Chapter 7: Rivals in Love
There was an embarrassed voice from the other end: "That, Xiaoyang, I may not come over, you can rest early today, and we will make an appointment tomorrow." ”
Although Gu Xiangyang was a little lost in his heart, he was still calm on the surface: "It's okay, then you go and get busy, well, goodbye." ”
Hanging up the phone, Gu Xiangyang let out a long sigh, Mu Ting glanced at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" In fact, I was jubilating in my heart, that kid didn't make an appointment!
"Oh, nothing. Who knew that Gu Xiangyang didn't mention too much to Mu Ting, and Mu Ting was a little disappointed.
"It's a kind of fate to meet on the street, we are friends, you can tell me anything unhappy. Mu Ting is full of anticipation.
For Gu Xiangyang, it is indeed rare to have friends, so seeing his sincere eyes, he was simply moved, and took out two movie rolls from his pocket: "Let's go to the movies together, I have wanted to watch this movie for a long time, I originally made an appointment with a friend today, but he will not come if he has something to do temporarily." ”
Mu Ting took the ticket in his hand and looked happy: "This movie is very good, I went to the cinema half a month ago to watch it alone, and I wanted to find another opportunity to watch it." It's a coincidence, it seems like the time is almost up, let's go. ”
"Really?" Gu Xiangyang smiled happily: "I was worried that you wouldn't like to watch this movie and reluctantly accompany me to watch it." ”
"I like everything you like. After Mu Ting said this, Gu Xiangyang suddenly looked up at him. Mu Ting's heart was suffocated, it was over, and he said that he had leaked his mouth.
"I mean......" Mu Ting thought for a while and said, "I mean, we are both two years old, and of course the things we like will be almost the same, so I may like most of what you like." ”
"Oh, that's right. The two came to the cinema together, Mu Ting spontaneously bought a large bucket of popcorn and snacks, Gu Xiangyang watched his mouth keep moving, and couldn't help laughing.
Mu Ting's face was slightly red, and he finally didn't stuff anything into his mouth anymore.
"Why don't you eat it? I didn't say anything to you. ”
"I always think you're smiling weirdly, and I'm a little embarrassed. Mu Ting couldn't cry or laugh.
Gu Xiangyang took another bucket of popcorn and said, "Eat with you, I can't see that you love snacks so much." ”
Mu Ting only felt that he had hit the trough from the plain all of a sudden, would a man's love of snacks be underestimated? Sure enough, shouldn't he reveal his true nature so early?
"Do you like to eat very much?" Gu Xiangyang suddenly asked him.
"I ...... Well, sort of...... Boys like to eat more, usually in addition to making music, the biggest hobby is to find food. ”
"Then you can take me to eat delicious food in the future. Gu Xiangyang paused and continued: "Because of the long-term hospitalization, I didn't have the opportunity to eat so many delicious things, when I was very hungry after chemotherapy but even vomited bile, I thought, when I get better one day, I will go and eat all the Chinese food." ”
Mu Ting stared at him in surprise: "Sickness?chemotherapy?What disease do you have?Are you getting better now?"
Seeing his anxious appearance of asking himself, Gu Xiangyang only felt very moved, this man is really a very kind person!
"Well, I'm sure I'll be completely fine, you don't have to worry. Gu Xiangyang smiled at him, wanting to comfort him.
Mu Ting's heart was suffocated, and he liked the beautiful and lovely boy in front of him more and more. Although he is seriously ill, he does not feel sorry for himself at all, and comforts others in turn, if it is himself, he may not be able to be as optimistic as him.
He stretched out his hand and clasped Gu Xiangyang's hand, Gu Xiangyang subconsciously looked up at him, instinctively wanting to pull it back, but Mu Ting clenched it tightly and said, "Let me hold it and give you all the positive energy and courage in my body." ”
Gu Xiangyang was stunned, smiled, and let him hold it like this. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I walked out of the cinema. Mu Ting asked him, "Is your home far away from here?" Why don't I send you back?"
"No, I'll just go ahead and take a taxi, and it's not too far from here. Thank you so much for today. ”
"Well, I'm supposed to thank you, it's a great night, by the way, come to our bar tomorrow, I'll play the guitar for you." Mu Ting took a deep breath and looked at him a little nervously.
Gu Xiangyang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, if there is no emergency tomorrow, I will definitely go." By the way, I've always wanted to ask, is that the bar owned by you?"
"Yes, I opened this bar when I was a junior. The two chatted as they walked: "But I'm ashamed to say that it was opened for me with the money from the family, so it's not my own." But I'm trying to make money right now and give it back to my parents. ”
"It's nice to be able to go to college. Gu Xiangyang looked envious, and Mu Ting suddenly remembered that he had not finished his studies because of his illness.
"Actually, you can continue to study, you're still young, aren't you? You look like you're a little younger than me. ”
"I'm twenty-three years old. Gu Xiangyang sighed lightly: "If you don't get sick, you should be a junior now." I'm going to be a senior soon. ”
"Well, I'm twenty-four, a year older than you, and just graduated from college. Mu Ting smiled and said, "If you have time, you can take the self-exam." ”
"I didn't even finish the last semester of my junior year of high school, and I basically forgot all about those topics. It feels like an impossible thing, so forget it. ”
Mu Ting slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't think like this, you can resist a terminal illness, now it's just a self-examination university, for you, it's not a problem at all, if you don't understand something, you can come and ask me, my grades are still quite good." ”
Gu Xiangyang's eyes rekindled hope, and he looked at Mu Ting in surprise: "Is it really possible?"
Mu Ting nodded vigorously: "Of course, you are welcome to come to me at any time." ”
"Well, then I'll take it to heart. Gu Xiangyang said very seriously, Mu Ting smiled at him: "Then I'll wait for you to come over tomorrow." ”
On the way back, Gu Xiangyang called Xiaozhuzi a few times, but no one answered. He frowned, a little worried about him, usually the little pillar would not be like this, did he encounter any unexpected situation today?
When I went back, it was already half past eleven, and I was about to fall asleep, when the phone rang, Gu Xiangyang subconsciously thought it was Xiaozhuzi, and happily took the phone: "Xiaozhu, why are you only calling now, ...... today."
"Uh, it's me. Mu Ting, I called just to make sure you arrived home safely. I didn't find you sleeping, did you?" Mu Ting listened attentively to the movement on the other end of the phone.
Gu Xiangyang took a deep breath, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, if it's okay, I'll hang up the phone first, good night." ”
Before Mu Ting could say goodnight, the man hung up the phone. I could hear that the tone was very unhappy, and I was probably angry now.
Xiao Zhuzi didn't call again that night, Gu Xiangyang sat weakly on the sofa at home, dialing his phone from time to time, and it was always turned off. It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time for dinner, that he finally dialed over.
"Xiaoyang, I'm really sorry, I just saw the phone now. I should have called you yesterday to worry you. The sound of the small pillar at the end sounded like it had just woken up.
"Why did you go yesterday?"
"I worked overtime yesterday, I was so tired, I came back and fell asleep on the bed, I didn't even take a shower, I was about to go out to eat, have you eaten?"
"Not yet. Gu Xiangyang didn't ask any further. Xiao Zhuzi proposed, "Let's go out to eat together." ”
The two made an appointment to eat at the restaurant where they met for the first time, and Gu Xiangyang kept his head down and remained silent, looking like he was angry.
"Xiaoyang, I'm really sorry yesterday. ”
"No more owing, I see. Gu Xiangyang sighed lightly and looked up at the little pillar: "You think don't do this, I'm worried about you." The phone never got through, and they didn't tell me what was going on. ”
"Hmm. Xiao Zhuzi looked at him with a smile and shook his hand: "I will quit my job there and be with you." You can rest assured that nothing like this will happen again in the future. ”
"Are you busy at work?"
"Uh...... Yes, I'm very busy, so busy that I vomit blood, although the salary is very high, but I am not happy to do it, I used to feel that I have nothing by myself, everything has passed. But after meeting you, I had the idea of quitting my job, but I couldn't lose my job for a while, and when the contract expired, I could leave. ”
"What kind of work is it?" Gu Xiangyang couldn't help but ask him curiously.
A trace of panic flashed on the iron pillar's face, but he quickly returned to calm: "It's the work on the construction site, there are too many types of work, and you haven't done it, so you don't know it." ”
Gu Xiangyang was a little disappointed: "Maybe I'll know." ”
"Did I stay at home without accompanying you yesterday?" Tie Zhu asked curiously.
Gu Xiangyang remembered the person he met yesterday, and couldn't help but smile: "No, I met a friend on the street yesterday, and I went to watch a movie with him, by the way, it's really fateful to say it, when I first met him, I actually thought you looked like him." ”
"Really?" Tie Zhu felt a little mustard in his heart, and was very curious about who that man would be: "Take me to see it, how similar it is." ”
"Okay, let's go to his bar today, let's go together. ”
As soon as Mu Ting came to the store today, he was full of energy, and the clerks were secretly happy that the store manager they were familiar with was back. Originally, he was full of anticipation for his arrival in the evening, but when he saw Gu Xiangyang walking in with that person, Mu Ting's whole face was pulled down.
But he hid all his unhappiness and sent two cocktails over, it seemed to be the instinct of a rival in love, and Xiao Zhuzi and Mu Ting didn't have much affection for each other as soon as they met.
In Mu Ting's opinion, Xiao Zhuzi is a vulgar person, and he is not worthy of Gu Xiangyang at all. In Xiaozhuzi's opinion, Mu Ting is just a nasty rich second generation, a parasite who will die without relying on his parents.
Xiao Zhu sipped his cocktail and said calmly: "You guys have a really good mix of wine here, but I think it's human...... Xiaoyang said that I look like you. I thought it was similar, but when I looked at it, I realized that we didn't look like each other at all. ”
"Well, I think so too, if I look so handsome and stylish like Brother Zhuzi, I guess I can go out and sell it, and now the rich woman is generous. Mu Ting seemed to be joking.
Gu Xiangyang glanced at him with disgust: "Why do you regret that?"
The pillar shook his hand, and the wine spilled out, and he glared at Mu Ting coldly, this girl should have done it on purpose, it seems that he already knows about himself.
The three of them met in a strange atmosphere, Mu Ting smiled and said, "Xiaoyang, will you come over tomorrow?"
When Gu Xiangyang was thinking about how to refuse him, Mu Ting said: "I have some college entrance examination materials here, if you come over, I will go back and sort it out for you today, and you can come over tomorrow to get it." ”
"Really? Thank you so much. Gu Xiangyang was very excited and thanked.
"Gone, Xiaoyang. The pillar urged unhappily on the side, and Gu Xiangyang waved goodbye to Mu Ting.
On the way back, Zhuzi's mood seemed to be very bad, usually he found a topic, but even if Gu Xiangyang found some topics today, he ignored it.
"Little pillar, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiangyang bumped him with his elbow, and the pillar smiled at him reluctantly: "You have been very close to that person named Mu Ting recently?"
"Well, it's not very close, it's just that I've been asking him for help with some things lately, and he's really a nice guy. Gu Xiangyang said with a smile.
Zhu Zi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "He has the word "good man" written on his face? ”
Zhu Zi said this, which made Gu Xiangyang a little unhappy: "You don't know him, how can you talk about him like this?"
"I don't know him, do you understand?" Zhu Zi vented his anger on Gu Xiangyang's head: "Look at the tone of his speech, every word is coming at me, with a gun and a stick, it's really disgusting, isn't it just a rich second generation who has some small money in the family? What's the big deal, you have the ability to make money with your own hands! You don't have to associate with such people in the future!"
"That's enough!" Gu Xiangyang couldn't accept the appearance of the pillar, not at all like the little pillar he knew: "The little pillar I know will not be angry for anyone, he will only do his own thing seriously, I don't know where Mu Ting provoked you, but Mu Ting is also my friend, so ...... Even if you don't like him, you still have at least respect for him, I don't like you like this very much. ”
Zhu Zi was about to go crazy, and roared in a low voice: "Respect? Gu Xiangyang, are you mistaken?! Didn't you see the way he looked at you? You made me respect this kind of wolf cub for someone who coveted me? Am I crazy? Do you have a long brain? He looks like he's going to pounce on you at any time, and I want to whip him once I see him." ”
"Forget it, I won't tell you, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, I don't have anything to say to you now, come to me after you calm down, I'll go home first." Gu Xiangyang has never been good at quarreling, so even in the face of the pillar's anger, he also looked calm, the pillar had red eyes, looked at his back as he left, and swallowed the bitterness in his throat.
