C179 (2/2)
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed and the cold drinks store hadn't changed at all. The only ones who had changed were the two of them.
Xiao Yue did not follow closely, but still sent bodyguards to follow Shen Liangxia. Fortunately, these people were dressed well, and did not have any black clothed sunglasses, but even so, these tall and big people standing in the middle of the group of students looked out of place, attracting everyone's attention.
On the other hand, Shen Liangxia and Gu Tide's bumpy hair and bulging belly would attract attention. However, the two of them looked like a couple and weren't that out of place.
Ice cream Shen Liangxia didn't dare to eat. In front of her was a glass of blueberry banana milk shake. Gu Tide ordered a cup of iced coffee, but didn't have the desire to drink it.
His gaze drifted out of the window and onto the university campus. He thought of the long-awaited ringtone, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face.
”Do you regret it? To the barracks? ”
Shen Liangxia spoke up, pulling his attention back to her.
He shook his head gently, ”Regret cannot be said to be true. There is something I long for in the army. Hot blood, dreams, training … I am no longer a child. I cannot live like I used to, nor can I hide behind other people's backs and let them help me out after something happens.”
As he said this, there was a trace of melancholy in his tone, ”People have to grow up. If I were just a young master from a wealthy family, I wouldn't be able to protect anything.”
The incident of Shen Lengxia entering the police station and the car accident had always been on his mind. Not only was he unable to protect the people he loved, he couldn't even do anything for her when she was in trouble.
”If I had been strong enough back then, you probably wouldn't have suffered so much.”
Love is a kind of obsession, he stayed by Shen Liangxia's side for a few years, and he felt that he loved her no less than Xiao Huai Cen.
”In this world, there are some things that are destined to happen. You can't just avoid them just because you want to.” Shen Liangxia pursed her lips as she looked at the growing male student in front of her. Her heart was also filled with melancholy.
”How old are you now? You talk like an old man, yet you're destined to die. Your meaning isn't that your fate.” The corner of Gu Dai's mouth twitched. He had wanted to laugh at first, but now he felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
He also loves Shen Liangxia, if I was heartless, it would be easier said than done, it would be like scraping meat from a bone, he would grind his teeth and peel off the most important part of his life, there would be no anesthetic, he could not stop the operation, and after doing all this, he would only be drenched in blood and would be in pain.
He loved him. She didn't love him and he didn't want to force her, so he could only choose to let go. But after letting go, he didn't want to tell her how much pain he felt.
Since he had already decided to let go, there was no need for him to pester her any longer. This would cause her to be troubled, making her suffer alongside him.
Since he loved her, of course he wanted her to be happy. He was not great, and if Shen Liangxia also loved him, even if it was just a little bit, he would still hold her hand tightly and not let go.
But she did not love him!
He would not say anything vague in front of her. Since he could not be a lover, he would continue to be good friends and good brothers.
However, if he didn't say it, Shen Liangxia might understand.
After being together for so many years, they probably knew each other better than they thought.
However, if he didn't expose her, she wouldn't intentionally poke him.
She had only experienced one love affair, and she wasn't an ambiguous expert, nor did she like to play that one. If she liked it, she liked it, and if she didn't like it, she didn't like it.
However, there was one time when she purposely acted ambiguous in front of a man. She couldn't even say why she did that back then, but now that she thought about it, even the reason was a complete mystery. As for how she did it, she couldn't even remember what exactly, and she only had a vague impression of who that man was.
Other than Xiao Yan, who else could it be?
”How can you be so old? I want to be a mother, okay?”
”That's right. When you come back, there will be a baby holding your hand and calling you mother. That will scare me.”
Thinking of that scene, Gu Tide shook his head in amusement. ”You're even like a child yourself. I really don't know what will happen if you have a baby.”
