Seven years

Chapter 17 Photos of the student days

Li Yanzhen followed what Mu Xue said and came to the park near the hospital. Gu Yan and Mu Xue were both handsome and beautiful, and she saw them in the crowd at a glance.

"Why are you still using a wheelchair?" If Li Yan really remembered correctly, Gu Yan's injury was mainly on his back.

Gu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that Mu Xue made a big fuss, I said it's nothing serious."

Mu Xue rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not afraid that you will get hurt again, what will you do if you rely on me?"

"Then you will be responsible to me." Gu Yan smiled.

Mu Xue was taken aback, and Li Yanzhen was also taken aback for a second, then she smiled, "I didn't expect that your relationship has reached the point where you can joke with each other."

Mu Xue didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why are you free?"

"Originally, I was going to accompany a client for a day today, but I felt bored. Anyway, my brother was here, so I wanted to come and have a look. Besides, you probably haven't had much rest in the past two days, so I decided to open one for you on my own." A hotel room, let you have a good sleep, let me take care of the hospital here." Li Yanzhen said and put the room card in her hand.

Mu Xue lowered her head to look at the pattern on the room card, remembering the worried expression on her face in the ward last time, and this time she took the initiative to ask Ying to change shifts, she must have unusual feelings for Gu Yan.Mu Xue raised her head to look at her, "I appreciate your kindness, but Gu Yan was injured because of me, I should take care of him, and he's not as tired as you think, the doctor said, he can be discharged after staying for two more days. "

Seeing that they had their own arguments, Gu Yan said, "If you want me to tell you, you should go to sleep, and you should go to work. I am a big man, so I can't handle such a small injury? Mu Xue, don't worry about me. I haven't slept much these two days, and there is still a lot of work waiting for you, what if you are exhausted, just listen to Vice President Li and go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep. "

Mu Xue knew that since Gu Yan said that, she must have asked her to do so, and it was useless for her to be stubborn, "Well...you can call anytime if you have something to do." Then she glanced at Yan Zhen again, and said to her: "The hospital always needs to be taken care of by one person, so I will trouble you."

"Yeah." Yanzhen nodded.

"By the way, it's a bit windy here. I wanted to get a blanket for Gu Yan just now, but I didn't expect you to come. If you still want to stay outside, I'll trouble you to get the blanket. I'll sleep for a while. I'll replace you if I feel like it." After Mu Xue finished explaining the matter, she left with peace of mind.

Although Li Yanzhen wanted to have a chance to be alone with Gu Yan, she couldn't be happy seeing Mu Xue's leaving back.What Mu Xue said just now, whether it was intentional or unintentional, made her feel as if she was just an outsider who broke into the relationship between the two of them.Maybe it was because Mu Xue had a cold personality, so her words were inevitably a bit strong, and Gu Yan was indeed injured because of her, plus they were working partners, yes, it should be like this.Li Yanzhen felt a little uneasy for no reason, and secretly comforted herself in her heart.

"Vice President Li, you don't have to stay here if you have other things to do." Seeing her in a daze, Gu Yan thought she was thinking about work.

Li Yanzhen came back to her senses and smiled wryly: "I'm not in the company now, so you don't have to call me Vice President Li every time, do you?"

Gu Yan noticed that she was a little displeased, and said cautiously: "I'm used to it, other things... I don't know what to call you."

Li Yanzhen sighed, "Forget it, I'll get you a blanket."

Gu Yan is not a fool, even others can see Li Yanzhen's affection for him, it's not like he didn't feel it at all.But sometimes it's better to be stupid than to understand.At this time, staying for one more second would be more embarrassing. She was going to get the blanket, so he just let her go.

Li Yan came to the ward very upset. She hated Gu Yan for pretending to be stupid. After all, she was young, beautiful, and had a high position. To use a popular saying, she was a genuine "Bai Fumei" ", other men are eager to have a relationship with her, but he doesn't have any thoughts about her.Maybe...it was precisely because of this that she wanted him even more.

Li Yanzhen sighed and pushed open the door of the ward.After looking around for a week, I saw that the blanket was placed on the chair, and there was a coat of Gu Yan on it.Li Yanzhen took the coat away, and the wallet in the pocket accidentally fell out and fell to the ground.This wallet was folded in half, and now that it was unfolded, a photo caught Li Yanzhen's attention.She picked up her wallet and looked carefully at the two people in this photo.A man and a woman, students look like, the background is in a classroom, there are a few books on the desk, the girl is doing her homework with her head down, the boy is smiling brightly at the camera, although the girl is just a profile, but Li Yanzhen can see it at a glance Who is this person.

She suddenly understood the meaning of what Li Binghuan said to her.

Gu Yan looked at the father and son who were playing football just now from a distance, and Li Yanzhen didn't come after waiting for a long time. After a while, he received a call from a stranger, "Hello, hello."

"It's me, Li Yanzhen." Li Yanzhen's voice came from the receiver, sounding weak, "I'm sorry, I just received a call from the company, I have to go back quickly, can you go back to the hospital by yourself?"

"I'm fine, since this is the case, you can go back first." Gu Yan just finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Mu Xue took a comfortable bath and had a good sleep. When she woke up, she found that the sun had already set.She packed up her things, checked out of the room, and returned back just as she stepped out of the hotel door.She looked dumbfounded at the man in uniform in front of her, "You... why are you here?"

"Mu Xue! I just came from a new shift, so I almost missed you!" Su Qi was also surprised, with deep nasolabial folds when he laughed.

Mu Xue quickly recovered her usual indifference, "I asked, why are you here?"

Seeing her unhappy, Su Qi put away his smile, pointed to the clothes on his body and said seriously: "I work here, security guard."

It's also rare that the hotel still wants him at his age. Thinking of the last time he found his home, he turned his eyes to his still intact leg and asked, "No one is chasing you for debt?"

Su Qi looked at her meaningfully, and said with a little comfort: "You still care about me in your heart."

Mu Xue avoided his gaze, pursed her lips, "Don't be self-righteous."

Su Qi wasn't angry either. He smiled and said with some embarrassment: "This time I have to thank your boyfriend. If he hadn't lent me 20 yuan, the people over there wouldn't have given me a grace period..."

"What did you say?" Mu Xue interrupted him, emphasizing her tone, "My boyfriend gave you 20?"

"Don't you know? I thought you knew." Su Qi asked suspiciously.

Mu Xue was shocked again by this sudden news, she didn't quite understand, "The boyfriend you mentioned is..."

"It's the one I saw at the door last time!" Su Qi blurted out, with a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his daughter's "boyfriend", "That kid is really nice, he only met me once The old man is so generous, even though he couldn't pay off all the money he owed, he still..."

"Don't look for him again." With a sullen face, Mu Xue dropped a word coldly and turned to leave the hotel gate.

Su Qi opened his mouth, holding back the unfinished words in his throat, staring at his daughter's thin back with dumbfounded eyes.

Li Yanzhen hurriedly fled the place full of the smell of disinfectant, she didn't have the extra energy to figure out what attitude she should use now to face the person she had silently liked for a long time.She had been wandering the streets for a long time, and her feet ached from the high heels, but it was not as painful as that place.She only felt that her head was heavy, and there were many things she couldn't figure out, but she understood everything.At this time, there seemed to be various sounds roaring in the ears.

…………

……

"Ms. Mu Xue, hello! I'm Wu Baoling, the designer assistant. I've always liked you very much. Ah, I'm so excited that I don't know what to say!" Wu Baoling's bluntness and cuteness made everyone amused.

Mu Xue smiled and shifted her gaze to the man next to Wu Baoling, and when she saw his face, she suddenly froze for a moment.

Wu Baoling poked Gu Yan's arm with her finger, and whispered, "It's your turn."

Gu Yan recovered his senses and looked at Wu Baoling, then looked at Mu Xue again, his eyes flickered, and he cleared his throat before speaking: "Gu Yan, assistant designer."

"Are you flustered seeing such a beautiful girl?" Li Yanzhen noticed his expression and couldn't help laughing. "Well, you can follow Mu Xue from now on." Li Yanzhen pointed at Gu Yan and said.

Gu Yan widened his eyes in panic, and Mu Xue also turned to Li Yanzhen: "Yanzhen."

"You won't disrespect me in front of so many people, will you?" Li Yanzhen smiled sweetly. In her opinion, being Mu Xue's assistant is a matter of honor, and Gu Yan should thank her.As for Gu Yan, he had left a deep impression on her since the last time they met, and she was relieved to let him help Mu Xue.

……

……

"I heard from people in the company that Gu Yan has been single for so many years. Although this is a good thing for young women, don't you think it is more strange that a man as outstanding as him has not fallen in love? Is it possible? ...is there something wrong with him?"

Li Yanzhen who was drinking tea almost couldn't spit out the last sentence, "Stop talking, the more you talk, the more outrageous it will be."

"I'm just curious. Could it be that... just like in the novel, the hero has a special liking for his first love, and has been waiting for the person he loves to come back to him?" Ren Jingyi tapped her chopsticks in the air, making a big deal out of it Feeling good about herself, she suddenly became excited, "If this is the case, then Gu Yan is simply a perfect lover!"

……

……

"I also had youth, and of course I had someone I liked."

"What kind of girl is she?" Ren Jingyi felt sorry for herself if she didn't become a paparazzi.

Gu Yan's eyes fell on the dishes on the table, as if he had fallen into a deep memory, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, and his eyes softened, "He's quite a proud person."

They waited for him to continue.

"She is very beautiful and excellent, so she is naturally proud. She looks cold. Many boys like her and dare not chase after her. I don't know where the courage came from at the time. I always love to pester her. She was very annoying at first. Mine, she was very fierce to me, but in fact she was very kind and cute, but she didn't show it easily, so...that's why I was fascinated. Now that I think about it, I was pretty stupid at that time. "

"Then what happened afterwards?" It was Li Yanzhen who spoke this time.

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at her, "She left this city not long ago, and there will be no follow-up."

……

…………

The scene of the previous days still clearly came to mind, and it slowly merged with the photo I saw just now. Li Yanzhen's head was about to explode. She couldn't help sneering in her heart, feeling that all this was too ironic. in the dark.

To Lee Byung-hwan's surprise, the French man was very satisfied with the company's situation and their hospitality, and flew away ahead of the evening flight.What he didn't expect was that he received a text message from Li Yanzhen.

When he found Li Yanzhen according to the address of the bar in the text message, he found that she already had two empty bottles on hand.She was sitting in front of the bar, resting her chin on one hand and pouring wine into a glass with the other.Li Binghuan sat down beside her, snatched her wine, and said in disbelief, "What time is it, drink like this."

"I want you to take care of it, return the wine to me!" Li Yanzhen said, reaching out to grab it.

Li Binghuan pushed her back on the bar chair, "Leave me alone, why did you call me over?"

Li Yan was really blushing, she smiled, "I think...you need a drink too."

Li Binghuan only waited for her to be drunk, grabbed her arm and wanted to help her back, but Li Yanzhen shook off him and snatched the wine back.She poured Lee Byung-hwan a glass and filled her own.Li Binghuan had no choice but to watch what tricks she was going to play.Li Yanzhen patted her brother on the shoulder and smiled evilly: "I know...you're sad...it's okay, it's fine now, I'll be with you alone...let's have a drink today... ...after drinking it...it won't be so sad...hehe..."

"What happened to you today? What hit you?" Li Binghuan looked at her calmly.

Li Yanzhen waved her hand and almost hit him on the face, "It's okay...I can still bear it, this...it's not a problem at all!"

Lee Byung-hwan started to get anxious now. Normally, his younger sister was always strong and independent, and she rarely saw her vulnerable side. When she looked clearly in pain but said "it's okay", she really broke down.The first time I saw her collapse was when her mother died, and the second time she collapsed was at this very moment.

"Yan Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Li Binghuan patted her face lightly to make her wake up.

Li Yanzhen suddenly buried her head in her arms and began to cry. Li Binghuan waited for her to finish crying, and heard her say: "I finally understand why you said that Gu Yan might not like me."

Li Binghuan frowned and listened to her.

"I saw the photo of him and Mu Xue, from the student days." Li Yanzhen sneered, raised her head and drank a glass.

Li Binghuan had already guessed that it was because of Gu Yan, but he still had a "thump" in his heart, "You...know all about it?"

Li Yanzhen shook her head, she turned to look at her brother, "You should have told me..."

"How can I tell you, are the two people our brother and sister like falling in love?" Li Binghuan laughed at himself.

"Falling in love..." Li Yanzhen chewed the word repeatedly, she snorted coldly, "Then what have we become? For so long, I didn't know that the two of them actually... Brother, when did you know?"

"Just a few days ago." Li Binghuan said as calmly as possible.

Apart from this photo, Li Yanzhen didn't know anything about Gu Yan and Mu Xue. She asked, "What's the matter with the two of them? Are...together?"

"As far as I know, Gu Yan likes Mu Xue, but Mu Xue... I don't know." For Mu Xue who had known him for seven years, Li Binghuan found that he didn't know the person around him very well, and a burst of sadness came from his heart.

Li Yanzhen bit her lip and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Binghuan thought for a while and said: "I also asked myself what to do. After thinking for a long time, the answer I got was the same as being rejected by Mu Xue when I confessed my love for the first time. You can't force things about your relationship. As long as there is no hope at all, I can wait. One day she suddenly finds out that it might be better for me. Besides, she must be troubled by the current situation, she is so kind, and I don't want her to feel guilty about me. "

Li Yanzhen watched him finish these words, and sighed: "You are almost becoming a lover."

"Oh, don't laugh at me." Li Binghuan chuckled and poured himself a glass.

Li Yanzhen put the empty glass in front of him, watched him pour the wine and said, "I'm already like this, what right do I have to laugh at you."

Li Binghuan put down the bottle and looked at her, "Are you really... in love with him?"

Li Yanzhen was silent for a long time before replying: "I dare not say that I have as deep a feeling for Mu Xue as you, but this time I really fell in love with him, I... love him so much, I don't want to give up."

"...Don't hurt Mu Xue." Li Binghuan said suddenly and seriously.

Li Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, and understood what he said, she said with a smile that was not a smile: "Don't worry, no matter what, I don't want to get into trouble with Mu Xue, I still hope that she will be my sister-in-law."
