Chapter 2: I Am Willing (2)

Guo Yang took Zhou Bing's sweaty little hand and walked into the small restaurant on the east side of the newspaper, and his deep gaze swept casually from the beautiful women's calendar placed on the cash register of the store, and the date of August 8, 1999 showed a casual pain in his heart.

He and Zhou Bing were high school classmates, college classmates, and later close lovers. It's just that he has been in love for three years, but he didn't know that Zhou Bing's family background was so superior - the two graduated and returned to the city, when he walked into the Nanshan villa area where the rich were gathered for the first time, and stood in front of the Zhou family's antique mansion that seemed to him to be carved beams and paintings, he was stunned for a long time.

At that moment, his courage and self-confidence and the pride in his bones collapsed, and was replaced by a kind of self-shame and deep anxiety that is difficult to describe in words.

He actually didn't care if Zhou Bing was a child of a rich family, which would not affect his feelings and feelings for Zhou Bing in the slightest. And Zhou Bing didn't mind his family background, but the gap between the backgrounds of the two families was beyond the limit of what he could know, and he immediately realized that a gap like a moat began to lie in front of the two.

And in the past, Zhou Bing did not deliberately hide his family background from him. It's just that in this era of love full of romanticism and has nothing to do with the house, car, and all material conditions or poverty, she doesn't feel that her love has anything to do with her family background. Family background and wealth belong to her parents, not her own, and only love and freedom really belong to her.

That day, Zhou Bing stood on the steps of his villa and beckoned to Guo Yang with a smile, obviously close at hand, but Guo Yang felt that the girl he loved was moving away from him little by little - he saw the stiff gap between the two worlds that seemed to never be able to merge.

Zhou's father is the first generation to seize the policy opportunity to get rich in the reform and opening up, and he has worked hard for more than ten years to create hundreds of millions of family fortunes. The Blue Star Company, owned by the Zhou family, is the largest private enterprise in the city, and it can be ranked even in the entire northern province. If there was a regional wealth ranking concocted in that year, the Zhou family would definitely occupy the top of the list.

Zhou's mother was an associate professor of history at a university, and later became famous. As for her appearance, in fact, Guo Yang's memory is very vague, and she only vaguely remembers that she has a slender figure, elegant temperament, and is very similar to Zhou Bing between her eyebrows and eyes.

The first meeting with Zhou Bing's parents was rather unpleasant.

Although Zhou's mother patiently asked Guo Yang's family history at will, the indifference in her eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, made Guo Yang's whole heart sting.

But if that's all it takes, it won't break up unhappily.

When Zhou's mother learned that Guo Yang came from a low-level single-parent family, and the job unit after graduation had not yet been settled, the politeness on the face that she had barely maintained became gone-she immediately sank away like water, and even the last trace of self-esteem was left for Guo Yang.

What's even worse is that the conversation between the Zhou family and the husband and wife upstairs was clearly passed down-

"Single-parent families?"

"I didn't have a father since I was a child, who knows what the reason for that woman to be single and have a child......"

Zhou's mother's disdainful soft words exploded in his mind like thunder, and Guo Yang's face turned red and he was immediately extremely angry. He will never forget the tragic grief of being humiliated and trampled on, he felt that the whole world was spinning, and the blue-black canopy of the sky was so overwhelming that he almost suffocated and fainted.

The so-called dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry if you touch it. And the mother who worked hard to raise him as an adult is Guo Yang's reverse scale. He can bear all the contempt and contempt from the Zhou family and his wife, but he will never tolerate anyone's blasphemy against his mother. Even if it's Zhou Bing's parents, it's not good!

Guo Yang left angrily, no matter how Zhou Bing cried and cried, he didn't look back. Without hesitation, he cut off all contact with Zhou Bing and broke up with her. Zhou Bing went to the United States to study sadly, and the year passed in a flash.

But Zhou Bing still couldn't let go of this relationship after all. She quietly returned to China without telling her parents, and found Guo Yang today. If the trajectory of life and fate in the previous life is repeated, the reunion of the two is destined to be difficult to escape the fateful nest of tragedy.

In his previous life, Guo ** couldn't get rid of the psychological shadow of a year ago, and the scars that were humiliated in the Zhou family that day could not heal for a long time. Guo Yang reluctantly rejected Zhou Bing's tenderness and sweetness about the reunion, and ran away with his face in the girl's tearful eyes.

Guo Yang's ruthless insistence, or the high inferiority complex of a small person at that time, broke the last trace of defense in Zhou Bing's heart. She returns to the United States in despair, only to be confronted by the deadliest black storm of her fate. When the bad news that Zhou Bing died in a plane crash was transmitted back to China, Guo Yang was in pain and regretted. Since then, he has closed the door of emotion, and he is still alone when he is not confused when he becomes famous, and Zhou Bing has become an eternal pain in his heart and a threshold that can never be crossed.

It was also in this year that Guo Yang also lost the most important woman in his life, his mother Xie Yuzhi, a Chinese teacher at the city's No. 2 Middle School.

Looking at Zhou Bing, who was a little sad in front of him, and the pop songs of the most popular actress playing in the restaurant on a loop in his ears, Guo Yang had mixed feelings and couldn't help himself.

Missing is a very mysterious thing, and it follows you like a shadow

Silent and breathless, haunting the bottom of my heart

In the blink of an eye, engulf me in the silence

I couldn't resist, especially at night

I miss you to the point where I can't breathe

I can't go straight to you

Tell you out loud

Willing for you, I'm willing for you

I'm willing to forget my name for you

Willing to do anything, willing to do anything

……

Guo Yang's eyes flickered with a tremor from the depths of his soul. It seemed to sense his indescribable agitation and pain, and it seemed that it was an emotion that could never be parted with him to communicate the life and death of the past and present lives through time and space, Zhou Bing stretched out his hand to hold Guo Yang's hand tightly, and couldn't help choking.

"Yangyang, without you, I would have died. ”

Guo Yang did not answer. He held Zhou Bing's trembling hand, still using the familiar and intimate small movements exclusive to the two, gently brushing each other's delicate palms with his nails, at this time, silence is better than sound, the two sat face to face, and the two alienated hearts were getting closer little by little, until they became one.

No matter how the restaurant proprietress and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old waitress stared at each other in surprise, and no matter how the other diners turned their heads to look at each other and laughed and watched, Guo Yang and Zhou Bing hugged each other tightly and couldn't breathe.

The day was still too hot, the ceiling fan on the roof of the restaurant squeaked and turned like an old cow pulling a broken car, the two of them were covered in sweat, the smell of oriental sweat of the little reporter and the smell of American perfume were mixed together, and a little bit of the smell of oil smoke in the restaurant was added, it was really a unique experience in life.

Ahem!

It wasn't until the proprietress who was familiar with Guo Yangji and still had the charm of more than thirty people interrupted the intimacy between the two as if no one was next to her in half-native Mandarin, that Zhou Bing suddenly blushed and pushed Guo Yang away, moved away, sat on the chair and hung her head and didn't dare to face the ambiguous gossip eyes of the proprietress to the end.

"I said Xiao Guo, are you still eating? If you want to fall in love, you should go to the grove in the park opposite, how much should you pay attention to the influence in my sister's restaurant, right?"

Guo Yang settled down, and smiled: "Eat, why don't you eat?!Boss, it's still the four dishes I like, go, hurry up! We're still in a hurry!"

The proprietress laughed heartily, and her sweaty chest fluctuated: "Look at your monkey anxious bear-like! Yes, my sister will serve you food! Hurry up and get out of the house after eating, don't delay my sister's business." ”
