Chapter 52: The Strange Way Back
"Gu Fangyan?"
A shout interrupted Gu Fangyan's thoughts, he turned back with doubts, and among the many candidates who rushed towards him, there was a vague familiar figure swaying in the crowd, Gu Fangyan fixed his eyes, I went Isn't this Qin Xiachu?
Qin Xiachu hurriedly ran towards him, and shouted before he could get close: "You are also in this examination area, this is too coincidental, right?"
"It's a bit of a coincidence......" Gu Fangyan grinned, cold sweat floating on his forehead.
"You've been in contact with me since you came back from school, and I don't even know which exam room you're in. She glanced at Gu Fangyan with a slight complaint, and then patted him on the shoulder happily: "How about sharing the table, do you have a plan in mind after the exam?"
Gu Fangyan nodded again and again, "There are counts, there are counts." ”
Then he symbolically replied, "What about you?"
The next moment, Qin Xiachu suddenly smirked, trembling with laughter, and his body swirled lightly in place. Her heroic actions immediately attracted the attention of many people around her, and the policemen guarding both sides of the school gate stared at her nervously, for fear that the child would be so excited that he would unfortunately turn his back on her.
Qin Xiachu spread his long hair as always, his shoulder-length hair was as black as ink, and a light-colored dress looked like a slowly blooming white flower when he walked around. Her backlit figure was bright and transparent, and the light she exuded made Gu Fangyan dare not look directly.
"Cool! I'm finally done with the exam!"
Gu Fangyan was really frightened by her, and when she reacted, her heart moved slightly, although Qin Xiachu was usually happy, he was rarely as happy as he was now, it was the kind of happiness that was very presumptuous and heartless. Sometimes he really envies that feeling, as if the troubles of the whole world are far away from you.
After venting, Qin Xiachu let out a deep breath, "No one can control me now, you can fly your ideals as you like." ”
Gu Fangyan sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, Qin Xiachu had shouted to take him to visit the bar, and now he took the initiative to send it to the door. Sure enough, Qin Xiachu grabbed his clothes, "Let's go, let's go, it's still early, accompany me to the bar to sit down!"
Then she also said: "I know you don't like to be noisy, the atmosphere of that light bar is really good, I really don't lie to you, it is said that I only go there once and countless times." ”
For a moment, Gu Fangyan really wanted to go with her like this, but every time this seemingly one-sided invitation eventually developed into a party of a group of strangers, and he was always the first to leave silently.
In the face of this kind of thing, Gu Fangyan is still a little experienced, rather than running away in the end, it is better to politely refuse at the beginning, which saves both embarrassment and time, which is a good thing for each other.
Gu Fangyan cleared his throat, for some reason, he subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xinuo who was standing there not far away, who had already discovered him, and their eyes subtly touched together. Gu Fangyan was shocked, and quickly moved her eyes, this subtle move obviously did not escape Qin Xiachu's eyes, only to see her blink curiously.
"You know?"
Gu Fangyan nodded stupidly, "I do know ......"
Qin Xia Chu smiled narrowly, "Who is she?"
"My sister, my sister!" he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I've never heard you talk about it before, you still have a sister. Qin Xiachu asked suspiciously.
Gu Fangyan swallowed his saliva, "Table." ”
Qin Xiachu stretched out his finger and poked Gu Fangyan, "Hey, your cousin is watching you, is she looking for you for something?"
"She knew that I was taking the college entrance examination today, so she came to pick me up and go out to play. Gu Fangyan made a movement to operate the steering wheel, "We are traveling by car, don't look at her so young, she is actually very good at driving." ”
"It's so good, I really want to have a sister. Qin Xiachu tilted his head, "Then you can go, have fun with your cousin." ”
Gu Fangyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I'm sorry, I couldn't go to the bar with you." ”
Qin Xiachu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I have a lot of sisters, it's enough to have them." ”
Gu Fangyan thought to himself, I knew it, I knew it! Fortunately, I didn't go, otherwise I would have become cannon fodder again. If those sisters of yours bring their little boyfriends over again, the scene will not be just embarrassing.
Qin Xiachu stared at him quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "What, at the same table, do you think we will meet again in the future?"
The sudden question stunned Gu Fangyan, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know how to speak.
Actually, there will be no goodbye. Gu Fangyan couldn't say this, but he knew better than anyone else that as long as you deliberately want to avoid someone, then even if the earth explodes, it will be difficult to meet each other.
"I'm here, I'm sorry, as long as there's a fate, I'll see you again wherever I am......"
Qin Xiachu seemed to be amused, "Why do you come to this set, it's hard to say if you have a fate or not." ”
Gu Fangyan smiled weakly, his expression stiffened like a carved stone statue. Sometimes he really hates this feeling of powerlessness, when there are a thousand endings waiting for you to choose from, and you can only choose the most boring and worst ending.
"Seriously...... Qin Xiachu's tone was flat and contained a hint of envy, "Your cousin is really beautiful." ”
"Hmm. Gu Fangyan hummed silently.
"Let's go, let's go, it's not early. Qin Xiachu smiled at him and made a phone call gesture with his face. "Remember to keep in touch!"
"Goodbye. Finally she whispered.
Good bye. Gu Fangyan said slowly in his heart.
Qin Xiachu turned around and left, Gu Fangyan saw that her figure melted into a remnant sun, she was not tall, so she looked so petite that it seemed to be about to disappear. He had witnessed Qin Xiachu leave many times, either at the school gate after school or in the library on weekends, many times her back was faint, but she usually didn't care how many times, and the next day she would always smile and say hello and say morning at the same table.
Only this time, she should have really left.
If she had had had a little more courage, even if it was just a little bit, that girl might not have quietly run away.
If I can have a little more courage, I won't even get a chance in the end...... None of them.
…………
Cheng Xinuo drove the car smoothly, Gu Fangyan sat in the co-pilot with a seat belt, staring out the window in a daze, the traffic in the distance was dense, and it was running mechanically and orderly in this city.
The interior of the car is very clean, with few frills or decorations, except for a few small puppeteer ornaments tethered to the rearview mirrors. It can be seen that Cheng Xinuo likes this type of hanging ornament very much, and the style is almost not the same.
The car stereo is playing Zhao Lei's "Ideal", it is hard to imagine that Cheng Xinuo actually likes this kind of sentimental song of the age, and the slightly vicissitudes of life male voice sings this song generously and vividly, and it is quite sad.
The air conditioner in the car was fully turned on, Gu Fangyan shivered slightly, he turned his head to look at Cheng Xinuo, the other party's face was not wavering, and he was skillfully swinging the steering wheel.
I don't know why Cheng Xinuo is so quiet today, maybe she is listening to the song carefully. Gu Fangyan is also very quiet, he usually rarely talks when he gets in the car, even if there is no scenery in front of him, he always looks out the window silently in a daze.
Suddenly, Cheng Xinuo lowered the window of the car, and suddenly the evening breeze of the whole city poured in, and there was a slight coolness in the afternoon wind. Gu Fangyan glanced at Cheng Xinuo with some surprise, she pillowed one arm on the edge of the window, the evening breeze blowing ruffled a strand of her hair, and the shadow of the entire city was reflected in the bright pupils.
"Sister Xinuo, where are we going?"
"Let's go back to your house and clean up the mess. Cheng Xinuo smiled at him, "Get ready, let's go directly to Beicheng tonight, it's going to take a long time on the road." ”
"I didn't expect you to come and pick me up. After a moment of silence, Gu Fangyan suddenly said.
Cheng Xinuo sighed softly, "It's the senior, the senior asked me to come, he knows that you finished the exam today." Then she said: "To be honest, I don't want to come all the way to pick you up, but the senior has been busy with tasks recently and can't move away, otherwise he would have been the one who came to pick you up." ”
Gu Fangyan thought to himself that it didn't matter who came, he just didn't expect that someone would really be waiting for him at the door of the examination room, he had always been used to being considerate of others, and it was the first time he experienced the feeling of being noticed, to be honest...... Strange touched.
"What does it feel like to see the girl you like away?" asked Cheng Xinuo coldly.
Gu Fangyan smiled self-deprecatingly and scratched her head, "Sister Xinuo, don't hurt me, it's just that I'm in unrequited love, and it's quite embarrassing to say it." ”
"Do you feel ashamed yourself?" In the interval of the red light, Cheng Xinuo turned his head to stare into his eyes, "Is it a bit too weak to have a crush that ends without a problem?"
Gu Fangyan was stunned by this sudden questioning, he moved his lips, but he didn't say a word.
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very uncomfortable...... Originally, I didn't think it was a big deal to send Qin Xiachu away before, this kind of youthful pain unique to a second-year teenager is really not interesting to occur in reality, there is no nutrition at all except hypocrisy, he Gu Fangyan is ready to go home and watch dramas all night with a big bucket of soda.
But when he looked at Cheng Xinuo's eyes, there seemed to be a mirror in his dark eyes, and some unknown emotion suddenly rippled violently from his chest, as if he had really lost a very important person. The girl he silently liked for three years went to the farther world, and he only witnessed her for a short time, and then she would go to a better university, there were many tall and handsome seniors rushing to help her carry her luggage, she would practice the guitar with the person she liked, spend a good night together, and the world was full of youth hormones.
"yes, it's decaying. Gu Fangyan said slowly.
Cheng Xinuo snorted softly, and the car continued to drive.
There was some astringency in his heart, Gu Fangyan exhaled a long breath, the evening breeze outside the car window gradually cooled, the thin T-shirt worn by Cheng Xinuo was slightly agitated in the wind, and the strands of hair scattered in front of his temples fluttered with the wind.
"No, what about my vacation?" Gu Fangyan suddenly felt a pang in his heart, if he rushed to Beicheng non-stop tonight, what would he do with his months-long vacation?
Thinking about it like this, Gu Fangyan's heart was even more uncomfortable, and he almost couldn't breathe, his updated drama and the extremely comfortable bed time...... Gone forever?
"Don't worry, rest assured, there will always be holidays. Cheng Xinuo said quietly.
