"Is it so fast?" Zi Xi panicked and blurted out.

Then I found that my emotions were a little too much, "After graduation, don't you have to wait for a while?"

Shen Xiao said: "The family arranged a job that an uncle helped find over there, and I want to try it first." ”

"Hmm......" Zi Xi responded, feeling empty in his heart.

The two didn't speak for a while, and the office fell silent.

Shen Xiao looked at Zixi, she looked very different from what she remembered today.

In her memory, she likes to wear white cartoon T-shirts, jeans, her hair tied into a ponytail, and she carries a black bag.

And Zi Xi in front of him, wearing a black professional suit, his hair tied low, wearing light makeup, sitting in the chairman's position, looking young and old.

Obviously, she is only a sophomore in college, two years younger than him, but at the moment, she feels much more mature than him.

This maturity will bring depression to people, making him feel as if his heart is pressed by a stone, sullen, and breathless.

He still likes the youthful Gu Zixi.

"Do you have time in the evening? I'll treat you to a meal and say goodbye. ”

Zi Xi subconsciously asked: "This time, will you not come back for a long time?"

Shen Xiao opened his mouth, but it wasn't. He's just going to try it, maybe it's not good, and he'll come back.

But his eyes touched the faint expectation in Zixi's eyes, he swallowed back the words and replied: "Well, if it goes well, my parents want me to stay there and develop." ”

Zi Xi was disappointed in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Is it? Actually, it's quite good over there, and there is a better way out than Hancheng." ”

At this moment, she finally realized what it was, and her mouth couldn't help it.

I remember when I was a freshman, Shen Yao asked her with a smile, "It's a pity, you have made up your mind to run behind my brother's ass for the rest of your life?"

At that time, Gu Zixi smiled and said, "Yes, what's wrong?

"Then my brother graduated and went to another city, and you are still studying, what will you do at that time?"

Zixi replied without thinking about it: "Then I will transfer schools, and I will go to school in whichever city he goes to work." ”

"Hey, hey, I'm so ashamed. ”

"My fair gentleman, the little girl is so good. In this life, I will definitely catch up with Shen Xiao. ”

The words of the past are vivid.

But the reality seems to be isolated at both ends of the world, so close, but so far away......

"...... at night," Zixi bit her lip, "I may not be available." ”

Shen Xiao's gaze dimmed, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Is it because of him?"

"Huh?" Zi Xi didn't understand.

Shen Xiao raised his eyes to look at her, and a pair of eyes looked straight into her eyes, "Is it because of Zhan Tingyu? Is everything you said that night because of him?"

Zixi: "......"

It's really because of Zhan Tingyu, if it weren't for him, Zi Xi, who had been waiting for three years, would have been crazy with joy when he came to the confession of someone he liked!

But that night, she pushed Shen Xiao away.

In a real sense, it can't be said that it was entirely because of Zhan Tingyu, because after all, it was the Gu family who had an accident first, and only then did Zhan Tingyu intervene.

Although she still can't understand why Zhan Tingyu wants to intervene in this way.

Without waiting for her answer, Shen Xiao's eyes were a little more gloomy, "I know." ”

He stood up, "Excuse me, I think it's time for me to go." ”

Zixi sat at her desk, frowning, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say. I could only hold the armrests of the chair tightly, restraining myself from being impulsive and doing anything stupid.

Shen Xiao left without looking back.

It's really the kind that doesn't look back, the office door opens and closes, Zixi stares at the door in a daze, but it is in a trance one after another.

This time, they really parted ways.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?" When the assistant reminded Zi Xi for the third time, in the conference room, everyone's eyes were looking this way.

Zi Xi was distracted.

In a brief meeting, she wandered three times.

By the time the meeting was over, she looked like a warrior who had just returned from a battle on the battlefield, scarred and physically and mentally exhausted.

Her mind was empty, thinking about the old days. And most of her happy times, except for her grandfather, are bound to Shen Yao and Shen Xiao.

The more I reminisce about the past, the more my heart aches.

Gu Song's funeral was held three days later.

Even though there is already a three-day buffer time, this is still a very lethal blow for Zixi.

She got up early, stayed in the mourning hall, knelt in front of her grandfather's monument, and silently burned paper.

Gu Ruo was also there, so he knelt beside her, sobbing silently, and his tears did not stop for a moment.

Compared to Gu Ruo's tears, Zixi didn't cry much.

It's not that she can't cry, her grandfather died, and no one is more heartbroken than her, she just hopes that her grandfather can go with peace of mind.

When she was a child, every time she was bullied by her classmates, she would cry outside and then go home.

At that time, no matter how angry her grandfather was, she would not shed another tear.

Because she knew that if she cried, it would make her grandfather even more worried.

If she gritted her teeth and survived, and went to school the next day with great interest, Grandpa would slowly forget about those unpleasant things.

Grandpa is not in good health, and this time he is already a stranger to Huangquan.

She wants to tell her grandfather that she has grown up and knows how to protect herself, don't worry about her anymore, she will take good care of herself.

Gu Anran is Gu Song's only son, so he naturally has to handle everything.

Because of the fall of the Gu family, there are not many people who come to mourn, and the mourning hall is located in the side hall of the Gu family, a cold and deserted space, and only a few people come and go.

Gu Anran greeted the visitor, accepted the comfort of the visitor, and wiped his eyes twice when necessary.

Gu Ruo cried until she fainted, and was carried back to her room to rest.

In front of the spiritual seat, only Zixi kept kneeling and burning paper there.

In the evening, no one was coming, Gu Anran waited at the door for a while, wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked to the spirit table.

first put three sticks of incense on Gu Song, then walked to Zi Xi and knelt down, took two pieces of paper, and put them in the brazier.

The tongue of fire licked the coin and burned it in an instant, and the light of the fire illuminated Zixi's haggard and pale face.

Gu Anran sighed, "It's a pity, go and rest for a while, you've been kneeling for a day." ”

"No need, I want to spend more time with Grandpa. Zi Xi is still burning the paper one by one.

Gu Anran also accompanied him, burning the paper one by one.

After a while, he said again, "Are you okay with Mr. Zhan?"

"Hmm. Zi Xi replied and didn't say much else.

Gu Anran turned her head to look at her side face, and under the shadow of the fire, her facial features were eight or nine points similar to Mu Ziyan. Even the lukewarm expression is very similar.

and let him see it, and his heart was disgusted.

Gu Anran threw all the pile of paper money into the brazier, "Who bought Gu's company, you should know it, right?"

"......" This time, Zi Xi was silent.

Gu Anran waited for a while, and then said, "It's Zhan Tingyu, right?"

“……”

"If you don't say it, I also know that in Cold City, besides him, who else dares to steal business from others? Who else is willing to help you?"

He had already found a family to take over the Gu family's mess, and he could still make a fortune by selling it at a low price.

But later, he was intervened by Zhan Tingyu and made him fly eggs.

He went to ask the businessman he had negotiated before, and extracted the general reason from his mouth, and estimated that it had something to do with Zhan Tingyu.

"Zi Xi, do you think you can hide it?"

"......" Zixi still didn't speak.

Her lukewarm attitude made Gu Anran feel despised, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, "Gu Zixi, did you hear what I'm talking about?"

"I hear you. Zi Xi replied flatly, and the action of burning paper did not stop, "I can tell you clearly that it was indeed Mr. Zhan who came forward to buy Gu's and then made me the chairman, so what can you do?"

In Cold City, no one can hold Zhan Tingyu.

Zi Xi didn't know what her psychology was, but when she saw Gu Anran like this, she would feel a lot happier.

Perhaps, this is the psychology of revenge!

Gu Anran was really angry, he stood up and looked at Zi Xi condescendingly, "Gu Zi Xi, is this how you treat the Gu family to your grandfather's nurturing grace? Do you know what kind of grudge there is between the Gu family and Zhan Tingyu?"

Grudge?

Zi Xi finally raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on his face coldly, "What grudge?"

"It's ......"

"Mr. Zhan is here!" suddenly came from a shout at the door, cutting off Gu Anran's unspoken words in time.

Mr. Zhan?

Zhan Tingyu is here?

Zi Xi and Gu Anran were both stunned.

No one thought that on the day of Gu Song's funeral, Zhan Tingyu would come over.

Looking at the man dressed in black, the jade tree was in the wind, and his feet seemed to be walking towards the wind, and he was in a trance for a moment. It seems to remember that night a month ago, when the Gu family was in a state of anxiety, and when grandpa was helpless, he came like a god.

The first time Zixi saw him, he felt that this man was extraordinary.

Gu Anran hurriedly greeted him, watched Zhan Tingyu give Gu Song incense, bowed, and then returned the salute.

From beginning to end, Zhan Tingyu didn't look at Zi Xi who was kneeling aside.

He didn't stay in the mourning hall for long, and then he was invited to the main hall by Gu Anran, saying that he wanted to drink tea, but Zixi felt that he should say something.

After all, Gu Anran's purpose was so obvious from the beginning - just to treat Gu Ruo!

The mourning hall was quiet again, Zi Xi burned the paper, but he remembered what Gu Anran said just now.

He said that there was a grudge between the Gu family and Zhan Tingyu, what kind of grudge was it?

Could it be related to the fact that Zhan Tingyu suddenly fell from the sky and extended an olive branch to the Gu family?

A gust of cold wind poured in from the door, and the glimmer of the white candle on the spiritual table swayed, and I don't know why, Zi Xi suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart......
