Chapter 010: The Radiant Marigold

I replied with a word of gratitude, and my tone was very certain

Ge Yu replied, "You are really silly." I did not respond, partly because I did not know how to reply, and partly because it was time to depart; one cannot use a mobile phone while driving a bus

I finally understood the old man's meaning. I said: "Sir, I have two band-aids here for you to use for now. As for the bus driver of route 43, he is not from the same bus station as I am. If you want to find him, you will need to go to the bus station where route 43 operates."

I was taken aback and said: I don't know you, what's wrong?

For several consecutive days, I had not encountered Ge Yu again. A week later, I tentatively sent a message to Ge Yu.

"Young man, what are you afraid of? Open the car door, I have a question for you." Just as he was speaking, that face moved away from the car window and turned to board the bus

I was taken aback and said, trembling with fear: You should get in the car instead.

I nod on the outside, but inside I say, go ahead and pretend, keep acting, I will accompany you to the end, let's see who is the true Oscar winner.

When the car reached Charm City, the little girl waved at me, signaling that she wanted to get in. Although I was terrified, I still stopped.

Are you doing well? I admit this phrase is indeed quite clichéd. I am just an ordinary person, not a wealthy young master. I do not really understand those smooth-talking or poetic expressions.

A bloodied face from m.hetushu.com was pressed against the car window, staring at me with wide-open eyes

I have always been concerned about Ge Yu

After finishing all this, I suddenly remembered that this time it was a complete disaster! Looking at the clock, it had been a full seventeen minutes!

This time, I mustered the courage to say something I personally found quite cheesy, and after sending the message, my face turned red

Sigh, I let out a heavy breath; the very thing I least wanted to happen has occurred. A poor, insignificant person has fallen in love with a goddess. This is a living, breathing version of the scenario where one is unexpectedly preparing to become a father.

My heart trembled, and I said: It's over!

On that day, I set off as usual. When I arrived at the coking plant terminal, I rested with my hands behind my head, eyes closed against the seat. I truly wished that Ge Yu would appear at the window of the bus, knock on the glass, and say to me: Abu, have you missed me?

The old man reached up to touch the wound on his forehead, wincing in pain as he inhaled sharply, and said: "Damn it! That son of a bitch threw a can out of the window while driving, and it hit me right on the head. I need to settle the score with him"

You do not know, I must not park for more than 10 minutes, otherwise something serious will happen I started the engine and asked the old man if he wanted a ride If not, I would hurry to leave

Suddenly, a series of banging and thumping sounds came from the window on my left. In my excitement, I thought my dream had come true, and I quickly turned to look at the car window.

When the bus was heading back, everything was quite normal. However, when it reached the Meili City stop, I saw that little girl standing under the Meili City sign from a distance again. This time, she was staring at me and did not smile.

A true man should not be so casual. If I really wanted to do that, I would start by pursuing you first. After saying this, I opened the door and walked out

I asked him: So you mean that in order to understand Ge Yu's thoughts, we first need to search for her body

I finally saw clearly that this was an old man of about sixty years old, with a gash on his forehead, blood streaming down his cheeks, covering his entire face

The old man stood right behind me and asked, "What the hell happened?"

More than a month has passed, and the suited gentleman has news. On a night of heavy rain, he came to the bus station to find me, saying that Ge Yu had her heart removed twelve years ago, and her body later disappeared without a trace. According to his inquiries through connections, it is highly likely that the body was retrieved by her family.

Returning the ticket to me now means completely severing ties with me and never contacting me again

The little girl walked to the car door and said: Get out of the car, I have something for you

It is a blessing, not a curse; if it is a curse, one cannot escape it. Immediately, I got out of the car. The little girl took out two tickets for a book and a movie from her pocket and handed them to me, saying: She asked me to give this to you, so that you would forget her

I didn't care whether it was the right time or not, I directly took out my phone and called Ge Yu, only to be informed that the number you dialed is currently turned off

She said: I like marigolds, and after I die, I want to be buried among the marigolds

Ge Yu still hasn't replied

We seem to have an unspoken understanding; I do not ask him his name, and he does not mention his name either

The suited man nodded and said: Indeed, we must go to her hometown, Sanghuai Village, to see where her body is buried. This will allow us to take targeted action and force her to appear, thus enabling us to save you

Ge Yu is not dead. I have dined with her, walked the streets with her, watched movies with her, touched her body, and kissed her red lips. This is my personal experience; how could it be false?

Ge Yu did not reply, and I felt embarrassed to send another message. A week later, I still sent a text message, saying: I miss you.

I hurriedly jumped into the driver's seat and anxiously started the car. The old man asked, "What are you in such a hurry for?"

When I took a look, I gasped in surprise. These two movie tickets were indeed from the film "Midnight Horror" that I had watched with Ge Yu. After we bought the tickets, she said it was her first time watching a movie with a boy and that she wanted to keep the tickets as a memento, so I gave them to her

I do not want to inform him about the matter of the ghost hitting the wall, because at his age, if he gets frightened and it causes some issues with his heart, I cannot bear that responsibility

Upon getting into the car, I took a bouquet of marigolds from beside the driver's seat. That afternoon, while accompanying Ge Yu on a shopping trip, a man was holding a large bouquet of roses, proposing to another girl on the street. I asked Ge Yu: Do you prefer red roses or white roses?

What are you doing

Ah! I was so startled that I jumped up, every hair on my body stood on end. Just as I was about to take down the life hammer, that face suddenly spoke.

While driving, I remained in a semi-dazed state, not even aware of whether the passengers had paid their fare. For some reason, my mind was filled with the image and smile of Ge Yu. I cannot comprehend what exactly her charm is.

She seemed to have suddenly vanished from my life, disappearing so completely as if she had never existed at all

You have fallen in love with someone you should not love, someone you cannot love, do you know that

In fact, I really want to experience what a woman feels like, but for some reason, I still chose to walk out of the room. Walking on the bustling streets, surrounded by the bright lights and the flow of traffic, I finally realized that this must be love

He got into the car and asked me: Young man, may I ask you, who is the driver of bus route 43

It was already 11:30 PM when I returned to the bus station. I was sitting on bus number 14, lost in thought, when suddenly I received a text message on my phone

I may have fallen in love with her. Since it is a sincere love, I will not casually desecrate it like a book, because the person I love will always be the most sacred in my heart

The little girl glanced at the old man beside me, shaking her head with a look of fear on her face. The old man did indeed have a fierce and intimidating appearance, especially with his face covered in blood, which would be utterly overwhelming for a child.

But I turned and walked towards the door.

I do not know what the man in the suit intends by telling me these things, but I feel certain that he is deceiving me. At that moment, I decided to follow the lead and said: "Alright, let me ask my supervisor for leave. Whenever I get the approval, we will go then, is that okay?"

The old man said he happened to be taking this trip, and I muttered to myself, may you seek your own blessings

You have fallen in love with me. The tone is very certain

I replied: As long as I love her, then I believe she should love and can love

Why did I fall in love with her after just one day of being together? Reflecting carefully on the events of the day, every gesture and movement of hers was so captivating, so soul-stirring

As I pondered, I couldn't help but smile, for a loser like me finds the greatest happiness in being immersed in the world of my own fantasies

The suited gentleman nodded, opened the dormitory door, and disappeared into the night rain.

The little girl did not speak, turned around, and was about to leave. I said: Wait for me a moment.

After speaking, I took out the emergency medical cotton and iodine, briefly treated his wound, and finally applied a band-aid.
