[The summer solstice has not yet come] Carving time

a <31>

Gu Qiaochu heard Lu Zhiang crying in his ear, the warm liquid fell on his face and then went down into his hair root.He heard Lu Zhiang lower his voice and say, "Ah Chu, go back, okay...you promised me."

Lu Zhiang waited until the end but failed to hear Gu Qiaochu give him the answer he wanted, even the man closed his eyes and didn't even say a word.He just felt a severe chill in his heart, wiped his face, got up, went into the bedroom and slammed the door.

In the final analysis, Lu Zhiang didn't know what went wrong, obviously the day before they were packing things together for delivery, and they also discussed together that they would have a gathering with Fu Xiaosi and Li Xiayu after returning home.

When talking about this, he saw Gu Qiaochu with a slight smile on his face, which looked similar to that in high school, but compared with a little more sincerity and warmth.At that time, he thought everything was fine, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiaochu's face would change after only one day.

He could think that something happened to Gu Qiaochu that suddenly changed his mind, and he also felt that as long as Gu Qiaochu explained to him what was going on, he would be able to accept it.He was able to refund the ticket and stay with Gu Qiaochu to face it together, and even paid Litong's liquidated damages.

But Gu Qiaochu is still the same as before, and won't tell him anything.

This was the saddest thing Lu Zhiang could feel in the past three years.

He thought that the two of them were changing in a good direction, and slowly becoming two people who could live together better.But now he doesn't think so. In fact, only he has changed, but Gu Qiaochu has never.

At that time, Lu Zhiang didn't realize that, in fact, at the beginning, none of them cared about who gave more and who had more feelings during this period.

The matter of feelings, since he was entangled in who gave more, it didn't seem so serious.

The next morning Lu Zhiang got up early, when he opened the door with the suitcase, Gu Qiaochu stood up from the sofa.He didn't speak, just pulled the box and walked out.

He heard Gu Qiaochu's footsteps behind him, it was alright at first, he could still pretend nothing happened.Until he went downstairs and was suddenly sobered by the refreshing Tokyo morning wind.He suddenly turned his head and said to Gu Qiaochu, "Don't send me off."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the car he had booked, but the footsteps behind him didn't stop.He looked back at Gu Qiaochu standing there, the man finally stopped smiling, as if he also felt the atmosphere of parting.He didn't know what was wrong with him, it seemed like everything had been decided after the quarrel the night before, but it was still very uncomfortable.

"Gu Qiaochu, don't send me off. Where can you send me off?" Lu Zhiang couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell down.He desperately resisted the urge to run over to hug Gu Qiaochu, fearing that he would be too ugly in the end, his empty hands clenched into fists were still trembling violently.He was afraid that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he would drag Gu Qiaochu away with him, "Go back, you want me to get on the plane, are you still worried about you walking back alone?"

Gu Qiaochu couldn't send Lu Zhiang off now, he watched Lu Zhiang get into the taxi, but he couldn't say his final farewell words.He even didn't take his glasses when he went downstairs, so he couldn't see clearly the expression of Lu Zhiang who said these words.

He just felt very uncomfortable.

When Gu Qiaochu went home and closed the door, he could no longer move his feet.He leaned on the shelf of the porch and slowly sat down on the ground.

When the plane was about to take off, he received a message from Lu Zhiang.

[Gu Qiaochu, it's been so long, have you ever liked me]

He didn't reply to the message, he just felt very tired.But when his mind was in chaos, he felt aggrieved because of Lu Zhiang's problem.Anyone can ask him this question, but Lu Zhiang can't.Because Lu Zhiang should know the answer to the question better than anyone else.

It's not that he doesn't like it, it's been so long, and he has been tossing about so many things, it seems that he doesn't even know how to like himself.

Lu Zhiang didn't know how sad it would be if a person lost the ability to like himself, so he didn't know those days when Gu Qiaochu was alone in Japan after he left.

He couldn't stop crying when he saw the news on the Internet after returning to China, as if he was the one who suffered those injuries.When those classmates were discussing the revelations on the Internet, he suddenly realized that he was the last person to know.

He was crying hoarsely in front of the computer desk in the bedroom. He thought of Gu Qiaochu's eyes and hands, and his legs that were so painful that he couldn't walk easily. He remembered Gu Qiaochu telling him "the past Don't mention it, okay?"In the end, he overturned all those things on the table to the ground.

Then at that moment, he seemed to suddenly lose the courage to be with Gu Qiaochu.

Gu Qiaochu, it seems that you have encountered so many things, I am the person who should stand with you the most.But you, who never told me anything, seem to have forgotten to give me the confidence to be with you.

That was the coldest winter that Gu Qiaochu had spent in Japan, because they had no contact with Lu Zhiang after returning to China.

He moved back to his own home, and because he had finished his studies, he rarely went out again.

Occasionally, he would not contact anyone, turn off his mobile phone, and take the Shinkansen to a nearby town to rest.

At that time, mobile phones were not so useful, and the GPS function was still very weak, so it was almost useless for navigation, let alone the mobile payment function developed later.

The first time Gu Qiaochu did this, there was no news for three to five days. When he returned to Tokyo, he saw Yu Lai with a cold face wrapped in black wool sitting on the stairs on the first floor.

Yu Lai originally wanted to say a lot of reproaches, but when he raised his eyes and saw Gu Qiaochu standing alone at the door with his bag on his back, he seemed unable to bear to say anything.

After deliberating for a long time, he said, "Ah Chu, go back."

In fact, several months have passed since then, and it has long been overwhelmed by new scandals and gossip.Yu Lai had already had a private relationship with the other party, because he wanted to minimize the impact, otherwise he would probably take legal measures to defend Gu Qiaochu's rights, so the other party promised him that he would never mention this matter again.

It was Gu Qiaochu who wanted to stay in Japan and not go back.

But when Yu came to look at Gu Qiaochu, he suddenly felt that it might be better to let Gu Qiaochu go back with Lu Zhiang.He couldn't understand how Gu Qiaochu could become what he is now, as if he had completely lost what he once envied about Lu Zhiang.

Sadly, it seems that Lu Zhiang also lost those vigor along with him.

Both Huashang and Litong are headquartered in Shanghai, and the two big companies will inevitably have some business contacts.One time when Yu Lai went to Litong with Lin An, he happened to see Lu Zhiang, and he was surprised.

On the way to leave after talking about the cooperation, he met Lu Zhiang, he couldn't help but walked over to say hello, and asked with a frown, "Why do you work in Litong."

"Is this strange?" Lu Zhiang asked people clearly when he saw Yu Lai before, and knew that Yu Lai was from Huashang's legal department, "Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia are also here."

He didn't know why Yu Lai's face became a little strange when he heard this, and he said, "I thought you would come to Huashang."

The manager of Huashang's marketing department has been vacant for nearly a month since June, and was taken over by a master studying in the United States at the end of the month.

Yu Lai thought about it, and said to Lu Zhiang, "Don't think I'm taking too much care...you and Ah Chu don't fight anymore, okay?"

Lu Zhiang suddenly stopped laughing when he heard this, he smoothed the corners of his mouth and suddenly became impatient, "What do you know."

"I don't know what's going on." Yu Lai has always been good-tempered, and he is patient at this time, "But if it's because of what happened during the college entrance examination, then I can only tell you that he just doesn't want you to see It's just his bad side."

What is the bad side, Lu Zhiang didn't quite understand.He only went to Asakawa's prison without telling everyone during the Chinese New Year vacation.

He applied for visitation rights and went to see the person who led someone to hurt Gu Qiaochu.But he didn't expect the man to curl his lips and show a weird smile when he saw him.

Lu Zhiang was terrified by that stare, he bit the bullet and stared back, only then remembered that this person was a senior who had always been at odds with Gu Qiaochu in school.

"What's the matter between you and Gu Qiaochu? You have to keep embarrassing him like this." When Lu Zhiang asked this, he clenched his teeth unconsciously. He stared at the people inside, clenched his knuckles one by one. ringing.

"...Can there be any festivals?" The people inside were stunned when they heard this. He thought for a while, as if he had returned to those days in high school, "If I have to say festivals, it may be that he has been ignoring me and despising me. Look down on me! He, Gu Qiaochu, got things that I couldn't even work hard for since he entered school!"

He remembered that in his second year of high school, his desk was full of failed test papers, and he was often criticized for being late for vandalism and fighting.In fact, he can pass if he works hard, he just wants to get others' attention in this way.But a year later, the surrounding classmates began to ignore him, and the teacher seemed to have given up on him.

He gradually became a dispensable person in the school, or many people wanted him to disappear.It was at that time that Gu Qiao entered school for the first time.

Gu Qiaochu is different from him. He is handsome and has good grades. He is proficient in spoken English and plays the piano well. All the teachers and classmates in the school like him.

At the beginning, he also liked this new junior like other classmates. He thought that such a person was really powerful, and he wanted to be friends with Gu Qiaochu.But he tried several times, whether it was a ball date or going out on weekends, the man seemed to refuse just right.

Until one day, when he was late, he smiled and went to say something nice to Gu Qiaochu, but Gu Qiaochu also refused with a smile.When he gave up and was about to leave, he turned around and saw Gu Qiaochu's cold face no longer looked like usual.

At that moment, he only felt that he had discovered the dark side of this person.

You know that feeling of discovering someone's secret, the thrill, especially when that guy is a school idol.

But no one believed him.
