Campus Alliance-Never Fall North Star

The driver saw Cheng Huan's actions through the rearview mirror. He seemed to want to say something, but finally chose to remain silent, and just silently turned down the car music, as if this could calm Cheng Huan's mood a little.

Outside the window, the streets were lit up, and the colorful neon lights complemented each other, decorating the city night like a dream. Pedestrians strolled in the streets and alleys, their faces filled with an indescribable happiness.

The car in front started slowly, and the engine made a slight roar.

The driver stepped lightly on the accelerator, carefully controlled the speed of the car, and moved slowly along the slightly congested traffic.

He would occasionally observe the passengers in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and then say, "Well... there's a bit of a traffic jam, aren't you in a hurry?"

This sentence echoed in the car, Cheng Huan seemed to hear it, but her thoughts had already drifted far away. After a while, she came back to her senses, shook her head gently, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, driver, drive slowly, as long as it's safe."

On the car window, the three words "Shen Jia Qi" written with fingers were wrapped in a complete love heart.

Cheng Huan stared at the name, and a warm current surged in his heart. Thank you for accompanying me through the most difficult days. The fact that you are still alive is a kind of fulfillment to me, a mutual fulfillment.

Time passed quietly as the wheels turned, and when the vehicle finally arrived at the destination, it was almost four o'clock.

The driver glanced at Cheng Huan and asked with some concern: "Hey, little girl, there don't seem to be many cars here. Should I wait for you for a while?"

Cheng Huan turned around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile. This smile was as warm as the spring sun, and it warmed people's hearts when they saw it.

She took out a delicate flower, handed it to the driver, and said, "Go back. I think I will be late. Be careful on your way back. Your family is still waiting for you!"

The driver saluted and nodded. He accepted the flowers and thought, what a sensible girl!

Unlike that naughty kid at home!

Her family will definitely be relieved!

The driver said goodbye happily.

……

At dusk, the sun gradually sets, and the afterglow shines on the cemetery, casting a faint golden glow on the entire park.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in the cemetery, until Cheng Huan was the only one left.

Cheng Huan walked past the rows of tombstones with slow and heavy steps. Her eyes slowly swept over the names on each tombstone, as if she was having a silent conversation with these deceased souls.

Finally, she stopped in front of a tombstone. She stared at the name on the tombstone, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She gently placed the bouquet of delicate blooming sunflowers in her hand in front of the tombstone, then took out a tissue from her bag, walked forward carefully, and wiped the dust off the photo on the tombstone.

The face of the person in the photo is clearly visible. He is a young and handsome man, and his smile is as bright as the sun.

Cheng Huan stared at the person in the photo for a long time without looking away, and memories flooded into his heart like a tide.

All the moments they had spent together over the years kept flashing before her eyes.

Those warm moments, moments of laughter, and images of the alliance fighting together, all played in her mind like a movie.

Her eyes gradually became moist, and Cheng Huan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She raised her head, looked at the sky, and tried hard not to let the tears fall.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil.

Standing in front of the tombstone, Cheng Huan said quietly: "Song Chen, I have never made up my mind to do this. I hesitated for a long time, do you know?"

Her voice was a little choked, but she continued, "I want to watch the children grow up, I want to hear them call me mom, I want to see them find what they really want to do, find their life goals, and find the person they love, just like us...but..."

Cheng Huan tried desperately to raise the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile, but the disobedient tears kept pouring out of her eyes like a flood. She raised her hand hastily and tried to wipe away the tears with the back of her hand, but the tears seemed to have their own will and could not be wiped away.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured to herself: "But... I really want to look at you, watch our children call you daddy, and watch us grow old together..."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the tombstone, and Song Chen in the photo seemed to be smiling and responding to her.

Cheng Huan stretched out his fingers and gently touched the cold stone surface. He suddenly remembered that he would always say when he was alive: "Why are Huan Huan's hands always so cold?"

The wind blew quietly, lifting a few strands of her hair and blowing the sunflower petals scattered on the ground to the tombstone, as if piecing together an incomplete heart shape.

Cheng Huan stood quietly in front of his tombstone, from dusk till nightfall, recounting every detail of what had happened during those days.

She knew that Song Chen must be watching her silently beside her, so she shared everything without reservation. Even though she knew that he could no longer hear her voice, she still couldn't help but want to tell him, wanting him to know that she had survived strongly.

Finally, Cheng Huan slowly raised his fingertips, gently touched the tombstone, and said softly: "Song Chen, I will accompany you, okay?"

……

"I'm here to accompany you, okay?"

……

Tears slid silently down her cheeks like beads that had broken off the string, and finally dripped onto her lips.

The salty taste spread in her mouth, as if it was the embodiment of the endless sadness and loneliness in her heart.

She stared at the lonely name on the tombstone, and an indescribable pain surged in her heart.

This name once represented a living being, someone she deeply loved.

But now, it is carved alone on the cold stone tablet, looking so lonely and helpless.

Cheng Huan stood silently in front of the tomb, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was silence all around, with only the cold wind whistling past, making waves of desolate sounds.

However, the sound of the wind was like the cry in her heart, no one responded.

When he made this decision, Cheng Huan's heart was filled with pain and struggle.

She was worried about how Jiaqi would spend the days to come, and whether she would feel sad and lost without her company.

However, she could no longer survive in this world. Every day, she felt like a zombie, living mechanically, with a smile on her face, but behind that smile was endless emptiness and despair.

From childhood to adulthood, Cheng Huan has always lived for others.

When she was a child, she studied hard just to make her parents happy; when she was in high school, she silently liked Song Chen and was willing to give everything for him; after entering the alliance, she followed Jia Qi wholeheartedly; however, she has never truly lived for herself, not even for a moment!

Thinking of this, Cheng Huan suddenly laughed, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt and weird in the silent cemetery.

Her body trembled involuntarily like a fallen leaf in the wind. Her laughter was low and plaintive at first, but then it became like a flood that broke through a dam, becoming louder and louder, more and more mournful, as if it wanted to break through the endless darkness and pain and vent all the despair.

Her smile was more painful than crying. Tears welled up in her eyes but wouldn't fall. It was a sadness and despair that penetrated deep into her bones.

She opened her favorite snack, which was a delicacy that she usually couldn't bear to eat. However, at this moment, she poured most of the bottle of sleeping pills into the snack bag without hesitation.

She looked at those little white pills, as if she saw the end of her own life. There was not a trace of fear in her heart, only a sense of relief.

She slowly chewed the snacks and sleeping pills together and swallowed them, thinking that she would soon see the person she loved most again. She no longer had any regrets in her heart.

Cheng Huan knew that if she made such a decision, Song Chen would not forgive her, and neither would Shen Jiaqi.

But she no longer cares. She doesn't want to gain anyone's forgiveness anymore. She just wants to be selfish for once and live for herself.
