CHAPTER XVIII

Gu Heng frowned: "She's not here, where is she going?" ”

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Aunt Lan hesitated: "Young master, eat slowly, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for Wen Yan, she won't eat anymore, her body can't stand it." With that, he went to the kitchen.

"Aunt Lan." As soon as Aunt Lan raised her foot, Gu Heng stopped her.

Almost without thinking about it, she knew what Gu Heng wanted to say, and Aunt Lan really didn't vomit or be unhappy: "Young master, you also have a little conscience, Wen Yan has done for you and the Gu family, we all see it in our eyes, even if she owes you more money, but she is about to take her life, isn't that enough?" People's hearts are made of flesh, how can you be so ruthless? You don't even have to worry about a meal, you are not as good as a kitten and puppy on the street, but do kittens and puppies understand you? Can I take care of you? You treat her like this, no wonder she wants to ......" At this point, Aunt Lan was agitated and suddenly restrained.

What's going on today? The more I want to bury it in my stomach, the more disobedient I run out.

Gu Heng looked at Aunt Lan steadily, and her expressionless face flashed a trace of emotion when she said the last sentence: "What does she want?" ”

Aunt Lan couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her eyes wandering around: "I didn't say what she wanted......"

Gu Heng's deep and sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Aunt Lan, and his voice was cold: "Aunt Lan, you never lie, sue me, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”

Aunt Lan was so nervous all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Heng's sharp eyes, so she had to look away: "No, it's not interesting, I said it wrong." ”

Gu Heng's eyes lit up: "Aunt Lan......"

Aunt Lan was even more nervous, she didn't know where to put her hand, she had never told a lie in her life, and she had never been so stubborn, it was really uncomfortable to have an unspeakable taste, but since she agreed to Wen Yan, she had to try to keep it a secret for her, so she coughed stiffly, pretending to be annoyed: "Young master, don't be so loud, I have a bad heart, as soon as you scare me, I forgot what to say, you let me calm down first, maybe I can remember." Then he glanced at Gu Heng with some weakness and changed the topic, "You just said that the food is too salty, right, I'll make it for you again." ”

"Aren't you going to cook noodles for Wen Yan?"

Aunt Lan sighed and said puzzledly: "Didn't you let me cook it?" ”

"I didn't let you cook." Gu Heng's face was pale and he couldn't see his feelings, "I just called you, I wanted to say, my throat is a little uncomfortable, call Doctor He to take a look."

After a pause, he said nonchalantly, "By the way, look at Wen Yan, her messy medicines are about to take something wrong." ”

Aunt Lan was stunned for a while, and then she let out a sigh. Then I thought of something, and couldn't help but whisper: "What's the matter with taking medicine?" If there's something wrong, it's also your toss. ”

"What?"

"Nothing."

Gu Heng was silent for a long time, and then put down his chopsticks: "Aunt Lan, if something makes you embarrassed, I hope you can sue me, in this world, the person I don't want to hide from me is you." Gu Heng's voice was not loud, even a little hoarse, but every word was extremely clear.

Aunt Lan's heart was sour, astringency and apology came to her heart, she was old, she was always more sentimental, plus Gu Heng was so sincere and sincere, she couldn't wait to immediately open her heart and show her heart to Gu Heng, but she couldn't, she promised Wen Yan that she would keep her secret, this was her promise, and it was also a small wish that Wen Yan had always had, and she couldn't take it away.

After being silent for a long time, Aunt Lan said abruptly: "Okay." ”

Gu Heng went upstairs.

Aunt Lan stayed where she was, looking at a table of food that hadn't been touched much, and couldn't help but sigh lowly.

In fact, she was a little angry, she knew that the people in her family were not eating well, why did she do so much?

Gu Heng's appetite is getting worse and worse, but his temper is getting bigger and bigger, I really don't know who else can he spread his anger with after Wen Yan leaves?

Aunt Lan sighed and cleaned up the table before Wen Yan went downstairs.

Wen Yan returned to the room, took a cold shower, changed her clothes, and was obviously tired and couldn't open her eyes, but she still forced herself downstairs, ready to clean up the dining table, but found that the table was clean, Aunt Lan had already cleaned up, she stood there and watched for a long time, and then walked to the yard, wanting to tease Ding Ding for a while.

As I walked through the yard, I slowly slowed down and looked up, almost subconsciously. Gu Heng was standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking at her condescendingly in the wind, the night was thick, in fact, he couldn't tell whether he was looking at her, or passing by what kind of nothingness she was looking at, his expression was slightly stagnant, he couldn't tell the emotion, he only felt that his eyes were cold, staring at people, like a man's back.

Wen Yan only glanced at him, then turned his head, did not speak, did not stop, but slowly, slowly walked towards the dog shed.

Ding Ding didn't sleep either, lazily lying on the side of the dog shed, tilting his head as if looking at the stars in the sky, occasionally shaking his body, and when he saw Wen Yan coming over, he raised his head excitedly, moved his body and rubbed against her, and whined low.

Wen Yan reached out to hug its neck, smoothed it from top to bottom, and said something that it usually doesn't know how to say, it seemed to understand, its body swayed back and forth with the movements of her hands, and rubbed Wen Yan's neck with her furry head, eagerly responding to her. Wen Yan touched its head, she couldn't tell what it felt, she would leave here soon, at that time, she would leave with Ding Ding, she had always felt that they were dependent on each other, although this dependence was incomprehensible to most people.

When he walked back from the garden, Gu Heng's figure was no longer on the balcony on the second floor, the breeze was blowing through the treetops, and there was a shadow swaying slightly in front of his window.

Wen Yan returned to the room, let go of himself and collapsed on the bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning.

Outside, it was a summer night wind, and the leaves were swept by the wind and made a gentle rustling sound.

Such a quiet and soft night, but it feels as if you are in an ambush on all sides.

Thinking about Gu Heng's cold gaze repeatedly, I felt apprehensive in my heart, and I always felt that something bad was about to happen, until the sky was bright, I felt sleepy and fell asleep.

There is no suspense, I got up late this morning. Looking up at the time, it was almost nine o'clock.

It's a little strange, after the time, Aunt Lan didn't come up to call her, if she couldn't make breakfast in time, Gu Heng would inevitably lose her temper again.

Washed up briefly, then pushed open the door and went downstairs, and saw Gu Heng sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and Aunt Lan seemed to have just sent someone out.

As soon as she turned around, she happened to see Wen Yan, and Aunt Lan walked forward quickly: "Awake?" ”

"I'm up late." Wen Yan's face was apologetic, "I'm sorry." ”

"Don't talk about it." Aunt Lan glanced at Gu Heng in her eyes, not sure if he heard it, but lowered her voice and said, "Young Master didn't mention it, don't admit it yourself." After thinking for a moment, he added, "And I don't blame you, you are sick with you, so you sleep to death." ”

Wen Yan was puzzled: "Sick? ”

"Just now, Dr. He came and showed you, saying that you have been working hard for a long time and are overtired, and this body needs to be well recuperated, but these are okay, the more troublesome thing is your stomach, there are already signs of perforation...... You really can't take those pills on your table anymore......"

Wen Yan was stunned, couldn't help pressing his stomach with his hand, and frowned: "When did Doctor He see me?" ”

"Just now, isn't this just sent away? You slept too deeply, I didn't wake you up, he gave you a general look, Dr. He is an old doctor for decades, and he has been watching our Gu family for more than ten years, and the young master's body has always been taken care of by him, and this time it is just right for you to recuperate and recuperate. ”

Wen Yan paused for a long time, and then politely pushed: "Aunt Lan, I don't need it." ”

Aunt Lan wrinkled her brows and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be tough, this is what the young master said, take care of your body, don't get sick again." ”

The corners of Wen Yan's mouth moved, and he pulled out a far-fetched smile: "Is that what the young master said?" ”

Aunt Lan couldn't help but swallow her saliva, her face was a little difficult to speak, and after a while, she finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!" ”

Wen Yan turned his head to look at Gu Heng, as if he didn't appreciate it, and his politeness was almost fake: "Thank you young master for your kindness, but I really don't need it, my body, I know it myself, just take a little medicine, I don't need any recuperation." ”

Gu Heng put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yan, there was no expression on his face, but there was ridicule in his eyes: "Wen Yan, you overestimate yourself too much, if the quality of your body will not affect anything, even if you are sick and dying, I will not care, but obviously, this problem cannot be ignored, it has begun to affect your daily work, it has affected me, hasn't it?" ”

Wen Yan paused, Gu Heng's words were really conclusive, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Gu Heng picked up the newspaper again, looked at it calmly, and said something light: "I said that the Gu family doesn't raise idlers, so whether you want to or not, give me as much as possible." ”

"I will." Wen Yan's voice was cool, and a little ethereal, like a mist condensed with water vapor in the morning, obviously sounding respectful and obedient, but there was no trace of cold temperature, "Young master, don't worry, even if I die, I won't die in the Gu family, even if I hold on to my breath, I will go far away, and I won't let you see me fall." ”

Gu Heng's hand holding the newspaper froze, as if he hesitated, did not look away, did not look up, there was a brief silence in the room, the surroundings were so quiet that only breathing could be heard, the sun shone in, but the light only illuminated half of his face, and the other half was drowned in ominous shadows.
