"'Excuse me'? What are you apologizing to me for?"

Guan Ruoyu let go of the man's collar, leaned back on the back of the co-pilot's seat, and chuckled lightly: "What can you do to me?"

Zhuang Mingqi looked at him: "A lot of things in the past..."

"for example?"

"For example..." Zhuang Mingqi didn't evade, and directly said the most core question, "I went abroad to study in university, but I didn't tell you in advance."

This is the biggest conflict between the two of them ever—perhaps so far—and it is also a thorn in Zhuang Mingqi's heart.Of course, this thorn not only hurt Zhuang Mingqi himself, but also the one who hurt Guan Ruoyu more seriously.

"...Oh, this matter." Guan Ruoyu's expression did not show any emotional fluctuations. He cast his eyes on the neighborhood outside the front window and said lightly, "Didn't you apologize back then? Speaking of which, you should I still owe you a 'sorry', after all, I punched you the day before you got on the plane, right? I heard that your face was still swollen when you got on the plane."

"Indeed." Zhuang Mingqi now thinks about the events of the year, and feels a little funny in his mood, "Because of the scars on my face, I was almost refused entry."

Guan Ruoyu sneered, "Oh, what a pity."

Zhuang Mingqi didn't mind his cheap talk at this time, or rather, no matter how Guan Ruoyu lost his temper at this time, Zhuang Mingqi would completely accept it.

After all, what happened back then would indeed make young people unhappy, and even hold grudges for a long time.Thinking about it in his shoes, Zhuang Mingqi himself felt that he could not be forgiven.

"However, you don't need to apologize at all, because that's what I deserve." The man said, "I said 'I'm sorry' back then, but I didn't realize where I was really wrong. My apology now is because of what happened back then. , The second is for the sentence 'I'm sorry' that I didn't realize the mistake at all.

"I apologize to you for my ignorance, my self-righteousness, and my cowardice."

Guan Ruoyu didn't answer.

He turned his head and looked out of the window, even though the outside was the downstairs of his home that he was all too familiar with, there was nothing to see, so he just looked at it for a few minutes.

Zhuang Mingqi also looked at him silently.

After a long while, Guan Ruoyu opened his mouth slowly: "Do you think that a four-word apology will make you appear sincere? Or is your long-winded debate team's eloquence able to convince me?"

"..." Zhuang Mingqi didn't know how to answer this tricky question. He opened his mouth, hesitated and hesitated, and finally said a very simple sentence, "I just want to apologize to you, but I don't know how to... express My confession."

"If you want to repent, go to the pastor." Guan Ruoyu said indifferently, "It's useless to find me."

At this moment, the young man seemed to have built an iron wall around him.It seems that what Zhuang Mingqi said, he didn't intend to accept it easily.He even kept looking out of the window, unwilling to even look at the other party, and the refusal to communicate was very obvious.

"I..." Zhuang Mingqi looked at the young man's profile, not knowing what to say to break the deadlock.For a moment, the man felt that he was so stupid, why did he bring up what happened back then.If you don't mention it, just get along slowly like this, maybe the things of that year will never be remembered again and will be forgotten forever.

But the next moment, Zhuang Mingqi himself denied this idea.If the matter of the year is not resolved, there will always be a ticking time bomb between him and Guan Ruoyu, and it will explode at an unknown time.Zhuang Mingqi had planted this bomb by mistake back then, and now he will never let it remain.

Having made a decision in his heart, the man took a long silent breath, and then spoke again.

"I came back for a big reason..." In the quiet car, the man's deep and slow words sounded, "It's for you."

Guan Ruoyu finally turned around and met the man's gaze.

But there was no surprise in those peach blossom eyes, not even friendly.

"What do you want to say?" Guan Ruoyu narrowed his eyes, "If something happens to you when you come back, business fails, or something else happens, will I be responsible?"

"No." Zhuang Mingqi looked into his eyes and stared at him, "I decided to come back. No matter what happens, I will bear the responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you."

"That's really great, but since that's the case, why did you say it?" Guan Ruoyu sneered, "Come back without authorization, saying it's because of me. Do you still want to say that the decision to go abroad without authorization is also because of me?"

Zhuang Mingqi looked at him fixedly.

"...Why? Do you really want to say that?" Guan Ruoyu said coldly, "Did you make a mistake? What we agreed back then was to finish college together in China before going out instead of going out to college. And you bastard went to apply for a foreign university by yourself for no reason, and you just told me the day before you left, you are obviously playing tricks on me, and you dare to say it is for me? Even if you blame the blame, you must teach the Basic Law!"

"It's not throwing the pot away." Zhuang Mingqi said, "This matter is indeed for you, but it has nothing to do with you."

Guan Ruoyu said, "Is it logical for you to hear this?!"

"It's because I liked you back then!"

A sudden sentence knocked the aggressive Guan Ruoyu into a daze.

But Zhuang Mingqi didn't stop talking.Like a broken pot, he let out all the words in his heart: "I suddenly applied to foreign universities because I found that I couldn't hold back my feelings for you in front of you, so I didn't even tell you. I didn't dare to tell you, so I just ran away! Now I follow you back to the country because I still love you, I can't bear it anymore...!"

Every word the man said was like a bomb, continuously exploding in Guan Ruoqu's ears and mind.The young man's mind buzzed for a while, and suddenly he caught a certain word in it.

He said... "love"?

Guan Ruoyu's mood at this moment seemed to be divided into two halves, one half said calmly, "That's true", while the other half murmured in panic, "He liked me back then? He still loves me now?".Chaotic thoughts surged up in the young man's mind, making him lose his composure.He opened his mouth and subconsciously put his hand on the door handle: "I..."

Zhuang Mingqi realized that the young man wanted to run away, and reached out to grab the young man's wrist: "Don't run away, listen to me."

"You still have the nerve to tell me not to run away?" Guan Ruoyu looked at the man's grabbing hand, frowned and said, "You fled across the country yourself, why do you have the nerve to talk about others?"

"I'm not trying to force you, I just want to explain what happened back then." Zhuang Mingqi said, "I only take a few minutes of your time, please listen to it, okay?"

Guan Ruoqu remained silent.

Zhuang Mingqi said: "Please."

"..." Guan Ruoyu glanced at him incredulously, pulled out his hand with all his strength, then leaned back in the chair, tilted his head and said, "...I'll give you 5 minutes."

Zhuang Mingqi saw him looking out of the window angrily, and didn't force him to look back, but slowly talked about what happened back then.

***

Guan Ruoyu and Zhuang Mingqi grew up together.

They went to the same kindergarten, the same elementary school, the same middle school, and the same high school.Being inseparable all the time, they agreed naturally to go to the same university.

Even though the family had already made the decision to immigrate at that time, they still felt that it would be good to finish university together in China and then go out together.

Of course, during this period, other little friends also came and went around the two, but they never got along.They are a true friendship who wear the same pair of pants. No matter how close they are to each other, others, even themselves, will not think it is a big deal.

Until one day, Zhuang Mingqi saw the pink envelope falling out of Guan Ruoyu's desk.

Until another day, Zhuang Mingqi woke up from the dream, and clearly realized that the person in the dream had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.

At first, he thought that it was just because he was old and had some heretical impulses, and he would go back to "normal" when he grew up.But what he didn't expect was that, as the days went by, instead of being able to see through this matter, he uncontrollably watched Ruo Dong more and more "tightly".

Guan Ruoyu occasionally complains that "you are taking too much control", but most of the time he still respects Zhuang Mingqi's statement without any grievances.Only Zhuang Mingqi knew that when Guan Ruoyu was hooking shoulders with other students, he wanted to rush up and tear those people aside; His eyes, his face, and his whole body were directly blocked; when Guan Ruoqu took a shortcut and crossed a certain alley with him, the urge to press him against the wall and kiss him flashed through his mind countless times.

But Zhuang Mingqi couldn't do that.

He saw everything about Guan Ruoyu, knowing that he got along well with the girls and liked them very much.Even if he didn't talk about friends because of the rules in middle school, when he grows up, it will be easy for Guan Ruoyu to get a girlfriend.Zhuang Mingqi realized that he couldn't drag this man with peach blossom eyes and walking in the light to his side because of his own selfishness, cutting off other possibilities for his future.

If Guan Ruoyu knew what he was thinking, he would be shocked and then stay away from him.

Not even friends.

Zhuang Mingqi couldn't accept this completely broken relationship. He restrained himself and restrained himself from looking at each other.Such emotions, accumulated day after day, became more and more turbulent.Zhuang Mingqi pressed it firmly, covering it.But he also knows that if this continues, it will only get more out of hand on the day of the outbreak.

Finally, Zhuang Mingqi realized that he could no longer keep looking at this person like this.

He needs to… calm down.

Escaping far away, going abroad, and calming down for a few years may be able to dilute this emotion.When the time comes to meet Guan Ruoyu again, there should be no such urge.You can keep the old emotions in the bottom of your heart, you can watch the other party go with the girl you like, and you can silently bless the other party.

Based on this idea, Zhuang Mingqi secretly reported to a foreign university and kept it a secret.It was not until the day before departure that Guan Ruoyu was told about this on the phone.

At that time, the college entrance examination had just ended and the scores had not yet been released. Guan Ruoyu didn't know which university he was going to go to.But he never thought that there would be no Zhuang Mingqi in his university.

This is tantamount to betrayal.

For Guan Ruoyu, the person who is least likely to betray suddenly tore up a long-standing agreement, which is equivalent to the destruction of more than ten years of emotions.In particular, Zhuang Mingqi couldn't explain why he did this, which made Guan Ruoyu feel like a clown who was still looking at the admission scores from previous years.Zhuang Mingqi even used the phone to tell him about this moment before departure, all of which made Guan Ruoyu furious and unacceptable.

He hung up the phone, rushed to Zhuang Mingqi's house, had a unilateral fight, made a unilateral move, and then slammed the door and left.

At the airport the next day, some students spontaneously went to see Zhuang Mingqi off, except Guan Ruoyu.

He broke up with Zhuang Mingqi.The other party can actually do such a thing, breaking off the relationship is already the lightest and calmest reaction.

All of Zhuang Mingqi's contact information has been blocked by Guan Ruoyu. Guan Ruoyu will not respond to Zhuang Mingqi by phone, email, or even messages from his family.Even if Guan Ruoyu went to the country where Zhuang Mingqi lived during his postgraduate studies, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

The parents of the two asked what happened, Zhuang Mingqi only said that it was his fault, while Guan Ruoyu directly said that their relationship had faded and they were too lazy to communicate.The parents took care of it a few times, but with little success, so they didn't bother to take care of the grown-up boys.

What Zhuang Mingqi didn't know was that Guan Ruoyu came out of the closet while he was a graduate student. In order to protect her son, Guan's mother kept her mouth shut about his situation.Occasionally, Guan's mother and Zhuang's mother talked about Guan Ruoyu's dating, but they didn't go into details, so Zhuang's mother just told her son that Guan Ruoyu had a girlfriend.

After Zhuang Mingqi found out, he thought that this was normal, but at the same time realized that he still couldn't accept such a thing.I haven't seen him for a few years, and I can only rely on some photos in the circle of friends of the elders to relieve the pain of lovesickness. This not only did not dilute Zhuang Mingqi's depressed emotions, but also nourished the man's desire for Guan Ruoyu.Zhuang Mingqi only found Guan Ruoyu's name from the famous psychological experiment group, as if he could imagine how excellent he has grown into.

When the boy grows into a man in his own right, he understands what he really wants, what he should face, and what he can't let go of.

The string that had been tensing Zhuang Mingqi was finally broken.

So after hearing the news of Guan Ruoyu's return to China, the man started to prepare, and finally boarded the plane in the name of returning to China to open up the market.

Right or wrong...

He is going to follow the person in his heart.
