Chapter 16 I Only Care About You

Spring goes to autumn, and three years have passed so quickly.In the blink of an eye, it's June graduation season again.

The senior students are nothing more than two states, some are crazy busy, and some are so idle that they want to grow hair.

Tang Tan is going back to her hometown. She has signed a contract with a local high school and is about to become an art teacher.Ye Zirui is still making the final sprint for the department's research quota.She was going to take the exam under Li Sheng's sect, and there were only two places, so the pressure was very high.

Gu Pan came back from the studio.She has been working part-time there for the past three years, and her life is very fulfilling.

Ye Zirui gave her a sideways look, "Hey, I'm a little bit retreating."

Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "Don't retreat without a fight."

Ye Zirui joked: "Without you, a powerful competitor, I feel a lot easier."

Gu Pan yawned and didn't sleep much for a week, his eyelids were dry and astringent.

"Tired?" Ye Zirui asked.

Gu Pan rubbed his eyes.I'm going to the library to write a thesis tomorrow. There is something wrong with her thesis. The teacher has already sent her two emails.

Gu Pan typed on the keyboard quickly, wrote for over an hour, revising and revising.Someone sat down on the opposite side, and she stopped when she raised her head and stretched her waist.

Han Yexing smiled slightly, "Long time no see."

Gu Pan nodded towards him, his long hair fluttering slightly to his chest.

He is now a Ph.D. student at T University. In the past few years, the two of them occasionally met at school, but they didn't have much negotiation.People in their current year have left T University one after another, and there is indeed a feeling that things are right and wrong.

"Writing a graduation thesis?" Han Yexing asked.

Gu Pan nodded.

"Time flies, I have known you for almost four years." Han Yexing looked at her, something flashed in his eyes. "I haven't thanked you for the picture you made for me last time."

Gu Pan saved the thesis, closed the computer, and wrote on the paper: "It's easy to do."

Han Yexing opened his eyes, "What are your plans after graduation?"

Gu Pan really didn't think about it, shook his head, and wrote: "Interviewed several studios."

Han Yexing couldn't help but stare at her quietly, "Aren't you planning to go back to City D?"

The corners of Gu Pan's eyes moved slightly, and he wrote: "I will go back, but I won't go now."

Han Yexing clasped his fingers together, thoughtfully.A few days ago, there was a news in the circle that Chen Shaochen graduated ahead of schedule.He is really ruthless, and desperately finished the graduate course of Columbia University in the fastest time, with excellent grades.

It seems that he is coming back.

Gu Pan's graduation thesis was finally handed in. The tutor discussed with her about the graduation defense, and wanted to ask her if she wanted a sign language interpreter. Gu Pan was grateful.But there is no precedent, she still chooses to answer by handwriting.

As soon as I logged in to QQ, I jumped out to edit Yunduo's information.

Yun Duo: Cici, when can I hand in the drawing?

Gu Pan: Mid-June?
Yun Duo: I wait until my hair turns gray.

Gu Pan thought about how to comfort her.

Yun Duo sent another message: Cici, when are you free, let's meet up?I'll show you my ID card and work permit, don't worry, I'm definitely not a liar.

Gu Pan: Liars are everywhere these days.

Yun Duo vomited blood.

One year ago, in the dead of night, Gu Pan posted his comic story on the Internet. The protagonists of the comic were oranges and bread.A week later, her Weibo suddenly gained [-] fans.

Yun Duo is an editor of a comic publishing company, and immediately followed her Weibo, and sent six private messages in a row, wanting to sign her comics.Gu Pan refused at first, but Yun Duo kept in touch with her, and the two gradually became friends.

It was not until the beginning of this year that Gu Pan was persuaded by Yun Duo to agree to publish.

There are tens of thousands of fan comments on Weibo, and there are all kinds of comments.

"Is the author still a student?"

"Are oranges and bread a true story?"

"cici, I'm curious why you chose this name? Do you like to drink Xizhilang cici?"

Because of an important person in her life, his initials - CSC.When she re-registered the Weibo account, she thought of him.

Heard he is still doing well in America.

I heard that he has a girlfriend who is beautiful and wise.

Everything is just hearsay.

A few days later, a post popped up on the school forum——Student Y from the Fine Arts Department of the Academy of Fine Arts was adopted.Half an hour after the post was published, there have been more than 2000 replies.

Ye Zirui didn't come back until evening, her face was gloomy.

Gu Pan and Tang Tan looked worried, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zirui smiled bleakly, "The dean came to me in the afternoon and canceled my postgraduate quota."

"Isn't this confusing right and wrong?" Tang Qin was indignant, "Let's go to the dean, we can prove it for you." Ye Zirui put in so much effort for this insurance research.

Ye Zirui shook her head, "I've made it very clear, who will believe it? I took Zhou Runzhi's money, and he helped with my mother's illness and funeral."

But this is not a nurturing relationship!

Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "I'm going to find Teacher Li."

Ye Zirui took her hand, "No, I've already decided not to go to graduate school." She looked serious, "I've figured it out, I have to make money quickly and pay off early."

Gu Pan and Tang Tan knew that what she had made up her mind to could not be changed.

In the past few days, everyone has been in a bad mood. The list of college graduates has been announced, and there is no Ye Zirui.On Friday night, a classmate in the class celebrates his birthday and invites everyone to dinner.

Drinking one cup after another, he couldn't stop it at all. At the end of the drinking, Tang Tan and Gu Pan were drawn together.

The beer tasted bitter, and Gu Pan didn't like it.

Ye Zirui has a good capacity for alcohol, and only a few of them know about it.Gu Pan couldn't do it anymore. After drinking two cups, his brain became a little dizzy.

Time is getting later and later, people are gradually leaving.Gu Pan stood at the window, the cold wind made her gradually wake up.

The squad leader came behind her, with a lost tone, "Gu Pan, I—I'm sorry for what happened back then. If I hadn't asked you to go up the mountain to sketch, so many things wouldn't have happened."

In the past few years, he has been regretting and blaming himself, and every time he faces Gu Pan, he can't wait to whip himself.

Gu Pan wrote on the mobile phone: "Squad leader, that matter has nothing to do with you, it's my own problem." She looked at him and couldn't help stretching out her hand.

Zhou Zhiheng opened his eyes and held her hand, "Gu Pan, you will be happy."

Three years, more than 1000 days and nights, but for Chen Shaochen, everything seems to be still in yesterday.

Chen Shaochen sat in the car and looked at his phone, the screen stopped on the Weibo page.In the dark, the light from the mobile phone refracted on his face, reflecting his handsome and elegant facial features, and there was a long-lost warmth between his brows.

The co-pilot glanced at his phone, "Are you still reading comics?"

Chen Shaochen hummed lightly, "I want to know the ending."

"What cartoon?" the man asked.

Chen Shaochen's eyes flashed, "The story of oranges and bread."

"Does it look good?"

"Not bad." He said meaningfully.

Bread, I'm back.

Only this time we meet again, we can never be separated again.After waiting for so long, he has enough patience.

Three years, how many days and nights we spent separately.However, I miss you very much.

In the last class of the senior year, everyone did not come.Regret is inevitable.

The teacher chatted with them about the original intention of learning painting.Half of the students said that it was their parents' choice at the beginning, and they were forced to.

The teacher was dumbfounded by their complaints.

Later, we talked about the favorite works of our favorite painters, and we talked freely.A classmate mentioned Liang Jingshen, a famous domestic painter, and the reason he likes him is that he is very handsome.

Someone sneered, "Superficial."

The teacher replied in a deep voice: "Liang Jingshen's painting skills are no longer at the average level in China. There are also some gossips about him. He has two closed students, one is his wife—"

"Wow—teacher-student love!" Everyone coaxed in unison.

"Teacher, tell me their stories—"

"I won't talk about that here." The teacher changed the subject, "I'm going to talk about another student of Liang Jingshen, her name is Gu Nian—"

Everyone fell silent.

"Gu Nian is good at figure painting. There is a work called——say. You may have heard of it. This painting aroused high praise in France." The teacher sighed, "The protagonist of the painting is her daughter."

Some people have already gone to Baidu on the Internet.

"Teacher, can her daughter really not speak?"

The whole class was in an uproar.

The teacher shook his head, "I don't know, there are no reports about this from the outside world. Speaking of which, the child should be as old as you."

Gu Pan's eye circles were reddish, and his throat was choked.

"Gu Pan—" the teacher called her name.

The classroom was so quiet that there was no sound at all. There were rhythmic footsteps in the corridor, which were long and empty, one after another, until they gradually faded away.

Ye Zirui sat next to Gu Pan, and when the teacher mentioned the child, she looked at Gu Pan.The people in the classroom gradually turned their attention to Gu Pan, and everyone seemed to have guessed something.

Gu Pan lowered his head slightly.

After a long time, she stood up slowly and walked to the podium step by step.

All eyes were on her.

She picked up the chalk, raised her hand and wrote on the blackboard:

I am the little girl in the picture.

There was a gasp from below.

Gu Nian - Gu Pan -

the same last name...

can't speak...

They never thought that Gu Pan's mother would be Gu Nian.

She blinked, smiled calmly, and continued: "It's a pity that I can't speak, but I am very lucky to meet my family and you."

The last class of graduation, everyone kept it in their minds that day.The process of learning painting is hard, but every time they think of Gu Pan, they will think a lot.

Gu Pan taught them a lesson, taught them to be open-minded and strong.

The more I don't want to say goodbye, the faster the time flies, and it's the day of the graduation ceremony in a blink of an eye.Everyone put on light makeup that day and looked energetic, and the large bachelor's uniform felt very different on the body.

At the end of the principal's speech, there was warm applause in the auditorium.Everyone came to the stage in order, and it was Li Sheng who presented Gu Pan with a diploma.

"Little girl, congratulations on graduating." He said with emotion.

Gu Pan smiled slightly.

The audience was still noisy, and from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly caught sight of a person standing in the audience, and her heart skipped a beat.After she stepped down, look in that direction again, and that person is no longer there.

After the graduation ceremony, the courtyard prepared a teacher appreciation banquet at the ×× Hotel.

At the beginning of the evening, everyone was talking and laughing, but at the end, the atmosphere became more and more sad.

Ye Zirui drank a lot, red wine, beer, anyone who came.Gu Pan helped her to go to the bathroom, she was shaking while walking, "You go out first, I want to vomit."

Gu Pan patted her on the back before coming out, the corridor was quiet, she was standing in the corridor.Footsteps came from behind her, she thought it was Ye Zirui, but when she turned around, she saw him standing a few meters in front of her.

The light in the corridor is not so clear, his eyes are focused and soft.

Gu Pan only felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, and his fingers slowly curled up.

Chen Shaochen stared at her for a moment, and walked over slowly, "Have you been drinking?" His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, "I've learned to drink without me, huh?"

Gu Pan bit the corner of his lip, his eyes seemed to be covered with mist.

His hands slowly covered her forehead, "The bangs are so long—" he stated calmly, his brows furrowed slightly.

A familiar breath lingered beside her, and Gu Pan remained motionless.

Chen Shaochen sighed, took a step forward, put his toes against hers, and gently pulled her into his arms, "Little Bread, I'm back."

He came back, and after three years, he finally came back.

Gu Pan stood there in a daze, with a thousand turns in his heart.The corner of her mouth slowly raised a contented arc, so many days and nights, she didn't dare to think about him.But now he hugged her tightly, and his thoughts flowed like a tide.

True, beautiful and timeless.

Time passed by, and the two finally came out of the joys and sorrows of reunion.

"Shao Chen—" a male voice called out hesitantly.

Gu Pan left his embrace quickly, turned his head and stood aside.

"I thought I was dazzled, it's really you." The man's eyes were fixed on Gu Pan.

Chen Shaochen held back his expression and did not intend to introduce them. He looked at the time and said, "I'll pick you up at 10:30." The tone was not questionable.He straightened her hair, his eyes were hot, "Go in."

Gu Pan walked into the box with heavy steps.

Chen Shaochen stood there and watched her back until she went in.

"She can't be just Gu Pan, can she?" the man exclaimed.

Chen Shaochen was silent for a long time, "Yes, she is Gu Pan."

The man looked surprised.

He and Chen Shaochen are postgraduate classmates and roommates.The first time I heard Gu Pan's name was at a gathering of overseas students.Chen Shaochen studies very hard, but he is also low-key, everyone has a good impression of him.

There are naturally girls around who fall in love with him, but he always rejects others invisibly.

That day, everyone played a game of big adventure, Chen Shaochen lost, he chose the truth.

It was supposed to be the boy who asked the question, but a girl from Hong Kong asked the question instead.

"Shaochen, do you have a girl you like?"

Everyone fell silent, waiting for Chen Shaochen's answer.

Holding the cup, Chen Shaochen had a handsome face, as if he was meditating, as if he was remembering.After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"What's her name?" The girl asked almost without stopping.

Chen Shaochen looked at her, with a little sadness mixed in his quiet eyes, "Gu Pan, Gu Pan who shines brightly." When he mentioned her name, he smiled again.

"Then where is she now? Are you still together?" The girl asked again.

Chen Shaochen got up, and said desolately: "Sorry, I have already answered two questions, according to the rules, you have no chance to ask questions."

"Hey—" everyone sighed, "Chen Shaochen, you're trying to whet people's appetites."

Chen Shaochen's brows quickly passed the powerless emotion, but it was so fast that no one noticed.

Three years in the United States, during which he did not come back once.Little Bread has her obsession, so he will wait until the day when he is full-fledged.

When Gu Pan returned to the box, he obviously couldn't concentrate and was stuck in his own mind.

Several classmates have been toasting, crying and laughing.

Gu Pan pushed Ye Zirui, telling her not to drink anymore.How could Ye Zirui listen to her at this time?When Jin Ran came over, Gu Pan was playing with his mobile phone.Jin Ran sat beside her, and they hadn't communicated for a long time.

"Let's have a drink." Jin Ran said in a crisp voice.She smiled and said again, "Heh - it was a classmate party after all, how come everyone didn't even have a chance to have a drink in the end?"

Gu Pan let out a breath, took out a pen from her bag, without paper, and wrote in her palm: "Are you here to apologize?"

Jin Ran was taken aback, "I don't owe you anything."

Gu Pan wrote again: "You don't owe me, you owe Zirui." The eight words are clear and heavy.

Ye Zirui hooked the corner of her mouth and raised a bleak smile, "Then why don't you have a drink? Pay homage to the lost kindness." She picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of wine.

Jin Ran's complexion was very ugly, and his eyes were dark.

Ye Zirui slammed the cup, and the table fell silent. "Is that why you don't want me to be admitted to graduate school? Do you have to make up that reason to post?"

Jin Ran bit the corner of her lips, "If that's not true, why didn't you go to the teacher to explain? The relationship between you is not clean!"

"Then are you clean? You have done so many nasty things. Jinran, you are a poor person, jealousy has blinded you." Ye Zirui said angrily.

"Then you are not pitiful? The person you love doesn't love you." Jin Ran said word by word.

"You really care about us." Ye Zirui said sarcastically, "Brother Chen said back then that we art students must have a righteous mind, otherwise we will never succeed in our dreams. Jinran, do you think you can rely on this How far can small means go?"

Jinran looked at them blankly, "Thank you for your advice, goodbye."

"How did she become like this?" Tang Tan murmured, still unable to believe it.

No one knows how to answer this question.

After the teacher appreciation banquet was over, Tang Tan and Gu Pan came out with the drunken Ye Zirui.The three of them were on the side of the road, and Zhou Runzhi drove over after a while.

"How much did she drink?" Zhou Runzhi asked gently.

Tang Tan replied, "I drank a little too much."

Zhou Runzhi frowned, "I'll take you back."

Gu Pan pulled Tang Tan, and Tang Tan instantly understood what she meant, "Mr. Zhou, we won't go back, please take care of Rui for a while."

Zhou Runzhi helped Ye Zirui into the car and drove away.

Tang Tan said, "Gu Pan, you are too bad."

Gu Pan smiled and wrote a line on the phone, "This must be what Zi Rui thought."

On the last night, it was originally agreed that the three of them would go back to the dormitory together, but Gu Pan couldn't go back.

Chen Shaochen went to look for her, there were still about ten people left in the box, everyone stared at him, there was a brief silence.

"Senior Brother Chen, didn't you and Gu Pan break up?"

"Are you back together?"

Chen Shaochen took Gu Pan's hand, and replied patiently: "A breakup should be considered a breakup if both parties agree. I never agreed, so there is no reunion."

Gu Pan was embarrassed, but only smiled in return.

Someone joked: "Gu Pan is the outstanding graduate of our class! Both career and love have a good harvest!"

The evening wind blows, and the starry sky is bright.

Chen Shaochen suppressed his mood at the moment, took her hand and walked around the campus, and finally stopped by the lake.The water on the lake surface reflects a little bit of fluorescence under the illumination of the light.

Silence, silence.

Gu Pan exhaled, and after a while, she finally raised her hand, "Brother, when did you come back?"

Chen Shaochen turned his eyes away, "I thought you ignored me." How could Gu Pan not hear the dissatisfaction in the words?

It's just that she twitched the corners of her mouth bitterly, and her eyes dimmed a bit.She continued to gesture, "Why are you back?"

Seeing a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, Chen Shaochen said, "I came back a few days ago, and I didn't come to see you because of some delays." Seeing that she was still calm, Chen Shaochen sighed deeply.

The difference of three years seems to be non-existent between them.

Chen Shaochen leaned over to hug her, and put one hand on her waist, "Don't walk away easily in the future, I'm afraid I won't find you in the future." He gently kissed the top of her hair, "Little bread, Three years is too long."

Three years!
Gu Pan was so guilty that he couldn't get more guilty, and he gestured seriously, "From now on, I will always be with you."

On the last night of college life, he was with her.One night, the two walked the roads they had walked countless times. Chen Shaochen said what he wanted to say, and Gu Pan listened quietly.

In the morning light, the two sat on the wooden chair, she leaned on his shoulder and fell into a light sleep.

Chen Shaochen didn't sleep all night, but his energy was surprisingly good.

In the morning, they took Tang Tan to the airport.Tang Tan smiled all the way, "Brother, I'm so happy to see you before I leave. Gu Pan is a bit stupid, please take care of me more in the future."

Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "I will train her well and make her smarter."

When getting out of the car, Tang Qin said with a smile, "Gu Pan, don't do the messy things in the future. After this village, there will be no more shops." She hugged Gu Pan and whispered in her ear, "There will be no more in this world There is a second Chen Shaochen."

Gu Pan typed a line of words on the phone with emotion, "Bon voyage, keep in touch."

Tang Tan nodded again and again, and asked Chen Shaochen for a hug embarrassingly, "Brother, thank you for making me believe in love. Goodbye!" She dragged her luggage and walked into the airport leisurely.

She had no love in her youth, but she witnessed a beautiful love, which was enough.

Gu Pan looked disappointed, the tip of his nose was full of soreness.

Chen Shaochen said quietly, "Three years ago, I also went through the security check to get on the plane."

Gu Pan could only look at the sky innocently, not knowing what to answer, as if everything she answered was her fault.

After graduation, Gu Pan stayed in City B to work.As early as half a year ago, the Song family had prepared a house for Gu Pan. It was close to T University and the transportation was convenient.

Chen Shaochen helped her carry the luggage there, and after everything was done, he sat on the sofa and meditated.

Gu Pan poured him a glass of water.

Chen Shaochen looked up at her, patted the seat beside him, "Sit here, let's chat."

Gu Pan felt that at this moment, he was like a big parent wanting to question a child.

I saw him calmly, "Is the work settled?"

Gu Pan straightened his back, and gestured meticulously, "For a comic company, you don't need to go to the company, just work at home."

Chen Shaochen nodded, as if he was thinking about something, "That's fine too."

Gu Pan had a lot to say in his mind, but he didn't know how to start it.

Chen Shaochen leaned close to her face, his eyes met, and his eyes became darker and darker.Breathing lightly lingered on her face, the familiar voice sounded again, "Let's talk about what happened three years ago when you started messing around and ended up abandoning you."

Gu Pan's eyes tightened.

Chen Shaochen sighed, "Have you learned how to drink yet? Hmm——"

It turns out that the accounts are calculated one by one.

Chen Shaochen's punishment started with a kiss.

Blazing like a tornado, a bit of anger, a bit of love, a bit of helplessness.It seemed that only by being so close could he feel at ease.

After the kiss was over, he leaned on her body, his eyes fluttered, and he said hoarsely, "It's unfamiliar!"

Gu Pan's face flushed red.

"I'll give you a chance to practice again." She was wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts, and Chen Shaochen's hands stuck to her waist, directly touching her skin.

He looked at her deeply, as if he was giving someone a chance to redeem himself.

Gu Pan gritted his teeth and rushed forward, as he said, he was indeed a lot unfamiliar.His teeth knocked so hard that he let out a muffled grunt, and in the end he turned his back on the customer, "Open your mouth—"

The long-lost warmth spread like wildfire.

His strength is getting tighter and tighter, wishing to make up for all the years of separation.He hugged her, and she didn't know that his hands were shaking, "How have you been these few years?"

Gu Pan was silent for a while, gestured, "What about you?"

Chen Shaochen looked at her bewilderedly, "Not good—" How could it be good?At that time, I walked so unwillingly. "In addition to studying, I just study, and I want to come back soon."

Gu Pan looked at his hands, smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? Isn't it accompanied by a beautiful woman?"

Chen Shaochen was taken aback for a moment, and then his smile deepened, "Where did you see what?"

Gu Pan glanced away and didn't answer him.

Chen Shaochen moved his body, "Is it the photo sent by Xixi? That girl is her classmate, and they just took a photo together."

Gu Pan pursed her lips, and she gestured slowly, "Actually, I know." She even thought that it would be great if he could become boyfriend and girlfriend with that girl.

Although she will be sad, she will also be blessed.It's just that she always knew that he wouldn't.

There was never a shred of doubt between them.

The phone rang, and Chen Shaochen answered the phone. He simply said a few words, "Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, he squinted his eyes at her, and said to her unhurriedly, "It's my mother."
