where is it

Two years later.

Wen Jiajia suddenly stopped at the door of the house with her small schoolbag on her back, turned her head and looked at Gu Li and Annie with complicated eyes.Gu Li and Annie squatted on the ground, their backs suddenly paused and their breathing stagnated, and cold sweat oozes from their backs, for fear that the child would repent and refuse to take the school bus by himself.

"So if I bravely go to school today, Annie, will you make me cereal yogurt?" Wen Jiajia asked seriously.

"I will definitely baby, I can eat it when you come back." Annie replied immediately, and then said: "Honey, if Tom next door said he would bring you back by bike after school, you... um... I mean, you You can refuse him tactfully, after all, the school is still a bit far away from home, and I am a little worried about his skills. Okay, baby, let's go."

This day was Wen Jiajia’s first day in elementary school. Although the initial results were achieved after more than half a year of treatment, the encounter with the man wearing cloth shoes still stimulated the painful memory in Wen Jiajia’s heart, and she went to kindergarten intermittently. Bian has been in rehabilitation training for more than a year, and the time to go to elementary school has also been postponed.

Wen Jiajia's lack of fluent English and fear of the new primary school environment have made her cry for more than a month, sometimes full of confidence, sometimes cowardly, Annie and Gu Li couldn't laugh or cry.

On the first night of school, Annie fell asleep with Jiajia in her arms. The child woke up suddenly and asked, "Annie, is the difference between primary school and kindergarten that we are all older children?" Jiajia asked Annie in rudimentary English. .Since she came to America, she has always called Annie by her first name, but she has always called Gu Li by her father.

"Yes, so you will study and play together, and have your own life at school every day, instead of Annie and Papa Gu making arrangements for you." Annie stroked Jiajia's hair and said, and the child fell asleep after a while caught.

Annie went downstairs and saw Gu Li in a daze in the kitchen.

Gu Li came back to his senses and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Well, don't worry, Jiajia is very brave." Annie hesitated to speak, raising her eyes to look at Gu Li from time to time.

"Honey, how long have you been out of contact?" Annie patted Gu Li's back lightly.

Gu Li squeezed out a forced smile and didn't speak.

Since the last appointment, Gu Li has not returned to Luocheng in the past two years.Probably only God knows, Gu Li's heart hovered over that warm neighborhood in Luocheng every day, searching for the figure of that person, but he couldn't find it.

He guarded Wen Jiajia and Annie and did not leave.Jiajia's loss of control that time made Gu Li very scared. He was afraid that the wounds that were about to heal would plant the root of disease in the child's psychology. He wanted to give Jiajia a complete family.

As he passed by, he forgot the time, and it was impossible to ask that person for forgiveness again.

Gu Li didn't give him any explanation, because he knew that Ye Qingzhou knew the reason why Gu Li didn't get on that plane better than anyone else.

In the past two years, Gu Li sent Ye Qingzhou pictures of Wen Jiajia and brief recent situations intermittently. Ye Qingzhou never replied, and his circle of friends also blocked him. Gu Li and Ye Qingzhou didn't have much in common in China. My friend, occasionally asked about Ye Qingzhou's news from Liu Tong, and the answer he got was that it was fine, normal, there was no major case, and he had never heard of a relationship.

Once upon a time, "What are you doing?" was the most frequent sentence that Gu Li popped out of his fingertips when he sent messages to Ye Qingzhou.

At this time, "What is he doing?" is the most irrelevant thing in this world to Gu Li.

Wen Jiajia’s first day of elementary school life was very fulfilling. She was a child who didn’t talk much, but she also made new friends in twos and threes. When she came back, she told Annie about it. Annie was whipping cream in her hand while watching the stove. Wen Jiajia chased after her as she was busy back and forth in the kitchen, fearing that she would miss every detail.

Gu Li was sitting on the steps of the stairs, with a smile on his mouth, took a picture of this warm scene, and sent it to Ye Qingzhou, attaching: Jiajia's first day in elementary school, everything is fine.He knew that Ye Qingzhou would not reply, but he did not receive any messages blocked by the other party after sending messages over the years, which meant that he could see them, so even if there was no response, Gu Li would still send them.

Apart from posting pictures of Jia Jia, he never mentioned anything about himself, but he often wrote on the screen: I miss you very much, how are you.But it was never sent out.Today he wrote this sentence again, but as usual, he deleted it word by word.So what, it's not that he can't go back, but that they may never go back.

Gu Li walked back to his room on the third floor, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Qingzhou's duty list of that year pasted on the wall. His longing instantly covered his entire body, making it difficult for him to breathe.The man's palm and hairline were once in his palm, he was lying on his side, and the evening sun shone into the room, as if he saw the man lying firmly beside him, with clear eyes and fair skin, looking at Gu Li with a smile. After waking up, Gu Li found that the surrounding was empty, and touched the cool bed sheet with his fingers.

At this time, longing would crawl over every inch of Gu Li's skin like poison, and the tears in the corners of his eyes could not be held back, he did not allow himself to be vulnerable.

Luocheng.

It was early in the morning when Ye Qingzhou received Gu Li's message. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiajia and Annie who were running and laughing in the kitchen on his mobile phone. Seeing "the other party is typing" on the screen, my heart throbbed.

After 1 minute, the screen returned to calm again, and no news came.Ye Qingzhou closed her eyes, put her phone aside, and got up.

He walked into the room where Gu Li used to live, turned on the light, and seemed to see Gu Li looking back at him, the way they made the bed and put on the quilt together on the first day he came here, and he heard Gu Li's hearty laughter: "So you're the police uncle!"

Ye Qingzhou walked to the living room and saw the unopened courier from the United States on the table.He knows what it is without dismantling it.Ever since the missed appointment at the airport, Gu Li didn't know what was wrong with his mind. He would send a bottle of ginger shampoo to Ye Qingzhou from the United States every month. the meaning of.

Ye Qingzhou immediately turned around and saw Gu Li sitting on the sofa again, staring at himself watching TV and said: "Qingzhou, I said I might like you, did you hear me?"

In a daze, Gu Li got up and went to the yard, cursing: "You know how to order me to collect clothes and hang them, do I owe you rent?"

Ye Qingzhou turned her head and saw another self leaning against the wall, holding a glass of water and looking at Gu Li's back with addicted eyes, Ye Qingzhou had never seen such a self.When did he fall in love with Gu Li, he himself couldn't explain clearly, and only then did he suddenly understand.

The night outside the window was dark, and the community was quiet and comfortable. The early morning wind wafted the scent of fragrance, which was a sign of the revival of plants. However, the sound and sound in the house suddenly became silent, and the man never came back.

Ye Qingzhou returned to the bed, the sheets and quilt cover had changed back to gray and white stripes because of Gu Li's departure.

He was lying on his side, as if he saw Gu Li's face appearing in front of his eyes when he woke up from the wrong bed for the first time on New Year's Eve, his heartbeat was pounding heavily on his chest, he looked at Gu Li's illusory face and wondered what to do. Say good morning or good night, and gently close your eyes.
