BXBX NOVEL Chapter 920 - West Wind Extra (Complete)
Chapter 920: West Wind Extra (Complete)
Mu Xi and Ming Shu met on a bridge.
It was at night. Mu Xi couldn’t remember what time it was, but she remembered it was very late, and there were almost no cars passing through.
She stood on the bridge and was about to kill herself.
She really lost all hope of living at that time.
Her parents were indifferent toward her, her relatives scolded her, and her classmates disdained of and humiliated her.
She felt the whole world was gray.
“Ahh, young girl, you’ll suffer a lot if you jump down like this.”
Right at that time she heard this voice.
She turned her head to see the girl.
The girl sat on a bicycle with her toes on the ground and looked at her with her head tilted, smiling.
She never saw anyone smile at her before.
A soft and tender smile.
Like a soft wind.
It flew past her uneasy heart.
For a moment, Mu Xi flinched.
She stepped back and squatted down. She cried aloud.
“Why are you crying?”
“Nobody cares about me,” Mu Xi answered in tears. “Nobody likes me so no one will care about me. I’m useless, I don’t even dare to die.”
“If no one cares about you, you can care about yourself.” The girl squatted beside her. “If you don’t care about yourself, who will you count on to care about you?”
“You don’t understand...”
“Okay okay, I don’t understand. Don’t cry, I have candy for you.”
Mu Xi watched the candy placed before her and took it automatically.
The candy was sweet.
So sweet that it melted into her heart.
“Eat something whenever you feel low.” The girl patted her head. “I’m being very generous to give you candy, you know? It’s my life.”
Life?
Mu Xi didn’t understand. Why was candy her life?
Mu Xi watched the girl go back to her bicycle, but after a moment she got down again and looked at her. “Young girl, can you help push my bicycle? I can give you one more piece of candy, okay?”
“Oh...”
Mu Xi stood up and helped push the bicycle for her.
The tire seemed to leak air. No wonder she didn’t continue riding.
The girl held her snacks in her arms, meanwhile she helped push the bicycle, and they walked side by side.
In the middle of the night, Mu Xi felt she must have gone out of her mind to walk with a stranger for a long time.
That was their first acquaintance.
After that, she spent a lot of time with her.
She also learned to love food from her.
The girl didn’t lecture her on anything, but she could always forget unhappy things while staying with her, and forget every annoying thing in the family.
At that time she felt...
Delicious food could really heal everything.
She knew the girl was in poor health. Because one time when she had an attack of her old illness, she was at her side.
Mu Xi thought the girl might die when she sent her to hospital.
Miraculously, she survived. Even the doctor said it was a miracle.
The doctor requested the girl to be hospitalized, but she left after only staying there for two days.
Later they spent another month with each other, then Mu Xi said goodbye to her.
Mu Xi only knew her hometown and name, the rest was all unknown.
When she applied for college, Mu Xi inexplicably chose to come to this city.
During her college years, Mu Xi had also been asking for information. But they indeed had a great age difference and she didn’t find any clue.
Among the huge crowd in the world, where could she find her.
Until not long ago, she met a patient in the hospital and happened to hear the patient’s visitors mention the name Jian Xi.
She asked about it carefully later and realized the Jian Xi in their conversation should be the same one she was looking for.
Different people may share the same name, but this Jian Xi they mentioned also had heart disease.
She plucked up her courage and asked that patient.
But then the patient told her, the girl had died many years ago.
Mu Xi closed her lips. “If it weren’t for Sister Jian Xi, I would have become a pile of bones. She was a very tender person.”
Ye West Wind smiled. “She was not tender.”
Mu Xi frowned and intended to refute.
But she wasn’t clear what their relationship was, so Mu Xi held back her words and just lowered her head to look at the tombstone.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
“West Wind.”
Ye West Wind turned his head and said lightly, “Yes.”
A man in a suit came over and looked very serious.
Mu Xi was startled and stepped back behind Ye West Wind, making room for the man coming over.
Jian Shu gave a look to her, then rested his eyes on Ye West Wind. Ye West Wind had turned back and didn’t mean to introduce Mu Xi.
Jian Shu put down the things in his hands. There were some flowers and lots of food.
“West Wind, you’re not a young man anymore.” Jian Shu and Ye West Wind stood side by side. “It’s time to let go.”
Ye West Wind’s fingers trembled slightly. “Brother Jian Shu, why haven’t you gotten married then? Li Le has waited for you for so many years...”
Li Le... She had become a listed company’s chairman and had countless pursuers.
But the relationship between her and Jian Shu was vague and uncertain.
They were lovers, but they were not that close.
They were friends, but they were beyond that scope.
Jian Shu was silent for a long time.
“The wedding day has been set.”
Ye West Wind looked aside at him in a rush.
Jian Shu revealed a light smile on his face while looking at the tombstone.
Mu Xi thought perhaps she should leave them now. After hesitating for a while, she left in the end.
Mu Xi stood a distance away and looked over at the two men standing before the tombstone.
She looked up into the sky, watching the clouds passing.
“Sister Jian Xi, we all miss you much.”
Mu Xi lowered her head, then walked down the mountain slowly.
...
It was already dark when Ye West Wind returned from the cemetery.
He came into the house carrying coldness.
Father Ye was sitting on the sofa and smoking. He had become more and more addicted to cigarettes these two years, and Ye West Wind couldn’t stop him.
“Father...”
Father Ye gave a look to him. “What have you told Mu Xi? Why is she leaving?”
Mu Xi went to visit the cemetery, so Father Ye naturally thought his son had said something to her.
Ye West Wind frowned.
Ye West Wind went out and came to Mu Xi’s place, knocking on the door. “Are you leaving?”
Mu Xi opened the door and let Ye West Wind in. She answered honestly, “Yes, the internship is going to end and I need to go back. I came to this city originally for Sister Jian Xi, now... I’ve fulfilled my wish.”
Ye West Wind didn’t know what to say.
What should he say to this girl who had met with her and was actually a stranger.
“I’ll send you off.”
“I don’t want to bother you, Mr. Ye...” Mu Xi declined with a bit of shyness.
“It’s okay, my father won’t let you leave alone.”
“...Okay, then. Thank you, Mr. Ye.” Mu Xi accepted it.
“Can you... tell me more about what happened during that time?”
“Okay.” Mu Xi nodded happily.
In Mu Xi’s description, she seemed more tender than that in his memory.
He could still remember many scenes with her in front of his eyes, but she...
But how come she disappeared like that?
Ye West Wind had forgotten when he began to like her.
That year outside the nightclub, when she asked him that question, he was panicked. But it was like eating candies in secret behind his parents’ backs, he was panicked as well as soft in his heart.
“Mr. Ye, are you all right?” Mu Xi passed him some tissues worriedly.
Ye West Wind took the tissues and lowered his head, blocking his expression.
“I’m fine, thank you.” He got up. “You should take some rest now. If there’s anything you need, just call me.”
Mu Xi sent him out of the door and watched the man walk into the heavy snow.
Snowflakes fell profusely and disorderly.
The man’s figure looked lonely in the distance.
This man would stop where he was and keep his memory for the rest of his life.
