Gu Mingxi shook his head: "It's okay, work is important. Look, you have been here for so many days and I haven't gone out with you much. I have let you stay in school. You should be bored, right?"

Pang Qian pounced on him and hugged him, saying, "It's not boring, just be with you."

The night before leaving, Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi went for a walk by the beach together.

There is a sea near Tongzhihua Primary School and a palm forest by the sea. However, it is located remotely and has not been developed into a scenic spot.

The beach by the sea is not delicate. Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian are walking shoulder to shoulder by the sea. There is no one around. They only have the sound of waves hitting the reefs and the whistle and sound of the sea breeze.

Far away from the city of steel and concrete, life here is simple and pure. Pang Qian seems to be able to understand Gu Mingxi's mood. These days, he rarely talks about the hardships over the years with her. What he talks the most is the happiness he felt after arriving in Sanya.

Gu Mingxi would talk about the students in his class, and they all knew them well. Tongzhihua Primary School is a Hope Primary School. The school’s hardware facilities and software teachers are not as good as public primary schools, so most of them are children of migrant workers and some nearby children from difficult families.

Gu Mingxi told Pang Qian that he felt that for these children, studying is the most fair and reasonable way to change their destiny, so he devoted himself to teaching work very seriously and never slacked off.

Speaking of the topic of reading, Gu Mingxi suddenly said: "I always thought you were studying for a master's degree. Pang Pang, why didn't you go to a master's degree later?"

Pang Qian looked at him: "I'm very busy at work, and projects come one after another. If I tell my leader to quit my job and go to school, he probably will kill me."

She told Gu Mingxi about her relationship with Zou Liwen. From Shanghai to E City, Zou Liwen taught Pang Qian a lot of things. If it weren't for him during the financial crisis, Pang Qian, who was still a rookie at that time, would probably have been unemployed.

Pang Qian smiled and said, "Actually, sometimes, I feel that my leader is a bit like you. I feel very at ease with him. If he hadn't been cold and cold, and the feeling you gave me, I would have really liked him."

Gu Mingxi squinted his eyes and asked, "What does I give you?"

"That's..." Pang Qian raised her face in front of him and smiled, "When you sway by my side every day, I don't think there is anything special about you, sometimes I feel annoyed. But later, when you are not by my side, I realized that I can never find anyone again and will be as good as you."

She hugged him gently and said, "Gu Mingxi, do you know that you spoiled me? I took it for granted that you have spoiled me for so many years. But I found that no one would spoil me like this anymore."

Gu Mingxi stood on the beach, the sea beside him was gentle and quiet. The waves kissed the reefs lightly, and the sea breeze blew the hair in their ears. A cold moon hung in the sky, and the white moonlight cast a narrow and long light on the dark sea surface. The light and shadow trembled with the shallow waves, flashing like silver scales.

There was a lighthouse in the distance, with red searchlight hitting the sea, bringing hope to the sailing ships to the long-distance ships to go home. Gu Mingxi looked at the lighthouse motionlessly, and the sea breeze blew the empty sleeves of his shirt. He didn't say anything, but gave Pang Qian an answer in his heart.

——Yes, Pang Pang, I can’t spoil another girl like this anymore.

Three days after New Year's Day, Pang Qian ended her holiday early, reluctantly bid farewell to Gu Mingxi, and flew back to City E to continue her busy work.

She brought the news about Gu Mingxi to her parents and told them that Gu Mingxi would go back to E City for the New Year. Pang Shuisheng was very happy, but Jin Aihua was depressed. While walking with Pang Qian, Jin Aihua asked her daughter: "What job is Mingxi doing now?"

"Elementary school teacher." Pang Qian replied, "teach English, mathematics and art."

“Is there any organization?”

"No." Pang Qian shook her head.

"Did he go to college later?"

Pang Qian continued to shake her head: "No."

"Then he only has a high school education?" Jin Aihua was both surprised and regretful. "It's such a pity that Mingxi was so good at studying before."

Pang Qian was speechless.

On the weekend, I went shopping with Zheng Qiaoqiao. Pang Qian dragged her to the men's clothing counter, picked up the latest down jacket, and bought a bunch of men's winter clothes, carrying eight shopping bags from top to bottom, from inside to outside.

Zheng Qiaoqiao was stunned: "Crab, have you got a boyfriend?"

Pang Qian smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Who is it? Is it from the bank you mentioned last time? Yu or something."

"No, you know it."

"I know?" Zheng Qiaoqiao was surprised, "It could not be Xie Yi, right?"

"You're so nervous!" Pang Qian screamed and dragged Zheng Qiaoqiao to the underground floor of the mall, where there was a bookstore. Pang Qian picked up a book called "My Crab Miss" and sent it to Zheng Qiaoqiao, "You are too out of date. Have you heard of this book now so popular now? Hurry up and buy one and go home to read it, and you'll know it after reading it."

Zheng Qiaoqiao looked at the crabs and ostrich on the cover and was so shocked that she jumped up: "Have you found Gu Mingxi?"

Pang Qian smiled: "That's right!"

Gu Mingxi's winter vacation was early. After the final exam, Doudou's mother came from Guangdong to pick Doudou up for the New Year. Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian called and said that he had booked a flight ticket to E City and would live at Shark's house first.

"My Shark and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I miss him very much." Gu Mingxi said on the phone, "He said that this year, he would close the shop in Shanghai earlier and return to E City for the New Year. He asked me to go there earlier and drink with him to reminisce about the past."

Pang Qian was very worried: "I originally wanted to go to Sanya to pick you up before the New Year. Is it okay for you to fly alone?"

"It's okay." Gu Mingxi smiled lightly, "Every year when I go to Z City to visit my mother's grave, I go alone. I can take care of myself. Pangpang, don't worry."

"This Qingming Festival, I'll go to Z City with you." Pang Qian said, "I'll accompany you to visit the aunt's grave, okay?"

"Yes." Gu Mingxi agreed, "My mother will definitely be very happy to see you coming."

The day before leaving, Gu Mingxi was packing his luggage alone at his home in Sanya Bay. He did it very slowly and it was very difficult, but he was not anxious at all, so he just packed it up slowly.

He sat on the floor, folded his clothes one by one with his feet, put them in plastic bags, and finally neatly stuffed a few plastic bags into his backpack. Midway through, he stood up, going back and forth to the room and bathroom, biting his teeth brushes, towels, and razors with his mouth...

He moved home many times. At the beginning, his mother helped him clean up, but later he was the only one left. He learned to pack and pack, and asked people from the express company to transport the boxes away. He carried only a large bag with him.

His bag contains his most important things, his household registration book, ID card, bank card, photo of him and his mother, as well as some photos and gadgets about Pang Qian.

He didn't dare to send these things to express delivery because he had once sent a box of clothes. Gu Mingxi could hardly imagine that he would lose Li Han and Pang Qian's things, so every time he moved, he would carry these memories with him.

After packing his luggage, Gu Mingxi didn't fall asleep very late. He simply got out of bed and walked to the living room and turned on the light.

He stood in the middle of the room and looked around. His house was decorated very simply because he had no money at that time. He remembered the scene when he had just stepped onto the land of Sanya. It was also a winter. He flew from the cold north to Sanya and got off the plane. Gu Mingxi was fainted by the shaking sun above his head.

The shark was waiting for him at the pick-up port. When he saw him, he helped him take off his thick coat and said, "In winter here, you can also have 30 degrees during the day. Be careful of heatstroke!"

The taxi was driving on the streets of Sanya, and Gu Mingxi looked at everything outside the car window curiously. There was no foggy sky, no biting cold wind, and some were just warm sunshine and clear air. White clouds were hanging on the blue sky, and the car drove across the coastline. There were tall coconut trees, big banyan trees hanging on the ground, and blooming bougainvilleas, a beautiful southern style.

The shark took a fancy to a large sea view house in a property located in Sanya Bay. He took Gu Mingxi to the on-site viewing room. When Gu Mingxi walked to the balcony, he was deeply attracted by the sea in front of him.

The shark patted his shoulder, lit a cigarette, and said, "Isn't it good? I knew you would like it. There is also a small apartment here, so you can consider it."

Gu Mingxi really took a fancy to a small apartment. At that time, his house was just a gray unfinished house, and the sea could be seen on the balcony. He walked around the house several times and thought to himself, let's settle down here.

In recent years, Gu Mingxi has added some things to his family like an ant moving. Finally, he brought back a little boy.

After the family had more Doudou, it became much more quarrel and chaos, but Gu Mingxi felt that this was more like a home.

Gu Mingxi did not deny that he had thought of settling in Sanya, even though it was thousands of miles away from his hometown, even if he had no relatives and no reason, he had thought of being a happy islander here from now on.

The past life only remains in his dreams. His former ideals, former ambitions, and those who once wanted to work hard for them are no longer by his side.

Gu Mingxi sometimes feels dazed and doesn't understand how he can get here step by step.

Walking in Tongzhihua Primary School, the students jumped past him and would happily call him: "Teacher Gu!"

The sixth grade class he taught had two students, one boy and one girl, the boy is from Guangxi, his parents work in Sanya, and the girl is from Sanya. The two grew up together and live close together. They go to school together and leave school every day. They are very good friends. However, before the final exam, the girl went to Gu Mingxi's office and cried to him that the boy was going back to his hometown in Guangxi after graduating from elementary school.

Look, there are stories of parting around us anytime and anywhere. Gu Mingxi can only comfort the girl. When she goes to junior high school, she will recognize her new friends and will not be so uncomfortable.

"You can write a letter to Qiu Zixuan, call, and chat with QQ." Gu Mingxi said, "If you have the chance, you will meet again."

"What if I can't see you! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo..." The girl cried so sadly, "Teacher Gu, I don't want new friends! I don't want to be separated from Qiu Zixuan!"

Gu Mingxi looked at the girl quietly without comforting her anymore. All the words of others were pale, and the bitterness of parting was no one could empathize with it.

Just like that year, Gu Mingxi took a train from Shanghai back to the north alone. He asked a male conductor to help him go to the toilet. After getting on, he hid alone in the small bathroom of the train, and cried unrestrainedly with the rumbling sound of the train.

The girl finally left the office with tears in her eyes. Gu Mingxi sat at the desk in a daze. After a while, he raised his head and looked out the window.

The sky outside the window was so blue that he knew he was about to leave, and he felt a deep reluctance in his heart, and a hint of doubt and hope for the future.

The next morning, Gu Mingxi got up early and came to Sanya Phoenix Airport alone with her backpack on her backpack.

Volunteers from the airport helped him pass the security check. When boarding the plane, the weather in Sanya was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was 25 degrees. Three hours later, the plane landed at the E City Airport. Gu Mingxi got off the plane and took a shuttle bus. He was wearing very little clothes. The howling cold wind blew on his cheeks. He was a little uncomfortable and even paused his footsteps.

As the crowd walked out of the pick-up gate, Gu Mingxi saw the familiar figure.

Pang Qian held the down jacket prepared for him on her arm and waved her hand vigorously at him: "Gu Mingxi! Here is here!"

Gu Mingxi walked towards her, and the floating empty sleeves naturally attracted the attention of others, but then the people saw a young girl running towards him, she pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

She tiptoed to give a sweet kiss, quickly took off his backpack, and helped him put on his down jacket. She tidied up his clothes, and looked up at him with joy on her face. She said, "Gu Mingxi, welcome home!"
