Chapter 126: The Covenant
"Officer Zhang came to live in Huaxiang a long time ago, also to protect you?"
"Hmm. I probably wouldn't be sitting here without him, so to speak. "Zhang Qifufa, Zhou Jingrui was involved before after all, there is no need for her to hide it from him.
When he mentioned Zhang Xiao, he obviously saw the corners of Ganluo's mouth rising slightly, looking at the shallow smile, Zhou Jingrui blocked his heart in one breath, and his tone was a little unwilling, "You like him?"
Gan Luo looked at his eyes, almost without hesitation, looked at the boy in front of him and nodded, seeing Zhou Jingrui's dim gaze, the corners of her lips moved slightly but did not speak, since he asked, she would answer truthfully, and now in such a situation, it is useless to say more.
Zhou Jingrui looked deeply at the girl in front of him, "Did you know him before I came to Yanghe?"
"After you came to Yanghe. Gan Luo frowned slightly.
"Before he came to Yanghe, did you like me, even a little?"
This sentence is like a fish in the throat, when he said it, the suppressed feeling in his heart did not remove but the backlog was more painful, and she didn't get along for a long time, but it was the happiest day Zhou Jingrui ever had, he often dreamed of the crape myrtle in his dreams, and dreamed of the girl who took care of him until three o'clock in the morning, he didn't believe that she didn't have a little good impression of himself, on the basis of a little good feeling, did she like herself? Even a little bit?
Thinking of the first time he fell in front of the door of the Zhou family, Gan Luo had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a trace of nervousness in his heart, he was afraid that his words would hurt the jade-like young man in front of him, "At first, there was a good feeling, but more, it was curiosity." Sometimes I feel like you're the same person as me in some ways...... So, this favor comes from occasional empathy. ”
The so-called empathy, but both of them are insecure people, but she can't say that, some words will hurt people.
Zhou Jingrui's hand clenched unconsciously, he understood her words, looking at her dark eyes, he squeezed out a wry smile, "Can you tell me what you like about Zhang Xiao? ”
Is it because he has always guarded her, her admiration for an adult? That person's excellence is indeed worthy of Ganluo's admiration, but what does she like about him? That face? Or is it the identity of the grandson of the Zhang family?
"I like the way he looks, I like his temper, I like his care, I like his indulgence with me...... Because it's that person, I like him as a whole person. ”
Gan Luo sat up straight, and looked at the young man in front of him calmly, "Although I don't know why you like me, but you can't help but ask yourself, why do you like me, and when you figure it out, maybe you won't like it." ”
"You are so good, you will definitely meet the most suitable person for you in the future. ”
"Maybe......" Zhou Jingrui couldn't hide the wry smile on his face, it was because he had asked himself countless times in his heart that he felt unwilling......
Zhou Jingrui looked at those black eyes, lowered his eyes to hide the bitterness that could not be concealed, he was also a man, and he could know his thoughts about her from Zhang Xiao's eyes when he looked at Ganluo, others were happy with each other, he was just a passerby passing by on her growth trajectory.
"The road ahead for you and him may not be easy. ”
"I know. She is very calm and confident, "He is not a pond fish, so I have to work hard, at least not to hold him back." ”
"Bless you...... I still have to read books, so I won't send you out. ”
"Hmm. You pay attention to rest. Ganluo got up, his clenched palms were sweating, he asked calmly, and she answered sincerely...... Glancing back at the young man behind him, he was surrounded by sadness and loss.
Apologies are piling up in Ganluo's heart, and it is difficult to have the best of both worlds, "I'm sorry." Three words swirled in my mind.
Zhou Jingrui looked at her departing back, turned the page, lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Ganluo, but his gaze staring at the page did not move a line for a long time.
……
Coming out of Zhou's house, Grandma Zhou's helpless sigh penetrated her ears through the wooden door...... Standing outside the door and looking up at the unobstructed sky, Ganluo stepped on the bluestone road and returned home.
When he returned home and saw the familiar back sitting under the veranda, the sour feeling in Ganluo's heart gradually faded, leaning against the wall, looking at him from a distance, with attachment and kindness in his eyes.
Dada, who was nesting beside Zhang Xiao, noticed something was wrong, wagged his tail and ran towards Ganluo, picked up Dada, and Ganluo sat opposite him, "I just went to Zhou's house to visit Zhou Jingrui. Have you been here for a long time?"
"It hasn't been long since I arrived. How is his condition?" Zhang Xiao rarely saw Ganluo wearing a skirt, and he couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Zhou Jingrui, a patient, and blamed himself for being too late to sort out the files and didn't take a first look, his eyes couldn't help but stick to the ends of Ganluo's curled hair, and he wanted to reach out to help her smooth the small handful of hair.
"That's half there. Ganlo teased Dada, raised his eyes and saw that he had been looking at him, and raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiao had a smile on his lips, "Blue is very suitable for you." ”
"Autumn is suitable for seeing red maples, remember that there is a maple forest in Yanghe, do you want to go there to see. He patted the camera on his side, "I gave you a picture of me last time, but I didn't have yours." ”
There was a bit of childishness in his tone, and Gan Luo wanted to laugh when he heard this, "Then you can shoot more this time as interest." ”
Zhang Xiao smiled when he heard this, and he couldn't see the girl and the photos in the future...... It will be at least a year, at most two years, and it is difficult to contact her often due to the special situation, and then think about the photo of Zhou Jingrui's kid who left a girl, he felt very uncomfortable.
The maple forest occupies dozens of miles, born in a hilly area with low undulations, and her brother took her to it once before, and the scenery is extremely beautiful in late October.
Ganluo took out the key, only to feel that he was only going home to talk to him, and the door hadn't even opened yet, "I'll go change my clothes, and I'll be fine for a while...... I'm not tall, I'm 1.6 meters, don't take a picture of me at 1.2 meters!"
complained about his skills before he went, Zhang Xiao was very immodest, "Naturally, he has been on the level of National Geographic." ”
Ganluo entered the door and turned to lie on the side of the door and looked at him, "The costume is a bit troublesome, you need to wait for a while." ”
She hasn't worn the Hanfu that Grandma Li tailored for her last time, and the layers of clothes and accessories are a little complicated, and she can't wear them on ordinary days, and she hasn't been able to find an opportunity.
"Hmm. Zhang Xiao actually felt that what the girl was wearing was very commensurate with her temperament, but he didn't say it, just hinted that this was a photo that he would always keep, so he was a little curious about what the girl would wear to take pictures.
However, waiting left and right, there was no sound after the person entered, seeing that an hour was about to pass, Zhang Xiao was a little puzzled, are girls changing clothes so slowly?
The hidden door creaked softly, and the door opened.
