When Qi Ran came to the apartment, the grass and trees in the garden were not as neat as before, but the flowers were still luxuriant.

The existence of apartment No. 77 is the most precious existence in the depths of Qi Ran's memory, and there are only Gu Jingchen and Qi Ran in the memory of this place, and there is no one else.

Qi Ran approached and was surprised to find that the door was not locked. This place, just by looking outside, you know that it must have been vacant for a long time, Gu Jingchen has been away for 8 years, and there is no point here, who else will appear here at this time except himself?

Could it be Gu Ting?

Qi Ran thought so.

Push open the door with doubts.

The floor-to-ceiling curtains in the apartment were ajar. The sunlight outside illuminates the scene inside.

Qi Ran stepped forward step by step, looking at the few paintings hanging on the wall.

Once upon a time, Gu Chen's works were placed in every corner of this place. Now, it's just an empty house.

The easel was obscured by a white canvas that had fallen into dust.

This is the studio that Gu Chen chose himself, and it has never been contaminated by outsiders. It was never open to the public, either before or after its death.

Qi Ran gently stroked the paint imprint on the table, "Gu Chen......"

How much pain is carried by this name. is not in the world, alone, but even if he is clean and self-loving in the eyes of outsiders, he is not stained with mortal dust, in the eyes of Qi Ran, he is just an ordinary person, from relatives to lovers......

"You're finally back?"

A familiar voice came from the empty room, and with just one sound, Qi Ran's heart throbbed fiercely the moment he raised his eyes.

Raising her eyes to look at the person in front of her, Qi Ran only felt that the years were unforgiving, her eyes were sour, it had been 8 years, and when she saw Cheng Wenxin again after 8 years, she would never have thought that it would be like this.

Cheng Wenxin in his memory is always well-dressed, full of confidence, dignified and gentle. The pride that exudes from the inside out.

But now, the person in front of him, sitting in a wheelchair, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes that were once extremely gorgeous are cloudy and empty at this moment. Although her gaze fell in Qi Ran's direction, she couldn't see the focal length.

Qi Ran covered his mouth, for fear that he would not be able to control his crying.

"Xiao Ran, don't you even want to call me now?"

The maid behind Cheng Wenxin pushed the wheelchair closer, and the former mother and daughter were only one step apart at this time, but their hearts were thousands of miles apart.

Qi Ran was still immersed in surprise, and still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the graceful and luxurious strong woman Cheng Wenxin.

"What do you want me to call you?"

Cheng Wenxin stretched out his hand and tried to grab Qi Ran, but was avoided by Qi Ran. Cheng Wenxin's withered hand waved tentatively in the air, making sure that Qi Ran had avoided her before giving up.

Qi Ran looked at Cheng Wenxin's slender fingers, almost skinny.

"Xiao Ran, how are you doing?"

"What do you think? Has the chairman had a good life in the years since he killed his own grandson? When you dreamed back in the middle of the night, did you see your son? ”

"You're still blaming me, Xiao Ran, you're still blaming me."

Cheng Wenxin's face became more and more sad, I don't know if it was remorse for the past or the accusation of Qi Ran's ruthlessness now, "Xiao Ran, after so many years, you still refuse to let go?" The person in front of her was raised by her, and she had high hopes for her. Although it was only an adoptive relationship, she never treated her badly. Cheng Wenxin has a clear conscience, because she has really always regarded Qi Ran as her own daughter.

Even if something like that happened later, she never blamed her for half a point, some, just as a mother's distress. After such a year, seeing the current Qi Ran's heart is still like a knife.

"You tell me how to put it down? Chairman, you can sell all your son's things just to make yourself more hypocritical, and you try to make everyone forget about Gu Chen just like you. I'll tell you, even if this world forgets Gu Chen, I won't. ”

Qi Ran's hysteria made Cheng Wen's heart ache, she was still so stubborn, so stubborn that it made people feel distressed.

It's been 8 years, and Qi Ran still collapsed as when he touched that injury.

For so many years, Qi Ran refused any help from Cheng Wenxin and refused all contact with the Gu family.

Cheng Wenxin knew that it was Qi Ran who was blaming her.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Chen is no longer here, he has been gone for 8 years."

"He lives forever in my heart."

Always there.

Qi Ran was as stubborn as he was back then, such a confrontation was by the lake of Shangxi Academy of Fine Arts, that was their last dispute and the last face-to-face communication, 8 years later, Qi Ran is still in the same mood.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Chen doesn't want to see you like this."

Cheng Wenxin's calmness is nothing more than a cold-blooded and ruthless performance in Qi Ran's eyes, whether it was or is now.

"You don't deserve to mention him, you don't deserve to be his mother."

Qi Ran shouted with a crying voice. It was obviously summer, why did she feel so cold in apartment 77 at this moment.

Cheng Wenxin picked up the things on his lap and wanted to hand them to Qi Ran, "Because you have refused to have any contact with me in the past few years, there are some things that you have never been able to give you." Xiao Ran, I hope you don't obsess about the past anymore. In the future, let's live well. ”

Cheng Wenxin's words were serious, and Qi Ran, who was in a state of collapse at this time, couldn't think about her words calmly.

Qi Ran looked at the familiar handwriting on the box that Cheng Wenxin was holding, and for a while, she was afraid to touch this box.

Cheng Wenxin left the apartment after handing over the things to Qi Ran.

Silence was restored in the apartment. It's still the way Gu Chen likes, and no one bothered him.

Qi Ran looked at the square box in her hand, and the familiar signature in the lower left corner stung her heart.

In Qingcheng, Qi Ran felt that his heart was about to be unbearable.

The city hurts too much.

When I opened the box, there were only 3 things inside. A key, a sketch, a voice recorder.

Qi Ran opened the sketch paper, just glanced at it, tears burst instantly, all the strength in his body was withdrawn in an instant, and he collapsed weakly on the carpet.

There are only stick figures in black and white. Painted on the portrait of the person, her.

It is a complete face.

Qi Ran grabbed the recorder and opened the play button tremblingly.

"Ranran, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you officially, even the last time we met was so unpleasant."

Gu Jingchen's voice hadn't been heard for a long time. Qi Ran grabbed the recorder and couldn't cry. All the strength, all the disguise collapsed in an instant.

In the studio, Gu Jingchen's unique voice echoed, as if he was beside him.

"Ranran, I'm sorry. It's me who I'm sorry for you, so don't blame Mom, Ran Ran Actually, I'm really afraid of your tears, so you have to laugh more, you know? “

Gu Jingchen's voice was a little lazy, and his breath was not very stable. When recording, Gu Jingchen no longer had the strength to hold a pen, and on the hospital bed, he could only keep his voice. "Ranran, I left you something, I know you don't want it, but what you promised me will become a better me."

"Ah........." Qi Ran curled up and cried loudly.

"Ranran, thank you for accompanying me through the most beautiful time of the rest of my life, my only regret in this life is that I can't accompany you through this life. So you have to be strong. “

Qi Ran really wanted to ask Gu Jingchen, how would he be strong without him? How can it be better without himself.

In this world, there is no greater pain than life and death.

Qi Ran didn't know how to spend the rest of his life.

Qi Ran felt the pain in his lower abdomen gradually expanding. That cold-hearted memory struck again, sweeping away all her strength.

The child he didn't keep, that was the last implication left by Gu Jingchen.

Are you blaming me for not protecting our children, so I was so tormented to live?

Qi Ran couldn't be so ruthless as Cheng Wenxin after all, she couldn't let go of Gu Jingchen.

The air was filled with familiar smells, and those memories poured out, stimulating every cell in the body.

"Ranran, why are you crying?"

In a trance, a familiar figure stood against the light and stood in front of him. The voice was low and nice, "Silly girl, get up." His words are doting, in this world, as long as a person has such a good voice.

Qi Ran wanted to stand up, but his body didn't have any strength. She raised her hand with difficulty, but she didn't know why Gu Jingchen suddenly pushed him away, and Qi Ran's body fell to the cold floor again.

"Qi Ran, look at what you look like now, have you forgotten everything you promised me?"

Qi Ran kept shaking her head, she wanted to explain, but Gu Jingchen's figure gradually blurred, and soon disappeared from sight, Qi Ran stretched out her hand and tried to grab him, but she didn't catch anything.

"Chen, don't leave me!"

Qi Ran woke up and looked blankly at everything pure white in front of him, and there was a strong smell of disinfectant between his noses.

"Ahh

Qi Ran grabbed the quilt and cried uncontrollably.

Why, it's a dream again?

"Ranran, don't be like this, calm down."

Song Yi took the person in front of him into his arms. The person in his arms was like a helpless child, crying hysterically about the pain of the past.

Song Yi couldn't do anything but hug her tightly.

Qi Ran's pain, he can't cure it.

Qi Ran felt uncomfortable, she felt that the whole world had collapsed. She has been hiding for so many years, and she is still heartbroken when she faces the past with Gu Jingchen again.

"Why do you want to leave me alone, you said that you will accompany me for the rest of my life, Gu Jingchen, you bastard."

The warmth on Song Yi's neck was caused by Qi Ran for Gu Jingchen, and not a single word she said uncontrollably was burning his heart.

"You let me live alone, how can I live without you? Gu Jingchen, you bastard, do you know how difficult it has been for me for so many years? ”

Qi Ran's accusation made Song Yi extremely heartbroken, he knew all the pain Qi Ran endured, but Gu Jingchen would never know.

What can I do to heal that wound in your heart?
