12. Chapter XII
The apartment has been rented out, and Sister-in-law Zhang has also moved home with Fenqiao.
Every day Fen Qiao goes to class, Gu Yan goes to work, and Sister-in-law Zhang cooks and cleans in the house.
Fen Qiao was about to take the college entrance examination during the tense period, Sister-in-law Zhang changed her tricks to make Fen Qiao delicious, although Fen Qiao was still physiologically repulsed, but forced herself to eat some.
Maybe people will really realize that death is terrible at a certain moment when they pass by death.
Fen Qiao started classes at half past seven every day, and he didn't need to get up until half past six, but Gu Yan got up at six o'clock every day. Seven o'clock to the company. Although I live under the same roof, I don't see each other a few times a day.
After Fen Qiao discovered Gu Yan's routine of work and rest, he also got up half an hour early. Anyway, she doesn't sleep much, so what does it matter if she wakes up early?
……
When I woke up, it was dawning, and Sister-in-law Zhang was making breakfast alone in the kitchen.
In the past few days, because Fen Qiao and Gu Yan have different schedules, she has always needed to make breakfast twice.
"Sister-in-law Zhang!" Fen Qiao poked her head out of the kitchen door and smiled at her.
Sister-in-law Zhang was still holding the soup spoon, she was startled by her, and asked with a smile, "Why did Fen Qiao get up so early today?" ”
"I'll wake up so early in the future, and it's so hard to make breakfast twice a morning." Fen Qiao said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Can I help?"
Sister-in-law Zhang had a smile in her eyes, "Of course you can!" She filled the sink with water and handed Fenqiao two lettuces, "Just wash this lettuce." ”
Fen Qiao took the lettuce and carefully washed it one by one.
She has never done housework, she is a little clumsy when she likes to cook, she gets water everywhere, but her expression is extremely serious.
It was so cute, Sister-in-law Zhang smiled, turned her head and continued to fry eggs.
Fen Qiao is much better now than when she first came, Fen Qiao's eyes at that time were gloomy and empty, and she couldn't see a little girl's vitality, but since she lived here, Fen Qiao's eyes have vitality again, and she has seen Fen Qiao smile several times.
The gentleman's decision was right. Adopting Fenqiao and taking her out of her previous repressive life is the best way to treat her.
Maybe when he goes to the imperial capital in the future, goes to a new world, and meets new friends and partners, Fen Qiao's illness will get better and better. The corners of Zhang Yi's lips curled slightly, Fen Qiao is a cute little girl, she should no longer live in the shadow of the past.
Breakfast was placed on the table before Gu Yan went downstairs, Fen Qiao took the knife and fork, sat aside and waited.
When Gu Yancai went downstairs, he saw that the little girl was already sitting at the dining table early.
When I looked up and saw him, I immediately spoke, "Gu Yan!" The voice was reserved, but the corners of the eyes were crooked, and there was some irrepressible excitement.
Fen Qiao was polite and thoughtful to others, but he didn't want to be called Uncle Gu Yan.
In fact, Gu Yan's age is far from the point where she can be called uncle.
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and spoke for Fen Qiao, "Sir, today's breakfast was made by Fen Qiao and me. ”
Gu Yan laughed, "Fen Qiao, why did you get up so early today." ”
"It's going to be the college entrance examination, and I want to go to school early in the future." Fen Qiao pinched the hem of her skirt and nervously watched Gu Yan move her knife and fork.
In fact, during the whole process of making breakfast, Fen Qiao only washed a few slices of lettuce and squeezed tomato sauce in the sandwich.
"Is it delicious?" Fen Qiao's big eyes looked at him expectantly.
"Yes."
In fact, the taste of the sandwich is no different from the past, but Gu Yan really can't bear to refuse the kindness that the child has finally released.
That kind - cautiously tempting and currying favor.
Fen Qiao's depression is very strict, and her psychology is very fragile, and she will completely close herself off if she is not careful.
He gave Fen Qiao a smile. The moment the perennial handsome face smiled, there was a feeling of ice and snow melting, and it almost dazzled Fen Qiao's eyes.
"Why don't you eat it, Fen Qiao?" Gu Yan noticed Fen Qiao's movements, and after a few bites of vegetables, he never sent anything to his mouth again.
Fen Qiao hurriedly looked at him innocently, "I'm already full." ”
Gu Yan's brows furrowed slightly, "Based on the food you just ate, those calories are not enough to support your activities in the morning." ”
"But that's how I usually eat." Fen Qiao retorted in a low voice.
"That's why you have low blood sugar," Gu Yan put down the knife and fork in his hand, and his tone was calm, "I am your guardian now, and I have the responsibility to ensure your good health." ”
Under Gu Yan's silent gaze, Fen Qiao reluctantly picked up the knife and fork again, cut it in small pieces, separated the meat and vegetables, and sent it to his mouth for a long time.
Gu Yan had been quietly waiting at the dining table, and Fen Qiao quietly looked at his watch, half past six.
Usually at this time, Gu Yan had already gone out.
The breakfast on the plate was halfway gone, but Fen Qiao's stomach couldn't hold it anymore. She finally couldn't help but look up and ask, "Don't you have to go to work today?" ”
"When you're full, let's go." Gu Yan picked up the suit jacket behind the chair and strode out first.
This time, Gu Yan's special car sent Fen Qiao to the school before turning around and going to the company.
Gu Yan was late for the first time this morning, and he was twenty minutes late.
There is an elevator in the underground garage that goes directly to the high-rise office, but when Gu Yan enters the office, he is inevitably seen by the people in the secretary's office.
"Am I right? It was Mr. Gu who just went in just now, right? ”
There was a rush in the secretary's room, and all the breakfast and cosmetics on the table were hastily received under the table.
"Didn't Mr. Gu arrive at the company on time at seven o'clock three hundred and sixty-five days a year, rain or shine? He hadn't come at seven o'clock, and I thought he was on a business trip. The pink-clad beauty at the head cried and hid the half-eaten macarons in a drawer.
Everyone thought that Gu Yan's time was always calculated to the minute, and they had already understood it in the past year.
Someone lowered his voice, "Hey, you said that Mr. Gu will not deduct his salary if he is late, he personally stipulates that he will cancel his full attendance once he is late, and he will deduct five hundred for being late for more than ten minutes." Mr. Gu was twenty minutes late today. ”
"Come on, don't look at what our surname Gu is, isn't the deducted money still his?" Some scoffed.
"Anyway, how could Mr. Gu be late, he can't oversleep, right?"
"Maybe I have a girlfriend..."
"It's even more outrageous than oversleeping!" The person who spoke was immediately interrupted and glared at, "Don't you know what attributes we have in Gu?" Whenever there has been a female creature around me, I suspect that we Gu is always not bent......"
"Uh-huh—"
Liang Tezhu cleared his throat at the door of the secretary's room, "Mr. Gu said that he was chatting with a deduction of wages......"
Everyone chatting in the secretary's room immediately fell silent and buried their heads in the computer.
……
The fiery sun hung in the sky, and the asphalt road was roasted with smoke. I know that I can't stop screaming in the sycamore, and I am stuffy, anxious and bored.
It was the hottest exam season of the year, and Fen Qiao was lucky, and the test center of the college entrance examination was divided into the familiar Yunnan University High School.
Outside the gate of the high school, there were parents waiting for the exam. From a distance, it was crowded with people, everyone's heads were full of sweat, and their anxious eyes were not moving, staring at the direction of the examination room.
It's cooler under the shade of the trees, but it's just that the feng shui treasure is so crowded that it is almost impossible to stand up.
……
Gu Yan sat in the car, a little sullen by the air conditioner, and raised his hand several times to look at his watch.
Fen Qiao should have been in the exam room for more than an hour.
After a while, Gu Yan closed the above jiàn, raised his head helplessly, and said, "Liang Tezhu, confirm the next itinerary again." ”
Liang Ze was surprised, Gu Yan's memory has always been very good, and he will not forget the itinerary within an hour. This has never happened to Gu Yan.
SURPRISED IN HIS HEART, BUT HIS FACE WAS NOT REVEALED, LIANG ZE TURNED ON THE IPAD.
"Before three o'clock to Guandu to inspect the plant, before three forty to end the return, four o'clock the company's high-level regular meeting, four o'clock to inspect the project team, to confirm the market volume of new research and development products, five o'clock ......"
"The itinerary after three o'clock will be pushed back, and the regular meeting will be changed to eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and the next two hours will be moved, and now I will turn around and go to the attached middle school."
"Mr. Gu ......" Liang Ze was stunned.
Gu Yan waved his hand, ignoring the inquiry in Liang Ze's eyes, and asked a question that had nothing to do with it. "Liang Tezhu, how old is your child?"
"It's almost three years old..."Liang Ze replied, only to smile a few times, the child has been taken by his wife since he was born, the child is forgetful, and occasionally when he returns to the imperial capital, he doesn't let her hug her, and he can't remember his father at all.
"When your child takes the college entrance examination, I will consider giving you leave."
That's still far away, Liang Ze was funny, but he also turned around happily and said, "Then I'll thank Mr. Gu for my daughter in advance." ”
Maybe this exam is not the most important moment in Fen Qiao's life, but Gu Yan wants to stand outside the exam room like all parents.
It may not be that he has a deep relationship with Fen Qiao in a short period of time, he just remembers, and perhaps he had looked forward to it when he was young, that there is such a person who stays outside the examination room and shares the test results and joy and anger as soon as he finishes the exam.
But there has never been a time, no matter how big or small the exam is, there will always be only the driver and Liang Tezhu waiting at the school gate.
He was very weak to any feelings, and perhaps it was from that time. From then on, he could put reason out of emotions and analyze everyone and everything with a clear mind forever.
What Fen Qiao needs is not a superior living condition, she is fragile and sensitive, lacks trust in people, and it is easy to erect her claws and close her heart.
Gu Yan wanted to cure her, so he couldn't spare time.
……
Without waiting for the bell to ring for the end of the exam, Fen Qiao packed up his things and stood up to hand in the papers.
This time it was in English, and although her brain had been aching suddenly in the second half of the exam, she still answered the entire test paper smoothly.
The air conditioner was turned on in the examination room, but it gave Fen Qiao a headache, and before he left the examination room, a heat wave hit the air, alternating between hot and cold, and Fen Qiao's head hurt even more.
She walked slowly to the stairwell, resting her forehead lightly against the wall on the left side of the stairs, the after-effects of the car accident were frequent migraines. Sometimes Fen Qiao wondered if this was God's punishment for her suicide attempt, living forever in pain and confusion caused by headaches.
"Fen Qiao!" He Kun's surprised voice came from behind him, "Have you also handed in the papers?" ”
Soon, he noticed that Fen Qiao's face was pale and something was wrong, "Did you have a headache again?" ”
After the car accident, He Kun went to the hospital to see Fen Qiao several times, he didn't know that Fen Qiao tried to commit suicide, he only thought that Fen Qiao had an ordinary car accident, and he only knew that his little uncle and Fen Qiao's father used to be friends.
And Gu Yan adopted Fen Qiao.
He was naturally happy for Fen Qiao, and no one knew better than him the Gu family's intricate power and influence in Huaxia. The world only looks at the amazing wealth of the Gu family, but they don't know that the real Gu family is like a big tree entrenched in China, the big tree is towering, and the depth of root penetration is unimaginable.
Gu Yan concealed his identity and pretended to be an ordinary Gu disciple to come out to practice, but secretly there were many people who protected his safety. Fen Qiao was adopted, and his life is the biggest reliance.
"Does it still hurt?"
Fen Qiao was silent, but his frowning eyebrows answered He Kun's question.
He Kun put his hand on Fen Qiao's temple, "I'll help you massage, my mother occasionally has a headache..."
