I nodded and hurried back to my room. I left the hotel, turned right, walked up the mountain road, turned a small bridge, walked to a lush forest and sat down on a big rock. I waited for Liu Yue to come and date me on a bright, cool autumn night in the middle of the mountain breeze.

There was no one around him. The autumn air was clear and the autumn moon was bright.

I happily looked at Liu Yue …

Then the two of us sat down on a flat outcropping of rock at the edge of the woods and quietly looked up at the cool night sky and the stars and the moon.

Liu Yue looked up into the sky and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong? Yue Erjie? " I gently held Liu Yue's hand and embraced her soft shoulder.

"I think of my childhood, my homeland, my past …" Liu Yue said faintly.

I didn't say anything. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and leaned in my direction.

My actions unmistakably sent a signal to Liu Yue: I'm listening, continue.

"Are you interested in my past? Want to hear it? Do you want to know? " Liu Yue asked me.

"Mm …" "I'm very interested. I really want to hear it. I really want to know …" I said, "But, if you don't say it, I definitely won't ask. I'm afraid that your past hides too much sadness. I don't want you to be sad in your memories …"

Under the moonlight, Liu Yue looked at me with misty eyes. "A Feng, you really know how to be considerate … "Actually, I've wanted to tell you many times, but I'm afraid you won't like it …"

I smiled and put Liu Yue down, laid her half in my embrace, and turned her face towards the night sky: "Yue'er, speak, I have been waiting for this day …"

Liu Yue looked at me gently. "A Feng, kiss me …"

I lowered my head...

Liu Yue placed my hand on her chest, and then pressed her hand on the back of my hand. "A Feng, do you feel my heartbeat?"

"I feel it!"

"My heart is jumping along with the trend of the night sky... In my childhood, in my hometown, I often had this kind of bright starry sky, and this kind of tranquility and serenity, "Liu Yue's voice slowly spoke, and she began to narrate a part of her past …

"My hometown is not the river, nor is it the East River. I'm from Zhejiang, my hometown is in the Cangnan County, a fishing village by the sea, my parents are both fishermen, my dad goes fishing every day, my mom is at home weaving the net, and I'm at home watching my little brother …" Every time Dad returned from the sea, our family would be in the moonlight by the sea. Dad would drink with salted fish, and Mom would gather with me and my brother to listen to Dad's stories about the sea. There were beautiful mirages, and there would be legendary mermaids … We lived a simple, happy, and happy life together... "

I was so captivated by her words that I gently caressed Liu Yue's hair.

"However, happy times are always so short. In the middle of a typhoon, a tropical storm swept through my hometown. My home, my father, my mother, my brother, all of them … And I, because I went to school in town, got away with it... "In the blink of an eye, a happy family broke apart. All of my relatives were gone. I was the only one left …"

Liu Yue's voice was very calm, as if she was telling a story, but I could still hear the sadness and pain in her heart.

I didn't know that Liu Yue actually had such a miserable childhood.

"My uncle did business in the ocean. After I became an orphan, he returned to the Cangnan and took me away. He brought me to the sea so that I could go to school and live … However, five years later, after I went to middle school, my uncle died from illness and my aunt remarried. I was once again kicked out of the school, so I had to spend the night with the head teacher and his family. With the help of the school and my classmates, I finished high school and went to Dongjiang Normal University. "My childhood was spent in the Cangnan. Until now, my youth and youth were spent in the East River Province …" Liu Yue opened his eyes and looked at the deep night sky. "A motherless child is like a blade of grass … I don't have a father or a mother, what do I look like? I summarized it, I had a happy childhood, a troubled youth … "

My heart is about to break. To think that my Yue'er actually had such a tragic experience, I only embraced Liu Yue's body, and put my face against Liu Yue's face.

"Young man?" "Haha …" Liu Yue reached out to wipe the tears at the corner of my eyes, then said with a smile, "The age of struggle, the age of struggle … To this day, I'm still fighting, fighting... However, in the course of my struggle, I also lost, also lost, and also lost my footing … "

I raised my head and left Liu Yue's face, staring intently at him.

"Before I graduated from university, on the train back to Jianghai in Xiejing, I met a high ranking official who had a mysterious identity. After talking to me for a while, when we arrived at Jianghai, he gave me a phone number and said that I could find him if I needed anything. I had no relatives, no connections, and was facing the fate of being a teacher in the countryside. So, three days later, I called the man and he asked me to meet him in a hotel room. After we met, he asked for some food and wine and asked me to accompany him to eat and drink. During that time, he told me that he could fulfill my dream of staying in the city and arrange a comfortable job for me …

At that time, I had no social experience, I was like a lifesaver in my helplessness, repeatedly thanking him, and accompanying him to a few drinks... During this time, I went to the bathroom, came back for a drink, and fell into a deep sleep … When I woke up again, I was lying on my bed in the hotel room, with a trace of uncertainty on my face and the same feeling of uncertainty on my side … I understood everything. My heart was dead, I didn't cry, I didn't make any noise, I couldn't remember how I stumbled out of the hotel, I ran to the river bank, I gritted my teeth and jumped straight into the river.

"When I was carried down by the surging rivers to the south, a fisherman saved me. Under his persuasion, I decided to live on." "It's not easy to live on in this life, it's not easy to live on in this life. It's because it's not easy to live on in this life, that's why I have to live on in this life …" The words of the big brother fisherman encouraged me, and I decided to live...

That high official did not go back on his words and under his arrangements, I was quickly assigned to the Jianghai Daily News as per my wish, and directly entered there … And so, for the sake of my future, for the sake of a happy job, I lost my first time … "

My heart tightened and my eyes filled with pain.

"Later on, I found out that the high official was actually the's permanent representative, a person with great authority in the martial arts world … While I felt shame and disdain for my actions, I could not refuse his arrangement. I had no choice, I was scared by poverty and despondency, I wanted to live a dignified and secure life, I wanted to be a man of honor, I wanted to be a high class in this society, I needed this job …

They were all firmly rejected by me. After that, the secretary of the Deputy mayor took a fancy to me and madly chased after me, I was anxious to get rid of the entanglement of the Deputy mayor and felt that the secretary was very shrewd. With the tacit approval of the Deputy mayor, we quickly started to get into a relationship and get married … "Soon, there will be children …"

"Ni Ni!" I cried out involuntarily, "That secretary is Song Mingzheng! "Isn't it?"

"Yes, it's Ni Ni. The secretary is Song Mingzheng, he was the secretary of the Deputy mayor in the city." Liu Yue glanced at me, "Song Mingzheng has always been in the dark, and he has never known about the matter between me and Deputy mayor … Not long after we got married, the Deputy mayor started transferring Song Mingzheng to the most remote county to be a Vice County Governor. This way, he would have the opportunity to get close to me, but he didn't succeed in the end …

Not long after, something happened to Deputy mayor. Because he was caught taking bribes, his life was extremely extravagant, and he had multiple mistresses … But, on the list of confessions he made, I wasn't there... As for me, ever since the incident in Deputy mayor, my accumulated guilt towards Song Mingzheng had also caused me to display an abnormal expression, which Song Mingzheng noticed, and thus after asking closely, I revealed the truth of the matter …

From then on, Song Mingzheng changed, he often drank outside, and often did not return home. Until one day, I went out to interview someone and returned late into the night. When I opened the bedroom door, I saw Song Mingzheng and a woman in our bed … The child is sleeping alone on the sofa outside... I carried the child with me to the temporary dormitory in the unit. The next day, I calmly and peacefully proposed a divorce to Song Mingzheng … Song Mingzheng begged bitterly not to get a divorce, saying that he was just trying to find a balance between them. Now that they were even, he would live a good life in the future …

I don't blame Song Mingzheng, I am already unable to bear the pressure that the past has brought me, my mind is already at the brink of collapse, I can't live a life like this any longer. I'm sorry, Song Mingzheng, his revenge on me is also natural, it's my retribution, I can't destroy myself, I also can't destroy him … Song Mingzheng had no choice but to ask for a child. I felt that I was neither a qualified wife nor worthy to be Ni Ni's mother, so I promised him that Ni Ni would be his. After the divorce, Song Mingzheng quickly married the woman on the bed that night. That woman was a nurse in the hospital.

After that, Song Mingzheng was transferred back to Jianghai City, where he was appointed as the Director of Department of Health … And I, I've been living alone ever since, thinking of nothing but work and nothing else every day … "

I listened intently.
