13. Ye Qiu
"Miss, are you alright?"
A bony hand stretched out in front of him, holding a tissue in his palm, and his voice was soft and pleasant.
Gu Nanfeng turned his head sharply and lowered his eyes again, "No, thank you"
She was a clean, fair-skinned girl with short shoulder-length hair of light flaxen, and a rhinestone stud earring on her earlobe that sparkled under the street lamp.
"You look so uncomfortable"
Ye Qiu still insisted on handing her the tissue, Gu Nanfeng had no choice but to take it, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you"
With that, he pushed her hand away and straightened up and was about to leave, when the sky swirled, and darkness flooded consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and there were sparrows chirping in the treetops outside the window, and I could faintly hear the sound of car horns, as if I had been far away from the hustle and bustle.
Gu Nanfeng opened his eyes blankly, and what caught his eye was not the blue and white striped quilt of the hospital, but the fresh potted plants on the windowsill, the growth of the fortune bamboo was gratifying, and there were a few pots of hyacinths.
Only then did she realize that she was not in the hospital, but at someone's house, subconsciously checking whether her clothes were complete, and then breathed a sigh of relief, her wallet and mobile phone were still there.
"Are you awake?" Ye Qiu came up from downstairs with his slippers, and handed her the glass in his hand, still warm, "You probably have low blood sugar that's why you fainted, you need to eat more."
Gu Nanfeng only wore a thin shirt, vaguely revealing her thin collarbone, because she had just gotten up, the first button of the shirt was not fastened, and a few strands of long hair fell mischievously into the placket, she noticed her sight and reached out to straighten it out.
"Thank you," she took the glass, took a few sips, and put it down, "I have to go to work, can I leave a phone call and thank you later?" ”
There was a hint of pleasure in the smile on the corner of the woman's lips, "If it weren't for your serious appearance, I would have thought you were talking"
Gu Nanfeng didn't speak, took out a small notebook and pen from his bag, wrote a line of words on the paper, and then tore it off and handed it to her.
"This is my phone, you can find me if you need it"
She never likes to owe anyone else, to anyone.
There are very few people who use fountain pens in these years, because of being a teacher for a long time, Gu Nanfeng's handwriting is dignified and beautiful, and there is always a spirit between the lines like people.
Nanfeng knows what I mean, and it is really a good name to dream of Xizhou, but the wind is always an erratic thing, Ye Qiu looked at the three words Nanfeng and a string of phone numbers on the note, and curled the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Miss Gu, today is Saturday."
Gu Nanfeng stiffened when he got out of bed, and smiled bitterly, he really forgot about it......
"Boss, a guest is coming" A shout came from downstairs, Ye Qiu raised his voice and responded, and didn't forget to greet her before leaving.
"The bathroom is over there, you can go to your own toilet, you can sleep a little longer, no one will disturb you"
There is a dark blue under her eye sockets that can't be covered by foundation, which is a trace of staying up late all year round, and has seen it on the faces of many people who come to her store to get tattoos.
She's not a good person, she's just extra sympathetic to beautiful women~
Gu Nanfeng took another sip of the glass, and tasted a hint of sweetness on the tip of her tongue, it turned out to be warm sugar boiled water, she remembered that every time she was sick when she was a child and couldn't eat, her grandmother would mix it with sugar boiled water for her to drink.
The taste of childhood is also the warmth that has not been given by strangers for a long time.
She wanted to see her grandmother.
After packing up and going downstairs, I found that this is a small tattoo studio, simple and bright decoration style, antique gray wall adds a few touches of simplicity and quiet, and some tattoo works are carved and hollowed out on the wall, I don't know if it is her masterpiece?
Ye Qiu changed his laziness just now, wearing disposable sterile masks and gloves, his eyes were sharp, and his shoulder-length hair was tied up and wrapped in a hat, so as not to affect his work, and his broken hair was not good with a small black card.
was whispering to a girl sitting on the tattoo chair, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine for a while, you will definitely be able to cover this trace"
The girl has a very obvious scar on her wrist, Gu Nanfeng is rarely interested in anything other than work, and looking at her professional methods, it is rare to feel a little interested.
Ye Qiu glanced at the girl after carefully disinfecting her wrists, "Go over there and take a look, it will affect my work."
Gu Nanfeng pursed her lower lip, walked to the sofa on the other side and sat down, the boy who had just called her downstairs seemed to be her apprentice, busy running errands, and did not forget to bring a carton of pure milk and a few breads over.
"The boss ordered it, the milk is too hot,"
"Thank you" Gu Nanfeng pursed the corners of his lips and showed a soft smile.
The boy was a little embarrassed, scratched his short head, and ran away again.
It is said that from the posture of holding the tattoo machine, you can see whether a tattoo master is professional or not, Ye Qiu's hand is very stable, the angle of the needle will not be tilted more than 20 degrees with the skin, and occasionally when the girl cries out in pain with red eyes, she will softly comfort her, and her attitude is kind and kind.
It is said that tattoos have different meanings for everyone, some are tattooed with the name of their sweetheart, and some are their favorite patterns.
Gu Nanfeng only remembered the movie "Tattoo" that he watched that year.
She was snuggling on the sofa to wipe her tears, and the man only hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Isn't it just to watch a movie and cry like this?"
She laughed at her for not understanding amorous feelings, she felt that she was too sad, and the two of them broke up unhappily, it turned out that neither of them really understood each other.
"Okay" Ye Qiu put down the tattoo machine, used erythromycin ointment to apply a fine circle on the girl's wrist, and wrapped it in plastic wrap.
"After five or six hours, remove the plastic wrap, wash it with water, wipe it clean, and if you are afraid of infection, you can take a little anti-inflammatory medicine"
The girl's eyes were full of gratitude, and the ugly scar on her wrist was obscured, and instead turned into a lace-edged bracelet.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome, don't do anything to hurt yourself in the future"
Xu is shop was too quiet, relaxing her nerves that had been tense for a long time, Gu Nanfeng gradually leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep, his side face soft and clean.
A small crack opened in the door, and a light gray folded cat squeezed in, sniffed around, and slowly paced down the couch.
Ye Qiu passed through the crack in the door of the bathroom, and before he could wash off the soap foam on his hands, he rushed out with an arrow, "Yuebai, don't go over"
However, it was too late, and Yuebai had already jumped on her lap and meowed.
Gu Nanfeng suddenly woke up and stood up, the fluffy touch on her legs made her palms break out a thin layer of cold sweat, and her face turned pale.
Yuebai was also frightened, rolled on the ground, meowed aggrievedly, and paced towards Ye Qiu with his tail cocked.
She hugged her in her arms and combed the fluff on her neck, "This is my folded ear cat, called Yuebai, unruly"
Gu Nanfeng nodded, and knew that he had overreacted, "Sorry, I bothered today."
With that, he took his bag and turned to leave.
Ye Qiu stopped her again, "Why don't you go to dinner together?" I often eat alone anyway."
The apprentice has already gotten off work, after all, she has to accompany his girlfriend, she is a very humane boss.
I don't hate this short-haired girl, and I scared other people's cats just now, Gu Nanfeng thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll invite you to dinner"
Ye Qiu secretly sighed in his heart, put Yuebai down, and went to wash his hands before going out.
Gu Nanfeng is a person who doesn't like to talk very much, but Ye Qiu is a chatterbox, talking about the philosophy of life from Tiannan and Haibei, Gu Nanfeng, who doesn't want to be led by the other party's questions anymore, had to rub his eyebrows and interrupt her words.
"Doesn't that mean tattoo parlors can't have pets?"
The smile on Ye Qiu's face froze for a moment, and he poked the grilled fish in front of him with chopsticks, "When I first picked up Yuebai, it was only a few months old, and it was dirty and shrunk behind the garbage can, it looked very pitiful, although I knew that this was the rule, but Yuebai has always been very obedient, I never entered the store when I was working, and I also took a bath and vaccinated it every day."
It is said that cats have a heart of love, and dogs are eager to be loved, Gu Nanfeng closed his eyes, and he didn't know what to say.
The smile on the corner of Ye Qiu's lips was a hint of slyness, "Does Teacher Gu have a boyfriend?" ”
Gu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her short hair and obviously neutral dress, revealing a tacit smile.
"I don't like anything smaller than me"
Ye Qiu was devastated, "Hasn't Teacher Gu heard of the New Year's attack?" ”
Although she doesn't plan to get married, she hasn't thought about going back on this path, and her current state is not suitable for falling in love.
Gu Nanfeng sat up a little straighter, the smile on his lips was polite and distant, "No, but I have a boyfriend who has been dating for more than a year."
Ye Qiu blinked, "Just ask, why is Teacher Gu so serious?"
The expression on Gu Nanfeng's face froze for a moment, and he pursed his lips, and the coldness that he maintained for a moment broke through.
"However, Mr. Gu looks much cuter when he is angry."
The end of teasing Gu Nanfeng was when she checked out, she touched her bag, and there was a hint of innocence on her face.
"I forgot to bring money"
Who are you fooling......
Ye Qiu rolled her eyes, but it was impossible to really rummage through her bag, so she had to call her apprentice and ask him to come over for help.
"Teacher Gu has time to come and play with me" She waved her hand when she left, and added, "I will go to Teacher Gu when I have time."
Gu Nanfeng ignored her and turned around and entered the community.
What a kid these days is......
