Chapter 155 I Recognized You

With a "bang" sound!

All the documents on the desk were overturned by Li Tingshen!

"Please calm down, Mr. Li." The programmer nodded hastily, "I checked, and my wife's flight tickets and hotel reservations are not with Gu Xingzhi."

"We haven't divorced yet, so we can't be too blatant." Li Tingshen's handsome face was gloomy, "But sometimes, the more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes..."

"My wife is not that kind of person."

"Just because she is not, doesn't mean Gu Xingzhi is not." Li Tingshen ordered, "Arrange a plane to Haicheng."

The program said with embarrassment, "Boss Li, you have a very important business banquet tomorrow. You must be present. You really cannot leave the capital."

Li Ting closed his eyes and said, "I understand."

......

Gu Mian rested in the hotel for one night. Since he was not in a hurry to go to work, he planned to play for two days first.

The next afternoon, Gu Mian took a bus and relived every detail of the city along the way.

Haicheng has always been a super first-tier city, but Gu Mian still feels that it has changed a lot.

Gu Mian came back to his original home.

This is an old neighborhood. In order to give her and Gu Xing a good education, her grandparents used up all their savings to pay the down payment and bought an old and dilapidated house here.

Later, my grandmother fell ill, and Gu Mian secretly sold the house to pay for her medical treatment.

Although the house no longer belongs to her, every moment of her life here with her grandparents is engraved in her heart and will never be forgotten.

Haicheng No. 1 Middle School is a 20-minute walk from the community.

Gu Mian walked along the road in his memory and arrived at his familiar alma mater.

"Isn't this the campus beauty?" The guard recognized Gu Mian at a glance, "You're still as pretty as ever! I recognized you right away!"

"Hello, uncle." Gu Mian greeted politely.

"Is your grandmother in good health? It was thanks to her that I was cured of my illness, otherwise I would have been guarding the gate in heaven."

"My grandmother passed away last summer."

"What a pity! She was a good doctor." The guard changed the subject. "Are you here to visit your alma mater? Today is Saturday, and the school is quiet. You can go in and take a look."

"Isn't this bad?"

"It's okay. The school has been upgraded and is completely covered by surveillance. Besides, you graduated here, so you can come back and take a look."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

Gu Mian walked around the campus taking pictures with his cell phone. When he arrived at a familiar place, he felt that the heavy pressure that had been accumulating in his chest for a while had dissipated a lot.

"Mianmian."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

Gu Mian turned around and saw Gu Xingzhi standing behind her.

"Xingzhi, why are you here?"

"I'm on a business trip and happened to have some free time, so I thought of visiting my alma mater." Gu Xingzhi walked up to her and said, "Look what I bought for you."

"It's the sugar-roasted chestnuts stall at the school gate!" Gu Mian said in surprise, "But I didn't see the stall when I first came!"

"The city management is very strict now and does not allow street vendors, so people open storefronts."

"That's not right." Gumian realized belatedly, "You knew I was here a long time ago? So you went to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"When I came here just now, I heard the security guard say you were here, so I went to buy it."

"so it is."

The two men came to the steps beside the basketball court and sat down.

Gu Mian said while eating chestnuts, "My deskmate always liked to drag me here to watch the boys play basketball."

"Girls are always attracted to boys who play basketball." Gu Xingzhi said with a smile, "It's just a pity that you already liked Li Tingshen at that time, so it was impossible for any boy to catch your eye."

"Yes, my biggest dream at that time was to get into God Capital University so that I could be closer to him." Gu Mian smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. "But who could have expected that what I want most now is to leave him?"

"From this we can see that no matter how strong the love of youth is, it cannot defeat reality. Li Tingshen is like a dream of mine. It is beautiful, but a dream is just a dream after all. There will be a day when I will wake up."

"When you wake up from a dream, everything will become an illusion."

Gu Xingzhi quietly peeled chestnuts for a long time before he asked, "Mianmian, do you regret falling in love with him?"

Gu Mian shook his head gently, "I don't know, because I don't dare to look back, I don't dare to relive all the ups and downs again."

"Then don't look back." Gu Xingzhi handed her the peeled chestnuts and said, "Just keep going forward."

......

In the evening, the two left the school facing the sunset.

Gu Xingzhi took her to a noodle restaurant at the back door of the school for dinner.

"God of care?"

As soon as he sat down, Gu Xingzhi was recognized.

A simple-minded young man at the next table stood up and walked over. "You are so kind! I haven't heard from you in all these years. Where have you been?"

"Squad leader." Gu Xingzhi greeted with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Yeah, I'm almost bald, how come you're still so handsome!" The squad leader saw Gu Mian at a glance, "God Gu, is this your girlfriend? You two are so good-looking, you're a perfect match!"

"She is not my girlfriend." Gu Xingzhi explained, "She is also a junior sister in our school."

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." The monitor smiled innocently, "Hey, I'm so happy to see you. It just so happens that we have a class reunion the day after tomorrow. You can bring your junior sister to join us! We haven't seen you for a long time, and we always mention you at every reunion!"

“I may not have the time.”

"Even if you don't have time, you have to make time." The squad leader said earnestly, "It's just a gathering. It won't take up too much of your time. Please pay attention. Am I not giving you enough face?"

Gu Xingzhi couldn't resist, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Great!" The class monitor looked at Gu Mian, "Little sister, you must come too. There are several classes together at this reunion. Maybe you can meet your own classmates."

"What a coincidence! I was planning to go there too."

When Gu Mian came back this time, she also contacted her high school deskmate who she used to be good friends with to plan a reunion. This morning, she heard from her deskmate that she would take her to the class reunion.

"That's great, it's a deal."

The squad leader immediately added Gu Xingzhi’s WeChat.

After dinner, Gu Xingzhi drove Gu Mian back to the hotel.

The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Gu Mian unbuckled his seat belt and said, "You go back. I can get in by myself."

“I live here, too.”

"What a coincidence?"

Gu Mian found this hotel near the Chinese Medicine Hall for the convenience of going to work.

The two of them went upstairs together, and what was even more coincidental was that Gu Xingzhi's room was right next to Gu Mian's.

Gu Mian took a shower, put on his bathrobe, and snuggled in the lazy sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking red wine.

She hasn't slept well these days and can only drink some wine to help her sleep.

The cell phone suddenly rang. It was Yan Mu calling.

Gu Mian opened the phone and answered, "Lawyer Yan?"

"Gu Mian, aren't you in the imperial capital?"

"I'm in Haicheng, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Gu Mian said, "If it's about divorce, you can find my lawyer."

Yan Mu smiled and said, "We are friends too, so why can't you allow me to chat with you?"

"Of course."

"Gu Mian, did you go to Haicheng to avoid Ting Shen?"
