Rebirth: War on the Honest

Zhong Leyi's eyes were clear and her mouth was pursed. When she talked about Gu Yun, her expression became a little strange, and there was even a hint of smile in her voice.

Her answer almost revealed her close relationship with Gu Yun.

The air condensed.

Even though Hua Shiyuan had been educated by her family since she was a child, and had developed the ability to hide her emotions and anger within the system, she didn't know what to say at this moment, and remained silent in front of Zhong Leyi for thirty seconds.

She let go of the other person's hand, took a deep breath to calm herself down, smiled at Zhong Leyi, and pretended to turn her head and look around.

The sky slowly became dark.

Government officials from Yingshan County, top leaders of the Public Security Bureau, classmates, teachers, friends, and colleagues were all present. Everyone gathered at the door, waiting for the final news about Gu Yun.

Gu Yun heard the conversation between the two and walked to Hua Shiyuan's side. His heartbeat had never been so fast.

He knew that he could not escape what he had to face and had to face it eventually.

In front of so many people, Hua Shiyuan chose to take the overall situation into consideration, avoided Zhong Leyi's inquiring eyes, and did not ask any further questions.

The two of them were talking very quickly. He Xuan was standing next to Zhong Leyi and had no time to stop him. His mind went blank.

As one of her own who knew all the inside story, she clasped her hands tightly and looked even more nervous than Gu Yun. She had only one thought at the moment.

It's over.

Shen Ling saw Gu Yun return to the door of the Public Security Bureau after making a phone call. After waiting for a long time, he was the first to invite.

"Mr. Gu, let's help you out together. The leader has just gone to book a hotel."

When having a dinner with government department leaders, not everyone can go. Seeing this situation, Deng Jingjing summoned her classmates to go back to school first.

"Teacher Deng, take my car back, Le Yi, Nana, let's go together."

He Xuan also quickly took Zhong Leyi's hand and prepared to get in the car, not giving Hua Shiyuan and Zhong Leyi another chance to chat.

The crowd got into the car and slowly dispersed, leaving only Gu Yun and Hua Shiyuan. For him, this was a heart-pounding moment more intense than a life-and-death battle.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for us."

Gu Yun gently took Hua Shiyuan's hand and began to test it, looking down at her expression.

The round face of Hua Shi is like a flat lake, neither happy nor sad, and there is no clue at all.

When we arrived at the private room of the hotel that Xing Yong had settled in, there was an empty seat at the main table. It seemed that everyone had been waiting for a long time.

The people in the sedan chair were carrying people, and Gu Yun was holding the wine glass, taking turns to thank the leaders of Yingshan County and the public security, hospital and other departments for their help and assistance this time.

Hua Shiyuan seemed to have forgotten what happened at the door thirty seconds ago. When the wine glass was empty, she stood up and filled it for everyone with a smile.

As the lowest-ranking cadre stationed in the village, if he can come to this occasion, he must have corresponding awareness.

While they were drinking and drinking, Gu Yun secretly sent a message to He Xuan.

Halfway through the meal, the assistant quietly disappeared. She ran to the county to pick up Wen Jue who had arrived, and told her that Gu Yun was socializing and could not come for the time being. The two opened a hotel.

The Shura field here has not yet been settled, and Gu Yun cannot let Wen Jue get involved in the storm no matter what.

In social and drinking parties, people often make jokes about women. Someone asked Hua Shiyuan: "Mr. Gu came to Yingshan County to invest, is it because my senior sister is here?"

Hua Shiyuan just smiled and replied gracefully.

"Don't be ridiculous, leader. Mr. Gu has a big picture. How could he make such an important decision just because of ordinary classmates? Of course he does it for the children."

Everyone didn't take it seriously and continued to talk and laugh, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Soon, the banquet for Gu Yun to wash away the dust came to an end.

The leaders went home, Deng Jingjing returned to school, and the company executives also returned to their residences.

The people at the wine table left in batches, leaving Gu Yun and Hua Shiyuan alone in a tacit understanding.

There were so many people staring at Gu Yun today that he had no choice but to go back to school for the night. On his way to the town government to see Hua Shiyuan off, there was no one around, so Gu Yun tried to hold her hand.

The girl struggled to break free and refused.

"What's wrong?"

At the dinner, Hua Shiyuan went on as usual, as if she had misheard Zhong Leyi's answer. Gu Yun was happy to pretend to be stupid and asked shamelessly.

Hua Shiyuan remained silent.

At the door of the town government dormitory, Hua Shiyuan stopped and tried to raise her head to look at the gray sky.

Gu Yun looked in her direction and saw rain clouds that were obviously about to thunder. When he lowered his head again, he discovered the emotions that Hua Shiyuan had been trying so hard to hide.

Along the way, the girl's eye circles were already red, her chin was slightly raised, and a line of clear tears could no longer be controlled, streaking down her white and tender cheeks.

Draw a circle on the white shirt, one drop after another.

The air between the two was not only silent, but also filled with the heat of June and the humidity of the rainy season.

Seeing that he couldn't hold it any longer, Hua Shiyuan sniffed slightly and turned to face Gu Yun. He looked at the girl's tears and red eyes, feeling a little panicked.

It seems that this time is different from before, and it is impossible to turn over the story so simply.

In the dim street light, Hua Shiyuan and Gu Yun looked at each other.

"Let me ask you, whose long hair and perfume smell I saw in your car last time belongs to me?"

Gu Yun was startled and didn't have time to answer.

Hua Shiyuan continued to ask, with a hint of crying in her tone.

"Last time we went to ride the Ferris wheel together, was the host friend that He Xuan mentioned was her?"

"..."

Gu Yun's answer was about to come out, but when it got stuck in his throat, a crisp thunder crackled in the clouds, tearing the sky apart.

It shocked him so much that he almost admitted it.

He couldn't answer Hua Shiyuan.

"You don't have to answer me, I know. I knew everything from the moment I saw her."

As he was talking, the rain gradually started to fall, changing from drizzle to moderate raindrops, and then to large puddles of water, pouring on the ground.

Within thirty seconds, the rain poured down.

At the door of the town government dormitory, heavy rain hit Hua Shi's round face. The girl was no longer as delicate as before. She gritted her teeth and wiped her wet face. She couldn't tell whether it was snot, tears or rain.

"I am leaving, bye."

After leaving a sentence, Hua Shiyuan turned around and returned to the dormitory without even looking at Gu Yun.

Gu Yun wanted to grab her hand, but was thrown away again.

Watching the back of the short-haired girl disappear into the town government dormitory, the aunt at the door stopped him and couldn't get through the phone no matter what.

Gu Yun walked alone in the rain, feeling dejected.

It's like a dog.

He suddenly remembered the figure at the gate of Journey to the West, the figure who was contrary to the world, and a huge pain suddenly surged in his heart.

Is this what it feels like to lose?

It was as if a rusty butcher's knife was cruelly cutting open the part of Hua Shiyuan's heart bit by bit on his beating heart.

.......

This rain was crazier than expected.

The clouds suppressed the summer evening into an autumn night, and the wind pulled the lonely red flag on the playground, as if it wanted to tear it into pieces.

The children who were resting in the classroom looked out of the window and seemed to be chattering.

Gu Yun returned to the school dormitory, dried the wet cell phone with a hair dryer, then fully charged it and turned it on. When he called him immediately, he found that he had been blocked by Hua Shiyuan.

The phone rang again and he picked it up. It was Wen Jue who told him not to come.

The terrain near the hotel where she and He Xuan stayed was very low, and there was a lot of water. He Xuan drank again, so it would be inconvenient to pick him up by car, and it would be impossible to walk there anyway.

After Gao Zhipeng was hospitalized, Gu Yun was the only one left in the dormitory.

Hushing, whirring, banging, banging, clanging, the conditions of the dormitory were not very good. All he could hear in his ears were the broken windows, the pouring rain, and the roaring wind.

The moment I hung up the phone, all the light around me disappeared.

power cut.

The room and corridor were dark.

Gu Yun turned his head and looked out the window. It was also dark outside.

The wind seems to be getting stronger again.

A bolt of lightning fell from the distance, bringing a moment of brightness.

After a short moment, the surroundings returned to darkness.

It's so dark that it's disconcerting.

Light and shadow alternated in the corridor, and a figure walked into the room holding a flashlight. It was Zhong Leyi.

A beam of light penetrated the air, weak, swaying, but without stopping, slowly approaching him, and finally raised it directly and hit him.

The small light source was like a barrier, protecting him.

"Stop talking and hold me tight."

The girl lowered her head and threw herself into his arms. Her hands seemed to have used up all their strength to hug him tightly.

Her words were not loud, almost drowned in the sound of rain washing away the world.

Different from the last Ferris wheel accident, the bloody impact Zhong Leyi faced this time was ten times more intense than that of Liu Xuena, who had run away long ago. If she ignored the legal self-defense, she would have been an accomplice in the murder.

Zhong Leyi buried her face in his chest, clenched her small hands into fists, and beat his back hard as she sobbed rapidly.

Boom, boom, boom.

Gu Yun bared his teeth and frowned to endure it, his body shaking a bit from the beating.

But like Zhong Leyi, he remained silent.

The flashlight that was thrown aside ran out of power, flashed a few times, and then went out.

Darkness enveloped everything again.

This time, there was no light left at all.

Not at all.

The two of them were silent in the darkness. Only in the private space of each other's company could they slowly digest the emotions that had accumulated to the extreme after experiencing too many experiences.

Life and death, blood and tears, shared adversity, love apart.

...

The wind has become much quieter, the rain has also slowed down, and the pattering under the eaves has finally turned into a rather crisp ding-ding-dong-dong.

Hua Shiyuan lay on the bed, staring at the empty ceiling in a daze.

When she was left alone, the calmness and restraint that Hua Shiyuan tried her best to maintain disappeared.

She lay beside the bed and wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry. She felt ridiculous and couldn't laugh either.

She didn't know whether to question him or break up directly. She couldn't figure out why.

The moment Zhong Leyi stood in front of her, the smell of YSL's black opium faintly reached her nasal cavity, and she understood everything.

Hua Shiyuan is such a smart person. All the details are placed in front of her. How can she not understand it?

Gu Yun has been lying to her.

Since when did her boyfriend start going out with another girl, start accepting another girl's joys and sorrows, and start becoming a soul partner with another girl?

Is it a welcoming party with emotions before it becomes a melody?

Or is it a fake confession in a debate?

Or is it a ferris wheel full of ritual?

There were so many details worthy of careful consideration that Hua Shiyuan could not come up with a result no matter what.

She suddenly recalled the heart-warming moment when she first met Gu Yun on the bus.

The sun was shining on the young man's face. He was wearing a formal suit and his hair was parted. He jokingly said to her, "Why don't you try to be my girlfriend."

Recalling the night of the debate, when Hua Shiyuan, who was pretending to be a couple, wanted to give up, Gu Yun hugged her tightly, lowered his head and stared into her eyes.

"I'm not pretending, I'm serious."

Hua Shiyuan still can't forget his expression at that moment.

Serious, nervous and persistent.

She will never forget the moment when Gu Yun traveled all the way to Star City just to light New Year's fireworks for her.

On the crowded Binhu Road, witnessed by brilliant fireworks all over the sky, Gu Yun leaned into her ear and told her the eternal promise.

"I will be by your side every year from now on."

Looking back on every moment the two of them got along, Gu Yun had always been very kind to her. Even though he had also established a close relationship with that girl, Gu Yun was still very kind to her.

Hua Shiyuan just doesn't understand that nothing happened, the relationship between the two has not deteriorated, and everything is moving smoothly and happily towards the future.

The future is almost clearly printed in front of them. As long as they move forward normally, there will be a happy ending.

Why did he suddenly stop halfway and want to hold someone else's hand?

The moment she made up her mind to delete Gu Yun's friends, Hua Shiyuan was still a little dazed when she saw the bold and pinned chat box disappearing from WeChat.

She felt a little unreal and asked herself repeatedly in her mind.

Are you really planning to break up? Isn’t this all a dream?

In fact, many things make sense in retrospect.

For example, Gu Yun hasn't mentioned Zhong Leyi in front of her for a long time.

For example, every time Gu Yun goes back to school, he will reply to messages very late at night, or even not at all.

For another example, he is obviously a straight man who doesn't like buying clothes. Every time we meet, he suddenly has a few cool luxury brands that he has never seen before.

It's just that she has always been too stupid and overconfident. In the past year, she has met her parents and built the emotional foundation for buying a new house.

Only within thirty seconds of meeting each other face to face, and meeting in the human world, will I be shocked to realize the truth of this world.

She doesn't blame Zhong Leyi.

It can be seen from Zhong Leyi's eyes that the impulse to be willing to give, to be dedicated, to live and die with Gu Yun, and to throw everything into it is the same as her own.

She loves him, and so does she.

In this rainy village that feels like a paradise, the girl who had imagined countless married lives in her dreams burst into tears.

She wiped away her tears, adjusted her mood, and closed her eyes, but the camera involuntarily flashed to the student union office building during her senior year.

The two had just confirmed their relationship. Gu Yun raised his chin and said to her with a smile in the bustling campus corridor.

"I'm not Teacher Gu now. Don't be embarrassed to give me orders in the future. You can assign tasks to your boyfriend at will."

I really want to go back to that time.

A drop of tear quietly passed by the ear and fell.
