I want to talk to you
"Then I'll go back."
"Okay, I'll come pick you up."
The two sat quietly, neither of them mentioning letting go.
Around 7 or 8 o'clock, Chen Shengxu took Gu Yu back to school and bought milk tea and some fruit as compensation for his roommate.
Gu Yu said, "Tell me when it arrives tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go inside, it's cold outside."
Bye-bye, see you on New Year's Day.
Bye-bye, see you on New Year's Day.

Gu Yu placed an order for yarn these past few days; she wants to knit a snowman doll for Chen Shengxu.
Anyway, I've finished a few courses, so I'm pretty free. I just start knitting as soon as I open my eyes every day.
It was also finished before New Year's Day.
I told Chen Shengxu when I was going back, and he waited for me half an hour early.
Gu Yu saw him holding a bunch of blue star flowers at the exit.
Chen Shengxu took the suitcase. "I've already booked a taxi."
After dropping Gu Yu off at home, he went to Lao Chen's company.
I was thinking of resting first after I got back, and that we would have time to meet in three days.
But unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes.
On the first day, she went out with her family.
He returned to his hometown the next day.
I went directly back to school from my hometown.
Chen Shengxu was really crying his eyes out.
They've come back, but we didn't get to see each other again.
Brother Du teased him, "What's wrong? You seemed pretty happy the other day."
"She went back to school without even seeing me once..."
"Then you must be having a tough time."
"Ha ha…"
Gu Yu hadn't expected that she wouldn't even be able to send out the little snowman. She didn't want to wait until she came back for the New Year to give it to him, so she chose to mail it and informed Chen Shengxu in advance.
Chen Shengxu was no longer downcast after learning that Gu Yu had prepared a gift for him; he was happy.
I received the little snowman from Gu Yu in four or five days. It was chubby and looked adorable.
He posted it on his WeChat Moments and bragged about it, even following Brother Du around and showing off.
Brother Du smiled and said, "I advise you to restrain yourself, or I might get so excited that I'll throw it at you."
Chen Shengxu became honest.

In mid-January, after Gu Yu finished her final exams, Chen Shengxu came to pick her up again.
She asked, "Aren't you going to ask me out?"
"You must be very tired from your journey back today, so please get some rest."
Okay.
A few days later, Chen Shengxu asked her to go out.
The two went to have lunch first, and then Chen Shengxu took her to a pottery shop.
They listened attentively to the teacher's explanation.
When it came time to finally get to the item, Chen Shengxu held the one in his hand and blinked helplessly at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was delighted and went to help him.
"I'm planning to make a cup, what about you?"
"Then I'll make a cup holder."
"good."
What they did wasn't difficult, and the requirements weren't high; they finished it in an hour or two.
Gu Yu drew a yellow kitten on it, and Chen Shengxu drew a yellow puppy.
The boss told them they could pick it up in two to three weeks, so just in case, the task was handed over to Chen Shengxu.
It was still early, so Gu Yu took him for a stroll on the pedestrian street.
As I was walking, I saw someone selling spiders at a stall.
Gu Yu's curiosity was piqued.
She asked, "Can I try it?"
Shopkeeper: "Sure, I'll try it for you."
Gu Yu stretched out her hand, and the shopkeeper grabbed a small one and placed it in her palm.
"Huh? It feels tingly, such a unique sensation."
"If you like, you can buy one. They're easy to care for and don't need to be fed often."
What does it eat?
"Mealworms, live ones, crickets, and the like."
"Ugh... I'm terrified of these wriggling worms, they're disgusting."
Chen Shengxu: "If you want it, just buy it. I'll feed it for you. I'm not afraid." He could tell that Gu Yu wanted it, but found the bugs disgusting, so he reassured her.
"How much is this one, boss?"
Fifty-eight.
"Then I'll take it."
Chen Shengxu paid the bill, and Gu Yu listened to the shopkeeper tell her some precautions. Afraid that she wouldn't remember them, he directly took a breeding guide, a pair of tweezers, and a small box of mealworms.
Gu Yu, carrying the paper bag, asked, "What should we call it?"
"Xiao Ba?"
"Sure! Let's call him Xiao Ba."
"Where should we keep it? At home?"
Can I put it there?
"Can."
"Then you can leave it there for now. I'll ask my roommate later if she agrees to let me bring it to the dorm."
"good."
Gu Yu asked about it in the group chat that evening.
Roommate #1: [Sure, I'm not afraid of spiders.]
Roommate #2: [No objection.]
Roommate #3: [Add one.]
Roommate #3: [Actually, I also wanted to ask if I could bring my corn snake to the dorm.]
Roommate #3: [Image]
My response: 【Oh! So beautiful, what breed is it?】
Roommate #3: [Snow White.]
Roommate #1: [Sure, sure, I want to touch it. Will it bite?]
Roommate #2: [I brought it too, I want to pet it too! I wanted to keep a Black King Kong pet, but my family wouldn't allow it, *crying*]
Roommate #3: [You can pet it, it doesn't bite, it's very well-behaved.]
My question: [What's your name?]
Roommate #3: [Little Darling.]
My response: 【So cute!】
Gu Yu sent the chat history to Chen Shengxu.
My comment: 【So cute!】
I like Xiao Chen +1: [If you like it, you can buy one.]
I like Xiao Chen +1: [I checked and it's around 600-700, not bad.]
My response: "[Then forget it. It seems like it would be too much trouble, and it would be difficult if I didn't like it anymore.]"
My answer: [But I can still mooch off my roommate.]
I like Xiao Chen +1: [Great~]

After the New Year, Gu Yu's high school class held a reunion.
Like Xiao Chen +1: [Tell me when it's over, I'll come pick you up.]
My response: 【Okay.】
Chen Shengxu muttered to Xiao Ba, "Son, your mother went to see her old classmates. I'm keeping you company today. It won't be long before I have a proper status. Aren't you happy? You must be happy too..."
Gu Yu and Yu Cihuan went together.
There were already some people in the private room, and the two of them sat together.
Everyone was talking about university life, and whenever I saw them on the weekend, I would come over and chat with them.
He asked Gu Yu, "How's university?"
"very nice."
On the weekend, she raised an eyebrow and wondered, "Is college life good, or are the people I met in college good?"
"Yes, we have both."
Best wishes.
Thanks.
"Hey, hey, why didn't you ask me?" Yu Cihuan said.
Have you met someone you like?
"No."
How's university life?
"That's it."
"See, it wasn't a waste of time to ask you."
"Hahahahahahahaha..." Gu Yu laughed.
"Hey, did you get back together with him?"
"Not yet, he didn't mention it."
Yu Cihuan said, "He has a plan, and it shouldn't be long before it's done."
Weekend: "Let's elaborate."
"I won't tell you, or I'll make you furious."
"Hey! You!"
Even without him saying it, Gu Yu could guess that he simply wanted to make himself even more powerful.
During lunch, someone apologized to someone they had previously clashed with in class and made up with them.
Gu Yu rolled his eyes inwardly and started loading the cargo.
She will not forgive people she dislikes; those she dislikes have all done something wrong, and she will never forgive them.
I'm speechless over the weekend. I don't know what they're pretending to be, trying to act all magnanimous? And then what? It's just making them a laughingstock.
Yu Cihuan was amused and lowered his head to suppress his laughter, his shoulders shaking.
I received a phone call over the weekend saying that a dear younger sister of mine had passed away, so I left in a hurry.
After eating, Gu Yu, Yu Cihuan, and Chen Shengxu went to play somewhere else for a while.
Seven days later.
Fish: [Brother, are you alright?]
Weekend: [It's alright. Actually, I knew this day would come; it was just a matter of time.]
Weekend: [That's good, she won't have to come to the hospital so often to smell the disinfectant anymore.]
Fish: [What illness does she have?]
Weekend: [Congenital heart disease.]
Yu Cihuan's heart skipped a beat; it couldn't be hers.
Fish: [What's her name?]
Weekend: [Tang Yu Er]
Yu Cihuan's vision blurred instantly.
"It's fake, right..."
Broken sobs escaped from her throat; she couldn't hold back any longer, and her hysterical cries reverberated, making her chest ache.
She cried until she vomited, her nails dug deep into her palms, and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.
He suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.
I can't get it to work.
He didn't know how much time had passed, only that he must be in a terrible state right now.
With trembling hands, he asked for the address of the cemetery for the weekend, and then called Chen Shengxu.
"What's up?"
"Tang Yu'er is dead..." The voice that came out was hoarse and unpleasant.
"Wait, wait, wait," Chen Shengxu grabbed his coat and walked out, "You must have made a mistake, how could this be so sudden?"
"It's true...she's gone..."
"wait for me!"
Chen Shengxu didn't dare hang up the phone and took a taxi to his house.
Enter the password and you'll be logged in.
Seeing Yu Cihuan hiding under the covers, they pulled him out.
"What exactly happened? Why is the weekend being dragged into this?"
“That day, our class reunion ended early over the weekend. He said someone had passed away, and then…” He choked up, “and then today, I asked him, and he said it was Tang Yu’er… I…”
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence of names."
“Congenital heart disease, Tang Yu’er, she’s the only person I know, only her…” Yu Cihuan wiped away her tears, “I don’t know what to do, I can’t accept it… really, I can’t accept it…”
Chen Shengxu pressed his head down onto his shoulder, saying, "It will all pass."
The only response he received was Yu Cihuan's broken sobs.
He stayed with Yu Cihuan at his house for five days before he looked a little better, and he also told Gu Yu about it during that time.
Gu Yu cried at home as well.
Chen Shengxu: "Shall we go see her?"
"go."
"I'll call Gu Yu, let's go together."
"good."
Yu Cihuan carefully washed his face, hair, and took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.
He and Chen Shengxu waited for Gu Yu at the intersection, and then the three of them went to the cemetery together.
I bought a bouquet of flowers on the way.
After arriving, I asked the manager and then went over.
When Yu Cihuan saw the photo, the person looked almost exactly like the one he remembered.
So this is what you'll look like a few years from now.
Gu Yu had initially thought it was just a coincidence of names, but the moment he saw the photo, he couldn't hold back his tears and turned his head away.
Chen Shengxu gritted his teeth and reached out to squeeze Yu Cihuan's shoulder.
He and Gu Yu bowed and walked down, leaving Yu Cihuan alone.
Gu Yu squatted down and cried softly. Chen Shengxu stood beside her, looking up, tears streaming down his face.
Yu Cihuan sat down cross-legged, looking at the photo, just looking at her.
Until my legs went numb.
He raised his hand and touched the photo.
He said, "Tang Yu'er, I want to talk to you."
