Chapter 45: Let go
These thoughts flashed through her mind, and suddenly she was so stupid that she had hidden all the secrets in her heart, and only she knew the bitterness, so stupid!
She shook her head, shook off these weird thoughts, gestured to Gu Wentao, and walked forward.
In the alley of their house, there is an abandoned military command point, the yard is very large, I don't know when, it has long been overgrown with weeds, and the house is in disrepair and uninhabited, and the roof is about to collapse.
That is, some children in the neighborhood usually play in the open space in front of the gate, but the adults have told them not to go to the house inside, for fear that the papier-mΓ’chΓ© house will fall and smash people.
It's cold now, it's noon time to eat, but no one comes here, the place is clean enough.
Zeng Yirou stood in the leeward part of the courtyard, then turned around and looked at Gu Wentao seriously.
The last time we met at school, because she thought that Zhou Zizhen was going to come to find her that day, and she didn't know how to get along with Gu Wentao, she kept hypnotizing herself and didn't pay attention to him.
Now, when the two of them were standing together, she found that Gu Wentao was already very tall at this time, at least one meter seventy, and in a few years, he would grow even longer, and finally grow to one meter eighty-two.
But after I went to high school, my height didn't change much.
Envious and frustrated.
After looking up carefully, I found that Gu Wentao at this time was still very immature, not as steady and gentle as he was after a few years of work, always smiling, which made people look at it, and couldn't help but feel happy.
It's rare for him to keep his face strained at this moment, trying to pretend to be serious.
However, no matter how much I felt, I was gone.
Over the years, she has been telling herself to let go.
In her previous life, she didn't let go.
So, I lost my own life.
In this life, she has her mother to protect, Grandma Zhou and Brother Yiming to treat well, her studies to work hard, and the exploration of the new skill of embroidery,...... These are too busy, how can I have time to think about my ex-husband in my previous life, and look at what a distant relationship!
Thinking of this so-called "ex-husband in her previous life", she suddenly felt relaxed, chuckled, and asked calmly: "Gu Wentao, you are so far away, what did you come to Guxian to find us?"
If you want to apologize, I can tell you right now that you don't have to.
It's not your doing, and I won't repay my mother's debts and spill all my grievances on you.
Besides, I'm doing well and I'm happy now.
For me, it's just a change of place to live, a change of school, and new teachers and classmates to get to know and adapt, and these are not a problem.
You see, my relaxed and happy appearance now is completely out of sincerity, without a little reluctance, so, isn't it, you can lighten the burden in your heart and not blame yourself too much?
If you insist on apologizing, then I accept it and forgive you!
Look, can we end up here? β
Facing Zeng Yirou's serious eyes, Gu Wentao wanted to nod, this was also his original intention for this trip, she said it for herself and explained it clearly.
However, when she heard it, "draw a full stop", she was trying to draw a line with herself!
Is he a flood beast?
She needs to be so guarded, and she doesn't want to leave any traces in her life?!
He was so unwilling!
Obviously, he has known her for half a year, why has she never laughed and talked to him as lively and cheerful as she did with Qian Yiming?
Even when they danced together, trained together, and studied together, she was always reserved, as if she was an outsider.
Isn't he good enough?
Can't she even see her own existence?
However, he didn't know where these strong emotions came from and how he should deal with them.
Suppressing these inexplicable emotions, he let himself say as calmly as possible: "You have finished everything I want to say, and let me say something?!" Can I say, you know me too well, know everything I think and think? β
Zeng Yirou's body was imperceptibly stiff.
Of course, she knew him very well, better than he thought, they were once the closest people, they could have had two lovely children, they could have a happy family......
One is ignorant, the other is cowardly, and the beauty of life is buried in falsehood and compromise.
She didn't start a little unnaturally, and said: "What do you say, we have also been at the same table for half a year, and we have also been trained together and sweated classmates, if I say that I don't know you at all, will you let me be your dance partner?!" β
If you know me and have become my dance partner, why do you try to distance ourselves from each other and drive me away?
Gu Wentao had an impulse in his heart and yelled at her all these inner words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
He asked himself: Obviously he came to apologize, and then untie the knot and start a new life, why, now do he have to continue to pull the two of them into the unclear past and entangle? This is obviously contrary to the original intention of coming this time.
Reason and emotion are at war.
"I feel as if I never got to know you seriously. Were you so lively and cheerful before? Why didn't we see you joke so unscrupulously when we were at the same table? β
As soon as the words landed, Gu Wentao wanted to bite off his tongue and say okay, sober? How can this kind of transgression be spoken.
Zeng Yirou didn't notice the abnormality, after all, she had mixed too much influence on the relationship between the two in her previous life, and she couldn't tell the difference, they weren't very familiar now, and they were so familiar that they could talk about it.
She also said a little snortfully: "No, I guess it's because of a new environment and thinking about changing myself, that's why I'm like this."
Moreover, Brother Yiming takes good care of me, we get along very well, and there is no difference between real relatives, which is why I am so relaxed. β
It's okay not to explain, but after explaining, Gu Wentao was so angry that he wanted to hammer himself twice.
"So I'm an outsider? The little bits and pieces we get along, my care, what is it to you? Can't you see my concern? β
Zeng Yirou felt that the topic between them was so awkward? Shouldn't they talk about his mom and then get the problem out of the way and it's over?
What does this have to do with outsiders and relatives?
