Chapter XVIII: Faith
It is rumored that Liang Zhu's love is beautiful and miserable, and he has also heard the story of Romeo and Juliet, and even seen Jack and Ruth in the Tankenic, but they are not as good as Gu Changsheng and Li Yun.
Less than ......
"Therefore, your faith is not this town, nor is it a 'lost tavern', but the good memories of you and Sister Li Yun, which entrusts everything you once had. Li Xiaoxiao's faint voice broke the dormant silence in the tavern.
Gu Changsheng didn't answer Li Xiaoxiao immediately, but walked to the bar, took a bottle of wine that I hadn't seen before, and sat down again with two wine glasses.
He didn't ask me, he just poured me a glass, and then poured himself a glass.
The two cups touched each other and drank it in one gulp, the taste was refreshing and spicy, and I immediately took a bite of the dish to relieve the taste of wine, but Gu Changsheng beside me was nothing.
"Xiaoxiao, not only do you look very similar to her, but you also have such a similar personality, you are as smart and empathetic as her. He looked at Li Xiaoxiao silently, and he was a little fascinated, as if he was not looking at Li Xiaoxiao, but Li Yun.
Being watched so unscrupulously, especially when I was by my side as a boyfriend, Li Xiaoxiao didn't feel anything wrong, on the contrary, she also looked at Gu Changsheng, but she couldn't see any emotion.
At this moment, I seemed to be an outsider.
"But I'm ...... after all Not her. Li Xiaoxiao's hazy eyes revealed a trace of pain and a little helplessness.
"yes! You're not...... She, she is unique, you are also incomparable, everyone will have their own life, and I hope your life will not be as ill-fated as her?" Gu Changsheng's meaningful and affectionate gaze made Li Xiaoxiao fall into deep thought, and then his gaze fell on me, "Is that right?"
The focus suddenly shifted to me, a little overwhelmed. I looked at Li Xiaoxiao in a daze, maybe she didn't realize it herself, she was distracted, and even confused. Perhaps it was the touching stories of Gu Changsheng and Li Yun that made her unable to extricate herself. may be too similar to Li Yun, which makes her feel a sense of substitution, which makes her unable to let go. Or maybe she heard Gu Changsheng's soul warning, which gave her a new concept of feelings and even life.
And I, at this time, must not hesitate, a little hesitation will affect the future development of me and Li Xiaoxiao.
"Don't worry, Brother Gu, you don't have to doubt this, although fate is sometimes difficult to change, but with me, Xiaoxiao will be the happiest girl in the world, and I will let her feel all the beauty in the world. The future is unpredictable, unless Xiaoxiao no longer loves me one day, I will respect her choice and choose to give up, otherwise I will never abandon her. ”
"Even if she doesn't love me, my kindness to her, her love, will not change. ”
Saying so much is not a guarantee to Gu Changsheng, let alone a show of how much love she has for Li Xiaoxiao, but that a girl like Li Xiaoxiao is so innocent, she should not suffer from the suffering of the world, this world is very beautiful, she deserves it.
“…… Worth...... She said very slowly, so slowly that it was intermittent, and it was even more emotional, even a little unbearable.
"Because it's you, it's worth it. I said solemnly.
"You ......" She was a little sluggish, overwhelmed, and her hands were restless and had nowhere to put them.
What I say is not so touching and heartfelt, nor is it a so-called sultry love story, but what I say is so sincere that it will make people feel grounded.
It was expected that she would be shy, or happy, or even emotional, but she did not show any emotion as before, and even a little hesitant.
For a moment I couldn't understand it, and I was probably too shocked by my sudden answer.
That's how it should be......
And Gu Changsheng couldn't help but look at me more, maybe he didn't expect it, he asked casually, and what he got back was my most sincere answer.
"After listening to your words, you are more sure of the feeling of meeting for the first time?" he suddenly laughed.
"How did you feel about me when we first met?" I said, smiling.
"Good guy!" he blurted out.
"And now?" I asked again.
"A better man!" he laughed again.
"I thought you could say something complimentary. It turns out that it is also a word poor!"
"Then you don't realize that sometimes simple words can be more touching. ”
After a short contemplation, he said, "You're right!"
The wine glasses collided again, and the people who drank the wine did not change, but the wine changed its taste, became more flavorful, and more addictive.
With Gu Changsheng and Brother Gu, you and I drank to my heart's content, like a friend who had not seen him for many years, and seemed to have forgotten Li Xiaoxiao's existence.
"Hmph, you two, do you want to be so rampant, do you want a big beauty to watch you two drink until you grow old?" Li Xiaoxiao looked at the two of us jokingly, at this moment she was no longer confused and uneasy just now, but a little lost, and even unhappy.
"You can join us too!" I laughed.
"Cut, I'm not drinking with you two rough guys, it's not elegant at all. Li Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry.
"Then you mean that you usually drink with delicate little fresh meat! I didn't expect it, Xiaoxiao, I don't know my heart if I know people and faces! Brother Gu is sad!" After that, he pretended to be sad.
"You ......" Li Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, her face was slightly red, but she still tried her best to calm down her emotions, and said lightly, "I'm a lady, have you ever seen a lady drinking?"
"No, I just remember that in Zhang Yanna's house, there is a Daming Lake?" I said with a wicked smile.
"I'm here for ...... Who?" Anyway, she ignored me, looking at the faintly bright night scene outside the window with an indescribable sadness.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was really angry, Gu Changsheng and I tacitly glanced at each other, and we were no longer bored.
"Xiaoxiao!"
"Xiaoxiao!
Two soft calls, but she still didn't pay attention to me. Since I came into contact with her, I have a vague sense that she may have a dual personality.
One has a peaceful temperament, gentle and optimistic, reserved, but innocent. It gives a very comfortable feeling.
The other is fickle, suffering from gains and losses, straightforward, but complex. It's hard to figure out.
The two extremes of character have created the current panic.
“…… I was wrong!"
Finally, with my sincere apologies, she looked at me, and at this time she could no longer see her anger, but smiled, but this smile was poignant.
"You're right, what's wrong with you, it's me who is wrong, it's wrong that I shouldn't be so cooperative with you in front of your friends, I shouldn't be soft-hearted and forgive your past, and I shouldn't love ...... You, so, it's all my fault, it's my own doing. ”
"I'm sorry...... I was wrong, I didn't care about your feelings......"
I looked at her in frustration, she was right, and I was speechless.
At the moment, there is only guilt......
She looked at me for a long time, her eyes were slightly cold, and I was afraid of her eyes, which told me that I would lose her......
"What about you...... Tell me, what's wrong with you?" she slowly turned around, leaving me with only a back.
"I was wrong about everything, ...... was wrong," I hurriedly explained, trying to list them one by one, only to find that she had turned around and looked at me with a smile.
"Stupid, me too...... Just kidding!" she put her hands on her shoulder, looking very proud.
"You ......"
Sure enough, Li Xiaoxiao is a person with a changeable personality, but it should be more due to personality.
"Okay, I can't stand you two, what's that...... Let's score the occasion too!" Brother Gu said speechlessly.
At this time, I noticed that Brother Gu had been silently watching everything that was happening by his side.
Looking at his somewhat melancholy expression, I thought that he had just uncovered the "scar", and Li Xiaoxiao and I were flirting in front of him, which undoubtedly irritated him even more.
Especially Li Xiaoxiao and Li Yun are too similar......
Li Xiaoxiao also realized it and became silent.
"Wang Quan, you big brother Gu...... I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree...... I ask for this. Gu Changsheng looked at me for a long time and said it intermittently.
"Say it, Brother Gu, they are all friends, I will try my best to help anyone I can, you're welcome. "I'm curious, in my current situation, it's good not to ask him for help.
"That'...... I've got it!" He was a little embarrassed.
The more he was like this, the more curious I became, and although I had only met him twice, he felt very mature and steady about me, and he wouldn't be so squirming.
"I want to ...... Treat Xiaoxiao as my sister!"
At this moment, the wine glass full of wine in my hand suddenly stayed in the air, I slowly put it down, looked at Gu Changsheng's expectant eyes, and said with a smile, "Have you drunk too much, Brother Gu, hasn't Xiaoxiao kept calling you Brother Gu, isn't she already your sister?"
"You know, Wang Quan, I didn't mean that, but to treat her like a sister, and to take care of her all her life!" he said heavily.
To be honest, I understood what he meant when he first spoke, but I still pretended not to know. After all, Li Yun is too much like Li Xiaoxiao. I could see from his eyes that he had a strange feeling for Li Xiaoxiao.
I don't know if he wants to use his debt to Li Yun on Li Xiaoxiao, or if he wants to use Li Xiaoxiao as a substitute for Li Yun. In short, it is very unfair to Li Xiaoxiao, and it is also unfair to me.
On the other hand, compared with Gu Changsheng, there is a difference between me, especially Gu Changsheng's feelings are rich, and Li Xiaoxiao is a blank slate.
I was afraid that because of Gu Changsheng's existence, I lost Li Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, I became unusually silent.
Because of my silence, Gu Changsheng also fell into deep thought.
"Ahem......" A slight coughing sound came from Li Xiaoxiao.
"I ...... Born in a family of only children, I have always fantasized about how nice it would be to have an older sister or brother since I was a child, so that I would not be so lonely, and I would have someone to talk to and solve my worries and solve my problems. But I'm alone after all!Alas!" Li Xiaoxiao looked at me who was silent, as if she was talking to me, and as if talking to herself. Then he set his eyes on Gu Changsheng, "But fortunately, I met a person today, he is very stable, has a story, and has a special feeling for me, I think, he is the person I look forward to!
Right? Big brother?
These four words made Gu Changsheng feel like a dream and made me dumbfounded.
"Xiaoxiao......? Is it okay?" Gu Changsheng muttered distractedly.
"Of course, from now on, you will be my eldest brother, and I will be your sister, we are the closest brother and sister!"
The closest brother and sister...... Li Xiaoxiao is a smart girl, she cares about me very much, and deliberately talks about her brother and sister very seriously.
It seems that everything is my little belly.
"Okay!" Gu Changsheng said excitedly.
"I can...... Will you hug you?Xiaoxiao?" Gu Changsheng stared at Li Xiaoxiao, and then fell on me.
"Of course you can!" After saying that, he walked directly to Gu Changsheng and gave him a big hug.
Gu Changsheng gently hugged Li Xiaoxiao, and in the haze, he found that his eyes were gradually moistening.
I would smile and I knew it was tears of relief.
――――
Before leaving, Gu Changsheng specially told me that he recognized Li Xiaoxiao as his sister, but he simply treated her as a sister, and had no other meaning, let me put a hundred hearts.
I know that he is an affectionate person, and his relationship with Li Yun is so vigorous, he will not easily fall in love with other women. Even if that woman resembles Li Yun from beginning to end.
Because, he understands, she is not "her" after all.
On the way back, it was already deep, and even though the town was old and beautiful, it was still too cold.
"The eldest brother's faith is for Sister Li Yun and he stayed in this town. And what is your faith?" asked me.
"Faith, these two words themselves are too dreamy, too idealistic, or it is the desire to live. If I have to answer, then my faith is to marry you, marry you, and have children, is that faith?" I said.
Even though it was deep and dark, I could spot her rosy cheeks.
"Such a serious, serious and philosophical topic, can you be so frivolous by what you say!" She was angry, and it seemed that my answer had made her too shy.
"I'm serious!" I replied very seriously.
"Humph!" she ignored me, quickened her pace, and threw me away.
"Hey, you haven't told me about your beliefs?" I shouted anxiously, looking at the figure in front of me.
"Guess for yourself!"
