Chapter 47

Beck stood up and walked up to Summer Mu.

She asked, 'Where is Anthony?'

"I let him go first."

"Oh. Did you take it?"

"Well, I took it."

Both of them remained silent for a while, perhaps because of their joyful mood, his faintly smiling gaze remained fixed on her face.

"Shall we go then? "She said.

Beck: "Where are you going?"

Summer Mu: "Isn't he going back to the company?" Before he could finish speaking, he gently grasped his wrist. He looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "Did you forget? You promised to accompany me to see the ground."

Summer Mu: "Oh."

Some things had signs. Some things had premonitions.

Some things cannot be avoided.

 When Summer Mu and Beck sat in the taxi together, watching the twilight outside fall like a veil. The city exuded a unique silence and tranquility, a sense of destiny that permeated her heart like this twilight.

She knew what was about to happen, that Beck had a deep and aggressive mind, and that he would do something to her. But can she not go? She can't. She wanted to go, but deep down inside, she was afraid to go. Her heart, like a floating boat in this twilight, despite its silence, intact body, and internal wounds that others cannot see, always need to break through the fog and sail towards the direction it should go.

Beck sat beside her, propping his elbow on the car door and remaining silent. She was particularly silent today, even hiding her hands tightly in her pockets. He wanted to hold onto it all the way, but he couldn't. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.

A plot was indeed located in the city center, but as mentioned earlier, there were several undeveloped plots nearby. So from a distance, there was a patch of green grass, as well as hills and several farmhouses, which looked like a green field in the city.

Because it had not been developed yet and the local customs in L City were simple, the land had not been strictly enclosed. The taxi stopped nearby and the two of them strolled onto this piece of land.

At this moment, the sky would not be dark, the wind would blow the grass low, and it would be vast. The surrounding cities had instead become a silent backdrop, enveloping this land that was about to belong to them.

Summer Mu lightly stepped on the grass and walked forward. Beck quietly followed behind her.

She found a topic: "Last time about Xie, someone came to besiege our factory. Now that you've pried open Barry 's land again, do we have to hire a bodyguard for you?"

"I will be careful."He replied." You should also be careful. Don't be alone usually, stay where I can see. Hmm."

Summer Mu remained silent.

After walking a little further, there was a small uphill ahead. Summer Mu felt quite uplifted when she thought about winning the ground today and climbed up with all her might. Beck's movements were surprisingly no slower than hers. With a kick of his long legs, he came to her side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

The wind on the hillside was stronger, so Summer Mu gathered her collar and looked at the grass below.

Beck unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her in his arms from behind.

Summer Mu was taken aback, feeling his warm embrace, like those lingering and obscure feelings in memory, once again enveloping her and descending upon her.

She remained motionless. She wanted to break free, but she didn't move.

He remained calm and asked in a low voice in her ear, 'Is it cold?' His lips were about to rub against her ear.

"Not cold. "Summer Mu answered softly, feeling both sweet and sad in her heart.

"Oh... "he responded softly, with a smile in his voice. He closed his arms and hugged her tighter, asking softly," Today I won my first piece of land in life. Summer, don't you congratulate me?"

 Summer Mu's whole body seemed to be on fire, and his face turned red as he held her, whispering, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations in a different way. "he said," I'm missing a girlfriend now."

Summer Mu's heart was burning like a raging fire, making her itch and pain. She turned her head to look at him, and at a very close distance, between his arms, she saw his smiling eyes.

She turned her head, broke free from his embrace, and walked down the hill, saying, "Beck, let's go back."

Beck grabbed her hand, but the terrain on the hillside was uneven, and she stubbornly fought against him. They both fell onto the grass together, and Summer Mu fell back into his arms. She wanted to get up, but he instinctively pressed her against his chest and held her tighter.

The grass around gently grazed each other's skin, the sky about to sink, and the swaying slope. His face was also indistinct, as if he was about to blend in with the darkness of the night. Just holding her like this, lying in the cold world. Didn't let her escape, didn't let her not belong to him.

"What are you hiding from these days? "Said the low and deep voice, forcing people.

Summer Mu suddenly couldn't take it anymore and looked up at him, saying, "Beck, didn't you say that we are not a good match for each other? Why are you saying this now?"

Beck remained silent for a second.

"When did I say that?"

Summer Mu endured and replied, "October 23rd."

On this day, Beck had an impression because it was the opening day of the second clothing flagship store. Drunk, KTV, being alone with her, her abnormal behavior afterwards, and nonchalance... These moments flashed through his mind, and he understood them.

Seeing his silence, Summer Mu felt both hatred and anger in her heart, and she stood up to break free. Who knew he was quick witted and quick witted? He hugged her tightly again and replied, "That's different. I didn't make up my mind at that time. How can I be the same now? How many days have I been chasing you?"

He didn't say it was okay, but when he spoke, his slightly arrogant tone made Summer Mu angry again. She sneered, "Okay, okay, okay. Beck, when you think we don't deserve it, we don't deserve it. If you like it now, I have to like it. Damn it, there's no such thing in the world. You never looked up to me, why should I still look up to you!" She pushed him away, stood up, and hurriedly walked down the hill.

Beck quickly got up and watched her emaciated and stubborn figure in the twilight. This was the first time he had heard her swear, and his face had completely turned cold. He smiled instead of getting angry, and his voice slowed down as he spoke clearly behind her: "Summer Mu, you can be angry, you can blame me. I once said the wrong thing, and I made you angry. It's okay for you to get angry at me. But Summer Mu, Summer, your heart is with me. You and I... well, we both know."

 Summer Mu was told the central matter by him, revealing her secret that she wanted to conceal. However, he still spoke in such a cold and hard tone, which suddenly made her feel very sad. She thought: Why was he always like this, this man, always liked this, making her love and hurt at the same time.

She abruptly stopped and turned her head to stare at him. This surprised Beck, who also looked at her calmly.

One person stood on the slope, and the other stood at the foot of the slope. Not far away, she looked up at him and he lowered his head to stare.

"Beck, why are you always like this? "She said slowly. "Has the door ever come in? You never say you love me, you never reveal your heart. You provoke me, you make me fall in love, you make me fall in love. You just don't speak up. You're afraid of being passive, you're afraid of being controlled by me in love. Why, why do I have to foolishly open the door and walk out on my own? Why can't you just walk in and look at me, treat me with unconditional kindness, just like I treat you."

Her voice echoed on the open grassland. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back. She glared at him in frustration, and any further words would be embarrassing.

And Beck, for the first time in his life, stared blankly at a woman like this.

Summer Mu spoke the words that had accumulated in her heart for many days, feeling relieved for a moment. Then she turned her head and saw a vast sea and sky alternating between dusk and day. She ignored him and took a step away.

The more you walked, the quieter your heart became. Although it was a very pleasant thing to hit him in the face, there was also a hint of sadness in his heart. She walked aimlessly, unconsciously arriving on the road she had just arrived on. There was still a distance from the main road, but behind her, there were no footsteps. He didn't follow up.

Summer Mu felt even more sad and cursed herself for being useless. All that came to mind was the way he had just stood in the twilight. Echoing was his words: Summer, your heart was with me.

Finally, as she approached the road, someone followed behind her.

Summer Mu's face was stern, without looking back at him, standing on the roadside to take a taxi. The street lamp reflected two very close shadows, and he said calmly, "As I mentioned earlier, we just defeated R. It's a sensitive period and we can't be alone. I'll take a taxi back with you."

Summer Mu remained silent.

Soon, the car arrived.

She sat in the back seat, and Beck opened the other door and also sat in.

The car was driving in the flowing light of the city, the noise was on the side, and the silence was like a dream.

Neither of them spoke.

 When Beck arrived downstairs from the hotel, he took out his wallet. As soon as Summer Mu looked up, he saw his black coat stained with broken grass, his black leather wallet in his hand, and his slender and fair fingers. She turned her head and got off the car first.

Two people, one in front and one behind, entered the elevator and went upstairs.

This was also his arrangement. A few days ago, Summer Mu discovered that only the two of them stayed in this hotel, while the other colleagues were in another hotel. Moreover, they were still on the same level. Summer Mu furrowed her brow slightly, telling herself not to think about it anymore.

"Ding ."The elevator door opened, and Summer Mu didn't look at him and walked straight to her room. And he also had a cold face, entering the room and closing the door.
