Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 96
byChapter 100
Sure enough, after sending Chi Huang’s things away, Chen Shilu felt much relieved.
Letting go was not the self-deception of being out of sight and out of mind, but the moment of enlightenment when I discovered that Chi Huang had a new cohabitant.
After reviewing the story afterwards, Chen Shilu finally understood that most of his pain was the guilt of Chi Huang crying and begging to keep him, and heartbreakingly saying that he loved him deeply.Once he thought that Chi Huang loved him and was enduring the pain of separation, and that he was the one who was inflicting pain, he also became painful.
So when Chen Shilu saw his cohabitant’s first reaction, he felt angry as if he had been teased, and then he felt relieved.He could finally look at the relationship between him and Chi Huang from the perspective of a bystander, which was indeed a huge wave in his usually peaceful life.But the wave receded, leaving only calm.
There will still be some loss and depression, but this level is already within the range that he can control.
After the company’s new transfer order, Chen Shilu chose to develop markets abroad.
Mr. Kuang persuaded him several more times, and Chen Shilu was determined this time.Being on the board of directors means entering the core of the senior management, but Chen Shilu doesn’t want to fight with his own people, and secondly, he doesn’t want to take the risk of being on the wrong team.In addition to being harder working overseas, the advantages include generous remuneration and decision-making power.
He calculated that according to his own consumption habits, the salary and equity he received before the age of forty could help him achieve a minimum level of financial freedom.It’s just a few more years of wandering in order to save enough capital to retire directly. Thinking about it this way, it seems that this little hardship is nothing.
The departure time is scheduled for the beginning of next month, with more than ten days left.It’s not a short time, but he has a “big family and a big business”, so he has to hurry up to sort it out.
He went to the landlord to cancel the rent.The flowers and plants on the balcony were given to a retired aunt on the first floor of the community who has the same hobby.The saltwater tank with hairtail fish was sold to the same fish keeping enthusiasts at a low price.Most of the books on the bookshelf have been cleared out through gifts and donations.Some clothes and shoes were sold on second-hand platforms, and some were given to friends.And those medieval furniture and accessories are the best sellers. Not only are they sold quickly, but they also make more money than when they were bought.
Only the cameras and lenses he collected were reluctant to part with, and he couldn’t take them all away. He only packed a few commonly used ones and stored the others with Fu Lei.Along with the camera, there are also various records of his.
The originally full three-bedroom apartment became extremely empty after this tidying up.Chen Shilu himself was surprised how he could have so many things.
The packages to be taken away were almost packed and piled next to the sofa.There is only one fish tank, which makes it difficult for him.
The two bettas also had a bad fate.The time Chi Huang smashed the fish tank, Chen Shilu thought they would definitely die.Unexpectedly, after being depressed for a period of time, both of them struggled to survive.In the past few months, she has grown a lot bigger, becoming more elegant and beautiful.
Chen Shilu lamented the tenacity of these creatures, and since he saved them with his own hands, he developed many feelings for them.He checked a lot of information and it was difficult to take these two fish out.I was reluctant to give it away or sell it, so I contacted a netizen who kept a fish group and hoped to spend money to foster it with him.
Today, Chen Shilu has been waiting for this netizen to come to get fish.When it was getting dark and no one came over, he was just about to call the other party when the doorbell rang.
Chen Shilu opened the door, and when he saw that the person coming was not the netizen he was waiting for, but Chi Huang, his hands and feet froze and his pupils trembled slightly.
But he quickly smiled and said in a normal tone, like an old friend: “Long time no see, why did you think of coming to my place? You don’t have to work today?”
Chi Huang didn’t answer.
Above his head was the spotlight in the corridor, and the light poured down, hiding his eyes in the shadow of his eyelashes. Chen Shilu only knew that he was looking at him.
He didn’t expect to see Chi Huang again before leaving.Thinking that their separation was so tragic, time has passed, and everyone should calm down when we see each other now.I don’t know what Chi Huang was looking for. It would be good if he could eliminate some of the resentment at that time.
It’s just that Chi Huang looked at it for a long time. The smile on Chen Shilu’s face began to freeze and the atmosphere became awkward.He touched his face: “Keep staring, is there something on my face?”
Chi Huang’s Adam’s apple slipped: “Can I go in?”
“Come in.” Chen Shilu closed the door, “The house is dirty, you don’t need to change your shoes.”
Only then did Chi Huang notice the empty house and the mountains of packages. He frowned and felt a little flustered: “You want to move?”
“Well, the company is on assignment. I’ll be leaving in two days.”
“Where to go?”
“Europe.”
When he heard that Chen Shilu was not moving to another place, but was leaving this city and this country to go to Europe on the other side of the world, Chi Huang’s whole brain was about to explode, and his ears began to buzz and tinnitus began.
Amidst the ringing in his ears, he vaguely heard Chen Shilu say: “I was leaving, and there was no place to put your things, so I sent them to you. Shouldn’t I have left anything behind?”
What to do, what to do, Chen Shilu will leave in two days, and he hasn’t started to do anything yet, he just had an idea.It would take some time to plan to put this idea into practice, but he didn’t have time.Chi Huang panicked at the thought of having to die alone in the end.He glanced towards the kitchen, what about using a knife directly?First establish the law of Chen Shi and then end it on your own?
He immediately rejected this tragic method.If he really raised a knife against Chen Shilu, Chen Shilu was such a clear-cut person of love and hatred, and I am afraid that his hatred for him would be engraved into his soul.Besides, there is a time difference, so they cannot be considered together.
Chen Shilu noticed Chi Huang looking at the kitchen, and thought that at this time, he might have made a mistake: “Did you miss dinner, so I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles?”
He couldn’t let him find out what he was planning, so Chi Huang nodded.
The ready-made meat sauce and noodles were made by Chen Shilu for dinner tomorrow morning.There was only minced meat and noodles. Before he left, he had already cleared out the excess food in the refrigerator.
In just a few minutes, a bowl of hot pork noodles was placed in front of Chi Huang.Chen Shilu found the water cup Chi Huang used before and poured him a glass of coconut water.
When Chi Huang took his first bite of noodles, he couldn’t taste anything, only his nose felt sour.
Chen Shilu is still so good.
He had ruined his life and screwed up his work in that way. When they separated, Chen Shilu simply hated him for being annoying and disgusted with him, but when they met again, Chen Shilu forgot about his bad deeds and treated him very well.
So why is all this happening?He didn’t understand at all. He would rather Chen Shilu remained indifferent and resentful towards him forever.
Seeing that Chi Huang’s whole state was not right, Chen Shilu understood it very well.He also saw Chi Huanian’s exposure on the Internet and the public attack on Chi Huang.
“On the Internet, there is a crowd effect. If a hundred people scold you, the sound will be unbearable. But in reality, a hundred people are just a drop in the ocean and nothing. During this period, you should stay online less and focus on life.”
Chi Huang raised his eyes: “You know it too.”
“Yeah. Actually, I thought about the risks of Chi Huanian at that time, and I thought about mentioning it to Zhu Changyi, but I felt that it was your privacy and it was inappropriate to talk about it. If only I had warned you and Zhu Changyi earlier.”
Chi Huang didn’t even notice that he curled up his lips: “It’s not your fault, why are you still feeling guilty?”
After all, he was helping Chi Huang think about these things at that time, and it was indeed his mistake to ignore such a big surprise: “Don’t think too much about it. As long as the limelight of public opinion is over, it will be fine.”
“It won’t get better. Zhu Changyi said that the public cannot accept the status of ‘illegitimate son’ and he wants to terminate the contract with me.” Chi Huang lowered his eyelids and just stirred the noodles in the bowl.
“No, it’s not your fault. Besides, after the first wave of fanatical emotions has vented, and everyone gradually returns to rationality, they will soon discover the weak position of your mother in this relationship, and the truth that Chi Huanian wants to blackmail you.”
“Do you also think that all this is my parents’ fault? It’s because of their selfishness that I have this despised status.”
“I think there is no conflict between their failure to give you an ordinary identity and their love for you. People are very complicated, and everyone has their own choices in life. You shouldn’t ask others this question, and you shouldn’t listen to what others say. What you feel yourself is your real answer.”
Chi Huang finished a large bowl of noodles and even drank the soup.
Whether it was the effect of the hot noodle soup or Chen Shilu’s words, his violent emotions and the unbearable pain were all smoothed away at once.
My brain, which had been spinning all the time, suddenly became quiet, even a little empty.He subconsciously carried the bowl to the kitchen to wash it. Chen Shilu was still sitting in the living room and did not stop him.
Hot water poured over the back of his hand, and he carefully scrubbed the beautiful glaze of the soup bowl, which made his nose feel sore for a while.
He didn’t know, he thought it was good like this, eating a bowl of hot noodle soup and saying some words that were neither salty nor bland. Everything around him was so peaceful and peaceful, making him feel at ease inside.Everything is so good.
He looked at the knife on the shelf, which shone brightly white under the light, clearly making people feel so frightened and frightened.Chen Shilu was so good, so good that it made him want to cry. He actually wanted to use something so cold… No, Chi Huang closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, they became as cold as a blade.
No matter how kind Chen Shilu was to him at this time, no matter how many gentle words he said to him, he would still let him go in the end.The short-term peace and happiness I have now will be lost soon.What followed must have been more intense and unbearable pain. At that time, Chen Shilu was already living a happy life on the other side of the world.
“A bowl hasn’t been washed yet?”
Chi Huang turned his head and saw Chen Shilu who had arrived beside him at some point. Then he looked at the back of his hand that had been reddened by the hot water: “It’s washed.”
“Turn off the water after washing. Don’t waste it.”
Chi Huang turned off the faucet and suddenly had an idea.
He walked up to Chen Shilu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: “Chen Shilu, this is the last time I come to see you…”
“Yes.” Chen Shilu raised his eyes to look at him, looking calmly waiting for his next words.
Seeing his neither salty nor bland expression, Chi Huang’s heart suddenly stung, and he made up his mind: “…the mountain road to Gaofengling has been repaired, let’s go see the stars one last time.”
