Pang Qian was so angry: "I can prove it! I know the name of Mr. Ostrich. Do you want me to tell you?"

"But I don't know his name." The front desk lady's voice was delicate and her tone was very sincere. "To be honest, I understand your feelings. There are too many female readers coming to ask Mr. Ostrich about Mr. Ostrich. I am very curious about Mr. Ostrich, but in our company, only his editor contacted him alone, and none of us know his personal situation."

She didn't seem to be telling lies, so Pang Qian had to hang up the phone.

She returned to her desk, turned on her computer, went to Sina blog, and found Mr. Ostrich's blog page. The last time he updated his blog was two years ago. It seemed that he had not used this blog for a long time.

His blog content is almost all comics, a very casual graffiti, and a few interesting words, can receive countless comments.

The night before, Pang Qian spent almost all night. She read every Mr. Ostrich's blog, but did not find any private information about him. But who would know his style better than Pang Qian?

This is her Gu Mingxi, who has been here from 2006 to 2008.

Pang Qian held her chin and stared at the screen in a daze. A cold voice suddenly came from behind: "I don't know that you actually have a childlike heart."

Pang Qian held her forehead, and there was an illustration on the computer screen, and the protagonist was a group of pink pigs. She silently lit the fork and turned to look at Zou Liwen: "Leader, are you asking me for trouble?"

Zou Liwen glanced at her: "Come to my office and there is a new Case to tell you."

In the evening, Pang Qian called Yu Jialei for the first time and said she wanted to treat him to a meal.

The two met in a private restaurant. Yu Jialei was obviously in a good mood. After sitting down, he said, "Little Crab, why is it so good today? I want to treat me to dinner?" He looked at her face and smiled again, "You are very beautiful today, but your expression is too fierce, so it's not good."

Pang Qian stared at Yu Jialei, bit her lips and stuffed her body for a while, and said, "Today Zou Liwen gave me a new Case, which you introduced, right?"

"Yes." Yu Jialei disagreed, "My friend wants to find an investment company to go public. I won't introduce it to you, who will I introduce it to?"

"Yu Jialei, thank you for introducing me to the business, but..." Pang Qian made up her mind to say, "But I told you that I don't like you."

"That's because you don't understand me yet." Yu Jialei helped Pang Qian pour a cup of tea, "Pang Qian, do you think I'm not serious about you?"

"No, I don't mean that." Pang Qian waved her hand, "I know you are serious, so I have never hidden it from you. I said I was looking for someone and I had to find him. Before I found him, I couldn't fall in love."

"Pang Qian, I'm very curious. Is there really such a person?" Yu Jialei held his hands together and placed them on the dining table. His hands were very beautiful, his fingers were slender, his joints were delicate, and his index finger was gently knocking on the table, which made Pang Qian look fascinated.

Yu Jialei is 33 years old, with a master's degree in Turtle and a bank executive. He and Pang Qian met at work. Although he has not been more than half a year, he has pursued her passionately.

Pang Qian did not answer Yu Jialei's question, but just asked back: "Yu Jialei, what do you like me?"

"Hey, do you want to say, what do I like you, you change it?" Yu Jialei laughed, "Pang Qian, I have never been so difficult to chase a girl, especially, I think it is a good marriage partner."

Pang Qian asked again: "I didn't joke with you. I really want to know, what do you like me?"

Yu Jialei seemed to be confused about this question: "You are a girl with good conditions. Isn't it normal for me to like you?"

“Good conditions?”

"Don't you think?" Yu Jialei smiled, "Let's just be more vulgar. Let's list your advantages for you. First of all, your family background, you are a local, your family is harmonious, both parents are healthy, your mother retires from a state-owned enterprise, and your father also has a stable and high-paying job, and you are about to retire, and your pension will be guaranteed in the future. Secondly, your personal qualities are you graduated from a key university, you have a good job, strong ability, and a flexible mind. Also, Zou Liwen told me that you are very diligent. Although you sometimes complain about the intensity of your work, you never reject overtime and will not steal.

Lazy. Then, it is your financial conditions and your annual salary, it is really good... Sorry, Zou Liwen is a brother I have known for more than ten years. This is really not a secret to me. Finally, I have to talk about you, you are twenty-five years old, very young, very beautiful, lively, and very interesting. I always feel very happy with you. You may not know that every time you eat with you, my appetite will be particularly good, because you always enjoy eating. I always feel that girls who love to eat and can maintain a good figure are the ones who enjoy life the most."

Such a long speech made Pang Qian confused. She really didn't know that she had already transformed into a hot commodity in the marriage and love market?

But why did Pang Qian feel a sense of sorrow when she heard Yu Jialei's praise? She was silent for a few minutes and finally answered Yu Jialei's previous question.

"Yu Jialei, I didn't lie to you. I'm really looking for someone. This person really exists. It's not my excuse. I didn't treat you perfunctorily."

Yu Jialei looked at her silently, Pang Qian smiled at him and said, "Do you want to listen to my story with him?"

Yu Jialei's eyes were a little deeper, and after a while, he said, "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."

"Where should I start?" Pang Qian lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "Just say what you praised me just now. Yu Jialei, do you think I have many advantages now, right?"

"right."

"Then I tell you, it's that person, it's him, who turned me into this."

Pang Qian originally wanted to tell Yu Jialei a heart-wrenching and thrilling love story, but after she really spoke, she realized that all the things that were engraved in her mind were just fragmented and trivial matters.

It has nothing to do with love.

Pang Qian didn't know how to describe his and Gu Mingxi's growth experience to Yu Jialei. They were just two very ordinary children in this city and had never encountered any major events. Even if Gu Mingxi was disabled, in Pang Qian's memory, he was a boy who was no different from others.

She could not tell Yu Jialei about her feelings when she and Gu Mingxi carried their big schoolbags and squeezed into and out of school every day. She always put them on the boy's chest, hugging his waist in an ambiguous way. The smell was mixed in the carriage, but she could still smell the special breath on him and hear the powerful heartbeat in his chest. Most of the time he turned his head and looked out the car window quietly.

She couldn't tell Yu Jialei about the joy of eating snacks with Gu Mingxi in the small park. Fried rice cakes worth 50 cents, shredded radish cakes worth 80 cents, grilled sausages worth 10 cents, fried stinky tofu for one dollar, and strawberry cone worth 2 dollar... Now Pang Qian costs dozens of yuan for any work lunch, and she doesn't even blink her eyes when she goes to a high-end restaurant. The same is true for Yu Jialei. Why did she tell him this?

She couldn't tell Yu Jialei how many years she and Gu Mingxi had worked together for many years, and how many years she had worked at his homework. For those countless days and nights, she was sometimes well-behaved, sometimes sitting next to the boy, bent down, watching him hold a pen with his right foot, and carefully and patiently calculate and explain for her on the draft paper.

Maybe even Gu Mingxi herself didn't know that Pang Qian would sometimes wander around thinking. She would quietly look at his beautiful side face and count his long eyelashes. When she was a child, his voice was crisp and pleasant. When she grew up, his voice was calm and clean. Pang Qian remembered his voice deeply. In her dream, she would hear him smiling and calling her: "Ah, Pang Pang, it's you."

She clearly remembered that year when she cried with joy when she called him.

During the summer vacation that year, after Gu Mingxi followed Li Han to City Z, Pang Qian cried and asked her father to ask Gu Guoxiang to find Li Han’s mother’s family. However, because Pang Shuisheng and his family did not go to drink Gu Guoxiang’s wedding banquet, Gu Guoxiang was much colder to them and went back directly.

Pang Qian had no choice but to go to the Internet cafe. She didn't know what she was going to do. She just turned on QQ and stared at the gray mouse's avatar in a daze. She kept leaving messages to him and spoke in a long paragraph, but "Mr. Ostrich" was silent and never replied to a few words.

No one knew Gu Mingxi's contact information, and even Shark transferred to the barbecue restaurant and went to Shanghai to do business with his friends. Pang Qian just got Shark's mobile phone number and returned home in a bad mood.

The turning point happened on Pang Qian's 18th birthday. When she went downstairs to get the newspaper, she found a post office notice to collect the package in her mailbox.

Pang Qian was holding this small piece of white paper, her heart was beating in chaos. She immediately rode her bicycle to the post office and received the small package. She unpacked the package on the spot and was surprised to find that it was a Motorola mobile phone packaging box. When she opened the box, there was a new mobile phone inside.

Pang Qian picked up a small greeting card next to her phone and looked at the simple words on it: Pang Pang, happy birthday.

In addition, there is a mobile phone number with a starting point of 139.

Pang Qian could not describe her mood at that time, so she rushed out of the door with the box in her arms. She found a public telephone from the convenience store and dialed the phone number. The waiting voice seemed to have been ringing for a century. With a "click", the phone was connected. The young man on the other end had a very nice voice and asked: "Hey, who is you?"

The moment he heard his voice, Pang Qian's tears fell, her fingers tightly pinched the microphone, and she called him, "Gu Mingxi."

He was silent for a few seconds, then he started to laugh. Listening to his laughter, Pang Qian could imagine his smiling appearance, and he said in her ear: "Ah, Pang Pang, it's you."

At this time, there were only a dozen days left after school. Pang Qian was in a mess and had a lot of words to ask Gu Mingxi. She suddenly asked him about it. She simply asked him: "Why don't you call me? It's been more than a month! Why are you like this? You go to City Z! Why don't you tell me?!"

Gu Mingxi didn't say anything. Pang Qian's voice was filled with a strong nasal voice. Her tone slowed down and she asked with a sob: "Gu Mingxi, are you doing well now?"

"I'm fine, Pangpang, don't worry." He said calmly, "I'm very busy during this period. My mother and I just settled down. Before, we lived in my grandmother's house. There were no extra rooms in my grandmother's house, so my mother and I could only work on the floor. So, we were outside during the day and wanted to settle down as soon as possible."

"Are you buying a house there?" Pang Qian felt that her heart was broken. Is Gu Mingxi really going to settle down in City Z? Will he not come back in the next winter and summer vacations?

He replied: "Well, I bought a two-bedroom apartment, more than 70 square meters, and I will need to decorate it next. I guess it won't be able to live in until the end of the year."

Pang Qian asked: "Are you used to staying there?"

"It's okay, it's much cooler here than in City E."

“Will it be very cold in winter?”

"That's for sure, but there is heating in the house, so it won't be cold." Gu Mingxi said, pausing again, "Did you receive your cell phone? This is my 18th birthday gift. I'm sorry, I can't celebrate your birthday with you this year. Pangpang, happy birthday."

"Thank you, I didn't say happy birthday to you," said Pang Qian. "Gu Mingxi, I bought you a gift, but I can't contact you. Can you give me an address? I'll send it to you."

He thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it then. My mother and I have rented a house next to the school. It's very simple and there is no mailbox. I'm afraid I'll send it to you."

Pang Qian asked: "You can't live in the dormitory after school starts?"

"Well, it's so troublesome to live in the dormitory."

The two of them fell silent together. After a while, Gu Mingxi said slowly: "Pangpang, Shanghai is a big city. If you go there alone, you must learn to take care of yourself."

Pang Qian cried again, pouted and said, "Who told you not to keep your word! Even if you don't want you to go to wealth, I don't believe that other schools in Shanghai will want you! There are so many key universities in Shanghai, and you have more than 130 points higher than the first-tier university. Which one will not be able to get the exam!"

Gu Mingxi sighed and said, "What are you talking about now? Pangpang, don't cry."

Pang Qian asked: "Will you come back for the New Year next year?"

"It shouldn't be back."

"Oh." Pang Qian suddenly wiped her tears and said, "Gu Mingxi, next summer vacation, I'll go and play with you, okay?"

He was surprised: "Ah?"

"Anyway, you have bought a house there, and I have a place to live in." Pang Qian said, "You said that the summer in Z City is very cool, so I will go there for a few days to escape the summer heat. You have to be the host to accompany me to go out for fun."

Gu Mingxi was helpless: "City Z is not a tourist city."

"No matter what, I just want to see you." Pang Qian shouted, "Gu Mingxi, I have never seen you for so long! It's a year! I must go to see you!"

Gu Mingxi was silent again. Finally, he said, "Pangpang, if you still want to see me next spring, I welcome you to have a summer vacation. However, I hope you can know that some things have passed, and some people will only accompany you at a certain stage of your life, such as Wang Tingting in elementary school, Sun Mingfang in junior high school, and even Zheng Qiaoqiao in high school. You were very good at that time, but later, because you went to different schools and went to different cities, you will always be alienated from each other. You have been moving forward and entered Shangcai. You will recognize new friends and know some boys."

There was a warm smile in his voice, "Pangpang, you are in college, and it is no longer a rare thing to fall in love. If you have a boy you like in your heart, you can try to develop with the other person. Maybe in a few months, you will have a boyfriend and you won't want to see me so much."

What he said was so strange. Pang Qian was very depressed when she heard it. Her mouth was faster than her head. She blurted out: "I don't know! Gu Mingxi, if you fall in love with another girl, you have to tell me!"

Gu Mingxi: "..."

Pang Qian blushed, and Gu Mingxi said, "Okay, I've been talking for a long time, so I'll have to quit. Pang Pang, you go to Shanghai to apply for a mobile phone number after school starts and send me the number."

"oh."

"Then I'll die, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Pang Qian hung up the phone reluctantly, her eyes still red. A long-distance call cost more than ten yuan, but Pang Qian didn't feel distressed at all.

Because she finally found Gu Mingxi.

At the end of August 2003, Pang Qian went to Shanghai to report. Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua accompanied her. The train with K-shaped characters arrived in Shanghai in two and a half hours. They took the bus sent by the school and were taken to the school.

When Pang Qian saw the first look at the school gate, she felt a little disappointed. Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is so famous that the school gate is not magnificent at all.

Pang Qian walked on the campus with her suitcase. The school is located in the city and is not large in area. The school is green with grass and swaying shadows. The buildings you see along the way are full of era marks and have a flavor of a small Shanghai building.

Pang Qian and her parents were busy for a day and completed various admission procedures. Before returning to the dormitory, she insisted on going to the mobile business hall and getting a SIM card.

She stuffed the card into the silver Motorola phone, turned on it, and jumped to the screen. She hung up the phone immediately, and she wanted to tell him that this was her number in Shanghai.

But he turned off the phone.

In the distant city of Z, Gu Mingxi was busy with the decoration of new houses with his mother. They were running in the building materials market and furniture market. Li Han wanted to get the hard decoration of the new houses before Gu Mingxi started school.
