Chapter 965: Farewell, Just Strangers

lanced at it and said concisely."Menglan angrily shoved the tea into his arms. "Here, take it!"After finishing her words, she turned her head to look at Xiang Wan and said seriously, "You can consider...Hearing her words, Feng Mu's gaze sank.

He was not at all surprised that Menglan would say such a thing.

To put it another way, from the moment he learned that he had been invited to this playground, he had this feeling.

"You called me over here because of this" Feng Mu's voice was heavy.

"Yes." Menglan nodded. "I remember everything about before. Feng Mu, we've known each other since we were little, for decades now. We've been through so much together, ups and downs."

It is precisely because of those heart-wrenching memories that love runs deeper, and so does the pain, deep to a point where none of us can forget.

Upon hearing this, Feng Mu's expression was slightly stunned.

He was a little unwilling to give up. He pulled Menglan's shoulders tightly, looking at her seriously, "Menglan, I know what you're worried about. We can start over. I will compensate for everything I owe you. Give me a chance, okay"

Having finished speaking, Menglan let out a helpless smile. "Fengmu, so many years have passed already, haven't you compensated me enough…"

Isn't that enough...

A simple sentence, yet it truly stumped Feng Mu.

Yes.

For so many years, he has done everything he could, leading to the point where he doesn't even know what else he can do to win her heart.

But somehow, he was unable to persuade Meng Lan.

"Why" Feng Mu raised his eyes to look at Meng Lan, a touch of excitement in his eyes, "Why after all these years, I still can't win you over"

"So, give up on Feng Mu."

Meng Lan raised her hand and gently caressed his face, seriously saying, “None of us can forget the past, so we can't be together for a lifetime.”

"...."

Feng Mu could no longer say a word.

This sentence seemed to crush the last vestiges of his remembrance.

Dream Lan is truly determined to leave.

Feng Mu clenched his fists, he calmed down for a long time before raising his eyes again and solemnly said, “Okay, I promise you, from today onwards, I won't pester you anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Menglan's heart sank like a stone.

Although she had made the decision herself, when she learned the answer, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Man is still a selfish and greedy animal.

"Hmm." she replied faintly.

Feng Mu looked at her, helplessly wryly smiling. "Since you've already made up your mind, no matter how much I say, it won't have any effect."

"Meng Lan, I remember telling you once, as long as you can be happy, even if it means leaving, I'm willing."

I will still have a hundred ways to get close to you, but as long as you speak a word, I am willing to give you freedom.

This was what he truly wanted to say.

At this moment, Menglan took a deep breath, trying her best to adjust her mindset. Only then did she raise her eyes and look at him, "Okay, since that's the case, let's part ways here."

As she spoke, her footsteps retreated backward, putting distance between herself and Feng Mu.

"Feng Mu, let's part ways here."

Menglan gently pulled at her lips, revealing a faint smile. "From today onwards, every time we meet again, we'll be the most familiar strangers."

Feng Mu mumbled an unenthusiastic "Um" his mood didn't seem high.

Ke Menglan, however, ignored him. Taking a deep breath and preparing herself mentally, she turned and left.

There was no further delay.

Just as Menglan turned around, tears streamed down her face. To say it didn't hurt would be a lie.

Her heart was pierced with pain.

She finally said goodbye to the person from her youth, and there would be no further relationship between them.

While Feng Mu stood on the rooftop for a long time, he watched Meng Lan's figure disappear with his own eyes, his eyes gradually turning red.

After a while, he lifted his hand and gently caressed the tear on his cheek, his fingertips touching a wet streak.

He cried.

From a young age, Feng Mu cultivated his skills to perfection, making him indomitable and capable of overcoming almost any obstacle. Nothing could break him or make him shed a tear.

Only the dream orchid.

But he'd fought for it, tried his best, and had no regrets.

……

Greetings.

Meng Lan took a taxi back to the He family. She was in low spirits, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying all the way.

As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Hoshino sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

"Back" Xiang Wan's lips curled into a gentle smile. "Well, how was it Wasn't this trip a worthwhile one Have you said goodbye to everyone who needed to be said goodbye to"

"Well, everything is over now." Menglan lightly pulled open her lips, revealing a strained smile. "I'm afraid we won't have any relationship from now on."

Seeing A-Wei's dejected expression, Yue approached her and stood closer.

Then, Yua gently patted her shoulder and reminded her in a soft voice, "That's why I prepared for this beforehand because I was afraid you would be sad."

What is it

Meng Lan's eyes widened in surprise as she looked up.

But A-Wai tilted her chin up and gestured with her eyes toward the coffee table in the living room, "Look."

Only seen, on the tea table piled bottles of beer, very spectacular.

"Did you do this" Menglan asked in surprise.

"Of course, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight!" Xiang Wan said with a smile, then took her hand tightly and walked towards the living room.

Menglan took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing before entering the living room.

向晚 opened a bottle of beer and offered it to her, "Here you go. First things first, no one is allowed to be a coward today. Whoever runs away first is a puppy, we're not leaving until we're drunk!"

"Okay!" Menglan replied with a smile.

Anyway, she was in a terrible mood today and just needed an outlet.

I have to admit, Wawa really knows her stuff.

These two drank bottle after bottle, and soon they were both completely drunk.

Towards Evening and Mumei were both sitting on the cold floor, leaning against each other, as if only by doing so could they hold each other for warmth.

Menglan leaned against Xiangwan's shoulder, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks. She whispered, "Xiangwan, you know I've known Fengmu for so long, we've experienced everything there is to experience. But it's precisely because of all this that we can't be together."

Today we said a final goodbye. Looking at his back, I suddenly felt that youth was over.

Listening to her words, Xiangwan let out a soft chuckle, silently weeping.

After a long while, she softly asked, "Do you still love him"

Do you still love me

Meng Lan pondered for a moment, thinking carefully before slowly saying, “Love.”

Love very much.

Love always.

When A-wai heard her firm answer, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.ed open her lips, but her smile was as weak as a white lotus."It's not that simple, Dream Boss is my sister after all. She's resentful of me, so I must have done something wrong.""That's not fair eith...
