Chapter 40
There was silence in the car.
The winter wind in northern Europe was extremely cold at this moment, penetrating into every pore of Lin Shu, soaking into his limbs and bones, and devouring the little body temperature left in his life.
Lin Shu looked out the window, his eyes swept over the exotic buildings, he didn't care to watch them, but just let go in a daze.
The car drove into the parking lot and parked in the original parking space.
Click——
The doors were also locked when the car was parked.
Qin Yuchi turned off the fire, looked sideways at Lin Shu, his voice was still gentle, "Mr. Lin, what do you think we are not suitable for?"
Why don't you lose your temper?
Why do you still talk to him in such a gentle tone?
Lin Shu tightened his fingers and clenched into fists, his voice was cold, "It doesn't fit anywhere."
Qin Yuchi pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, no longer caring about gentlemanly manners, grabbed Lin Shu's wrist, and pulled him directly in front of him.
The grip on the wrist was not small, and Lin Shu felt that Qin Yuchi should be angry because of his contradictory attitude and his bad behavior of playing with the truth.
But when he turned around, Lin Shu didn't see any anger in those eyes, only the sincerity eager to explain.
"Mr. Lin, I like you very much, that's why sometimes I'm at a loss, silent, and don't know what to say, but I didn't mean to snub you." Qin Yuchi explained.
Qin Yuchi was blaming himself again, thinking that he was suffering from those "dreams".
Fool, that's not a dream, that's your own memory.
Lin Shu can show his cards, but he has no courage at all.
He couldn't face the mistakes he had made, even Qin Yuchi, who had lost his memory, didn't dare to face it, let alone tell the whole story.
Lin Shu took a deep breath silently, and finally mustered up the courage to meet Qin Yuchi's eyes with a tone of disdain, just like meeting him for the first time.
"We are just ordinary acquaintances, not even friends. If you feel that I have cheated your feelings, I will compensate you for any resources you want." Lin Shu evoked a mischievous smile, like countless teasers.Emotional dandies.
The hand on the wrist suddenly loosened.
Lin Shu raised his chin, looking down with disdain as if watching an insignificant actor.
In the silence, Qin Yuchi was absent-minded for a moment, staring at Lin Shu in a daze, without saying a word.
"If you want this car, I can also give it to..."
"No. Don't say any more, Mr. Lin." Qin Yuchi lowered his head, seemed very disappointed, interrupted Lin Shu for the first time, opened the door and got out of the car.
boom
When the car door was closed, Qin Yuchi's back was getting further and further away, as if he had left countless times before, tall and cold, he never looked back with a smile, nor waved goodbye.
What little energy was left in his body was exhausted.
When the back disappeared from sight, Lin Shu leaned back in his chair weakly, laughing at himself as a coward.
He didn't have the guts to face Qin Yuchi whose memory had all been restored, let alone imagine how unbearable it would be when Qin Yuchi remembered everything.
And what he was most afraid of was seeing in Qin Yuchi's eyes again the hatred that wanted to tear him to pieces. He couldn't bear that hatred now, it was more painful than letting him die.
He's a coward now anyway.
Lin Shu gave up on himself, swallowed the car slowly, went around and sat in the driver's seat, and set off directly for the airport, leaving here as if fleeing for his life.
Lin Shu didn't know how long he had been waiting at the airport.
He was in a daze all the time, his eyes were clearly open, but he seemed to have fallen asleep, he didn't think about anything, he just listened to the radio reminder mechanically, and got on the plane mechanically.
When he arrived in city B, Qin Yuchi's down jacket was still wrapped around him.
Lin Shu fumbled in his pocket dully, only to find that Qin Yuchi's cell phone was still with him.
The phone has already run out of power and automatically shuts down.
Lin Shu hailed a car and went to the hotel where Qin Yuchi usually stayed, handed the down jacket and mobile phone to the front desk, registered the information, and returned home.
After February, the cold winter is receding, and the weather forecast predicts that there will be no more snow.
The snow on Huguang Mountain has long since melted and turned into dripping water droplets, rustling on the wet soil.
No one lived in the house for a week, and the heating was not turned on, so it was deserted.
Lin Shu entered the door, he seemed to be extremely tired, unable to climb the stairs, so he just lay straight on the sofa, eyes open in a daze.
Hum——
The phone rang, it was a message from Gao Jingge.
"Gao Jingge: Where are you? Why didn't you send me a message this morning?"
Looking at this line of news, Lin Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, putting his arm over his eyes to block the light.
Not long ago, he had assured Gao Jingge that he was not a child, he had a sense of propriety, but after a month, he would become a coward who wanted to die.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Shu replied, "I went to bed late this morning, and I forgot to report your safety."
"Gao Jingge: Okay. When are you going to come back? I'll pick you up."
"Lin Shu: No, he will take me home."
"Gao Jingge: ok."
Just after cheating Gao Jingge, someone sent him a message again.
"Sheng Jing: Mr. Lin, have you returned to City B? May I ask when will I resume work?"
Grand View...
He almost forgot about this person.
A substitute for him when he was deceiving himself.
He was really ashamed in this life. He had never been so embarrassed in his previous life. Not only did he find a low-quality substitute, but he also happened to be bumped into by Qin Yuchi.
When Qin Yuchi regained his memory, how would he look at him with contempt?
You will definitely find him ridiculous and disgusting.
Lin Shu scoffed at himself and replied to the message.
"Lin Shu: You don't need to come here anymore. The internship certificate and salary are still the same. If you have anything to do, just go to Gao Jingge and don't need to contact me again."
After sending the message, Lin Shu clicked into Qin Yuchi's dialog box.
On the chat page, the latest one was "Good night, Mr. Lin" from Qin Yuchi.
Lin Shu clenched his lower lip, clicked into Qin Yuchi's account page, his fingertips rested on "delete" and trembled, wanting to press it but reluctant to press it.
But when he really pressed it down, and a reminder popped up on the screen that the chat history would also be deleted, he panicked for no reason, and Lin Shu hurriedly clicked back.
After lying in a daze for a moment, Lin Shu sat up abruptly, and took out the tablet from the coffee table drawer.
Lin Shu opened WeChat and wanted to transfer Qin Yuchi's chat history to the tablet, and delete Qin Yuchi after saving it.
But Lin Shu soon realized that he was deceiving himself and others again.
He was reluctant to delete Qin Yuchi before because he still had illusions in his subconscious, thinking that he would have a chance to be consummated with Qin Yuchi in this life.
But it is no longer possible.
There was a sword of judgment hanging over his head, and when Qin Yuchi recovered his memory, that was when the sword came down and declared his crime.
What about keeping these records?
Lin Shu threw away the tablet, endured the intense pain in his heart, and deleted it without hesitation, then gritted his teeth and clicked OK.
In this generation, the relationship between people is so fragile.
A virtual delete button can cut off the connection between two people. As long as one party chooses to break the connection, the other party may never be able to be contacted again.
The moment Qin Yuchi disappeared from the list, Lin Shu had the illusion that he and Qin Yuchi would never see each other again in this lifetime.
But that's good too, at least Qin Yuchi doesn't have to see him anymore, let alone suffer, and he doesn't have to see those eyes full of hatred.
It's all good for them.
Turning the phone to silent and throwing it to the side of the sofa, Lin Shu closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because he finally knew that it was useless to sincerely repent, and the mistakes he had made would not disappear. God mercifully let him sleep well.
There are no grotesque dreams, nor crazy Qin Yuchi, only a silent darkness.
When it was getting late, Lin Shu woke up from the cold.
He sat up slowly, rubbed his hands to keep warm, and turned on the heater belatedly.
bang— bang—
Countless fireworks bloomed in the black sky, just as radiant as on New Year's Eve.
Colored light poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the same dark living room as that day.It's a pity that Lin Shu was the only one left in this huge house, and no one was sitting across from the coffee table to light candles for him.
Lin Shu stared out of the window in a daze, raised his head, and let the colorful light shine on his face and into his dull eyes.
When his neck became sore, Lin Shu stood up and walked slowly to the third floor, trying to find a set of pajamas from the cloakroom, but first saw Qin Yuchi's windbreaker.
Lin Shu stood still, then picked up the windbreaker and put it on, fastened the belt, and wrapped the windbreaker tightly, as if being hugged.
The essential oil of iris cedarwood is still in the pocket.
Anyway, Qin Yuchi won't want this dress again in the future, and he might still feel sick when he thinks of how he chased him so hard during this period.
Thinking of this, Lin Shu took out the essential oil, poured a lot of it into the palm of his hand, rubbed it on the tip of his nose without any scruples, and greedily rubbed it on his neck, until he smelled cedar wood at random.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the fireworks have been set off for a long time without stopping. This one is set off and the other one is set off, intermittently.
Lin Shu walked to the large terrace on the third floor, and as soon as he opened the door, the winter wind came in, blowing away the broken hair on his forehead.
The reclining chairs on the terrace were very clean. It should be that Gao Jingge asked someone to come to the house to clean it before he left.
Putting his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, Lin Shu slumped straight into the recliner, staring at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky in a daze.
The faint smell of fireworks fell into the tip of his nose. Lin Shu was annoyed, so he turned up the collar of his windbreaker, hid his whole face in the collar, and covered up the smell of fireworks with cedar incense.
In the cold wind, Lin Shu watched the fireworks bloom, extremely dazzling, then gradually dimmed, and finally turned into dull fragments.
In the early hours of the morning, the entire Huguang Mountain finally quieted down. There were no more lively fireworks, only the noisy wind.
The sky returned to gray.
Not to mention seeing distant stars in City B in winter, even artificial satellites above the surface may not be able to see clearly.
Lin Shu looked at the sky full of artificial lights and fireworks, his mind was empty, and he didn't want to stand up and go back to the room and lie down on the bed.
The body gradually loses temperature.
Lin Shu wondered absentmindedly, if he had been lying here for three or four days without eating or drinking, would he be able to leave in this life?
In that case, wouldn't he have to face Qin Yuchi after his memory recovered?
Ding
The alarm clock interrupted Lin Shu's thoughts.
Lin Shu let out a long sigh, turned on the screen of the phone, and told Gao Jingge that he was safe on time.
If he knew that he was going to die again, or died, Gao Jingge would not cry until his eyes were red and swollen.
Will Gao Jingge cry?
He didn't seem to have seen Gao Jingge cry.
Lin Shu shrugged, and was about to continue to be in a daze, but someone called.
The number that came in was displayed as an unfamiliar number, but Lin Shu knew who it was, it was the bodyguard he sent by Tao Yutian's side.
Lin Shu answered the phone, "Hello? What's the matter?"
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Tao returned home the day before yesterday and flew to Fengguo early yesterday morning. We then found his psychological treatment report in Fengguo." The bodyguard said.
"What disease?" Lin Shu frowned and asked.
"Compulsive mental disorder, specifically manifested as compulsive washing, which is commonly known as cleanliness."
The author has something to say:
Qin Yuchi: Get out of the car and calm down, but the car ran away, the phone was gone, and friends were deleted [dumbfounded]
