C78 (2/2)

Hearing his tone, I began to feel uncomfortable.

But I still pretended to look the same, and went with him to greet the so-called ”friends.”

We walked in circles, and suddenly I saw a familiar figure in a corner.

Apparently he didn't notice me, and it was precisely because he didn't notice me that I had time to reconfirm over and over again whether he was the person in my mind!

I walked slowly toward him, looking exactly the same as I had five years ago!

Who else could it be other than Lin Mu!

I hurried over to him, but in the blink of an eye he was gone!

I ran to the corner where he had been and looked around again and again, but there was no sign of him.

I know I can't be wrong, he must still be here!

”Where is Lin Mu!? ”Come out!”

Ignoring the surprised looks of the guests, I called out to him in public.

But he evaporated like a ghost into the crowd, as if everything I had just seen was an illusion.

”Come out! Don't hide from me! If you have anything to say, say it clearly! ”

At this moment, I had already completely fallen into a crazed state. I couldn't accept once again having him disappear from my sight.

I stayed at the corner where Lin Mu was standing just now, squatting down in despair as I cried sorrowfully.

Jiang Yu rushed over and saw me crying on the ground. Without saying a word, he held me in his arms and left the banquet.

I sat in Jiang Yu's car and continued to cry.

”Enough!”

He couldn't bear it any longer and said, ”Just how long are you going to be sad for that man?!”

I didn't say anything. He slammed his fist against the steering wheel of the car. Even I was shocked.

But I was still caught up in my own grief, and he walked me home in silence and flung the door open and left without looking back.

I was curled up on the big sofa at home, but I gradually realized a fact in my heart.

Lin Mu doesn't want me anymore.

Yes, five years ago he had gone out of his way to make a fake death, just to convince me that he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Perhaps for humanitarian reasons, or for some other reason, he didn't want to talk to me face to face, so he wanted to leave me in this way.

As for me, I foolishly took everything of him as faith!

Even when they found out that he was still alive, they would even have a sliver of hope in their hearts, thinking that he had some sort of difficult and unspeakable reason …

What difficulties could he have?

He didn't want to see me. He was purposely avoiding me!

If he really wanted me to find him, he wouldn't let me pass by him like this again and again …

I'm such a complete fool!

I didn't want to be so wide awake anymore. I scrambled off the couch, took a random bottle of wine from the top of the liquor cabinet at home, cracked the cap, and poured it into my mouth.

The taste of the wine was really bitter, but not as bitter as the pain in my heart.

I wiped the tears off my face and continued to pour them into my mouth.

All of a sudden, I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered something Lin Mu said to me that he would always love me …

Were all humans like this, allowing him to take back his promises as he pleased?
