My 26-year-old female tenant

Chapter 19: Sky City

Jian Wei looked at Xiang Chen with an expression that nobody could understand. Xiang Chen took out a delicate gift box that seemed to have been prepared for a long time from his pocket, then opened it, revealing a crystal necklace inlaid with diamonds.

The lighting engineer turned off the lights in the hall, and a beam of spotlight highlighted Xiang Chen and Jian Wei, making them look so bright, while I already felt my existence fading in the dimness.

"This crystal and diamond necklace was designed by the best jewelry designer in the country. There is only one in the world. I gave it a name... True Love, representing my most sincere and pure love for you, just like diamonds and crystals. Give me a chance to put it on for you personally... Okay?"

I wanted to tell Xiang Chen that he was wrong. Anyone with money can give a woman a crystal and diamond necklace, but the sincerity and purity derived from love come from the heart and do not need the help of any material.

But how many women would believe such a pure truth? The shine of the diamonds has already blinded their eyes.

I didn't refute Xiang Chen after all, but just sealed myself in the city in my heart, shrinking smaller and smaller...

All the people on the scene were moved by Xiang Chen, and they encouraged Jian Wei to accept Xiang Chen's confession with applause.

Jian Wei looked into the dark corner and finally nodded in silence, so the applause and cheers became more intense. Xiang Chen, filled with excitement, put the necklace on Jian Wei. At this moment, a man and a woman got engaged at the wedding of Yuan Fang and Yan Yan, adding joy to the joy!

At this moment, except for me, no one else remembered the rainy dusk when we agreed to take a set of wedding photos with the theme of "Joy in Silence."

...

The wedding banquet is coming to an end in the boiling crowd. The guests who came to the wedding say goodbye to each other, and I walk out of the hotel alone with a wobbly step.

The sunshine outside the hotel is really good, and it's so dazzling that I can't open my eyes. I hold a pillar beside me, squinting at the blue sky and white clouds. In the drunken dizziness, I seem to see the city in my heart flying into the sky with the floating air, blending with the blue sky and white clouds, gradually becoming crystal clear, and there is no trace of loneliness and pain!

Yan Yan and Yuan Fang, wearing a wedding dress, held me on the left and right.

Yan Yan said to me with an apology, "Zhao Yang, I'm sorry we really didn't know that Xiang Chen would confess to Jian Wei at our wedding... You must feel bad, I'm sorry!"

"Ha ha... I'm not sad, how can I be sad?... By the way, have you seen the city in my heart flying in the sky, hiding in the sunlight and crystal clear..." I mumbled indistinctly, and took out the transparent film from the cigarette box, covering my eyes to look for the city in the sky.

Yan Yan and Yuan Fang looked at each other, and Yuan Fang took away the film in my hand and said to me, "Don't talk drunk... I'll find a driver to take you back."

"There's no need to be so... Troublesome, I can go back by myself, I'll take a taxi." I said, shaking off the hands of Yan Yan and Yuan Fang, and walked to the street.

Staggering, I saw Jian Wei helping the drunk Xiang Chen coming from the other side. She took out the car key from Xiang Chen's pocket while walking, and then opened the door of the black Range Rover. Yuan Fang and Yan Yan hurriedly went to help Jian Wei put Xiang Chen into the car.

In fact, I'm not sad to see such a picture. At least I can still stand hard, and Xiang Chen is already drunk and unconscious. This time, he is the one who is down, he is the grandson, I am the master, a master in loneliness and pain!

I stood in place, watching Jian Wei start the car, and then drove away with Xiang Chen towards the prosperity of the city.

...

In the afternoon, I sat on the green belt by the moat and smoked one cigarette after another. Finally, I ran out of cigarettes. I closed my eyes and lay down, feeling the autumn afternoon wind blowing past me.

Even after drinking too much, the extreme pain in my heart actually didn't make me faint, and the pain was magnified several times in the drunken sobriety.

In the past, she wrote "wait" heavily on the car window, and today she nodded silently to accept Xiang Chen's confession. The two pictures alternated in my mind, 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 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 the city in the sky.

I took out my mobile phone with the remaining strength, found the most recent call record in the call record, and dialed it immediately.

After a long time, the phone was connected, and Mi Cai's firm voice came from it. 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're free now, hurry to the moat."

My seemingly nonsensical request made Mi Cai even angrier, and she asked in a heavy tone, "Why should I go?"

"Come quickly to stop me, I want to jump into the river, I will really jump!"

Without waiting for Mi Cai's response, I threw the phone into the moat. I was not deceiving Mi Cai. Driven by alcohol and pain, I became numb and really wanted to pursue that crystal-clear city in the sky.

A warm breeze blew comfortably, and before I could take a step, the accumulated alcohol suddenly surged up. Looking up at the dizzying blue sky, my body suddenly softened and I fell to the ground and passed out.

...

When I woke up, it was already very dark, and the street lights on both sides of the moat had been lit, reflecting in the river and swaying with the water waves. The honking of cars on the shore road from time to time made the blurred world suddenly become real under the dual stimulation of vision and hearing.

I had a splitting headache, but I looked blankly at the stars in the sky that were competing to twinkle...

A comfortable feminine fragrance drifted into my nostrils with the autumn night breeze. I glanced over and saw Mi Cai sitting beside me, and my body was covered with her coat.

I sat up from the ground, and Mi Cai just noticed that I had woken up.

"You're awake."

"How did you come?"

We almost said to each other at the same time.

Another gust of night wind blew, and the maple leaves that had turned yellow fell, dropping into the river not far away, drifting with the current under the accompaniment of the starlight.

We both looked at the river, and after a while, Mi Cai answered my question: "I came to see if you're dead."

"What are you talking about dying?" I asked in confusion, having already forgotten about the call to Mi Cai before I passed out.

"So you're deceiving me again, right?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" I exclaimed.

Mi Cai patiently said to me: "You called me at noon and said you wanted to jump into the river. If you still have doubts, you can check your phone's call record."

"Let me check." I said, starting to feel in my pocket.

"Eh! Where's my phone?"

Looking at the river again, I finally remembered that I had impulsively thrown my phone into the moat, and with that, my memory was triggered, and I remembered that I had indeed made a crazy call to Mi Cai at noon saying that I wanted to jump into the moat...

Feeling a bit guilty, I said to Mi Cai: "I'm sorry, I drank too much at noon, what I said was drunk talk, it's really not deceiving you."

"You scum, a dishonest liar!" Mi Cai scolded without any mercy.

"Don't you curse me like that, okay?" I paused and then said: "It's just jumping into the river, I'll make it up to you now, it's not too late, right?"

"Go ahead and jump." Mi Cai looked at the river and said to me.

"Jump I will." I said, walking towards the river, and with one leap, I stood on the railing by the river.
