Two years later.

At G City Airport, a white Audi was parked outside the exit of the airport hall, Ji Xinyao in the car had just heard the news that a plane had landed on time, and it was almost the same when she calculated the time, she glanced at the time again, and then turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Gu Xiuli, who had not seen her for two years, walking out of the airport hall with a small travel bag.

Gu Xiuli was dressed in a black casual sportswear suit, looking a little more casual and natural than when he was in the Land Bureau a few years ago, and he glanced at this side casually when he took off his sunglasses, with the stability and handsomeness unique to mature men, just standing there, Qingjun Zhuoran's bearing attracted the attention of the young girls passing by, and it also made Ji Xinyao in the car can't help but take a few more looks.

Sometimes she was really proud that she had such a younger brother, but when she thought of the non-saying goodbye when he left two years ago, she got out of the car directly, threw the car door and walked over with a smile, Gu Xiuli had already seen her, her thin lips were slightly raised, and she stretched out her arms to signal her to pass.

The moment he stretched out his arms, Ji Xinyao was stunned for a moment, she seemed to see that Xiuli, who was still a sister and brother with her in the past, came back, they didn't have to resist every time they held hands, they wouldn't be embarrassed or even feel * for a certain hug, they didn't have to deliberately keep their distance, because they were the closest people from the beginning, every time Gu Xiuli deliberately distanced herself over the years, how many times she had dreamed back at midnight, she could still dream that Xiuli was wearing her cartoon pajamas when she was okay and deliberately angry with her, can still dream of her holding a rolling pin all over the house chasing him full of laughter and laughter, but the young boy in her memory seems to have been gone for a long, long time.

"Missed me?" Gu Xiuli looked at her with a smile.

Ji Xinyao came back to her senses, stepped forward and reached out to hug his waist as if symbolically, and was about to retreat, but as soon as she passed, she was suddenly hugged by him, tightly, she was stunned, but she heard him say in her ear: "Xin Yao, I'm back." ”

"Repair ......"

"Sister." Before she could speak, she heard him whisper in her ear.

Gu Xiuli hasn't called her sister since she was seventeen years old, and she has been calling her by her name since then, often with her first name and surname, this sister, Ji Xinyao only felt a sour nose, as if something was surging in her heart, but she understood, just such a word she understood, her Xiuli really came back.

She raised her eyes, but saw Gu Xiuli's smile, there was a kind of relief in the faint smile, a kind of stability and sobriety after a man's precipitation, and a kind of sunshine and gentleness that belonged to Xiuli, seeing her in a daze, he raised his hand and patted her head: "What kind of daze?" ”

Ji Xinyao took two deep breaths, then pushed him away abruptly, glaring at his casual expression: "Xiuli, don't think that you can hide from me!" Two years ago, you suddenly resigned from the Land Bureau without saying a word, and you didn't even tell anyone in the Gu family that Moxin returned to the United States alone, and you didn't call me until you got on the plane, but you only said that you were going to go out for a walk, and then hung up the phone, and there has been no news for two years, do you know how many times I have had trouble with Nancy in the past two years in order to find you? He has so many networks, but he just won't help me find it, and I'm so angry that I almost run away from home with my children! ”

Gu Xiuli chuckled: "Why aren't you angry enough to divorce him again?" ”

The corners of Ji Xinyao's mouth twitched: "He won't divorce me if he dies, and I can't make a fuss~"

"I saw him once before I left, and he knew where I was going, and he didn't tell you because I said that when I figured it out, I would come back, and I didn't have to look for me."

"Where the hell have you been in the past two years?" Ji Xinyao asked curiously as she walked to the car with him.

What made her even more curious was Xiuli's change, when the children were kidnapped two years ago, she vaguely felt that he had something on his mind in the hospital, but at that time she was too worried about the children's affairs and had no energy to think about other things, and then Youran and Xuran were found back, she stayed by the child's side all day, and the feeling of fear in her heart was about half a month before she pressed the fear in her heart, but during that time when she tried to contact Gu Xiuli again, he always avoided her, Until one day she received a call from him, it was before he left, and after that, he never saw him again, and even his mobile phone was always turned off until it stopped, and all the acquaintances around him knew nothing about his whereabouts.

And a few days ago she received a call from an unfamiliar number, and she didn't expect it to be Xiuli at all, he said that he was coming back soon, and said the flight and time.

Today, she also took advantage of the children's weekend vacation to send the children to the Gu family's grandparents to play, and after informing Gu Nancy in the morning, she drove alone to pick up the airport.

Gu Xiuli put the travel bag in the trunk of the car, Ji Xinyao stood beside him and looked him up and down curiously, he sighed: "What do you look at me like this?" ”

"Hey, don't be mysterious, where have you been in the past two years?" Ji Xinyao hit him with her arm and winked at him: "Hurry up and explain honestly!" ”

Gu Xiuli chuckled, closed the trunk casually, then put one hand in his trouser pocket, and glanced at the crowd shuttling back and forth in the airport: "I'm going out to wander, wherever I go, if you want to say where you go, it's really a lot." ”

"Wandering?" Ji Xinyao was puzzled.

Gu Xiuli smiled, not explaining anything to her doubts: "Let's go." ”

The car drove all the way to the urban area of G City, Ji Xinyao looked at Gu Xiuli sitting in the back row through the rearview mirror while driving the car, he always looked indifferently and calmly at every familiar scenery passing by outside the window, in two years, G City has always been developing rapidly, and the barren land on both sides of the airport highway has also been covered by many rebuilt factories and various buildings under construction, he just looked, but he didn't have any unusual feelings.

"Xiu Li, you said you went out to wander, so did you bring money...... Finally, Ji Xinyao couldn't help it, and after the two of them were quiet for about ten minutes, she still asked.

Gu Xiuli glanced at her: "Before leaving, I brought a few thousand yuan with me." ”

Thousands of pieces...... Two years, that's no different from not bringing money.

Ji Xinyao's heart was a little nervous, because of the child's affairs at that time, she didn't pay much attention to the relationship between Xiu Li and Mo Xin, when she and the Gu family knew that Mo Xin had returned to the United States, Xiu Li had already left at that time, and there was no way to contact him, and the Lin family never said anything about it, with the friendship between Gu Nancy and Lin Qifan, but they only learned from Lin Qifan that Mo Xin is doing well now, and Mo Xin is now majoring in piano and studies, hoping not to be disturbed too much. But what happened between Mo Xin and Gu Xiuli couldn't be asked at all, and the Lin family didn't seem to want to mention it again.

I wanted to ask him if it was because of Lin Moxin who suddenly ran away without saying a word two years ago, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask, looking at the man who seemed to have not changed, but seemed to have changed a lot, Ji Xinyao thought of the fact that he had just called his sister, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile and said, "Do you want to go back home first, or go back to the famous city of Shuiyuan first?" ”

"The famous city of water garden." He replied.

Ji Xinyao didn't ask much, but she still glanced at him.

"I'm coming back this time, only you know, I don't plan to sue the Gu family, I'll rest for a few days and leave."

"Let's go? Won't you want to wander? Are you addicted? Ji Xinyao was speechless.

Gu Xiuli smiled: "When will you be able to change your problem?" ”

"Anyway, don't think about leaving if you don't explain clearly, the inexplicable disappearance is two years, my little heart can't bear it, if you leave again, you must explain it to me clearly!" Ji Xinyao stared ahead, and said while driving the car seriously: "Also, I want to know, why did you leave in the first place?" And it went so suddenly? ”

Gu Xiuli didn't answer, just looked at the street scene outside the car window and fell into a long silence.

Until the car drove into the city, the familiar street scene was still in front of me, the city has not changed much, but some large and small shops on the street have changed their owners and signs, but when passing by the blue flame bar, the qiē outside the bar is still the same, as if it has not changed in the past two years.

But in the past two years, Gu Xiuli, he left G City, went to Y City, where Ji's family was located when he was a child, and went to F City, which had left his countless youthful footsteps, and then he took a train through Myanmar and passed through the Golden Triangle, experienced life and death in that dangerous and sensitive area, experienced life and death and experienced escape, he went to Africa, watched the adults and children who were thirsty and starved to death in the hot and dry desert, wanted to help them but found that the power of human beings was too small, he experienced epidemics and plagues in small African villages, When he was seriously ill, he drank muddy water fed to him by a little black girl, and when he recovered from his illness, he learned to build a house with them, and then he walked through the rainforest, and he crossed two oceans by boat, England, France, and the Netherlands...... He emptied himself and regained his original self, and many things that he couldn't let go of and couldn't let go of were slowly seen clearly. He went to many places, but not to America.

When he was seriously injured by a stray bullet attack by a local drug lord in the Golden Triangle, and experienced a life-and-death struggle, he knew that if he survived, he would definitely go to the United States.

The United States is his next stop and will be his last.
