Chapter 52 (He Won't Come Back...)
"What, why?" Huo Zhenyu looked at Huo Chen's face in a daze, his mind was stuck for a moment.
Huo Chen sneered, and when he laughed, he hooked the wound on the corner of his lips, and his brows couldn't help but frowned. Yu Li, who was stunned, was the first to react and rushed to them and forced them to separate them. He looked at Huo Chen with a nervous look: "How are you? Does it hurt?"
"...Little Fish." Huo Zhenyu called her in a daze.
Yu Li paused for a moment and looked at him with a trembling trembling.
"He is not me..." Huo Zhenyu's voice was slightly hoarse. After saying this, his mind gradually became clear and he immediately grabbed her hand, "He is not me, I am Huo Zhenyu! You recognized the wrong person!"
Yes, she would hold hands with him and kiss him after admitting the wrong person. After all, even he himself was in a moment of trance. She must have recognized the wrong person and she could not betray him.
"I don't……"
Huo Zhenyu completely ignored Yu Li's explanation and grabbed her wrist and was about to pull it behind him. However, Huo Chen grabbed her other hand with a cold face, and the three of them suddenly became stalemate.
"Who are you?" Huo Zhenyu stared at Huo Chen. His face was flushed with an unnatural blush, but it was neutralized by the dim color of the street lights. "Why does it have the same face as me? No, I should ask why you want to make my face?"
Yu Li bit her lip: "Zhen Yu, listen to me..."
"Let her go! No matter who you are, stay away from us." Huo Zhenyu didn't listen to her at all, but was just hostile to the man who had the same face as him.
Huo Chen sneered: "I should say this to you."
Huo Zhenyu's eyes were dark and he no longer talked nonsense to him. He just increased the strength to grab Yu Li. Huo Chen's face looked ugly and he also held Yu Li's wrist. The two of them seemed to be wrestling, and they wanted to pull Yu Li in their direction.
Yu Li was regarded as a rope for tug of war by two adult men, and both arms were clenched to the point of pain. Finally, Huo Chen couldn't help but let go of her hand when he heard the sound. Huo Zhenyu also wanted to let go, but he was one step too late. Yu Li crashed into his arms due to inertia.
Huo Zhenyu immediately held her shoulder and protected her in her arms.
"Zhenyu, listen to my explanation. He is not someone else, he is..." Yu Li stumblingly explained to Huo Zhenyu, deliberately ignoring the two arms that were still in pain. Huo Zhenyu ignored them at all and just stared at Huo Chen's face.
"Why are you pretending to be me and lie to her?" Huo Zhenyu asked in a hoarse voice.
Huo Chen glanced at Yu Li who was held in his arms, and after confirming that he didn't care about her, he spoke lightly: "I didn't pretend to be you, I'm you."
Huo Zhenyu sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"...What he said was true." Yu Li whispered.
Huo Zhenyu was stunned when she heard her words, and looked at her in disbelief for a while: "Do you know we are not the same person?"
"You are the same person... just people at different times." Yu Li explained with difficulty.
Huo Zhenyu looked at her in a daze. The speculation just now was completely overturned. She could tell them clearly that they were not the same person, but she still kissed him, the man who had the same face as her.
Perhaps because his face was so scary, Yu Li explained intermittently with red eyes, saying how she was reborn and what mood she found him. As a result, she found out that he was also here in 2020 after falling in love.
The winter nights in the north are always so cold, so cold that people speak with tremolo. After every word is said, it seems to turn into an ice blade, which makes Huo Zhenyu's heart feel painful.
He listened to Yu Li's words in a daze, and the hand that was buckled on her shoulder unconsciously released, but his eyes were staring at her. Huo Chen looked at him with a cold face. Even though he knew that he had not hurt Yu Li, he was still always wary of the young self in front of him.
The cold wind kept blowing, and Yu Li was trembling when she spoke at the end. It was not until Huo Chen put his down jacket on her that she could sense a little bit of temperature.
"You wear..." She froze her fingers and wanted to return the clothes to Huo Chen, but Huo Chen pressed her back on her. Yu Li was so anxious that she burst into tears, "No, you will be cold..."
"I'm not cold, be good, dress well." Huo Chen was as gentle as possible to comfort her heart that was extremely scared and confused at this moment.
Huo Zhenyu watched them look at each other, and his heart seemed to be wide open, and he was pouring cold wind into it. He had been waiting here for a day, and every joint in his body was so cold that it hurt, but at this moment it couldn't hurt his heart.
He didn't believe what Yu Li said about time travel and rebirth, nor did he believe in those nonsense words, but he also cared about everything she said.
"...You said you came to pursue me because you felt that you could not go back," Huo Zhenyu stared at her, his eyes so red that it seemed like blood and tears were coming out, but his whole body was extremely calm, "You are with me because of him and this face, are you?"
Yu Li choked and shook her head, but couldn't say anything to defend herself.
Huo Zhenyu suddenly laughed, but she laughed even worse than crying: "Yu Li, what am I in your eyes? Is the spare tire?!"
"You are not a spare tire, no one will be your spare tire," Huo Chen pulled Yu Li in front of him, used his body to help her block the cold wind, and then said something colder to Huo Zhenyu than the cold wind, "It's just that she doesn't belong to you, Yu Li a year later is your girlfriend."
"A year later..." Huo Zhenyu sneered coldly, turned his head to look at Yu Li, "Are he right?"
Yu Li bit her lower lip and dared not look at him.
"If I knew he would show up, would you look for me?" Huo Zhenyu still asked this question even though he knew what the answer was.
Yu Li's eyes were filled with tears, and her lower lip was bitten white by her, and her teeth were very obvious on her lips. She and Huo Zhenyu looked at each other for a while, but closed their eyes and shook their heads.
She didn't want to lie. If she knew that Huo Chen would come and knew that she only needed to stay in 2013 for a year, she wouldn't provoke Huo Zhenyu at all, and would even hide away and wait for everything to get back on track.
When the pain reaches the extreme, there will be no pain, only feeling mute and no sense. After seeing her shaking her head, Huo Zhenyu suddenly became mute and didn't even feel anything at all with her fingertips.
His mind suddenly became clear, and he understood why she knew his preferences and his love and hate when she had never seen him twice, and his eyes were full of love when she looked at him. He once thought she was his heavenly match, but now he realized that everything she had done was not prepared for him, including the so-called love.
"...Is he the Huo Chen you mentioned?" Huo Zhenyu suddenly remembered the name she called inadvertently.
Yu Li nodded, tears fell down, and the cold wind quickly blew away the temperature of the tears, and the place where the tears passed was painful.
"The computer is also prepared for him?" Huo Zhenyu asked expressionlessly. Yu Li was in a mess and had no time to ask why he knew about the computer. He just nodded randomly when he heard this.
Huo Zhenyu sneered after getting the answer, and then laughed harder, even his shoulders trembled, and the sound of the howling cold wind sounded a little shrill.
Yu Li took a step forward worriedly: "Zhen Yu..."
"Don't come over!"
He stopped him sternly, and Yu Li didn't dare to move. Huo Chen looked at him unhappily, then held Yu Li's hand: "Who told you to rape her?"
Huo Zhenyu ignored his question and just stared at Yu Li quietly. His dark pupils were not emotional at all, making people feel scared.
Yu Li was not afraid, but was just worried.
"Yu Li, you are so cruel." Huo Zhenyu finished speaking without any fluctuation. He took out an exquisite small box from his pocket, threw it on the ground in front of her, and then left without looking back.
Yu Li picked up the box with tears in her eyes. After opening it, she saw an exquisite bracelet. Her tears could no longer be controlled. When she looked up at him, she happened to see his body shaking. She subconsciously wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Huo Chen.
"Let him go, he goes, and the matter is over here." Huo Chen looked at the bracelet that was held in the palm of her hand, and his eyes were dark.
Yu Li looked at Huo Chen with tears in his eyes: "I, I'll go over and take a look, and come back when he returns to his place."
Huo Chen shook his head and did not let her go.
"Huo Chen... Huo Chen, I'll go and take a look. He seemed uncomfortable," Yu Li's tears fell down like a broken-line bead, "I promise I'll just look at it. It won't take too long. Just let me go."
"You won't come back," Huo Chen looked into her eyes, with a little sadness in his eyes, "I've experienced it. If you leave now, you won't come back."
Yu Li shook her head and said as she stepped back: "I promise, I will really come back, I will really come back, you believe me."
Huo Chen looked at her calmly, and Yu Li felt panic and begged in a low voice: "Can you go back to the hotel first? Go back to the hotel and wait for me."
Huo Chen looked at her for a while and finally responded softly. As soon as he heard his answer, Yu Li turned her head and chased Huo Zhenyu. Looking at her back as she was getting farther and farther away, Huo Chen smiled bitterly and murmured: "Do I think I'm taking it myself..."
The wind was getting heavier and snowing in the sky at some point. Yu Li ran out of the community with a rapid breathing. Her throat hurt so much because she inhaled too much cold wind. However, she did not slow down and just chased out. Until she saw Huo Zhenyu's unstable figure, she suddenly stopped.
She followed him slowly and hid herself as much as possible to avoid irritating him again. As she walked, she followed him to the entrance of a youth hostel. Although she wondered why he lived here, Yu Li also knew that she was no longer qualified to ask about it now. After watching him step onto the steps, she sniffed and turned around and left.
However, just after walking a few steps, she heard a muffled sound behind her. She was stunned for a moment and turned around suddenly, and saw that Huo Zhenyu, who was still standing just now, had fallen head-on in the snow.
"Zhenyu!" She screamed in disbelief and rushed towards him.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Huo Chen returned to the hotel wearing only one sweater, standing in front of the window of the hotel room watching the heavy snow, without any emotion on his face.
She won't be back tonight, he knows.
