disappearing light years

The place to eat is still the restaurant not far from Chi Mu's editorial office.

Chi Mu rejected the menu handed over by the waiter, and made it clear that Jiang Yuchen would order alone. Jiang Yuchen lightly announced the names of the dishes in front of the menu. The more Chi Mu listened to it, the more surprised he was, that it was exactly the same as the dishes they ordered when they first came to eat.

Chi Mu couldn't help saying: "Your memory is really good."

Jiang Yuchen looked at him, "At that time, I was treated by your extra spicy cold pickled melon. I don't think I can't be more impressed."

Just as he was talking, the waiter just came up with pickled melons, looking at the small plate of shiny pickled melons, the two looked at each other, and suddenly smiled, diluting a lot of the unhappiness just now.

The meal was fairly enjoyable, although no one spoke.

The routine dessert after dinner is still tiramisu.

It's just that this time Chi Mu was surprised to find that the cake served was no longer round, but cut into triangles. He tasted it, and it tasted sweet and rich, with the aroma of authentic tiramisu. He couldn't help being slightly stunned. Looking up, he found that Jiang Yuchen was also looking at him with surprised eyes.

They recruited the waiter almost at the same time.

"Sorry gentlemen, the former baker in the store has been dismissed." The waiter replied respectfully, "Because many customers complained that the taste of bitter tiramisu was uncomfortable, we specially hired a professional pastry chef from abroad this time. Let's make pastries."

After the waiter finished speaking, he backed away, Chi Mu looked at the cake he had eaten, and silently put down his fork.

"Let's go." Seeing that Chi Mu no longer had any appetite, Jiang Yuchen stood up holding his coat.The two paid the bill, walked out of the restaurant, it was already dark, Jiang Yuchen was going to pick up the car, but was stopped by Chi Mu.

"Take a walk with me."

Chi Mu put his hands into his pockets and walked along the sidewalk, Jiang Yuchen followed him half a step away, after walking two street corners, Jiang Yuchen seemed to have made a decision, he shouted: "Chi Mu."

Chi Mu turned around and looked at him in bewilderment.

"There is something I want to discuss with you."

Chi Mu's eyebrows twitched inadvertently, he looked around, pointed to a roadside bench not far away, and walked over first.This place is far away from the bustling streets, and there are only some small shops with lights on the side of the road. Except for the occasional passing cars, it is very quiet and suitable for conversation.

Jiang Yuchen suddenly had the illusion that Chi Mu brought him here on purpose.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Chi Mu's expression was very indifferent.

Jiang Yuchen sat down beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "After shooting the print advertisement next week, I will officially launch my own clothing brand."

Chi Mu's expression paused for a moment, before he smiled and said, "Really, congratulations, it just so happens that I also have something to tell you."

"What is it?" This time it was Jiang Yuchen's turn to be surprised.

"I quit."

He looked at Jiang Yuchen's face, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you don't like what you're doing, I'll quit. Now I'm a vagrant."

Jiang Yuchen half opened his mouth, and suddenly said, "It seems that my luck is not bad."

With a relieved expression.

Chi Mu looked at him in confusion.

"I may not come to China again in the future." Jiang Yuchen said surprisingly, "After the company is established, it will be located in London. How about you emigrate to the UK with me?"

"If one day, Jiang Yuchen asked you to leave everything here and follow him to settle abroad, what would you do?"

He Xiaoli's words were still in his ears, but after just a few days of work, Chi Mu didn't expect that this would really become a must-choice question in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?" Chi Mu's dazed expression made Jiang Yuchen frowned.

Chi Mu came back to his senses and asked, "You came back this time and said you were on vacation, but you actually came to discuss this matter with me, right?"

"It can also be said that I originally thought that you might be reluctant to part with your job, but now it seems that there is no such concern."

Chi Mu withdrew her gaze and lowered her head again, "Why don't you ask me why I resigned?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yuchen frowned and said, "Didn't you just say that since things didn't go well, it's right to resign."

Chi Mu smiled wryly.He suddenly stood up and walked towards the opposite side of the road. Jiang Yuchen hurriedly followed and followed him into a video store opposite.

Chi Mu walked to the movie section, took a dozen or so discs along the shelves, turned around and stuffed them into Jiang Yuchen's hands, and walked out without looking back. Jiang Yuchen paid the bill, and when he left the store, he saw Chi Mu standing by the roadside, Looks like he's waiting for a taxi.

He took the plastic bag full of CDs from Jiang Yuchen's hand and said, "Thank you."

"You haven't told me the answer yet." Jiang Yuchen shrugged, "Would you like to go to England with me?"

Chi Mu looked at her shoes and said, "What if I say I don't want to?"

Jiang Yuchen's eyes widened slightly.

"Jiang Yuchen." Chi Mu took a deep breath, and suddenly said word for word: "Let's break up."

"What did you say?" Jiang Yuchen tensed his jaw for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"I said we broke up." This time Chi Mu raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Yuchen's pupils.

It took a few seconds for Jiang Yuchen to react, his eyes slowly froze, "You said...we broke up?" He repeated it in disbelief.

"Yes, we, let's break up." Chi Mu deliberately slowed down his tone, completely ignoring Jiang Yuchen's face that seemed to be frozen for an instant, and turned around to wave to a taxi not far away.

Jiang Yuchen suddenly grabbed Chi Mu's shoulder and pulled him back. His sharp eyes were like knives, and because of too much force, the blue veins on the back of his hand rose up, which was frighteningly clear.

"Why?" His voice lowered by more than one layer, his expression was cold, with strong confusion and anger, "Okay, why did you suddenly break up?"

"You asked me why, there are actually many reasons, do you want me to list them one by one for you?" His shoulder hurts from being scratched, but Chi Mu didn't break free, but smiled, "Jiang Yuchen, do you still remember that you just When I came to China, what did you say when I interviewed you?"

"I……"

"You said that there is almost no eternal love in this world. You said that love is just a kind of emotion that lasts for a long time. It cannot be eternal. Nothing is eternal. You also said that enjoying the process of feeling is more important than the result. You don't value the result, you just want the process... me and you... now the process is over, you asked me to accompany you to England, I'm sorry, I can't go, so it's better to break up now."

After Chi Mu calmly repeated this sentence, he also felt very surprised, because he never thought that he would be the one who proposed to break up first.

He also had to admit that although he had been pretending not to care, in the past six months, Jiang Yuchen's words had been circling in his mind like an endless curse. Focusing on the result, he may not want the result, but a relationship has progressed here, and in the face of so many ups and downs, it is almost the same.

The breakup was only based on today's opportunity.

Jiang Yuchen was silent for a moment, and then said: "I said those words, but I don't think there is anything wrong, Chi Mu is an adult, you should understand."

Chi Mu shook her head, "It's because I understand too well that I don't have the confidence to see the future at all. Jiang Yuchen, you can't give me this kind of confidence."

"Just because of this? Confidence? You are my lover lately, isn't this kind of confidence enough?" Jiang Yuchen spread his hands, laughing and saying: "Stop making trouble, go back to sleep, I won't force you if you don't want to go to England, We have seven days to discuss this properly."

Chi Mu said, "You still don't understand."

Jiang Yuchen's hands hang down by his sides, clenched into fists, "I don't think there is anything difficult to understand, or do you mean you don't love me anymore?"

"I love you, and this is the saddest part, because you really can't give me the confidence to see the future." Chi Mu felt as if something was blowing into his nose with the evening wind, making his entire nasal cavity and eye sockets They all became sour, "I'm born unable to speak. I only know that when I'm in a relationship, I must be single-minded. But you, there are others in your heart."

"You mean Olivia?" Jiang Yuchen immediately understood the key point.

"More than that, there are many other factors. It is true that I love you very much, but every time this kind of love deepens, so does the sadness. In other words, how much I love you means that I have How sad...I have never told anyone this feeling, not even He Xiaoli and Yan Shuo."

"Why are you sad? If it's me and Olivia, those things are all in the past!" Jiang Yuchen hurriedly grabbed Chi Mu's hand, and said nervously: "He and I are just ordinary friends now."

But what Chi Mu said next made Jiang Yuchen stunned as if struck by lightning.

"Olivia said that you once told him that he was your only true love, and the only 'love' I heard from you was that I forced you to say it. This is the gap."

"Maybe you will say that what you said when you were young is nothing, but I have a pair of eyes, and I can see and observe. There is a tacit understanding between you and Olivia, a tacit understanding that has been developed over the years, so that everyone Everyone thinks you are a couple, and I am caught in the middle, and I always feel shameless. I also believed that I would not back down in front of Olivia, and I hoped that you would give me more confidence, but it turns out Extravagant hopes are extravagant hopes, the way of getting along between lovers is not that one party always makes the other sad, that is not a lover but an enemy."

"I think I'm really scared, so it's better to quit this game before I'm humiliated. Jiang Yuchen, we are people from two worlds...it's not suitable for us to be together anymore."

"You...you..." Jiang Yuchen took a few quick breaths, "No matter what Olivia said or did, at least I'm by your side, aren't you satisfied?"

"Satisfied?" Chi Mu laughed twice, "Jiang Yuchen, what do you think of your feelings as charity?"

"You know I didn't mean that!" Jiang Yuchen suddenly yelled.

Chi Mu took two steps back and looked at Jiang Yuchen's face indifferently, "If I really want to say satisfaction, I don't want satisfaction like this. I want someone who can treat me sincerely, someone who can accompany me for walks, meals, and watching TV. Jiang Yuchen, you may really not be able to afford such satisfaction to someone who has spent the rest of his life relying on each other lightly."

He walked towards the taxi that had been waiting for a while. Jiang Yuchen didn't stop him this time. When he opened the door, Chi Mu couldn't help but look back. Jiang Yuchen stood still and didn't move. It was frozen, only the sadness and anger that could not be concealed in a pair of dark eyes.

Many fragments of the past suddenly popped up in Chi Mu's mind: when we met for the first time, in the bustling crowd of people at the airport, he hid behind a pillar and watched him secretly, with his handsome face and tall figure; in Mo Lian's villa, He unabashedly took off his shirt in front of him, making him blush; at the welcome reception, he dragged him onto the red carpet, the heat of his palm covering the surrounding flashing lights; by the West Lake, they used They took a group photo with Polaroid, smiling like a pair of ordinary lovers; at New York Fashion Week, they stood side by side, wearing dresses and stepping on the runway, as if the future was ahead.

Unfortunately, these are not important anymore.

This relationship was like a drop in the ocean for him in the past ten years, but even when he left Cheng Hao's side, Chi Mu never felt so discouraged.

Perhaps it is in response to the old saying that in love, the party who is in the deepest will always be the loser.

It only takes one second to make a decision, which is shorter than the so-called love at first sight.

Chi Mu got into the car and closed the door forcefully.
