Chapter 304 The past goes with the wind

Looking at the determined figure walking towards him, Wu Liangye was panicked for a moment, then forced himself to calm down.

Having come this far, he did not choose to retreat.

Soon, Lu Chenxi came over.

She did not come directly to Wu Liangye, but stopped in front of him.

One is in a suit and drives a luxury car, the other is ordinary.

A bald middle-aged man and a fat woman.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly across a narrow street.

Looking at the woman who had appeared in his dreams countless times, the emotions that had been buried in Wu Liangye's heart for many years burst out in an instant and could no longer be suppressed.

Tears flowed uncontrollably like a stream, soon covering the entire face.

On the opposite side, Lu Chenxi, who remained silent, was in the same mood.

The two looked at each other, crying silently, and no one spoke first.

There was really no words to say to each other, with tears streaming down our faces.

After a long time.

Wu Liangye started the car.

This time, he did not leave, but turned around and stopped next to Lu Chenxi.

Without being reminded, she opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

The next moment, the car drove away at a rapid speed.

The two still didn't speak.

Wu Liangye just drove silently.

He didn't say where he was going, and Lu Chenxi didn't ask.

Finally, the car drove into the parking lot of a luxury hotel.

The two opened the car door and walked side by side to an artificial lake opposite the hotel.

"Do you remember this place?"

Wu Liangye, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Lu Chenxi nodded.

"of course."

Wu Liangye looked out at the lake, a hint of nostalgia flashing across his eyes.

"I remember when we were in high school, we often came here together. At that time, the lake was not so big, there was no park next to it, and there was no development around it. It was very desolate."

Lu Chenxi nodded and pointed in front of them.

"I remember there was a reed pond here. We once went in there together to look for wild duck eggs. At that time, you accidentally stepped on empty water and fell into the lake. Your clothes were soaked."

"Hahaha."

Thinking of the happy times in the past, Wu Liangye couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, you were terrified at that time, shouting for help at the top of your lungs."

"Hurry up, someone has fallen into the water, save him!"

Wu Liangye put his hands in front of his mouth and imitated Lu Chenxi's appearance at that time.

Lu Chenxi's face flushed red, just like she did back then, and she said coquettishly, "You are the one who made fun of me. The water was waist-deep, but you had to pretend to be drowning."

"Haha, blame me, it's a pity that the reed field is gone, otherwise we could have gone in and taken a look again."

"Yes, time flies, things and people have changed!" Lu Chenxi sighed.

I don't know whether it is referring to an object or a person.

Or perhaps both.

Wu Liangye was silent.

The relaxed and joyful atmosphere before suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After a long time, he stared at Lu Chenxi and said, "Actually, I've been here often over the years."

As if not daring to look directly into Wu Liangye's eyes, Lu Chenxi lowered her head.

"I've never been here once."

Wu Liangye's eyes dimmed and he turned his head towards the center of the lake again.

He forced a smile and said, "I brought the kids here to play as well, hehe."

"Um…"

"How have you been these years?"

When Wu Liangye asked this question, his voice trembled a little.

"Haven't you known this all along?"

Lu Chenxi's words made Wu Liangye at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Chenxi, do you still hate me?"

Lu Chenxi shook her head and smiled carefreely: "If I hated you, I wouldn't have come out with you today. Let the past be the past."

Wu Liangye was silent again.

For some reason, Lu Chenxi's answer should have been the answer he wanted most.

But now, looking at Lu Chenxi's free and easy look, Wu Liangye's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a big hand, and the pain almost suffocated him.

Seeing that Wu Liangye was silent, Lu Chenxi continued, "You asked me before how I was doing recently, and my answer did not mean to blame you."

"I know you've always known what kind of life I've been leading, so that's why you said that."

"My child was sick and hospitalized and needed a kidney transplant. We searched for a long time but couldn't find a matching kidney. We had spent all our savings and were almost desperate. But suddenly we received news that someone was willing to donate."

"You were the one who helped behind the scenes with that matter, right?"

"And you were also responsible for my husband's job title evaluation."

"Also, I accidentally provoked some thugs from the vegetable market. They came to my stall all day to cause trouble, and in the end it was you who found someone to settle it, right?"

"I know everything you did."

"I know you're here."

"So I'm not surprised at all that you were able to find me."

"The only thing that surprises me is why you came to see me."

"We have been living like this for so many years without disturbing each other. What made you suddenly change your mind?"

Lu Chenxi looked at Wu Liangye, her eyes full of confusion.

"Because of a few songs." Wu Liangye was a little depressed.

It turns out that not only do I know her, she also knows me...

However, they still don't disturb each other.

Lu Chenxi asked: "What song?"

Wu Liangye turned on his phone and played music:

Why not meet up~

Even just a glance...

A song is finished.

Wu Liangye asked: "What do you think?"

"Good."

"What's good?"

"It's nice to meet you."

"Don't you have any thoughts after listening to this?"

"Um...no, I just think it sounds nice." Lu Chenxi shook her head, "I haven't listened to music for a long time, maybe I'm a little behind the trend."

“Actually, I like this one better.”

Wu Liangye changed a song from his favorites.

It's called "Young and Promising".

The two listened to the song quietly, as if time had gone back to a long time ago.

If I was young and successful and didn't feel inferior...

The surroundings were very quiet, without even the sound of wind. Only the song from Wu Liangye's phone was echoing in the air.

After many years, a man and a woman stood together by the lake again and listened to music. It was beautiful and peaceful, and the scene was just the same as before.

A song ends.

Wu Liangye said, "These two songs were written by a young man named Wuming."

"I know he's a very talented composer. He's very popular recently. My husband likes him very much."

"Well, I also admire this young man. I always feel that his songs are tailor-made for me."

Wu Liangye touched his bald head and smiled bitterly: "It may also be that I am old, like to reminisce about the past, and become sentimental. Now every song I hear seems to be talking about me."

A trace of sadness flashed in Lu Chenxi's eyes, "Maybe."

Wu Liangye suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Chenxi, actually, I have always wanted to say sorry to you."

"You didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to apologize to me."

"No, I'm already very old. If I don't tell you this time, I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future. I don't want to live my life with regrets."

"You should be content with what you have. You have a happy family and a successful career now, so you shouldn't have any regrets."

"I am successful in my career now, but it all came too late. There are many things I can't do anything about. Just like what the lyrics say, if I was young and successful, everything would be different."

"I promised you a lot of things before, but I didn't do them. How can I not feel regretful?"

Lu Chenxi's eyes were red, she knew that Wu Liangye still had a knot in his heart that he couldn't let go of.

She didn't want Wu Liangye to live in guilt forever.

"Ye, perhaps all this was destined. It is the best arrangement God has given us. You should think about it from another perspective."

"If you were not self-made but a second-generation rich, would we still be together? You probably wouldn't even be interested in me. We wouldn't have any intersection, and there's no point in talking about all the assumptions."

"No, I will definitely choose you." Wu Liangye said anxiously.

Lu Chenxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Our missed opportunity has nothing to do with whether you are young and promising."

"You are successful in your career now, but how many hours a day do you spend with your lover and children?"

"I…"

Wu Liangye opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"Look, you shouldn't feel sorry for me now. You should regret not spending more time with your family."

"We have different philosophies, so missing out is almost inevitable."

"Although you are very successful now and worth tens of billions, if I were given another chance to choose, I would still leave without hesitation."

"This is all my own choice. I never blame you. You shouldn't have any regrets."

"But you're not living well now." Wu Liangye didn't understand.

"That's just your opinion. I think my life is good now." Lu Chenxi retorted.

"I have a husband who loves me and lovely children. Although life is a little tight, I am still very satisfied."

"At night, we should all let go of the past and cherish the people in front of us. If we miss it, we miss it. It cannot be changed, and there is no need to regret it."

"Actually, I should be the one who is sorry for you. After all, I was the one who left."

"No, I was too focused on my career and ignored your feelings. I didn't cherish you. I really regret it."

Lu Chenxi said helplessly: "You are too paranoid."

"Even if you regret it, what can you do?"

"We all have our own families. Things have come to this point and cannot be changed."

"Let me go, and let yourself go, okay?"

Hearing Lu Chenxi's pleading words, Wu Liangye felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away in an instant.

Things have come to this point.

There is no point in saying anything more.

Wu Liangye said softly: "Let's listen to the songs again, listen to all the songs from that year."

Lu Chenxi shook her head: "I don't want to listen to the song now."

"Why, didn't you like it very much at the beginning? I still remember that you had a very thick notebook filled with lyrics of your favorite songs."

"Yeah, but unfortunately I don't know where it is now."

"If I don't listen for a long time, I won't think about it anymore. If I have that time, I might as well help my child with his homework or play games with him."

When Lu Chenxi mentioned the child, he became obviously interested.

She did not continue discussing the previous topic with Wu Liangye, but instead kept on chattering about the trivialities of life and the little things in her life as she accompanied her children as they grew up.

Wu Liangye did not interrupt and just listened quietly.

Looking at Lu Chenxi who was talking so freely, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

She is still the same person.

But I just can't match her with the one I remember.

In my memory, she loved romance, but now she only talks about gossip.

In my memory, she never cared about money, but now she was arguing with customers over a few cents.

In my memory, she was always sad at home, but now she is positive and optimistic.

After all, which one is the real her?

Or rather, I never understood her.

Thinking of this, Wu Liangye became even more depressed.

"what happened to you?"

Lu Chenxi talked for a long time, but seeing that Wu Liangye was absent-minded, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wu Liangye hesitated and said, "Chenxi, you seem to have changed a lot?"

Lu Chenxi laughed when he heard that.

"People have to grow up eventually. I used to be too idealistic and willful, but now I have to face reality."

"Just like time, it always passes slowly."

"For example, it was dawn just now, but now it is noon. In a few hours, it will be dusk, hahahaha."

Wu Liangye understood what Lu Chenxi meant and didn't know what to say.

I could only ask: "Chenxi, is there anything you need my help with now?"

Lu Chenxi shook her head: "No need, you have done a lot for me."

"It's just that our family doesn't have any money right now, otherwise I would like to pay you back for all the help you gave me before."

"No, please don't. Consider that as my compensation to you. If you don't accept it, I will feel guilty."

"If I accept it, you won't feel guilty, right?" Lu Chenxi asked.

Wu Liangye paused, seeming a little hesitant.

Lu Chenxi said quickly: "I am living a very good life. If I am not satisfied with my current life, I would have asked you to help me a long time ago. After all, you have so much money, so this is not a big deal, right?"

"Yeah." Wu Liangye felt relieved and nodded with a smile.

Lu Chenxi also laughed.

"So you can really let it go?"

Wu Liangye took a deep breath, as if he had let out all the depression that had been suppressed for many years, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Yeah, put it down."

"Well, that puts me at ease."

At this moment, Lu Chenxi's cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and immediately showed a happy expression.

"Hey, husband, did you bring me food?"

"Well, I met an old classmate, so I went out to catch up with him and asked Sister Ma to help watch the stall for a while."

"male."

"No, he's very busy and doesn't have time to come home and sit."

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

After Lu Chenxi hung up the phone, she said to Wu Liangye, "Please take me back again."

"it is good."

There was no more restraint between the two of them.
