Chapter 72 "The Lost Bride" ([-])
Unexpectedly, I slept very well that night, and I didn't have any nightmares. Looking back now, maybe the conversation with Li last night was just a dream.

After I came to the company, I immediately went to Li's department, and wanted to ask him about some details I recalled last night, but he didn't seem to come to work. I asked other colleagues, and I heard that he was sick and asked for leave.

The work schedule of the day is very tight, and there is almost no free time to think about other things.The program design at hand is estimated to be completed in two or three days, because the manager promised that there will be a half-month paid vacation after the completion of this case, so I worked hard every day until late at night this week.

I hit the last carriage return for today's work, stretched my waist, and squinted at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. It was almost [-]:[-], and the other colleagues had already gone home. I was already in a warm dreamland, and I couldn't help but feel a little sleepy thinking of this, so I turned off the computer and packed up my things to go home.

"You were the last one to leave today again. It seems that I'm going to suggest that your manager raise your salary..." the security guard at the entrance of the building said jokingly.I smiled and nodded to him goodbye.

Just when I came outside, a gust of cold wind penetrated from my collar into my clothes like a nimble mouse, and I shivered. What a similar scene, yes, just like last night like that.I tugged on the collar of my clothes and walked towards the entrance of the subway.

Along the way, the scene of the conversation with Li at the bar last night and the scene of the accident a month ago flashed in my mind one after another.I am an absolute atheist, but such a bizarre thing happened around me, I must figure it out and find a reasonable explanation.

The last subway departs at [-]:[-], and arrives at this station at around [-]:[-].The car arrived on time, and as soon as I stepped into the car, I began to habitually look at that corner, and there was no one there, and I felt a sense of relief in my heart, mixed with some disappointment.

I saw her at the same time and place for a week, why didn't she show up today?No, I didn't take the subway last night because I was going to the bar. Maybe she was gone yesterday, or is this just a hallucination caused by my nervousness caused by work fatigue all the time?I lowered my head and began to fall into a state of contemplation.

"Sir..." A burst of fragrance interrupted my contemplation and gave me a big jump.I raised my head abruptly, and it turned out to be the beautiful face that I longed to see but was afraid to see. The difference from the last time was that this time there was a little rosiness on the face.

"Sir..." She saw that I just looked at her obsessively without responding, so she called out again.

"Is something wrong?" I hurriedly looked away from her face and replied with a little embarrassment.

"Nothing, do you take this subway at this time every day?"

"About it? What's the matter?"

"I just find it strange, are you waiting for someone again?"

"No, I'm going home by this bus..."

"Oh, I've been waiting for my boyfriend here every day for a week, but I haven't waited. I want to ask if you've seen him?"

Hearing this, a chill spread all over my body, "I haven't seen it, and I guess I will never see it..."

"..." Hearing this, she was a little taken aback, then moved her lips, but said nothing.

"Isn't your boyfriend dead? How did you meet him? Unless you have already..." At this point, I realized my gaffe, and quickly shut my mouth.Although this is a constant question in my heart, facing such an infatuated weak girl, no matter if she is a human or a ghost, I don't want to hurt her already fragile nerves anymore.

"Indeed...he is dead...I...will never see him again..." the girl murmured as if talking to herself.At this time, the car arrived at the next stop, the door opened, and the girl turned around and got out of the car as if sleepwalking.

Looking at the distant white figure through the glass car window, an inexplicable sadness rose in my heart.Immediately afterwards, the question buried in the bottom of my heart by the sudden sadness just now struggled out again.

I have a premonition that I will never see her again. Tonight may be the last chance to solve the doubts in my heart. Yes, this is the only chance! !

Soon, the car arrived at the stop again, the door opened again, and I rushed out of the car...
