Chapter 42

    The sky was completely dark. There was a northwest wind blowing at night, and there was some coldness.

    The car was parked in the parking lot. The driver hadn't returned the key to him, but Du Chen couldn't wait to get out of the car.

    The chauffeur sitting in the driver's seat suddenly felt a little dazed.

    Xiangshan Cemetery has a long staircase from the bottom. After all, this cemetery is built on the mountain. If you ignore it is a cemetery, there are layers of red leaves in late autumn every year, which is a good place for autumn.

    On weekdays, he walked slowly on the mountain road for more than 20 minutes, but Chen Du only walked for seven or eight minutes.

    There was hot sweat on his back, and when he stopped, the night wind blew and it was still a little cold.

    Fortunately, it is not a lonely tomb in the wilderness, and there are street lights on all the way.

    Du Chen finally met Ruan Yu.

    In front of the puppy's gravestone.

    Next to it are the tombstones of Ruan Yu's father and mother.

    Ruan Yu stands upright, someone like him who has been taught etiquette since childhood, stands upright whenever he is.

    Just head down deeply. There was also a bouquet of flowers in his arms. Also in front of the tombstone. They are placed in order, with one flower in front of a tomb.

    It is a white daisy flower. The light covered it with a warm yellow.

    This reminded Du Chen of many bad memories.

    At that moment, it was as if his heart received an electric shock, and the pain was a little numb.

    He took three or two steps forward. He took the person into his arms.

    "It's winter, why don't you take me with you when you come to sweep the grave? I'm still wearing this." He held Ruan Yu's hand, which was not unexpectedly cold. He lowered his head and took two breaths of heat before unbuttoning his jacket. The button, and the hand and the person were put into his arms.

    It's just that even Chen Du himself didn't realize it, his fingertips trembled.

    Chen Du's chest was warm. This is probably the case with young people, and he can hear his heartbeat through several layers of clothing.

    Ruan Yu's face was pale. The sight travels around. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

    Du Chen looked at his face with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but he didn't feel much peace in his heart.

    It's just his restlessness that doesn't keep things moving in the right direction. Therefore, Du Chen is very calm now.

    He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and asked with a smile, "Why don't you speak?"

    It was as if nothing had happened.

    He didn't dare to pierce that layer of fig leaf even if he saw through it but didn't say it through.

    After a long time, Ruan Yu slowly answered, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood."

    It's enough to be willing to speak.

    Du Chen made persistent efforts. He rubbed Ruan Yu's hair and continued to ask, "It's cold outside, shall we go home first?"

    His tone was cautious, but full of hope.

    Du Chen said, "Let's see them again when the weather is better and the sun is out. I don't think our parents want you to freeze, do you?"

    Ruan Yu suddenly raised her head and glanced at him.

    For no other reason, he just felt a little surprised. In my memory, except for the day of the wedding ceremony, Du Chen changed his name to call his father and mother twice, and the rest of the time he called his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

    In fact, there are some things that he himself is vague, but there is no way to change one thing.

    He remembered it all.

    Begins hospitalization at the age of eighteen.

    At the age of twenty-eight, the divorce with Chen Du ended.

    His birthday and wedding day are on the same day.

    In the third year of marriage, the marriage has already existed in name only, and the happy memories of the past are like a slap in the face.

    Ruan Yu doubted herself for a long time. He thought a lot about whether he was too arrogant and had a bad temper; whether he was not sensible enough and not as considerate as others.

    But in the end, even if he smoothed out all his edges and corners, he would not be able to get Chen Du's favor.

    So in the end, I can only admit one thing.

    It's just that he doesn't love you anymore.

    You can love without a reason, but you can find many excuses for not loving. He gave Chen Du a lot of excuses. In the end, I found this self-deception to be a bit ridiculous.

    Ruan Yu originally wanted to get a divorce, but living like this was torture anyway, but she was persuaded by her parents.

    Ruan Zheng also said that Du Chen is also busy with work, and the company is on the rise. As his partner, he should not be dragging his feet at this time.

    Of course, their eyes could see the misfortune of their son, but they were blinded by the money-making speed of Chen Du's money-printing machine.

    Commercial marriages are not always like this. When you talk about love or not, you are just asking for troubles, why bother?

    What depression? How old are you, how can you still worry about it? Well, let your mother accompany you on a trip abroad to buy something, and you can spend the money as you like. Buy whatever you want.

    So the divorce was accidentally delayed again and again, and two people died in a car accident.

    And he never had the strength to get a divorce.

    His illness got worse.

    Except for dogs. Chen Du became his only bond in this world.

    He is still young, but his eyes and actions are already a little old. One day he was sitting on the balcony with his dog in his arms and watching the sun slowly set in the center, thinking, why didn't he take him on that tour.

    Now the dog is dead. Married and divorced. One more child.

    He wasn't dead, but it was as if he had already died once.

    Ruan Yu was held in Du Chen's arms, but she only felt tired.

    He heard Du Chen speak, and said a lot, but Ruan Yu only heard one sentence clearly.

    Oh, Du Chen said, go home.

    "...Okay." Ruan Yu said expressionlessly, leaning her head against his chest.

    ***

    When I got down the mountain, I didn't expect the driver to still be there.

    The driver huddled and guarded the car for half an hour, took selfies secretly and took selfies several times, and his mobile phone was about to run out of power, and now his eyes are full of accusations.

    "Mr. Chen, the car key." He gave the car key to Du Chen.

    Did not expect ah. The driver glanced at the hands that the two were holding, thinking about it, even if he eats cold wind, he also needs to eat dog food.

    Annoy me too.

    Du Chen said thank you, and thought for a while that he could transfer more money when checking out the APP.

    Ruan Yu sat in the co-pilot's seat.

    Chen Du touched the steering wheel and turned his head to look at him, but what he saw was a face with no temperature, like a dummy.

    Du Chen retracted his gaze and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

    If it was Ruan Yu from before, he would probably have happily opened his mouth to announce a slip of the menu. It's like a stand-up comedy.

    But now, Ruan Yu just turned her head and looked out the window.

    Said: "It's all right."

    Chen Du brought the man back. The next day, I really found two bodyguards, but they didn't dare to tell Ruan Yu that they wanted to quietly arrange Changfeng through Fu Xun.

    Fu Xun almost dropped his phone in anger.

    "Fuck you, are you putting a commercial espionage on me?"

    Chen Du frowned and asked, "With the scale of Changfeng, do you want me to arrange a commercial espionage?"

    "..." I rely on it. Honestly, that's not what you said.

    Chen Du patiently continued to explain to him: "I'm worried about Ruan Yu's accident."

    Fu Xun said, "Okay, then you can answer me a few questions first. First, do you agree with Ruan Yu? Second, these two people Do you want to listen to you or Ruan Yu? Third, tell your own conscience, is it protection or surveillance?"

    Fu Xun found out about the day after Ruan Yu came to work.

    Ruan Yu remembered. He didn't know how much Ruan Yu remembered, but after thinking about it, Ruan Yu was very taciturn, but he acted a lot more quickly and steadily.

    Even during the lunch break, I probably won't hear him chatting with me anymore.

    Chen Du was speechless about Fu Xun's question.

    So it was put on hold.

    Everything is the same as usual, but getting along is different.

    The fireworks in the house quickly dissipated, and it was as cold as a block of ice.

    Du Chen carefully maintained a fragile balance.

    He suddenly understood, what Ruan Yu felt when he stayed at home.

    Even breathing felt labored.

    They say that dripping water can penetrate stone.

    They also said that they are most afraid of being stalked and moved by themselves.

    They say persistence is victory.

    They also say that taking a step back will open up the world.

    Du Chen didn't know what to do, or what else to do.

    He didn't even dare to ask Ruan Yu what he thought.

    Du Chen still prepares hot milk for Ruan Yu.

    They still slept in the same bed. Occasionally, Du Chen will also recite the pregnancy recipes he saw on the Internet or in the circle of friends.

    Ruan Yu still smiled at him. Even when he laughed, the curvature of the corners of his eyes did not change.

    In the evening, Du Chen warmed him a glass of milk. The milk was airlifted from New Zealand after being processed. Although he knew that domestic milk and foreign milk were both milk, it was impossible that there would be any qualitative change just because they came from New Zealand, but Du Chen still did. I want to give Ruan Yu the best care.

    Treat it like someone else has more money.

    Ruan Yu raised her head and drank in one breath. When she put down the cup, there was a circle of milk stains on her face.

    Du Chen looked at the white liquid around the corner of his mouth and smiled and wanted to wipe it off for him.

    Ruan Yu turned her head sideways at that moment and avoided it subconsciously.

    So Chen Du's raised hand froze in midair.

    Ruan Yu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were a little dazed and flustered.

    He whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

    Du Chen put down his arms and replied nonchalantly: "What did you say sorry to me? It's getting late, go to bed."

    Ruan Yu said ok and turned Head into the bathroom to wash up.

    Du Chen took the milk cup to wash it clean, turned off the tap, and couldn't help wiping his face with cold water.

    His eyes were a little red.

    The feeling of powerlessness and frustration that he never had before almost defeated him, and he even wanted to cry.

    before that. That kind of sissy behavior has always been scorned by him. If it's not hard to restrain, who wants to cry.

    Du Chen began to lose sleep again. And he found that Ruan Yu was too. Same bed, different dreams, nothing more than that.

    Unbeknownst to Du Chen, Ruan Yu's sleeping state was unprecedentedly quiet until one night, Ruan Yu quietly turned to his side.

    The pose of the two became face-to-face. Du Chen closed his eyes and didn't move.

    After a long time, a pair of hands reached over and traced his eyebrows with his fingertips.

    Du Chen grabbed his wrist and opened his eyes, only to find that Ruan Yu was just staring at him, tears streaming down his face.

    So his joy suddenly cooled down like a basin of water had been poured.

    Du Chen asked, "Ruan Yu?"

    Ruan Yu withdrew her hand, then turned over and turned her back to him.

    no answer.

    When I woke up the next day, it was another Saturday.

    Last Saturday, they were still discussing getting married.

    Ruan Yu stared at the ceiling for a long time. He thought about it a lot, but he didn't think about anything.

    Finally, he tugged at Du Chen's sleeve.

    Du Chen turned around and looked at his face so close at hand, he was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

    It was the first time Ruan Yu took the initiative in so many days.

    The surprise on his face was beyond words.

    Ruan Yu paused for a long time, and finally said: "...take me to the doctor?"

    In fact, what he wanted to say was another sentence.

    Let's get divorced.

    It was just that the words came to his lips, looking at Du Chen's expression, but he couldn't say it.
