Back at school, it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon. An Ruo held the mobile phone, tangled for a while, and hesitated whether to find someone to discuss. Just thinking about it, the phone rang, it was a text message.

Xiangxiang's text message is very heartwarming; "Prepare for the exam, come on! Rush together! ”

An Ruo looked at the phone and was distracted, raised his hand and pressed the dial button. The microphone was quickly connected, with a very brisk voice; "I thought you were going to be busy and wouldn't call you. Anyway, why did you call at this time? ”

An Ruo listened to the answer in the form of auspicious cannons, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, but he didn't respond. She is a child who is used to forbearance, and her heart is tough enough. She can still laugh in such a situation now, but it is a little incredible.

Thinking of the lunch, An Ruo's heart was filled with an indescribable sourness...

I haven't heard a reply for a long time, and the microphone is obviously a little anxious, "An Ruo, what's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? You... Is it still there? ”

It's all sad people who are most afraid of hearing and caring, because then the sad mood will flood. For example, the current Anruo.

An Ruo looked at the green leaves on campus swaying under the scorching sun with the cool breeze, everything seemed to be developing towards a better side, and her love came to a corner...

On this day, An Ruo's eyes were warm, and her pure and beautiful face was faintly tired. She said; "When you play a game of chess in the middle of the game and you find that it is a dead game, what will you do at that time?"

There was a pause before he said; "No one can predict what will happen to them, even if it is a dead game, it will hinder my desire to break through."

Break? Yes, everything has just begun and the coffin has not yet been decided, so why does she have to make a decision for it? Whose will this please and whose heart can it be called?

No matter what, he is still Gu Chu, the Gu Chu who warmed her entire old time, the Gu Chu who she fell in love with at first sight, the Gu Chu who gave her a different kind of warmth in her best years, the unique Gu Chu.

Finally, she said; "Xiangxiang, thank you. I know what to do. ”

.......

In the courtyard of the Gu family, the two fathers and sons deliberately separated Liao Hanrong and asked her to make tea, and for a while, only the father and son were left in the study.

At the beginning, Gu Congming's voice was still vaguely restrained and slightly low, and he asked, "You knew it from the beginning?" ”

"Yes." Gu Chu's voice was light and slightly hoarse.

'Bang' sounded, and Gu Congming slapped Gu Chu's face with a palm, with great force, so that Gu Chu's entire body deviated sideways.

Gu Congming pointed at Gu Chu with a trembling hand, with a question; "What did you say to me when I first met her? Say that you really love her and want to protect her for the rest of your life, you love and protect her like this? Have you ever wondered what she would think when she found out the truth? ”

Gu Chu's thin lips were pursed, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was struggling, he pondered for a while, raised his eyes and said seriously; "Even if my motives were not pure at the beginning, but now that I am deeply mired, isn't that enough?"

Gu Congming looked at Gu Chu with helplessness and scrutiny, "I thought you were a sophisticated child, it turned out..." She is not at fault at all, but because of your selfish desires to be someone else's stand-in, compare your heart to your heart, if she takes the initiative to be with you because you have the heart of the person she loves, how do you feel? ”

As a father, Gu Cong is a good and enlightened father. The Gu family has been in the army for generations, and it stands to reason that for the sake of the Gu family, Gu Congming should also let Gu Chu take the non-commissioned officer school and follow his old path. But he fell through everyone's glasses, and according to Gu Chu's thoughts, he supported him to the road of a lawyer without hesitation.

In the eyes of everyone, Gu Congming is by no means a pedantic and tough person. And now, he looked at Gu Chu with a fierce expression, just because he hurt a girl's sincerity.

After a pause of two seconds, Gu Chu's voice sounded, "I understand, it's just that things have come to this point." I want to marry her, this is sincere, it has nothing to do with Xiaoqin. ”

In the study, Gu Chu stood in front of Gu Congming against the light, his expression was calm, his tone could not hear a trace of waves, and his few words were undoubtedly resolute.

Gu Chu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Congming, without waves, with unknown emotions, such a look at each other was like a silent movie, the picture flowed, seemingly calm but the dark tide was turbulent.

After a long time, Gu Congming retracted his gaze and sighed, his voice was far away; "An Ruo is a good child, I have no objection if you want to marry her. But you have to explain everything to her at the same time, and it's better to speak yourself than to hear about it from someone else's mouth. ”

Anyway, for An Ruo, a child, he likes it. has a gentle personality, is not arrogant or impatient, and is smart in speech, which is also a good match for Gu Chu.

Gu Congming's meaning Gu Chu naturally understood that his father wanted him to be responsible for his own affairs, but if he explained, the consequences...

"Now that the matter has been made, no matter what the consequences are, you should bear it." Gu Congming looked at Gu Chu's unclear expression and added a sentence.

"Think about it yourself," he flicked his sleeves and left the study.

In the empty study, Gu Chu stood in vain, his face pale, and the turbulent waves appeared in his calm eyes, leaving only silence.

......

At dusk, tell An Ruo that he is waiting for her at the school gate.

Dressed and downstairs, the weather in S City is unpredictable on a summer day, and there was no sign of rain when I came back in the afternoon, and as soon as the dusk passed, it began to drop rain.

It was close, under the dim street lamp, Gu Chu was half-lying in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, heard the sound of the car door, glanced at the co-pilot, and saw that An Ruo was already sitting in the co-pilot.

There was a hint of rain on his hair, which moistened his forehead.

Gu Chu frowned, "Why don't you use an umbrella?" ”

An Ruo took a deep breath and said softly, "If you wait too long, you will be impatient." A little silly replied, trying to dispel the embarrassment of the afternoon between words.

Gu Chu took out a tissue to wipe the rain on her forehead, "It's going to catch a cold" How could he be impatient with her?

An Ruo smiled and didn't move, she just made him feel sorry for her, and after getting along for a long time, she felt how rare it was to be pampered like a daughter.

Gu Chu wiped her clean before saying, "Go live with me tonight." ”

"Ah, then my review materials are still in the dormitory." An Ruo was stunned, but the first thing that came to mind was books.

Gu Chu chuckled lightly and comforted: "The materials on my side are more complete, and I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if I help you." ”

Also, Gu Chu is a genius, and it will be a lot easier to have him to help with the judicial exam. An Ruo didn't refute it again.

The wind at night is a little cool, accompanied by a drizzle, which is quite a bleak feeling. The car was very warm, Gu Chu started the car, and the faint light reflected Gu Chu's eyes deeper than before.

In the apartment, Gu Chu turned on all the lights, and the lights were bright, like day.

The moment the lights were turned on, An Ruo clearly saw the determination and forbearance on Gu Chu's face, which shocked her heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to review well tonight...

Gu Chu led her to the study, which had always been known as the Anruo Forbidden Zone. The only time I went in was the time Gu Congming came, and I haven't been here since. Now...

"You sit down first, and I'll make you a pot of tea." Gu Chu's eyes were more anxious than before, and he almost tripped when he went out, such uneasiness was something An Ruo had never seen before.

Gu Chu in my memory is calm and restrained, accustomed to forbearance, and most of the time she is tender and gentle in the face of her, such a Gu Chu is like seeing her for the first time.

An Ruo's eyes were blank, and she walked straight to the desk. The furnishings on the table were simple and monotonous, but two picture frames caught her eye.

Reaching out and picking it up, one is a photo of her and Gu Chu, and the other is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a smile like a flower, it should be Xiaoqin.

The moment Gu Chu came in with a tray, his eyes darkened when he saw the photo frame in An Ruo's hand.

An Ruo turned his head to look at him, his eyes were calm, with coolness, and he said softly: "Say, I don't want to be kept in the dark." I used to think that there was an invisible wall between us, and I wanted to go to you, but I was blocked by you, and I couldn't get in. ”

Gu Chu led her to sit down, closed her eyes, her throat slidied, and she said hoarsely for a long time: "The person in the photo you are holding is Xiao Qin." This is what I helped her take a photo, that year just in the spring, she has been pestering me to be coquettish, and I took a photo of her that can be placed at the head of the bed, and I was annoyed, so I had to respond to her. ”

As he spoke, Gu Chu's eyes gradually warmed, as if they were memories.

An Ruo listened quietly, lowered his head, and bit his lower lip tightly. The heart is like a knife, her him, but he did not belong to her.

Gu Chu calmed down his emotions, and in a slightly low tone, he told the story of the past: "05 is the year I don't want to recall, I have always hated myself for not accompanying her to dance classes at that time, letting her go out alone, and finally..." I can't get angry, and when they go to see you, peek around to find out who you are. For the next period of time, I have been haunting the hospital, and that day it was a coincidence that I saw you basking in the sun under the tree, I looked at you for a long time, but you didn't know that I was there, until I opened my mouth, you were a little frightened, stunned, silly and cute. ”

"So, from the very beginning, you knew that my heart was Xiao Qin, right?" An Ruo's face was pale, and he couldn't help but speak, his tone a little unsteady.

"Yes."

One word broke all An Ruo's extravagant hopes, and the heart on his chest was faintly painful, and he suppressed it: "And then?" ”

Gu Chu took out the cigarette case from the drawer, shook it, took out a cigarette, lit the fire, although he knew that smoking in front of An Ruo was very undesirable, but at this time, it seemed that only cigarettes could give him the courage to say the next words.

From beginning to end, An Ruo didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly and didn't stop him. Halfway through the burning, after a few smoke rings, Gu Chu extinguished the smoke.

Reaching out and pulling An Ruo's hand, the warm temperature was transmitted in the handshake, but it could not reach An Ruo's heart. With a low tone mixed with a bit of weakness that is not easy to show, he said, "When I first met you in class, I was surprised. Accompanied by a terrible thought, I want to keep you, keep you by my side, in this way, Xiao Qin will also be there. ”

At this time, An Ruo had withdrawn his hand without a trace, hidden in the light, and his expression was unknown.

Gu Chu's eyes crossed with sadness, and he continued; "I admit that at the beginning, I just kept you for Xiaoqin, but after a long time, I have been unconsciously attracted to you. You are light, not arrogant or impatient, you hold the measure in everything, and you dare not communicate with others, so you make me feel distressed, I was wrong, you and Xiaoqin, are two people, but I fell in love with you, gradually I know that for Xiaoqin, I only have love as a brother rather than love, Ruoruo, you hear, I love you. Holding An Ruo, he looked at her, his expression flickering, with obvious vulnerability and uneasiness.

Cheeks are close to each other, like two scarred trapped beasts, stubbornly absorbing the little warmth left by each other. An Ruo really felt the chill, in the end her love was just a joke, from beginning to end she was just a stand-in, a container carrying the heart.

An Ruo remembered Gu Chu's words before his hospital bed last year, and he said: "Her joys and sorrows have affected him, and he doesn't allow her to get sick." "He said he would give Anruo a home like Sirius, and he even said he was going to marry her... On her birthday, he sang to her in full view of her, telling her that she would always have a song ordering service with him.

The heart began to ache, and little by little, it became more and more profound and obvious, like a pinprick prick. Is it pathetic? Isn't her life sad enough? It's simply a live stage play, and the plot can't help itself.

When she thought so, the corners of her mouth raised a faint smile, like the warm spring that suddenly appeared after the haze of midwinter, trying to keep herself from looking so miserable by smiling.

"How so? Well? After all, she still opened her mouth, her tone was shallow and light, she was asking Gu Chu, and she was also asking herself.

The handsome man looked at her, her eyes were waveless, there was no look in them, and her dark eyes were filled with solidified sadness.

Gu Chuchu mourned, unable to tell whether her words were wringing or her eyes piercing his heart, only to feel that a stream of iron smell was spreading in his throat, and he tasted a sweet smell.

Not sure if there were tears in his eyes, he pursed his lips tightly, and before he was about to be crushed by the pain, he took her in his arms, so tight that it seemed to embed her in his body.

"An Ruo, I was wrong, we forgot about the past and started over, okay?" The hoarse voice mixed with suppressed breathing, but it could no longer burn the roots of her ears.

An Ruo thought, a genius-like person, would be so stupid at this time, "Start over?" Repeat the mistakes of the past again? An Ruo was a little out of control when he said this, his voice was a little low, but the words were very heavy.

The palms of his hands began to be wet, and it was useless to say more, An Ruo's only thought was to escape from his side, such a pain was too painful, entangled and pushed.

"An Ruo, you look at me, I beg you to look at me. I love you, tell me you can feel it, right? Right? Gu Chu's voice trembled a little, with eagerness and weakness.

If ordinary people saw Gu Chu like this, they would have softened their hearts a long time ago, but An Ruo looked at him, completely lost his previous love, only heart-piercing pain.

"You let go, let go..."

The hand around An Ruo's waist gradually tightened, Gu Chu buried his face in her neck, his breathing was warm, and the words he said were indeed difficult: "I'm afraid that if I let you go, I'll leave me forever, don't, Ruoruo, please don't leave me." ”

The person in his arms struggled violently to remain motionless, and in the end, he didn't even have the strength to stand and collapsed in Gu Chu's arms.

Sensing the abnormality, Gu Chu hurriedly pulled her away, and An Ruo in his arms was already pale with his eyes closed, obviously fainting. Breathing unsteadily, looking nervous, he picked her up and drove to the hospital.
