Five years later

When he arrived at Chicago O'Hare Airport, it was 17 o'clock local time, Gu Chen called SAM, SAM was a little surprised by Gu Chen's arrival so quickly, he was already about to get off work, he decided to wait for his arrival at the police station, Gu Chen said thank you, hung up the phone, and reached out to stop a taxi.

Gu Chen was very apprehensive, he tried to do some laying for the upcoming meeting of the two people, but failed, although he had fantasized countless times, but this qiē was shattered by the current situation of Nansheng in SAM's mouth, so he knew that no matter what foreshadowing, there would always be many things beyond his expectations.

It's just that when he stood at the door of the police station, he still couldn't learn to face it with a calm mind, and even his steps were heavy.

Someone from the police station walked out, his gaze stayed on Gu Chen's body for a moment, and then looked back after a while:

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Chen nodded: "I am." ”

SAM happily walked over: "Hello, I am SAM who contacted you. ”

Gu Chen shook hands with him, but he didn't say a word about Nan Sheng, and finally SAM opened his mouth: "Does Mr. Gu want to see Miss Nan?" ”

Gu Chen's hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, and then nodded:

"Okay."

Walking into the police station, SAM was very enthusiastic and chattered a lot, Gu Chen didn't listen much, but there were still one or two sentences that attracted his sense of hearing, for example, SAM mentioned why the matter about Nansheng would contact him:

"Miss Nan is very strange, she kept shouting your name and your phone number, and we also made that call with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to be really you, it seems that Mr. Gu is a very important person to Miss Nan, otherwise she wouldn't remember your phone so clearly when she was delirious."

Gu Chen's footsteps were slow for a moment, he couldn't tell what he felt when he heard SAM say this, he just laughed at himself and asked himself in his heart: Nan Sheng remembers himself so much, does he miss him more, or does he have more hatred?

SAM stopped in front of a detention room, opened the door with the key, and turned to look at Gu Chen: "Miss Nan is inside, because she is not in a good state, we have injected her with a sedative, and she has not woken up yet." ”

Gu Chen frowned slightly, but showed no traces:

"There is labor."

Gu Chen walked in and saw Nan Sheng lying on the small bed at a glance, her clothes were shabby, her hair was dirty, she was wearing only one shoe, her forehead was bandaged with gauze, and the blood showed a small patch of red through the gauze...... Her whole person can be described as miserable, if it weren't for that familiar face even if she was too thin, Gu Chen would not have associated her with the bright and sunny Nan Sheng in her memory anyway.

But as it turned out, she was her.

All the apprehensions before coming seemed to be shattered by the powerful image in front of them, and all that remained was obvious pity and reluctance.

Gu Chen forced himself to retract his gaze, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, turned to look at SAM, and his voice was slightly stiff: "Can I take her away?" ”

SAM nodded:

"Of course, but there is a need to go through some formalities."

"Okay."

By the time the formalities were completed and she returned to the detention room, Nan Sheng had already woken up, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking around with a pair of not very clear eyes, as if she had forgotten why she was here, maybe she heard the sound of the door opening, her eyes slowly looked over, her calm gaze crossed Gu Chen's face, and then looked at SAM, but probably because she didn't know her, she looked at the only small window in the detention room.

It is not difficult to see from her appearance that she has forgotten herself.

SAM was a little embarrassed, worried that Gu Chen would feel that he was lying, and hurriedly explained:

"Mr. Gu, Miss Nan is crazy...... Miss Nan does call your name when she is not normal, but I don't understand why she doesn't know you. ”

Gu Chen didn't care about this small detail, of course, he wouldn't feel that SAM was lying to himself, he would rather believe that Nan Sheng at that moment was just a knee-jerk reaction:

"Can I talk to her alone?"

"Absolutely."

SAM left, he clenched his fists, and walked over, for fear of scaring her, so that the footsteps that fell were very light and light, almost silent, just a few steps, but he felt that he had walked thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive, his heart was stuffy and painful, and there was a feeling of suffocation.

He sat down beside Nan Sheng, stretched out his hand, and found that the palms of his hands were all traces of nails.

There was no light in the room, and the light of dusk shone in through the small window, and everything looked dim, including Nan Sheng's expression, sadness and joy were unknown.

He put away his monstrous love as much as he could, and looked at her with a smile like an old friend who had not experienced a long separation:

"Ah Sheng......"

Nan Sheng's expression loosened for a while, his eyes wandered a little, and then his whole body became stiff, Gu Chen noticed it, and an uneasiness rose in his heart, but Nan Sheng laughed at this time, that faint, quiet smile was very familiar to Gu Chen, how many midnight dreams, he barely fell asleep by relying on this smile in his memory.

Nan Sheng's hand quietly climbed up his warm cheek, and looked at him with a little surprise: "Did you come to see me in your dream again?" ”

Gu Chen's heart tightened, and his eyes were jerky......

On this trip to Chicago, Zou Yu accompanied him, and did not alarm the senior management of the company here, after all, it was a private matter, he chose a hotel to check in, and when he arrived at the police station, it was only a little more than 8 o'clock, carrying a handbag in his hand, which was the clothes and shoes that Gu Chen told him to buy on the phone.

Gu Chen was squatting on the steps at the door of the police station, hanging his head and smoking, seeing such Gu Chen, Zou Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the one who was strategizing in the mall and killing decisively couldn't help himself in confusion at this moment.

He didn't know how to speak, so he could only put the footsteps heavier, Gu Chen slowly raised his head and glanced at him after hearing this, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, extinguished it with his foot, and when he turned around, he probably felt that something was wrong, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, walked to the side of the trash can and threw it in:

"Let's go."

When Nan Sheng saw Gu Chen, who had gone and returned, standing in front of her so really, an unbelievable expression appeared on her face, as if at this moment she really realized that what appeared in front of her just now was not an illusion, but a real him.

This realization made her panic instantly, but it didn't last long, when Gu Chen sat down next to her, her heart miraculously calmed down, even calmer than any moment in the past five years.

Zou Yu didn't get too close, standing silently at the door, he looked at Nan Sheng who was sitting there in shock, as if he didn't have zài, but it was difficult to equate it with her in his memory, what did she go through, how could she be like this now?

His heart was filled with countless questions, but he chose to remain silent and did not linger, and after handing over the handbag in his hand to Gu Chen, he left and went to wait outside the police station.

There are only two people left in time and space, two people who loved each other in the past but have been separated for three years.

The air condensed, and the unknown love pricked Gu Chen's nerves, but he chose to seal the surging in his heart with calm.

Nan Sheng smiled and looked at Gu Chen, the smile spread from the corner of his mouth to the corner of his eyes, quiet and peaceful.

Gu Chen also smiled and looked at Nan Sheng, like a warm winter sun, as warm as ever.

She and his smile, only she knows best, how far-fetched it is. Now, no matter how relieved they pretended, they couldn't fill the blank five years between each other, he had changed, she had changed, he felt sorry for her wolf, and she rejoiced in his success.

Time passes, flowers bloom, and people who thought they would never appear in their lives again, no matter how long it takes, they can still sting the softest inch in their hearts so lightly.

Gu Chen sat beside her, too close, close enough to hear each other's heartbeats, and could smell the bad smells on her body, he didn't reject it, nor did he feel unpleasant, he didn't know when he started, he had already habitually accepted her things, no matter whether they were good or bad.

Before speaking, Gu Chen glanced at Nan Sheng's dirty feet, then got up, and slowly squatted down in front of her, Nan Sheng seemed to realize what he wanted to do, and wanted to take it back, but he was already holding it in his palm, that temperature was familiar to her, and it was also what she thought about for a long time.

"Dirty ......," she reminded him timidly.

Gu Chen held it tighter, raised his eyes to look at Nan Sheng, smiled softly, and said softly: "Do you remember who I am?" ”

Nan Sheng smiled lightly:

"Gu Chen."

Because of these two words, the smile on Gu Chen's face could hardly be maintained, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "I thought that I would never hear you call my name in my life." ”

"I thought it was ...... I'll never see you again. ”

"Miss me?"

When he said this, Gu Chen's heart was a little apprehensive, holding her slightly cool feet, tilting his head, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and looking at her with burning eyes.

Seeing Gu Chen like this, Nan Sheng really smiled this time, stretched out her right hand, probably wanting to touch his face, but stopped abruptly when she was about to get closer, she saw the stains on her hands, and the nails that had not been cut for a long time...... She smiled awkwardly and wanted to take it back, but Gu Chen held it and covered her face.

Nan Sheng wanted to withdraw, but he couldn't resist his strength, so he could only remind him in a whisper:

"Will stain your face......"

Gu Chen's heart was jerky, but he showed no traces, he persistently put her hand to his mouth and kissed it, then covered his face again, looked at her and smiled:

"How so?"

Nan Sheng smiled a little stiffly and did not speak.
