Chapter 34: The Adventures of Gu Gou 2 On the Asphalt Avenue...
The night wind was howling on the asphalt avenue. Many students were coming and going, some were running around the campus, some were picking up takeout, and some were going out to play together.
The noisy sounds around him were completely inaudible, and Ye Jiajia's scolding was left behind. Gu Xingjue could only hear the ringing of his cell phone. His heart beat faster unconsciously, looking forward to the sound of Chen Song answering the phone.
At the same time, I was nervous and worried that he was busy with other things and didn't see his phone.
This feeling of waiting is a bit strange.
When Gu Xingjue thought the call was about to end, the other end picked up the phone. Chen Song's clear voice rang in his ears, like a clear spring flowing through his heart.
"Hello? Jiajia." His voice was very soft. "What's going on?"
Gu Xingjue held the phone tightly: "Chen Song, it's me."
There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Just as Gu Xingjue was about to say something, Ye Jiajia, who was standing next to him, caught up with him and started cursing, "Give me back my phone, you mad dog! You have absolutely no manners! You're snatching my phone right out in the street! Are you a bandit?!"
Chen Song suddenly stood up from the bed, coughed twice, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
Gu Xingjue could handle Ye Jiajia with one hand, and said calmly: "The basketball court next to the school gate. Where are you?"
"I'll be there now," Chen Song said angrily, his voice piercing. "Give her the phone back."
Gu Xingjue said, "Come over and I'll give it back to her."
Chen Song hung up the phone without saying anything. Gu Xingjue could hear his disordered breathing due to anger.
"Give it back to me! You lunatic!" Ye Jiajia glared at him viciously.
Gu Xingjue narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, then asked in an interrogative tone, "What's your relationship with him? Why are you calling him so intimately?"
"?" Ye Jiajia was completely confused. Knowing she couldn't snatch it from Gu Xingjue, she withdrew her hand. "What relationship? What's his name?"
"Ye Jiajia!" A man's shout in the distance interrupted their conversation. They looked over and saw Wang Yu'an running over quickly. He grabbed Ye Jiajia's arm, glared at Gu Xingjue, and asked, "Who is he?!"
Ye Jiajia's arm ached. Her phone had been snatched away, and she had wanted to help Chen Song get out of the water, but Wang Yu'an yelled at her for no apparent reason. She angrily shook his hand away, "How could you still doubt me? You're the one who's been flirting with someone else!"
Wang Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then his anger gradually subsided. He comforted her, "I didn't. They came to me on their own."
Ye Jiajia snorted coldly: "I came to you myself, you won't refuse without opening your mouth, right!"
Wang Yu'an immediately apologized: "It's my fault. Didn't I reject them directly? I told them that I had a partner, but they didn't believe me. Besides, our relationship as student unions can't be made public. I have no choice."
Ye Jiajia rolled her eyes at him: "What excuses are you making? We made the couple's ring, but where's your ring? I've only seen you wear it a few times!"
Ye Jiajia pulled up Wang Yuan's fingers to show him. The fingers were clean and white without any ornaments.
Wang Yu'an practically knelt down before her, begging for mercy: "Oh, auntie, I didn't wear it today. I'm playing basketball today. I took it off because it hurt my hands. What if the ball rubs it and breaks it?"
Ye Jiajia was still unforgiving and was now furious: "You did it on purpose, picking this time. Isn't this the time when women come to you?"
Wang Yuan was anxious: "Didn't I ask you to come?"
Ye Jiajia didn't say anything at this point. She looked away angrily and saw Gu Xingjue fiddling with her phone. She yelled, "Are you sick? You've called and sent someone over! What are you doing looking through my phone?"
Wang Yu'an finally came to his senses: "Who is he?"
"A distant relative, no, that's not right, a psychopath!" Ye Jiajia patted his shoulder, "Hurry up, help me get my phone back!"
"Okay!" Wang Yuan stepped forward, determined to die on the battlefield. However, before he started fighting, Gu Xingjue had already returned the phone to him.
Wang Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then took the phone and returned it to Ye Jiajia. Ye Jiajia looked at Gu Xingjue suspiciously, opened her phone, and found that there was one more person in his friend list.
Ye Jiajia: “….”
Gu Xingjue added himself and then pushed Chen Song’s WeChat to him.
Ye Jiajia said, "Why don't you just search for his number and add him? Why would you add me?"
Gu Xingjue learned his lesson this time. If Chen Song disagreed, he would be unable to find or contact him. Gu Xingjue raised his lips to her and said, "Distant relatives, adding them as friends is normal."
Ye Jiajia felt that he must be up to something bad, but she didn't delete Gu Xingjue casually. Instead, she wanted to see what tricks he would play.
Wang Yu'an's eyes wandered over the two of them: "Are you really distant relatives?"
Ye Jiajia patted him: "You don't believe me again, do you? You must believe that he likes men."
Wang Yu'an stared at Gu Xingjue with wide eyes. Gu Xingjue approached with a half-smile and malicious intent: "So, instead of worrying about your girlfriend, you should worry about yourself."
Wang Yu'an was shocked and looked away uncomfortably. He wasn't being discriminatory, but Gu Xingjue's gaze was truly terrifying.
"Wait," Ye Jiajia suddenly understood and looked at Gu Xingjue in surprise, "You and Chen Song, could it be that..."
Gu Xingjue smiled unabashedly, revealing his white canine teeth: "Yes, he and I are."
Ye Jiajia couldn't believe it, and Wang Yuan was shocked again. The two were so shocked that they stood there like motionless pine trees.
Ye Jiajia frowned, then thought, "That's not right, right? Last time we were in the DIY ring shop, we saw the ring made by Chen Song with the letters GM engraved on it."
Ye Jiajia peeked at Chen Song from behind when he was making a ring. It couldn't be said that she wanted to say hello, but Chen Song was so focused that he didn't notice her at all.
Ye Jiajia looked at Gu Xingjue: "You clearly have three words."
Gu Xingjue's face darkened: "When did this happen?"
Ye Jiajia thought for a moment: "In October, it's been a long time. Did you just do it recently? That's not right. The last time Chen Song saw your photo..."
"Jia Jia!" Chen Song interrupted Ye Jia Jia before she could finish her words.
Chen Song was panting, his coat casually open, and his face did not look very good.
Gu Xingjue was about to delve into Ye Jiajia's words, but his thoughts were interrupted by Chen Song's arrival. He strode forward to tidy up his clothes: "Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even put on your clothes properly."
Chen Song glared at him, slapped his hand away, and walked straight towards Ye Jiajia: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Ye Jiajia just found out about their relationship and felt inexplicably guilty. Wang Yuan also felt a little uncomfortable. The two of them looked at Chen Song with strange eyes.
Chen Song swallowed his breath and turned to look at Gu Xingjue: "Give her the phone back."
Gu Xingjue was a little unhappy about being scolded and just stood there without moving.
Ye Jiajia pulled Wang Yu'an and prepared to leave: "He returned it to me. Haha," she laughed unnaturally, "We have something to do, so we'll leave first."
Chen Song said, "Okay."
Ye Jiajia nodded, and before leaving, she whispered in Chen Song's ear, "I'm at the basketball court next door. If you have anything, send me a message."
Chen Song said "hmm" softly and watched Ye Jiajia walk away. Ye Jiajia walked on the asphalt road arm in arm with Wang Yu'an, looking very sweet, just like the ordinary couples around them.
Gu Xingjue walked to Chen Song's side, the night breeze gently blowing their hair. Chen Song turned around without saying a word and walked towards another less crowded path. Gu Xingjue walked side by side with him.
For a moment, Chen Song felt as if they were just like the couples in school. They would walk together on the campus after dinner, talking and laughing, and secretly kiss in a place with few people around. It was sweet enough.
Chen Song's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he frowned slightly. He put his hands in his pockets to hold his stomach, and said through gritted teeth, "If you have anything else to say, tell me everything for the last time. We'll never see each other again."
Chen Song had a severe stomachache today. He lay on his bed in the dormitory after class in the afternoon. He wanted to bear it a little longer and go to the hospital tomorrow Wednesday afternoon since he had no classes.
I was half asleep when I was woken up by Ye Jiajia's phone call, and then I was called here by Gu Xingjue.
Gu Xingjue didn't notice Chen Song's discomfort, but was hurt by his words. He couldn't hold back his anger and said, "Chen Song, we just met, and you're saying you don't want to see each other anymore. Your mouth is really getting harder and harder. Can you really bear to do that? Don't I understand you well enough? If your heart is half as hard as your mouth, that would be enough."
"Gu Xingjue," Chen Song paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't think you know me very well. If you don't have anything to do, don't bother me anymore."
Gu Xingjue paused, looking at Chen Song's lips trembling slightly in the wind. The anger in his heart had already dissipated like the wind. He raised his hand to touch Chen Song's face, and his thumb gently stroked his lips:
"Chen Song, let's make peace. Let's stop making trouble. If you stop making trouble, I won't make trouble either."
Chen Songxin was suddenly pulled.
The moonlight sprinkled in Gu Xingjue's affectionate eyes, soft and beautiful like a dream, almost drawing people in and making them fall deeply into it.
Chen Song lowered his eyes and pushed Gu Xingjue's hand away: "We can't go back anymore."
Gu Xingjue's heart ached. He hugged Chen Song in his arms, gently stroked his hair, and comforted him, "It's okay. You are just angry with Cheng Song. I have never considered him from the beginning to the end. Really, believe me."
Gu Xingjue's voice is deep and very magnetic, and unusually soft, like a piano piece that cleanses one's soul.
Chen Song's heart was not moved at all.
"I didn't kiss him, he kissed me. I wanted to refuse, but I saw you. We had a big fight that night, and I..." Gu Xingjue paused, feeling a little helpless, like a child who had made a mistake. "I just wanted to piss you off. That's why I accepted it. Don't be angry, let's just cancel out what happened between him and Yun Jingsheng. Don't mention it again."
"Is that okay?"
Chen Song found it ridiculous, his heart trembling, and breathing a little difficult. He broke free from Gu Xingjue's arms and looked at him with a clear and stubborn look: "Brother Jing Sheng and I are innocent. We have never kissed, nor have we been together. Let alone skiing together in an ambiguous way."
"Gu Xingjue," Chen Song's voice trembled, "Don't choose me when you have to choose between two options. I don't want this cheap relationship."
"Yes, if it's really as you said. Even if we reconcile, we'll just be repeating the same mistakes. The world is so big, and there are so many temptations. I don't have the energy to bear it a second time. Be mature, say goodbye properly, and give these three years some dignity."
After Chen Song finished speaking, his gaze, filled with both nostalgia and relief, wandered across Gu Xingjue's face, as if it was a farewell.
Gu Xingjue's burning heart felt as if it were sinking into an abyss of eternity, filled with anxiety and fear. A cold wind howled in the abyss, just like the night wind that night, chilling him so much that his entire body stiffened and ached, leaving him speechless.
The bitterness was like strong liquor blocking his throat, making him unable to utter a word.
In his panic, he realized that no matter what he said or explained, Chen Song and he could never go back.
This relationship that had lasted for three years had a crack that appeared at some point. The crack grew silently bigger and longer, spreading unscrupulously, and finally tore the two hearts that were originally tightly together into countless pieces.
The two of them held the broken pieces on the ground in their hands, and no matter how they tried to repair them, it was useless. Instead, they cut themselves all over and bled.
Chen Song turned and left. Gu Xingjue stared at Chen Song's back in a daze. He strode forward and hugged him tightly from behind. He buried his chin in his thin shoulder bones and breathed hard, as if he wanted to crush him and melt him into his bones and blood.
"No. I said no, Chen Song." Gu Xingjue said with a sad tone, "I love you. I love you! I really... love you!"
Chen Song suddenly widened his eyes. He felt Gu Xingjue's trembling bones and violently beating heart, and he was deeply shocked.
Gu Xingjue loves him? How could Gu Xingjue possibly love him? If Gu Xingjue truly loved him, why would he have disregarded his feelings for three years? And why would he even go so far as to invent a name just to test him?
If she really loved him, why would she go to Cheng Song personally? Why would she let him suffer humiliation at his workplace?
How could it be—Gu Xing could never love him!
If Gu Xingjue loved him, he would never have answered the phone call that night.
But...what was Gu Xingjue doing now? Why was he pestering him? Was it because he was not used to the fact that his dog, which he had raised for three years, was gone?
Chen Song's muddy brain was working frantically, trying to find an answer to all of this, but he couldn't find one! All his complicated emotions and thoughts burst out in an instant.
Chen Song's breathing was surging, and he used all his strength to break free from Gu Xingjue's arms. The momentary lightness made him feel dizzy, his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.
While he was fuzzy, he heard someone calling his name again and again.
“Chen Song!…Chen Song!…”
The repetitive and powerful sound was like a tight net that drew him in tighter and tighter, making it difficult to break free...
