disappearing light years

Yan Shuo and Gu Ming'an's first encounter would be a good beginning for any romantic drama.

After graduating from university, Yan Shuo applied for a full scholarship to a medical school in San Francisco, USA, and planned to travel across the ocean to study for a master's degree.On the day of departure, a whole company of relatives who saw him off at the airport came, and the momentum was quite spectacular. In contrast, the other student who passed the security check in front of him was much poorer, and there was not even a single person to see him off. .

It was the beginning of school season at that time. For students who were about to go abroad, it was very strange that no one came to see them off at home, so Yan Shuo's curiosity was somewhat aroused, but at that time he just watched more The man has two eyes.But when he got on the plane and found his seat, Yan Shuo was surprised to find that the student was sitting next to him holding a book.

Yan Shuo once said to Chi Mu that if the staff who changed the boarding pass at that time hadn't arranged his and Gu Ming'an's seats together, then they might not have any intersection in this life.

During the ten-hour journey, they started chatting, and it was only then that Yan Shuo realized that the person next to him was named Gu Mingan, who went to the United States to study computer science as a graduate student, but the school was not in San Francisco, and he had to transfer planes after arriving in the United States.

Later they got off the plane in San Francisco, and Gu Mingan wanted to transfer to another airline to go to New Mexico. Yan Shuo sent him to the counter, but something went wrong during the transfer. The blond woman standing behind the counter said that Gu Mingan had to take a The flight he was on had been cancelled, and the next flight to New Mexico would be the next morning, and then he stopped talking to them, neither trying to get Gu Mingan to transfer to another flight, nor arranging a hotel for him.

Gu Mingan's English was obviously not good enough, he stumbled and said a few words for a long time, but the counter didn't look up, Yan Shuo couldn't see it, and interjected: "Is this how you provide services?".Then Yan Shuo quarreled with the blond woman, and several Chinese people waiting next to the plane also criticized the airline boy for his obvious bullying. Finally, their supervisor came forward and ordered the counter to apologize. Gu Mingan arranged the nearest flight with another company.

Later, when Gu Mingan flew to New Mexico, Yan Shuo went to school to register. He thought that the incident at the airport would be over, but in the spring of the next day, Gu Mingan suddenly submitted a transfer application to Yan Shuo's school, and within a month After that, he successfully transferred to the Department of Economics to study, and the dormitory was only across the street from Yan Shuo.

Then, at Christmas of that year, Gu Mingan foolishly hugged a handful of white roses, and stood downstairs in Yan Shuo's dormitory in full view to confess his love to him.

Yan Shuo mentioned more than once that Gu Ming'an at that time was not romantic at all. He knew that he should give roses when he confessed his love, and felt that red roses were not good for giving to women, so he bought white roses for him. Red roses for women and white roses for funerals are even more unlucky.

But it was that bouquet of unlucky flowers, coupled with Gu Mingan's stiff and stiff smile, really made Yan Shuo nod with swollen eye sockets.Perhaps as He Xiaoli said, sometimes the least romantic thing is often the most romantic.

The two have been back to China for so many years, bumped into disasters along the way, were criticized by others in the company, came out with their family and turned against each other, but they were determined not to let go of each other's hands. When he was about to enjoy the happy life of the prince and the knight, a child suddenly appeared out of nowhere and called out to Gu Mingan, "Daddy".

The sound of "father" made Chi Mu feel like throwing stools at Gu Ming'an's head.

Gu Mingan brought Chi Mu and Jiang Yuchen to his home in Hangzhou. He was originally from Hangzhou, a single-parent family. After entering the door, Gu Mingan's mother saw that the faces of the three people were not right, and carried the little boy into the back room very wittily, and closed the door.Gu Mingan poured tea and said to Chi Mu: "Ask whatever you want."

Chi Mu got straight to the point: "Is that really your son?"

"Yes."

"biological?"

"Yes."

"You've been hiding it from Yan Shuo?"

"……Yes."

Chi Mu took a deep breath, raised her hand to stroke her forehead, "When did this happen?"

Gu Ming settled down and said, "Four years ago."

Four years ago, it was when Gu Mingan and Yan Shuo had just returned to China.

Taking care of what Ming An said, the little boy was his own, but it was due to a drunken sex after a class reunion. The other party was a girl who had confessed to him in college.Gu Mingan was drunk that night, and he didn't remember what happened at all. He only knew that when he woke up the next morning, he was lying naked on the hotel bed with that female classmate.

He has never dared to tell Yan Shuo about this matter. Although the female classmate told him that it was just an ordinary one-night stand, and she also went abroad a month later, but this kind of thing happened, anyway, it betrayed the relationship between him and Yan Shuo. If Yan Shuo found out about the relationship between them, it would be over for the two of them.

So he could only keep it a secret. Later, as time went by, he gradually put this matter behind him. As a result, within a year, the female classmate suddenly came back with an infant baby and found Gu Mingan, saying This is his son, and she has been reluctant to kill him abroad, but now that the child is born, she is already engaged to a Canadian, so she absolutely cannot take it with her, and can only be entrusted to Gu Mingan to raise him.

Gu Ming'an didn't believe it at first, but when the DNA test came out, he had to believe it too.

The woman left, but the child stayed behind. Gu Mingan couldn't take the child with him, so he quietly went back to Lying Hangzhou and entrusted the child to his mother to raise him for three years.

"A few days ago, my mother called and said that the child was always crying to find his father. I had no choice but to lie to Yan Shuo to go on a business trip so that I could find time to come back and have a look. The child is getting bigger and bigger, and things that he didn't understand before will gradually understand. He I will start looking for my mother again, I have already sorry Yan Shuo once, if he knows the existence of this child, it will only hurt him even more..." After Gu Mingan finished speaking, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse like a caged animal.At this time, the door of the inner room suddenly opened with a creak, and the little boy ran out and threw himself on his knees, and said with big eyes, "Dad, don't cry, it's because I'm not good. .”

Gu Ming'an forcefully hugged the child into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Chi Mu couldn't bear to turn his head away, he should be angry, Gu Mingan betrayed Yan Shuo and did such a thing, he should have enough reasons to be angry, but now he just feels like a stone is pressed on his chest, it's terribly heavy.

"What's the child's name?" After taking several deep breaths, Chi Mu regained her usual tone.

Gu Mingan didn't answer, but the little boy turned his head and said to Chi Mu, "Uncle, my name is Gu Xiyan."

Chi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and said to Gu Ming'an, "You chose this name?"

Gu Mingan nodded.

"Jiang Yuchen." Chi Mu was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.

Jiang Yuchen, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching the play, didn't expect that Chi Mu would call him, so he responded with a little surprise.

Chi Mu's expression was very serious, "I ask you not to tell anyone what happened today, especially after returning to Beijing, don't tell anyone."

Jiang Yuchen smiled and said, "Are you making demands on me?"

"It's a request, it's a favor I owe you." After saying this, Chi Mu said to Gu Mingan again: "Gu Mingan, if you don't want to break up with Yan Shuo, then you will never let Yan Shuo do anything about this child. Know."

"But……"

Chi Mu interrupted him, "No, but, Gu Ming'an, I chose to help you this time, not because I agree with what you have done, but to protect my friend and this child. The child is innocent, and you can't do it because of adults. The dispute between them cast a shadow over his childhood. As for Yan Shuo, you'd better quickly think of a solution that bests both worlds."

Gu Mingan nodded silently.

In fact, there is another reason. Chi Mu kept it in his heart and didn't say it. He felt that he should believe in Gu Mingan's feelings for Yan Shuo. Although he usually doesn't talk much, let alone sweet words, his actual actions are often better than those who are only exaggerated. A lot more impressive and a lot more dignified than a guy with a lip service.

Chi Mu felt that since he was helping to hide it, Jiang Yuchen wouldn't just talk about it. There would be no problem with keeping this matter under wraps for a while, but what he didn't expect was that only three days after returning to Beijing, he received a call from He Xiaoli. Telephone.

"Yan Shuo and Gu Mingan broke up."

At that time, he was discussing with Mo Lian in the meeting room about a brooch to match with a dark black shirt. After receiving the call, he didn't even have time to ask for leave, so he just said hello to Mo Lian and took a taxi straight to Yan Shuo's home.Yan Shuo and Gu Mingan live in the business district in the east of the city. The house is a small loft that they jointly paid for. It was Gu Mingan who opened the door for him. The shirt on the man's body was a little messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was stubble on his chin. .

This was the first time that Chi Mu saw Gu Ming'an's unkempt appearance.

"Did you tell him?" Chi Mu had just entered the door, and immediately said that.Gu Mingan struggled and nodded, his voice was as deep as cracked ice, "I can't lie to him anymore..."

Chi Mu waved his hand, walked up the stairs to the upstairs bedroom, the door was ajar, he pushed it open, and saw Yan Shuo sitting cross-legged on the bed at a glance.Compared with Gu Mingan's dying state, Yan Shuo was obviously much more refreshed, and his expression was very calm. If it wasn't for He Xiaoli who walked around holding hands and yelling at Gu Mingan as a wolf, and the room was full of alcohol and twisted With the empty wine bottles upside down, Chi Mu would never have thought that the two owners of this room were breaking up.

"The three of us really seem to be cursed." Seeing Chi Mu coming in, Yan Shuo smiled miserably at him, "When you and Cheng Hao separated, I thought that Gu Mingan and I might not be able to escape, but I didn't expect that It was fulfilled so quickly, even Cheng Hao, just get married, and you can get away cleanly, Gu Mingan is so amazing, even the child is so old."

Chi Mu sat by the bed and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, as you said, a person in his decades, can cry, make trouble and hang himself after falling in love? I see it very openly, if we break up, we break up." Yan Shuo gulped down the wine in his hand, Staring at Chi Mu for a while, his eyes suddenly turned red, "How could he keep it from me for years... He really feels at ease?"

"Not only did Yan Shuo go blind this time, but I also went blind!" He Xiaoli leaned against the window and cursed loudly, making it clear that he wanted to be heard by Gu Mingan downstairs, "That bastard is in such a good mood! , here to talk about love, and over there to raise a child for old age, maybe one day the child's mother comes back, and he can pull you Yan Shuo to play with them, fuck, what a fucking debt!"

"You really decided to break up with him?" Chi Mu held Yan Shuo's shoulder so that he could lean on him.Yan Shuo thought for a while, and said: "There is no other way, his child is getting older every year, and he always has to be brought with him. I haven't thought about how to face their father and son in the future, and what if The child's mother is here, and looking at their family, I feel embarrassed anyway, so it's better to divide it up now."

He Xiaoli echoed from behind: "That's right, if we break up, we break up. We three golden bachelors just form a gang of three, and let those ungrateful scum eat all the shit."

"Thank you for having you with me." Yan Shuo raised his eyes gratefully.

Ten minutes later, Chi Mu and He Xiaoli went downstairs. Gu Mingan had already carried the box and stood in the living room. He Xiaoli gave him a cold look, and walked to the side with arms folded. Gu Mingan hesitated for a while, and said to Chi Mu: "Some things... I want to Please take me to explain to Yan Shuo."

Chi Mu shrugged, "Go ahead."

Gu Mingan picked up a file bag on the coffee table, took out a stack of documents and said, "These are all the stocks, funds and bonds I hold, as well as the real estate certificate of the house, all of which have been transferred. Yes, and this." He handed out another list full of words, "Yan Shuo's stomach is not very good, please advise him not to drink too much alcohol in the future. I don’t know if the folk prescription for stomach cold that I found will work, so I’ll give it to him for me, and it’s always good to have a try.”

"Please tell him that I hang all the keys at the entrance, because he always took the wrong ones before, so I changed the color of the hooks this time. The red hooks are the door keys, and the blue hooks are the car keys. Nearby shop His address and takeaway number are under the phone, so that no matter how busy he is at work, he must not forget to eat on time. The dry cleaner is at the second intersection on the right when you go downstairs, and remember to pick up your clothes before six o'clock. I sorted out all kinds of bills and put them in the first drawer of the desk, the medicine cabinet in the second, and the coffee in the kitchen wall cabinet with sugar cubes next to it. Add half a cup of milk and two cubes of sugar to make it out. Don’t make any mistakes when you make it yourself in the future. And the toast he often eats in the morning is not bought near here. The store is far away. Where is the address? It’s also written, if you want to eat, you must buy it the afternoon before, and you can bake it the next morning..."

He Xiaoli, who was standing on one side, looked at Gu Ming'an with a changed look, from initial contempt to disbelief, Gu Ming'an was still explaining in a serious manner, not even noticing that Yan Shuo came down from the stairs.

"Gu Ming'an!" Yan Shuo roared suddenly, "Why don't you get out! You think I can't live without you, don't you!"

Gu Ming'an's voice stopped instantly, with a painful expression on his face, he silently picked up the box, walked slowly to the door, opened the door, paused, and then went out, said "goodbye", and then gently closed the door behind his back.

Chinese words are always easy to understand from the literal meaning, just like this "goodbye", which was originally a very common farewell, but at the moment of breaking up, it can reflect many layers of meaning, even Yan Shuo can't tell the difference. Did Gu Mingan say goodbye to him, and if so, did he want to say "see you again" or "see you next time" to himself?

His legs were weak and he sat down on the stairs.

Chi Mu stared blankly at the pile of things in front of him, and found that Gu Ming'an could really be regarded as a clean man, typically waving his hand without taking away a cloud, except for one thing.

He looked back at Yan Shuo's distraught face on the stairs, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

Except for Yan Shuo's half heart.
