Chapter 299 Dream, it's time to wake up
In the car, I didn't understand why Chen Yue suddenly made this request to me, but I noticed a small detail, that is... At this time, Chen Yue seemed to have become different from before.
A little while later, I nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, then... where do you want to go to this first stop?" I smiled and asked, "How many places do you remember when we have been?"
"Of course I remember, um..." Chen Yue raised her hand to support her chin, thought for a while, and said, "I'm hungry, go to Xianhe Street first. There are a lot of food we like to eat there, let's go."
"Okay, listen to you, let's go now!"
...
In the following week, aside from working hours, I accompanied Chen Yue almost the rest of the time to relive the places we used to visit.
The first day was Xianhe Street, which was a snack street. I remember when Shen Yue and I were together, we would eat there after get off work, sometimes it was dinner, and sometimes it was midnight snack.
The next day, we went to the coastal corridor again and took a look at the pink dolphin. However, we heard that due to changes in urban planning, the iconic pink dolphin was about to be demolished. When we went over to see, there were already construction workers around the dolphin.
On the third day, we went hiking together in the morning and experienced the morning sunshine on the mountain in City A. The fresh air gradually dispelled the haze in my heart.
Day 4...
Day 5...
Until the seventh day, today is Sunday, and it happened to be the last day of our agreement to "relive a week". On this day, Chen Yue proposed to go back to the small house we lived in before and take a look.
When she told me about the destination of the last day, my guess was almost the same!
The small house we lived in in the past has changed to other tenants. After all, it has been more than a year since then. The rental building used to be the same as before, but the people who lived there used to have long "changed".
When I stopped and watched, I really felt like "things are different from people, everything is gone, tears will flow first if I want to speak!"
At the entrance of the small house we lived on the fourth floor, after we looked at it for a while, Chen Yue suddenly turned around and said to me, "Dongli, do you remember there is a rooftop on the top floor? We had sunburned quilts on it before."
I nodded and replied, "Remember, the door on the rooftop is rarely opened. Do you want to go up and take a look? I just don't know if the landlord has opened it today."
"You'll know if you go up first." Chen Yue finished speaking and walked up the stairs first.
This rental building has eight floors in total, and the eighth floor is just the rooftop. A short while later, we walked up to the entrance of the stairs on the seventh floor. When we saw the afterglow of the sunset happen to fall on the stairs, we knew that the door of the rooftop was opened today.
I have to say that the location of this rooftop is really good. You can see the scenery of the mountain about two kilometers away from us. That mountain... was the mountain we went to climb two days ago. It seemed to be from a scenic spot.
The landlord still likes to plant many flowers and plants on the rooftop like before. I still remember that the landlord once planted a large pot of succulents here, and the small succulents were neatly arranged. However, this time, the flowerpots were still there, but the orderly succulents in the past were gone, only some barren loose soil, and one or two stubborn grasses were swaying in the evening breeze.
Chen Yue walked to the front of the fence of the rooftop. She closed her eyes, then opened her hands, allowing the dusk wind to penetrate her body as if she was feeling the breath of freedom.
That's all, freedom, but if you look closely at the word "freedom", you look at the two words "freedom" in a regular way and don't look "free" at all.
"Chen Yue..."
"Shh! Dongli, don't talk for now. Have you heard the sound of sob in the wind? I seemed...what I heard was Nini calling me..."
Seeing that Chen Yue didn't want me to disturb her, I chose to remain silent, but I was still very close to her because I was worried that she would do irrational things again. After all, the position she was standing at the edge of the rooftop fence.
After a while, maybe Chen Yue felt that the open hands were numb, so she withdrew her hands, slowly opened her eyes, and then walked down.
At this moment, when she looked at Chen Yue again, her eyes looked much clearer, and her face was very calm, completely different from her previous expression.
"Dongli, you actually saw it a long time ago, right?" Chen Yue pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled calmly. When the pot of jasmine flowers next to her was blown away by the wind, a leaf just fell. Chen Yue raised her hand to slowly catch the fallen flowers.
"Thank you for your willingness to act in this scene with me. The dream that has been sleeping for a long time is now time to wake up."
Chen Yue was right, actually... I came out after Ning Bingrou went to the ward to chat with her for more than 20 minutes. The words she said to me soon made me begin to doubt that Chen Yue's memory had recovered.
Later, I gradually confirmed that she had said some of the words and behaviors until she asked to relive them with me for a week, and that she would come to the small house we had lived in. She had been pretending to be amnesia for the past week!
I looked at the jasmine flower in her hand and said softly: "The past is like smoke, 'Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers'. I know that we will never come together again, and we will no longer be worried about parting. We have never said goodbye well before, so let's use this week to let us say goodbye together."
Chen Yue and I glanced at the jasmine flower with a faint fragrance in her hand, and smiled relievedly, "You are right, our love has been blown to the sea by the wind and will never come back..."
When he said this, Chen Yue raised his hand vigorously, and the jasmine flower in his hand swayed in the wind instantly, and our eyes followed the flowers, but... it floated to another place and would not come back to the rooftop, nor to Chen Yue's hand!
"Dongli, I no longer love you, and I have completely let you go. Bingrou went into the ward to chat with me for so long that day, and I realized that she understands you better than me before and is willing to give you time to grow up."
Chen Yue walked forward two steps and continued with a smile: "Actually, I envy her and admire her very much. If... I could understand you more like her, maybe we wouldn't be like this today. Bingrou is a very brave woman. She is brave enough to give for love and for you. Even though she knows that once you are 'handed' me, those past love entanglements will inevitably be inevitable, but she still did this."
I listened to Chen Yue's words in surprise. After a while, I asked in confusion: "I want to know, what did you talk about that day?"
"This is a secret between me and her, a secret that will not tell anyone, but I can tell you an agreement between me and Bingrou."
"What agreement?"
"Bingrou asked me to give you this." As he spoke, Chen Yue took out a small light blue note from his pocket. "She said, if one day you really put down these things completely, come and look for her. This is the address. If I didn't give you this note, maybe you couldn't find her."
Chen Yue hesitated for a moment and handed me the note. I quickly opened it and took a look. It was indeed an address information on it. The location was in Yunsheng, but I had never heard of that place before, and I recognized it. It was Ning Bingrou's handwriting!
"In the week you have been with me, I almost fell into it. I had thought of tearing this note apart, but I couldn't bear it when I recalled her a woman who was willing to give so much for you and loved you so deeply. Dongli, go find her, and hope that I can receive your wedding invitation when you get married."
I silently put the note in my pocket, raised my head and asked Chen Yue, "What about you? What about you next? Are you going to find Lu Yijian?"
"Even if I go to find him, I won't be thinking of reunion with him. For Lu Yijian, I will never reconcile with him. To be fair, I treat him well. He himself once said that I treat him well, but I lowered my bottom line again and again. In the end, what did I get? Marrying into a wealthy family is a dream of deceiving oneself. It is not a love of equality, and it will never end with a perfect ending!"
"Actually... on the day of Nini's funeral, I saw Lu Yijian appear in the cemetery. But when I wanted to find him, he had already gotten in the car and left... Chen Yue, the pattern is open, and you will find that many things are not worthy of affecting your emotions at all, so don't do those meaningless things anymore."
She was not surprised when I told what Lu Yijian had happened that day, and even felt very disdainful, because she felt that Lu Yijian was not worthy of attending Nini's funeral openly!
Chen Yue sneered and said, "Indeed, when I think about them all going to die, I forgive everyone."
When Shen Yue said this, the woman in front of her was still so sad, kind and gentle in the last second, but the next second, she became so cold. For a moment, I felt that she was so strange!
During my brief silence, Chen Yue took the lead in walking towards the stairs, and whispered to me with her back, "It's going to rain, it's time for us to leave."
I took a look at the gloomy sky, and the night and dark clouds came together. When I looked at Chen Yue again, I reminded me of a word on the Internet: completely blackened...
No one knows what she was thinking about and what kind of things she would do next, but I understand that Chen Yue will definitely calculate the account between her and Lu Yijian!
That self-deceiving "dream" woke up completely at this moment!
Chapter completed!
