Gu Zhen is not a person who does not hide his feelings.

On the contrary, his love has never been well hidden, and outsiders can't see through it.

can make Qin Huaisheng guess his mind so lightly, it can only be said that it is because the sudden reunion with Ji Qiyue caught him off guard too much and was defenseless.

Lighting a cigarette, Gu Zhen quietly leaned against the wall opposite the bathroom and smoked.

Slowly exhaling the smoke ring, the smoke was filling, and his face was hidden behind it, with a sense of unreality.

In the bathroom, Ji Qiyue cleaned up the wine stains on her skirt, and then looked at herself in the mirror in a daze.

didn't face Gu Zhen, and the mask she had been pretending to have also appeared a crack in her wistful face.

Taking a deep breath, she told Sù that she had just met an old friend, and she only treated Gu Zhen as an old friend, which might be the best way for the two of them to get along now.

It's just that she ignored one point.

Once, though left in the past, it was real, and in some moments, it was the deadliest weapon.

Walking out of the bathroom, she saw Gu Zhen at a glance.

Slightly stunned, Ji Qiyue came back to his senses and showed an indifferent smile, "Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Zhen frowned, extinguished the cigarette in his hand and walked towards her, "You, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Ji Qiyue said softly.

From her face, he couldn't see much affection.

This year, she has changed a lotreads();.

At least the amount of alcohol was much better, and he remembered that she was not very good at drinking.

"Is it okay that you drink so much?" asked again, and after asking, Gu Zhen also frowned in annoyance.

What the hell is he talking about.

Ji Qiyue's expression changed slightly, he asked, and she replied: "It's okay, thank you Mr. Gu for your concern." ”

Then, there was silence.

Gu Zhen just looked at her, his eyes dark.

Ji Qiyue knew that this state was not very good, so he took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Gu, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

Gu Zhen nodded, watching her leave, he laughed at himself, waited for a while and went back to the private room.

After the dinner, Qin Huaisheng also arranged a trip to the nightclub later.

Some people didn't participate, and Ji Qiyue also planned to leave, but before she could speak, Qin Huaisheng said: "July, you can accompany Mr. Gu in the car for a while." You know each other, and it's more convenient to chat for a while. ”

Ji Qiyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Zhen consciously.

The other party's phoenix eyes were indifferent, and there was not too much affection.

Qin Huaisheng arranged it like this, it was impossible for her to leave, nodding, she said softly: "Got it, Mr. Qin." ”

When they came out of the Bolan International Club and were about to get into the car, Ji Qiyue found that there was a lady in the same car.

She is Gu Zhen's secretary, so she naturally wants to follow Gu Zhen.

The three of them walked to the car, and Ji Qiyue took the co-pilot.

Gu Zhen and Xia Qing sat in the back seat.

The car drove smoothly to the destination, and Ji Qiyue sat quietly, not chatting with Gu Zhen as Qin Huaisheng thought.

In this way, the atmosphere in the car was quiet and even a little suffocating.

About halfway through the drive, Xia Qing suddenly asked the driver for a bottle of water.

Taking out the medicine from the satchel, Xia Qing said softly: "Mr. Gu, it's time for you to take the medicine." ”

Xia Qing's words fell, and Ji Qiyue's attention was attracted.

Hearing that Xia Qing wanted Gu Zhen to take medicine, her heart immediately sank.

Is he sick?

No wonder she didn't think his face was good.

Maybe it was because Ji Qiyue was there, Gu Zhen didn't say a word, took the medicine, and ate it with water.

In the nightclub, it's nothing more than drinking and chatting, but it's much more relaxed than at the dinner.

Some people who didn't talk to Gu Zhen at the dinner all came over to talk with a toast at this time.

Gu Zhen's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but it was not rude.

Everyone also has a discernment, and after a few words, they all scattered reads();。

Ji Qiyue didn't sit next to Gu Zhen this time, but found a corner to sit, if you don't pay attention, it will be difficult to find that she is also there.

And although Gu Zhen has been talking to people all the time, his eyes have never left Ji Qiyue.

The light was already dim, and she sat in the far corner, and he could only see her face when the lights on the screen occasionally hit her.

In the early hours of the morning, the group walked out of the nightclub.

Qin Huaisheng and the others drank a lot and helped each other to walk, and Ji Qiyue also hugged a drunk female colleague.

However, Gu Zhen didn't seem to be drunk, and he walked very steadily.

Everyone was standing on the side of the road, and there were a lot of taxis parked.

Qin Huaisheng's driver came to pick him up, he said a few words to Gu Zhen, and got into the car with the help of the driver and secretary.

The female colleague Ji Qiyue was holding also had a boyfriend to pick her up, and as soon as she handed over the person, a low male voice sounded beside her.

"I'll send you."

Turning her head, she looked at Gu Zhen and shook her head with a smile: "No need, Mr. Gu, I'll just take a taxi back by myself." ”

Gu Zhen didn't speak, staring at her heavily.

Ji Qiyue raised her hand, and a taxi stopped in front of her.

"Mr. Gu, goodbye." Ji Qiyue said goodbye to Gu Zhen and opened the car door.

She was about to sit inside, but she suddenly stopped.

After hesitating, she turned to him and said, "You, pay attention to your body." ”

When the words fell, Ji Qiyue bent into the car.

Watching the car drive away until it disappeared from sight, Gu Zhen still couldn't come back to his senses.

"Mr. Gu, our car is here." Xia Qing reminded.

Gu Zhen nodded and walked to the car.

The financial meeting went very smoothly, and the two days passed quickly, and Gu Zhen was about to return to Xuancheng.

In the past two days, he has not seen Ji Qiyue, nor has he contacted her, but he learned from Qin Huaisheng that she will be transferred to work at the Haiyin branch in Xuancheng.

The news was a pleasant surprise to him, but he hadn't figured out what to do with it.

……

A week later.

The plane landed at Xuancheng Airport, and Ji Qiyue walked out of the airport with his suitcase in tow.

As soon as I got into the taxi, Enron's phone called.

"Hey, An'an."

"Have you arrived?"

"Well, just arrived."

"Go back to the apartment?"

"If you don't go back today, go back to my house first, and then go back tomorrow to pack up reads();."

"I won't be able to go back in a few more days, and we'll see you in Xuancheng."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Qiyue looked out the window.

The mood of coming back this time is a little strangely complicated.

After escaping for so long, she finally returned here.

*

In the new company, Ji Qiyue temporarily joined the public relations department, and after just two days of work, there was an assignment for her and two other colleagues.

Haiyin has done a lot of charity over the years, and just donated money to build a primary school in Yongxian County, a neighboring part of Spring City, a while ago.

Ji Qiyue's task this time is to donate a batch of new desks and chairs to the school, and to represent Haiyin to participate in the school's inauguration ceremony.

Before the class, two colleagues who had experience in expatriate assignment and had been to Yongxian County told Ji Qiyue about some things that needed to be prepared.

They set off the day after tomorrow, about a week or so.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes there, so you have to bring a little more toilet water and medicine to prevent mosquito bites." Female colleague Xiaolan admonished.

"There is also a large temperature difference between day and night, bring some thick clothes." Another male colleague, Fang Yong, said.

Ji Qiyue smiled and nodded, remembered them one by one, and said goodbye to his colleagues.

Fortunately, An An covered her furniture with white sheets, and Ji Qiyue took a weekend to clean it thoroughly.

When she returned home, she put her bag and began to cook, and after eating, she remembered Xiaolan's words, so she went out to buy flower water and ointment for mosquito bites.

There is a pharmacy at the entrance of the community, and Ji Qiyue went there.

After shopping and coming out, as soon as she walked into the community, she saw a big white meat dumpling and a tall man.

The pine nut smelled Ji Qiyue's scent, and the "whoosh" child rushed away from Gu Zhen's side, and it rushed towards Ji Qiyue.

Ji Qiyue didn't react, and there was already a large dog on his lap wagging his tail and barking coquettishly.

"Pine nuts?" She bent over and hugged the pine nut, "Pine nut! Pine nut! ”

"Woohoo, woohoo." The sound of the pine nut is soft, with a little nasal, which does not match its strong image at all.

Gu Zhen was wearing a silver-gray casual suit, and Ji Qiyue's silver-gray sportswear looked like a couple's outfit.

Looking at the one person and one cute pet hugging each other, his phoenix eyes were shining with soft light.

Walking over, he stood in front of Ji Qiyue.

Rubbing the pine nut's head, Ji Qiyue straightened up and said softly, "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, and he looked away and said, "I took Songzi out for a walk, Songzi misses you, and I ...... too."

Miss you reads();.

"I'll bring it here."

"Oh." Ji Qiyue nodded, bent over and pinched the tip of Songzi's nose, "Songzi, you have grown up so much, I almost can't recognize you." ”

"Whew." Songzi stuck out her tongue and licked Ji Qiyue's fingers, looking very good with her.

Gu Zhen saw that Ji Qiyue's attention was focused on Songzi again, so he stared at her again and looked greedily.

"Does it eat a lot? Is it okay to be so fat? Ji Qiyue squatted down and hugged the pine nuts, but found that he couldn't hold them at all.

"Well, take it to the doctor, no problem, Satsuma is so big." Gu Zhen replied.

Ji Qiyue was relieved and touched the ears of the pine nuts.

After staying like this for a while, Gu Zhen suddenly said, "Otherwise, put the pine nuts here for a few days and let it accompany you." ”

Gu Zhen's idea was very simple, Songzi was here, and he would have an excuse to come to her.

Ji Qiyue was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "But I have to go on a business trip to Yongxian the day after tomorrow." ”

"Then wait until you come back." Gu Zhen hurriedly said.

Ji Qiyue didn't know what Gu Zhen was thinking, so he asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"Yes."

"Then wait for me to come back from Yongxian." Ji Qiyue smiled and kissed the pine nuts.

Watching Ji Qiyue enter the apartment building, the smile on Gu Zhen's face had not yet receded.

Looking down at Matsuko, he said in a deep voice, "You did a good job." ”

Matsuko seemed to understand, and shook his tail proudly.

*

The night before leaving, Ji Qiyue went back to Ji's house for dinner.

Chen Yongning's health is much better, but his parents are old after all, and Ji Xiang is in the United States, if she doesn't accompany her, it will be too unfilial.

Worried about his parents' health, this is the reason why Ji Qiyue came back to Xuancheng.

Knowing that Ji Qiyue was going on a business trip, Ji Dong gave a few instructions, and Chen Yongning also gave a lot of advice.

"I've been on a business trip a lot, don't worry."

"My mother is worried, and you will naturally understand it when you become a parent in the future."

Chen Yongning didn't know that Ji Qiyue had a miscarriage, and after saying this, Ji Qiyue's expression changed slightly.

The suffocating pain in her heart, the child she had lost, had become an indelible wound to her.

Finding that Ji Qiyue's face was not good, Chen Yongning asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Not feeling well? ”

"Nope." Ji Qiyue hurriedly shook his head, "I'm fine." ”

After eating, the three of them were sitting on the sofa watching TV and chatting, when the phone suddenly rang, it was Ji Xiang calling.

"Hey, Xiao Xiang reads();."

"Sister, you're at home." Ji Xiang's voice sounded like he was in a good mood.

Ji Qiyue said a few words to him, and then Chen Yongning and Ji Dong answered.

Ji Xiang asked about Chen Yongning's physical condition, and knew that she was fine, and Ji Qiyue would stay in Xuancheng, so he was relieved.

In the end, the phone was changed to Ji Qiyue's hand, Ji Xiang hesitated, but still asked, "Sister, have you seen Brother Gu?" ”

Ji Qiyue was stunned and said softly: "I've seen it." ”

"What about you?"

"We don't have anything." Ji Qiyue said.

Ji Xiang sighed, as if he wanted to say something.

Ji Qiyue was puzzled and asked again, but he refused to say more.

"Sister, I'll go back in two months, and you'll know when we meet."

"What? You're coming back? Finished schooling? ”

"Hmm." Ji Xiang responded perfunctorily, said something else and hung up the phone.

Ji Qiyue put the phone up, and Chen Yongning immediately asked, "Xiaoxiang wants to come back?" ”

"Well, he said two more months."

"School is over?" Ji Dong asked suspiciously.

Ji Qiyue shook his head, "I don't know, Xiao Xiang won't say much, let's ask him again." ”

Early the next morning, Ji Qiyue and his colleagues Xiaolan and Fang Yong got on a plane to Spring City.

They had to take a plane to Chuncheng first, and then take a 10-hour bus ride to Yongxian.

……

Yongxian County is a poor county, the economy is very backward, there are many left-behind children here, and there are few schools, so Haiyin chose to build a school here that includes a primary school and a junior high school.

It's just that a lot of things really couldn't have been foreseen before.

This year, a large-scale earthquake struck Yongxian County, connecting Chuncheng and the surrounding cities, and the school that Haiyin had just built was also wiped out in this earthquake.

When Gu Zhen knew the news, he was watching the morning news at home.

For a moment, he was completely confused, unable to think about anything, and his mind was blank.

On the TV screen, reporters stand in front of a field of ruins, while some of the buildings behind them are still shaking.

"There may be aftershocks at any time, and the troops/teams and supplies dispatched by the government/government have arrived in Yongxian County in the early hours of this morning, and Yongxian County has been severely affected, and more than 95% of people have been displaced......"

Fingers trembling took out the mobile phone, Gu Zhen licked his dry lips, and dialed the phone out.

"Book me a ticket to Spring City! No? Trains, coaches, anything! ”

But because of the earthquake, all traffic was lost.

Gu Zhen couldn't, he couldn't wait for a moment, so he drove to Yongxian County read ();.

When he arrived outside Yongxian, the car couldn't get in, so he turned into walking.

There are people who have been affected by disasters everywhere, and seeing that scene with my own eyes will probably never forget it for the rest of my life.

When he met someone who could help, Gu Zhen would stop to help.

It's been three days, and he's not closed his eyes for three days.

Ji Qiyue's mobile phone has long been unreachable, but he still insists on typing multiple times a day, only hoping to hear her voice once.

Refusing to think of any possibility, he just knew that as long as he came, he would be able to see her, see her completely.

……

That evening, Ji Qiyue and Xiao Lan Fangyong were sitting on the stones in front of the tent, they had just helped rescue two people and were resting.

The medical staff gave each of the three of them a chocolate supplement, and Xiaolan held the chocolate and cried profusely.

Fang Yong gently hugged her shoulder, and the big man couldn't help but redden.

"I want to go home." Little Blue whimpered.

But now in this situation, they can't leave here for the time being.

Ji Qiyue took a bite of chocolate, the sweet taste overflowed her mouth, but she only felt bitter.

Until now, it was as if she was dreaming.

She was talking to Xiaolan in the school staff dormitory that day, when suddenly everything started shaking.

Since they were on the first floor, they ran out quickly.

And as soon as they came out, the dormitory building collapsed before their eyes.

It was almost a brush with death, and she will never forget the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

At that moment, someone's face flashed in her mind.

She was thinking that if she died, she would never see him again.

"Little Seven!"

The deep male voice seemed to come from outside the sky.

Ji Qiyue sobered up from the memories and slowly turned his head.

He was standing not far away, clothed in glow, breaking through the layers of dark clouds.

"Gogo ......," muttered as chocolate slipped from her palm.

She blinked, and he was still there.

He's coming.

Did he come for her?

Tears welled up in his eyes.

She turned to him, and he turned to her.

Running at the same time-
