"Cui Xueli, are you crazy, how can you bring a male classmate into the dormitory building. ”

The sun shone on the white ivory skin of the bedroom, and she quickly flashed the two cherry petal-like eyes, and her slender nose sucked sharply.

Then she skimmed her delicate and small peach-colored lips, and inserted them at her waist, deliberately putting on a condescending and arrogant look. Staring at her, a trace of horror flashed across Cui Xueli's stiff face with a smile.

"You help me, I really can't think of anywhere else but here. ”

"Yo, there's nowhere to go, what kind of international jokes are you making. Aren't you very powerful? You are very good at pretending to be simple and pleasing people? If you are willing to lower your posture a little more, I think the young master you keep talking about can also help you. Oh, I almost forgot that you were begging another man for the sake of one man. No matter how benevolent he is, he won't help you with such a humiliating favor. Isn't this a hat in the middle of nowhere?"

The girl grabbed the arm of the head of the dormitory and looked at her with a smile, and said something like a jealous joke between the girls, but when she looked at her with round eyes, the obvious unhappiness flowing in her eyes told Shirley that this was not a joke.

Shirley looked at Gu Beichen in her arms affectionately.

She cleared her hoarse throat and pleaded with her urgently.

"Just a moment, when he wakes up, I'll let him go immediately, okay?"

The dark light that came out of the eyes of the two women in front of her was aggressive, making people very dizzy after looking at it for a long time. But at the moment, she can't worry so much.

In the past, if you were flattering or inciting flattery, Shirley was a lot of casual words. But at this moment, her heart is constantly protesting.

Shirley's face became more and more flushed, and she bit her lip desperately, feeling embarrassed, but she still showed an embarrassed smile when she looked up at the two women standing in front of her.

"You help me this time, and I will remember your friendship in the future. Shirley leaned down slightly.

"Yo, what are we doing in our dormitory, or are we under the banner of your family?"

The girl standing beside the head of the dormitory stretched out her graceful swan neck, and she glanced curiously at him lying in Shirley's arms.

"Ah, isn't this Senior Gu Beichen?" she shouted as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Come here, come and help me see if this is Senior Gu Beichen. The woman waved angrily to the opposite bedroom.

Shirley's heart was a little shaken, and she looked at her with a shudder in her eyes. His face, as clean as a narcissus, became more and more pale with embarrassment.

She stared blankly at the crowd like clowns jumping off the beam, and shouted angrily: "I'm not afraid of shadows, and I'm just here to ask for help, yes, it's love to help, and it's my duty not to help." Since there has never been a favor, it is good that everyone abides by their duties. If you think I'm an eyesore, I'll go. Do you need to be so excited? Moreover, the relationship between me and him is not at all what you speculated. What kind of person am I, do you know me? ”

Shirley said, her body shivering, and she breathed heavily.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know you that well. I don't think people who don't know you hate you so much, and if I do, I'm afraid I'll learn from you. That's not going to be a good deal. ”

Passive to excited, agitated to angry, anger then transformed into a deep hatred of indifference. The hope in Cui Xueli's eyes gradually faded.

"Hahaha, seeing that the rabbit was forced to be anxious and bit someone, I don't know which arrogant guy spread rumors all over the school. If the school leaders don't find you, you still have to thank God for being a man with your tail between your legs. The girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"You're not afraid of shadows, and there won't be crooked shadows at all, you're grandstanding. ”

The guys gathered around him laughed and leaned back and laughed, if the leading girl said two more words, it would be a brilliant backlash.

Shirley didn't have the courage to argue any more, and she looked at the people with a grim face.

"You're not willing to help, are you?" said Shirley, with tears glistening to herself.

The head of the dormitory swept her face, and when she begged her so lowly, her face turned red and white, and her heart slowly became less comfortable.

She smoothed the strands of hair scattered around her nose, and then turned her face away angrily, and roared lukewarmly. "Go away, go away, I'm annoyed when I see you. You don't have to come in when you walk out the door, so everyone doesn't have to talk about you being such a filthy alien who spoils the atmosphere of our bedroom. ”

Shirley's wood-like pestle didn't move there, watching the self-directed self-performance of the group of people from such a close distance, a thin layer of hard cocoons slowly formed in her ears, and at that moment, through the beast-like eyes of those people, and the breath like a poisonous snake, Cui Shirley laughed dumbly. She laughed at herself knowing the hearts of this group of people, and she could still plead to them so humbly.

The moment the door was slammed shut, her legs lost their strength in an instant, and she fell to the cold marble floor. Looking at the door that was so tightly closed that there was no gap, he smiled helplessly.

The news that Shirley was blasted out of the dormitory building was spread by the girls who took the lead in making trouble, and within half a day, Shirley was ruthlessly blocked. Even if they meet her on the playground, the girls who have always loved to make a splash only think of her as an innocuous air. Those people expected that no matter how rampant they abused her, she would not and could not stop the invasion of those people. After all, if she tears her face, she is not an opponent without any aura.

"Smack!"

Shirley was unsteady on her feet and immediately slipped on the cold concrete floor, and her back slammed into the corner of the long table as her body fell.

"Ahh

"Don't go too far. ”

Shirley endured the pain, and in her rage, her harsh words vaguely revealed the intention to tear her face.

She hunched over and took a step closer to the girl who had stopped in front of the head of the dormitory that day.

"Oh, looking at your delicate and lovely appearance, my heart is about to be relieved. The girl grabbed Shirley's chin. His eyes were full of feigned pity.

"You let go. In the sneer, Shirley gritted her teeth.

With a thud, the heavy snow fell heavily on the hostile eyes of the two girls, and Shirley felt her eardrums buzz with the cold wind.

The trees swayed violently by the sudden wind, and the snow fell through the swaying branches again.

The winter sun is not dazzling, but has a soft fullness.

Large flakes of snow wrapped in dried leaves fell at Shirley's feet, and Shirley hugged the plastic bag tightly in her arms, and then strode on the snow.

When she walked to the door of the rough house, she gently pressed her hand on the doorknob, and before she could ring the doorbell, she hesitated and turned her back to look at the snow.

His throat was dumb, and even his pale lips were stained with a lonely gloom. She didn't want to tell him that she had been heckled out of the school by the girls. At this moment, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and compared to the cold reality, she was afraid that his resistance to her was due to her weakness. Yes, this time she lost her face, if it weren't for Gu Beichen not leaving the school, she would definitely report to the Academic Affairs Office at this time.

"It's cold. ”

She walked slowly into the stairwell with her back to the door, and in the dim and damp light, she subconsciously wrapped her clothes tighter.

Shirley kept thinking about it, thinking about what kind of reason could block Gu Beichen's exclusive conjecture.

"Hey, what are you doing there? Aren't you coming in?"

Gu Beichen stood on the edge of the door and asked as if leaning in. From the tireless pacing of a figure in front of the window just now, until the sound of the small footsteps became more and more urgent, eager like a trot, Gu Beichen didn't say anything, but his heart kept roaring with the pace.

"People are here, what are you thinking about? Why are there still man-eating monsters in this house?"

Gu Beichen smiled disapprovingly, and then shook off the hair that had just been washed and still hung with water droplets, the water droplets between the hair threads were transparent, and equally transparent was his pale and weak face.

"I, I'm just going to come and see if you need anything, and then I'll leave right away. “

Gu Beichen let go of his arm and habitually inserted his left hand into his trouser pocket.

"Yes, of course there is a need, but what I need, can I do it as long as I say it?"

Gu Beichen turned sideways and made way for Shirley to enter the door.

"It's freezing outside, why does Shirley, who has always been afraid of the cold, want to stand here and feel the snow wind in the south?"

Gu Beichen carefully stretched out his hand to shake off the ice crystals that were scattered on Shirley's head.

The dull ink-colored clouds slowly dispersed from the middle to both sides, and a beam of sunlight fell directly on him, Cui Xueli looked at him, and a pair of wings seemed to grow behind him in a trance. Even the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

His slightly curved eyes slowly narrowed into a line.

"Hey, what are you doing there, waiting for me to take your princess in?" Gu Beichen's tone was obviously impatient, he pulled her arm, and the corners of his lips had a hint of a thief's smile.

The temperature inside the house is no warmer than outside.

Cui Xueli looked around in annoyance, the musty smell mixed with the aroma of steaming coffee, not to mention how intoxicating the sourness was. Thinking about Gu Beichen, who loves cleanliness and loves cleanliness, and is now committed to a low-class rental house, how will he spend his days in the future. Cui Xueli's mood instantly improved.

She patted the hard flat bed and teased: "You are used to sleeping Simmons, so you have changed to sleeping on the flat bed." Even I, who had never experienced the softness of Simmons, was stunned when I heard it. Let's talk about how to do it. ”

Shirley felt a burst of joy in her heart, and she took a step forward to bypass Gu Beichen. She looked around, then tilted her head back to the steaming coffee table.

She pointed with her hand,

"If you still have any unfinished coffee, make me a cup too. ”

Cui Xueli said as she lifted the corner of her trench coat-style down jacket, and then slowly sat down close to the chair.

"Wait. ”

Gu Beichen was embarrassed to look up at Shirley, he took out a stack of paper towels from the coffee table, wiped the dust on the chair attentively, and then he flattened the remaining few paper towels on it.

"You may be seated. He smiled and looked at Shirley.

"Why did you waste so many tissues, before I can sit down, you can take some first. Save on buying it again. Cui Xueli neatly folded the spread paper towel and put it back on the coffee table.

"You're too simple, too. “

"You, are you really used to living in such a humble place?"

Cui Xueli quickly glanced at the list of various household appliances in the room, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, when I first saw you, I was prepared that one day I might not be able to eat and live as well as here. But even so, I don't regret it. “

"You don't fight with your brother. ”

Cui Shirley gave him a blank look and took the coffee from his hand.

"I don't think there will be a chance to turn the tables around, and besides, my parents are getting older, and they may be sad if they know that our brothers are fighting like that. Both of them are close relatives, so why bother. I don't want them to be embarrassed. The elder brother has been the only designated successor in the family since he was a child, and his father has cultivated him into an unsmiling successor over the years. Next week is his brother's wedding, and a woman he doesn't love at all. My brother sacrificed so much for the sake of people's interests, and I don't want to live like another him. ”

The snow outside the window is getting denser and denser. The whole small apartment building was empty, almost lifeless from the heavy snow.

A few strands of broken hair scattered in front of his forehead covered his small half of his face, Beichen raised his hand and gently grabbed the fine and stylish forehead hair, his tea-black pupils revealed a mysterious stubbornness, he twitched his chin hard, the two thin lips like cherry blossoms tightly pursed out a crimson kiss mark, he stood in front of her arrogantly and leisurely, he did not sweep her with his eyes, but the faint loneliness under those eyes revealed his true heart.

"You've changed, and you're not the same as the one I knew before. I was involved in the orchestra battle between you and Zheng Muxuan before, although I was the least important distractor. To be precise, it's a vague item and a trick, I'm just trying to cover Zhou Huixi's secret movements, but I still feel a sense of crisis from the tone you spoke to him. ”

"I thought it didn't matter, you were very stubborn and dead-headed. ”

Shirley's wet eyes rolled. "By the way, I forgot all the things I was still carrying in my hand while talking to you. Shirley walked to the kitchen behind Beichen, and she hurriedly put the contents of the plastic bag in her hand into the kitchen cabinet next to each other.

"It's cold. Cui Xueli shivered from the cold, her face was red, and her cheeks were extremely hot because she had been frozen for a long time.

Gu Beichen looked at Cui Xueli, and Cui Xueli also turned her head to look at him intently. His shoulders were also trembling unobeyed, but he still brought the electric fan placed in the corner of the room to Shirley, he pressed the switch, and the fan blades rotated from slow to fast under the continuous noise of "whirring". After a long while, Shirley Shi had the spirit, she turned around and held up the base of the electric fan, took it to Gu Beichen, and squirmed with the swing of the electric fan to sit next to Gu Beichen again.

"Beichen, actually, I, if I say that there are some things I don't care about at all, what I want is actually very simple and pure. “

She stared blankly at the fan.

"I've seen and experienced those disappointing things, I was kicked out of the house by my grandfather after my parents divorced, I thought my life was over, and then when I was 12 years old, I almost died under the wheels of a fatigued driver, and if I hadn't stood up and escaped at the last moment, I wouldn't have seen the drunken sunset the next day. yes,So,I'm the one who died once.,What else do I have to worry about?,It's all lucky.。。 But to be able to recognize this layer, I am really grateful to Zhou Huixi, Zhou Huixi taught me what true love is with her persistence, she really loves Zheng Muxuan, she can give up everything for that boy, even if the warmth this person gives her is her own wishful thinking. I lost to her completely just by looking at this, and even if I loved someone again, I didn't get to the point of being a moth to a fire, and I always secretly measured whether it was worth it. Until that day, she left silently dragging a suitcase one person high. I realized that I was very eager for love, but I longed for a complete love more than the person I liked. I yearn for the feeling of being held in the palm of my hand and treated as a treasure, despite my humble feelings. “

Tears were dripping down, Shirley smiled and looked up at Beichen, as if she didn't want to wipe it off at all, her heart was choked like rain, her eyelids were stained with tears, but her mouth slowly bloomed into a proud Margaret. Gu Beichen couldn't help but feel heartache when he looked at her like this.

"Do you really like me like this? My background is something that a young master like you can't imagine at all, I have lived a real failure in the past 20 years, and even family affection is like a cloud of smoke. “

He opened his mouth, speechless with excitement. Before Gu Beichen could react, her frozen eyebrows rose very hard, meeting his sad gaze that was stunned and puzzled. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said slowly: "You are really abnormal today, so abnormal that I can't even figure out if you have all ulterior motives. Do you deliver what you say to me and to everyone you say?"

Gu Beichen deliberately raised his head to look at the gray sky, he didn't notice that the smile on Shirley's lips beside him became more and more heartfelt cheerful.

"Forget it, I didn't expect the same kind of love as mercy. ”

"Then I, I'll make you a snack. If you want to eat something, Chinese food or Western food, I'm good at it. If it weren't for the fact that you are sensible to my heart, I wouldn't have treated you so hard. Shirley's thoughts and mood wavered, and she tried to force herself to calm her fluctuating heart. But the more this happened, the more her heart was like a scar that had been revealed, and the pain gradually spread to her whole body. She squeezed out a rainbow smile and whispered softly in his ear.

She passed by him, turned and disappeared into the other corner.

In the afternoon, the cold air gradually dissipated, and the dark cumulus clouds dissipated together, Gu Beichen stood quietly in the gorgeous sunlight, through the fabric curtains raised by the wind, the clear snowflakes drifted into the hut that was still very dim just now, and then quietly spread over his hair with the fragrance of pine and cypress.

"In order to inherit the family business, I have paid a lot both openly and secretly. Gu Beichen, don't you know? In order to sit in the position of chairman, I personally buried my love that had been in business for seven years. Watching her get on the flight to Paris, my heart was bleeding, but without the support of the Lu family, my father's painstaking career would collapse at any time, and at this critical turning point, the Lu family was not only willing to contribute regardless of previous suspicions. Beichen, do you think Miss Lu is happy to accept this family business? The housekeeper who just entered the door to greet you is the love of her life, and the reason why she chose me is nothing more than to value my status, and I have an agreement with her, nominally we are a close husband and wife, and no one is allowed to bring personal feelings to the public. But of course we can live our own lives behind closed doors, and it's good that we don't commit any crimes in the autumn. She brings me wealth, and I bring her fame. ”

The light in Gu Beiming's eyes was terrifying. He said very arrogantly: "I have lost everything I have seen, and now I have no way back." Yes, my life seems to be bright, but behind the apparent light is already dirty. But you, your life has just begun, why do you want to live such a life? You are also eager to repeat my mistakes and live a life of walking on thin ice? Do you want to be full of the open and secret struggles of the people around you, as well as the ups and downs of your career, do you want to mess around with unpredictable thoughts? The crown looks good on your head, but can you bear the weight?"

Gu Beiming smiled, his eyes swept towards his younger brother's face as if he was nothing, and when he turned his head to face the window bathed in his eyes, his eyes that were covered with gray were rippling again.

"Beichen, even if you are my own brother, you can't stand up and block my way, if we meet in Vanity Fair one day, I will not hesitate to accept your declaration of war. And, I'm sure I'm not inferior to you. Now in my eyes, in addition to interests, they are still interests. There is no family affection in the contest of interests. ”

Gu Beichen looked at Gu Beiming's face firmly, and he was deeply moved by the pain in his heart. His nose was sour. In the suffocating private space, his heart was like a knife, and he looked at the familiar face in astonishment. "Tick tock. There seemed to be bloody blood in his heart slowly diffusing into a needle mist.

"Brother, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous at all. Because of me, I want to live my life in my own way, and I sincerely congratulate you on getting married, and since my brother misinterprets my intentions so much, I just turn around and leave. Also, I got a girlfriend and immediately left the campus where I had lived for more than three years, and I thought about it and didn't move back home. ”

His eyes were faintly flashing with crystal tears, Gu Beichen raised his hand and gently wiped his eyelids with the back of his hand, and he said to his brother with a happy smile in his teary eyes.

"I won't follow the path you have taken, and I won't be a copy or a substitute for you, so will you really bless me?"

Gu Beichen smacked his lips, and the smile that bloomed on his lips was sad and warm.

Gu Beiming looked at him blankly, he secretly observed his face, and after a little hesitation, he stared at his face again with his expressionless eyes. "Gu Beichen, I can only wish you good luck for the time being, and no matter what situation you are in in the future, you can contact me as soon as you need anything. As long as you keep your promise today, I will meet all your requirements. After the short answer, Gu Beiming's eyes were filled with damp moisture. "I wish you and I were just ordinary brothers, but the reality between us brothers is cruel. He has torn off our relationship for years. ”

Gu Beiming's eyes flickered, mixed with all kinds of complicated feelings. Beichen sighed pityingly, "Brother, I still often recall the scenes of my childhood, but I really can't go back to everything between us." ”

Loneliness was like a churning sea, slowly devouring his heart. "You've changed, and even though you don't say it, I feel your change. Thank you for not choosing to remain silent or change the subject today, I know that your mind and pain are between those impetuous interests, although I would love to have you all that you have in mind. But, brother, don't go too far, let alone do anything for those complicated things, at that time you and I are really afraid that you will regret it the most because the gains outweigh the losses. “

Gu Beichen endured the loss, and was once again deeply rotted in his stomach by the unfinished words, and he gently patted his brother's shoulder, which had lost a lot of weight, like a child. At the moment when Gu Beiming suddenly raised his face, Beichen dragged his tired body quietly into the room.

He slowly lay down on the flat bed and closed his eyes. Then, look at the ceiling. He stretched out his finger and gestured up and down in the air, just as his finger was about to touch the snowflakes that flashed in the corner of the window.

Shirley's voice burst into his ears.

"Borrow your kitchen utensils again, by the way, where did you just put the shovel?"

Cui Xueli was digging for some dirty things in the sink, and the water in the sink disappeared with a "bang". "Is it the first time that you are living alone? No matter how good the family is, but you have lived in a dormitory for more than three years, it is possible that you also need to be taken care of at school. Cui Shirley muttered quietly, her eyes showing a hint of strangeness. "Hey, do you hear me? Where's the shovel, you hand me it. Hearing Shirley's call, Gu Beichen nodded, and walked towards the balcony covered by thick ice. He grabbed the doorknob, but it wouldn't open. After trying his best again and again, Gu Beichen simply used his body as a hammer to slam the door fiercely.

Shirley stood stunned, stunned.

"Forget it, I still don't make fried food, after all, you just sobered up and your stomach is not good, I'll make you soft rice porridge." “

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Shirley was stunned for a long time, and then said leisurely.

"Sorry, thank you. ”

Gu Beichen thanked him in a panic, and his tone was still as elegant as ever. Shirley turned around happily, tiptoeing to look at the horrific scene inside the long window. He complained countless times in his heart about why he chose such a lame and unsightly place to live in the first place.

"Didn't you think about going to the groceries and buying a light bulb to replace it? ”

Cui Xueli's patience and curiosity rose to the extreme, and she glanced at Gu Beichen with contempt.

"I was too busy to forget. Gu Beichen swallowed his saliva, and his face became even more gloomy.

"Oh, you can learn from me. While speaking, Cui Xueli seriously touched the light bulb, she gently rotated the light bulb to the right, and as soon as the "bright" voice fell, the light really lit up very obediently.

"You're amazing. Seeing Cui Xueli smiling relaxedly, Gu Beichen still felt a sullen breath in his heart.

He stood quietly behind Cui Xueli like this, and he didn't know how long it had been. He said lightly.

"I, can I wait for you? I want to hear what you have to say. ”

Gu Beichen stood in the crimson glow that was about to dissipate, and he looked at her quietly and affectionately.

"What did you say?" Shirley put down the light bulb in her hand, she didn't speak, she just couldn't help but smile sweetly.
