Chapter 2 Chance Encounter with Camphor

Back at home, the younger brother didn't seem to have returned, and the stepmother and father's bedroom were still shining.

Gu Xiyan entered the kitchen lightly, ready to pour tea and drink. But the stepmother's high-pitched and somewhat excited voice sounded in the room: "...... If you don't say it, then it's up to me. It's not that you don't know what's going on now...... Xiaobao's girlfriend is pregnant...... We are also people who raise children and daughters, so can'......t we still let our daughters have abortions?"

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised, he didn't expect his brother, who was five years younger than him, to be a father soon!

"This, this ......," the father's voice was weak, "aren't you like this, don't you want to drive her away?" ”

When the stepmother heard this, her tone became even more angry: "What do you mean by that...... Since I married into your family, have you not counted in your heart what I have done to your daughter, and have you not counted in your daughter's heart...... Not to mention anything else, there are two bedrooms and one living room at home, I let Xiyan sleep in one, and let my biological son sleep in the living room, and one sleep is ten years...... But this time it's different, Xiaobao is getting married! We can't afford to buy him a house, so we have to give him a room to live in......"

The father was silent.

The stepmother's voice was a little crying: "I've been a good person for so many years, and I still care about these days...... Isn't there really no way out? ”

Gu Xiyan could already understand it, her face became hot, and a trace of shame rose in her heart. The stepmother's words make sense, my father is just an ordinary middle school teacher, and my stepmother has long been laid off at home, and now that prices have risen so much, the living expenses given by Gu Xiyan are simply a drop in the bucket......

Empathy, I may not be able to do better than her!

Gu Xiyan walked out of the house in silence.

But when he left the house, Gu Xiyan had nowhere to go.

She stood in the middle of the road for a long time, ran to the supermarket to buy a few cans of beer, sat down next to the road and began to drink.

Gu Xiyan is usually a person who pays more attention to his image, and he has received a lot of relevant training in the workplace, but today for some reason, he always wants to indulge in his heart.

After drinking, the things in front of him became a little blurry, Gu Xiyan stumbled to his feet, he didn't know where to go, he didn't want to go home anyway.

Some taxi drivers stopped in front of Gu Xiyan: "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the driver and felt that his eyebrows were honest, so he leaned on the window and asked him: "Do you know that there is a camphor forest, planted with real camphor, when the wind blows, the fragrance is hidden from time to time......

The driver smiled haughtily: "That place is a famous love forest, why don't you know, get in the car, I'll send you to ......"

Gu Xiyan got into the car, and the driver chattered: "...... Isn't it a big deal to fall out of love...... I see that the young lady is well-dressed, she must be a white-collar worker, people like you are very thoughtful, everything is in your heart, and when you are not satisfied, you only dare to drink and sprinkle drunken madness...... Go there to mourn the lost love affair and collect your heart, there is no grass in the world......"

Gu Xiyan looked at the neon lights flashing like meteors outside the window, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow.

If her mother is still alive, Gu Xiyan will cry loudly when she falls out of love, complain loudly when she is unhappy, and blame loudly when she is wronged...... But Gu Xiyan can't ...... Perhaps, Gu Xiyan didn't dare to ...... People who don't really care about you, how can they really be sad for you, your crying, what are you doing now, it's just a farce in the eyes of others...... Gu Xiyan felt that his situation was already very sad, why bother letting people watch the free eight-and-a-half plot again...... That would only make you feel more pitiful......

Gu Xiyan returned to the camphor forest, smelling the unique fragrance of camphor, she felt much better than just now.

There were obviously a lot fewer people on the carved bench than when Gu Xiyan first came, and Gu Xiyan walked around the path in the forest, trying to find the bench where he and Xiaolin had sit. After turning around a few times in a daze, I couldn't find the north at all, and there was no one around me. It may be because of the drinking, but Gu Xiyan's body became hot, and she impatiently found a bench and sat down.

Looking up at the sky, she saw for the first time that the moon was so bright, so bright, so cold......

When was the last time you admired the moon like this?

Gu Xiyan can't remember clearly, life is too busy. No, it's not a reason, it's an excuse. No, it's just the mood!

She lay down on the bench casually, looked at the gray-blue sky, smelled the fragrance of the camphor tree, and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Xiyan woke up suddenly.

It was quiet, even the wind seemed to be still, and a faint mist surrounded the motionless branches, without a sound.

How do you fall asleep in a place like this?

It seems that drunk can really ******, if there is a "midnight ****" or something like that at this time......

Gu Xiyan was sweating through her clothes when she thought about it, so she immediately sat up and took out her mobile phone.

Don't know what time it is?

The phone has turned off automatically.

Forget it, I just won't come home all night, and I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep because of this!

Looking at the scenery composed of dark green tree shadows and white mountain mist, which was as beautiful as a Chinese static pastel painting, Gu Xiyan felt much better. It is rare to have this kind of quiet mentality in life, and she couldn't help but sit quietly for a while. But those trivial things in life are like little fleas, which make you uncomfortable. I've been living at home for ten years, and now it's time to move out. The stepmother said well, they were all raised by their parents, and the girl will be her brother-in-law in the future, and she will have a three-point affection, so that they can meet in the future...... Although they are not siblings of the same father and mother, they are always the most related to themselves in this world...... And moving out to live is not a matter of life and death, what can't be let go, and many of my colleagues live in rented houses outside, and some of them have less income than themselves......

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan's heart, which had always been a little hesitant, settled down slightly. She got up and stretched, then took a deep breath and secretly "cheered" herself before she got up and prepared to go home.

At this moment, a timid voice suddenly came from behind him: "Sister, sister, please stay!" ”

Gu Xiyan turned around.

Behind the bench, a thick camphor tree poked out a girl's face as white as a pear blossom, and waist-length hair rippled behind her.

Gu Xiyan looked around, only the two of them, and confirmed with a smile: "Are you calling me?" ”

The girl nodded and stepped out from behind the camphor tree.

The girl's facial features are very magnificent, and there is still childishness between her eyebrows, but a pair of big black and white eyes have a domineering look. She asked Gu Xiyan arrogantly: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled. This girl is very thin and has no curves, although she is about 1.62 meters tall, but at first glance she knows that she is a little girl in development, no more than fifteen years old at most. She was wearing a moon-white silk long-sleeved trousers pajamas with two sections of left and right, glowing with the unique cocoon of silk in the moonlight, and the hands stretched out from the sleeves were as white as clotted fat, slender as green onions, and the nails were neatly cut into small moon buds......

When the girl saw Gu Xiyan looking at her, she immediately sank her face: "What are you looking at?" ”

How could Gu Xiyan have a problem with a little girl who doesn't know the world? She laughed and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The girl bit her delicate lips like peach blossoms, her expression was slightly unnatural, and her voice lowered a little, and said, "I, I'm lost......"

I said, how can there be a single little girl wandering in the woods so late?

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with this place, let's all accompany us, do you think it?" ”

As soon as the little girl heard Gu Xiyan say that she was willing to walk out of this forest with her, her face showed a joy like a flash of dawn, she stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Gu Xiyan's arm, sighed long, and said, "Sister, thank you for meeting you." I've been walking around this forest for most of the night...... I'm so scared! ”

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Although she looks like she doesn't get along well, she's a little girl after all...... And it's a bit strong on the outside and dry on the middle!

Gu Xiyan took her in a random direction and walked forward along the path.

On the way, the little girl turned her head sideways and asked Gu Xiyan, "Sister, what's your name?" The arrogance in her expression was revealed, destroying her quiet beauty like a white pear blossom. Gu Xiyan felt sorry for her, but after thinking about it, why bother to manage so many people when they meet in Pingshui? She introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Gu Xiyan." ”

"Really?" The little girl jumped up, "My name is Gu Xiyan!" ”

Gu Xiyan was really a little surprised. The name Xiyan is a bit literary, it is said that when she was pregnant with Xiyan, her mother was fascinated by Qiong Yao's novels, Gu Xiyan lived to be twenty-five years old, and she has not met a person with the same name as herself, let alone the same surname. Gu Xiyan immediately felt more affectionate for this little girl in her heart.

The little girl chirped and said, "I was born at dusk, so my father named me Xiyan, and I also have a sister, she is about the same age as you, called Chaorong, and she was born when the sun was just born." You say it's funny, it's not funny. I once asked Duan Niang, why isn't my sister called Rising Sun, it's much better than Chaorong......" Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Xiyan with some embarrassment, "Sister, I have a lot to say!" Duan Niang said that we are about to arrive in Shengjing, and we have to look like Miss Gu, so that I can talk less in the future......"

Gu Xiyan herself is ill-fated and forbearant in trouble, but she likes those little girls who are a little willful the most, and feels that this is the mark of a happy life, because she has relied on it, because she has never seen something dark...... Just like a plant, it grows leaves when it should grow leaves, and blooms when it should bloom, which is a natural growth. Therefore, she patted the hand of the girl named Gu Xiyan and herself with the same name and surname, and comforted her: "No, I love to listen to you, you are as cheerful as a bird, I like it very much." ”

The little girl was really happy to hear Gu Xiyan's words, her attitude towards Gu Xiyan became more affectionate, she leaned her head on Gu Xiyan's shoulder, and said, "Sister, I like you too." Duanniang doesn't like me like this, she always cares about everything, one will say that I speak like a child and can't speak clearly, and the other will say that I am unsteady in my behavior and walking...... You don't know, she also hired a singer to teach me pronunciation, which really me off. Those lowly plays, let me learn from them......"

Gu Xiyan was shocked when she heard this.
