The Cliff of Eternal Sun

Chapter 28 The Long Road

Ji Suian's expression turned cold, he stared at Wei Mu for a moment, then turned around and strode away from the courtyard without saying anything.

Wei Mu stood there for a while, and then went out through the gate. Ji Suian's car had already driven a long way outside, and he could only see two small red spots left by the car's taillights.

Wei Mu didn't stay outside the villa that brought him infinite humiliation. He walked down the hill. The excitement that lasted all night had dissipated, and the quiet night invaded the territory again.Without the lights that can be seen everywhere, the moonlight became more obvious, and everything around was covered with a light silver light, including the road extending far away under the feet.

It was only four or five hours away from walking on this road when going up the mountain, but it was as long as half a lifetime. When he came here, all the worries in his heart had not been realized, and everything seemed to be irresistible. direction of development.However, maybe it was because he was too uncomfortable, but he didn't feel much. He just felt empty, empty in his mind, and empty in his heart.

The road connects to the wide provincial road at the foot of the mountain, and the brightly lit villas gradually disappear behind them. There are no lights on the road, and only the moonlight shines thinly on the road ahead.

Wei Mu didn't know how long he had been walking, but Wan Yuqing chased him up from behind.

He pulled over the car, and after getting out of the car, he hurried to catch up with Wei Mu. Because he didn't know what to call him, he coughed in embarrassment and said, "That..."

Wei Mu turned his head and noticed him, and stopped in his tracks.

Wan Yuqing stopped after him, and the two stood facing each other. Wan Yuqing couldn't help being a little startled. When he was in the hall earlier, he noticed Wei Mu's abnormal thinness and paleness. Now the two are so close, Wei Mu had no expression on his face, just looked at him quietly, his eyes were dark and quiet in the night, more like a critically ill patient who was going into a desperate situation.

"I'm Tangtang's boyfriend." Wan Yuqing said.

Wei Mu nodded: "I know."

His voice was a little tired, and the ending blended into the night as if he couldn't catch it. Then he took half a step back, bent down and bowed to Wan Yuqing, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here tonight, I ruined it." Your engagement party."

Wan Yuqing didn't expect him to be like this, so he quickly helped him up, and said, "No, no, you may have misunderstood, I didn't come because of this."

"I came here to apologize for Tangtang and you." Wan Yuqing said very sincerely, "Sometimes she is impulsive when she does things emotionally, and she often regrets it when the energy passes. I don't know What exactly happened between you, but I know Tangtang very well, she is very concerned about what she did to you tonight, she was still crying just now, I hope you don't get angry with her."

Wei Mu should have been surprised by Wan Yuqing's words, but he was so tired that it was difficult for him to feel surprised, so he just shook his head and said, "It's okay."

If he changed his identity, he would not be able to easily forgive someone who made Ji Suian feel sad like him. He could only say that he was in a daze and thought that Ji Tangtang would really help him.

Having said everything that needed to be said, and apologizing to each other, Wan Yuqing still had no intention of leaving.He looked at Wei Mu, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly asked a somewhat strange question: "Have you ever been to Liushan?"

Wei Mu had never heard of this place, he shook his head and said, "No, I haven't been there."

"Ah," Wan Yuqing said hastily, "It's okay, maybe I made a mistake."

Wei Mu didn't get entangled in this issue, he hummed and said to Wan Yuqing: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Wan Yuqing first subconsciously agreed, and watched Wei Mu turn and walk forward as if he had something on his mind. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, followed him again, and said, "Where are you going, I will drive you Bar?"

"No need." Wei Mu didn't look at him again, and calmly refused.

He didn't give Wan Yuqing the gesture to continue the conversation, Wan Yuqing stopped knowingly and didn't follow any further.He stood in place and watched Wei Mu walk away. The road in front of him seemed to be endless, and the surroundings were completely dark, with no light at all. Wei Mu walked alone in it, gradually sinking into the darkness, and even the shadows faded away. come smaller.

Wan Yuqing looked at it, and suddenly a very strange thought arose, what would a person think in his heart if he wanted to walk such a dark and long road?

Aunt Lin arrived at the store after eight o'clock in the morning. When she parked the car, she noticed that the door of the store hadn't been opened yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.In the past, Wei Mu always opened the store early, but now the door is closed, obviously he hasn't come back yet.

Going to an engagement party all night long?Aunt Lin thought about it, opened the two glass doors wide to both sides, and became a little worried, nothing will happen...

Once such a thought came up, it was as if it had taken root and couldn't go down.

The store is very clean, there is nothing to clean. Aunt Lin went around and only found one job that could be done. The items on the opposite shelf hadn't been replaced for a few days.She doesn't care much about how many things are sold in the store, but she has a habit of changing the things on the shelves every few days when she passes by outside, so small things of various styles have stayed on it.

While tidying up, she was thinking about Wei Mu. The girl was engaged, and Wei Mu insisted on going to see it in person. What's so interesting about it? It must have been a torturous night...

Just as she was thinking, she heard movement at the door, turned her head, and saw Wei Mu walking in, still wearing the ill-fitting suit she wore when she went out last night.

Aunt Lin was overjoyed and called him, "Are you back?"

Wei Mu gave a "hmm" and called out, "Aunt Lin."

His voice was soft and the words were short, Aunt Lin didn't hear anything unusual.Wei Mu walked over very quickly, before she had time to see his expression clearly, the model in her hand was taken over.Wei Mu turned his body slightly, reached out and put the model on the top of the shelf, and then naturally lowered his head to pack up other things. Aunt Lin could only see a small part of his profile.

He obviously just came back from outside, but he kept silent about last night's engagement banquet. Aunt Lin was curious, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly. Just as she was hesitating, she lowered her head and saw the shoes on Wei Mu's feet. Can't help but "ah" in surprise.

Wei Mu walked for an untold distance that night, and his shoes were all worn out, the sides were open, covered with dried mud.

Aunt Lin frowned immediately, and she asked Wei Mu, "How did you come back?"

Wei Mu still had one hand on the top of the shelf, but he didn't say anything when he heard Aunt Lin's question.

Aunt Lin's heart suddenly surged with anger, and she raised her voice: "Did you walk back?"

Wei Mu still didn't say a word.

"Wei Mu." Aunt Lin took a deep breath and called him by first and last name, her tone was very serious, "I know you're feeling uncomfortable, but since she's engaged, the past things between you and her, whether it's true or not Whether it’s fake or good or bad, it’s all over, and it’s time for you to come out.”

Wei Mu's posture seemed to be frozen, his hands were holding the top of the shelf, his head was lowered, his arms covered his face, Aunt Lin couldn't see his expression clearly, so she sighed deeply, since the words come to this point When it was done, she stopped hiding and continued: "You are still young, and your life is so long, you will definitely meet someone more suitable in the future, why do you have to do it for this person..."

She couldn't finish her sentence because she saw Wei Mu's tears falling straight down from mid-air and hitting the ground.The tear was so light and small, but she felt it hit so hard, even her heart trembled violently.

Wei Mu's face was hidden behind his own arms, just like that, silently shedding tears.

"You..." Aunt Lin's voice trembled a little.

It was only then that Wei Mu finally opened his mouth, his voice was extremely soft, yet heavy and hoarse as if mixed with blood and tears: "But I don't want to do this."

Aunt Lin's eyes were also red, and she said in a shy voice, "Then there are many things in this world, and there is nothing you can do if you don't think about it."

After she finished speaking, she shivered violently as if she had been stabbed by her own words, then she turned around abruptly, and walked quickly to another shelf.

For the next whole day, the two of them hardly spoke, and they were doing their own things in silence.I don't know why, it's obviously only Wei Mu who is suffering alone, but both of them seem to have experienced a lot of calamity.

Until the evening, Aunt Lin packed up her sweaters, stuffed the small basket into the bottom shelf of the counter, took the keys and went out of the store, and pushed the electric car to go home.

The evening sun was very beautiful, golden, and coated the glass with a gentle and delicate brilliance.Aunt Lin pushed the cart, glanced at the photos pasted on the glass, and then stopped.Under the sun, the people in those photos seemed to be alive, smiling at her.

Aunt Lin looked at it for a long time, almost fascinated, then she turned her head to look at Wei Mu who was standing at the door of the store to see her off, and suddenly asked, "Are you still going out tonight?"

Wei Mu didn't expect her to ask such a question, so he was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Aunt Lin smiled lightly and said, "Then close the door earlier and have a good sleep."
