”Not long after we were together, my parents passed away. I was in pain during that period, and you accompanied me through the darkest period of my life.”
He suddenly recalled that I had some impression of the time we had just spent together.
For a while he was very sad, and his whole being sank into a state of decadence.
He was still in college at the time, but he wasn't in the mood to study, and as soon as we met, he told me all of a sudden about his parents' deaths. As a new friend, I was a little taken aback.
I've also experienced the pain of my loved ones dying. In my short and miserable life at that time, my grandparents were my only family. When they died, I didn't even have the chance to see them once …
It was probably for this reason that I felt the death of his parents.
We had only just met then, but I had always been by his side as a friend, trying to enlighten her and soothe him. It was from then on that the two of us got closer and closer …
After a while, he gradually walked out from the grief of losing his parents. It was my birthday. On that day, he chose to confess to me.
And then we were together, and everything went down the drain... But why is he telling me this now? Do you want to bring me along to reminisce about the past?
”If you want to recall the past, I advise you to take it easy. I don't have the time.”
”I only told you that my parents died, but I didn't tell you why they died, right?”
He went to the bar and got himself a bottle of vodka.
I watched him pour himself a glass of wine with great skill. I remember how he didn't like to drink, even when it was the worst thing that happened to him.
He had once told me that it was the most cowardly thing to try to get drunk and avoid what you didn't want to face.
Look, I'm not the only one who changed in these five years. Everyone has changed.
”My parents died because of the demolition site.”
As he spoke, he poured wine into his mouth.
”At that time, my parents were in a small business, relying on business to support me and Mingyu to help me go to college. ”It just so happened that my father was sick at that time and our family was in need of money. That little shop at home was our only source of income.”
At the beginning, Lin Mu's narration was very dull, but when we arrived, I clearly saw his eyes gradually turning red. I lowered my head and after a long time of clenching his fists, a white color of ischemia appeared on his face.
”At that time, that plot of land was targeted to be brought to the business base. I was in university and their demolition fee had yet to arrive. Because of that small amount of money, my parents had a conflict with the demolition team …”
”When I see them again, there will only be two badly mutilated corpses …”
Lin Mu choked with sobs. In all the years I was together with him, he had never told me about his parents, I thought it was because he did not want to talk about it, so I did not ask.
”Can you understand? I ate it the night before, my mother cooked it for me, and when I saw them the next day, they were already … ”He's become a corpse that can't speak and can't move …”
