If Zhou Botong hadn't watched his words and resolved the embarrassment caused by his elder brother with a wailing like a butchering pig, Gong Xue would have gotten up and left long ago.
Everyone here knows what Suo Linchuan thinks about Gong Xue, and they all know that Gong Xue seems to have another boyfriend, and he never treats Suo Linchuan in vain. They wanted to help Suo Linchuan, but it took almost two semesters of effort.
Yes, Gong Xue is still an Antarctic iceberg, with no signs of loosening and melting.
Fortunately, Zhou Botong and senior brother kept the atmosphere lively, so a good birthday party wouldn't break up because of someone's displeasure.
Gong Xue still couldn't persist to the end. She asked Liu Zheng to send Long Sifeng back to the dormitory, then said goodbye and left.
Suolinchuan did not stop her, but looking at her resolutely retreating figure, indescribable pain escaped from those dark and narrow eyes.
Gong Xue did not go back to the dormitory directly, but went to the small playground.
On the campus at night, the lights are dim, the voices are silent, the deep road stretches infinitely, and blends into the endless darkness. The slow night wind blows through the trees on the roadside, with rustling sounds and swaying branches, like fairies falling into the world.
Dancing gorgeous neon clothes. Occasionally leaves float down, quietly accepting the fate, falling into the soil and turning into dust...
She sat by the small playground for a long time, and it was not until late at night that she got up and returned to the public phone booth in the Xinyiyuan dormitory building.
During this time, there are no poor students queuing up to make phone calls.
Insert the IC card, dial the number you know by heart, and wait...
"Hello, who's there?" The male voice on the phone was mixed with the unique roughness of the voice-changing period...
Gong Xue smiled, turned around and leaned against the transparent glass of the phone booth, and replied softly: "Taotao, it's me."
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out with extremely enthusiastic shouts of joy: "Sister-------sister---is that you?"
"Oh, it's me." Although my eyes were hot with tears, I still didn't feel like crying.
Gong Tao was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "Sister, wait...wait for me...I'll go out and talk to you..."
There was a muffled sound on the other end of the phone, followed by complaints from the roommate who shared the same bed with Gong Tao. Gong Tao cursed in a low voice, thought of something, and quickly changed his tone to pretend to be polite, and then the world... became pure.
"Sister, you are going too far! Why don't you call me? You don't even keep your cell phone at home. You only call Aunt Tian a few times a semester to report that she is safe. Are you deliberately trying to make me anxious?
!!" Gong Tao complained when he came up.
Gong Xue smiled faintly and tapped the phone with her fingers, "I'm your sister, don't go too far."
Gong Tao snorted aggrievedly and said, "You just don't miss me anyway."
"I'm afraid you'll be distracted." Gong Xue asked a few questions about Gong Tao's study situation and said, "I helped you sort out a few sets of general science questions and sent them to your email. Remember to send them back to me after you finish them. Remember
Are you staying?"
Gong Tao seemed to be curling his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't finished the last question yet..."
"Send me the last test questions together. Don't delay this weekend." Her tone was unquestionable.
"Okay... I'll just do it..." Gong Tao thought of something and asked: "Sister, the thing you asked me to do for you has been completed. The total of 110,000 yuan including principal and interest will be deposited in your account.
Already."
"Oh, thank you..."
Gong Tao hesitated to speak, but then decided to say: "Sister, don't send me money from now on. I have enough money to spend, and you don't need to supplement it." Gong Tao receives Gong Xue's mail from Kunming every month.
He didn't use any of the money given to him for living expenses. He kept it in his card and waited for an opportunity to return it to Gong Xue.
Gong Tao was worried about Gong Xue's life: "Sister, if you return all the money that Brother Gao Yuan left you to their family, will your life at school be affected?"
Gong Xue smiled and said: "Sister, I don't have much money to spend in school, so don't worry about me. As for the savings left by Gaoyuan, I never thought about using them. I didn't think carefully about the deposit last year and delayed it."
I can't pay back the money until today, and I'm already very sorry to Gao Yuan's parents."
"I can't blame you. Who knew that Brother Gao Yuan would sacrifice himself..." Gong Tao immediately regretted his words. What did he say? Why did he expose the scars on his sister's heart again...
Gong Xue was silent and changed the topic, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of grandpa and Gao Yuan. I can't go back to Mobei, so I entrust you with the task of paying homage to grandpa. Taotao, you must talk to grandpa more and ask grandpa to do it."
Clean up the tombstones, remember?”
Gong Tao responded solemnly, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Before hanging up the phone, Gong Tao said that his parents came from a neighboring city, nominally to pay homage to his father, but in fact they wanted to meet their son, who had not returned to the neighboring city during the Spring Festival, to ease the relationship.
They wanted to see their son, but they were rejected by their biological son.
"I just want to make them sad and let them know that I don't need a pair of selfish, greedy and callous parents!" After all this time, Gong Tao still refused to forgive Gong Mingjun and his wife. During the Spring Festival in Mobei, he cried to Gong Xue
Aunt Hotan said that if his parents still refuse to admit their mistakes and repay Gong Xue justice, then he will never recognize his biological parents for the rest of his life.
This is not the result Gong Xue wanted, but it is too difficult to persuade a rebellious child to change his mind.
After hanging up the phone, Gong Xue took out a piece of paper from her pocket, with a string of mobile phone numbers written on it. She had called the number several times before, but she didn't know if the person who used it could still be contacted.
Insert card, dial, wait...
The bell rang and someone picked her up, "Hello, I'm Gong Xue, are you Gao Lie?" She couldn't tell where her nervousness came from.
The other party paused and asked in surprise: "Are you looking for Gao Lie?"
Gong Xue's heart dropped. The other person's voice was not the rough and magnetic voice in her memory.
"Oh, he...isn't there?"
"Company Commander Gao has been transferred to the troops in the western Sichuan Plateau a long time ago. The conditions there are difficult and we can't use mobile phones, so he left me with him. Are you looking for him?"
Gong Xue took a small breath, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "I have some things to do to find him. Could you please tell me his contact number?" No matter how remote the troops are, they still have communication with the outside world. She thought,
Can't she ask the other party to help her find Gao Lie?
"You and him...are..." The other party's voice was a little uncertain.
Gong Xue thought for a while and replied: "I am his brother's girlfriend."
The other party obviously didn't know about the sacrifice on the plateau yet. He seemed to be rummaging for something there. After a moment, he said: "I forgot that this is a military line. If you call over, there may not be someone to help you transfer."
.Let’s do this, leave your number to me, and I’ll help you contact Company Commander Gao and ask him to call you as soon as possible.”
"Okay... thank you." Gong Xue reported the IC card number to the other party, then hung up the phone and leaned against the glass door to wait.
