wrong love

Gu Chengxi didn't know why, so he raised his head and stared at Shen Qingcheng in a daze.

Complaining about mistakes has always been a knot in Gu Chengxi's heart.Although she understands that both parents and Shen Qingcheng are not to blame for this matter, she can accept Shen Qingcheng's existence now, but it doesn't mean that she can look at and talk about this matter without any grudges.

Before getting acquainted with Shen Qingcheng, she thought about talking to him.Like two strangers connected by some accident, they can openly talk about their thoughts, but there are always mistakes and no chance.

After getting acquainted with each other, she lost the courage to talk about it.

If she still regarded Shen Qingcheng as a stranger, then no matter what the other party said or did, she felt that she could bear it.But now, she has regarded Shen Qingcheng as a friend, and she has taken off her armor against strangers. Not to mention Shen Qingcheng disapproving or thinking that she is hypocritical, even if she sympathizes or understands her, she doesn't know how to face it.

So... She timidly chose to escape, and carefully avoided mentioning any related matters in front of Shen Qingcheng.Even if Shen Qingcheng threatened her with Jiang Xueqing, she would just give in quickly and never bargain.Try not to mention the parents of both parties in the chat as much as possible, as if there is no relationship between the two families, as if there is no such thing as a wrong.

But... still can't avoid it...

What would Shen Qingcheng say?She felt very nervous for a moment, as if she was waiting for some trial.She was afraid that she would hear something embarrassing her next moment, and her heart beat faster...

Shen Qingcheng didn't seem to want to meet her eyes, and just as soon as their eyes crossed, they quickly lowered their eyelids.Holding the bamboo stick with his slender and fair fingers, he pricked the fish balls a few times unconsciously, and then said carefully:

"Although Gu's father and Gu's mother have no blood relationship with you, they raised you up little by little, and the relationship of living together for more than ten years cannot be replaced. You may think that they like me more, but It's just their guilt as their biological parents. They feel that they didn't raise me with their own hands, and they want to give me some compensation. Just like many families, when they have guests, they will be very kind and polite to the children of the guests. This does not mean that These families really love their guests’ children more.”

"We've grown up, we're going to be adults soon, and many things are set and can't be changed. Whether they have feelings for me or me for them, they don't have parent-child feelings. Not now, and never will. So , you don’t need to mind this matter. Of course they are still your parents, and your grandpa is still your grandpa.”

Shen Qingcheng's cold voice sounded faint, but it miraculously had a soothing power, which warmed Gu Chengxi's heart and made her feel extremely wronged instantly.

The two families have known each other for almost half a year. Jiang Xueqing and Gu Chenglin had comforted Gu Chengxi when they first found out about this matter, promising that everything would go on as usual.But they didn't seem to realize at all that every time they prepared all kinds of delicate and troublesome dishes for Shen Qingcheng's visit early, and racked their brains to buy gifts for Shen Qingcheng, Gu Chengxi felt so frightened, confused, and How much grievance.

Gu Chengxi has been trying to convince himself to be normal and magnanimous, don't mind, don't be naive, let alone blame Shen Qingcheng childishly.Unexpectedly, the first person who could understand her and comfort her was Shen Qingcheng.

Gu Chengxi felt that her nose was a little sore and her throat was a little choked. She didn't want Shen Qingcheng to see her in a mess, so she turned her head away and sucked her nose twice.

Shen Qingcheng glanced at her and pushed the bowl away, "Let's go, let's go back. It's...too cold outside."

On the way back, Gu Chengxi was rare to be silent, and Shen Qingcheng was always quiet and silent.The two walked back side by side in silence.

When entering the building quickly, Shen Qingcheng didn't know what he thought of, his dark eyes looked at the void in the distance, and he said with a name in a rare way:

"Gu Chengxi. In this world, only you can give yourself a sense of security. It's meaningless to worry about things that cannot be changed. Instead of worrying about these things, it's better to work hard to make yourself stronger."

Gu Chengxi didn't quite understand why Shen Qingcheng suddenly mentioned the sense of security. After thinking about it, she thought that she might mean that the reason why she minded was because of a lack of security.This statement is not wrong, but can a person really only have himself to give himself a sense of security?Gu Chengxi was not sure, so he had to answer vaguely: "Hmm."

Gu Chengxi reached out and pressed the up button of the elevator.There were not many people going in and out at night. After a while, the elevator came, and the two entered the elevator.There were only the two of them in the elevator, Gu Chengxi pressed the floor silently.

The elevator moved up slowly, and the number showing the floor had just reached 3. Suddenly, the elevator car trembled and stopped.

Gu Chengxi looked up at the control panel of the elevator in astonishment. Before she could see clearly, the light on the top of the car flashed twice and then went out.The entire car was plunged into darkness, without any light at all.

Before Gu Chengxi had time to react, he suddenly felt that his wrist was being grabbed.

She instinctively took out her mobile phone and turned on the screen. The scattered light from the mobile phone reflected Shen Qingcheng's pale face, and one hand was tightly grasping Gu Chengxi's wrist.

"It's okay," Gu Chengxi comforted subconsciously, reminding Shen Qingcheng, "Take your phone and turn on the flashlight first, and I'll call someone."

The Gu family lived in an old commodity house before, and the elevator in it was older than her, and it was broken every day.Fortunately, there was no major accident. It was just that the people inside were locked up for a while, and they could only come out when the maintenance personnel came.So Gu Chengxi is not surprised when he sees a lot, and he knows how to deal with it, so he is not nervous.

"I... charged my phone in the room, but I didn't bring it down." Shen Qingcheng's voice was no longer calm and flat as usual, but trembling slightly.

"Then you wait for me to call first." Gu Chengxi found the maintenance phone number on the nameplate of the elevator with the dim light of the phone, and dialed it.The phone was connected, and the ringing sound kept ringing until it was automatically hung up because it took too long, and no one answered the phone.Tried it twice, still the same.

Gu Chengxi hadn't had time to charge his phone today, and there was only one battery left.She estimated that the other party's mobile phone might no longer be with her, and it was obviously unwise to continue calling to just use up the battery in vain.So she shook her mobile phone and explained to Shen Qingcheng:

"My phone is running out of battery, and no one answered it there. Maybe I didn't see the phone, so I had to call again in a few minutes. Shall we wait for a while?"

Shen Qingcheng's thin lips were tightly pursed, and her usually pale face became increasingly pale, and she nodded with difficulty.

Xi Wei's light went out, and the car returned to darkness.

In the darkness, people's tactile sensitivity suddenly increased, and Gu Chengxi felt that the hand on his wrist became cold, as if it was still trembling slightly.

A fragment of memory suddenly popped up in his mind, it was a love letter written by Yao Tong, in which it seemed to mention that Shen Qingcheng was afraid of the dark.

It seems that she is really afraid of the dark.

"Wait a minute," Gu Chengxi put the phone back into his pants pocket without thinking, and removed Shen Qingcheng's hand from his wrist.Quickly took off the school uniform on her body, put it on Shen Qingcheng, and then stretched out her hands to grab her two hands.

"Don't be afraid, there is me."

"Well," Shen Qingcheng's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

The two stood in this position for a while, and Gu Chengxi could feel that Shen Qingcheng not only did not relax, but became more tense, and the trembling spread from his hands to his whole body.

Shen Qingcheng, she... was so scared... so terribly...

……

In fact, from the moment the elevator lights went out and the car fell into darkness, Shen Qingcheng began to tremble all over.But she has been working hard to suppress it, not wanting to be discovered by Gu Chengxi.But as time goes by, more and more efforts are required, and the suppression effect is getting worse.

In my mind, some distant and familiar images began to flash uncontrollably...

The goblet slammed hard on the marble floor, making a thrilling crisp sound...

The man's violent and angry roar...

A barely audible sob in the silence...

The narrow light under the door of the children's room and the endless darkness in the room...

It seemed that there were waves of chills seeping into her body from the bottom of her feet, as if she was alive, all the way up, up, until it spread to the whole body.She finally couldn't help it, and trembled slightly...

……

Gu Chengxi let go of one hand and dialed the maintenance number again, but the other party still didn't answer, so he had to put the phone back in his pocket.

"Shen Qingcheng," she hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly asked in a negotiating tone, "How about I hug you."

"Well……?"

……

Before Shen Qingcheng recovered from the feeling of falling into an ice cave, she felt that in the darkness, two hands clumsily helped her tighten the school uniform on her body, wrapping her body as tightly as possible. among.Then, two slender arms stretched out, wrapping her in a warm embrace.Both hands were a little stiff and clumsy, patting her back lightly as if to appease, once, again...

Through the clothes, she could feel the girl's thin body, the muscles all over her body were tense, and her waist was straight.The small face seemed to be turned aside to avoid suspicion.

The warmth of her body penetrated through the clothes, melting the chill all over her body bit by bit.The strong heartbeat seemed to convey power, which thawed her limp limbs and regained her freedom.

The picture in my mind gradually faded away, and the countless noises that traveled through time returned to calm.

……

She stretched out her arms and put them around the girl's waist.He lowered his head and leaned his face on the shoulder socket that was close at hand. His hard collarbone was still a little piercing through the sweater, but it made people feel at ease...

"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Someone whispered in the ear, the voice was immature and tender, but it was gentle and serious.

She felt as if something in her heart was gently touched, like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Round and round...

……

In the darkness, Gu Chengxi's heart beat like a drum, and his whole body was stiff.Opening her arms was just a moment of thought, and she didn't feel nervous until afterward.

Would Shen Qingcheng find this offensive?Will you blame her?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassing she became.For a moment, she even wanted to let go of her hand and step aside, but another force pinned her in place.A small voice in her heart was shouting vigorously and persistently, "Protect her, protect her!" The noise made her dizzy.

She turned her face away, not wanting the other party to feel the temperature on her face.

After an unknown amount of time, a light touch came from her waist, and two arms wrapped around her.Thin hair brushed her neck, sideways.Itchy, crispy.

As soon as her heart relaxed, she felt that she was about to collapse from exhaustion.

It's more tiring than playing a game of basketball...

However, she thought a little proudly and a little funny, Shen Qingcheng didn't know everything, nor was everything she said right.At least what she said just now was wrong.

Sometimes, she can also give her a sense of security...
