I Will Always Love You

"Sorry..." Gu Ningshu's voice was vain, as if it came from the horizon, "I'm not good."

"Knowing that I am not good, I will come back quickly. I warn you that the boys chasing me have already lined up from the gate of the class to the gate of the school. If you don't come back before the Chinese New Year, I will run away with someone else. "Cheng Shitong said fiercely while shedding tears down.

"..." The voice on the other side of the phone paused for a few seconds, and only even breathing sounded in her ears.

For a long time, she heard his voice and asked with a wry smile: "Tongtong, don't cry."

"Why are you crying? Who said I was crying!?" Cheng Shitong reached out and wiped her eyes. Mom, why did her tears fall more and more.

"Do you know everything?"

"what do you know?"

"Know that I...I'm sick..." Gu Ningshu's voice sounded cautious. It felt like a person walking on a steel wire hanging in the air. As long as the wind blows gently, it will fall. general.

"Um..." Cheng Shitong responded softly, and then asked in a dull voice, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I want to tell you when I get better, I'm afraid you are worried..."

"But if you don't tell me, I'll be more worried, okay!?" Cheng Shitong yelled towards the phone angrily: "Do you know how sad I have been in the past few months? A great living person said If you don’t see it, you can’t find it. Do you know how much I want to beat you!?"

"Well, when I go back, let you beat me up." Gu Ningshu chuckled lightly, and whispered towards the phone.

"Wait for you to come back!" After Cheng Shitong said a few more words to him, he heard someone over there asking him to hang up and rest early.

When she hung up the phone, she looked up and glanced at the still rain outside the house. The depressed mood for such a long time seemed to ease a lot.

When she returned to the house, she found Xiaotu and Gu Chengji staring straight into her eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Shitong stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes again: "The wind is strong outside, and the sand is blowing in."

"Oh..." Xiaotu and Gu Chengji lowered their heads at the same time.

After sitting in Gu Ningshu's house for a while, Cheng Shitong and Xiaotu stood up and left.

Gu Chengji took them all the way to the bus stop at the gate of the community, and watched them get on the bus before turning around and going back.

The rain was still falling, and in the empty house, he looked at the place where Cheng Shitong had been sitting just now, and he was in a daze for a long time.

The little girl who pestered him back then has grown up so much...

Cheng Shitong...

This name he has been chanting for many years...

The cold and rainy December just passed.

Not long after the New Year's Day holiday in 2007, Cheng Zhiyan had returned from the school for the winter vacation with large and small bags of luggage.

When Xiaotu was over from school, he and Tang Xiaoyu walked to the school gate while discussing the plot of a romantic novel that he had just read yesterday. Suddenly he felt Tang Xiaoyu tugged his sleeves hard and said: "Little rabbit! Look! Look! There is a handsome guy at the school gate!!"

"Where?" The little rabbit glanced in the direction of Tang Xiaoyu's fingers inadvertently, but was stunned when he saw the familiar figure.
