001
Once Xihe's mountain road was repaired, Shuyan started her summer job again.

Fortunately, it will be over in a few days, and Ning Zechuan came here only once, and did not order her to do this or that. Shu Yan remembered what Gong Yu said, so she did not sit in her exclusive small room. Instead of sitting on a low stool, he sat down on the stone platform.

Looking at Ning Zechuan's pupils tightening in fear, she felt a little funny and also a little distressed, so she simply lay back and said, "Master, this stone platform is really comfortable and warm. I slept well on it last time." gone."

As expected, after a brief shock, Ning Zechuan said two words indifferently: "Go down."

Shu Yan turned sideways, stared into his beautiful eyes, and suddenly put on a serious expression: "Master, it's okay."

Ning Zechuan's ink-like pupils swayed slightly, did not move, and looked at her quietly. Shu Yan stretched out her hand and put it on his hand on his lap. Seeing that he hadn't pulled away, Shu Yan slowly stretched her brows and eyes : "Master, we have held hands twice. Look, I am fine. I am healthy, and I can assure you that I will live to be 80 years old...Master, just because you are sick does not mean You are a virus, you are not wrong, what is wrong are those who wear tinted glasses, what they think is a virus is actually their fuss.”

The stone platform is neither big nor small, too spacious for one person, but just right for two people, as if it should have been like this since it was excavated from the deep mountain, born for two people.

Ning Zechuan looked at her for a long, long time, and finally, he spoke lightly, with a hoarse voice, as if separated by a long time and space: "When I was not born, my mother wanted me to die. After I was born, everyone was thinking of me." Why didn't I die, the meaning of my coming to this world is that no one wants me to live well."

After a long time, Ning Zechuan didn't know why he said such words to Shu Yan back then. Maybe it was because the sun was too intoxicating that day, or maybe her eyes were too firm and sincere. No matter what, these things are hidden in the There was finally nowhere to hide the words that had been on his mind for 18 years.

Shu Yan felt that her nose was sore. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ning Zechuan was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and had a life experience that others could not envy, but she didn't think he was happy at all, because she had never been on his face. Saw a smile, never.

"It's not like this, young master, I hope you live well, and I will guard you in the future."

This was the greatest ambition of her life, and it took all her strength and courage in her life.

At that time, Ning Zechuan didn't answer, he just withdrew his hand lightly, but didn't drive her off the stone platform again.

This is already good for Shu Yan. If he didn't speak, it means he won't refuse. No matter how much she wants, she doesn't expect too much. After all, how can a heart that has been frozen for so many years soften so easily? of.

But she is not in a hurry, anyway, she is still young, and he is not old either.

At the end of the summer of that year, cicadas hadn't stopped yet, and the treetops hugged the leaves tightly. A 16-year-old girl was lying sideways on the stone platform, looking at the young man who was reading quietly, with the purest smile on her face.

When Gu Taozhi came to deliver the medicine, she saw such a scene. She stood at the door and did not go in. The hand holding the tray was tightly clenched, revealing her white knuckles.

Shu Yan, it's Shu Yan again!
That night when Shu Yan went back, she saw Gu Taozhi. She was sitting at the table talking to her mother. Shu Yan was surprised and delighted, and took her hand and asked, "Sister Taozi, why are you here?"

Gu Taozhi smiled and pointed upstairs: "I have been transferred to Ning's house, so I will live upstairs."

Mother said: "I'll go up and wash the fruit that Taozi brought, you guys chat first."

After her mother left, Shu Yan pulled Gu Taozhi to sit down: "That's great, Sister Taozi, I can see you often in the future."

Gu Taozhi patted her hand, and asked with a smile: "What about you, you're used to living here, young master...do you still make things difficult for you and ask you to do a lot of work?"

Shu Yan shyly shook her head: "No, I misunderstood the young master before, but the young master is actually very kind to me."

Gu Taozhi nodded, his eyes were far-reaching, and he sighed: "Mr. Jiang and the young master are two fathers and sons after all, they are both the same, too much kindness."

Shu Yan blinked, and said "ah" for no reason.

"I didn't tell you, did I?" Gu Taozhi looked at the surprise on Shu Yan's face and continued slowly, "Mr. Jiang was from the same town as my father before he entered Zuo Ning's house. Mr. Jiang was an orphan. I often went to my father's house for dinner, he just remembered this kindness, so later, after my parents passed away, Mr. Jiang took me to Jiangzhou and gave me good arrangements. Without Mr. Jiang, I might Now she is still a village girl who grew up in a poor mountain valley and has never even seen a building. Shu Yan, I fell in love with you at first sight because you and I are really similar. We are all because of the merits accumulated by our father. Only today is good, we must cherish blessings."

There was too much information in these words, and it was not until a long time after Gu Taozhi left that Shu Yan digested all of them, but her heart was depressed.

She knew that at first Ning Zechuan hated her because she didn't cry at his father's funeral, which made him think she was a person without father-daughter ties. After that, his attitude towards her gradually changed.

Because his father was his doctor, he had pulled him back from death several times. He respected her father and cared about this kindness. That's why he loved Wujiwu and treated her well?

She couldn't help thinking, if she wasn't her father's daughter, and she didn't have such a relationship with him, wouldn't he even give her an extra look?
The answer, she is yes.

Mr. Jiang applied for low-rent housing for them. While waiting for the housing, the mother and daughter continued to live in Ning's house.Mr. Jiang was too enthusiastic and threatened to repay his kindness, not to mention that his mother never knew people who refused.Shortly thereafter, Mr. Jiang donated several teaching buildings to transfer the sponsored school-age children to the best Jiaxin Middle School in Jiangzhou, including Shu Yan.

At the beginning of autumn, the school began to prepare for the sports meeting. One day of physical education class, Shu Yan, as the life monitor, was sent to the warehouse to bring back a lot of sports equipment to the playground. When Shu Yan walked down a flight of stairs, she suddenly heard a familiar mellow bass mixed in, reciting "Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xingxing".

"The road is obstructed and long, so we can know when we meet?"

The voice was very soft, as though separated by a short distance, even though so many voices were intertwined, it still entered her ears clearly and hit her heart.

Shu Yan stopped suddenly, and the quiet and dark corridor seemed to be quiet for a moment. In her whole world, the only sound was the clear and long voice of the boy reading aloud.She took a few steps back, walked towards the place where the sound came from, leaned forward slightly, and saw the crowds of people on the other side of the transparent glass, Ning Zechuan's tall figure stood in it, holding a book expressionlessly, walking slowly While thinking, there were several amazing and adoring gazes around, and one came from outside the window in the setting sun in the afternoon.

"Thinking of you makes you old, and the years are suddenly too late."

His profile is soft and beautiful, and his voice is so low that it seems to be whispering across the ages. He suddenly turned his head and looked out of the window. The moment he met those cold eyes, Shu Yan was startled, like a romantic man in ancient times peeping. When a young lady from a certain family was discovered, it was already early autumn, but the wind blowing in the air was hotter than midsummer.

Her heart beat like a drum, she bowed her head and left in a hurry.

Following Ning Zechuan's line of sight, Gong Yu caught her back, was stunned, then turned her head, and saw that Ning Zechuan's face was not as calm as before, but a little more gloomy.

Gong Yu thought that Ning Zechuan had been deliberately avoiding Shuyan since the beginning of school, and that such abnormal behavior was connected with this moment, and he understood it all at once.

Originally, Ning Zechuan won a grand slam in Jiaxin's entrance examination and proposed to go directly to the third year of high school. Even the old-fashioned principal agreed, but he didn't expect Mr. Jiang to refuse, saying that there is no precedent and he can't set a precedent. He read from high school.Because of this matter, Ning Zechuan even fell out with his husband. He didn't know why Ning Zechuan, who didn't care where he went to study, suddenly cared about this trivial matter. Now he finally understands. Yan also wants to come to Jiaxin to study, and she doesn't want to make her a sophomore in high school look down on herself.

So, avoid it, hide it.

But I still ran into it.

In the evening, Gong Yu went to find Shu Yan, dragged her to a hiding place, and said bluntly, "What do you think about the fact that the young master is in the first grade?"

Shu Yan blinked, "Ah".

Gong Yu slapped his head, how could he have forgotten that this girl is blind, probably didn't even look at the class number: "Our young master is not in good health, Mr. Ning once invited a teacher to come back to teach one-on-one, Mr. Ning passed away Afterwards, the young master was seriously ill and stayed in the hospital all the time. After being discharged from the hospital this year, he was admitted to Jiaxin by himself, with full marks in all subjects."

"Self-study? So good?" Shu Yan was dumbfounded. The reason why Jiaxin Middle School became the best high school in Jiangzhou was linked to his annual enrollment rate of 98%. She also tried to take part in their entrance exam, which was comparable to Mathematical Olympiad, but she didn't even pass the pass. If it wasn't for Mr. Jiang, she wouldn't have become a student of Jiaxin.

Gong Yu paused, then patted her on the shoulder: "Our young master might not think you would think so." He added, "The one standing in the corridor this afternoon is you, right? Our young master looked a little pale when he saw it. Hurt."

Gong Yu didn't need to say much, Shu Yan understood what he meant.

Her young master, I'm afraid she is on the edge of a dead end again. After getting along for so long, she already has a general understanding of Ning Zechuan. She looks cold, but she is actually just a child who is not good at expressing. There is also some inferiority complex.This creates a vicious circle. If others want to understand him, they have to guess, and if he wants to understand others, he has to guess.

It's just that his heart is a wall, and he buried himself too deep. If she didn't climb over that wall, how would he know how good he is in her heart.

002
The servants of the Ning family held a summary meeting at eight o'clock every night. This night, in the empty hall, Shu Yan dialed the internal line in Ning Zechuan's room.

"Hey?"

His voice today was extremely deep, and he could hear that he was in a bad mood, Shu Yan paused, and there was a little flattering in his voice: "Master, it's me."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, Ning Zechuan didn't answer, nor hung up, Shu Yan said sincerely: "I heard that you got full marks in all subjects in the entrance exam, but I didn't pass it back then, I went to inquire about it, Jiaxin established a school You are the first one to get full marks in all subjects, young master, why are you so good?"

After a while of silence, there was finally a voice on the other end of the phone: "Did Gongyu tell you?"

"Well, it's not that you don't know, he loves to show off you so much, but you are so powerful, I would also love to show off." Shu Yan thought that she was the same as Gong Yu, and said with her head held high, "Our young master" I couldn't help giggling.

"Are you flattering me?" Ning Zechuan asked softly, his voice calmed down a bit.

Shu Yan was startled, as if she was indeed doing such a thing, so she admitted openly: "That's right."

"understood."

Ning Zechuan's voice was clear and calm, I don't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to hear him laughing in a low voice, when she was a little dazed, there was the sound of the door opening and footsteps upstairs, it should be the end of the meeting, Shu Yan covered the microphone Lowered the volume: "Ning Zechuan."

"Ah."

"Someone is here, I'll hang up, good night."

"Good night."

Days passed by without any hassle, and it was winter in the blink of an eye. The weather was suddenly cold, and the whole city began to provide heating. Ning’s house installed a self-heating system. It was about to turn cold, so it was turned on. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor was huge. , the only thing that hasn't changed is the residence of Shu Yan's mother and daughter, an old garage that was temporarily emptied.

When we moved in, the house was fully equipped with home appliances and spacious. Except for the poor lighting, we didn’t feel bad about it. However, when it got cold, the unheated underground garage was extremely cold and colder.

The first snow fell silently, Shu Yan woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, and saw 08:12 on the alarm clock.It was dawn early, she was taken aback, and looked up, the white snow covered the only transom window in the garage.

Shu Yan is not afraid of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, the only thing she fears is the cold.

Shu Yan's hometown is in the south near the sea, where it never snows.

When she first came to Jiangzhou in the first year, she was so excited when she saw the snow that she wanted to roll in the snow. After Ou Zichen led her to play all the northern children's winter fun, she fell ill. Repeatedly, until spring, it will be all right.

In the second year, she didn't dare to play anymore. She just stood in the snow wrapped in a thick coat and cotton shoes, watching Ou Zichen build a snowman and have a snowball fight.

In the winter of the third year, except on the way to and from school, she refused to take a step outside, and passed the winter safely.

This year, Shu Yan wanted to emulate last year, but was bent by fate.

"Master's 24th birthday, you girls are careful, help me think about it, what should I give him this year?"

That's what Gongyu told her.

She only listened to the first sentence, and after that, her mind went blank, and she repeated "Master's birthday on the 24th".

She participated in his first birthday, what should I give him?
She couldn't afford the expensive one, and he wasn't bad at all. After thinking about it, she thought of the two crickets she had lost, and had an idea in her mind.

After searching for a weekend, I went to buy bamboo strips early in the morning. There were almost no bamboo strips sold in the market in winter. Someone suggested that she go to a nearby village to collect bamboo strips. She finally found someone who was willing to go to the mountains to cut bamboo strips, and followed. Once, I cut and cut now, and picked out bamboo strips of moderate hardness and softness. When I returned home, it was already dark.Shu Yan changed the clothes soaked in sweat and snow particles, and wrapped herself up with a quilt, but she still had a headache from the cold, Shu Yan secretly felt bad, she knew it was a precursor to her frostbite.

On Christmas Eve, Shu Yan finished weaving the bamboo cricket with great difficulty. She was dizzy, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t lift her eyes, and she called "Mom" a few times, but no one answered. Then she remembered that her mother was going to church tonight. .

She looked at the bamboo cricket in her hand, and climbed off the bed. As soon as she walked outside the door, she was top-heavy, her eyes were spinning, and she fell headlong into the snow.

"Damn it! Shu Yan, what are you doing here?"

Gong Yu was sent by Ning Zechuan to deliver apples to Shu Yan. From a distance, she saw a familiar person lying on the snowy ground, patted her chest and walked a few steps with lingering fear, only to realize that something was wrong.The girl on the snow was motionless.

He threw the apple and ran over, Shu Yan was chilled all over, and her forehead was terribly hot.

Gongyu said "reliable", picked up Shu Yan and ran away.

In the spacious room with gray tones, the heating was as strong as in summer. The girl sleeping on the bed was extremely red, with a wet towel on her forehead, and she seemed to be in pain, and groaned slightly.

Ning Zechuan stood aside, frowning and watching.

"Her room doesn't have heating, it's freezing cold." Gong Yu said to him.

"Who arranged it?"

Gong Yu grinned: "Your mother."

Ning Zechuan stopped talking, and after a while, he said to Gongyu, "Go back first."

Gongyu walked to the door and ran back, hugged him, and stuffed something into his arms: "Happy birthday, Xiao Chuan." Smiling, she turned and left.

Ning Zechuan looked at the two magazines titled "PLAY BOY" that Gong Yu stuffed in his arms, and then suddenly remembered that today is his birthday.If Gong Yu didn't remember it, he would have forgotten it long ago.

"Ning Zechuan..."

The girl's soft and weak voice sounded.

Ning Zechuan looked over and saw her eyes narrowed, not sure if she was awake or fainted.She saw Shu Yan raised her hand, spread her palm towards him, forced the corners of her mouth to smile, and said, "Happy birthday." After saying this, her hand loosened softly.

The thing he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.

Ning Zechuan's pupils shook a little, he picked it up, it was a pendant, two bamboo crickets facing each other, with a buckle on the bottom, he knew it was made by herself, she is very good at weaving bamboo strips.

He felt a warm current spreading in his heart, rushing up along the blood vessels, and his nose was a little sore. He tried to approach her, sat down gently beside her, and changed the towel covering her forehead, his voice was a little astringent : "Thank you, I like it very much."

Shu Yan smiled, smiled and laughed, suddenly fell silent, and when she spoke again, her voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm actually very jealous of you, always have been."

"Dad is always at work, always with you in the hospital, no time to accompany me to the playground, no time to accompany me to do handicrafts, no time to attend parent-teacher meetings."

"A few days before my father was killed, I had an argument with him."

"I told him, being your daughter is better than being your patient."

"I actually just wanted him to look at me one more time."

When people are sick, their hearts are mostly fragile. The weakness suppressed by strength when they are awake is also magnified at this moment, and finally occupies the body, clamoring to confide.

Ning Zechuan reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and gently stroked her hair: "I know."

What he got from Shu Xiaoguang became Shu Xiaoguang's debt to Shu Yan.She seemed to live happier than him, but it turned out that he was as lonely as her.

Shu Yan closed her eyes and turned her head to one side, only her trembling eyelashes could be seen.

"Zechuan, I miss Dad so much."

"I miss him too."

The next day Shuyan woke up in a strange and warm room, turned her head, and saw Ning Zechuan sitting by the window reading a book, the gray transparent window screen made him erratic.Shu Yan's head still hurts, and she doesn't know if the confiding and the gentle Ning Zechuan last night were her dreams or real.

Ning Zechuan turned a page of the book, didn't look up, but knew she was awake: "From today onwards, you come and give me tutoring."

Just as Shu Yan was about to say something, her mother came in with a bowl of soup: "Yanyan, are you awake? Well, how can I say hello? It's snowing so hard, and it's not that I don't know that I'm going to die when I catch the cold. Sick, and ran to the mountains to get some bamboo..."

Shu Yan blushed, glanced at Ning Zechuan, and complained a little: "Mom..."

The mother stopped talking and greeted Ning Zechuan warmly: "Xiaochuan, come and have some soup, auntie boiled it herself."

Ning Zechuan shook his head: "No." Then he continued to read.

No one knew that at that moment, Ning Zechuan had classified Shu Yan as the same as Gong Yu, his only two family members left in this world.

003
Until sitting at the same table with Ning Zechuan, Shu Yan still felt that it was unreal. I heard that Ning Zechuan proposed to Mr. Jiang to let her come to tutor him.Mr. Jiang also didn't know his son well. As far as Ning Zechuan's level was concerned, he gave her tutoring.

She glanced at the "Microeconomics" in Ning Zechuan's hand, sighed, lowered her head and continued to solve the boring trigonometric functions.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard someone open the door. Shu Yan looked up and saw Gong Yu rushing in with two cups in hand, put them on the table, and jumped by her ears: "Young Master, I'm burning to death, miss me!" The beautiful boy in the blooming season turned out to be the nanny of the two of your patients, he is about to drink, and looking at me makes me upset."

"Thank you." Shu Yan took the cup, held it in her hands, looked at the monkey-like Gong Yu and smiled, she was still sick, she laughed anxiously, and coughed.

Ning Zechuan raised his head from the book, his gaze passed over the coughing Shu Yan, and landed on the exaggerated Gong Yu, and frowned: "If you keep making noise, go out."

Gong Yu looked sad: "Master, why did you forget the old love when you have a new love?"

Shu Yan smiled casually, "Who is the new love and who is the old love?"

As soon as the words came out, there was a moment of silence, and after a while, one fell to the ground laughing, one blushed, and the other was expressionless.

Since Shu Yan started tutoring for Ning Zechuan, she spent almost every day in a room with heating, and went to and from school with Ning's car, which also turned on the heater.Going to Ning Zechuan after dinner, Shu Yan was so hot that she took off her coat and only wore unlined clothing, and suddenly felt like returning to her hometown.

She and Ning Zechuan talked about her distant hometown: "The seasons are not so distinct there, the summer is very long, and sometimes in December you wear short sleeves, the temperature in winter is moderate, it never snows, and you don't have to wrap yourself up A cotton dumpling, I think it is quite suitable for you to rest, if there is a chance, I will take you to our house to play."

In the end, I glanced at the young man who was concentrating on drawing, not sure if he had listened, pouted in disappointment, took out the exercise book and opened it, only to hear the clear and thin voice of the young man.

"it is good."

Shu Yan raised her head suddenly, her eyes lit up looking at the boy, and she smiled happily.

Ning Zechuan glanced at her expressionlessly, then lowered his head and continued to draw. Shuyan stretched her neck to peek, but he stretched out a finger to her forehead, keeping her at a safe distance.

Shu Yan muttered dejectedly: "Stingy, I can't even take a look at it. Gongyu has seen it all. I also want to see how good your paintings are."

Ning Zechuan said calmly, "You have seen it too."

Shu Yan frowned, knowing that he was talking about Xi He: "How can it be the same?"

Ning Zechuan's talent in art was only recently discovered by her. At that time, when Gongyu showed off Ning Zechuan's painting to his Saint Seiya and her, she knew that Ning Zechuan had a very high talent for art.Xihe's design was the manuscript he drew on paper when he was 13 years old. Mr. Jiang, who had just bought Xihe, saw it and used it to repair it into Xihe's current appearance.

So, she also went to ask Ning Zechuan for a picture of Zilong that she liked very much, but was rejected.Ning Zechuan didn't even want to show her the album.

However, the more he was like this, the more curious she became.

In his picture book, what kind of baby is drawn?
On New Year's Eve, the class prepared a program, which ended late, and it was almost ten o'clock when I returned to Ning's house.After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Shu Yan ran towards Ning Zechuan with the book in her arms, and almost bumped into Gong Yu who was holding a box at the door.

Gongyu poked her head out from behind the box: "I'll go there first, the young master is taking a bath, you and him hurry over when you're done."

Shu Yan didn't understand: "Ah? Where are you going?"

Gong Yu has already run far away in a hurry.

Pushing open the door, there was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom. On the desk, Ning Zechuan's baby picture album, which she had coveted for a long time, lay there, as if waving to her.Shu Yan's eyeballs rolled around, tiptoely and lightly opened, and then, she was stunned.

One, two, three...

Halfway through the page, the sound of water suddenly stopped, Shu Yan quickly closed the album, returned to her seat, opened the book and muttered something, pretending to be reciting.

The door of the bathroom was opened, and the water vapor was thick, and the clear-eyed young man in white seemed to be stepping out of the clouds.Shu Yan poked her head out of the book, then quickly lowered her head, and lifted the book slightly to cover her blush.

It's just what is written in this book, "May I be like a star king like a moon, and the night and night stream will be bright and clean."Turning the page casually, it is again, "I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never disappoint you."

"Shu Yan," the other person stretched out a hand to grab the hot book in her hand, Shu Yan was shocked, and heard Ning Zechuan say flatly, "Let's go."

She raised her head cautiously: "Where are you going?"

Ning Zechuan didn't answer, he went out of the room but didn't go downstairs, but went all the way up to the rooftop.Gongyu stood in a large snow field, with all kinds of fireworks behind her.

Shu Yan immediately understood that this was the New Year's Eve.

Gong Yu crossed her waist and said dissatisfied: "Did you come here on time? I just got ready here."

Ning Zechuan glanced casually: "Thanks for your hard work."

Shu Yan has already got out from behind him excitedly, looking at the fireworks tubes lined up in a big circle on the ground: "Wow, Gongyu, you made these, I admit now that you are amazing."

This remark made Gongyu very useful, and he handed Shu Yan a booklet, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility: "When I count to seven, you go up and click there."

Shu Yan looked at the direction he pointed, and nodded seriously.

Standing in the snow and waiting for a while, Gongyu raised her wrist and stared at the seconds on the electronic watch: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Shu Yan was about to light the fire with the fire folder, but her wrist was pulled suddenly. Ning Zechuan had already taken the fire folder in her hand, walked a few steps to the side of the fire line, at one point, the long fire snake swayed along the fireworks Put the track ignited.

"Three, two, one!"

The fire snake encountered the first firework tube, and the golden light shot straight into the sky, blooming gorgeous flowers in the dark night.

Almost at the same time, the sky in the distance also burst into blossoming fireworks.

A century seems so long, but it is only a blink of an eye from the last second to the new century.

In the blink of an eye, they passed a century.

Gong Yu stood on the edge of the roof and shouted at the top of her voice, "The twentieth century, goodbye!"

Shu Yan made a triangle with her hands in front of her lips: "21st Century, hello!"

The fireworks lit up the sky, and the night turned into day. When she turned her head, she saw something even more amazing than this. The young man raised his head and smiled with his thin lips. Under this smile, all the beauty became the background.

Shu Yan didn't know where the courage came from, she stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve, the boy lowered his head, looking at the girl's eyes with a slight apology.

"Sawakawa, I'm sorry."

I peeked at your album for me, but...

"I like those paintings very much." Shu Yan pursed her lips. On a moonless night, her eyes were bent into two crescents. Ear, "You painted me beautifully."

Golden fireworks exploded above his head, maybe the explosion was too loud, he didn't hear what she said, he turned his head calmly and looked at the sparks in the sky, he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, but he didn't break free and grab him Sleeve hands.

Shu Yan lowered her eyes, looking at the hand with clear bones under the sleeve, the deeper the smile, the hotter the heart.

Standing behind the rooftop door, where the shadows blocked, Gu Taozhi looked at the two people surrounded by fireworks from a distance, and bit his lip with hatred.When she came out of that poor mountain, she vowed never to go back again, and she never wanted to live a day without food and clothing.When she came to Jiangzhou, Mr. Jiang did give her a different life, but that was not enough. When Xihe watched those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen spend her living expenses for the past year with just a pot of tea, she felt like a master. Life, she used to be just a fantasy, flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, in reality, the probability is so small that it can be ignored.

Until one day she saw Shu Yan, watched her approach that indifferent young man step by step, and finally even held his hand.

She suddenly realized, and then she was dissatisfied. Shuyan was just relying on the kindness that the Ning family owed her father, and she was the same in this regard. She even had more bargaining chips for transfusing life-saving blood for him.

If Shu Yan can do it, she can definitely do it too, and the seat next to that young man who was born with gold must belong to her, Gu Taozhi.

It was the last day of the twentieth century, and people all over the world celebrated it.Those who are looking at this sky now will probably only experience this cross-century in their lifetime.At this moment, the person who is by my side is precious across the years.

At that time, everyone would have thought that the person who would be standing next to him at this second would be with him for the rest of his life.

At that time, who would have thought that the power of fate lies in its surprise, such as meeting or separation.

004
Shu Yan learned from the servant that the Ning family generally does not have festivals, and that Mr. and Mrs. Madam will go to various banquets during the festivals.So, on New Year's Eve, Shu Yan called Ning Zechuan and asked him to come over for dinner.

"What kind of dumplings do you like to eat? Leek? Celery? Shepherd's purse?"

"Do you want to put green onions? Can you eat spicy food?"

Like an old lady, she asked a bunch of detailed questions.

Ning Zechuan was a little moved. People's wishes and information are all conveyed through words. He doesn't like to talk, and he is not good at expressing. After a long time, everyone thinks that he doesn't care about anything. No one has ever asked him what he wants. what.

Only Shu Yan.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zechuan started to make sand paintings again. In the small bottle as big as the palm of his hand, he used a wooden spoon as a brush and sand as ink. He engraved the fireworks on the day that crossed the century in this way. He wants to give Shu Yan a New Year's gift.

After the appointed time passed, a large group of people had already gathered in the old garage, including a few servants, Gong Peilin, and Jiang Bozhou, talking and laughing, it was extremely lively.

Ning Zechuan was a little startled standing by the door, Shu Yan knew that he likes to be quiet, rubbed his hands and ran over to apologize and said, "It was my mother who called you and Gongyu... you go to my room, only Gongyu Now, I'll bring you the dumplings."

Ning Zechuan nodded, put the things wrapped in his palm back into his coat pocket, walked into the small room partitioned by wooden boards in the corner of the garage, and closed the door casually.

Shu Yan filled the dumplings and brought them over, just as she was about to open the door, she heard Gong Yu's voice.

"What's the matter with you and Shu Yan? Why do I see something wrong? Today's dumpling meal, she is the only one who guards the pot like an old hen. She insists on leaving the first pot of dumplings to you, and you, Don't think I don't know that you went to your mother to ask her to change Shuyan's room. After being rejected, you used the name of tutoring to make Shuyan feel warmer in winter. Xiao Chuan, did you treat her too well? "

Shu Yan held her breath and remained silent for a few seconds. In the beating heartbeat of a drum, she heard Ning Zechuan's faint voice: "She is Dr. Shu's daughter."

"Boom."

The heart beat violently, and then suddenly stopped, Shu Yan felt a little suffocated, and her chest suddenly felt tight.She put the dumplings at the door, knocked on the door, turned and fled to the kitchen.

She kept repeating Ning Zechuan's words in her heart: she is Dr. Shu's daughter.

She had already guessed that he thought so, but now that he said it himself, it still made her feel overwhelmed.In a daze, his hand trembled, and hot soup splashed on the back of his hand.

"Why are you so careless?" Gu Taozhi quickly grabbed her hand and put it under the cold water pipe, looked at Shu Yan's reddish eyes, "Look at your absent-minded appearance, don't stay here, go Bring me some shepherd's purse from the kitchen upstairs."

Shu Yan said "Oh", and walked out mechanically with her head down. The upstairs that Gu Taozhi said was the first floor of the villa. Most of the servants went home to celebrate the New Year, and the few left were eating dumplings in the underground garage at the moment. Chatting on the Spring Festival Gala, so the lights in the villa were not turned on.

Shu Yan twisted open the door, groped in the dark and walked towards the kitchen. The emergency light was on in the kitchen, so faint that she could barely see it. She was about to open the door when she heard a familiar voice.

"Bo Zhou, listen to me, you can't agree with her..."

"We have tortured each other for so many years. She made this choice to set things right. I... don't want to miss you."

The hand holding the doorknob froze, as if a thunderbolt had exploded on the roof of the sky, Shu Yan bit her lip, pushed the door open a little bit with difficulty, and then her pupils dilated suddenly.

On the other side of the one-finger-wide door, under the white light, a man and a woman embrace each other, like a man and a woman in love.

The woman is her mother.

The man is Mr. Jiang.

She stepped back in disbelief. In the darkness, she tripped over the chair and was about to fall, but was grabbed by someone.

Looking back, Gu Taozhi raised a finger to his lips, shook his head, and then led her out of the villa.

Once outside, Gu Taozhi let go, and Shuyan slipped and fell on the icy snow, trembling all over. After a long time, she looked at Gu Taozhi, and asked in a crying voice, "Sister Taozi, did I misread?" ? How could this happen? What should I do?"

Gu Taozhi sighed, looked at the gate of the villa, and said with difficulty: "You are not mistaken, it is your mother and Mr. Jiang, why did you never tell me that they...know each other?"

Shu Yan shook her head and repeated helplessly: "I don't know, I don't know."

Gu Taozhi turned his head away, and seemed to be talking to himself: "If the young master and madam know about it, what should we do?"

Yes, Ning Zechuan.

Shu Yan was taken aback, if Ning Zechuan knew...

Her mother has a close relationship with Mr. Jiang?When did it start?Luo Meijiao's words were not groundless?She will live in Jiang's house, is it a secret plan of mother and Mr. Jiang?The high-sounding excuses that Mr. Jiang used to convince the public in the past are a big joke in the face of the facts she has seen.

Even she would think so, let alone Ning Zechuan?

She couldn't help imagining what Ning Zechuan would look like after knowing this, the young man's cold and hateful eyes poked two big holes in her spine, piercingly cold.

That night, Shu Yan didn't go back to the underground garage. She stayed in Gu Taozhi's room all night and didn't sleep all night. She was terrified. The picture of her mother and Mr. Jiang hugging each other kept repeating in front of her eyes. It was like a nightmare.

In the world, the most frightening thing is that nightmares come true.

On a cold winter night, Shu Yan covered her head and sobbed in pain.

The next day, Shu Yan wrote a note to her mother, saying that she was going to G City to visit her grandmother whom she hadn't seen for nearly ten years, and asked her and Ning Zechuan to inform her.Then, she left Jiangzhou.

She was afraid, afraid of seeing her mother, and even more afraid of seeing Ning Zechuan, so she chose to escape.

When she left Jiangzhou, she never thought that when she went back, the world would be turned upside down and it would never be the same.

From Jiangzhou to G City, it takes two days and one night by train. After getting off the train, it takes half a day to transfer to a bus to reach Yangyao Town where my grandmother lives.Shu Yan fell asleep all the way on the train, and when she took the bus, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, and could only stare blankly at the scenery outside the window.

When people feel depressed, they go to watch the sunset. The little prince once saw 44 sunsets in one day. On the way from G City to Yangyao Town that day, Shu Yan also saw 44 sunsets.

Arriving at grandma's house in the early hours of the morning, Shu Yan fell asleep on the bed. Grandma took off her coat for her and shook it. A train ticket fell out of her pocket. Grandma stooped to pick it up. On the crumpled train ticket, it read wrote two lines.

"I'm not a rose.

And you are my little prince. "

It has been a month since Shu Yan returned to Jiangzhou.

Back at Ning's house, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was respectfully led to the main house. She looked at the photo of Mr. Jiang and her mother hanging on the wall of the hall, and she was like a lightning strike, unable to move.

When the servant called "Mrs. Jiang" to Shi Manli who came down the stairs to meet her, she fled and ran around.

What are you looking for?

Ning Zechuan wasn't here, Gongyu wasn't here, and even her familiar mother wasn't there.

Finally, she came to the room where Ning Zechuan lived, and pushed open the door. The empty gray room was extremely clean, without any trace of his existence.And Gu Taozhi was standing inside, with a suitcase standing by her feet, holding something in her hand, when she heard the sound, she put the thing back in her pocket, turned her head and looked at her quietly.

Shu Yan ran over and grabbed her hand: "Sister Taozi, where is Ning Zechuan?"

Gu Taozhi gently pulled out his hand, looked at her, and told the cruel truth word by word: "The young master is gone, and he will never come back. Didn't you see that? There is no Mrs. Ning and Young Master Ning in the Ning family." , now there is only Mrs. Jiang, and... Should I call you Miss Jiang or Miss Shu? Shu Yan, you could have persuaded your mother to leave the Ning family the day you found out about your mother's relationship with Mr. Jiang, I thought you would do that I did it, I really didn't expect that you did nothing and repay your kindness? It's all because of you, Ning Zechuan was driven away by you and your mother. This scene of the dove occupying the magpie's nest is really wonderful. "

Shu Yan's legs went limp, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Gu Taozhi gave her a sympathetic look, and walked past her carrying a suitcase.

Shu Yan's head hurt like it was exploding, she couldn't figure it out, she had only been gone for a month, how could everything have changed.

What caused this irreversible result was her cowardice.Gu Taozhi was right, she could have stopped everything, it was her fault, it was all her fault.

She felt that everything was like a dream, but she didn't know which ones were real and which ones were fake.

Is he still having a nightmare?
Or is the past like a dream just an illusion?

The jade-like youth like an ink painting, with trembling eyelashes and slender fingers, is real, she can't make a mistake, how can she make a mistake.

When her mother's voice came, she ran away again, she didn't know where she was going, she was afraid that someone would tell her that this moment was real and the nightmare would come true, so she ran all the way, just wanting to escape from this terrible nightmare.
