What followed was a very peaceful and long time.
Gu Ziyi and Luo Lian have no intersection at all, at least that's how it seems.
Gu Ziyi did not take the initiative to contact Luo Lian, and Luo Lian did not take the initiative to contact Gu Ziyi because of Gu Ziyi's last statement.
The two people seem to be completely unrelated.
Only Gu Ziyi knew something about Luo Lian's current situation, and the source was from Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen will not tell Gu Ziyi the content of his chat with Luo Lian. He can only tell Gu Ziyi whether Luo Lian is doing well or not now.
To be honest, Dr. Chen has seen many patients with mental illness. Depression, mania, narcolepsy... and so on.
Luo Lian's depression level is not low, but he is very strange. He was suppressing himself intensely to make himself look less bad. To put it simply, he experienced an "internal explosion" process over a long period of time.
His sense of survival is particularly strong.
Dr. Chen was previously worried that Luo Lian was world-weary, and indeed he was, but it was not that serious. He had a desire to live. Although he has no expectations for this world, he still has some preferences.
Maybe it's a person, maybe it's something, maybe it's an object.
Dr. Chen did not mention Gu Ziyi, but Luo Lian deliberately avoided Gu Ziyi. He barely mentioned a word about "Gu Ziyi". He would rather tell and share the trivial matters of his childhood than talk to others about what happened between him and Gu Ziyi.
Perhaps unknowingly, the shared memories between him and Gu Ziyi became more important than anything else, but Luo Lian didn't realize it.
Doctor Chen did not ask Gu Ziyi about the relationship between her and Luo Lian. But as a psychiatrist, I can more or less make some guesses. After all, he studies human psychology.
Gu Ziyi leaves no trace of her work. After contacting Jian Fan that time, she deleted Jian Fan's contact information, just like she never took the initiative to contact Jian Fan. She couldn't guarantee whether Jian Fan would keep secret. She could only guarantee that Luo Lian would not discover her.
Although she rejected Zuo Yang, she was still willing to help Luo Lian out of goodwill.
As for other things... I won't have any thoughts that I shouldn't have.
Gu Ziyi went to Gu Yifan's musical instrument store during the weekend. She came after such a long time because she never seemed to have any free time before.
As for Gu Yifan's musical instrument store, the income is not considerable. After all, it is a musical instrument. Its audience is not large, and the price of an instrument in good condition is not low. It is considered a luxury product. There are not many customers. The store has just been opened in the early stage, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of customer traffic for a while.
Gu Yifan's musical instrument store is not big. There are all kinds of guitars hanging on the wall. When you enter the door, you can see a piano and violins...
But it feels a lot different from the usual musical instrument stores.
Gu Ziyi pushed the door open and saw Gu Yifan. Gu Yifan was sitting on the beanbag, watching TV series on his iPad.
Gu Ziyi knocked on the table, "Boss, we have a guest."
Gu Yifan raised his head, said "Ouch" and got up from the lazy sofa, "Sister, why are you here?"
Gu Ziyi sat down on the side and asked her: "How about coming to see you?"
"It's okay, let's make do with it." Gu Yifan threw the iPad aside and looked at Gu Ziyi with a smile.
Gu Ziyi laughed.
Gu Yifan said: "As long as I don't starve to death."
"I heard Xia Yue say... Did Liu Nian Nian introduce the guests here?" Gu Ziyi heard what Xia Yue said, it seemed that it was the time she and Liu Nian Nian went to Xia Yue's house for dinner. Later, she and Liu Nianwen went home separately, and then it rained. Liu Niannian met Gu Yifan by chance, and the two got acquainted. They got along quite well and became good friends.
"Brother Liu introduced some guests." Gu Yifan stood up and poured a glass of water for Gu Ziyi. "I heard from Sister Xia Yue that you and Brother Liu are also good friends."
Gu Ziyi crossed her legs and leaned against the sofa, "Well, we have known each other for some years. I have a good relationship with Xia Yue. He is Xia Yue's friend and Xia Yue introduced him to me."
"Oh." Gu Yifan handed the water glass to Gu Ziyi.
Gu Ziyi glanced at her, "You..." She raised an eyebrow at Gu Yifan.
Gu Yifan: "...I don't have it."
"I haven't said it yet." Gu Ziyi smiled half-heartedly, as if she had seen through it.
Gu Yifan: "...Don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't say anything, okay?" Gu Ziyi couldn't stop the corners of her lips from rising.
Gu Yifan nestled into the lazy sofa and looked at Gu Ziyi, "..."
Gu Ziyi smiled and said nothing. Gu Yifan most likely has a crush on Liu Yiannian. Gu Ziyi didn't care much about their affairs, just let everything take its course, and it had little to do with her.
Gu Ziyi stayed with Gu Yifan for a while, then felt itchy and tried the piano.
She is no stranger to the piano, after all, she has been playing it for the longest time from childhood to college. Yiyi often plays the piano and is deeply influenced by it.
Gu Ziyi's piano skills are actually not particularly outstanding. She just has one or two pieces of music that she is good at and is particularly proficient in.
My hand felt itchy for a while, so I played a short section.
Gu Yifan took his mobile phone and recorded a short video for her next to her.
Gu Ziyi didn't stay here for too long. She gave Gu Yifan a few words before leaving, and then left.
Time flies so fast, and the four seasons are turning around again in a blink of an eye. In the first few months of this year, she was busy at Gu's, and now she sees that the weather is getting colder and colder.
When Gu Ziyi came out of the musical instrument store, a gust of wind blew over her, making her a little cold. She tucked in the collar of her thick coat and walked down the street. Went to the milk tea shop in front and ordered a cup of hot pearl milk tea.
While waiting, she scrolled through Vblog on her mobile phone.
Then a call suddenly came in on the phone, and it happened that the milk tea was ready. She didn't look at the caller ID and just swiped to answer the call, picking up the milk tea with her other hand.
She tilted her head and held the phone between her hands, inserted the straw into the milk tea cup with one hand, and then picked up the phone with her left hand. She threw the straw's plastic wrapper into the trash.
"Are you occupied?"
Gu Ziyi's hands paused, wondering if she was hallucinating.
She took the phone off with her left hand and looked at the name displayed on the phone screen.
"Let's meet. I heard Zuo Yang said that he met you a few months ago."
It's winter now, and it has indeed been several months since Gu Ziyi and Zuo Yang met.
Gu Ziyi took a sip of milk tea. The sweet taste made her stomach feel warm, and the coldness of late autumn suddenly seemed to be relieved. It also made Gu Ziyi's heart soften a little.
"There are some things we should say face to face."
