Chapter 33 Goodbye (1 more)
The air was suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the man who was walking slowly.His appearance blurred and faded everything around him, and the only thing left in his field of vision was such a profound and intense existence.
He Jingnian looked at him, he was getting closer and closer to him, but it felt more unreal than what he saw from afar on the day of the graduation ceremony.
Still dressed in pitch-black clothes as if attending a funeral, still with a beautiful but haggard face, and the handful of irises in his arms are extremely green, thick and blue, contradictory and harmonious, forming such a dreamlike figure .
"You are... the former chairman of Shengheng?" He Jingnian came back to his senses and quickly reached out to him, "Hello, my name is He Jingnian. It's the first time we meet. Please take care of me."
The original speech was silent, as if it didn't hear it at all.But the two green eyes were always fixed on his face, as if they wanted to pierce his soul.Stared at by these eyes, He Jingnian felt in a trance that he was in Xuanmiao, and was about to fall into this dark green lake in the next moment.
"The original chairman...?" He tried to shout again. "That... I'm really sorry, I haven't had the chance to thank you personally."
Yuanci’s eyeballs twitched, like a puppet whose clockwork stopped being turned on again, and made a hoarse voice, "Thank me... what?"
"The last design exhibition, thank you for your willingness to buy my work." He Jingnian smiled, "That is my first work, and I am really happy to know that someone likes it."
Yuan Ci moved his lips, "The first... work?"
"If there is something immature, please forgive me."
The voice of Yuan Ci didn't speak again, just stared at him, and the light in his eyes trembled and went out like a candle in the wind.
"Please accept it."
The bouquet of irises in full bloom was handed to He Jingnian, and the coquettish blue color covered his vision, making him dizzy slightly.
"Thank you." The moment he took the bouquet, his hand accidentally touched Yuan Cisheng's fingertips, which were as hot as touching coals.
"Like it?"
He Jingnian nodded, his snow-white and sharp face was hidden among the petals, showing a gentle smile between his brows and eyes.
Yuan Ci rolled his Adam's apple and said, "I also like the design of the iris bracelet."
"Eh?" He Jingnian was stunned, "Is that really you, Dad Gao?"
"Ah."
He Jingnian blushed instantly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I really didn't expect that person to be you."
"It's okay." Yuan Ci's voice held a smile, "If it's convenient, I'd like to invite you to have a cup of coffee and talk about this design by the way."
"Okay, of course." He Jingnian took his computer and went with him to the coffee shop upstairs in the shopping mall.Behind him, from the corner of his eye, he could clearly feel the gazes of the people around him, envious, surprised, jealous... which made him a little uneasy.However, Yuan Cisheng seemed to be aware of it soon, and moved closer to him, deliberately blocking the eyes of those people.
When entering the elevator, Yuan Cisheng blocked the door with one hand and let him in very gentlemanly.When He Jingnian walked past him, he smelled a faint smell of disinfectant.When the elevator door closed and the entire space was completely sealed, the smell of disinfectant became even stronger, surrounding him like an invisible fabric.
The walls are mirrored, and the lighting is dim and soft.He Jingnian saw himself and Yuan Cisheng reflected in the mirror, blurry and dim, as if washed by heavy rain.
I don't know why I make this association.
The cafe upstairs is very popular. Many people will come here to take pictures and check in. During peak hours, they can't even get a seat.But when they went in, there was no one inside, so they should have been booked out in advance.
The waiter led them to the booth, and generally speaking, the two of them would sit facing each other.But as soon as He Jingnian sat down, Yuan Cisheng sat next to him.The man was a tall man with long hands and long legs, and even though he was thin, he was more than a circle bigger than him.Now that the two were sitting on the same side, He Jingnian could only feel a sense of oppression coming over his face, as if his whole body was firmly enveloped.
After settling his mind, he turned on the computer and prepared to introduce the design draft to Yuan Cisheng.
"Ring..." Unexpectedly, the original voice murmured out of nowhere, and his eyes were fixed on his ring-wearing hand.
"Oh, you saw it." He Jingnian raised his hand and showed it to him a little embarrassedly. "This is my engagement ring, which I designed myself, and my boyfriend and I each have one."
Yuan Ci's expression was blank for a moment, and he shivered as if he was afraid of the cold, "Are you... engaged?"
"Hmm." He Jingnian lowered his eyelashes, his cheeks were slightly warm. "He gave me this computer on the day I graduated, and the first work I drew with it was your commission."
"Well, so...so that's how it is." Yuan Ci lowered his head and repeated himself as if talking to himself.
If He Jingnian observed carefully at this moment, he would surely find that his nails had already pinched his palms to bloodstains, and that extraordinaryly beautiful face, the moment he announced the engagement news, instantly distorted and turned ugly like a devil.
However, He Jingnian didn't notice anything.He even said with a smile: "Former chairman, is the wedding ring in your hand the 'Juno' of Shengheng? I especially like its advertising slogan, 'Heart. Heart, heart is the same. I wish this ring , stay together day and night. 'I really hope that my boyfriend and I can get along like you and your wife in the future."
The voice of the original speech stirred the coffee, creating a small vortex.He stared at the vortex, trying to hypnotize his soul, not to escape from the body because of unbearable pain.
"I feel the same." He heard his own voice, as if it came from another world.
He Jingnian continued to introduce his design drawings and some follow-up ideas. He thought that the original voice would make a lot of comments, but the other party just listened attentively.He listened, but he didn't look at the screen, his eyes just stopped on his own face, until he finished speaking, he still stared at himself intently.
He Jingnian suspected that if he didn't remind him, he could maintain this state forever.
Live like a nightmare.
He Jingnian vaguely felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder, so he just stood up and said, "Former chairman, if there are no other questions, we will come here first Bar."
Yuan Ci's voice trembled, like falling from one nightmare into another. "Where are you going?" He grabbed his hand with such force that he almost pulled him into his arms.
He Jingnian was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "I...I'm going back."
Yuan Ci's finger bones remained motionless, staring at him with red eyes, and his chest heaved slightly, as if desperately suppressing a monster that was about to break out.After a while, he slowly let go of his hand, and said without any ups and downs, "I'll see you off."
"Need not……"
"I'll see you off." Yuan Ci's voice interrupted, and he walked in front of him with long legs, not knowing whether he wanted him to follow, or just wanted to block his way.
Closed elevator hall.
He Jingnian's hands were hanging by his sides, and the wrists that had been held were tightly heated, as if they were still bound.This time, he didn't dare to look at the mirror wall anymore, he just stared at the floor numbers and jumped down layer by layer, hoping to reach the first floor soon.
Although he didn't look sideways, he always felt that Yuan Cisheng was still looking at him, not relying on the reflection of the mirror, looking at him openly, unscrupulously, looking for opportunities to hunt.
He Jingnian didn't know why he did this.Could it be that I knew him before and offended him?But I don't have a character that will offend people, let alone touch his unattainable existence.
Looking back now, from the moment he bought his graduation project, or even earlier, he had already found the thread in the mess.Just keep pulling, pulling, pulling--
Suddenly, the overhead light flickered wildly for a while, and went completely dark with a "bang".Then the elevator vibrated, then froze.
The floor numbers turned into a bright red straight line, floating in the sudden darkness that fell everywhere.
"The elevator seems to be malfunctioning." He Jingnian collected himself and pressed the emergency call button, but there was no answer from the other end, and there was no signal on the phone.
what to do?He became more and more anxious, and now he was in a terrible situation where he and Yuan Cisheng were locked together.What should I do if the other party suddenly becomes strange like before?I can't even hide myself.
He Jingnian kept pressing the emergency call button, and he could feel it without turning his head. The voice of the original speech was hidden in the darkness, looking at him, watching him, as if no matter what happened, it would not affect him in the slightest. .
"Squeak-"
Without warning, there was the sound of steel cables turning overhead.The elevator suddenly fell down, and a strong sense of weightlessness rushed up from the soles of his feet. He Jingnian let out a small exclamation, staggered and fell backwards.
A pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist, like a python in the jungle that is good at strangling its prey, but there is hot blood boiling in its muscles.
"Don't be afraid."
The voice was hoarse, blowing on the pinna, making He Jingnian's already weak legs even weaker, and he was naturally held into his chest by the man.
In the panic and confusion, a terrible discovery flashed through my mind like a cold electricity. Could it be that Yuan Cisheng was standing behind him all the time?Just an arm's length away?
What the hell does he want to do?
"The original chairman...?" He Jingnian's voice changed in fear, "I'm fine, please let me go!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here...don't be afraid." Yuanci comforted in a nonsense voice, his arms tightened, and he quickly pinched his waist into a thinner twist.
"You scare me even more like this!" He Jingnian hammered his hand desperately, the other party was startled, and finally let go of him.In the dark, he heard Yuan Ci's voice seemed a little choked, saying, "Don't be afraid of me."
At this moment, the voice of the staff came from the elevator speaker, saying that the maintenance personnel would arrive soon, and asked them to persevere.
The current rustled, and the silence became even more silent.He Jingnian clung to the cold mirror wall, tremblingly looking at the outline of Yuan Cisheng.
In the dimness, those green eyes were still shining like cats, and their eyes were like sycamore leaves piled up on the side of the road in late autumn, revealing a kind of sad desolation of being abandoned.
"Did we... know each other before?" He Jingnian moved his lips, "I had an accident, and I can't remember many things from the past."
The original speech didn't make a sound, and after a long time, he said, "We met once."
Or rather, never really knew each other.Whether it is him in He Jingnian's eyes or He Jingnian in his eyes, they are all fake.
"I see." He Jingnian mumbled, "I almost thought I had some trouble with you."
"Are...how are you?" Hearing an "ah" from him for no reason, Yuan Ci said bitterly, "How have you been these few years?"
"How should I put it... I had a car accident that year, and the aftereffects of the accident were very serious. For a long time, I was like being trapped in a cocoon, and even my self-awareness was vague. When I finally got better , Now that I know who I am, I find that a large part of my memory is missing, as if I was abandoned by the world."
He Jingnian recalled the initial period, his mind was blank, but his heart was full of sadness.Memories fade away, only feelings are ingrained.
"Fortunately, my boyfriend is always by my side, taking care of me and encouraging me. So, even though there are many hard times, I still feel very lucky and happy."
It was clearly a clear and pleasant voice, but every word was like the most merciless curse.Yuan Cisheng stretched out his hand to support the mirror wall, so that he would not be crushed by the pain that was suddenly hammered into his chest.
When the longing for happiness is too eager, the pain arises in the depths of the human heart——
This is what he had read in the bibliography recommended by his psychiatrist, Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus.It was nothing more than a shock at the time, but now it has become a prophecy that is accurately fulfilled.
He Jingnian doesn't love him.
He Jingnian forgot about him.
He Jingnian didn't even hate him anymore.
Being with him, no matter which one of them, was like being trapped in a dark vortex.Everything around was sucked into the abyss.When they reacted, they themselves became that desperate black vortex.
However, as long as he leaves him, He Jingnian can return to the light.When he was so worried that life would be worse than death, when he was woken up by nightmares countless times, when he hated himself bitterly, He Jingnian was leaving his world step by step, becoming like any ordinary person, possessing True happiness and sweet luck.
Is it too much?
Isn't that too much?
Yuan Cisheng closed his eyes, as if he could hear the metal rubbing sound of the elevator cables shaking above his head, touching his scalp and penetrating into his brain.It's better to break it, he thought calmly and frantically.He is very willing to die with He Jingnian.
As if the heavens sensed his cruel wish, the overhead lights flickered violently, and the elevator kept shaking. It seemed that in the next moment, this small closed and suffocating box would bring them to hell.
Yuan Ci laughed, showing his white teeth.He put his arms around He Jingnian, and pinched him into the shackles of his arms with full of love and hatred.
"Do you think you can get rid of me by forgetting everything? Huh? Do you really think you can start over?" He threatened viciously, regretted as soon as he said the words, apologized indiscriminately, and sprayed his hot breath and tears everywhere Jingnian's neck.
He Jingnian was terrified, struggling desperately but to no avail.What kept flashing like a revolving lantern in front of my eyes was a stormy night of lightning and thunder.The same suffocating dark space, the same sense of powerlessness with nowhere to escape, and a man who was also crazy and wanted to capture him back.
Intense fear came back to his heart like an overwhelming force, impacting his already tense mind that was about to break.Not to mention resisting, he even lost all his strength to stand up, and the whole body was sweating profusely as Yuan Ci's voice grabbed him in his chest and pinched him in his arms, as if he was trying to squeeze him into his bones.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound from above the head, and the flickering overhead lights finally turned on.The elevator rose steadily, opened, and warm light flooded in.
"Niannian! Are you okay every year?"
As soon as he heard Shen Tangfeng's voice, He Jingnian found courage from somewhere, desperately broke free from Yuan Cisheng's embrace, and flew into his arms.
"Tang Feng...! I'm so scared...I'm really scared...Catch me, he wants to catch me...Why did you come..."
He was like a panicked little animal, calling his fiance's name inarticulately.Her handsome face was as pale as paper, with a desolate and terrified expression, as if she had just survived the catastrophe of the doomsday.
"Niannian is not afraid, not afraid, ah. I'm here, I'm here. With me here, Niannian doesn't have to worry about anything." Shen Tangfeng said softly, stroking He Jingnian's back with his slender and white palms.His sight was as cold as ice, piercing Yuancisheng standing motionless at the side.
