211 - Everything takes time
Nan Sheng looks like a normal person when he is sober, but his temperament is calmer and he doesn't like to talk very much. This is Gu Chen's feeling, but what is the truth?
In fact, Nan Sheng is not reluctant to speak, she just doesn't know what to say.
Some of her thoughts were muddy, some of them remembered, some of them couldn't, some of them could only remember half of them, so she rarely spoke again to avoid mistakes. In the memory of the past five years, she can't remember what she said, let alone what she has done, and she is full of blanks.
Whether she admits it or not, she discarded herself for five whole years.
Gu Chen had eaten enough at this time, but he didn't put down his chopsticks, he knew that Nan Sheng was waiting for him, so he slowed down the speed very slowly, the purpose was to let the two of them talk as much as possible, remembering the phone call from Qin Se before, Gu Chen looked at Nan Sheng, who was looking down at his hand, and smiled slightly:
"Do you remember Qin Se?"
At the mention of Qin Se, Nan Sheng's expression did not loosen in any way, no different from when she first saw herself in the evening, and now she seemed that no one could arouse the slightest ripple on her feelings, she nodded:
"Is she okay?"
Gu Chen took a bite of rice, remembered the current state of Tang Muchuan and Qin Se, and smiled lightly:
"Not bad. She and Makikawa have moved to T City to settle down. ”
Nan Sheng nodded and didn't speak again, as if he didn't care about Yiqiē. In fact, it's not that she doesn't care, she just feels that she doesn't have the ability to care now, she can't even take care of herself, and what energy does she have to take care of others? Gu Chen said that her current condition is not bad, so believe it.
Because if the truth is found to be inconsistent, she will not know what she can do.
Gu Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks:
"I just talked to her on the phone, she really wants to talk to you, if you miss her, I'll call her."
Nan Sheng didn't respond, but her attitude was already very clear, she didn't want to make this call, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't force her, got up and bypassed the dining table to hold her hand, but she avoided it, Gu Chen smiled lightly, squatted down in front of her, and naturally placed his hand on her knees, asking:
"Sleepy?"
Nan Sheng looked up at him, his eyes were calm, but the words he said broke the smile that Gu Chen maintained on the surface, and he heard Nan Sheng's slightly hoarse voice and said:
"Achen, let's go."
Gu Chen's smile froze on his face for a few seconds, and then he recovered, regardless of whether she wanted to, he insisted on holding her hand in the palm of his hand, and he looked at her innocently: "You are here, where can I go?" Or do you want to go back with me? ”
Nan Sheng tried to withdraw his hand from his palm, but found that the harder he worked, the tighter he would grip, and finally she noticed the pain and frowned slightly, Gu Chen let go of his hand a little and rubbed it with his thumb a few times, as if to relieve the force he had just made.
The two were silent for a while, and Nan Sheng suddenly thought of a question, she said:
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Gu Chen smiled and nodded:
"Isn't this right in front of you?"
Nan Sheng shook his head: "I'm not." ”
"Did we talk about breaking up?"
Nan Sheng didn't refute, just looked at him straightly, as if helpless, but there was more sadness in his eyes, which was a kind of powerless bearing of reality.
Although Gu Chen said to Nan Xiuyuan that he would take Nan Sheng back to China, but in the face of Nan Sheng, he didn't say such a thing, she wanted to stay in Chicago, he accompanied him, wanted to go home, he went back with her, and followed her preferences. Don't come and tell him what the company should do, for five years, when he couldn't find her, he put all his energy into business.
That's just a second best thing for him, and the most important person in his world is always a woman named Nan Sheng.
After being silent for a long time, Nan Sheng looked at Gu Chen and spoke again:
"Achen, you should understand that I am no longer the Asheng I used to be. Now I'm sober and look like a normal person, but I don't know what I'd do if I get sick, I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to cause you any trouble. ”
This is the longest paragraph Nan Sheng has ever said after the two said goodbye, and Gu Chen smiled when he heard this:
"Aren't the Ah Sheng of the year and the Ah Sheng of the present Ah Sheng? Regardless of whether Ah Sheng is mine or not, I am Ah Sheng's, so it should be that where Ah Sheng is, I am there. You won't hurt me, your absence from me is the biggest harm to me, you don't know how much I miss you in the past five years. ”
"Achen......
"Ah Sheng." He interrupted her: "Don't let me go again, I don't know if I have the courage to continue living without you again......"
The outcome of this conversation was not surprisingly inconclusive, and Nan Sheng looked very tired, both physically and mentally.
Gu Chen took her to the master bedroom to rest, but she sat on the sofa in the floor-to-ceiling window and stopped moving, Gu Chen didn't know why at first, and called softly 'Ah Sheng', she raised her eyes and said, "I'm sleeping here." ”
He walked over and sat down beside her, the wry smile on his lips did not let her see, and he asked with a smile:
"Afraid of me?"
Nan Sheng was silent.
At this moment, her memory is sober, so she remembers how attached she was to Gu Chen's embrace five years ago, but the series of reactions brought about by the sobriety also made her realize how much of a joke she had just made, he didn't mention the sheet incident that happened before the meal, and Nan Sheng naturally didn't mention it.
To be honest, she didn't know why she was like this, let alone if she would continue to do this next, she would be uneasy when he was lying beside her.
Gu Chen didn't force her, and he didn't seem to be obsessed with her answer, and smiled:
"You go to sleep, when you fall asleep, I'll go to the bedroom next to me."
Nan Sheng didn't look at Gu Chen, but she got up after his words, she walked over mechanically, sat on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes, lifted the quilt, lay down and closed her eyes, and didn't look at her during the period.
Gu Chen didn't move, his eyes kept falling on her, and after she closed her eyes, she also leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.
Gu Chen naturally didn't like the current way of getting along with Nan Sheng, but he also knew that he was in a hurry. Not to mention that Nan Sheng's mental state at the moment is a little abnormal, even if she is like back then, five years are in the middle, and it will take some time to do it as before.
Take your time, take your time......
He said to himself.
After Nan Sheng's breathing gradually stabilized, Gu Chen got up and left, he knew that Nan Sheng was not actually asleep, but just trying to relax himself temporarily, she was unwilling, or rather, she was not ready to be alone with her, and he was not ready to force her to accept the situation.
As long as she feels comfortable, he can do anything. R1154
