He said he doesn't love me

Night turns to day, day becomes longer and night becomes shorter.

For three consecutive days, Li Cheng led his men to try to open up a way in. Even though they had tried every means to smash the two statues, they still could not get any closer.

I don’t know if someone inside the maze pressed some mechanism, but the moment the statue moved away, the door suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared from everyone’s sight!

"Li Cheng...why don't we go back first? How can you live without food or drink?" Sun Li beside him also had dark circles under his eyes and a scruffy beard. But compared to Li Cheng, his condition was better.

Since the road was gone, Li Cheng had gone crazy, smashing the statue day and night, and he was about to get in, and Sun Ran was about to be saved. But now the door was gone, and his thoughts were suddenly shattered...

Maybe that person will never come back...

"You guys go back first, I'll see if there is any other way." Li Cheng swallowed, raised his hand and pinched his face to sober himself up a little.

Sun Li tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he had to go back.

Li Cheng watched him leave, and suddenly there was a faint resentment in his eyes, but the resentment flashed by and was covered by sadness. He turned his head and climbed the tree, skillfully climbing up the high mountain, Yaoyao looked at a cave opposite.

He checked and found that the exit of this maze was the grotto. Li Cheng took out his cell phone and looked at it, but found that there was no signal here at all. He had to put away his cell phone and look into the distance.

Not far to the east, his men had opened up a path down the mountain, but there was a cliff between them and the other side, so they could not get any closer.

"Young Master, our people said that we can drive down over there, and they are trying to get closer to the cave. If Young Master Sun is safe and sound, he will definitely come out from over there." A man came hurriedly and reported to Li Cheng the only good news in three days.

He hoped Li Cheng could relax and at least eat something.

But Li Cheng just glanced at him lightly, without any joy on his face. He sighed deeply and returned to the ground neatly, "Li Yunxiao was plotted against by someone. How could he, a weak man, be safe and sound..."

For three days, he and Sun Ran had not eaten or rested. He could not hold on any longer, and he did not know how Sun Ran would survive these three days if he was injured.

"Let's go, drive the car, no matter what... I want to see him alive or dead." Li Cheng pursed his lips and left the maze first. Perhaps due to overwork, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He took a break and then stood up and headed down the mountain.

"Master, be careful."

The men hurriedly followed, fearing that Li Cheng would fall down in the next second.

Li Cheng waved his hand, refused his support, and walked forward step by step with his head down. He still didn't believe it, even if everyone had given up hope, he still wanted to try.

Sun Ran is not stupid. He would never bring anyone in easily without hope of saving his life.

"Sun Ran... wait for me, I will come to save you." He clenched his fists, and there was a hint of firmness and determination in his eyes. He would never give up if he couldn't find anyone.

The man behind him couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Li Cheng's appearance. He looked up at Li Cheng's shaky figure and suddenly didn't understand whether the old man's behavior was correct.

Can breaking them up allow the young master to return to his original path?

"But, if something really happens to Young Master Sun, I'm afraid... I'll never forget him." He murmured and continued to follow.

A lone bird flew across the sky and landed far away among the woods, chirping as if looking for something.

Li Cheng walked slowly to the foot of the mountain and got into the car that came to pick him up. When the driver saw him coming up, he hurriedly said, "Master, the master just called and said that the old man is back, and asked you to go home first."

Li Cheng's face turned cold when he heard that, and he said in a light tone, "No reply. Shut up, open it if you can, if not, get out and I'll do it myself."

The driver immediately shut up and sent Li Cheng to the vicinity of the grotto. They already had people waiting there, each holding a sickle to clear the way, and they forcibly opened a small path for traffic.

Li Cheng looked at the sparse tall trees outside the window, a little dazed.

There are green mountains, clear waters, colorful flowers and plants, and the air is cleaner and fresher than in the city. How could such a beautiful place be the place to bury a lover?

He retracted his gaze, waited for the car to stop, opened the door and got out. After taking three steps, he turned around and walked to the driver's seat, bent his fingers and knocked on the window. When the driver opened the window, he suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"Go back and ask him. He wanted us to break up so much. Now that he's in trouble, is he happy? Is he happy to see me like this?" He glanced at the driver and said, "Please tell the old man that I won't accept blind dates, whether male or female. If he forces me, just wait for him to collect my body. Come on, go. I'll go back by myself in a while."

After he said that, he turned and walked forward, and in just a few steps he was among the crowd.

The driver was stunned for a moment, drove out of the forest, returned to the main road with Li Cheng's words, and called to repeat what Li Cheng had just said.

The person on the other end of the line hummed and hung up. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, or what the other end was reacting to. The driver had no choice but to pull the car over to the side of the road, thinking that it was not easy to be caught between two people who disagreed with each other.

Meanwhile, Li Cheng looked around and looked forward. They were less than a hundred meters away from the cave, and he led his men over. The entrance to the cave was five meters high, with complex and intricate patterns carved all around.

"Did you see any footprints?" Li Cheng looked at the door. It was tightly closed and covered with many vines.

It obviously looked like no one had opened it for a long time.

"Master, there are only our footprints around here, no other footprints were found." One person answered.

"Yes, when we first came here, we drove away the snakes and insects nearby. This place is overgrown with weeds and is not suitable for human habitation. I'm afraid no one has been here for a long time." One of them scratched his head and stomped on the ants under his feet, "Master, why don't we go back first? The ants here bite people very painfully."

Li Cheng squinted at him, then looked at the dust on their bodies and the weeds that had been blown up to their heads and had not been cleaned up yet. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Go back. This cave is already covered with thick dust. It should not be open."

Everyone nodded, packed up their things and walked back in the direction they came from. A man handed something to the person next to him, walked a few steps to Li Cheng, and said, "Master, we left someone nearby. If there is any news about Master Sun, we will notify you immediately. You should go back and eat something first. If Master Sun finds you and you fall down, he will be worried, right?"

After hearing this, Li Cheng was reluctant to go back to rest and eat something. Seeing the man nodded, the man also breathed a sigh of relief, drove Li Cheng back to Nanjiang, and then turned back to report.

The day passed very quickly, and when Li Cheng finished taking a shower, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

He charged his phone so he had time to reply to the message.

Siwei Te: "Mr. Li, I have searched all over Anchuan and am ready to set off for Lanxia. Do you have any news?"

Lanxia is the downstream urban area of ​​Anchuan. If Sun Ran accidentally fell off the cliff, he would drift downstream.

Li Cheng replied, saying that there was still no news, and that he would expand his search to Nanjiang tomorrow. If he crossed three cities, the possibility of finding the person might be greater.

Sun Li: "I know you are worried, but you should also take care of yourself. Your son will feel bad if you are too tired. We are looking for them in Nanjiang. The Tang family went to Yuncheng. Don't be too anxious and get angry. Take a good rest."

Li Cheng sighed, replied with an OK, then looked at the remaining messages, picked two replies, and clicked into the chat interface with Ms. Tong.

"Mom, is there any news from grandpa?"

After a few minutes, the other end replied that they were still looking, which made Li Cheng feel relieved, thinking that good things will come to him.

Li Cheng put down his phone and went downstairs to cook himself a bowl of noodles. He sat at the dining table, looking at the seat where Sun Ran had sat before, and his mouth was pursed into a line.

Good luck will come to you...

He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, not caring about the burning sensation, and stuffed a few mouthfuls into his mouth. The pain in his mouth could not cover up the pain in his heart. No matter how much hope he held on, the facts told him: Sun Ran was beyond saving.

He can't let go and is unwilling to do so.

Could it be that he asked for too much, which made Sun Ran leave him? Could it be...

Are they really not destined to be together?

The ringing of the phone in the middle of the night woke up Tang Lele who was already fast asleep. He turned over angrily and grabbed Han Junjiu and said, "Can you turn off the mute? It's really noisy, do you know that?!"

Han Junjiu opened his eyes dazedly, looked at his phone, then looked at Tang Lele, and said helplessly, "It's your phone."

Tang Lele was startled, turned his head and saw that it was indeed his. He curled his lips and glanced at the incoming call reminder, which was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" He cleared his throat and answered the phone.

"Are you looking for someone from the Sun family? I have one here who looks very similar. Would you like to come over and take a look?"

Tang Lele's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he propped himself up and was about to get up, but he changed his mind and asked, "What does it look like?"

"He looks to be in his twenties, he limps, and he's missing an arm." A faint laugh could be heard from the other end of the line. Tang Lele frowned and hung up the phone.

"Them again?" Han Junjiu saw that his expression was not very good and guessed that he had encountered something.

Tang Lele's eyes were red. She didn't understand why someone would make fun of other people's pain. "It's so annoying. Can they arrest them? They know we are looking for someone, but they still keep calling and reporting false information..."

Han Junjiu held her in his arms and comforted her softly. When Tang Lele felt better, he asked, "My parents said that we should get the marriage certificate first and hold the wedding after we find someone. What do you think?"

Tang Lele sniffed, "I will wait for him, we have agreed. I don't know when he gets the certificate, but he must come when I get it. Brother Han, didn't you promise me?" He blinked and looked straight at Han Junjiu, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

Han Junjiu nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll reply to them tomorrow morning. Let's wait for him together, and go to sleep first."

"Ah."

The sky gradually turned pale, and a new day arrived. Li Cheng drove to Lanxia early in the morning. He wanted to find Siwei Te and borrow the key of the castle from him.

Wrong, wrong.

Maybe Sun Ran did not return to China, but went to Paris?

Li Cheng thought so. After all, Mr. Aijero was there. Perhaps if Sun Ran survived the disaster, he would choose to worship Aijero first.

That day, he went to Paris alone, traveling far away from home, just to find a clue about Sun Ran.

Three years passed in a flash, and Li Cheng passed through New Zealand and New York, but there was no news at all. He was unwilling, but he had no choice. A few days ago, he heard that his grandmother broke her leg, so he had to rush back to Yuncheng during the Cold Food Festival of that year.

More than three years have passed, spring, summer, autumn and winter have exchanged, but the wind from afar still cannot bring back any news about the old friends.

At that time, Li Cheng had long lost his youthfulness and learned to conceal his emotions. Even if he was thinking about something, he would never show it to others.

"You're back, wash your hands and get ready for dinner." As soon as Tan Yuzhi went out, she saw Li Cheng standing outside the courtyard door, pulling a suitcase. She missed this child very much, but she also knew why he didn't want to go home, so she didn't say anything more, walked to him, and gently patted his shoulder, "Good boy, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."
