After saying those words, I suddenly felt a surge of self-satisfaction. I couldn’t believe I could come up with such crucial details about contacting him through a payphone. Damn it, I really am a born killer, ha ha!
“OK!” He sighed deeply, his gaze lingering on me for three to five seconds before he tightened his long coat and walked out with brisk steps.
Once he left, I remained quietly seated in the darkness, my heart inexplicably pounding. To be honest, killing my wife didn’t sit well with me; after all, we had spent so many years together. But… the woman I’ve been seeing recently, Xue Qing, had been relentless, even going so far as to say, “Do you expect me to wait six months just because your wife has been dead for half a year?”
Sigh! Women! They are truly troublesome. Always eager to become wives, yet they seem more impatient than men when it comes to getting into bed. I just can’t understand them!
“Can you hold me?” I asked.
“Lisa, you…” He hesitated.
“I had a dream last night where someone killed me.”
“You silly girl, how could that happen?” He gently patted my shoulder, reluctant to let his stubbled lips touch my still beautiful face. He didn’t notice the two streams of hot tears that had silently fallen from my eyes.
“Don’t think nonsense; just get some rest!”
“No, I can’t sleep.” I snapped angrily. “I want you to watch the old plays and animated films I dubbed with me.”
“Fine…,” he replied reluctantly, pulling at his collar and draping a blanket that smelled faintly of aloe over himself as he sat beside me.
I inserted the disc, and familiar scenes slowly appeared on the screen—those were the most precious memories tucked deep within my heart, destined to accompany me into the profound darkness of time. Sigh! Time, why are you in such a hurry? Who would have thought that I would be cast aside from others’ lives like this…
After a while, I turned to look at him beside me, hoping to reminisce about our past life together. But he was already sound asleep… so deeply asleep… At that moment, I felt how far away he was from me… so far…
Forget it; I was already disappointed in him. I could no longer find any warmth in this world. God, please take me away! With my hands clasped together, I whispered softly as I turned off the TV and returned to the bedroom.
The wind outside surged in, brushing against my bare skin. Lonely fingers slowly wandered over each inch of flesh, still as smooth and vibrant as they were when I was twenty, radiating a longing for love...
For a moment, I forgot everything, as if I were on the brink of death, or perhaps still stranded in that hazy old dream of youth...
I had prepared myself for everything; I had steeled my cold heart.
...
The harvest season has arrived. Hardworking farmers, please wield your sharp sickles! Let us swiftly sever the golden heads at the moment our blades strike down.
With our helpless eyes, let us gaze upon the remnants scattered across the ground! It is they who have reached the end of life, not we who have strangled the harmonious laws of coexistence.
I merely happened to arrive at the crossroads of autumn, witnessing the golden expanse that stirred a restless heart—I'm not a murderer!
At seven o'clock in the evening, as night fell, I quietly made my way here.
That person told me that his most despised foe would slink onto this vast square today.
I tucked a finely crafted Cang Dao into my sleeve and navigated through the bustling crowd.
He also mentioned that this guy would be wearing a black suit and a gray flat cap, moving stealthily—he should be easy to identify.
Is that him? I tightened my grip on the Cang Dao and hurried forward. Damn it, I must have misjudged; it was just a small woman walking furtively with her head down.
No, I need to make a call. Searching like this could wear anyone out.
“Hello!” The other party answered.
“Brother, has my task been completed?” I asked.
"Okay! It's done. Everything has been taken care of without a hitch."
Hearing his response, I smiled, feeling a surge of joy I had never experienced before.
"Then why hasn't the person you asked me to find shown up yet?" After suppressing my excitement, I began to shift my focus back to his matter.
"Don't worry, just look a little more; they shouldn't be more than ten meters away from you," he assured me. "Alright, after you're done, come find me. Your wife is already here... haha..."
Within ten meters? I looked around carefully. Within that distance, not even the shadow of an animal was in sight, let alone a living person.
I decided to search elsewhere; perhaps they had escaped to another location! As I walked in front of a nearby KFC, I noticed through the large glass doors a figure in a black suit and gray cap reflected on the shiny surface.
It was him! Just as I was about to draw my knife, it suddenly dawned on me—damn it, that was me!
I slapped my forehead and exclaimed, "Ah!" before rushing off to meet the person.
This was a quiet park. After turning a few bends along the tree-lined path, I finally caught sight of a woman's face.
"Miss Xueqing?" I exclaimed in surprise, my eyes widening. "What are you doing here?"
