sat obediently in his child seat.I was too tired, and fell asleep shortly after.Huo Shaoting stopped the car at the intersection. He turned his head to look at Wen Man in the back seat and said softly...Night.
Wen Man received a phone call from Gu Jingjing, Gu Changqing's younger sister. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Wen Man, my brother is gone! Can you come see him one last time"
Wen Man was dazed for a moment.
The last time I saw Gu Changqing was at the school anniversary celebration.
Gu Jingjing sobbed, "He was in a car accident! He's on his last breath, but he keeps calling your name. He still holds the peace lock you gave him."
The phone slipped from Wen Man's hand...
Late at night, she appeared in the hospital wearing a black dress.
Gu Changqing, after all, was never able to wait for her.
A white cloth covered his face.
The Gu family was crying inside, heartbroken. Ignoring Gu Changqing's character, he had always been the pillar of support for Gu Chang. But now, he was suddenly gone.
When Wen Man came over, Gu Jingjing burst into tears: "Brother, Wen Man is here!"
Wen Man walked over slowly.
Under the blazing white light, she gently lifted the white cloth. Gu Changqing's face had been wiped clean, pale as usual, except for being a little paler than normal.
Wen Man gently caressed his face, whispering: "Gu Changqing, our past grievances are long gone, I no longer blame you! Why must you be like this"
He was in a car accident near her house.
When the ambulance arrived, he was clutching a safety lock.
Wen Man's heart was filled with indescribable complexity.
She had loved Gu Changqing, and she had hated him deeply as well. But all that love and hate was about to disappear with his death. There would be no more Gu Changqing in this world.
Tears, sliding down from the corner of her eyes...
She slowly covered him with the white cloth and whispered, "Goodbye, Gu Changqing!"
Wen Man didn't stay long and soon left.
As they reached the corridor, Gu Jingjing caught up.
"Wen Man!"
Wen Man turned her head.
Gu Jingjing walked over slowly, her voice hoarse from crying: "Brother entrusted me with two things before he left! He said he wanted you to take a look."
A peace amulet and a key.
Gu Jingjing covered her lips and said, "I asked for a peace lock for you but didn't ask one for myself."
Wen Man took it silently.
Gu Jingjing sniffed and spoke again, "Wen Man, my mom can't bring herself to do it. She asked me to apologize to you. She said that if she had persuaded my brother back then, maybe you two could have been very happy! He...really liked you! Wen Man, I'm most afraid that you don't believe he liked you... These years, he hasn't lived well!"
Wen Man wasn't doing well either.
Whose first love doesn't leave a deep impression!
He met such a tragic end again.
Wen Man sat in the car. Lao Zhao looked at her expression and softly asked, "Madam, are we going home now or..."
Wen Man lowered her head.
In his hand was the key.
She whispered, "I want to go somewhere!"
Lao Zhao didn't ask any more questions. He drove the car directly to an old residential complex in the eastern part of the city. He thoughtfully waited in the car instead of following up.
Wen Man went up alone.
Many years ago, the Gu family lived here temporarily because they were down on their luck. The 80-square-meter place housed the entire Gu family.
Back then, Wen Man would often come over to cook for Gu Changqing.
He is always busy...
When he came back, she often fell asleep on the table.
Here, her entire youth unfolded.
She opened the door. Inside, it was much like before, only with a few added things. It was clear that someone came by often to clean up, even with a plate of washed fruit on the table.
On the wall, hung a huge painting.
This is a picture of them together on campus.
A 20-something Wen Man confessed to Gu Changqing...
In the bedroom, by the bed is also their picture.
Wen Man stood quietly for a while, then walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. There were many fruits and vegetables inside. She calmly took out some of them and made two simple dishes and a soup, which Gu Changqing loved to eat.
After she was finished, she carried the dishes to the table.
Wen Man thought, if people have souls, they would remember to come back for dinner!
When she left, Wen Man left the keys behind.
After this, she won't be coming back!
As I went downstairs, a gust of cold wind hit my face, sending shivers down my spine.
Wen Man didn't know if they would have lived happily ever after if he hadn't betrayed her all those years ago. But she knew that all choices were irreversible. She had loved Gu Changqing, but at the end of his life, all she could do for him was cook a meal...

Downstairs, the scene was somewhat chaotic.
Ding Cheng came, along with several members of the Gu family. Especially Gu Jingjing held onto Ding Cheng and cried out, "My brother is gone, Ding Cheng, what are you still making a fuss about"
She was so excited that her heart pounded, staring at Wen Man: "He died for you!"
He came to me, pleading for you! He went back to see you after that, and until his death, he kept thinking of you… He even kept this place in such good condition, coming here every week to clean and wait! Wen Man, have you ever thought about him at all
……
Dingcheng was filled with despair and jealousy.
She seemed insane, and everyone around her was holding her back.
Wen Man said very calmly, "I'm married!"
Gu Changqing is dead...
She might have a tinge of sadness, perhaps some sorrow, but she couldn't reciprocate the same feelings. Missed opportunities are missed, especially considering what Gu Changqing had done to the Wen family before.
Lao Zhao opened the car door for her.
Wen Man got into the car, her nose slightly red, and said softly, "Drive!"
The black RV drove away slowly.
Tangerine was still making a fuss, she didn't understand that the one who had skin-to-skin contact with Gu Changqing in the end was her, but he was still thinking about Wen Man. The Gu family gave Wen Man the most precious things to Gu Changqing.
On an autumn night, the rain intensified.
Dingcheng knelt on the ground, crying out in pain...u Qian closed his eyes slightly.The door creaked open, and Liu the secretary came to greet them. Seeing the empty room, she eased the tension with a smile: "Have the two little ones been sent off alre...
