After returning home late at night, Liu Xuan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

My mind is full of Li Ruoxi.

He originally thought that after such a long period of no contact, this shadow would have faded in his mind, but it was not until tonight when he was sitting on the boulder and singing that he realized that she was already deeply imprinted in his mind.

A WeChat notification sound came from the phone.

Liu Xuan opened it and saw that it was sent by Lu Yuqing.

"have you slept?"

Liu Xuan hesitated for a moment and replied: "Not yet!"

Then the phone rang and he answered it.

"Brother Liu Xuan, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep. Aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep either."

"why?"

"do not know."

Liu Xuan didn't know what to say, so he fell silent.

There was a brief silence.

"I want to trouble you with something..." Lu Yuqing said embarrassedly.

"what's up?"

"Can you accompany me to Yanjing tomorrow?"

"Going to Yanjing?"

"Correct!"

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Lu Yuqing asked him for his ID number.

After saying good night to each other, Liu Xuan hung up the phone.

Soon, he received a text message with the flight information for tomorrow morning at 10:30.

Lu Yuqing didn't tell her the reason for going to Yanjing, and Liu Xuan didn't ask.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xuan still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He opened Weibo and clicked on Li Ruoxi's homepage, only to find that she had updated a status yesterday.

This is a set of photos taken on the grassland in Linnan.

Among them are several intimate photos with a boy.

Liu Xuan's breathing stopped suddenly and he felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.

He stared at the photo in a daze.

Even though he had been prepared to accept all of this and knew that this day would come sooner or later, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

I was not sleepy at all, and at this moment I was even more awake.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

The blurry face in my mind gradually became clear.

He remembered her saying, "Uncle Liu, if you wait until I graduate, I will always be with you."

She also said: "I can't leave you, my world can't be without you!"

He believed it.

But the facts finally broke him down completely.

He somewhat regretted agreeing to go to Beijing with Lu Yuqing.

I just want to lie on the sofa like this and die in peace, without having to face the intrigues of this world or the ups and downs of love.

He took a puff of cigarette, and the smoke he exhaled slowly rose up. Through the smoke, he seemed to see the boundless wilderness and a colorful butterfly dancing gracefully. He tried his best to chase it, but startled the butterfly and it flew away into the distance, out of reach.

Liu Xuan was very annoyed and put out the cigarette that was about to burn out.

He got dressed, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and went to a karaoke room in the suburbs.

With my cell phone and flashlight in hand, I walked up the mountain along the bluestone path.

In the dark night, he opened the door.

After entering, he didn't turn on the lights and sat on the sofa in the practice room in a daze.

After a long time, he stood up, took the guitar from the shelf, and put it on his back.

My fingers swept across the strings, still playing the song "Elopement" by Zheng Jun.

"Dedicate your youth to the glorious city behind you..."

He sang in the darkness, giving free rein to his inner unhappiness.

The gears of fate keep turning, bringing in one group of people and sending away another.

He fell into deep pain and regretted why he had forced Li Ruoxi away.

He really wants to be a selfish person, selfish in love and selfish in life.

If I had responded to Li Ruoxi's love at that time, I wouldn't be as heartbroken as I am now.

But he couldn't do it. He didn't want Li Ruoxi to be sad after he left this world, so he deserved to endure the pain he was suffering now.

He felt somewhat unwilling and hated the injustice of fate even more.

Since he has been brought into this world, why should we deprive him of the right to live!

"I want to elope with you..."

Liu Xuan sang at the top of his lungs in the darkness and cried unrestrainedly.

After singing a song, he threw his guitar heavily on the sofa and collapsed to the ground exhausted.

He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself.

The moment the flames rose, his pale face and two clearly visible tear marks were reflected.

He smoked one cigarette after another until he had finished half a pack.

Then he leaned on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

Dawn the next day.

It was not yet fully light when Liu Xuan was awakened by the sound of the door opening.

He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the door, curious whether it was Lin Fan or Chang Qian who came to the practice room at this time.

After a moment, Chang Qian opened the door and walked in.

"So early?"

Chang Qian didn't notice Liu Xuan and was startled by the sudden voice.

When she saw Liu Xuan sitting on the sofa, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you early too?"

Chang Qian was wearing a professional suit and black high heels today.

"Or did you not go home last night?"

Liu Xuan nodded, confirming her guess.

"You don't look well."

Chang Qian walked up to Liu Xuan, took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from her bag, took out one and lit it.

Liu Xuan was a little surprised. This woman who looked beautiful and proud actually smoked?

"I didn't sleep well last night!"

Liu Xuan perfunctorily made an excuse for his decadence last night.

"Of course you can't sleep well here. Tell me what happened and I'll help you analyze it."

Chang Qian exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Liu Xuan calmly.

She made Liu Xuan feel like smoking again, but he had already finished his cigarettes last night.

Chang Qian was very considerate and handed him the cigarette: "I don't know if you are used to smoking thin cigarettes."

"Don't pick."

Liu Xuan took out a cigarette, put it to his lips and lit it.

"First, tell me why you came here so early?"

Chang Qian glanced at him: "Do I need to report to you?"

Liu Xuan was speechless and chose to remain silent.

"Tell me about your situation. I'm not in a very good mood!"

Liu Xuan didn't know whether he should tell her about his own affairs, because when talking about Li Ruoxi, he would inevitably bring up the issue of cancer, but he didn't want too many people to know about it.

But at this moment, he really needed someone to talk to.

Liu Xuan looked painful.

Chang Qian didn't embarrass him and just said, "Wait for me."

Then get up and leave the house.

After a short while, she came back.

When I came, I had an extra box of beer in my hand.

Liu Xuan was a little surprised by this. He remembered Chang Qian said that she hated depraved people.

Chang Qian looked calm as usual. She opened a can for herself and then handed one to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan didn't say anything polite because he really wanted to get drunk at this moment.

The two of them tacitly did not speak, but just clinked their cans together and drank one can of wine after another.

The box of beer was soon half gone.

Liu Xuan's face turned red and he burped from time to time.

Chang Qian's expression remained basically unchanged, which surprised Liu Xuan.

Under the influence of alcohol, Liu Xuan finally told about his experience with Li Ruoxi.

Chang Qian just listened quietly.

Just like this, a woman of unparalleled beauty listened to a drunk man telling his past stories.

After telling the whole story, Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer in as much pain as he had been last night.

He stood up unsteadily, picked up the guitar, and started singing the song "Elopement" again.

It seems like I want to cram everything I want to say into this song.

He wanted to elope with her, break free from the shackles of fate, and live an ordinary life in a strange town!

Escape from this tormenting death!
