Chapter 787: Those Past Events (2)
Her name is Rulan. It's his senior sister, one year higher than him.
When I was in high school, I occasionally heard her name because at that time, she was the school girl.
Of course, that was before Gu Yiren came to school.
The appearance of Gu Yiren made her name dim quickly, and since then, everyone around her has been talking about Gu Yiren, not Rulan.
But when he was in high school, he had two encounters with this senior sister.
Once, it was to represent the school in a mathematics competition, Rulan was in her third year of high school at the time, she was not a participant, but she volunteered to lead the team.
But in fact, he heard that Rulan's grades were very good and she had participated on behalf of the school, but now that she was in her third year of high school, she didn't have enough energy to study, and a female teacher who led the team was unwell, so she was temporarily asked to help.
That debate tournament was going to Guangzhou, which was quite far.
A two-day, one-night trip, that is, an overnight stay there.
He's not a guy who likes to talk too much, it's not that he doesn't like to talk, it's just that he prefers to spend his time elsewhere than to waste his tongue.
Most of the others knew about him and wouldn't bother, but Rulan wasn't.
She is a cheerful woman, and everyone in the team likes her very much, because she does, and she is also enthusiastic to help him.
During the two-day and one-night trip, Rulan took a lot of care of him.
He didn't think much about it, but at that time, the senior sister cared about the junior brother, basically.
Later, they rarely intersected, probably because the senior year of high school was too busy, or something else, he hadn't seen Rulan a few times.
However, in my impression, I refused Rulan's invitation to eat once.
It's not a random invitation, it's the college entrance examination list, if Lanka is very good, he said to invite him to dinner.
But he didn't go.
Later, the two lost contact.
It's just that I didn't expect the university to meet again.
But at that time, Rulan had a boyfriend by her side, a very good boy, and the two were very compatible.
And the intersection between him and Rulan is only occasionally encountered, to the point of meeting and greeting.
I have eaten a few times, all with her boyfriend, three of them.
When he was twenty-five years old, he wanted to start a business, and when he ran for investment, he met Rulan again.
It was also that time, for the first time in the real sense, he invited Rulan to dinner.
It's probably someone I've known since I was young, and although I don't think this senior sister is very familiar, he does still have a trust.
The senior sister heard his idea of starting a business, thought it was very good, and said that she wanted to do it with him, and asked him if he was welcome.
He was actually a little hesitant and didn't agree right away.
Unexpectedly, three days later, Rulan called him, and there was only one sentence on the phone: I resigned, you can take me in.
Li Chen has to admit that on his entrepreneurial journey, Rulan did give him a lot of help and support.
In his heart, he is also very grateful to her.
Rulan likes him, and he can see it.
If a woman quits a stable and well-paid job and goes to him with an uncertain future, what else can it be?
Rulan confessed to him, and he thought about agreeing, but it was only for a moment.
Yes, he refused, on the grounds that he did not need love.
He didn't say that he didn't need it, in fact, there was a strange emotion that he couldn't say himself.
And those emotions are all related to a person in memory.
Rulan nodded: "I've heard about your parents, I don't think it's strange that you have this kind of thought, so I don't ask you to love me, I love you enough...... So, Achen, would you like to marry me? β
Tie the knot?
He frowned and didn't speak.
Rulan looked at him, hooked her lips and smiled: "It's okay, you think slowly, I'm waiting for you to open." β
But there are some things that you may never be able to think about.
That year, he was twenty-eight years old, and Rulan was a year older than him, and he was already twenty-nine years old.
How long can a woman's youth last? And how long does he need to delay a woman's youth?
He sighed a little, thought about it for a long time, and decided to talk to Rulan, he thought, he might be able to accept this relationship.
Or rather, this marriage.
Rulan's love, he wasn't sure if he needed it, but Rulan could indeed bring him a very stable life.
And stability seems to be what he desires.
He almost got ready, bought an engagement ring, and even booked a restaurant three days in advance.
Just to give Rulan a seemingly romantic proposal.
But what he didn't expect was that he was invited to a business cocktail party, and at the cocktail party, he met Gu Haifeng.
Gu Haifeng admired him very much, that was the real elder's appreciation for the junior.
Towards the end of the reception, Gu Haifeng asked him: "Xiao Li, although I am very presumptuous, I still want to ask you, ...... Is it single? β
He was stunned, and he wanted to say, no......
Because in three days, he may have a fiancΓ©e, and he may even get married soon......
But at that time, his heart was beating unusually fast, and there was a voice buzzing in his heart, which made him unable to calm down.
Then he heard himself say, "I...... It's single. β
Gu Haifeng smiled and nodded: "It's good...... It's good to be single! β
Gu Haifeng left, didn't say anything else, and he didn't know what that "very good" meant.
After going back, he took the custom-made ring and looked at it for a long time, whether he had canceled the proposal plan in three days.
But sometimes fate may be so elusive.
Once the floodgates are opened, it seems to be trying to push you in a certain direction, and if you want to stop, it may not allow it.
On the day he was about to propose, Rulan had an accident and was in a car accident, and the perpetrator was none other than Gu Yiren.
β¦β¦
Gu Shaoqing searched for about an hour, and found Gu Yiren near the river dam in S City.
Gu Yiren sat there, staring at the turbulent river below, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Gu Shaoqing sat down next to him, and his voice was very soft: "Your current physical condition is not suitable for going out, nor is it suitable for blowing." β
Gu Yiren turned his eyes to look at him, pulled his lips and smiled: "What do you know?" β
"It's common sense, and everyone understands it."
"......" Gu Yiren was speechless.
Gu Shaoqing took a deep breath and said, "Sister, are you sure you don't like your brother-in-law?" If you really don't like it, I can help you tell your parents and grandpa to divorce you......"
Gu Yiren's eyes trembled, and he didn't speak.
Gu Shaoqing said again: "I don't really know much about the things between the two of you, although I have vaguely heard some rumors, and I haven't paid much attention to them...... Because I always feel that you can handle it yourself, and you don't need me to worry about it. β
Gu Yiren smiled and said with a little disdain: "What do you know......"
"I don't understand...... But sister, do you really understand? β
Gu Yiren frowned, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
