Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 75
byChapter 79
What Chen Shilu said made Chi Huang a little confused. He seemed to have heard it, but he seemed not to have heard it.
After a long while, he asked blankly: “What are you talking about?”
“I said we’re done here.” Chen Shilu looked directly into his eyes. “It’s time to end it, before everything gets worse. I’ll stay in a hotel for two days to give you time to move and pack your things.”
After hearing this, Chi Huang watched his eyes change from blank to crazy, then frowned, stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and pushed him against the wall.
Chi Huang’s throat kept swallowing, making his voice hoarse and tearing: “Chen Shilu, take back what you just said!”
He held the fists on his chest that were clenching his clothes and absorbed the storm in Chi Huang’s eyes with calmness: “You know, you can’t take back what you say.”
“As long as you say you take it back, you can take it back.” Chi Huang became anxious and even started to gasp for air. “You didn’t say anything, I didn’t hear anything. I know you are just still angry with me. I was wrong, and I will change it…”
Chen Shilu had been thinking about this matter over and over in the past few days. It was extremely difficult for him to make this decision, but he knew that it was right to stop there.In life, making the right decision is often difficult.
The indefinable relationship and feelings between him and Chi Huang have indeed reached the moment of decision-making.
Chen Shilu closed his eyes forcefully: “I won’t take it back, I want to end it with you.”
Seeing his persistence, Chi Huang became helpless and uneasy. He let go of Chen Shilu’s fingers and walked quickly around the room. Finally, he walked back to Chen Shilu, stared at his red eyes, and asked viciously and desperately: “Why?
“I did something wrong, and I know it was wrong. I said I would change it, and I apologize to you. What else do you want me to do?Do you want to punish me?Okay, as long as it makes you no longer angry, you can do whatever you want to me.” He held Chen Shilu’s shoulders firmly, and his long and powerful fingers dug into Chen Shilu’s muscles and bones like eagle claws. “I don’t allow you to say it’s over!I’m not allowed!We are not finished!We won’t finish!”
“Apologies and corrections are after the fact, and the harm and loss that has been caused cannot be undone.”Chen Shilu held his wrist and tried to pull off the clamp on his shoulders, “Chi Huang, before you did these things, you knew that you would make me unhappy and that it would cause me a lot of trouble, but you still chose to do this.Since you have the courage to destroy, you should have the courage to bear the consequences. Don’t make these meaningless arguments, which are annoying.”
Chi Huang swallowed his throat. He had nothing to say. It was true that he knowingly committed the crime, and Chen Shilu was not wrong at all.
His eyes became even redder, almost watery: “I know, so I was wrong, can you forgive me?You just said these words to punish me, right? You didn’t really want to end it with me?”
“I don’t want to punish you.Punishing you won’t do me any good, and I really feel that we are not suitable to continue.”
As soon as Chi Huang blinked, tears fell down, his eyelashes were moistened and stuck together, and his voice was choked with sobs: “Chen Shilu, are you so hard-hearted?Not even giving me a chance?”
“I’ve given you many opportunities, and you know it very well, so there’s no need to accuse me of this.”
Chen Shilu seems to always be on the side of “justice”. Both truth and morality are in his hands, and people cannot refute it no matter how unwilling they are.Chi Huang became angry and shouted: “Then you said you love me?Are those things you said bullshit?”
“I said those words before you did these things, and I really loved you then.”
“What now?If you say you don’t love it, don’t you love it?Not even a little bit?”
Chen Shilu was tired of this kind of meaningless questioning.This process was also uncomfortable for him, and Chi Huang’s entanglements stretched the process infinitely, making him almost unable to bear it.
He turned his face away and no longer looked at Chi Huang: “No, I just think you are a trouble now.”
You are a problem!
You are a drag!
When you’re a teenager and you don’t know anything, you’re just a burden!
Your grandma and I are really unlucky to end up with you, a loser!
…
Many scenes and whispers flooded into Chi Huang’s mind. His brain became slow and his thinking became confused. His tears stopped, but his eyes became even scarier. He grabbed Chen Shilu’s chin and turned his face to face him.
“Look at me and say it again…” Chi Huang’s lips began to tremble, “…you think I am trouble.”
Chen Shilu frowned and said impatiently: “What have you done yourself, and you don’t know the consequences?Who will bear the losses you have caused me, my company, and my colleagues?
“Yes, it was my own choice to have such a deep relationship with you. I acknowledge my loss. But what about them? They didn’t do anything wrong.
“Chi Huang, please be more mature. You are an adult and you must be responsible for your actions.”
He tried to pull Chi Huang’s hand away, but Chi Huang pressed harder, squeezing his jaw painfully.He stared at him, and the two of them faced off. Chen Shilu was angered by his gaze. He just wanted to end this confrontation quickly.
He originally didn’t expect to be in this situation today. He wanted to have a good time together, but he also knew that this was too difficult for Chi Huang.
If the end requires hurting the other party forcefully, then he has no choice but to say: “Yes, I think you are a trouble now, especially since you are so persistent…”
Before Chen Shilu could finish his words, the windy fist reached the tip of his nose. He subconsciously closed his eyes to block, and at the same time he was horrified that Chi Huang dared to attack him.
The next second, he heard the sound of glass breaking.The expected punch landed not on his face, but on the fish tank behind him.
The glass was shattered all over the ground, and the water was overflowing. The two beautiful fish could no longer dance gracefully in the water. They just dragged their shriveled fins and fluttered on the floor, and their bodies hit the floor tiles, making a “pop” sound.
Chi Huang was holding a fist dripping with blood, and his eyes were as red as tears. He grinded out a few words from between his teeth: “I understand, Chen Shilu, don’t regret it!”
After saying that, he strode over the mess on the ground and left.
Awakened by the sound of the door slamming, Chen Shilu pinched the collar that Chi Huang had just grabbed, suppressed his aching heart, and squatted down.
He frowned to relieve the most intense pain, took a deep breath, and immediately found a container and carefully took the fish on the ground into it.
There was no suitable fish tank for the time being, so the two fish were crowded into a strange small round tank. In addition to being so frightened just now, Chen Shilu didn’t know if they could survive well.It was an unforeseen disaster for them. Looking at the fish surviving the disaster, Chen Shilu was filled with guilt.
Next, he hurriedly cleaned up the living room. If it was too late, the water might reach downstairs.
Absorbing water is relatively easy, but picking up the broken glass shards is troublesome.He carefully mopped the living room floor three times and moved all the furniture that could be moved, but he still kept picking out fine debris from the nooks and crannies.
The last stop was not to clean up, but because he had no strength to continue cleaning.
It was almost dawn. Chen Shilu was very tired and had a headache, but he was not sleepy at all.He dug out a pack of cigarettes from the depths of the cabinet, smoked one, and lay down on the deck chair on the balcony to smoke.
He had quit smoking many times but kept coming back.Chen Shilu himself was puzzled by this matter. Logically speaking, he was not such a person without self-control.This was the longest time he had quit smoking, and just when he thought he had completely quit smoking, he started smoking again.
Bad habits always come out when people are most vulnerable. Chen Shilu always felt that he was strong enough, but it seemed that it was just his illusion.
The cold wind kept pouring in through the cracks in the windows that were opened for ventilation. My body was fine, but my face was a little numb from the cold.
Cold is sometimes wonderful, it can wake people up better than anything else.It’s normal to be vulnerable, it’s normal to feel heartache, and it’s necessary to be sad because he did the right thing.
This is what happens when you do the right thing, and you will be overwhelmed by huge pain for a while.But over time, the benefits of making the right choice will emerge.Just be patient and endure this period, and everything will be fine.
Everything will be fine, just give him some time.
Chen Shilu shook the cigarette ashes into the flower pot at hand.
All the annual flowers and plants on the balcony that should have withered have withered, and the plants that have not withered have stopped growing. Only the bougainvillea that escaped from death has missed the perception of the season and mistook the heating for spring. The champagne-colored flowers bloomed vigorously all over the branches.
