Gu Huai didn't speak, but Xiao Xiao was very familiar with this process.

She smiled and said to Uncle Mo, "Okay, but I'm going abroad again soon, and I'll bring you a handsome guy with blonde hair and blue eyes back when the time comes." ”

Uncle Mo couldn't open his eyes with laughter.

After eating wontons, Gu Huai bought a pancake on the side of the road and ate it while walking.

Nowadays, there are many shops in the town, and it looks like it is quite prosperous.

Xiao Xiao walked beside Gu Huai with his bag and did not follow him to eat pancakes.

The large portion of the ravioli already made her feel full, and she didn't need to eat anymore.

After eating the pancakes, Gu Huai bought another fried bun and walked to a private house.

On the first floor, there was an open room with a few children sitting in it. Li Zimin was standing in front of the blackboard and was teaching them math.

Gu Huai and Xiao Xiao stood at the door and listened for a while, until the bell rang for school, and Li Zimin found them.

"Brother Huai!"

Li Zimin was still not steady at all, and rushed to Gu Huai's side.

His hair had grown up, and he had a lot of stubble, which looked a little messy. But his eyes are bright and he is very energetic.

Gu Huai gave him a bag of pancakes: "Your brother asked me to take care of you." ”

Li Zimin took the pancake, took two bites, and said vaguely:

"He's just nosy."

The mouth complains, and the eyes are full of happiness.

He was eating pancakes, only to find out that there was a woman beside Gu Huai.

Xiao Xiao smiled at him slightly.

Li Zimin jumped to his feet: "Damn! Xiao Xiao! Have you returned home? They didn't even say a word to me! ”

Xiao Xiao smiled: "Didn't you just come back?" ”

Li Zimin couldn't eat the pancakes, wiped his mouth, and hurried home with the children watching the excitement next to him: "This can't be a bureau?" Wait, I'll call them together. You're so uninteresting, just go, don't say hello, wait, give me half an hour......"

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the sauerkraut fish shop at the entrance of the central school.

Li Zimin even thoughtfully ordered his favorite beef intestines for Gu Huai.

Everyone raised their glasses and celebrated, and they were beaming.

Xiao Xiao didn't eat much, she just finished breakfast, and she couldn't eat at all.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Huai, who was still carrying chopsticks, grabbing the last two pieces of meat with Li Zimin.

Xiao Xiao became more and more silent.

Everyone dispersed, and only Gu Huai and Xiao Xiao remained.

Gu Huai's mood seemed to be very good, he walked to the door and stopped in front of another stall.

Xiao Xiao suddenly said, "Have you suffered any trauma before?" ”

Gu Huai stopped moving.

He left the stall.

Xiao Xiao chased after him.

"My brother was traveling with me, there was a psychologist, and he said that you have PTSD. Relieve your stress by eating. Ah Gu, can you tell me what is on your mind, I ......"

Gu Huai: "No. ”

He didn't give Xiao Xiao any chance to speak.

Xiao Xiao bit her lip and did not continue to stimulate Gu Huai.

Unlike Xiao Xiao's imagination, Gu Huai didn't care too much about this matter, and he didn't feel that Xiao Xiao had crossed the line.

In fact, there is some truth in what she said, but it is not entirely true.

This small quarrel, Gu Huai didn't take it to heart.

The red lights of the system turned on more and more frequently, telling him that it was time to leave, Gu Huai set a time to leave, and told everyone that he was going to give himself a holiday.

There was no objection from the crowd.

After all, he hasn't rested much, and the garment factory and pharmaceutical company were all founded by him.

On the day Xiao Xiao left, everyone came to see her off.

She watched Gu Huai standing outside the crowd in a black windbreaker, and always felt that this was the last time she saw him.

She laughed at her strange thoughts, and she didn't pay much attention to them, but the uneasiness became more and more obvious, especially after the plane landed.

But with so many people waiting for her treatment, she didn't have the heart to think about it.

Putting on a white coat, Xiao Xiao was busy among the wounded and started a new round of fighting.

When I learned the news of Gu Huai's disappearance, it was already a year later.

Xiao Xiao didn't close his eyes after three days of surgery, and he felt a little dazzled.

She sat down slowly against the railing, not breathing for a long time.

"Doctor Xiao? Dr. Siu? ”

A nurse dressed in pink came to inquire.

Xiao Xiao waved his hand, leaving his personal emotions behind: "This patient needs to be observed again, I will go and rest for a while, and then you will let Dr. Li take over the other patients, and wait for me to come back." ”

The nurse nodded.

Dr. Xiao's medical skills are obvious to all, and she seems to be the backbone of this place.

Xiao Xiao looked at the backward conditions and the moaning and groaning patients here, and suppressed the last trace of the thought of going back in his heart.

Twenty years later --

At the alumni meeting of the central school, Li Chunhua, who has retired, stood in front of the stage, crying and laughing: "I am really happy that everyone can come, and the thing I am most proud of is to bring a group of students like you." ”

Teacher Li helped her down and patted him on the back.

Li Zimin sat at the table, looking at Li Chunhua, and somewhat understood his mother's thoughts.

He took over his mother's baton, and there will be a day when the world will be full of peaches and plums.

His gaze involuntarily fell on an empty seat next to him.

At the same time, there is also a big tiger looking here.

Dahu smiled: "I don't know if Brother Huai will come." ”

Everyone was silent, and there was a rare silence.

Gu Huai disappeared on his own initiative.

The reason for this is that after he left, he did not buy a ticket to any place, and no one saw his whereabouts.

It was as if he had evaporated from the world and left here.

They called the police, but they had to stop because they didn't have any clues.

No one knows his whereabouts, but everyone is convinced of one thing:

He must still be alive.

Every time they gathered, they would leave such an empty seat and wait for Gu Huai to come back. Even if everyone has such a hunch in their hearts --

He's not coming back.

After Gu Huai left, everything was still on track, and it seemed that there was no difference.

Li Zhonghua has developed another new drug, which has also been put on the market.

Dahu's business has grown bigger and he has become a well-known entrepreneur.

Even Gu Xiaowu began to manage the garment factory and became a strong woman.

She sent her children to school and taught her to be like her uncle.

Whenever this happens, Nian Nian always asks his mother, "Is my uncle's health better?" When will he come back and hug Nian Nian? ”

Every time I heard this, all the adults would be silent, and my mother would even shed tears.

Sensible people know every year that everyone doesn't like to hear this sentence.

When she was older, she didn't mention it again.

After several years, Xiao Xiao finally returned to China and was interviewed by the national media.

When someone asked her about the people and things she loved the most, Xiao Xiao smiled calmly: "I love peace, and I hope that every corner of this world will be free from war, and everyone can stay away from pain." ”
