The night is as dark as ink, and the moonlight shines quietly in the cypress forest.
Shen Ruojing raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him.
Chu Cichen's originally tense body was slowly relaxing. His phoenix eyes were as deep as the vast starry sky. At this moment, it seemed that thousands of stars were gathering in his eyes.
He asked with a slightly trembling voice:
"518, do you want to see the Northern Lights?"
Shen Ruojing was stunned for a moment, then she was silent for a moment and said, "I want to."
“Do you want to see the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt?”
"think."
“Do you want to see Babylon Skypark?”
"think."
“Do you want to see the blue flames when Mount Uizhen erupts?”
"think."
“Do you want to go on an adventure and chase the waves in the waters of Hoi Mong Kok?”
"think."
The man's voice went from nervous and trembling to gradually calming down, and his eyes changed from affectionate to focused. He said word by word: "I want to go with you, I want to have you accompanying me all the way around the world, and I want to be by your side for the rest of my life. It starts with a heartbeat and ends with a white head. Are you willing?"
Shen Ruojing didn't understand why he suddenly confessed again, and she didn't know what to say.
Chu Cichen didn't wait for her answer. After saying this, he smiled brightly: "These are the words I prepared to confess to you back then. I practiced them many times in front of the mirror, but unfortunately I didn't use them in the end."
Shen Ruojing clenched his fists, "Then why are you saying it now?"
Chu Cichen looked away from her: "Because I'm afraid that after I tell you the truth, I won't have the chance to say these words."
Shen Ruojing lowered his eyes.
Chu Cichen laughed and said, "I found out the truth back then. Lu Cheng did find out a few witnesses of your love affair with him in China. The aunt in the cafeteria of Jincheng Conservatory of Music was once your date park. As an administrator, she named a few of her colleagues from the past, and I asked Lu Cheng to check them one by one. They said that they had all seen you and him. So your love affair was real. "
He reached out and wanted to touch Shen Ruojing's head.
Shen Ruojing took a step back and avoided it.
Chu Cichen's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he said: "I have always been worried that there is something wrong with your mind or spirit, and you are a imaginary character. Now that I find that it is not your physical problem, I am relieved."
Shen Ruojing stared at him: "Continue talking."
Chu Cichen then added: "I have indeed never returned to China in these years. The brothers and air tickets around me can prove this. I even suspected that something was wrong with me for a time, so I went for a psychiatric evaluation and found that Everything is normal. So, there is no problem with the memory of both of us. Because..."
He paused, not wanting to say the next words.
He had been avoiding Shen Ruojing because he was afraid of what he said next, but at this moment, he could no longer hide it from her. He turned away his head and said slowly: "Because, in the past six months, I have been in love with you. People, not me."
"..."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of wind and falling leaves.
At this moment, Chu Cichen felt as if his heart was being grabbed. He knew that once the truth was told, he would push the woman away with his own hands.
Her tolerance and liking for him during this period were all because she thought he was her lover.
She just said that he is her only one.
But at this moment, this one and only thing was so heartbreaking for him.
Because this one is not him.
Shen Ruojing remained calm and composed. She quietly looked at Chu Cichen's handsome profile: "Who is he?"
"I'm still checking to find out that he was the one who really disappeared that year."
Chu Cichen didn't dare to look into her eyes for fear of seeing something strange in them.
However, Shen Ruojing analyzed rationally: "So, in fact, I was in love with him in China, but abroad, the person I met was you, and I was in love with you two at the same time?"
"Um."
"He is the one who proposes to me, not you."
"Um."
"He is the one who goes on dates with me every weekend and reads to me via voicemail at night, not you."
"……Um."
Shen Ruojing suddenly took a step forward, "Then he was the one who confessed to me back then, not you?"
Chu Cichen clenched his fists: "Yeah."
When he first returned to China, he felt that Shen Ruojing was lying and pestering him every day, but now how much he hoped that the lie was true and that he was the one who accompanied her in China for half a year?
But the truth is so cruel.
He suddenly didn't know how to face her... let alone how she would view him.
This is why he is reluctant and dare not tell the truth.
He is afraid.
He was afraid that she wouldn't love him after knowing the truth.
I'm afraid that she will only treat him as a stranger from now on.
During this period of time, Chu Cichen was worried about gains and losses every day.
When he was in Jincheng, when he learned the truth, his first reaction was to hide it.
Anyway, that person has disappeared, disappeared completely, as if he had never appeared before, so he can pretend that that person is him, and use the excuse of amnesia, or the excuse of unclear memory, to keep Shen Ruojing. It's around.
He even went to the cafeteria aunt and wanted to give her a hush money.
But he went there twice in a row and couldn't do it.
Because he once promised 518 that he would never lie to her in his life.
He could only listen to the canteen aunt's story about how she dated that man back then. The two of them loved walking on the street and walking frequently.
Every time he didn't know what to say, she always listened with a smile.
Later, one time, the boy confessed to the girl.
Because they were far away, they could only see the boy blushing with embarrassment, lowering his head and not knowing what he said. A group of staff secretly stood in the lounge of the park, looking into the distance through the glass.
The girl nodded and they all laughed.
The two were really made for each other and were called a pair of beautiful people by the staff in the park.
The more he heard about their past, the more Chu Cichen felt like an outsider.
How happy they were, the more Chu Cichen felt how sad he was.
The girl he longs for has already agreed to him before she confesses her love.
He originally thought that the two of them were in love and had secret crushes on each other. He only took the initiative and she broke through the window paper. But it turned out that they were wrong people from beginning to end.
Chu Cichen lowered his head in disappointment.
He didn't know if he still had a chance, but he was unwilling to let go. He looked at Shen Ruojing and asked, "Jingjing, do you think I can continue to pursue you?"
Shen Ruojing said nothing and still stared at him.
Chu Cichen's heart sank little by little...
Just when he thought Shen Ruojing would not agree to him, the girl suddenly spoke: "If you are not him, then why did your confession be exactly the same as his confession?"
Chu Cichen was startled and raised his head: "What did you say?"
