Gu Panshenghui

Chapter 15 Wait for me to come back
The car drove for more than four hours before arriving at the foot of Dongyao Mountain. The road in the second half was narrow and bumpy, and everyone was already exhausted when they got off the car.

In the village, cocks crow and dogs bark incessantly, creating the tranquility of the farm.

"It's completely different from the city, it's comfortable and comfortable."

"It reminds me of the sentence in "Peach Blossom Spring", 'The land is flat and the houses are like houses, and there are mulberry and bamboo in the fertile fields and meikes.'"

"Can't tell, you are serious in junior high school, you can memorize "Peach Blossom Spring"."

The two male students talked poorly, and the monitor went to ask for directions.After a while, I came back, "The road up the mountain is still ahead. The villagers told us to pay attention to safety. The mountain has not been fully developed and the mountain road is steep. Everyone should pay attention to safety, let's start going up the mountain."

Before going up the mountain, Gu Pan sent a message to Chen Shaochen.

The slope of the mountain road is steep, and they climbed for more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain.There is another scene on the mountain. The mountain is full of green and majestic. No wonder many people come here to sketch and take pictures.

The sky is gradually darkening, and it seems that there is a momentum of rain.Before it was dark, everyone quickly set up the tent.

"Is there going to be a thunderstorm?"

"It looks like it."

"We didn't happen to be there, and there is no signal here."

"Maybe you can see a rainbow after the rain."

Gu Pan was looking at his phone, but there was no signal, and he didn't know where his brother was.

As the backbone, the squad leader hurriedly said: "There are many showers on the mountain, and it will pass after a while."

Chen Shaochen's departure time was an hour later than expected - Zhou Shu went to the company to find him and insisted on following him.It was already evening when they arrived at Dongyao Village, when there were lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

Chen Shaochen stood under the eaves of the corridor, his body was a little wet from the rain.

Zhou Shu walked gently to his side, "Go in, you will get sick."

"When do you think the rain will stop?" he asked.

"I don't know, maybe it will stop after a while, the rain in summer is like this."

Chen Shaochen frowned all the time.

"Are you worried about Gu Pan?" Zhou Shu's eyes dimmed, "It will be fine with her classmates."

Chen Shaochen was silent, and he couldn't hide the worry on his face.

Zhou Shu pinched his palms, "I don't understand, why is she—" Her voice became lower and lower, drowned in the sound of rain, and she didn't know whether Chen Shaochen heard it or not.

The two stood for a long time, and Zhou Shu shivered from the cold.

The owner of the house shouted: "Girl, boy, come in quickly—"

Chen Shaochen didn't move at all, Zhou Shu sighed, and when she turned around, she heard Chen Shaochen's voice, "I'm sure of it the first time I see her."

So it was her.

Once he fell in love with this person, it was a matter of a lifetime.

Zhou Shu's face changed suddenly, and he was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

Chen Shaochen walked past her, and he spoke a few words to the mistress of the house.

The hostess disagreed when she heard it, "You want to go up the mountain now?" She waved her hands again and again, "It's too dangerous, it's raining, and the mountain is soft and prone to landslides."

"My friend is on top, I don't worry." He insisted, holding his fingers tightly.

The old man in the house was smoking a dry cigarette, "Young man, you'd better go up tomorrow, the road is not easy to walk in rainy days."

Chen Shaochen was silent for a while, his eyes were calm, and his face was persistent.The dim light from the fluorescent lights in the room left an unknown shadow on his face.

The old man smoked another cigarette, turned his head and said, "Xiaoying, get him a raincoat."

The hostess gave him another flashlight, "Hey, we can't persuade you, please be careful."

"Thank you." Chen Shaochen put on his poncho and walked to the door.

Zhou Shu stood there the whole time, his beautiful face was full of dead silence.She looked at him, and finally said again, "Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

The corner of Chen Shaochen's mouth moved slightly, "You stay here."

"Chen Shaochen!" Zhou Shu called his name, "Do you know how difficult this mountain road is? Have you ever thought about the consequences? Have you thought about your family?"

Chen Shaochen turned his back to her without looking back, "I have to go up the mountain." She was there.

Zhou Shu's tears finally flowed down, his face was stubborn and hurt, "You only see Gu Pan in your eyes, what about me? Have you really never seen my feelings for you?"

With a sullen face, Chen Shaochen took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Shu's chest seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and she suddenly hugged Chen Shaochen forcefully, pressing her face against the old rain poncho. "do not go--"

Chen Shaochen raised his hand, "Zhou Shu, don't do this." He took her hand, "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, but he can only disappoint her affection for him. His heart is so small that it can only hold a small bun.

Zhou Shu staggered back two steps, and stood in the corridor in a daze, letting the rain hit her body, her whole body was cold, as if this could relieve her pain.

The situation on the mountain is not optimistic, everyone stays in their tents.The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and everyone became more and more panicked.Even the tent could not withstand the heavy rain.

Gu Pan glanced at his phone, it was 8:26.He should be here.She was a little restless.

Gu Pan pulled Ye Zirui's hand, only to realize that Ye Zirui's body was hot.

Ye Zirui made a shush gesture to her, signaling her not to speak.With the help of the dim light, Gu Pan found that Ye Zirui's complexion was not very good either.

Ye Zirui said softly: "Everyone is very scared at this time."

Gu Pan wanted to find medicine, but they were not prepared at all.

Every minute is suffering, after half an hour, Ye Zirui fell asleep, Gu Pan went to discuss with the boy.

"It's too dangerous to go down the mountain when the rain is so heavy."

"I have a fever, give her some more clothes, hold on a little longer, and we'll go down when it's dawn."

But Ye Zirui's condition seemed to be getting worse, and it was difficult to breathe.

The squad leader also looked anxious, "The rain is getting lighter, I will send her down the mountain first." The others stayed where they were.

Everyone only wore disposable raincoats, which could not withstand the heavy rain at all.

The road was muddy, and the road was not easy to walk at all. Every step I took was slipping.Their hiking boots were already soaked.

The sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of the rain, and the mountain looked extremely frightening.

"Gu Pan, be careful, the ground is too slippery." Ye Zirui said weakly, "If you don't listen to me telling you to stay where you are, if you fall somewhere, how can I compensate Senior Brother Chen?"

Gu Pan slipped and fell to the ground.The squad leader paused for a moment, then looked back at her, "Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Pan shook his head and pointed to the front, meaning to continue walking down.The light of the flashlight could not illuminate the path under our feet at all.

Ye Zirui said, "Let's not go in such a hurry, monitor, I can hold on to nothing."

"Stop talking, keep your energy up, we still have a long way to go." The squad leader changed his posture, "Gu Pan, be careful yourself."

Gu Pan nodded.

After walking for a long time, the rain finally stopped.

Ye Zirui said hoarsely, "We came at a really bad time."

The squad leader frowned and looked ahead, there seemed to be a faint light flashing, "There seems to be a light in front—"

Gu Pan's heart skipped a beat.

They didn't move any more, but stood where they were, and the light got closer and closer.

Gu Pan felt that her legs were so heavy that she seemed to be stuck in the mud, and she almost felt that there was something wrong with her eyes.The man in the poncho—

he came.

"Gu Pan—" His voice was unusually clear in the silence.

Gu Pan's throat choked, and the cold cells boiled bit by bit.How difficult this road is, who would have thought that he would go up the mountain.

"Why did you go down the mountain?" Chen Shaochen asked.

The squad leader reacted from the shock, "Zi Rui has a high fever, we decided to send her down."

Chen Shaochen walked towards Gu Pan and asked her to hold the flashlight, while he took off his rain cape and put it on Ye Zirui, then turned to the squad leader and said, "I'll help her, you rest for a while. I just came up, and some sections of the road down the mountain have already passed." It's covered in mud and water, so be careful when you leave. Panpan, are you okay?"

Gu Pan nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, then let's go down now."

The squad leader and Gu Pan walked one after the other, with Chen Shaochen and Ye Zirui walking in the middle.

Gu Pan was greatly shocked in her heart, but after she calmed down, she was not so happy.She looked at Chen Shaochen's back, her eyes were covered with mist.

"Slow down, the slope ahead is a bit steep." The squad leader reminded.

Chen Shaochen paused for a while and looked back at Gu Pan, and then he let go of his heart that had been hanging all the way.There was no chance to talk, but fortunately she was well, so he was relieved.

Zirui seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, everyone gritted their teeth and speeded up.

The road is rough and the rocks are fragmented.When Gu Pan was going down, he suddenly staggered, and he rolled down instantly. Everything happened so fast that Chen Shaochen didn't have time to react.His face changed suddenly, he put Ye Zirui in place, and hurried over, "Are you injured?"

Gu Pan was in pain, and his calf was in a tearing pain.Chen Shaochen helped her up, shone the flashlight on her body, and looked her up and down, "Where is the injury?"

Gu Pan gestured, "No, rub it for a while, it's fine."

Chen Shaochen frowned, and asked the squad leader to support Ye Zirui.Next, he pulled Gu Pan.

The four continued to move forward.

After walking for more than half an hour, Chen Shaochen finally noticed Gu Pan's strangeness, he stopped, his eyes locked on her tightly,
"Where are you hurt?"

Gu Pan grabbed his hand and finally pointed to his left leg.

Chen Shaochen squatted down and touched her calf with both hands, "Did you hit a bone?"

There was a tear in the trousers, and Chen Shaochen held a flashlight under his chin. When he took a closer look, her calf was covered in mud and water, and the wound could not be seen at all. "The leg was cut."

Gu Pan pulled him up and gestured, "Let's continue walking."

Chen Shaochen sighed, turned his head and said, "There is still about one-third of the journey, you take Zirui down first. Gu Pan's leg is injured, let's walk slowly."

The squad leader agreed, "You guys pay attention to safety."

Chen Shaochen supported Gu Pan to lean against a tree, he sighed, "I should have come here in the morning."

Gu Pan grabbed the bark with mud in his nails.She took a deep breath before gesticulating, "No, I hope you don't come over."

Chen Shaochen looked at her deeply, the emotion in his eyes was thicker than ink, "How could I not come? Gu Pan, do you know how I got here this way?"

That torment tortured him every minute and every second.

Gu Pan swallowed, she knew, but she didn't want him to be in danger because of her.

His head rested on her shoulder, and the warm force spread to her body, "Go down, your wound needs to be treated, otherwise it will be infected."

After resting for a while, the two continued to walk down, and the pace had slowed down a lot.

After the rain, the breath in the mountains was fresh and comfortable, but every step they took was extremely heavy.

The two of them walked with difficulty, this day was really exhausting.I don't know how long I've been walking, and my legs don't seem to be my own anymore.

There are many things in life that are always unpredictable, just like today's heavy rain, so heavy and so long.

Just like no one expected Ye Zirui to get sick.

As if no one expected that Chen Shaochen would also be in danger.

In the three years after college, Gu Pan often dreamed of this night, which was long, dark and cold without any warmth.Whenever she woke up, her ears were wet, and those images kept flashing in her mind.

The old man at the foot of the mountain said that landslides are likely to occur on such a day, and Chen Shaochen was always worried about this on the way up the mountain.

At this time, staying on the mountain for one minute longer is more dangerous.The two of them are now in a mess, their bodies are soaked, and their clothes are sticking to their bodies, making them uncomfortable.

Gu Pan held Chen Shaochen's hand tightly, his hand was a little wet, I don't know if it was rain or sweat, but the palm was warm.

Gu Pan had been worried for so long, but after seeing him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It rained again.

The expressions of both of them became gloomy, and in the dark night, no one could clearly see whose expression.There seemed to be something else moving in the mountains, mysterious and cold.

Gu Pan bit the corner of his lips, and Chen Shaochen comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it might be a rabbit or a hedgehog, they're going down the mountain soon."

Dongyao Mountain, in the 80s, wolves often appeared on the mountain.This is what the old man in the village said. Over the years, people often go to the mountain to take pictures, and occasionally some people take pictures of wolves.

Gu Pan was panting, his calf trembling.Most of her body was leaning on Chen Shaochen's body.

Chen Shaochen also took a deep breath, "Hold on a little longer." He raised the flashlight and smoothed the hair sticking to her face with one hand, "The bangs have grown again, and I'll accompany you to cut them after I go back."

Gu Pan drew, "I heard from Tang Qin that there are special clips for cutting bangs, and cutting them is very simple."

Chen Shaochen was silent for a moment, "We'll go buy it when we get back, and I'll cut it for you later."

Suddenly, something came out of the grass, a black mass, which made Gu Pan panic.

Chen Shaochen held her hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, it's a hedgehog."

Gu Pan took a breath and gestured to him, "Fortunately, it's just a hedgehog."

They went on the road again, the rain was getting heavier, the road was slippery and steep, and they couldn't control themselves at all.The so-called going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult.The light from the flashlight is getting dimmer.

Suddenly the ground under his feet seemed to be flowing, and Gu Pan slipped down.

"Panpan—" Chen Shaochen quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.He protected the back of her head with one hand, and her waist with the other, tightly, without letting go.

The two of them rolled down, fast and furiously.After rolling several times in a row, the cells in the whole body are bearing the impact.

Time seems to have passed a century so long.

His voice was muddy, "Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Pan held back tears.The two were very close, but they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly.The flashlight didn't know where it fell. She moved her body and tried to get up. After trying several times, she finally found the feeling.

Seeing her get up, Chen Shaochen let out a soft breath.

The sparse shadows sway, the birds spread their wings, and the night is terribly quiet.

Gu Pan reached out to help Chen Shaochen, only to hear his panting voice, "Panpan, listen to me, don't touch me."

Gu Pan's blood froze, and his muddy fingers hung above him.

"It should take another half an hour to go down the mountain. You go down the mountain to find someone now." He said with difficulty.

Gu Pan grabbed his hand, whimpered, tears welling up.She could only open her mouth, unable to utter a word, the tears flowed into her mouth mixed with the mud on her face, it was bitter and hard to swallow.

She kept shaking her head, what should she do?
Who can tell her?
She gritted her teeth and wanted to speak, but all she could do was——

"Don't cry." Chen Shaochen wanted to wipe her tears away, but his strength seemed to be exhausted, "I just hit a bone, you help me call someone, don't be afraid."

Gu Pan choked with sobs, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart——

Gu Pan, you see he did this because of you.

Gu Pan, is this really what you want?

She raised her hand and gestured, "Are you really okay? Don't lie to me—" Her eyes were full of tears, and she saw the flashlight above from the corner of her eye, the faint light was like a spark of fire.

She crawled over and got the flashlight, which shone softly on one side of his face.Only then did Gu Pan see his face clearly, he was in so much pain.

He raised his hand to hold her hand, "Be obedient—" Now he is tired of saying one more word.

Gu Pan gritted her teeth and stood up slowly. She knew that she couldn't hesitate at this time, and the only way to survive was to go down the mountain.

She nodded helplessly and walked down the mountain.

The time to go down the mountain was a little faster than Chen Shaochen expected.Gu Pan trotted all the way to the rented house, slammed on the door vigorously, his palms were burning hot.

The yard dog barks.

She couldn't call out, so she could only slap on the door vigorously.

After a while, someone came out from inside.

The hostess was wearing a coat, "Who is it?" She didn't open the door.

Gu Pan was babbling outside the door, still knocking on the door non-stop.

The hostess turned on the light, "Speak!"

Gu Pan continued to knock on the door.

The hostess was silent for a moment, thought of something, opened the door quickly, and saw her with a surprised face, "Miss, are you going down the mountain?"

Gu Pan was babbling and making gestures non-stop.

"Your clothes are wet, come in first."

Gu Pan shook his head and kept pointing at the mountain.

She ran into the house, found paper and pen, and quickly wrote: "My friend is injured on the mountain, please go up the mountain with me."

The hostess looked at the words she wrote, "I can't read. Wait, I'll call someone."

Gu Pan felt that all the strength in her body was drained, she leaned limply against the cold wall, her fingers trembling.

Zhou Shu rushed out, "Did Shao Chen go down the mountain with you?"

The old man went downstairs and saw the words, and sighed, "Xiaoying, go to the next door and call Da Mao and the others, and tell a few more people to go up the mountain quickly."

Zhou Shu shouted, "He's on the mountain? What happened to him?"

The hostess replied: "Don't worry, we will pick him up now."

Zhou Shu's expression changed drastically, "I'll go with you."

When we went up the mountain again, there were six people in a group.Those men walked in front, and their steps were a little fast.

Gu Pan gritted her teeth and followed along, her heart was heavy along the way, and every step she took was suffering.Zhou Shu followed her all the time, and she slipped several times. Gu Pan tried to help her, but she pushed him away.

When they finally arrived, Gu Pan took the hostess' hand and pointed to the tree ahead.

"In front." An uncle shouted.

Gu Pan walked over holding his palm.Chen Shaochen still maintained the movement just now, when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes.

Zhou Shu called his name, "Shao Chen, how are you doing?"

His voice was hoarse and soft, "Panpan—"

Gu Pan stretched out his hand to touch his face, it was cold.

"Panpan—" he read her name again, "you get close to me, I can't see your face clearly."

Gu Pan leaned over gently, she tried her best to hold back her tears, touched his face with trembling hands, looked at him without blinking, never felt such pain in her heart.

His quiet eyes were full of relief, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

People in the village have experience, "Bone is broken, let's be careful and go to the hospital quickly."

It was slightly bright, and Gu Pan was sitting on a wooden chair in the hospital corridor. The doctors and nurses who came and went looked over, feeling a little strange.A girl covered in mud is as distraught as a puppet.

After receiving Zhou Shu's call, Song Qingyang and his wife rushed over immediately, "How is Shao Chen?"

Zhou Shu's eyes were red, "The ribs were broken, no internal organs were injured, and the head was hit. The doctor said that he will not know the situation until he wakes up."

Song Qingyang looked heavy and calmed down, "Only, you take them to change clothes."

Chu Weiwei frowned, she and her husband were worried all the way after receiving the news.She looked at Gu Pan, unable to bear it, "Let's go."

Gu Pan frowned and left with her anyway.

In the evening, Chen Shaochen's parents rushed over, but he hadn't woken up yet.

Gu Pan stood in the corner, as quiet as if he didn't exist.

Xu Chenxi took a breath, her face was full of worry, "Okay, Qingyang, you take the only one and Xiaoshu back first."

Zhou Shu stepped forward, "Auntie, I won't go—"

Xu Chenxi patted her hand, "Good boy, your parents are also worried about you, go back first, and come to see Shaochen another day."

Zhou Shu reluctantly left after hearing what she said.

Gu Pan was still there, her complexion was very bad.She had taken a bath and changed her clothes, and the wounds on her body were exposed. There were wounds on her face, neck, hands, wherever she could see.

Xu Chenxi walked over and sighed, "Why did you make yourself like this?"

Gu Pan bit his lip, bent down and wrote a note, "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Xu Chenxi shook her head, "It's not anyone's fault, no one wants such a thing to happen."

But who is to blame?
The afterglow of the setting sun came in from the window, and the corridor was long and quiet.When Chen Zhanbei came back with food, he saw Gu Pan's voice standing by the window from a distance, his delicate face was full of deep sadness and uneasiness.

He stopped for a while, and walked over after a while.His voice was a little low, "Panpan, come over and have something to eat."

Gu Pan blinked at him and put away his blank expression.

"Shaochen will be fine." The tough Chen Zhanbei couldn't bear to face her.

Gu Pan felt extremely uncomfortable, the attitude of Chen's father and Chen's mother made her even more regretful, and the originally clear and bright eyes were cast a layer of gloom.

Gu Pan took out the paper and pen, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, brother did this because of me."

Chen Zhanbei's face was serious, "He won't be happy to see you like this now."

Gu Pan twitched the corners of his mouth, his mouth filled with bitterness.Just now she made a decision to let go.

She was too scared, afraid of hurting him because of herself.In this way, it is better not to be together.

Chen Zhanbei saw her struggle in her eyes, and his face softened a little, "Come, have something to eat."

At this time, Xu Chenxi's flustered voice came, "Zhanbei—come in quickly—"

Chen Zhanbei and Gu Pan immediately ran into the ward.Chen Shaochen was already awake, he opened his eyes.

Xu Chenxi cried, "Shao Chen's eyes are gone."

Chen Shaochen said with difficulty, "Parents, are you all here?"

Chen Zhanbei comforted his wife, "He hit his head, and there is a blood clot in his brain, and his eyes will recover after the blood clot disappears."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Xu Chenxi was about to collapse.

Chen Zhanbei repeated again, "Shaochen, don't be nervous, the doctor mentioned this to us before, so wait." He restrained his worries.

The corners of Chen Shaochen's mouth were chapped, and he said hoarsely, "Mom and Dad, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"Stop talking." Xu Chenxi said, "Gu Pan is here, she's fine, she's fine, all the wounds on her body have been treated."

Chen Shaochen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Mom and Dad, I have something to say to Panpan."

Xu Chenxi looked at Gu Pan, saw her face was pale and her eyes were red, so she quickly turned her face away, "Your father and I will go to the doctor."

The ward was so quiet that there was no sound.

Chen Shaochen moved his fingers, "Panpan come here—"

Gu Pan walked to the bed with difficulty, his eyes fell on him, how much pain did he have at that moment?

"Crying?" He asked, "Did you get frightened?" He sighed silently, Little Bread must have been frightened.

Gu Pan shook his head, only then did he realize that he couldn't see it.Gu Pan took a deep breath, held his hand, and wrote on his palm with his index finger: "Don't talk, your bone is broken, it hurts."

Chen Shaochen hummed lightly, moved his hand, and replaced it with him holding her hand.Gu Pan stroked his nails, the round and full nails were still covered with mud that had not been washed off.

Gu Pan looked sad for a while.

Chen Shaochen exhaled, "You sit by my side, so that I can be at ease."

Gradually he fell asleep again, and Gu Pan sat there, tears falling uncontrollably.

She prayed over and over in her heart to bless his eyes.

Ye Zirui came to the hospital, Gu Pan hugged Ye Zirui and burst into tears.

"It'll be fine." Ye Zirui could only comfort her like this.

Gu Pan lost a lot of weight. She lowered her eyes and wrote on the paper: "I was wrong. Some people are beyond my expectations. Many people think that being with him will drag him down. I didn't believe it before, but now I I have to believe it."

Ye Zirui was terrified, "Gu Pan—" She could feel the indescribable sadness on her body, "Don't think too much! Calm down first, this incident was an accident! Senior brother Chen really likes you, how could you be so easy? Do you have this idea? Besides, you like Senior Brother Chen so much!"

It is precisely because she likes it that she wants to let go.

Chen Shaochen's eyes recovered on the second day. In the two days, Gu Pan felt for the first time that the days were as long as years. Her heart was in severe pain, and her brows were filled with endless sadness.

The heavy curtains blocked the light outside, and the doctor said the precautions, "Well, it's all right, take a good rest these few days." He is a famous ophthalmologist invited by the Chen family from City B.

"Excuse me, Doctor Lu." Chen Zhanbei and Xu Chenxi went to see him off, leaving space for them.

Chen Shaochen's eyes fell on her without blinking, "Come here, let me have a look."

Gu Pan took a breath, and then walked over slowly.

Chen Shaochen frowned, "Turn up the pants and let me see—"

Gu Pan clenched his hands tightly and did not move.

"Shall I do it?" he insisted.

Gu Pan gritted his teeth and lifted his pants. The wound was red, and it seemed that he hadn't dealt with it in the past two days.The wound was six to seven centimeters long, and the skin around the wound was red, and it looked like it was inflamed.

Chen Shaochen sighed, "Gu Pan!" His tone was a bit stiff, and his face was tense, "What do you want me to say about you?"

Gu Pan looked at him carefully, gestured, "It doesn't hurt, I'll forget it if you don't mention it."

Chen Shaochen's good-looking eyebrows and eyes were a little helpless, "Remember to go to the doctor for medicine later, so as not to leave scars."

Gu Pan felt sore in her heart, and raised her hand to touch his fingers, holding them many times, she wanted to remember the lines on his palm.

"What's wrong?" He noticed her strangeness.

Gu Pan exhaled and gestured, "It's good that you're fine." Her eye circles were wet all around, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.She looked at him, trying to engrave him in her mind.

Gu Pan slowly bent down, leaned his face against his side, and wrote his name stroke by stroke with his ten fingers on his palm——

Shao Chen——

I love you--

Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "Reward for being injured?"

Tears slipped from the corners of Gu Pan's eyes, soaking his clothes.

Chen Shaochen stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and Gu Pan stayed with him every day.She took a sketchbook and helped him draw a picture every day.

He can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and Gu Pan is still painting him at the moment, and Chen Shaochen also noticed that she looked at him sometimes, emptily wondering what she was thinking.

He walked over and took her drawing book, "I'll put it away later."

Gu Pan snatched it up and put it away, she won't give it to him, she wants to keep it.

Treasure for a lifetime.

She raised her head and smiled slightly, Chen Shaochen was confused by her smile, lowered his head and kissed her on the face.He spread his arms around her in his arms, Gu Pan heard his steady and powerful heartbeat, his heart ached more and more.

In the evening, Xu Chenxi came to the hospital, and the three of them had dinner together.

Gu Pan accompanied her downstairs, held her hand, and took out a blue envelope from her bag.

"What is this?" Xu Chenxi was surprised. On the envelope was written the words "Chen Shaochen's personal letter", "For Shaochen?"

Gu Pan nodded, his expression gradually becoming distant.She took out a note and wrote a few lines on it, which was obviously prepared long ago.

Xu Chenxi quickly glanced over, "Auntie, I was very sad about the brother's injury. I was terrified that night, and I still feel scared when I think about it now. I thought about it for a long time, and this decision was not impulsive. I am not suitable for him. He That's good, I will definitely meet a very good girl in the future, at least she can talk."

Gu Pan could never forget that when he rolled down the mountain, she wanted to shout, but she couldn't.That feeling is really uncomfortable, like walking to a cliff, no matter what you do, it is futile.

Before she met him, she had the idea of ​​living alone for the rest of her life.

Now that idea is back again.

Because of a painful experience, she made up her mind to let go of this relationship.

Xu Chenxi was shocked, "Panpan, I can't bear to see you like this."

Gu Pan smiled brightly, looked at Xu Chenxi gratefully, and took out another piece of paper.

Xu Chenxi was stunned again, and it was written on the piece of paper, "Auntie, thank you. I know that no mother would like her child to find a girlfriend like me. I will never be able to speak for the rest of my life. Brother hurt me I don’t even have the ability to shout.” That piece of thin paper seemed to weigh a thousand catties.Xu Chenxi's hands trembled, and she continued to read, "If you haven't met me, you and your uncle won't worry about your brother's future. Auntie, please help me deliver this letter to my brother."

Xu Chenxi looked at her in disbelief, "Panpan——Shao ​​Chen won't agree with your decision, you know, how much he likes you? He even died for you—" Xu Chenxi didn't continue.

Gu Pan was silent for a while, and there was a kind of transparency in his eyes that saw the whole life."No, he understands me," she wrote on the paper.

A simple sentence, but it makes people feel unbearably heartbroken.

Xu Chenxi held the paper, her words were a little strong, and the back of the paper was slightly raised.At that moment, she suddenly felt that she was back to her youthful days, when she was also paranoid and crazy.

"Good boy—"

Gu Pan took a deep breath, and wrote again: "I won't be leaving with you tomorrow." Her heart ached as if she had already died.

That night, Gu Pan kissed Chen Shaochen's face and listened to him say goodnight to her.It's just that he didn't know that she secretly recorded the phrase "good night" with her mobile phone.

The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze was mild.

It's just that when Chen Shaochen woke up, he realized that something was wrong.Xu Chenxi handed the letter to him, "She left, and her father picked her up early in the morning."

Chen Shaochen staggered, his ribs hurt like thousands of ants were gnawing on him.He opened the envelope, and there were familiar handwriting on the elegant letter paper.

When she left, she meant to leave him, to part, to break up this relationship.

Chen Shaochen smiled bleakly, it turned out that the recent worries about gains and losses originated from this.

They all knew that Gu Pan was hit too hard by his injury this time.

The car moved slowly, and Chen Shaochen looked out the window, devastated.

The temperature in July is getting higher day by day, and the orange warning has been sounded.

Chen Shaochen was sitting in the study, and the succulent plants on the terrace seemed to have grown up.Gu Pan had mentioned to him several times before that the succulents did not grow, and he was very helpless.Perhaps those small changes will always be discovered after a long absence.

Xu Chenxi filled a bowl of bone soup, "Drink some soup." Seeing that her son was silent, with a comic book in hand, she sighed, "Have you contacted her?"

A week has passed, and Gu Pan's WeChat and Weibo have not been updated, and everything has stopped at the picture of Dongyao Mountain.

Chen Shaochen raised his eyes, "She has already hid in her own shell, it won't be so easy to get out."

Sure enough, these two people have a good understanding of each other and understand each other.

Xu Chenxi didn't know what Gu Pan wrote in the letter, but it can be seen from his son's recent performance that he must have convinced him.

Otherwise, how could he let go easily with his persistence?
Many years later, someone asked Chen Shaochen, "Since you love her so much, why didn't you go find her?"

It was at the beach, and the waves were rolling.He looked into the distance, "Because I know we still have a lifetime to go."

He was too young at the time, and he didn't handle many things well, but he knew that one day, they would meet again after parting.

In mid-August, Xu Chenxi returned to City D.On the day before leaving, Chen Shaochen suddenly said, "I decided to go to America to study."

Xu Chenxi was packing her luggage. When she heard his voice, she slowly raised her head. With a distance of two meters, the eyes of mother and child met. "good."

When Gu Pan returned to City D, a small cold resulted in pneumonia, and he was hospitalized for more than half a month.She didn't hide anything about Dongyao Mountain from her family, and she calmly told them about it.

At this time, she had recovered from the pain of that night, her eyes were clear and peaceful.

Gu Nian hugged her and gently stroked her back, as if returning to when she was two or three years old, her mother's embrace was as warm as ever. "Mom supports your decision." Gu Nian's eyes were red, and she saw her daughter's emaciation.Ever since she came back, Song Huaicheng hadn't had a full night's sleep.

They were worried about her, but there was nothing they could do.

Parting is also for a better reunion next time.

Since then, the Song family tacitly stopped mentioning the word "Chen Shaochen".

Gu Pan looked at the flight on his phone, Beijing to New York, the flight time was 10 hours, [-] minutes.

She sat on a deck chair in the yard and kept looking at the blue sky.Occasionally, a plane flew by in the sky, and she just watched silently.

Letting go, it hurts.

capital Airport.

Chen Shaochen said goodbye to his family and classmates one by one.Before the security check, he also took a look at the entrance of the hall. There were people coming and going, but unfortunately he never saw the person he wanted to see.

Huahai said, "She knows you're leaving."

Chen Shaochen pursed the corners of his lips, "Contact me if you need anything."

"I know, don't worry." Huahai promised. "Bon Voyage."

"Thank you." Chen Shaochen said solemnly.

Xu Chenxi looked at her son's back and sighed.

Chen Zhanbei held her shoulders, knowing that she was suffering because of her son during this period, "They are still young and have a long life, and maybe they will encounter more and more difficult things in the future. If they are destined to live a lifetime, then this Kan always has to face it."

Xu Chenxi said shyly, "It's also a pain for the two children."

"Bitter first, then sweet." Chen Zhanbei replied.

Security check.

Chen Shaochen took out things from his bag one by one, mobile phone, wallet, and went through the security check. When he was packing up his things, a girl behind accidentally touched him, and the black wallet fell to the ground.

The girl bent down to pick it up, "I'm sorry."

Chen Shaochen replied lightly, "It's okay." He opened the wallet, and there was still the photo in it, and gently stroked her face with his fingertips.

Little bread, wait for me to come back.
