Chapter 567: Chapter 379: Can You Turn Back and Look at Me?_2 Chen Juncai noticed something was off and didn't ask further. The two of them walked on in silence.
Chen Juncai's phone rang again. It was the sunregistered number. He frowned slightly. This time, he hung up directly and turned off his phone.
"Is it a friend?" asked Liang Qiaoqiao.
"Not sure. I'll call back and ask when we get down the mountain!" Liang Qiaoqiao was puzzled, but she also did not want to pry any further.
Just then, Liang Qiaoqiao's phone rang.
She reached for her phone, hesitated slightly, it was also a strange number. The number appeared to be from the sperson who'd just called Chen Juncai.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChen Juncai's face changed abruptly. Liang Qiaoqiao was puzzled, "Could it be the makeup artist or stylist's number, urging us to hurry up?" As she prepared to answer the call, Chen Juncai quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't pick it up!" Liang Qiaoqiao froze, looking at Chen Juncai with confusion. "Why not? You refuse to answer it, and you won't letanswer it?" Chen Juncai managed to compose his face before saying, "You were the one who said that before we leave, we can't answer any calls. I've done my part, now you have to do yours!" "That wasn't a strict rule, and there was no coercion!" Liang Qiaoqiao spoke and then noticed that the snumber was still flashing. She touched her lips slightly and said, "But seeing how serious you are, it makesfeel a bit guilty. Fine, I won't answer!" Having said that, she put her phone back into her pocket.
As she lifted her head, she felt a hand slide towards her hair. As the man leaned closer to her, she wanted to dodge him but heard the man's voice call her softly, "Qiaoqiao..." She paused. The man's hand had already held her waist. Subconsciously, she wanted to push him away. As she looked up, she saw the passion in his eyes and her heart trembled slightly.
"Qiaoqiao, we're getting engaged in three hours. Under these circumstances, will you still reject me?" Chen Juncai spoke, his voice sounded sad.
"..." Before she could finish her sentence, the man's kiss consumed her. Liang Qiaoqiao gave a slight jerk as she felt the man's grip on her waist tighten suddenly.
In fact, even under these circumstances, she could have easily pushed him away, but words lingered in her mind from what Chen Juncai had just said.
In three hours, they will be engaged. In three more hours, this man will be her fiancé, the man who will accompany her through the long years to come...
Why should she push him away in this case? What reason does she have to reject him? Her eyes stung slightly, a dull ache throbbed at the bottom of her heart. Her mind was a field of noise, but in the end, she held back and did not push away the man who was kissing her.
At Yunshan Cemetery, Mo Yan would cto visit, almost every week. Unwilling for Xiaoyue to feel lonely here alone.
He knew how lonely she could get.
Because he knew, he was even more compassionate and loving towards her! After walking for about five minutes, he unconsciously quickened his steps. Not far ahead, just around a bend, there was a small bamboo grove. Right past the grove was Xiaoyue's tomb- it was very close.
Every time, when he walked past the small bamboo grove, he would instinctively feel a chill, or warmth.
The chill was because he was empathizing with Xiaoyue's loneliness, and warmth because Xiaoyue was right around the corner, and he was about to see her! What about now? How should he describe the current situation? Is it warm or cold? Just moments ago, as he had just walked through the bamboo forest, he was taken by surprise when a couple appeared in his sight, kissing passionately. In the backdrop of a lush green bamboo forest, they appeared as picturesque as a scene from a fairy tale.
Mo Yan stopped in his tracks, unable to move forward. In his hands were two desserts Xiaoyue loved. One of them was for Liang Qiaoqiao.
But at this moment, everything seemed so ironic.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had known all along that even if she went missing for a while, she would be with Chen Juncai. So what was the point of him coming here supposedly looking for her? He knew that she was going to get engaged to Chen Juncai today. He had promised her man that she would be very happy in the future. What did his so-called concern count for? He knew he couldn't give this woman, Liang Qiaoqiao, happiness. His heart made the clear choice to honor Xiaoyue for a lifetime. What did his current heartache count for? He suddenly remembered a sentence Lu Yinchu once said to him: "Mo Yan, you've changed a lot in the past two years." Has he changed a lot? Where has he changed? Life has been so tranquil without any waves. He hasn't moved on, his life had terminated the day Xiaoyue left. So what has changed? Things that he once couldn't figure out now becclear in this moment.
From two years ago, when he returned to the private room and saw Liang Qiaoqiao crying hysterically on the table, without knowing it, he had somehow slowly started paying attention to this woman called Liang Qiaoqiao.
Because at that time, he recalled very Xiaoyue once saying, "Qiaoqiao is a very brave girl. Her mother died very early, but she smiles every day and lives life positively. I want to learn from Qiaoqiao!"
Indeed, even though his memories were fragmentary, and his recollections of Liang Qiaoqiao were inless, he still remembered that eveless, Liang Qiaoqiao, though vague in his memories, always seemed to be smiling. Gently, heartily, uninhibitedly, she had all kinds of smiles.
She never cried.
So why was she crying now? And why was she crying so sadly? Was she crying for Xiaoyue, or for him? If it was for him, why? Then, he encountered the woman's confession over the phone, so suddenly.
He still remembered what she said that day: --Mo Yan, can you give up on Xiaoyue and letaccompany you? --Even if you can't let go, can you allowto stand where Xiaoyue once stood, looking at you? --Mo Yan, my nis Liang Qiaoqiao, can you turn around and look at me?
