"Fu Chenghai, I want to hear the truth."

"This is the truth."

Shen Hua pursed her lips, her expression serious and stubborn. She turned to look at Fu Chenghai with a bit of paranoia.

"You don't have to consider my feelings, I really just want to hear the truth."

Fu Chenghai's hand on the steering wheel tightened. He turned the car around and parked it in a hidden spot on the side road.

There are many trees here, the street lights are sparse, and the light is dim, unable to illuminate this corner at all.

The darkness fell, and Shen Hua could not clearly see Fu Chenghai's face in the car.

It was only when he turned on the overhead light in the car that Shen Hua could see his expression clearly again.

Fu Chenghai's face was very serious, very serious, without his usual carefree, calm and spring-breathing smile.

"Can I have a cigarette?" he suddenly asked, frowning.

Shen Hua was slightly surprised.

"Can."

Fu Chenghai stretched out his long arm and opened the locker in front of Shen Hua. Inside lay a box of Yuxi wrapped in red gold and a metal lighter.

He fished them out together.

The cigarette box was opened, he shook it gently, and a cigarette came out.

His movement of shaking the cigarette was skillful and smooth. When he tilted his head to light the cigarette, he looked at the cigarette butt intently.

Apparently he didn't smoke at all.

The lighter's coil beeped twice, and the blue flame was aimed at the cigarette butt. It burned for less than a second before the cigarette was ignited.

"Crack--" The lid of the lighter was closed. Fu Chenghai held the cigarette between the fingertips of his left hand and threw the lighter and cigarette case back into the locker with his right hand.

He squinted his eyes and took a shallow breath. When the car window was opened to the maximum, two streams of white mist came out of his nose. He was halfway facing the car window, and most of the smoke dispersed outside.

The hand holding the cigarette casually rested on the edge of the window. He didn't seem to want to leave the smell of smoke in the car.

"Are you upset because of Zeng Yu?" Shen Hua couldn't figure out Fu Chenghai's expression, so she wanted to ask him what was in his heart.

"Half." He still half faced the car window, held the cigarette butt on his lips, took another shallow puff, paused for a moment, and then spit it out towards the window.

"Where's the other half?" Shen Hua asked.

"You." He took another breath, this time it was no longer just a taste, but a deep breath.

The smoke body is instantly reduced by half.

Shen Hua was slightly stunned and confused, "Me? What's wrong with me?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have set foot in Zeng Yu's house today."

"If it weren't for me today, would you have the heart to leave Zeng Yu alone on the roadside and ignore her?"

"I will call the police and ask the police to send her instead of asking you to come. I think I should give you an explanation. Because I think so, I did it."

Fu Chenghai didn't know if this was the right thing to do.

Shen Hua looked at him blankly.

Fu Chenghai looked out the window, flicked his index finger slightly, and a piece of ash fell off the end of his cigarette, "Shen Hua, please allow me to say goodbye to the past. From now on, it will only be you and no one else."

Shen Hua's heart twitched, and even her breathing stopped for a moment.

This feeling is very strange.

It was obvious that Fu Chenghai had no explanation.

But Shen Hua understood what he was talking about.

Fu Chenghai also wanted to say goodbye to the past completely.

Without her, he would probably still be as before, not having any contact with the Zeng family to make a break with his past.

It's different with her.

If I can meet Zeng Yu by chance today, I can do the same tomorrow. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

The best way is to cut through the mess quickly.

Bring Shen Hua directly to the door and explain the current situation clearly, and avoid other people's thoughts.

Especially Zeng Yu.

He raised the knife and brought it down cleanly, but Zeng Yu didn't seem to be the only one suffering the pain.

If what happened today had not happened, Fu Chenghai might still be able to use the years to heal the pain caused by this regretful relationship.

But Fu Chenghai chose the decisive and decisive method of bringing her to his home. He was undoubtedly scraping the bones to cure the poison and performing the surgery on himself, forcing himself to a cold-blooded desperation.

I have not been ruthless for three years, but I finally became ruthless today.

Shen Hua didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

Fu Chenghai said that from today on, there will be no others.

He was determined to leave Zeng Yu and the past including Zeng Yu in yesterday.

Even if Zeng Yu's time was a happy moment in his life, he would abandon her without hesitation.

"I don't want to be indecisive, but... Zeng Yu and I... don't just forget."

"I understand," Shen Hua's face was calm and soft, and her voice was gentle, "I didn't ask you to forget her. This is unrealistic. Unless you have lost your memory, unless you were together and didn't love each other at all, otherwise it would be a lie. .I don’t want to hear lies, I just want to hear the truth.”

"The truth hurts."

"That's better than lying."

Fu Chenghai looked into Shen Hua's eyes, which became more and more complex, and finally turned into a thick trace of sadness, melting into the smoke that flowed into the car, inhaling his heart and lungs.

"Can you answer my previous question now?" Shen Hua asked seriously again: "If there was no accident, you would marry Zeng Yu, right?"

Fu Chenghai looked tense, but in the end he could only say a faint and helpless "hmm".

He wanted to explain something, but found that nothing could be explained.

Shen Hua wanted to hear the truth.

But the truth is that it makes people unhappy.

However, Shen Hua smiled, a very gentle smile, not pretending to be relaxed, but very sincere.

She tilted her head and stared at his gloomy face mischievously. She said teasingly: "I can't tell, but you are also a traditional man at heart."

Fu Chenghai was dumbfounded by her for a moment. His original nervous and melancholy mood was no longer, and what followed was the natural relaxation and joy that he had felt when getting along with Shen Hua in the past.

"How can you see it?" he asked.

Shen Hua meditated for a moment, "If no accident happened, you should still be a genius doctor in neurosurgery, marry your mentor's daughter, and follow the path your mentor walked. You respect your mentor, and you can play harmoniously with your wife. Aren’t you just a traditional and conservative good man?”

Fu Chenghai was amused by her, "Am I not one now?"

Shen Hua looked around at his hairstyle and clothes, shook her head, "Not quite."

"What's the difference?"

"Hairstyle," Shen Hua said, "Why do you have to shave your hair so short?"

"I don't have time to take care of it, so I'll just shave it to the shortest possible length."

"But I think you'd better look better if you have longer hair."

"You haven't seen what my hair looks like, why do you say that?"

"I have seen it. I just saw it," Shen Hua said, "in Zeng Yu's room. There are photos of you in her room."

Fu Chenghai was slightly stunned, his face stiffened unnaturally.

He forgot about this.

Shen Hua smiled and teased: "I saw two dolls beside her bed. Could it be that you accompanied her to catch them, right?"

Fu Chenghai smiled bitterly, "That's not true, it's just... it's really uncomfortable for you to reveal my past with her bit by bit."

Shen Hua: "What's so uncomfortable? I didn't say I wanted to settle a score with you, nor did I get jealous and quarrel with you."
