......

The cicadas chirp in the afternoon was so loud that it didn't stop even though it was close to evening.

Took a meal from the school cafeteria, accompanied by the sound of cicadas all the way, Gu Heng returned to his school building.

"How blue the sky is, and it just so happens that the wind is so perfect today, pretend not to know and pretend not to hear a word......"

Pushing open the door, as soon as he put down the lunch box in his hand, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

It's Liu Chen.

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed the connect button.

"Hey, Uncle Liu?"

"Well, it's me," Liu Chen's thick voice came from the phone, and his tone was not serious, "How are you doing?" ”

"Everything is normal," Gu Heng opened the lunch box with his free left hand, and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is here to urge me to go back to work?" ”

"Or else?" Liu Chen laughed heartily twice, "You are not in the company, my work burden has increased, not to mention, I have to be knocked on the side by those little girls in the company to ask when you will come back in three days, I am also very hard......"

"Why don't you be serious," Gu Heng shook his head and smiled, and complained, "I haven't looked for you until you talked to my dad about Xiuzhi's girl last time......

"You can't blame me for this, I'll just mention it casually," Liu Chen coughed dryly a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Back to business, how long do you have to come back?" ”

"Are you going back to the capital? It's about two weeks," took the wallet that was placed aside, and Gu Heng took out a half-folded return ticket, "Does the company have any other arrangements?" ”

The time of the return trip has been booked in advance.

Li Zhien's girl will come over after a while, and if she goes back too late, it will be inconvenient to pick her up.

"Two weeks? That's good, it's not in a hurry, I'll talk to you more when you come back. ”

"Okay."

“...... By the way, when you get back, there's another thing you need to take care of. Liu Chen hesitated for a moment and said suddenly.

"Huh? At work? Gu Heng didn't care too much.

"No, it's your own business," Liu Chen coughed several times in embarrassment, "Forget it, you'll know this when you come back." ”

"No, what's the difference between you and not saying anything?" Gu Heng smiled.

"There are still some differences, at least you are mentally prepared."

Gu Heng had deeper doubts in his heart, but Liu Chen hurriedly ended the call.

"My own business?" Gu Heng muttered softly, his brows furrowed slightly.

In his impression, Liu Chen does not like to play dumb riddles and sell Guanzi's character, which is really rare today.

After a while, thinking to no avail, he shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being.

His eyes fell on the return ticket on the table, and Lin Yun'er's words in the afternoon suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Yes, time is really fast......"

Silently bowing his head and eating dinner, the thoughts in his heart suddenly became complicated.

Some things will not disappear because of his intentional or unintentional avoidance, but will only slowly approach.

Maybe Lin Yun'er doesn't mind staying here for an extra week, but it is impossible to stay in this strange country forever.

Even if Lin Yun'er arrived without warning half a month ago, those things that subtly flowed between him and her, which might be called affection, suddenly became intense.

But he was well aware that everything was time-bound.

It's like the kind of special bread sold in a 24-hour convenience store, and once the expiration date is over, you can't eat it anymore.

Outside the window, the sunset quietly slanted in the west, and the sunlight fell on this small return ticket, slightly reflective.

Gu Heng came back to his senses and glanced at the time.

"Haven't you come back yet......"

Lin Yun'er has been running diligently to Xiao Yunxia's house recently, he knows it, although he is always mysterious and secretive, but he doesn't bother to study her "secret" in detail.

But now that it was close to nightfall, Lin Yun'er still hadn't come back, and he was a little worried.

The infrastructure here is not comparable to that of the city, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and there are few lights along the way.

If Lin Yun'er stayed at Xiao Yunxia's house, he would be more relieved, but this girl swore to him in the afternoon that she would come back after dinner.

"It's always worrying about ......"

Casually closing the lunch box, he took a coat and went out.

......

"Run'e, your progress is fast."

Looking at the small object in Lin Yun'er's hand beside her, Grandma Yunxia, who was sitting on the recliner, praised with a smile.

"Thank you, grandma, it's all good for you to teach~" Lin Yun'er stopped the carving in her hand, turned her head and smiled brightly at the old man.

"Yes, grandma also thinks that she teaches well, Gu Heng can't blame grandma for not learning." The old man thought so.

Lin Yun'er sneered, nodded vigorously, and agreed, "Yes, yes!" Secretly tell you Oh, I taught him acting before, but he was ridiculed for acting as a mess, and he blamed me for saying that my acting skills were not good! ”

Grandma Yunxia laughed, "Then don't worry about him, it's just a hard mouth and love face." ”

"I'm too lazy to bother with him......" Lin Yun'er lowered her head and carved the object in her hand.

Although it is not finished yet, from the overall outline, it looks like a small person, still holding something in his arms.

The old man looked at her serious movements, his expression was gentle, and he asked softly,

"So this, Run'e, are you going to give it to Xiao Heng?"

"Huh?" Lin Yun'er was slightly stunned, "Grandma, you ......"

"If Xiao Heng comes to engrave it, I can see a pair of mandarin ducks as two big geese at that moment," Grandma Yunxia's fingertips stroked Lin Yun'er's long hair, "But Run'e's talent is so good, just carve a pair of eyes, and grandma already knows who it is." ”

Lin Yun'er pursed her lips, her face slightly red.

"You two, you've known each other before, haven't you?"

"Uh-huh......"

"No wonder." A look of surprise flashed across the old man's face.

Even if Lin Yun'er didn't teach Gu Heng to perform with her just now, she could see some clues just based on some details of how the two got along.

"Grandma, can I ask you for something?" Lin Yun'er folded her hands and winked at the old man.

"Huh?"

"This," Lin Yun'er pointed to the small wooden carving on her lap and hesitated, "Don't tell him yet, there are some things I haven't thought about yet......

"Got it, grandma will keep it a secret for you," the old man smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Lin Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Grandma Yun Xia glanced at the sky outside the house and patted Lin Yun'er's arm, "We can't delay any longer, the sun is about to set, you can go back quickly, and help me call Yun Xia's girl in." ”

"Okay, goodbye grandma!"

Lin Yun'er packed up her things and walked outside the house.

At the moment when she was about to leave the door, the old man suddenly said, "Run'e, sometimes you have to be brave." ”

“...... I see, thank you grandma. ”
