wrong love

When the phone rang early the next morning, Gu Chengxi was dreaming.

In the dream, Shen Qingcheng was sitting at the dining table at home, and there was a sumptuous meal on the table.Jiang Xueqing and Gu Chenglin sat on both sides of Shen Qingcheng, one was busy serving soup, the other was busy adding vegetables.Jiang Xueqing also stretched out her hand to touch Shen Qingcheng's head, her face full of love, "This is my good daughter."

Shen Qingcheng smiled with crooked eyebrows, looked at Jiang Xueqing for a while, and Gu Chenglin for a while, the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.

Gu Chengxi stood in a long black corridor and wanted to walk forward, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't get closer. The corridor was dark, and the picture of a family of three in front was bright. It seemed to be right in front of him, but it was far away. .There was also a bright light at the other end of the corridor. She looked over and saw Lin Tan and Shen Nanshan standing side by side, staring at her coldly, with disgust on their faces, "You are not our child, we don't have children like you .”

The light on both sides dimmed, only the endless darkness and the lonely self, tears came out and flowed down the cheeks...

At this moment, the phone rang.

Gu Chengxi struggled for two seconds to open his eyes, wiped away his tears, and grabbed his phone.

The call was from Jiang Xueqing.

"I made an appointment to celebrate your birthday outside at night, and Aunt Lin will pick you up after school, so you come with the car," Jiang Xueqing babbled on the phone, and told her carefully like a child, "Remember to call someone."

Gu Chengxi's throat still had the feeling of being suffocated, and he coped sullenly: Uh.

Jiang Xueqing was very dissatisfied, "I haven't woken up yet, why are you getting up so late? Did you have a good breakfast when you got up so late?"

Gu Chengxi was afraid that she would not stop nagging, so he hurriedly answered a few words and hung up the phone.

When I touched it with my hand, the pillow was wet from her crying.

She was listless all day, and Du Mingming tried to talk to her several times but failed.

The High School Attached to Normal University is a boarding system, and many students live in remote places. Therefore, on weekends, school ends earlier than usual to make it easier for students who are far away to go home.At 04:30 in the afternoon, school is over.

The students who had been locked up in the school for a week swarmed out like birds eager to return home.

Gu Chengxi received a WeChat message from Lin Tan, saying that he had arrived at the school gate.She glanced at the seat next to her, but she didn't see Shen Qingcheng, and she didn't know if she had left first, so she decided to talk to Lin directly.

Lin Tan's car was parked next to the school gate, so it was easy to find.Gu Chengxi greeted him with some discomfort, and took the initiative to sit in the back row.Lin Tan is wearing a floral cheongsam today, with two pearl studs on his ears, paired with black curly hair, gentle and charming.

She didn't ask why Gu Chengxi didn't come here with Shen Qingcheng, but said gently: "We'll leave after Chengcheng, are you hot? There's ice cream just bought in the refrigerator, do you want to eat it?"

Gu Chengxi shyly refused: "Auntie Lin, I don't want to eat now, thank you."

She sat on the back seat with her back tensed, feeling uncomfortable. She hadn't gotten used to the change in her background, and she didn't know how to face Lin Tan and Shen Nanshan, her biological parents. She looked at them and felt strange.She couldn't call her parents to them, didn't know what to say to them, and even felt awkward when she smiled.

In fact, she didn't dislike Lin Tan. Lin Tan was beautiful, with fair skin, a tall figure, and exquisite features.Even in a place like Lincheng, she is a Jiangnan beauty with outstanding temperament.What's more, Lin Tan never persecuted her, and would not just drag her and talk endlessly, just like Jiang Xueqing did to Shen Qingcheng.Lin Tan would only say a few words softly when something happened, his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, making people want to get closer.

Sometimes she would even feel a little annoyed secretly. The two families said that her eyebrows and eyes looked like Lin Tan, but for some reason she didn't have Lin Tan's gentle and graceful temperament, but was a bit carefree.This mentality made her more cautious when facing Lin Tan.

Just as she was looking at the back of Lin Tan's head in a daze, Shen Qingcheng arrived, opened the car door, sat in the co-pilot's seat logically, and expertly put on the seat belt.

Lin Tan locked the car door, turned on the ignition, held the steering wheel, and said casually: "Chengcheng, there is some ice cream I just bought in the refrigerator."

Shen Qingcheng's voice was a little excited, "Chocolate?"

Lin Tan turned his head slightly, "Of course. Xixi, help me carry it. The refrigerator is at the back."

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Shen Qingcheng, and there was a bit of affection and liveliness in the voice, and the second half of the sentence returned to its usual gentleness, but the contrast was obvious, and a hint of politeness and alienation could be heard.

Gu Chengxi snorted, found the refrigerator, took out an ice cream cone from it, and handed it to Shen Qingcheng in the front row.

Shen Qingcheng took the ice cream and smiled at her, not at all as if the two hadn't talked at all these days.

She's also good at acting!

Gu Chengxi complained in his heart.

The ice cream was huge, and there were three brown ice cream balls in the baked brown and crispy cone, Shen Qingcheng bit into it with her white teeth, and praised repeatedly, "Well, Mom, this is the homemade ice cream from last time. "

Lin Tan turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, "Yeah, you are the only one with a naughty mouth, and you eat it as soon as you eat it. Wipe your mouth, you are so grown up, and you still eat like a cat."

The words were words of reproach, but there was no hint of reproach in his tone, and the love in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Mom, just leave me alone, you don't know how pitiful I am at school, and now I have to be talked about when I eat something. Flower cats are flower cats, and no one sees them. I will wipe them later." Shen Qingcheng's ending sound dragged It's very long, the voice is soft and waxy, and the intimacy reveals the cuteness of a girl, which is completely different from the cold and cold image in school.

Gu Chengxi turned his head to the window.

The car slowly drove out of the Normal University campus and merged into the traffic on the main road.

The speakers in the car sounded, and soothing tunes flowed out, clear and melodious.

For some reason, Gu Chengxi always felt that there was a sense of loneliness and melancholy in the melody, she silently thought, Lin Tan likes this style of music...

Many years later, Gu Chengxi sometimes thinks of this moment: thinking of this song, thinking of Lin Tan who picked them up, thinking of the chocolate ice cream she wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to ask for.At that time, she already knew the name of the piece: Original Scenery of Hometown.What she didn't know was, if it was Jiang Xueqing or Gu Chenglin who came to pick them up instead of Lin Tan, would the story between her and Shen Qingcheng be different?

But fate has no ifs.

This afternoon in the late summer and early autumn, the invisible hand of fate lightly tapped a small, completely inconspicuous wave. The cause and effect of the agitation can only be seen after a long time...
