Chapter 23： Extra

The wedding was ahead of schedule. At the request of Wen Ruyan, it was placed on New Year's Eve. The New Year's celebration was strong. Gu's family was brightly lit. Wen Ruyan was sitting in the bedroom in a white wedding dress waiting for the groom to pick her up.

And the groom sits in the study absent-mindedly.

Today is a day of his great joy, but he can't be happy anyhow, as if the person who got married today is not him, and he even feels numb in his heart, as if he has accomplished some mission.

When he played with the wedding ring on his hand, he suddenly remembered that she personally put it on him when he was married to Shi Sheng. When he thought of Shi Sheng, the man's heart felt a little unknown.

It's like that woman named Shi Sheng can bring him waves.

He sat on the sofa silently, and suddenly wanted to call the woman named Shi Sheng.

A call came in just as he picked up the phone.

The note is Shenger.

Seeing this name, the man was sluggish for a moment.

How could she suddenly remember to call him?

He tremblingly pressed the answer button with his fingers, and he was about to yell Shenger gently and softly when he put his fingers in his ears, he cried heartbreakingly: "Gu Tingchen, Shenger is gone in her own home!"

Gu Tingchen was stunned, "What does it mean to be gone?"

How can it disappear at home if it is gone?

The voice on the phone can't tell the familiarity, nor the pain.

Gu Tingchen's heart sank, always feeling that something terrible has happened.

"Sheng'er passed away."

The phone dropped suddenly to the ground...

Gu Tingchen hurried to Shi's house and saw only one woman.

He happened to know that person.

Ji Nuan, Shi Sheng’s best friend.

And Shisheng?

lay on the bed lifelessly with her eyes closed tightly. Her face was very pale and there were shallow scars on her cheeks.

He had never come to see her without makeup, she was more tender than he thought.

Like a carefree little girl.

She was originally a little girl...

Gu Tingchen tremblingly walked to her and knelt down and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The posture of kneeling is too scary, as if afraid of losing something.

Wen Ruyan hurriedly saw Gu Tingchen like this.

trembling all over, holding the woman motionless, as if in a calm state.

At this moment, she knew that her wedding was ruined.

She turned and exited, and happened to see the man beside her.

He has exactly the same face as the man he loves.

Only his name is Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi is Gu Tingchen's brother.

His eyes also seemed to be in a trance.

He approached and picked up the card beside Shi Sheng.

There are only two simple sentences.

"Little girl, why do you keep following me?"

"Because... I like you."

Because I like it...

Gu Lanzhi knew her intentions a long time ago, but she didn't care much when she was a child.

For many years, he didn't expect that she would keep looking for him after the concert that night.

He still couldn't bear to see her look in a daze.

He appeared in her world and sent her back to Shi's house.

Even if she recognized him as her brother Gu Tingchen.

Speaking of which, he still met her once.

in the school building that year.

It was raining that day.

He is upstairs and she is downstairs.

He clearly felt her sadness.

He knew she was crying.

She stubbornly said that she did not cry.

The rain drenched her makeup, and he saw that immature face.

is as pure and immature as before.

can be above the makeup, she is so charming and alluring.

And he is also the ex-wife of his brother.

He suddenly understood that this little girl loved the wrong person from beginning to end.

He regarded him as Gu Tingchen.

So she married him without hesitation.

He put the card on the bed and turned to leave here.

Don't know why, Gu Lanzhi remembered that year again.

She asked him if he could play the streets where the wind lives.

He said, I will play tomorrow in class.

She did not show up that day, but he was sure she heard it.

So for so many years, no matter what concert, the street where Feng lives is a piece of music he must play. Even he himself doesn't know what it is for. It may be in response to the little girl's like.

Gu Lanzhi closed his eyes, and waves began to appear in his always indifferent heart.

What is the wetness on his face?

Are you crying?

what about this?

for the little girl who loves the wrong person?

……

The funeral of 　　 Shisheng was on New Year's Eve. Gu Tingchen wore a black orthodox suit and stood desperately in front of her tomb. Many people at the scene mourned this young woman who had fallen in power but was in power.

Gu Tingchen's heart is also sad at this moment.

He couldn't accept it, there is really no such woman as Shi Sheng in the world.

Gu Tingchen was about to collapse, suddenly knelt in front of the tombstone, looking at the smiling gentle woman on the tombstone, feeling annoyed.

He suddenly started to blame her for not telling him anything.

complain that she has to bear everything herself.

complained that she didn't blame him when she left.

even smiled and wished him a happy wedding!

"Mr. Gu."

Someone called him suddenly.

He raised his head in a daze and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He heard him say calmly: "I am Miss Shi’s lawyer. She made a will with me more than two months ago. All Shi’s shares were transferred to you, and a suicide note was left to you."

Gu Tingchen took the suicide note, only ten words—

Tingchen, I hope you will get your wish in this life.

There is only one sentence in her suicide note.

Gu Tingchen suddenly broke down and cried, how could she be so cruel?

took his hurt to her but did his best to wish him every possible way.

He would rather she blame him, she hates him, and don't forgive him so easily.

Lawyer Chen said again: "Miss Shi has a last wish."

Gu Tingchen's grief is uncontrollable. Lawyer Chen sighed: "Miss Shi hopes that on the day she leaves, you can personally send her to her and play one of her favorite piano music, the street where the name and style live."

The words fell, Gu Tingchen looked up at Lawyer Chen in shock, "What did you say?"

"Miss Shi would like to hear you play for her a piece of street where wind lives."

He has never played the piano...

Gu Tingchen's gaze suddenly looked at Gu Lanzhi, who was indifferent, with fear.

He is in a black coat and looks indifferent, and beside him is a valuable piano.

Gu Tingchen asked in a trembling voice, "You already knew it?"

"Well, the person the little girl likes is me."

Gu Lanzhi's gaze fixedly looked at the half-closed coffin. The little girl was only exposed below her neck, her body was very thin, and there was a mole on her ankle, a bit unlike her, because he had just seen it some time ago. She is not like this, and her skin is slightly rough.

She has always been exquisite and beautiful, how has she been like this...

Gu Lan was puzzled, but because he couldn't see his face, he suppressed the confusion in his heart. Only then did he notice that the little girl was wearing a plain white dress.

He remembered that she wore this body when he first noticed her.

I didn't expect that she would remember it all the time.

hid in my heart, firmly remembering all the little things.

put it on again on the day of death, it's like going back to the past.

is so stubborn and vaguely fond of a stranger who doesn't even know his name.

Gu Lanzhi felt pity, he should have told her her name back then.

This will avoid mistakes.

Even if he doesn't love her, he will not hurt her according to his character.

Then she will be peaceful, smiling bright and worry-free.

little girl...

Gu Tingchen remembered the card she had left beside her when she died.

"Little girl, why do you keep following me?"

"Because... I like you."

No wonder his mother called before and asked: "Where did Sheng'er find your brother's scarf for the snowman?"

At that time, he didn't care too much, and as a result he missed huge information.

Some time ago, he specifically asked the assistant about her whereabouts and learned that she was in school.

Assistant said: "She is a temporary piano teacher at Wucheng University."

Before he heard this sentence, he never knew she could play the piano.

He hurried over, just in time for her performance.

That song is the street where the wind lives.

He was fascinated by listening at the door, and he heard a student ask her why she was crying.

She smiled gently and said, "That's the teacher's little secret."

Now he finally understands that his secret is Gu Lanzhi.

It's just that she mistakenly identified Gu Tingchen, and she loved it for many years.

Even on the day of the divorce, she was longing for him.

She asked him if he could fall in love.

She wants to use Shijia and divorce in exchange for self-fulfillment.

But he rejected her at the time, even then she chose to let him go.

What is the meaning of the street where 　　 wind lives?

One more thing, the lock code of her house is 1227.

He realized that 1227 is Gu Lanzhi's birthday.

Although they were twins, it was December 28th because he arrived one day later.

And his brother Gu Lanzhi’s birthday is December 27th.

Another way of thinking, is it true that all the passwords she set, whether it is a door lock, a bank card, or a computer lock screen, or even more passwords that require this number?

Thinking of this, Gu Tingchen was going crazy.

In fact, Gu Tingchen wanted to make a difference. December 27 was when Shi Sheng met him.

It just happened to be Gu Lanzhi’s 22nd birthday that day.

Gu Tingchen really broke down, and everything instantly became ironic and ridiculous.

He never expected that the love he was enjoying unscrupulously would turn out to be his dove in the magpie's nest! ! !

And Shi Sheng never knew that he loved the wrong person until he died!

The sad and soothing piano music sounded in my ears.

The tune is too familiar, he just heard her play it not long ago.

The street where the wind lives.

Gu Lanzhi was sending her away the way she wanted.

Gu Tingchen felt that there was nothing more ironic than this moment.

A picture of a boy playing the piano was suddenly placed in front of the grave.

Gu Tingchen looked at the woman aside in surprise.

Ji Nuan’s voice is clear and shallow, “I found this in Sheng’er’s room.”

That picture, that person, is definitely Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Tingchen's grief suddenly spread throughout his heart, and his body became very numb.

It turns out that her stubbornness and her love all belong to Gu Lanzhi.

Even her Shijia shouldn’t belong to him.

And the little warmth she got when she was alive was also a gift from Gu Lan.

Gu Tingchen suddenly thought of himself...

What about yourself?

A wrong existence.

And this mistake directly led to her death.

子-Uterine cancer...

He gave it to her personally.

"Sheng'er, you are so cruel."

Ji Nuan, who is standing next to Gu Tingchen, has been hesitating to see him in his current state, wondering whether to tell Gu Tingchen the truth, in fact, the woman in the coffin...

But she promised Chu Xing again, keeping her mouth tight about Shi Sheng's whereabouts.

In fact, Ji Nuan has always hated Gu Tingchen for sending herself to prison, but she started to feel sorry for the man who was in grief at this moment. After all, who would dare to say that she was right on the road of love?

Gu Tingchen was wrong, the fault was that he had not seen his mind clearly.

Shi Sheng is also wrong, love the wrong person.

But after so many years, how can Shi Sheng love the man in front of him?

There are many questions that Ji Nuan doesn't understand, but she thinks Shi Sheng loves Gu Tingchen.

Thinking of this, Ji Nuan slowly said, "Gu Tingchen."

The man ignored him, Ji Nuan knelt down and whispered in his ear.

In an instant, the man's pupils were full of ecstasy and recovered from loss, but he was anxious.

Too many emotions were mixed together and it was beyond words. Gu Tingchen felt his heart beating about to explode. He looked at Ji Nuan nervously, as if grabbing the last straw and asking, "You didn't lie to me?"

Ji Nuan smiled and reminded: "She won't forgive you easily."
