Value peace

Chapter 2 Camphor Encounter
When I got home, my younger brother didn't seem to be back, and there was still light in the bedrooms of my stepmother and father.

Gu Xiyan entered the kitchen lightly, ready to pour tea.But the stepmother's high-pitched and excited voice sounded in the room: "... If you don't tell me, then I will tell. It's not like you don't know what's going on now...Xiaobao's girlfriend is pregnant...We are also raising People who have sons and daughters, can they let their daughters have abortions..."

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised, she didn't expect her younger brother who was five years younger than her to be a father soon!
"This, this..." Father's voice was weak, "Aren't you clearly trying to drive her away?"

When the stepmother heard it, her tone became even more indignant: "What do you mean by that... Ever since I married into your family, don't you know how I treat your daughter, don't you know what your daughter is... don't say anything else , There are two bedrooms and one living room in my house. I let Xiyan sleep in one, and let my own son sleep in the living room for ten years... But this time is different, Xiaobao is getting married! We can't afford him a house, No matter what, I have to give him a room to live in..."

Father was silent.

There was a bit of crying in the stepmother's voice: "I have been a good person for so many years, and I still care about these few days... Isn't there really no way?"

Gu Xiyan had already heard it clearly, her face became hot, and a trace of shame also rose in her heart.What the stepmother said makes sense. My father is just an ordinary middle school teacher. The stepmother has already been laid off at home. Now that the price of goods has risen so much, the living expenses that Gu Xiyan gave are simply a drop in the bucket...

Thinking in another way, I may not be able to do better than her!
Gu Xiyan left the house in silence.

But when she left the house, Gu Xiyan had nowhere to go.

She stood in the middle of the road and hesitated for a while, then ran to the supermarket to buy a few cans of beer, sat down by the curb and started drinking.

Usually, Gu Xiyan can be regarded as a person who pays attention to her image, and has received a lot of relevant training in the workplace, but today, for some reason, she always wanted to indulge herself for a while.

After drinking the wine, the things in front of her eyes became a little blurry, Gu Xiyan stumbled to her feet, she didn't know where to go, she didn't want to go home anyway.

Some taxi drivers stopped in front of Gu Xiyan: "Miss, where are you going?"

Gu Xiyan looked at the driver and felt that his brows were simple and honest, so she leaned on the car window and asked him: "Do you know that there is a camphor forest planted with real camphor trees, and when the wind blows, the fragrance will appear and disappear... "

The driver smiled boldly: "That place is the famous Love Forest, why don't you know, get in the car, I'll take you there..."

When Gu Xiyan got into the car, the driver babbled: "...It's not a big deal to lose love... I think the lady is well dressed, she must be a white-collar worker, people like you are so secretive and care about everything In my heart, when I am not happy, I only dare to drink wine and go crazy... Go there to mourn the lost love and take it easy, there is no grass in the world..."

Gu Xiyan looked at the neon lights flashing like shooting stars outside the window, two lines of tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

If her mother was still alive, Gu Xiyan would be like all girls. She would cry loudly when she was broken in love, complain loudly when she was unhappy, and criticize loudly when she was wronged... But Gu Xiyan can't... Maybe, Gu Xiyan Xiyan dare not... She is not someone who really cares about you, how could she be truly sad for you, your crying, what are you doing now, it is just a farce in the eyes of others... Gu Xiyan feels that her situation is very embarrassing People are sad, why bother to let people watch the free 08:30 episode...it will only make me feel more pitiful...

Gu Xiyan returned to the camphor forest again, smelling the unique fragrance of camphor, she felt much better than before.

There were obviously fewer people on the carved bench than when Gu Xiyan first came here. Gu Xiyan scurried around on the path in the forest, trying to find the bench where she and Xiao Lin sat.After turning around in a daze for a few times, I couldn't find Bei at all, and there was no one around me.Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but Gu Xiyan became hot and hot, she found a random bench and sat down impatiently.

Looking up at the sky, she discovered for the first time that the moon is so bright, so bright, so cold...

When was the last time you watched the moon like this?

Gu Xiyan can't remember clearly, life is too busy.No, it's not a reason, it's an excuse.No, just mood!

She lay down on the bench recklessly, looking at the gray-blue sky, smelling the scent of camphor trees, and gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xiyan suddenly woke up.

The surroundings are quiet, even the wind seems to have stopped, and the faint mist surrounds the motionless branches, making no sound.

How did you fall asleep in a place like this?
It seems that drinking can really fuck, if there is something like "Midnight fuck" at this time...

Gu Xiyan was sweating through the skirts of her clothes just thinking about it, she immediately sat up and took out her mobile phone.

I don't know what time it is?

The phone has automatically turned off.

Forget it, even if I stay out all night, I am afraid that no one will be unable to sleep because of it!

Seeing the dark green tree shadows and white mist forming a scene as beautiful as a Chinese static pastel painting, Gu Xiyan felt much better.It is rare in life to have such a peaceful state of mind that allows time to stop, she couldn't help but sat quietly for a while.But those trivial things in life are like little fleas, which just make you uncomfortable.After ten years of living at home, it was time to move out.What the stepmother said is right, they are all raised by their biological parents, and that girl will be her own sister-in-law in the future, and she will be kind to her so that she can meet each other in the future... Although she is not a sibling of the same father and mother, she is always a sister-in-law in this world. The one with the closest blood relationship with me... and moving out to live is not a life-and-death juncture, there is nothing I can't let go of. Many of my colleagues also rent houses outside, and some of them have less income than me...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan's heart that has been a little hesitant finally settled down.She stood up and stretched, then took a deep breath, and secretly cheered herself up before standing up and preparing to go home.

At this moment, a timid voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, sister, please stay!"

Gu Xiyan turned her head.

Behind the bench is a thick camphor tree protruding from behind a young girl's face as white as pear blossoms, her waist-length hair rippling behind her.

Gu Xiyan looked around, there were only the two of them, and she confirmed with a smile: "Are you calling me?"

The girl nodded and walked out from behind the camphor tree.

The girl's facial features were very beautiful, and there was still childishness between her brows, but her pair of big black and white eyes had a domineering look.She arrogantly asked Gu Xiyan: "Who are you and why are you here?"

Gu Xiyan laughed.This girl is very thin and has no curves. Although she is about 1.6 meters tall, she can be seen to be a developing little girl, and she will not be more than 15 years old at most.She was wearing a moon-white silk pajamas with long sleeves and trousers and two-piece lapel. Under the moonlight, she had the unique cocoon light of silk. Neatly formed into small crescent buds...

Seeing Gu Xiyan sizing her up, the girl immediately lowered her face: "What are you looking at?"

How could Gu Xiyan care about a little girl who doesn't know much about the world?She smiled and said, "What's the matter with you?"

The girl bit her delicate lips like peach blossoms, her expression was a little unnatural, and her voice lowered a bit, and said, "I, I lost my way..."

I said, why is there still a single little girl wandering in the woods so late?

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "I'm not very familiar with this place, we all accompany you, how do you think?"

When the little girl heard that Gu Xiyan said that she was willing to walk out of this forest with her, her face showed joy like the first light of dawn, she stepped forward with a smile and took Gu Xiyan's arm, and sighed a long time He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, thanks for meeting you. I've been wandering around in this forest for most of the night... I'm so scared!"

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Although she looks difficult to get along with, she is a little girl after all... and she has a bit of a strong outside taste!
Gu Xiyan led her to choose a random direction and walk along the path.

On the way, the little girl turned her head sideways and asked Gu Xiyan: "Sister, what's your name?" The arrogance appeared in her expression again, destroying her quiet beauty like a white pear flower.Gu Xiyan felt sorry for her, but after thinking about it, they met by chance, why bother with her so much?She introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Gu Xiyan."

"Really?" The little girl jumped up, "My name is Gu Xiyan too!"

Gu Xiyan was really surprised.The name Xiyan has a bit of a literary accent. It is said that when she was pregnant with Xiyan, her mother was obsessed with Qiong Yao's novels. Gu Xiyan has lived to be 25 years old and has never met anyone with the same name as her, let alone a person with the same surname.Gu Xiyan immediately became more affectionate to the little girl in her heart.

The little girl chirped and said: "I was born at dusk, so my father named me Xiyan. I also have an older sister who is about your age, named Chaorong, who was born when the sun was just born. You It’s funny to say this name. I once asked Duanniang why her sister’s name was not Xuri, it’s much better than Chaorong..." At this point, she stopped suddenly and looked at Gu Xiyan with some embarrassment, " Sister, I talk a lot! Duanniang said that we are going to Shengjing soon, we have to look like Miss Gu's, and let me talk less in the future..."

Gu Xiyan herself has a lot of ill-fated fate and is tolerant when things happen, but she likes those little girls with a little willfulness the most, and thinks that this is the imprint of a happy life, because she has something to rely on, because she has never seen dark things... just like A plant grows leaves when it should grow leaves, and blooms when it should bloom, which is a natural growth.So she patted the hand of the girl named Gu Xiyan and her own name and surname, and comforted her: "No, I love to listen to you talk, you are cheerful like a bird, I like it very much."

The little girl looked really happy after hearing Gu Xiyan's words, and her attitude towards Gu Xiyan became more affectionate, she leaned her head on Gu Xiyan's shoulder, and said, "Sister, I like you too. She likes me like this, always meddling with things, sometimes saying that I speak like a child with slurred words, and sometimes saying that I am unsteady when I walk... You don't know, she even invited a singer to teach me a little song I pronounce it, it really pissed me off. Those lowly actors actually asked me to learn from them..."

Gu Xiyan was shocked when she heard that.
