Chapter 50
The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.
Gong Xun held his chin and looked at Jiang Luo with twinkling eyes.
(๑*◡*๑)
"Uh, Xun, why don't you speak up?"
Being stared at by Gong Xun, Jiang Luo couldn't help but blush.
"Oh, you're shy. I thought you could say more cheesy things, but that's all. It's really lame."
Gong Xun imitated the popular brother Jie Awei in high school and smiled sarcastically~
Jiang Luo scratched the back of his head: "Xun, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, not cheesy words."
"But I have goose bumps. If you don't believe me, take a look."
Gong Xun pulled open her sleeves, revealing a white and delicate arm, and pushed it against Jiang Luo's face.
It was still the playful, lively, cute and bold Gong Xun in memory.
She seemed...
Not changed at all.
Except that her blonde hair turned black.
Except that her face lost its youthful look and became mature.
Eight years, the vicissitudes of life are enough to change everything.
It changed Jiang Luo, but Gong Xun did not change.
It seemed that she was frozen in time and space when she graduated from high school, and it was not until she was revived now that she could maintain the youthful and bright white moonlight appearance of that year.
"Okay, Xun, there are so many people here."
"I won't unless you beg for mercy."
"Okay, okay, I beg for mercy."
Seeing that the grown-up man in front of him was still as immature as in his memory, blushing and his heartbeat accelerated when he was teased casually, Gong Xun's eyes gradually became soft, and he retracted his arm, thought for a while, and said: "So, piano, let's touch again?"
"Well, it has already begun. I haven't forgotten our agreement. I originally wanted to become a world-famous piano master, so that you can notice me no matter where you are in the world."
"I just didn't expect that our meeting would be so coincidental. I still feel that I am dreaming an unrealistic dream. I woke up from the dream accidentally and you left."
However.
This is not a dream, but an extremely real reality.
Jiang Luo's most important purpose of playing the piano again has been achieved.
Find Gong Xun again!
And continue to play the piano...
Knowing this answer, Gong Xun smiled with relief.
It was worth it that Gong Xun mustered up the courage to break into Jiang Luo's life, redeem Jiang Luo, and play the piano again.
"Silly Jiang Luo, although I haven't appeared in front of you these years, I have always been paying attention to you silently!"
"Then why do you..."
Jiang Luo paused.
It seems that he has sensed some bad reasons.
At the same time, Jiang Luo remembered.
When Gong Xun showed Jiang Luo's arm just now.
Jiang Luo vaguely saw many needle holes on it.
It means that Gong Xun has been getting injections all these years!
Gong Xun knew that Jiang Luo must have thought of many possibilities during the years when he was missing, and one of the possibilities... included the reason why Gong Xun had been missing for many years.
Now, it's time to tell the answer.
"Jiang Luo, when I met you, I told a lie."
Gong Xun stretched out her fingertips and put them in front of her lips.
"I said, this is the first time I met you."
"This is a lie."
"Ah?"
Jiang Luo was stunned.
"Xun, have we met before?"
If so, how could Jiang Luo not know?
Jiang Luo had always thought that Gong Xun's transfer from high school was their first encounter.
"Stupid friend A, how can a girl keep talking about this? You, a boy, must find the answer. How proactive do you want me to be?"
ヽ(●-`Д´-)ノ
Gong Xun puffed up her lips and couldn't help but kicked Jiang Luo across the table.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll find it. I'll find it."
"But Xun, you're still the same as in high school, that's great."
Jiang Luo said with a smile.
Only in front of Gong Xun, Jiang Luo didn't need to pretend and be his true self.
Facing Liu Ruyan, Jiang Haotian and Fang Huanyun, and Gu Youwei, Jiang Luo has always been gentle, restrained, and always considerate of others.
In fact, he has forgotten what the real Jiang Luo is like.
Now that he meets Gong Xun again, the dead memories are slowly revived.
Jiang Luo felt that he was gradually finding his true self.
In high school, Jiang Luo had scolded Gong Xun for being a violent girl.
"And the second point."
"In high school, I said I wasn't sick, and that I took leave because something happened at home."
"That's also a lie."
Gong Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of
Ripples, thin lips slightly parted.
"I have had a disease since I was born. When I was very young, the doctor said I would not live past the age of 20. As I grew up, I would faint for no reason and have nosebleeds. I went to many hospitals but none of them could cure me."
"I should have died completely the year I graduated from high school."
Jiang Luo's heart ached.
This guess was indeed within the expectations of Jiang Luo and Zhan Peng.
Gong Xun chose to leave without saying goodbye because she was sick.
Otherwise, with Gong Xun's personality, she had saved Jiang Luo's life, so how could she suddenly disappear and leave only a letter?
Think about it carefully, Gong Xun had no problems in the first year of transfer, but often asked for leave in the second year, saying that there was something going on at home.
At that time, Jiang Luo and the others noticed the signs, but did not think about it in this direction.
When asked about Gong Xun, Gong Xun said that there was nothing wrong, so they had to give up.
Zhan Peng told Jiang Luo the worst news, that Gong Xun might be dead. She chose to leave without saying goodbye and face death alone just to avoid making Jiang Luo and the others sad.
Jiang Luo didn't believe that Gong Xun would be so lonely and die alone. She must still be alive in some corner of this world! Even if she was dead, Jiang Luo had to confirm it himself!
Now...
Gong Xun said that she would not live past the age of 20, but she suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Luo, alive and well. Isn't it a [miracle]?
"I didn't know I would not live past the age of 20 until I got sick in my first year of high school. I went to the hospital for diagnosis but to no avail. I secretly saw my diagnosis and knew I would not live long. At that time..."
"For the first time, I chose to be myself."
At this moment, Gong Xun's voice became excited and her whole person brightened up.
"I dyed my gray hair blonde due to illness, became a non-mainstream girl, sang I Miss You, secretly went to black Internet cafes, played Audition, deliberately made a crackling sound on the keyboard, and learned to skate."
"I used to be afraid of getting sick, so I strictly followed the doctor's advice and didn't eat sweets. Then I let myself go. You know, I like sweets very much, cakes, bread, milk... I no longer restrained myself, just to be happy. Life is so bitter. If I don't eat some sweets, I'm afraid I won't be able to close my eyes in the coffin."
"At the same time..."
Gong Xun took a deep breath, and the arc of her mouth was like the softest part of her heart was gently touched, blooming with brilliant brilliance.
"In order to meet you again, I asked my father to transfer me to your high school."
So...
Jiang Luo, it was not a coincidence that we met in high school.
It was something I had planned for a long time.
It was an arrangement that had been decided long ago.
