hubbub

Gu Yunlan... Yunlan.

Except for the fact that he was able to learn about her recent situation during the annual class reunion, Shang Zhiyu never felt that he had any right to bother her.

He didn't expect that she would come to find him.

"Long time no see." Shang Zhiyu also smiled, watching her take a seat.

Gu Yunlan ordered a cup of fresh fruit tea, glanced at the tea in front of Shang Zhiyu, and said with a faint smile, "Your taste has changed."

"Ten years, what hasn't changed?"

"You still like taking pictures don't you?"

"I like it, but the content of the shooting is different."

Gu Yunlan glanced at the photo album in front of Shang Zhiyu, and said, "Yes, it's surprising that you can take pictures of people and hold such a grand photography exhibition."

Shang Zhiyu didn't explain, but asked, "How are you doing?"

Gu Yunlan did not answer, but still said, "You have become so mature."

Shang Zhi remained silent, watching her quietly.

He was the one who proposed the breakup ten years ago, and he has always felt guilty about the woman in front of him.

Gu Yunlan also fell silent. She gently pressed the lemon slices in the teapot with a spoon, poured honey on it, closed the lid, and slowly poured the tea into her cup.

She didn't speak, and Shang Zhiyu didn't speak again.

Time passed by, and it wasn't until Gu Yunlan finished drinking a pot of tea and asked the waiter to come in to refill it, that she said again, "If it wasn't for the photography exhibition, you would have planned to avoid me for the rest of your life and not let me know where you are ,Yeah?"

"You have your own life." Shang Zhiyu said gently.

"But you know, even though you are doing it for my own good, and I know it very well, I still love you so far. If my feelings for you will deteriorate because of something in your family, then do you think I Is it still the Gu Yunlan you loved back then?" She still spoke very slowly and softly, her tone was so calm, but her words were firm and resolute.

Shang Zhiyu's expression became more and more gentle, his tone was low, and each word seemed to have a strong meaning, "You have always been worthy of my affection, and I have never doubted it."

It was said that Gu Yunlan stayed there for a long time, and suddenly she shed tears, without warning, maybe she had suppressed this relationship for too long, it seemed as if she couldn't bear it anymore, the tears Big drops fell like pearls on a broken thread, and she let herself cry and buried her head.

Seeing this, Shang Zhiyu was speechless, he walked over and sat beside her, hugged her gently in his arms, patted her on the back with one hand like in the past, without saying a word, as if he let her cry forever.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Zheng Yiling's phone call came at an untimely time, Shang Zhiyu picked it up and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do."

"Huh? Can't make it? Do you want me to wait for you?"

"No, hang up first."

"Oh... okay." Zheng Yiling hung up the phone, and couldn't help but wonder, was it her illusion?She seemed to hear a soft sobbing on the other side...

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

"...Girlfriend?" Gu Yunlan still lowered her head and buried herself in Shang Zhiyu's arms, she asked softly.

"Colleague." Shang Zhiyu replied.

"Sorry for disrupting your original arrangement." Gu Yunlan said.

"It's okay." Shang Zhiyu said softly.

"Do you... have a girlfriend now?" Gu Yunlan asked again.

"No."

"What about before?"

"nor."

"And before that?"

"Yun Lan, my girlfriend has always been only you." Shang Zhiyu said helplessly.

"Can I...can you stay?" Gu Yunlan suddenly raised her head, her eyes were still glistening with tears, her dark pupils were extremely focused, and she looked at him exactly the same as ten years ago.

Shang Zhiyu couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard her question.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Later, it became the story of Gu Yunlan. Shang Zhiyu didn't tell her that he cared about her every year, as if he knew it for the first time, he sat beside her and listened quietly.

"My first art exhibition was held in France, that was the first time I went to France, the first time I ate snails, you know, now I like drinking red wine more and more! I still spent time there St. Catherine's Day, but I was only 23 years old that year, so I couldn't be considered an "older young woman". I had to be 25 to be called an "older age". Those girls would go to the statue of Catherine to present a bouquet of flowers, I went too, but I didn't dance in a big fashion store, I always feel so shy..." She seemed to be by his side all the time, and her expression was the one that Shang Zhiyu was very familiar with, making him think for a moment that she was in front of her. in the illusion.

"You know I like to go to bookstores the most. When I was in Japan, I spent every day looking for picture books in second-hand bookstores. The Japanese painters' attention to detail is amazing. Just like their entire country, I was also fascinated by their paintings. In an izakaya, a Japanese friend invited me to drink very delicious wine, but I didn’t know the name, and then I went to order it myself, but I still didn’t order exactly the same...”

"Tell you, I have had a boyfriend in the past few years! He is a Taiwanese, very funny, likes to make tea, and sits down to make tea when he has nothing to do. But half a year later, he said that his Taiwan compatriot card was about to expire and he was going back. Yes, he proposed to me at that time, but I didn't agree to him, but later I heard that he brought a mainland girl back to Taiwan..."

Like him, Gu Yunlan is a student of the art department. Her major is oil painting, while his major is photography. At that time, the two of them had dreamed about the future. One of them could hold art exhibitions all over the world, and the other would carry Wherever the camera goes, they want to go together, no matter where they go, and no matter what scene he shoots, she also wants to paint it with her own brush, as long as the two of them are together, a little With a small paintbrush and an old-fashioned camera, they will also feel very happy. They want to go hand in hand all the time, hold hands and travel the world as their home.

How wonderful, but also how unrealistic, the youthful and lush years are gone forever, and the dream at that time is still so out of reach in his eyes today.

"Congratulations, several art exhibitions have been successfully held." Shang Zhiyu said with a smile.

"You too, but I really didn't expect that you would become a photojournalist." Gu Yunlan said.

"I'm very glad that you are getting closer and closer to your dream." Shang Zhiyu said.

Gu Yunlan shook her head, stared at Shang Zhiyu and said, "I have you in my dream, have you forgotten?"

"I remember." If he didn't remember, he wouldn't feel distressed until now. It was because he still felt sorry for the woman in front of him that he couldn't easily leave.

"Zhi Yu."

"Sorry, Yunlan, I probably won't be able to get back to the person I used to be when I had dreams." Shang Zhiyu said to Gu Yunlan.

Gu Yunlan couldn't help being startled and looked at him.

Shang Zhiyu used to be powerful and talented, he was the top student in the school, he was a top student in sports, and his father was rich and powerful, he could call the wind and rain, so there were always a group of boys and girls following him, and his eyes always Full of self-confidence, and always going forward bravely, as if he could overcome all obstacles, as if nothing in the world was difficult for him. At that time, he was high above, dazzling like the sun.

Once upon a time, he withdrew his brilliance and concealed his talent. The confident look in his eyes has long since become mature and low-key today. He no longer easily shows presumptuousness and publicity to others, but only replaces it with a gentle smile and a calm voice.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

That night, Shang Zhiyu sent Gu Yunlan back to the hotel, while he walked slowly back to his residence.

After walking downstairs, he saw Zheng Yiling waiting there. Zheng Yiling also saw him, and naturally raised a smile and said "Hi" to him.

"How did you come?"

"Go back and drop by. I just want to see if you're at home. What's wrong? Stuck by work?"

"No, I met an ex-friend." Shang Zhiyu replied lightly, and asked her, "How is it? "Anemone Flower"?"

"It's great! I cried at the end! Just look at my walnut eyes." Zheng Yiling pointed to herself, and then said excitedly, "It's really good, the story is very good, Qi Wu's performance...he was captured Grabbing it to recall the past, I plan to buy a disc and go back to collect it!"

"That's good, but it's a waste of a ticket."

"If you want to watch it again, I can honor you with it, because I plan to do it twice more." Zheng Yiling said firmly.

Shang Zhiyu smiled and said, "I understand how his extraordinary box office came about."

"It's worth it. Compared to other bad movies, I'd rather watch it a few more times and dedicate this 'love' to my male god!"

"You can do it, I won't invite you to sit up so late." Shang Zhiyu looked at the time and said.

"Well, I'm fine, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow." Zheng Yiling turned around and left quite simply, Shang Zhiyu watched her go for a while, then took out the key and went upstairs.

After returning home and taking a shower, before turning on the computer, he took out his mobile phone and sent Zhuang Xifeng a text message: "Something happened temporarily, the premiere couldn't be watched, sorry."

The ticket was specially left for him by Zhuang Xifeng, and he also said that he would definitely go to see it, but in the end it wasted, and he had to tell him whether it was emotional or reasonable.

After a while, the phone turned on, and Zhuang Xifeng replied: It's okay, it's just a ticket.

After reading the text message, Shang Zhiyu typed a few more words: When will you come back, I promised to give you an answer. If it is convenient to let me know, I will arrange a time to pick you up...

He hesitated for a long time after typing out this text, but in the end he couldn't send it out. Originally, the request of "friend" was too harsh on Zhuang Xifeng, but other than that, he had no other choice to give him. The appearance of him, Yun Lan, made it impossible for him to think about Zhuang Xifeng's feelings, and once Zhuang Xifeng had any emotions beyond the range of friends, it was impossible for him to continue this friendship...

In fact, being friends with Zhuang Xifeng has nothing to do with Yunlan's appearance, but he always feels that the relationship between the two cannot be handled properly for a while. His mind will definitely be on the latter, after all, this is the only woman he has ever loved and is still deeply in love with.

Although he turned on the computer, he couldn't work smoothly. Shang Zhiyu simply closed his laptop and went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Shang Zhiyu usually does not smoke, nor is he addicted to cigarettes, but Yun Lan's appearance surprised him too much, and his emotions have not fluctuated for too long. But it will not affect his heart in the end, but now because of Yunlan's appearance, everything slowly rises up again, slowly submerging him, and what follows is that dusty past, which is covered up again like a scar. When it was uncovered again, it was dripping with blood for a while.

Yunlan, she wants to stay, what about him?What should he do? After all, the distance of ten years is real. Yunlan doesn't seem to have changed much in front of him, but he is different. ?If he really turned around, wouldn't the ten years of deliberate avoidance be in vain?If this love is picked up again, will it bring more pain and hurt to both parties?

He smoked silently on the balcony all night, ignoring the mobile phone on the desk that turned on and off, and the person who displayed the message on it was still Zhuang Xifeng: I will come back at the end of the month, you said you would give me an answer, I have already made up my mind Be ready, I'll gladly accept if you can or can't, please schedule a time to meet with me.
