[R18] Paranoid desire – “Paranoid Desire” 283 Ending (Part 1) [English]

It was autumn in October, and the night wind was a bit cold. As Gu Yuewei left the company and drove home, she saw gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky in the distance. It was not a festival, but fireworks were set off, and passers-by stopped to watch.

Gu Yuewei didn’t pay attention to the fireworks at first. After about a minute or two, her hand on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

Because the sky above where the fireworks are blooming is… Yanqi Lake.

…

After returning home, I scrolled through a video app, and all I saw were the gorgeous fireworks at Yanqi Lake in Beicheng. Some bloggers added the name of former President Lin Sen in memory of him. After all, during his tenure, there were never fewer fireworks over Yanqi Lake.

Sheng Jin sent a message, “Lin Sen should have returned to China. The lights are on across the street.”

he returned to Lanju.

Gu Yuewei did not reply to Sheng Jin’s message. She put down her phone and walked to the rooftop. She took out the tweezers from the tool box and began to clean the dead leaves from the succulents one by one, because she needed to do something to calm herself down.

Lu Zixu went upstairs and put a coat on her, picked up another tweezers and sat across from her, holding a bright orange Monroe in his hand, “If I remember correctly, this Monroe has the most severely damaged leaves among the batch you smashed.”

“It seems so.” Gu Yuewei raised her eyes and glanced at the clear jade-like Monroe in his hand, “It’s so beautiful now.”

“Its owner is more beautiful.”

Gu Yuewei smiled faintly and did not answer He’s words.

Lu Zixu put Monroe back to the original place, raised his hand and rubbed her head, “He is back. I have already seen him. I explained to him face to face that night.”

Knowing which night he was talking about, “It’s all over.”

“Brother is not stupid.” The smile in his eyes was a little sad, “After knowing everything he has done for you, I understand why Gu Yi and I were both eliminated. What Gu Yi and I have done for you is far less than what he has done for you. This time, Gu Yi and I are really convinced.”

Putting the tweezers in his hand back into the toolbox, he looked up towards Yanqi Lake. Seeing the fireworks that kept blooming, his eyes were relieved, “If you miss me, brother, come to Geneva and leave.”

The words of farewell came out of he’s mouth so calmly.

Gu Yuewei knew that he had transferred all his assets to Switzerland and his family had immigrated to Geneva. Once he left, he would probably never come back.

“Lu Zixu.” He called his name, but tears were already welling up in his eyes, “I won’t miss you.”

Lu Zixu smiled and went downstairs without even looking back.

After getting to the car, he started the car and drove out of the community, then stopped the car. He wanted to light a cigarette, but the lighter slipped from his hand. When he bent to pick it up, what was exposed under the wrist of the black pants was white and silver… it was a prosthetic leg.

He’s legs were actually amputated half a year ago. In order to prevent Gu Yuewei from feeling guilty, he hid it from everyone and transferred to Geneva. Except for the Lu family, no one knew that he had lost his legs.

During the past six months, he has been recuperating in Geneva, adapting to the prosthetic limbs as quickly as possible.

In order to dispel Gu Yuewei’s concerns, he went back to Beicheng to see her.

Now that his wish is fulfilled, he can go back with peace of mind.

Although…I feel unwilling to do so

…

(The ending is open-ended. The extra story will give she and Lin Da a place to belong to. As for Lu Zixu and Gu Yi, they will also be given their own monologues. I know you all feel sorry for them, and so do I.)
