31. The rest of your life
What pulled her back to reality was Lin Xuan's increasingly excited voice, the whispers of the surrounding crowd seemed to be infinitely amplified, and the piercing eardrums were buzzing.
Gu Nanfeng took a step back slightly, and when she wanted to turn around and enter the school gate, she was pulled again, the man's hand was unusually strong, she stumbled under her feet, and was held steadily.
The man's voice was always calm and calm, undisturbed, only the slight tremor of the tail note showed that his heart was not calm.
"In public, are you coercing Nanfeng to marry you, it's not terrible for a man to be shameless, it's terrible to lose even dignity"
Seeing him firmly holding Gu Nanfeng's hand, Xiao Xubai felt inexplicably dazzling, "Take your hand away!" ”
"Who are you......" As soon as the words fell, he grinned in pain, Xiao Xubai grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand off, Taekwondo black belt judo eight dan is not practiced in vain.
I never thought that I would meet her in this situation, it was not beautiful enough, and it was even a little embarrassing, but I could meet her every time I was most down, it was like this before, and it is like this now.
There are so many coincidences in the world, and the so-called fate is just another person trekking through mountains and rivers to find her.
Gu Nanfeng's face turned pale and pale, her chest seemed to be pressed against a stone, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Xubai or Lin Xuan, she just wanted to leave here and run away.
Since that glimpse in the bar, Xiao Xubai has imagined what countless reunions will be like, but none of them are real at this moment.
She has changed a lot, she has faded from her youth to maturity, her baby has lost her fat and pointed chin, her eyes are no longer clear, full of tiredness and vicissitudes, and at the age of twenty-six she looks about the same age as herself.
Some people say that liking is presumptuous, but love is restraint, if it was in the past, she would definitely take her into her arms, or give a wet kiss in front of everyone to declare her right to belong.
Now even though her fingertips are shaking with excitement, she still tries her best to calm down, and coldly calls the security guard over, "How did you all become security guards, watching outsiders bully the teachers of your school and stand by?!" What should I do if so many people are stuck here and something happens? Don't take this banner down yet."
She picked up her mobile phone again and dialed 110, "Hey, this is the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, someone disrupts the normal teaching order and threatens public safety, yes, that's it"
Hearing that she called the police, the security guards seemed to come back to their senses, and they went up to pull Lin Xuan away, while hurriedly removing the banner.
In this year, all the families were only children, and the lives of the students were more safe than the sky, and the speed of the police was very fast, and the crowd dispersed in a hurry.
A farce finally came to an end, Xiao Xubai came to his senses and wanted to hold her hand, but the person shook his head and retreated step by step.
"No...... I don't know you......" She kept repeating something in a low voice, her eyes dodging in horror, as if she were some kind of flood beast.
Xiao Xubai felt a pain in her heart, but she turned around and ran up quickly, stumbling and running, and from time to time bumped into the cake box in someone's hand and fell to the ground, Gu Nanfeng didn't care about picking it up, afraid that she would chase after her, and she ran faster and faster.
The traffic on the road was weaving, and from time to time there were cars that quickly passed by her, and then the horns sounded one after another, afraid that she would be in danger Xiao Xubai did not chase anymore, stopped and gasped for breath, because of inhaling too much cold air, the pain like pins and needles in the lungs was not worth one ten-thousandth of the heart.
Why hide from her?
Why pretend you don't know?
Did I really hurt you too much in the past......
If I say that I am no longer the Xiao Xubai I used to be, will you still be with me?
Swept away by great joy and outright sadness, she had to take a cigarette out of her bag and light it to calm down.
Anyway, since I found her, I won't let go, and the days to come will be long, and I will ask her for more advice for the rest of my life.
After stumbling into someone again, Gu Nanfeng hurriedly raised his head and wanted to say sorry, but the man helped her steady, holding the supermarket shopping bag in his hand.
"Teacher Gu, are you alright?"
Her face was pale, her thin lips were not bloody, and the hand she was holding was cold to the bone.
Ye Qiu's voice was a little anxious, and he called her a few more times before he came back to his senses, Gu Nanfeng shook his head and pulled his hand out of her palm.
"It's okay......"
"Today, the apprentice's daughter-in-law came to the store to play, let's go over and have a meal together"
She shook the shopping bag in her hand, and smiled sincerely and brightly, "By the way, try my handiwork"
The messy mood was infected by her smile and became better, Gu Nanfeng nodded, "Okay"
The first floor of Ye Qiu's tattoo parlor is the place of work, and the second floor is the living bedroom, usually she lives here alone, and the apprentice sometimes brings her daughter-in-law to eat.
After coming more times, Yuebai gradually became more and more different, sometimes jumping on her lap and being coquettish, fluffy and rolling in her arms, which finally made Gu Nanfeng smile on his lips for a long time.
"I feel like the moon is a little heavier"
"Recently, I have been running out every day, and when I come back, my stomach is bulging, and I don't know what I ate outside."
Ye Qiu scratched its chin as she spoke, and Yuebai meowed pleasantly, "Why don't you go down and play with them for a while, anyway, it will take a while to eat."
She has seen Ye Qiu's apprentices and apprentices' daughters-in-law, all of whom are very cheerful and kind people, but she still doesn't like to talk to strangers.
"The two of them are young people, I won't join in the fun."
"You're very old" Ye Qiu tied her apron and turned around and smiled at her while choosing vegetables in the pool.
"No matter how old Teacher Gu is, she will always be the most beautiful goddess in my heart!"
She stood on the side of the west sun, just blocking most of the daylight, the fluff on her face was clearly visible, and the studs on her earlobes were shining, with a bright smile, which made people's hearts warm.
In fact, Ye Qiu is a person very similar to Zhixia, both of them are the same cheerful and bright, after something like that, she thought that she would never see Zhixia's smile again, but she could still smile at herself cheerful and bright.
――The dividing line of memory―
The moment he saw her approaching the library, Gu Nanfeng thought that he was dazzled, and before she could rub her eyes, Song Zhixia had already approached her, lowered his voice and handed her the book in his hand.
"I bought the "Snow Country" you like"
Gu Nanfeng was stunned, and when he took the book, there seemed to be her temperature still left, and when he raised his head, he saw her soft and sad smile.
"Nanfeng, let's go have a meal together, my plane tomorrow will go to the UK"
It's not that she didn't tell her that she was going abroad, but she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and stay in the face of her pleading eyes, so it wasn't until the last moment that Song Zhixia told her the truth.
Gu Nanfeng didn't know what kind of expression to show to meet the situation, she had been staring at the pastoral floral-style tablecloth in front of her silently for a long time, the coffee was no longer steaming, and Song Zhixia beckoned to change the cup.
"Nanfeng, this is the key on my cabinet, there are some things that can't be taken away, so I'll leave them to you, you can see if the cosmetics can still be used, if you can't use them, throw them away"
"And that pot of meaty ......," she paused, watching her eyes redden, and the rest of the words were a little unspeakable.
The pot of succulent meat was a birthday gift she gave herself, not very valuable, but she carefully cultivated it herself, and the green was very cute on the desk.
"I won't take ...... with me"
No matter how much she struggled, she still had to speak, and she closed her eyes and didn't look at her expression, which was so grief-stricken.
Gu Nanfeng added a lot of sugar to the coffee in front of her, she wanted to take a sip to wash away her sadness, but it was even more bitter, and she couldn't say a complete sentence in her heart.
"In the future, I have to be more cheerful, don't be so taciturn, make more friends, fortunately there is Fu Lin, otherwise how can I rest assured"
She pretended to be relaxed and natural, but Gu Nanfeng clenched the cup in her hand, her palm was still wrapped in gauze, and her fingertips were white.
"Zhixia ......"
"Nanfeng, don't speak, listen to me" Song Zhixia stopped her words, "We have all learned a sentence very early, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, but we still can't learn to part."
"You also know that something so big has happened, I can't stay here anymore"
She can go abroad to escape, but she can't avoid it, the smile on the corner of Gu Nanfeng's lips was a little cold, she held back her tears, and asked in a trembling voice: "Can ...... Can you stay...... You know my ......."
"I know, I know it, but so what, we can't be together after all"
It's not that she hasn't heard of those gossips, Gu Nanfeng can deal with them calmly, she thinks she doesn't have such a good concentration, and she can't turn a blind eye to the world's eyes.
Instead of worrying and complaining all day long after being together, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you have not yet picked out anything, and completely break off those past events.
Tears fell on the tablecloth, and they were fleeting, like the light that gradually extinguished under Gu Nanfeng's eyes.
In some moments, she thought that Song Zhixia was also intentional to herself, such as when she swept her lips like a dragonfly, such as when she held her hand tightly when the crowd was crowded, such as the thin kiss that fell on her eyebrows.
Another example is that she held her face and said, when the police come later, they will say that I killed the person, how touched at that moment is, how frustrated she is now.
"I don't know what kissing is to you...... But I ......"
"I'm sorry" may be because the south wind is weak and his desire to protect is troublesome, or maybe it is a momentary hormone volatilization.
Song Zhixia took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her, Gu Nanfeng didn't answer, she stood up and wiped her tears, and said in a low voice: "If you ...... because of my kindness to you"
"Zhixia, if you don't love someone, don't be so good to her, none of us is wrong, it's just that we look at the problem differently"
Gu Nanfeng turned his head away from her hand, and the alienation that had just come out of prison appeared on his face again.
"Have a nice trip, goodbye"
