After seeing off Sheng Mingxi, Lu Haizhou called Huo Yifei and told him that Sheng Mingxi was leaving in the afternoon.
Huo Yifei was dubious and asked people to watch whether Sheng Mingxi was really gone.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the airport that Sheng Mingxi had boarded the plane.
Although Huo Yifei didn't understand why Sheng Mingxi left suddenly, but now that he was gone, they didn't need to be so nervous.
In the evening, Lu Qingqing returned home, and Lu Haizhou said that Sheng Mingxi had sent him a piece of his grandma's last words.
Turning on the recording, there was a sound of grandma coughing, and Lu Qingqing's nose felt sore.
"Qingqing, Haizhou, when you hear this recording, grandma is no longer here. Don't be sad. Grandma is old and it will be a matter of time before she leaves. Don't blame Mingxi. He has tried his best. He asked me to
I accepted this treatment because I wanted to cure my disease and let me live a little longer, but unfortunately... cough cough cough... Grandma really wants to see you again and hold your child... cough cough cough..."
The recording stopped here.
Lu Qingqing cried until she burst into tears.
"Sister, please stop crying, it's not good for the baby." Lu Haizhou sighed, "Grandma left in a hurry, otherwise she could see the baby you gave birth to."
Outside the gate.
Sheng Mingxi has been sitting in the car for half an hour.
The person he longed for was right in front of him, but he hesitated.
"Master Xi, when are we going in?" Cheng Mo couldn't guess what Sheng Mingxi was thinking.
It's obvious that someone is inside, why don't you go in?
Sheng Mingxi took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, but his hand shook so hard several times that he couldn't light it.
Cheng Mo had never seen such a humble Sheng Mingxi. In his impression, if the sky fell, his young master would not blink an eye. But for his wife, he became less and less like himself.
Cheng Mo took the lighter distressedly and lit a cigarette for him.
As night falls, there are more and more people on the road.
Tonight is Halloween, and residents of the small town near Lu Qingqing’s home have put on various Halloween costumes and gone out.
Some were dressed up as scary ghosts, some were wearing vampire masks, and some children were carrying jack-o-lanterns everywhere asking for candy.
Soon the whole road was congested.
At this time, Lisa said that there were a group of children outside the door asking for candy.
Lu Qingqing handed the candies prepared in advance to Lisa and asked her to distribute them to the children.
Lisa came back not long after she went out, followed by a group of children wearing small cloaks and carrying jack-o-lanterns. The older ones were seven or eight years old and the younger ones were five or six years old. They came to thank Lu Qingqing for the candy he gave them.
"Sister, will you go out and play with us?" Several bold children came over and held Lu Qingqing's hand.
Being held by the fleshy little hands, Lu Qingqing couldn't bear to refuse and followed them to the gate.
At this time, she saw a man wearing a black cloak and a bull's head mask walking towards her.
A strong sense of familiarity hit her instantly, and her heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
The next second, she turned around and ran, but the man blocked her way.
Facing those familiar eyes, Lu Qingqing felt a deep sense of powerlessness and anger welling up from the bottom of her heart.
"Get out of the way!" Lu Qingqing glared at Sheng Mingxi.
"Qingqing, can you listen to my explanation?"
"Explain what? Can your explanation change the fact that you gave up on me, or can it make my grandma come back to life?"
Lu Qingqing pushed Sheng Mingxi away hard.
The next second, his wrist was grabbed.
Sheng Mingxi's deep voice was begging in despair, "Can you give me another chance?"
Lu Qingqing's heart trembled.
"Can a dead person be resurrected?"
Sheng Mingxi's body shook and a tear fell.
Did you miss it after all?
Slowly taking off his mask, Sheng Mingxi let go of Lu Qingqing's hand.
Lu Qingqing walked into the door without looking back.
At this time, Cheng Mo came over and said, "Master Xi, what did your wife say?"
"Let's go back." Sheng Mingxi did not look back. He was afraid that if he took one more look, he would lose control.
Lu Qingqing entered the house, and Lu Haizhou greeted him.
"Sister, is it fun outside?" Lu Haizhou saw that Lu Qingqing's face was not very good, "What's wrong with you, sister, what happened?"
"I just met Sheng Mingxi at the door."
"What? He didn't leave?" Lu Haizhou was surprised, "Then what did he tell you?"
"He wanted to explain to me what happened before." Lu Qingqing didn't want to say more, "I want to go back to the room and be quiet."
That night, Sheng Mingxi was extremely drunk in the hotel room.
When Fu Zixuan came to see him, she found him lying on the carpet in the room with a wine bottle in his arms.
"Miss Fu, the young master has drunk too much. Why don't you come find him again before he wakes up?" Cheng Mo said.
Fu Zixuan just found out that Sheng Mingxi came to the United States. She wanted to take him out to play on Halloween tonight, but she didn't expect him to be drunk like this.
In her impression, Sheng Mingxi seldom drank alcohol, especially for him to drink like this. It was simply unimaginable.
"Why did he drink so much?" Fu Zixuan asked.
"He's been in a bad mood lately," Cheng Mo said.
Fu Zixuan obviously didn't believe it. Even in the days when Lu Qingqing's body was found, he hadn't seen him so decadent.
At this time, Sheng Mingxi suddenly sat up. He thought Fu Zixuan was Lu Qingqing, "Qingqing, why are you here?"
Fu Zixuan was startled, "Brother Mingxi, I am Zixuan, I am not Lu Qingqing."
"Aren't you Lu Qingqing?" Sheng Mingxi struggled to stand up, "Then what are you doing here? I don't want to see anyone but Lu Qingqing."
Sheng Mingxi staggered around, and Fu Zixuan quickly came over to help him, but was pushed away by him.
"Don't touch me, Qingqing will be unhappy if you see me."
"Brother Mingxi, what's wrong with you today? Lu Qingqing has passed away. Is it worth it for you to go through such trouble for a dead man?" Fu Zixuan was very angry when Sheng Mingxi pushed her away.
"Say it again!" Sheng Mingxi's eyes were so cold that it frightened Fu Zixuan.
"I said Lu Qingqing is gone, why are you still tormenting yourself like this?" Fu Zixuan's momentum suddenly weakened.
"Are you wishing she was gone?" Sheng Mingxi narrowed his eyes and pointed at the door, "Go away, I don't want to see you."
Fu Zixuan's eyes turned red with grievance.
"Miss Fu, the young master has drunk too much. Come back tomorrow if you have something to do." Cheng Mo advised.
Fu Zixuan finally held back her tears and exited the room.
As she went downstairs, she called Fu Qinian.
"Brother, where has Brother Mingxi been these past few days?" Fu Zixuan asked.
"He went to the Lianda Rehabilitation Center on the first day, but he didn't stay long and left midway."
"Why did he leave?"
"I think I saw someone, why are you asking?" Fu Qinian asked.
"It's nothing. I just came to see him. He was drunk. He always felt a little abnormal, so I just asked him."
Early the next morning, Fu Zixuan came to the Lianda Rehabilitation Center. She wanted to know who Sheng Mingxi had seen to make him look like this.
