mild compromise

, it will be fine in a few days. "

As he said, he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and it felt a little hot. He thought it might be more than a cold this time. To Xiao Chenghao, Guan Meng couldn't tell the truth. He knew that Xiao Chenghao would worry about himself. Not wanting to affect Xiao Chenghao's work, he decided to go to the hospital to see a doctor when he woke up tomorrow.

After hanging up, Xiao Chenghao sent him a message.

——Is it really just a cold?Your voice sounds serious. Go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine. If you are inconvenient to go out, I will ask someone to deliver it to you.

——No, I’ll just buy it at the pharmacy tomorrow, and I’ll go to bed first

Sitting by the bed in the hotel, Xiao Chenghao stared at the last text message on the phone screen for almost 10 minutes. Every time the screen went dark, he immediately turned it back on again.

He and Guan Meng developed such a relationship, which he never dared to imagine before. The good news is that he and Guan Meng turned out to be in love with each other. But if this is the case, will he feel sorry for his teacher and his wife?

"You child, you always think too much." This is what Guan Lianyi said to Xiao Chenghao the most.

For the matter of studying abroad, Xiao Chenghao didn't ask Guan Lianyi and Guo Ting until the application procedures were completed, the air tickets were booked, and two weeks before departure.

As graduation approached, the students in their class began to discuss their future life plans. Xiao Chenghao wavered between "staying in Beijing for development" and "going back to the city where he lived for employment". This kind of confusion and confusion It lingered in his mind for a long time, until one day, he met the third option at the re-election dinner of the student union.

In addition to all the members who are currently in office, some former members who have graduated also come back to participate in the dinner, including their previous chairman.The senior went to London to continue her studies after graduation. This time, she took advantage of the holiday to go back to China to do some business, so she came to the school to meet her former juniors.

When asked about the feelings of studying abroad, the senior sister said to everyone objectively: "If you have the intention, and you have the relevant ability and qualifications, then don't hesitate to go outside to see more. In this world, if you get to know and contact different people, you will see more things, have a wider experience, and a wider horizon, and your life will naturally rise to a higher level."

What really awakened Xiao Chenghao was the last sentence of that senior sister. He longed to improve his level. Yi and Guo Ting unconditionally sponsored him. He wanted to make himself better and earn more and more money in the future, so as to repay his teacher's family.

Of course, there is another reason for doing this, and that is Guan Meng.Xiao Chenghao felt that instead of staying here and being tortured by a fruitless love, it is better to get away. He thought that as long as the distance was far enough, he could completely sever this love.

Their school provides students with two places to study abroad at public expense every year. However, Xiao Chenghao knew the news too late. As early as two months ago, the application results had been announced.Missing the opportunity to study abroad at public expense, Xiao Chenghao chose to pay at his own expense. Over the past few years in college, he has earned a considerable amount of wealth by speculating in stocks. need.

Xiao Chenghao has never disclosed the matter of stock trading to Guan Lianyi and Guo Ting. Just like this time, he just told them that the study abroad is at public expense. He doesn't want his family to worry too much about him. They are already enough for him. He thought about it.

The news came so suddenly that Guan Lianyi and Guo Ting, who were unprepared, were surprised. After the surprise, the two also expressed their support.

Studying abroad is a gratifying and congratulatory event, but among the family, Guan Meng was the only one who seemed very unhappy. He didn't say a word to Xiao Chenghao, and walked straight into the room with his face split, and slammed the door open. fall.

Xiao Chenghao didn't know what Guan Meng was thinking, but he could tell that Guan Meng was in a bad mood.

After thinking about it, Xiao Chenghao finally decided to take a look at him in the room.

"Mengmeng?" Xiao Chenghao called out to the person lying on the desk.

Guan Meng ignored him.

"I bought your favorite sauced elbow. You haven't eaten it just now, so I brought it here for you." Xiao Chenghao walked to Guan Meng with a few pieces of sauced elbow on a plate.

Guan Meng stood up abruptly, turned around and pushed Xiao Chenghao outside, and said to Xiao Chenghao angrily while pushing him: "Get out of my room, I don't want to see you!"

Xiao Chenghao paused for a moment, he had never seen Guan Meng lose his temper to him so much.

"Mengmeng, what's the matter with you?"

Guan Meng stopped suddenly, he stood where he was, and after a while, he slowly raised his head, staring at Xiao Chenghao with his red eyes, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you want Go abroad? Why didn't you tell me until now?!"

"I..." Xiao Chenghao really didn't know what to say, he couldn't explain it because he was wrong.

"Are we really unimportant to you?"

"No!" Xiao Chenghao immediately denied it, feeling a little anxious in his heart, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and held Guan Meng's wrist. "Mengmeng, why do you think so?"

"If not, why didn't you discuss such an important decision with our family? Instead, you came to notify us as a routine after you have arranged everything yourself." Guan Meng forced him Shaking his hand away, he sat down on the bed resentfully, turned his head to the side, unwilling to look at him.

Xiao Chenghao put the plate in his hand on the desk, and was about to turn around and leave quietly, when Guan Meng suddenly asked in a low voice: "Will you come back?"

The voice was very soft, but it fell into Xiao Chenghao's ears but became a thunderbolt, hitting his heart hard.

Xiao Chenghao walked up to him, squatted down, and looked at him from the angle of looking up.

"Of course I will come back. This is my home, and you are my most important family." When he said the last word, Xiao Chenghao changed his tone slightly.

"In the future too?"

Xiao Chenghao nodded, his hand reached out to Guan Meng's face, and gently stroked, "It will always be."

On the day of departure, Guan Lianyi took Guo Ting and Guan Meng to the airport to see Xiao Chenghao off.

"Remember to look for me after you go to America." Guan Meng reminded him repeatedly for the nth time.

"Well, let's contact QQ."

"And send me a postcard."

Xiao Chenghao nodded with a smile, "Definitely."

Guo Ting took a step forward, pulled Xiao Chenghao to her side, and gently patted his clothes, "Ah Hao, the United States is too far away, we can't go to see you often, you live alone there For those who are not familiar, you must take care of yourself, you can call back any time if you have anything to do, your teacher’s and mine’s mobile phones are turned on 24 hours a day.”

Xiao Chenghao forcibly suppressed the liquid that was about to gush out of his eyes, "I will, and you all take care of yourself."

The three of them sent Xiao Chenghao to the security checkpoint all the way. After arriving here, the relatives seeing him off could not go any further. Guan Meng stood where he was, with a farewell smile on his face, with the deepest reluctance in his heart, and The person at the other end of the security checkpoint waved goodbye, watching the figure gradually shrinking and receding until it disappeared. At that moment, there was a feeling of emptiness in his chest, as if something was lost.

One month after Xiao Chenghao went to the United States, Guan Meng received a postcard from him in California,

That night, Guan Meng was in a good mood. He sat on the bed and flipped through a blue photo album in his hand many times. The photos in it were the memories he and Xiao Chenghao had left together over the past few years. One of the many photos was selected, which was secretly taken by Xiao Chenghao when he was playing basketball last summer.

He took out a sketchbook from the drawer, opened it to a blank page, picked up a pencil, followed the photo of the person, and sketched the chic pitching figure on the book.

While drawing, his eyelids began to fight, he rubbed his eyes in sleepiness, and fell asleep holding the sketchbook.

In the dimness, Guan Meng heard a fierce noise coming from outside, he turned on the lamp again, and glanced at the alarm clock next to him, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.

Guan Meng, who was half awake and half asleep, put on his slippers, opened the door and went out to check the situation. The living room was brightly lit. At this time, Guo Ting was lying in a pool of blood. She was motionless, with stab wounds all over her face and body. At one point, Guan Meng mistakenly believed that he was in a dream, and his mind went blank. After a few seconds, he realized that he was not dreaming. He rushed to Guo Ting, hugged her, shook her vigorously, and shouted her name loudly. , trying to wake her up.

"Mengmeng! Don't come out! Go back to the room and lock the door!" Guan Lianyi shouted.

It's a pity that it was too late, Guan Meng hadn't realized what was going on, and there was a sharp pain in his back. When he turned around, a strange man was standing behind him, holding a A kitchen knife dripping with blood.

Guan Lian Yifei rushed over and threw Guan Meng to the ground before the man slashed at Guan Meng for the second time. Guan Meng stumbled up from the ground and fled back to the room. The door was locked, and the door was blocked with a cabinet and a chair.

The knife just now cut a shocking big gash in his back, a large amount of blood seeped out from the wound, soaking the pajamas on his back into blood red, he hid under the table, shrank into a ball in fear , Gradually, he felt chills all over his body, and the scene in front of him slowly
