Let's be in this together.

April looked at him in a daze, and the man in front of him and the boy in his memory gradually overlapped. He has faded from his youth, his face is deep and handsome, and his eyes are determined and profound.

She never imagined that one day, he would stare at her with such a gaze.

All the while, she was used to standing behind him, and she didn't think about making a change. She couldn't tell the other party's true intention of saying this, together, in what capacity were they together?

She lowered her eyes, "Aren't we already together now?" ”

Gu Qingyan knew that her brain circuit was different from his, and it was rare to be patient and persuasive: "It's different, I mean, we-" He paused and lowered his voice: "We will get married in the future, and then become husband and wife together." ”

When he said this, he only felt that his ears were burning, the heat was slowly steaming, and his cheeks began to burn.

It was the first time in his life that he had said such a thing, and his heart was like a small boat swinging, undulating with the waves, and it had not been implemented for a long time.

Nervous and nervous, he waited for April to give her an answer, but the woman across from her was still with her eyes down, her expression blank, and her face did not have the shyness and joy he had imagined.

As if expecting something, Gu Qingyan's face gradually turned white, and a slight fluctuation flashed in his eyes, but finally fell silent again.

He just waited.

Then he waited for the same rejection as he expected.

"I'm sorry."

April finally raised her head and looked at him calmly.

Gu Qingyan only felt that his heart sank heavily to the bottom of the lake, and he didn't see the light of day. Why refuse, she is an old woman who is about to be thirty years old, and she still has a criminal record, who else will want her besides him? With him, she doesn't need to go out early and return late to set up a stall, she can live a life where she has a shirt to reach out for food and open her mouth, so she still refuses him without hesitation?

Lin April is really a stupid and hopelessly stupid woman.

The man only felt that his eyes were sour, he blinked vigorously, and his voice was a little incoherent: "Lin April, are you stupid, as long as you are with me, I can protect you and prevent others from bullying you and despising you." It's hard for you to find a job, I can arrange a job for you

I can support you if you don't want to work. ”

He choked up and almost muttered, "I'll be nice to you." ”

April didn't know why he was telling her this, she could support herself, and she had never thought about living a life of fine clothes and food. Without Qi Yu, without Li Yu, she didn't think about giving up on herself, if it weren't for that promise, she would have started again in Z City.

She shook her head at him, almost sighing, and said, "You don't have to be nice to me, if you want to find someone to marry, I think many people are more suitable than me." ”

"Lin April!"

Gu Qingyan called her name by name, and in April's slightly stunned look, he grabbed the corner of the table tightly with his left hand, and it took a lot of effort to restrain his feelings.

He said: "Qi Yu can, Li Yu can, why can't I?" ”

Qi Yu said that she wanted to be together, she agreed, Li Yu confessed to her, and she also agreed, why can't he?

April understood this, but he didn't understand why he was comparing himself to Qi Yu and Li Yu.

Qi Yu and Li Yu are people she can touch, but he is the untouchable moon in the sky. Although the moon was beautiful, she just wanted to look at it from afar, and never thought of plucking it. What's more, Gu Qingyan has always hated her, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to be with her, which was too incredible.

April didn't speak, Gu Qingyan waited for a moment and didn't get an answer from her, and the stars in her eyes disappeared little by little.

He stood up with a blank face and walked over to April's side, and from his vantage point he could see her two rows of eyelashes, the occasional twitch of the eyelashes, indicating that the owner was not as calm as she appeared.

He didn't want to dwell on it any longer, there had to be a result between them today.

"April."

"Hmm." The woman whispered.

Gu Qingyan stared at her hair and asked, "Why did you push Shen Yanjin downstairs in the first place?" ”

“……”

"Are you doing it for me?"

"......" April pursed his lips.

The man reached out against her chin, forcing her face to lift. In the field of vision, that face is still ordinary and can't be found in the crowd. Because she had no expression, the corners of her mouth turned downward, looking a little indifferent.

Gu Qingyan's fingertips slowly moved up, fell to the corners of her mouth, and stopped.

There was a slight chill on his fingertips, and April was a little unclear, and the next moment, the man picked up the corners of her mouth with his index finger, forcing the muscles at the corners of her mouth to lift up.

It wasn't until the corners of both of her mouths rose that he exhaled, his eyes sparkling with a warm smile, "April, did you do that because you like me?" ”

In the first half of the sentence, he asked her many times, but she never denied it.

But he was still stubborn in his desire to get the answer he wanted from her mouth.

April looked at her, and looked through him back to a long, long time ago, when they were young, when they still had infinite hopes for the future.

He certainly doesn't remember anymore.

"yes, I like you." April's eyes were filled with a look of remembrance.

Gu Qingyan seemed to be able to see a long river of time in her eyes, and it was gentle in an instant.

There was a faint joy in his heart, but he still had to confirm again, "That'...... Do you love me? ”

April came back to her senses and stared at him for a long time, and as the tension in his heart stacked to a peak, her clear, slow answer came to his ears.

"I don't love you."

Sure enough, it was the answer again, she liked him, but she didn't love him.

The man blinked quickly, pressing all the emotions in his eyes to the depths of his heart.

The woman paused, and her voice was almost inaudible: "You are so good, there will be many people who love you, my love...... I'll just leave it to myself. ”

This sentence fell into Gu Qingyan's ears, and he almost laughed angrily. He suddenly reached out and grabbed April's shoulder, and his dark eyes shot bright fireworks at that moment, "Then do you love Qi Yu, do you love Li Yu?" ”

April didn't know why he was asking this, and looked at him with a slight frown.

Without waiting for her to answer, the man threw out the next question: "Do you not love them either?" ”

April opened his mouth, and just as he wanted to speak, the man nodded to himself again: "I understand." ”

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and she wanted to ask him what he understood, but his feelings were like the unpredictable wind, and she was worried that she would make him unhappy by saying the wrong thing, so she simply didn't say anything.

Why did Gu Qingyan's mood suddenly improve, because he found that April's brain circuit was very different from ordinary people, and her likes were very separate from love.

In other words, she can't tell what love is and what likes.

It doesn't matter, he can teach her slowly, although he is half a pound and eight taels with her.

***

In the evening, Gu Qingyan climbed into April's bed again.

He reached out and poked April's arm and asked in a low voice, "April, did you sleep?" ”

The movement of the cabinet being opened was so loud that it was strange that April could fall asleep, she shook her head, and her voice was muffled: "No." ”

Although she has a good temper, she is still a little depressed every time she is woken up.

Gu Qingyan didn't notice it, her eyes shone in the dark, "April, you like me, right?" ”

“…… Well. ”

"You also like Li Yu and Qi Yu, right?" At the mention of this, his tone was a little sour.

Although April didn't understand what he was doing with this, he still honestly said "um".

The man's heart was blocked, and he was silent for a few seconds before he said: "Then Qi Yu, Li Yu and me, who do you like more?" ”

This, April blinked hesitantly, and then lowered her eyes and thought seriously.

She didn't think about it for long, but Gu Qingyan's face slowly darkened.

Is this a difficult question, and does it still need to be considered?

April didn't notice his unhappiness, a question she hadn't thought about before. In the two years that she and Qi Yu depended on each other, they relied on each other, and Li Yu's gentleness and stability made her feel at ease, as for Gu Qingyan, he had always been far away from her.

"I like to meet." Because she and Qi Yu are more like family, such a relationship can last for a long time.

didn't get the expected answer, Gu Qingyan was stunned for a long time. April waited for a while, but didn't hear a sound, just as sleepiness hit, and her eyelids drooped heavily.

The man turned his head and looked at the sleeping woman with closed eyes with a complicated expression.

He wanted to ask her why she was Qi Yu, but when his eyes fell on her slightly tired and tired face, his heart suddenly suffocated.

The moonlight sprinkled on her face like water, and the thin lines at the corners of her eyes snaked into a long thin line that penetrated into his heart along his fingers.

After a long period of hard work and neglect of maintenance, she looked much older than him.

Over the years, his business has been doing a lot, but April seems to have remained unchanged in his heart, and it has always been what he remembers. He has been trying to forget the ten years that have passed, pretending that he and April have never been separated, but the traces of the passage of time

It is clearly and distinctly engraved on April's face.

When she came to him covered in wind and rain and handed him an umbrella, the seeds of love had been planted.

There are many kinds of love happening, and when she pushed herself into hell with her own hands for him, her figure was firmly engraved on his heart. No one had ever been able to give him such a punch, she was silent and reserved, but equally determined and crazy.

Over the years, April has appeared in his dreams again and again, each time more and more profound. He remembered the bits and pieces of how they got along, he knew that she would habitually bite the tip of her pen when she did exercises that she couldn't solve, she would unconsciously clasp her palms when she was nervous, and rainbows would appear in her eyes when she smiled.

He watched April get out of prison and Qi Yu slowly come together, and he thought he could be a bystander.

But in the end, it still can't.

Every time the alignment met a good point in April, there was an extra thorn in his heart, and when his heart was densely pierced by thorns, he finally couldn't help but make a move.

He wanted to see if April could do that for Qi Yu.

When she came back to her senses, there was an even and slow breathing sound beside her, and the woman was sleeping deeply. He reached out and slipped quietly into the hem of her pajamas, where there was a raised scar—the price paid to save Qi Yu.

What is your favorite thing about Qi Yu?

It doesn't matter, it's enough that I like you.
