"She remembered what happened four years ago.

At that time, Gu Yebai had gone from being an unknown student to becoming the number one male star of G University. In his graduation year, he held an outdoor art exhibition.

On the day of the art exhibition, the weather forecast was clearly sunny. However, when the exhibition was being set up, it suddenly rained. Gu Yebai happened to have an appointment with a client of the Art Consulting Agency that day and couldn't get back until the art exhibition started. By then, he had become a member of the Gu family. One of the successor candidates.

There were not enough staff, so she also immersed herself in the rain to collect the paintings. During the process, Huai'an came over with an umbrella. Upon seeing this, he immediately helped clean up the painting. He dropped the umbrella on the painting and got himself wet.

She was holding an important painting and ran quickly. Seeing the rain soaking the painting, she was so anxious that she stumbled and was startled. She was afraid that if she fell, the painting would get wet as well. , her heartbeat suddenly suffocated, and a sharp pain came. She didn't dare to stop, and kept running quickly until she moved the painting into the nearest teaching building. Putting the painting next to other staff, she stumbled into the women's toilet next to her and took out medicine from her bag.

But the more anxious she became, the less she could find it. She clutched the sink in pain, turned the bag over, and everything inside fell to the ground. She squatted down, picked up the medicine bottle, opened it with trembling hands, and put two pills into her mouth. . After a while, the rapid heartbeat slowed down and returned to normal. She was sweating profusely and began to pick up things on the ground.

Obviously, the number of attacks has decreased a lot in the past two years. Susan said that this was a miracle caused by love. She did not believe it, but she was so happy with Gu Yebai that she sometimes had the illusion that one day she might It really heals. She was thinking, her nose was sore, and suddenly, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"What did you just eat?"

The other party asked softly.

Startled, she looked up and found it was Huai'an.

What did she see? Was she just watching from the door? She was a little frightened, like someone who had done something bad and was caught red-handed.

"Let's go drink coffee." Huai'an suggested lightly as he handed over a pack of tissues.

She took it with some embarrassment, took out one to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and agreed. After all, Huai'an had just moved the paintings in the rain and helped, so she couldn't refuse.

They went to the school western restaurant.

She and Huai'an had never spoken much. They were from the same school. She had met each other before and greeted each other warmly, but Huai'an was quite indifferent. Huai'an was the school beauty, but she was the kind of person who would graduate in a few years. You accidentally meet a classmate from passerby who may look familiar to you on the road but can't remember his name. Later, with the incident involving Gu Yebai, the two of you become even more estranged. To avoid embarrassment and not to let Huai'an think she was showing off, she seldom took the initiative when meeting him on weekdays.

For people and things, going from enthusiasm to indifference is not inevitable for growth, but you will find that as time goes by, you are experiencing it to some extent. This is the price you have already paid while growing up.

"Thank you." The silence was a little strange. She didn't have the strong aura of Huai'an, so she spoke first.

Huai'an picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee, paused for a moment, then raised his head and said, "You are not suitable for him."

She regretted coming to drink this cup of coffee, but she still smiled and said nothing.

Huai'an stared at her with a somewhat aggressive look, "Do you have any hidden illness?"

She didn't answer, but pursed her lips to meet the other person's gaze.

"You know, without you, Gu Yebai and I would have been a couple." Huai'an said coldly.

"I've known him before, and I believe he also has a crush on me. It was you who suddenly appeared and used some truth or dare method to attract his attention. We were in the study room, and he even translated a poem for me."

"It's a love poem. You know, I'm not a girl who likes to lie. I don't do it very well."

Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know that Huai'an and Gu Yebai still had such a past, but she knew that Gu Yebai probably didn't have too many other feelings for Huai'an. Gu Yebai had always been the kind of person who liked him whenever he liked her. If you don't like it, you don't like it.

She took out her wallet, put the money on the table, and stood up, "I'm leaving first. No matter what you say, everything today is his choice."

"Do you feel that you are really selfish? You should hide your illness from Gu Yebai. What is it about you? Ordinary colds are not like this, and there is no need to run to the bathroom to take medicine. He is a person who should shine. Man, he does not exist to take care of you in the future. Not to mention what help you can give him, can you do it simply without dragging him down? After graduation are his most important years, he will be exhausted from work. , he still has to take care of you after all, and all his talents have been consumed in daily necessities."

Her voice was not loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting her.

She didn't reply a word and left without looking back. But her heart was not as peaceful and calm as she had imagined.

That night, she spent the night in Gu Yebai's apartment.

She talked about Huai'an's help but didn't mention much else. Gu Yebai was reading some information on the Internet and said "hmm" when he heard this.

"Then what?" she asked.

"What else?" Gu Yebai paused, "Just say thank you to her when you see her. But since you have already thanked me, that's fine."

He paused and then added, "If you think it's not enough, I'll ask Susan to treat her to a meal and I'll pay the bill."

She was stunned, "Why did Susan come forward?"

He said calmly, "You are not her opponent, why bother yourself? Do you want your husband to invite a girl to dinner in private? Susan is our good friend, so she is the most suitable. Oh, or Lin Ziyan. "

She laughed "poof", and a warmth suddenly rose in her heart, as if her limbs and bones had been opened.

"Xiao Bai," he paused, and she still pretended to be casual and asked: "If we were not together, would you like a girl like her Huai'an?"

"Maybe," he answered nonchalantly while sliding the mouse, "I am somewhat similar to him."

"Similar?" This answer was somewhat beyond her expectation.

"Well, except for what he believes in, he is indifferent to other things, overly rational, and not a good person at heart. That's more or less." Hearing the confusion in her voice, he explained to her.

She asked again: "If we were not together, would you be with her?"

Gu Yebai finally put down the mouse and turned around, "What does this mean, Classmate Lu."

His eyes were gentle, clear, and just right tough.

"Where are you thinking? I don't like her. I will beat her if she does it again." He came over and pinched her nose with one hand.

She screamed and pulled his hand down. His eyes were heavy, and he raised his hand to tickle her and pushed her down on the sofa...

Maybe Gu Yebai just regarded it as her girl's temporary "overthinking" and had long forgotten it, but she kept it firmly in mind.

What Zhou Huaian said was not unreasonable. She was not the person who could accompany him to the end. And maybe, Zhou Huaian can.

She is the person Gu Yebai said is somewhat similar to himself to some extent.

She believed that Gu Yebai really loved her back then, very much, and she didn't want to destroy him.

She didn't want him to spend his best years worrying about her all day long and struggling to take care of her. She didn't want to be a burden to him, and she didn't want him to be tired one day and the two of them would finally be speechless.

Therefore, he sacrificed his life to save the Lushan fire, and the death of Brother Chi became the last straw for her, making her finally make up her mind to leave. He will hate her, but at least, he will not be depressed and miserable because of her. He has suffered too much when he was young. His youth should not wither in the days of taking care of her. His talents should be best matched. life.

Since they met in the most beautiful years, let her leave in the best years. Even if she hates him, she just wants him to remember her healthy and dancing appearance.

"Qing, it's not me, and it's not you. Since this is his choice, so be it. I will leave, and you should try to let go and let yourself go. When we were classmates, you hated me, but I actually hated you too. , but in the end I hope you can live happily." She looked at her pale smile in the mirror.

Xu Qing's face was deathly pale, even worse than hers.

"I know I shouldn't, but I came back just to take a look at him. I didn't intend to appear in front of him. It was your bet with Shan that brought me to him. Let me stay for a few more days. After a month, I will definitely leave. This is my promise to you. If you break it, I will die."

After she said that, she didn't stay any longer. She knew that the other party hated her.

Looking at the walking figure, Xu Qing punched the overflowing water in the pool, causing the reflection in the water to shatter. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and slammed the door and left.

When all the sounds fell silent, the door of the cubicle opened and a woman came out. After she came out of the tea room, she didn't go far. She kept waiting for the other person to come out. Then she saw him leave and followed him. She wanted to talk to this ignorant ex! Unexpectedly, Xu Qing suddenly appeared in the lobby. Seeing the two of them coming towards the bathroom in the lobby, she took the lead in waiting. She didn't know what Xu Qing was thinking and her feelings for Gu Yebai. She wanted to take a good look at the excitement. However, unexpectedly, things developed beyond her expectation.

"He kissed you? Lu Youyan!" In front of the mirror, the beautiful and charming face could not conceal the ruthlessness and sinisterness.

She quickly chased him out and saw him pushing the door open in the lobby. She followed him quietly until she saw him walking into the coffee shop opposite the building.

"You are just prey to him. After you finish playing revenge, you are different from Zhou Huaian. I don't have to be afraid." She murmured, adding all her anger to this woman and Zhou Huaian.

Taking out her mobile phone and dialing the number, she said coldly: "I'm Zuko, please do something for me."
