C10 A Wedding Gift
I took the last few hundred dollars I had on me and bought a ticket back home.
On the high-speed rail, I watched the familiar scene in front of me as I quickly retreated.
The people I loved, my former home, the cities I lived in, they were all getting further and further away from me.
The sky was blue, the clouds were white, the leaves were green. The buildings were of different colors and heights.
For the last time, I look at this city with reluctance, then I cry.
Jin City.
The ancient street was quiet and filled with a simple and honest atmosphere.
This is the city that I've lived in since I was a child, and also the place where I met Lih Xiaocheng.
My life and love started in this land, so let them end here.
Remembering my parents who I haven't contacted for six years, I mustered up my courage and sat on the bus back to the county town.
I don't intend to let them send me off. I just want to secretly go back and look at them from afar.
As long as they are safe and sound, I will die without regrets.
The journey was bumpy, and I felt dizzy. My ears were ringing, and my vision was blurred.
I quickly took out the medicine. I shook my hand and poured out a few pills, then swallowed them.
If I go blind at this critical moment, then I won't have the face to go back and see them.
After the situation has slightly improved, I took out my phone from my pocket that had already been turned off. After hesitating for a moment, I put it back.
After getting out of the car, I looked around the half-ruins and half-housing area, confused and stunned.
This place had already become completely unfamiliar.
I can't find my house at all, nor can I find anyone I know.
I hurriedly asked an aunty at the station what exactly happened here.
"Six years ago, there was a huge earthquake in Nanyang City next door. There was a landslide here, and many people died. Don't you know?" The middle-aged woman sighed. She seemed unwilling to mention the sad past.
My heart suddenly sank and my whole body felt cold.
Six years ago, after a big fight with my parents, I dragged my luggage and went to Tongcheng. I accompanied Lih Xiaocheng to work hard and start a business. I only cared about Lih Xiaocheng.
After I heard about the earthquake in Nanyang, I also called my mother to ask about the situation at home. However, my number was blacklisted by her, so when the call couldn't be connected, I didn't pay much attention to it!
"Is the Gu family in the west of the city still there?" My voice couldn't help but tremble.
"The entire street in the western part of the city has been buried. There's no Gu family left!" The aunty muttered as she wore her glasses and read the newspaper. She didn't want to bother with me anymore.
I felt as if my heart was being torn apart. I felt as if my heart was bleeding.
The farewell between my parents and I was actually an argument that was so bad that it cut off all relations!
I am truly unfilial. It actually took six years for me to know that my family had passed away!
Now, I am truly a lonely person. I have no worries, and no one cares about me anymore.
I don't have a lover, no relatives, I have nothing.
I burst into tears, crying very sadly.
At this time, the TV of the small shop by the roadside was broadcasting the explosive news of Tongcheng.
The financial tycoon of Tongcheng, Lih Xiaocheng, announced his remarriage. His new wife was already pregnant.
A strong sense of dizziness hit my brain. My brain felt like it was going to explode.
Two sticky hot streams flowed out of my nose and dripped onto the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Both my parents died, but he remarried!
I forcefully pulled myself together and turned on my phone.
Dozens of missed text messages and missed calls flooded out. I didn't take a closer look and directly called Cheng Feng's number.
Soon, someone picked up the call. It was as if he had been waiting for my call.
"Cheng Feng, I have chosen a tomb. Can you bring me there?"
……
27th, Sept. , 2019, Hilton Hotel, Tongcheng.
The banquet hall was filled with celebration and celebration. Guests from all tables toasted and toasted. It was extremely lively.
I sat in a wheelchair and allowed Cheng Feng to push me as I walked towards the stage of the wedding hall.
My eyelids are very heavy. I can barely see the expression of the tall man in a suit and shoes on the stage when he saw me.
The surrounding people sighed and discussed animatedly. They seemed to be shocked by my actions.
I feel that my nose is wet. I reached out and touched it. It was all blood.
Cheng Feng, who was behind me, quickly used a tissue to wipe me. However, he found that my blood was flowing more and more like a faucet.
I heard people around me gasp in surprise. The blood on my face was indeed frightening, and it was unlucky enough for this wedding.
I laughed coldly and focused my gaze on Lih Xiaocheng.
"Xiaocheng, long time no see. " I smiled and said, "I'm here to give you a wedding present. "
