Chapter 33: Old Classmate

However, she couldn''t lift her head before him, and Gu Xiang lacked the courage to look straight into his eyes or meet his gaze.

但是在他面前她的头却始终抬不起来，顾湘始终没有勇气去直视他，直视着他盯着她的目光。

He didn''t recognize me either. Indeed, we have changed a lot after so many years, and we will never be what we used to be. Gu Xiang thought to herself.

他也没有认出我了，果然这么多年，不管是他还是我，在记忆中从前的自己都已经有了很大的变化，我们再也不再是当初的自己了。顾湘暗暗地想着。

"If you can''t remember, then forget it." Gu Xiang turned to leave, leaving behind these words as a way of saving face for herself.

“既然记不得了那就算了。”顾湘掉头离开留下话来，算是自己给自己找了一个台阶下。

She truly didn''t want him to know who she was, especially since he couldn''t recognize her. Why should she humiliate herself and try to approach him?

她真不想让他知道她是谁，既然他已经记不出她来也认不出她来，那又何必自惭形秽去相认，去攀高枝呢？

Why bother? It would be better for her to return to her little house and tend to her own healing.

何必呢？还是赶紧回去那个小屋里面自我疗伤吧。

Seeing her walk away, he quickly chased after her. He jogged around her and looked around. His parents watched and laughed. Gu Xiang could no longer bear the atmosphere and blurted out, "I am Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang!"

他见她走开，连忙跑着追来，小跑着围着顾湘转着圈儿，左看右看。他的父母在那里笑着看着，顾湘实在是受不了这种氛围了说到：“我是顾湘，顾湘呀！”

After saying that, she immediately started running toward the place she lived.

说完马上拔腿就跑，往她现在住的路上走去。

He understood where Gu Xiang was heading, as this was his hometown, and he was more familiar with it than her.

他也明白了顾湘的去向，这里是他的家乡，他比顾湘更熟。

Just like that, they ran side by side and passed through an intersection. Gu Xiang turned inward while he turned outward. After Gu Xiang ran into the grassland, she discovered that he had emerged from another intersection. It turned out that Gu Xiang''s path was not the only one. There was another route that was more efficient and required less effort.

他们就这样基本是并排着跑着，经过一路岔口。顾湘往里边，他往外边，然后顾湘跑进草原后发现他从另外一个路口转了过来，原来顾湘进来的路不是唯一的，还有另外一条路，想来他走的那条路才是最省时省力的。
