Chapter 60 She is not the one in my heart
Gu Xiangsi packed up her things, put the box into a bag and carried it with her. Just as she walked out of the room, the door of the presidential suite next door opened.
"Student Gu?"
Duan Jingwen raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "You booked the presidential suite. Are you going to enjoy your single life?"
Gu Xiangsi pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression a little unnatural: "Hello, Mr. Duan."
"Hey, no need to call me that." Duan Jingwen waved his hand, "Just call me Jingwen, we're still high school classmates."
Gu Xiangsi was about to say something else when the door of the presidential suite opened completely. Fu Sinian suddenly appeared at the door, followed by Jiang Liangchen, Lu Liang and others, who walked out one after another.
Gu Xiangsi froze in place, her gaze sweeping across his bloodshot eyes.
He looks like this, could it be that he got angry yesterday and booked a room next door?
She calmed herself down and nodded slightly: "I'll go first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked quickly towards the elevator.
"Hey, Si Nian." Jiang Liangchen looked at her from behind and joked, "Have you become a monster? Classmate Gu ran away when he saw you. Didn't you guys yesterday..."
As he spoke, he touched his two thumbs together and made a gesture.
Fu Sinian glanced at him and said, "You love gossip so much, you should be a reporter."
"Forget it!" Jiang Liangchen shrugged. "I'd rather rely on my old capital and play it safe. Being a reporter is not for humans."
As they talked, they walked towards the elevator.
At this moment, the elevator opened with a "ding" sound. Gu Xiangsi rushed in and quickly pressed the door closing button.
Fu Sinian took a look and sneered, then turned around and pressed the button for another elevator nearby.
Gu Xiangsi's heart was still pounding until she got into the taxi. She felt ashamed of what she had done yesterday.
Gu Xiangsi returned to her apartment, had a video chat with Nanyu and Qin Shiwei about their recent situation, and then hung up the phone.
She cooked a bowl of egg noodles for herself and while eating, she suddenly remembered that today was that person's birthday again.
She picked up her phone and pondered the screen for a long time, but still didn't know how to send it.
Just when I was in a daze, an unfamiliar phone call came in.
She hesitated for a moment and then picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Student Gu, this is Duan Jingwen." A voice came from the other end of the phone.
Gu Xiangsi: "Master Duan is looking for me, is there something wrong?"
"Can we meet? Chat for a while."
Gu Xiangsi went to the appointment with a nervous mood.
In a tea restaurant in Causeway Bay, Duan Jingwen waved to Gu Xiangsi. As she walked over, she happened to catch the waiter bringing the food: fish balls, pork chop buns... these were the signature dishes of the place.
Gu Xiangsi glanced at the food on the table and smiled: "Master Duan, have you not finished lunch yet, or have you already started dinner?"
Duan Jingwen also smiled and motioned for her to sit down: "I poured you a cup of milk tea without your permission."
"I'm not picky." Gu Xiangsi sat down and asked directly, "What exactly does Master Duan want to talk to me about?"
"Do you know what day it is today?"
Gu Xiangsi nodded.
"Si Nian hasn't celebrated his birthday for five years." Duan Jingwen looked at her, "And you should have seen the bloodshot in his eyes today."
Gu Xiangsi continued to nod, but she couldn't guess what Duan Jingwen was going to say.
"He suffers from insomnia."
Gu Xiangsi was stunned: "How could that be? He used to..."
"You said it was in the past."
Duan Jingwen interrupted her, "You and I were high school classmates, and I won't hide it from you. After you broke up, Si Nian overate for three months straight, and we stayed with him all night, unable to sleep."
As he was talking about what happened to Fu Sinian in the past, Gu Xiangsi sat there, completely frozen and motionless.
Hong Kong City University was where they both studied together.
Duan Jingwen said that every year on his birthday, Fu Sinian would stay alone in the school garden.
That was where they broke up.
Gu Xiangsi only felt her chest tightening again and again, the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
She returned home in a daze and hid in the bathroom, letting the shower water pour over her head.
Looking up, I couldn't tell whether the water on my face were tears or water droplets in the mist.
She had thought that Fu Sinian would be upset about what happened back then, but she had never thought it would reach this point, even causing him to suffer from insomnia.
Guilt flooded over her like a tide, almost drowning her.
Duan Jingwen's words were like a blunt knife, breaking her heart into pieces.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Xiangsi stood in front of the main building of Gangcheng University.
The Edwardian red bricks and gray tiles exude elegance in the night.
The redbud flowers in front of the building are in full bloom, their purple-red petals glowing under the street lights, hanging heavily on the branches.
In the cold of winter night, this rich color is like a warm fire, diluting the chill in the wind.
Gu Xiangsi walked forward on the cobblestone road, following the direction in her memory, and sure enough, she saw the familiar figure on the garden bench.
Just as he was about to approach, a woman suddenly came forward and hugged him from behind.
Gu Xiangsi paused and froze in place.
"Brother Si Nian, happy birthday."
The woman's voice floated over.
Fu Sinian's body suddenly stiffened, and he pulled her away with his backhand, his voice cold: "Why are you here?"
"I made a cake specially for you. Can I celebrate your birthday with you?"
The woman was half-crouching opposite him in an intimate posture.
Gu Xiangsi couldn't see the expressions of the two people clearly, but he could only hear the woman's voice rising a little: "Brother Si Nian, what's so good about Gu Xiangsi? Are you still waiting for her?"
"I, Fu Sinian, never have to wait for anyone." His voice was like ice. "She is not the one in my heart."
These words rang like thunder in Gu Xiangsi's ears.
She should have thought of it earlier, but when she heard it with her own ears, her heart still sank.
She staggered back two steps and ran back along the gravel road. Her feet lost control and she bumped into someone with a "bang".
Li Xiaoyao looked up, his face full of surprise: "Miss Gu? Are you here to celebrate the young master's birthday? I'll take you there."
Gu Xiangsi lowered her head and wiped away her tears. When she looked up, a smile was already on her face: "No, someone already accompanies him."
She handed over the bag in her hand, "Here you go. The clothes are clean."
After saying that, she trotted away.
Li Xiaoyao walked into the garden with something in his hand, looking puzzled, and saw Duan Jingjia sitting on the ground, while Fu Sinian was standing beside her, looking at her with cold eyes.
"After today, the friendship between you and me since childhood will be severed."
Fu Sinian's voice was cold, "Duan Jingjia, if you continue like this, I won't give face to anyone."
He took off his coat in disgust and threw it away.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the haute couture coat and was secretly amazed.
Fu Sinian glanced at what he was holding and frowned: "What's in your hand?"
"Miss Gu seemed to have run into you just now... She asked me to give this to you and she trotted off."
"Hahaha." Duan Jingjia burst into laughter and tears. "She left without a second thought back then, and now she's back and acting so distant towards you... Brother Si Nian, can't you see that?"
"She doesn't care about you that much."
Fu Sinian's face darkened. He ignored Duan Jingjia, stepped forward to take the bag, took out the windbreaker inside and put it on.
"What's the other bag?"
Li Xiaoyao handed it over.
One box contained a Cartier diamond-encrusted turtle brooch, and the other contained a classic gray scarf.
His fingertips stroked the soft fabric, and the low pressure around him seemed to dissipate a little, and his eyes softened a little.
"Where did she go?"
"Miss Gu looked a little sad and ran towards the teaching building."
"Put your things in the car first."
"Where is Miss Duan?" Li Xiaoyao looked at the pitiful woman who fell to the ground with tears streaming down her face.
Fu Sinian turned around and said, "I have already informed Duan Jingwen."
After saying this, he walked towards the teaching building.
