After Pang Qian took Gu Mingxi to Shark's house, she drove back to Shengshi North City by herself. After parking the car, she got out of the car with her backpack and hummed a song to walk towards the unit door.

As he walked, a low voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qianqian."

Pang Qian was shocked and turned around and took advantage of the community street lights to see clearly that it was Gu Guoxiang.

Pang Qian hasn't seen Gu Guoxiang for many years. The last time she saw him was vaguely before the college entrance examination in the third year of high school. She chatted with Gu Mingxi in 502. Gu Guoxiang came to find Li Han and then met.

Having not seen each other for eight years, Gu Guoxiang is no longer the graceful middle-aged man in Pang Qian's memory. He has become much older, with two deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks, and his figure has become slightly fatter. No matter how you look, he looks like a man over fifty years old.

"Uncle Gu...Uncle?" Pang Qian looked at him with some caution, "Are you here to find my parents? They are upstairs."

"No, Qianqian, I'm here to find you." Gu Guoxiang walked closer to Pang Qian, thought for a while, and simply asked straight to the point, "Qianqian, is Mingxi back?"

As they were getting closer, Pang Qian could see the age spots on Gu Guoxiang's face and the newly grown white hair under his dyed hair. He took out a cigarette and lit it. His eyes narrowed slightly behind the lenses, and asked again: "Qianqian, tell me, is Mingxi back?"

Pang Qian was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Well, he is back."

"Why didn't he come to me?" Gu Guoxiang was a little dissatisfied and confused, "Do you have his phone number? Can you give me his number? Qianqian, I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss him very much."

Pang Qian blinked her eyes, took out her cell phone and said, "Uncle, give me your phone number, I will turn around and ask Gu Mingxi to call you."

"I haven't changed the number, Mingxi knows it."

"Oh." Pang Qian lowered her hand, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't give you his number, I have to ask for his opinion."

"Nonsense! Qianqian, why are you so ignorant now? Mingxi is the same! He hasn't come back for so many years! He doesn't contact me after he comes back! Is there any father in his eyes?" Gu Guoxiang was a little angry, and the leader showed his airs unknowingly. He felt that he was an elder and Pang Qian was a junior. He had come to find her in a low voice like this. How could she still show her face to him?

Pang Qian looked at him blankly and asked, "Uncle, do you know that Gu Mingxi dropped out of college?"

Gu Guoxiang was stunned and then shocked: "Mingxi dropped out of school?! When did it happen?"

"Don't you know?" Pang Qian sneered on her lips, "That means that you have not been to the B University in recent years to inquire about him, otherwise you wouldn't have known that he would have dropped out of school after the end of his freshman year."

Gu Guoxiang's face turned red and white, and Pang Qian said, "Uncle, I am a junior. Some words shouldn't be what I said to you. They are quite rude, but I still can't help but say it. Uncle, you haven't gone to find Gu Mingxi, why do you ask him to come back and come to you?"

The two left unhappily. After returning home, Pang Qian did not hide the matter. She told Gu Mingxi locally. Gu Mingxi thought about it for a night and called Gu Guoxiang the next day.

The father and son met in the teahouse, without hugging, without greetings, without any touching after reunion for a long time, nor with no scene of crying with joy. Gu Mingxi just sat opposite Gu Guoxiang, looked at his father, and spoke lightly: "Dad."

His eyes were calm and gentle, without joy and anger, as if he was looking at a stranger. Gu Guoxiang felt as if he had been cut by a knife. He would rather Gu Mingxi look at him with resentful eyes and accuse him loudly. In this way, he knew how to respond. He might hold his son and cry, apologize, repent, and then win his forgiveness.

However, Gu Mingxi's expression was not resentful. He just smiled faintly and said, "Dad, how are you doing recently?"

Gu Guoxiang was stunned for a while and nodded: "It's okay."

He asked Gu Mingxi about his past years, and Gu Mingxi answered him very simply, so simple that from the last meeting, he finished talking about the six or seven years in two minutes. Even the matter when Li Han died was just a few words. Gu Guoxiang wanted to ask more carefully, but Gu Mingxi smiled and shook his head and said, "Dad, don't talk about the past."

Well, Gu Guoxiang thought about it and asked about his future plans. Gu Mingxi said: "I teach in Sanya and I will go back before the end of the winter vacation."

Gu Guoxiang asked: "Are you with Qianqian now? I mean... are you in love?"

"Yes." Gu Mingxi nodded, not wanting to say more.

Gu Guoxiang asked again: "Then when are you planning to return to City E to develop?"

"I didn't think about it." Gu Mingxi continued to smile, "Dad, don't worry, even if I come back, I won't disturb you. You don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself."

Gu Guoxiang was so angry that he almost got angry when he was understatement, but seeing Gu Mingxi's calm and composed face, his heart suddenly became cold because he realized that Gu Mingxi was not angry with him, but that this was his truth.

The meeting lasted only half an hour. Gu Mingxi politely declined Gu Guoxiang's proposal to have dinner, saying that he had another appointment. Gu Guoxiang had no choice but to send him out.

Pang Qian's car had already parked at the entrance of the teahouse. When she saw Gu Mingxi, she got out of the car and walked over. Gu Guoxiang looked at the two young people and said in a deep voice: "Mingxi, if you have difficulties in life, tell your father that your father will help you."

Gu Mingxi was silent for a while and nodded: "I understand, thank you dad."

On the way back to Shengshi North City, Gu Mingxi didn't say anything. He leaned his forehead against the window glass beside the passenger seat, facing out the window in a daze.

Blood is thicker than water - this is a very strange word, just like Doudou's father. Gu Mingxi has seen him when he is awake. Seeing his son's injuries of all sizes, he will cry too much. But when he gets sick, he becomes a devil and completely loses his mind.

Doudou's father is sick, and it is understandable, but what about Gu Mingxi's father?

"Do you think I'm very willful?" When the car drove halfway, Gu Mingxi suddenly spoke. He still didn't turn around, but just asked softly.

Pang Qian shook her head: "I don't think so."

"After I come back, I should take the initiative to see him." Gu Mingxi said, "After all, he is my father and has raised me for so many years. When my mother was sick, he did not completely stop helping us."

Pang Qian knew that he was just talking, so she didn't interrupt him.

Gu Mingxi finally withdrew his gaze, looked at Pang Qian, and said, "But I can't forget how my mother looked when she passed away. Pang Pang, my mother has never done anything to be sorry for my father. She really shouldn't have lived like this for the rest of her life. Sometimes, I think, if it's better if I get electrocuted, it would be better if it's a little more serious. If I die, I will always be the smart, healthy, beautiful and well-behaved son in my father's mind. He will care about me, miss me, and love my mother twice as much. Then, they will have another child, and now they are twenty years old. When they go to a prestigious university, it is their pride."

"What should I do?" Pang Qian asked, "What should I do if you die?"

"The whole story is gone, Pang Pang." He smiled softly, and shrugged, "You will have a great boyfriend, maybe you are already married."

"Did you ever think that if you die, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life?" Pang Qian did not turn her head to look at him, but just drove the car intently, with a plain tone, "I threw that Frisbee into the transformer, and I would think I killed someone."

"What about now?" Gu Mingxi asked, "Are you compensating with me when you are with me?"

"What do you think?" Pang Qian's lips curled up, "Gu Mingxi, if you weren't in my life, I wouldn't be the one I am now. I studied finance and wouldn't do a loss-making business. Do you think I would lose my life to compensate someone I don't love?"

He looked at her with burning eyes, and Pang Qian said again: "I don't know when you have thought of 'death'. With my understanding of you, you have never thought about death and have a stronger desire to survive than anyone else. So, when I can't find you, I have been trying to make myself live a good life, because I know that somewhere on the map, you are also trying to make myself live a good life. I know that one day we will meet, and I hope I can become excellent and have a new look.

Standing in front of you, just like you had expected of me before. Others say that Pang Qian is lazy and greedy, not smart, not a resource for studying, but you have never given up on me, you have been pulling me forward. Gu Mingxi, I warn you, you will never say anything like death or life again! Your mother is gone, no matter what your relationship with your father will be in the future! I want you to remember, even if you are for me, Pang Qian, you have to live well for me!"

After saying that, tears flashed in her eyes. Gu Mingxi stared at her in a daze. When the car stopped at an intersection and waited for the green light, he carefully leaned over and touched her with his left shoulder.

"Pangpang, don't cry." He said, "I promise you that I will never say this again. Actually, you are right. I really never thought of death. I mean, if I was electrocuted, I would die..."

"You still say it!" Pang Qian turned her head and glared at him. Gu Mingxi immediately fell silent and compromised, "Okay, okay, I won't say it again."

"No, no, no," said the author.

"In no mood."

With sincerity and apologies on his face, Pang Qian finally burst into tears and smiled: "Zhou Nanzhong is right. You used to treat me, but from now on, I will treat you."

Gu Mingxi glanced at her and said to herself: In a certain area they have not yet reached, I don’t know who will cure whom.

Pang Qian looked at his face gradually flushed in confusion and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." He finished his imagination and looked at the scenery outside the window seriously.

Gu Mingxi never met Gu Guoxiang again. After the Spring Festival holiday, the Real Estate Bureau also started working, and Pang Qian's house purchase procedures began to be processed. She handed all the information to the agent, and the agent went to apply for a bank mortgage. When the agent heard the agent say, "Ms. Pang, you have a good job, have a high credit level, and have never bought a house, so there should be no problem with the mortgage." Gu Mingxi finally settled down with his heart.

They spent the first Valentine's Day after they were together, and there was no special program. They went to the hotel for a candlelight dinner together, watched a movie after dinner, and finally, Gu Mingxi bought a rose for Pang Qian on the street.

It only costs ten yuan, which makes her very happy.

After Valentine's Day, Gu Mingxi's winter vacation was only more than a week left, and he planned to go back to Sanya to prepare lessons. Pang Qian took him to the airport. Before entering security check, she really couldn't bear to leave him. She was tired of holding him for a while. It was not until Gu Mingxi gave her a long kiss that she reluctantly let him go.

After the plane took off, Pang Qian stood at the airport door in a daze with Gu Mingxi's thick coat in his arms, picked up her coat and sniffed the breath, full of his smell. Pang Qian buried her face in his coat and found that she had already begun to miss him.

Gu Mingxi flew to Sanya and returned to his home in Sanya Bay. He spoke to Doudou's mother on the phone. Doudou's mother said that she was a little busy these days and would not be able to send Doudou back until the weekend.

Gu Mingxi slept alone at home all night. When he woke up the next morning, he found something was wrong. He was dizzy, his throat was itchy, and his nose kept flowing. City E was cold and Sanya was hot. Gu Mingxi knew that he had a cold and had a cold.

In fact, Gu Mingxi is in good health and rarely gets sick, but every time he gets sick, it takes a long time to get sick. Others get colds in four or five days, but without exception, he will develop from a mild cold to a severe cold, then have a fever and cough. Only by going to the hospital to get water can heal gradually.

He was alone, so he was extremely disgusted with getting sick. Doudou was so young that he couldn't help even when he went to the hospital. When he asked other teachers for help, Gu Mingxi always felt that it would be too troublesome to others. This is really a helpless thing. He just lacked two hands than others, but in many things, he was really passive.

Gu Mingxi cooked a pot of porridge for himself, eating porridge in the morning, porridge at noon, and planning to eat porridge at night. He sat on a high chair in the kitchen and ate, holding pickled vegetables, his head was dizzy, and he forced himself to eat it.

When he was feeling uncomfortable, he would sleep and didn't even dare to turn on the air conditioner. His nose kept flowing, so he could only sit up again and again, pull tissues with his feet, and blow his nose in front of his nose. He drank a lot of water, and then kept going to the toilet. It was very troublesome to put on and take off his pants every time he went to the toilet, which made Gu Mingxi exhausted.

In the evening, Pang Qian called, and Gu Mingxi answered without thinking too much. Pang Qian was startled when she heard his hoarse voice. He couldn't help but cough a few times. Pang Qian asked, "Are you sick?"

"Well, I have a little cold, one cold and one hot, maybe I caught a cold." Gu Mingxi lay on the bed with headphones stuffed in his ears, "Don't worry, I'll be cured soon."

"You can only scare Teacher Ji, I still don't know you! I don't know how long it takes to get better after a cold!"

Listening to her anxious tone, Gu Mingxi felt warm in her heart and felt that her body was not so uncomfortable. He said, "Pangpang, when I hear your voice, I won't have a headache, really."

"Have you gone to see a doctor?"

"No, no, I just have a cold."

"Have you taken the medicine?"

"I ate it and it's white and black."

"You have to drink more water."

“I drank a lot.”

"Did you take your temperature? Do you have a fever?"

"A little bit, not yet reached 38 degrees."

Pang Qian was silent for a while there, and suddenly said, "No, Gu Mingxi, I won't tell you first."

She hung up the phone without saying a word. Gu Mingxi had no strength and did not call her again. It was already 7:30 pm, and he was sleeping in a daze on the bed, occasionally getting up to go to the bathroom, blowing his nose, and most of the time he was sleeping.

The sky was completely dark, and the window became quieter and quieter. I don’t know when it was, a slight sound suddenly sounded in the living room. Gu Mingxi had no strength to get up, and even his eyes were not opened. He thought, what was the sound? A rat? A cockroach? A thief?

Let them go, there is nothing valuable at home. Just as he was thinking, another "click" sound, Gu Mingxi lay on his side on the bed and opened his eyes with difficulty.

He heard a sound of footsteps, which was very light, but very clear. The light in the living room was on, and the light came in through the door. Gu Mingxi thought, this thief was really crazy, and he even turned on the lights when stealing something!

He wanted to sit up and go out to take a look, and at this moment, the door opened.

There was light in the living room and the room was pitch black. The man walked towards him, carrying the light on his back. He could only see her outline clearly. He felt that he must have been burned out and had hallucinations.

She sat on the edge of his bed, did not call him, but reached out and pressed his forehead, and whispered: "Oh no, it's so hot, it's really a fever."

As she said that, she wanted to get up and tugged a towel for him. When she stood up, he shouted in panic: "Don't leave."

She turned around to look at him in shock. He couldn't pull her. So she sat up with her waist and abdomen, leaned over and leaned over to lean on her. She naturally hugged him and let his cheeks press against her lower abdomen. He was not wearing a shirt and was covered in sweat. She held his shoulders and said, "I'll get you ice cubes to apply to your forehead."

"Don't leave." He just said, "Don't leave, don't leave."

"Okay, I won't leave." She said with a smile.

"Let me have a dream for a while." He laughed, and felt the warmth on her cheeks, and rubbed it like a cat. "I haven't had such a beautiful dream for a long time, Pang Pang, don't leave."
