4. The man
"Can you see who that person is?"
"What?"
"You said you were in a very dark house, what did you see?"
"I ......"
Suddenly, Gu Yi woke up from a dream.
Cold sweat slid down her forehead and fell to the corners of her eyes, Gu Yi turned sideways, the quilt that was originally tightly covered bulged, and as she moved, her back seemed to be swishing through a cool breeze.
She couldn't help but shudder.
The light of the wall lamps is faint and not dazzling.
For as long as she can remember, she has always fallen asleep with the lights on.
Occasionally, Xu Chen would habitually turn off the lights before leaving, but she would turn them on again.
She hated being alone in a room with no light source.
Gu Yi couldn't tell what it was like.
It's as if there is a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, and in this room where you can't reach your fingers, they are hiding somewhere and secretly watching you.
It's like a thorn in the back.
After lying quietly for a while, Gu Yi took out his hand from the quilt.
With her fingers pressed together in front of her eyes, she stared at the diamond ring in a daze.
Back in the banquet hall after the ceremony, more than one person asked when they planned to get married.
Xu Chen, who was on his side, coped with it decently, saying that he was not in a hurry, let her take care of her body first.
Speaking of which, avoid mentioning the woman's sadness, everyone is not good to ask again.
The accident hit the person concerned too hard, and of course he had to recuperate.
It's just that......
Gu Yi knew in her heart that in addition to this, there were more important reasons.
It's not that Xu Chen is bad, it's just that she still can't accept such an intimate distance.
That kind of vague sense of rejection, Gu Yi didn't understand why.
Jiang Yaqin's words resurfaced.
Repentance?
Will she?
She didn't know how she and Xu Chen used to get along, but at present, it was not so much that Xu Chen loved her in every way, but that she relied on Xu Chen everywhere.
Gu Yi didn't know if Xu Chen was like this in his opinion.
Once he left him, he was helpless and lonely.
โโ
on the dining table.
Regarding the idea put forward by Gu Yi, Xu Chen was slightly stunned.
But he didn't have time to pay attention, turned around, and answered the phone again.
After a while, he came back again, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" โ
Gu Yi continued to smear butter on the toast, his eyes not looking at him: "I just suddenly felt that I couldn't rely on you too much." โ
Xu Chen didn't respond immediately, and Gu Yi continued: "I'm almost better now, and I don't need special care. โ
Putting down the tableware in his hand, Xu Chen asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?" โ
"I know," from Xu Chen's tone, he could read that he was not very happy in his heart, and there was no turning back from the bow, Gu Yi said stubbornly, "I just said to move out temporarily, I don't want to cause you too much trouble." โ
Xu Chen's expression was solemn: "I don't think you're in trouble." โ
Gu Yi didn't know how to express her inner thoughts.
Like a drowning person, he can only rely on the driftwood closest to him.
Xu Chen was the driftwood she caught.
But she didn't know when she would be able to land, or if she would be able to do so.
"I mean......" Gu Yi pondered repeatedly, "I can also have my own life, I don't want to know nothing, I don't know anything, if one day you get tired of me, I ......"
"There won't be a day."
Xu Chen's face sank, and he forcibly interrupted her words.
The movement of Gu Yi's hand stiffened, and the knife and fork touched lightly on the plate, making a crisp sound.
This was the first time Xu Chen had spoken to her in such a deep voice.
Moving his lips, Gu Yi finally chose to swallow all the words.
Except for silence, or silence.
A minute later, Xu Chen finally took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Don't think too much about it," Xu Chen asked, "Did someone tell you something yesterday?" โ
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Yi lowered his head and bit his toast, "No one told me anything, I was cranky myself." โ
Xu Chen has tried her best to take care of herself for so long, and she doesn't want to get too stiff with Xu Chen.
At least he really cared about himself.
Even if he didn't raise his eyes, Gu Yi could feel the gaze that Xu Chen had on his face.
The gentle eyes are different from the past.
As if she wanted to see her whole person through, she explored a little more, which made her feel uncomfortable for a moment.
But only for a moment.
Xu Chen's brows stretched and he spoke softly: "Are you angry with me last night?" โ
As he spoke, he reached out to help Gu Yi pour a glass of milk and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good." โ
Gu Yi was stunned.
"I really didn't pay enough attention to you last night, you know, Chen Jun and Wu Xiaoxiao's engagement banquet is an opportunity, if I can meet that person, it will help me a lot," Xu Chen sighed, "Your worries will not happen, I will not get tired of you, let alone leave you, promise me, don't have this kind of thought in the future, okay?" โ
"I'm not ......"
When the words came to his lips, touching Xu Chen's worried eyes, Gu Yi couldn't continue the words.
Xu Chen looked at the remorse on Gu Yi's face, and said slowly: "You can have your own life, but you have to understand that this world is not as simple as you think, I don't want you to receive any more harm, do you understand?" โ
Xu Chen's voice was too heavy, which made Gu Yi subconsciously lower his eyes.
The left hand on the dining table moved slightly in front of him, and then clenched into a fist.
It's a bit like a child who has been trained.
With a softening in his heart, Xu Chen's expression finally softened a little.
He shook his head with a smile and said softly, "It's that I've been watching you too closely, and I'll take you out to play when I'm done with this time, okay?" โ
Gu Yi slowly raised his head, noncommittal.
In the next few days, Xu Chen never returned.
As usual, Gu Yi rarely asked about his itinerary, only knowing that it was a matter of work, and it was normal to socialize constantly.
On Friday, after several days of rainy weather, it finally cleared up, and when she came out of the psychological clinic, Gu Yi put on a mask easily.
Dr. Xu, who has been in charge of her condition, and Xu Chen are old friends, and Xu Chen used to accompany her. This time, I only saw her alone, and I teased Xu Chen for not being considerate enough.
Gu Yi smiled, she has been here many times, and she is also familiar with this Doctor Xu.
It's just that it didn't help her recover her memories in any way.
After going out, she called Xu Chen, Xu Chen seemed to be in a meeting, and Gu Yi didn't want to disturb him.
"Then I'll hang up, you can be busy."
"Well," Xu Chen said, "remember to rest well, I'll go home in the evening." โ
"Okay."
In response, Gu Yi put the phone back in his pocket.
In the cold wind, she couldn't help but stomp her feet, quickened her pace back to the parking lot, opened the back seat door and got in.
The distance from the clinic to the community is long, and Gu Yi slept lightly in the car for a while.
The sound of the car horn pulled her back from the darkness, Gu Yi was still a little confused, she felt that she had stopped in place for a long time and did not move, she lowered the window, and the driver's voice came from the front: "Miss Gu, there is a traffic jam ahead." โ
Gu Yi glanced out of the car window, across the street, a jewelry advertisement was playing on the LED display opposite, revealing most of the heroine's face under the dreamy and beautiful lighting, which was beautiful.
Gu Yi recognized that this was the woman she accidentally bumped into on the night of the engagement banquet.
Without that little bit of wolf bรจi, you can feel her seductive eyes across a screen.
A face with an indifferent expression was vaguely reflected in his mind.
The dark eyes are deep and the bridge of the nose is straight.
Gu Yi still remembered the appearance of the person's thin lips pursed, and under the slightly hazy faint light, the lines of his side face were simple and handsome, which was simply too perfect.
In the past six months, she has rarely been able to remember a person's appearance so clearly.
Except for Xu Chen, who gets along day and night, he is the first.
His gaze wandered, and Gu Yi fixed his gaze on a small figure in front of the building.
It's a young man who paints portraits, and the distance is too far away to see clearly.
Wooden easel, and a small folding chair.
Caring about the helpless driver, Gu Yi climbed on the back of the driver's seat with one hand: "If you can, you can go back first, I want to take a walk around here." โ
The driver was embarrassed: "But ......"
"I will tell Mr. Xu in person," Gu Yi said, "you give me your mobile phone number, and I will contact you when the time comes." โ
