The things were quickly served on the table, and the boss said politely: "You eat first, not enough to add more, if there is anything unappetizing, you must tell us." ”

I nodded politely: "Thank you, boss." ”

Now there is no one, the boss is a warm-hearted person, and while picking up vegetables, he asked me, "I haven't seen you before, you are here for the first time." ”

I poured myself a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "Yes, this is my first time at a friend's house." ”

The boss began to introduce me to their food and good places to visit, this time it was to relax, so I simply listened to the boss to say more, so that I could walk around in the next few days.

Before leaving, the boss gave me a bowl of rice noodles, saying that I wanted to eat it as a supper. Looking at their simple smiling faces, I happily accepted. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to He Mingchuan's house, and I took out a book that I had with me when I left, and wanted to flip through it to pass the time.

I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I find out that what I brought is a copy of "The Ferryman", which should have been told me to read by my father after reading it before, and I have been on the bookshelf since I got it back, and then I turned a few pages in my spare time, and the beginning was very attractive. It's just that I've always been impatient with these things, so I haven't read it anymore, and it's rare to have such a free time, so I flipped through the book and read it.

I was going to go to bed after watching it for about an hour, but I didn't expect to fall asleep while lying on the sofa. When I woke up early in the morning, I found that I had read chapter fifteen," he slowly stepped back, leaned against the wall, and pulled her to his chest. She snuggled into his arms, feeling both shy and reassured. He didn't seem to want to speak, but he was content to have her by his side. Dylan smiled to himself, relaxing himself for the first time in two days. I couldn't help but wonder if Tristan was in love with his ferryman, the brave girl Dylan, but everything that was unknown in the book was what attracted me, and I put the book down and went out to forage for food.

There are a lot of options for breakfast, and I'm used to eating a bun and drinking a glass of soy milk. However, the proprietress of the bun shop strongly recommended their millet porridge, which was thick and not greasy, very delicious, and I was a little greedy when I heard it, so I asked the proprietress to have a bowl. After drinking the porridge and taking a bun with me, I thought that I would finish the unfinished story.

When I saw that in the afternoon, the story was nearing the end, and I thought, in fact, Dylan is Tristan's ferryman, but they are also their own ferrymen, and we are redeeming others, in fact, we are redeeming ourselves.

After reading the book, I can only pass the time by watering the flowers. He Mingchuan's family has raised these flowers and plants very well, and it will be a good place to care for the elderly in the future.

Loosen the soil and fertilize these flowers every day, and then go out for a walk around when I have nothing to do, and before I know it, I have been here for more than ten days.

It turns out that people can still live like this, sunrise and sunset every day, without a mobile phone, they will not receive all messages from the outside world, and they can eliminate all interference.

Early this morning, as usual, I went out for breakfast. When I walked out of the alley, I saw that familiar figure. He was dressed in a black coat, and he looked a little haggard, and he just stood at the mouth of the alley and looked at me. Sooner or later, he will come to him, and I know that with these few days of pure life, I am very content.

I went to the bun shop and sat down, and he came with me and sat down across from me. I asked the proprietress for a bowl of millet porridge and asked for a bowl for him. I buried my head in the porridge, he stared straight at me, I looked back at him gently, and said, "Their porridge is very good, you can taste it." ”

He still didn't move, as if I had made him taste some kind of poison. After drinking porridge, I took a bun with me as usual. He followed me and I didn't look back at him.

He followed me into He Mingchuan's house, and as soon as I entered the door, he hugged me from behind, and I let him hold me like this, without speaking or struggling. After a while he finally let go of me, and I invited him to sit down on a chair in the courtyard: "There are only chairs here, no more than you are in the city, so you can only settle for a while." ”

"Mingyue......" He called my voice hoarse and low, as if I hadn't spoken for a long, long time and suddenly spoke.

"Come back with me. He continued.

"I will go back. I looked at him and said, "But it won't be with you, I'll go back by myself." ”

There seemed to be a look of pain in Gu Xizhou's eyes, but I wasn't sure now if what I saw was what I wanted to see, and I actually hoped in my heart that Gu Xizhou would be miserable because of my departure, so I could see the pain in his eyes. He sighed and said, "That thing is not what you think, I can explain it." ”

I looked at him lightly: "Actually, I didn't think about anything, I knew that you would say that you didn't really marry her, this is her last condition, if you fulfill her, she won't bother you again, and you will also say that you didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would be cranky...... "Obviously, I have adjusted my mood very well in the past few days, but when I said this, I still couldn't help but shed tears, Gu Xizhou reached out and wanted to wipe away my tears for me, I don't turn my face."

Gu Xizhou came over and hugged me in his arms, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know you're sad, you can beat me and scold me, just don't ignore me." ”

I didn't push him away, but said in a flat tone: "Gu Xizhou, let's get a divorce." ”

Gu Xizhou couldn't help but tighten his hand while holding me, and then he said, "No, I don't agree, you can do whatever you want, but I will never divorce." ”

I pushed him away, looked at his deep eyes, and still said in a flat tone: "Since there is no me in every decision you make, then what is the meaning of our marriage, whenever you make a choice, I am either the one who is protected or the one who is abandoned, but I have never been the one who is side by side with you, Gu Xizhou, I am not your pet, you can make all the decisions for me." ”

He grabbed my shoulders tightly with both hands, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes: "Mingyue, I was wrong, I know, I promised you that I won't hide anything from you anymore, Zhao Wen is what I did wrong, you can punish me however you want, but I don't divorce, I definitely don't divorce." ”

"Then I'll go to the court and sue and let the court decide. I looked into his eyes without any waves, watching his panic gradually turn into loneliness, and finally, it was just a bottomless darkness.

After a while, the darkness under his eyes also disappeared, leaving only a white expanse, and he used his last strength to say: "No matter what method you use, I will not let you go, I will never let you go again, unless I die, you will never want to leave me again." ”

I was forcibly taken back to City A by Gu Xizhou, and instead of taking me back to the apartment, he took me to the villa where he lived. There were only a few servants in the villa, and they all stood at the door and saluted me, and at this moment I felt like a walking corpse, an emotionless robot, and I ignored them, just staring ahead. Gu Xizhou waved his hand and asked them all to do their own thing.

Gu Xizhou took me to the bedroom, and I looked at him: "You are under house arrest, it is illegal, you can't do this to me." ”

I can't tell whether there is anger or pain in his eyes, he closed his eyes and said reluctantly: "As long as you don't mention divorce again, I won't keep you in this way." ”

I stared at him deadly: "Gu Xizhou, is the love in your eyes used this kind of forcible and reckless robbery? Even if you keep me, what is the point? Our marriage certificate was not handled by myself, and I can not recognize this marriage." ”

His expression didn't change in the dim light, he just said coldly, "As long as I can keep you by my side, I don't care what way it is." ”

I said in an almost desperate voice: "Five years ago, in order to let me leave you, you didn't care what way you used, five years later, in order to keep me, you still don't care what way you use, Gu Xizhou, in your eyes, what am I?"

He came over and hugged me, I struggled to push him away, his strength was amazing, I could only let him hold him like this, and he said for a long time: "Mingyue, forgive me this time, forgive me this time, I promise that there will be no next time, you forgive me this time." ”

My tears flowed down my face, and in his arms I asked him, "Gu Xizhou, do you know how I spent my ten days in the countryside?"

Without waiting for him to answer, I said to myself: "I have a very happy and relaxed life, I finally have a moment, I feel the ordinary life that I have longed for all my life, can you let me go, okay?"

He didn't speak for a long time, my tears wet his shirt, I remember that Gu Xizhou used to like to wear white shirts, I don't know when he started to wear dark shirts, he held my hand and gradually let go, looked at me indifferently and said, "It's not early, rest early, I will pick up your parents tomorrow to see you." ”

Gu Xizhou left the bedroom, and I sat here alone, my head was buzzing, and I only remembered his sentence in my mind, my parents who picked me up tomorrow came to see me, I can't let them see me like this. I don't know where Gu Xizhou put my luggage, I didn't take a good look at the bedroom just now, but now I look at it, it seems that I like it, the curtains are lilac curtains, the sheets are fresh colors, this bedroom seems to be no different from my apartment except for the big one.

When I was about to go to the cloakroom, I noticed a wedding photo hanging on the bedside, and I went in to take a closer look, he took me to the manor on the day we met at Luo Feifei's house. He stretched out his hand to me, I thought he was going to help me, I smiled and handed him his hand, the photographer captured it really well, and took this picture at the moment when we all laughed.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself in my heart, I once swore that I wanted to fight the whole world for him, but how should I fight, there was no me in his choice.

I found the clothes that suited me in the cloakroom and went to take a shower. After taking a shower, I found that my luggage had been placed in the bedroom, and my phone had been charging. I walked over and picked up the mobile phone to turn it on, in fact, when I left, I sent a message to Yaning and my parents, saying that I was going to participate in a training, and I was very strict during the period, and I was not allowed to bring my mobile phone, so there was not much news after turning it on, but Luo Feifei sent a message: call me after turning it on.

I called Luo Feifei's phone and she picked it up quickly.

Luo Feifei asked me anxiously: "How are you, did Gu Xizhou find you?" ”

"Well, I'm in his house now. "My tone is very flat, I don't want Luo Feifei to know that the conflict between me and Gu Xizhou just happened, even if it has reached the point of no return, we shouldn't slander each other in front of others.

"He didn't embarrass you. ”

"Nope. ”

"Mingyue," Luo Feifei suddenly called me, "I know I'm sorry for you when I say this, it seems that I always stand on Gu Xizhou's side, I just think that he actually really loves you, the few days you disappeared, he looked for you everywhere like crazy, the whole person was like a walking corpse, lost his soul, several times I wanted to tell her where you are, I know that the matter between you still has to be solved by yourself, this time it is not a trivial matter, I just want to tell you that no matter how you choose, I will be on your side." ”

"Well, I know. ”

It was as if something salty was flowing into my mouth, and I made an excuse to hang up the phone in a hurry, and I was afraid that I would cry if I continued to talk about it. I lay in bed and forced myself to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. There were occasional footsteps outside the door, it was the sound of people pacing outside, I think it was probably Gu Xizhou, he was the only one in the villa who had such heavy footsteps. Separated by a door, but as if separated by the whole world, my consciousness gradually blurred, and slowly I could no longer hear the footsteps outside the door, and I just wanted to keep my eyes closed and never wake up.

The next day I woke up early, and when I went downstairs, I realized that I was the latest to get up. Gu Xizhou sat at the dining table reading a magazine, looking at the cover should be a business magazine, I was standing at the staircase, an aunt who was about the same age as my mother came over, smiling very kindly, she greeted me: "Young lady, good morning." ”

I wasn't used to being so polite for a while, so I could only smile and nodded, she saw that I didn't move, so she continued: "Breakfast has been prepared, it is all prepared according to the young master's instructions, and it is something that the young lady likes." ”

She was so enthusiastic, I couldn't bear to refute her face, so I walked to the table, and I saw buns on the table. Gu Xizhou didn't let me eat steamed buns before, he always felt that everything with stuffing was not clean, unless it was stuffing himself. But Gu Xizhou didn't have a lot of time to make steamed buns for me, so during that time I could only eat sandwiches like him, I didn't like sandwiches, I didn't like bread, I liked breakfast with a rustic flavor, such as the most popular steamed buns.

I picked up the bun and took a bite, it was even better than the one I had bought at the bun shop downstairs in the apartment, and I couldn't help but take another bite. Gu Xizhou was still staring intently at his magazine, not seeming to be looking at me. I quickly finished the bun in my hand, and although there was another one on the plate, I was too embarrassed to eat it again, so I could only take the soy milk and drink it.

Gu Xizhou put down the magazine and began to eat the eggs and bread in front of him. They are all evil capitalists, they like to eat this kind of bread sandwich and other breakfast, obviously there is no taste at all, why can they always eat it with relish.

I drank soy milk with joy, Gu Xizhou put down the bread in his hand and said to me, "Meng Wen will pick up your parents in the afternoon to accompany you." ”

I kept my head down and didn't speak, since he wouldn't let me go, then I could only fight silently, and when he got tired of such days, he would naturally let me go.

He took a sip of milk, and then said: "I know you're still angry, I'll wait for you to get angry, no matter how long you wait, your parents are old, the divorce, don't say it casually in front of them, the old man will not be able to stand it." ”

Gu Xizhou explained these things to me so plainly, as if we didn't quarrel yesterday, as if I was threatening him to compromise with me when I said divorce. Probably not all the sadness can be empathized, he can't understand the sadness of the moment I heard Zhao Wen's voice, and he can't understand the despair of knowing that he once again excluded me from his choice, so he thinks I'm just throwing a tantrum, and it will be fine when I get angry.

I lowered my head and drank the last sip of soy milk, and then said calmly: "Gu Xizhou, I didn't lose my temper, I really want to divorce you." ”

He stretched out his hand to take the bread for a moment, and then picked it up casually, and said in a very flat tone: "I have said it, I will promise you everything but this." ”

But I don't want anything but that.

"If next time, you need a business marriage to save your company, will you also hide from me to hold a wedding, if next time, there is a woman you can't refuse and ask you to hold a wedding with her, do you still have to hide from me to have a wedding, so, what are you keeping me by your side? Let me watch you hold a wedding with another woman?" My laughter seemed to be laughing at him, but it was even more laughing at myself, laughing at my own innocence, how could I think that Gu Xizhou would only take me this scoop in the three thousand weak waters.

I may have really provoked him, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, he tried his best to calm himself, and said in a gentle tone: "Mingyue, I said that there will be no next time. ”

"But I don't believe you anymore. ”

With that, I left the table. I couldn't find the bedroom in this big villa, I could only identify it by my shallow sense of direction, and by the time I found the bedroom, half an hour had passed. I changed my clothes and put on light makeup, although I am in such a trouble with Gu Xizhou now, but he is right, my parents are old, if they know these things, they will definitely be very sad, they can't stand such a toss. I tried to squeeze out a smile and tell myself that everything was going to be okay, no matter what, I couldn't let my parents see anything, and even if I got divorced, I had to tell them slowly.
