Chapter 38 Rejection
Chapter 38 Rejection
"I study in No. [-] Primary School."
Hearing these words, Gu Xiyang glanced at her inexplicably, and then frowned with melancholy.
"Do you remember Fatty Bai?"
Suddenly, the unknown meaning turned into horror.
Childhood is different, and everyone has more or less things they don't want to remember in their childhood.Gu Xiyang had a little more.Because at that time he was not as taciturn as he is now, nor is he as polite as he is now.
Before he was healed by Liang Qiuyu, the bone wound on his body was left at that time.
Behind every overly rebellious child is a dysfunctional family.This sentence is applied to Gu Xiyang because the background of his parents' early death made him have an unbearable childhood.
Boys will always take a detour if they are neglected.
At that time, although food and clothing were easy to worry about, supplies were relatively scarce, especially things that were classified as snacks.The life of Gu Xiyang, who lives with his grandmother, can be described as poverty. Snacks are a fantasy for him.
There is a strong desire for the unattainable.
At that time, Gu Xiyang lived in a lot of boys, and most of the children who came out of the slum-like streets were similar to hooligans. They usually didn't have much entertainment, and they hung out together when they were not in school.
There just happened to be a fruit and vegetable processing plant in that area, which produced beverages and the like.The factory is very close to where they live, and it takes only half an hour to walk.They often see a lot of porters packing the drinks that are now out of print but extremely precious at that time.
One day, Gu Xiyang and his friends entered the factory.
A group of brats went in with the sole purpose of stealing something, no matter if it was useful or not, it was just for fun anyway.
But Gu Xiyang still has other thoughts, he wants to drink those bottled drinks, he has never tasted what those red, green and green water taste like.
The first time I was very unlucky, I was discovered as soon as I entered, and they were shocked to jump over the wall.This kind of thing happened for the first time and then for the second time, and the second time I didn't catch anything, but was chased by the big wolfhound tied inside and ran for several streets, and my pants were almost bitten by the wolfhound.
Such stimulation not only did not scare them away, but stimulated their desire for adventure even more.After three or five attempts, they finally entered the factory building, which was very large and filled with rumbling electric equipment.
The bumpkins, who have never seen the world, had a good time as soon as they entered. They turned left and right, and when they were having a good time, they were discovered by the management inside. Several big men rushed over with sticks .
Gu Xiyang's vigilance is high, so he naturally runs fast, but he just rushed out but didn't see the little girl standing by the side door of the factory building. She was holding a rabbit cage in her hand, and bumped into Gu Xiyang who was coming. Individuals are thrown off their feet.The cage in her hand hit her face, making several cuts, and blood flowed all over her face.At that time, Gu Xiyang was so frightened, he sat on the ground and didn't react. When he stood up, the manager had already come up with a stick.It was a coincidence that the stick was swung, and Gu Xiyang fell down again after a dull pain. He is a brat and he hasn't even finished changing his teeth. The police station went to educate them, but the little girl with blood on his face made them scramble again, so he just got thrown out and it was over.
Because the family had no money, Gu Xiyang's broken leg had to be healed carelessly. Fortunately, he did not become crippled, nor did it cause hidden dangers to his growth and development, but he occasionally had a dull pain during the period of growing his body.
At that time, he was still worried about the little girl. The blood on his face was so scary that he would never forget it for a long time.But fortunately, it didn't take long for him to see that little girl at school, and he noticed that it wasn't because of a collision, who could remember her face with blood on her face, what Gu Xiyang remembered was her body shape that was seriously out of standard.In the era when the nutritional value of food was not high, it was not easy to grow that amount of flesh.
She was very generous and gave Gu Xiyang a bottle of drink.The red bottle looks a bit like blood at first glance.
It was the third grade of elementary school. Gu Xiyang only remembered being very close to her for a period of time, and then gradually drifted away.Her name seems to be Zheng...
"Zheng Xiaowan, you should remember, right?"
The more frightened Gu Xiyang raised his eyebrows, "You know her too?"
"Very familiar."
"It's a coincidence that I was her elementary school classmate."
"She changed her name later, do you know?"
"...I don't know, I haven't contacted you since I graduated from elementary school."
"You don't want to know what she changed her name to?"
Looking at Zheng Shuang's weird smile, Gu Xiyang's pupils couldn't help but dilate, "Could it be..."
"That's right, it's changed to Zheng Shuang."
Gu Xiyang frowned and his complex expression changed before he could say, "You've changed too much, you don't look alike at all."
"Because I had plastic surgery." Zheng Shuang smiled treacherously.
"what?"
"I lied to you, I just got rid of the scar on my face."
Thinking of the past, Gu Xiyang couldn't help but feel guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it at the time."
"I don't blame you, I was also sneaky to find a nest for the rabbit. Brother Gu, thank you very much for helping me make up my lessons back then."
"It was I who hurt you, and making up lessons is considered compensation." Gu Xiyang laughed.
"You also know that I was very fat when I was a child, and few children were willing to play with me, so I remember it very clearly in my heart. I will remember the kindness others have given me for a lifetime." When she said this, her voice was a little choked .
In fact, this incident did not leave a deep impression on Gu Xiyang's life experience, because at that time he was just feeling guilty, making up lessons was a piece of cake for him, after all, the slightly bloated Although the wound on the face healed, there was an ugly scar left, a scar that I don't know if it will be washed away by the years.
Gu Xiyang tried his best to think back, it seems that at that time he was laughed at by some naughty brats in school, laughing at him that Xiyang Xiyang had no mother since he was a child, and married a wife who was as fat as a ham sausage.
Thinking of the scene in his childhood, Gu Xiyang couldn't help laughing, "You don't remember that incident when you were young, do you? I remember you changed schools later."
Zheng Shuang shook his head and nodded again.
"I did like you when I was young. But who would like a fat and ugly girl," she hung her head halfway, looking lonely.
"Fat is a little fatter, but not ugly." Gu Xiyang comforted.
"Brother Gu, do you believe in fate?"
It's hard to talk about fate, so Gu Xiyang didn't answer.
"I met you when you were in college."
Now Gu Xiyang was surprised again.
"I have a girlfriend who is in the same university as you. I came back from abroad to see her that year. It happened that she was participating in a school performance, so I followed. I didn't expect that I would see you again after so many years. My first I recognized you right away. I was very excited and timid. I went around a few turns to get your phone number. Unfortunately, I only called you once and you changed your number. I haven't picked it up yet." Zheng Shuang was a little coquettish while talking.
When Gu Xiyang was in college, he was a good student who focused on his work and worked hard, was positive and didn't hear much about outside the window, of course everything related to Song Xu was excluded.
"Which art show? I don't remember it." As a top student in the design department, he was busy in the backstage of every show, so many people looked familiar to him, but not many people knew him well.
"It seems to be a welcome party. I mustered up the courage to go up and talk to you, but you ignored me."
"Hehe," Gu Xiyang laughed dryly.
"My schoolwork is also very stressful, so I delayed contacting you. Until I graduated and returned to China two years ago, I tried every means to inquire. I heard that you joined Hongyan Design Group. For a while, I encouraged me Dad invested in the construction industry. It’s a pity that my dad rejected it. I was very depressed during that time. I wanted to rush to your company several times and confess my love to you, but every time I saw you in a suit and tie, my confidence collapsed. , I regret that I have no courage, and I have been frustrated until you opened your own shop. You know what happened later. But what annoys me the most is that you don’t know me at all. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me, we can get to know each other again.” She Shrugging his shoulders, he looked innocent and smiling.
Listening to her rambling narration of the past, Gu Xiyang felt a little moved in his heart. In this age when true feelings are sucked dry by material things, such stories do not seem so real.
If he was a heterosexual, maybe he would be really tempted. Let alone Zheng Shuang's family, no one would be tempted by a long and mellow relationship.
Too bad he wasn't.He cannot accept her.
If it is still vague, it can only hurt her.
"Are you moved by me?" Seeing that he was silent, Zheng Shuang asked tentatively.
"A bit."
A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes brighter than the bright moon, "I originally expected that you would show something after being with you for two years, but I didn't expect to wait for me to find out, Brother Gu, we..."
"Xiao Shuang." Gu Xiyang straightened his face.
"what happened?"
"I can't be with you."
The joyful expression froze instantly, "Why!"
"You don't have a girlfriend, and you haven't been in a relationship in the past few years, why can't you consider me!" Zheng Shuang was a little anxious.
Gu Xiyang took a deep breath, "I don't like you."
Tears of anxiety and heartache filled my eyes in an instant, "Why, I am no longer the fat white boy I was when I was a child, do you know that I tried hard to control my appetite when I played with an ugly fat person to prevent others from laughing at you, I was very hungry When I was very hungry, I still resisted eating, ran every morning, and did body-building exercises at night, and this habit continued until I went abroad to study.” After two sentences, the rolling tears finally burst.
Gu Xiyang was a little at a loss, "I didn't dislike you. You are beautiful, gentle and intelligent, and have excellent conditions. You are suitable for a better man, not me."
"You are also excellent. Even my dad praises you, but he rarely praises others." She muttered while sobbing.
"Your father would prefer that you find someone with the right family."
"If you reject me because of this, then I will make an agreement with my dad for three chapters. I can not rely on him at all, and I can support myself. In this way, we will stand on the same line."
Gu Xiyang sighed helplessly, not knowing how to explain it, he leaned back on the chair melancholy.
For a moment, only Zheng Shuang's restrained sobs remained.
The two sat quietly like this.After a long time, it felt like the nightlife people were going to get off work. Gu Xiyang straightened his shirt and stood up from the chair, "I'll take you home."
"Brother Gu, think again..." Xiao Se cried.
Gu Xiyang looked at him solemnly, "Xiao Shuang, you also know that I have never had a girlfriend, so... I can't harm you."
The author has something to say: By the way, Zheng Shuang has not received the lunch box~~ I will come out to hang out later==
