To Gu Cheng'an, this way of speaking is really too unfamiliar.With just this sentence, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart.

It seems that since the day we met, he has regretted it.I regretted my timidity, and regretted why I didn't come back desperately that year, even if I lost everything, I didn't want to be placed in a position that was almost the same as a stranger like now.

When he was abroad in those years, he imagined countless times what Lu Youxi would be like without him. friend.

Is he no longer needed?Gu Chengan didn't dare to ask himself.

After the sound of his arms, he let go of his strength, and leaned against the gray stone wall, thinking about something with his head hanging down.He was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Lu Youxi didn't say anything, she just stood up and picked up the vegetable sauce bottle that rolled aside and patted it, checked and found that there was no leakage, so she was relieved, and then said in a soft voice: "Let's go, Let's go back."

The way back after this embarrassing disturbance was quieter than when we came.The car stereo was broadcasting tomorrow's weather, saying that the light snow would continue until the next morning.

After all, it was winter, and before going back halfway, it was getting dark.Although there were not many cars on the road, the road was still hard to see with the lights on.

Lu Youxi couldn't help feeling a little anxious, he wanted to go back early, but he couldn't say anything.

It's just that even if you don't talk about the feeling of anxiety, Gu Cheng'an can't feel it.But the snow under the snow is really not suitable for driving fast no matter from which level.

The ground was wet and slippery, and there were many cars. After finally entering the urban area, it was blocked on the road again.The distance from the rear to the front and rear cannot be seen, so the wait for a traffic light is lengthened several times.

After 7 o'clock, the traffic flow still hasn't changed much.Gu Cheng'an also began to feel a little hungry. He watched the people next to him looking sideways out of the window and didn't speak. He had no choice but to open his mouth: "How about going to eat something first?"

Lu Youxi then turned around, glanced at the other party, then lowered her eyes and thought for two seconds, and replied helplessly: "Okay."

Relying on the traffic light is the entrance to the parking lot of the shopping mall next door, Gu Cheng'an turned the steering wheel and entered the second queue.

There are quite a lot of people in the commercial building, and the parking lot on the entire third floor is full of cars. The black SUV turned suddenly and went down the third basement floor to barely find a parking space.

The food street on the fourth and fifth floors was full of people, and there was a long queue in front of each restaurant. Lu Youxi checked the display screens for floor introductions several times, but he didn't seem to find anything he wanted to eat.In the end, he just tilted his head and said softly to Gu Cheng'an: "Eat whatever you want, okay?"

When Gu Chengan heard him speak, he naturally wouldn't object, but just followed behind silently.

Looking at the straight and slender back of the person in front, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that time flies so fast.

Lu Youxi went around and around, and finally went into a fake vegetable shop as Gu Chengan expected.Although Lu Youxi ordered casually for the two of them in the past, but now the relationship is different after all, and what should be polite should be polite.He checked a few dishes, then pushed the menu towards Gu Cheng'an, and said, "Do you want to add anything?"

There were six or seven dishes selected, and Gu Chengan calculated that he had been hungry all day, so he added two more bowls of rice and some vegetables before passing them to the waiter.

The waiter looked at the menu and checked with the two of them one by one, and then asked: "Are you sure you want all spicy? Our spicy is a bit heavy."

Without even thinking about it, Gu Chengan replied directly: "It's all spicy."

Lu Youxi, who had been looking at his phone all the time, raised his head to look at the person opposite, only to hear the person opposite looked at him and smiled and added: "It's okay, I can eat."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and thought about it, then suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to follow me like this."

"Huh?" Gu Cheng'an couldn't react for a while, and he quickly explained: "I just, can eat now."

The tone of the second half of the sentence weakened, and he took a deep breath, but finally returned to silence.

On the contrary, Lu Youxi leaned back towards the back of the chair, looked at Gu Cheng'an with a slightly curved mouth and said, "You look like I'm scary."

"That's not true," Gu Cheng'an immediately denied. To be honest, he also felt that his state after meeting Lu Youxi was too abnormal. He hadn't found him for so many years, and even tried to give up the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. It always felt a little unreal.

He looked at Lu Youxi's face and said in a low voice, "It just feels a little unreal."

"Really?" Lu Youxi looked at the other party, and didn't avoid his direct eyes, but just replied softly: "I also think it's unreal. After all, it's been so long, it's normal."

Such an attitude, such a way of speaking, Gu Cheng'an can't count how many times he has appeared today, which made him feel really at a loss.

Fortunately, during this moment of silence, Gu Cheng'an suddenly called. He went out to answer it for a few minutes and then came back. He saw the maocai that he had ordered earlier steaming hot on the table.

When Lu Youxi saw him move his chopsticks when he came back, the two of them turned the topic back to what they saw and heard today, occasionally chatting about the folk customs here, and occasionally talking about history.This made Gu Chengan feel a little more relaxed.

When the two drove out again, the traffic jam on the road had already been cleared.Gu Cheng'an drove unhappily all the way, and it only took about 20 minutes to reach the gate of the community.

He followed Lu Youxi in half a step behind, and the people in front noticed it and did not object.

But when he could vaguely see the door of Uncle Cao's shop, Lu Youxi's footsteps stopped, and he turned around and asked Gu Cheng'an, "Are you going to stay until tomorrow?"

"That's what I thought," Gu Cheng'an replied truthfully, "However, I just called and said that the company is in a hurry, so I should rush back soon."

After hearing this, Lu Youxi didn't comment, but said politely: "Then you pay attention to safety, you can send it here, go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, but he didn't want to be caught up by Gu Cheng'an in two steps, and grabbed his wrist.

He looked back wonderingly, only to see Gu Cheng'an said a little nervously: "Youxi, can we still be friends?"

Lu Youxi smiled slightly, his eyes full of calmness: "There's nothing wrong with this, if you want to be friends, just be friends. After all, it's an acquaintance, not an enemy."

Hearing this, Gu Chengan became clearer, opened his mouth, and spoke for a long time before saying: "Then can you give me your phone number or WeChat?"

The mobile phone in his pocket was taken out, and a QR code interface was handed over.Lu Youxi looked at him and said, "Add it."

After exchanging contact information like strangers they met on the street, they turned around and walked towards the shop as soon as they said "goodbye", while the one who was left couldn't help looking at each other with corners of their mouths bent After returning, he walked out and drove again.

When Lu Youxi entered the door, Uncle Cao was still doing the final cleaning at the door. Seeing Lu Youxi came back, he immediately asked happily, "Where did you go in the afternoon?"

"The ancient village in the east." Lu Youxi replied with a smile.

When Uncle Cao heard this, he didn't even bother to wipe the door, and quickly said: "Hey, it's fun over there, last time Shanshan and the others said they didn't have time to go."

At this mention, Lu Youxi remembered the purpose of coming back this time: "Uncle, what does Shanshan want from me?"

"Hey, it's not her." Uncle Cao's voice suddenly became quieter, and he quietly waved Lu Youxi out, saying, "It's me. Hey, this girl, isn't she going to graduate soon? She was outside before The company did a good internship and didn't say he was unhappy, so he suddenly discussed with me and said he wanted to come back and help me."

Uncle Cao sighed: "What do you think she can do when she comes back? This city is small, and she stays here every day just for me? Isn't it for nothing to study for so many years?"

After listening, Lu Youxi understood, but it's not that he didn't understand Shanshan's thoughts: "Maybe Shanshan is worried about your health?"

"Tsk," Uncle Cao said, "It's been five years since it's been fine, so why are there so many problems?"

After finishing speaking, Uncle Cao gave Lu Youxi a wink, and said in a low voice, "Go up and help me persuade her. If you really let her come back, it's not worth it, huh? You grew up in a big city, and you are outside After studying, you are more convincing than me. Listen to uncle and help persuade me."

Seeing Uncle Cao's white hair and worried look, Lu Youxi finally responded, turned around and walked slowly to the second floor of the store.

The snow outside has not stopped, and the estimated time of arrival on the mobile phone navigation has changed from four hours to six hours.

Gu Chengan held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, listened to the current affairs report on the radio, carefully controlled the speed and drove back along the right lane.

At this time, even if the big car stopped driving due to the weather, it couldn't stop the small car that was in a hurry to go home.

The sight distance of the road was really low, so he had to switch between the high and low beams and walked forward.From time to time, cars pass by in the left lane.

As soon as the bell rang, the assistant's phone came in. He glanced at it, and then switched on the speakerphone. The person on the other side immediately asked, "Mr. Gu, are you still on the way now?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Gu Chengan stared at the road ahead without turning his head back.

"The United States has changed the time. They said that the meeting was changed to the afternoon. They said that they saw the weather forecast here. If the road conditions are bad, please don't rush back." The female voice on the phone sounded A noise with some signal.

Gu Cheng'an glanced at the navigation after listening, and still replied: "Tomorrow morning, the road surface may be condensed and it will be even worse. I know, you should take a rest."

"Then you pay attention to safety." The assistant said.

The phone was cut off, and the navigation sound echoed in the car again, and the cold mechanical female voice reminded, "It's minus one degree now, please pay attention to the road and driving safety." '

But before he finished the precautions, he saw a dazzling light flashing on the left door mirror, and he subconsciously clenched the steering wheel with both hands.

That ray of light quickly came to the right, speeding on this big curve that slanted to the left.The driver of the big car behind put on the brakes in a hurry, and only heard the sound of iron screeching, and saw the car quickly flew out from the right lane, doubled and mounted on the guardrail on one side, and then made a loud noise. sound.
