Simple Love [About My Encounter with Bai Yueguang in College]

A simple sentence "I like you" made Gu Jingchen's heart beat fast. After all, it was said by Su Xiaomian, and it had great killing power.

It was like a war hammer hitting Gu Jingchen's heart.

It’s hard to describe that feeling, but Gu Jingchen almost felt numb when he heard it.

Seeing that Gu Jingchen was completely stunned, Su Xiaomian stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and Gu Jingchen then recovered.

In the afternoon, after Gu Fancheng called Gu Jingchen, Gu Jingchen went to pack his luggage.

Seeing Gu Jingchen's strange behavior, Su Xiaomian couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, why are you packing your luggage?"

Gu Jingchen patted his head and said, "Senior sister, grandma asked us to go back to our hometown for dinner tomorrow."

Su Xiaomian thought this was Gu Jingchen's home and had no idea that he had an old home.

Su Xiaomian nodded, packed her luggage, and drove back to her hometown in the afternoon.

Gu Jingchen’s hometown is in a town, but it is not a rural area, but a residential area.

They went home after dinner, and it was already dark when they got home.

This is a very small community and looks quite old.

Gu Jingchen's mother used to live here and left the key to the house to Gu Jingchen before she went away.

After he went to high school, Gu Jingchen's mother bought a house near his high school, and he has not returned to this home for a long time.

Gu Jingchen's family lives on the fourth floor, and there is no elevator here, so Gu Jingchen carried all of Su Xiaomian's luggage up there.

Although Su Xiaomian kept saying no, she couldn't resist Gu Jingchen's insistence.

Gu Jingchen took out the key from his pocket and opened the door skillfully.

What came into view was darkness, and he turned on the light in the dark according to his memory.

The house in my hometown is not big, only about 100 square meters. Although it has been unoccupied for a long time, it is surprisingly clean.

It was obvious that Gu Jingchen's mother had hired someone to clean the house.

There were even new sheets on the sofa.

Gu Jingchen asked Su Xiaomian to rest first, and then went to make the bed.

Su Xiaomian looked around curiously, and only stood up and started to look around after getting Gu Jingchen's permission.

The brands of furniture here are a bit old, but they are all well maintained and look still usable.

Su Xiaomian walked to the door of a room, pushed it open and walked in.

This is a room surrounded by books. It is no exaggeration to say that the room is full of books. The cabinets, desks and bookshelves are all filled with books.

Let's call this room the study for now.

Because they have been tidied up, there is no dust on these books.

Su Xiaomian was visiting inside and saw a blue notebook on the desk.

She opened the first page, which contained only five words:

Gu Jingchen's diary.

Su Xiaomian really wanted to see how Gu Jingchen spent his childhood, but she felt it was impolite to peek into someone else's diary, so she went to the room where Gu Jingchen was.

"Junior, can I see your diary?" Su Xiaomian asked carefully. She would not be angry even if Gu Jingchen refused.

After all, even though they are a couple, it doesn't mean that they have no privacy. She respects Gu Jingchen so she asked him, otherwise she could have watched secretly.

Gu Jingchen was stunned for a moment, but didn't care, and said: "Senior sister, you are my girlfriend, of course it's okay."

Although Su Xiaomian wanted to watch, she didn't just want to watch it because she was Gu Jingchen's girlfriend. She wanted to know about this boy's childhood so that she could take better care of him.

"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to get to know you better."

Gu Jingchen's face became even more confused, and then he laughed.

"Senior, it's okay, as long as you don't mind."

After saying this, Gu Jingchen walked over to Su Xiaomian, gently touched her head, and then continued to do his work.

Su Xiaomian didn't bother Gu Jingchen anymore. She walked into the study, sat at the desk and opened the diary.

He started keeping this diary when he was in elementary school, and he wrote it almost every day.

Before the third grade of elementary school, it was basically what happened every day, but most of the time it was about his boring life alone in school. It said that he was not happy at school at all, and he would only be happy when he returned to his grandmother's house.

Su Xiaomian watched it very seriously and at the same time felt very sympathetic towards Gu Jingchen's situation.

He was ostracized just because he had white hair and thus did not have a good childhood.

He was very sensible and never told his grandmother and others about being isolated at school for fear that they would worry.

She continued flipping through the pages and suddenly stopped at a diary entry. She then looked at that day's diary entry with a look of shock on her face.

That happened in the middle of his third grade.

Here are the diary entries:

The day before, I was alone on the podium, watching others with their own friends, but why didn’t I have one?

I walked all the way to the flag-raising platform, but suddenly I was bumped by someone and my head hurt so much. I touched my head and found it was covered in blood. Only then did I realize that I was hit on the corner of the flag-raising platform.

The bleeding couldn't be stopped, so the teacher sent me to the hospital and notified my grandmother.

I was lying on the operating table, almost unconscious, my hands and feet were limp. The doctor was stitching stitches on my head. It was painful but I couldn't speak.

Later I heard from my grandmother that I almost died from excessive bleeding, but fortunately it was a close call. However, I had to get several stitches on my head and no hair can grow in that area anymore.

Su Xiaomian looked at the diary and could imagine the scene where Gu Jingchen's white hair was dyed red.

Maybe God didn't want Gu Jingchen to die and let him save his life.

Su Xiaomian felt complicated after reading it. She wondered what would happen to her now if Gu Jingchen was dead?

She calmed herself down and continued reading.

The more I read it, the more sad I feel. There are very few happy things recorded on it. Most of them are about unhappy things like being bullied.

As Su Xiaomian read on, two lines of tears fell down her cheeks and dripped onto the diary. She hurriedly tried to wipe them away, only to find that there were also many wet dots on the diary.

Obviously those were Gu Jingchen's tears.

She knew that Gu Jingchen had an unhappy childhood, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.

When he was sick in junior high school, he didn't dare tell his grandmother because he lived far away from his grandfather's house at that time, and he was the only one attending the parent-teacher meeting.

He could tell his grandparents, but they were old and he didn't want to trouble them anymore.

Perhaps because of the influence of such an environment, he became very sensible at a very young age and used loneliness to hide his inner sadness.

Su Xiaomian was a little dazed. She sat at the desk without saying a word, just staring blankly.

"Senior?"

Gu Jingchen had already made the bed. He walked to the door of the study, knocked gently, and walked in with a smile.

He soon noticed that there was some reflection on Su Xiaomian's cheeks, which were two faint tear marks.

Seeing Su Xiaomian crying, Gu Jingchen felt nervous and hurried to ask Su Xiaomian what was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaomian stood up and hugged Gu Jingchen, gently stroked his hair and said:

"Junior, you can be yourself as long as I am here."

Gu Jingchen was a little stunned, but soon he started laughing. He put his hands around Su Xiaomian's waist and hugged her tightly.

"Senior, when I'm with you, I'm always myself."

There is a dangerous thing living in the hearts of Gu Jingchen and Su Xiaomian, and they need an antidote to cure their "illness".

The only antidote is the love of the one you love for yourself.

There is less and less true love in society, not because there are more and more people who don’t take relationships seriously.

How many people cherish a relationship like them?

"Senior, do you want to see the wound on my head?" Gu Jingchen asked seriously.

Su Xiaomian nodded. Since she chose Gu Jingchen, she would accept his imperfect side.

Gu Jingchen turned around and turned the back of his head towards Su Xiaomian.

Su Xiaomian reached out and gently parted Gu Jingchen's hair, and soon she saw a scar.

But because of the hair, it can't be seen from the outside.

Su Xiaomian looked at the scar and for some reason felt like being pricked by a needle in her heart.

Su Xiaomian didn't believe that after falling in love, one could feel the pain of the other person from their wounds. But now she began to believe it.

Gu Jingchen laughed softly, turned around and gently pinched Su Xiaomian's face.

"Senior, when you are unhappy, I will also be unhappy."

As he spoke, Gu Jingchen stretched out his other hand and slightly lifted the corner of Su Xiaomian's mouth.

He showed a smile that was unclear whether it was a smile or a wry smile.

"Well, smiling suits you better."
