Fang Hui's face had swollen, finger marks on her cheeks, blood was also blown out of her mouth. Her stockings were pulled off, and she could even see her underwear under her short skirt, her coat had been taken off, her sweater was stripped off, and her bra straps were exposed. Her whole body was wet, and she sat alone on the ground and gasped.

After a long time, she stood up tremblingly, and everyone passing by was watching the show. Fang Hui wanted to tidy up her clothes, but found that she couldn't do it any longer. So she took off her high heels, held them in her hand, and limped towards the door.

When she walked past Gu Mingxi, she glanced at him.

Gu Mingxi was wearing a thick down jacket, with his bulging sleeves stuffed into his pocket, and he couldn't tell his disability at first glance.

Fang Hui had just been frightened, her eyes were filled with fear and shame and anger, and her face was white and red. She just glanced at Gu Mingxi and continued to move forward.

Gu Mingxi looked at her embarrassed back and knew that she no longer recognized him.

Pang Qian pulled Gu Mingxi's clothes and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go, I'm going to buy a ticket."

"Oh." Gu Mingxi turned around, "Which book do you want to read?"

"It should be quite funny in "Wulin Waizhi".

Gu Mingxi nodded: "Okay."

When he went to buy the ticket, he turned around again and there was no more Fang Hui.

That night, Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi were still dating outside. As soon as Pang Shuisheng's old friends left, Gu Guoxiang's phone call came. Jin Aihua answered the phone. Gu Guoxiang said straight to the point: "Aihua, I am Guoxiang. I heard that Mingxi is back."

While eating melon seeds on the sofa, Jin Aihua asked, "Who is Mingxi?"

Gu Guoxiang's tone was sincere and serious: "Aihua, don't joke, my son, Gu Mingxi."

"Haha!" Jin Aihua was happy, "Do you know Gu Mingxi is your son? How did you find our family when you are looking for your son? What does it have to do with us whether your son is back? We are still responsible for helping you find your son?"

Gu Guoxiang held back his anger: "No... Aihua, listen to me, an old colleague told me, is it true to see Mingxi and Qianqian playing in New Century Square?"

"Whoever sees it, go to see whom?" Jin Aihua said coldly, "I haven't seen it anyway. To be honest, I really want to meet Mingxi. Ask him if he has been through hardships in the past few years. Ask him, after his mother passed away, he was an armless child, lonely child!"

"Aihua..."

"If it's okay, I'll hang up."

Before Gu Guoxiang could speak, Jin Aihua suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, don't come to my house. We don't welcome you to visit."

After saying that, she hung up the phone fiercely. The retired female worker was not afraid of Gu Guoxiang at all. Jin Aihua snorted, turned her head to look at Pang Shuisheng next to her, and said, "Don't glar at me, I'm just holding on to Ahan."

Pang Shuisheng held her shoulder and said, "Who glared at you! Wife, you did a pretty job!"

Doudou called Gu Mingxi to greet the New Year. The little guy said, "Teacher Gu, Happy New Year!" Gu Mingxi asked him if he was happy to stay with his mother, and Doudou's voice fell.

"Mom and uncle have younger brothers and sisters, and they prefer younger brothers." Doudou asked Gu Mingxi, "Teacher Gu, when will you go back to Sanya? Will you pick me up home then?"

Gu Mingxi said: "The teacher will go back before the end of the winter vacation, and your mother will send you back then."

"Can I still live with you?"

"Of course." Gu Mingxi couldn't bear to say it. He would only stay in Sanya for half a year. He said, "Doudou, be good, the teacher brings you a gift, okay?"

"Okay." Doudou hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher Gu, it doesn't matter if there is no gift, as long as you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingxi felt a little sour. After more than two years of getting along, he and Doudou had established a deep relationship. He knew Doudou's dependence on him, and at the same time, he also knew that he had become unable to do anything about Doudou's subsequent support.

"Gu Mingxi, what are you thinking?" Pang Qian's voice pulled him back to reality. She looked at him and smiled, "Tomorrow's sixth day of the Chinese New Year, there will be the last dinner party in the evening. After the end, it will be liberated!"

Gu Mingxi smiled bitterly: "After the end, your Spring Festival holiday will be over."

"What are you dissatisfied with? Am I with you every day?" She snuggled beside him. "Tomorrow night, do you want to go out for a walk during the day, or stay at home?"

Gu Mingxi thought for a while and said, "Stay at home. Actually, I like to stay in the room with you, chat, listen to music, and watch movies, that's great."

"It's so easy to support." Pang Qian climbed onto the bed and hugged him from behind. She liked hugging him so much that she seemed to be able to draw heat from him and relieve her skin thirst symptoms.

Her cheeks were buried in his shoulders, Gu Mingxi turned his head and kissed her, and asked, "Which relative will you have dinner tomorrow night?"

"It's not a relative, it's a few of my friends." Pang Qian laughed, "If they want to see you, I agree."

Gu Mingxi was a little surprised: "Your friend?"

"Um."

"Do they know what I'm doing?"

"Know."

He didn't say anything anymore.

Before leaving the house the next day, Pang Qian helped Gu Mingxi pick out clothes. He originally didn't care what he wore, but on this day, he made some suggestions.

A beige velvet shirt is neatly tied into black trousers, a black belt is tied with black leather shoes, and a light gray short wool coat. The whole person is so handsome that Pang Qian's heart is pounding.

He had almost never dressed so formally, because such clothes were not convenient for him to do things. Gu Mingxi usually dressed loosely and casually, but when he wanted to face Pang Qian's friends, he still hoped to be with her in the most spiritual way.

"Gu Mingxi, you are so handsome!" Pang Qian helped him tie the belt, and then pulled the collar for him, with love in her eyes. Seeing Gu Mingxi's face unnatural, she asked with a smile, "Are you very nervous?"

He shook his head, but was not so determined. Pang Qian smiled and said, "Is it because I want to see my friend? You don't have to be nervous, they are all very good people."

Gu Mingxi sighed softly and said, "Pangpang, I don't have arms after all."

"You have asked me before, would you feel embarrassed?" Pang Qian stretched the sleeves of Gu Mingxi's coat and looked up at him, "Gu Mingxi, you said yourself, don't you think you are embarrassed."

"I was still young and ignorant at that time." He was helpless, "I have nothing to do with myself, but what I want to see today is your friends. I don't want them to talk about you behind your back after seeing me."

"No!" Pang Qian looked at him with his cheek, "In the future, I will take you to the wedding of Yang Lu and Shengfeng, and I will meet many of my college classmates. I will take you to the dinner, outings organized by our company, and many activities in our company! I will even take you to the wedding and cocktail party held by my client, because you are my boyfriend and will be my husband in the future. I hope you can integrate into my social circle and meet my friends. I believe that they will definitely like you."

Seeing that his brows were still frowning, she reached out to stroke his brow peak and said, "Gu Mingxi, you were not like this before. You were much more confident than you are now."

Gu Mingxi kept staring at her eyes, and gradually, his eyes bent, and even the corners of his mouth were curling upwards, saying, "Pang Pang, I am alone, it doesn't matter what I do. But now I am with you, I really want to do better and better. I am not afraid of others talking about me behind my back, and I never care about these things. What I am afraid of is that others are talking about you behind my back because of me, especially these people are your friends. Don't deny that you will encounter such a situation sooner or later when you are with me. Someone will definitely come to you, Pang Qian, you are so good, why did you find such a boyfriend? Maybe they don't have malice, but after you hear it, you will definitely feel unhappy. To be honest, I can't think of a way to solve such a problem. I can't hide at home and not see your friends, so... I want to say that you will face many problems in the future when you are with me, have you ever thought about these?"

Pang Qian burst out laughing: "Gu Mingxi, be careful that I will sell the house. Why are you talking about these things that are not available at this time? Let's leave quickly, it's almost late."

They arrived at the Donghua Hotel and walked to the door of the private room. When they heard the sound of men and women chatting in the private room, Gu Mingxi called Pang Qian and asked, "Pang Pang, how do I look?"

Pang Qian looked him up and down, raised her thumbs up, and gave him an encouraging expression. She pushed open the door of the box, stuck her head in, and asked, "We're here, who are there?"

Gu Mingxi stood behind Pang Qian and heard a scream in the private room. Then the private room door was "swipe-opened" and many people ran towards him. He looked at them in shock, and before he could react, he was already hugged by a girl with short hair.

"Gu Mingxi! Oh—it's really you!" Gu Mingxi lowered his head and saw Jiang Zhiya's charming face. This was the first time he saw her short hair and almost didn't recognize her.

Zhou Nanzhong patted Jiang Zhiya on the shoulder on the side: "Hey, anchor Jiang, do you take other people's crabs seriously? What does it mean to hold their boyfriend like this? Bullying Gu Mingxi can't push you away."

"Just bully, just bully! How about it?" Jiang Zhiya not only did not let go, but also hugged Gu Mingxi even tighter, and then reluctantly relaxed her arm, "Gu Mingxi, why are you so dark now? You are almost even darker than Zhou Nanzhong, a Colombian migrant worker!"

Gu Mingxi looked at Zhou Nanzhong blankly. He was indeed much darker and fatter. It seemed that the sun in Colombia was very strong and the food was good. Zhou Nanzhong walked up and gave Gu Mingxi a hug between men. He knocked his back with his fists and said, "Long time no see, brother, where have you been going all these years!"

Then Wang Song also gave Gu Mingxi a strong hug. He pulled Li Xiaoyan over and said to Gu Mingxi: "Brother, Xiaoyan and I will get married in May. I will send you and Xiaoqian invitations at that time. Remember to come and have a wedding banquet!"

Wang Song and Li Xiaoyan's appearance did not change much, but they were slightly mature. Gu Mingxi looked at them and said for a long time: "Congratulations, I will definitely go."

Wu Min walked up to Gu Mingxi and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you still remember me? Old opponent."

Wu Min and Gu Mingxi have been competing for the second place in the grade for three years in high school. At that time, Pang Qian no longer cared about Xiao Yujing's grades because no one could catch up. She always asked how many points Wu Min had scored, and then for Gu Mingxi, she complained that he was only 2 or 3 points away and did not catch up with Wu Min.

Gu Mingxi finally calmed down a little, and he smiled and nodded: "Of course I remember."

Finally, Teacher Dai and Xie Yi appeared in front of Gu Mingxi. Teacher Dai had already cried, walked up to him and hugged Gu Mingxi gently, and said, "Are you doing well now? Gu Mingxi."

"I'm very good, Teacher Dai, really." In front of so many people, he really didn't want to cry, but his eyes turned red uncontrollably. Gu Mingxi tried his best to hold back his tears. Xie Yi had already walked up to him, still dazzling. His face was so delicate that it was flawless. He was paired with a black suit that was tailored and fitted, so handsome and handsome.

Xie Yi looked at Gu Mingxi meaningfully and hugged him hard. After the hug, his expression suddenly changed, and he punched Gu Mingxi in the stomach with a "bang", and used some force. Gu Mingxi couldn't help but bend down. Everyone was startled, and Pang Qian shouted in panic: "Xie Yi, what are you doing!"

"I'll beat him for you!" Xie Yi raised his eyebrows and said to Pang Qian, "You must be reluctant to beat him, right? This kid has disappeared for so many years, and a punch is considered light. Did he think of you when he was basking in the sun in Sanya and watching bikini girls?"

"Xie Yi!" Pang Qian was angry and anxious, and asked with Gu Mingxi's back, "Are you okay?"

Gu Mingxi gasped, finally stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Xie Yi was having fun with me, don't worry."

Thanks to Xie Yi, his tears were finally completely held back.

Everyone sat down at the dining table. Pang Qian helped Gu Mingxi take off her coat. Xie Yi gave the menu to Teacher Dai to order food. The others were already chatting. Gu Mingxi listened quietly and knew the current situation of these old friends.

After graduating from Wuhan University, Zhou Nan joined an engineering company and was directly sent to Colombia to build a power plant. This was the first time he returned to China for the New Year.

Wang Song works in the Municipal Labor Bureau and is a small civil servant. Li Xiaoyan works in a public institution. The two of them have decorated their wedding house and are ready to get married.

Jiang Zhiya was transferred to the provincial platform and is currently working on a news column and is no longer a weather forecast lady.

Wu Min was admitted to Tsinghua University and is currently studying for a master's and doctoral degree. After that, he will study abroad for two years as an exchange student. He said that he will be engaged in scientific research in the future.

Needless to say, Xie Yi went through graduate school in the United States, returned to China to start a business, and managed the film and television company.

Even Teacher Dai no longer teaches at E City No. 1 Middle School. She was transferred to No. 5 Middle School and promoted to vice principal. After Teacher Dai ordered a few dishes, she gave the menu to Jiang Zhiya and asked them to continue ordering dishes. Then, she smiled and asked Xie Yi: "Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"

Xie Yi's face was not very natural and he was a little absent-minded. At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi looked back and saw a pretty girl with long hair shawls standing outside the door. She took off her gloves and scarf and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Just like Gu Mingxi had never seen Jiang Zhiya have short hair, and almost couldn't recognize her. No one had seen Xiao Yujing have long hair. In everyone's memory, Xiao Yujing was always a girl with short hair, a thin figure, and wearing big glasses. She had a small melon-shaped face, quiet and delicate facial features, and a touch of agile light hidden in her seemingly calm eyes.

But now Xiao Yujing, who is standing in front of everyone, has left her hair on her waist. She is wearing light makeup, has a beautiful face, is wearing a dark green coat, and a pair of fat and bulging snow boots on her feet, which is completely like an urban beauty. This really subverts everyone's positioning of "female doctor" in their minds. Everyone knows that Xiao Yujing doesn't like to dress up very much. She takes it for granted that she should now wear glasses and looks like a pedantic girl with plain faces.

Xiao Yujing smiled at the stunned person at the table: "What's wrong, don't you recognize me?"

A group of people woke up like a dream and stood up to welcome them. Xiao Yujing greeted them one by one. Zhou Nanzhong said to Gu Mingxi: "Gu Mingxi, you have a great face. Goddess Xiao rarely comes back for the New Year this year. We asked her to have dinner. She said she had no time. Later, Wu Min said you want to come too, and the goddess agreed."

Xiao Yujing also looked at Gu Mingxi after hearing this. Gu Mingxi had already stood up and looked at her with a smile on his lips. Xiao Yujing's expression was very normal and said, "Sorry, I'm really hurry to come back this time, but I thought I've never seen Gu Mingxi after graduating from high school. He finally came back, so he naturally wanted to see him."

Wang Song joked: "Goddess, what are you saying is wrong? Which of us? Have you met after graduation?"

Xiao Yujing was not annoyed and said with a smile: "First, don't call me a goddess, second, I had a few meals with Wu Min when I was in Beijing. If you don't believe me, please ask him."

Wu Min nodded with a smile: "This is, before she went to the United States, we had dinner several times and also went to each other's school to play."
