Licheng Twilight

Chapter 52

Mother Su asked Ye Tianche to come down for dinner. During the dinner, Lin Xichen and Ding Chuyi deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, which wasn't too embarrassing.

Only Ye Tianche sat quietly opposite Mu Mu, neither eating nor talking, just looking at her all the time.

Mu Mu ate with her eyes downcast, and only occasionally turned her head to whisper a few words to Roy who was sitting beside her, seemingly not noticing Ye Tianche's abnormality.

Roy is a cheerful boy, and he quickly got involved in the topic. His somewhat weird Mandarin made everyone at the table laugh.Mu Mu also pursed her lips and smiled, and conveniently put the shaved fish bones on the plate into his bowl.

He came to China for the first time, and suddenly had so many relatives and friends. Mu Mu was afraid that he would feel dependent on others, so she tried her best to take care of his feelings.

She made an unintentional and natural movement, but when Ye Tianche saw it, her body suddenly froze, and the indelible sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden even if she wanted to.

Once upon a time, she took care of him so carefully, peeling lobsters for him, picking fish bones for him, knitting hats for him, knitting sweaters for him, taking care of his food and daily life, and waiting for him. Love him humblely, don't want to be free, give up self-esteem, live simply for him, just to stay by his side.But what he gave her in return was ruthless hurt and rejection, giving her hope again and again and disappointing her, because he couldn't let go of her warmth and selfishly kept her by his side and let her approach without limit. When she wanted to take another step, he cruelly pushed her away and drew a clear line without mercy.

Such a cycle goes on and on, even if it is her, she will feel tired one day.

Roy smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a lobster and put it in her bowl.Mu Mu moved the chopsticks in some embarrassment, but before she could take the next move, the person opposite had already stretched out her hand across the table and took away her bowl.

"She is allergic to seafood, so she can't eat this." His tone was blunt and cold, with almost imperceptible anger.

"Sorry, can I switch places with you?" he said suddenly, but to Roy.

Although Roy was a little strange, he agreed very simply.

Lin Xichen and Ding Chuyi looked at Ye Tianche lowered his eyes and took the plate and changed places with Roy. They were a little worried that he would make some drastic moves, and they exchanged a look to secretly pay attention to his emotions.

On the other hand, Mu Mu didn't have much expression on her face, she just sipped the soup calmly.

Ye Tianche wiped his hands with a wet towel, nervously picked up a lobster from the plate and began to peel it. His movements were clumsy, obviously he had never done these things before, and at the end of the peeling, what was left on the plate was torn A messy lobster, horrible to look at.

"Originally, I didn't plan to make lobsters. Everyone in the room is allergic, but it happened that a friend sent a few pairs of fresh and good shrimps, so I made it for you to try. By the way, Xiao Che didn't like this very much before. Is it?" Mother Su explained with a smile.

Ye Tianche smiled perfunctorily and didn't speak.

In fact, what he likes is never lobster or fish, he just likes to see her busy for him, to see how she sits quietly beside him and puts her heart into these little things.She is dexterous, whether it's peeling shrimp or picking fish bones, she can do it quickly and well. Ye Tianche looked at the torn lobster on the plate and smiled wryly. After such a long time, he was really spoiled by her.

spoiled?He suddenly thought of something, inexplicably relieved, and laughed.

Everyone else was puzzled by his inexplicable smile, so he opened his mouth and led the topic elsewhere in a few words.He sat next to Mu Mu, less than ten centimeters away, and would touch his arm from time to time. Mu Mu dodged a little, and subconsciously moved his body to the other side.He was listening to them talking with a smile. He didn't look at her, but he stretched out his hand to gently hold her arm, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't back away, be careful of falling."

Mu Mu looked down, only to realize that he had already retreated to the edge of the stool, there was no way to retreat, and it would be strange to move any more.

She glanced at the arm he put on her hand, and when she was about to break free, he had already lifted it up, picked up the chopsticks and served her the dish, the gesture was intimate, but naturally there was no ambiguity.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to notice the two of them. He occasionally joined in and said a few words. Most of the time, he listened carefully and sipped the soup casually, but he always stretched out his chopsticks at the most appropriate time. He helped her pick up some food, and returned to the topic without even looking at her.

Having been with her for so long, how could Ye Tianche not know her habits, almost as long as she moved her eyes, he would know what she wanted to do.

Mu Mu is obviously not used to his behavior, but he can't refute his face in front of everyone, and his behavior is not too much, so he decided to obediently be an invisible person, not wanting to cause trouble.

After the meal was over, she was visibly relieved.Just when she was about to go back to her room to rest, Ye Tianche held her back, "Let's talk."

Mu Mu broke free from his hand without a trace, took a step back, and kept smiling as much as possible, "I'm sorry, maybe I really knew you before, but I don't think it should be a pleasant memory, now I don't remember it, and I don't want to When I think about it again, I don’t think there is anything else to talk about between us.” She turned around, leaning on the stairs to use her strength to go upstairs, her voice was a little tired, “I’m tired, I want to rest, goodbye.”

With a sudden lightening of his body, he hugged her up just like that, with his face still light and expressionless, "I'll send you up."

Mu Mu struggled, and pushed him hard with both hands between the two of them, but he couldn't push him no matter what, he ignored her resistance and let her struggle in his arms with both hands and feet, and only reminded softly, "Don't move around!" , beware of hurting your feet."

Knowing that it was useless, she calmed down and let him carry her upstairs and put her on the bed. She watched him sit on the floor next to the bed, turned over and turned to the other side, and said in a very cold voice, "Thank you for sending her to the other side." I'm going upstairs, you can go."

There was no response for a long time, she couldn't help turning her head, and seeing him looking at her, she turned over and sat up, and said impatiently, "What exactly do you want?"

But he suddenly laughed, and said in a tone like stating the facts, "Mumu, you lost your temper with me."

"So what?"

"You've never lost your temper with me before," he explained.

"Really? That can only mean that I have changed."

"Mumu," he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her face, forcing her to look directly into his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You really don't remember me?"

Mu Mu looked at the girl in his eyes, her heart was so calm that she couldn't make any more waves. After a while, she heard her own voice, "Yes."

His eyes quickly dimmed, and he lowered his eyelids and retreated a little. Although this result was expected, he still felt heartache when he heard it with his own ears.

Mu Mu turned her face away, "I am no longer who I was four years ago, since I have forgotten you, you should forget me too."

"You are still you, nothing different."

"Don't you understand? I might have liked you four years ago, but now, I don't. That's the difference."

Ye Tianche's figure froze, and when he raised his head again, there was no extra expression on his face. He stood up, supported her shoulders and let her lie down, and covered her carefully with the quilt, and said in a surprisingly gentle voice, "It's okay, forget about it." Just forget about it." He stroked her hair, as if promising her or predicting the future, "No matter how many times, I will make you fall in love with me again."

Mu Mu rested at home for a week, and her foot injury has almost healed.She didn't want to stay idle at home, so she quickly found a job in a central hospital in Licheng, but the hospital was a bit far away from her home. After discussing with Mother Su, Mu Mu decided to rent a house near there first.

Roy didn't want to go too far, he has always been interested in fashion design, Licheng's A University design school is not bad, so Mu Mu followed him and asked him to study in the local university.

After that day, Ye Tianche disappeared for half a month.

Mu Mu can often see him, show guest, endorsement commercial, almost every corner of this city has his shadow, always elegant and calm, high above, dazzling and piercing. His eyes hurt, as if just standing It's so dazzling there that people can't look directly at it.

The once flamboyant young man, after years of precipitation, finally became a personable, handsome and indifferent man.He no longer lies on the sofa and keeps changing channels, no longer yells loudly in the street with his hips akimbo, no longer always has a proud and supercilious sneer, he is now sitting quietly in front of the camera, The corners of his mouth habitually raised fifteen degrees, his posture was elegant, his words were cautious, he buried all his emotions in his bottomless eyes, and he was able to handle difficult questions from reporters with ease.Except for some habitual small movements, there is no trace of the boy back then.

Whose heart, who wanders alone

Whose love grows quietly inadvertently
Memories gone, never to be found again

I can only fly forward, fly over thousands of mountains and rivers

whose heart, who grieves alone

Whose love touches the atrium after it is lost
you just keep chasing forward
regret the beauty you missed

Dislocation of time, who will remember who

you just love
started after parting
Who disappears and leaves, who stays where
. . . . . .

He was still him, and she was still her, the only difference was that she stayed where she was and refused to leave, while he walked forward step by step, and finally reached a high place that she couldn't touch.

Four years ago when she was by his side, as long as he nodded, she was still standing closest to him today, but he refused, and the two just passed by.But now, there is not only four years between them, but also their respective careers and everything they have to bear.

Some things, if you miss the opportunity and let go, you will lose it for a lifetime, and you will never get it back.
