"Thank you...... Thank you. Gu Lichuan looked at the envelope in his hand and thanked the courier brother.

The courier brother nodded at Gu Lichuan and turned to leave.

"What kind of letter?" Ying Lan curiously stepped forward to ask, there are not many letters sent this year.

Gu Lichuan looked at the letter in his hand puzzled, and took the door with him.

"I don't know who sent it," Gu Lichuan threw the letter on the coffee table, although he was very interested in the sender, he didn't expect much from the content, "An idler like me, what's the hurry." ”

Ying Lan glared at Gu Lichuan, and then at the letter. Although she really wanted to open the letter at the moment, this was Gu Lichuan's letter, and she couldn't touch it casually.

Beautiful envelope, neatly sealed with shiny wax. It seems that the sender is a meticulous person, at least from the outside.

"I think," Gu Lichuan sensed Ying Lan's infinitely swollen curiosity, so he picked up the letter from the coffee table again, "I should go and clean up the dark matter that Miss Ying Lan created now, and leave the task of reading the letter to the witty Miss Ying Lan." ”

"Huh?" Ying Lan looked at the letter Gu Lichuan handed to her, and then looked into his eyes, "Is it okay?"

Gu Lichuan laughed: "Of course you can, I have nothing to hide, especially to you." ”

Ying Lan looked at him, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lichuan loosened the letter again, "Come on, I'm going to brush the pot." ”

Slowly reaching out to take the letter, Ying Lan rubbed her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lichuan leaned up, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"I'm fine!" Ying Lan raised her head, a shallow smile appeared on her lips, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”

Gu Lichuan nodded, and then trotted into the kitchen.

Ying Lan began to carefully peel off the wax seal that sealed the letter, and the half-solidified wax dripped onto the envelope, which was pressed down by the solid fire seal, and turned into the gorgeous appearance it is now. Her fingers gently scratched the edges of the wax stamp, and her fingertips felt the slippery and delicate touch unique to solid wax.

There was the sound of running water in the kitchen, and Gu Lichuan seemed to have started to brush the pot.

Gu Lichuan still believes in himself. Ying Lan thought about it while peeling off the wax seal completely, and the suppressed of the lost wax seal, the envelope slowly opened her mouth, as if she couldn't wait to confide Gu Lichuan's secret to Ying Lan.

"Ying Lan, have you eaten?" Gu Lichuan's inquiry came from the kitchen.

Ying Lan carefully placed the wax seal in the corner of the coffee table, and raised her voice in order to let Gu Lichuan, who was far away in the kitchen, hear: "Not yet, do you want to cook?"

With that, she sat down on the soft sofa in front of the coffee table, gently pinched one side of the letter, and took it out of the envelope.

The texture of the letter paper is also very smooth, not a shoddy product with three cents and two pieces on the street.

"I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't lift my arms, so let's go out to eat. Gu Lichuan stuck out his head from the kitchen.

"If you go to the restaurant, you will get the smell of oily smoke, how bad it smells," Ying Lan unfolded the folded letterhead, "Why don't you order takeout." "It's beautiful English on the letter, and it really takes a lot of work to write it so beautifully.

"Okay. Gu Lichuan retracted his head, and there was a rustling sound from the kitchen where the wire ball and the pot came into contact.

So she began to read the letter from Rome in English.

In about ten minutes, the sound of the water stopped, and Ying Lan saw Gu Lichuan holding an iron pot through the hidden door, carefully examining the traces left by the dark matter. After looking at it for a moment, he put the pot on the stove, and then nodded with great certainty and pride.

Ying Lan, who was amused by his silly actions, raised the letter in her hand: "Gu Lichuan, I've finished reading it." ”

"What's written in it?" Gu Lichuan turned on the gas stove, the blue flame scorched the bottom of the pot, and the stagnant water in the pot was slowly evaporated.

"Your high school classmates, inviting you to go on vacation to Rome. Ying Lan refolded the letter along the original creases and carefully put it back in the envelope, which was regarded as a little respect for Gu Lichuan's trust.

Gu Lichuan walked out of the kitchen: "It's Fu Yihan." ”

"How do you know?" said Lingering handed him the letter.

Gu Lichuan took the letter and smiled bitterly, with a look on his face that he had seen through everything: "Apart from him, who else can make such a big show." ”

"Who is that Fu Yihan?" Ying Lan put her legs up, hugged her knees with her hands and asked Gu Lichuan.

"As you can see, high school classmates," Gu Lichuan also sat down and took out the letter from the envelope again, still praising Ying Lan for treating her letter so carefully, "The family is quite rich, and saying that going to high school is actually going to the gangsters, and by the way, I will get a diploma." ”

Ying Lan nodded: "Is that so." ”

Gu Lichuan blinked, the lingering Lan in front of him blurred in his vision, and the classroom of the year appeared in front of him.

"Gu Lichuan, what are you doing?" Rita lay on Gu Lichuan's side and put her hand on his arm like a cat.

"What else can you do, you must be painting his boring paintings again. Fu Yihan, who was passing by, tied his school uniform around his waist and looked at Gu Lichuan, who bowed his head and was silent.

He tilted his head and saw Gu Lichuan's painting through Rita's long golden hair.

"At your level, you're not as good as me. Seeing Gu Lichuan's good painting, Fu Yihan stepped forward and said to Gu Lichuan in a mocking tone.

"I think it's better for you to attend classes and listen to the lectures, after all, I can go abroad directly after graduation, and if you can't get into the university, it will be the end of Gu Lichuan. ”

Gu Lichuan didn't speak, just pursed his lips and used an eraser to erase the wrong place he had drawn because of distraction.

"You see, you don't like me to say that, but it's true. Fu Yihan shrugged his shoulders and used his eyes to sneak a look at Rita's expression - this mixed-race little girl has been attracting his attention since she entered this class, but no matter how he uses to get her attention, Rita will always surround Gu Lichuan like a satellite.

This time was no exception, Rita glanced back at Fu Yihan, didn't say a word, and then continued to sit next to Gu Lichuan and watch him draw.

Fu Yihan, who was coldly opposite by Rita, stood aside in embarrassment, but still refused to let go of his figure: "Rita, you are still so clingy to Gu Lichuan now, when you look back after you go to college, you will know how ridiculous it is now." ”

"Then what's there," Rita didn't look back this time, "Wherever Gu Lichuan goes, I'll go." ”

"He will finish his studies by then, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to support himself, what's the use of you following him, eating soil together?" Fu Yihan's implication was nothing more than to let Rita pay attention to herself.

But Gu Lichuan's pen stopped.

"You see, he himself acquiesced. Fu Yihan, who saw Gu Lichuan stop writing, seemed to be even more arrogant.

Gu Lichuan stretched out his hand and gently hugged Rita's shoulder.

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll take good care of Rita. ”

Gu Lichuan had forgotten how fierce or hateful his eyes were at that time, at that time, they were like small beasts that had not yet formed, fierce and aggressive, but they were trapped in a cage. Everyone listened to the bright future described by the teacher in a daze, and looked forward to the vast world after leaving the school. Now, many years later, how many of them have fulfilled their wishes and how many have fulfilled their promises.

"I don't have any friendship with him, I can't get along with that kind of person by nature," Gu Lichuan folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, "I guess I don't have the funds to participate in this kind of vacation because of my poverty, and even if I do, I will be embarrassed by all kinds of poor etiquette, so just write a letter and be polite." ”

After speaking, Gu Lichuan turned around and planned to walk into the house: "You're hungry, I'm hungry too, I'll go get my mobile phone and order takeout." ”

But he felt that his shoulders were being pressed by something and he couldn't move forward, so Gu Lichuan glanced back and found that Ying Lan was standing on the sofa, pressing his shoulders with both hands, looking at him with a somewhat serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lichuan lifted Ying Lan's arm, then turned to face Ying Lan, and slowly put her hands on his shoulders.

"I want you to go. Ying Lan looked at Gu Lichuan's eyes with an unusually firm look, that kind of firmness that Gu Lichuan had never seen before.

"Why?"

"I don't want to see you sad. ”

Hearing this, Gu Lichuan was stunned. He looked at Ying Lan's sincere eyes and fell silent.

I don't know why, although Gu Lichuan fell into a memory just now, although it was only a few seconds, Ying Lan rarely understood his heart, that kind of declining and lonely look, only when Gu Lichuan was really sad would he see it.

He must have encountered some kind of knot. Thinking so, Ying Lan secretly made up her mind. Since Ying Lan can no longer protect you, then Gu Lichuan, at least let me help you, whether it's to fight or face life.

Gu Lichuan silently looked at Ying Lan, this look, this look.

He slowly walked a few steps forward, and Ying Lan also jumped off the sofa and looked at him seriously: "Judging by your appearance, high school must have been neither happy nor pleasant, and there should be no one to talk to you except your girlfriend." Gu Lichuan looked at her and nodded.

"Your classmates must be annoying, always irritating you with that kind of strange words, right?"

"How do you ...... Knowing everything. Gu Lichuan seemed to have been stabbed in the heart and stopped looking at her.

Ying Lan stretched out her hand and poked Gu Lichuan's forehead: "That kind of strange past, of course you should go and break it." Otherwise, you'll feel uncomfortable when you think about it. ”

She paused, as if she felt that she had just talked too much because of a moment of excitement. Then, she slowly adjusted her breathing and said her last words.

"I don't like to feel uncomfortable watching Gu Lechuan. That's it. ”

After speaking, the silent Gu Lichuan gently stretched out his hands towards Ying Lan.

"What are you doing?" Ying Lan looked at Gu Lichuan's posture and was at a loss.

As she spoke, Gu Lichuan had already slowly hugged her.

"Lechuan ......" was hugged by Gu Lichuan, and Ying Lan was a little panicked, looking at the ceiling like a frightened deer, and her straight arms and clenched hands didn't know where to put them.

"Yinglan," Gu Lichuan finally spoke, his tone calm and low, "Thank you." ”

The kitchen faucet dripped a drop of water and slapped it in the trough with a dull "thump".

Ying Lan's hands seemed to be manipulated by the thread, and hesitantly, slowly put them on Gu Lichuan's back. The moment he touched it, it was like an electric current passing by, and Ying Lan's heart trembled violently. She gently sniffed the faint scent of the shower gel on Gu Lichuan's shoulders and neck, and her whole body felt soft.

But this strange feeling was shattered by the hunger of the two of them - almost at the same time, both of them made a "cooing" sound in their stomachs.

Gu Lichuan let go of Ying Lan and laughed embarrassedly: "Oops, I'm starving, I'm going to order takeout, what do you want to eat?"

"It's all, it's all good. Ying Lan nodded carelessly, holding Gu Lichuan's arms as if there was still residual heat on his body.

"Our vacation has just begun," Gu Lichuan smiled at her, "I still have a lot to learn from you." ”

With that, he walked into the house, leaving behind a slender back.

Ying Lan touched her cheek in a panic, presumably if there was a mirror, she would be able to see how red her face was at the moment.
