Gu Chen met Toyama Masashi. He seemed to be taking a walk, but also seemed to be deliberately creating a chance encounter.

"What a coincidence, Teacher Gu." The polite Japanese saw him coming towards him and greeted him with a smile.

"You're back so soon?" Gu Chen asked.

"No, in fact, I haven't set off yet." Toyama Masashi smiled: "He's just a... well, the scumbag you call him, it's easy to enlighten him."

Of course, the academy cannot let Zhao Menghua wander around. He once entered the territory of the Dragon Clan and almost lost his life on a subway that couldn't stop. So the academy specially appointed him because his specialty is hypnosis and psychological suggestion.

Gu Chen said: "I'm fine, I may not need psychological counseling."

"Want to take a walk?" Toyama Masashi invited.

On both sides of the Yong Road, the leaves of the plane trees have fallen off, and the dead branches cut the dim sunlight into pieces.

"Next time." Gu Chen pointed to a few people waiting not far away, "They are still waiting for you to set off."

That was Masashi Toyama's companion.

Hearing this, Masashi Toyama nodded silently, "Okay, people always have things that they can't think of. What should we do? In the end, we always have to think about something, because we can only look forward, not just for ourselves."

"We must always learn to grow from constant farewells, even if it is really sad." He patted Gu Chen's arm gently and left.

Gu Chen lowered his eyes, turned around and walked towards the freshmen dormitory building.

He went to Xia Mi's dormitory. Since there were not many freshmen enrolled this year, the dormitory was somewhat spare, so she lived alone.

Pushing the door open, you are greeted by sunshine.

As dusk approached, the sun gradually tilted towards the mountains and forests. Gu Chen subconsciously looked up and saw the swaying shadows of trees on the ceiling. Because the trees outside the window had all lost their leaves, the slender branches were particularly clear.

The window was half open, and the curtains were rising and falling in the wind. He stood in the sunshine, with his head raised, and his eyes suddenly felt a little dull.

The dormitory style is minimalist, with very few things. The walls are painted the same white as the college, and are equipped with tables, chairs, beds and wardrobes. Except for some necessary daily necessities, there are no extraneous additions.

Gu Chen walked in and lightly scanned the desk with his fingers. The owner had just left and there was not much dust on it. He touched the glass and imagined the girl sitting here drinking water with her eyes bright and thinking.

The drawer on the left was a little open, and he hooked it with his finger. There was a flat black gift box inside, with a notebook covered in black leather and a glass jar underneath.

He recognized the gift box at a glance. It was given to Xia Mi when he caught the doll. After opening it, a red scarf lay quietly inside. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully took it out. A faint fragrance lingered, familiar and soft.

.

The jar next to it was filled with colorful stars, which were folded from various colorful candy papers. Gu Chen looked at them carefully for a while and found that they were all the sugars he had eaten, such as soft candies, fruit candies, and assorted candies.

One by one, it’s full.

That notebook was a diary, just like the one he had written in his early years, recording the weather of the day and the occasional interesting things.

"He actually writes a diary? Well, starting from today, I will start writing too!"

"People in this school forum are so gossipy..."

"If you call me one against seven, then I'll call you... Quan. I'm also a Naruto fan!"

"He is indeed a bit stupid and feels easy to deceive..."

"Those two brothers are so stupid and pitiful. Will I be the next one?"

"Should we kill him? Kill him or not...it's annoying!"

Gu Chen turned the page slowly, and his eyes reflected the lines of beautiful handwriting. He read the girl's thoughts between the lines, and the beautiful face inevitably appeared in his mind.

He took a deep breath, put the diary in his arms, and kept it alone.

There were too many traces of Xia Mi in the room, and just looking over it made him feel like he was spying on her life.

Gu Chen sat on that snow-white sheet for a while, until the sky turned orange and the wind brought a chill, then he covered everything with the dust-proof cloth folded in the cabinet, as if it were sealed.

Finally, he walked to the window, closed the window tightly, drew the curtains, and planned to leave. Then, he saw a piece of paper taped to the wall behind the curtains.

A very familiar page, yellowed and full of creases, with some faded writing written in pencil on it.

"It was strange to have dinner and drink with her today..." Gu Chen read out softly, "I feel like I am alive like a human being."

He was suddenly choked up, and his chest seemed to be filled with the night wind, which made him feel extremely stuffy. He clenched his fists and beat his chest hard.

The folds were a little damaged, and there were countless paper planes with rough edges. It could be seen that it had been opened and folded countless times.

When Gu Chen walked out of the dormitory building, the street lights were on early. Students walked by talking and laughing on the corridor, and the cold air was filled with an ambiguous and warm smell.

He walked into the crowd and passed by men and women. The setting sun fell behind him, and the cold and dark afterglow enveloped him.

…

Italy, Rome.

A document was placed on Frost's desk - "Application for Marriage to A-level Student Chen Motong (Student Number A09003)".

Gu Yao

He turned directly to the end. The secretary of the college, Norma, the principal Hilbert Jean Angers, and the vice principal Nicolas Flamel had all given their approval, with exactly the same opinions. They all thought that they were the best among the A-level students.

However, the offspring born from the union of Caesar Gattuso and Chen Motong may be genetically unstable and require a longer observation period.

In other words, the college management rejected the application.

Especially the unattractive vice-principal, whose clumsy and unrecognizable signature and the three words "disagree" particularly irritated Frost's nerves.

On the opposite side, Passi said: "If the family uses its position on the school board to forcefully approve this application, it is okay. Several school directors will support you."

Frost shook his head, "The family has no reason to do this. We can allow this marriage, but Caesar should understand that this is out of the family's love for him. If he rejects the family's love and goes to propose marriage, the family will also express dissatisfaction."

."

"I understand, the family has love for the heir, and the heir also has the responsibility to be loyal to the family." Passy considered: "But Caesar is too stubborn."

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later Caesar will understand that the family loves him, and on that day we will make every effort to let him live with his beloved girl." Frost resealed the document into the bag, "Just give it to me

My dear nephew, this is a lesson, it is only a matter of time before this application is approved."

Patsy said in surprise: "The family has decided to make an exception and let the next heir choose his own bride?"

Frost smiled slightly, "No, the family never makes an exception when choosing the heir's wife."

Percy looked puzzled.

Frost said lightly: "He thought he had found free love, but Chen Motong was originally the bride prepared for him by his family."

Patsy nodded with understanding, then put the small box in his hand on the table, "Mr. Gu asked me to bring this back, he didn't use it."

Frost looked at the familiar box and let out a long sigh.

It was what he had given to Gu Chen before, and it contained the Philosopher's Stone.

…

On Christmas Eve 2010, the snowflakes were falling.

The streets of bj are full of Christmas trees and reindeer statues decorated with small lights. There is Santa Claus in front of every shopping mall giving small gifts to children, and every restaurant is promoting Christmas Eve dinner.

The boys and girls in the group held hands, the girls walked through the streets holding roses cultivated in the greenhouse, and even the street singers in the subway station sang the songs of the season with all their strength.

Every winter, the snow in BJ is a bit stingy, and this year’s first snow came extremely late.

"Sir, let's buy a bouquet of flowers." The little girl carrying a flower basket stopped the man wearing a red scarf, her timid eyes full of expectation.

And she undoubtedly encountered a big resentment, who actually bought all her flowers without saying a word.

"In a few minutes, she will bring another full flower basket to sell flowers." Lu Mingze was the only one with a childish voice, and a tone that could see through life and make everyone drunk but I was alone.

Secondary 2 is his daily routine, and giving advice has become his habit.

Gu Chen lowered his head and glanced at the flowers he was holding, "I should kick you out."

"Maybe you are also afraid of being lonely, so you brought me with you." Lu Mingze said with a smile.

At this time, Gu Chen seemed to have seen something, and anxiously separated from the crowd and ran forward.

It was a somewhat familiar figure from behind. After catching up, he tentatively patted the other person's shoulder. During the short time when she turned around, he couldn't help but hold his breath and his heart beat like a drum.

Opposite me, the girl took off her headphones and looked confused, "Is something wrong?"

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Gu Chen forced a smile.

Only the back looks somewhat similar.

The first impression of Xia Mi is that she is so beautiful that it makes people feel as if they are not allowed to enter, and she has a deserted fairy air. The girl in front of her is like any other living being, gentle and harmless. There are two small moles under her eyelids.

Dressed in a sporty style and wearing a pair of basketball shoes. No matter in appearance, temperament or dress, they are all distinct.

The girl looked at the bouquet of flowers in his hand and said, "You want to give it to me?"

"Sorry." Gu Chen didn't expect her to be so fearless.

Watching his leaving figure, the girl smiled silently and put on her headphones again.

As night falls, both sides of the long street light up from west to east. The street lights, windows, and neon lights in front of the commercial buildings are full of color.

Cars and cars are coming and going on the long street, and people are bustling. The lights are dim in the falling snow, and the rose petals in the sky are accompanied by the light snow, falling with the night. Pedestrians look up curiously, reaching out to catch them, breathing and the smoke of fireworks are reflected in the light and shadow.

Flying everywhere.

This city is beautiful and lonely, like a castle in a fairy tale where even the flames sleep.

"Want to go get something to eat?" Lu Mingze said lazily.

"You can't eat it."

"I see it tastes good to you."

"Your treat." Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly among the crowd.
