i like you for many years

Chapter 5
Whether the answer is yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore.Injuries are past injuries.

He responded with a "got it" sign.

Everyone was shocked, except Ye Qi herself.

Guo Feng heard her confession, shook the beer bottle, and stumbled to her.She thought that he must be half sober, but he pretended to be drunk, and such actions were enough to explain his answer.

She looked at the night sky, unwilling to look at him again.It was because she was afraid that if she took one more look at it, even if it was just one look, she would cry loudly.

Seven years is a reincarnation, some couples break up, some lovers fall in love, and some men and women confess.And in the seventh year between her and him, it seems that there is no fate to get even a hug.Ye Qi thought.

She tried to stand up calmly, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something.

But greeted him with an unprepared hug.

Tightly, without any space, she was in his warm embrace, smelling his half-drunk and half-awake breath.

She opened her mouth again, trying to speak.

I want to say more sweet words to him, I want to recall to him the secrets she has never told him over the years, I want to kiss his cheek, and let her experience the plot of those cheesy idol dramas... We are not good friend?sorry.His voice is so small that only she can hear it, happy graduation.

And in the surrounding air, there are only screams, only envy, and only blessings.No one understands her heart at this moment.She was lifted to the highest point by him, and then dropped heavily.

Don't cry, let's have a good time tonight.I will accompany you.

Everyone thought he accepted her, but she was the only one who knew what he said when he was coaxed by everyone to send her home after midnight.

After graduation, they should be scattered in different universities.

No one will know, don't worry.

What he said was that he was willing to accompany her in this drama for the sake of his status as a "good friend" who had existed for many years.Anyway, no one will know about her love.

No one cares where they go.

No one knows.

Ye Qi and him both stood under the streetlight, she watched him leave.From a distance, she couldn't help shouting his name again, Guo Feng!Guo Feng!I really—like you—choked up the last three words, and she burst into tears.

Why is the ending of the story so bleak, no fairy tales, no surprises, no awkwardness, no pretend "I don't like you", nothing, nothing.

No, I will meet you who turned back and ran towards me again.

A long time later, Ye Qi read a short novel on Sina Weibo, and she still remembered the general content: she accompanied him to the places he liked to go, she shared his favorite food, and she loved his friends.Over the years, she actually didn't spend a single day of her own life. Until the day of separation, she was relieved at the end of her grief.Passionate love is like a honeymoon, you are happy because you have something in your heart, but falling in love is also like a holiday, you are alone, you want to laugh and cry, it is all your own account.She is tired of relying on others for love.

Looking back suddenly after [-] kilometers
photograph forever
I can see the forest disappearing into nothingness

I can't take pictures of you, I became friends
see that skyscraper
I can't photograph where we broke up
The silk that can't shoot tears
——Eason Chan "Sputnik"

He always told her to come to me if she needed anything.

Many years later, Ah Bao discovered that this is the most beautiful promise in the world.

Suddenly looking back at [-] kilometers, photographed forever

In the summer of 2009, Ah Bao rented a two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs of Hangzhou, and then recruited a joint renter online.On the first night after the news was released, a girl called her cell phone and said she wanted to see the house.Abao received her.

It was a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a short student haircut, and her eyes were crooked when she smiled. The girl asked her cautiously, if I want to live here, can I move in today?
A Bao looked at her, nodded and said yes.

The girl happily paid the deposit as if she had received an amnesty order, and then said that she would go to a classmate's house not far away to move her luggage.Sure enough, after a while, the girl came back, carrying two big boxes of things by herself, and a huge backpack.

Ah Bao took one of the boxes for her, and suddenly remembered himself five years ago.

The same is true for Ah Bao that year, wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt, sneakers, and no makeup.Because I didn't want to live in the noisy dormitory of the school, I insisted on moving out.

The difference is that that year, Qingchu was by her side.

Qingchu helped her solve the problem of relocating her luggage, and she graciously treated him to a meal.

But time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has already been five springs, summers, autumns and winters.

On the summer vacation when Ah Bao graduated from elementary school, Gu Xicheng, who was three years older than her, moved in next door to her house.

That day, Ah Bao went out to buy popsicles as usual, and Gu Xicheng happened to be riding a bicycle far away home.She saw his car parked not far away. He took off his sun hat and strode into the house.

The two didn't talk, but Ah Bao still remembered his handsome running shoes and orange peaked cap.

Later, the adults of the two families became acquainted, and they often visited each other, or had dinner together.Ah Bao saw Gu Xicheng more and more often. When the adults were chatting, Gu Xicheng would take her to the study to play.

There is a newly installed computer in Gu Xicheng's house, which looks very cool.A Bao begged him for a long time before he decided to teach her how to play.

The first stand-alone game that Gu Xicheng taught Ah Bao to play was "Swordsman Love 2".After many years, Ah Bao recalled the original scene again, but only remembered Gu Xicheng guarding her side, watching her control the protagonist to walk and run in the game, and talk to everyone she met.She still remembered that the hero's name was Feiyun, and he had always liked a girl named Ruoxue for a long time.If Xue got lost, he searched all the way.

She seemed to be reading a martial arts novel and couldn't wait to know the ending.

And only when encountering an ambush, Gu Xicheng has a place to use his skills.He can always manipulate the mouse quickly, repelling those wolves, people, puppets, and so on.

But before the game was finished, Ah Bao went home to catch up on a week's vacation homework, and when he went to play with Gu Xicheng again, he found that he had already changed to another game disc.

Abao asked which junior high school Gu Xicheng attended, and then she passed the entrance examination smoothly.But she was slow-witted, and she didn't realize that the distance between him and her was exactly three years until she went to Gu Xicheng to announce the good news.He has been admitted to the best high school, which is far away from their home.

Gu Xicheng told her that in a few days, he will go to the school to go through the enrollment procedures and start his dormitory life.

Abao pouted and asked him, then can't you play with me in the future?
Gu Xicheng nodded.

Abao pulled him, insisting that he take him to eat delicious food.The "Tooth Itching" barbecue in the small town is the most famous. Ah Bao ate so much in one go that his stomach turned into a ball.She asked Gu Xicheng, when will you come back?Gu Xicheng patted her on the head, smiled and did not speak.

The sun was shining brightly, and Ah Bao drank several glasses of soda.

She probably didn't expect that Gu Xicheng really didn't show up for a long time after that.According to his parents, because the school is close to his aunt's house, he basically lives with his aunt during the holidays, and even moves the computer there to play.

Every time A Bao goes to eat barbecue, he will think of him.

Until three years later, Qingchu appeared.

That year's Abao still followed Gu Xicheng, and got into the high school he had attended.

Perhaps at that time, she didn't have too many other thoughts in her heart, she was just used to taking Gu Xicheng as her goal, and she walked all the way in his direction.

To talk about the difference, it's just that there is a small voice in my heart saying that Ah Bao really wants to see Gu Xicheng again.

It's a pity that when she came to the road he walked by and sat by the flower bed where he used to sit, she only heard Qingchu's voice on the radio.He is the new head of the radio station. Although he is at the same level as Ah Bao, he is so outstanding that his brilliance cannot be concealed.Ah Bao noticed that he had listened to his program several times, and his voice was indeed very good, but she had never seen him.

Until the event of the radio station invited Po.

It seems to be a composition competition, but A Bao's casually written prose was selected, and she was invited to read it to everyone in person.Abao happily went there with the idea of ​​being able to see the style of the stationmaster.The souvenir of that event was a can of iced black tea, but Ah Bao couldn't help but unscrew it and drank it all before the show started.The thin and tall boy beside him looked at her with a smile, and stuffed another bottle for her.

That's Qingchu right.

He has dimples when he smiles, his hair is shaved very short, his eyebrows are thick, and his angular face still makes people feel very close.

After Ah Bao finished reading the manuscript, she returned to the classroom with two empty bottles in her arms. Before she left, she heard Qingchu shouting behind her, "Hey, you drank all of my bottle, remember me."

Cheapskate.Ah Bao turned his head and said with bared teeth and claws.

Goodbye to Qingchu at the school store.

In fact, it was less than an hour since the last time we met.

The reason is that Ah Bao came back to the classroom and began to fiddle with two bottles on a whim. She accidentally saw the winning rules above, so she unscrewed the cap casually and took a look.

I was so lucky that there really was a "one more bottle"!
Ah Bao regained her spirits all of a sudden, grabbed the bottle cap and walked downstairs to the small shop. On the way, she was lucky enough to run into Qingchu who had just left the show.

She blurted out, what a coincidence.

Qingchu laughed.Asked where she was going in a hurry, she thought for a while, and finally told him that the iced tea you gave me was a prize, and I have another bottle, why don't I buy you a drink, it's repaying you.

OK.Qingchu took it readily, and she couldn't help but pouted, a little regretful that she gave up her own black tea to others.But Qingchu continued to ask, you have no activities after school in the afternoon, right?How about we go to the movies together.

A Bao's heart roared, and she was about to ask him, "Isn't it too straightforward to confess your confession", but Qingchu added that it was actually an agreement with his classmates, but he had something to do at the last moment. Not going again.I happened to run into you and asked if you were free.

Po gave him a suspicious look.

It's not a romance movie, it's a new comedy movie, okay?Not to be outdone, Qingchu whitened her. As soon as she heard the title of the film, she immediately regained her spirits, looked him up and down, and felt that it was impossible for him to fall in love with her at first sight.I agreed.

Then go change your black tea and wait for me at the school gate after school!He seemed to have forgotten that black tea already belonged to him, and he left after speaking with a smile.

Thinking of the lost and recovered black tea, Ah Bao's mood suddenly brightened.

On the way to the cinema, Qingchu bought a big bag of snacks while walking.This somewhat made Ah Bao feel like "on a thief ship". He asked her all the way what she liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat. There was a little girl selling flowers, and he couldn't refuse, so he bought a stuffed flower. into her hand.

Ah Bao really felt that the progress was a little fast.

After all, before today, apart from hearing the boy's voice on the radio, she knew nothing about him.She couldn't help asking him, did you really buy the movie tickets?Isn't it strange that two boys go to the cinema to watch a movie together?

It's not a boy, it's a girl. My sister is in the same class as me.Qingchu took it for granted.

oh.Ah Bao seemed to have finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

Don't be so nervous, I've read what you wrote before, your name appeared in the city magazine several times during the composition competition in junior high school.Holding popcorn and potato chips in his arms, Qingchu tilted his head and said.

Ah Bao nodded, unexpectedly I was quite popular.

After entering the cinema, Ah Bao realized that the movie shown was not the one he had told her about before.Abao glanced over angrily, and Qingchu said cautiously, maybe I made a mistake, I didn't choose the right one when I bought the ticket... Forget it, the movie has already started.Ah Bao said.

Yeah, eating popcorn is still fun.Qingchu answered.

She glanced at his profile from the corner of her eye, and suddenly missed Gu Xicheng a little.

I don't know if he is okay now?After going to college, will he go to the movies with the girl he likes?

Abao has not seen him for a long time, including his parents who rarely come back to live. I heard from neighbors that their family bought two houses in the past two years, and this one has been put on hold.

She suddenly wanted to call Gu Xicheng.

I have to admit that sometimes you want to see someone, especially someone, and you will suddenly realize your wish and meet him.

Perhaps this is the so-called power of determination.

In short, when Ah Bao really wanted to see Gu Xicheng this weekend, but it was neither summer vacation nor National Day or May Day, Gu Xicheng came back.

He was carrying a large orange bag and stood at the door to open it.When Ah Bao heard the doorbell, she was still drowsy and drowsy, but her nerves tensed up instantly. She jumped out of bed, as if she had a premonition, and carefully opened the curtains.

It's really Gu Xicheng!

She looked at him through the window, he was taller, darker, wearing a free and easy sportswear, refreshing and sunny.He was alone, so she guessed if he came back to get something.

Ah Bao quickly changed into his favorite white dress, took a deep breath in the room, and opened the door.

She called his name and tried to smile at him, hoping he would recognize her.After all, nearly four years have passed, and Ah Bao feels that he should have grown up a lot.

When Gu Xicheng saw her, he had an expression of "ah, it's you". He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't call her name.

Bao suddenly became depressed.

But it didn't take long before she happily declared her family again.She asked him as if remembering something, is the CD of that game still there?She still doesn't know how the story ends.

Gu Xicheng seemed to have thought for a long time before he remembered that there was such a thing as "Swordsman Love 2".

He smiled apologetically and said, he probably couldn't find it.

And looking at A Bao's disappointed eyes, he said in a good temper, isn't it just a game, don't worry about it, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go eat together, I happen to be hungry too.

Bao nodded excitedly.

In a trance, she realized with a startled awakening that the three words that she cared about the most all this time turned out to be "Gu Xicheng".To express it in the most common words, she should like him.

Secretly, but has always liked him.

Gu Xicheng took A Bao to eat smoothies, and told her about his college life.He said that he sneaked back to pick up some old books this time because the university is not strictly controlled and he can spend a lot of time freely.When he described the school environment, he still exaggeratedly said, if you saw Po, you would definitely like it.

Abao then asked, are your school scores high?Is it difficult?If I pass the exam, will you take me around to play?
Gu Xicheng always had a good temper, patted her hair dotingly, and said, definitely.If you pass the exam, just come and join me!
She will never forget his righteous look.

Ah Bao told herself like an oath that wherever he was, she would go.

Then if I pass the exam, you will have time to play "Swordsman" with me... Before I finished speaking, Gu Xicheng seemed to understand it by heart, and then he continued, and I will definitely accompany you to pass the level when the time comes, satisfied up?

Ah Bao was stunned for a moment, feeling the warmth on his face, so he nodded all the time, wishing he could lower his head under the table.

Gu Xicheng smiled.

Not long after, he got up and said he was leaving. He took out his cell phone and wanted to leave a call for A Bao.It was only then that Ah Bao realized that she had completely forgotten her mobile phone, so she asked him to write the number on her palm.When the tip of the pen passed across his palm, Ah Bao's face became even redder.
