Chapter 978: Meeting you and Losing You (2)

As he spoke, the landlord took a bunch of keys from the shoe cabinet and waved them at Lu Benlai.

Lu Benlai was very familiar with the stuffed toy hanging on the keys. He had spent ten yuan on it with Leng Nuan at the roadside of the night market.

He knew that the landlord was not lying to him. He knew that she really did not live here anymore. He also knew that regardless of how much he did not want to face such a situation, she still left..

Lu Benlai apologized to the landlord and did not say anything else. He directly stepped on the stairs and headed downstairs.

“Mr. Lu, this is the 30th floor. Why did you leave the elevator and not go? Why did you take the stairs… Mr. Lu…”

The landlord chased after him and reminded him a few times. Seeing that he had no reaction, he gave up and let him go.

After coming out of the residential building, Lu Benlai walked aimlessly along the street for a while. When the night wind had calmed him down, he found a bench by the roadside and sat down.

Taking out his phone, he did not give up and continued to call her.

One, one, one… no matter how many times he called, the reply was always, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.”

He did not know how many calls he had made until he suddenly stopped, exhausted. Only then did he realize that in his phone records, there were many, many missed calls from her.

One, two, three, four, five… Forty-seven, forty-eight… seventy-three, seventy-four… Eighty-six, eighty-seven… ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight..

The more he counted, the more flustered Lu Benlai became.

He wished that the number could stay at ninety-nine, but after counting for a full hour, the number of missed calls from her was still one hundred.

“Lu Benlai, have you heard of such a story?”

“There was a couple who had a conflict. Every night, the boy would come downstairs to coax the girl. He came for ninety-nine days in a row. The girl thought that as long as the boy came back tomorrow, she would be with him again. On the 100th night, the boy came, but when the girl ran downstairs, the boy told the girl that they were over.”

“Do you know why?”? “Because in love, two people can not always be one person to give infinitely, so for a boy, he is willing to give 100% , but he will not love a person who does not love him at all. So, 99 times is to keep him, and the 100th time is to give up.”

She actually called him so many times, but he actually did not pay attention to it… 99 times, she was the one who urged him to stay, she gave him 99 chances… until in the end, she completely gave up.., only then did he recover..

They had clearly been fine all along, he and she had never quarreled, just this once, just this one conflict, how did it end up like this?

All these years, he had been fighting for her, he wanted her to live the best life in this most prosperous city, he did not sleep at three in the morning, but he was still working hard, he slept four hours every day to struggle, he had braved a high fever to talk about cooperation… he had worked hard to finally conquer an entire country. He wanted to send it to her, but she was no longer there..

As these thoughts flashed through Lu Benlai’s mind, his fingers that were holding the phone began to tremble.

He tried his best to control his near-collapse state of mind, but there was still a teardrop that fiercely fell on the phone screen.

The world is too big to meet you. The world is too small to lose you.
