Three years later

Yuejiang Punan Airport

The mobile crowd dragged their luggage in a hurry. Walking behind the line was a young man in the dust, wearing a beige sweater, a black woolen overcoat, a pair of dark trousers, and slender casual shoes. His body is slender and well-proportioned.

Looking around at will, the man's clear-cut face is a little tired, with a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his brows reveal a gentle and restrained temperament, a bit of a modest gentleman.

"Hi, I just got off the plane." The man was holding a black suitcase in one hand and a cell phone in the other, his steps were unhurried, and his tone was as calm as his tone, "Well, it's been done, and the tax bureau has also negotiated Alright, read the fax again, okay, I know, don’t forget the year-end dividend.”

The man slid his thumb across the phone screen, checking the inbox and missed calls, as if he was looking forward to something, but then he was disappointed like every time, his eyes stopped on a text message: Gu Dong, I have been unable to get through to you, You must come to my wedding tomorrow, you promised me.

Gu Dong pursed his dry lips and called, "He Jing, I just saw the text message, I will go tomorrow."

A laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Then let me know when you arrive tomorrow, and I will pick you up."

Gu Dong stood where he was, put his phone back into his coat pocket, took out a piece of milk candy, and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweetness on the tip of his tongue was always the original taste, just like the feeling this city brought him. changed.

Three years, said long, but passed by in a flash, said short, there are more than 1000 days, three spring and autumn, many things happened.

When Gu Cheng came back that time, he was depressed for a long time, and his mood was extremely unstable. He had an argument with his colleagues, which was not pleasant. Later, he changed companies, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.

The little fur ball at home became a big fur ball, and Xiao Wo moved from the living room to the second bedroom, right next to Gu Dong's bed, and became good friends with Mr. Xiong.

After graduation, Sheng Chenguang successfully realized his dream and became a tennis referee, while helping Sheng Ming manage his family business and take care of his body.

Zhang Yiyang stayed in school for graduate studies, while Chu Jiran went to work in a law firm, but often went back to school by car from the other side of the city.

He Jing, a high school classmate, dropped out of school due to family changes, and came to cross the river with that obsession, and opened a clothing store in the back street of Gu Dong School, and they became friends afterwards.

Gong Yu's buddy, Li Yuan, Gu Dong's counselor, and He Jing ran into each other by mistake.

Zhang Wenqing, who was diagnosed as infertile, managed to get pregnant. Just last month, she had an argument with Zhong Bowen's lover and almost had a miscarriage. Fortunately, there was no danger.

Zhong Bowen is a typical career-minded man. Everyone in the business world knows about his self-made brilliance. He wants his son to continue his brilliance, but the other party doesn't want it.

In the spring of two years ago, Jiang Yuan exchanged her own life for a daughter named Nian Nian, who is now two years old and very well-behaved. She has no mother, but she has an uncle Lu Anxiu who loves her very much.

After Lu Anxiu's wife found out about this incident, she filed for divorce with Lu Anxiu. After procrastinating for almost a year, she finally divorced.

The number of Xia Zhiyuan's blind dates has reached an astonishing number, but he is still single, alone, and comes here every now and then for dinner.

People around me are walking and stopping, there will always be that one person who is special and irreplaceable, and some things are special and long-lasting, engraved in my heart in the flickering and flickering.

Gu Dong is a person who keeps his promises. After graduation, he did not take over Tengyu, but joined Xia Zhiyuan's company to help him. The affairs he handled were not heavy. Many times he liked to hold a cup of tea in a daze, and he could sit for a whole day.

I heard that Gu Yan and Lu Shi left the country, I heard that Gu Yan was going to serve in the army, I heard that Gu Yan was injured during a mission, all I got in the past few years was just hearing.

He was very angry at first, but then he stopped being angry. Si Lian was too tired to be alone.

The elongated thoughts slowly withdrew, the lines between Gu Dong's eyebrows deepened, he stopped suddenly, his eyes behind the glasses narrowed a slit, and the back that passed through his line of sight just now reminded him of a person, the one whose life or death was unknown.

These years, there is still no news about Zhao Yi and Ning Qingrang, and it seems that they really died in that accident, but he faintly feels that his life is being supervised, and there is a hand behind him to help him remove all obstacles, such as Some difficult problems encountered can always be resolved smoothly.

On the way home, Gu Dong called Gu Cheng to report his itinerary, listening to the other party's nagging, he felt more at ease.

The house was still the same three-bedroom and one-living room. When Gu Dong opened the door, he saw a big gray mass rushing towards him. He took off his shoes and rubbed his feet against the other person's body.

"Furball kid, do you miss me?"

The furball lay down skillfully, with its belly facing up and its paws curled up on its chest, "Meow~"

Gu Dong saw the look of it waiting to be blessed, couldn't help but chuckled, rubbed its belly with his feet, and circled it twice, "You still have a conscience, unlike someone who will be three times as soon as you leave. Year..." The next moment he smiled wryly, why he couldn't help but mutter.

The fur ball narrowed its eyes comfortably, flicked its tail back and forth on the ground, and meowed non-stop.

Gu Dong put the vegetables in his hands on the coffee table, squatted down and picked up the fat cat that was still waiting to be rubbed, "Okay, stop being cute, shame on you."

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Gu Dong said to the empty room, "The black fish in the vegetable market is very fresh, let's cook black fish soup, I also bought tofu, and fried radish and roasted pork. Star anise and cinnamon, by the way, the aunt who sells vegetables even gave me a handful of shallots..."

Meowing at the back of its owner, Fuqiu scratched its furry head suspiciously, with its paws propped on the floor, its tail hanging down, and its ears pricked up. It seemed that it was thinking deeply.

Gu Dong casually threw his luggage aside, took off his overcoat, and fell into the quilt with a whole body of exhaustion, lying in a position that would suffocate himself for a long time.

He opened the suitcase and took out the laptop that had been used for more than three years. He touched the blurred label in the lower left corner with his fingers. After checking the email box, he climbed up to Qiuqiu to contact Xia Zhiyuan. Christmas was coming, and the window that popped up It's all very festive.

Mr. Xiong eating biscuits: Are you there?

Changhe Sunset Yuan: in 【circle】

Gu Dong found the lighter, took out another cigarette, lit it up and took a puff, held it in his mouth, and quickly tapped his fingers on the keyboard.

Mr. Xiong who eats biscuits: I will send you the drafted rough outline now, and you can tell me if you need to make changes.

Changhe Sunset Yuan: Good [smile]

It showed that the file was successfully received, and Gu Dong was about to log off, when he seemed to remember something, he suddenly stopped.

Changhe Luoyang Yuan: Gu Xiaodong, you said you would bring me souvenirs, did you forget? [crying]

The corner of Gu Dong's mouth twitched. He was a 30-year-old man, and he was as cute as a fur ball. A smile appeared in his eyes, and he paused his fingers to type out a line of words.

Mr. Xiong eating biscuits: I touched my head, I didn’t forget, I bought a lot, A Yuan, I’m going to attend He Jing’s wedding tomorrow, so I won’t go to your place.

On the other side, sitting in the conference room with a stern expression and listening to the employees report the year-end summary, President Xia, who was secretly poking his phone, twitched his facial muscles.

Changhe Luoyangyuan: Tomorrow weekend, I happen to have nothing to do, so you give me a little red envelope, half of the red envelope, how about it?

Mr. Xiong eating biscuits: That's it.

After chatting nonsense for a while, Gu Dong closed his laptop and lay back on the bed.

The things in the room haven't changed much, the books on the bookshelves are not covered with dust, they are neatly arranged, the big bow on Mr. Xiong's neck is a bit old, traces of the past three years.

Gu Dong raised his left hand and put it in front of his eyes. He twirled the ring on his ring finger and never took it off. That piece of skin was whiter than other places, and there was a circle of imprints.

"Gu Yan, it's been three years, you should come back..."

Then Gu Dong covered his eyes with his hands again, the liquid under his palms was warm and clear, he felt that he was worthless and stupid, he had sunk too deep, he only knew he would never turn back, and he didn't leave any way out for himself.

In the year when Gu Yangang left, he often suffered from insomnia. Most of the time he was half-dream and half-awake, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. In the second year, he became calm and devoted all his time to Xia Zhiyuan, becoming very busy.

This year is the third year. At the beginning of the year, he heard that Lu Shi would return to China, and that there would be a grand event in the Lu family. There were many rumors from the outside world, most of which were related to the mysterious successor of the Lu family, and some said that it was related to Lu Shi's personal life. problem related.

Afterwards, he had continuous nightmares. In the dream, Gu Yan came back, dressed in military uniform, with cold facial features. When he looked at him, there was no burning heat in those deep and narrow eyes, but was replaced by dreadful coldness and alienation. .

Gu Dong touched the ring, and the corners of his lips raised an arc of unknown meaning. You provoked me first, if you dare to give up on me, I will not let you go.

Sleeping until dark, Gu Dong rubbed his hair and sat up, patted the fur balls off his legs, one person and one cat yawned lazily, and walked slowly to the kitchen.

Usually when Gu Cheng is busy, he often works overtime. Gu Dong is the only one at home. From being in a mess to cooking and cooking, it took him more than half a year, but the taste is mediocre.

After kicking the fat cat who was walking back and forth with him, Gu Dong threatened, "Get out, don't hang around my feet, you forgot about the last time your tail was stepped on?"

"Meow~" Fuqiu licked his paws, tilted his head and hugged Gu Dong's trouser legs, twisted and climbed up, he didn't know if he understood, anyway, he was blasted out by Gu Dong in the end.

After taking out the meat and washing it, Gu Dong put on his apron and rolled up his sleeves and started to kill the fish, whispering the steps of watching it online, but the kitchen knife still missed and cut his finger.

He calmly cleaned his bleeding fingers, sucked them in his mouth for a while, then put on a band-aid and continued to clean the gills and scales of the fish. His movements became more proficient.

No one can't live without it, it's just that you're not used to it, so you have to take your time.

In the evening, when Gu Cheng came back from get off work, wrapped in a gust of cold wind, he hung his briefcase on the wall, rubbed his frozen face and nose, "Dongdong, is the chicken soup in the refrigerator hot?"

"It's hot." Gu Dong came over and put away the strawberries in Gu Cheng's hand. He knew that the other party was saving money, so he would only buy this unseasonable fruit when he came back.

A father and son who are not related by blood are sitting at the table to eat, and a gray cat at the corner of the table scratches his rice bowl from time to time, reminding its two owners that the food is gone, and there is more.

Under the warm yellow light, the atmosphere is warm and peaceful.

"Dongdong, your mother called me." Gu Cheng scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over, with his own emotions hidden in his gentle voice, "She said that your father hopes that you can go back for the New Year."

Gu Dong took a mouthful of rice, and said in a calm tone, "Let's talk about it."

In the past few years, Zhang Wenqing has changed, her posture has been lowered, and she is no longer that superior and graceful, but in Gu Dong's heart she is still that selfish woman, who is influenced by the glory and wealth. As for Zhong Bowen, she is even more alienated. The formulaic touch never changed, nothing but cold.

After all, some things have been deeply rooted, and it is too difficult to overthrow them.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything more. The one who is with him now is not his own son, but someone else's. He can understand that feeling by comparing his heart with his heart.

After eating the food in his mouth, Gu Cheng stretched out his hand to touch his eyes. He didn't know how he cultivated the blessing to have such a son.

Crouching down and scratching the cat's chin with his fingers, Gu Dong stroked the cat's bulging belly, and he decisively took the rice bowl away from the cat's paws.

In the evening, the father and son got together to soak their feet, and the news broadcast was broadcasting on TV.

Gu Dong dragged away the fat cat lying on the mouth of the basin playing in the water, "Dad, my high school classmate is getting married tomorrow."

Looking at the broadcast news with narrowed eyes covered with fine lines, Gu Cheng asked, "Which one is it?"

Gu Dong bent over and held one of Gu Cheng's feet and pressed the acupuncture point on the sole of the foot, "He Jing, you've seen it before."

"Oh, the girl who sells clothes, have you prepared the gift money?" Gu Cheng regretted that the girl was very hardworking and optimistic, and she didn't care much. He was still looking forward to being with Dongdong.

Gu Dong could tell what the other person was thinking at a glance, it was too obvious, everything was on his face, "Well, I'm ready."

I don't know what's going on, and while chatting, Gu Cheng suddenly said something, "Yanyan doesn't know if you're doing well?"

After speaking, Gu Cheng turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw the expression change on the faces of the people beside him. He pursed his lips, regretting that he always had a short memory.

It has been three years since Yanyan returned to Lu's house. He watched this man depressed, and his already thin face became thinner. He never thought that the relationship between the two brothers would be so good that they couldn't be separated. To such an extent that he was terrified for no reason.

He secretly went to Lu Shi's theory, but the other party only said that Yanyan was safe and gave him the relics of Yanyan's mother, and did not reveal anything else.

"Furball, let's go, go to sleep." Gu Dong wiped off the water from his feet, put on his slippers and got up, "Dad, good night."

Gu Cheng sat in the living room alone, until the water in the basin was cold, he shivered before recovering, sighed, and hoped that all the bad things would pass, everything would be fine, and the family would be reunited.

Early the next morning, Xia Zhiyuan came to pick up Gu Dong. The wedding was held at the Eternal Hotel in the city. There were so many high school classmates who had already reached the point where they had to ask their names to barely remember.

But Gu Dong couldn't remember his name even after asking, he didn't have much fun with his classmates in high school.

The other protagonist of the wedding was the counselor of the law department. Apart from Xia Zhiyuan and Chu Jiran, there were seven or eight other people. Gong Yu also came, followed by the man with the square face and an unshaven artist.

Gu Dong sat on the seat, watching the playful and cute girl with short hair grow mature and generous, walking into the palace of marriage holding his lover's hand.

Sometimes time is not just a butcher's knife, it is also a bottle of fine wine, which becomes more mellow with the passage of time.

Someone made a joke, but others also booed, and kept feeling, "Gu Dong, I thought you would be together at that time."

Gu Dong smiled, ate a chopstick of mutton, and ate the shrimp that someone caught.

In the lively atmosphere, a voice sounded, "Gu Dong, where's Gu Yan?"

Zhang Yiyang scratched his scalp, Chu Jiran stopped eating crabs, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and glared at the woman.

Gong Yu and Xia Zhiyuan also changed their faces, and they secretly looked at the opposite person who couldn't see any emotion on his face, the calmer the worse.

The woman who inadvertently asked was stared at by several eyes, and they were all complaining, so she couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Could it be that she said something taboo?

Gu Dong took a sip of his wine, but Xia Zhiyuan was too quick to stop him in time.

When He Jing and Li Yuan came to toast, Gu Dong was a little drunk, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Happy newlyweds."

After drinking with her head up, He Jing also smiled happily, "Thank you." Those fantasies and longings have long since vanished, but in her youth, this person occupied most of it, a precious memory.

Gong Yu put his arms around Li Yuan's shoulders and drank two glasses of white wine. He said, buddy, congratulations on getting rid of the ranks of bachelors and joining the ranks of married people, live a good life.

While talking, Gong Yu couldn't do it anymore, his nasal cavity was very blocked, but he still kept his image in mind and didn't cry, but the other two buddies let go, pulling Li Yuan to fight for wine with red eyes, and finally his voice was choked up. look.

The scene has warmth, blessings, and sincerity.

Gu Dong, who was drunk after just one drink, actually drank several glasses this time, hugging his head with Chu Jiran, who was also drunk, laughing and making trouble.

Zhang Yiyang stepped forward to pull Chu Jiran up, and walked outside with hugs and drags.

Gong Yu and Xia Zhiyuan carried Gu Dong away alone.

The air at night was cold, the breath was white-edged, and the wind blowing on the face was chilly. Three men were walking on the street, one was drunk and didn't want to wake up, and the other two were sober and wanted to escape.

Taking a puff of cigarette, Gong Yu said, "People who are broken in love are empty and lonely. At this time, the defense is the lowest and it is easy to attack."

Xia Zhiyuan helped the drunk man sit on the stone steps, "I thought you would make a move."

"Forget it, it's not that I haven't confessed my love, he's full of Gu Yan in his heart." Gong Yu puffed out smoke rings, "It's not my bowl of rice, I can't ask for it. Speaking of which, I watched Yuanzi's wedding today, and suddenly felt that getting married was like It's not that troublesome, in two years I might as well marry a woman and put it at home, I'll have hot food to eat when I get home from work, and it should feel good to have someone waiting... Gu Dong, why are you squatting down?"

"Gu Xiaodong, do you want to vomit?" Xia Zhiyuan patted his back, "If you want to vomit, just vomit."

The next moment Xia Zhiyuan's hand stopped in the air, the cigarette held between Gong Yu's fingers fell to the ground, and the two of them looked over in horror.

The man who had always been strong and indifferent squatted on the side of the road and cried.
