.....

in a taxi.

Uncle Driver looked at Gu Heng who was sitting in the rearview mirror, and grinned, "Hello, where are you going?" ”

"Mausoleum."

"Mausoleum? That's not close," the driver raised his eyebrows and asked as he started the car, "where are you going to the mausoleum?" ”

But this simple and ordinary question in his eyes made Gu Heng a little unable to answer.

Although he has never forgotten that place, seven years have passed, and he does not know if the original family has moved away.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar scenery outside the car window, Gu Heng paused and said,

"Specifically, you can drive over there first, and I'll let you stop when you get there."

"What?" The driver's uncle was stunned.

Although the people of Seoul have indeed become strange with the economic development over the years, he has heard his peers talk about all kinds of strange passengers.

But I didn't expect to meet one today.

Is it the kind of weirdo who wanders around the city in a taxi?

The driver looked at Gu Heng with a subtle expression, and finally chose to drive forward.

Time passes with the scenery flowing outside the car window.

An hour later.

The taxi slowly stops at a traffic light.

The driver looked in the rearview mirror and opened his mouth to try to find something to talk about.

At this moment, Gu Heng in the back seat was looking out the window.

Following Gu Heng's gaze, the driver's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Are you looking at that zelkova tree?" ”

"Yes, this beech tree, many years old, right?"

"Yes, although the zelkova tree is the representative of our Guangjin District, this kind of age and height zelkova tree is rare here, it should be more than ten or twenty years, maybe older than your age haha."

At the end, the driver made a little joke.

Gu Heng turned his head and smiled softly, "That's what you said." By the way, stop at the intersection where you turn left in front of you, it's troublesome. ”

"Oh, okay!"

The driver responded cheerfully.

The streetlights turned green and the taxi stopped around the corner.

Dragging the suitcase, Gu Heng turned into an alley according to his memory.

Although many of the buildings on the roadside have changed a lot, the general road pattern is still the same as before.

After turning three or two lanes, the scene in front of me became familiar little by little.

But at this moment, the sound of a quarrel suddenly came from my ears.

"Hey, just that woman, what's so powerful, she doesn't look beautiful at all!"

"Just that chubby face, you dare to rob one of our oppa!"

"I said you, what a stare! Is there anything wrong with what we said?! Do you want us to teach you a lesson?! Speak! ”

Gu Heng frowned and stopped.

Although some people don't understand what "one" is, it sounds like there are some unpleasant arguments going on in the alleyway next to them.

With a sigh, Gu Heng walked a few steps in the direction of the sound, and the scene in the alleyway came into view.

A few little girls who looked like high school students were surrounding a teenager dressed as the same student with an unkind look.

The young man pursed his lips looked unconvinced, but he forcibly endured it and didn't say a word.

Seeing the young man's face clearly, Gu Heng couldn't help but be stunned.

After a few seconds of trance, Gu Heng let out a long breath, "It's really ......"

It's a reunion scene that I've never imagined.

However, this stubborn and strong appearance is really exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

Gu Heng shook his head and smiled.

But the young man's situation at the moment does not allow him to continue to reminisce and sigh.

Looking at the "saber rattling" on the field, Gu Heng's eyes swept over the words on the school uniforms of several girls, the thoughts flashed in his heart, and then his face turned straight, and he said sharply to several high school students,

"What are you guys doing?! Do you need me to call the academic affairs office of Tongde High School and say that they have a few bad girls? ”

When the words fell, several girls were stunned.

A few seconds later, in the empty alleyway, only Gu Heng and the young man were left looking at each other.

As for the few female high school students, they had already run down the surrounding alleys and didn't know where to go, and none of them even dared to look back at Gu Heng.

The follow-up "lines" prepared by Gu Heng did not come in handy.

The sudden end of the crisis also made the teenager by the wall a little at a loss.

After being stunned for a while, he finally reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Gu Heng, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

But strangely, the bowed position remained for a few seconds, and the young man standing not far from him did not give him any response.

The boy couldn't help but be suspicious.

Just as he was about to straighten up and observe the situation, the man's voice finally came late.

"I said Zhong Xun, when my brother is away, you can't be bullied like this, right? Where's that girl? Is it so unjust? ”

Along with the words came a broad palm resting on the boy's shoulder.

Lee Jong-hoon was stunned and straightened up by this palm.

Staring at the young man's face, he blinked stupidly, "You, you're ......"

The handsome face in front of him was strange and familiar.

It's like a silhouette in the distance, with some effort floating up from the ocean of memory.

Gu Heng wasn't in a hurry, he just smiled and looked at him jokingly, "If I can't think of it anymore, I'm going to be sad." ”

Li Zhongxun's eyes gradually brightened, and his expression became excited, "Gu, Brother Gu Heng!" ”

The excitement even broke his shouting.

Lee Jong-hoon, who didn't have any weakness in confronting several people alone just now, had red eyes at this moment.

"Brother, I, I'm ......"

He gestured, as if he had a lot to say, but he was in a hurry because of this.

Gu Heng looked at the young man's excited and flustered appearance, and his heart was also surging with unspeakable emotions.

Stretching out an arm, Gu Heng hugged the young man who was a head lower than him and patted him on the back, "Yes, I'm back." ”

It took Lee Jong-hoon for a while to barely collect his emotions, but he was still a little excited.

He snatched the suitcase from Gu Heng's hand and grabbed it tightly, as if he was afraid that Gu Heng would turn around and leave.

"Brother, let's go! I'll take you home! Abba and Oh Mom have always missed you! Let's go! ”

Gu Heng let him drag himself forward.

"Haven't uncles and aunts moved all these years?"

"Of course not! Oh, Mom said, when you left, you didn't leave any mailing address, if we moved away, then when you come back, how will you find us? ”

"Seoul is so big, it's not easy to find someone!"

Li Zhongxun explained, his tone was full of reason, as if he was sure of Gu Heng's arrival today.

Looking at the young man who walked in front of him and had grown a lot taller, Gu Heng was speechless for a while.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Lee Jong-hoon turned back uneasily.

"No," Gu Heng shook his head and rubbed Li Zhongxun's hair, "Brother thinks it's good." ”

Lee Jong-hoon first grinned, and then shook his head in annoyance,

"Brother, don't rub my hair like that woman!"
