One-man show

Chapter 9

Not long after returning to the apartment, Dr. Jiang called and said that Lu Yunzhou might come back.

"He cares about you." These were the last words he said.

I waited from day to night, and the hour hand went round and round, but he still didn't come back.

I haven't eaten for a long time, and my stomach feels like a fire is burning, but I don't have any desire to eat, and my throat is smoking with thirst.

I began to recall the things between me and Lu Yunzhou unconsciously.

Lu Yunzhou and I grew up together.

My mother passed away very early, and my father was very busy with work at that time, so he left me at Lu's house.

I remember that I was from a scholarly family, but I was far more troublesome than Lu Yunzhou. My father joked that Lu Yunzhou and I had hugged each other wrong.

Lu Yunzhou has been more sensible than me since he was a child, so he is the one who takes care of me most of the time, more than my father.

When I was bullied when I was young, Lu Yunzhou would bully me back, if I made a mistake, Lu Yunzhou would take the blame for me, if I don’t have enough pocket money, ask Lu Yunzhou for...

Since I was a child, I knew that no matter what problem I had, I could just go to Lu Yunzhou.

Later, some girls began to confess their love to Lu Yunzhou. At that time, I began to realize that someone would snatch Lu Yunzhou from me, and that Lu Yunzhou would be nice to another person, just like he was to me, or even better.

Even though I didn't understand what the feelings were at the time, I still willfully refused to allow Lu Yunzhou to fall in love. In exchange, Lu Yunzhou also didn't allow me to fall in love.

I didn't realize my feelings for him until the face of the object of a spring dream turned into Lu Yunzhou.I struggled and despaired, and finally I kissed him in front of that girl.

After the girl ran away crying, Lu Yunzhou stroked his lips, and looked at me with a half-smile: "Boyfriend? Huh?"

In the end I somehow managed to say the "I love you" out of my mouth.

But I don't know what he was thinking, or I never knew what he was thinking.

Lu Yunzhou never took the initiative to explain anything, I can only guess, but I may not be able to guess him.Just like I haven't guessed for more than ten years whether he likes me or not, and why he dated me in the first place.

We have been together for so many years, I have never heard him say "I love you".

So, later when I heard him call behind my back, I heard him say "marriage" and "ring" but I didn't dare to ask him.

I'm afraid of coming up with an answer I can't accept.

I started going out, sitting in the cafe across from the jewelry store he had mentioned on the phone all day long.I drank cup after cup of coffee, and retched uncontrollably in the bathroom after returning home.Sometimes I don't even know what I want to do.

Then I saw him with a woman.

The woman was dressed in professional attire with exquisite makeup, and Lu Yunzhou beside her was very happy.

An uncontrollable inferiority complex arose in my heart.

All of a sudden, I felt very sad, feeling my heart was being held tightly by one hand, and I couldn't breathe due to the pain.

That bully for me, would give me all the pocket money, cook for me, walk through the streets of Ireland behind my back, and only treat me so well, Lu Yunzhou, why doesn't he want me...

I always remember that year when the sky in Ireland was so intoxicatingly blue, Lu Yunzhou staggered on the streets of Ireland with my back on his back. I hugged his neck and said, "It is said that Ireland is a country that does not allow divorce. We will come here in the future." Is it okay to get married?"

"Okay." That's what Lu Yunzhou replied at that time.
