Chapter 77:

Shen Chen's car was parked in the underground parking lot.
The parking lot is very large, with no windows, and no light from outside can penetrate. Incandescent lamps were installed on the ceiling to light up the road. But because of the large space, it still looks dim.
According to the license plate number given by the other party, Du You quickly found the target vehicle. The door was closed tightly and the lights were on inside the car. But there is a privacy film on the windows, so you can't see the inside.
Du You approached, before he had time to knock on the window, the window in the direction of the driver's seat rolled down, revealing a handsome face behind him. It's just that there is low air pressure all over his body, and his expression is visible to the naked eye.
When the man saw Du You, he stopped talking. In the end only said one sentence: "Get in the car."
Du You took the co-pilot. After getting in the car, I heard soothing light music playing in the car.
Du You: "Can you drive?"
Shen Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was asking about his injury.
What we are going to talk about today is not suitable for bringing a driver. So despite the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he still came by himself.
Shen Chen: "It's okay."
According to the doctor, it doesn't matter if you don't open a long distance.
After answering this sentence, he fell silent.
Originally, playing music was to relieve tension. But now no matter how soothing the music, it will only make his nerves tense.
After Du You got in the car, this feeling became more obvious.
He reached out to turn off the music, and the car returned to silence. A warm yellow light fell on the cheeks of the two, one expressionless and the other silent.
Shen Chen: "I'm here..."
Apologetic.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
I have done psychological construction for a day and there is no problem.
If you do not clarify your thoughts at this point, you will definitely regret it for a lifetime.
It must be said.
Seeing Shen Chen's silence for a long time, Du You withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead.
There is always no one in the parking lot. Whenever I got down, I could only see cold cars standing side by side, looking at each other in the dark.
Although Shen Chen took the initiative to look for him, Du You just happened to have something to say.
Du You: "I'm leaving soon."
Shen Chen was still immersed in the complex entangled feelings. Hearing these words, he suddenly turned his head to look over.
Perceiving the line of sight, Du You also looked back.
For some reason, Shen Chen avoided his sight again when he came into contact with those deep eyes like a black pool.
He said with a hoarse voice: "Really."
After a pause, he asked, "Are you going abroad?"
Du You shook his head: "No, I want to leave this world."
If ordinary people listened to this, they might think that this person wanted to commit suicide.
This thought also flashed through Shen Chen's mind, but he immediately reacted to what the other party meant.
Du You didn't belong to this world originally. Leaving is the so-called "passing through".
But why do you want to go back suddenly.
Without waiting for him to ask questions, Du You explained.
Du You: "Remember what I said to you in the first place-if you continue to contact Xiao Tiantian, you will die."
Shen Chen nodded silently.
Of course he remembered it, and he was unforgettable.
However, Du You also told him later that Xiao Tiantian had left this world and there would be no more problems.
Why is it brought up again now?
What went wrong?
Du You: "There is something wrong. The point is not on Xiao Tiantian, but as long as we stay here, we will ‘melt into one’."
Like when he told Ryan this morning, he repeated the same content to Shen Chen.
"However, this is your world. So you don't care." Du You said.
Shen Chen remained silent for a long time.
Those words are not difficult to understand.
Although it is unbelievable, but after experiencing so many incidents personally, he no longer doubts what Du You said.
It's just that in his expectation, he never thought that Du You would leave this world.
This is not just going abroad.
If he still stays here, even if there is a gap between the two lives, he can still find each other and still have a chance to recover. But once Du You left, these things were completely empty talk.
After the other party left-for those who stayed in this world, it seemed to be not much different from death.
Du You clarified the situation, but did not hear a reply, and asked, "Are you listening."
However, the man just hung his head and folded his hands together, as if lost.
Du You: "?"
He is a little strange.
He actually didn't quite understand why Shen Chen would suddenly find himself, and what else he wanted to say. Because he felt that he angered the other person, and the other person hated him, he probably wouldn't want to meet.
Du You thought for a while and asked: "You are looking for me because of the company?"
Shen Chen is a workaholic. Except for official business, I probably wouldn't want to come to him.
Du You took out his mobile phone: "I will let Assistant Xiao come down."
It may be faster to communicate with an assistant than to talk to him.
But when he was about to dial the number, his wrist was grabbed.
"No."
Shen Chen still hung his head and said with difficulty, "It's not because of official business."
Then, Du You felt the strength of holding his wrist increased a bit.
"……Sorry."
He heard Shen Chen's apology.
Du You was startled and asked, "I'm sorry?"
Why should I apologize.
Shen Chen raised his eyes, his eyes were already flushed. Maybe it was because I didn't sleep all night, or maybe it was some other feeling.
When the first sentence is spoken, it seems that it is not so difficult to say the content behind.
Shen Chen stared at Du You's eyes firmly: "I shouldn't have said that kind of thing yesterday. Also before..."
"In fact, I didn't think that way."
Du You: "..."
Du You: "I don't understand."
Shen Chen pulled the corner of his mouth. Of course the other party would not understand, after all, he never said a word of truth from beginning to end.
He let go of Du You's hand.
"I've been putting on airs. I don't understand the questions you asked me before."
"I really don't want to hear what you ask, but it's not because I hate you."
He clenched his fist and slowly loosened it, "I just don't want to hear you talk about other people's topics when I am alone with you."
Du You put down his phone: "Because it's impolite?"
"No." Shen Chen immediately denied.
Then he frowned slightly, and said, "Because, I might...like you."
He dared not look at Du You's expression.
If it is said that the confession of others carries a beautiful vision for the future, then what he said is just like a last word before his death.
He knew that Du You would never accept it.
He just wanted to apologize for what happened before, and then tell the other person his feelings, nothing more.
If placed before, Shen Chen would probably dismiss such a thing. Knowing that the love affair will fail, he confessed to the other party, just letting himself be caught in a vulnerable situation.
But now, he has also become a person who once would laugh at.
Then he heard the other party's reply.
"Thank you."
The tone was neither joy nor sarcasm, as usual, without ups and downs.
Du You paused: "Sorry, I didn't see it."
Shen Chen: "..."
Shen Chen: "I know." He sighed, "You don't need to apologize."
Of course Du You couldn't tell. He has never shown a similar attempt, what's more, the other party is really slow.
But he didn't expect that the other party would apologize for this kind of thing.
He has been pretending, he has been stubborn, but he doesn't want the other party to see his bad side.
As a result, from beginning to end, what he did has been poor.
He always let Du You see his shame.
Xiao Tiantian was like that back then, even if he got rid of his manipulation, he still did.
Du You looked at Shen Chen and suddenly said, "Are you going to eat dessert?"
Shen Chen's body stiffened and turned to look over.
Du You asked again: "Go."
Shen Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after a while, he closed it again.
Then, he leaned his arm on the steering wheel and buried his head.
After a while, a low-pitched voice came from the bottom: "Are you caring about me?"
Du You: "You don't seem to be in good shape."
Shen Chen was silent for a moment, his head still resting on his arm, and he looked over and said, "I am in front of you, it seems that it always does.
Mature, stable and reliable. This is the evaluation of him by people inside the company and partners. He has been devoted to work in order to maintain this image.
But in front of Du You, these labels were torn to pieces without mercy.
As the president of the Shen Group and as a man, he hopes to show a responsible side and attract Du You's attention. But always backfired.
For that ridiculous face, he kept saying things against his will.
Shen Chen: "I don't want you to see my embarrassed look."
He pulled the corners of his mouth, "But it seems that in front of you, I would only do shameful things."
Du You looked down at Shen Chen.
He saw this man with this expression for the first time. It was like a hedgehog had put away the spikes, leaving only fragility.
In his eyes, Shen Chen is a powerful person.
Obviously, he is just an ordinary person, but he can get rid of the "drama error correction" on his own; every time the company has a meeting, the remarks made are also very clear. Compared to his strokes, Shen Chen relies on his own strength to control the company.
Although the other party doesn't seem to think so.
Du You: "Why do you feel ashamed?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the center control panel. The screen is still on, marking the name of the light music.
Du You: "I don't think so."
Shen Chen raised his head slightly when he heard the words.
Du You turned his head and looked over again, and the two of them faced each other.
Time seems to stand still at this moment, time has stopped flowing. Only the slight breathing of each other can be heard.
Du You: "I think you are great."
"..."
Shen Chen suddenly didn't know what expression to show.
He always knew that although the other party was cold on the surface, it was actually very gentle. And compared to myself, I can always express my inner thoughts more uncompromisingly.
Even if he can't understand the surrounding atmosphere occasionally, even this dullness makes him...very tempted.
It's a pity that after so long wasted, he actually expressed his feelings at the last minute.
Although he looked down on those children. But those people were very active, and at this point, he had already lost.
Perhaps the ending has been predetermined from the very beginning.
Shen Chen was silent for a long time before saying: "When will you leave?"
Du You: "One more month."
This is the time the system says.
It is April. He has to leave before the end of May at the latest. The same is true for others.
A month.
Shen Chen chewed this number repeatedly.
The time was shorter than he thought.
"I know."
Du You: "In addition, there are companies."
When I crossed over, I was alone. If I leave, I don’t know what the company will become. Did he disappear because of his departure, or still exist.
Du You: "I will ask a lawyer to go through the formalities. If the company does not disappear, hand it over to you."
Shen Chen: "...good."
He didn't know what state of mind he said this sentence. Although Du You was still there, she even sat beside him. He felt so far away.
Shen Chen: "Will you come back again."
Du You shook his head: "I don't know."
After all, he himself does not have the ability to cross.
Shen Chen folded his hands, his five fingers couldn't help pinching tighter and tighter: "I will help you manage the company..."
He said with difficulty the second half sentence: "If you will come back, I will give it back to you."
Du You: "Thank you."
Everything that should be explained seems to be finished. The two were silent for a while, neither of them spoke, just sitting in the car.
Du You: "Go for dessert?"
The atmosphere has always been heavy, and Shen Chen's expression is equally serious.
Hearing the news that Du You was leaving, he couldn't be happy anyway. But when I heard this question again, I still smiled.
Shen Chen: "No."
He refused Du You's invitation.
This time, it was not because of face or unnecessary self-esteem. Just because, if he continues to stay with Du You, he is afraid that he will break down emotionally.
Even after going to the dessert shop, Du You sat opposite him, and the two ate snacks together as before. But I am afraid that once I think that the person in front of me is about to leave-and then never comes back.
Once thought of this matter, infinite suffering rushed into my heart.
Shen Chen: "No need."
At least for now, he can still bear it.
"Ok."
Seeing Shen Chen's refusal, Du You said nothing more, "Then I'm leaving."
He got out of the car.
The car door closed, making a "bang" sound, echoing in this vast and empty underground parking lot.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Shen Chen watched the figure of the man walk far and smaller through the front window.
Shen Chen put his hand on the steering wheel, ready to start the engine. He glanced over the rearview mirror inadvertently, and then stopped.
The dim sum bought this morning is still in the back seat. He forgot to send it out.
This is just a small matter, the big deal will be given another day, and I can find an excuse to see Du You again.
As it should be.
But Shen Chen rushed out of the car and quickly opened the rear door.
As if forgetting the most important thing.
The broken leg stepped on the concrete floor. Because he didn't pay attention when he jumped out of the car, his force was heavily pressed on the wound.
Shen Chen frowned in pain, but didn't care about it. He took the paper bag out and chased Du You.
The other party hasn't gone too far yet, and can vaguely see the figure.
Shen Chen bumped his foot and limped after him. Although the speed is not fast, the opponent is only walking at a constant speed after all, so he quickly narrowed the distance.
At this time, he was near the elevator.
When the distance got closer, Shen Chen wanted to call the other party out loud, but the person in front suddenly stopped.
Then, a figure walked out from behind the car.
It happened to be the blind spot of Shen Chen's perspective.
If it hadn't been for that person to show up, he wouldn't find him at all.
He had only seen this young man who appeared suddenly, but he was deeply impressed. Not only because of that too handsome face, but also because of the scary look in his eyes.
Having worked for many years, Shen Chen admits that he has met many different people. Hypocritical, cunning, smiling, angry... and so on.
But there has never been a person's eyes like that person, even with a smile on his face, his eyes are full of coldness, no emotion can be seen.
As far as that person is concerned, it is not so much that he underestimates other people, as it is that he is completely ignored. The look in people's eyes is like looking at a tiny ant.
But only when you see Du You, will you show that almost crazy paranoia.
When I met last year, Shen Chen only felt that this person was very threatening, and didn't think about it in detail.
But looking at it now, this person's mood is more aggressive than it was then.
Shen Chen didn't realize he was staying in place.
The man saw him too, but only glanced at him, and then looked away indifferently and looked at Du You.
Then he took Du You's hand and led it into the elevator with a smile.
When the elevator door was about to close, Shen Chen reacted and wanted to chase. As soon as he took a step, the paper bag was caught by the car next to him. It tears easily when you apply force.
The gift box containing the snacks fell out and fell to the ground. The lid of the box was opened, and the beautifully packaged snacks popped up and scattered all over the floor.
"Ding--"
The elevator doors were closed and the elevator went up.
With the broken paper bag in his hand, Shen Chen looked up at the number above the elevator door. The bright red numbers kept jumping up.
Standing on the spot for a while, he squatted down, picked up the snack that fell on the ground, and stuffed it back into the gift box.
But for some reason, the fingers couldn't help shaking.
I was in a hurry, I just stuffed one in, because it was irregularly placed and other snacks were squeezed out.
He kept repeating the actions of picking up and putting down, like a robot. In the end, I finally stuffed all the spilled snacks back and closed the lid.
However, the cover is not tight.
"Why can't I put it in."
Because the snacks are stuffed in a mess, one side is empty, and another high pile is piled up.
But now, even the most obvious reason, he didn't understand the general, he just pressed the lid down hard. Due to excessive strength, the cracking sound of crackers can be heard.
"..."
Shen Chen finally gave up this clumsy move, raised his hand and covered his entire face.
Du You turned around and looked in the direction of the elevator door. However, because the company elevator is not transparent, nothing can be seen.
He seemed to have heard someone chasing him just now, and when he was about to look back, he was pulled into the elevator by Qin Ge.
Why is this person here.
He was puzzled and looked at the young man behind him.
Qin Ge saw Du You's doubts and explained with a smile: "Because I saw you entering the elevator."
So are you down together?
Du You thought so and asked, "You have been here?"
This time, Qin Ge avoided answering: "Brother is leaving?"
Du You: "What."
Qin Ge: "Leave this world."
