in the forest.

Meng Eryi smiled apologetically on his pale cheeks.

"Trouble you, I don't want others to know about such things."

Both Meng Eryi and Gu Lian are not from this city. Although their home is not far away, their families have work and life, so it is not convenient to come to take care of them.

"No, I'm very glad you can think of me." Gu Lian said without hesitation, and then he looked slightly embarrassed, and hesitated: "I'm not talking about you, your illness, I'm happy, I just..."

A tinge of regret flashed across Meng Eryi's heart, covering his flat and empty belly, the internal organs felt a burst of pain.

Still braced himself and said, "It's okay, I know."

Gu Lian's masseter muscles were tense, and a person who would never shed a tear in life, could not help but have reddened eyes at this moment, but she blinked back the tears for fear of making her feel sad.

The frosty wind dyed the maple forest brightly. After all, it was early winter, and the warm sun could not dispel the dampness and cold in the forest.

Gu Lian took off his coat with one hand, and wanted to put it on the person beside him, but hesitantly hung in the air, not daring to let his body temperature stain her.

Meng Eryi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, leaned down slightly, his eyes were like the soft and clear lake water, staring at her brightly, motioning for her to put it on his shoulders.

This simple action tugged at Gu Lian's heartstrings, almost breaking her throat with a plop.It wasn't until Meng Eryi had her clothes wrapped around her shoulders that she realized that her ears were burning hot.

Not long after the two walked, Meng Eryi was a little tired. Before she could say anything, Gu Lian had already noticed this, and helped her to go out again.

As soon as I lowered my eyes, I saw her thin and slender fingers, without a trace of flesh, with abrupt joints, like hanging branches that lost their lives.Like a dying candle in the wind.

Gu Lian closed her eyes heavily and bit her lips tightly.

On the outside, Meng Eryi looks refined and elegant, but in his heart he is family-oriented and traditional, and he believes that only one person can be guarded with all his heart.

If it wasn't for the request of Cao Yi's family, she should have studied in the major she loves like Gu Lian, instead of becoming a teacher and being the most suitable good woman in the eyes of that tricky and vulgar couple.

That's all, at least Meng Eryi is willing.Gu Lian also believed that Cao Yi would treat her well and give her the warm family she wanted.

But Cao Yi dealt with Meng Eryi in a perfunctory manner, and at the same time spent his days and nights outside, seduced his boss for the sake of his future, and even brought him home, which made Meng Eryi miscarriage in anger.

What Gu Lian hated the most was that Meng Eryi had no intention of having a child prematurely. For the sake of their family, he also wanted to make achievements in the field of teachers as soon as possible.However, Cao Yi was afraid that Meng Eryi would not be able to control her forcefully, so in order to hold Meng Eryi firmly, under the instigation of her parents, she designed to make Meng Eryi pregnant and delay her future.

Meng Eryi was tolerant and tolerant again and again, but Cao Yi relied on her affection and good temper to make progress.

"I'll invite a nurse tomorrow, and I've troubled you for the past few days." Meng Eryi's soft and warm voice rang in Gu Lian's ears.

Gu Lian's teardrops were already rolling in his eyes, and when he was startled, his long eyelashes were wet.

Meng Eryi was afraid that she would get deeper and deeper and could not extricate herself, so she alienated her silently again and drove her away tactfully.

Gu Lian was silent, and said softly, "Then I'll come and see you tonight, okay?"

Meng Eryi was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't know how to refuse for a while, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

The two of them knew each other well that Meng Eryi had no interest in Gu Lian, and no matter what, it would be difficult to develop affection.

Meng Eryi's heart was broken, and he planned to divorce Cao Yi, so he had to make a clear distinction.But Cao Yi disagreed, and maybe he would make trouble.At that time, Meng Eryi could not hold on alone.

Gu Lian was also afraid that she would soften her heart, and that she and Cao Yi would resurface, and they would suffer again in the future.Gu Lian is very aware of Cao Yi's inferiority.

Before they knew it, the two were approaching the exit.

At the end of the red-brown forest, a vast expanse of clear sky quietly waited for the two of them.

Meng Eryi hadn't recovered yet, so he had to sit on a bench by the forest to rest.

Gu Lian quickly took out a paper towel to wipe, and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she spread a thin blanket on the chair and helped her sit down.

Meng Eryi silently watched her actions, her eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Gu Lian said again: "By the way, I know a classmate who majored in law. She can help me contact a lawyer. Then I—"

"Gu Lian."

Meng Eryi's soft voice was slightly tired, but Gu Lian's voice stopped abruptly.

Her heart was pounding and she responded, knowing what the other party would say next, but she still listened quietly.

"I can't love you." Meng Eryi said: "I was wrong before, I shouldn't have looked for you, I'm sorry."

Gu Lian was originally standing beside her, and before she could sit down, she heard this, and slowly squatted down, kneeling at her feet, she didn't know if she was unable to maintain it, or she was willing to put her posture at the lowest level, lowering herself into the dust.

"I know, I don't need you to love me." She stretched her neck hard, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, but she found that Meng Eryi was drawn to tears by her, and then lowered her head, trying to raise her voice , speaking smoothly.

"You didn't hurt me, I'm really satisfied now."

She just wants to escort Meng Eryi to the real happiness, no matter where the destination is, she will leave without hesitation.

"Please."

Suddenly, a gentle wind blew and sent a maple leaf to Meng Eryi's lap.

The shape of the maple leaf is beautiful, and there is a small hole at the bottom of the vein, which was eaten by insects. Fortunately, the maple leaf fell early and did not hang on the branch and wither.

Gu Lian gathered the thin blanket for her, held the leaf handle, and sent it to Meng Eryi.

"Do you want it?"

Meng Eryi was silent for a while, covered Gu Lian's with cold fingertips, and pinched the maple leaf with her.

"Ah."

Looking up, I found a person standing under a maple tree behind the exit.

It's An Yuanqing.

An Yuanqing watched Gu Lian's back without saying a word, and did not notice Meng Eryi's gaze.

But Gu Lian's gaze was always on Meng Eryi.

The eyes of the three intertwined and bonded to form a net, but it was a single arrow.

Meng Eryi vaguely recalled some rumors, his good-looking eyebrows closed, and for a while, as if thinking of something, his thin lips parted, and he went to look at An Yuanqing again.

The man turned around and left, disappearing into the endless blue sky.

Cao Yi didn't come to the company for nearly a week, and when he came again, he went back to his HR office, and HR resigned for him.

As a friend, An Yuanqing naturally wanted to see him off, but the two had always maintained a superficial relationship, so she was not at all sad in her heart, but instead regarded Cao Yi as the culprit in a series of serial incidents.

The wedding ring on Cao Yi's hand was gone, there was a bruise on the side of his cheek, and the swelling had not disappeared completely, and a cast was put on one hand.

When asked about him, he always said that he fell, and when asked why he left the job, he said that it was convenient for him to go back to his hometown to work and take care of his parents.

However, within two days, An Yuanqing heard from his colleagues that the boss Cao Yi hooked up with earlier was actually the daughter of a high-level executive in the head office, who had been parachuted here.

He actually really liked Cao Yi, so he went to someone's house to make a big fuss, and the woman lost her child, so she divorced him.

The high-level daughter then retreated to the branch office in other provinces completely. After a moment of dizziness, she calmed down and treated Cao Yi as a broken shoe and discarded it like a shoe.

The wound was probably done by the woman's family members.

However, An Yuanqing knew that Gu Lian must have done it. He went to the gym and boxed all day long, and he was just waiting for this day.

That was the last time An Yuanqing saw Cao Yi.

She never contacted Gu Lian again, but Wen Ya chatted with Gu Lian a few times later, and even added WeChat.

Before a year was up, the curly-haired man collected all the money and returned it to Gu Lian.Gu Lian entrusted Wen Ya with the money, just like the money for the wine on the day the two first met.

Everything seems to be back to the original point, but it is not like the original place, but a spiral upward that makes people feel unbearable and want to give up.

But An Yuanqing has been waiting.

It was early January when Wen Ya transferred the money to her.

By the way, I told An Yuanqing the story I heard from Gu Lian.

Both Gu Lian and Meng Eryi are from Linshi, and they are in the same class in the same middle school and high school.

At that time, Gu Lian's parents were always divorcing, and her mother took her to marry several men successively. She was always restless, and finally settled down with a wealthy businessman.

However, the relationship between Gu Lian and his family members is still very stiff. Family affection is said to be engraved in the blood, but it is actually an ordinary interpersonal relationship.

Gu Lian's love for Meng Eryi is her only emotional sustenance.

During the darkest period of Gu Lian's life, there was always Meng Eryi, whose innocence, gentleness and elegance were deeply imprinted in Gu Lian's heart.

Although it's a bit clichéd, Meng Eryi is Gu Lian's light.

In fact, Meng Eryi didn't do anything special, but Gu Lian just liked her, and guarded her not too close or far away.

Meng Eryi once brought Gu Lian out, now it's Gu Lian's turn to bring Meng Eryi out.

Gu Lian accompanied Meng Er to divorce by agreement, deal with the house, transfer to a new school, and move into a new home.

So far in the story, Wen Ya won't know about it any further, and Gu Lian won't tell her either.

The house is not far from the school, and Gu Lian often goes there when he is free, day or night.

Meng Eryi has no new encounters, nor does he follow his parents' advice to go on a blind date, and has always maintained a secret and unclear relationship with Gu Lian. However, from the beginning to the end, no one has crossed that line, they are just soulmates.

Gu Lian's company filled the vacancy in her heart and enabled her to start a new life without being on the verge of collapse.

Before I knew it, it was the end of August and another year had passed.

Gu Lian's birthday has always been the day she hates the most, but on this day, Meng Eryi kept it from her and prepared red wine, roses, and candlelight dinner for her.

The deep and strong ink that symbolized the past was diluted by candlelight, and the mellow aroma of red wine lingered between the two.

Afterwards the candle was burnt out, but a small lamp was lit in the room, the shadow of the lamp flickered, and then quietly extinguished.

After the love affair, Meng Eryi told Gu Lian that she quit her job and will concentrate on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in the next few months. If all goes well, she will become a graduate student of H University in September next year.

Gu Lian is a direct blogger, so she doesn't know about the postgraduate entrance examination, so she helps her classmates to find out about Meng Eryi's voluntary major.
