It was Dongping who caused trouble, and Gu Xiang took it for him!
Liu Jingyun sat by the window and looked at the counter where Gu Xiang was taking the trouble to help a little girl choose a cake. The child couldn't make up his mind, choosing and changing again. Gu Xiang still had a smile on his face after working hard for a long time. He was very patient. By the time Gu Xiang saw off the little guest, the tea on the table had gone cold. Feel sorry. Gu Xiang came over and when we were busy downstairs, we were always caught to act as young men. But Jacob is my friend and we can try the new cake for free. Liu Jingyun smiled, you are so busy, it is me who disturbed you. Gu Xiang added some hot water to the fruit tea before sitting down. Liu Jingyun clasped her teacup with her fingers and said: I don't think you know that Sun Dongping is ill and hospitalized? Gu Xiang really didn't know that she was surprised and said: What's wrong? I had surgery for severe gastric ulcer. But he is fine now and is being raised in the hospital. Liu Jingyun trimmed her hair on her temples. I think Sister Xu Yang must have not told you, so I came here to tell you. Don't mind if it's me who's being meddlesome. No no. Gu Xiang said thank you repeatedly. I should go see him. Liu Jingyun smiled dryly and said: He and I have broken up. Gu Xiang raised the cup to his lips and stopped. Liu Jingyun said: He always has you in his heart and I can't compete with his memories, so I have to give up. Gu Xiang put down the tea cup and sneered: He always thinks of me when he is with you. I will never forget you when I am with you. Since you understand everything, why don't I understand it? Liu Jingyun and she looked at each other and the two women smiled knowingly. Everyone has a proud soul. Gu Xiang's arrogance made her resolutely walk into the prison and face Sun Dongping's cry and never look back. Liu Jingyun's arrogance means that she bravely accepts her own failure and ends the love with a knife, but she is happy with it. They are all very good girls who love bravely and have been deeply loved. It's just that there is no unchanging love in this world, so all expectations were ultimately disappointed. But arrogance can make them continue to walk straight with their heads raised. There might be someone waiting for them when they reach the next stop. So what are your future plans? Gu Xiang asked. Liu Jingyun said: My father knew that I took the initiative to break up with Sun Dongping, so he got very angry and forbade me to go home. But now I am not as weak as I was ten years ago and can go my own way. A college in Nanjing is interested in accepting me to teach. I also plan to further my studies in my favorite major. Are you leaving Shanghai? This city is too big and bustling to adapt to. Liu Jingyun raised her eyebrows. What about you? Just stay. Gu Xiang said that I never want to live a rough and homeless life again. Liu Jingyun glanced behind Gu Xiang. It was time to settle down and start a family. What? Gu Xiang didn't understand. Liu Jingyun shook her head. Gu Xiang couldn't help but said: There is a question I have always wanted to ask. Maybe it's a bit abrupt, but don't you regret it if you just leave like this? Liu Jingyun turned her head and thought maybe in the future. But so what. People live in the present. Just like sometimes I think if I could do it again, I would still help Sun Dongping up in that alley. Gu Xiang couldn't help but admire him and never regretted it. Liu Jingyun smiled and stood up to say goodbye to my car heading to Nanjing this afternoon. Have a safe journey and take care. Gu Xiang stood up to see her off. Come to Nanjing to see me when you have time. Liu Jingyun said politely. The two of them walked out of the tea restaurant while talking softly. Gu Xiang also helped Liu Jingyun stop a taxi. Liu Jingyun shook hands with her and said goodbye. Gu Xiang will probably not go to Nanjing to see Liu Jingyun, and Liu Jingyun will not contact Gu Xiang again in the future. Although the two of them laughed away their grudges, they could no longer be friends. Everyone felt a little regretful, but they also knew that no one could cross the railing in their hearts. Gu Xiang watched the taxi drive away. Someone came behind and stood silently. Gu Xiang looked back and realized that she had always been such a neat and decisive person, never procrastinating. Zhang Qirui looked at the constant flow of vehicles on the road and said softly: She was so wronged this time. I think she'll be fine. Gu Xiang said that she has always been much stronger than me. For her, Nanjing is indeed better than Shanghai. Did you hear what I just said? Gu Xiang asked slyly. Zhang Qirui smiled so innocently that I was just passing by. Gu Xiang feels a little emotional that you care about her. I care about you too. Zhang Qirui said and then turned around to leave. Its Rui. Gu Xiang opened her mouth and called out to him. Her eyes were clear and clear with puzzled questions: "Why are you so nice to me?" Zhang Qirui turned his head and thought for a moment before replying: Because I can't bear to see you being bad. Gu Xiang went to the hospital to visit Sun Dongping on the day he had his stitches removed.
Sun Dongping was so thin that he took off his hospital gown and wore it empty. He thought it was troublesome to wash his hair when he was sick, so he cut his hair short. When Gu Xiang saw him, he felt that he didn't look like he had just undergone an ordinary operation, but that he looked like a vegetative person who had just woken up. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad. How did it happen? Gu Xiang put down the fruit in his hand. If she was lucky, Xu Yang was not here, otherwise she might not be able to enter the ward. Sun Dong lay flat for half a month and felt like mushrooms were growing on his body. At this time, he seized the opportunity to do simple gymnastics by the window in the sunshine. Stomach trouble is an old problem. I got it from drinking before. Since when did you love drinking so much? Gu Xiang asked casually. Sun Dongping stopped and hesitated, not knowing whether he should say anything. I always feel that speaking out about those things is suspected of gaining sympathy. Besides, no matter how depressed he was at that time, it would still be much better than Gu Xiang being in jail. In fact, he could guess it even if he didn't tell Gu Xiang. She understood Sun Dongping and knew that he had a sentimental side. It is common sense to drink to relieve one's sorrows, even if one drinks stomach problems and is hospitalized. Gu Xiang sighed. Your body is yours and you should take care of it. Sun Dongping smiled bitterly. After experiencing this, I finally understood. It hurts oneself and drags down others. It was really hard for my sister to go back and forth between the company and the hospital during this period and she had to hide it from my parents. I always feel that the company's responsibilities are too heavy and it is natural for me to share them with her. Now I understand that she actually doesn't like working in the company, she just doesn't trust me and wants to help me. So are you sensible now? Be sensible. Sun Dongping nodded heavily. Her delay in getting married was actually because of me. If I can't support her alone, she won't be able to get married and have children with confidence. But I still caused trouble to her. He came over. Gu Xiang felt very sad when he saw his sallow face. Liu Jingyun left. He met with me before leaving. Gu Xiang told him. What did you talk about? Sun Dongping was very curious. Did he scold me together? have. Gu Xiang sneered. If the two of us were crueler, you would have been cut into pieces and sunk at the bottom of the Huangpu River. It's all because of you that we are in so much pain. Sun Dongping slowly sat down on the sofa. His face was turned away from Guang Xiang, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. But thinking about it, I should feel guilty and melancholy. So you all have to leave me. Sun Dongping whispered. Gu Xiang felt like her heart was being pulled, but what could she say? On the emotional stage, three people cannot become a drama. If one quits and two quit the scene, they will no longer be able to sing. Who would reach this point if there was a better choice? Sun Dongping asked: Will we meet again in the future? Gu Xiang said: Probably so. For example, I would never not invite you to a holiday or birthday. Not afraid of embarrassment? We are all adults, how can we not even have this sense? In eight years' time, you will have a big belly and I will be a yellow-faced woman. What else can I not see? They both laughed. Sun Dongping asked again: If Gu Xiang hadn't had that incident and we had gone to college together and graduated and worked together, would we still be together? Gu Xiang thought for a while and maybe you might turn around and dump me when you meet a more attractive girl in college. Or maybe we enter a society where our values ??change and finally part ways. Who knows? Every hypothesis has countless possibilities. The two of us have never forgotten Dongping. Isn’t it because that relationship happened to end at the most beautiful moment? Sun Dongping rolled his eyes, yes, it was indeed so beautiful that I can remember it for a lifetime. Gu Xiang stared at him tenderly and said: I love you Dongping. I still love you eight years ago. Sun Dongping also replied softly: I also loved you eight years ago. It was as if there was a time travel and the two of them woke up from a big dream and found that eight years had passed and their love was already on the other side of the fault. Gu Xiang squatted in front of Sun Dongping and reached out to hug him. Sun Dongping held her in his arms and placed his chin on top of her head, enjoying the gentle fragrance of her hair. The two of them hugged each other so tightly it was as if they had never been apart. After leaving the hospital, Gu Xiang was in no hurry to return to the hotel. She decided to skip her evening shift to take a good look at the city where she had stayed for more than half a year. Night falls slowly, and the tall buildings on both sides of the river are lit up with lights. It was still very cold in Shanghai in early spring, and the cold wind on the river was strong. Tourists watching the night view hunched their necks and hurriedly clicked the shutter, as if if they were slower, the beautiful scenery would slip away. The changing neon lights of game advertisements on high-rise buildings dyed the river water into rainbow colors. Gorgeous tourist boats passed by the river one after another and headed towards the more open and distant water. A girl next to me asked her boyfriend: If I drop a bottle with a note here, where do you think it will float? The boy said in a silly and serious tone: He would probably get stuck in the sand.
Gu Xiang couldn't help but burst into laughter. Fortunately, the wind was too strong and the young couple didn't hear it. Gu Xiang remembered that when she first came to Shanghai more than half a year ago, she was led into this prosperous world by Zhang Qirui like a headless fly with her messy hair. She knew her life would change, although she didn't know how it would turn out. At that time, she was still obsessed with her lost relationship and always thought: What would happen if Sun Dongping and I met again on the street? Silent tears or excited hugs? At that time, her mind was not as open as it is now, her vision was not so bright, and her hope did not fly so far. She is timid, has low self-esteem, is narcissistic and arrogant. She is eager to prove herself as a young person who has just left school and entered society. Half a year is actually so short that all the stories just happened yesterday. Eight years is actually just a blink of an eye. Just close her and you can go back to the past. Grandma made fish soup and waited for her to come home from school. Sun Dongping helped her hold her schoolbag and queue at the bus stop. The journey home was long but his time with her was so short. Every kiss is still burning at the corner of the lips, and every love word is still ringing in the ears. When she opened her eyes, the wind took them all away. The lights of the city almost illuminated the sky, and there were clouds dyed red by the lights floating in the sky. Gu Xiang kept looking up. After a long time, I started to hallucinate and felt like I was floating in the clouds. After leaving the riverside, Gu Xiang chose a random direction and walked down. She walked slowly, sometimes stopping to look at the scenery and passers-by. This city is so big and she just came to take a good look at it today. There are ancient buildings sandwiched between high-rise steel buildings. Generations of people have lived in this old house and followed the prosperity of the city to stage their own joys and sorrows. It was late at night and she was tired from walking. I ordered a hot tea in a small shop that was open all night and sat by the window, watching the streets where traffic was still flowing and the men and women in colorful clothes returning from the bar having fun. Business in the store was slow, so the clerk was sleepy and didn't bother her. He probably just thought she was a homeless person. Gu Xiang was not sleepy at all. There was a heater next to her feet and she felt very comfortable. Her mind was flashing through the past, from meeting to falling in love to separation to the end. Then she planned to package it all up like computer files and throw them into a miscellaneous folder. I don’t know when the next time I’ll browse it will be. Falling in love again? marry? Or the birth of a child? Destiny was moving forward unstoppably along its trajectory, and she had to work hard to keep up. There was really no extra time for her to miss the past. Gu Xiang just sat like this, sometimes taking a nap with his eyes closed, sometimes flipping through free magazines. Hot tea can be refilled. She took advantage of this small shop. The city finally fell asleep and then woke up. The sky started to light up and there were more cars on the road. When the employees in the store started to change shifts, Gu Xiang stood up, stamped his legs that were a little numb after sitting all night, and left. On the roadside, there was an old lady who came out early to sell breakfast. Her pale hair was trembling in the cold wind. Gu Xiang bought milk and rice dumplings without asking the old man for the twenty yuan change. She ate breakfast and walked to the hotel. Her ability to recognize directions was infinitely better than Zhang Qirui's, so she didn't worry at all about not being able to find her way home. It was already bright when we walked to the hotel. The shops along the way were not open yet, but there were already white-collar workers rushing to work on the road. Gu Xiang wiped his cold face and walked into the hotel. It was still early and the lobby was still quiet. There is a person sitting on the sofa in the small cafe on the left. Seeing Gu Xiang, he stood up. There was a green shadow under the eyes of Qingjun's face. The neatly tailored suit is a little wrinkled and the collar of the shirt is loose, looking tired. Sun Dongping called me. Zhang Qirui said that he said that you always suppress your emotions, so he was a little worried about you. Gu Xiang walked towards him with very light steps, as if he was afraid of waking up from a dream. Will you wait for me all night? You didn't bring your cell phone. I'm still wondering if I should call the police if you don't come back by morning. Gu Xiang smiled, I just went out for a walk. I know Sun Dongping told me everything. Zhang Qirui nodded, are you okay? Gu Xiang put his hand on his chest and said, "I'm just a little sad." Zhang Qirui said nothing this time. He opened his arms and hugged Gu Xiang tightly.
