Chapter 40: The Old Man Dies
The first light of the morning shone in through the window, and Shen Peining was stabbed in the eye, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"I woke up so soon, and it seems that there was room for last night. A man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and in that faint tone, there seemed to be a hint of laziness.
Hearing him say this, Shen Peining's mind suddenly flashed through all the things of last night. Then, he glanced at Gu Zeyan with some disgust, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this." ”
Now her whole body is like a bone that has been dismantled alive, and her whole body is sore.
However, Gu Zeyan was in a good mood when he heard this.
Shen Peining was a little unnatural by him for a while, and after trying to move twice, he wanted to turn over and get out of bed.
Before his foot touched his shoes, he was dragged back by a force.
This time, when Shen Peining opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside, and she didn't wake up by herself, but was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone.
I thought that something was wrong with the Shen family, but when Shen Peining hurriedly got up to fumble for the phone, he found that it was not his own.
And looking at the mobile phone that kept flashing brightly, she was a little hesitant. After all, this is Gu Zeyan's mobile phone, and it is obviously not good to pick it up rashly.
But Gu Zeyan was obviously a little tired, and even when he heard the phone ringing, he only frowned slightly.
I have to say that after falling asleep, Gu Zeyan's overall facial contour is a little less sharp than usual, and more soft. However, Shen Peining looked at his sleeping face, but his heart ached for no reason.
After a while, I saw that the call still didn't stop, as if it didn't stop until it was answered. She sighed, and finally picked up the phone for Gu Zeyan.
As soon as he put the phone close to his ear, he heard a woman's voice on the other end, and her voice was low and hoarse, sounding a little depressed: "Is it Zeyan?"
"It's not. He can't answer some things for the time being, may I ask you for something about him?" Shen Peining thought for a while, and said in the most appropriate tone.
There was silence for a long time before he continued: "I'm his aunt Gu Zhaoying, and I really called him this time to tell him something." But since Zeyan is not here, please tell him. ”
"Well, not long ago, my brother ...... That is, Zeyan's father, passed away. ”
Shen Peining never expected to hear such news, he was a little stunned for a while, and then subconsciously looked at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
She didn't know what to say to express her feelings. But fortunately, Gu Zhaoying didn't say anything more, only asked her to tell Gu Zeyan to go back if she could, and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Looking at the latter, he should be in a hurry to deal with the funeral on the Gu family's side. However, after Shen Peining hung up the phone, his eyes looked at Gu Zeyan a little complicated.
And her originally chaotic thoughts were also completely sobered up. After standing at the head of the bed for a while, I noticed that my throat and eyes were a little astringent, so I wanted to pour a glass of water.
Shen Peining was a little absent-minded, and accidentally touched the bedside table, making an abrupt sound, which made Gu Zeyan, who was originally asleep, slowly open his eyes.
Glancing at the figure standing beside him, he tugged at the corners of his mouth and got up from the bed.
However, seeing him put on his shirt neatly and skillfully, and buttoned the top buttons one by one, Shen Peining was a little afraid to look at him directly.
It's as if she's done something wrong.
Gu Zeyan, who was wearing a base shirt, turned around and happened to catch the flash of confusion and dodging in Shen Peining's eyes. But he didn't ask anything for the time being, but his eyes darkened.
It wasn't until he went downstairs to eat that he saw Shen Peining relax a little, and Gu Zeyan said as if he was careless: "You looked like you were worried just now, didn't you do something wrong?"
Shen Peining originally wanted to find a suitable time to tell him about this matter again, but when he suddenly asked, the whole person suddenly became a little nervous.
But when she looked directly at Gu Zeyan's eyes that seemed to be bottomless, she suddenly seemed to be a little deflated.
Then Shen Peining straightened his waist slightly, and asked in the calmest tone possible: "Do you usually ...... How is the relationship with the family? ”
Gu Zeyan obviously didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, but she was only stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and then replied without hearing any ups and downs: "It's nothing." ”
Hearing this, Shen Peining fell silent.
In fact, there are not a few people in the upper class who she has come into contact with these days, but most of them are juniors like them, and their relationship with their families is not very good.
The reasons for this are different, but the reason is the same.
However, Shen Peining felt that Gu Zeyan was not as cold and hard as he seemed on the surface, and he should care about his family somewhat.
And it is precisely because of this that she has been so hesitant.
Seeing that Shen Peining suddenly didn't answer, Gu Zeyan's eyes darkened a little, and then asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Just now your aunt called, and I answered when I saw that you didn't wake up, but she said that your father ...... He passed away not long ago. ”
When he said this, Shen Peining had been observing the changes in Gu Zeyan's face, for fear of missing any details.
But unexpectedly, the man didn't react when he heard the words, as if he heard the weather broadcast every day, and he still looked bleak.
Such a cold and hard silhouette, such an indifferent expression...... For some reason, Shen Peining's heart felt as if he was being held tightly by something, and even his breathing seemed to stagnate.
What kind of things have you experienced to form the person who has heard of the death of your dearest person now, and her face will not change?
While Shen Peining was thinking so, he couldn't help but slowly walked up to Gu Zeyan, stretched out his hand to hold his face, looked directly at those unwavering eyes and said, "It's okay, if you're sad, don't force it...... It doesn't matter. ”
was obviously comforting Gu Zeyan, but Shen Peining himself was talking, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
In order not to let this inexplicable emotion affect Gu Zeyan, she had to lower her head and kiss it gently.
And in the process of kissing mixed with tears, Gu Zeyan seemed to have noticed something, touched Shen Peining's hair and gently soothed her, and at the same time the powerful arm that circled her also tightened by two points.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Shen Peining always feels like it's a little familiar, as if it's ...... Where has ever been the same.
She thought about it carefully, but her heart suddenly cooled.
The same people, the same scenes, and very different experiences, she has indeed experienced them. But at that time, it was when Gu Zeyan was asleep.
still remembers that she also hugged him like this that night to comfort him, but after Gu Zeyan fell asleep, she called another woman's name.
Maybe it's out of a woman's sixth sense, or maybe it's Shen Peining's subconscious...... When she heard the name from Gu Zeyan's mouth, although she didn't hear it very clearly, she could feel Gu Zeyan's affection for the person he shouted in his mouth.
And Shen Peining came back to his senses and looked at Gu Zeyan, when he looked at Gu Zeyan, his throat was like he was stuck by something, and he was not up or down in one breath, which was extremely uncomfortable.
It's just that she didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just smiled self-deprecatingly.
