Part 2. Love Letter from That Year

All men grow beards, okay.

Many years later, Pang Qian would recall this time when she was in year 2. As if time had been turned back, she and he were back at the starting point.

She would recall Gu Mingxi smiling at her that winter morning. They were so warm that they could scorch someone else’s eyes. Every single time she remembered it, she would want to cry.

Gu Mingxi and Li Han moved back to Apt. 502. The reason that they gave to others was that it was inconvenient for Gu Mingxi to get to school when they lived at City West. After year 2 started, he had much more schoolwork to complete. When he started year 3, he would have to go to evening study classes, so it was better to live in the center of the city.

Gu Guoxiang still lived in that large house in the New Gold Park. Actually, Pang Qian already heard about the truth from her parents. Gu Guoxiang and Li Han had separated.

They didn’t divorce, because the two of them were both somewhat against divorce. Or maybe, subconsciously, those feelings were still there. But the reality was that the two of them couldn’t live together anymore. When Gu Guoxiang returned home, Li Han never spoke with him. The moment she spoke, she would lash out at him with cynical words. And sometimes he couldn’t endure it silently, and he would throw back some stabbing words at her. And so, their family would start a big argument again.

The two of them would look at each other with disgust. After a few rounds of this, Gu Guoxiang came home less and less often.

But they couldn’t continue forward like that. Gu Guoxiang was currently rising through the ranks at work, and he couldn’t let others criticize him about a divorce or his style of life. And so, when Li Han suggested taking Gu Mingxi back to the Golden Compound, Gu Guoxiang immediately started getting the arrangements set. Because Li Han wanted to spend her efforts taking care of Gu Mingxi, she couldn’t work at the factory from dawn to dusk anymore, so Gu Guoxiang found a way to let her retire early due to illness. He even helped her find a private company near the compound, where she could work an undemanding office job. As a result, the two of them temporarily separated. They didn’t have to have a great big argument every time they saw each other, so they both felt like a load had been lifted from their shoulders.

But for Gu Mingxi, seeing his parents break up this way, he still felt extremely sad.

The sky was overcast and it had intermittently through the night. Pang Qian carried an umbrella and headed out the door to go to school. She stood in front of her door in a daze, and then eventually went over and knocked on the door to 502.

The door opened and a familiar face appeared in front of her. Gu Mingxi was getting ready to head out. Seeing Pang Qian, he raised his eyebrows at her. “Pang Pang, good morning.”

He was sitting on a stool, changing his shoes. Pang Qian didn’t wait for him to finish putting them on before crouching down to help him put them on. Gu Mingxi was a bit unhappy. “I can put them on by myself.”

“You’re too slow.” Pang Qian looked at his shoes and asked, “Gu Mingxi, will you be cold wearing these shoes?”

“No, I’m used to it.” He stood up, and Pang Qian picked up the raincoat and helped him put it on. Seeing them leave, Li Han came out from the kitchen and exhorted, “Be careful on the way to school. Qian Qian, take care of Gu Mingxi on the bus.”
