When I walked out of the studio, it was already very late. The company members had all left, leaving only the security guard at the door.
It was raining so hard I couldn't leave.
After standing at the door for a long time, I still called to go home. Fortunately, Xiao Wei was home with the child.
I told her I might not be back until later, and looking out at the rain, I sighed and went back upstairs to my office.
I reached for the wall and tried to turn on the light, but at that moment a pair of hands came out of the darkness and dragged me inside, closing the door behind them.
I was shocked. When I calmed down, I could smell a faint sandalwood fragrance floating in the air.
I was frozen in place, unable to even breathe.
When my emotions finally recovered, I subconsciously wanted to escape, but my entire body was tightly held in his embrace, unable to move.
"Have you had a bad five years?" His voice was low, but when it hit me, it was like a thunderclap. With a rumble, all the defenses in my heart were destroyed.
I tried to control my emotions, not wanting my tears to burst.
"I'm back." His voice had a hint of hoarseness to it, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
I didn't say anything, and he held me tighter.
"Tea, I'm back."
When he said this, I could no longer control my emotions. Tears flowed freely. Luckily, it was pitch black around me. He couldn't see the tears on my face.
I pushed him away with all my might and wanted to escape, but he grabbed onto my hand and I couldn't go anywhere.
"Tea, I know that we have missed each other by a lot. I also know that I have made an extremely unforgivable mistake and I have no right to ask for your forgiveness …" "But I …"
"Enough! "Stop talking!"
Before he could finish his sentence, I interrupted him.
If there was anything in this world that could affect my emotions in an instant, it would be him.
I was afraid that he would say something to me that he wanted to make up. I was afraid of his guilt and tears.
There were too many obstacles between us that we couldn't cross over. I no longer had the courage to confirm whether or not I was the Su Cha who gave up everything for him back then.
I took a deep breath and pushed him away. I took a big step back to put a safe distance between us. After that, I wiped away all the tears on my face and turned on the lights in the studio.
Afterwards, I used an extremely cold and desolate voice to look at him. I asked expressionlessly:
"Mr. Bo, why are you looking for me?"
He froze, his face hurt, and my heart throbbed.
I didn't feel good about him either.
"Tea, I remember everything. Ring, everything about us …" I remember it all. Tea, we've already missed it for so many years, we can't afford to miss it again, right? "
His voice shook as if he were praying for an answer.
But I had to remind myself over and over again that he was getting married, that he was soon going to get married, and that to him, I was just a stranger.
"What is in the past is already the past. What is in the past is now the past. There is no need to bring up the past anymore."
"I don't believe it!" He stared at me as if he could see through me. "Why don't you dare look at me? Why don't you dare look me in the eye and say! Su Cha, can you really forget everything that happened in the past?! "
I clenched my hands into fists and dug my nails deep into my flesh. The sudden sharp pain warned me not to be soft-hearted because of his words.
I forced myself to look up and meet his eyes.
"Yes sir!"
His eyes immediately turned dark.
"Su Cha, are these your heartfelt words?"
The air suddenly became very silent. My fists clenched even tighter as I clenched my teeth to force myself to nod.
"I want you to speak! I want you to personally admit that these are your heartfelt words! " He looked at me, his eyes warm.
"Yes!" These are my heartfelt words! Bo Lengqing, should I call you Bo Lengqing now, or should I call you Mu Chen?! At that time, you did not remember anything. You did not remember that you loved me, and you also did not remember how much had happened between us. When you told me to scram without hesitation, did you ever think that this would happen? You seriously injured me time and time again, insulting me when I trampled on you, have you ever thought that this would happen? "
I looked up, tears filling my eyes.
"Bo Lengqing, you are very arrogant, right?! You know that I like you, so I will definitely accept your request. No matter how much you hurt me, I will easily forgive you.
"I'm not, Su Cha, I'm not..." Seeing my tears, he began to panic. He quickly explained to me, but I didn't give him the chance.
"You don't?! No, of course not! You just died when I was most guilty, and then you turned into another face and you reappeared in my life! You made me use that kind of identity that cannot be shown in public, but by staying by your side for two whole years, I had soothed all of my edges and pride! Bo Lengqing, do you know why I didn't explain? "
I said word by word, "Because I'm scared, and I've had enough of the days of pestering you. If you lose your memory, I can just get rid of you, get rid of everything, and never have to stay by your side again! Now that my words have reached this point, are you satisfied?! "
His face turned pale. "So, you never wanted to explain it to me from the beginning. Compared to reminding me of the past, you want me to never remember it, right?"
"Yes sir!"
"In order to completely get rid of me, you left your daughter with me so that I could completely stop thinking about you. Even if I remember everything that happened in the past, I can only treat you as dead, right?"
"Yes sir!"
My answer was so firm, so quick, as if everything was really as I had said.
However, no one knew how my strong calmness concealed a heart that was in pieces.
I've already heard the news that you're going to get married. I've also received the invitation, and will not be going on the day of your marriage.
As I said this, my voice was trembling. I could see that his expression was getting uglier and uglier. The light of hope in his eyes gradually turned into despair. My heart ached.
It really was painful, really painful.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
In our relationship, I played the role of deserter again and again. I was either unable to face him or was afraid to face him. As expected, I was still unable to say goodbye to him properly.
Forget about me, you are no longer my Mu Chen. You are now Bo Lengqing, and I am no longer the Su Cha of the past.
All these years, you have been accompanied by someone else, and as long as that person exists, we will never be able to reach the other side.
We have turned our backs on two vertical lives and are destined to be parallel to each other no longer.
Forgetting is perhaps the only relief for us.
Every step I took out of the studio was a long one, as if it would never be finished.
The rain was much lighter outside, but it was still heavy, but it didn't seem to matter to me whether it was raining or not.
I walked in the rain, the rain hit my body so painful, but my heart hurt even more.
He was going to be married, he was going to be married soon, he was going to be married to another woman, and the day was finally coming.
Soon he will have a whole new life, and I should be happy for him …
But my heart hurts, it really hurts …
Some people say, the way to forget one person is to start with another. Is this method really useful? I don't know, but to forget about him, I'd like to try.
