Years are warm

The summer vacation is still very long. I was looking forward to the vacation to relax, but after a long vacation, I feel that I have nothing to do.

On the way, Xie Zhiyao went back to his hometown, and organized a school entrance banquet according to the family's wishes.

The family members always have a sense of ritual, so they invited some relatives and friends whose names they could barely name to come over for dinner. Curtains and the like, and even more exaggerated sent pennants over.

Xie Zhiyao dealt with these completely unfamiliar people, his face froze from smiling at the dinner table, and he used his mobile phone to send messages to Xu Huaian to complain.

[I feel that dealing with relatives is more tiring than taking another college entrance examination QAQ]

Xu Huaian sent a comforting emoji of touching his head.She didn't go back to Huaichuan, but had dinner with her grandparents who came from Huaichuan. Even if it was over, her family didn't pay much attention to it. The two old people agreed that the most important thing is for the children to be at ease instead of tossing about these things. There were proposals for Xu Huaian to go back, but they were all rejected.

Xie Zhiyao made some envious remarks from a distance, and went out resignedly to his fate, and then smiled to deal with the group of relatives.

Some people who brought the children unexpectedly made remarks that they wanted to learn from your sister.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, Xie Zhiyao always feels that the way the old man looks at him is a little subtle.

Is it because of Qingyun or because of the French department?Where did these two provoke him?She was a little baffled, but she didn't bother to ask. Anyway, it's a done deal, and he can't pass the Qingyun exam after all. Can he still push himself to repeat the exam?

Otherwise it would be ridiculous.

Fortunately, the old man didn't really say anything to her, but he still told her with a straight face that he should study hard when he was in college.The relationship between the two had been at a freezing point for a long time, Xie Zhiyao just responded with the politeness that a junior should have, and he still didn't bother to say anything else, which made Xie Yuanhong and Xia Lan sigh.

But they won't try to make peace either.

When I went back, there was still one month left of the summer vacation.

Anyway, having nothing to do, Xie Zhiyao asked Xu Huai'an who was also idle at home, and made up his mind that the two of them should just go on a trip.

The parents on both sides didn't have any objection to this. The Xu family's parents gave the money directly, and they seemed very relieved of their daughter. The Xie family heard that they were familiar children, so they didn't think too much about it. At most, they told them to remember to report Be safe and be safe.

The two didn't follow the group, and they did the strategy free exercise by themselves.

The first stop is the grasslands in the north.

Having seen many steel forests in the city, this is actually the first time they have seen such a scene.

From a distance, you can see the high snow-capped mountains peeking out from the clouds and mist, and the blue sky as the background. At first glance, it looks as beautiful as a painting.The wind in the field blows across the pasture, and the wind blows the grass low, as if blowing away layers of waves. The herdsmen rode horses and drove the sheep leisurely past the sight, and saw them, a group of young girls raising their whips and rushing They looked back.

"It's so beautiful."

While Xie Zhiyao sighed, he did not forget to habitually turn his head to look at Xu Huai'an beside him.

The girl's long, soft hair was blown a little messy by the wind. She stretched out her hands and tucked the broken hair behind her ears.

As if noticing the sight on her side, she turned her head and met her eyes for a moment.

Obviously it was a very familiar person, and it was obviously an extremely familiar face, but the moment Xie Zhiyao looked at her, his heart beat a beat suddenly.

Xu Huai'an's eyes were a little darker than hers, and they looked clear and profound at first glance.And the moment she turned around, her shadow was reflected in those eyes. Behind her was the vast wilderness world, but the eyes in front of her seemed to make her the only clear reflection in the world .

But this person didn't feel self-conscious about being a girlfriend, so he just tilted his head and called her, "Ayao?"

"Ahem, two little girls, look this way!" The tour guide's laughing voice suddenly came from behind, and the girls who were still looking at the scenery just now turned their heads and saw the tour guide holding up the camera in his hand with a smile .

Xie Zhiyao, who came to his senses, pulled the people around him, and hastily made a scissors hand.

"Come on, one, two, three—"

Amidst the laughter, the two turned their heads and looked at each other. Xu Huaian reached out to hold her palm, and the smiles in his eyes came up little by little.

Xie Zhiyao came back to his senses, grabbed her hand tightly and smiled. In such a short moment, an inexplicable emotion came to her heart, which made her feel completely soft.

"eggplant--"

The sound of the shutter is scattered in the wind, the young girls are laughing or making trouble, the brows of their eyes are still young and immature, they still retain the childishness of the teenagers, just like pure white paper that has not been painted with color.

Many years later, Xie Zhiyao found this photo from the interlayer of the bookshelf. Everyone who looked at the photo couldn't help but sigh with Xu Huai'an at the desk.

That was the summer they could never go back to.

Time passed quickly, and the last stop was Linjiang.

There were no people in the university town during the holiday, so the two of them went to visit Qingyun's campus, where they would live for the next four years.The artificial lake separates the campus from north to south, and many students in white coats hurried to the laboratory with textbooks and lab books.

Linjiang is older than Shenning, probably because they wanted to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance, the two of them stayed for two more days.

As a result, it happened to coincide with an exhibition in the school art gallery.Qingyun's Academy of Fine Arts is very famous, and it is not inferior to pure art schools. It is conceivable that an exhibition can be held here.

"Hey, Huai'an, is this author the one we wanted to see before?" Xie Zhiyao recalled, "It was the time at the playground."

Xu Huaian thought for a while and said, "Maybe?" She was not sensitive to the style of the works, but she remembered that the author of that exhibition should be surnamed Gu.

It was indeed right.

"Isn't that a coincidence?" Xie Zhiyao hooked her index finger back and forth, smiling, "Let's go, let's continue shopping?"

Xu Huai'an was pulled forward by her, and smiled a little.

Looking at the paintings one by one, apart from the gloomy one she saw on Graffiti Street at that time, there are actually colorful works, but... It is a bit strange that there is not a single portrait in it.

Logically speaking, this is not very common.

Xie Zhiyao stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds, when he suddenly heard someone calling Teacher Gu not far away.

Her heart moved, thinking that these art exhibitions might indeed be attended by herself, she quickly followed the voice to look over.

The appearance of the woman is quite beautiful, different from the childishness left by the teenagers. Women of this age look forward to their looks, and their gestures are full of charm, but what should be a very gorgeous face is daunting.She turned her face sideways and said a few words to the staff who called her just now, and then turned her head as if she noticed Xie Zhiyao's gaze.

Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shifted her eyes to look at the nearest painting. Her gaze flicked over the annotation next to it, and finally landed on the inconspicuous inscription.

This time, the name signed for the exhibition was not covered up.

Gu Xinci.

The woman looked over at almost the same moment she raised her head.

Xie Zhiyao is not very familiar with this name, at least not a very active painter in China, but it is definitely not ordinary people who can hold exhibitions here in Qingyun, so this...

"What's wrong?" Probably seeing that she was absent-minded, Xu Huaian stopped and asked her.

Before Xie Zhiyao could answer, the woman walked straight towards them. She was tall, and at first glance she felt a bit oppressive, and she was different from Xu Huai'an's habitual one. Cold, the face of this woman in front of her seemed to be covered with frost and snow all the time, as if nothing in this world could melt the frost and snow between her brows.

Xu Huai'an has a calm temper, but she can see Nuanrou in her eyes, and her... those eyes are empty.

Beauty is beauty, but it makes people panic.

Xie Zhiyao's throat twitched, and inexplicably felt a trance feeling of being pinched on the back of the neck when the woman looked over.

However, her gaze seemed to only stop on her for a moment, and then almost passed by without stopping at all.

Xie Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"Ayao? Zhiyao? Xie Zhiyao..."

She shivered, and quickly came back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw Xu Huaian's worried expression.

"What's the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?"

"No..." Xie Zhiyao took a deep breath and shook his head, "Shall we go?"

Xu Huai'an looked her up and down, and after making sure that she was fine, he didn't ask any further questions, and led her forward.

What the two of them didn't see was that Gu Xinci, who had passed by just now, suddenly stopped after hearing that Xie Zhiyao.

She turned sideways, her deep gaze over the bustling crowd accurately landed on the backs of the girls going away, then slowly moved down, and landed on the clasped fingers of the two.

He could vaguely see the girl's bright profile and the smile on her face.

Her lips seemed to twitch, and the hand wearing the ring clenched slightly.

Such an outstanding woman is the focus of attention anywhere, and many people looked at the woman who had stood there for a long time with curious eyes, as if wondering what she was thinking about.

Until the assistant hurried over to find her.

"Teacher Gu! The dean called you..."

The woman seemed to have just recovered, and there seemed to be something else in her retracted gaze.

The little assistant was keenly aware that her mood seemed not quite right, so he stopped talking carefully and asked her, "Teacher Gu?"

"Huh?" She seemed to raise her eyes a little bit out of interest, "Didn't you mean to look for me? Let's go then."

"Are you just now..." the little assistant blinked and asked tentatively.

Gu Xinci pursed her thin lips tightly, just when the assistant thought she would not answer, she suddenly opened her mouth: "In this world, there should be many people with the same name and surname, right?"

"Ah? Oh, yes. After all, there are so many people. It's not surprising that they have the same name." The little assistant couldn't figure out her intentions, so he could only follow along while leading her inside.

"They look a bit alike, and there should be many of them."

This question was also a bit inexplicable, and she couldn't figure it out, so she could only answer it dumbly.

"Mr. Gu saw someone he knows? But you haven't returned to China for so long, what if it really is?"

Gu Xinci paused and said, "No."

There seemed to be a shadow in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by her, making it impossible to notice.

"not."

The voice was very low, and if the assistant didn't get close, she could hardly hear what she was saying.

But Gu Xinci didn't seem to take it seriously, she took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little dazed.

A voice that she had deliberately forgotten for a long time and deliberately refused to recall rang in her ears.

"Aci! Stop drawing, come and do me a favor!"

"Huh? What?"

"Help me name my little niece."

"...Why don't you feel sorry for yourself?"

"Oh, sister Ci, come on..."

Her body trembled violently, and when she opened her eyes, the darkness seemed to engulf her.

"Teacher Gu?" The little assistant startled her.

She suddenly quickened her pace and walked forward, as if she was about to forget something.

In this world... there will be no such coincidences.

Will not.

The author has something to say:

Hmm... So have you guessed who Mr. Gu is? (laugh
