Chapter 493 How have you been in these five years?
It was past twelve o'clock in the evening, and the ferry on the riverside had already closed. The 50-meter street lamps could not dispel the gloom of the night.
But it is this alternating light and dark light that creates a date atmosphere for the young couples nearby.
The two of them walked side by side along the sidewalk along the river, enjoying the cool breeze.
He let go of his hand and kept a distance of twenty or thirty centimeters from her.
He took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders silently.
Lu Jingxi pursed her lips, her body was filled with his aura, as if she was hugged tightly by him.
She had a feeling when she came out of the restaurant.
When he returns to London this time, he will not come back again.
And the bond that pulled the two of them seemed to be broken again as he flew thousands of miles away.
Her instinct was to resist.
But her reason told her that this was the best outcome.
The two walked 300 meters along the sidewalk and stopped in a small circular square by the river.
There was a bench near the guardrail. Lian Chengyu sat down first, then looked at her and said, "Sit."
Lu Jingxi sat down half a meter away from him, the wind blowing from the river ruffling the strands of hair on her forehead.
The silence didn't smell awkward, but rather peaceful.
It was so peaceful that she suddenly smiled.
Lian Chengyu turned his head to look at her and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Jingxi stretched out his hands from his wide cuffs and brushed the hair away from his mouth, "I was just thinking that it's not easy for us to sit together so calmly."
The man raised his eyebrows, "Shouldn't this be all my fault?"
"Ok?"
"I can ignore past grudges and just sit and watch the river view with the woman who dumped me. Isn't it a credit to my tolerance and generosity?"
Lu Jingxi felt that this man was thicker-skinned than before.
But sometimes I think about it, being able to face each other peacefully should be...
"Lian Chengyu."
"Ok?"
"Do you still hate me?" She asked with a smile, her voice was very soft, and flowed into his ears along with the wind.
The man stood up, walked to the guardrail, put his elbow on the hard steel railing, "Hate."
Lu Jingxi looked at his back, looking particularly lonely in the darkness.
His heart sank as he said "hate".
He turned around and looked at her from a distance of three meters, "But there's no time."
Her clenched fingers relaxed and tightened.
He stood up, walked slowly to his side, looked at the abyss-like lake and spoke softly.
"sorry."
"Which thing."
They both looked sideways at each other.
The wind ruffled the short, fine hair on his forehead, and Lu Jingxi felt a pang in his heart at the frankness in his eyes.
A lot of things.
Lian Chengyu, I'm sorry for many things.
Deception from past lives.
The betrayal of this life.
There is also the matter of continuing to love you without telling you.
I am sorry.
She smiled and sighed, "How have you been in the past five years?"
The two of them are like old friends who are familiar with each other at this moment. After experiencing the emotional torture that is deep to the bones, they are relieved and finally let go.
But he moved closer to her, and there was only a punch's distance between his elbow and her palm resting on the steel railing.
The man asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?"
Lu Jingxi didn't notice his approach, looking at the only light around him and sighing.
"Great."
Work, chant, and take care of the baby.
Miss you.
She turned to look at him, "You didn't answer my question."
The man's eyes were glued to her face, "Very good."
Work, cure, rehabilitate.
Miss you.
"Very good is the best result." She sighed seemingly relaxedly.
But a heart has been grasped by invisible hands until it is deformed.
The faint watery light flooded in her eyes, but because of the dim light, it provided her with the final cover.
Even Chengyu's muscles all over his body became tense due to these words. His hand suddenly raised and held her shoulder, "Is this the result you want?"
Lu Jingxi's heart skipped a beat and his eyes flinched.
"Tell me what happened in Rome five years ago." There was a string in his voice that was about to be stretched to the extreme and could break at any time.
Lu Jingxi felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in his chest.
Through her eyes, she seemed to see him standing at the top of a huge family, and saw him standing on a throne above thousands of people.
There was a vast distance between her and him.
Her selfish motives and those thoughts that were about to move were all exposed by his words, "Go back to London tomorrow."
Even if...even if Liansheng Si's invisible bomb wasn't around, they wouldn't be able to go back to the past.
It’s not just the damage that can’t be erased.
It is also because the gap caused by the identity gap is insurmountable.
So as each other said, the status quo is good, so let’s keep it.
She could no longer afford the accident.
Whether it happened to him or to the two children.
Lian Chengyu stared at her, but she remained silent for a long time, even surprisingly calm.
The strength of his hands gradually withdrew, and finally fell to his side.
"Send you back."
He stopped insisting and turned around to walk back the way he came.
The back figure gradually walked into the bright circle of light.
Lu Jingxi raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.
He followed a few steps slowly.
