Gu Yanci did not go to the capital at that time.

Gu Xuanlang only transferred school after finishing his second semester of high school, but Gu Yun went there as early as April to make arrangements for the company.

If he hadn't been unable to find Gu Yanci, he wouldn't have left so neatly.

Because he would subconsciously think that Gu Yanci had gone to the capital.

Gu Yanci and the Li family said that they went to the vicinity of Qingda University, but it was actually just an excuse.

That place was too conspicuous, and he wasn't that stupid.

On the other hand, once you carefully hide the corner of this small town, it is really difficult to find it in a short time.

He and his mother had been hiding like this before, and it took Gu Yun nearly three years to find them.

But this time Gu Yun didn't have that much time.

Even if he had, Gu Yanci would only stay here for about half a year at most. Because of his good grades, he specifically applied to the school to take a leave of absence for a year and a half. The school did not object, but sooner or later he would have to go to the capital.

At least he stayed here until he reached adulthood.

Once you become an adult, many things become easier to do.

But he couldn't tell the Li family's parents that he was still here, otherwise they would definitely find ways to help him.

He has owed them a lot over the years and does not want to shamelessly continue to do so.

Otherwise, how can I pay it off in the future?

However, fate is so wonderful.

When he was about to leave the city, he actually met Li Mianmian.

Gu Yanci smiled bitterly and did not explain. He only asked, "Are you coming to play with your classmates?"

Li Mianmian bit her lip and did not answer.

"Which private room is it in?" Gu Yanci continued with a normal expression, "Brother will take you there."

Li Mianmian opened his mouth.

She really wanted to ask him why.

They haven't seen each other for almost a year. It would be fine if he was really in the capital, but they are clearly so close...so close.

The words came to his lips, but Li Mianmian couldn't say anything.

He has grown a little taller, his facial features have also broadened, and he is more handsome than before.

...He has lost a lot of weight.

Li Mianmian sniffed, was silent for a moment, and whispered: "In private room 304."

"Okay." Gu Yanci put down the things in his hands and walked out of the bar, "Brother will take you there."

Li Mianmian turned to greet Nan Shengsheng.

Seeing Gu Yanci, Nan Shengsheng covered her mouth in shock.

Then she felt the awkward atmosphere that was about to overflow between the two people, and she almost didn't ask.

It wasn't until they entered the private room that Nan Shengsheng couldn't help but pulled Li Mianmian and shook her hard: "What's going on, what's going on?!"

"..." Li Mianmian shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Isn't it?" Nan Shengsheng's eyes widened, "He didn't tell you that he was here?"

"..."

Not sure whether it was to comfort himself or something else, Li Mianmian replied: "I think he just came back and hasn't had time to talk yet. Isn't it summer vacation now? He may come back to work during the summer vacation or something."

"Ah?" Nan Sheng was confused, "There is no store near the university, so he came back to work during the summer vacation? And he is so awesome, there is no way he would go to KTV to work during the summer vacation, right?"

"...I don't know either." Li Mianmian was irritated and opened a can of drink very roughly, "Don't ask."

"Oh..." Nan Shengsheng shut her mouth.

-

During the carnival after the college entrance examination, many people wanted to play all night long.

Li Mianmian originally planned to leave early, but when she met Gu Yanci here, she didn't want to leave so early.

Although she had been sitting here for more than four hours, Gu Yanci did not come to find her.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Li Mianmian couldn't stand it any longer.

Three years of high school has engraved the biological clock in her bones. Staying awake until twelve o'clock is already the limit for her.

Nan Shengsheng couldn't hold on any longer, so he held her arm and urged her to leave together.

A few boys in the class may be night owls usually, but they are still very energetic right now.

Li Mianmian looked at the screen and listened to their chaotic cries and howls. She only insisted on one song and then decisively stood up with her bag.

"Ah, you finally decided to leave..." Nan Shengsheng quickly stood up and then yawned.

Li Mianmian was infected by her and also yawned, with physiological tears accumulating in her eyes.

They said goodbye to their classmates and helped each other out.

Both of them were dizzy and walked as if they were drunk.

Not far after leaving the house, Li Mianmian looked up and saw Gu Yanci.

He leaned against the wall at the end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets, his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

When Li Mianmian approached, he tilted his head and looked over with a calm expression, then stood up straight.

It seemed as if he didn't think about anything just now, he was just waiting for her.

"Have you had enough fun?" he asked, "Did you bring your cell phone?"

Nan Shengsheng was walking blindly with her eyes closed and her pillow on Li Mianmian's shoulder. When she heard the sound, she jumped up from Li Mianmian's shoulder and silently took a step back.

Li Mianmian took out his mobile phone and replied: "I brought it with me."

Gu Yanci nodded: "Call your dad and ask him to pick you up."

"I told them to take a taxi back." Li Mianmian put the phone back into his pocket, "It's so late, they must have fallen asleep."

"They won't sleep until you go back." Gu Yanci said, "Call."

Li Mianmian seemed to be in a fight with him, and said with a slap on the neck: "I don't!"

"..."

Gu Yanci sighed and said in a gentle tone: "Be obedient."

Li Mianmian stared at him and endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold it back and uttered: "Why can't you send me away?"

Gu Yanci remained silent.

After a while, he was defeated first.

"Okay." He said, "Brother will take you back."

He turned around and walked ahead, went to the bar and said a few words to the young lady, and then took a bunch of keys from the young lady.

Li Mianmian followed him and left the KTV.

There was a circle of cars parked in the open space outside. They walked to the corner, Gu Yanci pressed the key, and a black car flashed its lights.

Li Mianmian asked in surprise: "Brother, have you bought a car?"

"No." Gu Yanci opened the door and let her in, "It's the boss's car."

Then he sat in the driver's seat and said while fastening his seat belt: "Do you remember brother Yan Shinan? He is the brother who looks like a stick."

"Well, I remember." Li Mianmian recalled, "He gave me a duck egg on my birthday."

"Yes, that's him." Gu Yanci smiled, "This KTV belongs to them."

"My brother used to help in their KTV. But that KTV was not that large and it didn't open so far. Now this is an expanded branch, and I help them manage it temporarily."

After a pause, he said: "My brother was underage at that time, and only acquaintances like them were willing to take him in."

Li Mianmian nodded: "Oh."

No wonder he used to go home early in the morning. It turned out that the night shift he was talking about was working in a KTV.

After hesitating for a while, Li Mianmian asked: "Then why did you..."

Halfway through, she stopped talking again.

She wanted to ask why she heard someone scolding him when she was on the phone before, but she couldn't ask this question in front of Nan Shengsheng.

And actually now she almost has the answer.

Yan Shinan has a very good relationship with him. Seeing that he can drive other people's cars casually, Yan Shinan's parents probably like him quite a lot, so it's definitely not the boss's scolding.

There are often people in KTV who get drunk and act crazy. If someone scolds him, it is most likely that he is this type of person.
