9. His illness

As soon as this ruthless sentence came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and April was caught off guard. She had already prepared for the worst, even if Ah Yu was really abolished, she would guard him and take good care of him, but Gu Qingyan obviously didn't leave any room.

April's usual numb expression cracked in shock, worry, and fear, and she suddenly fell off the couch and fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

The man hesitated, April grabbed his trouser leg with weak hands, she looked humble and cowardly and begged: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault in the past, please spare Ah Yu, we will definitely pay back the money, you give me a little more time, give me another month, I will definitely pay it back." ”

She was very frightened, her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and the image of the girl who was so quiet that she could ignore it in her memory slowly became vivid. She will frown, she will be afraid, she will be in pain, she will despair. But these are all for another unworthy man.

The resentment in Gu Qingyan's heart retreated in an instant, because his feelings turned too quickly, and his expression was blank for a moment. He stared quietly at the woman kneeling at his feet, she was really too thin, her joints protruding, and her muscles bulging, as if she would break if he exerted a little force.

When this thought flashed through his mind, his heart ached. Slowly squatting down, he carefully swept her entire face, not even the tiny pores. The woman's face is wrinkled, and her cheekbones are higher, which is really ugly.

Thankfully, she didn't cry.

The man patted her side cheek lightly, and said calmly: "This is the second time you begged me, both times for the same man, and he ...... "Is it really that good?"

April was still the same as before, frozen, her face contorted, and she looked a little silly.

Gu Qingyan quietly pressed the chest that was constantly coming from pain, and continued: "I can let him go, but, as a price, you have to promise me one thing." Seeing that the woman nodded, Qingyan paused, and turned her face a little unnaturally, "It's too late today, you can sleep here for one night, and I'll release you tomorrow." With that, he stood up, turned his back to her, and opened the door first.

"You...... What do you want me to do? April rubbed her sore knees and asked the price in exchange.

The straight back stiffened, and the man didn't look back, only said, "I'll sue you in the future." After speaking, he didn't wait for April to react, and hurriedly stepped out. It looked as if an evil spirit was chasing him from behind. The woman who remained sat on the ground for a while, as if she had not yet come to her senses. She lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips in a daze, not knowing what was in her mind, and a very faint smile stretched out of the corners of her mouth.

At night, Gu Qingyan tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, and knew that Xia Bai should be called. He touched his heart, well, it doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little stuffy. He clenched his fist with one hand, knocked lightly, and knocked again, and it seemed that everything was normal. So why did my heart hurt so much just now? He rolled over and lay on his back, his eyelids tightly closed, still unable to sleep.

He snapped his eyes open, his pupils staring at the snow-white ceiling, as if he was competing with himself.

The dim light in the bedroom gently spreads down, making people involuntarily calm down. I looked sideways at the blue watch on the bedside table, and the hands clearly indicated that it was a quarter past twelve o'clock in the night.

Gu Qingyan subconsciously touched his empty left wrist, and without the cover of the watch, there was a hideous knife cut there. He rubbed the edge of the knife slowly, his eyes deepening.

***

The night's tossing and turning drained the rest of April's energy. After taking a bath, as soon as she got into bed, drowsiness swept over, and within a few minutes, she fell asleep deeply.

She had always slept lightly, and tonight she didn't know if she was so tired that she didn't wake up even when the door of her room was opened. Gu Qingyan walked in with cartoon slippers, stretched out his hand, turned on the bedside lamp, and suddenly, a warm and misty light enveloped the room, and also made the sleeping figure of April come into his eyes.

Seeing that the woman slept sweetly, and he had insomnia, the comparison between the two, the man suddenly became a little angry. He shook off the slippers on his feet and climbed onto the bed. The rooms throughout the villa are oversized and luxurious double beds, and he has always had high requirements for a sleeping environment.

Crawling to April's side, Gu Qingyan wanted to shake her awake with force, but as soon as her hand touched the other party's shoulder, she retracted her strength. April slept on his side, and at this time the ordinary face was facing him, perhaps because of the light, the woman's side face was smeared by the light, which strangely made him feel warm.

I don't know how long I watched her silently like this, although I still couldn't sleep, my heart was no longer anxious. As if sensing something, the woman half-opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw a man lying opposite, she blinked, and there was no focus in her eyes.

Gu Qingyan didn't expect April to wake up suddenly, and was holding her breath a little nervously and expectantly, but she didn't expect the woman to look at him and close her eyes again. He was a little unhappy in his heart, stretched out his index finger and poked the woman's arm, and when the woman opened her eyes again, he said in a low and awkward voice: "Lin April, I seem to be sick, can you help me rub my chest?" ”

April didn't wake up at all, and when she heard him say, she subconsciously reached out and rubbed his chest for a while. The thin eyelids were about to be closed, and as soon as the movements of her hands stopped, someone's fingers poked her arm, and April pressed and rubbed it intermittently.

The chest seemed to be no longer stuffy, and someone narrowed his eyes comfortably. When the woman fell asleep, Gu Qingyan slowly became sleepy. He stroked her brow with a gaze he hadn't even noticed, and finally, quietly slipped back into his room.

Early in the morning, when April woke up according to his biological clock, he didn't remember what happened last night. When she appeared in the living room after dressing, Gu Qingyan was wearing gold-wire glasses, sitting near the window and reading the newspaper. April glanced at a few words in the newspaper, which seemed to be the financial edition.

The man's appearance belongs to the stunning type that shocks people's senses, and at this moment, it is blocked by gold wire glasses, but it has an extra sense of warmth. He glanced up at her lightly, and folded the newspaper in his hand, "Let's have breakfast." ”

April nodded unconsciously, and when Gu Qingyan sat down, she looked at where the breakfast was placed, hesitated for a while, and slowly sat down next to him.

"I don't know if you like Chinese or Western style, so I told Chen's mother to make it all, and you pick what you like to eat."

April lowered her eyebrows and said, "Thank you." ”

Gu Qingyan's brows furrowed imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything, just cut the bacon in his hand elegantly. April knew that Gu Qingyan's upbringing was very good, and he had been since he was a child. She only drank the polenta in her hand intently, and because of her restraint, she didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of affecting the man's appetite.

"That's enough for you?" Gu Qingyan glanced at the remaining rice porridge at the bottom of her bowl. He had been paying attention for a long time, and she was gently stirring the rice porridge with a spoon, and she didn't put it in her mouth at all.

April smiled awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "I'm full." ”

Eating so little? No wonder there are not many taels of meat on his body. Gu Qingyan frowned and thought for a while, "Give me the bowl." ”

April was stunned and silently handed the bowl over. The man's posture of holding the bowl is very beautiful, and the delicate white porcelain pottery bowl makes his hands more and more white and slender. He picked up the clean chopsticks and headed for the various breakfasts placed on the long dining table.

He added a little bit of everything, and in a moment the food in the small white porcelain bowl had formed a small mountain. The man narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and handed the bowl back to April, "You eat all of this for me." ”

The woman swallowed with difficulty, although she didn't eat enough just now, but she really couldn't eat so much. Quietly looked at the man, the other party raised his eyebrows, and smiled provocatively, "If you don't finish eating, last night's promise won't count." ”

As soon as these words came out, April was stunned, picked up chopsticks, and silently struggled with food.

Gu Qingyan on the side put away her smile, and there was a glimmer of light in her narrow and slightly picky phoenix eyes.

After breakfast, Gu Qingyan dialed in front of April, to the effect that Qi Yu would be released. Ten minutes later, his subordinates reported that he had gotten into the taxi back, and of course, the taxi money was posted by his subordinates.

He fulfilled his promise, and he couldn't say whether he regretted or sighed in his heart, but looked at her with deep meaning. April secretly rubbed the sweat of her palms to the corners of her clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and looked directly at the other party: "What do I need to do?" She was referring to last night's deal.

The man glanced at her, withdrew his gaze, took the tie from Chen's mother's hand, and tied the tie for himself elegantly. April stood silently aside, didn't ask any more questions, just waited patiently.

The movements of the man's hands in front of him are very skillful, and he obviously often does it himself, but today he doesn't seem to be in a state, and he still feels dissatisfied after adjusting several angles. He has always disliked people touching him, so this kind of small things in life generally do not need to be interfered with. Taking the time to glance at the woman standing dumbly, he nodded his chin at her, "Do you wear a tie?" ”

April didn't know what was going on, and nodded subconsciously.

"Then you come and help me tie it." Gu Qingyan impatiently pulled off the half-tied tie and stuffed it into April's hand.

Gu Qingyan is very tall, although April is not short among women, but at this moment, he still has to stand on tiptoe a little. He bent over with rare cooperation so that she could continue the movements in her hands. April is very serious and focused, and her eyes are always on the tie, and her movements are gentle and appropriate.

They were very close, and Gu Qingyan's gaze couldn't help but fall to her heart, where there was a whirlpool. A slight tug of the tie caught his attention, and he slowly lowered his gaze to her hand. It was a pair of hands that were not very good-looking, with thin calluses on the fingertips and tiny scars scattered among them. Fortunately, her hands were very skillful, and she tied her bow tie back and forth in a few rounds, and when it was done, she took a few steps back and carefully checked the details.

After checking for a while, she stepped forward again, readjusted the angle of her neckline, and when she felt that it was almost over, she stepped aside, raised her upper eyelids to look at Gu Qingyan, and asked him cautiously, "What do you think?" ”

The man walked up to the mirror and looked at it, stroked the lower edge of his tie slightly, and said casually, "You often tie ties for others?" Then he added, "It's barely okay." ”

April did not doubt him, and replied honestly: "Ah Yu has a few sets of formal clothes that need to be tied with bow ties, and he will learn it over time." Before the words fell, I only heard a cold snort from the man, who seemed to be a little disdainful. April lowered his head, not knowing where he was upsetting him, but this time, the other party didn't lose his temper, and only commanded coldly: "You can go, Mother Chen, send off guests." ”

"Miss Lin, please follow me." The old man, who was about fifty years old, spoke softly and led the way.

April didn't look up, quietly followed behind Chen's mother, walked a few steps, and Gu Qingyan's slightly cold voice came from behind, "What do you want to do, I haven't thought about it yet, and when I think about it, I'll sue you." After saying that, he coughed uncomfortably, "Also, don't tie ties to others in the future." ”

"Okay." April replied briefly and walked out the door.

Gu Qingyan, who stayed in place, touched the tie that had been tied, secretly confused, and almost said to himself: "I'm ...... What are you talking about? "Since he met Lin April again, he has become more and more inexplicable.
