In the evening, Pan Qiaomu still came back very late, smelling of cigarettes and alcohol after socializing.
Opening the door, there was still a dim light in the living room.
Pan Qiaomu raised his eyes and saw Chen Jiaxian sitting on the sofa reading.
She almost read all the books in his house.
Pan Qiaomu scolded: "I want you to go to bed early, what are you waiting for me to do?"
Chen Jiaxian tilted her head.
She looked at him: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Pan Qiaomu asked curiously: "What should I say?" He sat down next to her very gently, stretched out his arms to put her in his arms, "What can I say? Isn't it up to you?"
Chen Jiaxian smiled and broke away from him.
She called him by his full name: "Pan Qiaomu."
Pan Qiaomu's beautiful eyes blinked, and his light amber pupils turned to her.
Chen Jiaxian said: "Have you read all the WeChat messages I sent you?"
Pan Qiaomu took out his phone and flipped through it: "Read it."
In the chat history, the time between reply messages between the two is getting longer and longer.
Chen Jiaxian smiled: "Oh, really."
Pan Qiaomu confessed guiltily: "I'm starting a business and I'm really busy. Maybe I didn't reply to WeChat in time enough, but..."
Chen Jiaxian suddenly interrupted him: "Pan Qiaomu, if we have nothing to do with each other, maybe it would be a good thing to end it like this."
Pan Qiaomu had to think for a long time before he could understand what Chen Jiaxian meant: "Wait, what do you mean?"
Chen Jiaxian stood up calmly: "It means, I'm leaving."
Pan Qiaomu stood up and said, "Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend? How could you leave just as soon as you said it was over and end it as soon as you said it was over?" He chased after Chen Jiaxian and grabbed Chen Jiaxian's wrist, "How could you do this to me?"
Chen Jiaxian looked at him in confusion: "When did we become boyfriend and girlfriend? We are just friends who solve our desires." She added, "It's temporary."
Pan Qiao's head almost exploded: "Everyone knows that we are in a relationship, and I resigned because I was in a relationship with you——"
Chen Jiaxian interrupted him: "You were planning to resign. Also, you have been forcing me."
Pan Qiaomu shut up with a guilty conscience.
He just wanted to start a public opinion war, thinking that if everyone acquiesced in his relationship with her, maybe she would acquiesce as well.
But he has really regarded her as his girlfriend, even a bit like an old married couple, but in the end, he is still a sex partner with her?
Pan Qiaomu was indignant: "You let me die happily. Tell me, why are you dissatisfied with me? Just because I am slow to reply to WeChat messages? Please understand me. I am really busy."
Chen Jiaxian shook her head: "It's because of objective reasons."
Pan Qiaomu frowned: "What objective reason?"
Chen Jiaxian looked at him: "My father-in-law sent him to Singapore permanently."
Pan Qiaomu frowned. It took him a long time to digest these few words: "What? What do you mean? Who? Where to go?"
Chen Jiaxian pointed to the mobile phone: "A month ago, I forwarded the transfer red-headed document to you. For more than half a year, I asked you countless times about Singapore's weather, customs, renting, and - for five months, I asked you every Four nights a week, I take English classes paid by the company.”
Pan Qiaomu was stunned.
After a while, he lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."
Then he asked without confidence: "Then when will you leave?"
Chen Jiaxian opened the door, put on her shoes, turned around and looked at him, and smiled: "The day after tomorrow morning."
She pressed the elevator down button. The elevator door opened, she walked in, turned around, and waved to Pan Qiaomu.
Pan Qiaomu strode forward and held the elevator door: "I'll take you back."
The elevator went straight to the underground garage, and Pan Qiaomu drove in silence.
Pan Qiaomu said: "You went to Singapore, where did you stay? I will help you pack your luggage..."
Chen Jiaxian interrupted him: "All the luggage was checked last week. We found a house in Singapore half a month ago, and I sent you the interior appearance."
Pan Qiaomu was unimpressed.
He whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm really too busy."
Chen Jiaxian said softly: "I understand. If it were me, I would ignore it."
Pan Qiaomu tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Then why?"
Chen Jiaxian said: "Because people are greedy, I always want more, but you can't do it. If we try it again, you still can't do it. So, our separation is a good thing, for you, To me, it’s all.”
The two of them were silent all the way.
When the car arrived at the door of the small rental house, Chen Jiaxian jumped out of the car and waved to Pan Qiaomu.
Across the car door, Pan Qiaomu pressed his hand firmly on the door switch, and faint veins appeared on the back of his hand from the exertion.
He hesitantly pressed the door button.
But he didn't open the door.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"Goodbye, Pan Qiaomu." Chen Jiaxian showed a smile, "Thank you for your limited sincerity. But we have to say goodbye."
…
This night, Chen Jiaxian was lying on the bed, silently staring at the moon in the night sky.
She will start a new life journey, meet new people, and have a new world. Maybe she will find her love, maybe she will never find her love, but she can accept it calmly.
And the old friend who stayed in the same place - he and she, will always look at the same moon in their long and wonderful life in the future.
Chen Jiaxian took out her mobile phone and logged into her Xiaohongshu account. She ignored the overwhelming negative comments and found the account whose name was a series of numbers. The avatar was still the gray color that comes with the system.
She clicked on the account's collection.
In addition to her videos, there are many more videos of Li Zhuoxiu. She looked at the following of this account again, there were 2 of them.
In addition to her, there is another "Li Zhuoxiu".
Everyone will keep moving forward. The river of life is vast and no one will stay where they are.
Chen Jiaxian clicked on Li Zhuoxiu's personal account.
After Li Zhuoxiu was forced to retire, he was admitted to the hospital. Her willpower was extremely firm and she devoted herself to the fight against the disease. She is not willing to accept or think that her life will come to such an ugly end, and is still actively looking for other possibilities - whether in life or career.
In a short period of time, Li Zhuoxiu quickly opened accounts on major self-media platforms, recorded videos with real people, and turned a deaf ear to the intensive negative comments and insults in the comment area.
Chen Jiaxian looked through it, black and red were also red, and Li Zhuoxiu's results were very good.
But it has stopped updating these days.
Chen Jiaxian searched curiously and found that rumors were spreading that Li Zhuoxiu's three children had all rushed to Yuecheng Hospital, indicating that her life may have finally come to an end.
People are in the river of time, from birth to death, and eventually become the abandoned children of time.
Time is equal, no matter how elite you are, you will always be left behind one day.
