embrace the moon

I will not try to pick the moon, I want the moon to come to me.

Gu Yu opened the car door and sat down. While fastening his seat belt, he said, "The document has been passed on to you. The evening party may take a long time, so you should go back first."

"What's wrong with the sound?" Guan Xiaoli started the car and asked while holding the steering wheel.

Gu Yu responded in a low voice with a hoarse voice that was almost inaudible, "My throat hurts."

To Guan Xiaoli's ears, the taste was different.He raised his eyebrows, and asked casually, "Was Jian Qiao at your place last night?"

Gu Yu didn't think much, and responded.

At this time, Guan Xiaoli who was standing beside him suddenly laughed.Gu Yu didn't understand why, and because it was too difficult to speak, he simply didn't respond.

"In the future...be careful at least," he said quietly, "After all, what you do is a job that relies on talking for a living."

Now Gu Yu finally came to his senses, clicked his tongue angrily, and ignored him.He rummaged through the storage box in front of him, took out a throat medicine and put it in his mouth, the cool mint flavor melted in his throat, straight to the bottom of his heart.

"You and Jian Qiao got back together?" Guan Xiaoli asked.

"Ask again," Gu Yu said in a hoarse voice helplessly, "You might as well install a camera on me."

"I think so too," Guan Xiaoli was very persistent, "If you finish answering all at once, won't I stop asking?"

Gu Yu was too lazy to go around with him, and said: "I asked Yanzi why you came, and Yanzi said, take care of yourself."

"To be honest, I can suffocate to death." Guan Xiaoli patted the steering wheel very irritably, gnashing her teeth quickly, "I hate you, hate you, hate you."

"One hate every day, one rage every three days," Gu Yu summed it up brilliantly, "Childish, brat."

Guan Xiaoli didn't want to talk to him anymore.The scenery outside the window is covered with white snow and retreats rapidly.Gu Yu heard that he mentioned Jianqiao again, so he had to think about it again.

Why is Jianqiao so sad this morning?What nightmare did he have, what was he thinking?So what happened?Or is Jian Qiao angry at herself for being so cold and calm to him?

He thought about it all the way, and when the car stopped at a red light, Gu Yu finally couldn't bear it, and patted the car door directly, "I want to go back."

Guan Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, "Today I have a social meeting."

Gu Yu lowered the car window, and the cold wind came in from the outside, mixed with icy drifting snow, drilled into his throat, mixed with the smell of mints, and made him shiver all of a sudden.

He looked at the snow outside the window, waited until the green light came on and the car started running again, and then softly replied: "...Oh."

He can understand his CEO dad now.It turns out that nothing can be easily avoided.Gu Yu leaned against the car window and looked at Guan Xiaoli who was driving in silence. After a long time, he said in a low voice with his horrible hoarse voice: "Xiaoli, I want to go back, and I want to go now."

Guan Xiaoli didn't speak, and immediately stopped by the side, turned her head to look at him, "What are you doing?"

Back then, Gu Tianbai missed his growth and life time and time again because of being busy and careless, he can understand now.But understanding doesn't mean it's right.

He wouldn't want to do that if he could.He also doesn't want to miss the person he really cares about because of every small loss.Thinking about it now, maybe if the CEO's dad goes back to the past, he might make a completely different choice.

The success of life does not lie in how to achieve success and how to achieve fame.One day I will sleep peacefully, fame and fame will be a matter of death, and the people in my memory will be the comfort in my heart.And those absences that feel trivial every time have piled up regrets that can never be made up.

"It shouldn't be long. If it takes a long time, I'll leave it to you and Xu Xu." Gu Yu still leaned against the car window, looking at his side face, his voice was unbearably soft, "Can you?"

Guan Xiaoli pulled off his seat belt impatiently, "Go away."

"Oh," Gu Yu smiled brightly, got out of the car, stood on the sidewalk, leaned over and waved at the car window, "Bye bye."

Before the words finished, the car rushed forward suddenly, and Gu Yu subconsciously took a step back.He turned around and walked on the snowy road, looking up at the road ahead, it was still very long, but there was someone he longed to see at the destination.

After walking for a few minutes, a car suddenly whized by, bringing up a burst of snow.

The car window was lowered, Guan Xiaoli said angrily, "Come up."

Gu Yu looked at him, "Huh?"

"Hurry up, it's going retrograde now." Guan Xiaoli honked the horn impatiently.

"You're going to be late too." Gu Yu leaned back in his chair and took another throat lozenge.

"I don't want to clean up your mess," Guan Xiaoli murmured, and finally couldn't help laughing, "I should leave it to Chen Fangxu alone."

Gu Yu looked at him and laughed too.

By the way, the biggest difference between him and the CEO's father at work is that he has a group of very reliable and trustworthy friends.

The door opens.

Gu Yu panted and looked around, the room was quiet and silent, the room was tidy and tidy, but there was no one there.

He took out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number he knew by heart.The moment the connection was made, Gu Yu was in a daze, not knowing what to say.It just feels like it's been too long since I've successfully dialed this number.

The other end was also silent. After a while, Gu Yu finally spoke first, "...Have you changed your number for so many years?"

"Well," the other end replied quietly, "no."

Gu Yu was silent, thought for a while, and asked bluntly, "Where is it?"

Jian Qiao replied, "Your home."

"Fart," Gu Yu asked him, repeating in an annoying way, "Where is it?"

On the icy and snowy street, Jian Qiao looked up at the snow-white roofs and replied honestly, "I don't know where this is either."

Gu Yu was helpless, "Don't run around, send me the location."

When he arrived, he saw the tall and thin figure in the snow.It was snowing all over the sky, but he was as quiet as a painting.Gu Yu approached, took off the scarf silently, stood behind him, and wrapped it round and round around his neck.

The warmth wrapped around his neck, covering half of his cheeks.Jian Qiao was obviously taken aback, and when he turned around, Gu Yu tied the scarf in a knot, letting it hang obediently on his chest.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and they were silent for a moment, not thinking of what to say.Gu Yu grabbed Jian Qiao's cuff, brushed his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally across his wrist, and led him back.

After a long time, he was the one who spoke first and walked ahead and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Walk around casually." Jian Qiao replied, her voice was very gentle, without sounding aggressive at all.

"You don't know the way, so you just walk around?" Gu Yu asked him angrily, thinking that if he didn't come back, he wouldn't call him. Thin, I don't know how long it will be frozen in the snow.

"Well," Jian Qiao admitted shamelessly, "I just...want to see it."

Gu Yu threw away his sleeve, stopped and turned around to look, his tone was neither sullen nor angry, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad, "Is there anything to see, why not go straight to the scenic spot? Why are you wandering around?"

Jian Qiao also stopped walking, her fair cheeks were buried in the scarf, she looked harmless and pitiful, seeing this appearance, she couldn't express any temper.

He looked up, the snow fell from his deep eyelashes, and he said softly: "I want to see where you live, and if it looks very happy."

Gu Yu stared at his face, then quickly lowered his head and looked down, put his hands into his coat pockets, and asked casually, "Does that look happy?"

"...I don't know," Jian Qiao still stared at him intently, his eyes reflected in the snow color, showing a gentleness and purity never before, "What do you think?"

Gu Yu lowered his head, lightly kicked the snow on the road with the toe of his shoes, after a long while, finally stomped hard on his feet, raised his head to meet his eyes, and said, "Only today is a little bit happier."

Jian Qiao blinked, Gu Yu suddenly took a step back, came to his senses, turned around and continued walking forward, and asked, "When are you going back to China?"

"A ticket for tomorrow morning." Jian Qiao replied.

Hearing this, Gu Yu suddenly felt empty in his heart, that feeling was like rolling twice in a snowdrift excitedly, and when he looked up, he found that there was no one on the street.All expectations fell through, and a cup of hot water was left freezing and cold.

"...Oh," Gu Yu paused, and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll see you off tomorrow?"

"En." Jian Qiao replied, watching his steps, stepping on the footprints he left on the snow.

As soon as they met, Gu Yu felt that the subtle atmosphere between them was developing in a completely unpredictable direction.He originally thought that the words he had prepared could be said one by one.

In the end... In the end, you said a fart, Gu Xiaobao!Gu Yu was very annoyed, thinking about whether he would be scolded by Chen Fangxu when he returned to the studio later.

Huh, Chen Fangxu?

"Well, did you get together with Chen Fangxu?" Gu Yu finally found the topic and asked suddenly.

"Yes. A few days ago he took me to the Tretyakov Gallery." Jian Qiao replied.

Gu Yu frowned, and the hand hidden in his pocket unconsciously clenched into a fist.Why doesn't he know?Jian Qiao would rather hang out with Chen Fangxu than look for him?

"Did he get back together with Yang Jiaqing later?" Jian Qiao asked.

"No. Now, how should I put it, it should be a stage of silent protection," Gu Yu replied, "After Yang Jiaqing's accident, she has been reluctant to wear a hearing aid. Chen Fangxu has been guarding her, and the two of them didn't communicate much at first. , Later, I started to video frequently, but I didn’t confirm the relationship.”

Jian Qiao responded.Gu Yu stopped suddenly, and Jian Qiao bumped into him without paying attention.He immediately took a step back, Gu Yu struggled inwardly, but stretched out his hand to pull him to his side.

"Don't look at him laughing and joking all day long, I just found out that Yang Jiaqing was not actually..." Gu Yu paused, looking down at the snowdrops on the toe of his shoes, "Did you know that Yang Jiaqing wrote to lie to him that She was violated and wanted to break up with him."

Jian Qiao nodded.

"Chen Fangxu later found out that senior sister resisted so desperately because of him. He was very sad. He drank every day and couldn't read books at all," Gu Yu continued, "Actually, he didn't really care about senior sister's end." Can't do it clean', that's nothing compared to life, right?"

Jian Qiao nodded again, and turned to look at him.

"A lot of times, a lot of things, as long as you compare them, they don't count at all," Gu Yu said in a low voice, but it sounded like he was muttering to himself, "People who are clearly in love can let go of those insignificant things and be frank and honest." hang out together."

When Jian Qiao heard this, his heart tightened, and he gradually slowed down until he stopped, looking at the back in front of him getting farther and farther away.Gu Yu walked a certain distance, turned around and said, "What do you think, Jian Qiao?"

"So?" Guan Xiaoli was driving the car, with a candy in her mouth, and asked vaguely, "You've made it clear to this extent, why won't he rush up and kill you?"

"You want him to kill me?" Gu Yu asked angrily, recalling the scene at that time, "Anyway, he didn't say anything at that time, just like the wind in his ears, pretend he didn't hear it."

"Do you two have to be so awkward?" Guan Xiaoli was very convinced, "If he doesn't talk about getting back together first, can't you talk about it first?"

"I didn't break up with him," Gu Yu emphasized again, and then said, "I don't want to get back together, anyway, he has appeared now, and he won't become someone else."

Guan Xiaoli let out a long sigh of relief, "So?"

"Xiaoli, do you feel that his current state of the whole person is particularly like a person?" Gu Yu asked.

"Who?"

"Old Chen, I feel very much like Lao Chen. The whole person has a detached temperament, as if he is indifferent to the whole world and doesn't care about everything."

Guan Xiaoli tried her best to recall, then shook her head, "I haven't seen it much. So what?"

"Grandpa told me before he was alive that if he doesn't change, he won't last long." Gu Yu casually looked at the document in his hand, repeatedly rubbing the paper with his fingertips, "He used to be a piece of ice, but now he is a glacier. He doesn't tell me anything, and keeps everything in his heart. But I don't care, even if he becomes the master of the Ice Age, he will have to be melted by Lao Tzu."

"You want to change him?" Guan Xiaoli glanced at the rearview mirror, and her eyes flicked across Gu Yu's firm face, "Just because of your slow crawling rhythm like a tortoise? Do you expect it to happen in this life?"

"Get out," Gu Yu was actually not sure at all, and being exposed by him was even more distraught, "Anyway, it depends on who can waste the other, and I will recognize him. I have plenty of time."

Guan Xiaoli stared at the street in front of the car glass, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "He may not be able to exhaust you."

"Really? I also think he will definitely be changed by me."

Guan Xiaoli held the steering wheel, and suddenly smiled, meaning unknown.
