In the deep night, I saw the blurry lights in the city again, which intertwined and extended to all directions outside the city. I seemed to see a complex inner world in these lights. The world contained desires, pursuits, and dreams... In an instant, following the fireworks in the farthest part of the city, bursting over the sky, gradually returning to peace, and I was also calm... I just drove the car and followed the Micai in front, driving from the elevated road to the center of the city.

When I returned to the old house, Mi Cai seemed to have taken off all the burden. She sat on the sofa with a calm expression, and I went to the kitchen to put the food I had carefully prepared into the pot and heated it up.

When I was hot, Micai was no longer in the living room. I heard something in the bedroom, so I walked over and looked. It turned out that Micai was already packing her luggage.

She was hit hard here, saying that she had let go of Zhuomei, but how could she let go completely? So I can understand her feeling of wanting to leave Suzhou urgently, and said to her with guilt: "Don't be so anxious to pack up. You know that I have a lot of projects in my hand. If I leave Luku, there will be a long handover process. By the time I really leave, the Chinese New Year is almost over."

"Then I'll go to Xuzhou to wait for you first."

I couldn't tell whether Mi Cai was joking or talking about something very serious. I just looked at her like this, not knowing how to respond to her...

Mi Cai didn't seem to take my disresponse to heart, and packed up her clothes, as if she continued to show me her determination to leave Suzhou. After a while, I finally spoke: "When I didn't go back to get my father and my mother, Xuzhou was a tiger's den. Do you dare to go?"

Mi Cai finally stopped packing her clothes, stopped, and looked up at me.

I suggested: "Your post-care work will take some time. If you don't have to deal with it, go to other places to relax first. Your nerves are too tense this year!!"

Mi Cai thought about it and felt that I was right, so she asked, "Where do you think is a good place to relax?"

For some reason, I subconsciously thought of the small mountain village in Guizhou. The folk customs are simple and there is a kind of quiet power. I blurted out and said, "The small mountain village where the girl grew up is very good, and the scenery is also good. Don't you like photography? There are too many good materials there!!"

Mi Cai nodded in agreement and said, "Just go there..."

But I was stunned and remembered that not only the scenery there was beautiful, but it was a place where people could be healed, but also Wei Manwen. This seemed to be a joke. But when I think about it again, Wei Manwen was not Mi Cai's joke. On the contrary, having her there was also a way for Mi Cai, which made me feel more at ease. I ignored the despair and pain she brought to Robben and said to Mi Cai: "Then go and help me with two things."

"What's the matter?"

"There is one thing that has been delayed for a long time on my side. Our company has a 3 million yuan pay for Le Yao to shoot micro-films. Le Yao's own wish is to use this money to help the small mountain village build a road to the outside world, but it has not been implemented. So I would like to ask you to give this money to the local village branch in the name of Le Yao, so that they can fulfill this many years of dream as soon as possible..."

"Well, there's no problem, what about the second thing?"

After a little silent, I replied, "Please ask me if Teacher Wei, did she go to the airport to see her off the day Robben left. I seemed to see her, but I only had one back and couldn't confirm it."

This time Mi Cai did not respond to me immediately. Perhaps in her opinion, this is not something worth pursuing.

I said again: "Actually, I don't have any special meaning, it's just out of curiosity."

"If I can remember, I will ask you, okay?"

I really didn't regard the second thing as a must-do thing. I nodded, then pulled Micai up from the bed and asked her to go to dinner with me. The temperature was low in winter. We talked about this a few times. The hot meal I had just now almost cold again.

......

That night, we lay in bed without saying much, and no one could fall asleep quickly. We all know that no matter what the future will be, we will remember what happened today for the rest of our lives, because Mi Cai lost Zhuomei today, and I lost nearly ten years of brotherly feelings today, and seeing through the human nature is the white clouds and canggou.

It was already early in the morning, and I turned over and wanted to hug Mi Cai beside me, but my hand inadvertently touched her cheeks. It felt wet. She was crying, but I didn't notice it.

My heart was knocked over again. Zhuomei's things could not be so simple. Sometimes I would rather see through them. It was just a choice that was afraid of pain. I can imagine that if I hadn't been bound by her, she would not have made the decision to give up Zhuomei so easily. She loved me, just like I loved her, so much that I changed my values... However, I, who was once immature, used words to mock her in front of her many times, saying that she sold her soul to Zhuomei, and hated her for this.

In fact, I don’t know her enough. To me, she should be the best woman in the world, because she gave me all her best, but I didn’t do many things well... At this moment, I was even ashamed, feeling wronged for her and feeling unfair for her. She shouldn’t meet me, and our destiny shouldn’t be entangled because of this old house... I know very well that I am not an excellent man, but there is something in my bones that I can’t even explain myself. It will always make me and the women around me hate, think about, or love... The only way to cut off this entanglement is not to meet...

I hugged her and said softly in her ear: "If you can't let go of Zhuomei in your heart, you don't have to care about my feelings, and you don't have to force yourself to live a life that may not bring you true happiness. We can work together to find a way to get Zhuomei, which should have belonged to you!!"

My words touched the wounds in her heart, and her emotions were released, and she shrank in my arms and cried bitterly, saying with a sob: "Even if I can't bear to let go... But if I choose to let go, I will let go... Zhaoyang, I love Zhuomei deeply and I love you deeply... Zhuomei has already made me choose in pain, so you can't let me choose in pain anymore..."

"No! I promise... I will decide you in this life." I hugged her tighter, and I knew very well that I could not let her down.

After I finished speaking, she cried even harder. I knew she was injured. She was really injured in this battle of Zhuomei. Compared to Fang Yuan betraying me, the pain of being plotted against by Mi Zhongde and his daughter was probably even more difficult to bear, because Mi Zhongde and his daughter were her only relatives in this world, while my brother was more than Fang Yuan.

When the pain tortures her, I am her only reliance. The sense of security she needs in this world can only be achieved by relying on my arms and licking the wound...
