Chapter Twenty-Four: Returning to Loneliness (New Books for Collection, Recommendation)
With his eyes closed, Gu Cheng sat quietly on the bed in the rental house.
In his mind, Gu Cheng resurfaced the bits and pieces of his past relationship with Chen Siyu, spanning hundreds of years of memory barriers.
Today's Gu Cheng, who has returned from hundreds of years, has long been very different from the previous indecisive appearance.
After all, it is an old guy who has lived for hundreds of years, hundreds of years of experience and experience there, and there have been many difficult things to choose, and now it seems that it is like that.
"I think we should have a good talk, see you tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the café. ”
sent a message to Chen Siyu, but he didn't say anything about the café, and he didn't care if the other side replied to the message.
Gu Cheng threw the phone to the side, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
And Chen Siyu, who received the message, looked at the content of the message.
I didn't know what to do, and I seemed a little more relieved in my heart?
It's like a person who is about to face trial, and finally waits for her verdict.
......
The next afternoon, after the rain café.
This is the café that the two of them used to frequent, and it is also the place where that relationship began.
By the window, Gu Cheng fiddled with the cup in front of him, and only half a cup of lemonade was left in the cup and shook it.
The afternoon sunlight outside the window poured in, through the canopy outside the window, shining on Gu Cheng's side face.
The angular face and drooping gaze made Gu Cheng's handsome face a little more inexplicably free and easy.
At the door, someone walked in.
The footsteps are getting closer......
Still looking at the half glass of water in front of him, he didn't need to look up, just hearing the familiar footsteps, Gu Chengcheng knew that it was Chen Siyu who came.
The footsteps came to Gu Cheng, it was Chen Siyu.
"Come on, sit down. ”
Chen Siyu sat down opposite Gu Cheng, with an inexplicable look on his face.
Gu Cheng raised his head and quietly looked at the beautiful face in front of him.
Smiling, Gu Cheng asked, "What do you want to drink this time?"
As he spoke, he looked back at the waiter.
"Lemonade bar. ”
Looking at Gu Cheng's smile, Chen Siyu seemed to let go of some worries in his heart and returned to his usual look.
Beckoning the waiter to come over, Gu Cheng asked for a glass of lemonade and ordered a few desserts that Chen Siyu usually liked.
Seeing that Gu Cheng was still taking care of his preferences at this time, Chen Siyu originally felt that there were layers of waves in the lake of his heart, which he had already felt was already calm.
The golden sunlight shone through the glass window, and in the sunlight, the two young men were silent.
There was some long silence.
Desserts that have been on the table for a long time, no one touches them.
"How are you doing lately?" Gu Cheng said.
"It's alright, what about you?"
Gu Cheng didn't answer, "There have been a lot of things recently, so there are very few contacts, and the messy time flies too quickly, and it's been more than two months." ”
"Well, yes, time flies. Chen Siyu's face was a little more unnatural.
"I know a lot of things, too. ”
Gu Cheng stared at the cup in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face that made Chen Siyu feel extremely unfamiliar.
Gu Cheng continued, "I can understand, but it's hard to accept it in my heart." It makes me think it's a deception......"
Chen Siyu lowered his head, his expression was a little stiff, his eyes wandered between the cup in his hand and the dessert on the table in front of him, he looked up and wanted to say something, but in the end he still lowered his head and was silent.
Gu Cheng didn't look up at Chen Siyu, just rubbed and turned the cup in his hand, looking at the lemonade that was only half left in the cup, and kept rubbing and turning.
"Actually, I asked you to come over today just to sort things out with you. ”
Gu Cheng leaned back in the seat and looked at Chen Siyu, "Can you tell me what you think first?"
"Gu Cheng, in fact, I ......"
Chen Siyu wanted to speak and stopped.
Gu Chengcheng looked at the familiar beautiful person in front of him so quietly, waiting for her next step.
Chen Siyu still didn't say anything after all.
In the end, just in the soft music, a soft "I'm sorry" floated to Gu Cheng's ears.
After understanding the thoughts of the person in front of him, although Gu Cheng had already prepared in his heart, he did not value this relationship as much as he did before he was reborn.
But Gu Cheng still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Leaning back on the back of the sofa, Gu Cheng glanced at the pedestrians of all kinds in the window.
Then, Gu Cheng said, "Okay, I understand what you said." ”
"Since you have decided, then I respect your decision!" One last glance at the beautiful face in front of him, Gu Cheng got up.
"Then let's stop here...... I'll go first, you take care of yourself later. ”
Leaving his seat, Gu Cheng walked towards the door.
When he passed by Chen Siyu's side, Gu Cheng's left hand was suddenly grabbed......
"Gu Cheng ......"
Lowering his head, tears had already fallen in Chen Siyu's eyes, after all, the relationship of several years was not false.
Seeing the tears in the eyes of the girl reading her name in front of her, Gu Cheng was also quite emotional in his heart.
Turning around, Gu Cheng squatted down gently.
Reach out and brush away the hair scattered on the girl's face in front of her, and wipe the tears from her face.
Gu Cheng looked at her, "You have to see clearly what you want in your heart, see it clearly, decide, then go on bravely!"
"Chen Siyu ......" Gu Cheng put his right hand on Chen Siyu's head, and gently stroked it twice as he had done in the past three years.
Gu Cheng said: "In the past three years, I have been very happy with you, I have to thank you!"
Then, slowly but firmly, Gu Cheng withdrew his hand from Chen Siyu's hand.
Chen Siyu watched Gu Cheng's gaze sweep over his face, and he no longer looked as gentle as he once was.
Through the dark pupils in his eyes, all he could see was coldness, alienation, and strangeness.
It's like watching a stranger passing by on the street.
Looking at Gu Cheng who turned to leave, Chen Siyu suddenly felt a little more flustered in his heart, and the choice he had confirmed in his heart before now seemed to be not so certain.
Looking at the familiar back, Chen Siyu felt that something seemed to be missing in his heart.
Gu Cheng, who walked out of the café, after ending this relationship, Gu Cheng's heart was a little more stable.
Gu Cheng, who grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, has been lonely, introverted, and sensitive in his heart, and at the same time, he is extremely eager for family affection that he has never experienced.
Later, with Chen Siyu, that somewhat sweet and jerky feeling was already a pillar in Gu Cheng's heart, supporting Gu Cheng's entire world.
It is precisely because he cares so much that Gu Cheng in the past will inevitably have some gains and losses.
That's why after the breakup, Gu Cheng's world collapsed.
also made Gu Cheng enter the other world through the spatial crack without hesitation.
But in Gu Cheng's long life later, these only accounted for a small part.
In the other world, in the desperate fighting and escaping from death again and again after getting the adventure, what is full of Gu Cheng's life and thoughts in the future is the heart of perseverance and strengthening.
It is the pursuit of immortality, eternal ambition!
Under the red sunset, it is a back to loneliness.
