55. Insomnia
Gu Quan hasn't had this feeling of welcoming a new life for a long time, the last time was when he moved a few years ago, and his job has been very stable since then, and his life is dull.
Gu Quan packed all her things into the new room, cleaned the whole apartment again, and stretched on the balcony, just when it was getting dark, she sent a message to Zhong Hyuk and asked him if he would come back to eat.
Zhong Hyuk replied to her: "I have to work overtime tonight, you can just eat yours." β
Gu Quan exhaled, sat on the rattan chair on the balcony, and watched the lights outside gradually brighten up.
She has already negotiated the person in charge of channel promotion of a company, in layman's terms, that is, she has become Party A from Party B, but it will be easier than when she was Party B, next week, Gu Quan wants to go to work quickly, she has rested for too long, and only then did she realize that work makes people busy, so she will not think about some emotional sadness.
This apartment is rented for an annual year, two bedrooms and one living room, Gu Quan and Zhong He have one room, just like roommates, Zhong He confiscated the rent transferred by Gu Quan, he said: "I took the initiative to come to Beicheng, and you and I live together, it is originally the stage of getting along, and this stage is consuming your time, so I can't let you pay anymore." β
Zhong Hyuk insisted on this theory, and Gu Quan had no choice but to give up.
Gu Quan said: "Equality between men and women is not only consuming my time, but also consuming your time and energy, if the rent is not let me pay, then I will be responsible for the water, electricity and food costs at home, otherwise I will be embarrassed to continue to live." β
Gu Quan has always liked to be clear and will not owe anything to others.
Zhong Hyuk thought about it and agreed, and he also admired Gu Quan's character very much.
.
The relationship between the two is also harmonious and friendly, and it can even be said that they are like-minded and heart-to-heart, but it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it is purely a close friend.
In the summer in Beicheng, I don't feel any heat, Gu Quan and Zhong He are very busy, they both work in the cubicle, blowing the air conditioner from morning to night, and it is still a good thing to sweat a little.
It's the end of summer, and when he finally got free, Zhong He fried a big pot of crayfish and a bowl of snails, Gu Quan ate the snail meat with a toothpick, and said with a smile: "Classmate Zhong's supper tonight, you can sell it for two or three hundred outside." β
Zhong Hyuk smiled: "What? You started planning to open a store in the night market?"
Gu Quan said: "Isn't that also good? You are in charge of the spoon, Ping, we are near the Normal University, with your beauty, it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of female guests......"
Jonghyuk bent his eyes and smiled.
In the second half of the meal, the two were just drinking beer, Gu Quan's hair was pulled up casually, wearing a white suspender, very lazy and casual, she and Zhong He were already very familiar roommates, and there was nothing decent to speak of.
The two began to talk about marriage, and Zhong Hyuk said: "Eleven is the best, relatives and friends are free." β
Gu Quan nodded.
"I have a house in Jiangshi, the mortgage has been paid off, if you think it is a good thing to settle in Beicheng by then, then we will buy another set in Beicheng, this will depend on your wishes......" Zhong Hyuk is not drunk, he drinks very well, beer is nothing at all, and he still speaks in a clear manner.
Gu Quan nodded, she knew in her heart that when the time came, she and Zhong He would find a lawyer to clearly divide these prenuptial agreements and prenuptial property to prevent any quarrels in the future.
Zhong Hyuk is not such a person, and neither is Gu Quan, but the two of them will still be able to distinguish what is more important, and the procedures that should be taken should not be missed.
Then he talked about the issue of having children, if this could not be discussed, Gu Quan and Zhong He would not go to the next step.
Gu Quan smiled: "Personally, I don't have a strong desire for children, if you can accept Dink, I prefer Dink." β
Jonghyuk pondered for a moment and said, "In the past five years, I have no idea of having children. β
"What about five years from now?"
"Maybe we'll all change our minds. β
Gu Quan asked, "You say, why do we want to discuss marriage together? Since it's not for the sake of the children." β
Jonghyuk smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think we are very suitable, so we both think that if we meet such a suitable person and don't get married, we really won't get married again in the future, we are both thirty years old, do we still have the luxury of meeting love? β
Zhong Hyuk took a sip of cold beer and nodded noncommittally, "Yes, you're right. β
Gu Quan put his hot face on the beer can, felt the cold touch, closed his eyes slightly, laughed, and said, "Zhong He, if we both want to have children, I still can't imagine what we will look like/sex, I always feel very strange." β
Zhong Hyuk said in a deep voice: "In this regard, I respect you. β
"You haven't had a girlfriend all these years, do you have a bed partner?
"Fix it yourself. Zhong Hyuk sneered, looking at Gu Quan's eyes bottomlessly, he said, "At my age, it is no longer the first need to solve desires/desires, the process of experience and the partner are the most important." β
"The other party has to be someone you like?"
"Yes, people seem to be more and more unable to let go, when they were young, they pursued excitement and did things without thinking about the consequences, but now they have their own set of guidelines and will not easily deviate. β
Gu Quan thought for a while and said, "So in your eyes, at my age, I still have a scene with Yuan Ye, isn't it particularly ridiculous?"
Zhong Hyuk shook his head, "No, everyone's growth trajectory is different, this is a necessary experience for you, but it didn't happen in your early twenties, and it was inevitable that it happened at the end of your twenties." β
Gu Quan laughed innocently, "I really like to listen to you speak, it's like a class, every time you finish speaking, I feel that all my decisions are correct." β
Zhong He raised the jar and clinked glasses with Gu Quan, "It's probably a bystander." β
Later, Gu Quan and Zhong He didn't say a word, they just sat there and rode the cool breeze, Gu Quan fell asleep unconsciously, and Zhong He carried her into the room.
He stood aside and looked at Gu Quan's sleeping face, his face was flushed and his face was delicate, which made him think of the little girl in his mind, and he felt a little irrepressible sadness.
.
The two of them plan to prepare for the wedding, in fact, it is very fast, the two parents meet, engagement, Zhong He's parents are based in Jiang City, and the Zhong family's wedding room is also there, it is also convenient for many relatives and friends to go to Jiang City, Zhong He and Gu Quan are trouble-free, Zhong Mu said: "Wine banquet, invitations or something, I and your father will take care of it, you can just come back and get married on eleven." β
The Zhong family's family background is considered a petty bourgeoisie, and there is only one Zhong He in the family, for Gu Quan, who is twenty-nine years old, the family is reliable, and Gu Quan and Zhong He are still high school classmates, and they think it is more appropriate, Zhong Jiali is thoughtful, and will not treat the woman harshly, and Gu Quan and Zhong He are both in Beicheng, not living with their in-laws, this family business is praised by the Gu family, and they all say that Gu Quan is single to this age, it turns out that he has picked a top one, and the family is really matched.
Hua Luoluo was half angry at home, cursing Gu Quan's discordant life after marriage.
But after finalizing the marriage, Zhong He and Gu Quan were like outsiders, both of them were a little distracted, one day in the middle of the night they couldn't sleep, Gu Quan wanted to go to the balcony to blow the wind, just saw Zhong He standing on the balcony smoking, Gu Quan stepped forward and asked him for one: "Give me a cigarette." β
Zhong Hyuk handed it to her: "You can smoke?"
"No, it won't. β
She put on a cigarette, Zhong Hyuk lit her with a lighter, and instructed her in a low voice: "Take a deep breath, do you feel the smoke?"
Gu Quan did so, took a deep breath, only to feel that a pile of haze seemed to enter his mouth, especially choking, Zhong He said again: "Spit it out slowly." β
Before she could vomit, other people's smoke and smoke became a fire scene in her place, a pile of smoke.
"Ahem, cough, ahemβ" Gu Quan felt that his throat was particularly uncomfortable, and he kept coughing.
Zhong Hyuk took her cigarette, then smoked it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's not good to learn this, it's not good for the lungs." β
Gu Quan snatched the remaining half of the cigarette, with a forced insistence on his face, "No, I have to learn." β
She just thought of Yuan Ye, when Yuan Ye was standing on the balcony smoking, was he thinking about that girl every time he smoked, and then he stopped smoking in front of her, Gu Quan thought to himself, he was really good at making people happy, Gu Quan originally thought that it was Yuan Ye's change to her, but it turned out that it wasn't, it was because the girl returned to Haicheng and lived with him, so he stopped smoking.
The feeling of smoking and spitting out the fog was very pleasant, as if he had spit out all the depression in his heart, and Gu Quan began to feel that the smell of smoke didn't seem to be so choking.
.
Gu Anning studied in Beicheng, although he lived in the school, but since Gu Quan moved to Beicheng, he would often come to Gu Quan to go shopping and buy clothes together, and he had seen Zhong He many times, and he was called "brother-in-law" when he met.
Gu Anning was very satisfied with this brother-in-law, and felt that Gu Quan had picked the right person, "Brother-in-law is really super good, didn't I ask you for a birthday gift last time when I went shopping with you?" I said I wanted that pair of couple shoes, and then my brother-in-law ordered a pair for me." β
The pair of couple shoes was newly listed, more than two thousand, Gu Quan felt that it was a little expensive, and rejected Gu Anning at that time, warning her not to spend money on Qin Li again.
Gu Anning said with a smile: "Sister, Qin Li is very good to me now, and he has recognized me as his girlfriend." β
Gu Quan sneered, and after going back, he told Zhong He not to buy a gift for Gu Anning.
Zhong Hyuk smiled: "I saw that she really wanted those two pairs of shoes, so I bought them for her, anyway, I am a brother-in-law, and I still have to satisfy my heart to buy her a birthday gift." β
Gu Quan told Zhong He that the boy Gu Anning liked was not a good person, so he couldn't get used to Gu Anning.
After hearing this, Zhong Hyuk frowned, and had to come down and say yes.
He didn't say it, because Gu Anning looked at the pair of couple shoes, his eyes were shining, and it was the eyes that a little girl would have if she liked a boy wholeheartedly, this kind of intention was too rare, and Zhong He wanted to satisfy her.

Gu Quan had insomnia for a long time the night before the wedding, she returned to Ai County, stayed at home, and prepared to pick her up from Zhong He's wedding car early tomorrow morning to take her to Jiang City.
She suddenly ran out in the middle of the night, went to the hamburger milk tea shop in the shopping mall in Ai County, ordered a fries and a cup of milk tea, and sat there alone to eat, she remembered that she decided to make an online appointment after eleven last year, and then met Yuan Ye, how did she not expect that a year later, she was actually going to get married, and the marriage partner turned out to be Zhong He.
She sat in the seat on Chinese New Year's Eve, as if Yuan Ye would suddenly appear in the next second, and did not shy away from snatching her milk tea to take a sip, and said with a faint smile: "This milk tea is mixed with a lot of water." β
Gu Quan kept thinking about the day she and Yuan Ye parted completely, Yuan Ye said that if she got married, he would come to smash the scene.
Gu Quan was very shameful, and he still had some expectations.
Will it be like in the movie, Yuan Ye stepped forward to hold her in a wedding dress, the balloons were scattered above the auditorium, the bouquet fell on the carpet at will, Yuan Ye pulled her to flee the wedding scene, and a group of people were stunned and did not react.
But Yuan Ye didn't know where and when she got married, how could she come over?
It's been a few months, and I don't know if Yuan Ye has forgotten her.
In the middle of the night, emotions tend to occupy the brain, overpowering ordinary reason, so the night is the best time for people to debauchery.
Gu Quan borrowed a mobile phone from the waiter, entered the eleven digits that she memorized so well before deleting the number, dialed it, and beeped twice, Yuan Ye couldn't sleep at this point.
The call went through.
Yuan Ye's indifferent and hoarse voice seemed to have broken Gu Quan's calm these days, causing ripples on the water.
"Gu Quan, is that you?"
Gu Quan held his mobile phone and didn't dare to say anything.
But her rapid breathing had already revealed her identity, in fact, when the strange phone call was made to him, he saw the location of the mobile phone number, and guessed whether it would be Gu Quan.
"I know it's you, speak. He commanded, but then realized that he could not be dissuaded by such an attitude, and his tone softened again, "Is it okay for you to say two words?"
As soon as Gu Quan spoke, she noticed that her throat was a little hoarse, she blinked, and tried to restrain her tone without waves: "I...... Get married tomorrow. β
Yuan Ye's breath stagnated, and he realized that Gu Quan said that she was going to get married, and he really didn't say it casually, during this period, they had already completed meeting their parents, preparing for the wedding banquet, and obtaining the certificate, and they were about to really stand at the wedding banquet and swear their marriage.
"It's too late to regret now, Gu Quan, you wait for me, I'll go to you tomorrow, I'll take you away, you're going to get married, aren't you? I'll bring my household registration book and ID card, and we'll go get the certificateββ"
His eager and pleading words made Gu Quan's heart flustered, and she quickly hung up the phone.
Gu Quan returned the phone to the waiter on the side, and the waiter took the phone and said, "Little sister, this call should be made to you?"
She glanced at the number to Gu Quan, and Gu Quan hardened his heart and said, "You don't need to pick up, you can just pull it to the blacklist." β
She paid, got up and left.

In the brightly lit double-storey apartment, Yuan Fu was dressed in white silk pajamas, standing at the stairs, listening coldly to Yuan Ye after making a phone call, and pacing in place and making phone calls non-stop, Yuan Ye she knew had always been calm and calm, not surprised, never so anxious, he bit his lip, twisted his eyebrows, and when no one answered after making more than a dozen phone calls, he irritably smashed the blue and white porcelain used for decoration on the cabinet on the side, smashed it on the ground, and broke it into many pieces.
"That blue and white porcelain, I bought it back. Yuan Fu said sadly.
"I'll go back and buy you a new one. He said coldly.
Yuan Ye didn't look at her, looking for his car keys, he was so anxious that he couldn't calm down and think about where he put the keys in his hand.
Yuan Ye picked up a windbreaker jacket and found the key, and his tall and thin back was about to disappear in front of Yuan Fu.
Yuan Fu shouted to him: "Are you going to find Miss Gu? Robbery? What age is this, you still want to rob marriage? Brother, don't you think you are as a failure like me? Hahahaha, you have to rely on robbery." β
Yuan Ye ignored her, put on his shoes and opened the door, and Yuan Fu said again: "Has my brother watched "Gone Girl"?"
He was answered by the cold mechanical sound of the door closing, leaving her alone in the apartment.
In the past few months, Yuan Fu has deeply understood that his brother is no longer the brother who can't get into his heart, he has a person in his heart, that is, the woman who came to the house that day, Yuan Fu feels that she is better looking than her and sexier than her, but she knows that you can't compare to a person, nothing else.
Obviously, it was her brother who knew her first, and her brother used to take good care of her, but since she answered the phone that day and didn't tell Yuan Ye in time, Yuan Ye was extremely cold to him, and he didn't even want to look at her twice, only treating her as air.
During the May Day holiday, Yuan Ye forced her to go back to Nancheng and go on a blind date with the eldest young master who had just returned to China, but Yuan Fu told Fu that she actually had someone she liked, that is, her brother, and said that the blind date was just an expression of contact, for the sake of her father's business.
Fu is a very well-cultivated person, he didn't say anything, he just left, but after that, the entire Nancheng circle knew that the two brothers and sisters of the Yuan family did not do anything, even if they were not related by blood, this was enough for outsiders to criticize.
Yuan Peiqing slapped Yuan Fu's two ear scrapers fiercely, and angrily scolded Yuan Ye to get out of Yuan's house, Yuan Ye's eyes were still so cold and arrogant, and he didn't protect Yuan Fu, so he went back to Haicheng directly, and Yuan Fu followed Yuan Ye back to Haicheng even more unscrupulously.
Yuan Ye drove her back, but she couldn't drive her away, Yuan Fu said: "My sister is not married, isn't it normal to live in my brother's house? Why? Didn't you always say that you were my brother before, but now I don't even want to take on the responsibility of my brother?"
Yuan Ye's jaw bone was tight, Yuan Fu could see that there were green tendons twitching on his forehead, and it seemed that he was really angry, but she was not afraid, but raised her beautiful face and said, "What? Do you want to beat me like my father? Come on, I'll beat you." β
Yuan Ye didn't say a word, turned around and left.
β¦β¦
- Has my brother watched "Gone Girl"?
When Yuan Ye drove to the Haicheng service area, Yuan Fu's words before leaving suddenly came to mind before leaving.
He had a quick mind and quickly realized that something was wrong.
He parked the car in the service area, opened the window, was distraught, smoked a cigarette, and the mobile phone showed that the time was half past three in the morning, he thought, at this speed, he could reach Jiang City in the morning, if the bride had just entered the wedding room and had not had time to go to the wedding banquet, Yuan Ye could directly snatch her.
He used his mobile phone to search for "Disappearing Lover" on Zhihu and Douban, and when he finished reading the general explanation, Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly became sharp and deep, and he quickly called Yuan Fu.
