Part42

Gu Mingcheng and Xia Zhiyao went to the cemetery together.

Gu Mingcheng put the iris in his hand in front of the tombstone, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the girl on the tombstone was smiling brightly and sweetly, and everything about her seemed to be fixed on that photo.

Butterflies flew over, flapping left and right on Xia Zhiyao's shoulders. She lifted her fingertips and gently probed, and the butterfly fluttered its wings as if frightened and flew off into the distance.

"Ye Nian, are you doing in that world?" Although that incident was not Xia Yi's original intention, he couldn't delay it. Xia Zhiyao looked at the bright smile in the photo on the tombstone, and his heart was tingling. Ye Nian is just like her, falling in love with someone.

Gu Mingcheng's gaze locked on the tombstone for a moment, and then moved to Xia Zhiyao beside him. The girl lying in the cemetery he had been reading for five years, and he had felt guilty for five years. It wasn't until today that he was finally sure that Ye Nian had really left the bottom of his heart. At this moment, there is only one person's name engraved in his heart, and that is Xia Zhiyao. Even if the two never have a chance to renew their relationship, he believes that there will never be a second woman in his heart in this life. "Let's go."

Xia Zhiyao nodded.

Out of the cemetery, Gu Mingcheng drove the car, and Xia Zhiyao, who was in the co-pilot, propped his elbows on the window edge, looking at the distant scenery.

"What do you want to eat?" Gu Mingcheng turned his head and glanced at Xia Zhiyao.

"Not hungry."

"I didn't have breakfast, I didn't eat lunch, I have a face to fill my stomach, okay?" Gu Mingcheng's voice was aggrieved.

Xia Zhiyao turned his face and glanced at him, he had been busy after the operation, and his rest was not good, coupled with his depression, his face had not been very good. Xia Zhiyao pursed his lips and nodded.

Gu Mingcheng curled his lips and smiled.

But Xia Zhiyao didn't expect him to take her to the Bay Resort to eat seafood.

The barbecue grill set up on the beach, the sea breeze blowing slowly, with a bit of salty smell, the two sat on a wooden chair on the beach, with a small wooden table in between. The waiter quickly brought grilled scallops, conch, oysters, cuttlefish, prawns, several plates of food, and a large handful of watermelon juice.

Xia Zhiyao looked at the table full of food, a little dumbfounded. "What a waste!"

Gu Mingcheng took a scallop and smiled. "I have a good appetite, I can finish eating!"

Food for five people, Xia Zhiyao shook his head, he just fled back from Africa?

As if seeing her thoughts, Gu Mingcheng laughed while eating. "You're not here, you haven't had much appetite lately."

Xia Zhiyao's nose was sour, she picked up a prawn and put it on his plate, she withdrew the chopstick, lowered her eyes, and her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly. She took a breath, "You'll have to get used to it later." ”

Gu Mingcheng knew that she was telling him that he would get used to life without her in the future. Why are scallops so bitter in your mouth? He didn't sigh, afraid that she would be more worried, so he smiled hard, half joking and half serious: "Then I'll take a photo of you and store it in my mobile phone, sandwich it in my wallet, frame it in the middle of the living room, and hold it when I don't have an appetite." ”

Xia Zhiyao pretended not to hear the helplessness and sourness in his tone, and also raised his eyebrows and smiled, and followed his words. "Am I charging copyright fees for embezzling portrait rights?"

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"Anyway, I have to count this!" Xia Zhiyao stretched out his finger and gestured in mid-air.

"Miss Xia, you see that I have to support thousands of employees under my hands, the funds are too tight, can we give a discount for my sake of being so desperate for you?" Gu Mingcheng cried to her.

"That's not good, my brother still has to settle accounts! Don't give a ticket, don't take a picture! Her smile was unusually bright, her voice was light, and her fingers fluttered happily in the air.

Gu Mingcheng's inky dark eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see this gentleness again in the future. His heart moved, and suddenly he raised his hand to grab her flying fingers and held them in the palm of his hand.

In an instant, Xia Zhiyao's smile suddenly stopped there, the corners of his mouth were still curved upward, but his expression was a little stiff.

There was a hot heat from his palm, and her heart tightened. The light smile on the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared, leaving only a trace of helplessness, trying to ignore the expectation and loneliness in his eyes, brushing his hand away, and twisting a string of squid. "Eat!"

Gu Mingcheng retracted his hand that was paused in mid-air, but he no longer insisted on it.

The barbecue lasted two hours.

When the two of them got up, Xia Zhiyao actually breathed a long sigh of relief. I thought I could leave just like that, but Gu Mingcheng stopped her with a dead face, and took her to the hotel. She naturally refused, Gu Mingcheng sighed. "The last goodbye, can you give face?"

Xia Zhiyao looked at him seriously for two seconds and compromised.

The two of them went to room 909 again.

There are memories shared by the two of them in this room.

Maybe there was beauty, but more often than not, it was pain.

Outside the window, the night was low, Xia Zhiyao stood in the middle of the bedroom with the strap of his handbag in his fingers, Gu Mingcheng moved the bedside table, squatted on the □, and took out the Swiss Army knife he carried with him to carve a painting on the wall.

In the silent space, there was the sound of a breeze blowing in her ears, and the sound of Gu Mingcheng's knife carving on the wall seemed to have scratched her skin, one wound after another, and the fresh blood in her body seemed to overflow.

After the last, Gu Mingcheng exhaled when he got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He closed his saber and turned to look at Xia Zhiyao, tugging at the corners of his lips. "Far away, the penultimate memory is gone."

Xia Zhiyao lowered her eyes and looked at the wall that he had scratched in a mess, the original words had already been covered, and her fingers clutching the handbag strap became tighter and tighter. "And what's the last one?" She stared at the saber in his hand, but Gu Mingcheng raised his hand, "This is unique to me, and no one can snatch it away." ”

Xia Zhiyao couldn't help laughing. "How do you act like a child?"

Gu Mingcheng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Accompany me to another place? The last one, okay? ”

The last goodbye.

Stop under that ginkgo tree.

Xia Zhiyao's breathing was tight, and she looked at him with some incredulity, she swallowed her throat and could barely make a sound. "You...... How do you know the truth? ”

"I won't tell you." Gu Mingcheng smiled, squatted on the □ and turned over a few pieces of soil under the ginkgo tree, took a square box out, blew the dust on the lid of the box, and opened the lock.

When the lid of the box was opened, Xia Zhiyao seemed to see those dusty memories surging again. That's proof that she had a love affair with him.

Gu Mingcheng looked at the whole box of post-it notes, large and small, pink and green, but the handwriting on each piece of paper was from her. He crouched there, looking at the whole box of notes in the faint light, his fingers rubbing the edge of the box, but he never had the courage to look through it again. He knew that if he saw her sincerity again, he would be reluctant, reluctant to let her go. He was afraid that his madness and reluctance would bring her devastating damage again. So, that's the end of it. Let her and Xiaoqiu go to the second half of their happy lives, and everything they have ever had will be left to him to remember, and he will spend a lifetime to remember.

The lighter glowed with a faint blue flame, and the small flame swayed in the wind. The hand he was holding the lighter slowly approached the wooden box, and Xia Zhiyao only hesitated for a second before rushing forward to grab his hand to stop his movements.

The two were at a stalemate, her hands trembled slightly, her eyes looked at Gu Mingcheng, and then moved to the box of colorful post-it notes. She seemed to recall the time when she wrote those sentences in the middle of the night.

Gu Mingcheng looked at her, and the imperceptible feelings in his deep eyes were deliberately suppressed by him. He bent his lips, took away her stiff hand, placed the box on the ground, lit a post-it note and threw it back into the box, pulled her to her feet and took two steps back, then let go of her and put her hands back in his trouser pockets.

The burnt smell hit the tip of his nose, and Gu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Xia Zhiyao, the last memory is gone. From today onwards, there will be no more connections between Gu Mingcheng and Xia Zhiyao. I wish you happiness. ”

The light of the fire reflected in her crystalline pupils, and two small flames seemed to burn everything to ashes.

At the end of the day, she didn't know what to say, she just tilted her head to look at him. He was still smiling, smiling so beautifully, it was like the moon in the sky had lifted the dark clouds, and everything was bright and bright.

She blinked, raised her hand and rubbed her nose. What else is pretentious? She also smiled, the fire in her eyes shining with tears, "Xie Lu Xie." I wish you happiness too. ”

"Let's go." Gu Mingcheng had already stepped in front of her, his broad back fell on her sight, and every step was resolute. He would not tell her that his future happiness was the touching love she had given him without reservation.

In recent days, Yi Xu felt that Xia Zhiyao's mood seemed to be very good, the corners of his lips were crooked every day, and his walking pace seemed to be brisk. However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but if he really asked him to say one, two, three, four, he didn't know how to speak.

Chu Tianheng felt that he was a mediocre person disturbing himself. "When people are depressed, you feel that you are taking advantage of others, and when people are emotional, you feel that they are out of place. I said, do you really intend to live with your right hand for the rest of your life? Chu Tianheng threw the wine glass on the table.

Yi Xu didn't drink, took a glass of ice water, and glanced at him lightly. "Are you afraid that others won't know your Chu Tianheng's breed ~ horse attributes?"

Chu Tianheng shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively. "Please don't confuse fraternity with indiscriminate ~ love."

Yi Xu smiled lightly. "I know, you're just indiscriminate~ love."

Chu Tianheng felt that he was playing the piano to the cow, and patted his head helplessly.

Xiaoqiu recuperated at home after being discharged from the hospital, and she always pestered Xia Zhiyao, so Xia Zhiyao spent most of her time at Yi's house. Yi Xu rarely experienced the feeling of having a woman prepare dinner and wait for him to return after returning home, even if this woman was not his wife yet, but just so, his heart was warm enough.

Xia Zhiyao's cooking skills are not good, he can barely eat, Xiaoqiu sometimes complains a few words, but Yi Xu eats very happily.

On this day, Xiaoqiu sat at the dining table with his arms folded around his chest and big black eyes, complaining about Yi Xu, who was concentrating on "enjoying" food. "Dad, you have ignored me for a week since I was discharged from the hospital, and I protest!"

Xia Zhiyao choked on a mouthful of soup, coughed a few times, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue handed over by Yi Xu, and looked at Xiaoqiu with a very dissatisfied expression in surprise.

Yi Xu put down the chopsticks elegantly, clasped his hands and put them on the table leisurely, obviously protesting against Xiaoqiu...... Disagree.

Xiaoqiu pursed her lips angrily, she waited for Yi Xu to take the initiative to ask for details and admit her mistakes, and her wishful thinking was broken in Yi Xu's silence, and she sighed aggrieved and depressed. "Daddy...... I want to eat what you cook......"

Hearing this, Yi Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes swept over the four dishes and one soup on the table. "Don't waste your mother's hard work."

Xiaoqiu was even more depressed, jumped off the stool with a wrinkled little face, came to Yi Xu's side, hugged his waist and coquettishly, completely ignoring Xia Zhiyao, who was very aggrieved after being disgusted by the twitching corners of his mouth. "Dad...... Look at how hungry I've been losing weight these days......"

Yi Xu showed a very puzzled expression. "You've been picky lately again? Xiaoqiu, this is not a good habit. ”

Xiaoqiu can see that in her father's eyes, Haruka's mother will enjoy it as a delicious dish even if she serves a plate of burnt black and blind dishes!

Her accusation failed, and she climbed onto the stool in a gloomy manner, holding her own small fork and spoon, closing her eyes and pulling rice porridge with her head down.

After eating, Yi Xu went to the kitchen to wash and wash.

Xia Zhiyao leaned against the kitchen door a little embarrassed, and she scratched the back of her head. "Otherwise, I'd better let the nanny and aunt make dinner, right?"

Yi Xu carefully washed the porcelain dishes and bowls. "I love eating what you cook."

Xia Zhiyao was stunned for a second, and then said, "But Xiaoqiu, she ......."

Yi Xu didn't look back, and his voice came faintly, as if with a faint smile. "It's okay, she'll get used to it."

Xiaoqiu's little pot friend completely declared a failure.

In Yi Xu's eyes, there are people who are "beautiful and delicious".

Hu Ziyu appeared the next day.

Xia Zhiyao opened the door and didn't react to stop her, Hu Ziyu had already entered the door. Xiaoqiu, who was eating strawberries and watching cartoons on the sofa, blinked and turned her head to look at Hu Ziyu who walked in from the door with big eyes, and suddenly threw things on the coffee table, jumped down from the sofa and rushed to Xia Zhiyao's side, spreading two small arms in front of her. "Mother Haruka, I protect you!"

Hu Ziyu was hit hard by her foot and almost crashed, and when she glanced at the little girl, she didn't feel angry at all. This little life has Gu Mingcheng's blood flowing in it, that is, the blood of the Gu family. The DNA test reports are all out, and there will be absolutely no problems.

Hu Ziyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhiyao. Xia Zhiyao closed the door and turned his head to look at Hu Ziyu, and suddenly felt scared when he saw Hu Ziyu's confident appearance.

She looked through the DNA test report handed to her by Hu Ziyu and understood what she meant by coming today. She endured and endured, endured for so long, but there was only one thing she wouldn't endure, and that was Xiaoqiu. She could never give anyone a chance to hurt her daughter. And the Gu family bore the brunt.

Xia Zhiyao settled down, secretly told himself not to panic, squatted on the □ pinched Xiaoqiu's little face, and smiled gently. "Xiaoqiu, mom wants to talk to this grandma about something, can you go back to your bedroom to play first?"

Xiaoqiu hesitated and hesitated, she always felt that this grandmother was a little fierce, and she was afraid that she would bully Xia Zhiyao. But Xia Zhiyao insisted, and even carried her into the bedroom, it was useless for her to resist, so she had to stay in her room obediently, eating strawberries while worrying.

Xia Zhiyao touched her heart, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed Gu Mingcheng, she hung up the phone after saying a word, and then went back to the living room.

There were only two women left in the living room.

Hu Ziyu moved her gaze from the closed bedroom door to Xia Zhiyao, I have to say that this woman's resilience is beyond her imagination, and she will really give birth to Gu Mingcheng's child. After she got the DNA test report, she stayed at home for a week, and after careful consideration, she came to Yi Xu's house. Therefore, when facing Xia Zhiyao and Xiaoqiu, Hu Ziyu did not hesitate, and directly explained his intentions. "This kid must come home with me."

Xia Zhiyao felt that Hu Ziyu was really unreasonable sometimes. At the beginning, Hu Ziyu thought that she was pregnant, and even put forward the idea of accepting her to marry into the Gu family, but after she pretended that the child had been miscarried, she tried her best to prevent her from interacting with Gu Mingcheng, and even did not hesitate to ridicule and ridicule, but now she came to ask for Xiaoqiu's custody. She can endure anything, but she can't bear it only in Xiaoqiu. She believes that when Xiaoqiu returns to the Gu family, she will definitely face more harm than good. Hu Ziyu has been repeated, can she really spoil Xiaoqiu like a pearl? Xia Zhiyao shook her head, she didn't believe it.

All she could do was to drag Hu Ziyu as much as possible before Gu Mingcheng arrived, lest she get excited and say something drastic or do anything drastic.

The author has something to say: sure enough, if you don't ask for flowers once, they will disappear.

The power is insufficient, and the pair is even more powerless...... Got up and went to sleep,

Happy reading the text~~
