The black SUV was speeding on the airport expressway. Gu Xiuli's expression was tense, and his slender fingers were clenched on the steering wheel. He thought that that little woman Lin Moxin would break up with him so decisively without even quarreling.

He planned to leave without even hesitating, and his eyes were in a trance because of the day when Lin Moxin was drunk and acted coquettishly in front of him, pouting and saying: "Xiu Li, you are back...come...kiss...kiss...

"The charming look.

How could such a straightforward and enthusiastic girl choose to leave silently like this? It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!

He didn't know what was accumulating in his chest. He just felt it was a little difficult to breathe. But halfway through the journey, he suddenly looked at the time, hesitated, picked up the phone and called his secretary: "Check it in half an hour."

There are flights to Beijing within 24 hours until tomorrow morning. There are also flights from Beijing to Los Angeles and Boston within 24 hours. Please tell me the boarding time."

The secretary was in front of the computer. He quickly checked and replied: "Deputy Bureau, from tonight to early morning, there are three flights from G City to Beijing. The earliest one is at 10:05 pm, and then the next one is at 1:25 am.

, and at 4:40 in the morning, flying from Beijing..."

Before the secretary could finish speaking, Gu Xiuli suddenly stopped the car. The sharp braking sound startled the secretary on the other side of the phone, who was stunned for a moment.

Gu Xiuli took a look at the time and saw that it was less than 7 p.m. Since Lin Moxin had not recovered from pneumonia, she would not arrive at the airport too early.

****

Famous water garden city.

When she walked into the apartment that had given her a dream-like life for more than a month, she looked at the mess on the floor and sofa, as well as the blanket on the sofa, and knew that Gu Xiuli had not been home these days.

Everything was still the same as when she was taken away by Bai Biyi that day.

It actually gave her the illusion that nothing had happened these days and she was just having a nightmare.

After looking at it blankly for a while, she suddenly sighed and smiled. For so many days, she had only given herself that one sleepless night to feel sad and miserable.

I still remember that she once specifically asked Gu Xiuli what his zodiac sign was, and he said it was November 8, Scorpio.

What Lin Moxin didn't say at that time was that her birthday was at the end of October, and she was also a Scorpio.

Once people of this zodiac sign identify a person, they will be very dedicated, so dedicated that they are crazy, and so dedicated that they are stupid, but they are dispensable to other people. In their world, they only have people and people related to them.

There are two types of people who have nothing to do with themselves, but the only thing they can't stand is betrayal and deception.

Lin Moxin thought highly of herself. In Gu Xiuli's heart, except for Ji Xinyao, no one could really walk in. Even if there was another woman by his side, his heart was not here. Maybe he just wanted to get married.

, maybe he just has a slight liking for her, maybe he just doesn't hate her, or maybe...it was Ji Xinyao who had set them up in the beginning.

In fact, she and Gu Xiuli were the same type of people. She might have been really persistent and tried to keep this man close to her. She even didn't see him when she woke up from a high fever and coma. She told herself again and again that he was

It's just that he was busy with work, and after knowing the truth, he was forcing himself to forgive him. The two children were his nephews after all, so it was understandable that he would not care about himself after such a big thing happened.

It wasn't until he heard Ji Xinyao fainting and let go of her hand without hesitation that she realized that Lin Moxin now was no different from herself five years ago, too stupid and too self-righteous.

.

He doesn't love her at all, he just needs a woman who is pleasing to his eyes by his side.

In G City at the end of October, the early winter wind whistled outside the window. Lin Moxin walked into the bedroom to pack her luggage while coughing. She didn't bring much when she came, just two suitcases and some clothes.

, some daily necessities, and some new clothes she bought on the street after returning to G City.

When she was packing to the edge of the cabinet, she saw the two sets of couple's pajamas placed in the corner. She bought them secretly once and wanted to wear them with him on his birthday. As an adult in his twenties,

As a woman, she doesn't know how she can be so easily satisfied just like this. She is so naive that as long as he is willing to wear couple's pajamas with her.

In fact, it was just because the affection he gave her was always lukewarm, always too little, that's why she was so careful and nervous, trying to fight for every moment of love and warmth.

His fingers brushed over his pajamas without stopping, and he took some of his favorite underwear from the drawer. After packing them up, he glanced at the time. It was 7:50. The road to the airport was a bit far. If he took a taxi to the airport now, it would just be the time.

Okay, I pulled my suitcase and walked directly to the door. Before going out, I put the key and door card on the solid wooden shelf aside. I lowered my head and put on my shoes. After a moment, I reached out and was about to open the door, but the door in front of me was suddenly opened by someone.

It was opened outside.

Her hands froze in the air for a moment, and she raised her eyes in surprise. She saw Gu Xiuli, who was rushing back from nowhere, breathing a little hurriedly. He glanced at her first, but she hadn't seen it clearly yet.

With the emotion in his eyes, he suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at the suitcase in her hand.

While she was in a daze, Gu Xiuli raised his eyes to look at her, his always calm and self-possessed eyes filled with anxiety and gloom: "Lin Moxin, is leaving without saying goodbye your specialty?"

Lin Moxin only lost consciousness for a moment before she looked intently into his eyes. She had originally thought about saying goodbye to him calmly before leaving, but later she discovered that once she truly loved someone, she would

In the end, you can't really be calm, and besides, she has nothing to say to him.

Seeing the slight curve at the corner of her mouth, Gu Xiuli's eyes tightened: "Do you really want to leave?"

Lin Moxin smiled: "I'm sorry. I asked Lin Qicheng to convey everything I should say to you. I wanted to leave quietly just to avoid embarrassment. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize and I can let you know."

Is it open?"

Her eyes were bright, and although her voice was much hoarse than usual, every word fell into his ears clearly.

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Xiuli to say anything else, she lowered her head, picked up her suitcase, and walked past him. Just as she was about to pass by him, her wrist suddenly tightened. She paused and was dragged back by him.

, he didn't use heavy force, he just asked her to turn around, and she was forced to look at him.

"I apologize for my neglect to you these days. If you have any grievances, you can tell me. You can cry, hit or scold. I can explain about Ji Xinyao. If you have any questions, we can sit down and talk.

, whether it’s a knot of heart or a misunderstanding, or..."

Lin Moxin gently took her hand out of his and raised her eyes to meet his.

"I'm not wronged," she said.

Gu Xiuli was about to grab the suitcase in her hand when he stopped and looked up at her expression, as if he understood what she meant instantly.

"There is no misunderstanding between us, it's just that we don't love each other. People, you have to be happy in life. Don't you feel very restricted if you keep someone you don't love by your side? Even I have hated myself for so long.

I have always been passionate about you, now I have seen it clearly, and I am no longer so crazy about you. I used to be so affectionate towards you.

I pestered you arm-in-arm, with a confident expression on my face that you would definitely fall in love with me. You must have thought I was an idiot at the time, well... I was indeed a bit of an idiot." She smiled as she spoke, her eyes looking away without a trace.

Looking at him: "Since you blocked the door, I can't leave without saying goodbye. So, let's have a formal farewell."

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Gu Xiuli suddenly found that he was a little afraid of what she would say next, and quickly turned his eyes away: "Don't stand outside the door, let's go in and talk..."

"Gu Xiuli, goodbye." She looked at him.

When the tall and straight figure turned around to open the door wider, his movements were momentarily slow until he stopped.

Before parting, what he gave her was still his back.

Lin Moxin curled her lips in relief, turned around and left.

Gu Xiuli did not turn around to look at her, but listened to her determined footsteps and frowned: "Maybe, I just deliberately wrapped myself in the obsession of the past and refused to accept everything now, including you..."

Lin Moxin paused.

"Lin Moxin, actually I treat you..."

"When I was young, I always had a dream." Lin Moxin interrupted him. Both of them turned their backs to each other and did not look back. She held the stretching rod of the suitcase and said calmly: "I want to be a

As a pianist, playing my favorite Green Sleeves on the world stage, or touring around the world, my fingers are still fine, I am only in my twenties, and I can still stick to my dream..."

"I have read all the books my dad prepared for me. I still need more time and energy to work hard on the adult self-study exam. Not long ago, I took the wrong direction in my life, and now I always have to turn back.

People are not afraid of taking the wrong path, but they are afraid of not turning back.”

Gu Xiuli didn't speak anymore or move.

She could only hear his breathing, which was shallow but powerful.

"So Gu Xiuli, goodbye." The elevator opened in front of her, and Lin Moxin stepped in.

Before the elevator door was about to close, she heard him say very softly: "Happy birthday."

Lin Moxin raised her eyes and looked at his back until the elevator door closed, quickly separating them into two worlds.
