disappearing light years

He Xiaoli sent Chi Mu to the apartment downstairs, and then drove the car and disappeared without a trace.

Chi Mu closed the door, opened the curtains, took out a beer from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, and opened today's newspaper.

His eyes slid from "Obama sworn in as President of the United States" all the way to "National Development and Reform Commission Raises Refined Oil Prices" and then to the public service advertisement "Treasure life, stay away from drugs", and finally flipped to the financial page.

Automatically ignoring the dazzling headline, Chi Mu was about to read the content carefully when the phone rang at home.

"As a successful new star in the business world in the new era, Mr. Cheng Hao, the president of Haotian Shengshi, still maintained a graceful smile when facing the reporter, and during the entire interview process, the hands of the bride and groom were tightly held together , the diamond rings in their hands complement each other, as if they are swearing to the outside world the happiness and fulfillment of this marriage." Yan Shuo's voice came faintly from the receiver, "what afucking asshole!"

Chi Mu smiled, "Who are you scolding, Cheng Hao? Xiao Nan? Or the reporter in charge of this page?"

Yan Shuo didn't answer him immediately, but continued to read along the contents of the newspaper, "After the wedding, many people raised doubts. After all, compared with the Xiao family, Cheng Hao's family background is relatively weak, and some people even sharply pointed out that this marriage It's just an effective means for Cheng Hao to take the opportunity to take the position, but this statement was completely denied by the Xiao family. At the same time, Ms. Xiao Nan also revealed to the reporter that she and Cheng Hao met in March last year. It was love at first sight without knowing your identity."

After reading this, Yan Shuo finally stopped.

"are you OK."

Chi Mu was taken aback, "What?"

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't call you now to say this, I just... I was surprised by the news in the newspaper, I'm sorry."

Chi Mu said in surprise, "Why are you apologizing, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I understand, it's just that in the restaurant just now, I don't know how to comfort you." Yan Shuo said slowly: "I don't know the reason why Cheng Hao did this, but you must be very uncomfortable, and I'm not as good at coaxing you as He Xiaoli People." He paused, "You must think about it."

"Could it be that you called just to tell me this?" Chi Mu smiled, "Well, you Yan Shuo, who do you think I am, a high school girl who has to cry, make trouble, and hang herself when she loses her love?"

"Of course you won't, you'll just hold back alone, and don't care if something goes wrong."

"Don't worry about it." Chi Mu closed the newspaper, "I'm just curious at most, they have known each other for a year, but I have been kept in the dark, you said it was Cheng Hao who was capable enough to hide it from me too much Okay, or am I too blind to notice?"

"Anyway, this matter is definitely not your fault. Cheng Hao must have thought about marrying Xiao Nan long ago, and even if he kept the news well before, he would definitely be exposed by the media after marriage, which means he never thought about it. You know how you feel after this incident. He will hide it from you, nine out of ten are afraid that you will go to the scene on his wedding day and shake the whole city about his being gay."

When Chi Mu thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true. If he knew in advance that Cheng Hao was going to get married, but couldn't hold back and started arguing, then the multimedia presence would not only lose him and Cheng Hao Xiao Zhongcai and Xiao Nan's face will also be involved.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, there are two places where Cheng Hao miscalculated. One is that he didn't expect Chi Mu to appear at the wedding scene by accident; the other is that he didn't expect Chi Mu to turn around and leave without saying a word. Lose.

Looking at it now, Cheng Hao's face turned ugly when he saw Chi Mu yesterday, not because he felt guilty for being bumped into the scene by him, but because he was afraid that Chi Mu would not be able to swallow his breath and mess up the wedding.

It is so!

Chi Mu suddenly felt that his life was really a failure. When he received Cheng Hao's apology text message yesterday, he still had some fantasies about Cheng Hao, thinking that Cheng Hao still cared about him a little in his heart.As a result, Yan Shuo put a bloody fact in front of him with every word.

Cheng Hao, from the beginning to the end, was simply afraid that Chi Mu would mess up his wedding!

"Yan Shuo..." Chi Mu's voice suddenly weakened, "I suddenly realized that maybe what Xiao Li said was right, all love in this world is bullshit."

"Uh..." Yan Shuo was at a loss for words for a while, and felt that he seemed a little talkative. After a while, he said: "Anyway, take a good rest, don't think too much, I won't bother you, just call me if you need it, I and Ming An will help you."

There was a warm current in Chi Mu's heart, and the two exchanged a few more words, but they didn't have much interest in the conversation, hung up the phone, Chi Mu drank the last sip of beer, just stood up with the empty can, but the phone rang again.

He thought it was Yan Shuo who had something to say, so he quickly picked it up again, but this time it was strange, there was no movement in the receiver for a long time except for the noise of the signal, he fed it several times, and finally heard a low voice: "Chi Mu .”

Chi Mu's breathing suddenly stopped for a moment.

"Chi Mu?" The other party didn't hear the response, and asked again.

Chi Mu sat down again, tried hard to control her breathing, and said in a flat tone, "What's the matter?"

"I've been calling you since yesterday." Cheng Hao's voice sounded very tired, "Why didn't you answer?"

Chi Mu suddenly felt very ridiculous, and replied: "Oh, you said that, I'm sorry, I just used the additional function of the mobile phone to block all the calls that I don't want to receive in my life."

"Are you angry?"

"What do you think?"

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time, and after a while, Chi Mu heard Cheng Hao sigh: "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry again, can you say something else?"

"Listen to my explanation, I..."

"I'm not qualified to listen to your explanation." Chi Mu's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Cheng Hao's words, "It doesn't matter to us anymore, we broke up anyway, so you don't need to explain, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

"Who said we broke up?" Cheng Hao's tone was still low, but he lost his composure, "I never said that I want to break up with you."

Chi Mu looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly he wondered if he should record this call and send it to Miss Xiao Nan.

"You mean, although you are married, as long as you don't say goodbye, we can't break up, and then you buy a big house for your beautiful wife, and then buy a small house for me to play with you Underworld love?" Chi Mu couldn't hide a smile, "Boss Cheng, how old are you?"

"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. I will tell you everything when I return to Beijing."

"It's too late." Chi Mu closed her eyes, put the back of her hand on her forehead, and collapsed on the sofa, "Cheng Hao, it's too late, don't tell me it's only been a day, you just give me the oath you swore in front of the priest." Forgot? Do you need me to remind you?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he has already recited the oath that Cheng Hao said in front of everyone yesterday: "I would like Xiao Nan to be my wife, and we will have and support each other from today, regardless of Good or bad, rich or poor, sick or healthy, love and cherish each other until death do us part."

"Cheng Hao, when you said this oath to Xiao Nan, you gave up on me. You not only gave up on me, you also gave up on our ten-year relationship. Who told me that same-sex relationships are also Can true love exist? Who told me to hold my hand and support me until I grow old? For ten years, I have been holding your hand tightly, but you have quietly let go It's mine, but for this sake, I still have to continue to live with you shamelessly, huh? I'm sorry, but I still have this bit of self-knowledge. "

Chi Mu's voice suddenly became hoarse, "From the moment you lied to me, there has been nothing between us."

"twilight……"

He heard Cheng Hao's voice start to choke, but he didn't listen any more, hung up the phone decisively, and shook his head vigorously at Chi Mu.

He knew that if he continued, he would not be able to control his tears.

In the past ten years, Chi Mu has never shed tears for anything, and this time is even more impossible.

Cheng Hao didn't call again.

That afternoon, Chi Mu downloaded dozens of pages of rental information from the Internet, printed them into a book, and started packing.

Ever since he met Cheng Hao in college at the age of 17, they have been living together. After so many years, many things can no longer be distinguished who owns who. Chi Mu just sorted out his clothes and sorted some private collections into categories. .

For the next three days, he kept doing the same thing until he packed his ten-year memories into twenty boxes.

The news about Cheng Hao and Xiao Nan has been mentioned several times in the news, whether it is about finance or entertainment, Chi Mu does not reject it, and occasionally reads it.He knew that they were honeymooning in Australia now, and then they would go to Hawaii, then Los Angeles, fly to Paris via New York, and finally return to Beijing. The trip lasted one month and circled the world.

Chi Mu still remembers when he and Cheng Hao were together, they only went to Jiuzhaigou once when they were in college, and it was even the most simple way of playing, one person carried a big travel bag, traveling freely without accompanying a group, it took four days before and after , taking the train.

Later, when I worked and got rich, I ran out of time.Cheng Hao occasionally mentioned traveling abroad once or twice, but he was pushed back by the turbulent work of late morning and evening, and finally let it go.At that time, he thought that it was just a trip, and he would have plenty of time in the future. As a result, he held this idea to this day, but found that there was no future.

It's sad enough to think about it.

A week later, Twilight finished her vacation and officially resumed work.

As the editorial director of the China edition of the high-end fashion magazine "GENT", Chi Mu's daily work can be described as piled up like a mountain.This time he threw all his work aside because of Cheng Hao, and he expected that there would be a bloodbath waiting for him when he returned to the editorial department.

Sure enough, just as he stepped out of the elevator and before he pushed open the glass door of the "GENT" editorial department, the clothing editor Zuo You suddenly appeared from one side and dragged him to the corner of the corridor, gritted his teeth and made a facial expression at him. High heels clattered on the marble floor.

"If you want to tell me that I have been fired, then I will go directly to the finance department to settle the salary." Chi Mu calmly pushed the glasses that he would only wear when working.

Zuo You loosened his shoulders in frustration, looked around for no one, and then approached Chi Mu's ear and said, "The editor-in-chief told you to go to his office as soon as you come to work. He has something special to tell you."

Chi Mu nodded and started to leave.

Zuo You said eagerly, "You don't even ask him what he wants from you?"

"The big deal is getting fired. What are you doing so frightened?" Chi Mu walked to the front desk to check in without a single pause. His slender back crossed the corridor and went straight to the editor's room.

Sitting at the front desk, Mai Maimai looked at Chi Mu's leaving direction, and cast a wink at Zuo You who was stunned, "Director Chi, who came back from vacation, looks very strange."

Zuo You rubbed his forehead, "I just know that the editorial department must not be turned upside down later."

She thought that with the editor-in-chief's outburst, it would not be long before there would be a storm-like sound in the editor-in-chief's room, but this time, Zuo You obviously miscalculated.

There was no movement at all in the editor's room.

From the moment Chi Mu stepped into the editor-in-chief's office, he made himself a cup of coffee very comfortably, sat on the sofa while drinking it, and flipped through the latest issue of the magazine to be released.

The editor-in-chief, Mo Lian, was also sitting quietly behind the desk, with his legs gracefully crossed, tapping his fingers on the table, his long and narrow eyes gleaming with evil.

"You really think I dare not fire you?"
