Chapter 23: Appearance
"Song Yi, he's really back, I'm not dreaming."
Qi Ran's voice was hoarse, a little weak, and pitiful, but he said the painting that Song Yi didn't want to talk about the most.
"Xiao Ran, listen to me, I saw the person who stole the painting, it was in the flower room, I saw it that morning. This person must be very familiar with the Gu family, so ......"
"It's Gu Jingchen!"
Qi Ran said extremely firmly, her words were sonorous and powerful, with a bit of resoluteness.
Song Yi was a little helpless, and the anger in his eyes was about to rise.
"Ranran, can you be sober? Gu Jingchen has been dead for ten years, how can he come back from the dead! β
"He is the only one in this world who can open the door of the secret room except me, and he is definitely alive!"
Song Yi looked at Qi Ran, how much sadness was revealed in his scarlet eyes, ten years of tolerance and spoiling, in exchange for Qi Ran's longing for Gu Jingchen.
"Ranran, did you think about me a little bit when you said these words?"
It's time for them to talk about marriage, why do they still mention Gu Jingchen, why do they still have such a deep obsession?
Qi Ran looked up at the crystal of the roller in the corner of Song Yi's eyes, the last time he saw him shed tears was on the night of his car accident, and he was also so grief-stricken.
"Song Yi, I'm sorry, but ......"
Qi Ran had no way to tell Song Yi that Gu Jingchen was her own brother, and she couldn't use it to face Song Yi in such an unbearable past. What's more, even if she didn't have this layer of blood relationship, she couldn't completely put Gu Jingchen down.
"I'll help you check until you die!"
Qi Ran grabbed Song Yi. I want to explain, but I don't know what to say.
"I just want you to remember, you are my fiancΓ©e, and you are going to marry me." Song Yi told Qi Ran firmly. What he was most afraid of was Qi Ran being shaken.
However, before Song Yi could really start an investigation, the person who arranged for apartment No. 77 came with the news, saying that someone appeared at the door of the apartment and was able to open the door and enter it skillfully.
Song Yi asked them to wait and see what was going on, guarded the people, and then rushed to Apartment No. 77 with Qi Ran.
Song Yi hugged Qi Ran, wanting to fill the fear in his heart, but in fact, it was not only Qi Ran who was nervous now, but also him.
He was afraid of losing Qi Ran.
In the hall of the apartment, Song Yi's people had already caught the man.
Qi Ran almost ran into the apartment, and Song Yi behind her followed her closely.
Fear, but also anticipation.
The moment he stepped into the apartment, Qi Ran's breath stagnated.
"How could it be you?"
Qi Ran looked at the person sitting on the chair, and there were two bodyguards standing beside him to restrain him.
"Qi Ran hasn't seen me for a long time, I didn't expect you to remember me."
It's been a long time, looking at the man in front of him, he still has a baby face, and even though he is already in his thirties, he looks like he is only in his early twenties. If it weren't for the fact that he used to be Gu Jingchen's only friend, Qi Ran would definitely not be able to remember him.
Shen Zhiyun's appearance made Qi Ran unexpected. But it seems reasonable.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Zhiyun looked at Qi Ran, then at Song Yi behind him, and smiled mockingly, "You have occupied this place for two years, Qi Ran, didn't you dissolve the relationship with the Gu family?" Why come back. β
Shen Zhiyun answered the question. To be more precise, he didn't want to answer Qi Ran's words at all.
Song Yi didn't know Shen Zhiyun, but it seemed that this person must have something to do with Gu Jingchen.
"Where is Gu Jingchen?"
Song Yi stared at him and saw that his pupils were significantly dilated when he heard Qi Ran's question.
"Do you remember Gu Jingchen? Qi Ran, in the past ten years, have you ever been to the cemetery to see him? When you dream back in the middle of the night, did you see him? β
Shen Zhiyun suddenly burst out laughing, as if mocking her ruthlessness.
Song Yi saw Qi Ran's body trembling, pulled her behind him, and looked directly at Shen Zhiyun, "Don't pretend to be a ghost, let's say, what are you going to do?" β
"It's between us, and it's none of your business."
Shen Zhiyun turned his head, and he didn't even want to look at Song Yi
Even if he is now controlled by others, there is no fear at all. Because he knew that Qi Ran would not treat him badly.
Song Yi looked at what Shen Zhiyun was wearing, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the figure of the person he saw in the flower room. If this person is really pretending to be a ghost, he will definitely let him survive and not die.
"Qi Ran, don't you want the world to remember Gu Chen? Then of course I'm going to fulfill you. β
Shen Zhiyun doesn't know how to draw, and even if he can, it is impossible for him to have such exquisite painting skills to be exactly the same as Gu Chen.
Therefore, when Qi Ran saw Shen Zhiyun, he strengthened his conjecture that Gu Jingchen was still alive. Even if Shen Zhiyun used to come to apartment 77 occasionally, his familiarity was not enough to be able to enter and exit at will.
Shen Zhiyun looked at Qi Ran with red eyes, "Aren't you imitating Gu Jingchen?" I'm going to make it easier for you to remember. Putting "Memories of 77" in the exhibition hall and keeping it mysterious will only make people forget faster. Gu Chen's works belong to the world, not to you. β
Qi Ran raised his palm, seeing that his hand was about to fall on Shen Zhiyun's face, he forcibly controlled himself again.
The person described by Curator Zhou today is quite consistent with Shen Zhiyun's characteristics.
"Do you know the flowers of the other side?"
Qi Ran clenched his fists and asked.
Shen Zhiyun frowned, obviously not understanding the question Qi Ran asked.
"Shen Zhiyun, let's go, go and tell Gu Jingchen to stop hiding and hiding."
Qi Ran became calm. The confusion in Shen Zhiyun's eyes made her firm in her heart.
If you don't understand the meaning of the flowers on the other side, how can you plant the flowers on the other side of the Gu family, it is obvious that Shen Zhiyun does not know the flowers on the other side of the Gu family's flower house.
Song Yi frowned. He didn't like what Qi Ran said.
To be more precise, he would rather everything be done by Shen Zhiyun, and it has nothing to do with Gu Jingchen, who has been dead for ten years.
Qi Ran let Shen Zhiyun go.
Shen Zhiyun was surprised that Qi Ran was suddenly so sure of the fact that Gu Jingchen was still alive.
When he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Qi Ran, "Qi Ran, let Gu Jingchen always be the best in your heart, in fact, I don't want you to see each other, because you are not worthy." β
Because you don't deserve it.
Watching Shen Zhiyun leave his sight, thinking about what he said, Qi Ran knew that he was talking about the fact that he was with Song Yi now.
She didn't know what Gu Jingchen had experienced in the past ten years, why did she deceive everyone, pretending to be dead even though she was alive.
"Ranran, we'll never be apart, right?"
In the evening, Qi Ran did not look back at home and was taken to the hotel by Song Yi. Song Yi bit the position of Qi Ran's collarbone and asked.
He clasped Qi Ran's fingers, and only ten fingers were clasped tightly to feel that Qi Ran was still by his side, and they were still together.
Qi Ran's eyes were foggy, and when he looked at Song Yi, he felt guilty in addition to love. Qi Ran raised his hand, gently put Song Yi's face on his face, and looked at him, his eyes flashing with tears. "Song Yi, Gu Jingchen and I ...... It's just that once, there was no longer any possibility for me and him. β
Song Yi lowered his head and kissed Qi Ran's lips heavily. Enough, enough, even if it was a temporary comfort to him, he felt that it was enough.
If he could, Song Yi couldn't wait to go on with Qi Ran like this until he was old. There is only a time when two people are intimately united. He felt relieved in his heart, there was no past he had not participated in, no Gu Jingchen, no obstruction of everything, only each other.
However, all the calmness collapsed in an instant the next morning, after Qi Ran received an unfamiliar text message.
"The answers you want are all in Qingcheng Cemetery."
The payment did not indicate his identity, but probably only Shen Zhiyun would send such a text message.
Song Yi hugged her from behind Qi Ran and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I'll go with you."
Song Yi's voice was calm. But the heart has long been fierce, rolling up a thousand waves.
Qingcheng Cemetery
The sky was gray, and Qi Ran hadn't been here many times, but it seemed that most of it was raining.
The air was a little cold, but also a little gloomy.
The drizzle, hitting the face, with a hint of coldness.
Because of Qi Ran's request, Song Yi didn't keep up, if it weren't for Qi Ran's tough attitude, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control it and secretly follow.
Not long after Qi Ran left his sight, Song Yi was so irritable that he had several cigarette butts under his feet after a while.
Qi Ran walked very heavily with every step, and saw a back standing in front of the tomb from a distance.
Standing in the highest position, his back is a little lonely.
Qi Ran gradually approached, and gradually saw the back clearly, and at the same time, his footsteps became heavier.
This back, in thousands of nights, has appeared in dreams, like a nightmare, tormenting her in countless dreams.
She had been longing for disaster, and she had prayed countless times for a miracle someday.
Ten years, it is possible to dilute everything, and at a time when everyone is almost forgetting the name of that legend, a miracle really happened.
When she was finally able to let go, a miracle happened.
It was only a few steps away from him, but Qi Ran couldn't walk.
She was terrified that it would be another dream, and that it would soon disappear, as it had been in countless dreams in the past ten years.
Qi Ran's throat seemed to be pinched, and he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say anything.
In the bottom of my heart, I kept calling that name, but I couldn't make a sound.
Didn't you say that the flowers and leaves will never meet, so why do they still appear?
You once said that I am the only person you love most in this life, why did you leave me so cruelly for ten years?
There are too many reasons hidden in my heart, but I can't say anything.
It's good that he's alive, and what could be more important than that. 0
Qi Ran looked at his side face, much thinner than the face in his memory, his facial features were more three-dimensional, and his temperament was not as cold as before, and there was a bit of indifference in maturity.
Obviously there are only a few steps between them, why does it seem like they are separated by thousands of years?
"You, is it really him?"
It was a long, long time before Qi Ran dared to ask such a sentence, with three points of fear, six points of expectation, and one point of doubt.
It's been too long, too long, ten years.
The person in front of him turned his head to look at her, not the spoiling in his memory, not the eyes in his memory.
