In summer like autumn

As soon as "Thunderstorm" came out, it won unanimous praise from the audience, and also won the first prize in the cultural festival group competition for the drama club.The next day happened to be the weekend, and Gu Wendong suggested that the club members go to his house to celebrate.

Wen Qiu had breakfast with grandma on Saturday, and while cleaning up the dishes, she told grandma that she was going to visit a classmate's house.Grandma told him to pay attention to safety on the road, told him to bring a bag of apples, and told him not to be rude when visiting someone's house.Wen Qiu fully agreed, and went out with the apple in hand.

When Wen Qiu was about to go downstairs to Gu Wendong's house, he met a group of guests who were also visiting, and they all went upstairs together.Gu Wendong's father went on a business trip, and his mother followed Gu Zhihang to the United States, leaving him alone at home.Gu Wendong opened the door, pretending to be in charge, and led everyone in.

A group of young people took what they needed as soon as they entered the door. Some were watching TV in the living room, some went to Gu Wendong's room to play games, and Mo Jingyi and the two girls arrived early. There was a rattling sound.

Hearing that Wen Qiu was coming, Mo Jingyi poked her head out from inside: "Come Wen Qiu, help me peel the garlic."

Wen Qiu agreed, looked around again, and asked Gu Wendong, "Is senior Xia not here?"

"Didn't Xia Yuhui come back? Yiqun has to serve his brother's breakfast first, and save his lunch and dinner for him. Otherwise, if that guy looks up information or edits videos, he will definitely forget to eat." .” Gu Wendong replied, “Anyway, his house is close, and he can walk there.”

Xia Yiqun came late, and when they arrived at Gu Wendong's house, everyone was already messed up.He didn't care, he greeted everyone, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook noodles, which was more familiar than at his own home.

Wen Qiu ran to the kitchen when he was done eating, stood by the counter, and washed the apples he brought.He quickly peeled the apples clean, and then divided them into crisp, crisp pieces.

When Xia Yiqun entered the kitchen, he was in a daze for a moment.He stopped, leaned against the door and looked at Wen Qiu.

Wen Qiu was humming an unnamed tune, holding a handful of toothpicks with delicate fingers, poking them into the apples one by one.He divided the toothpicks, picked up the plate, raised it to the height of his eyes, tilted his head to look left and right, and seemed quite satisfied with his work.Having admired enough, he turned his head and walked out, almost bumping into Xia Yiqun.

Xia Yiqun grabbed Wen Qiu's shoulders to help him stand still.

Wen Qiu thanked him embarrassingly, and hurried out with the plate, and came back after a while, asking Xia Yiqun if he wanted to help.

Xia Yiqun was a little upset, so he refused him straight away.

Xia Yiqun was upset for a reason, but it was not because of Wen Qiu.Before going out, he checked his e-mail and found an unread e-mail with no subject and an unfamiliar sender.He clicked on it and realized that it was written by Gu Zhihang, quite surprised.

What I wrote in the letter was all the little things that happened after arriving in the United States: the neighbor’s dog often sneaked into my yard to play, I couldn’t understand the whole English class at the beginning, I made new friends at school, The Chinese food eaten in the US is not authentic at all... something like that.

Xia Yiqun smiled while watching, as if the nagging Gu Zhihang was standing in front of him, as if they had returned to the previous relationship, and the accident on the school bus never happened.

Everything was fine until the end of the letter, but Gu Zhihang abruptly wrote down a paragraph:

"I respect and appreciate your kindness to me, but I cannot accept such feelings. Sorry. If it hurts you, then I will not contact you in the future. Sorry."

This passage has absolutely nothing to do with the content above, and the word "sorry" is particularly eye-catching.

Xia Yiqun smiled wryly: I'm sorry?This sentence should obviously be said by myself.

When I first read the letter, the distance I thought I was getting closer was suddenly pulled away by the sudden three words, even farther than before.

As expected, this feeling was too shocking, Gu Zhihang rejected it very thoroughly.

Gu Zhihang spoke so absolutely that Xia Yiqun didn't know what to do.

It was a rare weekend to go out of school, Mo Jingyi made a head start, and the girls went out shopping together.As soon as the girls left, the boys became more aggressive. Gu Wendong conjured up a case of beer out of nowhere, and called everyone to come over and have a drink.Wen Qiu had never touched alcohol before, so he put down the beer in the paper cup after drinking it.Gu Wendong didn't force him, but he was afraid that he would be bored, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Little scholar, go to Gu Zhihang's room to play, he has the most books there, you must like it."

Wen Qiu followed Gu Zhihang's room and went to Gu Zhihang's room. Apart from the bed and desk, there were indeed books all over the wall, neatly arranged by category.Wen Qiu saw at a glance the anthology of Jules Verne that he was reading recently, which was the earliest translated version in China, with exquisite binding and fascinating illustrations.Without thinking about it, he took out a copy of "Around the World in Eighty Days", moved the chair to the side of the cabinet, sat down, opened a page and read on.

After watching for some time, Wen Qiu heard someone approaching, raised his head, and found that it was Xia Yiqun.

Xia Yiqun was encouraged to drink by everyone.He usually gets dizzy after drinking too much rum, so he didn't want to drink it.But thinking of Gu Zhihang's letter made me feel depressed, and I couldn't bear Gu Wendong's fanning the flames from the side, so I drank a little anxiously, and only felt bad after three or four bottles, so I hurriedly found an excuse to go away, and hid in another room to get some air.

He walked unsteadily into Gu Zhihang's room, sat on the floor beside the bed, saw Wen Qiu staring at him, and signaled him to ignore himself and just read the book.

Xia Yiqun leaned back slightly, resting his head on the bed, closing his eyes and gasping for breath, his chest rising and falling.Seeing that Xia Yiqun was not feeling well, Wen Qiu went out and brought in a cup of warm water. When he returned to the room, Xia Yiqun sat up and was flipping through the book he had placed on the chair.Wen Qiu put the water glass by Xia Yiqun's hand, and sat back.

"You were reading this before." Xia Yiqun returned the book to Wen Qiu, "Last time I heard you discuss with Mo Jingyi, it seems that you like this book very much."

"Well, I love it. It's been an adventure from England to the Mediterranean, from India to China, from Japan to the United States, and from the United States back to the United Kingdom. If I have the opportunity to travel around the world and see these magnificent landscapes with my own eyes, it will be amazing. I'm so happy." It's rare for Wen Qiu to speak so many words in one breath, and every time he talks about books with someone, he will start talking.

"That's why you like this book?" Xia Yiqun disagreed.

"No, no, I certainly envy Mr. Fogg for being able to travel all over the world, but I hope that I can become a brave and strong person like him." Wen Qiu said with a smile, "Only brave and strong people can Completing the feat of circumnavigating the earth is worthy of a romantic ending with a beautiful woman home."

Wen Qiu looked at Xia Yiqun, and he leaned back again with his eyes closed.Wen Qiu thought he was asleep, so he quickly shut up.

Xia Yiqun returned home, sat in front of the computer, lost in thought.

When Wen Qiu delivered that impassioned statement in the afternoon, Xia Yiqun did not fall asleep. On the contrary, he was touched by Wen Qiu's words:

Only those who are brave and strong can complete the feat of traveling around the world and deserve a romantic ending.

He opened the mailbox and began to write a reply to Gu Zhihang.

The keyboard makes a crisp sound.

He wants to tell Xiaohang that he doesn't want to cut off contact from now on.

Gu Zhihang's letter is not the end, they haven't started yet, how can it end?

Xia Yiqun believed that Gu Zhihang was just frightened by his reckless behavior.Time is the best medicine to heal everything, as long as he can persevere bravely, one day, Gu Zhihang will calm down, see his true heart clearly, and even accept such feelings, and finally the two of them can have a romantic ending.

Xia Yiqun thought about it, and suddenly realized.

The author has something to say:
