Chapter Seventy-Two: Sharing the Pain

Although I was very happy to see Gu Ruoyan, my joke still embarrassed her, and I couldn't help but deeply regret my frivolity. I thought: Tang Qian! The woman opposite you is your benefactor, if she hadn't taken care of you, you might have been unemployed for half a year, let alone transferred to the company's planning department. What a woman she is! It can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness. Just because she treats you like this, you should respect her and repay her! Treat her like a relative. Now that she has something to ask you, you can't happily agree, and you still say such nonsense, it's really undeserved!

I retracted my smile and said seriously and sincerely, "I'm sorry manager, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to;;;;;; Just kidding, I didn't want to offend you, but you don't take it seriously! ”

Gu Ruoyan also quickly recovered from her shyness, she nodded and said, "I understand you, I can't guarantee others, but you and I can believe it!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be looking for you. ”

I saw that Gu Ruoyan didn't blame me and trusted me very much, so I was relieved. He took another puff of his cigarette. Gu Ruoyan suddenly remembered something, stood up and said, "By the way, I also bought a lot of fruits!" Tang Qian: What do you like to eat? There's bananas, oranges, apples, and a bunch of American grapes, and I'll wash them for you. ”

I hurriedly said, "Hey! No, I don't care, it's good to have a cigarette to smoke. Gu Ruoyan was willing to listen, and ran into the kitchen to wash the fruit.

I was helpless, I stretched out my hand and looked at my watch, it was half past ten in the evening, and when Gu Ruoyan fell asleep, what time would it be?

Not long after, Gu Ruoyan came over with a pot of washed fruit and diligently persuaded me to eat it. I had no choice but to take a sweet orange, peel it and eat it.

Gu Ruoyan leaned on the sofa with her legs bent and happily watched me eat. When I was done, she peeled another banana and handed it to me, "Come, eat more, eat another banana!" I had to take it and eat it again. She didn't wait for me to finish the banana, but she actually picked up another apple and peeled it with a fruit knife.

Seeing her busy and serious appearance, I couldn't help but feel a sour nose. I guess she must have been alone for so long that it was so exciting to have someone to talk to her now, and to do the work of serving people so much, it was so pitiful!

Gu Ruoyan said while peeling the apple: "Tang Qian, can you come early tomorrow night?" I'll cook a few good dishes to thank you, my level of cooking, but it's very good, how about it? ”

I groaned for a moment, but didn't answer for a moment. Gu Ruoyan immediately thought of it: "Oh, by the way, you are a person with a girlfriend, not only can you not accompany her at night, but you can't even be together during meal time, will your girlfriend have an opinion?" ”

I smiled wryly and thought to myself: How can there be more than opinions? What woman in the world would be so generous as to let her boyfriend accompany another woman every night? Don't make a fuss!

Gu Ruoyan's eyes dimmed, and the originally excited expression disappeared suddenly. He said in a low voice: "Look at me, I only care about myself, I don't think about your difficulties at all, it's already too much to let you accompany me every night, and I want to occupy your other time, do you think I'm too greedy?" ”

I thought about it in my heart, and although there was nothing unpleasant about coming over to accompany her at night, it was better not to let Qiu Jieqin know. Because except for me and Gu Ruoyan, everyone else will inevitably be suspicious. And how can this kind of thing be explained? Lonely men and widows are in the same room and nothing happens at all, and even the love between men and women is not involved, who believes it? So the best thing to do is to don't tell anyone, let them be girlfriends! Fortunately, I haven't lived with Qiu Jieqin yet, otherwise it would have been very troublesome.

However, although Gu Ruoyan said that he was too greedy, there was an obvious look of disappointment on his face. I thought about it again, although after agreeing to accompany her, it is bound to reduce a lot of time with Qiu Jieqin, but Gu Ruoyan is different from Qiu Jieqin, she is more pitiful and needs me more, and the time is only temporary. Although Qiu Jieqin may not always be together in the near future, I am still with her, and we will stay together for the rest of our lives. So now my main task is to try my best to help Gu Ruoyan get out of the shadow of the blow of divorce as soon as possible and rebuild the courage to live. When did Gu Ruoyan think about it, figure it out, and no longer be in pain. That's when I was able to retire and no longer get involved in her life.

After thinking about it, I smiled and said, "Tomorrow night, will you?" Okay, I came early, I just wanted to know how Manager Gu's cooking skills are, my colleague has been more than a year, and I really haven't seen you show your hand. ”

Gu Ruoyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "What?" You mean yes? ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, isn't it just for dinner?" Why not? When the time comes, you don't think I'm eating too much. ”

Gu Ruoyan was excited, shoved the peeled apple into my hand, and said, "How could I think you eat too much?" The more you eat, the better! Come, eat the apple, I've already peeled it. Then she picked up the cigarette and handed it to me, saying, "Also, smoke a cigarette, I'll light it for you." ”

I had to smile and ask her, "Manager, do you want me to eat apples?" Or smoking? Or do you smoke while eating? ”

Gu Ruoyan realized that she was too excited, blushed embarrassedly, retracted the hand holding the cigarette, and said, "Then, you better eat the apple first." Tang Qian, don't laugh at me, I haven't had a good relationship here for a long time. Thinking that tomorrow I can have a good meal like home, I ;;;;;; A little too excited. ”

I ate the apple silently, and sighed slightly in my heart, this kind of ordinary people's most ordinary cooking at home, eating with my family, has become a happy thing in Gu Ruoyan's eyes. So much so that I was so happy that I was at a loss after hearing my promise. I can't help but hate the man who abandoned Gu Ruoyan, leaving her so ruthlessly, leaving Gu Ruoyan without any relatives, and living a lonely life alone. Alas! Even if it's just cooking at home and having someone eat together, it's a luxury.

At night, Gu Ruoyan was very happy and excited, and kept persuading me to eat, drink, and smoke. Eventually, I couldn't eat it anymore and refused three or four times before I gave up. Time passed minute by minute, and Gu Ruoyan didn't feel sleepy at all. I guess it's about eleven o'clock, right? She doesn't sleep anymore, and it's going to be early in the morning when I get home.

I promised to spend the night with her, but I couldn't sleep here. Isn't it good to be home so late, and maybe not for a day or two?

I decided to remind Gu Ruoyan, but I couldn't say it clearly, for fear of breaking her heart. After weighing it carefully, I deliberately yawned a lot while chatting, suggesting that it was not too early for her to go to bed.

Sure enough, Gu Ruoyan looked up at the quartz clock hanging on the wall, and exclaimed, "Huh? It's all this late? No wonder you want to sleep? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, then it's time for me to chuang, I'm ;;;;;; I'll be asleep in no time. She panicked and got up and ran into the bathroom.

I lit another cigarette and waited helplessly for her.

A few minutes later, Gu Ruoyan finished washing, and the problem was solved, and the door came out. She beckoned me into the bedroom and asked me to stay with her. After I went in, I moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed as I did yesterday, while Gu Ruoyan got into the quilt and looked at me. That look suddenly reminded me of many years ago, when my sister was still young, and she always looked at me like this every night before going to bed, waiting for my brother, to tell her the story of the prince and princess.

But Gu Ruoyan's eyes definitely didn't mean to listen to the story, but why did it make me so familiar?

It wasn't until much later that I remembered this question again and asked my sister to find out what it meant. But at this point I was puzzled.

Gu Ruoyan was lying on her side, staring at me all the time, and suddenly she smiled and said, "There is a man in the family, it's just different, I no longer need to suspect that there is a thief hiding under the bed, and I am worried that the mouse will crawl on the bed." ”

Her smile is very simple and contented. With a smile, she closed her eyes.

But it didn't take long for her to open her eyes again, and she said with a little apology: "But what if I can't sleep?" ”

I had just taken a puff of cigarette, and before I could swallow it in my lungs, she burst out laughing. When my sister was a child, there were times when I finished telling a story, but she still didn't feel sleepy at all, pestering me to tell a second or even a third story. Usually at this time I make up some very short stories to deal with her. If you can't do it anymore, you can only say directly: "Okay, it's too late, close your eyes and go to sleep!" And my sister would say almost every time, "But what if I can't sleep?" ”

Because my sister has been afraid of itching since she was a child, I used a killer trick and said, "If you don't sleep again, then you will scratch the itch." So my sister was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, lest I should go and tickle her. I gently coaxed her again, patted her on the back, and her for a long time before she fell asleep.

Now Gu Ruoyan also asked me like this, how do you tell me to answer? Warn her that if she doesn't sleep, she will scratch the itch?

I coughed and said, "I;;;;;; There's no way, you just go to sleep slowly! ”

Gu Ruoyan sighed lightly and said, "Earlier, when my husband was still good with me, every time I couldn't sleep, he would hold me in his arms and gently stroke my back with his hand, so comfortable!" I'm going to fall asleep before I know it. ”

I was startled and thought, you're not trying to make me do the same, are you?

She smiled wryly again and continued, "Forget it, it was all two years ago, he ;;;;;; For two whole years, he never hugged me to sleep again. It's so hard! ”

As she spoke, a crystal teardrop slowly slid down her face. I knew she remembered the sad past, but I didn't know how to persuade her, so I didn't make a sound.

Gu Ruoyan continued: "You must be laughing at me for being stupid, right?" I'm very stupid, in fact, I found out that there was someone outside him early on, but I still deliberately pretended not to know, unwilling to open this layer of window paper, as long as he didn't leave me, sometimes I just put up with it when I thought about it. Alas! But a man who has changed his mind, you can't pull back ten cows! ”

Gu Ruoyan sighed for a long time, his expression dark. intermittently, upside down and upside down about what happened after her ex-husband's affair.

It turned out that her ex-husband was the general manager of a trading company, and he was just a small company before it was developed. Later, by chance, he met a courtesan who had a lot of means, and won the love of courtesans with his handsome appearance. Under the introduction of courtesans, her ex-husband met many influential people in the business field, and with the help of the strong recommendation of courtesans, her ex-husband succeeded in several big businesses and developed all of a sudden. Naturally, her ex-husband and courtesan got together. I don't know what the courtesan did [***]**, took away her ex-husband's entire soul, and never paid attention to his knotted wife again, and later even moved out to live openly with the courtesan. Gu Ruoyan's originally happy life was ruined all at once, and she has been divorced until now. Gu Ruoyan has been widowed for two years, which is indeed very difficult for a woman of her age.

I finally understood why Gu Ruoyan didn't smile when she was usually in the company, her temper was weird and even fierce, and her unhappy life may be one of the reasons?

Gu Ruoyan kept saying that night it was very late, and out of sympathy, I stopped reminding her that it was late. I was very sleepy myself, so I had to smoke desperately to refresh myself.

In the end, Gu Ruoyan still asked me to give her my hand, and she held my hand before finally falling asleep. But I know she'll wake up tomorrow morning and she'll be much more comfortable. Because some things are stuffy in the stomach, the mood will only become heavier, but once it is said and released, it will be much lighter and happier. Gu Ruoyan is like this, she would rather go to get drunk than share her pain with others. So she doesn't have a close friend, so she's more miserable.

I happened to be the only person she could talk to in this world, solved her two problems, had friends who could share her pain, and shared her pain with others.

Some people say that if you tell someone what you are happy about, you will be doubly happy. If you tell someone about your suffering, your suffering will be reduced by half. Whether the estimation is accurate or not, the depression in the heart will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the pain will naturally be reduced.

After Gu Ruoyan didn't make a sound for a long time and made sure that she was asleep, I went home lightly. When I got back to my house, the taxi driver didn't even turn on the overhead lights, I didn't even pay the fare, and the rear door opened. A woman's voice sat in and said, "Master, please go to the Cathay Hotel, hurry up!" ”

The woman's voice was so familiar, I looked back, and the driver turned on the overhead lights in the car, and I looked at the girl who was sitting in the car. Then the girl screamed, and immediately reacted quickly and got out of the car and ran wildly.

I shouted, "Xu Xin! What do you run? ”
