On a carriage driving in the wilderness, the man looked out through the window. The sky was as clear as blue, with few clouds in sight.
Zhou Jinru had left Yanfeng City for two days. His destination was the border of Iberia, and then he left the country.
But today, there was an extra guest on the four-person carriage, and at this moment, the girl with light blue medium-length hair was looking at him curiously.
Since they were the only two passengers in the carriage, the act of peeking became justifiable.
"Miss, what are you looking at?"
The girl quickly looked away and whispered: "Have we met before?"
Zhou Jinru thought for a while and said seriously: "We passed each other in the big library of Yanfeng City, we greeted each other at the lighthouse on the coast, and now we bump into each other again. We have indeed seen each other."
No wonder this girl looked over from time to time, it turned out to be to confirm her identity.
"Ah, I'm sorry. My memory occasionally makes mistakes, so I identify the wrong person. I'm really sorry."
Zhou Jinru also looked at her. The girl had medium-long hair and was wearing casual clothes suitable for long-distance travel. She had a suitcase by her calf and her hands restlessly resting on her sides. When facing the man's gaze, she lowered her head shyly.
This should be Xuyu, right?
I always feel that there is a big discrepancy with my memory.
In his impression, Xu Yu was a quiet and shy girl, but the person in front of him had a bit of a cheerful personality.
"Are you going to the border too?"
The girl nodded: "So we are on our way?"
It's indeed a smooth road...
Zhou Jinru did not continue talking and closed his eyes to rest. He learned from the coachman that the southern coastline of Iberia had suffered a lot of disasters. Some of the land was even dyed deep black and completely abandoned.
That should be the impact of the deep sea monster landing.
Especially the land where he faced the Deep Sea God had completely turned black.
…
The weather in the south is always changeable. The wind in the sky blows a cloud, covering the sun, and the bright light seems to be blocked by a curtain.
The two people in the car exchanged names after an awkward chat.
Zhou Jinru laughed in his heart. Mr. Fourth was his correct title, but why did Xu Yu call herself Miss Yu?
A childlike girl.
They crossed the border and came to a neutral land. There was no concept of country here, only people surviving in the wilderness.
"Mr. Fourth, you have traveled such a long way, have you found the direction you want to go?"
"not yet."
"Then let's go together. It just so happens that I don't know where we are going."
For many years, Zhou Jinru was used to living alone, but suddenly there was a girl next to him, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Even so, they still traveled together and later found a home in a certain settlement.
…
To Miss Yu, Mr. Fourth is a weird person who rarely talks or communicates with others. He is like a stone, sealing himself off.
He initially wore a mask and refused to take it off, but later changed to a helmet, causing many neighbors to speculate whether he was disfigured or had some infectious disease, such as leprosy.
But this rumor was self-evident, because Mr. Fourth's limbs and joints were normal, and he was even a doctor and saved many patients.
Maybe he is just a strange person.
Many people have asked this couple who live together if they are a couple or when they will get married, but the answer is always no.
Miss Yu smiled and said she would consider it later. When she turned her face, her eyes were filled with sadness.
She is a cursed person who does not deserve happiness at all.
For every woman, love and marriage are wonderful, but for her, they became a curse.
Happiness is always short-lived. When the curse comes, all that is left to others is pain and sadness for the rest of their lives.
Maybe it's time to leave.
…
He went out for medical treatment today and was away from home all day.
Miss Yu looked at the traces of the two people in the room who had lived together. They were not lovers, nor husband and wife, nor had they had a relationship.
But this relationship has always been there, and it is getting deeper day by day. She is worried that one day she will not be able to bear it, take that step, and cause deep pain to this man.
There are many things to pack, but also very few, and each one has memories that I don’t want to let go of.
They bargained together to buy the vase by the window, and the angry boss glared.
The pillow he slept on was sewn by himself, and his poor sewing made him laugh for a long time.
He made most of the furniture and then...
Miss Yu picked up the small wooden carving. It was carved by the man out of the extra material from the wardrobe not long after they settled down. He had been working on it secretly for a long time, thinking that she didn't know. Ha, in fact, she was secretly watching it.
A drop of water fell on the back of the hand and turned into splashes.
She couldn't waste any more time. If it was any later, it would be too late to leave.
After hurriedly packing her things and wiping the tears from her eyes, Miss Yu carried the box. When she walked to the door, she found a person sitting at the door with her back to the front door.
"It's so late, where are you going?"
"I, I have something urgent and I have to leave for a few days."
The man nodded: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."
"you……"
Miss Yu's heart was beating fast. She wanted to walk, but her legs were weak and she couldn't walk.
The tears that had obviously been held back flowed out unsatisfactorily.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Let me go."
The man stood up, blocked the door, and whispered softly: "Maybe you want to face something alone and don't want to tell me. This is your choice. I support your decision."
He got out of the way, and the setting sun stretched his figure very long.
"If you want to leave, you are free. I have never stopped you, let alone locked you with me."
Miss Yu was crying and covering her face with her right hand, but she still couldn't stop her tears. Her body was extremely heavy and every step she took required a lot of courage. By the time she reached the door, she was already sobbing.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm hard, and then hugged her hard, never letting go.
The man's deep voice came: "Everyone here knows that I am easy to talk to, but now, I have decided to change. I hope you can stay. If you don't want to stay here, we can go somewhere else and start over. But you If you still want to leave, I won’t stop you.”
Miss Yu's forehead was pressed against the man's chest, her cry was hidden in her throat, and her arms were also hugging him.
Her courage was gone.
The rest is sweetness and longing for the future, mixed with vague worries.
After a long time, Miss Yu opened her red and swollen eyes and said in a hoarse and lazy voice, "When did you come back?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "I've been back since you sat down on the bed."
ah? !
Miss Yu was shocked and ashamed. Didn't he see her previous appearance? !
