Gu Mingxi shook his head and said, "Pangpang, I didn't grow up here since I was a child, do you understand?"

She thought for a while and nodded: "I understand."

They took a bus back to City S, planning to rest for one night in City S, and take the plane the next day to leave.

In the evening, Gu Mingxi took Pang Qian to visit Xu Shuanghua.

Xu Shuanghua spent most of the year outside the city, and even during the Spring Festival, he might go to the UK to see his son, but during the Qingming Festival, he would definitely return to S City.

Gu Mingxi contacted Xu Shuanghua in advance and arrived at his doorstep. Gu Mingxi told Pang Qian: "After my mother passed away, I have lived here for a year and a half."

The door opened, and Xu Shuanghua was still the same, with his faint eyebrows and eyes, and his expression of joy and anger. However, when he saw Gu Mingxi, he still unconsciously showed a trace of warmth and stepped forward to hug him.

It seems that everyone knows tacitly that a hug when meeting Gu Mingxi is the most heartwarming.

Gu Mingxi brought Mingqian tea from E City to Xu Shuanghua. Xu Shuanghua liked it very much. When he saw Pang Qian, he was a little curious. Gu Mingxi shyly introduced him: "Teacher, this is my girlfriend, Pang Qian."

Xu Shuanghua kept them for dinner. After dinner, Gu Mingxi asked Pang Qian to stay in the living room to watch TV. He went to the study with Xu Shuanghua for a while. Gu Mingxi wanted to consult the teacher about the re-examination of the college entrance examination. Xu Shuanghua was not surprised at all after hearing his plan. He just nodded and said, "Continue to study, a good idea. Learning is endless, the teacher supports you."

Gu Mingxi said: "Teacher, I want to take the art exam this time. The art culture courses are not high, so I have a better review."

"Yes." Xu Shuanghua asked, "Is there any school you want to take?"

"I want to go to Shanghai, do you have any suggestions?"

"Shanghai?" Xu Shuanghua thought for a while, "Have you heard of the Shanghai School of Visual Arts, Fudan University?"

Gu Mingxi nodded: "I have also seen this school. The school is relatively new and the hardware is very good."

"I have friends who teach there, and the school is good. If you want to continue to be a teacher in the future, I suggest you take the painting major in the Academy of Fine Arts. With your foundation, you should be able to make up for half a year. As for cultural courses, it depends on you."

Gu Mingxi nodded: "I've recorded it."

Xu Shuanghua asked Gu Mingxi about his next plan again, knowing that he would return to City E in July, so he called a friend from City E in front of him.

"I have a student who will take the unified art exam and the school exam for Shanghai Vision at the beginning of next year. He will be in City E starting in July... The household registration is from City E. Yes, I want to ask you to help tutor him for his professional courses. Don't worry about his foundation. I hope you can tutor him one-on-one and ensure that he can get into City E.... Yes, that's right, it's my student, my fourth student."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Shuanghua entered the number to Gu Mingxi's mobile phone and said, "This teacher specializes in opening a studio to help people tutor art exams. He has a very good level. When you return to City E, call me and I will go over and meet him with you. Don't worry, he is a very good person."

When Gu Mingxi and Xu Shuanghua came out of the study, both of them were smiling. Pang Qian stood up. Xu Shuanghua looked at the two young people and said, "Mingxi, when will we get married? We must invite me to a wedding banquet. In recent years, I have been thinking about you more than my son. I am so happy to see that you are doing well now and have a girlfriend."

He was a very cold-hearted person, but at this time he said such sensational words, which shocked Gu Mingxi. He took the initiative to approach Xu Shuanghua with his body and said, "Teacher, thank you."

After leaving Xu Shuanghua's house, Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian took a taxi to the hotel. The hotel they booked was in the city center. After getting off the bus, Gu Mingxi raised his head and saw the I-shaped overpass not far away.

He said nothing to Pang Qian, but just took her to the overpass for a walk.

Although it was night, the overpass was still very lively, with stalls, arts, begs, and a long row of walks. The surrounding high-rise buildings were brightly lit, neon lights on the roof flashed, and traffic under the bridge formed a golden dragon. Passersby walked past Gu Mingxi, and most of them looked at him without squinting. Occasionally, someone noticed his empty sleeves and the young and beautiful girl around him, and a hint of unpredictable expression appeared on his face. Gu Mingxi didn't care at all, and walked very slowly. Pang Qian was confused, so he asked him, but he didn't say anything.

There are always some secrets in people's hearts. Gu Mingxi doesn't want to tell Pang Qian that experience at this time. He thought that maybe in a few years, when they get married and watch TV with the warm wind on a winter night, he will joke about his story with this overpass to her.

When they returned to the hotel room, both of them were exhausted. They were exhausted all day long, and they could finally take a break. When they closed the door and threw down their bags, Pang Qian took off his and Gu Mingxi's coats almost without pause, and his body was already pressed against him.

She raised her face, he lowered his head, and his lips immediately entangled.

She took him stumble to the bathroom: "Take a shower together..."

He couldn't bear to let go of her lips, but just responded quietly: "Well."

Her voice was soft and her hands wandered on him: "Gu Mingxi, I miss you so much."

"I miss you as well."

“How much do you think?”

"When you are awake, you are in your mind, and when you are asleep, you are in your dreams."

"Me too, so too!" She moaned, and cunningly used the tip of her tongue to tease his two tiger teeth, which were pointed, so sexy and interesting.

Her provocation made his kiss even more crazy, and she frowned and called her name over and over again: "Pang Pang, Pang Pang..."

"I'm here," she said.

In May, Gu Mingxi returned to City E and attended the wedding of Wang Song and Li Xiaoyan with Pang Qian.

At the wedding, Wang Song was wearing a gray suit, tall and handsome, Li Xiaoyan was wearing a white wedding dress, smiling like a flower, and a couple walked on the red carpet holding hands, smiling, and filled with a sweet and loving atmosphere.

Gu Mingxi sat at the table of a high school classmate and watched the bride and groom on the stage from afar. The host said that although the bride and groom were only twenty-seven years old, they had experienced a long-distance run of love for ten years, which caused an uproar in the audience.

Jiang Zhiya smiled and said to Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian: "I can't wait to attend your wedding. Wang Song and Xiaoyan ran away for ten years and scared others to death. How many years have you two?"

Pang Qian giggled, and Gu Mingxi also looked at Pang Qian with his lips and smiled silently.

They were surrounded by Teacher Dai, and everyone chatted while eating. When Teacher Dai heard that Gu Mingxi decided to take the college entrance examination again at the age of 28 the next year, he immediately asked to help and found a batch of textbooks, question banks, and simulation papers for Gu Mingxi to practice for him.

Gu Mingxi brought those exercise books when he returned to Sanya. This was his last semester in Sanya. He lived a fulfilling and busy life. On the one hand, he had to teach mathematics and English well in the two graduating classes. On the other hand, he had to use his spare time to get a manuscript, and on the other hand, he had to review cultural courses in high school.

Several colleagues knew that he was going to take the college entrance examination again, so they came to help him with tutoring, but when they picked up the math and physics and chemistry problems in high school, they were all stunned.

"It's so difficult. I haven't touched it for so many years and I forgot the formula." Teacher Chen shook his head repeatedly, "Now I'll ask me to take the college entrance examination again, I must be crazy."

Teacher Song said: "Fortunately, Teacher Gu can draw and take art exams. It should be no big problem to reach the undergraduate level of cultural courses."

Gu Mingxi sighed: "In fact, I haven't practiced the sketches, colors and sketches that are required to be taken in the unified examination for a long time. I will have to take the unified examination at the beginning of next year. It is a bit difficult for me to pick it up in half a year."

Ji Xiu'er comforted him: "Come on, I believe you can do it."

In June, the weather in Sanya is hot and the rain gradually increases. The sixth grade children of Tongzhihua Primary School are about to graduate.

Pang Qian's work at Jialai has been handed over almost. Zou Liwen turned a blind eye to her, so she simply brought her luggage to Sanya to accompany Gu Mingxi.

All the children in the graduating class have already set a junior high school to go to. After the final exam, the school held a simple graduation ceremony for them. Pang Qian sat under the shaded eaves of the teacher's dormitory, gnawing on the ice cream while watching the teacher and the children take graduation photos on the scorching sun.

The first row is the squatting students, behind them is a row of teachers sitting on chairs, behind them is a row of students standing in behind, and the last row of students standing on chairs.

Pang Qian looked at Gu Mingxi from a distance. He was wearing a snow-white shirt with beige trousers underneath. The buttons of his shirt were Pang Qian helped him button them all the way to the collar. Gu Mingxi said that this would look more formal.

His hair was very refreshed, and his clothes and pants were clean and crisp. Sitting among a group of teachers and children, Gu Mingxi kept smiling calmly and gentlely on his face. He taught all the arts in the classes, so he took photos with four graduating classes. After the photos, Pang Qian found that many children were surrounded by Gu Mingxi.

She walked over curiously and found that the children were crying. Many children were holding some gadgets in their hands, saying that they were gifts for Teacher Gu, because they heard that Teacher Gu was leaving.

The gifts include greeting cards made by the children, as well as notebooks, photo albums, pens, gouache and other small things. The most exaggerated thing is that a child carries a basket of eggs, saying that his parents asked him to bring them to Teacher Gu.

Gu Mingxi couldn't bear to wiping the children's kindness, so he could only ask Pang Qian to accept it as much as possible. He squatted down, and many girls came to him, crying and whispering to him.

Pang Qian is easier to understand their mood than anyone else. She knew from a very young age that Gu Mingxi was the most qualified teacher. He was strict but not harsh, rational and warm. He taught me meticulously and patiently, vividly and interestingly, treats all children equally, encourages and criticizes them. The most commendable thing is that he never gives up on any student, and even the most troublesome boy in the class will make small progress because of his concern.

Facts are better than words. The two graduating classes children brought by Gu Mingxi generally have better English and math scores than the other two graduating classes. Therefore, not only the children, but also parents like this little teacher Gu who has no arms.

After the graduation ceremony, the summer vacation of Tongzhihua Primary School is coming. On the last night after leaving the school, Gu Mingxi took Pang Qian and Doudou to drink and part with the teachers who were familiar with the school.

The table was placed on the playground, with home-cooked dishes, peanuts, duck necks, and bottles of ice beer.

The teachers said encouragement to Gu Mingxi one by one, wishing him all the best and getting along with Pang Qian as soon as possible. Ji Xiu'er drank too much and tears were already bursting out of her eyes. Teacher Chen comforted her and asked her to talk to Gu Mingxi. Ji Xiu'er shook her head stubbornly, and Teacher Chen stopped forcing her.

On a clear summer night, the starry sky was bright and the breeze was blowing. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi sat side by side, looking up at the Milky Way in the sky.

The starry sky here is much brighter than that in City E, and the stars are clearly visible. Pang Qian gradually put her head on Gu Mingxi's shoulder and asked him, "I'm leaving, are you reluctant to let it go?"

He had no answer for a long time.

Over the years, he has traveled through several cities, City Z and City S, and finally chose to rest in Sanya, but after all, this is not his home.

He began to understand Li Han's intention to return to City Z. The fallen leaves returned to her roots. Her heart was in City Z. Gu Mingxi's heart was in the city on the southeast coast, where all his childhood, youth memories, and a beloved girl. Now, she has become his woman.

"I can't bear to leave, but I have to leave." Gu Mingxi turned to look at Pang Qian, "Pang Pang, I want to go home."

After a night, the teachers packed their luggage and returned to their hometown. In the past, Gu Mingxi also had to take Doudou to his home in Sanya Bay, but this time, they were facing a parting. After Pang Qian came, she found Doudou was depressed, like an eggplant made by frost. The free summer vacation did not make him excited at all. On the contrary, he seemed to hope that the semester would never end.

Pang Qian did not go to communicate with Dou Dou, but Gu Mingxi called Dou Dou for a walk by the beach after dinner one day. They went there for two hours. When they came back, Dou Dou's eyes were swollen like two peaches. He secretly ran to Pang Qian and sobbed, "Aunt Crab, I will go to my mother's place in two days. I, I, probably, will be studying there in the future. Aunt Crab, after you take Teacher Gu home, you must not bully him. You promised me, you, you said you will do his hands."

Pang Qian's tears fell from his words. She squatted down and hugged Doudou tightly, saying, "I will definitely not bully your Teacher Gu, I promise you. Also, Doudou, you can come to our house to play during the summer vacation in the future. When you grow up, you can take the college entrance examination in E City, and you will be able to come to see Teacher Gu at that time."

Doudou grinned, with a few teeth missing from her mouth: "Well, Teacher Gu told me that too."

Two days later, Doudou's mother came to Sanya to pick him up. This time, Gu Mingxi packed all Doudou's things, his clothes, toys, stationery, extracurricular books... Doudou is going to settle in Guangdong. Pang Qian didn't know whether his stepfather would accept this child. To a greater or less, he would always suffer some harm, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

When he was about to leave, Doudou cried heartbrokenly and almost rolled on the ground and cheated. He couldn't listen to anyone's words, but just hugged Gu Mingxi's legs and cried loudly.

Gu Mingxi actually didn't know what Doudou's future would be like. He could only squat down and make an agreement with him over and over again: "Next year, you will get 95 points or above in the final exam of Chinese, mathematics, and English. Teacher Gu will take you to E City for two weeks. Teacher Gu promises you that you will definitely keep your word."

After coaxing for a long time, Doudou nodded in tears. Finally, he followed his mother step by step. Pang Qian wiped her tears from the side. When she couldn't see Doudou, Gu Mingxi walked up to her, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, and asked, "In the past, did you cry like this when I left?"

Pang Qian looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked, "How do you know?"

He said: "I guess."

"You left me twice." Pang Qian said, "Gu Mingxi, such a thing will never happen again."

He smiled, his eyes so gentle enough to soothe her heart: "I promise, it will never happen again."

With Pang Qian's company, Gu Mingxi completed the school leave procedures and entrusts the property management to handle some water, electricity and gas payment procedures. He dismantled several bank cards and used up all the supermarket stored value cards. It was not until he dismantled his mobile phone number that he realized that he really wanted to say goodbye to Sanya.

This time, with Pang Qian's help, Gu Mingxi was much faster. He didn't have much luggage, very few clothes, shoes, but he had many books and paintings, and he had several boxes.

When he helped him clean up the drawer, Pang Qian found a pen, a hero card, and a dark blue pen holder. When she pulled out the cap, she saw that the tip of the pen was broken.

"You still keep this? It's all broken." She smiled happily, "It's been so many years. You've been traveling to so many places and haven't lost it?"

Gu Mingxi sat on the floor with her, clamped the pen on her hand with her toes, gently rubbed the pen holder with her toes, and said, "For this pen, the first and only time I scolded Doudou."

Pang Qian widened her eyes: "Ah?"

"This pen was broken by Doudou." He smiled. "I watched him fall, but I couldn't stop him. That time I yelled at him. Doudou was frightened and cried for half a night. He was only six years old. Later, I took him to eat KFC and bought him a Transformer toy, so he was willing to pay attention to me."

Pang Qian laughed, and Gu Mingxi shook his head helplessly, "Sometimes I really feel that Doudou looks very similar to you when you were a child. He recognizes food and plays, and is not very cautious, and it is easy to coax."

Pang Qian pouted: "Is it hard to coax me now?"
