The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly began to vibrate, Wen Yanzhi picked it up helplessly, listened to what the other party said for a while, glanced at Gu Yanran, and replied "um".

He hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.

It can be seen that Wen Yanzhi's face is not very good.

"Do you have a problem?" Gu Yanran put the lantern on the ground, opened the brocade box, and took out the river lantern inside.

"Well, there's something going on at home. He saw her pause.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. She held the lantern in her hand as if nothing was wrong, and smiled at him again.

Actually, she was still a little disappointed in her heart, she tried her best to hide it, not wanting him to see the clues.

Wen Yanzhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he promised to go first, and now he broke his promise, but his father asked him to go back, and he had to go back.

She took off his scarf and folded it twice, "The scarf is back for you, it's too hot to wear, I can't get used to wearing it, you can take it back, thank you." ”

She slipped the scarf into his arms, then turned around and crouched down to place the lantern on the ground.

It was clearly a very ordinary sentence, but it made Wen Yanzhi hear the unhappiness in her tone at this moment.

Is this a little tantrum for him?

Wen Yanzhi couldn't help laughing, afraid that she would hear it, so she coughed lightly again and covered it up a little.

"I'll take this lamp away first, and I'll accompany you to put it on the Lantern Festival next year, is it okay, I'm really sorry today." He took the brocade box and motioned to take it with him.

"It's okay, you have something to do. She turned to look at him and motioned with her hand for him to leave.

He nodded apologetically, turned and walked away quickly.

When his figure disappeared into the vast crowd, she turned around and picked up the river lamp at her feet.

A tear slipped down and hit the wick.

Next year, it's next year......

That time, you also said that you would accompany me next year, how many next years are there for people, and in her previous life, she didn't wait for the second year he said after all......

She wiped her tears with her hand, fumbled in her pocket for a while, took out a lighter, blocked the wind with her left hand, and lit the wick in the middle of the river lamp.

Gu Yanran couldn't help but muttered in his heart: Hmph, there is no time to put a lamp, and it doesn't take much effort.

But after thinking about it, she is not who he is, how much weight can she have in his heart, besides, he has something to do, and he is a little unreasonable.

She sniffed at the sour nose and told herself not to think about him again.

She looked up and saw that there were several people putting river lanterns at the banks in front of her, and there were already sporadic candles flashing on the river.

Wen Yanzhi on the other side drove home half an hour later.

When the figure at the door saw his car driving into the yard, he hurried over and opened the door for him.

"Sir, you are back. The butler stood by the car door and looked at Wen Yanzhi.

"What's going on at home?" On the phone, he only said that there was an urgent matter and asked him to go home quickly, and he didn't say anything else.

"Uh...... This one. "It's really hard for him to say anything, just go in and see.

Wen Yanzhi glanced at the housekeeper lightly, didn't say anything, walked towards the door, and the maid of the house stood at the door waiting for him and took his coat off.

The sound of several men talking could be heard in the hall, and from time to time there were female voices.

Not in a voice he was familiar with, he frowned in displeasure and walked in anyway.

The person inside saw the voice coming from the hallway, looked up at him, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Coming, why is it so late." ”

"There's a lot of work to do. ”

Wen Yan saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the sofa who looked like him, and glanced at a few people next to him.

Father Wen turned his head to look at the few people next to him, and said to him with a smile, "Come here, this is Uncle Gu that I told you about, and this is his daughter." ”

"Uncle Gu, Miss Gu. He walked over to say hello and didn't sit down.

Because of Gu Yanran, he was a little sensitive to the surname Gu, and the person in front of him could not be Gu Yanran's father he had seen before, and he felt that there was no need for other deep friendships, but they were all inconsequential people, and he didn't think much about other things.

This Mr. Gu's daughter has come over, and she doesn't have to think about it to know what's going on, Wen Yan frowned invisibly, unhappy in her heart, but didn't show it.

"Your Uncle Gu's family just came back from abroad, and they came over not long after they came home, you and Xinran haven't seen each other for more than ten years, you used to be classmates. Father Wen looked at Gu Xinran, who was sitting on the side, dignified and gentle, and was very satisfied.

"Gu Xinran?" He thought of Gu Yanran, and when he heard the name, it seemed that they should have something to do with Gu Yanran, but he didn't ask.

Without waiting for Gu Xinran to say anything, he replied, "I don't remember." ”

Gu Xinran originally heard Wen Yanzhi call her name, and her heart jumped, but he didn't remember a word, which made her face a little unbearable.

She and Wen Yanzhi were elementary school classmates, and Wen Yanzhi was very popular with girls at that time.

Now that more than ten years have passed, the years have carved him more calmly, his facial features are more refined, and he stands there, the feeling of cold arrogance and loneliness makes her heart beat faster.

And Wen Yanzhi looked at the scene in front of him, and when he thought of Gu Yanran, who had just been left behind by him, he felt irritable in his heart.

Calling him in a hurry and not saying anything is this?

He looked at his father, he really knew himself, and if he had told him the truth, he would not have come anyway.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, let's go first, you guys talk slowly, and you're out of company. ”

He didn't like the feeling of being dominated at will, even if that person was his father.

He turned away.

"There are no rules at all. Seeing Wen Yanzhi hurriedly walked out, Father Wen was displeased, but there were outsiders, he restrained his temper and just snorted coldly.

"It's normal for young people to be busy. Gu Shaodong said with a smile, he couldn't see where Wen Yanzhi came over was not his intention, and when he saw him leaving, to be honest, he was also a little uncomfortable.

"They have their own ideas, and we don't understand them at this age, so we can definitely talk to each other about it. Father Wen glanced at Gu Xinran, "I'll let Xiao Wen go out with you when the time comes, it's changed quite a lot here, and I just came back, so I'm definitely not familiar with it." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Wen in advance. Gu Xinran smiled, thinking of Wen Yanzhi, his heart was even happier.

Wen Yan got on the car and drove the car in the direction of the south of the city, which was full of vehicles coming and going, and there were traffic jams from time to time along the way.

He was a little irritable, in the middle of the traffic jam, he took out his mobile phone, opened the chat history with Nie Yu'an, flipped up, there was a mobile phone number, it was Gu Yanran, and he clicked the dial button.

After calling several times but no one answered, he reluctantly hung up the phone and threw it aside.

He was a little strange, obviously he and Gu Yanran had only known each other for two days, but now he actually cared a little about her, knowing that the woman would sometimes treat him as another person, but he didn't alienate her because of this, this is not like him usually.

He didn't treat other women like he had just treated Gu Xinran, although he didn't avoid them, he didn't want to have too many intersections.

The car in front of him moved slowly in a line, and when he drove the car to the south of the city, he found that there were more people on the street than just now, and he returned to the mouth of the river bank just now, where was Gu Yanran's figure.

He looked in both directions, walked down the street, and didn't notice her at all.

Wen Yanzhi didn't know what she was looking forward to, knowing that after so long, she would definitely be gone, and she ran over, even if she saw it, what to tell her.

He walked back to where he had parked, sat in the car, opened the window, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and did not move again.

And Gu Yanran has been squatting at the mouth of the river bank and fiddling with her river lamp after he left, and the wind outside is a little strong, and it took a long time to light the wick.

She didn't put the lantern down immediately, but just watched the candle flame flicker and dance in the wind.

After the candle flame burned the candle by nearly a third, Gu Yanran picked up the river lantern and put it into the water, and as soon as he put it down, the river lantern floated away with the wind and water waves.

She closed her eyes, folded her hands, and said silently in her heart:

Here Chen has three wishes: one wishes that Langjun is a thousand years old, two wishes that the concubine is always healthy, and three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, and they will see each other every year.

With you, we often see each other every year......

Once upon a time, she may have made such a wish, but God made her blind to death, and separated from his life and death.

She believes in Buddhism, but she does not believe in Buddhism.

She opened her eyes and looked at the lanterns on both sides of the street, reflected on the surface of the river, and her river lantern went farther and farther away, merging with the waves.

She watched, lost focus, and all the scenes faded into obscurity, leaving only a little light......
