Ex-boyfriend

Chapter 21

"Can you imagine that feeling? The thing I've been chasing my whole life was once within reach, but before I knew it, it was gone forever."

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yi was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Xu Yue's house, drinking coffee with his feet up, his posture was lazy and careless, as if he really just told a story just now.

Xu Yue remained silent for a long time before asking, "What happened next?"

"Afterwards, things were relatively simple. What kind of extravagance, drunkenness, and dreaming are all things I can do anyway. Then one day, the foreign research laboratory funded by my brother, which is the one that studies wormholes, suddenly made new progress. They believe that time travel is possible, but the technical means are not yet mature, and a group of experimenters is needed."

"So you became one of the experimenters?"

"Life without a goal is too boring. Since there is a chance to save the past, why don't I take a gamble?"

Xu Yue finally understood the cause and effect, nodded and said; "That mobile phone..."

"As you expected."

Chu Yi said, and handed over the phone.

It's the same phone as Xu Yue's, but a little older than his - Xu Yue now knows why.He entered the password, opened the phone and looked at it. Except for changing the phone card, the other contents were basically unchanged.Of course, that photo was also kept. In the photo, Chu Yi closed his eyes and fell asleep, the setting sun fell on him, and time seemed to be frozen.

Xu Yue felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Chu Yi, who he once loved, and perhaps still loves now, is actually already dead.And what is sitting in front of him now is just...

Xu Yue didn't know how to describe him.

He handed the phone back and asked, "Did you really kill someone?"

Chu Yi shrugged and said, "Didn't you already find the body?"

"Why kill him?"

"When I come back to look for you, I must have an identity. If two Chu Yis appear at the same time, wouldn't they be out of order immediately?"

"When did it happen?"

"It was the day before I came to look for you. I remember that after getting off the plane, I went back to the old house first. I calculated the time and waited at the flower garden in advance, and then I succeeded."

Xu Yue remembered that Chu Yi said at the beginning how difficult it was to come back to see him. He thought it was just a way to flirt, but he didn't expect it to be true.It is too ironic for this person to come back to see him across unknown time and space, but kill his beloved with his own hands.

"You said that Chen Rui is crazy, in my opinion, you are the one who is really crazy."

Chu Yi's expression changed.He put down the coffee in his hand, slowly stood up from the sofa, and said, "A Yue, everything I do is for you."

Xu Yue sat still and said, "Is it for me? Or is it to satisfy yourself? Because there is someone who is desperate for you, you think you are in love with him, and it is even absurd to try to change the past-in fact, it is just you It’s just self-righteousness. You feel that the whole world should revolve around you, and once someone or something gets out of control, you have to find a way to reverse it. In fact, the one you love the most is always yourself.”

The more Xu Yue talked, the uglier Chu Yi's face became, but he didn't refute, he just whispered to himself: "If I don't kill him, you, A Yue, will die."

Xu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Yi stared at him intently for a moment, then suddenly laughed frivolously, and said: "Anyway, I have already killed the man, and you have already understood what happened. You can choose what to do next. Live with me well, or ...to get the police to arrest me?"

catch him?

After being caught, how to convict?

Chu Yi is so confident, he must have already had a countermeasure.

Fortunately, it was not his turn to worry about this problem.Xu Yue said: "Your brother asked me for the address here, and I have already sent him the location, and he will arrive soon. Let him do this multiple-choice question."

After saying that, he stood up and went out the door without looking back.

"A Yue!"

Chu Yi yelled and hurried to catch up.

The stairs in the old house were cramped, but Xu Yue walked so fast that he didn't let him catch up.When he got out of the corridor, Xu Yue froze for a moment.In this old community, three luxury cars parked in unison.They were all black cars, and it was hard to see who was sitting in the car, but Xu Yue knew the man leaning against the door smoking a cigarette.

It's Chu Yi's brother.

He had come earlier, but for some reason he had been waiting downstairs.

Chu Yu was still in a suit and tie, but her hair was slightly messed up.He smiled and nodded at Xu Yue, and when he saw Chu Yi who ran out after Xu Yue, his eyes froze.

The complex emotions of love and hate are really indescribable.

After Chu Yi saw him, he couldn't help slowing down, and shouted: "Brother..."

Chu Yu didn't respond, but just extinguished the cigarette in his hand, then waved his hand.

Immediately, two bodyguards in black suits got out of the car, picked up Chu Yi and left.Chu Yi struggled for a while, and said in surprise, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Chu Yu waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we go home."

Chu Yi turned to look at Xu Yue again: "Ah Yue..."

Xu Yue watched coldly, just like an outsider.

Of course, Chu Yi's force value was not enough in front of the bodyguards, so he was quickly stuffed into the car.His voice came from the car, it sounded dull, and he still called Xu Yue's name stubbornly.

Chu Yu took a step forward, blocking Xu Yue's sight, and said, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your hard work, I will take care of the rest."

Xu Yue didn't ask him what he planned to do, after all, he was Chu Yi's family.And what are you?

He and Chu Yi broke up seven years ago.

Chu Yu acted neatly. After saying goodbye to Xu Yue, he also got into the car.

The car drove away.

Strange to say, it was still sunny in the afternoon, but now it started to rain.

It wasn't raining heavily, so Xu Yue walked slowly along the street alone without an umbrella.There were passers-by in a hurry on the street, and some of them would glance at Xu Yue.Xu Yue ignored it, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly.

He remembered that a few days ago, he had just walked this road with Chu Yi.A little further on, it is his alma mater when he was studying. There is a rusty swing on the open space behind the playground. It is also wet by the rain at this time, dangling alone, just like the heart in his chest. Same.

On New Year's Eve, Chu Yi stood under the warm sun, smiled and reached out to him, saying, let's hold hands.

He took his hand.

But only now did I realize that I had been leading the wrong person all along.
