Chapter 16: The Cruel Reality

Bei Bei felt that the bicycle was moving faster and faster, and the late autumn wind was blowing on her face. Turning his head into his chest, he listened to the constant throbbing of his heart, and the hand that grabbed his clothes tightened.

Listening to the constant sound of brakes, horns and scolding in his ears, Gu Beibei's heart was also not calm. Chasing four wheels on two wheels is also a loss to this stupid man to come up with, such a fast speed, I hope there will be no more car accidents, she doesn't want to die again, it hurts too much.

Eventually, they saw the sedan in front of the brightly lit hotel, but there was no one in the car that he was looking for.

This European-style building is familiar to people in T City, standing in the city for decades, after the baptism of artillery fire and special years, this small western-style building presents its unique charm. Eventually, it was transformed into a hotel, which can be considered the calling card of the city.

Gu Xiangnan had a meeting with the leaders of the bureau once before, and he was very impressed. Spacious hall with neat and bright floors; Classical furnishings, decoration with consistent colors; Rigorous and atmospheric layout, the image of strong style is reflected in the hearts of all people in the city.

This place has become a designated place for public offices to hold meetings and entertain guests, and they will come here for big and small affairs and dinners. Gradually, it became a high-end consumption place, a symbol of status, and ordinary people rarely came.

The most important thing in such a place is the waiter with the nose and eyes facing up, for a small person like him, he doesn't feel comfortable in such an environment, he only feels uncomfortable and looks out of place, and he won't want to step into the second time if he comes once.

Gu Beibei looked at the man who was sitting silent for nearly an hour, feeling a little cold when the autumn wind blew, and rubbed his arms helplessly. She gently tucked her small hand into his big hand: "For as long as I can remember, there are usually only two of us in the family, so there is nothing wrong with this, I have long gotten used to it." Daddy, let's go home. ”

Gu Xiangnan looked at her bright big eyes, and suddenly felt that what she said was very sharp, and she cut it into her heart. Regardless of the strength and dignity of a man, he cried out in pain, like a child abandoned by time.

Self-deception can only be temporary, not for a lifetime. This realization made him feel painful.

Gu Beibei understands such a feeling, because she has also felt it. These are tears of despair and sadness that can only be empathized with if you have experienced them in real life. Now he doesn't need any comforting words, because he is too weak and pale, just listen quietly.

She also knew that her words were cruel, but if she didn't cut it off with a knife, the subsequent damage might be even greater. She has never been a pleasant person, because she is used to telling cruel truths, and white lies can certainly comfort for a while, and if she is found to be embarrassed, she will have one more self.

She can't tell lies, and she doesn't want to be the maker of lies.

In the low-hanging night, only the men's suppressed cries of pain seemed abrupt. Gu Beibei didn't care about other people's eyes, she stayed by his side, patting him on the back at once, just like when he comforted her to sleep.

Gu Xiangnan slowly calmed down, touched her frozen little face, and asked in a thick nasal voice, "When did Bei Bei know?" She...... When did I take you to see him? What kind of person is he? Did she ask who you would be with in the future? ”

Gu Beibei sighed, sat next to him and said the picture he remembered in his mind: "It seems that when I was four and a half years old, I saw it once at home." Not as handsome as you, it's a look I don't like. He reached out to touch Beibei's head, dodged it, and kicked him. After that, Beibei was locked up in a small dark room, and then basically never saw her. But today he is a reviewer, and the position is the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

Gu Xiangnan exclaimed: "Xu Ming, director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee? Four and a half years old, in our house? It turned out that the previous rumors were not all false. ”

He knew that Xu Ming was because of their director's chatter every day, a few years ago, this man parachuted into the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and his young and high-ranking position always led people to explore, and the leaders of various units revealed his deep background intentionally or unintentionally, and no one did not buy it. He was a small police officer who forgot about gossip and forgot it, thinking that this life must be irrelevant, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven.

He pityfully lifted Beibei's hair that he didn't know when: "Is it because of this that you have always been reluctant to get close to your mother and not want to speak?" How can you remember so long, is there anything else that Dad doesn't know? Why don't you say it. Oh my God, how derelict I was. ”

Gu Beibei looked at the man who fell into sadness and self-blame again, sighed heavily, and then patted him on the shoulder and said indifferently: "You are a good father, you are not derelict in your duty at all, those things are over, it's so cold here, let's go home." ”

Gu Xiangnan looked back at the brightly lit place, and the hotel's service staff had been paying attention to this side, looking vigilant. Suddenly, he saw the driver walk out of the gate, and there was nothing behind him; I saw him driving past the two of them with a proud expression, and the speed was very fast.

Gu Beibei spat rudely, stood up suddenly, and pulled his hand hard in the direction of the bicycle. It's the first time anyone dares to let her smell car exhaust when she's grown up like this, and it's good, she remembers.

"Babe, will you" Before he could finish speaking, Beibei rudely interrupted.

"No, I don't want to, I'll always be your daughter." She doesn't like to be asked, especially about things she doesn't want to talk about. Besides, she hates hypothetical either-or, and the question of who parents are going to follow after divorce is a cruel question in itself.

Gu Xiangnan looked at the angry villain, paused for a while, looked back at the brightly lit world, and silently picked up Bei Bei and put her on the railing: "Okay, girl, let's go home." Thank you, good to have you. ”

Gu Beibei took one last look at the place that was similar to the prosperity of the previous life, and slowly blurred and faded, and finally only a little light disappeared.

At this time, there was a lot of love in the hotel suite, and it was impossible to imagine that the lie had been exposed, and the already fragile house had collapsed.

Guo Huiying lay in Xu Ming's arms, playing with her hair absently, frowning or sighing.

Xu Ming grabbed her hand and said, "Why sigh, do you know in advance that you are unhappy on the list?" Or does my sudden appearance make you feel burdened? ”

Guo Huiying shook her head: "No, I'm just having a headache about Beibei." Today in the locker room, many people are talking about Beibei's stupidity, and they say that it is because I have done something wrong to repay Beibei. I don't know, is it because I'm sorry for Gu Xiangnan, so the genius punished me like this. ”

Xu Ming turned over and faced Guo Huiying: "Huiwen, how can you have such an unscientific concept?" A child's intelligence is predestined from birth, and besides, I saw her today, and those eyes don't look like those of a stupid child. Besides, I was sorry for you first, and then I also tempted you to betray your family, if there is retribution against me. ”

Guo Huiying covered his mouth and said, "I'm not allowed to say that, bah, bah, or Jitailai." ”

Xu Ming's rare good-natured follow her and snorted three times: "Can you not go back tonight?" The thought of you lying next to other men hurts my heart, liver, spleen and lungs. ”

Guo Huiying looked at her watch and said reluctantly: "I can still accompany you for an hour, I have to go back, I ran out without saying hello today, if you find it, it will be troublesome, and it will not affect you well." I know you're uncomfortable, but he's legally my husband, and I'm to blame for it. However, I have rarely asked him to touch me in recent years. ”

"Really?" Xu Ming was very happy to know this news, and said that it was a lie if he didn't care, after all, it was his beloved. He turned over and pressed her down, and kissed her fiercely: "If I had known that you had gone back to look for it, I would never have gotten married, let alone let you go." All three of us are wrong, it's just that the world is impermanent, and you don't have to be burdened. ”

Guo Huiying hugged his neck: "You know, I never lie to you." Yes, it's all about the impermanence of the world. I'll be able to transfer to J City in the spring of next year, and we'll be together every day. ”

"Next year's events are empty checks now, you know I'm a doer, now you have to compensate me."

The two laughed together, continuing the stolen warm time, with strong enthusiasm
