Chapter 19: City in the Sky

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

The lighting master turned off the lights in the hall and used a beam of light to highlight Xiang Chen and Jian Wei's figures, and I could no longer feel my existence in the darkness.

"This crystal diamond necklace was designed by me by the best jewelry designer in China. There is only one in the world. I gave it a name...Love represents my most sincere and pure love for you. Just like diamonds and crystals, give me a chance to wear it for you with my own hands... OK?"

I want to tell Xiang Chen that what he said is wrong. Anyone who has money can give a crystal diamond necklace to a woman, but the sincerity and purity derived from love come from the heart and do not need to rely on any material things.

But how many women believe such a purest truth? The shiny diamonds have already fascinated their eyes.

After all, I didn't refute Xiang Chen, but just sealed myself in the city I had in my heart to shrink and smaller...

Everyone at the scene was moved by Xiang Chen, and they encouraged Jian Wei to accept the confession from Xiang Chen with applause.

Jian Wei looked at the corner of the darkness and finally nodded in silence, so the applause and cheers became even more enthusiastic. Xiang Chen was excited to put on a necklace for Jian Wei. At this moment, a man and a woman were in love at Fang Yuan and Yan Yan’s wedding, and the joy was even more joyful!

At this moment, except for me, no one remembers that evening rain. We agreed to take a set of wedding photos with the theme of "Silent and Joyful".

...

The wedding banquet was coming to an end in the boiling crowd. The guests who came to attend the wedding said goodbye to each other. I walked alone outside the hotel with staggering steps.

The sunshine outside the hotel is so good that I can't open my eyes. I held a pillar beside me and squinted my eyes at the blue sky and white clouds. In the drunken dizziness, I seemed to see the city in my heart flying into the sky with the floating air, merged with the blue sky and white clouds, gradually becoming crystal clear, and I couldn't see a trace of loneliness and pain!

Yan Yan and Fang Yuan, wearing wedding dress, supported me, who was shaking from left to right.

Yan Yan said to me with apologies: "Zhaoyang, I'm sorry, we really didn't know that Xiang Chen would confess his love to Jian Wei at our wedding... You must be unhappy, sorry!"

"Haha... I'm not sad, how could I be sad?... By the way, have you... seen the city in my heart fly into the sky, hidden in the sunshine crystal clear..." I said vaguely, then pulled out the transparent film from the cigarette box, covering my eyes to find the city of the sky.

Yan Yan and Fang Yuan looked at each other, and Fang Yuan took off the film from my hand and said to me: "Stop talking drunk... I'll ask the driver to take you back."

"No need to do this... Please, I'll go back by myself, I'll take a taxi." I said as I broke free from Yan Yan and Fang Yuan, holding my hand and walking towards the street.

While staggering, I saw Jian Wei helping Xiang Chen walk from the other side, and she took out the car keys from Xiang Chen's pocket while walking, and then opened the door of the black Land Rover. Fang Yuan and Yan Yan hurried over and helped Jian Wei help Xiang Chen into the car.

Actually, I was not sad at all when I looked at this scene. At least I could stand up with difficulty. Xiang Chen was drunk and unconscious. This time it was him who lay down. He was his grandson, and I was my grandson, a man who was hurt in loneliness!

I stood there, watching Jian Wei start the car, and then drove Xiang Chen towards the prosperity of the city.

...

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

Even though I had drunk too much wine, the extreme pain in my heart prevented me from falling asleep, and the pain was magnified several times in the drunken alternative sobriety.

The waiting she wrote heavily on the car window in the past, today she nodded silently to accept Xiang Chen's confession. The two scenes appeared in my mind alternately, flashing faster and faster, as if to tear me apart. I hugged my head tightly in pain, curled up and sobbed.

The pain in my heart is getting more and more unbearable. I really want to end my life and follow the city that has been stripped from my heart and transformed into a city in the sky.

I used my remaining strength to take out my cell phone from my pocket, found the most recent call record in the call record and dialed it out immediately.

It took a long time after dialing, but the phone was connected. Mi Cai's firm voice came from inside. She said to me: "No matter what excuse you use this time, I will not tolerate you anymore. You must move out today. I don't want a liar to live in my house."

I smiled and said to Mi Cai in an unusually calm tone: "If you have time now, come to the moat as soon as possible."

My seemingly nonsensical request made Mi Cai even more angry. She asked in a heavy tone: "Why should I go?"

"Come and stop me, I want to jump into the river, I really can jump!"

I didn't wait for Mi Cai to answer and threw my phone into the moat. I didn't cheat Mi Cai. Driven by alcohol and pain, I became numb and really wanted to pursue that crystal clear sky city.

A warm breeze blew with comfort. Before I could take a step, the accumulated alcohol suddenly rushed up. I looked up at the dizzy blue sky. My body suddenly became soft and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

...

When I woke up, the sky was already dark, and the street lights on both sides of the moat had already lit up, reflected on the river surface and swaying with the waves. The sound of cars whistling from time to time on the road on the shore. Under the double stimulation of vision and hearing, the blurred world suddenly became real.

I was so frustrated that I was about to break my head, but I looked at the stars flew in a daze at the sky...

A comfortable fragrance of a woman drifted into my nose with the autumn wind at night. I turned around and looked at it. It turned out that Mi Cai was sitting beside me, and I was wearing her coat.

I sat up from the ground, and then Mi Cai realized that I was awake.

"You're awake."

"Why are you here?"

We said to each other almost at the same time.

Another night wind blew, and the yellowed maple leaves fell down, falling into the river not far away, drifting with the waves against the backdrop of starlight.

We both looked at the riverside, and Mi Cai answered my question for a moment: "I'll see if you're dead."

"What's the one who's not dead?" I asked in confusion. I had long forgotten the call to Mi Cai before going to bed.

"So you're cheating on me again, are you?"

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

Mi Cai said to me patiently: "You called me at noon and said you want to jump into the river. If you still have any questions, you can check the call history on your phone."

"Then I'll take a look." I said and began to touch my pocket.

"Huh! Where is my phone number?"

Looking at the river again, I finally remembered that the phone was thrown into the moat by myself in impulse, and then the memory was opened. I remembered that I was indeed crazy at noon and called Mi Cai and said I wanted to jump into the moat...

I said to Mi Cai a little guiltily: "I'm sorry, I've drunk too much at noon and said drunken words. I'm really not cheating you."

"Scum, a scammer with no virtue!" Mi Cai cursed without any mercy.

"Can you stop scolding me like this?" I said again after stopping, "Don't you just jump into the river? I'll make up for it now, right?"

"You jump." Mi Cai looked at He and said to me.

"Jump, jump." I said as I walked towards the river and stood on the guardrail by the river.
