Chapter 539 - Loving You Is Akin To Being At A Tiger’s Mouth, I Have Escaped Danger (2/2)
No one understood why her pure and clear voice made everyone want to tear up when she sang.
The girl strummed her guitar while she sang…
Talking about the promises that we gave out with our lives
Turning my head back to look at this luxurious world
Every moment that I loved you, it was like a train that flew past;
The tears that I said not to shed
They are scalding my eyes right now
Loving you is like being at a tiger’s mouth
I have escaped danger…
She sang these two last lines repeatedly — Loving you is like being at a tiger’s mouth, I have escaped danger.
The thought that ran through her mind was… these past ten years, every moment that she loved him.
She was bidding farewell right now.
To Yin Muchen.
…
Two days later, Liu Caizhe went into the condominium unit,. The entire unit was empty and cold. It was as if no one had been living at this place for a long time. When he stepped foot inside, no echo rang out in the air.
Aunty sat down on the sofa as she drooped her head down and sighed. The moment Miss Yin left, she brought away all signs of life along with her.
Liu Caizhe was also worried. “Aunty, where is Muchen? Is he still drinking upstairs? How many days has it been already? Has he come out of the wine vat that he is soaking in? There are a ton of doc.u.ments in the office that are waiting for him to handle. I am already so exhausted dealing with everything. Does he think that his body is made out of metal? He is not sleeping or eating. He is just drinking alcohol? Does he still want his life?”
“Manager Liu, don’t say that about Sir. Sir does not feel too good inside his heart. When I look at him…”Aunty lifted her sleeve to wipe her tears away.
Liu Caizhe shook his head and let out a sigh. Every member of this family was not doing well, no matter how small, big or old, and he stomped up the stairs.
He opened the door of the wine cellar, Yin Muchen was inside as he expected. The man had not changed out of his grey s.h.i.+rt and black trousers for a long time now. His outfit was crumpled and messy. He perched himself on the wooden table as he got drunk and slept, and when he woke up again, he started to drink again.
Liu Caizhe came forward and patted his shoulder, “Muchen, Miss Yin left today. She should be at the airport at this moment. If you rush over right now, you might be able to catch her.”
Yin Muchen lifted his head up. He was already half drunk. His firm lower jaw was covered in stubble, and he had not shaven his moustache for a long period of time. He lifted his hand up to have a mouthful of alcohol. He laughed self-mockingly as his voice was hoa.r.s.e and unclear. “Catch her? Heh… She does not want to see me… When she left, she asked me not to appear before her again. If…I really want her to live a good life in the future…”
The girl’s exquisite face appeared in Liu Caizhe’s mind. She was really soft and gentle in character like a small lamb, but when she truly hurt others, it was swift and harsh.
Who could take it after hearing her words?
“I know that she hates me. She hates me already… I forced myself on her, and even… caused her to have a miscarriage… The expression that she had in her eyes was so cold. Oh, that was not right… She does not even look me in the eye anymore…”
“Muchen….” Liu Caizhe did not know how to comfort him, actually in this world, if there was no such thing as love, there would be no hate either, if… if the girl really truly hated him, then she should really told Yin Muchen the truth….
But she did not do so.
Yin Muchen suddenly put the bottle down. He looked at Liu Caizhe as if he were grabbing onto his lifesaver. “Hand me your phone… Give me your phone quickly…”
He did not understand what was going on. “Muchen, who do you want to call?” Liu Caizhe asked as he handed his phone over to Yin Muchen.
Yin Muchen took his phone, and there was a touch of a smile on his handsome stubble-laden face. “I want to give…little mute a call. I want her to come over right now to accompany me… Shuiling has left, I still have little mute. Haha, this is great. This is way too great…”
The man kept repeating how great it was, and as he expected, he found “Little Mute” inside Liu Caizhe’s contact book. This name “Little Mute” was the name that he had given her. Liu Caizhe saved this name inside his phone after that.
He dialed the number and heard the busy tone. Ding, ding!
At this moment, Yin Shuiling was at the airport. The broadcast in the hall rang out in the air. “Travellers heading to England can start to board now.” She took the bag in her hands and took her flight ticket and pa.s.sport to head over to the customs.
At this moment, a ringtone rang out. She received a call.
She took her phone out to have a look; it was a call from Liu Caizhe.
Her long curled lashes froze for a moment. These three years, Liu Caizhe only texted her, but now, he was calling her. There was no need to think about it. She could already guess who was calling her.
Yin Muchen.
She went to the rubbish bin and threw her phone inside with a plop.
She started walking and she did not turn her head back.
After that, Yin Muchen heard the cold voice of the female robot. “Sorry, the number that you are calling right now is unable to be connected”… He dialed the same number a few more times, and he got the same result. No one picked up.
There was no one answering.
The smile on the corners of Yin Muchen’s lips disappeared. His dark eyes were both hopeless and in a daze as he said, “Why is Little Mute not picking up my call? Why is she not answering… Does she not want me anymore either?”
Yin Muchen was extremely emotional as he tugged Liu Caizhe’s collar. “Help me find Little Mute. I have money. The only thing that I have right now is money. As long as she is willing to be together with me, I am willing to give all of my money to her…”
“Muchen, calm down…”
Yin Muchen let go of Liu Caizhe’s collar. He fell back into the chair. Ding! He received a message.
Yin Muchen read the message, it was a video from a subordinate.
He tapped the video open, and it was the girl in the bar. Her beautiful legs were crossed over one another, and she was casual and cool as she sat down. She lightly closed her beautiful eyes as she strummed the guitar as she sang out loud.
What was she singing about…
Talking about the promises that we gave out with our lives
Turning my head back to look at this luxurious world
Every moment that I loved you, it was like a train that flew past;
The tears that I said not to shed
They are scalding my eyes right now
Loving you is like being at a tiger’s mouth
I have escaped danger…
Yin Muchen was in a daze as he looked at the moisture on the corners of the girl’s eyes, and he noticed two teardrops slip out.
He suddenly thought of the winter rose that she buried in the backyard of the Yin family home. Chasing after love, she still sang out, every moment that I have loved you, it was just like a train that flew by and pa.s.sed by me.
“Heh, hehe…” Yin Muchen started to laugh at first before breaking out into long chain of laughter. His mind was just like a movie as it started to replay the events of the past ten years and the way she looked as she chased after him.
She always had a bright smile on her face as she chased after him. She would call him by his name. While being half awake in his embrace, she would ask, Yin Muchen, I like you, why don’t you ever believe me?
He believed it now.
Yin Muchen believed it now.
10 years. She loved him for the entire 10 years.
But what rang out in his ears repeatedly was what the girl sang out at last — Loving you is like being at a tiger’s mouth, I have escaped danger…
She did not love him anymore.
So, she had escaped danger.
Why had he just understood the love she had for him? His love was just like a flower that had withered away.
Yin Muchen perched himself on the wooden table. His eyes were red before they turned wet…
Liu Caizhe quietly stood in place. He looked at this powerful 28 year old man. He perched himself on the table before softly choking up as he sobbed.
He cried just like a child.
