Give you a lifetime of love

Chapter 23 She Won't Forgive You Easily

The wedding was brought forward, and at Wen Ruyan's request, it was held on New Year's Eve. The joy of the New Year was strong, and the Gu family was brightly lit. Wen Ruyan was wearing a snow-white wedding dress and was sitting in the bedroom waiting for the groom to pick her up.

And the groom sat in the study with an absent-minded expression.

Today was his day of great joy, but he couldn't be happier, as if the person who got married today was not him, and he even felt numb in his heart, as if he had completed some mission.

Holding the wedding ring in his hand, he suddenly remembered that she personally put it on him when he married Shi Sheng. When he thought of Shi Sheng, the man felt an unknown temperature in his heart.

It was as if that woman named Shi Sheng could bring him waves.

He sat on the sofa silently, and suddenly wanted to call that woman named Shi Sheng.

Just as he picked up his phone, a call came in.

The note is Shenger.

Seeing this name, the man froze for a moment.

How could she suddenly think of calling him?
He pressed the answer button with trembling fingers, put it next to his ear, and was about to call Sheng'er softly, when he cried heart-rendingly: "Gu Tingchen, Sheng'er is gone in my home!"

Gu Tingchen was taken aback, "What does it mean that it's gone?"

If it's gone, how can it be gone at home?

The voice on the phone was neither familiar nor painful.

Gu Tingchen's heart sank, always feeling that something terrible happened.

"Sheng'er has passed away."

The phone fell to the ground suddenly...

Gu Tingchen hurried to Shi's house and saw only one woman.

He happened to know that person.

Ji Nuan, Shi Sheng's best friend.

And what about Shi Sheng?

Lying lifelessly on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, her face was pale, and there were shallow scars on her cheeks.

He had never seen her without makeup, and she was younger than he imagined.

Like a carefree little girl.

She was originally a little girl...

Gu Tingchen walked up to her trembling and knelt down, holding her tightly in his arms.

The posture of kneeling is too frightening, as if afraid of losing something.

This is what Wen Ruyan saw when she arrived in a hurry.

The whole body trembled, holding the woman motionless, as if in trance.

At this moment, she knew that her wedding was in shambles.

She turned and exited, just in time to see the man beside her.

He has the same face as the man he loves.

It's just that his name is Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi is Gu Tingchen's older brother.

His eyes also seemed to be in a trance.

He approached and picked up the card beside Shi Sheng.

Only two simple sentences.

"Little girl, why do you keep following me?"

"Because... I like you."

Because I like it...

Gu Lanzhi knew her intentions a long time ago, but he didn't care much about her when she was a child.

Fast forward many years, after the concert that night, he did not expect that she would be looking for him all the time.

Seeing her bewildered look, he still couldn't bear it.

He appeared in her world and sent her back to Shi's house.

Even if she recognized him as her younger brother Gu Tingchen.

Speaking of which, he had seen her once.

In that school building.

It was raining that day.

He is upstairs and she is downstairs.

He clearly felt her grief.

He knew she was crying.

She stubbornly said that she did not cry.

The rain drenched her makeup, and he saw that immature face.

Just like back then, pure and immature.

But above the makeup, she is so charming.

And he is also his brother's ex-wife.

He suddenly understood that this little girl loved the wrong person from beginning to end.

He took him for Gu Tingchen.

So she married him without hesitation.

He put the card on the bed and turned to leave.

For some reason, Gu Lanzhi remembered that year again.

She asked him if he could play the street where the wind lived for her.

He said that he would play it in class tomorrow.

She didn't show up that day, but he was sure she heard it.

So for so many years, no matter which concert, the street where Feng lives is the song he must play. Even he himself doesn't know why, maybe it is to respond to the little girl's love.

Gu Lanzhi closed his eyes, his usually indifferent heart began to feel turbulent.

What is the wetness on the face?

Are you crying?
This is why?

For that little girl who loved the wrong person?

……

Shi Sheng's funeral was on New Year's Eve. Gu Tingchen stood in front of her grave in a black orthodox suit. Many people present were mourning for this young woman who held power at a young age but disappeared.

At this moment, Gu Tingchen's heart was also full of sadness,
It was hard for him to accept that the woman Shi Sheng really didn't exist in the world.

Gu Tingchen was about to collapse, and suddenly knelt down in front of the tombstone, looking at the smiling woman on the tombstone with a gentle face, feeling annoyed.

He suddenly began to blame her for not telling him anything.

Blame her for everything.

Blame her for not blaming him when she left.

She even smiled and wished him a happy wedding!

"Mr. Gu."

Suddenly someone called him.

He raised his head in a daze and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He heard him say calmly: "I am Miss Shi's lawyer. She made a will with me more than two months ago. All the shares of the Shi family were transferred to you, and she left you a will."

Gu Tingchen took the suicide note, only ten short words——

Tingchen, I hope you will get your wish in this life.

Her suicide note only had this sentence.

Gu Tingchen suddenly broke down and cried, how could she be so cruel?

With his hurt to her, he tried his best to wish him every possible way.

He would rather she blame him and she hate him than forgive him so easily.

Lawyer Chen said again: "Miss Shi has a last wish."

Gu Tingchen's grief was uncontrollable, Lawyer Chen sighed and said, "Miss Shi hopes that on the day she leaves, you can personally send her off and play her favorite piano piece, the street where Feng lives."

After finishing speaking, Gu Tingchen looked up at Lawyer Chen in shock, "What did you say?"

"Miss Shi wants to hear you play the street where the wind lives for her."

He never played the piano...

Gu Tingchen's eyes suddenly looked at Gu Lanzhi, who was indifferent, with fear.

He was wearing a black coat with an indifferent expression, and beside him was a piano of extraordinary value.

Gu Tingchen asked with a trembling voice, "You already knew?"

"Well, I'm the one the little girl likes."

Gu Lanzhi stared fixedly at the half-closed coffin. The little girl was only exposed below the neck, her body was extremely thin, and there was a mole on her ankle. She was a bit unlike her, because he had just seen her a while ago. She doesn't look like this, and her skin is a little rough.

She has always been exquisite and beautiful, and she has never been like this.
Gu Lanzhi was puzzled in his heart, but because he couldn't see the face, he suppressed the confusion in his heart, and then he noticed that the little girl was wearing plain white clothes at this time.

He remembered what she was wearing when he first noticed her.

I didn't expect her to remember it all the time.

Hidden in the heart, firmly remember all the little things.

Wearing it again on the day of death is like going back to the past.

So stubbornly and secretly liking a stranger who doesn't even know his name.

Gu Lanzhi felt pity suddenly in his heart, he should have told her her name back then.

This will avoid mistakes.

Even if he doesn't love her, according to his character, he won't hurt her.

In this way, she will be safe, smiling brightly and worry-free.

little girl...

Gu Tingchen thought of the card she left beside her when she died.

"Little girl, why do you keep following me?"

"Because... I like you."

No wonder his mother called before and asked, "Where did Sheng Er find your brother's scarf for the snowman?"

He didn't pay much attention then, and ended up missing huge pieces of information.

Some time ago, he specifically asked the assistant for her whereabouts and learned that she was at school.

The assistant said: "She is a temporary piano teacher at Wucheng University."

Before hearing this sentence, he never knew she could play the piano.

He rushed over in a hurry, just in time for her performance.

That song is the street where the wind lives.

He stood at the door listening fascinatedly, and heard a student ask her why she was crying.

She smiled gently and said, "That's the teacher's little secret."

Now he finally understands that his secret is Gu Lanzhi.

It's just that she mistook Gu Tingchen and fell in love with him for many years without hesitation.

Even on the day of divorce, she was looking forward to him.

She asked him if he could have a relationship.

She wanted to trade Shi's family and divorce in exchange for self-fulfillment.

But he rejected her at the time, and even then she chose to let him go.

What is the meaning of the street where the wind lives to her?
Another point is that the door lock codes in her house are all 1227.

He realized now that 1227 is Gu Lanzhi's birthday.

Although they are twins, it was December 12th because he came one day later.

And his elder brother Gu Lanzhi's birthday is December 12th.

To put it another way, is it true that all the passwords she set, whether it is door locks, bank cards or computer lock screens, or even more and more passwords that require passwords are all this number?

Thinking of this, Gu Tingchen was going crazy.

In fact, Gu Tingchen had misunderstood this point, December 12th was the time when Shi Sheng got to know him.

It's just that it happened to be Gu Lanzhi's 22nd birthday that day.

Gu Tingchen really broke down, everything became ironic and ridiculous in an instant.

He never thought that the love he enjoys unscrupulously is actually his dove occupying the magpie's nest! ! !

And Shi Sheng didn't know that he loved the wrong person until his death!
Sad and soothing piano music rang in my ears.

The tune is too familiar, he just heard her play it not long ago.

The street where the wind lives.

It was Gu Lanzhi who was sending her away in the way she wanted.

Gu Tingchen felt that there was nothing more ironic than this moment.

A photo of a teenager playing the piano was suddenly placed in front of the grave.

Gu Tingchen looked at the woman beside him in astonishment.

Ji Nuan's voice was clear and shallow: "I found this in Sheng'er's room."

That photo, that person, is definitely Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Tingchen's sadness suddenly spread throughout his heart, and his body was extremely numb.

It turned out that her stubbornness and love were all Gu Lanzhi's.

Even her Shi family should not belong to him.

And all the little warmth she got when she was alive was all given by Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Tingchen suddenly thought of himself...

What about yourself?
A bug exists.

And this mistake directly led to her death.

Uterine cancer...

He gave it to her with his own hands.

"Sheng'er, you are so cruel."

Standing beside Gu Tingchen, Ji Nuan was hesitating at his current state, wondering whether to tell Gu Tingchen the truth, but the woman in the coffin was actually...
But she also promised Chu Xing to keep Shi Sheng's whereabouts secret.

In fact, Ji Nuan has always hated Gu Tingchen for sending her to prison, but when she saw the man in grief at this moment, she began to feel sorry for him again. After all, on the road of love, who dares to say that she is right?
Gu Tingchen made a mistake, the mistake was that he didn't see his own intention clearly.

Shi Sheng was also wrong, he loved the wrong person.

But after so many years, when did Shi Sheng's love not the man in front of him?
Ji Nuan doesn't understand many questions, but she thinks that Shi Sheng is in love with Gu Tingchen.

Thinking of this, Ji Nuan said slowly, "Gu Tingchen."

The man ignored him, Ji Nuan squatted down and whispered something in his ear.

In an instant, the man's pupils were filled with ecstasy and lost and recovered, but panicked.

Too many emotions mixed together are hard to describe, Gu Tingchen felt his heart beating to explode, he looked at Ji Nuan anxiously, as if grasping at the last straw and asked: "You didn't lie to me?"

Ji Nuan reminded with a smile: "She won't forgive you easily."
