Ruoxi listened quietly, waiting for Xu Yao without speaking.
After a long time, he continued: "I am from Inner Mongolia. There is a broader sky there than here."
Speaking of Inner Mongolia, Ruoxi thought of a prairie where the blue sky met the grassland, where there were yurts and roasted lamb legs.
Ruoxi thought about it, she always thought that Mongolians were very tough and cold, but she didn't expect Xu Yao to be so handsome and gentle.
"My hometown also has beautiful grasslands, delicious milk tea, and delicious hand-grilled meat. During grand festivals, men wrestle and women sing and dance." He said softly, with an erratic smile:
"It was a paradise there, but I left!"
"You can go back, just stay in heaven for a while, and then come back." Ruoxi looked at Xu Yao's face, and she was scared for some reason.
Xu Yao finally turned his head and looked at Ruoxi with dark eyes, as if looking at something he couldn't let go of: "Yes, I do want to go back, to that paradise."
Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, looking at the empty look in the room and Xu Yao's helpless look, she asked helplessly: "When are you leaving?"
"tonight!"
Ruoxi's expression changed: "Then when will you come back?"
Xu Yao smiled, with gloomy eyes: "I won't come back!"
In fact, when Ruoxi saw the empty house, she knew what happened to Xu Yao. Now that she heard him say that, she felt that it was indeed the case!
Ruoxi didn't ask why, because compared to the paradise in Inner Mongolia, this place was like hell. Who would abandon the beautiful paradise and enter hell?
Ruoxi was silent and didn't know how to speak for a moment. She was not sad but reluctant to give up because Xu Yao was her only friend.
Now he is leaving too!
Xu Yao saw Ruoxi's disappointment and gave her a cigarette. Ruoxi didn't take it. She only smokes when she is lonely, but with Xu Yao in front of her, she is not lonely.
"Don't run here anymore, I've already canceled the lease." Xu Yao touched Ruoxi's hair distressedly, smiling softly with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He quickly stopped talking, and Ruoxi felt very sad.
Xu Yao is gone, and he will be gone in the future. When he is sad in the future, who can comfort her and feel sorry for him?
Ruoxi took a breath and showed an awkward smile, but the smile was very forced and full of broken beauty. "Then can I go find you?"
"Of course, come and see me when you have time." Xu Yao's body trembled, and he closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something, but he still endured: "I will wait for you until the end of the world!"
Ruoxi's heart clenched and she hugged the man who had given him countless comforts.
He still smelled like sunshine. Ruoxi said this was the last time, the last time she indulged herself so loudly, the last time she cried in his arms!
"Xu Yao, happiness, you must be extremely happy!" When you leave hell, I bless you and hope you live happily in heaven!
Xu Yao hugged Ruoxi back, feeling equally profound. Ruoxi didn't know what his expression was like at the moment. But she could feel his deep trembling, as if his whole body was trembling!
"Fool, why aren't you happy? Leaving here is the happiness of my life. Now that I can finally leave, I will definitely be happy!"
On that day, they hugged each other and breathed each other's air. They said a lot of things, as if they wanted to tell them all in their lives.
