Lin Shu'an almost forgot when he first saw her, that stubborn and weak, proud and inferior girl, at least not in the Lin family. Because at that time, Gong Baorou and Zhao Xiuxiu were still dependent on each other and lived on the streets of Haicheng, and the only remaining pride and self-esteem did not allow Zhao Xiuxiu to ask for help from her friends, and the mother and daughter lived in the cheapest and dirtiest hotel, and they were terrified every day.

It was that day, an extremely ordinary and ordinary day, Lin Shuping walked in the park according to his habit, and the second book of NCE was played in the headphones, which was not very difficult for him now, so he could still share his snacks. Just as his gaze wandered, an interesting scene occurred.

A girl in ragged clothes stares at passers-by who are asleep leaning on a bench. Lin Shuping thought she wanted to steal money at first, so she stopped, but she didn't expect that her hand was actually going towards the bag next to the passerby. In that bag, there were a few steamed buns.

Maybe she's just hungry and there's no need to make a big deal out of it. Lin Shuping was rarely moved by compassion.

It's just that the hand stretched halfway up, suddenly retracted, clenched into a fist, and trembled. The girl's face was filled with deep self-loathing, and she covered her face and flew away, as if the next moment, she would regret wanting to reach out again.

Lin Shuping touched his pocket, a little regretful. He should have given her a little food just now, and although he had no mercy for the beggars, he would not be stingy with such people who really needed help.

Later, he went to the park every day and never met her. Later, his mother led her to her.

"This is my friend's daughter, Gong Baorou. Arou, this is your future brother, his name is Lin Shuping, you can call him Brother Shuping. Liu Yingai said lovingly.

It turned out that her name was Gong Baorou, a somewhat strange, but cute name.

Lin Shuping thought so, and his gaze softened slightly.

It's just that Gong Baorou obviously didn't feel his rare gentleness, but quickly raised her head and glanced at it, then lowered her head again and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Shuping." ”

With a soft voice and a glutinous nasal voice, Lin Shuping felt his heart tremble slightly.

Looks like it's not bad to have a younger sister.

It's just that when did this relationship start to deteriorate slowly? Is it a long-term love, or is it pure pity?

Gong Baorou has a sensitive and delicate heart that is easily injured, so it is not easy to open. She has a proud heart, but she has low self-esteem and is under her own fence. Lin Shuping knew that he was stupid and not good at words, so he kept wandering outside the door and couldn't enter, wanting to knock on the door, worried that he wouldn't be able to speak, and he was surprised by the beauty. So he kept procrastinating and procrastinating, and he even thought that when she was eighteen years old, he would go and show his heart.

However, there is really not everything in the world that can fulfill our wishes.

Lin Shuping didn't even react, as soon as the dust settled, Gong Baorou's family quickly moved out and found a place to stay, and Liu Yingai also angrily told Lin Shuping that he was not allowed to associate with the mother and daughter. Lin Shuping was silent, on the one hand, his dearest family, and on the other hand, the girl he liked silently, how should he choose? Despite his excellent academic performance and strong leadership skills, he is still not yet a beginner when it comes to this kind of affection.

Maybe time will slowly erase this heartbeat. Lin Shuping was determined to forget about jì. He once saw Gong Baorou holding a young man on the side of the road, looking happy, and the man also cared for her, and the two behaved intimately. That's probably the best ending, he thought.

It's just that time has gradually changed everyone.

Liu Yingai began to regret it, she was originally a soft-hearted person, and it was just a momentary angry talk at the beginning, people are forgetful, so she only remembered that she was not hurt much, and even in a certain aspect she was pitiful to Zhao Xiuxiu, she remembered the happy time she had with Zhao Xiuxiu when she was a teenager, there was no suspicion or concern, and the friendship was sincere. She began to pay frequent attention to Zhao Xiuxu and Gong Baorou.

Gong Baorou gradually made a name for herself in Haicheng, and partnered with that man Sun Daoliang to open a Weiji Hotel, first sniping at the Haicheng Hotel with the Haicheng Hotel, and later squeezing out the Haicheng Hotel, occupying a place in Haicheng and taking root in Haicheng, and his reputation was shocking. Lin Shuping has had dinner here several times with business partners or some bureau chief, and Gong Baorou will cook it herself. Tasting the carefully prepared delicacies, Lin Shuping thought it was for him at first, but later learned that the entire Weiji restaurant was the back kitchen supported by Gong Baorou alone, and such an emerging restaurant could not recruit a chef at all. While Lin Shuping was proud, he felt a little distressed in his heart. After so many years, he still can't forget her.

Therefore, after hearing that Gong Baorou was kicked out of the Weiji Hotel, Lin Shuping was furious.

These people, why are they? Lin Shuping clenched his fist and slammed the table hard. This anger reached its peak after hearing the news that it was because the man had changed his mind and drove Gong Baorou away for another woman, and then Lin Shuping calmed down.

People who have eyes without beads will never know what kind of treasure they have lost. He waited and watched as the Taste Pole Hotel fell.

Gong Baorou, who was driven away, was penniless, and it happened that Zhao Xiuxiu was seriously ill again, looking at Gong Baorou, who was losing weight day by day, Lin Shuping's heart was sour. Liu Yingai knew about it, and she couldn't stop crying.

"It's all iniquity." Liu Yingai was so regretful that she beat her chest, and hurriedly asked Lin Shuping to pick up the mother and daughter who were almost at the end of their rope. And Lin Shuping, who had a legitimate reason, could hardly suppress the joy in his heart.

Standing outside the ward, Lin Shuping conceived thousands of ways to speak, but after seeing Gong Baorou's indifferent eyes, he couldn't spit out a word.

"I'll pick you up." Hidden beneath the flat voice was a nervous tremor.

Gong Baorou smiled miserably: "No need, thank you." ”

"Aunt Zhao still needs to be treated." After saying that, Lin Shuping couldn't wait to start over, this sentence was simply a threat.

"I still have savings to support." Gong Baorou turned her head and didn't want to look at him again. Lin Shuping was so embarrassed that he could only cover it up with a calmer appearance.

The two parted unhappily, Lin Shuping went back at a loss, and then threw himself into busy work to exhaust himself, maybe he wouldn't think of her and think of going to her.

Waiting until nearly a month passed, Lin Shuping thought that maybe the two of them had really calmed down, so he wanted to go to Gong Baorou, but at this time he knew that Zhao Xiuxiu had passed away, and Gong Baorou didn't know where to go by train.

A feeling of regret to the point of heartache made Lin Shuping almost unable to stand. He's a coward, a coward through and through! He didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood Gong Baorou had when she left the city, what else did this city bring to her besides pain? And what did he bring her?!

Searching day and night, several times he felt close to her. There was even a time when he heard from a subordinate that he had seen her somewhere, and by the time he arrived in a hurry, there was only an empty house left.

The Lin family gradually gave up, Liu Yingai and Lin Zhishen had already retired, Lin Shu'an had also grown up, and the family began to care about Lin Shuping's lifelong events. One by one, girls appeared in front of him, either coquettish, cute, gentle, or lively. But Lin Shuping didn't pay attention to any of this.

It's not her, none of these girls are her.

Lin Shuping felt that he might have fallen into a demon. But it doesn't matter, he can still find her slowly. Lin Shuping has always believed so firmly that he will find his girl one day. Such a thought was deeply rooted in his heart, so when he was □□, he brought out a large piece of flesh, and the whole heart became bloody and empty.

How could she possibly die? He hadn't told her what he wanted, he hadn't said a word of "I love you" in person. All kinds of regrets and pains, as well as the remorse that filled his heart day by day, made Lin Shuping almost faint at Gong Baorou's funeral.

In my ears was the sound of my mother's painful cry, as well as Lin Shu'an's low sob. Lin Shuping stood up straight, with only indifference on his face.

After the funeral, Lin Shuping didn't seem to be affected, and the people who were sent out to find Gong Baorou in the past were also called back, working normally during the day and going to bed normally at night. However, only he knew that he tossed and turned night and night, and could not sleep.

Although Sun Daoliang has a lot of means in terms of management, a restaurant ultimately relies on the chefs. Without Gong Baorou's support, the Weiji Hotel finally fell after struggling for a long time, you know, when Sun Daoliang was rising, he offended almost all the hotels in Haicheng.

Lin Shuping heard that Sun Daoliang began to go to Gong Baorou's tombstone to pay tribute to her, and cried sadly. When his subordinates asked if he wanted to get rid of Sun Daoliang, Lin Shuping sneered and said, "Don't worry about him, this is what he should have done a long time ago." ”

Even he was occasionally jealous of Sun Daoliang in his heart, at least he once had her.

On the way home from work, I drove very slowly because of traffic jams. Lin Shuping knocked down the window and closed his eyes. A nearby audio shop began to play the next song, and a mournful melody floated over. Lin Shuping opened his eyes and heard the lyrics sing:

After seeing how many discreteness, I gradually relieved myself from my memories that if I could be brave at that time.

After going through many harbors, I gradually realized that your uneasiness is my natural dependence.

I will be braver, face your departure, turn sadness into anticipation, and hope that you can also choose to be brave.

Lin Shuping closed the window, and the moment he turned his head, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb.

The dead are gone, leaving the living to mourn.

Lin Shuping thought bitterly that if there was a next life, he would definitely hold on to what he longed for the most and never let go.

Arou, please wait for me.
