Chapter 277 Goodbye
Chapter 277 Goodbye
Chapter 277 Goodbye
Since Lu Tian and Bo Jinran’s official wedding, they officially moved into the villa in the east of the city. Everyone can live together and have their own small space without being disturbed.
The Lu family also moved next door and continued to be their neighbors.
Maybe because there are a few young people, it is always lively and bustling.
New Year’s Eve, December 31st, happens to be a Saturday.
At noon, both families had lunch at the Bo family villa. Bo Yuchen cooked the meal himself because Shi Xing had said a few days ago that he wanted to eat the spicy shrimp he made.
Bo Yuchen naturally agreed.
At noon that day, a table full of dishes was prepared, all of which were Shi Xing’s favorites.
He picked up a shrimp, peeled it, and put it on Shi Xing's plate. He smiled and said to her, "You've been clamoring for the shrimp made by dad. Eat more."
"Thank you dad."
Shi Xing lowered his eyes and put the shrimp into his mouth.
I don’t know why, but my throat feels particularly dry.
She had the dream again last night.
Her premonition became stronger and stronger, and she seemed to be really leaving.
Under the table, Qi Chenyan held one of her hands and gently stroked the back of her slightly cold hand with his fingertips.
Bo Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course, he could see that Shi Xing's mood was particularly bad during this period, even though she concealed it well.
To this day, he feels this way even more strongly.
He tightened his grip on the chopsticks and suddenly asked Bo Jinran, "Are we going to the Central Square to celebrate New Year's Eve tonight?"
Bo Jinran, who was peeling shrimp for Lu Tian, was suddenly called over and nodded: "Yeah, yes, we go there every year."
This year is no exception. They had already agreed to go earlier this year so that it would be more lively among the crowd.
Bo Yuchen nodded thoughtfully. Lu Zeru poured a glass of wine beside him and asked, "Why, do you still want to join them in the fun?"
Bo Yuchen glanced at him lazily: "Is it not possible?"
Lu Zeru said lightly: "You old man, don't let yourself be squeezed apart."
Bo Yuchen took the wine from Lu Zeru and said to himself, "Yes, when you get old, you have to accept your age."
"Dad is not old."
Shi Xing, who had been listening silently, murmured softly at this time: "My father is always young."
Bo Yuchen laughed again, "Look at what I said, my daughter is still the most considerate."
Lu Zeru chuckled, "That depends on what kind of daughter she is. Some daughters... "
Lu Tian, who was enjoying Bo Jinran's attentive service, glanced over and said, "What are you talking about me?"
Lu Zeru approached Luo Zhiyao and said, "Look at this, look at this. I told you this account is ruined, but you still don't believe me. Let's open a new one, shall we?"
Luo Zhiyao slapped him on the shoulder and said, "The children are on the table, you old man are so naughty."
The meal was quite lively, but Shi Xing just couldn't laugh.
After lunch, Bo Jinran and Lu Tian asked her to play board games, but she said she was a little tired and went back to the bedroom.
Qi Chenyan naturally accompanied her.
Bo Yuchen looked at her back as she went upstairs, his brows slightly furrowed.
That feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.
He tilted his head to look out the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.
Bo Yuchen waved to Bo Jinran and asked him to come over. "The weather doesn't look very good today. Shouldn't we go to the central square tonight?"
"is it?"
Bo Jinran looked out the window in confusion.
It's indeed not very good.
He frowned and thought for a moment: "Then let's go this afternoon. If it rains, we won't go."
It's a pity, but it's not very convenient when it rains, and there probably won't be many people in the square.
Bo Yuchen nodded, said nothing more, and turned back to his room.
That afternoon, he sat on the balcony of his bedroom, quietly looking at the sky outside.
The sky remained gloomy, but the rain never fell.
As time passed and the sky grew darker, his uneasiness grew heavier.
I can’t describe the feeling. My heart suddenly felt empty, as if something was about to flow away and I couldn’t grasp it no matter how hard I tried.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but he couldn't relieve the empty discomfort.
In the bedroom on the other side, Shi Xing was also sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze after returning to the bedroom.
Qi Chenyan stayed by her side, holding her in his arms with one hand.
Shi Xing looked at the dark clouds outside the window and whispered to Qi Chenyan, "Ayan, I don't want to go out for New Year's Eve tonight."
"it is good."
Qi Chenyan stroked her hair gently: "Xingxing, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
Shi Xing lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
They came here on New Year's Eve, and no one knew if they would leave at that time, and how they would leave.
They themselves are not sure.
It was just that strong, indescribable premonition that made Shi Xing feel that today was the day.
Everything in this time and space has changed, and Bo Jinran has married Lu Tian.
Even some time ago, they heard that An Mingyu went to Kyoto and lived in the Qi family, and then the news of An Mingyu and Qi Muci's engagement came out.
Everything has indeed been moving in a different direction.
And it seemed that there was no need for them to stay any longer.
If they really leave tonight, wouldn't it be too cruel for her to disappear in the villa in front of Bo Yuchen?
After a long while, Shi Xing spoke again in a hoarse voice, "Let's go, to the square."
This made Bo Yuchen feel that this was just an ordinary departure.
At least, it's not that cruel.
"it is good."
Qi Chenyan sighed softly.
He caressed the side of her face with his palm and let her lean on his shoulder.
Shi Xing closed his eyes, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.
The rain didn't fall after all. Bo Jinran came and knocked on the door to ask Shi Xing if he wanted to go to the square, because he also felt that Shi Xing didn't seem to be feeling well.
If he doesn't want to go, then he and Lu Tian can go by themselves.
Qi Chenyan looked at Shi Xing, and Shi Xing nodded, "Go, let's go together."
She wanted to watch the fireworks with them again and make a wish.
But before leaving, she went to Bo Yuchen's room. The door was not closed tightly. She knocked twice and heard Bo Yuchen say "Come in" in a hoarse voice.
When Shi Xing walked in, Bo Yuchen was still sitting on the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers.
There were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Shi Xing frowned and walked over to take the cigarette from his hand, "Dad, you should smoke less in the future."
Bo Yuchen looked up helplessly, "You've grown up now, and you dare to control your father?"
"Can't I manage it?"
Shi Xing put the cigarette into the ashtray, not very happy. "But what if Dad gets sick?"
"Yes."
Bo Yuchen sighed and nodded: "Of course I can."
He curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, Dad won't smoke anymore."
Shi Xing nodded, then pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Bo Yuchen's Adam's apple rolled gently, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say to Dad?"
Shi Xing then said softly, "I'm going to play in the square with my brothers."
Bo Yuchen curled his fingers slightly, "Didn't you say we wouldn't go because the weather was bad?"
Shi Xing's eyelashes fluttered, and her voice became even softer: "We discussed it, and since it's not raining, we still want to go."
There was a moment of silence, and Bo Yuchen bent his lips as hard as he could, "Okay."
He said, "Come back soon after New Year's Eve."
"Ah."
Shi Xing nodded again, "Then let's go."
"it is good."
Bo Yuchen looked at her and nodded slightly.
Shi Xing turned around, took a few steps, and suddenly stopped.
After a few seconds, she turned around again and walked back to Bo Yuchen, "Dad."
The corners of Bo Yuchen's lips moved, and he stood up, "Why..."
The next moment, the girl threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Bo Yuchen was slightly stiff.
My hands hung at my sides, and I tried to lift them, but I felt powerless.
He could only hear the girl's low voice in his ear, with a hint of tears in her voice, "I love Daddy very much."
Bo Yuchen swallowed, and the inexplicable uneasiness condensed into shape at this moment.
It was just like when they first met on a snowy night two years ago, she stood before him, her eyes red, and called him, "Dad," aggrieved and pitiful.
At that time, the snow wind blew her voice away, making it almost impossible for him to hear it.
And now, she was in front of him, holding him and saying, "I love you so much, Daddy."
However, Bo Yuchen felt that it made him even sadder than that snowy night two years ago.
His voice became even hoarser, "Yeah, Dad knows."
Shi Xing hugged him tightly with both hands, still trying to tighten them. "I'm very happy. I feel very blessed. It turns out that I'm not an unwanted child, nor a child who is not loved. My father will love me very much and will cherish me very much."
Bo Yuchen felt a sense of oppression in his heart, as if his bones and blood were about to be torn apart.
He closed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, and gently placed it on the girl's back, "Yes, Daddy will love Xingxing very much and cherish Xingxing very much."
He patted her back gently, as if coaxing a child, "Be good, don't cry."
The movements were unfamiliar and stiff, yet gentle.
Shi Xing's tears fell on his shoulder, and he hugged him tightly again: "Dad, please don't smoke anymore, okay?"
"it is good."
Bo Yuchen's eyes were also slightly red, and he replied softly: "Dad, you keep your word."
Shi Xing then slowly let go of him, "Then... I'm going to go play with my brother."
Feeling the girl leave, Bo Yuchen slowly withdrew his hand and made a soft "hmm" sound.
Shi Xing raised his eyes and looked at him, "Goodbye, Dad."
Bo Yuchen clenched his fingers and gently curved his lips, "Goodbye."
When Shi Xing turned around again, he said, "Be safe. Dad will wait for you to come back and make you your favorite spicy shrimp."
Shi Xing nodded vigorously: "Okay."
She walked away, this time without looking back.
Bo Yuchen watched the figure in front of the bedroom door disappear, and after a moment, he left too.
When Shi Xing and his friends arrived at the central square, it was nine o'clock in the evening, but there were already a lot of people in the square.
"Let's separate this time and not be each other's light bulbs."
When getting off the car, Shi Xing suddenly said.
Lu Tian frowned, "I don't think you are light bulbs."
Shi Xing tilted his head: "I think you are."
Lu Tian was instantly furious, "You two have been together for so many years, and you don't feel tired of each other. It's annoying."
She took Bo Jinran's hand and walked forward, "Bo Er, let's go, don't worry about them."
Bo Jinran frowned and looked back at Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan.
He always felt something was wrong.
Shi Xing's mood was not right.
Also, there is always a very strange feeling, which makes people very uncomfortable.
He looked back frequently, and Shi Xing waved to him, "Goodbye, brother."
Bo Jinran was stunned and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Star……"
He suddenly stopped while pulling Lu Tian. Lu Tian was puzzled. "What happened?"
I looked back again and saw Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan still standing on the side of the road not far away without moving.
Lu Tian also frowned, "The stars are weird."
She said, "Do I bother her that much?"
Bo Jinran's throat felt inexplicably tight. He wanted to say something, but Qi Chenyan had already taken Shi Xing's hand, and the two were walking in another direction, the opposite of them.
He subconsciously wanted to follow, but after taking two steps, he suddenly felt something cold on his face.
"Snowing."
Lu Tian said beside him.
Bo Jinran raised his eyes, and saw thin white hairs slowly falling. He suddenly remembered that when Shi Xing first came, he picked her up unconscious on the roadside and took her to the hospital.
She opened her eyes and called him dad.
Later I called him brother.
At that time, he thought she was a psychopath.
Bo Jinran looked again in the direction where Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan left, but after just a moment, he could no longer see their figures.
He was startled and immediately pulled Lu Tian to chase after him. Lu Tian was confused and asked, "What happened?"
Bo Jinran didn't say anything, but just shouted loudly: "Xingxing, Qi Chenyan!"
No one replied, but his phone suddenly rang.
It was a message from Qi Chenyan: "Xingxing asked me to tell you that she's very happy to be here. She's been very happy and joyful with you for the past two years. She doesn't want to say goodbye in person, fearing it would be sad. Just think of us as going on a trip. We're traveling around the world, and we'll be back one day. Take good care of Lu Tian and tell her that although her love life back then was very difficult, her son loves her very much."
Bo Jinran froze as he looked at the message.
Lu Tian also noticed something. "What does this mean? What does saying goodbye mean? What does traveling around the world mean? And..."
Why did you suddenly say the last sentence?
Lu Tian's eyelashes trembled, and she finally understood, "They are leaving, right?"
Bo Jinran looked at her, her eyes were red, "Why don't you leave without saying goodbye? Won't you be sad if you don't say goodbye?"
"Tiantian..."
Bo Jinran wanted to say something, but Lu Tian lowered her eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly broke free from his hand and ran in the direction Qi Chenyan and the others were going.
She didn't believe they just left like that.
How can two living people just disappear like that...
She doesn't believe it.
Bo Jinran also hurriedly followed.
That New Year's Eve, they searched around the central square again and again, weaving in and out of the crowd inside the central square, looking for them.
But I never saw it again.
That night, Lu Tian seemed to be unaware of tiredness. She walked for a long time and finally arrived at the place where she met them two years ago.
Next to the streetlight at the edge of the square.
At that time, she was here and saw Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan.
But now, she couldn't find them.
Lu Tian finally believed it.
They really left, just disappeared without a trace, as if they had suddenly appeared here.
She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, and cried silently.
Bo Jinran also felt uncomfortable. He squatted in front of her and hugged her.
Lu Tian leaned on his shoulder and finally burst into tears: "I regard them as my best friends and closest relatives. How could they just leave like that..."
Even on the way to the square, Shi Xing was still joking with her, saying what wish he would make when he saw the fireworks later.
She didn't even say goodbye to her.
Lu Tian hugged Bo Jinran's neck, tears rolling down her face, dripping into his collar, feeling extremely cold.
She asked him, "Bo Er, will I never see them again..."
"No."
Bo Jinran closed his eyes, his eyes moist, but he just said: "Didn't A Yan say that they were just going on a trip, and they would come back when they had enough fun."
Lu Tian didn't say anything else, but tears kept falling.
Growing up with her, Bo Jinran had never seen her cry like this.
The two hugged each other on the side of the road, and they didn't know how long it took, until the New Year's bell suddenly rang, accompanied by the sound of fireworks rushing into the sky.
Lu Tian looked up from his shoulder, staring blankly at the fireworks that almost lit up the entire night sky.
"Bo Er."
She spoke, her voice almost hoarse.
"Let's have a baby."
she says.
