Two years later.
G City Airport, a white Audi was parked outside the exit of the airport lobby. Ji Xinyao in the car just heard the news that a plane had landed on time. Calculated the time, it was almost done. She glanced at the time again, turned her head again, and indeed saw Gu Xiuli, who had not seen him for two years, walking out of the airport lobby with a small travel bag.
Gu Xiuli's black casual sportswear suit looks more casual and natural than when he was in the Land Bureau a few years ago. When he took off his sunglasses, he glanced at him inadvertently, with the unique steady and handsomeness of a mature man. Just standing there, his handsome and handsome demeanor attracted the young girls passing by, and even made Ji Xinyao in the car unable to help but take a few more glances.
Sometimes she was really proud of having such a younger brother, but when she thought of the farewell he left when he left two years ago, she got out of the car directly, threw it into the car door and walked over with a smile. Gu Xiuli had already seen her, raised her thin lips slightly, and spread her arms to signal her to go over.
The moment he spread his arms, Ji Xinyao was stunned for a moment. She seemed to see Xiu Li, who was still in love with her brother and sister, back. They didn't have to resist holding hands every time, and would not be embarrassed by a certain hug or even feel *, and they didn't have to keep a distance deliberately, because they were the closest people from the beginning. Every time Gu Xiu Li deliberately distanced her over the years, she felt uncomfortable. She dreamed of Xiu Li wearing her cartoon pajamas in the room for no reason, and she could dream of her holding a rolling pin and chasing him with a laughing and laughing past. The young big boy in my memory seemed to have been away for a long time.
"Do you miss me?" Gu Xiuli looked at her with a smile.
Ji Xinyao came to her senses, walked up to her, and hugged him like a symbol, and then she wanted to retreat. However, as soon as she passed, the person was suddenly hugged by him. She was stunned, but she heard him say in her ear: "Xinyao, I'm back."
"build……"
"Sister." Before she could speak, she suddenly heard him whispering such a word in her ear.
Gu Xiuli has never called her sister since she was seventeen years old, and she has always called her name since then, often with her name. This call to Sister made Ji Xinyao feel sore, as if something was coming in her heart, but she understood, just like this word she understood that her Xiuli was really back.
She raised her eyes, but saw Gu Xiuli's smile. The faint smile was a kind of relief, a kind of steadyness and soberness after the precipitation of a man, and a kind of sunshine and tenderness that belonged to Xiuli alone. Seeing her dazed, he raised his hand and patted her head: "What are you stupid?"
Ji Xinyao took a few deep breaths, then suddenly pushed him away, staring at his leisurely expression: "Xuli, don't think you can escape by acting like me! Two years ago, you suddenly resigned from the Land Bureau without saying a word, and even told anyone in the Gu family that Mo Xin returned to the United States alone. You called me until you were on the plane, but you only said you were going out for a walk, and then hung up the phone. From then on, there was no news for two years. Do you know how many times I have had with Nancy in the past two years? He has so many relationships, but he just doesn't help me find me. I was so angry that I almost ran away from home with my children!"
Gu Xiuli chuckled: "Why are you so angry that you divorce him again?"
Ji Xinyao's lips twitched: "He won't divorce me even if he dies, and I can't make a fortune~"
"I saw him once before leaving. He knew where I would go. He didn't tell you because I said that I would come back when I figured it out, so I don't have to look for me."
"Where have you been in the past two years?" Ji Xinyao asked curiously while walking towards the car with him.
What made her curious about Xiuli's change. When the children were kidnapped two years ago, she vaguely felt that he had something to do in the hospital. But at that time she was too worried about the children's affairs and had no energy to think about other things. Later, Youran and Xuran were found back. She stayed by the children all day long, and felt scared after about half a month. She was so scared that she had to caress her fears. However, when she tried to contact Gu Xiuli again, he always avoided her until one day she received a call from him, which was called before he left. After that, she never saw him again. Even his cell phone was turned off until it was shut down. When asked all the acquaintances around him, they knew nothing about his whereabouts.
A few days ago, she received a call from a strange number. She didn't expect it to be Xiuli. He said he was coming back soon and said about the flight and time.
Today, she also took advantage of the children's weekend vacation to send the children to the Gu family's grandparents to play. She also told Gu Nanxi in the morning and drove to pick them up alone.
Gu Xiuli put his travel bag casually in the trunk of the car. Ji Xinyao stood beside him and looked at him up and down curiously. He sighed: "What do I do when I look at it like this?"
"Hey, don't be mysterious to me. Where have you been in the past two years?" Ji Xinyao hit his arm and blinked at him: "Hurry up and honestly!"
Gu Xiuli smiled softly, closed the trunk casually, then put one hand in his pants pocket, and glanced at the crowd passing by in the airport: "I'm going out to wander, and I'm going wherever I go. There are really a lot of people who have gone."
"Wandering?" Ji Xinyao was puzzled.
Gu Xiuli smiled and did not explain anything to her doubts: "Let's go."
The car drove all the way to the city of G City. Ji Xinyao drove the car while looking at Gu Xiuli sitting in the back row through the rearview mirror. He always looked calm and looked at every familiar scenery passing by outside the window. In two years, G City has been developing rapidly. The former desolation on both sides of the airport expressway has been paved by many renovated factories and various buildings under construction. He just looked at it, but there was no strange feeling.
"Xuli, you said you were going out to wander, so did you bring the money..." Finally, Ji Xinyao couldn't help it. After both of them were quiet for about ten minutes, she asked.
Gu Xiuli glanced at her: "Before leaving, I brought thousands of dollars on her body."
A few thousand yuan... two years, that's no different from not bringing money.
Ji Xinyao felt a little nervous. At that time, because of the child, she didn't pay much attention to the emotional problems between Xiu Li and Mo Xin. When she and the Gu family knew about Mo Xin's return to the United States, Xiu Li had already left at that time and could not contact him at all. The Lin family never said anything about this. With Gu Nanxi and Lin Qifan's friendship, they only learned from Lin Qifan that Mo Xin is doing well now, and Mo Xin is now majoring in piano and school, hoping not to be disturbed too much. But what happened between Mo Xin and Gu Xiuli was not asked at all, and the Lin family did not seem to want to mention this matter again.
I wanted to ask if it was because of Lin Moxin who suddenly ran away without saying a word two years ago, but when the words came to his mouth, I couldn't ask. Looking at the man who seemed to have not changed but seemed to have changed a lot again through the rearview mirror, Ji Xinyao thought of his call to his sister just now, and couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled and said, "Do you want to look back on your home first, or go back to the famous city of Shuiyuan?"
"The famous city of water gardens." He replied.
Ji Xinyao didn't ask much, but still looked at him.
"You only know when I'm back this time. I don't plan to tell the Gu family. I'll leave after a few days of rest."
"Let's go? Are you still going to wander? Are you addicted?" Ji Xinyao was speechless.
Gu Xiuli smiled: "When will you be able to change your problem by digging into the bottom line?"
"Anyway, if you don't explain clearly, don't think about leaving. I have disappeared for two years inexplicably. My little heart can't stand it. If I leave again, I must explain it to me clearly!" Ji Xinyao looked ahead and drove the car seriously and said, "Also, I want to know, why did you leave? And it was so sudden?"
Gu Xiuli didn't answer, but just looked at the street view outside the car window and fell into a long silence.
Until the car drove into the city, the familiar street scene was still in front of me. The city didn't change much, but some shops of all sizes on the street changed their owners and their signs. However, when passing by the Blue Flame bar, everything outside the bar was still the same as before, as if nothing had changed in the past two years.
But in the past two years, Gu Xiuli left City G, went to City Y, where Shi Ji's family was when he was a child, and went to City F, which once left his countless youthful footsteps. Then he took a train to pass by Myanmar and passed the Golden Triangle, and experienced life and death in that dangerous and sensitive area. He went to Africa, and looked at the thirsty and starving adults and children in the hot and dry desert. He wanted to help them but found that the power of mankind was too small. He experienced epidemics and plagues in small African villages. When he was seriously ill, he drank the mud and water fed him by a black girl. After he recovered from the illness, he learned to build houses with them. Later, he walked through the rainforest and crossed two oceans by boat, Britain, France, and the Netherlands... He emptied himself and found his original self. Many people who had been unable to let go and could not let go of it and slowly saw clearly. He went to many places, but he did not go to the United States.
When he was seriously injured in a stray bullet attack by a local drug lord in the Golden Triangle and experienced a moment of life and death struggle, he knew that if he could survive, he would definitely go to the United States.
The United States is his next stop and will be his last stop.
