For Gu Bei, there were two things in the summer vacation of the year he graduated from middle school, which he will always remember fresh.

Firstly, because of Xu Jingyan, he made up his mind to go to that strange city far away from the capital, and secondly, because the old housekeeper was getting old, he asked Xu Jingyan to resign when he graduated.

In fact, this incident had already been foreshadowed. After all, by the time Gu Bei graduated, the old housekeeper was already in his seventies.He has been working all his life, got married in his 40s, and had his first child in his late 20s. In the next [-] years, his focus was almost all on work, and he owed a lot to his family.Now that the child was about to get married, and Gu Bei happened to be an adult, the old butler wanted to retire and resign to compensate his family for the rest of his life.

Regarding this matter, since the old steward proposed it, Xu Jingyan and Gu Bei would definitely not refuse.

When the old housekeeper came to Gu Bei when they were in the most difficult time, he took good care of them without any complaints. It was the same for the next eight years. He treated Gu Bei very well and treated him like his own child. Now that he made such a request, the old housekeeper Obviously, he has also gone through a very violent struggle.

People tend to be more unwilling to experience parting when they get old, so before the old housekeeper left, Gu Bei didn't show the slightest bit of reluctance. He seemed heartless to accompany the old housekeeper to prepare all kinds of gifts every day. Let him take it home, as if this is just a normal vacation for the old housekeeper, no different from the past.

Xu Jingyan wanted to prepare a house for the old housekeeper's child as a wedding gift in the capital, but was rejected by the old housekeeper. Let the housekeeper and partner enjoy family fun there.

On the day the old housekeeper left, no one sent him off, saying that he wanted to drive away by himself.Xu Jingyan hailed the car and carried his luggage up for him. When the luggage was placed, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and saw Gu Bei waving at the old housekeeper upstairs.

The faces on the tall buildings may appear blurry to ordinary people, but they are extremely clear in Xu Jingyan's eyes.

He could see Gu Bei lying by the window, shaking his hands vigorously, he didn't seem to be sad at all, but the expression on his face gradually dimmed.

The door opened, Xu Jingyan withdrew his gaze, and helped the old butler to board the suspension car.

Before boarding the car, the old housekeeper still didn't forget to turn his head and wave to Gu Bei. After waving for a long time, he got into the car.

"If you need anything in the future, you can find me." With the car door closed, Xu Jingyan slightly bent over and leaned against the car window and said, "You know my private number. It will always be open to you and your family."

The old butler was holding a stack of gifts that Gu Bei had chosen for him. He looked down at the big and small bags, as if he could see Gu Bei when he was twelve or thirteen years old through the gifts.

Then, the old housekeeper turned to Xu Jingyan and said, "I don't have any other wishes, sir."

After finishing speaking, the old butler looked at Gu Bei who was lying upstairs by the window again, with a bit of deep reluctance and helplessness on his aged cheeks: "But Xiaobei has not smiled happily for several months. pass."

Then he looked at Xu Jingyan: "You are the same, aren't you?"

Xu Jingyan paused.

"I don't have any other wishes." After saying that, the old housekeeper repeated again: "You and Xiao Bei are safe and happy for the rest of their lives, which is already my greatest wish."

The old butler still didn't know what happened between the two of them, but after the past six months, every time he looked back at Beiwangui, Xu Jingyan was either worried or went out to look for him.

The old butler felt that with such a reaction, no matter what happened between them, it shouldn’t be inexplicable. Even if Xu Jingyan didn’t allow him to tell Gu Bei every time, the old butler still believed that with the passage of time Over time, they should think about the past.

After finishing speaking, the old housekeeper took another look at him and Gu Bei until the hover car drove away.

As the vehicle got farther and farther away, Xu Jingyan stood there for a while, the few words that the old housekeeper said repeatedly lingering in his ears.

He said that Xiaobei hadn't smiled happily for several months.

Then say, so does he.

He knew why Gu Bei was unhappy, but why was he?

A series of memories fell in his mind like snowflakes, Xu Jingyan stood like this for an unknown amount of time, feeling a gust of wind blowing by his ears.

He thought of something, turned around again, only to find that the person waving in the tall building had already withdrawn his hand, and he was no longer by the window. No matter how Xu Jingyan looked at it, he could no longer capture the information about Gu Bei in that window. A star and a half.

So he looked away and walked slowly back home.

The door of Gu Bei's room on the first floor was tightly closed, with no intention of opening it.

Xu Jingyan stared at the door for a long time, all kinds of emotions in Mo Se's eyes tossed and turned, and finally, he walked back to his room without saying anything.

Although the old butler usually had little movement at home, without his home, the temperature suddenly dropped, as if announcing that the last connecting line between him and Gu Bei was slowly loosening.

In the future, Gu Bei will choose to study in another place. With such a strong thrust of time, those past events will one day be overshadowed.

Xu Jingyan somehow didn't want it to be overshadowed at all.

But what can he do?

He knew Gu Bei when he was three years old, and watched him grow up by his side, and it was the same for Gu Bei. After he was 12 years old, Xu Jingyan clearly understood that the largest proportion of the latter's world must be himself. .

Such an existence must be extremely important to each other, but it is precisely because it is extremely important that it can affect many things.

Gu Bei is still young and hasn't seen the bigger world yet. He may not have thought about what the relationship between them will be like when the avalanche comes in the future.

Maybe he didn't think about it, if one day he saw a bigger world and stopped for the latter, what would happen to this feeling that was too deeply influenced by his youth.

As for Xu Jingyan himself.

He admitted that he was unwilling to have such a rigid relationship with Gu Bei, and also admitted that he cared about Gu Bei's feelings very much, and he didn't want him to just go to that city far away from him.

He can admit all of these, but he doesn't know how much this "unwillingness" has been affected by their years of relationship.

However, Gu Bei only left him one way.

Xu Jingyan was in the room, and the official business in front of him was pushed away piece by piece, but he rarely read a word.

After one minute and one second, the time finally reached six o'clock. He went downstairs to cook a bowl of noodles for Gu Bei, and brought it to the door. Hearing the silence inside, he raised his hand and put it down again.

Finally, he put the bowl of noodles in the incubator.

Day by day, Gu Beilu received admission letters from many universities one after another, including of course the university he had chosen in order to leave the capital.

Gu Bei looked at the notice of the university for a long time, but his eyes still could not help but drift to the notice of Capital University.

He had been in the capital for eight years, and he didn't feel that he had a deep affection for this place on weekdays, but when he was about to leave, all kinds of emotions suddenly came to his heart.

The notification letter will not come to the stage of student selection until all colleges in the federation have been issued.During the period when Gu Bei was waiting for the notice, he sometimes went to find the old housekeeper, and sometimes he would hang out with his friends. When he was bored, he would go to various welfare institutions in the capital to do volunteer work.

He hoped to keep himself busy, so that the opportunities to get along with Xu Jingyan would naturally become less and less, and thus, he would become more accustomed to the life of going away completely in the future.

Xu Jingyan didn't care about his busyness in the slightest, and occasionally when the two met at home, they both tacitly kept silent.

The day of school selection is approaching, Gu Bei and his friends make an appointment for a long trip.

He wanted to simulate a life without Xu Jingyan more and more, so he deliberately left suddenly, but when he arrived at the destination, he still couldn't help sending Xu Jingyan a message, telling him where he was and when he would go back.

That date is the day before school selection.

After the message was sent, Xu Jingyan did not reply.

So during the next week-long journey, Gu Bei would be distracted from time to time, and he was very concerned about the battery problem of his optical brain. When he heard a little sound coming from the optical brain in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but put the screen away.

He tried to put this matter aside, but he found that all attempts to let go seemed to be self-deception. In the end, he would still use various excuses and methods of self-comfort to open the dialog box with Xu Jingyan.

...It's hopeless.

Gu Bei thought.

·

During that trip, Gu Bei and his friends left very pleasant memories. They climbed high and looked far, went to many places, and had a great time.

The only fly in the ointment is that because the last stop was an extremely remote city, their flight back was affected and had to be delayed by one day.

For others, it’s okay to be late for a day, and it’s nothing more comfortable to fill out the school choice information when you go home, and then continue to rest.

But Gu Bei was different.

He spent the whole day extremely absent-minded, looking at the light brain over and over again.

A few times, he was almost about to send their late messages to Xu Jingyan, but before clicking the send button, he deleted the long-edited text one by one.

He thought at the time that in the rest of his life, there would never be a time as long as that day.

And after such torment, Gu Bei suddenly discovered that he was actually very afraid that he would not even have the chance to meet Xu Jingyan once before he filled in the school choice information.

And this kind of fear meant that even though he knew it was impossible, he was always looking forward to a different turning point between them.

Even until the last moment.

·

The next day, the flight took off on time, and Gu Bei arrived downstairs at 06:30 in the evening.

Thinking of starting to fill in the school selection information at eight o'clock, Gu Bei was downstairs, looking at the familiar street, smelling the familiar atmosphere, and the thoughts in his heart could not be expressed in thousands of words.

Pushing open the door of the house, smelling the same cold atmosphere inside, and seeing the dim light in the living room, Gu Bei's heart stabbed slowly and sharply.

He stood there for 2 minutes, finally sniffed lightly, and walked in silently carrying the suitcase. Just as his heart was falling, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that the door of Xu Jingyan's room on the second floor was open. .

The other party came out from inside, wearing casual clothes, standing in the corridor on the second floor, his eyes fell directly on Gu Bei.

The sight was extremely intense, so intense that Gu Bei couldn't tell what kind of emotion was inside for a while.

With the light from the bedroom behind Xu Jingyan, Gu Bei thought he could see clearly, but he didn't dare.

After standing there for a while, Gu Bei lowered his head and took the things back to his room without saying a word.

The distance from the porch to his room was only a dozen or so steps, but Gu Bei had a very hard time walking that day. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally entered his room and closed the door tightly.

Cowed in the room for half an hour, at [-]:[-], Gu Bei couldn't bear the stickiness on his body after the journey, so he ran out to take a shower.

After taking a bath, he left the bathroom at 45:[-]. He wanted to go back to the room directly, but when he passed the restaurant, he found that the light in the restaurant was on and there was a sound coming from inside.

Gu Bei didn't expect Xu Jingyan to eat so late, he was slightly taken aback.

After he was in a daze for a moment, Xu Jingyan came out from the back of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand.

Then put the bowl gently on the dining table.

The aroma of pasta came from the bowl, and Gu Bei knew what it was, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, for a period of time, Gu Bei especially loved the noodles that Xu Jingyan made for him, which were light and flavorful.

But since he grew up a little bit, Xu Jingyan was busy with his career, so he didn't have much time to do it for him.

It was made suddenly at this moment, and Gu Bei's stomach that didn't want to eat because of the exhaustion of running around all day, woke up in an instant, and began to cry for food.

With the hot noodles right in front of him, Gu Bei's stomach was pretty good, and he didn't make any spineless noises.But Xu Jingyan pushed the noodles in his direction as if he could see through him.

Then say, "Come and eat."

After the three words fell, the tip of Gu Bei's nose couldn't help but feel sore.

Finally, under Xu Jingyan's gaze, he walked forward slowly.After sitting down, he didn't say any unnecessary words, he just lowered his head and obediently ate the noodles mouthful after mouthful.

The noodles were delicious, exactly the same as in memory, but Gu Bei couldn't recall the joyful mood he had when he ate them before.

He just bit down one bite after another, and at the end, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyes gently.Gu Bei didn't cry, but his eyes were inexplicably uncomfortable.

Seeing his series of actions, Xu Jingyan still didn't say anything.

In the restaurant, there was only the slight sound of Gu Bei eating.

At eight o'clock, the alarm clock set for filling in the school selection information rang, breaking the small noise.

At the same time that Gu Bei paused for two seconds and reached out to reach the optical brain, Xu Jingyan on the other end finally spoke.

"Are you sure you're going there?" he said.

Gu Bei's outstretched hand froze slightly, and the alarm clock was still ringing.

Amidst the repeated voice prompts, Gu Bei stopped for half a minute.

Noodles was by his side, and Xu Jingyan was also by his side, and the school selection information was still urging him to fill in.

Suddenly he couldn't help turning his head back, betting on his last bit of hope and courage, met Xu Jingyan's eyes, and asked him: "Do you want me to go?"

Xu Jingyan at the other end looked at the pair of wet eyes reflected by the overhead light in the restaurant.

After a long time, he sighed and reached out to stroke Gu Bei's head.

"do not wish."
