Time is wrapped in resentment that is difficult to eliminate, and winter is quietly coming.

The mountains and rivers were frozen, the warmth was frozen, and after the first snow fell in early winter, the entire city of A was wrapped in pure white snowflakes. The howling cold wind invaded the coat manically, and the chill invaded the flesh and bones, like a sharp sword without temperature, slashing through all the sunlight.

In the bar, the chill is even worse.

Wei Lan stood at the door of the lounge, raised his hand a few times but didn't knock on the door, he didn't know how to face Gu Xiu in the house, it had been half a month since Zhong Qing left, Gu Xiu was like crazy, he had lost everything, he locked himself in the house all day to get drunk, and he didn't know life and death without asking about foreign affairs.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Lan opened the door of the lounge, and what greeted him was a mess, the smell of wine and smoke was mixed together, and there was a strong smell of blood, Gu Xiu was sitting on the desk, the knuckles of his hands were dripping blood, the sandbags in front of him had been broken, and the sand was covered with blood beads.

The promise that used to be like a flower blooming in front of the gate of hell, its beauty carried the sadness of death, just like the various promises that Gu Xiu had promised Zhong Qing, and now it wanted to be a thorn in his chest.

Gu Xiu often woke up from dreams, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, if he was still alive, why was his body cold and not a little warm, if he was already dead, why was there such a real figure accompanied by the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow?

Gu Xiu was tired, he was really tired, after he lost everything, he felt that the fact of being alive was enough to ruin him.

"Second Master......" Wei Lan knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, and he pleaded: "Wake up, Second Master!" I beg you...... Wake up! ”

Gu Xiu squinted his eyes, the wine bottle in his hand was already empty, he didn't seem to hear what Wei Lan said, he reached out to reach the wine next to him, but accidentally fell to the ground.

Does it hurt? Maybe.

However, this kind of pain is not as good as what Zhong Qing said when she left, she said:

"I don't owe you anything."

Half a year later, in a senior nursing home in country M, Gu Ziyu found Zhong Qing, who had disappeared for a long time, according to the address, she was pushing a wheelchair, and the person sitting on the wheelchair was Xu Ruo.

Gu Ziyu was shocked, she had done psychological construction for a long time before she dared to walk in front of Zhong Qing, who turned her head and saw Gu Ziyu, very surprised.

Xu Ruo said softly: "I sent a message to her to come over, you have been with me here for more than a month, I am worried that you will be bored." ”

Zhong Qing turned his head to look at him, silently put the blanket on his knees, Xu Ruo looked at her with a smile, Zhong Qing blinked, and didn't say anything.

Gu Ziyu handed the bouquet he was holding to Xu Ruo, and then scratched the back of his head crampedly: "That...... I didn't know what you liked, so I bought flowers, hmm...... Isn't it a bit out of place? ”

"Not bad." Xu Ruo smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and said in a good mood: "You talk first, and I'll send the flowers back to the ward first." ”

Seeing Xu Ruo's difficulty in pushing the wheelchair independently, Zhong Qing wanted to reach out to help, but Xu Ruo shook his head at her: "Give yourself a day off, Xiaoqing, I can take care of myself." ”

Looking at Xu Ruo's back manipulating the wheelchair to leave, Gu Ziyu covered his mouth, and silent tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Zhong Qing, our Gu family is sorry for you, and even more sorry for Xu Ruo. Gu Ziyu pulled Zhong Qing's clothes and cried bitterly. In addition to these three words, she doesn't know what she is qualified to say, it seems that she can't find other words in this world that can express her guilt, Gu Ziyu's heart is like a knife, even if the current situation is not caused by her, but the person who caused this consequence is her own eldest brother.

Zhong Qing touched Gu Ziyu's head, and the light smile on the corner of her mouth was almost the same as half a year ago, but Gu Ziyu felt that something had changed.

The two went to a café near the sanatorium, Zhong Qing, who had not left the hospital for more than half a year, stretched her waist, Gu Ziyu ordered a cup of coffee, and Zhong Qing ordered a cappuccino.

"How are you doing these days?" Gu Ziyu cautiously probed.

Zhong Qing smiled and didn't speak, took a big sip of cappuccino, the sweet taste melted in her mouth, she pursed her lips, and finally spoke: "I used to like to drink coffee, but now, I prefer to eat sweet things." ”

Because the days are hard, so I want to try sweetness with all my ability, Zhong Qing doesn't know how she has spent more than half a year, except for the time to sleep, she and Xu Ruo are inseparable, the doctors and nurses in the nursing home all say that Xu Ruo is so blessed, with such a good girlfriend to take care of, whenever she hears such words, Zhong Qing's smile will become unnatural.

At the same time, Xu Ruohui shook his head slightly helplessly: "She'snotmygirlfriend...... yet.” Then in Chinese, he said, "But I'm pursuing her." ”

The doctor didn't understand the latter sentence, Zhong Qing heard it clearly, but she didn't know how to answer Xu Ruo.

"You...... Do you want to take care of Xu Ruo all the time? ”

"I owe him a leg." Zhong Qing didn't answer Gu Ziyu's question directly, she just said, "I won't leave him until he can stand up." ”

Gu Ziyu said: "But I asked the doctor, Xu Ruo's leg nerve is seriously damaged, and his chances of standing up for the rest of his life are ...... Almost zero. ”

So in other words, does Zhong Qing have to take care of Xu Ruo for the rest of his life? Gu Ziyu swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhong Qing in disbelief, who nodded, confirming Gu Ziyu's guess.

"It's not fair to you, this, this is Gu Zihan's fault, why should you bear it?" Gu Ziyu was a little anxious, she couldn't bear to watch her best friend live in guilt for the rest of her life.

Zhong Qing changed the topic and said, "What is the situation of the four major families now?" ”

Gu Ziyu sighed: "The Gu family and the Xu family are incompatible, the two forces are fighting upside down, Uncle Xu found someone to seriously injure Gu Zihan and cut off two of his fingers, my mother is very angry......"

"Grandma Zhou tried to reconcile in the middle, but Uncle Xu hated the Gu family because of Xu Ruo's affairs, and released the news, the Xu family and the Gu family have been inseparable from now on, the Zhong family is very low-key, and neither side is in line, but I heard that Uncle Zhong and Aunt Chu have separated, Zhong Nian seems to be about to give birth, and the other is Gu Xiu's ......"

Zhong Qing saw that when Gu Ziyu mentioned Gu Xiu, her whole person suddenly shuddered, she frowned, and only heard Gu Ziyu slowly speak: "Gu Xiu left the Gu Group, and there has been no news since then, I once tried to go to the Tianqi Bar to find him, but I was stopped outside by his people." Wei Lan said that Yun Ling's death hit him hard......"

"Bang-"

The cup fell on the table, and the contents spilled, and the waiter not far away hurriedly ran to wipe the table, Gu Ziyu looked at Zhong Qing's shocked expression, a little dazed.

"How is that possible...... You said Aunt Yun...... He's dead? Zhong Qing muttered, "No, it's possible...... I hid in the hospital for a long time...... After hearing the news that her condition was stable...... Only, just left, how could it be ......"

Gu Ziyu shook his head: "The third brother said that Yun Ling's injuries when she was kidnapped were treated in time and she was discharged from the hospital after her condition stabilized, but she suddenly had a serious drug rejection reaction later, and she couldn't save it...... So Gu Xiu could only watch her die......"

So what did you do in the first place? I wanted to protect Yun Ling and reunite Gu Xiu and Yun Ling's mother and son, but what was the result? Yun Ling still left, and lost all Gu Xiu for a while, what was he going to do...... Zhong Qing's scalp was numb, and she didn't dare to imagine what Gu Xiu was like now.

"The situation of the four major families is not very good, a group called 'Y-ing' suddenly appeared, and robbed nearly half of the business circle of the four major families in half a year, especially our family, and now my father is anxious every day, and it is rumored that the Gu group may be going bankrupt."

"No one has ever seen the face of the boss of that group, but I can think of a person ......" Gu Ziyu stopped halfway through her words, Zhong Qing knew who the name she was going to say was, and he was the only one who could quickly grow into such a terrifying existence in more than half a year.

The only one who can compete with the four major families with the strength of one person is Gu Xiu.

It's false to say that she is not worried, in the more than half a year that she has taken care of Xu Ruo in country M, Zhong Qing has been missing Gu Xiu every day, she has to do her best to restrain herself, not to go to him, not to inquire about any news from him, maybe in Gu Xiu's heart, Zhong Qing is dead, right?

"Your studio, Zhou Han and I have been taking care of it." Gu Ziyu's words brought Zhong Qing back to her senses, she shook her head and said:

"When I left suddenly, my work was still put on hold, and you must have suffered a lot if you persevered until now, right?"

"I want to make amends, whether it's you, Xu Ruo, or second brother, I want to do everything I can to apologize to you." Gu Ziyu said: "I finally understand why the second brother did not hesitate to fall out with his family and went to study medicine, because he wanted to save more people and atone for his father and eldest brother." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Ziyu's hands were trembling, she was forced to grow up overnight, and saw Gu Zihan with a knife in his chest being sent to the emergency room, and heard Gu Zihan admit that he did everything, and now, every time she sees the two fingers of Gu Zihan's left hand, she will have nightmares.

"Zhong Qing, I'm sorry." Gu Ziyu said: "I know that these three words have no effect on you, but as long as I can help you, please just tell me." ”

"Take care of yourself, don't worry about me." Zhong Qing reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, looked at Gu Ziyu, who was in tears, shook her head, and said, "I don't have anything to say, so be it......"
