Chapter 407: Madness and Painful Memories after the Heart is Empty
Lu Jingchen watched Jiang Ciyou's resolute back as he left. That back was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart, instantly draining away the love and hope that had originally filled his heart, leaving only endless emptiness and desolation. He felt as if his heart was being fiercely grasped by an invisible big hand, and then twisted into pieces bit by bit. It was a pain that went deep into his bones, making it almost impossible for him to stand.
His eyes slowly moved down and landed on the crumpled check in his hand. This check, at this moment and here, was like a cold and cruel mocker, mercilessly mocking the once passionate feelings between him and Jiang Ciyou. In his opinion, the feelings between them were so pure and precious, forged by countless days and nights of companionship and countless spiritual fusions. How could it be measured by a piece of paper with numbers printed on it? This was simply a blasphemy to their feelings and a trampling on all his efforts.
His fingers tightly grasped the corner of the check, and his knuckles turned white from the force. His body began to tremble slightly, not because of fear, but because of the uncontrollable anger and grief deep in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the numbers on the check, and those numbers gradually became blurred in his eyes, turning into hideous faces, as if mocking his stupidity and naivety.
Suddenly, as if driven by a powerful force, Lu Jingchen raised his arms high and clenched the check in his hand. He used all his strength to tear the check in half. The "hissing" sound was particularly harsh in the silent room, like a declaration of the breakdown of their relationship. However, he did not stop there. He continued to tear the check frantically. Every time he tore it, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcanic eruption.
The fragments fluttered down like snowflakes, scattered at his feet. His eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness. The hatred was not directed at Jiang Ciyou, but at the injustice of fate and anger at the world that made him lose his love. He didn't understand why he gave his all, but got such an ending. He felt like a walker groping alone in the dark. He finally found a ray of light, which was the love that Jiang Ciyou brought him, but now, this ray of light disappeared mercilessly, throwing him back into the endless darkness.
He began to pace frantically in the room, like a wild animal trapped in a cage, full of despair and struggle. His steps were chaotic and heavy, and every step seemed to be stepping on the tip of his own broken heart. His eyes were empty and confused, but from time to time, a glimmer of pain flashed across them.
It was as if there was a projector in his mind, constantly playing every moment he and Jiang Ciyou had together. It was when they were on vacation at the beach, the sun shone on the golden beach, and the waves gently hit the shore. He carefully prepared a surprise for her. He secretly made a huge heart shape with shells and flowers on the beach. When she saw it, the surprise and happy smile lit up his world like the sun. He still remembered the scene in the high-end restaurant, under the soft lights, when he gently cut the steak for her. He carefully placed the cut steak on her plate, and she looked up at him with love and gratitude in her eyes. At that moment, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
And they strolled together in the old town, holding hands and feeling the breeze. They picked interesting little items in the small shops on the street, joked with each other, and their laughter echoed in every corner of the town. Every memory was like a knife, piercing his heart again and again. He thought of their conversations in the middle of the night, sharing their deepest secrets and dreams with each other. He thought that they would keep going like this, realize those dreams together, and spend every beautiful tomorrow together.
But now, all of this has left him. He felt like a fool, giving his heart to Jiang Ciyou without reservation, but being abandoned by her so easily. He didn't understand why she could be so decisive. Was the relationship between them so worthless in her eyes? He kept asking himself if he had done something wrong, if he didn't love her enough.
His thoughts became more and more confused, and his steps became faster and faster. He shuttled back and forth in the room, knocking over chairs and knocking over vases, but he was unaware. The sound of the vase breaking echoed in the room, just like their broken love, irreparable. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and mixed with the tears in his eyes. His throat seemed to be choked by something, and he let out a suppressed whimper.
He walked to the window, put his hands on the windowsill, and looked out of the window. The world outside the window was still so prosperous, people came and went, and cars were flowing. But in his eyes, everything had lost its color, like a lifeless ink painting. He felt that he had been abandoned by this world, and there was only pain and memories in his world.
He recalled the scene of their first meeting, which was in a lively bar. The lights were flashing and the music was deafening. He was sitting alone in the corner, feeling a little depressed. And she was like a ray of light shining into his life. Her beauty and her temperament instantly attracted his attention. Her smile was so bright, shining like a star in the dark. From that moment on, she was the only one in his world.
For her, he changed himself. He was no longer the idle and playful person. He began to study hard and improve his abilities. He learned business knowledge and understood the financial market, just to be able to be her support when she needed it. He learned how to take care of people, how to take good care of her when she was sick, and how to give her strength when she encountered difficulties. He worked hard to make himself better, just to be worthy of her love.
But now, all of this has come to naught. His efforts, his dedication, his love, were all easily discarded by her. He felt that his life had lost its meaning, and he didn't know where to go. His heart was filled with confusion and despair, like a ship that had lost its direction in the vast ocean and could only be at the mercy of the waves.
His body slowly slid down the windowsill and finally collapsed on the ground. He held his head with both hands and buried his face deeply between his knees. His body kept shaking and suppressed sobs came out of his body. He was like a wounded child, bearing this huge pain alone.
