Lu Lici rushed forward and punched Zhou Qingyan in the face. Zhou Qingyan didn't even move, still holding his slippers in a daze.
"What are you pretending to be, Zhou Qingyan! If it weren't for you, Gu Jiaojiao would not have died!!"
Lu Lici roared and punched Zhou Qingyan's face one after another.
It wasn't until Zhou Qingyan felt blood flowing from his nose that he raised his dark eyes and said sarcastically: "Blame me? Lu Lici, do you think you are good? You are also the murderer of Gu Jiaojiao! And... There is your brother! Your brother is the culprit!"
Zhou Qingyan laughed like crazy. His calmness and self-control had long since disappeared, and all his dark sides were magnified again and again because of Gu Jiaojiao.
Lu Lici collapsed and punched him again. He knew he was at fault!
Lu Lisheng came over to pull Lu Lici, but he pushed him away with one hand. Lu Lici looked at Lu Lisheng with eyes full of hatred.
Lu Lisheng lowered his eyes bitterly and slapped himself hard.
Gu Xiwen watched everything in front of him like a farce, and suddenly felt that fate had played a joke on them.
His voice was erratic: "It's better to bring Jiaojiao back first. She won't be able to bear the cold in the sea."
All the people's movements were paused, and they looked towards the depths of the sea.
When Gu Jiaojiao's body was recovered, it was already the next morning.
Her body had become stiff and cold, and her skin was very white with blisters.
The five people looked at Gu Jiaojiao, but no one spoke.
When it came to what to do with Gu Jiaojiao's body, Lu Lici and Zhou Qingyan fought again. Finally, Gu Xiwen suggested: "Bury her on a mountain where you can see the sea. Jiaojiao has been trapped in this world all her life." At home, I think I also yearn for the mountains and the sea."
Shen Jin also found a suitable place for Gu Jiaojiao. After cremation, she will always stay in this place where she can see the sea at a glance.
………
Lu Lici called the police at that time, so Zhou Qingyan was arrested as soon as he returned home.
Zhou Qingyan did not resist at all and refused to hire a lawyer. The Zhou family tried to find connections for him but he had already confessed.
The youngest professor at the university was imprisoned, and the news caused a stir on the Internet.
Various unpleasant labels such as "beast", "genteel scum", "human like a dog", etc. were placed on Zhou Qingyan's head. Countless people cursed him and abused him online.
How was Gu Jiaojiao exposed by the Internet at that time? Now Zhou Qingyan's battles are much bigger than that.
Behind this, the other four people contributed a lot.
Zhou Qingyan was sentenced to fifteen years. From the day he was imprisoned, he began to have a dream every day.
In the dream, Gu Jiaojiao was standing in the sea. She said to him: "Mr. Zhou, we will never see each other again."
Then she was gradually submerged by the sea water.
Zhou Qingyan began to resist falling asleep, but strangely, his sleeping state was much better than before. Even if he could control not sleeping at night, he would sleep for a while during the day.
As long as he closes his eyes, Gu Jiaojiao will appear and she repeats: "Mr. Zhou, we will never see each other again."
Zhou Qingyan lost weight quickly. The people in the same cell were a group of gangsters. They heard that he was a university professor before, so they began to torture and humiliate him in various ways.
Zhou Qingyan seemed to have lost his soul. He never resisted. The gangsters bullied him a few times and found it boring and ignored him.
In his eighth year in prison, Zhou Qingyan died in a fight when someone tried to snatch the wooden pendant around his neck.
He was accidentally pushed onto a sharp stone and bled to death.
When he died, he was still holding the wooden pendant tightly in his hand.
………
The anniversary of Gu Jiaojiao's death in the first year was also the day before her birthday. Lu Lici personally made a cake for her and prepared a table of food that Gu Jiaojiao liked.
He asked Lu Lisheng to celebrate Gu Jiaojiao's birthday with him.
Lu Lisheng was pushed here in a wheelchair by Secretary An. His legs were paralyzed six months ago when he was hit by a car while trying to save Lu Lici.
The two ate vegetables and cakes in silence, and drank a bottle of wine.
Lu Lici must have been drunk. He smiled stupidly and started talking nonsense: "Brother, Jiaojiao is right, you are really a good brother. But do you know, I designed that car accident, haha. "
"I wanted to die in that car accident, but why did you save me?"
Lu Lisheng was silent. He owed Lu Lici too much.
During this year, Lu Lisheng became more mature and taciturn. After the car accident, he became even more depressed.
"Xiao Ci, you are drunk, go to bed early."
Lu Lici watched with tears in his eyes as Secretary An pushed Lu Lisheng away. When they disappeared, he murmured: "Brother."
Lu Lici drove to Gu Jiaojiao's tombstone. He placed the little daisy under her photo and looked at the smiling face.
Lu Lici's nose was sore and he choked up: "Jiaojiao, I'm here to see you. Today is your birthday. Have you eaten the cake? What flavor did it have?"
"I made strawberry cake for you today, but I'm so stupid. The cake I made was so bitter. Will Jiaojiao laugh at me?"
"Jiaojiao, I want to find you. You said you are afraid of meeting me again, so I can just hide it and just peek at you where you can't see it. Is that okay?"
Lu Lici stood up, took one last look at Gu Jiaojiao, and drove the car to the beach.
From this place, Jiaojiao can see the sea at a glance.
Lu Lici imagined Gu Jiaojiao's mood as she walked down the road, imagining her pace.
He closed his eyes, raised his hand slightly, and walked into the sea step by step as if being held by someone.
seawater in this season.
It's indeed a bit cold.
………
When Lu Lisheng learned about Lu Lici's death, he just froze for a moment and soon regained his composure.
He was already burdened with two lives.
One is the only girl he has ever liked, and the other is his biological brother.
He will live with this guilt and regret for the rest of his life.
………
Gu Xiwen and Shen Jinyi learned that Gu Jiaojiao had written a will before, and if she passed away one day, she would donate her house and all her money to help patients with depression.
So the two sold all their properties and set up a foundation to treat heart disease patients and depression patients.
The two handed the foundation to Lu Lisheng. He didn't ask anything, but in a few years he turned the charity foundation into the most famous charity institution in the country.
Gu Xiwen and Shen Jinyi started traveling around the world with cameras on their backs. They took pictures of all the scenery they passed, and then returned to Gu Jiaojiao's tombstone on her birthday.
Tell her the story of all the photos and then burn them as if they were mailed to her.
The two never married. When they were gray-haired, they came to Interkenla and saw Gu Jiaojiao in the courtyard of a coffee shop decorated with a very warm feel.
Although she has gray hair, time has been particularly kind to her, and there are only traces of happiness on her face.
Beside her, there was an old man who looked at her lovingly.
Gu Xiwen smiled and scolded the little liar. He said to Shen Jinyi: "Look, I just said she is a little liar."
The two did not go over to recognize each other, nor did they bother them.
All the past events are gone with the wind.
