Chapter 59: Growing Up
No matter how delicious things are, they have an expiration date, and so do feelings.
The message from Gao Zhao only stirred up a slap-sized splash in my heart, and then it was silent. I'm very tired today, and I don't have the physical strength or mood to gossip about why Guo Nuo divorced Anna.
I opened the door and walked into the big dark house, and suddenly I felt very cold, and this cold quickly surrounded me from the outside to the inside. It turns out that the absence of him would make me so unaccustomed.
I didn't send Chang Yulin a message asking why he didn't come back tonight, or when he would be back. He was a family, although I never asked him if his married life was harmonious, and I tried to avoid discussing his other half with him. But I have never been able to convince myself to completely ignore his married status, let alone forgive his "flash marriage" generously.
Before I could drink a cup of hot tea, my phone rang again, and the caller ID turned out to be Guo Nuo.
"Are you home, can you open the door?" When Guo Nuo's nice voice came from the other end of the phone, I knew that I was not completely immune to everything he had for the time being.
"What do you mean? You know where I live, where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, Guo Nuo was silent for a few seconds, "I'm just outside your and Chang Yulin's residence." β
I didn't talk nonsense, I immediately picked up the cardigan next to me and ran to the foyer, through the glass window, and sure enough, I saw Guo Nuo standing outside the door wearing a windbreaker.
I opened the door, "How did you find here?"
Maybe it was because my tone was not good, Guo Nuo whispered quite hurtfully, "Won't you let me in first?"
"Don't you mind if Chang Yulin is at home?" I don't know why I would ask such a rude question, but my first reaction was like this.
"He's not here, we were socializing together just now, he shouldn't have gotten out yet. β
"You're not....... Never mind. "I originally wanted to ask Guo Nuo if he just divorced Anna, and why did he attend the same party as Chang Yulin. After thinking about it, it should be that Anna had already quarreled with Guo Nuo before, and then told Gao Zhao and Fan Shuangshuang when she couldn't think about it.
"It's easy for me to know where a person lives, especially if the house is written directly in your name, so you don't have to look it up with any effort. Guo Nuo explained again.
I couldn't find any more suitable reasons to turn out an "old friend" and had to get out of the way.
After Guo Nuo entered the house, he glanced at the house lightly, and sat down directly on the sofa in the living room.
"Did you drink?" Guo Nuo didn't smell of alcohol, but all his behaviors today seemed so abnormal.
"No", Guo Nuo didn't look at me, he took out an iron box from his pocket, it was the same cigar Chang Yulin bought for me. But this time Guo Nuo didn't give it to me, but lit one for himself, "Is it okay?" He didn't forget to ask for my opinion.
"You're already on fire. "I didn't forget to remind him how abrupt his arrival was.
Guo Nuo pursed his lips and hooked the corners of his mouth, this smile can definitely be called a bitter smile, I have never seen such an expression on his face. "May you changed. β
"Really?" I walked into the kitchen and retrieved a bottle of soda for Guo Nuo.
"Well, you seem to have grown up. Guo Nuo said very seriously, and the concern in his tone seemed to tell me that his eyes had never left me all these years, and at this moment his face behind the smoke was very handsome, which made me feel momentarily at a loss.
I picked up my teacup and took a sip to stabilize my mind, "Was I naΓ―ve before?"
"No, you're not naΓ―ve, you're just simple, what to do, what you want, everything is simple, never complicate matters. β
It's the first time I've heard someone say about me, "What about Anna?"
"Anna?" Guo Nuo's brow furrowed slightly, "She also knows exactly what she wants, and she won't give up until she has her hand." β
I put down my teacup, "What the hell happened to you and Anna? I heard you had a fight?"
Guo Nuo naturally knew where I had "heard" about it, he took a puff of his cigar, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk about this topic but couldn't directly refuse me, so he had to reply stubbornly: "It's me, I find that we are not suitable." β
"How many years have you been married, I didn't find out if it wasn't suitable?" I didn't ask as Anna's friend, I was just, out of pure curiosity.
"Didn't you like me before?" Guo Nuo naturally left a sentence, leaving me speechless.
"May, you're the kind of woman who can feel 'home'. After we both fell silent, Guo Nuo suddenly broke the silence.
I smiled, "Guo Nuo, do you have any misunderstanding about 'home'? I can't cook, and I don't have a happy family of origin." You say I can feel like 'home'?"
"The person who misunderstands the word 'home' is you. 'Home' is a place where people can completely let their guard down and people who can be fully trusted. β
I don't know if Guo Nuo is right, and I don't want to think about why he said this to me. All I know is that he was nervous about the fact that he was turning the conversation around me.
"Let's not talk about Anna, let's talk about Xie Yuhan! what's going on with you?" I was anxious to find something else.
"Do you mind?" Guo Nuo smiled a little evilly, and he spat out a cloud of white smoke as he spoke, something I had never seen before.
I turned my face away from him, "What do I have to mind about!"
"We were classmates when we were studying abroad, and we participated in several activities together. She's good, the kind that shines very brightly in the crowd. Guo Nuo looked at me with a smile, and his eyes looked like ...... Expecting me to be jealous?
"And then?"
"Then we graduated, and after returning to China, we were quite fateful, and we had seen a lot of entertainment, and we gradually became more familiar than when we were in school. β
I was about to continue asking, but I heard the sound of a car outside.
Guo Nuo also heard it, and he smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect him to go back to his house today." β
It annoyed me a lot, but it didn't make a good attack.
I didn't want to delay for a moment to get up and open the door, "Rainforest", I stood in the foyer and looked out, and saw Chang Yulin standing on the stone steps, hearing my voice, he raised his head in surprise, as if he didn't expect that I hadn't slept yet, his bright eyes were a little innocent at the moment, and that look was really "young teeth".
"Rainforest, Guo Nuo is here. It wasn't until I said this that I realized how "ridiculous" it was. More than a year ago, who of the three of us could have imagined today's situation.
"Oh", Chang Yulin was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to his former appearance of being cold and disdainful of everyone and everything.
