“then, how did gu yiqiu and i separate?” he suddenly wanted to seriously understand his past with gu yiqiu.
“when you guys separated, you were already in primary school.” fang zicheng finished flipping through the album and closed it when he realized that there were no more photos of gu yiqiu.
“tell me, how did we separate?” fang zikai urged his brother impatiently.
fang zicheng glanced at him indifferently, disdaining his impatience. ” brother, tell me about it, ” fang zikai said, trying to please him.
fang zicheng’s expression softened. ” gu yiqiu’s mother is not in good health. she needs to go overseas for treatment. ” she was too young then, so she went abroad with her parents.”
“i remember that you were very unhappy for a long time after she left. when she just went abroad, you guys called and chatted every day. sometimes, you would even set an alarm to wake her up in the middle of the night to call her and chat with her. ”
their relationship was really good at that time.
fang zicheng still remembered an interesting incident. “i still remember the time you fought in school and lost. after she returned, she called gu yiqiu at night and even told her about her grievances. you even cried as you spoke.”
fang zikai was speechless.
he wanted to cover his face.
was he really such a useless person?
“then why have we stopped contacting each other?” fang zikai thought that he had broken off contact with gu yiqiu because something had happened to her. for example, they had moved and changed their phone numbers.
fang zicheng shook his head when he heard his brother’s thoughts. ” you’ve been separated for too long. you’ve gradually gotten used to not having gu yiqiu by your side. you’ve made new friends and naturally, you’ve given gu yiqiu the cold shoulder. after that, you two stopped contacting each other.”
every friendship was like this.
they were passionate when they got along, and missed each other when they separated. as time went by, they got used to it and gradually forgot about it. then, you will make new friends. those new people will always replace the position of your old friends in your heart.
fang zikai was one of them.
however, gu yiqiu and fang zikai were different.
flying abroad, with a language barrier, different skin colors, and an arrogant personality, gu yiqiu did not have any friends and was isolated. at that time, fang zikai, who was once her best friend, would be cherished in her heart.
when she was bullied, sad, and missed her home country, she would dig up memories related to fang zikai, take a look, and then carefully hide them.
fang zikai had easily forgotten about this friendship, but gu yiqiu was obsessed with fang zikai.
although he didn’t remember those past events, fang zikai still felt a little upset when he heard fang zicheng’s words. so he was that overjoyed at that time?
in the end, he was still the one at fault.
previously, fang zikai had complained about gu yiqiu’s strong character and her shamelessness. but now, he was blaming himself.
“by the way, do you still have your old phone? you and she both have mobile phones. you can check your old mobile phone, and i’m sure you’ll find some clues.” fang zicheng didn’t like to see his brother’s silence.
fang zikai still looked good when he smiled, the more arrogant he was, the more pleasing he looked.
after listening to fang zicheng’s suggestion, fang zikai ran back to his room and rummaged through the cabinets for more than ten minutes. finally, he found two or three old mobile phones in a small box.
fang zikai’s memory was bad, and the password for each of his mobile phones was the same. fang zikai charged one of the old black mobile phones, turned it on, and slowly scrolled through the records.
this was the phone he had used when he had just entered primary school. it did not have many functions, but it could be used for wechat, taking photos, sending text messages, and making phone calls. but he couldn’t play games.
after his phone was turned on, fang zikai entered the photo album.
to fang zikai’s surprise, 80% of the photos in the photo album were related to a girl. the girl in the photo album had already changed a little from the one in lisa’s photo album. the girl had grown taller and slimmed down.
in every photo, the girl’s expression was cool. she looked at the camera, and although she looked impatient, she still cooperated with fang zikai’s request and posed in the way he wanted.
ah, long time no see, gu yiqiu.
that night, fang zikai did not stay at home for dinner. instead, he went to look for gu yiqiu.
he couldn’t wait to see her and just wanted to say sorry to her.
fang zikai knew where major general gu’s house was. major general gu and gu yiqiu were staying in their old house. it was a two-story bungalow with a small yard at the entrance.
their home was not in the military compound, but in the suburbs.
when he was young, fang zikai often went to gu yiqiu’s house to play.
he rode his bicycle to gu yiqiu’s house. fang zikai was afraid of major general gu, so he stood at the door, hesitating. if he rang the doorbell and the one who opened the door was major general gu, wouldn’t that be like sending a sheep to a tiger’s den and asking for a beating?
after eating secretly in his heart for a while, fang zikai pressed the doorbell in one go.
fortunately, the person who opened the door was gu yiqiu’s nanny.
“who are you looking for?” the nanny’s mandarin was not good. she had a strong foreign accent.
fang zikai took a while to understand what she meant.
“is gu yiqiu here? i’m her classmate.”
“the young lady is not at home.” the nanny said, ” miss should still be at the training ground at this time. ”
after asking for the location of the training ground, fang zikai rode his bicycle to find her.
the training ground was a mile away. it was an open field with grass. the field was filled with military training equipment and facilities. it was probably major general gu’s private training ground.
the training ground was surrounded by iron nets. fang zikai stood outside the iron net and looked at the people on the training ground.
there was a night light in the training ground. under the light, gu yiqiu was doing pull-ups on the horizontal bar, wearing a black vest, army green camouflage pants, and combat boots. there were very few girls who could do this, but gu yiqiu was so good at it. even though she was skinny, she did pull-ups one after another without panting.
fang zikai looked at her in a daze. when she was wearing her clothes, she looked very thin. however, when she wore a tank top, her arms were muscular.
fang zikai stood quietly on the side and watched gu yiqiu do her training. he counted and found that gu yiqiu had done 200 pull-ups in one breath.
he was so shocked that he was speechless.
after so many years, his boss was still his boss.
after finishing the pull-ups, gu yiqiu jumped down from the horizontal bar. she massaged her legs and rested for a while before picking up the leg-carrying belt and backpack from the ground and tying them around her body.
you still have to run with weights?
“gu yiqiu!”
fang zikai had no choice but to speak up to attract gu yiqiu’s attention.
