How Gu Shaoze 'borrowed' the car from his classmates, Ji Xincheng didn't remember the details very well, only knew that it was not a friendly way, but remembered that when he sent her to the subway station, her first words were, "Remember to return the car to others." ”

As if dissatisfied with her natural commanding tone, Gu Shaoze raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I listen to you?" ”

"Because ......" she really couldn't think of a reason, she took out the tickets of relatives and friends from her bag, a total of three, and spread them out in front of him, "I will perform here for three days, once a day, you see which day you have a convenient time, I will give you the tickets!" ”

Gu Shaoze pondered, took the three tickets in her hand to look at them, and asked casually, "Which role do you play?" ”

"Xiaohui, the daughter of the hall master."

When Gu Shaoze heard this, he glanced at her again, and then took one of them and left, "Okay, I accepted the ticket, aren't you in a hurry?" Hurry up. ”

"Will you come and see it?" There was undisguised anticipation in her eyes.

Gu Shaoze didn't look at her again, "It depends on the situation." ”

"You must come, okay?"

"Why?" He was a little surprised.

"I don't want to owe you."

“……”

"I mean, I want to say thank you to you! If it hadn't been for you, I might have ......" she was so anxious that she was incoherent.

"If I hadn't refused to show you the way just now, you wouldn't have met those men." He took her words.

"No, no, I can understand your feelings, you probably think I'm a liar."

Gu Shaoze laughed, "It's not like a liar, you little girl, what can you deceive people!" Go back and stop wandering around alone. ”

But Ji Xincheng still didn't move, "Then are you coming?" ”

Gu Shaoze seemed a little helpless to be entangled by her, and finally agreed, "Okay, I'll go." ”

"Really?" She was pleasantly surprised and couldn't believe it.

"This location is difficult to buy, I may not be able to buy it if I have money, why waste it?"

Listening to his reasonable explanation, she really smiled at ease, bowed deeply to him again, and then turned around and walked towards the subway station.

But before she took two steps, she turned around and told Gu Shaoze again, "You must return the bicycle to that classmate, okay?" This time, without waiting for Gu Shaoze's reaction, Ji Xincheng said again, "You are different from those boys!" ”

Then no matter what Gu Shaoze's reaction was, he went directly through the security check and entered the subway station.

Ji Xincheng remembered that she was in a trance at the subway station for a long time, and her mind was full of Gu Shaoze's laughter, so clear and infectious, she took out the remaining two tickets and found that Gu Shaoze chose the last day.

Will he come? Will he really come? Will he sit where his father is supposed to be sitting and watch her perform?

With a lot of nonsensical imagination, Ji Xincheng hoped for the first time in a month that the time would be almost to the last, but when it came to the last game, she was disappointed again, because Gu Shaoze did not come. Throughout the performance, her eyes would jump to that empty position from time to time, so much so that she almost forgot to say her lines several times.

Ji Xincheng expected that Gu Shaoze's words in the subway station that day were about comforting her and making her feel at ease, but when she returned to the backstage after the performance, she heard from the staff that someone had sent her flowers. It was a large bouquet of bright pink and yellow roses, Ji Xincheng had never received such a beautiful flower, and this kind of flower was not cheap in the flower shop at that time.

The staff told him, "It was sent by a young man who said he didn't have time to watch your show, and apologized with this bouquet of flowers." ”

Ji Rong asked who the person who sent the flowers was, but Ji Xincheng couldn't answer, so he held back for a long time before he lied, saying that he sold the ticket that day to an old man, and the other party sent it to thank her.

In the next three years of high school, Ji Xincheng would think of Gu Shaoze he met in that school from time to time, and he became more and more determined to be admitted to the university in Longcheng. However, three years later, when Ji Xincheng was successfully admitted to this school, after inquiring, he learned that he had graduated when he first met Gu Shaoze.

Ji Xincheng, who entered college life, made new friends and had a new circle to run, she rarely thought of Gu Shaoze after she learned that he was so good, as if there was already a voice in her subconscious telling her that she shouldn't think about it. It's just that the company she went to interview at the beginning of the year of graduation was under Gu Shaoze's name.

At that time, Ji Xincheng was only fascinated by his brilliant temperament, and she didn't know that this was the person she thought about day and night when she was a girl, until she joined the company and saw Gu Shaoze's name in the company's address book, until he made a series of intersections between the two in the name of the president. After developing a lover relationship with him, Ji Xincheng looked at Gu Shaoze who was alive in front of him, and occasionally remembered the throbbing when she was young, but she never mentioned it to Gu Shaoze.

After all, how long ago it was, in Gu Shaoze's life, it was just an ordinary episode, she never dared to think that he would remember her, but she didn't expect that he kept this ticket to this day-

In the evening, Gu Shaoze ended a boring meeting that lasted for five hours, and had a business dinner with a client before returning home. It was dark in the bedroom, it was not early, he thought Ji Xincheng was asleep, so he took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom in the dark.

But when he cleaned up and was about to go to bed, he found that the bed was empty, this fright was not trivial, he was about to turn on the bedside lamp, and the mobile phone rang in the dark, it was Ji Xincheng.

Gu Shaoze quickly picked it up, "Where are you?" ”

"Come to the terrace of the study." It was Ji Xincheng's voice, vaguely with a smile, "Don't turn on the lights." ”

Gu Shaoze stroked his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

Listening to her instructions, he didn't turn on the lights, Gu Shaoze came to the terrace of the study with the help of the light on the mobile phone screen, this terrace is not usually used, and it is larger than all the terraces in the house, Gu Shaoze lifted the curtains and saw the candles on the terrace.

It was not an ordinary candle, it was the aromatherapy wax collected by Ji Xincheng, according to her, it was very precious, and it was very particular about it usually, and the most taboo thing was to point it together, but at the moment, there were about fifty or sixty of them all lit, and they were placed in a heart-shaped shape.

Ji Xincheng sat in the heart shape, with a carpet under her feet, two tatami mat cushions, and sobered red wine and two empty glasses next to the cushion.

She beckoned to him, "Come here." ”

Gu Shaoze was a little caught off guard, this scene made it difficult for him to associate with Ji Xincheng, that is, in the past, he would do such a thing, and he was afraid that Ji Xincheng would feel vulgar, how could he think that she would do it herself.

"What holiday is today?" He walked over to her and sat down, smiling at her.

"Guess?" There was tenderness in her eyes, and she didn't leave his eyebrows for almost a moment.

Gu Shaoze sat down, she stepped forward and leaned on his arms, such an active Ji Xincheng made the man unable to concentrate, he only knew how to laugh, his chin rested on the top of her hair and rubbed, and sighed with satisfaction, "I can't guess." ”

Ji Xincheng smelled the fragrance of the shower gel on his body, and asked first, "Have you eaten enough for dinner?" ”

Gu Shaoze nodded, squinted slightly, and enjoyed this quiet moment very much.

"Did you drink?" Ji Xincheng asked again.

Gu Shaoze let go of her at this time, "I didn't drink, what do you have to say to me?" He looked at the scented candles around him, and the mixture of scents was not good.

Ji Xincheng took out the metal box from behind him and put it on his coiled legs, "I cleaned your study today and found this." ”

Gu Shaoze's gaze froze in the box she opened for two seconds before he said, "Oh, it's all old objects." ”

"Valuable, isn't it?" Otherwise, the key would be so deep.

"It's okay, just to keep a souvenir."

Ji Xincheng raised his eyes to look at Gu Shaoze, and he really saw peace and calmness in his eyes, and handed him the box, "Tonight is a nostalgic night, come and tell me about the origin of these treasures." ”

She said, leaning over to pour her wine.

Gu Shaoze took the box and flipped through it casually, most of them were things from his student days, and seeing the old things of the past again in such a warm situation touched the memories of the past, which was somewhat emotional.

He took a sip of wine and kissed Ji Xincheng's lips before letting her lean into his arms and start talking about those old things.

There are unforgettable mentors from his student days, special moments worth remembering, and classmates who were important at the time but never contacted again when he grew up, almost all the important time nodes throughout his childhood to his teenage years.

When Gu Shaoze picked up the ticket stub for the stage play, he paused.

Ji Xincheng was deliberately waiting to see his reaction, but then he naturally noticed it and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Gu Shaoze glanced at her, and then put the ticket stub into the pile of things he had picked up, which meant that it was over.

But how could Ji Xincheng let him go, reached out and picked up the ticket again to look at it carefully, and asked knowingly: "Why is there a ticket for the stage play here?" Is there any special significance? ”

"Nothing special." He said lightly.

"Really? And you still put it with these important things? ”

Gu Shaoze was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, "Don't you be angry?" ”

"I'm angry? Why? ”

"This ticket is the only connection between me and my first love."

First love? Ji Xincheng was shocked, but she didn't dare to think about herself, and her face was still silent, "Let's hear it." ”

Gu Shaoze's gaze fell on the time of the ticket stub again, as if people were also returning to their memories at the same time, "That was the first time I returned to my alma mater after graduation, and I met my mentor about the experiments I was researching at that time, and I met her in school to ask for directions." At first, I just thought she was approaching me on the grounds of asking for directions, but later I realized that she was really here to ask for directions. ”

He thought of something, smiled softly, that look made Ji Xincheng's heart beat a beat slower, if he didn't know that the person he was thinking about at the moment was probably himself, it would be really shocking to see him show such an expression to others.

"She's from your school?" Ji Xincheng asked.

"No, she was only in her first year of high school at the time, and she visited our school and said that she wanted to be admitted to this university, but she didn't expect to really come to ask for directions."

"And then?"

"The stage play she participated in toured to Dragon City, and she gave me a ticket, and when I went, my dad was in a hurry to call me back to the company, and I didn't have time to sit down, so there was no then."

Ji Xincheng straightened up from Gu Shaoze's arms, looked at him a little distractedly, and said in surprise for a while, "Are you unrequited?" ”

"Sort of," Gu Shaoze said calmly, "When I finish my busy work and go to the theater to find someone, I can't find her." I even went to the next city to find the stage crew, but there was no her in it, and if I hadn't seen it on stage at the time, I really suspected that I was dreaming, or that she was lying to me. ”

“……”

"She gave me a very special feeling, before that I never thought that I could be like other boys, I could fall in love with a girl, I didn't know what it was like to like someone and miss someone, until then I couldn't forget her for a long time." Gu Shaoze turned to Ji Xincheng, saw that she was dumbfounded, and explained, "So it's not an exaggeration to say that it's my first love, but speaking of which, I haven't even touched someone's hand, you shouldn't mind, right?" ”

“……”

"How?" He gradually withdrew from his memory, took a sip of wine, and asked her cautiously.

Ji Xincheng had a complicated taste in his heart, and he also took a sip of wine before saying, "Is she beautiful?" ”

"I don't remember, but I remember that she felt so clean to me, and now even if she stands in front of me, I may not recognize it."

"And if she came to the door on her own now, would you still feel that way about her?"

Gu Shaoze became cautious, looked into Ji Xincheng's eyes, and replied without hesitation, "That's impossible, it's been a long time ago." Besides, I only have my wife in my heart now, and I won't take a second look at anyone who comes. He stretched out his hand to lift her chin, leaned forward and kissed her deeply, and solemnly stated that he was only Ji Xincheng's alone.

"But you liked her so much."

"This kind of thing, how can you say it?" Gu Shaoze drank the wine in the cup, poured himself another half glass, and then said, "The thoughts of youth are very different from those of adulthood, there is no right or wrong in this, although that girl makes me unforgettable, but we only have one side, even if I really find her at that time, the two of us are together, there may not be a good result, this is the reality." Including when I was with Xu Ziqian later, I didn't think about stopping for that girl, after all, I didn't plan to be single for the rest of my life. ”

"So what do you want to say? Regret that you are not fated? ”

"No, what I want to say is that we all live in reality, not in ideals, reality is the present, and I am with you at the moment, and this is the result. In the past, whether it was that girl or Xu Ziqian, they were all necessary factors to guide the establishment of this result, and we should not safely deny it. ”

Ji Xincheng's eyes turned red unconsciously, and tears easily overflowed into his eyes, which immediately caused Gu Shaoze to frown uneasily, and he wiped her tears in a panic, "Hey Mrs. Gu, I obviously said that I wouldn't be angry." ”

He hugged her into his arms, looking very helpless, regretting that he should not have reserved everything.

"What if I say I'm that girl?"
