Chapter 27

Chapter 27

It was midnight now, but Ruan Yu was going up the mountain.

Du Chen had a feeling of unease in his heart and his tone couldn't help but have a hint of panic: "What do you want to do?"

The night was silent and only the wind answered him.

Ruan Yu finally climbed to the top of the mountain, panting. It's winter now and it snowed a few days ago. The down jacket he was wearing was thin but he was sweating all over.

The ground was full of mud and wet and cold dew but Ruan Yu didn't care, he sat down.

The cold wind whistled and soon, the heat from climbing the mountain was taken away. Ruan Yu's face and nose were frozen red, like a rabbit.

From here, you can see thousands of lights.

Du Chen stood behind him, bent down and asked him, his voice trembling a little: "It's cold at night, let's go back, shall we?"

Ruan Yu rubbed his hands and exhaled a breath of heat.

He frowned, smiled and sighed: "It's so beautiful."

There are so many beautiful things in this world.

The aurora in Alaska, the snow in Siberia, the beaches in Hawaii...

He hasn't actually experienced it yet.

But Ruan Yu didn't care much anymore. It is enough for him to have the lights in front of him and the stars above his head, even if the moon and stars are rare.

The sky is getting brighter.

Ruan Yu checked it, and today it will be a sunny day, there is no smog and you can see the sunrise.

He turned on the phone.

There was no one in Ruan Yu's WeChat account. The two most frequently contacted people have been buried in the ground.

But he still wanted to say goodbye to them.

The first thing he opened was the chat box with his dad.

Ruan Yu said to him, "I went to see you and  mother a few days ago and I hated you to death. I had to argue that I would drive to Tibet by myself, it hurt my mother."

Ruan Yu: But I miss you so much.

Ruan Yu: You didn't like Du Chen at first, you didn't want me to marry him. I also quarreled with you.

Ruan Yu: I wish I had listened to you, dad.

His father would never get back to him. The last circle of friends was three years ago. In the picture, the pure blue sky of Tibet is clear and moving.

Then there is his mother.

"Mom..." There was a dazed look on his face, "If only I were stronger."

"Actually, I'm better than many people. Maybe there are still many people who envy me..."

"But I'm tired. Don't get angry, okay?"

He paused, a little smile appeared on his face: "I love you."

A red light broke through the clouds.

The sun is about to come out.

The last thing Ruan Yu opened was a dialog with Du Chen.

The last chat was recorded in May of this year.

He stayed for a long time until the sun showed most of his face, just like he woke up in a dream.

He entered: "Remember to help me sweep the grave."

But Ruan Yu quickly deleted this sentence.

In the end, he said: "When I was young, thank you for taking care of me for many years. It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

He stood up.

The sky broke and a bird chirped in the distance. Then the crisp chirping sound came one after another.

It's like singing a requiem.

He took two steps forward and suddenly heard Du Chen's voice in his ears.

The voice said, "Ruan Yu-don't!"

His footsteps stopped.

Ruan Yu turned his head, his face that had always been calm or smiling finally flashed a trace of anger.

He said with some resentment: "Can you stop bothering me?"

However, no one was there. The top of the mountain was empty and nothing.

Underfoot is a cloud of mist.

He has nothing.

Ruan Yu said in a low voice, "Okay, don't come to me in your next life."

Du Chen jumped with him.

In the last second, his hand did not pass through the air, but really touched Ruan Yu.

He remembered clearly.

What does it feel like to die?

After extreme fear, finally obtained extreme peace.

....

He suddenly got up from the bed.

At that moment, Du Chen burst into tears with joy, he really couldn't help crying.

Great, it really was just a dream.

...just a dream.

Just as he was thinking so, his phone rang.

The caller shows an unfamiliar number. Du Chen was puzzled for a second, then chose to answer.

The person on the opposite side spoke in a good Beijing accent, he routinely asked, "Is it Mr. Chen Du?"

Chen Du replied, "I am."

"Hello, I'm a policeman from Jingshan Police Station. We found one corpse under Jingshan today..."

Before he could finish his words, Du Chen's phone dropped to the ground.

Chen Du's body was stiff and the hand that held the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

So he stretched out his other hand and pressed his wrist.

The phone hummed again.

Du Chen picked up the phone.

The person on the phone continued: "Mr. Chen, please listen to me. We found the ID card from the deceased. The deceased was Ruan Yu and it was initially determined to be suicide. After verification, the only social relationship is you, please do so as soon as possible. Come to the Public Security Bureau to claim it..."

Du Chen replied calmly, "I don't believe it."

He hung up the phone.

On the desktop of the mobile phone, there is a small red dot with "the number is 1" on WeChat.

He has always blocked group chats and most people will not disturb him on WeChat.

Ruan Yu had sent him a message before.

Instead of opening it, he slammed the phone against the wall.

How could it be true.

All fake, bunch of liars.

The phone is broken but the class still has to go to work.

Du Chen loves his work more than ever and can't wait to sleep in the office. The people below followed him at a high speed, miserable and complained that his boss had taken the wrong medicine.

Until one day, even the assistant looked at him with pity.

Du Chen couldn't help but ask him with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

The secretary said, "I beg your condolences."

The smile on Du Chen's face suddenly solidified.

"What's my condolences?" Du Chen stopped writing and asked in a hurry.

The assistant closed his mouth, "Sorry, I'll go get you a cup of coffee..." He turned to leave.

"Wait-" Chen Du patted the table and stood up, his voice raised a few decibels and asked hoarsely, "What do I mourn?! You say it!"

Raised veins, like an enraged beast.

The assistant was taken aback and almost slipped his hand. He clenched the empty teacup in his hand and lowered his head in a panic.

Chen Du gasped, hr slowly fell back to his chair as if he had been exhausted.

He supported his head with his arms and lowered his head deeply, weakly like a balloon that had been punctured after it had inflated to the extreme.

He asked softly, "...Is it true?"

He didn't point it out but the assistant already understood what he meant.

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I saw it on Weibo."

Du Chen still didn't raise his head, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go out."

The assistant replied "Yes".

When he got to the pantry, he found that basically everyone in the company was talking about it today.

After all, the one who committed suicide...it was their former boss lady.

The news was released by the Conservation Society, it was written with tears in his eyes and was extremely sensational, like reading a love story.

It was written that they knew each other when they were young, that they raised their eyebrows when they filed a case, that Du Chen turned ruthless after encroaching on the family property and that Ruan Yu had no choice but to commit suicide...

Finally, at the end of the article, he called for the protection of omega's rights. Let every omega go out of the family, into the society, and self-awakening.

The assistant thought in confusion. He felt that their boss was not as ruthless as it was written on Weibo...

He walked to the door of the office with water in his hand. He wanted to knock on the door but suddenly stopped.

Then, the assistant slowly walked back with the coffee.

He heard crying.

The public opinion was very loud but in the end there was no splash.

Having experienced so many trust crises, medical crises, and strong winds and waves, what is the problem with the boss's personal morality?

Huakang's crisis public relations have always done well.

Even if they strongly condemned it, the drug was used when it was supposed to and the stock price began to rise after a few days of decline.

Neither the police nor Chen Du did not spread the news but when they retrieved Ruan Yu's body, many news media still came.

Ruan Yu was also covered with a white cloth. A newsman tried to lean over to take a photo but was kicked out by Chen Du.

"Go away." He looked disgusted.

Several bodyguards stopped the media.

Du Chen got into the car, raised his hand a few times and finally did not have the courage to lift the white cloth covering it.

It was a sunny day when Ruan Yu was buried.

Du Chen did not invite anyone, just watching people carry the carved tombstones to the grave.

Right next to the dog that Ruan Yu had arranged for him.

There is only a short line on the epitaph.

Ruan Yu
10/16/1989 - 7/12/2018.

Young Life.

If you don't want to see me, don't see me.

I won't bother you with engraving my name on it.

Chen Du began to pray for life and worship Buddha, he believed in what to expect.

The secretary always felt a little embarrassed when he followed him in and out of these occasions.

He couldn't help but bluntly persuaded Chen Du, "Mr. Chen, stop throwing money, they are all liars..."

Governor Chen knew.

But he was thinking-what if?

"I want to go back." Du Chen said firmly with a stubborn expression on his face.

If these are true, what are his previous memories?

He doesn't believe it.

Ruan Yu must still be alive, in another world, he has to go back.

The secretary sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, the secretary did not suffer for long.

The police came in while a master who claimed to be the reincarnation of a living Buddha was doing it.

The police explained to Du Chen, "This is a fraudster we have been chasing for a long time and he specializes in cheating money. Excuse me, how much did you give him? We need to count the amount..."

In fact, the police wanted to say, look at you. You are very smart, how can you still be deceived? It's like being brainwashed.

So Chen Du's dream was shattered again.

He finally started seeing a psychiatrist.

The doctor who made the appointment is an expert in China. A private hospital has been opened, and most people can't get in the line to spend money.

When Du Chen went to the hospital, he was led by a young male doctor who had just graduated from college and is now doing an internship here, the face is full of youth and vitality.

Du Chen stared at his face madly all the way.

The male doctor was extremely shy and when he arrived in front of the consultation room, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen... Shall we add a contact information?"

Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar on the Internet, Du Chen's photo went around on Weibo and was basically stamped with Slag A.

However, he is handsome and rich. The male doctor is also an omega, and sometimes he thinks he doesn't have to work so hard.

He has always been very confident in his face and he has many suitors since childhood.

Chen Du looked at his face.

"You look a lot like him." Of course, it was Ruan Yu when he was young.

The intern was stunned.

However, Du Chen did not talk any more, did not enter the clinic, he turned and left.

"I'm not crazy," he said.

The driver was waiting for him in the parking lot.

Du Chen sat in the car returning home. He raised his hand and put their wedding ring on his ring finger.

I heard that Puji Temple is very spiritual. In the Putuo Mountain of Zhejiang Jing, the goddess of mercy and compassion is worshipped.

Chen Du finally had time in the spring of the second year and brought his assistant to Puji Temple, which was crowded with people.

Over the past year, Du Chen has calmed down a lot. No more insomnia, no more weight loss.

Everything is back on track.

Everyone thought he was okay.

Chen Du knelt before the Buddha statue.

"I have never believed in gods and Buddhas."

"I also know that I am not religious enough, so I only ask for one thing..."

"Let me go back to him."

Then, he kowtowed three times.

...

The assistant on the side listened to his words, only to feel that his boss was stunned.

Can a dead person come back by praying to God and worshipping Buddha?

When Chen Du came out of the temple, he saw Ruan Yu under the bodhi tree on the side.

He just stood there, looking at him and smiled at him.

Du Chen was stunned for a moment, then pushed aside the crowd and ran to the tree like a madman.

There sat an old woman who sold sugar and was taken aback by him.

Where is he?

He suddenly burst into tears.

Chen Du finally accepted the fact that he couldn't go back, and Ruan Yu was gone.

However, every day, no matter where he is, he can always see countless Ruan Yu.

Every Ruan Yu opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"You killed me."

"It's all your fault."

Fine, then blame me.

He began to calmly arrange his own funeral.

He's not crazy.

Just wanted to go with him.

After donating the shares to the country, the news was also broadcast on the news network.

Chen Zhuo called and scolded him with vague words. It is said that he has ruined the efforts of three generations of the Chen family.

Chen Zhuo has had a stroke for three or four years, speaking has always been awkward.

Huakang was nationalized and Chen Du resigned.

He went to the cemetery to sweep the grave. Du Chen paid 200 years of management fees.

Therefore, these four tombs have always been well taken care of.

He was seeing him for the first time and the last time.

Chen Du drove the car to their past home.

I haven't lived here for a long time, so no one cleans it. A thick layer of ashes fell. A house that no one lives in always ages very quickly.

The villa was huge, Du Chen alone cleaned it for four days.

This cage called home has trapped Ruan Yu for seven years.

He slept in bed.

It was rare that he dreamed of Ruan Yu for the first time and that dog.

The dog jumped up and down in the living room and Ruan Yu poured his dark dishes in the kitchen.

Du Chen called out in confusion, "Ruan Yu?"

"Hey, I'm here, what's wrong?" Ruan Yu poked his head out of the kitchen and complained in his tone, "Brother, why did you get up so early today? I haven't even made breakfast yet!"

...

In the middle of the night, he suddenly had a dream about juvenile affairs and he couldn't wake up from the good dream.

But finally woke up. It was four in the morning when he woke up.

When it was about to dawn, Chen Du smoked a cigarette.

The sun was still the same sun Ruan Yu had seen. Compared with the mighty universe, the existence or death of a person seems so insignificant.

At sunrise, a gunshot rang out in the empty villa area.

Then he finally got his wish and went back to the past, lost more than a year of memory and became a dog in Ruan Yu's family.

...

It was by his side.

Until it dies.

Du Chen opened his eyes again.

He reached out and touched his stomach.

The pain of being cut open still lingers in his mind. Obviously nothing happened to his body but Du Chen was still in a cold sweat.

He was stunned. Impatiently, he found his phone under the pillow.

November 7. Two in the morning.

Du Chen called the assistant.

His voice was a little hoarse: "Tell me first, is Ruan Yu still alive...?"

The assistant was indeed a highly paid assistant, even if he was woken up by the boss in the early morning, his attitude was still flawless.

The assistant replied respectfully: "Of course Mr. Ruan is alive, what's wrong?"

A hanging stone suddenly fell to the ground. At that moment, he seemed to be drained of all his strength.

Du Chen forcibly held back his tears and said calmly, "Find someone, go save them."
