pamper her

Chapter 28

Gu Yanci did not go to the capital at that time.

Gu Xuanlang transferred to another school after finishing the second term of his sophomore year of high school, but Gu Yun had gone to arrange the company's affairs in advance as early as April.

If he hadn't been unable to find Gu Yanci, he wouldn't have left so quickly.

Because he would subconsciously think that Gu Yanci had gone to the capital.

Gu Yanci told the Li family that he went to the vicinity of Qing University, but it was actually just an excuse.

That place was too conspicuous, and he wasn't that stupid.

But the corner of this small city, once it is hidden with great concentration, it will be really difficult to find it in a short time.

He and his mother hid like this before, and it took Gu Yun nearly three years to find them.

But this time Gu Yun didn't have that much time.

Even if he had, Gu Yanci would stay here for half a year at most. Because of his good grades, he specially applied for a one-and-a-half year suspension from the school, and the school didn't object, but he still had to go to the capital sooner or later.

At least he procrastinated here until he came of age.

As long as you are an adult, many things will be easier to handle.

But he couldn't tell Li's parents that he was still here, in that case they would definitely try to help him.

He has owed them a lot these years, and he doesn't want to continue to rely on it brazenly.

Otherwise, how can I pay off in the future?
But fate is so wonderful.

When he was about to leave the city, he unexpectedly met Li Mianmian.

Gu Yanci smiled bitterly, but did not explain, but asked, "Are you coming to play with your classmates?"

Li Mianmian bit her lip and didn't answer.

"Which private room are you in?" Gu Yanci continued with his usual expression, "Brother will take you there."

Li Mianmian opened her mouth.

She really wanted to scold him why.

They haven't seen each other for almost a year, it would be fine if he was really in the capital, but they are clearly so close...so close.

The words came to his lips, but Li Mianmian couldn't say anything.

He has grown a little taller, his facial features have grown, and he is more handsome than before.

...he has lost a lot of weight.

Li Mianmian sniffed, fell silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "In room 304."

"Okay." Gu Yanci put down the things in his hands and walked out of the bar, "Brother will take you there."

Li Mianmian turned to greet Nan Shengsheng.

Seeing Gu Yanci, Nan Shengsheng covered her mouth in shock.

Then she felt the embarrassment that was about to overflow between the two of them, so she managed not to ask.

After entering the private room, Nan Shengsheng finally couldn't help it, and shook Li Mianmian vigorously: "What's going on, what's going on?!"

"..." Li Mianmian shook her head, "I don't know either."

"Isn't it?" Nan Shengsheng's eyes widened, "He didn't tell you that he was here?"

"..."

Not knowing whether it was self-consolation or what, Li Mianmian replied: "It should be because I just came back, so I haven't had time to talk about it yet. Isn't it summer vacation now? He might come back to do a summer job or something."

"Ah?" Nan Sheng was puzzled, "Is there any store next to his university, and he came back to work as a summer job? And he is so awesome, it is impossible to come to KTV to work as a summer job?"

"...I don't know either." Li Mianmian was restless and opened a can of drink very roughly, "Don't ask."

"Oh..." Nan Shengsheng closed her mouth awkwardly.
-
Carnival after the college entrance examination, many people want to play all night.

Li Mianmian originally planned to leave early, but she met Gu Yanci here, so she didn't want to leave so early.

Although, she had been sitting here for more than four hours, and Gu Yanci did not come to her.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Li Mianmian couldn't bear it any longer.

Three years of high school has engraved the biological clock in her bones, and it is already the limit for her to go to bed at twelve o'clock.

Nan Shengsheng couldn't hold on any longer, so he hugged her arm and urged her to leave together.

A few boys in the class may be night owls usually, but they are still very energetic at the moment.

Li Mianmian looked at the screen and listened to their chaotic howls and howls. She only insisted on one song, and then stood up decisively with her bag in her hand.

"Ah, you finally decided to leave..." Nan Shengsheng hurriedly stood up, and then yawned.

Infected by her, Li Mianmian also yawned, with physical tears pooling in her eyes.

They said goodbye to their classmates and walked outside with each other supporting each other.

Both were dizzy and walked like they were drunk.

Not long after going out, Li Mianmian saw Gu Yanci as soon as she looked up.

He was leaning against the wall at the end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets, his head bowed, not knowing what to think.

When Li Mianmian approached, he turned his head to look at it calmly, and then stood up straight.

It seemed that he hadn't thought about anything just now, but was just waiting for her.

"Have you played enough?" He asked, "Have you brought your mobile phone?"

Nan Shengsheng was walking blindly on Li Mianmian's shoulder with her eyes closed, but when she heard the sound, she jumped up from Li Mianmian's shoulder and silently took a step back.

Li Mianmian took out her mobile phone and replied, "I have it."

Gu Yanci nodded: "Call your father and ask him to pick you up."

"I told them to take a taxi back." Li Mianmian put the phone back into his pocket again, "It's so late, they must be asleep."

"They won't sleep if you haven't gone back." Gu Yanci said, "Call."

Li Mianmian seemed to be in a fight with him, and said with a stern, "I don't!"

"..."

Gu Yanci sighed, his tone was very gentle: "Be obedient."

Li Mianmian stared at him, endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, and said, "Why can't you send me off?"

Gu Yan was silent.

After a while, he was still defeated first.

"Okay." He said, "Brother will take you back."

He turned around and walked ahead, went to the bar and said something to the young lady, and then took a bunch of keys from the young lady.

Li Mianmian followed him and left the KTV.

There were cars parked in the open space outside, and when they walked to the corner, Gu Yanci pressed the key, and a black car flashed its lights.

Li Mianmian asked in surprise, "Brother, did you buy a car?"

"No." Gu Yanci opened the door and let her in, "It's the boss's car."

Then he sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt and said, "Do you still remember brother Yan Shinan? It's the brother who looks like a stick."

"Well, I remember." Li Mianmian recalled, "He even gave me a duck egg on my birthday."

"Yes, that's him." Gu Yanci smiled, "This KTV belongs to their family."

"In the past, my brother often helped out at their KTV. But that KTV was not so large, and it didn't open so far. Now this is an expanded branch, and I will help them manage it for the time being."

After a pause, he said: "At that time, my brother was underage, and only acquaintances like them were willing to take him in."

Li Mianmian nodded: "Oh."

No wonder he used to go home early in the morning. It turned out that the night shift he mentioned was working at KTV.

After hesitating for a while, Li Mianmian asked, "Then why do you..."

Halfway through speaking, she stopped talking again.

She wanted to ask why she heard someone scold him when she called him before, but she couldn't ask this question in front of Nan Shengsheng.

And now she almost has the answer.

Yan Shinan has a very good relationship with him. Seeing that he can drive other people's cars casually, it is estimated that Yan Shinan's parents also like him, so it must not be the boss who scolded him.

There are often people in KTV who get drunk and go crazy. If someone scolds him, it is likely to be this type of person.

Li Mianmian thought again, he must not have been scolded just that time.

He helped out at KTV a long time ago, how old was he then?Seventeen?or earlier?
He is such an unyielding person...

He is admired by everyone in school, like a god...

But at a very young age, he learned to endure.

Li Mianmian finally understood why he always felt that Gu Yanci was different from other people of his age.

Because he entered society prematurely and took on the burden that did not belong to his age.

She herself was often gossiped, beaten and scolded before.

But she never forbears.

She has nothing to forbear.

The most valuable, and the only valuable, but only this life.

At worst, she would risk her life.

Also let those who bullied her taste the consequences.

But to Gu Yanci, it seemed that there was something more important than life.

In other words, he regards many things as more important than his life and dignity.

Because of the presence of Nan Shengsheng, the two people behind did not speak any more.

Gu Yanci sent Nan Shengsheng home first.

When parking, Li Mianmian followed Nan Shengsheng down, and then changed to the passenger seat.

Gu Yanci glanced at her and reminded, "Fasten your seat belt."

Li Mianmian fastened his seat belt.

"Don't tell your family when you get back." Gu Yanci started the car, his words were very calm, "Don't tell them that you met me."

"Why?" Li Mianmian asked immediately.

"It's useless to say it." Gu Yan resigned, "I will return to the capital next month at the most."

"..."

Li Mianmian bit her lip and kept silent for a while, then asked angrily, "Are you lying to me again?"

"...I won't lie to you this time." Gu Yanci curled his lips, "Isn't my brother going to start school? This time I really have to leave."

Li Mianmian asked repeatedly: "Then why didn't you leave before? Why did you lie to us?"

Gu Yanci was speechless.

"It's like this again..." Li Mianmian held on to her seat belt tightly, and turned her face out of the window, "You're always like this...don't tell me anything..."

She wanted to cry a little bit, but couldn't cry.

Even though the two were sitting so close, she felt that there was a long distance between herself and Gu Yanci.

——It is no longer time to throw yourself into his arms and cry loudly.

After a long time, Gu Yanci said slowly: "Speaking out about my brother will make you unhappy."

"Then it's okay to be unhappy!" Li Mianmian said loudly, "I'm also very unhappy when you are like this! You lied to me and I also..."

"Mumu."

Gu Yanci's voice was gentle and calm, just a few words made Li Mianmian completely quiet.

"After a while, when you are fully grown up, my brother will tell you. If you still want to know at that time."

He said softly: "At least with you, brother wants to be decent."

Li Mianmian didn't understand.

But she somehow didn't want to make trouble anymore.

"Okay." She wiped her sore eyes, "Then I'll ask you later."
-
After sending Li Mianmian home, Gu Yanci turned on the lights to watch her walk into the corridor, and then looked out through the windshield, without starting the car immediately.

He didn't know what he was looking at, but he felt that this place made him feel at ease, so he unconsciously stayed there for a long time.

Li Mianmian went upstairs, opened the door carefully, and after entering, she saw Lan Qingwan and Li Changfeng lying on the sofa, watching TV.

Sure enough, as Gu Yanci said, they won't sleep until she comes home.

To be remembered like this in my heart, I am really happy, but also really guilty.

At this time, Li Mianmian seemed to understand a little bit why Gu Yanci would hide from them that he hadn't actually gone to the capital.

She walked over to sit with her parents and briefly talked about the interesting things tonight.

Gu Yan's resignation was not mentioned.

Not only tonight.

In the following two months, she never mentioned Gu Yanci again.

She didn't know when Gu Yanci left here, and he didn't take the initiative to tell himself.

They seldom called on the phone afterwards, and only sent simple greetings to each other through text messages when he was free.

It was originally agreed to come back when I was free, but it seemed that there was never a time when I was "free".

During the festival, Gu Yanci would still send a gift, but there was no greeting card.

It seems that since that night, some kind of unspeakable tacit understanding has been reached between them.

Li Mianmian didn't want to let herself become one of Gu Yanci's burdens, and didn't want to let herself be burdened with his life and dignity.

And Gu Yanci should be the same as her.

Only when people have no worries, can they give it a go, can they concentrate on it and move forward bravely.

Just like she once dared to fight others desperately for a small quarrel.

Now that she has parents and a younger brother, she has become timid, and she no longer dares to bet her life casually.
-
The three years of high school were boring, but extremely fulfilling.

Li Mianmian was able to take the first few exams at first, but later she began to take care of painting, and her grades were only stable in the top fifty.

But it was enough for her to go to college.

It's just that she didn't choose Tsinghua University in the end to apply for a volunteer, but went to another top art academy in China, because there are better design majors there.

In the past, she would always be unconvinced, thinking that she was already very mature, why did the adults still hide many things from her.

I don't know why, but in the past two months, she realized that when her thoughts matured, she would indeed have different views and choices on those things.

In the past, she took the first place because she always wanted to follow in Gu Yanci's footsteps, and her dreams were all related to Gu Yanci.

But later, she did it for her own exams, for her choice of university and major, and she would never blindly follow in Gu Yanci's footsteps.

In the end, she did not study at the same university as Gu Yanci, but she did not regret her choice.

And never hesitated.

She still likes him very, very, very much.

Miss him very much too.

But she had learned not to see herself as his shadow.

She found her way.

Even without him, she can live a wonderful life.
-
Before the university term started, the family sent Li Mianmian to school, and also spent a few days in the capital by the way.

Not long after the start of school, it was military training, plus other things, and after more than a month of busy work, Li Mianmian finally got a little respite.

She hesitated for a long time, but still sent Gu Yanci a message that she had started school.

Before that, she only sent him a text message when she got the admission notice.

Gu Yanci did not reply for a long time.

She's used to it. In the past, he didn't reply until a week later, so she didn't pay attention to it after sending the message.

Two days later, Gu Yanci finally sent a text message, the content was very simple, congratulations on her admission, and then asked her to study hard like many times before.

Li Mianmian only replied "OK".

Her school is more than ten kilometers away from Qingda University, whether it is far or close.

It is a distance that cannot be passed at any time, but it is very easy to pass if you want to.

Li Mianmian is now worried about being close to her hometown, so she didn't go to Qingda University with her roommate until the National Day.

It's a pity that this school is too big, it is almost impossible to meet Gu Yanci.

What's more, he is now a sophomore, and he is busy with his studies most of the time.

Li Mianmian didn't tell him about her going to Tsinghua University, because she knew he was busy and didn't want to trouble him.

The second is... She and Gu Yanci are not so close now.

Their current relationship is even more awkward than that of ordinary classmates.

Obviously very familiar, but dare not meet easily.

Although Li Mianmian met once more than three months ago, he still can't imagine what Gu Yanci looks like now, nor can he imagine what his expression will be when he sees himself now.

She was old enough to tell him boldly about her long crush.

Even going a little too far, she can imagine the scene of the two of them together.

But the more this happened, the less she dared to take that step.

As younger sisters, although they are a bit unfamiliar for the time being, based on their experience, they should be able to get close again soon.

And this identity can be maintained for a lifetime.

And being lovers...

It is a brand-new choice with no clear future and extremely high risks.

These two choices will determine how she will face him with her mood and appearance.

Li Mianmian was still struggling, so she didn't dare to see him easily.

After such a struggle, because Gu Yanci had almost completed his studies perfectly, he could graduate one year ahead of schedule, and it was time for Gu Yanci to graduate in a blink of an eye.

In fact, before this, Li Mianmian secretly went to Tsinghua University several times.

Holding an ambivalence that neither wants him to find out, but also wants him to find out.

It's a pity that their fate didn't seem to be that deep, and she didn't meet Gu Yanci during the few times she went to Tsinghua University.

On the day when Tsinghua University held its graduation ceremony, Li Mianmian also ran to Tsinghua University with her roommates to join in the fun with a mentality of "the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge".

Subconsciously, she still felt that it was difficult to meet him.

After all, how many students are there in one grade of Tsinghua University?The graduation ceremony was crowded with students, and she couldn't even find her roommate, let alone Gu Yanci.

However, she underestimated Gu Yanci's ability.

He is a person who can shine everywhere.

There are graduates wearing the same clothes everywhere, and it is impossible to tell who is who unless you look carefully.

But Gu Yanci is like a tall and straight pine tree, his extraordinary temperament and handsome face make him stand out from the crowd.

From a long distance away, Li Mianmian saw him standing on the grass surrounded by a group of people taking pictures.

At the moment when the photo was frozen, Gu Yanci seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly turned his head to look in her direction.

The crowd was crowded, and their eyes met from afar.

Li Mianmian saw his lips moving, as if calling her:
"Mumu."
