She helped herself a lot, and she really should say Happy New Year, Gu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment and pressed the call button.

"Hello?"

"Guess who I am?"

I didn't expect the serious President Xiao Da to make such a joke, Gu Nanfeng couldn't help but finally showed a smile.

"Mr. Xiao"

"It's good, you remember me"

On the top floor of Xiao's house, she had just finished a busy day's work, rubbed her sore shoulders, took a cup of coffee and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the lights of the whole city fell into view.

She owns a lot of houses, but she doesn't have a home, on this special day, Qi Qi was also taken back to Xiao Minsheng to celebrate the New Year together, she simply stayed in the company and used trivial work to numb herself, but she still couldn't help but call her.

"How can you not remember, thank you Mr. Xiao for the year-end bonus"

Although she tried her best to hide it, Xiao Xubai still heard a hint of hoarseness in her voice, "You won't cry out of luck during the New Year, right, just think of me like this?" ”

“……”

Sure enough, after being serious for a few words, he began to tease himself again, but the bad mood was interrupted by her and became much better.

"Yes, I think Xiao Zong's hair is gray" Gu Nanfeng was a little tired from walking, sat down on the bench in the street park, and joked through gritted teeth.

Xiao Xubai chuckled, and the gentle and slightly magnetic voice sounded clearly in his ears through the radio waves, "Then don't come back soon."

The secretary was almost stunned when he pushed the door in with the Wen Jiàn clip, he had never seen Mr. Xiao show such a gentle look, and he was almost willing to drown inside.

"Let it go" Xiao Xubai motioned for her to put Wen Jiàn on the table, the secretary nodded, put it down lightly and retreated.

"Mr. Xiao is in the company?"

"Hmm"

"I don't want to go home for the New Year"

Xiao Xubai smiled, "You're not at home either"

I could hear a slight wind over there.

It's almost midnight, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, the street lights are dim and the snow is still falling, Gu Nanfeng rubbed his frozen red ears, "Well, I'm ready to go back"

"Gu Nanfeng" she suddenly called her name, her voice was low and beautiful, and she ironed it gently, which warmed her heart on this cold winter night.

"Huh?"

"Happy New Year"

The New Year's bell rang punctually, and the sky burst into brilliant fireworks, painting colorful flowers in the dark sky.

Gu Nanfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "Happy New Year"

The night sky of the city was lit up by the rising fireworks in an instant, and although it was thousands of miles away, Xiao Xubai still showed a smile on his lips, and repeated it in a low voice.

"Come back early"

"Good"

In this snowy night that was not clear, something gradually became clear in his heart, Xiao Xubai hung up the phone, was stunned for a while, turned around and picked up his coat and went out.

Anyway, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's go home.

Gu Nanfeng also walked back slowly, those disappointments and resentments towards the parents of the family were quietly soothed, although there was no word of comfort, but there was a person still thinking of her, this feeling was very warm.

――The dividing line of memory―

When Gu Nanfeng woke up, it was not yet dawn, she rubbed her eyebrows, her expression was still a little tired, the heating was turned on very much, she got up and poured water to drink, and turned on the computer by the way.

Typing on the keyboard word by word, a line slowly appeared on Word: resignation application.

She used to look forward to being able to walk on the podium, but now she finally realized her dream, but she had to leave, because she knew what kind of person Xiao Xubai was, and she didn't want to experience those sweet pains again.

Especially......

There was a deep pain in her eyes, and her fingers on the keyboard trembled, and she took a deep breath, suppressing the surging sadness, and continued to consider the words.

Looking at the neatly laid out resignation on the table, the headmaster pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and flipped a few pages before looking up at her.

"Teacher Gu, I still hope you can think about this matter clearly, you are the backbone of teaching in the school, the teaching expert in the province, and the class you lead is also an excellent class, and the children are about to take the high school entrance examination in half a year, and you know how big the impact is on changing teachers at this time."

It is worthy of being an old principal who has been teaching for many years, and convincing people is the way, Gu Nanfeng's eyes flashed with a look of struggle, and when she was about to speak, the principal interrupted her again.

"I know that young people will inevitably make mistakes, and I saw what happened at the school gate yesterday, but I have always believed in a saying over the years, otherwise there is nothing that cannot be solved."

In the recruitment examination three years ago, Gu Nanfeng stood out among thousands of people like a dark horse, and during the interview, he passed all the way, talked eloquently, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, the teaching method was novel, and he hit the nail on the head.

"Okay, it's almost class, you go back first"

The old principal's attitude was gentle and persuasive, Gu Nanfeng sighed lightly in his heart, and turned around to close the door for him.

The old principal has the grace of knowing her and has a love for the students, but ......

She bit her lip again and pushed open the office door, most of the teachers had gone to class, she only had classes in the afternoon, and as soon as she sat down in her chair, a new young teacher came over.

"Teacher Gu......" The young girl is full of enthusiasm, with a naïve nature that is not deeply involved in the world, and the exit is to spy on others.

"Is that man yesterday really your boyfriend, although it was a marriage proposal, but his attitude was too aggressive, and that woman was so handsome, it was said that she was still the parent of the child in your class......"

She gushed endlessly, Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the resignation letter she had in her hand, and immediately made a fuss, "Ah, Teacher Gu, you are going to resign."

Although she had just arrived, she also knew that Gu Nanfeng was a well-known teaching expert in the province, and there were even rumors that she was about to be promoted to the director of the teaching and research department.

Gu Nanfeng nodded, pulled out the cap of the fountain pen to prepare for class, "Yes"

Xiao Qi just passed by the window with the homework book, pursed his lips, and didn't send the homework to the office anymore, and trotted back to the classroom.

During the afternoon class, the atmosphere in the class was a little dull, and no one raised their hands to speak when they asked questions, Gu Nanfeng sensitively sensed that something was wrong, and a soft smile appeared on his lips as always.

"What's wrong? Are you a little sleepy in the afternoon class, or let's make a game to relax?"

If it had been left in the past, these children would have danced a long time ago, but now they have been silent for a long time, and finally someone stood up and spoke, "Teacher Gu, don't go"

It was Xiao Qi, the smile on the corner of her lips stiffened, and when she stood up one after another to speak, the smile finally couldn't be hung up, and her face became full of struggle and sadness.

"Teacher Gu, we must study hard in the future, and we will never be naughty again, don't you go, okay?"

"Teacher Gu, I remember that time I ran away from home because you brought me back from the Internet café at night, and talked to my parents for a long time, and they haven't beaten me since then, Teacher Gu, I don't want you to go"

These immature voices said the words over and over again, Gu Nanfeng's eyes gradually turned red, and in the torment of minute by minute, she finally heard the bell ringing after class, and after saying the end of class in a trembling voice, she rushed out of the classroom like a fly.

The person who used to wait for her at the school gate was now Xiao Xubai, she leaned sideways against the car window, and her expression was a little gloomy.

Seeing her come out from afar, Xiao Xubai greeted her, Xiao Qi also followed her all the way, she touched her hair first, "Qi Qi asked the driver to send you home first, and Mom will go back later"

After watching Xiao Qi nod obediently, she raised her head to look at her, although her eyes were extremely calm, there was still a trace of eagerness.

"I'll send you"

Gu Nanfeng took a step back, widened the distance between the two people, turned around and walked towards the carport, "No need"

"South Wind!" Xiao Xubai blocked her way, and many people looked over here.

Gu Nanfeng bit his lip and avoided her hand without a trace, "Mr. Xiao, please respect yourself"

Her expression is detached, and her indifference does not seem to be fake, but who is President Xiao, her weakness has long been clear, and if she stops here, she will not be Xiao Xubai.

"As a parent, can I talk to Teacher Gu?"

She used an affirmative sentence, obviously expecting that she would not refuse, and it was obviously not wise to pull and pull in front of the public.

Gu Nanfeng bit his lip, and finally turned around and walked outside the school gate, Xiao Xubai provoked a smug smile on the corner of his white lips, and followed step by step.

In the quiet café, the music is low and soothing, the warm colors are decorated, and the atmosphere is warm and sweet, but it doesn't belong to the two of them.

Gu Nanfeng was sitting in a precarious position, his body was tense, and his toes were outward, which was a precautionary posture in psychology.

Xiao Xubai's eyes quietly flashed a trace of gloom, but he still smiled, "A latte, a caramel macchiato, thank you"

Gu Nanfeng hooked the corners of his lips slightly, "A glass of white water, thank you"

The smile on Xiao Xubai's face froze, macchiato was once her favorite coffee, how much has she changed, or is she still unwilling to face the past?

The orange light casts light and shadow on her face, her skin is pale and weak, the fine fluff is clearly visible, the long eyelashes on the side of her face are curled, there is a trace of tiredness and vicissitudes hidden under her eyes, the shirt fits her body, the buttons are tied to her collarbone, and the beauty of abstinence is different from the gentle and kind girl in the past after all.

"South Wind ......"

"Xiao Xubai, there is nothing more to say between us, let's get together and disperse, don't come to pester me anymore"

Her eyes were dark blue that makeup couldn't hide, and her tone was cold but a little fragile, "I've lived a good life in the past few years, and my life without you is very peaceful, just like I've never met you, I don't want to live like that anymore......"

Xiao Xubai gradually clenched the cup in his hand, his fingertips white, "The peace you are talking about is marrying that scumbag who doesn't learn anything, and then marrying and teaching children for the rest of your life?!" ”

"What's not to do, bland is also a kind of happiness" Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyes slightly, and the look on his face was a little indifferent.

"But he doesn't love you! Even if you are looking for it, find someone who truly loves you and is good to you! ”

She was rarely excited, her eyes were red, but Gu Nanfeng still ignored it.

"Love is too extravagant, I can't afford it, I just hope that there will be someone who can serve tea and water when I am sick"

"What is there about me that is not as good as that man, and if you want to marry him, what about me?! I can do what you say......"

"But you can never do one thing," she said coldly, interrupting her, "We were not suitable from the beginning, whether it was from the status of the person, or even the interests and hobbies, there was no place for matching, since it was a mistake, then let's stop here"

Not daring to raise his head to meet her injured eyes, Gu Nanfeng picked up his bag and got up, but the man spoke slowly but firmly, "So that's why you resigned?" In the past, you had dreams and persistence, but now you have become lifeless, and you can even give up your dreams, am I so worthy of your attachment?"

Her voice is as low and beautiful as ever, but it lacks that bit of domineering, "Actually, I don't expect anything real, there is nothing more joyful than you are still alive, if you can go back to the past, it is good, if you can't go back, then ......"

She paused, suddenly lowered her head, and her tone gradually declined, which was a rare show of weakness, "It's okay to take a step back and be friends"
