"Nope."

He blatantly put on a baseball cap and a mask under Xiang Mian's gaze, then changed into ordinary black clothes, put on glasses and went straight into the crowded alley.

"You come back to me!"

Xiang Mian wanted to step forward and grab Gu Chen, but he dragged him in instead, the narrow alley was full of popularity, full of lively selling sounds, baking heat, making this lively street full of the fragrance of food, Xiang Mian deeply smelled the tempting fragrance in the air.

"I didn't expect you to come to a place like this."

Gu Chen smiled and didn't speak, and walked to a very deserted shop with Xiang Mian turning left and right.

When Gu Chen was about to go in, she was dragged by Xiang Mian, she swallowed her saliva and pointed to the long queue at the door not far away.

"Is it good to go there and eat?"

"Okay, you can go by yourself."

After saying that, he stepped into the store and took off his mask freely.

The shopkeeper seemed to be Gu Chen's old acquaintance, and when Gu Chen took off his mask, he just said hello indifferently, and then continued to wipe the table seriously with the unclear color rag in his hand.

The courtyard is very elegantly arranged, there is a willow tree planted on the side of the courtyard, and the wooden table is not used for the first time, but the stone table, because there are not many people in the shop, which is more elegant.

"How did you know such a place?"

Gu Chen took off his hat and glasses and returned to his usual appearance.

"I used to come a lot a few years ago."

"Was that before you moved?"

Gu Chen nodded.

At that time, Xiang Mian and him were still bitter rivals, and they were willing to give up because they wanted the other party to make a big joke in the world, and then one day, Gu Chen suddenly disappeared into her world, and when she reappeared, it was already on the front page covers of TV and major magazines.

The shopkeeper didn't give Gu Chen a menu, but first brought a box of wine and placed it next to Gu Chen's table.

"Does this little girl drink it too?"

The store manager looked like he was in his early forties, the corners of his eyes were covered with loving wrinkles, and his skin had turned a healthy flaxen color because of the perennial sun exposure.

"Hmm."

The store manager nodded, took two glasses from the cart behind him and put them in front of the two of them, the glasses are nothing special, just clean and clean cups with nothing, what is different is that Xiang Mian noticed that the cup in front of her still feels a little warm, and the surface of the cup is wiped transparent without a trace of dust, and it looks like it has just been taken out of the disinfection cabinet.

"It seems that the store manager here also knows that you are a stinky fart and have a habit of cleanliness."

Xiang Mian opened his mouth to tease, but Gu Chen didn't take a stubble, quietly picked up a bottle of beer, filled it for himself, and then drank it by himself.

"You're in a bad mood today?"

The hired car didn't answer, just drank one cup after another, and the appearance of his face did not change, making people wonder if the wine next to him was drunk by Gu Chen.

When Gu Chen picked up the fifth bottle of wine, Xiang Mian stretched out the wine bottle in his hand.

"Since you brought me, don't drink by yourself, come, cheers."

Xiang Mianying raised his wine glass with a smile, in fact, Gu Chen's alcohol consumption was not as good as it seemed, five glasses of beer fell into his stomach, and he saw that the shadow of the person had already appeared.

"Late Summer ......"

Gu Chen lost his mind, muttering Shu Wanxia's name, Xiang Mian's movements stopped for a moment, and then drank the wine in the cup with a smile.

"Yes, to Sister Late Xia."

Xiang Mian's memory of Shu Wanxia is pitiful, she is a few years younger than Gu Chen, so she goes to school later than Gu Chen, when she was in high school, she saw Gu Chen bring Shu Wanxia home, it was a girl who was dressed very plainly and didn't look a little aggressive.

She was carrying things in her hands at the time, and carefully knocked on the door of Gu Chen's house, Xiang Mian's house was opposite Gu Chen's house, and she happened to see this mother through the window.

Gu Chen's mother's expression was not very happy when she opened the door, especially after seeing Shu Wanxia, although Xiang Mian was young at that time, she could also see that Gu Chen's mother didn't like Shu Wanxia.

Sure enough, she didn't even enter the door of Gu's house, she was pushed out by someone with something, Gu Chen and his mother had a big quarrel, and the sound was so loud that Xiang Mian could hear it clearly across a street and a window.

Shu Wanxia kept her head down and pulled Gu Chen behind her, not letting him get excited.

Later, it was Gu Chen who left with Shu Wanxia.

Until Gu Chen's family moved out of Hoshino Villa, she never saw Shu Wanxia again.

"I am responsible for her death."

Gu Chen raised his hand and drank another glass of wine, and his somewhat embarrassed appearance made Xiang Mian feel distressed.

What she didn't expect was that Shu Wanxia's death was related to Gu Chen.

"Although I don't know what's going on, I can see that you like Sister Late Xia very much, you won't hurt her, I don't blame you."

Xiang Mian's weak comfort was exchanged for Gu Chen's wry smile.

"I'm not going to hurt her? I was the person who hurt her the most in this world. ”

When Gu Chen's tears fell, Xiang Mian stayed in place, this was the first time she saw Gu Chen shed tears when he was not filming, even if he was drunk and unconscious, these tears were extremely restrained and imperceptible.

"I watched her die in front of me, but I couldn't do anything at the time, I couldn't even accompany her to leave at the last moment, how desperate she should have been before she died, I was a bastard."

Gu Chen raised his hand and gave himself a crisp and loud slap, gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"The involvement of their older generation, why should I pay it back, why is it all retribution on me."

Xiang Mian was a little at a loss, so he could only step forward and hug Gu Chen and let him lie in his arms.

"It's okay, it's all gone."

Gu Chen fell into memories for the first time, in the past four years, he deliberately avoided his parents, came here every day to get drunk, this is Shu Wanxia's father's shop, he knelt in front of him more than once and begged her father to forgive, but her father said that he had never blamed him, just like Shu Wanxia's gentleness.

But this deepened Gu Chen's guilt, when their family's finances were in crisis, Xue Ziqing, who had always liked Gu Chen's father, handed over all his property to Gu Chen's mother and asked her to help the family tide over the difficulties, because Xue Ziqing has always had feelings for Gu Tiannan, and Gu Tiannan also felt very guilty for causing Xue Ziqing to never marry in his life, so if he knew that the money was Xue Ziqing's, Gu Tiannan would definitely not use it, Gu Chen's mother Li Siwei and Xue Ziqing teamed up to act in a play, Gu Tiannan's company was shortened and listed abroad through backdoor listing.
