Chapter 519 Liao Zhong is on the verge of collapse, Chen Duo bids farewell calmly
Chen Duo should be like the protagonist in the movie,
With adventures and encounters, with friends and laughter,
Instead of heading towards self-destruction after tasting a little bit of the beauty of life.
Guilt, powerlessness, anger, sadness,
All kinds of emotions are like cold sea water, rushing in from all directions.
It drowned his heart, squeezed his chest, and made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He knew that Su Chen had a plan and that everyone was working hard.
But when I thought of Chen Duo calmly saying that she would use herself to feed the Gu,
The determination to end everything made Liao Zhong feel a chill and despair running through his bones.
That was not an impulse, nor was it forced.
But it was the only destination she chose for herself after careful consideration.
The movie was at its most exciting part, with fantastic creatures flying across the screen.
Accompanied by exciting music and children's exclamations.
Chen Duo stared at the screen without blinking, seeming to be completely immersed in it.
But Liao Zhong's vision became increasingly blurred.
Warm tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably and slid down my cheeks.
He gritted his teeth, not wanting to make any sound, not wanting to disturb the rare peace of the girl beside him.
In this dimly lit cinema filled with laughter,
This usually dignified and calm head of the South China region,
Liao Zhong, who always has the final say in front of temporary workers,
But like a helpless child, he shed tears silently.
He was heartbroken by the girl's brief happiness.
Lamenting her impending fate,
I am even more distressed by my inability to change anything.
He knew that Chen Duo could not escape the disaster.
The poison had already become one with her, and the risk of removing it was incalculable.
Su Chen's plan sounded incredible and more like a gamble.
But he was unwilling.
He couldn't accept that Chen Duo was coming to an end like this.
She had just seen what the world looked like.
Just tasted a little sweet,
Just put on a beautiful dress,
Her life shouldn't be like this...
It's not right to commit suicide in despair like this!
Tears silently flowed down my chin and dripped onto my clothes.
A small dark mark spread out.
Chen Duo beside him seemed unaware of anything; her attention was still on the movie.
Perhaps the light and shadow on the screen were too brilliant, or perhaps her heart had long been as calm as water.
No longer sensitive to external emotional fluctuations.
She just watched quietly, occasionally picking up a piece of popcorn.
Put it in your mouth, the movement is slow and mechanical.
The climax of the movie arrives, justice triumphs over evil, and the protagonist gains happiness.
There was sparse applause and cheers from children all around.
The lights slowly turned on.
Liao Zhong quickly lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand.
Take a deep breath and force down your surging emotions.
"The movie...is over."
He tried to make his voice sound normal.
Chen Duo turned her head and looked at him.
The lights from the theater illuminated her face.
There seemed to be light and shadow from the movie world still lingering in those eyes.
But soon it returned to its usual calm.
But beneath the calmness, there seemed to be a hint of indescribable fatigue and a deeper emptiness.
"Ah."
She responded softly and stood up.
Take the remaining half bucket of popcorn and the empty Coke cup.
Liao Zhong looked at her slender back.
Looking at the doll and the bag of new clothes in her arms, my heart ached again.
This short "ordinary person's day"
Like a beautiful dream that is destined to end.
After waking up from the dream,
The cruel reality is still there.
Never leave.
The two walked out of the screening room and returned to the bright light of the mall.
Liao Zhong took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions that had just surged up, but the lines on his face were still tense.
Chen Duo held the bucket of unfinished popcorn.
In the other hand she carried a bag of new clothes and dolls, and her steps were light.
Not far away, at the intersection of the corridors,
Su Chen and his group no longer tried to disperse and hide, and gradually gathered together.
They were either standing or leaning, their eyes fixed on the two people who had just walked out of the cinema.
Clarinet had a serious expression on his face and looked around alertly.
Old Meng rubbed his hands, looking uneasy.
Wang Zhenqiu stopped spinning the lollipop and raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Zizai pushed his glasses up, and there was a scrutinizing look behind the lenses.
Zhang Chulan frowned, looking at Chen Duo with eyes full of complicated emotions.
Feng Baobao still had no expression on her face, she just stood quietly beside Zhang Chulan.
Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing stood slightly outside, each with a different look on their face.
Chen Duo stopped.
She saw them, these faces that were familiar or unfamiliar,
The concern, scrutiny and worry in their eyes were clearly visible.
she knows,
They were there all day.
Liao Zhong also stopped and looked in the direction Chen Duo was looking, his heart tightening.
he knows,
This short dream will eventually have to face reality.
Chen Duo didn't say anything. He held the things and slowly walked towards the direction where Su Chen and the others were.
Her steps were steady, and her face showed the faint tiredness and calmness after the movie ended.
She stopped when she was a few steps away from the crowd.
Then, under everyone's slightly stunned gaze,
Chen Duo gently placed the popcorn bucket and bag at her feet.
I straightened my light blue dress.
He bowed deeply to them.
Her movements were very standard, even with a hint of old-fashioned solemnity.
He bent very low and stayed there for a few seconds before slowly straightening up.
"Thank you."
Her voice was soft, yet extremely clear, with a sincerity that she had never heard before.
"Thank you... for accompanying me today."
She raised her eyes and glanced at Su Chen, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao in turn.
And the faces of the temporary workers behind him, and finally fell back on Liao Zhong.
"Be an ordinary person..."
She paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.
There was a very complex light in his eyes, with nostalgia, yearning, and perhaps a hint of relief.
“I’m really happy and joyful.”
"thank you all."
After saying this, she bowed again.
Then he bent down, picked up the thing on the ground, and held it in his arms again.
Standing there quietly, as if just stating a fact.
The air seemed to freeze.
Liao Zhong turned his head suddenly, and his shoulders trembled violently.
He raised his hand and pressed hard on his forehead, as if trying to prevent some kind of emotional collapse.
That sentence "I am really happy, very happy",
Like a knife tempered with sugar, it accurately pierced his last line of defense.
Zhang Chulan's lips moved, wanting to say something.
But in the end he just let out a heavy sigh, the pain in his eyes almost overflowing.
The cynicism on Wang Zhenqiu's face froze. He looked at Chen Duo and rarely spoke.
The smile on Xiao Zizai's face disappeared.
He held up his glasses and fixed his sharp eyes on Chen Duo.
It seemed as if he wanted to dig out something deeper from beneath her calm appearance.
Lao Meng's eyes turned red instantly. He looked at Liao Zhong anxiously, then at Chen Duo.
Clarinet frowned even more tightly and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Wang Ye closed his eyes slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a hint of understanding and helplessness in them.
Zhuge Qing folded his arms across his chest, looking at this scene with an expression that became extremely solemn.
