Chapter 704 The Young Lady and the Repairman (End)
Bai Yao never waited for him to take this step, but it didn’t matter. She took two steps back and held his cold hand.
"He Mian, let’s leave together."
He Mian stared at Bai Yao in a daze, and a mist that could be named despair gradually rose in his dark eyes.
"Yaoyao, I... I can't..."
He couldn't say a complete sentence. He was greedy for the warmth in her hands, but afraid of her eyes.
Bai Yao didn't give him time to hesitate. She exerted force in her hands and forcefully pulled him forward one step, and then another step.
The wind by the river was still blowing, the shadows of the trees were still swaying, the white clouds in the sky, the flowers and plants on the ground, all of this was still real.
He Mian was not blocked by the invisible force, nor did he disappear like mist.
He could still see the blue sky and green trees, the red flowers and green grass, and the lover who held his hand and lived in his heart.
Bai Yao's eyebrows were curved, and his eyes were shining, just like the faint starlight in the dark night when he looked up. It didn't need to be too bright or too dazzling, as long as he could catch it.
"He Mian, I really can't bear to leave you."
He Mian blinked dully, and when his sluggish brain resumed working, he finally noticed a large blue suitcase in the trunk of the car.
He still remembered that when Bai Yao packed her things and went out today, she only took a pink medium-sized suitcase. When did this blue suitcase appear, and what was in it?
His throat began to tighten, and his eyes that were locked on his lover began to blur.
In the past, on that summer afternoon, Bai Yao took a book and sat in the backyard, leaning against the back of the chair and closing her eyes to rest. The sky was clear, but she suddenly heard thunder and someone crying:
"Good night!"
Bai Yao opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. She could only see the lake in the distance, which was calm and windless. Whether it was thunder or shouting, it seemed like her illusion.
But today, she realized that it was not an illusion.
After Blue Pigeon drove away, Bai Yao took off her coat and shoes and jumped into the lake.
She had a strong premonition that the answers to her questions were in this dangerous lake.
Was she afraid?
Of course she was.
After all, such a large lake was inhabited by a man who was looking for a bride not long ago.
The cold lake water has swallowed up countless lives over the years.
Bai Yao could only hold on for a short while before returning to the shore to rest. After repeating this several times, she finally found the answer she was looking for in a corner of the water.
The crisscrossing algae and waterweeds gently swayed with the waves.
They are mysterious and ruthless, tightly entwining the boy in the water, as if they have found an object to parasitize, the best food, and will keep him here even if the years pass.
He seems to be asleep, with a calm expression, without any pain, and no trace of struggle.
The cold water surrounds his body every moment, and the green aquatic plants brush against his skin. The sunlight on the water surface cannot penetrate the water surface completely, leaving only a ray of light faintly penetrating the deep water and barely staying in his hair.
Bai Yao emerged from the water, tears melting into the lake water, and she crawled to the shore little by little. She could no longer bear it, so she knelt on the ground, and her uncontrollable crying seemed to vent from the cracks of her soul, crying and shouting: "Good night!"
It was as if the overly strong emotions were echoed by the lake.
She returned to that thunderstorm night.
Bai Yao watched the boy's back with her own eyes, stepping into the water step by step, and then sinking deeper and deeper into it, without even a bubble of struggle.
He went to die without hesitation, willingly, and there was a force that overcame the instinct for survival, driving him to dare to make such a choice.
Then, he rescued his lover who was about to drown in the water and brought her to the surface of the water.
But he stayed in the deep water forever, accompanied by the cold.
The noise of the thunderstorm, the crying of the girl, all the noises intertwined together to compose a song worthy of the name "Despair".
Bai Yao suddenly realized something.
A long time ago, the thunder she heard in the yard on a summer afternoon, and the call she heard, all happened.
She turned her head, it was in the direction of the backyard.
Before she could get dim, she saw the girl resting on a bench.
The girl heard the movement, took off the book covering her face, and stood up curiously. The moment she looked over, the intersection of time and space split again, and all the pictures returned to normal.
There was no thunder, no heavy rain, under the clear sky, the lake was still the calm lake.
And on the bench in the backyard, the former self was gone.
She didn't know why, but the people in the manor seemed to be able to see what would happen in the future at a certain time and under certain circumstances.
Since she could see her future self, what about He Mian?
Did he know what his ending would be, but still went on regardless of everything?
Bai Yao knew that He Mian's father was not around and his mother was not good to him. If she pestered him for too long and delayed his return, he would have new scars on his body when he came to the manor the next day.
So every sunset, she didn't dare to keep him.
Not long ago, a female corpse appeared in the water. Bai Yao could guess who the dead woman was.
He Mian couldn't leave the manor, but these days, he appeared in front of Bai Yao every morning and parted with Bai Yao at dusk. He pretended that nothing had happened, as if he was still alive.
Except that his body temperature was always cold, he pretended very well.
He had no family and no friends.
Bai Yao was everything to him.
This boy, who was just over 18 years old, poured all his emotions on her, restrained, passionate, and crazy.
The most ridiculous thing Bai Yao had ever done was probably what she asked Lan Pigeon to do today.
With her strength, it was difficult for her to get the boy back to the surface, so she could only ask Lan Pigeon for help.
Lan Pigeon had just changed his wet clothes not long ago. He was shocked and terrified. He was just an ordinary person and it was difficult for him to have the courage to pick up the body.
But Bai Yao said on the phone: "He died for me. I couldn't leave him in the water to be bitten by fish and insects. Brother Lan, he is the one I love."
Her voice sounded very calm, but it made people feel sadder than crying.
Lan Pigeon couldn't help but think of Shi Li and Luo Xuan.
Everyone who came to the manor seemed to be shrouded in the word "sacrifice". Giving up oneself to save the one they love, what is there to be afraid of such a person, even if he becomes a ghost?
The blue pigeon accepted the request and jumped into the water. Looking at the boy trapped in the water plants, he felt a sense of pity.
If there was one good thing about this lake, it was that the boy's body remained intact, without swelling or decay. It was as if the heavens were also pitying him.
A cruel pity.
Bai Yao held He Mian's hand and walked forward without stopping, "Don't worry, I've already found a house. Of course, you can't be lazy while I'm in school. Haven't you saved up your money? You can study hard at home and try to get into a good school next year."
"By the way, the property management company there said they're short of a repairman. I think you're a good fit. You should save the money you earn. When I get a job, we can work hard together and live in a bigger house."
"Of course, our future work can't be too far from home. I don't want to be separated from you." Bai Yao raised her eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "He Mian, we will be together forever."
He Mian's eyes were slightly curved, and a little mist slid down the red corners of his eyes, like the hazy rain and mist that often appear in Minghu Town. He said "um" with difficulty, and then laughed with a strong nasal tone, "We will be together forever."
The trembling tone suggested that he was so fragile that he was almost physically powerless at this time. He seemed to have really become water. If he had no attachment, he would fall apart at any time.
The fragile appearance of the boy was indeed the best aphrodisiac for Bai Yao.
Bai Yao pulled him into the car and closed the door.
Blue Pigeon closed the trunk, walked to the car, and just as he was about to open the door and get in, he saw the situation inside.
The girl pressed on the boy, held his face, and kissed him viciously.
Such a tall boy didn't know how to resist and let the female tyrant do whatever she wanted to him!
Blue Pigeon turned his back silently, and cursed in his heart.
In the past, I only thought Bai Yao was an exquisite young lady. Who would have thought that she was so crazy that she could kiss and hug a ghost!
However, Blue Pigeon turned his mind to the corpse in the trunk, and his emotions became a little subtle.
