Chapter 51 Found You
Hearing his mother's pleas to stay, Sheng Yuan didn't even turn his head.
Year after year, every time I come back, it's the same old clichés, repeated over and over again.
No wonder Mingzhu never likes to come here.
A dull pain arose in my heart.
But even so.
Mingzhu would always accompany him back.
The car door was slammed shut, and then it drove away.
In the silent car, the cell phone rang abruptly.
Sheng Yuan shook his heavy head vigorously and picked up the phone without even looking.
"Mr. Sheng." Special Assistant Wang's voice came from the receiver.
The sound became vague and distant.
It feels like there is an extra layer of obstruction in my ears.
It was intermittent and not very clear.
Sheng Yuan bit the soft flesh inside his mouth hard until the taste of rust spread across the tip of his tongue.
His chaotic thoughts barely cleared up a little, and he said in a cold voice, "Speak."
"Lin's company has intercepted our project again." Special Assistant Wang said solemnly, "This time...will you come back and handle it in person?"
Sheng Yuan was silent for a while and let out a long breath.
Look at the street scene passing by quickly outside the car window.
"Let him have it." He replied calmly.
“But the board of directors…”
Before Assistant Wang could finish his words, the call was hung up.
The car fell into silence again.
Sheng Yuan leaned his head back on the seat and closed his dry eyes.
Twelve years.
They were together for the entire twelve years.
This was the first time he hadn't seen Mingzhu for so long.
But the less I see it.
The images in my memory become clearer and clearer.
Those fragments of being with Mingzhu kept appearing.
It's about to drive him crazy.
"Mr. Sheng, we're here."
The car stopped and Xiao Cheng whispered a reminder.
Sheng Yuan came back to his senses.
When he got off the car, his usually upright back became a little hunched.
When he opened the door, Aunt Liu was still busy in the living room. Seeing him come back, she hurried forward and said, "Sir, you're back."
As she said this, she looked behind Sheng Yuan, but still couldn't see the figure she wanted to see.
Sheng Yuan didn't react at all.
He walked straight to the wine cabinet, picked up a few bottles of wine, and turned to go upstairs.
The master bedroom still looks the same as it did when Mingzhu left.
In the last few years of marriage.
Sheng Yuan took the initiative to move to the guest room.
At the beginning, it was because his schedule conflicted with Mingzhu's.
He just didn't want to disturb Mingzhu's rest.
Later, gradually, even he himself didn't realize it.
Sleeping in separate rooms became a habit, and he took it for granted as a natural way of getting along.
Now he can't sleep all night long.
Only the remaining breath here can give him a brief respite.
As the days passed, the scent of the pearls continued to dissipate.
He couldn't find her.
The master bedroom door was closed gently.
Sheng Yuan could no longer hold on and slid down to the ground, holding his chest.
The pocket watch in his trouser pocket hurt his leg.
Sheng Yuan reached out and took it out, holding it high in front of his eyes.
I looked carefully with the light coming through the gap in the curtains.
The pointer has stopped moving a long time ago.
Sheng Yuan stared at it for a long time, and a chuckle escaped from his throat.
Then he casually put the pocket watch aside.
He unscrewed the cork from the bottle and drank it down, the alcohol burning his throat.
The nerves that had been tense for many days finally broke.
The corners of Sheng Yuan's eyes turned red. He lowered his head and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Mingzhu stood aside and looked at him.
This was Sheng Yuan's most devastated look, something Mingzhu had never seen before.
But now he is in such a mess.
Dark stubble covered his chin, and the collar of his suit was wrinkled and open.
Mingzhu no longer felt any sympathy for him.
"Zhuzhu..." Sheng Yuan's voice was choked with sobs, and his tone was full of helplessness. "Where are you?"
The voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into an indistinct mumbling.
"Please... come out... we won't get divorced... I can agree to anything you ask..."
Mingzhu remained indifferent.
Instead, he lowered his head to study the pocket watch.
I was inexplicably pulled over by the pocket watch.
She had to find a way to go back; she couldn't just be trapped here forever.
Time passes slowly.
The curtains were not drawn tightly, but the light in the room still dimmed a little bit.
Several empty wine bottles were thrown casually on the ground.
Sheng Yuan was very drunk and murmured incoherently: "Sister...are you back?"
This name is too old.
That was not long after they got together.
Sheng Yuan only calls out when he's acting coquettishly.
Mingzhu's back stiffened and she turned around suddenly.
She saw Sheng Yuan, with drunken eyes, staring straight at the direction where she was standing.
Sheng Yuan tried to stand up.
But I was too drunk to control the direction.
In the end, he simply let himself stagger and crawl towards Mingzhu.
His eyes were blurred, and he kept muttering: "Mingzhu...Mingzhu..."
Mingzhu subconsciously took a step back.
See Mingzhu's action.
Sheng Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he reached out to grab her: "You dare to hide from me? You dare to hide from me?"
Mingzhu took several steps back.
Seeing this, Sheng Yuan roared in anger, his defense completely broken. "You can't hide from me! I won't allow you to hide from me!"
However, just when he was about to touch the pearl.
The pointer of the pocket watch, which had been stagnant, suddenly jumped forward a large space.
The next second, Mingzhu's figure disappeared again out of thin air.
"Mingzhu! Mingzhu!" Sheng Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and he roared as he pounced into the empty corner.
"Where are you going!!! Come back... Please... Don't leave me... We won't get divorced... Okay..."
Sheng Yuan stumbled and searched continuously.
Finally, he could only fall to the ground exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Sheng Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
The memory of last night made his heart start beating wildly.
Mingzhu is back?
No, it can't be an illusion...
right.
She couldn't really just disappear like that!
Sheng Yuan rushed downstairs and grabbed Aunt Liu: "Where's Mingzhu? Is she back?"
Aunt Liu was frightened by his appearance and shook her head repeatedly: "Madam? No...no..."
"Impossible!" Sheng Yuan pushed her away and searched room by room like crazy.
But in the end, nothing was gained.
Suddenly, Sheng Yuan seemed to have thought of something and froze in place.
Pocket watch!
He had been drunk so many times these days, but Mingzhu had never appeared.
But why did Mingzhu appear just when he got the pocket watch?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Sheng Yuan rushed back to the master bedroom and picked up the watch tremblingly.
He still remembers it clearly.
But now, the pointer that was originally stagnant actually moved forward a big space.
Sheng Yuan stared at the watch face intently, the corners of his mouth slowly rising, and an almost insane joy welling up in his eyes.
"I found you." He murmured, "Zhuzhu."
