25. Chapter 25
The phone rang suddenly.
Even if Gu Qingxia's bell was set to a guqin song, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded at this time, and it was still like a drum hammer hitting the heartstrings, making people's hearts beat uncomfortably.
The caller ID is "Zoe", and she is Jingyi's secretary. ...... on the big weekend Gu Qingxia suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and intuitively felt that this phone call was not a good thing.
"Hey, Zoe?"
“…… Car accident?! "Hearing the news of Jingyi's car accident, Gu Qingxia's body tensed up for a moment." …… Slight? …… That's great! In which hospital? I'm going to see him. ”
Hanging up the phone, she let out a long breath. Thankfully, nothing major happened. Although Jingyi drank less last night, she also drank and rear-ended with someone. The chase was a bit hard, and the Mercedes-Benz's airbags popped out, with a slight concussion. The other party is a little miserable, the Japanese two-box car, the second half is basically gone. Fortunately, the airbag popped out, and his life was fine.
No one died, a great blessing in misfortune.
Gu Qingxia has always felt that in this world, there is actually nothing important except death. I don't remember when she started to have this kind of perception......
She sat in the driver's seat and stared at the mobile phone screen, moving her fingers, calling up the contact interface, the N-word prefix, a "Nan" who didn't know when it was entered, was on the top of the "Nancheng Substitute Driver". She deleted the contact with a blank face, threw the phone on the passenger seat, held the steering wheel and was silent for a few seconds, hung up the D gear, and stepped on the accelerator to start.
The road from where Nan Siwen lives to the city is a bit blocked. When Gu Qingxia arrived at the hospital, it was already noon. asked Jingyi's ward number, and she looked all the way over. It's easy to find.
Single room with the door ajar so you can see the people inside. Jingyi was half-lying, and his wife was sitting on the edge of the bed. Gu Qingxia's foot stepped in and took it back......
"Open your mouth, ah-" The woman carefully blew the food from the cool spoon and brought it to his mouth.
Jingyi said helplessly: "Ah, what, it's not a child." "The voice is a little weak, lazy. As he said that, he opened his mouth and took the spoon in his mouth.
"Kids? You're not as good as a child. The woman complained, "Xiaojing knows that you can't drive when you drink, but you don't know when you're a father." ”
"I really only drank a little bit." Jingyi argued.
"What did you do then?"
"I was thinking about things and got distracted......"
"Don't you think about things when you're not drinking? Why don't you crash? Ahh
"......" Jingyi was speechless and opened her mouth obediently. After a few bites, "I don't want to eat it." ”
"Just eat a little."
"I can't eat it, I'm disgusting."
"Are you still dizzy?"
"It's okay......"
The woman put down the bowl, sat closer, leaned over and reached out to gently touch her husband's head, and complained in a low voice: "You......"
Babbling and chattering. Some people may find it annoying. But some people will feel that peace of mind.
Gu Qingxia clearly saw Jing Yi's eyes looking at his wife. It was the man's wife and child's hot kang head, feeling reassured. She leaned over the doorframe, listened for a moment, and then turned away.
Jing Yi closed her eyes and listened to her wife's chatter. He was dizzy and didn't want to move, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly. He opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the doorway. The silhouette I saw just now is gone......
Very good.
When he was driving, he was thinking about her, and he was distracted by it. But at the moment when the car collided, what he was thinking about was the slightly blessed woman in front of him, as well as Xiaojing.
There is no Gu Qingxia.
No......
broke up with her ruthlessly, and he was suddenly relieved.
"Why are you going?" He grabbed his wife, who was about to get up.
"I'll shake the bed down for you, and you can lie down comfortably."
“…… Good. ”
She also carefully closed the curtains, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner in the room, and covered him with a thin summer quilt. Suddenly his wrist was caught.
"I'll sleep for a while, don't go, stay with me for ......a while," he said.
"How can you be like a child...... "She muttered, but she sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand and gently patting the back of his hand.
The curtains of the hospital are not insulated, and the sunlight penetrates the indigo fabric, turning the room into a light blue tone, and it doesn't look so hot. Jing Yi closed his eyes, the hand he was holding in his hand was chubby and soft, hot and comfortable. Her tap was a little bit of a flicker.
Slowly, drowsiness came in.
On Monday, Nan Siwen waited for a call from his boss on Radiant Road outside the Fifth Ring Road in the southeast as usual. When they're not working, they're actually idle. A few people found a shade and spread newspapers to play cards. Nan Siwen hit it twice, and when he looked up, he saw the billboard in the distance and set up scaffolding again.
His heart moved slightly, he threw all the cards out of his hand, got up and walked over there.
"Dude, you're working hard......" Holding his hand out of the sun, he accosted the person standing below.
"No, it's hard money."
"Me too...... Nan Siwen handed over a cigarette.
They are all working outside, handing a cigarette and shouting two sentences of hard work, and immediately have a common language. After asking each other about the situation and income of each other's industry, and then complaining a few words about the boss's meanness and stinginess, they quickly became acquainted.
Nan Siwen asked casually: "There was an accident here two weeks ago, is it your people?" Three or four men, trying to get a woman. ”
The other party glanced at him, holding the cigarette between his two fingers, and said, "Tsk": "Have you all heard about it?" It's our company. What a boldness! But the woman's ...... I'm telling you, she deserves it, she asked for it! ”
Nan Siwen listened patiently to him, complained for a while, Gu Qingxia was harsh and mean to them, and quietly inquired and understood Gu Qingxia's company name and address.
At noon, I bought a boxed lunch pulled by a tricycle with my co-workers, and everyone squatted on the road to eat together. After eating lunch and looking at the time, he estimated that there would be nothing to do in the afternoon, so he said hello and said "something" and left first. Take the shuttle bus of the development zone, take a section of high-speed, and go to the city in only 20 minutes without traffic jams. He got off the bus in the most prosperous CBD in the imperial capital, raised his hand to cover the sun, looked over the high overpass, and looked at the building diagonally opposite.
In this office building, Gu Qingxia works in the tallest building. The glass curtain wall reflects the sunlight and is very harsh. Nan Siwen put down his hand and looked at the road. It's one thing to have more cars, the key is to have more people. Standing at the intersection and watching for a while, the flow of people coming and going was dizzy.
Nan Siwen felt very stupid.
It's true.
Why do you think that if you go here for a walk, you might meet her?
Stupid!
But it's all coming...... He crossed the road, this intersection was probably the widest intersection in the imperial capital, right? Just crossing the street takes five minutes! He slipped over to the three office buildings where she worked. The closer I got, the more I feel that the building is really high! I heard that this is the best office building in the whole capital. She must be in that kind of big company, sitting in the office and blowing the air conditioner, right? Decent, earn more money.
That's nice.
It's good that she's doing well, it's good.
If she can live well, it will be worth it if he lets her go.
He wandered around the buildings and saw a lot of good cars. The people who came and went between the buildings were in a hurry, as if time was chasing them behind. The women are mostly glamorous, and the men are mostly shirts and ties. A lot of people carry computer bags, and he knows that they contain laptops.
He observed for a while, and vaguely felt that these people were not in the same country as him. They are all from Gu Qingxia's country.
Inside the podium is the mall. He casually walked in, feeling different from the mall he knew. There was no one coming and going, and it was very deserted. Each store is closed and has its own door. Through the glass doors and windows, you can see that it is deserted inside, and there are more clerks than customers.
Nan Siwen wondered, so deserted, can these stores make money? Not yet out of business? Isn't this a cheap place to rent?
He wandered around and saw a shop. There are some leather bags on display in the window, and it looks like a store specializing in leather bags. His heart moved, Gu Qingxia seemed to use such a bag? It's very similar. He paused and walked into the shop.
When you enter the door, you will see a leather sofa in the middle of the store. The clerk is dressed in exquisite clothes with light makeup. When they saw him come in, some people came up to greet him.
Polite, but very detached and not welcoming. Looking at his gaze is even a little cold.
Nan Siwen didn't care. He was just wandering around, and he didn't need to be greeted by others. He saw a bag, which was very similar to Gu Qingxia's. He strode over, picked it up, and looked over the price tag.
After a moment of silence, he put down the bag and looked at the prices of the other bags......
When he walked out of the store, his feet were a little floating. I felt that in the sight of the clerk behind him, in addition to coldness and detachment, there seemed to be ridicule.
He couldn't figure it out, he really didn't understand! Why is a bag worth tens of thousands? Isn't that just a bag? Walking out of the mall, he suddenly shivered from the cold air conditioner into the hot air.
He watched the cars in front of him come and go, people coming and going, glamorous and bizarre.
He remembered Gu Qingxia's bag, Gu Qingxia's clothes, Gu Qingxia's shoes, and Gu Qingxia's car......
He remembered Gu Qingxia's watch, Gu Qingxia's jewelry......
He thought of Gu Qingxia's house...... There was a small room at the entrance of the house, which was about a storage room, and Gu Qingxia decorated it into a cabinet with many lattices. Inside those compartments, there are bags and shoes.
And the money he saved through his hard work for several years was not enough for her to buy a few bags!
He turned around and looked up at the building where Gu Qingxia was. It was the tallest building in the imperial capital. Standing downstairs and looking up, perhaps because of poor vision, I feel as if the white clouds have passed by the roof.
Nan Siwen had never felt so clearly that Gu Qingxia was so far away from him.
He stood in the dust and looked up at her, as if in the clouds.
