77. Chapter 77
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Gu Qingyan didn't look at April, and she didn't know what her expression was at the moment. He couldn't help but guess what April would say next, but he waited and waited, and the woman next to him didn't say anything.
He was worried and anxious, and turned his head to her and threw out a sentence: "You don't agree, give me a word." ”
What were you thinking about in April?
From this sentence, she finally realized something, it turned out that what he said about always accompanying him turned out to be what he meant.
Lowering her head slightly, the woman's lips pursed, and she just said, "What about Xia Bai?" ”
The man waited expectantly for her answer, only to get such an answer, he didn't understand April's brain circuit for a while.
What happened between them, what happened to Guan Xiabai?
"April, don't talk to others, you just answer me if you want to." He couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows.
In the past, he used to call her by her first name, but since she moved here, he seems to have called her April. She was so sluggish that she didn't understand what he meant until now.
I don't know, it's too late to regret it now.
She thought silently and said softly, "Xia Bai, she likes you." ”
Thinking that she was eating his vinegar with Xia Bai, Gu Qingyan's expression softened a little, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows blended with a shallow smile, he even lowered his voice and patiently explained to her: "I have nothing to do with Xia Bai, you don't need to care about her." ”
Xia Bai mentioned the same thing to her when she was drunk, but even if they weren't together, why did they pull her in?
April's lips squirmed slightly, and she said, "I'm sorry. ”
Still refused, Gu Qingyan's eyes darkened, "Forget it, just because I didn't say it." ”
With that, he got out of bed and was about to leave, when he noticed April reaching out and grabbing the corner of his clothes, he paused, thinking that she had changed her mind.
The smile on his face had not yet spread on his face, but the woman's next sentence made him feel that winter had come early.
She said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you meant, you needed a bed partner instead of a babysitter, and I don't think I could do that." ”
She rejected him twice with "I'm sorry", once to reject his request, and this time to reject him as a person.
The expression on Gu Qingyan's face was a little blank, and he stood in place for a long time before he understood what April meant.
It turned out that the reason why she agreed was to let her be a nanny. He thought it was a little ridiculous, and April's lack of tendons made him happy.
He quickly gathered all his affections, turned around, and looked at her with a blank face, "So, are you leaving?" ”
April was silent, apparently acquiescing.
The man's lips were pursed, his eyes experienced a tsunami, the dark tide was surging, his throat moved slightly, and he said in a deep and ruthless voice: "I don't agree." ”
With that, he walked straight out of the room and slammed the door slammed shut.
A loud sound from the doorframe tapped on her eardrums, and April hung her head, her eyes falling to the corner of the quilt, and if you looked closely, she would see that her eyes were blank.
Gu Qingyan obviously planned to leave April Qiang here, he took advantage of the gap in April to buy food, put away her documents, took out her suitcase, and threw her clothes and suitcases into the trash.
When April returned, she found that her suitcase was missing, and a rare anxious look appeared on her face, which had always been somewhat paralyzed.
At that time, Gu Qingyan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw April busy looking for her box, a trace of perverted happiness quietly appeared in his heart. Feel.
Keep looking, he won't let her go anyway.
Because he searched the whole house and couldn't find her suitcase, April had to find Gu Qingyan and ask him if he had seen her suitcase.
The man didn't think about hiding it from her at all, and just told the truth, and when April heard it, he stomped his feet anxiously, raised his voice and asked him where he threw it in the trash can.
This was the first time she had spoken to him so loudly, Gu Qingyan was a little overwhelmed, and the woman had to repeat again: "Where did you throw it?" ”
"Just the trash can downstairs." He reluctantly opened his mouth.
The woman turned around directly and rushed out, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but get up and follow a few steps, and then stopped again.
He gritted his teeth and thought that this one was getting more and more bold, and he dared to yell at him.
In the end, he was still not at ease, the man struggled in the room for a long time, and still paced downstairs.
At that time, April was rummaging through her clothes one by one by the trash can. Because when Gu Qingyan threw the box, the zipper of the box was opened, and in the process of falling, the clothes inside would inevitably leak out of the box.
He stood aside and watched quietly, every time April turned out a piece of clothing, he would carefully grope for something with his hands, Gu Qingyan looked at it for a long time before estimating that she should be looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" He walked over to April and squatted down.
April didn't look at him, still looking for it, "Hairpin, a butterfly-shaped hairpin." ”
It's just a hairpin, as for showing such a anxious look?
Gu Qingyan's eyes instantly turned cold, but seeing that April was looking so hard, he couldn't help but help her find it together.
The clothes were stained and smelled bad, but the man's brow did not furrow. Two people really looked for it much faster than one person, and it didn't take long for a "pop" sound to hear, and a worn-out box fell out of the clothes.
April was relieved to see the box and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
Open the lid of the box, and there is a delicate butterfly lying quietly, its wings fluttering slightly, and it is no different from the real one if you don't look closely.
A sneer came from his ears: "The style of this hairpin is really old-fashioned, it should be some years old." ”
April pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, just carefully wiped the stains off the box.
Her precious appearance fell under his eyes, and he only felt extremely dazzling.
Was it sent by Qi Yu or by Li Yu? The style is so old, it should be sent by Qi Yu. Gu Qingyan thought wildly, and couldn't wait to snatch the hairpin over and break the wings directly.
Although his heart was like drinking five jars of vinegar, he still pretended to probe: "Actually, this hairpin is quite delicate when you look closely, who gave it to you?" ”
The expression on April's face softened, and a glint flashed in her eyes, "A friend." ”
I'm afraid it's not an ordinary friend. Gu Qingyan wanted to be sarcastic, but he was afraid of angering April, so he could only sulk by himself in the end.
Next, Gu Qingyan didn't mention the topic of moving to his room again, and April still took care of all the housework and became a competent little nanny.
On this day, a strange woman came to the house.
I saw the visitor wearing a sequined dress, leather pants and high heels, and some exaggerated blue-purple eyeshadow, standing outside the door in punk dress.
"Who are you looking for?" April felt as if the woman in front of her had seen it somewhere.
Su Zi hooked the corners of her mouth, "Hello, I'm Su Zi, I have something to tell you." ”
April hesitated for a moment and let her into the house. As soon as Su Qi entered the room, he blinked his eyes and surveyed his surroundings, his right hand with purple nail polish slowly brushing against the wall. She found a lot of people and opened up a lot of relationships before she found Lin April.
I had only seen her in photos before, but this time when I saw a real person, Su Zi found that she looked a little similar to herself.
She sat on the sofa like an old man, crossed Erlang's legs, and stared at April with a straight gaze, "Do you know why I know you?" ”
April stood there and shook her head.
Su Zi nodded her chin, "Sit." The gesture is casual and casual, as if she is the master.
April Yiyan sat down opposite her, and her sitting posture was like two extremes from Su Zi's.
Under the blue-purple eyeshadow, a trace of weirdness flashed in those eyes, Su Zi leaned forward and held her cheeks with both hands, "Then you should always know that there is a woman outside Li Yu." ”
As soon as he heard this, April thought of something, and the lines at the corners of his mouth were a little solemn, "It turns out that that person is you." ”
"You're not too stupid." Su Zi tapped her chin with her fingers, tilted her head and smiled: "Then do you know who asked me to get close to Li Yu?" ”
April was silent for a moment, vaguely knowing who it was.
Su Zi saw her expression and knew that she had already guessed it, so she didn't sell it, "Gu Qingyan asked me to do it, the purpose is to break up you and Li Yu." ”
"Why are you telling me this?" April asked expressionlessly.
Why? Su Zi's smile was meaningful, "Because the person I really like is Gu Qingyan, and Li Yu didn't really cheat, he still has you in his heart." ”
April roughly understood what the other party meant, but-
"I'm sorry, I can't leave here for a while, because his documents are being withheld."
When Su Zi heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, she didn't expect Gu Qingyan to use such a means to keep Lin April.
I thought that I would be able to sit back and relax by handing over Lin April to He Xu, but the result was that He Xu's life and death were uncertain, although she didn't have a deep relationship with He Xu, she still blamed April for this.
"Oh, that's right." Su Zi pretended to shake her head regretfully, "That bothers you, I'll go first." ”
With that, she stood up on her feet and nodded at April.
April followed and stood up, watching Su Zi leave here.
Although she had already guessed that Mother Li had received the anonymous letter from him, she really didn't think that he had done what Su Zi said.
She didn't know why Gu Qingyan was treating her like this, could he be happy if she destroyed her happiness?
When Gu Qingyan came back in the evening, April didn't tell him about Su Zi's coming to her.
Sensing that April was more silent than usual, the man, though confused, did not think much of it.
It's just that he's found it hard to climb into her bed since he asked April to have sex with him. For no other reason, after April learned that he had a spare key, he blocked the door with a cabinet. Of course, he could push the door open with brute force, but in this way, the noise he made was bound to wake up until April.
After several days of insomnia, the dark circles under the man's eyes became heavier.
He brought up the question of her blocking the door at the dinner table, and April drank the porridge sullenly, saying, "I think it's good, and I can sleep peacefully." ”
Well, just to prevent him, Gu Qingyan was depressed.
During the day, Gu Qingyan would go to the company, and the time in April was very empty, so he wanted to return to his old business during the day to make some money. However, her tools were still in Li Yu's villa, and she still needed to go back again.
She left the key to the apartment there when she left, and if she couldn't enter the house, she had to turn to Li Yu for help. At this point in time, he was still at work, and it was not easy to disturb him in April, so he sent him a text message on his mobile phone.
A text message came in quickly, saying, "Where are you, I'll pick you up after work." ”
April could almost imagine that Li Yu's expression when he sent this text message must have been gentle and delicate. He has always been a very gentle person, and if she misses him, she may never meet someone as good as him again in her life.
But between them, separated by his deceased ex-girlfriend and the opposition of his parents, April could not be with him in peace.
April took a deep breath and replied, "Thank you, don't bother you, I'll come over this Saturday." She didn't hit send right away after typing this line, her fingers paused in the air for a few seconds before sending the text message.
This time, Li Yu was slower.
April sat on the sofa and was stunned for a while, and the moment the mobile phone text message rang, she looked down, and Li Yu only sent one word: "Okay." ”
Xia Bai didn't know where she heard the news that she was living with Gu Qingyan, and called April.
As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Bai's sweet voice came: "April, bless you, you are finally together." ”
April was a little confused when she heard this, and subconsciously explained: "You misunderstood, we didn't ......"
Xia Bai interrupted her on the phone: "I know, you are worried about me, so you are embarrassed to admit it." She paused and sighed a little: "Actually, after so many years, I have already figured out that once some people miss it, they will never be able to be there again."
Together. ”
"Summer White ......"
"Seeing that you can be together, I ...... It's a pleasure. Xia Bai on the other end of the phone seemed to be calming down, and changed the topic after a long time: "When are you free, let's come out for a meal, I haven't seen you for a while." ”
"Okay."
The appointment with Xia Bai was at a café in the city center, and when April arrived, Xia Bai was already waiting there.
Seeing April, Xia Bai beckoned to her, smiling sweetly, and there was still a vague shadow of the past. April sat down across from her, and Xia Bai asked her what she wanted to drink, and she shook her head and only asked for a glass of boiled water.
The afternoon sun was lazy and wanton, shining lazily on people, there was no one in the café, and a few clerks began to doze off.
Xia Bai stirred the coffee with a spoon, and after taking a leisurely sip of coffee, he raised his eyes to look at April, "Where are you now?" ”
There was no beginning or end to the question, but April understood.
She said: "Xia Bai, you misunderstood, we are not together. ”
Regarding her explanation, Xia Bai just smiled, obviously not believing it. Seeing that she seemed to think that she was with Gu Qingyan, April was a little speechless.
"Do you know when I reunited with Qingyan?" Xia Bai changed the topic and took the initiative to talk to her about herself.
April was silent, then shook her head.
Xia Bai's eyes fell on the coffee in his hand, and his tone was calm and calm, as if an outsider was talking about his experience over the years.
It turned out that after Xia Bai's family went bankrupt, her father was in prison, and she and Xia's mother depended on each other, but the good times didn't last long, and her mother had a very strict illness that required high surgical fees. At that time, they had no money, and Xia Bai became a nightclub lady in despair, and her stomach disease also fell at that time.
That dark memory, Xia Bai never mentioned it to anyone, including Xiao Li. If she hadn't met Gu Qingyan later and the other party took her away from that place, she might still be struggling there now.
Gu Qingyan not only saved her, but also saved her mother, and Xia Bai has always been grateful to him. Although she still likes him, she feels inferior because of her nightclub experience and feels that she is not worthy of him. The man didn't offer to be with her again, and Xia Bai knew that he was only helping her out of his past friendship.
That was five years ago, and after all these years, the relationship between the two remained pure, and they never went any further.
Xia Bai admitted that she still had hope for him, but this hope was too slim, making her more and more desperate in waiting.
The appearance of April made her finally relieved, and no matter how unwilling she was, she still had to admit that Gu Qingyan already had April's savings in her heart.
Those pains, struggles and confusions were all lightly exposed by Xia Bai, although April did not see it with his own eyes, he could understand how painful Xia Bai was at that time.
A girl who was supposed to be the proud daughter of the sky had nothing overnight, being bullied and insulted, such a huge gap and injury, no one can stand it.
April's heart throbbed and ached, she reached out and put it on the back of Xia Bai's hand, and comforted softly: "It's all over, it's all over." ”
"yes, it's all gone." Xia Bai blinked and blinked away the fog in his eyes.
April felt that Xia Bai was stronger than she imagined.
"Tell me about you, how were your years in prison?" Xia Bai turned the conversation back to April.
It was the first time in April that the question had been asked in years.
She was stunned for a moment and lowered her eyes, "It's good, every day is very regular." ”
