After Xi Pan finished speaking, Gu Yuanche was stunned violently when he saw the passage in his eyes.

With her eyes closed, she felt the umbrella in her hand being pulled away. After the trumpet, she was hugged tighter.

The man leaned against her neck, and a slight warmth gradually came out.

Xi Pan's eyes were inexplicably sore.

At this moment, she really couldn't push him away.

Gu Yuanche, who never expresses his emotions, actually opened his true heart to her-

After going down the mountain, the rain decreased a little, but the sky really darkened, bringing out a hazy neon light.

Back at the hotel, Gu Yuanche first went to the bathroom. Xi Pan walked into the living room, and after a while he saw him walking out, holding a bath towel and a towel.

He pulled her to the sofa, let her sit down, and then stood beside her, gently rubbing her slightly wet hair with a dry towel.

Just now, I was on the top of the mountain, and even though I was holding an umbrella, I was still wet from the rain.

"I'm fine, just go and take a shower..." Xi Pan looked at his body as wet as she was, "I'll just wipe it myself."

He bent down his face and looked straight with her, and the bath towel wrapped around her little head, gently wiping her ears: "Don't catch a cold, otherwise I will feel distressed."

She listened to his hoarse voice and joked: "I think you have a cold more likely."

Xi Pan took the bath towel and stood up to look at him: "You go and take a shower, and then sleep well. You will feel much more comfortable when you wake up tomorrow. When I was unhappy in the past, I liked to sleep. I have experience, and you didn't have a good rest last night."

There was a smile on his face, "Okay."

After rushing him to the bathroom, Xi Pan called the hotel staff and asked them to bring them two cups of hot milk.

After taking a shower, Gu Yuanche walked out of the bathroom and saw a glass of milk on the bedside table.

There is a note underneath.

"Go to bed early after drinking, good night."

He rubbed the sticky note for a long time and picked up the milk-

Xi Pan had another dream and returned to that year.

In the dream, she was walking beside Gu Yuanche and asked him in confusion: "Yuanche, why have I never heard you mention your mother?"

In fact, the closer she got to Gu Yuanche, the more she could feel his strangeness.

For example, once, when she gave the rice dumplings made by her classmate Jia Hanmei and finally gave them to Gu Yuanche, she smiled and said, "I'll give you this biggest meat dumpling. By the way, will your mother make rice dumplings?"

The boy's face changed and he did not answer.

Later, Xi Pan accidentally heard Gu Luoxing and Gu Yuanche chatting, and Gu Luoxing asked his brother: "Mom said she would come back to see us during a while. Is that true? Do you want to stay at her house for two days?"

"Don't go."

Xi Pan thought at first that his mother and him were just cold, but Xi Pan found that she had never seen his mother, parent-teacher meetings, academic presentations, etc. at school, or no one would attend, or it would be his father.

After Xi Pan asked this, Gu Yuanche's face darkened a little: "What do you want to know so much?"

"I'm just curious...no other meaning."

She thought he was angry and felt very nervous.

The boy put his schoolbag in the stands on the basketball court, walked down, and started playing basketball. Xi Pan looked at him and realized that he might have mentioned something he shouldn't have mentioned.

After a while, he scored the last goal.

He walked back to her and sat down beside her without saying anything. Xi Pan held his eyelashes and whispered: "I'll go back first..."

She was about to stand up when he held her wrist down.

"My parents are divorced, and my mother is not in Lincheng."

He finally spoke.

Xi Pan turned his head and looked at him in shock: "...divorce?"

Gu Yuanche explained two or three simple sentences to her, and Xi Pan finally understood why he would react like this when he mentioned his mother.

After hearing this, Xi Pan held his hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay, there are still many people who love you, such as me."

He clamped the back of her head and put his lips close to the corner of her lips.

"Will you leave me?"

His hoarse voice was filled with insecure, as if he had heard something exact guarantee.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

"No, I will be with you."

...

Xi Pan woke up from his dream and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window covered with only a layer of white gauze. The clouds and mists had already disappeared outside, and the scenery and the moon cleared.

The warm sunlight on the winter morning sets in the room, jumping actively in every corner.

She sat up, stretched, got out of bed and went to wash.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she wanted to see if Gu Yuanche woke up, but passed by the study, she found the man sitting at the desk, lowering his head and flipping through the pieces in his hand, looking plain, looking at it no different from usual.

It seems that yesterday's incident didn't happen at all.

His slender fingers knocked on the computer, and then he glanced at Xi Pan who was standing at the door and stopped.

"woke up?"

"Um."

She hesitated for a while and walked in. He stood up and walked beside her, looked at her with a smile, and Xi Pan glanced at him: "Are you feeling much better?"

His voice became heavy.

"It's not going well, can I still hug you?"

Xi Pan: “…get away.”

This person is still addicted to being hugged, right?

His eyes were circling on her black and red lips, "Then what you said yesterday, you said 'You are here'..."

Xi Pan's heart slammed.

She immediately clarified: "You, don't get me wrong. I just comfort you. There is no other meaning. Don't think too much!"

She didn't know what was wrong with her at that time, so she subconsciously said that.

Ahhhh, confused.

Gu Yuan was silent for a few seconds, "Oh."

Very disappointed.

He thought the Long March was over.

Xi Pan's face turned red. He realized that it was not suitable to stay here for too long. He was about to leave quickly, but his voice fell again: "No matter who leaves, I hope--you won't leave."

Xi Pan was stunned.

She turned around and looked out the window without answering, and then she was rubbed off the top of her head.

He spoke out: "It's okay, I'm very patient and will continue to wait."

Wait until the day when she is fascinated by him again-

In the afternoon, the plane flew to Lincheng in the evening. As soon as it landed, Gu Yuanche received a call.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to find a deeper understanding."

“…”

"Ok, happy cooperation."

Xi Pan listened, and after seeing him hung up the phone, he asked quickly: "Who is it?"

“d-ciki, they said – willing to work with us.”

Xi Pan: "!!"

"Wow, is it true?!" They actually won the game successfully and defeated gra!

"Yeah." His eyes were soft and he brought her excitement into his eyes.

Director Lin was also very happy, "It's so good, will D-ciki people come here in a few days?"

"Yes, sign the contract and make more detailed arrangements for this design, but everyone will have to work harder."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Wait until Mr. Gu gives us a bonus hahaha."

Xi Pan also laughed so happily.

Seeing her look, Gu Yuanche raised his eyebrows: "So happy?"

"Yes, I just came to search for it, which can be regarded as a contribution to the company's glory."

"Don't be too happy too early, this is just the beginning."-
