199- Your world, I don't care
Will everyone have a moment of flinch before the truth is revealed?
Nansheng wasn't sure if anyone else felt the same way, but she was sure that she held back.
Coming out of Mr. Li's flower shop, the sun was already setting, not that they had been talking about the present, but that Nan Sheng had a long nap here, perhaps because she had almost not slept all night last night, and she slept very deeply in the fragrant flower shop.
After waking up, Teacher Li handed her mobile phone to herself and told her with a smile:
"Achen called, and I said you were asleep."
Nan Sheng took it with a smile and glanced at the time: "Teacher, I should go, I'll come to see you another day." ”
"Okay."
Nan Sheng only had a breakfast today, even if she had something in her heart, but she couldn't change the state of hunger in her body, she looked around, looked at one of the largest chain restaurants in the country's 'Lanzhou Ramen', smiled, and walked over.
It doesn't matter if the boundaries are different, most of the Lanzhou ramen restaurants in the country seem to be the same, with a few simple tables and benches, no menus to read, only a whole menu hung on the wall for guests to order, and the waiters can't talk about whether they are enthusiastic or not, but most of them don't like to talk.
Nan Sheng is the first time to eat in such a small restaurant, at this time it is a meal, there are many customers in the store, only a spare table, she walked over and sat down, waited for a while and found that there was no waiter to greet her, but next to a sister who looked in her 40s looked at her a few times, probably felt strange, and finally took a bite of noodles to remind her:
"Whatever you want to eat, just tell the waiter."
Nan Sheng smiled kindly:
"Thank you."
She called out to the waiter and ordered a bowl of ramen, and the waiter asked her for a big bowl and a small bowl, and she said, "Small bowl." ”
The waiter shouted and left, Nan Sheng sat there bored looking at the layout of the restaurant, it was summer, the fans on the walls of the restaurant were shaking their heads and working, but they still couldn't stop the hot air, especially in a small space, and eating steaming ramen noodles.
She didn't have any discomfort, and even smiled faintly, only to find that the eyes of the guests in the store were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, Nan Sheng didn't know why, but she didn't want to explore, in order to hide the embarrassment of waiting for her meal, she took out her mobile phone to play.
It's just that after a while, someone appeared in front of him and shrouded the light overhead, Nan Sheng thought that someone was passing by at first, so he didn't care, until someone sat down opposite him and asked her:
"Can I sit here?"
Nan Sheng paused to play with his mobile phone, raised his eyes to look over, and unexpectedly crashed into Gu Chen's inky eyes.
She was startled, and it took more than ten seconds to relieve her mind, and she tried to make herself smile:
"How did you know I was here?"
Gu Chen looked at the environment of the restaurant with a smile, and did not feel any discomfort:
"I've been following you since you walked out of Mr. Li's flower shop, and you haven't noticed?"
Nan Sheng shook his head:
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I just wanted to see when you could find me, but I didn't expect it to be so slow."
Nan Sheng pouted and smiled:
"I don't usually do that."
Today she was just thinking about things, but she didn't tell Gu Chen about this, although even if she said it, according to Gu Chen's demeanor, she wouldn't ask her what she was thinking, but she just didn't want him to know that she was hiding something in her heart.
Gu Chen didn't care about Nan Sheng's words, looked at the menu on the wall, and asked:
"What did you order?"
"A bowl of ramen." Nan Sheng said, "Small bowl." ”
Gu Chen nodded:
"Then I'll have a big bowl."
Nan Sheng was surprised:
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"If Mrs. Gu doesn't go home, where will I eat?"
"Is the chef on vacation?" She hadn't heard of it before she came out.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "No, it's just that the place with you is home, and I like to eat at home." ”
Nan Sheng couldn't tell what kind of feeling she felt after hearing this sentence, she was sour and swollen, her thoughts began to be a little disobedient and wanted to run around, and she was transferred in time, she knew that Gu Chen would not mind eating in this kind of place, but in her own opinion, he was really not compatible with this place, and besides, he was so picky about food, he would get sick to his stomach if he was not careful, she didn't dare to take this risk, so she mentioned:
"Let's go home and eat."
Gu Chen looked at her:
"Why?"
"I suddenly want to eat Chef Li's xiaolongbao."
Gu Chen reached over the table and touched her face:
"Don't worry about me, I can eat anything."
Nan Sheng was worried about Gu Chen's stomach on the one hand, and on the other hand, she didn't want to go back to face Gu Chen too early, now that the two had met, there was really no need for him to accompany her to dinner here, so she took the lead in standing up from her seat, took out money from her bag and put it on the table, and took his hand:
"Gone."
Gu Chen felt funny, but he didn't refuse, just looked at her back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly converged.
Did she get it? He wasn't sure.
But even if she doesn't know, she is suspicious of herself, but in such a state, will she be too calm?
Do you want to ask?
Gu Chen won't, if this kind of whitewashing is what Nan Sheng wants, he really doesn't have that reason to break the current peace.
――
After dinner, Nan Sheng wanted to go outside, Gu Chen also had to have a video conference with a foreign company, so he couldn't go along, and told her not to go to the corner, even though the lights were on everywhere in the quiet garden, it was inevitable that there would be places that could not be illuminated, and she was so afraid of the dark that she didn't want to scare her.
Nan Sheng smiled:
"Okay."
He said uneasily:
"Call me if there's something."
She nodded obediently, "Okay." ”
In fact, Nan Sheng didn't really want to go out for a walk, but she hadn't found a way to face Gu Chen, she admitted that she was a little cowardly, but instead of shouting and questioning, than crying hysterically, she would rather be like this.
Nan Sheng didn't go far, but came to the pool in the backyard, sat on a chair on the side, and looked at a pool of clear water.
There was wind tonight, under the moonlight and lights, the entire water surface looked sparkling, Nan Sheng thought it was good-looking, but her eyes did not linger much, in fact, she didn't know where the focus of her eyes was, she just came out to be quiet, not to enjoy any scenery.
She admitted that she was suspicious of Gu Chen.
Cause?
Jiang Licheng lied to himself.
Some people say that people always subconsciously make some small movements when they lie, Nan Sheng can't say that she knows Jiang Licheng, but she is still sure that Jiang Licheng lied to herself when she met yesterday, and when he was talking to himself about the little boy, his hand has been involuntarily clasping the table.
It was a small action he had never seen before, and Nan Sheng noticed.
Since Jiang Licheng helped her, Nan Sheng has had an indescribable sense of trust in her, perhaps based on this trust, Nan Sheng should have chosen to believe his words, but she didn't do so. She was just subconsciously thinking, why did Jiang Licheng lie to herself? What is he trying to hide?
He chose to lie about the little boy back then, so it was clear that, based on the news he was willing to tell himself yesterday, he already knew the news of the little boy, and perhaps knew very well, that he even knew where he was now. She noticed a brief pause in Jiang Licheng's fingers when he said that the little boy had gone abroad.
This shows that it is true that the little boy went abroad in the first place.
If her reasoning is true, and the series of events around her are all about the little boy coming to take revenge for the events of the year, then who are the people around her who came back from abroad? Who is the same age as the little boy? There seems to be only one answer.
Gu Chen.
Of course, Nan Sheng's first reaction was impossible, and she also subconsciously wanted to remove Gu Chen's name from her mind, but slowly, she found that she couldn't do it. Because she was shocked to realize that all the accidents of the Nan family and her father only happened after Gu Chen appeared beside her.
Jiang Licheng's concealment also proves this.
If it weren't for the fact that this little boy happened to be someone he knew and had a good relationship, there must be no need for Jiang Licheng to lie to himself.
This realization Nan Sheng felt cold, she was looking at the heat wave rolling outside the window, and wanted to throw herself into it and drive away all the cold in her body, but she couldn't, she had to calm down, she told herself to believe Gu Chen. Because this qiē is nothing but his own conjecture.
But no matter how much she comforted herself, she still couldn't deceive the uneasiness in her heart after all.
Last night, perhaps based on her own conjecture, she actually felt a sense of guilt towards Gu Chen, remembering the report in the newspaper, remembering that he witnessed his mother being killed by QJ in front of him, and that guilt was like a monstrous wave that instantly drowned herself.
So later, when he asked for the bed, she gave him, how he changed his tricks to toss, how to put on a shameful posture by himself, and even called out the coquettishness he liked to hear, she also willingly cooperated, even if she was exhausted and separated.
She couldn't tell what kind of mindset it was.
Atonement? But even she couldn't be sure that Gu Chen was the little boy at the beginning.
She said that she wanted Gu Chen to accompany her to audit, which was true. Because she wanted to see how Gu Chen reacted at the moment when she faced her father's sentence.
Later, she reversed her decision, and it was true. Because she didn't want to see Gu Chen's expression at the moment when her father pronounced the sentence, even if he was good at hiding his feelings, he probably wouldn't have any reaction.
It's just that he didn't expect that he actually asked Zou Yu to accompany him into the court, and the curiosity she had suppressed began to have a heart again, she tried, but unfortunately she still couldn't control it, so she asked, asked Zou Yu Gu Chen's parents.
Zou Yu's answer was, 'Mr. Gu is an orphan'.
This answer is both expected and unexpected. Because she had expected this for a long time, she shouldn't have any sad and joyful feelings, but the fact still caught her off guard, and she even lost all her perception at that moment.
Later, after leaving the court, she went to Mr. Li's flower shop, and she was not uncurious about how Mr. Li and Gu Chen met, but at that time she was already with Gu Chen, and she felt that Mr. Li had so many students, and it was not so strange that Gu Chen was her student.
But today, she wanted to know what she knew.
It's just that before she asked a question and Teacher Li opened her mouth to answer, she flinched, and she interrupted Teacher Li almost eagerly, she said:
"Teacher, needless to say, I suddenly don't want to know."
Teacher Li didn't continue, just looked at her and smiled, but Nan Sheng didn't dare to look at what was hidden in the smile.
She wanted an answer so much, but she never dared to think about it, if Gu Chen was really the little boy she was the first to, what should she do? And what will be done?
Nan Sheng almost subconsciously avoided this question, she didn't want to think about it herself, because even if she did, she might not necessarily have an answer.
She doesn't want to think about it, and she won't think about it in the future, no matter whether she controls it or not, she won't let herself associate this matter with Gu Chen anymore.
The dust has settled on her father's affairs, even if it was really the little boy who did it, it can't change the fact that her father took bribes and is now sentenced, she is not a person without conscience, nor is she a person with weak family affection, she just thinks that if she can: her father's three-year sentence will be left to her own resistance.
――
It was already 10 o'clock when Gu Chen finished the meeting on video, and she thought that Nan Sheng would not be in the room, but she had already taken a shower and was sitting in front of the dresser to take skin care lotions.
Sensing that her eyes were resting on her, she turned her head to look at him and smiled:
"Done?"
Gu Chen replied lightly, walked over, his hands were naturally placed on her shoulders, Nan Sheng's body couldn't help but tremble, Gu Chen noticed, hooked the corners of his lips lightly, and looked at her in the mirror:
"Cold?"
Nan Sheng shook his head and did not respond. Because I really don't know what to go back, the indoor air conditioner has a constant temperature in all seasons, how can it be cold? She was only nervous for a moment about Gu Chen's contact, and Nan Sheng suddenly sadly found that all her thoughts could only be based on when she couldn't see Gu Chen, and at this moment he was just standing by her side, and all the defenses she had built had begun to show signs of cracking.
She closed her eyes and got up from her chair, avoiding his touch:
"It's getting late, let's go take a shower."
Gu Chen smiled, leaned over and kissed her lips, if she didn't have a moment of stiffness Gu Chen might choose to deepen this kiss, but he didn't, the dragonfly touched the water and left:
"Okay, you go to sleep first, you don't have to wait for me."
Nan Sheng let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, she never knew that she would be so nervous in front of Gu Chen.
She didn't know if it would be the same in the future, because she didn't dare to think about the future, and she didn't know if there would be a future...... R1154
