After a short conversation, he still had something to do, so after telling her to stay here obediently, he asked Lao Wang to come and pick him up. April has been in the clouds, and she still doesn't understand the other party's true intention of keeping her here. In such a villa, she never dreamed that one day she would be able to live in it and enjoy the treatment of a princess, and it came too quickly, which made people feel unreal.

But no matter what the reason, what kind of purpose he had for her, she could only accept it completely.

The people in this villa have a clear division of labor, she doesn't have anything to do at all, and she can't help but be a little bored if she has nothing to do. After watching TV for a while, she remembered the study that Gu Qingyan had taken her to see, so she wanted to go over and have a look.

She only went to high school, and her academic performance at that time was always in the middle of the stream. She hadn't read a book for many years, and she had just caught a glimpse of a lot of books, and she was a little moved. It's not that I like to read books so much, but I just want to relive the time when I used to read books.

She followed the feeling in her heart, and unconsciously walked to the study along the route in her memory. Standing in front of the door and stopping for a while, she slowly pushed the door open, and for a while, the quaint, mixed with the smell of old books greeted her, and people couldn't help but calm down.

Different from the modern design outside, the study room is full of antique atmosphere, and even the bookcase placed in front of it is made of old mahogany zuò. There is also a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and the inkstone carved with dragon patterns is elegant and elegant, which is unforgettable.

April walked up to the rows of bookshelves and pulled out a book, the cover of which was a little torn, printed with dense English characters, and she could only understand a few simple words, which could be combined, and she didn't know what they meant. Carefully turning the page, what came into view was rows of phonetics marked in English, although she couldn't read it, she could also know that the English writing of this hand was extremely beautiful. She flipped a few pages back, and found that each page would have some English annotations, which showed the seriousness and carefulness of the owner of the book.

She was silent for a moment, carefully placing the book in her hand back into place. Walking along the wooden bookshelf, she picked out a few more books, this time in Chinese, but she was stunned by the special terms in the book, and after a long silence, she gave up reading.

When she was about to go out, she habitually glanced at the bookcase in front of her and found that there was a book there, which was originally covered by some rice paper and office paper, but she didn't find it. In a flicker, she walked back to the desk, removed the paper, and the cover of the book appeared in her field of vision.

It is a collection of Portuguese sonnets by Madame Browning.

April hadn't read it, and curiously took the book of poems in his hand, and when he turned the first page, a piece of paper floated out of the crack in the book. She bent down and picked up the piece of paper, which was somewhat hard, and what caught her eye was a beautiful hand. The pen is free and smart, flowing with clouds and water, and when I look at it in April, I see it written:

I noticed a mysterious black figure moving behind me, grabbing my hair

Pulling back, there was a shout:

"Who caught you this time? Guess! ”

"Die." I replied.

Listen, the silver bell-like echo: "It's not death, it's love!" ”

- Mrs. Browning.

But after all, I don't know, is it death or love that is coming to me?

This paragraph should have been copied, although it was not indicated who wrote it, but April faintly felt that it should have been written by Gu Qingyan. Even after ten years of not seeing him, his unique and beautiful font is still impressive and unforgettable.

It was as if something had struck her heart, disrupting the frequency of her heartbeat. Holding on to the table, she tucked the piece of paper into the book of poems untouched and put it back in place.

When she opened the door, she couldn't help but look back at the poetry book lying quietly, and after a moment, she gently closed the door.

Along the way he came, April left step by step without looking back.

Back in her room, she sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then buried herself under the covers and closed her eyes.

In a groggy state, April felt her body float.

As if she could fly, her body suddenly became very light, very light. She walked through the crowds, stepped through the barriers of time, and saw the streets, buildings, and people she was familiar with.

Ten years ago -

They really started to cross paths at noon that day. Some girls skipped class in the last class in the morning, just to wait for Gu Qingyan to get out of class, so that she could hand him the lunch she made herself.

At that time, she didn't eat breakfast in April morning, and her chest was pressed against her back when she was hungry, and she thought about whether to buy more bread when she went to the commissary. She usually doesn't take this side, first, it is relatively remote, and second, the road is not very easy to walk, but at this time she is so hungry that she is in a hurry to take a shortcut.

Not far away, the chubby girl blushed, holding the lunch in a thermos box in both hands, looking at the boy in front of her with a shy and expectant expression. Gu Qingyan in his youth still had a green look between his eyebrows and eyes, and his delicate face was handsome, he put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the food in the girl's hand very seriously.

When the other party's face was getting redder and redder, he suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you." As he spoke, he pulled out his right hand, which had been in his pocket, and took it gently and skillfully.

April swallowed his saliva without a hint, but he didn't want this scene to be captured by the teenager. I saw that he suddenly turned around and walked directly in front of her. The boy grew very tall, and at this time he lowered his head and she looked up, and in the middle of their eyes, he suddenly stretched out his hand, "Here you go." ”

The sharp turn of the plot made people dumbfounded, April looked at the finger handed over by the teenager, but thought in his heart, how could there be a boy's hand so good-looking. When she came back to her senses, she had already instinctively taken the lunch box he handed over.

"Thank you." April took the food box and thanked him in a low voice. Although she knew in her heart that she shouldn't have taken it, her mind was suddenly blank just now, and she didn't know what she was doing at all. I can't return it now, isn't that a slap in the face on the spot?

April shrunk her shoulders and lowered her head, not looking at the angry gaze of the girl not far away. The boy's soft laughter came from his ears, "You're welcome." April moved her mouth, and was about to say something to him, when she saw the young man turn his steps and pass by her.

The smell of soaphorn on the young man's body had not yet dissipated from the tip of her nose, but her heart was beating fast all at once.

Just now, I almost wanted to say the words that had been buried in my heart, but fortunately there was no impulse, after all, this occasion is not right. Before she could reminisce about anything, the girl on the side rushed to her violently and slapped her loudly.

"What are you?" The girl didn't feel relieved enough and slapped her a few more times. The girls who were hiding in the dark to watch the excitement came over one by one, surrounded her in the middle, you push me and I push, like kicking a ball. April was pushed and kicked by them, and he was already dizzy from hunger, and his stomach was so disgusting that he almost retched.

His cheeks were numb, he should have been swollen, and April thought vaguely, unsteadily, and was pushed to the ground heavily.

Before she could come back to her senses, the fat girl snatched the lunch box in her hand with an arrow step, and then glanced at her very contemptuously, "Lin April, you are really shameless, you have no money to buy food, and you have to grab even the bento sent by others." ”

April held back a burst of colic in her stomach and looked at each other a little vainly, her lips faintly pale because of the pain.

"I didn't rob it, he gave it to me." April looked at each other silently with bright and amazing eyes.

When the fat girl heard this explanation, her face was a little unbearable, how could she admit that the love bento she had worked so hard to prepare was given to others by Gu Qingyan very casually.

Although the girls around saw the scene just now, they still stood firmly on the side of the fat girls.

There is no other reason, this fat girl's father is quite powerful in S City, and even the principal has to give three points to her father.

"Lin April, don't quibble, I obviously saw that you asked Gu Qingyan for it."

"That's it, who doesn't know that your family is poor, and you can only go to school by relying on other people's help, I think you should obediently apologize to Xiaoqing."

"Cut, children without parents are really uneducated."

The female voice named Xiaoqing at the head pursed her lips, glanced at April with disdain, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly squatted in front of April. She touched April's face with the food box in her hand, "That's it, as long as you apologize to me, I'll give you the lunch in my hand, what do you think?" ”

April pursed her lips, her gaze swept over the crowd one by one, taking in their mocking or pitying or sympathetic glances, and then refocused her gaze on the girl in front of her.

Because of the proximity, she could even see the tiny freckles and small beards on the other person's face.

April looked at each other fixedly, as if he wanted to imprint each other's faces in the bottom of his heart.

"I'm talking to you, what do you see, and believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyes?" The fat girl was a little hairy by April's straight eyes, and pushed her shoulders hard.

"I'm not wrong, why apologize."

Words were squeezed out of April's mouth, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

The look in his eyes, as if he was laughing at the failures of others, as if to say, "I know everything, and you are angry with me because of your rejection, just to hide your humility and cowardice." ”

Facing such a gaze, Yuan Xiaoqing suddenly became annoyed, "Don't you want to eat, I'll let you eat enough today." With that, she casually opened the hijab and put the steaming food upside down on April's head.

Suddenly, the food was mixed with soup and poured all over April's head and face, and one by one it was wrapped around the long black hair, red, yellow, white, colorful, and shocking.
