Chapter 28
In the photo, Wen Ning smiled brightly, from innocent eyes to happy faces.
There is a group photo of the two of them facing each other, looking at each other and smiling. Wen Ning squinted and smiled stupidly, showing half of her little white teeth on the side of her face, while the person on the opposite side was empty. She seemed to be looking at the air and smiling.
Gu Chixi remembered that this photo was taken together by Wen Ning when she was in high school.
In addition to photos, there are some old things in the box, such as bracelets, postcards, mini-dolls, etc. There are also many drafts of comics and sketches of portraits. The comics are the daily life of the two of them. The sketches are all Gu Chixi, and the dates are clearly recorded.
Turning over and over, Gu Chixi fell into a trance.
The door of the room opened, Wen Ning came back from the toilet, saw Gu Chixi holding the box motionless in his hand, panicked, rushed over and snatched it away, clutching it tightly in his arms.
“Who made you mess with my stuff!” she roared angrily.
Gu Chixi looked up in a daze, and saw a hint of confusion flashing in those clear eyes.
The unknown secrets in the old days were spied on, revealing the wounds hidden in the bottom of her heart. Wen Ning’s face flushed red and sourness surged up. She hugged the box and quickly turned into the room and stuffed it back into the bottom corner of the closet. .
Tears fell suddenly.
She stood up, turned her back to the balcony, her fingertips clenched the cabinet door tightly, and there were blue veins floating on the back of her hand. She bit her lip and didn’t make a sound, hooked her shoulders, her breath was so tight that her chest hurt.
The consciousness is numb, and the whole person seems to be stuck in the collapsed sand, washed away by the flood, and sparsely collapsed into a piece of ooze.
Suppressed gasps.
Gu Chixi stood on the balcony, looking at her back, who was trying so hard to restrain her trembling, and walked over step by step.
“Lime…”
She reached out and tried to hug her.
Wen Ning broke free like a hedgehog, full of resistance.
Gu Chixi slowly retracted his hand, hung it by his side, and lowered his eyes. After a long time, he said softly, “Blame me. It’s my fault.”
“When I came back that day, I told you that in the past few years studying in the UK, I…”
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Ning suddenly took a deep breath and interrupted with a choked cry: “I don’t care where you have died in the past few years. What would you have said to me at the beginning?”
After all, she couldn’t help but ask.
On the reunion that day, she thought she was dreaming, the face of the person in the dream appeared in front of her eyes, both real and fake, and complex emotions rushed into her heart, lingering in all kinds of ways, and later it was all irony and hatred.
She acted enthusiastically, as if the two had never been apart, as if there had been no seven-year gap between each other, as if she had not been left behind.
The things that I care about most in my heart have been packaged in a casual tone and said.
She casually asked where Gu Chixi had been in the past few years.
To put it lightly on convenience: study in the UK.
She casually asked her what to do when she came back.
I still get a simple statement: my father has passed away, and I have family affairs to deal with.
After that, Wen Ning never asked again.
They have already missed out, everything has nothing to do with them, and they can’t go back to the past if they ask, on the contrary, they seem to care a lot, as if they were waiting for someone to come back. She is stupid, but not mean.
I never thought that the reunion was just the beginning. In the following two months, Wen Ning’s life was quickly filled with Gu Chixi’s figure, and even a legal wife-wife relationship.
Actually she cares.
This was the sharpest and deepest thorn in her heart.
Gu Chixi’s breathing was stagnant, and there was a look of embarrassment in his eyes, “I was supposed to leave after Valentine’s Day, but your birthday is coming soon, and I want to celebrate your birthday for you.”
Wen Ning’s birthday is March 24th.
She never thought that Ning Ning would confess to her that day.
From childhood to adulthood, the relationship of thirteen years was pure and ignorant at first, but then she was full of joy and admiration, all suppressed in her heart. At that moment, she was both happy and afraid, but more desperate. Because she knew she had to leave and didn’t know if she could come back, she couldn’t give Ningling any response or promise.
“Then I would like to thank you for staying with me for another month?” Wen Ning sneered.
The people behind were silent.
For a long time, I couldn’t wait for an answer.
Wen Ning raised her hand and wiped her face, wiping away her tears, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
He said that his relationship with Gu Chixi was just an exchange of interests. When you are wronged, you always think of the other party. When you are treated gently, you are powerless, like a frog that falls into warm water. Maybe it is cooked and cooked without knowing it.
In this in-flight conflict, everything Gu Chixi did before and after, and her firm attitude of maintenance, all deeply pierced the softest part of her heart.
Because of the fear of falling, Wen Ning kept telling herself that the person was just to take care of the overall situation.
She could only take a peek at the mutilated photos when no one was there.
“At that time—”
Gu Chixi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and continued, “Something happened at home, I have to leave.”
“Really?” Wen Ning turned around with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.
“If you say you have difficulties and urgent reasons, I believe it, but what can make you leave without leaving a word? You were kidnapped? You were knocked out and resisted leaving? Or you have been studying abroad for the past few years. Read about being cut off from the world? Not a single message?”
She questioned repeatedly, her voice hoarse, her red eyes filled with tears.
During the first half year of Gu Chixi’s departure, Wen Ning felt that the whole world had lost its color. Every day she held her mobile phone and repeatedly added the deleted Q|Q, hoping to receive a call from Gu Chixi or receive a text message. . I don’t want to go to school, I just want to stay at the gate of the yard next door, for fear that Gu Chixi will miss her when she comes back.
I remember the first Spring Festival after learning to fly. When she went home, she saw a sudden movement in the yard next door. She thought it was Gu Chixi who came back, and called out to her sister stupidly.
Unfamiliar faces came out of the door, new neighbors.
Expectations turned into disappointments. She seemed to be standing on a cliff, stepping on the air and falling straight into the abyss.
That night, Wen Ning shut herself in the room and cried for a long time while holding the photo of Gu Chixi. Then, she took the needle and scissors and cut out the face of the person in all the photos.
Later, my heart was cold, but it never warmed up again.
What Wen Ning cared about the most and couldn’t hold her breath the most was why Gu Chixi left without saying a word, and the second reason for leaving.
She cried, Gu Chixi looked at her, her heart was about to break.
“It’s complicated. Also, some things aren’t clear, and I’m looking into them.”
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Chixi lowered her eyes and said nothing.
It is about the family, and there are many hidden things. She has a mother who is a junior. She is an illegitimate daughter.
So she never mentioned her parents in front of Wen Ning, and she never let Wen Ning intervene in family affairs.
Seeing her embarrassed, Wen Ning felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and sneered: “Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway, I don’t want to know, don’t tell me, we still have our own ways, it’s good.”
“Lime…”
Gu Chixi sighed lightly, grabbed her hand and put it in his palm, and said sincerely: “Since I’m back and can face you, I will definitely explain it to you, but I need a little time, wait for me.”
A soft voice tickled across his heart like a feather.
Wen Ning looked at her directly, faintly moved.
The tears dried up, and there were still crystal teardrops hanging on her eyelashes. Gu Chixi raised his hand to wipe it off for her, and his thumb gently stroked the corner of her eye, slid down the outline of her face, landed on her lips, and pressed it gently.
The other arm went around his waist and wrapped around Wen Ning’s back.
Gu Chixi leaned closer, closed her eyes, and her soft lips carefully covered hers, not in a hurry to capture her, but just wandered around outside, as if to appease her.
This gesture is too intimate, Wen Ning felt a little uncomfortable, not as confused as she was in the office that day, she subconsciously leaned back, her shoulders pressed against the wardrobe, there was no way to go back, she wanted to push it away, but her hands seemed to be filled with lead , can’t lift it up.
She doesn’t actually resist her.
But even if you explain everything clearly, so what? She was just relieved. After seven years of vacancy, she could not find her former intimacy.
Wen Ning pushed Gu Chixi away.
“Lemon?”
“I haven’t waited for you, and I won’t wait for you.” She said stubbornly.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of July, the thunderstorms no longer continued, but the high temperature was unbearable.
The lawsuit concerning the DC5068 incident was handed over to the Legal Department. The pilot pilots who were to be recruited went through the formalities in batches, and the new passengers who were to be trained were also arranged. The company is slowly restoring the original order, and everything is developing in a positive direction. But under the calm, there are always undercurrents.
The last time Gu Chixi dragged his friend to investigate the matter, but he couldn’t explain the three or two sentences on the phone. He needed to meet and talk. It happened that the other party was coming to Los Angeles to play and stay here for a while.
She was in a meeting at that time and asked Tan Jia to pick up someone.
At about 4:30, Gu Chixi walked out of the conference room, talking with the vice president Luo Qian all the way, and separated at the elevator entrance. She went to the top floor and went back to the office.
Opening the door, Qiu Yiran sat on the sofa with the English Bible in her hand. She looked up and smiled at Gu Chixi: “Sister Xi—”
She wears a long **** pink dress, her long black and straight hair hangs down to the back of her waist, her facial features are soft and delicate, her face is glowing, and there is a pure and gentle temperament between her eyebrows and eyes.
The thin little sweet voice is very suitable for this face.
“Um.”
Gu Chixi smiled lightly, glanced at the cup full of tea in front of her, poured herself a glass of water and sat down, “Did you find out anything?”
The two of them didn’t see anything outside, and they said something straight.
Qiu Yiran nodded, closed the Bible, turned around and handed her a file bag, “There is only this information at the moment.”
Gu Chixi took it and turned it over.
The new energy project invested by Wen Ning’s parents four years ago, the company behind it is called “Ruihui International”, which is engaged in the import and export of daily chemical raw materials, which seems to be incompatible with new energy, like a leather bag company.
The legal person’s surname is Liao, male, in his 40s. After the Ponzi scheme was exposed four years ago, he was imprisoned. He has not yet come out.
He was upside down and he didn’t find any useful information.
“Sister Xi, this is a leather bag company. The legal person is a decoration. It is used as a scapegoat.”
“how?”
Qiu Yiran frowned in distress and sighed: “The real people behind the scenes have a very deep background. What people can find is superficial information, and it will take some time to find out.”
Gu Chixi’s expression suddenly became solemn.
People who are not even found in the Qiu family are either on par with them, or they are deeper and wider than them.
Things suddenly became less simple.
“It’s okay,” Gu Chixi pondered for a moment, “take your time.”
Checking this was just an accidental idea of hers. She didn’t expect to find something, so she had to eliminate her doubts, but the results in front of her made her even more worried, and she always felt that she could touch something.
“Sister Xi~”
“Huh?” Gu Chixi regained his senses.
Qiu Yiran curled his lips and winked at her: “Last time you said you invited me to dinner, does it count?”
“certainly.”
“Then how about introducing the handsome guy and the pretty sister to me?”
Gu Chixi got up and walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of photos prepared for her in advance, “Choose for yourself, which one you like, I can arrange for you to eat, whether you can make an appointment depends on you. already.”
The above are full-body ID photos of high-quality flight attendants, flight attendants, and pilots, aged between 20 and 30, in uniform.
Qiu Yiran flipped through the photos and shook his head in disgust: “I’m not interested, it’s not my taste.”
“Then what do you like?”
“It’s wild, strong, and thorny. If it’s a little sassier, it’s better to be no more than three years older than me.” She said with greedy eyes.
Don’t look at Qiu Yiran’s appearance as pure and gentle, like a clean white lotus. In fact, she has a special temperament and loves to play with waves. She has rich experience and many tricks. She likes people who are completely opposite to her temperament. feel stimulating.
Gu Chixi’s expression was light, she thought about it seriously, and said, “Go to a nightclub or bar to look for it.”
“Come on, don’t worry.”
…
In the evening, a crew car stopped in front of the company building.
Wen Ning got out of the car, pulled the flight case, and entered the lobby on the first floor. The colleagues behind him dispersed, those who went home went home, and those who went to the dormitory went to the dormitory.
The elevator was busy up and down, and it didn’t come for a long time.
While waiting, she looked down at her phone, and there was a faint voice coming from her ear, and the footsteps on high heels were getting closer and closer.
The voice was very familiar.
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, then raised her head suddenly, she saw Gu Chixi and a strange woman walking from the special elevator passage.
meet face to face.
Gu Chixi’s footsteps paused slightly, and then passed by her without looking at Wen Ning as if he hadn’t seen Wen Ning.
