48. Chapter 48
He was startled by this thought, Gu Qingyan no longer felt sleepy, and hurriedly got up, wanting to avoid the woman's face. Just as he was about to step out of the room, as if he had thought of something, he retracted his steps and walked back slowly. The woman on the bed was very obedient, and he didn't open his eyes when he made such a big noise, but his eyelids twitched slightly.
Since there is no sleepiness, there is no need for her to sleep with her. But the appearance of the woman not daring to open her eyes was quite funny, and looking at her eyelashes trembling slightly, his heart began to itch again.
It shouldn't be anything to touch, thinking like this, he slowly stretched out his hand.
April was closing her eyes, not sure what the other party wanted to do, and it wasn't until her eyelashes were pulled again and again that she realized what the other party was doing. Hesitating, she slowly opened her eyes, after all, she didn't want her eyelashes to be plucked out. In his eyes, the man was lying on the head of the bed, looking at her without blinking, and his right hand was slowly retracted and placed behind him.
"Can't sleep?"
"Hmm."
"Then you go out, this is my room." The man rolled over and lay next to her, his hands crossed behind his head, stretching his body, and leisurely turning his head to look at her.
April blinked, and the other party's back and forth made her hesitate, for fear that he would change his mind in the next second and toss her in a different way. The man looked at her with interest in a loose attitude, and even a smile lifted up the corner of his mouth. April stared at him for a few seconds before finally deciding to get up.
Because the other party was by her side, April had to pass over him, but the other party only smiled at her quietly, and had no intention of getting up at all. She thought about it several times in her head, and finally, she was going to step over in front of him. Anyway, it's easy to work for a second. After making up her mind, she propped herself on the bed with her hands, and slowly moved towards him like a turtle.
From beginning to end, Gu Qingyan only looked at her with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and did not speak. When April put her hand next to him and straddled one of her legs, trying to pass over him, his eyes flashed and he bent his knees. In the next moment, the woman was unstable and fell straight on top of him.
April didn't know why, her body would fall uncontrollably, and when she realized who was pressing under her, she got up in a panic and apologized vigorously. As soon as she raised her head, she met the other party's stunned and incredulous gaze, she lowered her head in some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
After waiting for a long time, and not waiting for the man's voice to come, April couldn't help but raise his face and whispered, "Are you injured?" She seemed to hear his muffled snort as she fell, and although she wasn't heavy, she might have had any accidents.
She asked carefully and worriedly, Gu Qingyan had no smile on her face for a long time, and her eyes were dark, looking at her thoughtfully. After a long time, he waved his hand and regained his coldness, "You go out." ”
April was about to say something, but the man looked at her, and she suddenly lost her voice.
That look was extremely complicated, cold and disgusting, a gaze she hadn't seen for a long, long time, but it was also a gaze that had always existed in her memory.
He's still hating her. There was a faint bitterness in her heart, she withdrew her gaze, and said in a low voice I will go out first, and then left in a hurry. She didn't know that after she left, the man slowly lifted the thin quilt, his eyes fell on a certain part of his body, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
How so? His body would have felt for her, a woman he had never cared about.
Sure enough, if you are sick, your heart will ache, and your body will betray your sense of self and become uncontrollable. Thinking of a woman with a blank expression, he suddenly felt a little annoyed, not knowing whether he was angry with her or himself.
Since that day, I don't know if it's April's illusion, Gu Qingyan seems to be deliberately avoiding her. Except for a brief time during meals, the rest of the time he disappeared from her field of vision, and he didn't know what he was doing. I vaguely knew that the other party seemed to be angry, but she didn't know where she had offended him, and if it was accidental physical contact that day, she also apologized.
Without a man by her side, April returned to her previous state of being alone, occasionally chatting with Sister-in-law Li about some family matters, and most of the time, she silently practiced typing or watching TV with the remote control. Although the computer is connected to the wireless network, she can also watch TV, but she is not used to it, and still likes to watch all kinds of TV programs in front of the TV.
A month passed quickly, and the man's sleepwalking seemed to be healed, and he never came to her room to sleep again. April was very happy, after all, sleepwalking was a problem, and she was sincerely happy for him when he was cured.
Later, Gu Qingyan returned to the company and left April here, only coming back once or twice for a long, long time. Occasionally, Sister-in-law Li would ask her what had happened between her and Mr. Gu, and April remembered that morning when she woke up with a man, her scalp was a little numb, so she casually passed it perfunctorily.
She is very adaptable, and she has long been accustomed to Gu Qingyan's uncertainties, but she still hasn't figured out whether the other party is still angry.
Gu Qingyan never appeared, and April didn't think much about it, just thinking about when he could leave. It's not a big deal to think about it, the last time she met He Xu, she can only be regarded as unlucky, she is just a small person, how could He Xu put time on her. For the sake of safety, she still called Xiao Li.
On the phone, Xiao Li asked her with interest how she had been in the past two months, April thought about it and told the truth, and then, a muffled laugh came from the other party's throat.
"I can't see it, Gu Qingyan's kid is quite affectionate, when I was in high school, I saw that you had a general relationship, but I didn't expect to know that something happened to you, and he hid you without a sound."
"Well, he's fine."
"By the way, do you have anything to do with me, it's really rare, you will take the initiative to call me." It's a real rarity.
April thought that it was really like that, and his face couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Haha, I'm kidding, stop spitting, say, what's the matter?"
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask about something."
At the mention of He Xu, Xiao Li was suddenly a little silent, and he didn't have the heart to read the file in front of him, thinking that April was still waiting on the phone, so he said: "He Xu's case has long been out of my charge." ”
Although she didn't face to face, she could sense the loneliness in Xiao Li's words.
"Is something wrong?" April was a little worried.
"It's not convenient for you to know the specifics." The man came back to his senses, smiled, and then said, "By the way, you don't need to be afraid now, I don't have a threat to He, and he won't embarrass the people around me anymore." ”
After getting the news she wanted, April didn't feel very happy, she could feel the loss of Xiao Liqing on the phone, and wanted to be comforted, but she didn't know where to speak. Before hanging up the phone, April mentioned: "Xiao Li, let's invite you to dinner another day." ”
"What's wrong?" The man sensed something sensitively.
"No, I just want to say goodbye." She is used to being alone, but people and things in the past always have a beginning and an end.
On the phone, Xiao Li was quiet for a long time and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
April replied honestly: "I don't know, I just want to change the environment, for so many years, I haven't gone out seriously to take a good look at the outside world." ”
"That's right." The man groaned, and after a moment, he spoke again, with a free and easy voice, "When the time comes, I'll send you off when you leave, and when you get to the new place, change your phone number, don't forget to send the new number." ”
"I will." April said solemnly.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to work, take care of yourself."
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li put the phone back in his pocket, feeling a little bored, and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. Straighten out the files on the table, put them back in their place, and get up to put on the coat that hung on the chair.
"Boss, are you out?"
"Well, just walk around and breathe."
"It's going to rain outside, so let's take an umbrella outside."
Xiao Li looked at the sky outside, but at three o'clock, the sky had already darkened, and there was a faint look like heavy rain was coming. Pushing open the window and standing in front of the window looking at the dark scenery in the distance, he didn't feel a little distracted.
It's been 10 years.
Because she had no worries, she should eat and drink in April, eat and sleep well, and when Gu Qingyan came back, she gained weight again. Her skin was already pale, nourished by Sister-in-law Li's various nutritious soups, and in just a few months, her complexion was very different from before. Therefore, after not seeing her for a while, Gu Qingyan noticed the change in the woman at first sight, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In the past two months, he has begun to rely on red wine and sleeping pills again, but Rao is like this, he still does not sleep well, often wakes up at night, and then is in a long daze. He began to miss, the smell of April, the reassuring smell of him. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he would come over and stay for a day or two, look at her from afar, and then force himself to leave.
Faintly, he felt that this woman was his poison, and once he was infected, he couldn't quit. But how could he allow himself to be infatuated with someone, not to mention, this woman was none other than Lin April.
April was stunned when she saw him come back suddenly, with a smile on her face that had not faded. He glanced at the TV, where there was a vulgar soap opera, and he only glanced at it a few times before he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, unable to understand what was so funny about such a TV series.
Sensing the flickering unhappiness on the man's face, April turned off the TV, stood up, and waited silently, "You're back." ”
Gu Qingyan didn't reply, calmly and silently looked at her from head to toe. April took a few steps back uncomfortably and lowered her head, avoiding the other's gaze. I haven't seen it for a while, and the man's temperament is even colder, and there is no vivid expression on his snow-white face, like a delicate lifeless ice sculpture.
April had the illusion that the man who had pestered her a while ago was just a fantasy she had made, and not a real being.
After a long time, he pursed his lips and said slowly, "You seem to be doing well for a while. ”
