An Expired Piece of Candy (Short Story)

A short story, very short, so read with caution. The whole article is finished. Because it is short, it is best to read The Destructive Power of the Knife in one sitting. Copy 1: The public always says that King Gu Yan does not like to be high-profile and never reveals his personal life. There have been almost no scandals since his debut. Gu Yan, who has rarely appeared on TV shows in recent years, unexpectedly accepted an invitation from a talk show and spoke generously about his recent life on the show. Gu Yan, who behaves like a gentleman, talked eloquently about various issues on the show, but sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the king was obviously stunned when he faced the host's last question. The host asked: "We have known each other for more than ten years. Now I want to ask from the perspective of friends and for the female fans, what are Gu Yan's criteria for choosing a spouse?" After being silent for a few seconds, Gu Yan picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and replied nonchalantly: "As you know, I once fell in love with a bright and flamboyant girl. I loved her for a long, long time." After the show aired, this segment of Gu Yan's answer was widely reposted on the Internet. People are curious about who this love object that makes the king of heaven is so unhappy is. Later, an omnipotent netizen dug out an unknown street tabloid from his home ten years ago: In that era when pixels were not high enough for high definition - Gu Yan and his girlfriend at the time did not shy away from the camera, holding large and small shopping bags and hugging each other sweetly on the street. The mysterious girlfriend also left only one name on the page: Christy. People finally realized that this was an expired piece of candy from the King of Heaven. Copy 2: Gu Yan's marriage news spread almost overwhelmingly throughout the entire Internet, and even spread to the other side of the ocean. Some insiders say that maybe this bride-to-be is Gu Yan's former girlfriend Christy, because she is the only one who can let Gu Yan make the official announcement with such a big fanfare. Before the wedding, Gu Yan also showed up at the airport with his wife-to-be, and was surrounded by reporters. The airport was packed. Various media outlets are trying to take first-hand photos of this quasi-king-sister-in-law, hoping to see the long-awaited reunion of the century. But unexpectedly, she discovered that this mysterious fiancée was completely different from the bright and flamboyant person Gu Yan once described - she was so low-key that she only wore a plain ring, and only allowed Gu Yan and his assistant to deal with it in front of the camera, smiling silently the whole time. Judging from her face, she is not the same Christy who appeared on the page ten years ago. Later, a well-known entertainment reporter who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years broke the news and introduced Gu Yan's fiancée in just one sentence: a teacher who teaches at the university. He is very low-key and friendly, and he and Gu Yan have become friends in life. However, Entertainment Ji spent a lot of space in the breaking article to reveal the unforgettable ex-girlfriend that Gu Yan talked about on the show: her real surname is Ling, her English name is Christy, she is a Chinese American, and her family is well-off. She met Gu Yan ten years ago at a friend's party and fell in love for a year. And "intimately" included a lot of old information that can no longer be found on the Internet. For example, when Gu Yan became famous when he was young, he bought many luxury cars. When he was in love with Christy, he was not as calm and low-key as he is now. Instead, he often showed up in major luxury stores with his girlfriend. Another example: It was revealed that Christy had once conceived a child for the King of Heaven, but she did not keep it. The two were truly in love back then, but for some reason they were beaten by the woman's family, and the two finally broke up with regret. As the much-anticipated Christy's information slowly made headlines among netizens, people's discussion about King of Heaven's ex-girlfriend Bai Yueguang became more and more intense. Just as this archaeological investigation spread to major online platforms, all posts about the king's ex-girlfriend were deleted overnight. Gu Yan, who has always been known for his good temper in the entertainment industry, entrusted the studio to issue a lawyer's letter to the entertainment reporter. The well-known entertainment reporter who broke the news also came out and issued an apology letter, but he entertained himself to death and wrote in the apology letter: "I really have no intention of offending Ms. Ling, Gu Yan's ex-girlfriend. I only want to complete my job and restore to the public the past events in the entertainment industry many years ago. The matter between Mr. Gu Yan and Ms. Ling is not a secret in the entertainment industry. Although Ms. Ling and Mr. Gu Yan are not destined to be husband and wife in this life, I believe that in Mr. Gu Yan's heart, Miss Ling was no less important than his wife. I wish Mr. Gu and Ms. Ling a happy life and a happy family." Every sentence in the apology letter hints that Gu Yan has deep affection for his ex-girlfriend. Netizens were momentarily sad. After that, Gu Yan himself got married in a low-key manner and never responded to the matter.
