The next afternoon, An Ruo received a call from Xiangxiang, saying that he was going back.

An Ruo was tossed by Gu Chu all night, and wanted to send her off, but she was also powerless. But this kind of thing is not easy to say on the surface, I am a little sorry in my heart, but I have to find an excuse for Xiangxiang and shirk it.

Fortunately, Xiangxiang said that he didn't care.

After chatting a few words, Xiangxiang changed his words and asked An Ruo: "For you, Gu Chu is not your boyfriend or what?" ”

An Ruo thought about it for a long time, what was it. The two people who originally had no intersection went from strangeness to familiarity, and then ran together to intimacy, and the ups and downs and emotional journeys spent during this period are the most precious memories of An Ruo's life.

They have never said "I love you" to each other, but they have turned each other into indispensable to each other in the plain, so close to each other, not like relatives but better than relatives.

In the end, An Ruo said to Xiangxiang: "He is my guiding light, a kind of spiritual sustenance. "It's light, but it's heavy.

Relying on him has become a habit, mixed into the blood of the bones, carved into the soul, indelible.

In early July, it was the fifty-third birthday of Gu's mother Liao Hanrong, because it was not an integer, so it was just a family banquet, in addition to the Gu family, there was... Anruo.

At that time, An Ruo was preparing for the September judicial exam, because An Ruo's grades were excellent, the counselor suggested that she could try it, An Ruo was a little timid at first, and after discussing with Gu Chu, she decided to give it a try.

Because he said; "No matter what happens, I will be by your side to spend it with you, you have me, what are you afraid of."

Since there are only two months before the exam, and the judicial exam is known as the "first exam in the world", the difficulty is self-evident. Therefore, An Ruo held the book almost all the time, reading and reciting the obscure and esoteric legal provisions from morning to night.

On this day, when An Ruo was impetuous because he couldn't memorize a long legal provision, Gu Chu called An Ruo; "Come and sit at home, they all want to see you."

Hearing the call, An Ruo instantly lost all thoughts, put down the book, and unconsciously bit her lip.

Gu Chu's voice on the other side of the microphone was warm and warm; "It's just a family feast, and many people are lively. If you don't want to, you can take it slowly. ”

An Ruo held the phone and laughed silently, helpless and happy.

How can you not go? If she wants to go on with Gu Chu for a long time, this hurdle will have to be crossed sooner or later. There are always thousands of hurdles to cross on the road of life, but as long as you are with him, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But if you want to be accepted, you must pay first.

On my birthday, it happened to be a Wednesday. Gu Chu was the first to drive to the school to pick up An Ruo.

The Gu family compound looks very simple on the outside, and only when you go in does you know what it means to have something inside. The Gu family is a military family, the interior decoration is low-key and luxurious, with a great sense of design, and there will always be some antique artworks in the casual corner, and the price is scary to death. has wealth but does not expose it, like Gu Chu himself.

The sun is shining, illuminating the flowers and plants in the garden. It can be seen that these flowers and plants have been carefully cared for, and the clusters of flowers are extremely bright, proudly blooming in the sun. Walking indoors, there are flower shadows everywhere, and the room is full of fragrance.

An Ruo saw a calligraphy and painting hanging on the LCD TV at a glance, writing that the heart is like a mountain and a sea, quiet and boundless. The font is beautiful and elegant, flowing with clouds and water, and there is a pleasant charm between the scattered.

Gu Chu stood behind her and explained: "This is my father's early work. ”

An Ruo turned around and smiled shallowly, "It's very personable." "Words are sincere, but there is no flattery.

Gu Congming, who was on the side, heard her evaluation, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lovingly: "An Ruo, come and chat with your uncle." ”

Gu Chu didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the kitchen, and handed An Ruo a reassuring look before leaving. She understood that he wanted them to spend more time with each other in private.

On the sofa, Gu Congming looked like a kind elder, asking An Ruo's schoolwork and physical condition with concern, and told her not to tire herself for the exam.

An Ruo listened quietly on the side, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and the temperature of his palms came over, with a heart-piercing warmth.

The rhythmic sound of high heels resounded from the staircase, from far to near, accompanied by the sound of surprise; "Has Xiao Chu's girlfriend arrived?"

An Ruo raised her eyes to meet the loving eyes of the lady, with a strong atmosphere of elegance, dressing seems simple, but she does not lose her calm style. Isn't it Liao Hanrong, who is it?

Liao Hanrong also looked at An Ruo and looked at him quietly.

An Ruo is a girl who doesn't need to embellish too much literary and artistic atmosphere, but she just sits quietly next to Gu Congming, with shallow eyebrows and a calm temperament.

When looking at Liao Hanrong, he was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were clear and watery, and he smiled lightly, looking like a likable look. It's just that......

"Girl, have we met before?" Liao Hanrong looked puzzled and asked.

In fact, she didn't think so, An Ruo also felt the same way. From the first time I met Gu Congming, I had a sense of déjà vu, and now my doubts have deepened.

Where have you seen it? I have never been here except for the time when I was hospitalized. Wait a minute? Hospitalization? An Ruo's memory began to flicker, and it seemed like she had returned to that warm winter day in a trance.

After a while, Gu Chu beside him coughed, and An Ruo's thoughts were pulled back from the depths of his memory... Said lightly: "I look at my uncle and aunt are also a little familiar, as if I have met my uncle and aunt before the heart exchange surgery." Turning his head to look at Gu Chu: "I didn't know that my uncle and aunt were your parents, and there was such a coincidence in the world." Why haven't you told me about it? "The eyes are full of joy, and the words are innocent.

It's no wonder that An Ruo didn't have the impression that Gu's father and mother at that time had haggard faces, immersed in the pain of losing their daughter, and they were not as graceful as they are now. At that time, An Ruo was still young, and he couldn't understand their emotions very well, but he had never seen anyone cry so miserably, as if he was going to shed the last tear.

The moment before entering the operating room, Gu's mother looked at the heart source tightly with a pair of eyes, greedy for the last look, and couldn't bear to move away. An Ruo was very impressed.

In this way, An Ruo's heart is Xiaoqin's. It was actually hers, her heart turned a thousand times, and her face turned a little whiter.

Changing hearts? The expression of the second elder changed from puzzled to shocked, and finally they all turned their suspicious eyes to Gu Chu and did not answer.

There was a heavy light in the latter's eyes, gentle and calm, as if he couldn't notice the eyes of the second elder at all, and said lightly: "I also knew that you had actually met before." ”

"Gu Chu, take a trip to the study after dinner." Gu Congming's tone was dignified and could not be disobeyed. Gu Chu on the side nodded as a promise.

Liao Hanrong played a round on the side; "yes, I'll talk about it after dinner. Since we are so fateful, let's make our family lively today. His eyes fell on An Ruo gently: "An Ruo, right?" Don't be inhibited with your aunt, just treat it like your own home. ”

After that, he affectionately took An Ruo's hand and went to the dining table, just like a mother and daughter.

Although An Ruo had the idea of retreating, everyone spoke, and if An Ruo didn't follow, he would be too petty. But I was still pleased with Liao Hanrong's affectionate gestures, and I smiled a little.

There was a faint anger between Gu Congming's eyebrows, which was difficult to attack because of An Ruo's presence. A family dinner may seem peaceful on the surface, but it is only on the surface.

An Ruo just sat quietly and ate quietly, serving new dishes, Liao Hanrong deliberately eased the atmosphere at the table, and said to Gu Chu: "Xiao Chu, quickly pour your dad a glass of wine." ”

Gu Congming coldly refused: "I won't drink today, don't toss." ”

For a while, the atmosphere fell to the freezing point, and An Ruo was a little apprehensive. looked at Gu Chu beside her, and the latter gently shook her hand and comforted her.

An Ruo could see that although Gu Chu's father and son didn't have much conversation, it seemed from Gu Chu's behavior of pouring wine that he was filial to his father and full of respect.

Liao Hanrong moved his chopsticks to put the dish in An Ruo's bowl, and said lovingly: "Come, try this dish, this is the crayfish that was just airlifted today, the protein content is very high, you should make up for your weakness." ”

"Thank you, Auntie" An Ruo glanced at Gu's mother with some emotion, and quietly peeled the shrimp.

Liao Hanrong looked at An Ruo with a satisfied face. It can be seen that An Ruo's tutor is very good, and he doesn't talk much at the dinner table, he only responds shallowly when others ask, and looks directly at him politely, so that people can't find fault.

At the end, he looked at An Ruo gently and said; "In the future, I will have more time to come to the house to sit and accompany my aunt, okay?"

One sentence made the Gu family's father and son change their faces, but An Ruo was happy, but a little apologetic, she was afraid that she would treat her as Xiaoqin, after all, she was the one who occupied her heart.

At noon that day, An Ruo has been arming herself with a smile, she is not a child without eyes, although it was the surgical consent form they signed at that time, but she is not Xiaoqin after all, occupying her daughter's heart, and her son is in love, as parents, what kind of mentality do they have, An Ruo's heart is restless.

Fortunately, the Gu family has excellent cultivation, and there is no stick to beat her out.

After the meal, An Ruo helped Liao Hanrong to wash the dishes, and in the closed space, she heard her say; "Girl, what's wrong with our junior high, I'll apologize to you on his behalf first, he's just... It's just that the obsession is too heavy. ”

An Ruo lowered his head and looked at the flowing water that crossed his fingertips, and was puzzled, so he had to answer: "Don't worry, he is very good to me." Also, I'm sorry for Xiaoqin. ”

Liao Hanrong looked at An Ruo with complicated eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to apologize, it's all fate." We Xiaoqin are not blessed, it's not your fault. ”

An Ruo doesn't know how to describe such a gaze, like love, like sadness, like nostalgia, like sorry... For a moment, words seemed to be frozen, and only silence remained.

After sitting in the living room and talking with the second elder for a few minutes, Gu's father began to send off guests: "Poor hospitality today, Gu's father is very sorry for you." I still have something to talk to Gu Chu later, is it okay to let Xiao Liu send you back? ”

As soon as these words came out, An Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief, got up to say goodbye, and politely rejected the driver.

In the end, Gu Chu explained: "This side is relatively biased, and it is not easy to take a taxi. I am also relieved to have a driver to send you. "Get up and send An Ruo out.

When she got to the courtyard, she said, "All right, that's it." Today is your mother's birthday, and you should spend more time with her. He stepped forward and gently surrounded Gu Chu, buried his face in his chest, and said calmly: "Mr. Gu, I believe you." As long as you say I will believe you. ”

She said to believe him, in this complex and tortuous world, unconditional belief is the most rare, and Rao is as indifferent as Gu Chu can't avoid the temptation of such language.

Even so, he insisted on putting her in the car before turning back.

An Ruo sat in the car, her thoughts gradually rose, she actually said that she believed him without blushing or panting, in fact, she was really worried, the appearance of the second elder of the Gu family at the table An Ruo guessed a few points, she didn't dare to ask, but apart from that reason, An Ruo couldn't think of a reason why Gu Chu was with her, but she didn't dare to ask.

Worried that love is like a bubble in the sun, it will burst as soon as it blows, so where should her heart go?

The belief in Gu Chuyan's words is nothing more than to comfort his uneasy heart, how sad.

She admits that she was scared, afraid of the horrible truth behind it. Looking up at the afternoon sun through the car window, I wish it would shine a light on her cowardice.
