once i loved you

Chapter 4

The cold Mango Shake is made from fresh mangoes. The rich mango taste is mixed with a little astringency, and the taste is authentic and mellow.After Cen Xiao took several sips contentedly, the waiter brought over the wine that Gu Weiye had ordered.

Gu Weiye tilted the bottle, and the pure white wine flowed into the glass along the mouth of the bottle, and the surface of the wine calmed down like a mirror after a slight ripple.He picked up the wine and took a sip before putting it down, with a calm and elegant posture, noticing that she was staring seriously, he smiled and asked her if she wanted to try it too?

Cen Xiao shook her head, "I'm just curious what kind of wine it is?" There is a golden string of English words on the bottle, which should be the name of the wine, but she is not familiar with it.

"The name of the wine is Sauvignon Blanc. It has a refreshing taste, and the taste of northern Thai food is heavy, so I ordered it. It's not a particularly good wine, but it's enough to go with the meal." Gu Weiye paused, looked at her and said, "This wine is still delicious. There is a unique translation."

Cen Xiao retracted his gaze, raised his eyes and asked curiously: "What is it?"

"Sauvignon Blanc." He had a quiet expression, but there was something in his words.

When Cen Xiao realized it, Gu Weiye had asked the waiter to bring a cup.He poured in a small amount and put the cup in front of Cen Xiao, "Girls don't drink too much outside."

Cen Xiao said "Oh", picked up the glass, and realized something was wrong when her lips touched the glass. He was too calm to persuade the wine, and the words "only a little" should not be said by herself ?Why did he seem to be the parent instead, taking it for granted to make decisions for her?

Usually, she hardly drinks at all, and only drinks a little when she attends a gathering of colleagues and is forced by everyone.The wine has always given her the feeling that it is pungent and hard to swallow, and every time she swallows it hard, her throat seems to be on fire.

So for Cen Xiao, who is blind to alcohol, the taste of Sauvignon Blanc is not as wonderful as expected, she can't taste the refreshing feeling that Gu Weiye said at all, she only feels that the temperature of her body is raised by the wine.

He looked at her wrinkled face and laughed dumbly, "Isn't it delicious?"

Cen Xiao shook his head and nodded again.There's no need to lie out of politeness, she and him can't even be called friends, can they?

"Then stop drinking, eat more food, press it, and it will pass soon."

"Mr. Gu, do you have a younger sister at home?" It was obviously the first time he had dinner face to face, yet he seemed to be an elder who had known her for many years, making decisions for her and always pretending to take care of her.

"Why do you ask?"

"It's nothing." Cen Xiao didn't say it bluntly, but changed his words, "I think you seem to be good at taking care of girls."

"So you think I have a younger sister? Or, do you think I'm like an older brother?" Gu Weiye put down the knife and fork in his hand, rested his right hand on the table, and flicked his index finger twice on the table, "But you are wrong, I am the only child .And from childhood to adulthood, among relatives, there is only one cousin who has a close relationship with me."

"Work...aside from talking about it, I actually have very few female friends in my private life, and all of my best friends are men." Seeing that Cen Xiao's expression was wrong, he smiled, and added calmly: "Of course, my sex The orientation is female."

"..."

Cen Xiao was messed up in the wind for the nth time tonight, and they weren't on a blind date!Why did he take the initiative to talk to her about his private life and... sexual orientation.

At this time, Gu Weiye said with a normal expression: "Can I see the photos you took today?"

Quickly going through today's shooting content in his mind, and after confirming that there are no stinky selfies in it, Cen Xiaocai picked up the camera from the chair next to him and handed it to Gu Weiye.

Gu Weiye turned the knob to ON, pressed the screen, and flipped through it one by one.

He looks at the photos, she eats vegetables.The scene is very harmonious.

During the period, Cen Xiao glanced over inadvertently, only to realize that the time Gu Weiye stayed in a photo ranged from a few seconds to tens of seconds.She was secretly surprised that he looked so carefully!
When seeing a certain photo, Gu Weiye frowned and stopped.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and knocked it on the edge of the table so skillfully that one slipped out of the exit.However, when he wanted to ask the waiter for a fire, he realized that Cen Xiao was still sitting opposite him, folded the body of the cigarette with his index and middle fingers, threw it on the table casually, and said "sorry" to her.

Cen Xiao's "It's okay" came to his lips, but because Gu Weiye leaned forward and turned the camera monitor over to show her, she didn't bother to say it.

"You wasted a good piece of work." His tone was full of regret.

Cen Xiao found out that this was a photo she had just taken in a cafe - the protagonists were a foreign couple and their blond-haired young daughter.In the picture, the woman is distressed to help the fallen child to stand up, but the man grabs his arm... His mouth is slightly open, probably trying to persuade his wife not to help.Although the expression on the face of the little girl at the bottom of the screen is distorted by the pain, she rests on the ground with trembling hands, her right knee is about eight or nine centimeters from the ground, and she is obviously about to stand up soon.

I am afraid that the timing is accurate, the expressions of the characters are real and vivid, and the whole picture is full of storytelling. It is an excellent work, but...

"White balance was set completely wrong. Why use 'Shadow' mode when it's already dark and through dark glass, huh?"

Cen Xiao was stunned by the question, and lowered her head to stir the remaining mango smoothie in the glass with a straw. The hand feeling was too muddy and stagnant, and she had to stop, "There is no reason. It can still be corrected.”

"That's right." He didn't return the camera to her, but continued to look down, "No matter how bad it is, you can simply change it to black and white, right?"

Cen Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when her mind was pierced. She defended herself, "Mr. Gu, everyone has their own creative habits."

"It's not a matter of creative habits." He handed back the camera, and opened his lips after a short thought, "Every picture of you is gloomy, I think it should be affected by your mood."

"It's normal." Blinking her eyes twice, she wiped her mouth and stood up, "No one can keep happy after losing their job. Thank you for today's hospitality. I'm full. Take your time."

"If it's because of work, then I'm sorry. If you want, I can offer you a job of the same nature as your previous job as compensation. This is my business card." Gu Weiye took out his business card and folded himself from the bouquet He took out a white rose from his pocket and handed it to Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao glanced at the roses that had lost their thorns, and remembered what he said that white roses represent love, and his earlobes couldn't help but feel hot. He took them all by mistake, said "thank you", and drifted away like a small wind.

Gu Weiye took out his mobile phone, pressed the shortcut button, and the call was connected to Ben immediately.

"It's me. Are you still out there?"

"Then you follow her and make sure she arrives at the residence safely. You don't need to pick me up, yes, I will go back to the hotel by myself. "

After returning to the homestay with so many worries on his mind, Cen Xiao fell asleep in the middle of the night.When I woke up the next day, it was past ten o'clock.

She booked an early flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok tomorrow morning, and today is her last day in Chiang Mai.While I don't want to waste the day, I also don't want to make myself too tired.

After breakfast, she finally accepted the innkeeper's suggestion, went out and stopped a songthaew, and reported her destination to the driver—Chiang Mai University.

Chiang Mai University covers a very large area, and [-]% of the plants, Cen Xiao can't name them.It was almost noon, and there were no groups of students in sight.Compared with school, she thinks this place is more like a tropical botanical garden.

Just in the dry season, red or yellow fallen leaves, lush trees, lush grass, and flowers of various colors can be seen on the campus.She took pictures as she walked, finding everything she saw interesting, and the lens cap of the camera was almost never closed from the beginning to the end.

A light green teaching building caught Cen Xiao's attention, and she circled the building half a circle, during which time

A few students in light-colored clothes passed her, glanced at her and walked away.

Passing through a stairwell, the iron gate happened to be open. Cen Xiao couldn't help but become interested. He climbed the steps about one meter wide to the platform at the turn of the stairs between the first and second floors, holding on to the railing. Looking across.

At this time-

"Hi, what a coincidence..."

Turning around, she saw Gu Weiye standing downstairs wearing a light blue casual shirt and loose jeans, his jaw raised slightly, and he was looking up at her.Since he was standing in a backlit position, countless lights burst out from around him.The radiant client had his hands in his pockets, his expression was relaxed, his eyes were full of idleness, and he was smiling at her in an attitude that was so fascinating that people would not pay for their lives.

After Cen Xiao took a deep breath, he unconsciously raised the camera and pressed the shutter on him.

Gu Weiye came up and spread his right hand in front of her.

She didn't know, so she glanced at the lines on his palm, lost her mind, and assured him, "I will never make it public, please let me keep... this photo."

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean to delete it, I just wanted to see it, is that okay?"

She took pictures without consulting the other party's opinion. It is indeed offensive. Even if the other party is angry and asks to delete it, there is nothing wrong with it. reject.

Cen Xiao turned around honestly, stood on the side with Gu Weiye, called up the photo, and saw that scene again, she was still gasped in amazement.Turning his eyes, he found that the protagonist in the picture was less than [-] centimeters away from him, and when he was close enough to see his long and thick eyelashes clearly, Cen Xiao's heart beat even more joyfully.
