Chapter 6, Blooming

Hearing such tender words of love from Chen Qiaoluo's lips once again, my heart suddenly felt as if it were filled with blooming flowers across the mountains and fields

In the end, his voice was somewhat anxious

The rebellion and resentment of youth

After spending a meal together, I finally understood why my father likes her. In fact, it's not just my father; even I, as a girl, can't help but almost fall in love with her. Although Aunt Shen is in her thirties, her personality is like that of a little girl. And this temperament does not seem to be put on at all.

Chen Qiaoluo glanced at the vendor beside him and said, "Let's buy some too"

I was taken aback for a moment, then I smiled at him and said, "Alright, I will convey your message."

The situation regarding Chen Qiaoluo is quite difficult to handle. I asked my father to help inquire about it, but the information received consistently indicates that someone is deliberately trying to frame him, yet there is no evidence to prove that he has not committed any wrongdoing

After finishing this statement, I left without hesitation, yet only I knew that with each step I took, my heart was continuously bleeding.

Aunt He Pei has lost a significant amount of weight in just a few days due to the situation with Chen Qiaoluo. Every time I see her, her eyes are red; she always blames herself for not having taken good care of Chen Qiaoluo, which has led him to become what he is now. Guilt and worry have overwhelmed her, and within a few days, she fell ill and was confined to bed.

If he were still here, we would definitely order a lot of food and then scold each other for being reincarnated as starving ghosts

Ten seconds have passed

When I reached the intersection, I could no longer hold back and collapsed in tears, squatting alone at the street corner

He said: "Zhu Jun, thank you."

Seeing me silent, Guyu did not say anything further

In an instant, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, standing there in a daze, while my phone slipped from my palm and fell to the ground with a thud

At eleven o'clock, Chen Qiaoluo called me. As soon as I answered, I heard him say: "Zhu Jun, there will be New Year's Eve fireworks at Times Square tonight. Would you like to go watch them with me?"

My response left Gu Yu silent for a moment. After a while, he turned back to look at me and said, half-seriously and half-jokingly: "But what should I do, Zhu Junhao? I think I might have developed a bit of a liking for you."

"Yes, yes, yes, it is all my fault. It is I who have made you, Miss, feel sad." Chen Qiaoluo echoed my words, suddenly raising her head to look at me seriously and said, "Junhao, please forgive me."

Such a family gathering has unexpectedly moved me to the point of tears, as such scenes have only appeared in my dreams, and I never imagined that one day they would come true

I stayed in the hospital for over a week, during which Chen Qiaoluo did not show up at all. However, Gu Yu came to visit twice. I expressed my gratitude to him, but he smiled and declined, saying: "Zhu Jun is well, your serious illness is actually partly my responsibility; if you say that, aren't you just belittling me?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of us couldn't help but burst into laughter

I nodded and saw him pay for two lamps and two pens that he brought over

Li Zi called me to wish me a Happy New Year before having dinner, as cheerful as ever

"Zhu Jun, you really are shameless. Give you a little color and you can open a dye shop." Gu Yu looked at me with amusement

I walked down, and Chen Qiaoluo was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. Upon seeing me come out, he smiled at me and said, "Let's go."

After listening to what I said, Chen Qiaoluo fell silent for two seconds, then spoke again: "So what? You like Guyu, even if he uses you to provoke me, when faced with his confession, can you remain indifferent?"

My words rendered Chen Qiaoluo silent

His words made me unable to help but look at him, yet he seemed unaware of what he was thinking, his gaze fixed straight ahead, saying: "You have done so much for Chen Qiaoluo, merely out of a sense of friendship, which is rather hard to believe."

I nodded vigorously. In fact, I have often thought about what Gu Yu said to me on that day over the past few days, those words that were somewhat like a confession. However, I cannot tell Chen Qiaoluo about this; I can only keep it silently in my heart.

Chen Qiaoluo seems unwilling to avoid me, as he sat down with a girl not far from me.

In mid-December, I returned to school, but it seemed as if Chen Qiaoluo had disappeared; even his classmates had no idea of his whereabouts. Sometimes I would run into Gu Yu at school, and he would always stop to smile at me. We never mentioned anything that had happened on that rainy day, as if we were two old friends with an unspoken understanding

Chen Qiaoluo walked up to the boss with that girl, and I couldn't hear what they were saying. After a short while, he turned his face and looked over at me. The moment he saw me, his expression changed slightly, and there was a depth in his gaze

I came to find you for a matter. I smiled and asked, "Do you have time to talk?"

I forced a smile, mocking myself inwardly for my own self-inflicted suffering

"Why is it not okay? My daughter is so beautiful, what's so strange about having a boyfriend?" Dad said to Aunt Shen, feeling unconvinced.

Seeing the two of them arguing about whether I should talk about having a boyfriend made me feel somewhat amused. Over the years, I have never seen such a lively father; he is full of energy.

At this moment, there are still a few minutes until the arrival of the New Year. The two of us sat in silence, each lost in our own thoughts.

As soon as Dad finished speaking, Aunt Shen also reminded, "When you come back, call your dad to have him pick you up. It's the New Year, and it's somewhat unsafe for a girl to be out alone. Did you hear that?"

I nodded, and tears almost burst forth uncontrollably again

My tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes, and I shook my head vigorously at her, crouching down to pick up my phone. Aunt He Pei on the other end of the line had not yet hung up, and I choked out the question: "Aunt He Pei, where is Chen Qiaoluo now?"

I did not speak again and walked out of the house with a smile. Perhaps it would be better to give the two of them some space at this time

Jun is indeed beautiful, but at this age, it is still important to prioritize academics. Aunt Shen was somewhat speechless and said, Look at you, every day you are just thinking about these trivial matters

I have not mentioned Aunt He Pei to Chen Qiaoluo. Whenever he asks about her, I always tell him that Aunt He Pei is doing well and is out there trying to find a way to rescue him.

I also smiled and jokingly said, "Young Master Gu suddenly confessed his feelings to me, I am quite flattered."

When Chen Qiaoluo and I arrived, the square was already crowded with people, all holding Kongming lanterns in their hands

I did not respond to him, but directly pulled that girl up from beside him

These days, I have been dreaming of Chen Qiaoluo almost every night. In my dreams, he is wearing a pure white shirt, the hem of which is gently lifted by the wind. It is a beautiful spring day with a gentle breeze, and he keeps looking at me and smiling, smiling until he gradually disappears.

Just as I was crying hysterically, someone suddenly pulled me up from the ground. Before I had a chance to react, I found myself in a warm embrace. Then, Chen Qiaoluo's voice rang in my ears. He said: "Zhu Junhao, why are you running away?"

The arrival of the Grain Rain brought new light and hope to my despair. Grain Rain informed me that he had heard about Chen Qiaoluo's situation at school, and that there happened to be a neighbor near his home who had also worked at that auto repair shop and could attest that Chen Qiaoluo had not committed those wrongdoings. He took me to find his neighbor, who also expressed a willingness to assist us in this matter

As I lowered my head, Gu Yu's voice floated over again. He said: "Zhu Jun, actually, I do not even know why I am doing this. I tell myself it is because I have come to know the truth of the matter, so I feel it is necessary to speak out. But why do I know this truth? Perhaps it is because of you. Out of concern for you, I cannot help but want to know what I can do."

As soon as I heard Chen Qiaoluo's voice, I cried even louder. I pounded his back with my hands and scolded, "Chen Qiaoluo, you are such a jerk. If I don't run, are you just going to wait to humiliate me?"

Seeing me say this, Guyu smiled gently and said, "He is quite clear in his heart; if he were sitting next to me now, who knows what I might do."

"I have never been together with Gu Yu." I interrupted him, took a deep breath, and said, "Everything is a misunderstanding on your part; Gu Yu was just using me to provoke you."

As the new semester begins, a countdown to the college entrance examination has been written on the blackboard at the back of the classroom, and I no longer act recklessly as I did before

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but cry again

I feel that my eyes have become sore and dry, and I do not know whether it is due to being smoked by cooking fumes, or because I miss the past too much, or perhaps because I am thinking of Chen Qiaoluo

The Kongming lantern, also known as the wish lantern, is a lantern on which one writes their wishes and releases it at the moment the clock strikes twelve, ensuring that their dreams will come true in the coming year

I walked out of the police station with Gu Yu, and outside, I was unaware of when the bright spring light had already filled the surroundings. I walked alongside him for quite a distance, then suddenly stopped, looked at him earnestly, and said: "Gu Yu, thank you, thank you for helping Chen Qiaoluo without holding any grudges."

"Oh, now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case." I chuckled and, in a self-indulgent manner, said, "After all, it is only natural for someone to like me, given that I am so beautiful and have such a good personality."

Well, a classmate is calling me

Between us, Chen Qiaoluo seems to have drifted far away. It was only once, on the way home as dusk fell, that he suddenly spoke up. He asked, "Zhu Junhao, do you like Chen Qiaoluo?"

I stood back to back with Chen Qiaoluo, writing down our wishes, and then held it in my hands

It turns out that losing a person can be this painful

Silence roamed freely in the air, and I did not know how long had passed when I finally heard Aunt He Pei sigh and say: "It must be that child from the Gu family. Our family has already wronged them enough, and now we have unexpectedly incurred such a great favor from him. A Luo, I think we will never be able to repay this in our lifetime."

I remained silent, merely allowing my footsteps to gradually slow down

I shook my head with a bitter smile, looking at the couples around me. In contrast to my solitary figure, I was reminded of Chen Qiaoluo.

This person may not be able to withstand being talked about. Just as I was reminiscing about the past, the figure of Chen Qiaoluo suddenly appeared before me. However, this time he was not alone; another pair of hands was tightly wrapped around his arm. I looked up and saw a heavily made-up girl leaning against him. Chen Qiaoluo seemed not to have noticed me, as he lowered his head, seemingly engaged in conversation with the girl, and before long, she was giggling uncontrollably.

After dinner, my father went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit, while Aunt Shen pulled me to the sofa to sit down and chat. She began to talk about the various people she had encountered over the years and, like a child, asked me: "Jun, at your age, you must have some girl-related secrets. I guess you must have someone you like, right?"

We are staring at each other from a distance of five meters

The fortress in my heart seemed to collapse at this moment, and I bit my lower lip tightly until the taste of blood brought me back to my senses

Seeing them so close and intimate, I was filled with anger. I suddenly recalled what Aunt Shen asked me tonight; she inquired if I had someone I liked. Strangely, the first person that came to my mind was not Gu Yu, but Chen Qiaoluo. It turns out that, unknowingly, my feelings for Chen Qiaoluo had already transformed.

It seemed he did not expect me to cry, and Chen Qiaoluo hurried over to help me wipe my tears. When his slightly rough hand brushed against my cheek, I choked out, "I believe you, no matter what, I believe you."

Seeing me like this, Guyu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He reached out and ruffled my hair, saying: "I was just kidding you, look at how scared you are."

After having eaten and drunk to our fill, my father and I sat on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala, while Aunt Shen was busy alone in the kitchen

Seeing me like this, he smiled again and said, "Let's go, the class bell is about to ring"

Chen Qiaoluo lowered his head and did not speak again

"Come on now. " Gu Yu said with a smile, "Don't think that I don't know anything. There were quite a few people in our class who confessed to you before. Every time you walked past our classroom door, there was always a group of boys by the window pointing and talking about you."

It has improved somewhat, probably because spring has arrived. Mother Gu Yu pointed to the chair beside her and said, You sit for a while, Xiao Yu has gone to buy something for me, he should be back soon

Over the years, Chen Qiaoluo has held many jobs. The police did not elaborate, only stating that someone reported his involvement in the matter.

After the meal, Aunt He Pei was clearing the dishes while Chen Qiaoluo was escorting me home. He remained silent the entire way, and just as I was about to get into the car, he suddenly said to me: "Junhao, could you please thank Gu Yu for me."

Such lies have been told several times, and continuing in this manner is not a solution.

For this New Year's Eve dinner, Aunt Shen prepared a table full of dishes, making it a rare occasion where it is not just my father and I spending the holiday in solitude

This sudden confession left me momentarily stunned there

Before long, the sound of the bell rang out from the large clock in the center of the square, and in an instant, brilliant fireworks erupted over the nearby lake, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. People lit their own sky lanterns, allowing them to soar into the sky with the wind

The words of Guyu left me in astonishment, and when I looked up in surprise, I saw him wearing an expression of calm indifference.

It seems that the situation regarding Chen Qiaoluo began to take a turn at this moment, as the neighbor went to the police station to file a report, and the investigation into Chen Qiaoluo's case was reopened

They were still whispering intimately in front of me, and I finally couldn't help but stand up and walk over to Chen Qiaoluo's table.

"Who has humiliated you?" Chen Qiaoluo released me, gripping my shoulders with his hands, compelling me to meet his gaze. A faint smile played on his face as he said, "I was so shocked by you that I hadn't even had the chance to speak, yet you, on the other hand, just ran off without a trace."

I gazed at the sky, countless sky lanterns dancing alongside the fireworks, the originally black night sky now filled with lights. I turned to Chen Qiaoluo and suddenly asked, "Chen Qiaoluo, do you think our wishes will really come true?"

This is the first time we have talked about Chen Qiaoluo in such a long time

If he were still here, at this moment we should be holding our beers and chatting happily

He said: "Jun, see you at school tomorrow"

Looking back on the various events of the past, it feels like a dream.

Just now, when I encountered Aunt He Pei outside, she explained the situation to me. This morning, while she was washing vegetables in preparation for the reunion dinner, a group of police officers suddenly burst in and took Chen Qiaoluo away without any explanation. They informed Aunt He Pei that Chen Qiaoluo had committed an offense, stating that there were irregularities at his previous workplace, and they needed to take him back to the police station for investigation

Chen Qiaoluo has started to reappear in my life. In the days leading up to the New Year, I often made plans with him, Li Zi, and Tong Xiaotian to go to the milk tea shop outside of school to review our studies. As the college entrance examination approached, the atmosphere in the school became increasingly tense, and even the winter vacation was postponed until the day before New Year's Eve.

Upon hearing this name, Chen Qiaoluo and Aunt He Pei were both taken aback. After a while, Chen Qiaoluo finally reacted and looked at me, asking: "Are you saying that my ability to come out is thanks to Guyu's help?"

After hanging up the phone, my father seemed to have heard what I said, turned his head to look at me and asked, "Daughter, are you going out to have some fun?"

You, this girl...

Seeing him like this, I immediately felt much better, but I still stubbornly said: "I don't care, it's all your fault, you made me sad."

I believe I have understood Chen Qiaoluo's meaning

"What is there to talk about?" Chen Qiaoluo looked at me with a disdainful expression, as if she had heard some joke, and said, "Zhu Junhao, what else is there for us to discuss? You are already with Gu Yu, aren't you? Why are you coming to find me now..."

I hesitated for a moment and then spoke up: "In fact, it was Guyu who truly helped you."

Is it really just a lie? Why do I always feel that there is a hint of bitterness in Gu Yu's eyes? But what does it matter? What I like is Chen Qiaoluo; Gu Yu is merely a dream I once had.

Hearing him say this, I stood up from the sofa and walked to the window to look down. Chen Qiaoluo was standing below in a bright red cotton jacket. It seemed that he sensed I was watching him, and he suddenly looked up and smiled at me, saying: "Come down quickly, I am waiting for you"

I wandered aimlessly on the street alone, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the night market street that Chen Qiaoluo and I used to frequent. The crowd here remains as numerous as ever, as if nothing has changed. Yet only I know that it is they who are eternal, while it is we who have always changed

In fact, I had suspected long before whether I had developed feelings for Chen Qiaoluo, and it was only when he encountered trouble, and I felt anxious for him, that I realized I truly liked him. The fear of losing him, the dread of not having him by my side from then on, is something that cannot be deceived; I know that Chen Qiaoluo has become a unique presence in my life.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yu suddenly asked, "Zhu Junhao, in fact, you have developed feelings for Chen Qiaoluo, haven't you?"

If he were still...

Without saying a word, Chen Qiaoluo lowered his head, and a gentle kiss landed on my forehead

I brought a considerable amount of fruit to the hospital to visit Gu Yu's mother. During that period last semester, I often appeared here, and she recognized me, greeting me with a smile: "It has been quite a long time since I last saw you."

I do not know how much time has actually passed, but Chen Qiaoluo was the first to turn his face away, as if he did not see me, and continued to speak with that girl.

The fireworks lasted for half an hour, and after they ended, the number of people in the square gradually decreased. Chen Qiaoluo glanced at me squatting on the steps and said, "Let's go, I will take you home"

This year is different from the past, as Aunt Shen has officially moved into our home. On New Year's Eve, she called me up early in the morning to go grocery shopping and buy couplets together. After returning, I helped her clean the house. Her presence made me feel a long-lost maternal love, and I listened gladly to her endless chatter

Then take care of yourself and come back early

Every New Year's Eve, Times Square in City A holds a celebration attended by thousands. I remember when I was young, my dad and mom brought me here, but after my mom left us, I have not returned here on New Year's Eve.

A nurse came to take that group of children back, and I opened my mouth to respond: "Yes, I have indeed developed feelings for Chen Qiaoluo."

This confession was even more touching than the last one. I looked at Chen Qiaoluo's face, which was so close, wanting to speak, but the words in my heart were ultimately stuck in my throat. I was too cautious; I was afraid that I only cared about him as a friend and did not truly have feelings for him.

She was taken aback and shouted at me, "Who are you?"

It seemed they did not expect me to come, and for a moment, both of them were stunned. After a while, Chen Qiaoluo finally regained composure, glanced at me lightly, and asked, "Zhu Junhao, is there something you need?"

Unlike before, this time Gu Yu's mother seems to be much better, and her face has gradually regained its luster. Hearing her say this, I placed the items on the cabinet and smiled, saying: "There have been quite a few things going on lately, so I haven't been able to visit you much. Seeing that your complexion is so rosy, you must be feeling much better, right?"

The words of Guyu left me in silence

Hearing me say this, Chen Qiaoluo lowered his head and fell silent for a while, before suddenly raising his head again, gazing deeply into my eyes and saying: "You said that if there are things you want to say, you shouldn't keep them bottled up inside. So, Zhu Jun, I want to tell you now that these days away from you have been very painful for me, extremely painful. Every night, I toss and turn in sadness, unable to sleep. I want to find you, but I am also afraid to seek you out, so I can only hide at home and skip classes. I fear that if I see you, all the strength I have pretended to have will collapse. You see, you are so important, occupying my entire heart." Every night, I toss and turn in sadness, unable to sleep. I want to find you, but I am also afraid to seek you out, so I can only hide at home and skip classes. I fear that if I see you, all the strength I have pretended to have will collapse. You see, you are so important, occupying my entire heart.

His response made me lower my head, and I felt a sense of shame in my heart. To be honest, when Gu Yu first said those words, I was skeptical, after all, he had such deep animosity with Chen Qiaoluo, and any normal person would doubt his intentions. However, at that time, I was too anxious, so regardless of the outcome, I had to take a gamble. Fortunately, I took that risk, and fortunately, Gu Yu is a true gentleman. However, at that time, I was too anxious, so regardless of the outcome, I had to take a gamble. Fortunately, I took that risk, and fortunately, Gu Yu is a true gentleman.

I saw Chen Qiaoluo in the detention room of the police station. After two days of not seeing him, there was a bluish bruise on his chin, and his eyes were bloodshot. Upon seeing me, he seemed to have anticipated my arrival, smiled weakly, and said, "Jun, you are here."

I signaled to Aunt Shen and quickly left the store to take the call outside. As soon as I answered the phone, before I could say anything, I heard Aunt He Pei crying, struggling to catch her breath, saying: "Jun, A Luo... A Luo has had an accident."

The day that Chen Qiaoluo had the incident was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The school had a holiday on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, allowing us to prepare for the enrollment matters of the new semester. When I received Aunt He Pei's call, I was out with Aunt Shen buying items needed for the new semester. Upon seeing that it was her calling, a sense of unease immediately arose within me

Just as I was slightly distracted, I heard Aunt Shen playfully chide, "Old Zhu, how old is Junhao? Why are you encouraging her to date a boyfriend?"

It seems that I am the only one who is sad

Seeing him like this, a wave of sadness surged within me. I looked at him with some sadness and said, "Chen Qiaoluo, you guessed wrong. The person I liked has long ceased to be Gu Yu. He was merely someone who happened to appear during my dream-filled youth, and there has always been a gap between him and reality. To be honest, his confession does not bring me joy; rather, your departure makes me even sadder. Chen Qiaoluo, I say all this just to let you know that Gu Yu has never been an important person, but you are different, you are." To be honest, his confession does not bring me joy; rather, your departure makes me even sadder. Chen Qiaoluo, I say all this just to let you know that Gu Yu has never been an important person, but you are different, you are.

The sound of the girl's scream instantly drew the attention of everyone in the store, but I paid no mind and directly said to Chen Qiaoluo: "Let's talk."

Li Zi comes to the hospital to see me almost every day after school, and sometimes she brings Tong Xiao Tian along. Initially, Tong Xiao Tian and I were at odds with each other, but gradually, due to Li Zi, we have become more harmonious.

"Alright." I echoed her words, returned to my room to change my clothes, and then came out to say to them, "Dad, Aunt Shen, I'm leaving now. You two enjoy your time together at home."

It is merely a joke played by fate

Since that time, we have never mentioned Chen Qiaoluo again. However, I know that his departure is the pain I least want to confront

I squinted my eyes and said, "Actually, I came this time to express my gratitude to Chen Qiaoluo. He knows that you do not wish to see him, so he could only ask me to convey his thanks on his behalf."

Chen Qiaoluo opened the pull tab of the coconut juice in front of me and handed it to me, his eyes filled with seriousness and deep affection as he looked into mine

I suppose this may be the best outcome, whether it is the me who once liked Gu Yu or the him who currently likes me, as long as no one exposes it, everything will remain unchanged.

The investigation into Chen Qiaoluo has resumed, and he was released a week later

Seeing me say this, he smiled gently and looked at me, saying: "Although I am at odds with Chen Qiaoluo, I have never thought of ruining his life. His father caused the tragedy of my family. While I cannot control my hatred for Chen Qiaoluo, at least I understand what it means to have a clear conscience"

Chen Qiaoluo handed me the lighter, I ignited the wick, gently lifted it upwards, and the sky lantern in my hand floated away with the wind, I watched it gradually drift farther away

Aunt He Pei was overjoyed and prepared a meal at home, inviting me over. At the dining table, she continuously served me dishes and expressed her gratitude.

No need, I am just downstairs at your place

I have never been a daughter who does not understand how to adapt. It was my mother who abandoned us first; over the years, my father has raised me alone, fulfilling both the roles of father and mother. The hardships he has endured are known only to him. He has sacrificed so much for me, and now that he has found a partner with whom he can continue his journey, I can only feel happy for him. How could I possibly stand in the way of his happiness

At that moment, my father came out of the kitchen holding a fruit platter. Hearing this, he interjected forcefully and said: "Daughter, if you have someone you like, you must tell your father. Don't worry about me, I am open-minded. If you really bring your boyfriend home, I will definitely make him drink until he is completely drunk."

I have never discussed this topic with my father, and now that Aunt Shen has brought it up, I am completely taken aback

Thirty seconds have passed

As her voice fell, a sound came from the doorway. I turned my face and saw Gu Yu standing there. It seemed he did not expect me to be here; he was momentarily taken aback and then asked, "Zhu Jun, how come you are here?"

Just when I was secretly feeling relieved, Chen Qiaoluo continued, "I know it may be too difficult for you to accept me right now, but I can wait. No matter how long it takes, I can wait for you to slowly fall in love with me. If one year is not enough, then two years; if two years is not enough, then ten years; if ten years is not enough, then a lifetime. Regardless, I believe that I will eventually be able to wait for you."

It was New Year's Day when Dad brought Aunt Shen home. Earlier, he had given me a heads-up that he was bringing a friend back, and I jokingly asked him if he was going to bring me a mother. A rare flush appeared on his face. Seeing him like this, I knew my guess was correct

In the days since the start of the school term, I have been so anxious that I could hardly eat or sleep. My father, seeing me like this, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, and Aunt Shen has also come to advise me several times. However, I know that if Chen Qiaoluo is not rescued soon, once this accusation is confirmed, he will have no future left. Just thinking about this makes me tremble uncontrollably.

Aunt Shen is five years younger than my father. Although she has been married, she does not have any children. The moment she saw me, she gave me a big bear hug and praised me for being good-looking

Seeing him like this, I could no longer hold back my laughter

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I returned to school. At that time, it was snowing in City A, and it had been falling continuously since the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I wore snow boots and a down jacket that reached almost to my ankles to attend class. Li Zi complained to me that this snowfall was untimely.

My father's words made me laugh, yet I couldn't help but think of Chen Qiaoluo

Aunt Shen seemed to have noticed something was wrong with me, as she rushed out of the store and asked anxiously, "Jun, what’s wrong? What happened?"

Accompanied by Aunt Shen's playful protest, I closed the door and walked out. In an instant, the cold wind in the corridor rushed into my collar

In fact, we have made mistakes throughout this matter, and it is not a question of who forgives whom. I stopped crying and looked at him seriously, saying: "Chen Qiaoluo, I also have my faults regarding the past. Therefore, let us put this matter behind us. I only hope that in the future, there will be fewer misunderstandings between us. If there is something that can be said face to face, we must not discuss it over the phone. If there is anything you wish to express, do not keep it bottled up inside."

I never expected Guyu to find me at this time. The first thing he said upon seeing me was: "Zhu Jun, I have a way to save Chen Qiaoluo, do you believe me?"

I feel a pang of sadness as my nails have deeply dug into my flesh, yet I seem to gaze at them intently as if I were completely unaware.

It seems I understand what you want to ask, Chen Qiaoluo said: "It's about Lei Zi. I helped him with some matters for a period of time. The police had already come to take my statement, and they said that a car repair shop under Lei Zi's name had been sealed off, and many items inside were stolen. Since I had worked there for a while, I got involved as well. However, Zhu Junhao, you must believe me, I truly only learned about these matters today." The police had already come to take my statement, and they said that a car repair shop under Lei Zi's name had been sealed off, and many items inside were stolen. Since I had worked there for a while, I got involved as well. However, Zhu Junhao, you must believe me, I truly only learned about these matters today.

I forced a smile and looked at him, saying: "Chen Qiaoluo, I understand your meaning now. Let's do it this way; let us return to the best state for each other. From now on, I wish Junhao and you, Chen Qiaoluo, will no longer be friends, and even if we meet on the road in the future, I will never cast a glance in your direction."

I sat side by side with Guyu on a bench on the hospital lawn, where hospitalized children were playing, and the sunlight gently scattered all around.

Sure. I readily agreed and asked, "Where are you now? I will come to find you."

Sometimes I think this may be life, we will always lose some people, but we will also welcome a better future

The girl beside him seemed to have never anticipated that we would end up in such a situation, and she was completely stunned there.

I walked into that store alone and sat down. The owner seemed to still recognize me and, while busy, asked me: "Is Chen Qiaoluo not with you?"

I smiled and did not say anything further. After this incident, I feel that Gu Yu seems to have changed a lot towards me. However, I cannot quite articulate exactly how he has changed.

In the end, it will gradually be smoothed over by time

One minute has passed

At that moment, Chen Qiaoluo had just released his Kongming lantern into the sky. Upon hearing my question, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhu Junhao, are you a fool? This Kongming lantern is called a wish lantern, so your wish will definitely come true."
