Chapter 3: Xi Xi Nian

The night is sultry and the stars are shining.

Gu Niancheng paced back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the bright lights and busy traffic in the distance, and his heart was filled with emptiness.

He just glanced at Xia Xiran and Cheng Siqi's intimacy from a distance today, and his mentality was about to explode, so he didn't dare to think about the scene when he went to Xia Xiran's wedding in the future.

"Hoo ......"

Gu Niancheng had a lot of fine sweat oozing on his forehead, his cheeks were crimson, he really couldn't stay any longer, so he strode out.

"Eh, Niancheng, let's go!"

As soon as Zhao Pingxuan passed by the president's office, he saw Gu Niancheng rushing forward.

"Ah! Yes, Qingyun came back from abroad today!" Zhao Pingxuan seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

Gu Niancheng drove a sports car on the wide road, and the good memories of being with Xia Xiran over the years were replaying in his mind like a marquee.

The love of growing up together, the friendship of watching and helping each other, are no match for that moment of heartbeat.

When Xia Xiran and Cheng Siqi broke up in the second semester of his freshman year, the scene of Xia Xiran crying in Gu Niancheng's arms with pear blossoms and rain is still engraved in his heart.

She kept saying that she was not going to see him in this life, and then turned around and went to his city to look for him.

From then on, Gu Niancheng knew in his heart that he and she were going to drift apart after all.

There is no room for a third person in love, and he can only be a wait-and-see person who pretends to be blessed.

The fiery sports car lay quietly in the underground garage, and Gu Niancheng lay on the steering wheel and pretended to sleep. He always felt as if he had forgotten something important, but the more he tried to think about it, the more he couldn't remember.

"Okay, you!I'd rather be lazy here than pick me up at the airport!"

Gu Qingyun patted Gu Niancheng's shoulder, so frightened that he immediately sat up straight.

"yes! I remember, you're back today!"

Gu Niancheng rubbed his temples, his eyes wandered around, embarrassed to look directly at Gu Qingyun.

"Hmph, you're still my brother, you don't care about me at all!"

As soon as Gu Qingyun saw his brother's sports car from the balcony, he thought about beating him up later.

"Brother is too busy these days, so let's do it, what do you want, my brother will accompany you to buy it!"

Gu Niancheng got out of the car, wrapped his arms around his sister, and walked home. This villa is where the siblings grew up, full of fond memories, and every time he gets upset, he can't help but come back here.

"Bags, cosmetics or whatever, I don't need my brother to buy them. If you have the heart to compensate me, you have to get something that you have made with your heart!"

Gu Qingyun held Gu Niancheng's arm, his head tilted, and the corners of his mouth grinned in a good-looking arc.

"I want to see my brother's most precious photo album! There must be a lot of interesting photos in it, you won't be reluctant!"

Gu Niancheng looked at his sister's playful and cute appearance, and he was really reluctant to object, so he could only nod again and again, and let this little guy go to his room to make a scene.

"Xi Xi Niannian! Hey! This is Sister Xi Ran!"

When Gu Qingyun sat on the bed and looked through the photo album, she pointed to a girl wearing a red beret and a yellow coat in the photo and asked.

Gu Niancheng was cleaning up the messy room! Hearing what his sister said, he immediately stepped forward to check. The photo is indeed written by him, when he was just in junior high school, and his handwriting was very correct.

"This girl is Xia Xixi, not Xia Xiran!"

Gu Niancheng looked carefully at the villain in the photo and said categorically. Gu Qingyun smiled evilly, only feeling that his brother had a hard mouth, and he wanted to save face.

"Okay, okay! Whoever you say is who you are!"

Gu Qingyun jumped off the bed, straightened her little skirt, and prepared to go downstairs to see if the meal was ready. She looked sideways, only to see Gu Niancheng looking at the photo in a daze, and suddenly remembered something in her heart.

"Yes! Sister Hee-hee passed away many years ago! Could it be that my brother really likes her? Oh my God!"

Gu Qingyun couldn't bear to look back, she thought about it, and her heart was astringent. Gu Qingyun stepped out of his brother's room with his front foot, and Gu Niancheng tore up the photo with his back foot.

It was just that he took it when he recognized the wrong thing when he didn't do anything, and for this reason, Xia's mother misunderstood it for many years. At Xia Xixi's funeral, Xia's mother was still holding his hand tightly and repeating things like "That child is not blessed".

Gu Niancheng had a headache just thinking about this, "For so many years, I'm afraid Xixi has always thought that what I like is her sister!" Gu Niancheng smiled bitterly, and a faint sadness crossed his face.

The moonlight outside the window was just right, the stars were shining, Gu Niancheng pursed his lips and closed the photo album. He looked at the sparse photo in the trash can, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Xia Xiran's little head was buzzing, lying on the bed like a salted fish. It was an ordinary day, but she felt like she was on a roller coaster, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Hey, it's him at noon! I'm short-sighted, but I'm not blind!" Xia Xiran muttered quietly, her roommates were busy with their own things, and no one noticed her. "Forget it, forget it! Don't talk about it! Talking too much will affect feelings!"

Xia Xiran hugged the doll that Cheng Siqi bought for her, closed the bed curtain and went to find Zhou Gong.

……

In order to celebrate Gu Qingyun's homecoming, the Gu family specially held an afternoon tea and invited Suo Wen, Xia Xiran and others to play.

Xia's mother never wanted Xia Xiran and Gu Niancheng to get too close, so she didn't inform Xia Xiran about this event, but just found a reason to prevaricate them.

Because in Xia's mother's heart, she always stubbornly believes that Xia Xiran's existence killed Xia Xixi. If she had a choice, she would rather lose Xia Xiran than the well-behaved and sensible Xia Xixi.

Gu Niancheng stood in the corner of the lawn, watching everyone talk and laugh around Gu Qingyun, but she secretly looked at Suowen, and suddenly understood seven or eight points in her heart. Xia Xiran is not here today, and Gu Niancheng also has the heart to match the two of them.

"What are you drinking here! Pour it down, be careful that your uncle and aunt will suspect you!"

Gu Niancheng quipped.

Sowen didn't care, he knew what his parents had brought him here for today. He couldn't object, but he couldn't fully accept it.

"It's okay! They wish I could find a girlfriend!"

Sowen put down the goblet, ran his thumb over the wine stains at the corner of his mouth, and lay lazily on the chair.

"Thinking about Hee-hee?"

Gu Niancheng asked coldly, although there were some things that he had never said explicitly, he couldn't hide them.

"No, I didn't miss her! I was just thinking about a reason to ask her out. ”

Sowen propped his head in one hand and remained motionless, as if he had exhausted all his strength to say this.

Gu Niancheng listened, his heart was sour, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he didn't confess to Xia Xiran.

"Once the window paper is pierced, no matter how much it is repaired, the crack will not go away. ”
