* In the photo, she was wearing a cheongsam, while he was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and half of his shoulders were wet with his coat. That was the only photo she had, so she cherished it.
The first time Song Jinci met Gu Hezhou was at the swearing-in ceremony. She watched him on the stage from a long distance away. Her patron had a gentle expression and a calm brow, just like his character.
"The road ahead will be long but the road will soon be over," he told her again what he had told her. "Gu wishes all candidates good luck in the college entrance examination and a bright future in advance."
Later, she improved her studies and started to try new relationships. But when she looked at the boy's brown woolen coat, she thought that Gu Hezhou also had one. Gu Hezhou looked much better in it.
"This won't work," Gu Hezhou's phone call came urgently, "He had a history of marriage during his undergraduate years, so he might as well be that Zheng Yi."
"Gu Hezhou," she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed his neat collar and forced him to lower his head, "If you don't like me, why should you care about me so much."
She didn't understand why he pushed her away even though his ears were red. She wanted to tell him to wait a little longer, just like she had done countless times before, and she would be able to afford his kind help.
But he always retreated again and again. He was generous to others but stingy to her. He had given her gypsophila for ten years but refused to even give her a rose.
She said that Mr. Gu was generous and sometimes really stingy. Others thought she was joking. Mr. Gu was a well-known good man.
"Gu Hezhou has a strong heart." She lowered her eyes and smiled.
She didn't know that Gu Hezhou had already noticed that she wanted that rose, so the roses in Linzhou bloomed all over the city, from new to full bloom year after year, but that was all.
Intention: The road is long and difficult, but the journey is about to begin
