C19 Sky City

Jian Wei looked at Xiang Chen with an expression that no one could understand. Xiang Chen took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket, which seemed to have been prepared long ago, and opened it. Inside was a crystal necklace inlaid with diamonds.

The Luminarist extinguished the lights in the hall and used a light beam to illuminate Xiang Chen and Jian Wei's figures. I could no longer feel my own existence in the darkness.

"This crystal diamond necklace was designed by the best jewelry designer in the country. It is the only one in the world. I gave it a name. True love represents my sincere and pure love for you. Just like diamonds and crystals, give me a chance. Let me personally put it on for you... Alright?"

I want to tell Xiang Chen that what he said is wrong. As long as there is money, anyone can give a woman a crystal diamond necklace. The sincerity and purity that comes from love comes from the heart, and it does not require any material assistance.

But how many women would believe such a pure truth? The sparkle of the diamond has already blinded their eyes.

In the end, I did not refute Xiang Chen. I only sealed myself in the city in my heart, shrinking it further and further.

Everyone at the scene was moved by Xiang Chen. They used their applause to encourage Jian Wei to accept Xiang Chen's confession.

Jian Wei looked at the corner of the darkness and finally nodded in silence. The applause and cheers became even more enthusiastic. Xiang Chen excitedly put a necklace on Jian Wei. At this moment, a man and a woman made love at Faang Yuan and Yem Yan's wedding. It made things even more joyous!

At this moment, other than me, no one else remembers the evening rain. We agreed to take a group of wedding photos with the theme of "Silent Happiness."

...

The wedding banquet was nearing its end in the midst of the boiling crowd. The guests who came to attend the wedding said their goodbyes to each other and I walked out of the hotel alone with wobbly steps.

The sun outside the hotel was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes. I held onto a pillar by my side and narrowed my eyes as I looked at the blue sky and white clouds. In the drunken dizziness, I seemed to see the city in my heart fly up into the sky along with the floating air. It fused with the blue sky and white clouds and gradually became crystal clear. There was not a trace of loneliness or pain!

Yem Yan and Faang Yuan, who were wearing wedding dresses, supported me from both sides, who was on the verge of collapsing.

Yem Yan said apologetically to me, "Zhao Yang, I'm sorry. We really didn't know that Xiang Chen would confess to Jian Wei at our wedding... You must be feeling bad. I'm sorry!"

"Haha... I'm not sad. How could I be sad? ... Oh right, did you guys... Did you see the city in my heart fly into the sky and hide in the sunlight? It's crystal clear..." I said vaguely and took out the transparent film from the cigarette box. I covered my eyes and looked for the Sky City.

Yem Yan and Faang Yuan looked at each other. Faang Yuan took off the film in my hand and said to me, "Don't talk drunk... I will get the driver to send you back."

"No need to be so... troublesome. I can go back myself. I'll go and take a taxi." As I spoke, I broke free of Yem Yan and Faang Yuan's hands, which were holding onto my hand, and walked towards the side of the street.

As I staggered, I saw Jian Wei helping the drunk Xiang Chen walk over from the other side. As she walked, she took out the car keys from Xiang Chen's pocket and opened the door of the black Land Rover. Faang Yuan and Yem Yan quickly went over and helped Jian Wei carry Xiang Chen into the car.

Actually, looking at this scene, I am not sad at all. At least I can still stand with difficulty. As for Xiang Chen, he was already so drunk that he was unconscious. This time, it was him who was lying on the ground. He was the grandson, and I was the grandfather. A person who was hurt in loneliness. His grandfather!

I stood where I was and watched Jian Wei start the car. After that, I drove Xiang Chen towards the bustling city.

...

This afternoon, I sat on the green belt by the moat and smoked one cigarette after another. Finally, there was no smoke to smoke. I closed my eyes and lay down, feeling the autumn afternoon wind blowing by my side.

Even though I drank too much wine, the extreme pain in my heart actually made me not fall asleep, but the pain was magnified several times in my drunken state.

In the past, she heavily wrote down the wait on the window. Today, she silently nodded and accepted Xiang Chen's confession. Two scenes appeared in my mind alternately, flashing faster and faster. As if it was going to tear me apart, I held my head tightly in pain. I curled up my body and whimpered.

The pain in my heart became more and more unbearable. I really want to end my life and follow that city that has been stripped from my heart and transformed into a city of Sky City.

I used my remaining strength to take out my phone from my pocket. In the call log, I found the nearest call log and immediately dialed it.

After a long time, the call was connected and Mi Cai's determined voice sounded from inside. She said to me, "This time, no matter what excuse you use, I will not tolerate you anymore. Today, you must move out. I don't want a liar to live in my house. "

I smiled and said to Mi Cai in a surprisingly calm tone, "If you are free now, hurry up and come to the moat."

My seemingly nonsensical request made Mi Cai even angrier. She asked in a very serious tone, "Why should I go?"

"Hurry up and stop me. I want to jump into the river. I really know how to jump!"

I did not wait for Mi Cai to respond. I raised my hand and threw the phone into the moat. I did not lie to Mi Cai. Under the influence of alcohol and pain, I became numb and heartless. I really wanted to chase after that crystal clear Sky City.

A warm breeze blew over with satisfaction. Before I could take a step, the accumulated alcohol suddenly rushed up. I looked up at the sky that was so blue that it made me dizzy. My body suddenly went limp and I fell asleep on the ground.

...

When I woke up, the sky was already very dark. The street lamps on both sides of the moat had already lit up. The reflection of the river was swaying along with the waves, and from time to time, the sound of cars honking could be heard on the road by the shore. Under the stimulation of both vision and hearing, the blurry world suddenly became real.

My head hurts so much that it feels like it's going to split apart, but I blankly stare at the twinkling stars in the sky...

A soothing fragrance of a woman drifted into my nose along with the autumn wind at night. I turned my head to look and it was actually Mi Cai who was sitting beside me. I was wearing her coat.

I sat up from the ground and only then did Mi Cai realize that I had woken up.

"You are awake."

"Why are you here?"

We spoke to each other almost at the same time.

Another night wind blew, and the yellow maple leaves fell into the river not far away.

The two of us looked at the river surface and Mi Cai only answered my question after a moment, "I came to see if you are dead."

"What do you mean dead or alive?" I asked doubtfully. I had long forgotten about the matter of calling Mi Cai before I fell asleep.

"So you are lying to me again, right?"

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!" I sighed.

Mi Cai held back her temper and said to me, "You called me at noon and said that you wanted to jump into the river. If you still have any questions, you can look at your phone records."

"Let me take a look." As I spoke, I started to feel my pocket.

"Eh! Where's my phone?"

Looking at the river again, he finally remembered that his phone had been thrown into the moat due to his impulsiveness. Following which, his memory was opened and he remembered that he had indeed called Mi Cai at noon as though he had gone crazy and said that he wanted to jump into the moat...

I felt a little guilty and said to Mi Cai, "I'm sorry. I drank too much at noon and said drunk words. I really didn't lie to you."

"Scum, immoral swindlers!" Mi Cai scolded without any mercy.

"Can you not scold me like that?" After stopping, I said, "Isn't it just jumping into the river? It's not too late for me to make it up to you now, right? "

"You can jump." Mi Cai looked at the river and said to me.

"If you want to jump then jump." As I said that, I walked towards the river and jumped onto the guardrail by the river.
