Gu Zhilin spent the whole night thinking about what happened during the day, his dream was full of strange things, and when he woke up the next day, he was in a bad mood.

He was listless all day long. His parents saw him, but they didn't say anything.

At night, Gu Zhilin still found it difficult to fall asleep.

He was thinking about making a wish and his own affairs when there was a knock on the window.

Gu Zhilin was taken aback, he was on the second floor, how could someone knock on the window at this point in time.

He got out of bed, and just opened the window, wanting to see who it was, Huo Chengfeng rolled in.

Gu Zhilin exclaimed in surprise, covered his mouth in a hurry, looked back at the closed door, then turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Xiaofeng, what are you doing?"

Huo Chengfeng took his hand and pulled him towards the bed. His hand was cold, which made Gu Zhilin tremble.

When both of them were sitting on the bed, Huo Chengfeng said, "Brother, I'm leaving."

When Gu Zhilin heard this, he became anxious: "Go? Why are you leaving? Where are you going?"

Huo Chengfeng stroked his hand and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I'll just leave for a while."

After hearing this, Gu Zhilin became even more flustered and said, "Xiaofeng, go and explain it to your parents, and say that they got it wrong and you didn't mean it."

Huo Chengfeng stopped talking. He looked at Gu Zhilin, just like every time he looked at him in the past, with various emotions in his eyes. Finally, he sighed: "Brother, don't you still understand?"

Gu Zhilin was puzzled: "Understood? What should I understand?"

Huo Chengfeng looked at him sadly: "Brother, I love you. It's love, not liking, do you understand?"

He finally stopped suppressing it, and exposed all his love to Gu Zhilin, even if the result would only be disgust, he chose to do so.

Gu Zhilin didn't want to face it, he just thought it was absurd, shook his head and said, "Love? Do you know what love is? You're just a fledgling complex."

Huo Chengfeng: "Brother, do you think I don't know how to love because I'm young? I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. But, you won't believe it."

Gu Zhilin shook off his hand: "You know I don't believe it, why do you still say it! Don't say it anymore!"

After he finished speaking, he stared at Huo Chengfeng panting.

Huo Chengfeng stared at him without saying a word. How could he not know that Gu Zhilin was just running away, but what could he do?Force him to open his eyes, turn his ears to him, and keep telling his love in his ears?

That would only make him more disgusted.

An invisible sadness spread in the air.

Gu Zhilin looked at him, a white light flashed in his mind, he suddenly understood something, and asked, "Xiaofeng, tell me, did you do what Shen Yanying did?"

"It's me." Huo Chengfeng replied frankly, without any expression of shame.

Gu Zhilin was about to rush over to wake him up, and he asked again: "How did you do it?"

Huo Chengfeng replied: "I bought a gangster and asked him to steal Shen Yanying's cell phone, sent you that text message, and then went to lock the door."

Gu Zhilin couldn't believe that at such a young age, he already had such deep thoughts. He was so angry that his hands were shaking: "Why did you do this?"

Huo Chengfeng: "She wants to take my brother away, but I don't allow it."

"Xiaofeng, you..." Gu Zhilin couldn't accept this fact, he just felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he kept panting, trying to calm down.

Huo Chengfeng looked at him quietly.

The door was knocked suddenly, and his father's voice came from outside: "Xiao Zhi, what are you doing?"

They both looked at the door at the same time.

The moment Gu Zhilin turned his head, Huo Chengfeng leaned over suddenly, kissed the corner of Gu Zhilin's lips, and murmured: "Brother, I'm leaving, you have to wait for me."

Then, before Gu Zhilin could react, he ran to the window and jumped down.

When Gu Zhilin ran to the window, there was no one in sight, only the curtains were left fluttering there.

His father came in and hugged him by the shoulders.

Gu Zhilin felt that he was sitting alone in the middle of the boat in a foggy cold pond. He raised his eyes, but he couldn’t see the sky; Going out, what he met was a cold mist, he called out, but disappeared in the mist, he didn't know where to go, and who could he rely on.

He hugged the pillow in his arms tightly, curled up like a seahorse, trying to warm himself up.

When he went to make a wish, the wish was still the same.

Gu Zhilin sat down, was silent for a long time, and then said to Wishing: "Make a wish, Xiaofeng is gone."

Wishing back: "Really? Why?"

Gu Zhilin shook his head. At this moment, he couldn't help it anymore. He lay down beside the wishing bed and cried uncontrollably: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I said it, you wouldn't In the car accident, if it wasn't for me, Xiaofeng wouldn't have left, it's all my fault."

He was crying out of breath, like a child who lost his treasure, crying for the good things he lost.

Wishing to watch, slowly stretched out his hand, passed through his fingers, clasped his five fingers tightly, and said: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

Gu Zhilin shook his head, crying more and more sadly, he thought, obviously the one who made the wish was the one who got hurt, but in the end, he always came to comfort him, how cowardly he was compared to making the wish.

He would never understand why everyone changed overnight.

Gu Zhilin was facing the computer, and beside him was a stack of application materials.

On the top copy, University A located in a neighboring city is prominently circled by a red pen, and a few lines away is University G, which is far away.

Gu Zhilin looked at it for a while, then turned his head around.

His fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and gradually, the word G was displayed in the volunteer column.

The light from the computer screen shone on his face, making it pale.

When the mouse slid to the "Submit" item, Gu Zhilin hesitated.

He knew that after this friendship, everything would be different. His original assumptions and expectations were all gone.

He has never been so confused. Even the bewilderment in the early stage of the college entrance examination is just a necessary process of adolescence.What's more, his parents are still around to support him.

But now, no one can help him, and he doesn't need help.

He just wanted to escape from this place that suppressed him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Gu Zhilin's index finger was hanging in the air, he hesitated for a long time, and finally pressed down tremblingly.

When the "Submission successful" prompt popped up, he lay down on the table, buried his head deeply in his arms, as if he had lifted a heavy load, and his shoulders finally stopped straightening.
