78. Chapter 78

April told the truth, prison life was lackluster, and there was nothing to talk about. Eating, sleeping, labor reform, daily life is in order, and there is no need to think about anything. In the beginning, she would count the days of her release from prison, but later, the long time made people's hearts gradually numb, and she even thought that there was nothing to be afraid of staying in prison for the rest of her life.

In the end, she still came out.

Although April said it simply, Xia Bai felt that if it was her, she would definitely go crazy.

Xia Bai learned the news of April's imprisonment from Xiao Li, and Xiao Li didn't know the specific reason, only said that it was related to Gu Qingyan. But April is a taboo on the man's side, Xia Bai wanted to inquire, but under Gu Qingyan's cold gaze, he still didn't ask.

At this moment, the person concerned was sitting opposite her, Xia Bai hesitated for a long time, and finally asked his own question: "April, what happened back then?" ”

Back then, April slowly squinted her eyes, "Time has passed so long, I've forgotten about it." ”

Xia Bai knew that she didn't want to say it, and she didn't insist on asking, after all, it was a bad past, and no one would be willing to take the initiative to mention it.

The two sat in the café for a while, and halfway through Xia Bai answered a phone call, it was Xiao Li calling.

Xia Bai also had no intention of hiding April, and picked up the phone in front of April.

"Hey, big pear, I'm drinking coffee with April......" Xia Bai's voice was already sweet, and he was talking to Xiao Li on the phone without hurry at the moment, and his voice was as soft as honey.

April took a sip of boiled water in his cup and stayed quietly.

On this call, Xia Bai made a call for nearly half an hour.

When the phone hung up, she remembered that there was such a person as April, and suddenly smiled at her a little embarrassedly: "It was Xiao Li who called, and he said that he would come to pick me up later." ”

April looked at her with an inquiring eye, "You ......"

Xia Bai smiled and nodded: "I'm with Xiao." ”

The news was a bit sudden, and after April digested it for a few seconds, he said, "Congratulations." She still felt a little shocked in her heart, she never thought that Xia Bai and Xiao Li would be together.

"You ...... Since when? ”

"It was when I was in the hospital." Xia Bai took a spoon and scooped up a sip of coffee, "At that time, Xiao Li confessed to me, and I agreed." With that, she curled her eyes and drank her coffee with enjoyment.

April was shocked when she heard it, Xiao Li hid it so well, she didn't see that he actually liked Xia Bai. She couldn't help but think back to the past, but still didn't find any clues, so she had to give up.

It didn't take long for Xiao Li to arrive at the café, and when he saw April, he was concerned: "Are you okay with Gu Qingyan's guy, did he bully you?" ”

Even Xiao Li thinks she is with Gu Qingyan?

April opened her mouth to explain, but Xia Bai grabbed Xiao Li's arm and tugged at it: "April is more shy, don't ask her this question." ”

Xiao Li let out an "oh" and squeezed his eyes with April: "Then Xia Bai and I will leave first, and my brothers are still waiting to see their sister-in-law." ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and it turned out that Xia Bai had twisted him. Glancing at Xia Bai's disgusted eyes, Xiao Li smiled, turned his head and said, "April, let's contact again when you have time, bye." ”

"Bye-bye."

Looking at the backs of the two of them, April blinked slowly, happy for them.

When she returned home, April was surprised to find that the house seemed to be in a strong wind, and no part of the house was tidy.

She didn't know what had happened here during the time she had been away.

"You're back." A slightly loose male voice came from the corner.

April looked at it, only to find that Gu Qingyan was shrunk in the corner of the sofa, her hair was fluffy, her eyes were foggy, and she had obviously just woken up.

She nodded, then pointed to the ground again, and said, "How-"

Gu Qingyan interrupted her sensibly: "I still have to ask you, why is the house so dirty." ”

April looked at him stunned, wanting to say that she didn't know either, but under the other party's glare, she silently changed her words: "I'll clean it now." ”

Gu Qingyan stared at her back, her brows furrowed deeply. I was happy to come back early and wanted to take April out for a yo-hop, but it turned out that the person was not there. His first reaction at that time was whether she was going to find Li Yu and wanted to call her, but he was inexplicably awkward in his heart, and finally he could only deliberately mess up the house and wait in the house with his eyes blank.

April didn't pay attention to his gaze and patiently began to clean the room. Gu Qingyan nestled on the sofa and looked unhappy again, he got up and followed behind April, reaching out and snatching the broom from her hand.

His eyes flashed at Shang April's puzzled gaze, "If you want to go out in the future, you must clean the house before you go out, do you know?" ”

"yes, I see." Although she didn't know why the house was so messy.

Gu Qingyan looked away, wrinkled her eyebrows and glared at the broom in her hand, "Forget it today, I'll ask the hourly worker to come and clean it." He shoved the broom into April's hand and made an unhappy call to the housekeeping company.

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at April and asked casually, "Where did you just go?" ”

"Oh, Xia Bai asked me out for coffee." April answered honestly.

When the man heard this, his heart was relieved, and his body was no longer as tense as before, "If you want to go out in the future, give me a call." ”

April listened to it, and felt weird, but still nodded: "Oh, okay." ”

Gu Qingyan saw her submissive appearance, and somehow he was a little upset, and he said in a bad tone: "The hourly worker will come in a while, remember to open the door for her." With that, he turned and went back to his room, slamming the door shut.

April blinked in place, a little confused, was he angry?

Because he doesn't like to tangle his character, April quickly puts the man's abnormality behind him.

It was fast to Saturday.

When I went out in April, I remembered what the man said about calling him to say something, so I hesitated. She remembered that the reason why she and Li Yu broke up was because the man was behind her back. Sometimes I also wonder if Mother Li didn't know that she had been in prison, and without Mother Li's opposition, she and Li Yu wouldn't have broken up.

However, there is no if.

She put away her phone and took the bus to Li Yu's apartment.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when I got there. Returning to the place where he once lived with Li Yu again, April's mood has changed a lot. She took a deep breath and rang the apartment doorbell.

In the next moment, the door was opened from the inside.

Li Yu appeared at the door, his face was thin and sven, and there was no change from before.

"You're here." He lowered his eyes to look at her, and a trace of hidden pain quickly crossed his gaze.

"Hmm." Meeting again, April didn't know what to say.

Li Yu turned sideways, "Come in and talk about it." ”

April nodded and walked in beside Li Yu.

She has lived here for more than two months, and the layout of the house has not changed anything, but she has changed from a host to a guest.

Li Yu made her a cup of tea and sat down across from her.

"April, what the hell happened that night?" He was referring to the sudden disappearance on the day April left.

April lowered her head and said softly, "I've had a little trouble, but it's over." ”

Li Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what have you been ...... lately?" How are you doing? ”

"It's good."

Li Yu let out an "oh" and said, "April, ...... between us"

The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Li Yu's words, April was stunned, glanced at Li Yu with some apologies, and then got up and walked to the side.

Looking down, the call was from Gu Qingyan.

April's heart jumped, and he paused for a few seconds before picking up the phone.

"Hello?"

Gu Qingyan raised her head and looked at the window of the apartment through the car window.

"April, are you still home?"

There was silence on the phone for half a second, and then a woman's familiar voice came: "Hmm. ”

With a sudden tightening of his hand, the man's face was gloomy, he opened the car door and stepped out of the car, closing the car door with a "bang".

"Lin April, give you a minute, and give me downstairs immediately." After squeezing out this sentence word by word, he hung up the phone directly.

Leaning against the car, Gu Qingyan's mood was irritable, and he couldn't wait to catch the woman by his side and question her properly. obviously said that he would call him to report when he went out, but he secretly came to see his old lover, if he hadn't secretly sent someone to keep an eye on her, would he have to wait for them to secretly cross Chen Cang before he was the last to know.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the man's temples were bruised, and his expression was black as if he had been splashed with ink.

Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, April seemed to think of something, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked downstairs.

At the same time, Gu Qingyan was also looking at her.

It was a little far away, April couldn't see his expression clearly, but she knew that the man was looking at her, and that kind of real gaze made her heart tighten slightly, and her hand shook, and the curtain closed again.

Li Yu's somewhat puzzled voice came from behind him: "What's wrong?" ”

April came back to her senses and said to him, "I'm leaving." ”

"So fast?" Li Yu was disappointed.

April barely managed to squeeze out a smile at him, "Is my pancake cart still there?" ”

Li Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he nodded at her and said, "It's still there, I'll help you get it." ”

As he spoke, Li Yu turned around slowly and walked towards the small warehouse where the sundries were placed.

April's eyes were a little wandering, she didn't know how to explain to the man when she went downstairs for a while, and the other party was angry at every turn recently, and she didn't know what would be waiting for her for a while.

Thinking wildly, Li Yu pushed her simple tricycle out.

April was about to go over to pick it up, Li Yu reached out to block her hand, and his voice was as gentle as before: "Where do you live now, I will drive these tools to you." ”

"No need." April couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she remembered that the man was still waiting downstairs.

Although there was no expression on her face, Li Yu sensitively noticed the change in her feelings, and he was silent for a moment, a little insisting: "Then I'll help push the cart downstairs." ”

April pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed.

The tricycle was stuck in the elevator, a little crowded, and as the elevator landed, April's heart was somehow a little nervous.

She had just lied to the man, but she didn't expect the lie to be exposed so quickly.

When the two walked out, Gu Qingyan saw Li Yu beside April at a glance, he suddenly stood up straight, and his eyes swept towards April and them.

Li Yu also saw him and couldn't help but stop in place.

This was the second time he had seen Gu Qingyan, the other party was obviously here for April, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look sideways at April.

The woman was obviously a little overwhelmed, and a slight apprehension appeared on her face.

Gu Qingyan strode towards her, his eyes fixed on April, for a long time, he opened his lips, with a strange tenderness in his eyes: "Why are you only coming down now, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
