Five full days have passed since the day Lu Xiumu disappeared.

During these five days, Qi Lin Leng didn't feel the passage of time, he only knew that when he raised his head suddenly, the date on the calendar was lifted silently for five days.

Qi Lin tried many methods with Qiao Lianjian and Yu Zixuan, looking for Lu Xiumu day and night for a long time.Later, Qiao Lianjian gave up voluntarily. He said: "Xiao Mu just needs a little space to think. When he thinks clearly, he will come back naturally."

Qi Lin accepted this statement, gave up searching, and chose to wait quietly.

Lu Xiumu will always come back, there are too many pasts here that he can't let go of - Qi Lin thinks so pretentiously.

On this day, Qi Lin finished his day's work and returned home with his exhausted body.There are no warm lights in the house as expected, no thin figure busy in the kitchen as expected, and no gentle smile on that person's face as expected.Everything is just empty and desolate.

He went to the kitchen, boiled water, and cooked a pack of instant noodles for himself—this is how he came here for the past few days.

Qi Lin thought, if Lu Xiumu was still around, seeing him eating such unnutritious food, he would definitely be scolding him again.

Qi Lin only turned on a small lamp, sniffing while eating the hot noodles just out of the pan.

The hot air hit his face, and his vision became blurred.

When he stopped what he was doing, the whole space fell silent again, and a sense of loneliness gradually surged up.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of twisting the door lock from the entrance.

Qi Lin suddenly became alert, he pricked up his ears, and stared at the emptiness of darkness for a moment.At the same time, I had unrealistic expectations.

Someone opened the door, took off his shoes, and walked in.

The man's movements were smooth and coherent, and Qi Lin's heart jumped accordingly.

The man stood for a moment, then came out of the darkness, a clear outline emerged.The moonlight hit his face, so that Qi Lin could just see his profound facial features - Lu Xiumu.

The moment he really saw Lu Xiumu's face clearly, Qi Lin clearly felt his heart skip a beat.

Qi Linteng stood up, moved the chair, and made a contending dragging sound, which was slightly harsh, piercing the entire sticky tranquility.

Lu Xiumu stood still and looked at him indifferently, neither sad nor happy.

He was wearing a black coat at this time, making him seem to blend with the darkness behind him.

Qi Lin observed Lu Xiumu carefully, and he could see from his expression that he was resting well these few days, which made Qi Lin feel relieved a little.

Lu Xiumu put his hands in his trouser pockets, and the uppers of his shoes tapped lightly on the floor, making people look a little carefree.After a long confrontation, he was the first to speak: "Qi Lin, I'm here to say goodbye."

Lu Xiumu took a step forward so that Qi Lin could see him more clearly: "Just now I went to say goodbye to Qiao Lianjian and Yu Zixuan, and when I was packing my luggage, I remembered that I decided to move here Living together with you, some things are left here, and I will pick them up."

It took a long time for Qi Lin to hear his own voice in this small space: "Go...? Where are you going?"

"France." Lu Xiumu said nonchalantly.

Qi Lin's tone trembled, and he was defeated: "Why...go to such a far place?"

"Because it's time for me to say goodbye to all this, and it's time for me to confess to you, so that we can be more decisive." Lu Xiumu frowned, as if he couldn't bear it.

"What do you mean?" Qi Lin felt that his legs were a little numb, which made him almost unable to stand.

Lu Xiumu considered for a long time before making up his mind to reveal it: "Our reunion is not a chance encounter, but my long-planned plan."

He didn't give Qi Lin any chance to ask questions, and immediately said: "I came here after I found out that you were going to come to Rongcheng to develop. And I begged my elder brother——Qiao Lianjian, to help me with you Near the company, opened a coffee shop 'Wonderland'. In this way, sooner or later, we will meet again."

Qi Lin propped his hands on the table, his back dripping with cold sweat.These words floated into his ears as if they were tangible, but after the brain was filtered, what was left was a blank.

Lu Xiumu approached slowly, and the knocking sound of heels was very rhythmic: "Even Nie Wanning's appearance was arranged by me."

Qi Lin raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Lu Xiumu.

Lu Xiumu's expression was blank, and he didn't want to give Qi Lin any more expressions.

Lu Xiumu's voice was gentle, but cold as a sharp weapon, and it sank straight into Qi Lin's chest, bloody and bloody: "Because I have taken a fancy to her attachment to you. Since she was in college, she has planted a plant in her heart. I wanted to find you again and let you be with her willingly. So, I found someone to tell her about you. As you wished, you got a blind date and walked together smoothly. The only regret is that Nie Wanning is stubborn and not easy to control."

Qi Lin watched the man's lips opening and closing mechanically, ruthlessly smashing the beautiful fantasies in his heart one by one.

He should be familiar with this refreshing and handsome man in front of him.I don't know if it's because of the change in hairstyle that made him look very different at the moment.

Qi Lin felt that perhaps this "stranger" in front of him was the complete and complete Lu Xiumu that he had never really known so far.

Lu Xiumu paused, and licked his dry lips: "I understand her purpose, and I know her character better - you will definitely not like a wayward person like her, so she is the best candidate. I I'm sure, sooner or later, you will break up unhappy."

After a long time, Qi Lin said hoarsely, "Why?"

Lu Xiumu pretended to be ignorant: "What why? Oh, why do I have to think so hard?"

He caught off guard and approached Qi Lin, a hypocritical smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, revealing two shallow dimples.His even breathing spread out in front of Qi Lin, and the sultry heat made people couldn't help but be moved by it.

He raised Qi Lin's chin frivolously, and his tense expression made him seem to have changed in an instant: "Because my personal psychiatrist—that is, A Xuan, she told me, 'To untie the bell, one must tie it ', since my mental illness is caused by you, then finding you again and starting a new relationship with you may be able to wash away my psychological shadow. But the probability is very low-this is something that is uncertain .But I still made up my mind to burn it."

Qi Lin's breathing was rapid, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Lu Xiumu smiled silently, and whispered to Qi Lin: "There is another reason - I want to take revenge on you. I want you to fall with me, and to be covered in this endless pain together. I think I want you to fall in love with me, I want you to know the cruel truth at the end, I want to see your distorted expression mixed with pain... Yes, that's it."

Lu Xiumu's cold eyes wandered over Qi Lin's face. He carefully studied Qi Lin's stiff expression at this time, as if he was looking at a valuable work of art.

After a long time, Lu Xiumu turned and walked away, leaving Qi Lin with a lonely silhouette——Lu Xiumu stood up straight on purpose as if to emphasize something, and his shoulders formed a tight line, which seemed even a little funny.

The footsteps of soft-soled leather shoes echoed in the room, it seems that Lu Xiumu is fulfilling the purpose of his visit this time - to pack up the things he left here.

But Qi Lin still stood there motionless, as if he had been polished into a sculpture.It's just that the posture of the sculpture's upper body leaning on the table at this time is a bit unsightly.

The things that Lu Xiumu left here were actually pitifully small. He picked up a few things that seemed to be useful in the future, then walked to the entrance, and dragged out a suitcase—it was completely lost in the darkness before. , Qi Lin didn't notice at all.

Lu Xiumu squatted down, stuffed those things into the suitcase, zipped it up, pulled out the pole, and stood up.

He stared at Qi Lin, who was attacked by his words from a distance, and his sentimental eyes darkened: "Qi Lin, I sincerely hope that you will have a wife and children by your side in the future and a happy life. I also hope that I can Completely forget about you and start a new life. Then... let's say goodbye and cherish each other."

As he said this, he let out a long sigh, which seemed to be an illusion, and disappeared in an instant.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a metal key from his coat pocket and put it aside.It seemed to be swearing that from now on, he and Qi Lin would have nothing to do with each other.

He opened the half-hidden door and stepped into the world where Qi Lin no longer existed.

The sound of cracking metal when the iron door closed reached the ears, while the cold sound of locking it rang from the bottom of my heart.

Lu Xiumu seemed to be in a cold and dark world—just like before he met Qi Lin again.

He slowly squatted down along the corner of the wall, hugging his knees.There were cold tears falling from the corner of his eyes that had nothing to do with him, leaving a long water stain, like a wide river flowing slowly on his cheeks.The grief in his heart was unbearable - but who knows, how much of what he said just now was sincere and how much was false?

On the other side of the wall—Qi Lin seemed to have finally regained his ability to move, climbed onto the back of the chair with both hands, and sat down tremblingly.

Lu Xiumu's words reverberated in his mind over and over again, as if he had sung a song.

He didn't want to believe it, but he had to accept the situation.

In this game where love is the bet, they are both losers, and both sides lose completely.

They both lost—unknowingly, they fell in love with each other.

In this way, the original meaning of this game is lost.

The bowl of instant noodles that Qi Lin ate with gusto before has turned into a lump with the passage of time.

Qi Lin looked at it in a daze - he was thinking, since when did he start caring about Lu Xiumu?

Perhaps in his student days, love has been deeply rooted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't still clearly remember every word Lu Xiumu said to him, Lu Xiumu's straight back in class, Lu Xiumu's slightly shy eyes when he looked at him...all of this Emerge one by one, clearly.

He used to think that it was his guilt.Only now did he understand that this was due to an emotion called "love".

However, before he understood it, everything had been shattered.

At an irreversible speed, it disappeared before him.Even the remaining ashes were brutally stripped away.

The more memories, the more tormented.

Three years later.

Boss Qi has finally come to the end of his hardships - after working hard for so long, the business has finally grown bigger and bigger, the company has gone public, and opened many branches.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is not easy to achieve such dazzling achievements in just a few years.

Qi Lin can be regarded as self-made, but in front of Qiao Lianjian, who inherited Qiao's huge assets early on, he still has to be shorter in every way.

But it's really rare, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, Qiao Lianjian and Qi Linyi should fight or have to fight when they meet.This relationship has not changed at all.

So today Qiao Lianjian took the initiative to call Qi Lin, and Qi Lin subconsciously felt that there must be nothing good.

Sure enough, Qiao Lianjian started with a sarcasm: "Our Boss Qi's 30th birthday, such a grand day, can't we still be alone?"

Qi Lin said unhappily: "Why does Young Master Qiao have the time to call me to ask me about my health, instead of getting bored with your big lawyer Gu? Oh, did you do something to make people angry? Did you get scolded again? "

A vague sentence came from the other end of the phone - it seemed that the very well-mannered Qiao Shao couldn't help cursing.

Qiao Lianjian coughed a few times, and continued to be serious: "For your pity's sake, I gave you a birthday present. You are still in the company, right? Remember to sign for it when the time comes."

Qi Lin sneered: "How can you be so kind?"

Qiao Lianjian smiled mysteriously: "The name is 'Broken Mirror Reunited'."

After finishing speaking, Young Master Qiao hung up the phone resolutely, leaving Qi Lin alone speechless.

When Qiao Lianjian called, Qi Lin was about to leave the company - he wanted to leave work early, give himself a vacation, and go home to watch variety shows leisurely.

But being taken aback by Qiao Lian's inexplicable phone call, he had no choice but to turn back, find a random seat in the reception hall, and pick up a magazine and start flipping through it.

This issue of the magazine is very boring. It is nothing more than a certain well-known actress who seems to have a relationship with a certain rich man, and haunts the mansion of the rich man for three consecutive days...

Qi Lin really didn't call for this kind of gossip about the entertainment industry, so he had no choice but to put the magazine back in its original place angrily.

Qi Lin looked left and right, and he didn't see anyone like a courier appearing for a long time.He almost wondered if Qiao Lianjian was trying to trick him with this unkind guy.

At this moment, the automatic door of the hall opened unsteadily, and a handsome figure walked in.

He caught Qi Lin's position almost immediately, took off his sunglasses, and looked over with a smile.

Qi Lin jumped up from his original position, he couldn't believe his eyes.I wondered if God thought of his birthday today and generously gave him a grand illusion.

The person who walked towards him turned out to be Lu Xiumu whom he had been thinking about day and night! ?

For the past three years, Lu Xiumu has kept in touch with Qiao Lianjian and the others, but he never took the initiative to contact him once.

Qi Lin also accidentally learned about Lu Xiumu from Qiao Lianjian.It is enough to know that his treatment is going well and that he is happy now.

These bits and pieces of news were enough for him to survive one boring three years after another.

Lu Xiumu's hair was cut short, making his whole person look fresher and neater.He was wearing a plaid shirt with a pair of black trousers. He seemed to have some flesh on his body, which made him look more coordinated.

Anyone who sees him will be a very seductive handsome man who looks at him with glances.

Lu Xiumu walked up to Qi Lin, and smiled slightly, revealing the bitterness of the past three years.

Qi Lin muttered for a long time before he found his own voice: "You...you are back."

"Yeah, I'm back." Lu Xiumu replied indifferently.

"Then... that's good." Qi Lin spoke incoherently.

"Happy birthday." Lu Xiumu touched his nose, seemingly casually.

"Thank you."

Side by side, they walked out together.On the way, I ran into a staff member who happened to be off work, greeted Qi Lin cautiously, and sneaked a glance at Lu Xiumu who was beside Qi Lin.

The boss didn't receive those middle-aged men with beer bellies this time?Now playboys are also interested in architecture?The staff were puzzled and couldn't help feeling a little novel.

Qi Lin seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I heard that your treatment was successful? Have you recovered yet?"

"Well, there is no major problem. The scars on my body have gradually healed, and it is very effective."

Lu Xiumu paused, and Weng said, "Of course, the heart is still there."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiumu put his hands behind his back and carefully looked at the surrounding scenery.It seems that I haven't been back for three years, and I want to re-engrav those scenery into my heart.

It's kind of like flirting and running away.

Qi Lin looked meaningfully at Lu Xiumu's gentle side face, and wanted to blurt out some emotions at that moment, but he still restrained his impulse.

This is good, he is afraid that if some words are spoken, it will break the beauty of the moment.

Lu Xiumu slightly raised his head and stared at Qi Lin, and finally there was some vivid expression on his face: "Didn't I wish your wife and children to be by my side and have a happy life before I left? Why does it seem that it has not been fulfilled at all?"

Boss Qi Da, who has been single for three years, seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, but he still replied calmly: "How can I live a happy life if you haven't come back?"

Lu Xiumu was taken aback by his provocative answer, and felt that Qi Lin's verbal skills had indeed improved a lot in the past three years.He turned his head away silently, so as to conceal the blush and shy expression gradually appearing on his face.

"What about you? Have you forgotten me as you wished?" Qi Lin chased after him.

"You haven't had a happy life, how dare I forget you?" Lu Xiumu followed Qi Lin's example and replied.A sly look flashed in his eyes.

Qi Lin seemed unable to restrain himself, he pulled Lu Xiumu's frail body and stuffed it into his arms.

The warm touch filled the void in his heart for the past three years.

"I love you, I've always loved you, I've been thinking about you all the time, and I never dare to forget you for a moment." Qi Lin said gracefully.

Lu Xiumu was stunned for a moment, and hugged Qi Lin back very face-saving: "I love you too—otherwise I wouldn't be bothered to come all the way back to see you."

However, our little daughter-in-law Lu still has to be arrogant at critical moments.

They kissed like no one else in the street, like——

Like a pair of long lost lovers.
