First love that started today

Chapter 37

The coconut jelly is dense in the mouth. Compared with the refreshing coconut water, it has an extra layer of cheese and a richer taste.

Gu Jing took a bite, and when he went to scoop up the second spoonful, he saw the necklaces on the side, and the two were intertwined. He picked up one and took the other: "How did you get here?"

"Maybe Auntie put it just now." Shen Qi sat up from the recliner, took it over, and started to untie the winding part, "Sometimes it's true, my mother's taste is really good, white Phalaenopsis..."

Gu Jing suddenly said: "Silver color."

"Okay, silver Phalaenopsis." Shen Qi placed the pendants of the two necklaces in his palms and observed them carefully, "I don't know which designer's work it is, and it may be my mother's brain hole. She, I always like to mark everything, especially my name.”

Gu Jing looked at the two necklaces and asked, "Are you afraid of losing them?"

"Maybe." Shen Qi said, "After all, she almost lost my dad back then."

"Huh?" Gu Jing came to be curious, and sat up to listen to him.

"They met while studying abroad. My father was a year older than my mother. He fell in love with my mother at that time, but he was afraid of appearing frivolous and shy to speak. On the eve of graduation, he finally wrote a love letter to my mother. Attached his contact information, but a year later, my mother did not contact him."

Gu Jing asked: "What about later?"

"The next thing is the important point." Shen Qi held the necklace in his hand, "Suddenly one day, he received a text message from a stranger, the content was very brief, she said: 'Hello, I am Qin Shi'ai.'"

Gu Jing said, "Why is it so sudden?"

Shen Qi replied: "It wasn't sudden, my mother actually fell in love with my father a long time ago, but she is not a woman who puts love first, she has many concerns."

"First of all, she feels that liking someone is a momentary feeling. Maybe because of a certain behavior, she has developed an admiration for that boy, but she doesn't know the real him. She needs time to observe."

"Secondly, that is, later, she observed that the boy's family was farther away than she imagined, and that boy was even better than she imagined. She didn't want to be named as a climber, and she herself didn't want to be in the She was caught up in love during her studies, and she didn't want to do this kind of secret observation behavior anymore, she began to devote herself to her studies, and she wanted to make herself better than everyone else."

"So after that, even though she received a love letter, she didn't respond to his love." Shen Qi paused, with a smile on his lips, "Until one year after graduation, she heard that he was forced by his family to go on a blind date." , I finally couldn't bear it anymore."

Gu Jing could imagine the back: "So I almost lost it."

"Yeah, just a little bit." Shen Qi let go of his fingers, and raised the necklace to his eyes, and the hollowed-out sunset pendant leaped onto his eyelashes, "My dad said at the time: 'If you can't wait for Miss Qin, then it doesn't matter who you go on a blind date with. The relationship is nothing more than a marriage arranged by the family.'”

He didn't want to talk about love with Gu Jinggao, but just thought of it suddenly, so he shared the story of his parents.

Gu Jing felt touched after listening, but the level of feeling is still superficial, such as "a momentary feeling", what kind of momentary feeling can be called love.

He thought about it, couldn't figure it out, and didn't think about it anymore, and said to Shen Qi: "When I have time in the future, I can also tell you something about my parents."

"Is it as romantic as this?" Shen Qi's evaluation of his parents' love has always been like this.

Gu Jing didn't have much feeling or understanding of romance, so after thinking for a while, he said, "They may be pursuing freedom, a free lover, and a free self."

Shen Qi smiled: "Okay, we'll talk about it later." He stood up and walked into the house, "I'll take you through two comic books first, in my room."

Gu Jing glanced at his hand calmly, wondering why he didn't return the necklace.

May be temporarily forgotten.

"Follow me." Shen Qi pushed open the glass door.

Gu Jing scooped a spoonful of coconut jelly into his mouth and followed behind him.They didn't take the elevator, didn't even wear indoor slippers, entered the house from the swimming pool, and just walked up the steps.

Not in a hurry, so he walked very slowly. When passing the corner platform on the first floor, Gu Jing paused slightly. His angle was facing a room, and he could see someone cleaning a piano in the room.

Shen Qi followed his gaze, wondering what he was looking at.

Gu Jing's gaze didn't seem to be on the piano, but more like it was on the hand of the cleaner.

There was a narrow-mouthed vase where the cloth was about to fall, so he saw a rose that was no longer bright blooming in it.

The cleaning aunt picked it up and put it down again, this action was also seen by Shen Qi.

He froze for a moment, then opened his mouth to explain: "That's..."

"I seem to have seen it before." Gu Jing said and looked at Shen Qi, "Is it the one I picked?"

Shen Qi breathed out, turned his head and continued to walk up: "So what? Don't think I don't know, you must have stolen the roses outside the north gate of the school."

Gu Jing was successfully diverted from the subject, chased after him and said, "I didn't pick it secretly. I asked the guard uncle later, and he said that it is possible to pick it. As long as the roots are not uprooted, the flowers will bloom again next year."

"Whatever you say, I won't ask."

"What I said is true, I didn't lie to you."

Shen Qi turned his back to Gu Jing, the corners of his mouth couldn't move for a long time, he turned into the room, and pushed a cardboard box for him to pick: "Let's see, which ones are you interested in."

Gu Jing took out a few books from the box, sat on the carpet opposite Shen Qi, flipped through the covers and asked, "There are too many here, I'm dazzled to choose, do you have any special recommendations?"

Shen Qi quickly found a copy, pointed to the name on the cover and said: "This one, the theme of hot-blooded youth, the main character is the guitarist of the school band, I think it looks good."

"That's it," Gu Jing took it from his hand, "I'll talk to you after I read it."

Shen Qi was shocked and said, "Do you want to finish watching now?"

Gu Jing raised his eyes and looked at him, seeing him holding up a pile of books: "There are so many books, and the author is still serializing."

"Oh," Gu Jing thought for a while, "I can borrow it."

Shen Qi laughed when he lent the word: "Do you think I run a library?"

Gu Jing stretched out his hand: "The borrowing register."

"You can really have this." Shen Qi found a notebook and a pen, "I'm writing for you."

Gu Jing took off the cap of the pen, opened the notebook, set aside the title page, and wrote the title, borrower, and date of lending on the next page.

As for the expected return date, he hesitated, so he asked Shen Qi: "How long did it take you to finish reading this book?"

"I can't remember clearly," Shen Qi said, "The expected return date can be left blank first, it doesn't need to be so precise."

"Ok."

Gu Jing was writing on the carpet, closed the notebook after writing, and raised his arm when returning it, unintentionally bringing something with him.

Shen Qi picked up the necklace that had fallen out of nowhere, and then remembered: "Do you want me to help you wear it now?"

Holding his upper body with his arms, he felt sore and numb after too long. The manga at hand had turned over a dozen pages, Gu Jing let go of his fingers, and the pages were quickly organized.

Memories surged silently, he raised his head and looked at the silver Phalaenopsis in Shen Qi's palm.

Shen Qi also helped him wear it last time.

That day, they became friends, and he gave Shen Qi a rose, and Shen Qi said that he would take him to the beach to pick up the sunset.

Later they really went, more than once, Shen Qi treated him very well, better than all the friends he knew before.

But because of this, he had a different idea. He hoped that their friendship would be like these two Phalaenopsis necklaces, each other and unique.

In his view, this is selfishness.

During the day, he decided to wean himself off part of his selfishness and figured out how to do it.

But until now, he has not been able to say "don't be so nice to me again" to Shen Qi.

Gu Jing's too obvious expression change reminded Shen Qi.

"I almost forgot," he sat upright, "Question and answer time."

The carpet was in close contact with his arms, and he was sweating. Gu Jing lowered his head and closed his eyes. After calming down for a while, he slowly got up from the ground, sat down, and waited for Shen Qi's question.

Shen Qi didn't ask the first question, so he paid attention to Gu Jing's arm first, stretched out his fingertips and rubbed on it: "I've been lying down for so long, I've already left marks."

Gu Jing turned around and took a look. It was the trace printed by pressing the necklace just now.

Obviously, that one is Shen Qi, as evidenced by the clearly visible "SQ" on the arm.

"Does it not hurt?" Shen Qi asked him.

Gu Jing raised his hand to cover that place: "I don't feel anything."

Shen Qi seemed to find it interesting, picked up Gu Jing's necklace and pressed it on his wrist twice, after removing it, his skin was only reddened, without leaving "GJ".

He said, "I can't do it for a while, it takes as long as you."

Gu Jing was afraid that he would still look at him, so he hid his arms back.

Shen Qi noticed the other party's little move, deliberately pretended not to see it, and laughed it off.

"Can you be absolutely honest?" Shen Qi suddenly changed the subject, "In the next question and answer."

"..." Gu Jing's silence had already expressed everything.

Shen Qi said: "If you can't, at least give a reason."

Gu Jing scratched the fluff of the carpet, and suddenly his nose felt sore: "I seem to have been invaded by selfishness."

This reason is far from the content of the question and answer he prepared.

Shen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "What kind of answer is this?"

On the one hand, I couldn't laugh or cry, and on the other hand, I really cried.

"I don't want to become like this, but..." Gu Jing suddenly let go of the carpet, and his tone of voice fluctuated, mixed with crying of self-blame, "I have become such a selfish person."

Seeing him constantly wiping his tears with the back of his hand, Shen Qi suddenly felt overwhelmed: "You are not selfish, who said you are selfish?"

"You don't know what's going on in my head at all." Gu Jing denied his words, his heart suddenly collapsed, and he just spit out the hidden words, "You are very good to me, I shouldn't have too much Thoughts, but sometimes I just can't help thinking, will I be your best friend. I know I'm abnormal, I know I'm selfish, I even know the right way to relieve it, but, but I Do not want to tell you……"

Shen Qi seemed to understand a little bit, Gu Jing's thoughts now were the same as Zhuang Tingxi's before.

He gently put his hand on Gu Jing's shoulder, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to hear my thoughts?"

Gu Jing raised his head, Shen Qi scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and then went to wipe the tears on his face.

"It's not selfish." Shen Qi smiled lightly, "It's just the troubles of making friends in adolescence, you're not the only one who thinks this way, it's normal to have this kind of thinking, everyone wants to be the most unique one. "

Gu Jing stared into his eyes suspiciously: "Really?"

"Really." Shen Qi nodded firmly, "And I can also tell you that if someone says 'you are my best friend' to you easily, it must be a lie. How old are we, in the future I will meet more people, and to say such absolute words now is either naive or deceitful."

What Shen Qi said made sense, and this level was something that Gu Jing had never thought of. He blinked and fell into confusion again: "Then what should I do, I'm afraid I will always be troubled by this trouble."

"It's okay," Shen Qi said seriously, "I have a way to stop you from bothering me."

Gu Jing looked at him suspiciously again, only to see that he raised the necklace with his own name engraved on it: "Come closer to me."

Gu Jing moved forward a little: "What are you doing?"

"Exchange." Shen Qi leaned forward, his voice was right next to his ear, "I'll give you my necklace, and you will wear my name, so naturally you won't worry about me anymore."

Gu Jing felt that Shen Qi's words were both reasonable and unreasonable. After he thought for a moment, Shen Qi had already put on the necklace for him and withdrew his hand.

"Believe me, and believe that you are special to me, okay?" Shen Qi's tone was completely coaxing. Others might not have this patience, but Gu Jing loved to cry, so he had to coax him.

Gu Jing was so coaxed that he lost all thoughts and only nodded in response.

He looked down at the necklace, touched the Phalaenopsis around the outside with his fingers, and finally touched Shen Qi's name.

"exchange……"

When Shen Qi heard him muttering to himself, he wanted to laugh unconsciously, but he had to hold back, otherwise the other party would think he was laughing.

In order to hide his smile, he handed another necklace to Gu Jing and said, "It's your turn to wear it for me."
