love of life

The two were silent all the way, and the atmosphere in the car almost dropped to freezing point.Gu Ming has been weighing in his heart whether he should say it or not, and how to say it.The relationship between the two finally got on the right track. Mentioning Xu Chengwei at this time will undoubtedly make Lin Zexi bear another heavy memory.Besides, more than half a month has passed, and there is no sign of Xu Chengwei appearing, maybe it was just a false alarm and nothing will happen.But if he doesn't say it, he will become a small-minded and paranoid person, monitoring and restricting the freedom of his lover.Through observation during this period, he could see that Lin Zexi actually cared about trust and freedom.If this matter is not properly resolved, the relationship between the two will inevitably cause serious rifts.He secretly sighed in his heart. At that time, the situation was urgent, and he only thought about ensuring the safety of the other party, but he didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath.But Luka and his friends were not easy to mess with, so they were exposed so quickly.

Back at the apartment, the two of them sat side by side on the sofa, Gu Ming bit the bullet and said, "Zexi, I don't want to restrict your freedom or worry about your social interaction, I'm really just worried about your safety. "

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he paused, and glanced at the expressionless Lin Zexi, who seemed unmoved, waiting for him to continue.

"I..." Gu Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while, then continued: "Zexi, I was wrong about this matter, I promise I will never do this again, and I will never find anyone to follow you secretly again, Let this go like this, okay?"

Lin Zexi remained expressionless and did not speak.His silence and indifferent expression made Gu Ming feel very uncomfortable. Gu Ming knew that this matter would not be so easy to pass.He struggled for the last time and decided to tell him the truth of the matter.

Lin Zexi listened quietly, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "Why are you keeping it from me?"

Gu Ming said: "I don't want you to worry. I want to help you solve it in private. And mentioning his name once is equivalent to reopening your scars. I don't want you to suffer any more."

"Am I so fragile in your heart? This is nothing compared to what I have experienced in the past eight years. How can it make me suffer? You know, compared to others' deliberate harm, the concealment of people around you And deception is the most painful." Lin Zexi said calmly.

"I really didn't mean to hide it from you. I just think it's better to worry about one person than two people. You have worked hard enough these years, and I want to protect you from now on, and I don't want you to be hurt any more. I'm sorry, I didn't think about it." to your feelings."

Lin Zexi didn't speak, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.Gu Ming continued: "Zexi, can you forgive me?"

Lin Zexi still took advantage of his face and said: "Gu Ming, remember, people and things from outside can't destroy me, only the feelings I give and the people I care about will make me suffer. Don't treat me like someone in a greenhouse. Flowers, I'm not that delicate. Tell me something directly, I can't tolerate deceit and concealment."

"Okay, I'll remember. I'll discuss things with you in the future. Let the past pass, okay?" When he said this, a dusty matter flashed in Gu Ming's mind.So he guiltyly added that the past was over, the thing was over, no one else knew about it, and no one would mention it again.

Lin Zexi glanced at him, his expression had softened, but he was noncommittal, he just stood up from the sofa and said, "Get rid of all the people you're looking for. Xu Chengwei and I just met each other a few times. This kind of feeling will not be taken seriously. Besides, I haven't contacted him for so many years, he probably has forgotten me long ago. Don't pay too much attention to it. "

Gu Ming nodded and responded, but remembered what Xu Zhe said on the phone, and felt faintly uneasy.

The days continued to live peacefully, and the name Xu Chengwei never appeared again.The previous episode was gradually forgotten by everyone, Lin Zexi walked to and from class every day, and did not let Gu Ming come to pick him up.This afternoon, after class, Lin Zexi stopped by a nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients for her return.He was standing in front of the freezer picking ribs when suddenly a slightly hoarse voice called out his name.

"Zexi, it's really you. At first I thought I had mistaken the person."

Lin Zexi turned his head and saw a tall figure standing five steps away from him, looking at him with his head bent sideways.The man was wearing a short-sleeved Polo shirt and slacks, and his dark skin could not conceal his delicate and three-dimensional facial features.It only took Lin Zexi a few seconds to recognize him, Wang Yijie, whom he hadn't seen for eight years.

"You are...Wang Yijie? Didn't you go abroad? Why are you here?" Lin Zexi stopped what he was doing and asked while standing upright.

"I just came back not long ago. I thought it would take a lot of time to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here today. What a fate." Wang Yijie said with a smile.

Lin Zexi didn't know how to speak, and stood blankly for a while without speaking.

"Do you live near here? I live in the apartment above the supermarket, do you want to come up and sit down?" Wang Yijie sent out the invitation naturally, as if the eight-year gap did not exist.

"I still have something to do, let's do it next time." Lin Zexi carried the shopping basket and walked towards the cashier in a panic, not even taking the ribs he had just selected.

"That's fine, leave a call or add a WeChat." Wang Yijie took two steps to stand in front of him, took out his phone and said.

Lin Zexi was a little overwhelmed and didn't take out his mobile phone, but he didn't know how to say no.

Wang Yijie didn't seem to see his hesitation, but smiled and said: "Zexi, it's my fault for coming to you so late, but... I also have reasons. That incident hurt me My head, although it was cured later, I lost my memory. I can’t remember the past very vaguely, and my family kept it from me. It wasn’t until three months ago that I slowly remembered some things. We haven't said goodbye yet. I'm going back to China right away. I heard that your case has been cleared, but no one knows where you went. I have to settle down here. I believe that one day I will find you. Unexpectedly God brought you to me."

Wang Yijie's words reminded Lin Zexi that eight years ago, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, and was carried into an ambulance wearing an oxygen mask. His parents knelt in front of him and begged him to save him, and Xu Chengwei held Brick had a hideous expression on his face.Lin Zexi has always been a weak person, as if the whole world owes him, but even so, he still owes one person.No matter how many sacrifices he has made and how much pain he has endured, it cannot change the fact that he owes this man in front of him.

Lin Zexi swallowed, and finally asked, "How have you been all these years?"

Wang Yijie smiled lightly and said: "Except for forgetting you, everything else is fine. You have lived a much harder life than me. When I think of the suffering you have suffered in these years, I hate myself why I didn't think of the past earlier and come here sooner." around you."

These wonderful words sounded very harsh to Lin Zexi, he owed Wang Yijie, even if he spent five years in prison, it would not be able to offset the change in the trajectory of other people's lives.It's more like a heavy responsibility, and there's no more emotion than that.

"Can we leave a phone call? I have just returned to China, and I find it difficult to adapt to the domestic environment. You can help me when you are free." Wang Yijie said again.

This time Lin Zexi took out his mobile phone, exchanged phone numbers and left in a hurry.As soon as he walked out of the supermarket, he received a message from Wang Yijie applying to add WeChat friends.He hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

He went home to put down the shopping bag, only to find that he didn't buy any vegetables at all.He found two eggs, a piece of sausage and a piece of lettuce from the refrigerator, and planned to deal with today's dinner casually.A few minutes later, Gu Ming also came back.

Gu Ming put down his backpack and said, "Wei Qing and the others came back to school this afternoon to discuss the topic. It's rare to get together, so the chat was late. How are you today?"

"It's nothing, it's still the same." Lin Zexi said without interest, busy washing vegetables.

"Oh. By the way, you have one month left to finish the training class, right? What are your plans for the future?" Gu Ming asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, why did I suddenly think of asking this?"

"I happened to see a restaurant next door recruiting a chef today, and I wondered if you would be interested. I think cooking is a good hobby, but being a full-time chef is too hard, and there is a lot of oily smoke." Gu Mingzheng said Suddenly, there was a vibrating sound from the phone.He took out his mobile phone and took a look, and found that it wasn't his own. He said to Lin Zexi, "It seems that your mobile phone vibrated just now."

"Leave it alone, I'll talk about it when I'm done." Lin Zexi didn't stop what he was doing.

"Oh." At this moment, the phone vibrated a few more times. Gu Ming had doubts in his heart, but he held back and didn't ask.

At the dinner table, Gu Ming looked at today's three dishes and one soup, which was obviously much simpler than usual. He only thought it was because Ze Xi was busy with his classes, and he didn't express any opinions.

"What course did you study today?" Gu Ming asked.

"Chinese pastry, you can try it for breakfast tomorrow." Lin Zexi replied.

"Isn't it a lot of effort to make pasta? You have to get up early, right?" Gu Ming asked.

"Fortunately, half an hour earlier than usual, I have never had the habit of sleeping in anyway."

The two chatted without saying a word, and Lin Zexi's cell phone vibrated again.Gu Ming couldn't control his eyes and glanced at Lin Zexi. "Let's see who it is. It's been sending messages. Maybe there's something urgent."

Lin Zexi reluctantly took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. It was full of messages from Wang Yijie. At the beginning, he asked him if he had eaten, and later asked him why he didn’t reply to his text messages, and then recalled the past of the two of them. These boring messages Lin Zexi didn't want to go back at all.He turned off the phone screen and continued to eat.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ming continued to ask.

"It's nothing, just some boring harassing text messages." Lin Zexi replied.

"Really? Just set up to block information." Gu Ming forcibly dispelled the doubts in his heart.
