Unforgettable first love: warmth stays in the left atrium

Chapter 2 Seems to be an old friend

Old man from the previous life, you who forget your worries, have you ever remembered

In the few seconds that Shengxia was horrified, Xu Yihui had already stepped out of the shadows, stepped forward and stepped directly in front of her.

"Axia, it's me, Yihui."

He spoke again, leaning slightly to meet Sheng Xia's completely unbelievable gaze, so gentle, even with bits and pieces of excitement.The light downstairs was gloomy, but the smile on Xu Yihui's face was unexpectedly clearly outlined.In the past, Sheng Xia loved his smile the most, it was always as warm and warm as the spring breeze blowing on his face, it seemed that even his eyes could smile.

But now, the living Xu Yihui standing in front of Midsummer, except for being a little more mature, is as warm as before.

"Axia," Xu Yihui couldn't help but speak again seeing Shengxia's dumbfounded look, his soft voice was full of suppressed excitement, "Don't think it's unbelievable...it's really me, Xu Yihui."

His fingers slowly caressed her cheeks, rubbing against her cheeks, just like before.At that time, whenever Sheng Xia played a little temper, he would rub her cheeks with his fingers like this, the itchy touch made Sheng Xia unable to hold back her laughter no matter how dissatisfied she was.

After a long time, as long as a century had passed, Sheng Xia finally opened his lips slightly, murmured several times without making a sound, and finally broke through the quiet air with a choked sob: "Yihui...is it really you?" Hui?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Yihui stretched out his arms and took Sheng Xia into his arms.The real temperature came from the chest, and finally it was no longer the air that I couldn't catch when I dreamed back at midnight every night.

Xu Yihui only felt that his chest was aching from happiness at the moment.

"They said, you will never come back again... I never believed it, but in the end I had to believe it, thinking that you really would never come back." The choking turned into sobs, and she fell on Xu Yihui's shoulder and suppressed Weeping in a low voice, but clasped his hands so tightly, as if confirming that he was real.

Sheng Xia always remembered that night four years ago, and she hadn't closed her eyes since she received the call.At eleven o'clock, the door of the dormitory building was already locked. She knocked on the door of the dormitory auntie madly, not paying attention to what the auntie said, but ran out desperately.She remembered the flickering lights along the way, the strong wind howling in through the open window of the taxi, the pale corridors and the pungent disinfectant that made her almost cry when she was running in the hospital smell.At the end of the memory, there are three blood-red words "under operation" that are always lit on the door.

"I'm sorry..." She clung tightly, and Xu Yihui hugged even tighter.With regret in his eyes, Xu Yihui didn't hold back his tenderness at all, and murmured in Sheng Xia's ear: "I'm sorry A Xia, I kept you waiting for too long."

Crying and crying, she laughed again, as if returning to that chaotic night, she became abnormal because of the impact.Tears flowed down and soaked into Xu Yihui's clothes, burning Xu Yihui's chest, but there was a smile on Sheng Xia's mouth: "It's good to be alive, Yihui, I'm relieved that you are still alive... Really."

"The injury was too serious at that time. After a day of treatment but no progress at all, my parents sent me to a private hospital in the United States overnight. Axia!" Xu Yihui carefully held up Shengxia's face, "I knew I should have done it sooner. I came to look for you, but Yihui, who is standing in front of you now, has spent more than two years recovering before finally being no different from ordinary people."

Her heart tightened, he is such a pain-sensitive person.

Gently wiping away the tears on Sheng Xia's face with soft fingertips, Xu Yihui smiled warmly and firmly:
"Axia, since I'm back, I will never miss you this time."

Hearing Xu Yihui's words, Sheng Xia suddenly raised his eyes, startled and startled.

the next day.Xihe Guild Hall.

This is the place where Gu Yingning often takes midsummer to bathe.The ancient wooden door cuts off the connection with the outside world. In the misty Tangchi, it is the same as before, only Gu Yingning and Shengxia are there.

With both arms propped on the stone slab outside the soup pool, the heat dampened Gu Yingning's temple hair, and water beads dripped down in strings.If it was usual, midsummer would have passed by long ago, but today she leaned against the pool and lost her mind.

Last night seemed like a dream, a dream four years late.Four years ago, she had already believed what other people said, thinking that Xu Yihui was really taken away forever by that car accident.But last night, the living Xu Yihui standing in front of her made her thank God so devoutly from the bottom of her heart for the first time.Once, Xu Yihui gave her such good memories, it was her who slanted the moonlight to Xiao Chuan Zhuhu's bedside.After a long time, although I still feel a little sad when I think about it, in the end, the bright moonlight has condensed into a white bead, dimming the brilliance in the corner of the years.

Therefore, when Xu Yihui said "I will never miss you again", Sheng Xia couldn't calm down the shock in his heart until now.Perhaps more, it is the guilt that can no longer respond.

However, in the eyes of people around him, Sheng Xia's ecstasy may be another interpretation.

Gu Yingning squinted her eyes, then picked up a handful of water, watched the water drain from the crevice between her fingers, and said calmly: "What's wrong with you today, you don't feel well?"

Suddenly returning to her senses, Sheng Xia was dazed for a second before lowering her eyelids: "Maybe it's been soaked for too long."

Withdrawing her arms propped on the stone slab, Gu Yingning slowly approached Sheng Xia, who was one arm away, and put her palm on her shoulder casually: "Have all the electronic wedding invitations been sent out yesterday?"

Sheng Xia was taken aback—the shock was so great last night that she forgot about it!
Feeling the sudden stiffness of the person under his palm, Gu Yingning narrowed his eyes for a moment, paused for a moment and asked: "Why, haven't you posted yet?"

Sheng Xia knew that her abnormality today was too obvious, not to mention that she didn't want Gu Yingning to know that Xu Yihui was actually still alive and had come back, she was afraid that he would think wildly.

So he took the towel, and Sheng Xia avoided it and said lightly: "I'll send it when I get back."

She curled up her blue hair and walked towards the exit, Gu Yingning looked at Sheng Xia's back with hard eyes.

Coming out of the Xihe Guild Hall, Jiang Tan was waiting at the door with that wooden face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.After taking the things in Sheng Xia's hands, Jiang Tan just opened the car door when he suddenly heard a smiling voice not far behind him: "A Xia, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Yihui?
Sheng Xia turned her head abruptly, standing beside the pillar by the door in a white shirt, who else could it be if it wasn't Xu Yihui?Her heart was pounding in an instant, and she turned her head to look at Gu Yingning in a panic, not daring to imagine his face at all—sure enough, after a short pause, Gu Yingning's face turned livid in an instant.

However, Xu Yihui had already walked up to them, patted Sheng Xia on the shoulder and said, "Ah Xia, are you stunned by the surprise?"

"Yihui, you..." Sheng Xia pretended to be calm after his expression settled down several times, "Why are you here?"

"Probably because we have a good understanding." He said with a smile.

If he could bear it any longer, it would definitely not be Gu Yingning.Gently dusting it off, as if to wipe off the dust that just fell on Sheng Xia's shoulders, Gu Yingning straightened her face, raised her head slightly, and said calmly, "Sheng Xia, why don't you introduce me?"

Sheng Xia raised her eyes, and saw that Gu Yingning was so calm and unfazed.She knew that he must have guessed Xu Yihui's identity early in the morning, but now she deliberately asked politely, even though she didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, Sheng Xia could only follow his words and continued: "Yingning, this It's Xu Yihui, mine..." She bit her lips, "My ex-boyfriend." Even though she didn't want Gu Yingning to think about it, Sheng Xia understood that if she didn't tell the truth, there would be real storms in the future.

Gu Yingning seemed very satisfied with Shengxia's frankness, his face was slightly pale, and he stretched out his right hand to Xu Yihui:

"So you are Mr. Xu. I heard Sheng Xia mention it earlier. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm her fiancé Gu Yingning."

"Mr. Gu." After shaking hands very briefly, Xu Yihui smiled, "A-Xia told me your good news last night, it seems that I am still late!"

He sighed softly, and there was infinite emotion between his brows.

The corner of Gu Yingning's mouth curled up slightly: "It's not too late, it's just right to have a wedding wine."

Even a man as immaculate as Jiang Tan was aware of the tension between the two, and Sheng Xia held his breath even more.If you don't leave again, I'm afraid there will be a bigger undercurrent.

Smiling lightly, Sheng Xia said to Xu Yihui: "Yihui, if something happens, can we get together some other day?"

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day." With such a gentle smile, he asked, "Is today not good?"

Sheng Xia took a deep breath and tried her best to make her mind function as usual.There are some words and some things, and it is bound to be clear with Xu Yihui.The day after tomorrow is the day when she and Gu Yingning will get married. If she misses the opportunity in full view today, depending on Yingning's temperament, how can she be free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Sheng Xia nodded: "That's fine, let's do it today." She turned to Gu Yingning again, those dark eyes were catching her tightly like a falcon.He pursed his lips tightly, Sheng Xia knew that he must have been extremely unhappy, so he slowed down his tone, softly took Gu Yingning's right arm and rubbed it softly: "Yingning, I'll be back in a while."

The sound of "A Xia", "Yi Hui" and the gentle and warm smile on Xu Yihui's face put Gu Yingning on the verge of patience, but Midsummer agreed to have a small gathering with Xu Yihui for a while. The word "you" left with a heavy expression.

The mechanical "beep - beep -" sounded until the end, until a cold female voice came from the other end, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered", Gu Yingning's face was pale, and the hand holding the phone wanted to crush it .

This is the fifth time he has called Sheng Xia's home phone. From the time they met at 05:30 in the afternoon to now at 09:30, four hours have passed, but Sheng Xia has not yet arrived home.All of a sudden, all the possibilities invaded Gu Yingning's mind, even the worst ones that he feared the most.

Xu Yihui.

For four years, he had always thought that Xu Yihui was an extinct volcano that would never erupt again, but he had miscalculated. He was actually an indeterminate bomb. Flat land.

At that time, if it wasn't for Xu Yihui, even if he wanted to come to Shengxia, he wouldn't take the initiative to approach him.

At that time, Sheng Xia had just stepped into the workplace not long ago, because he had accumulated a lot of work experience when he was a student, and Pudi Industrial was short of people at that time, so Sheng Xia became the employee of Pudi Industrial almost smoothly. Secretary to the President.Gu Zitang is indeed a very good boss. He takes good care of Sheng Xia, a newcomer in the workplace, and has always been amiable.

That banquet was the third banquet that Sheng Xia attended with Gu Zitang. With the experience of the previous two times, Sheng Xia was naturally much more sophisticated.Decent smile, elegant etiquette, well-tailored water-blue evening dress with dots of broken diamonds on the chest, Midsummer hides herself in the mask of intertwined cups of toasts, as Gu Zitang toasts with the bosses of various companies .

Gu's group is the host, so the style is naturally extraordinary.The fountain outside the venue was almost the size of a music square, and the retro Roman columns stood at the door, while the decoration inside the venue was even more beautiful, which made Midsummer still amazed.The soft light projected by the rhinestone chandelier really is a feast of clothes and shadows.

Under the carved railings on the second floor, it is facing the central stage at the innermost part of the venue.Suddenly a well-dressed young lady stepped onto the stage, and the entire banquet hall gradually fell silent.

After adjusting the microphone, Sheng Xia heard the lady speak in a melodious voice: "Welcome all bosses and company representatives to attend the banquet held by Gu's Group in their busy schedule," she bowed gracefully, and then continued, "Next, I invite Mr. Gu Yingning, the general manager of our Gu Group, to give a speech."

It turned out that on the right side of the stage, there was a tall and tall silhouette waiting beside him.Charcoal black suit, tall and straight figure, three-dimensional and deep profile.Sheng Xia raised the champagne to her mouth and was about to take a sip, but the moment she caught sight of the man from the corner of her eye, she suddenly stopped.

Gu Yingning walked up to the stage with calm steps, with a dignified appearance.There is clearly no expression on Qingjun's face, but there is a different kind of temperament, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.He looked around, and then his voice was low and magnetic: "The Gu's Group's foundation in F City is still young, and today's achievements are inseparable from the support of everyone present. Here, I only represent the Gu's Group, Thank you all." As he spoke, Gu Yingning raised the wine glass in his hand, the champagne was bright in color.

With a slight smile, Gu Yingning said, "Cheers!"

Gu Yingning's affairs are actually very busy today, but today's banquet was scheduled a month ago, so he just arrived after a long journey, and after the cutscene, he has to rush to the next one.After exchanging pleasantries along the way, Gu Yingning walked from the inside to the gate of the venue politely and distantly, and was about to go down the stairs when she suddenly heard a thin and trembling voice behind her: "Yihui...Is Yihui you?"

Gu Yingning didn't pay attention to it at first, and wanted to move forward, but after hearing the sound of high-heeled shoes behind him, a slender figure walked around in front of him, and his soft and boneless hands grabbed him tightly. the corner of his clothes.In the dark night, her eyes were astonishingly bright, she opened them wide and asked him: "Yihui, are you back?"

She didn't wait for Gu Yingning to answer, two lines of tears had already flowed out of her eyes.

It was only then that Gu Yingning noticed the woman standing in front of her, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and the water blue fitted dress made her skin fairer.And the brilliance in the scissors' pupils was so blazing that it seemed like a drowning man had finally grasped the last straw to save his life.

The staff around were in a hurry to drag Sheng Xia away after a short pause, but they were stopped by Gu Yingning's raised hand.

Looking down at the midsummer below the two steps, Gu Yingning was condescending: "Just now, what did you say?"

"Yihui..." At that time, Midsummer had lost all thinking ability, such as the difference in height and voice, the only thing she could see was this face—this face, which was too similar to Xu Yihui.More than half a year ago, a car accident caused everyone to say that Xu Yihui was dead, but she still didn't believe it.

Eyes full of expectation and cautiousness, Sheng Xia choked with sobs: "You really are not dead... Since you are still alive, Yihui, why didn't you come to me?"

Squinting her eyes slightly, Gu Yingning didn't say a word.There were more and more people watching, and whispers filled the entire doorway, but only Gu Yingning was reflected in Sheng Xia's eyes.

After a long silence, Gu Yingning finally spoke up: "Miss, I think you have misunderstood the person."

Sheng Xia shivered violently, his face turned from red to white, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed to extinguished from the previous blazing.As if something had disappeared forever, Sheng Xia suddenly regained consciousness a lot, and the hand that was holding on to the corner of Gu Yingning's clothes was finally loosened weakly.

She said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry." Then she hid in the night and fled in a hurry, leaving all the onlookers, including Gu Yingning, a hurried and sad back.

Song Manru, who was the well-dressed woman who came on stage just now, looked at Shengxia's slender back and curled her lips, and said coquettishly to Gu Yingning who was beside her: "General manager, girls these days are really unscrupulous in order to get the top position... This kind of nonsense If you have the face to use all the methods, hey, you won't do things in a serious way!"

Gu Yingning was noncommittal, and ignored her, until he and Jiang Tan were the only ones in the car, before he said calmly, "Do you know her?"

It didn't take a second for Jiang Tan to realize who the "she" Gu Yingning was referring to, and hurriedly said, "It should be Pudi Industrial's secretary to the president, Sheng Xia."

Gu Yingning closed her eyes, loosened her tie, unbuttoned the first two buttons of her shirt, pinched her eyebrows again, and then continued: "Look up her information." After a pause, "Especially the name she said, Yihui."

Jiang Tan naturally complied: "Yes."

The scene of the first encounter is still playing in her mind, Gu Yingning has already raised her hand and put on her coat.Just as he was about to go out, the butler suddenly came quickly, holding a kraft paper envelope in his hand, and said respectfully:
"Master, there is a letter from you."

Gu Yingning hesitated, turned over the front and back of it without a single handwriting, and asked in a deep voice: "Who sent it?" The housekeeper shook his head: "Just now I only heard the electric bell ring, and when I went out to open the door, I only saw this letter stuffed in the box. In the crack of the door."

Tear open the seal, but inside are a few photos.The two protagonists in the photo, one is a woman he is very familiar with, and the other's face is as similar as his own.Gu Yingning flipped through the photos one by one, although he was still moody, but the careful housekeeper found that the knuckles of his fingers holding the photos had already turned white, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.Without further words, the housekeeper retreated silently.

Slowly putting the photo on the coffee table in the living room, the expression in Gu Yingning's eyes changed a few times, and finally dialed out the string of cell phone numbers that he knew so well.For the sixth time, Gu Yingning called the landline at Sheng Xia's home, but no one answered the sixth time.

After pressing the "End" button, her chest suddenly rose and fell violently. Gu Yingning was so angry that she threw her phone to the ground!He was panting heavily, but he heard the butler go and come back: "Master, Miss Sheng is here."

Gu Yingning raised her head, closed her eyes and tried to adjust her breathing, and then smiled angrily:

"It came just fine."

While speaking, Sheng Xia had already walked in front of Gu Yingning.Before he could speak, she was the first to ask, "Gu Yingning, how do you explain it?"
