Every time Gu Nianzhi recalled what happened on his eighteenth birthday, what impressed him most was the roaring silver-gray fighter jet in the vast wind and rain.
Although he regretted that Huo Shaoheng did not come in person, Gu Nianzhi persistently regarded this as "the beauty of imperfection".
The ultimate beauty is the beauty of imperfections, such as Venus's broken arm, the unfinished "Dream of Red Mansions"...
And He Zhichu did not hesitate to reconcile with the US military and used a navy ship to come to rescue her. She was full of gratitude, but she never thought of receiving such a big gift from He Zhichu.
After that, she kept her distance from He Zhichu more and more, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work and study.
He Zhichu noticed her alienation. Although he felt uncomfortable, he knew that he could not push her too hard and give her time to slowly adapt to the change. Therefore, he temporarily put aside Gu Nianzhi's affairs and traveled between Harvard University in Boston and the capital of the Chinese Empire. B is very busy between teaching classes and supervising graduate students.
…
The days always fly by the fastest when you are working hard.
Fast forward to December, and it’s winter in Washington, D.C.
In the evening, Gu Nianzhi walked out of Capitol Hill wearing a slim silver-gray thin cashmere horn-button coat and walked to the apartment hotel where he lived.
Because her apartment is very close to Capitol Hill, she has been walking back for the past two months as a way to exercise.
When I came to the door, I saw a plump Chinese woman wearing a long dark red coat standing there, talking to the hotel doorman.
The doorman recognized Gu Nianzhi. When he saw her coming, he waved and said, "Miss Gu! Someone is looking for you!"
Gu Nianzhi looked at the woman. She had a fair face, two eye-catching willow eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes under the willow eyebrows, kind and gentle eyes, a small and exquisite nose, and equally small and exquisite lips with light lip gloss. She looked in her twenties. He looked very calm and steady.
She was very beautiful and elegant, but Gu Nianzhi was sure that he did not know this woman.
Gu Nianzhi nodded to her, "Hello, who are you?"
The woman looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile, a look of amazement in her eyes. She walked over quickly and introduced herself to Gu Nianzhi: "I am Jiang Hongcha. I wonder if Mei Xiawen has mentioned me to you."
The Weibo name "Black Tea Sky" flashed through Gu Nianzhi's mind. This woman must be Mei Xiawen's first girlfriend...
"I don't remember if he mentioned it or not." Gu Nianzhi smiled. She had not had much contact with Mei Xiawen recently.
Mei Xiawen felt that he was the one who took the initiative to find Gu Nianzhi every time. It had been half a year, but Gu Nianzhi was still lukewarm. He was unwilling to do so and planned to leave Gu Nianzhi alone for a while, playing hard to get, until she couldn't stand it anymore and came to find her. He, no matter how good he is to her, he can truly win over this little girl's heart...
Gu Nianzhi knew that she would go back at the end of the year. She had not yet thought about how to face Mei Xiawen, so she did not take the initiative to contact Mei Xiawen.
Now seeing ginger black tea, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What do you want from me?"
Facing Gu Nianzhi like this, Jiang Hongcha felt a little uneasy.
She had seen Gu Nianzhi's appearance, and she thought she was just a pretty, smart commoner girl who could be rounded or squashed by her in any minute.
But the woman in front of her, I heard, had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday, and the air of her whole body was clearly the elegance and reserve that could only be cultivated in the upper class society.
Could it be that in just half a year in the U.S. Congress, she was completely transformed
Jiang Hongcha held back the sourness in her heart and smiled gently at Gu Nianzhi: "I do have something to say about me and Mei Xiawen. Can you go have a cup of coffee with me?"
Seeing Gu Nianzhi's hesitation, Jiang Hongcha immediately said: "If you don't go anywhere else, just here. I think this is also a hotel, there should be a cafe, right?"
"Yes, come with me." Gu Nianzhi originally didn't want to talk to Jiang Hongcha, but after hearing what she said was about her and Mei Xiawen, she didn't want to refuse.
Because the most important thing is that she is very hesitant now. She can't see any way out for her relationship with Mei Xiawen, and she also needs to listen to other people's opinions.
Jiang Hongcha is Mei Xiawen's first girlfriend, so she should have a say.
The two came to the cafe of the Capitol Hill Hotel and found a corner to sit down.
Large pots of green plants block this place into a small isolated space.
Gu Nianzhi ordered a cappuccino and slowly circled the coffee cup with a spoon. He supported his head with one hand and looked calmly at the ginger tea sitting opposite her.
Jiang Hongcha didn't ask for coffee, but a cup of warm milk. "I can't drink coffee now." She smiled softly at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi felt that Jiang Hongcha's smile was full of maternal glory. She lowered her head, threw down the spoon, and took a sip of the hot cappuccino.
Jiang Hongcha was holding hot milk and looked like she didn't know where to start. After a while, she said, "Nianzhi, can I ask you to Nianzhi?"
"Whatever." Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked up at Jiang Hongcha. His voice was soft and a little hoarse. He spent an afternoon debating the appropriation with people on Capitol Hill today, and now his voice is hoarse.
"My family and the Mei family are family friends, we can be considered childhood sweethearts." Jiang Hongcha fell into fond memories, "But we were together in high school."
Gu Nianzhi frowned slightly, a little impatient.
She didn't have lunch today because she was busy with work, and now she's in a hurry to go back for dinner. If Jiang Hongcha goes on "telling it in detail from the beginning" like this, how long will it last
Gu Nianzhi coughed lightly and simply said, "Xia Wen mentioned that he had a first girlfriend who went abroad after graduating from high school and broke up with her later. Is she you?"
Jiang Hongcha didn't expect that Gu Nian would tell her and Mei Xiawen's beautiful first love story in just one sentence, and felt a little uncomfortable.
The beauty in her memory was not humane at all when Gu Nianzhi said it like this.
Sure enough, this woman had no father or mother since she was a child, and had a bad upbringing. To interrupt others so rudely must be because what she said made her feel very uncomfortable...
Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Hongcha's face grew wider, and she nodded leisurely, "You can say that. However, after I returned to China after graduating from university for four years, Xia Wen and I met... again."
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, okay? You will make me regret coming here to drink coffee with you if you hesitate like this."
"...Okay, Miss Gu, I'll keep the story short." Jiang Hongcha sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, "That's right, I want to ask, are you Mei Xiawen's girlfriend?"
Gu Nianzhi closed his eyes, "... not yet."
"That's not the case, right?" Jiang Hongcha smiled good-naturedly, "Then I don't feel so guilty. That's the thing. Neither Xia Wen nor I can forget our first love, but we said we want to be together. , there are obstacles in our hearts that we can't get over. So we agreed that the two of us would give each other another chance to try. However, this attempt is not binding in any way. Ms. Gu, please rest assured that we are an open-relationship, which means I can date others. He can also woo other women, such as Miss Gu."
