Chapter 234: Well-behaved
As if he had returned to that time, Gu Lan was in a trance. The fingers were unconsciously clenched. At that time, she was in a desperate situation. Even death, she thought about it. It's hard to live, and only when you die can you get a hundred.
The Qiu family is aggressive, and the parents, for the sake of profit, always hope that they will return to the Qiu family. She was in a desperate situation, and if it weren't for them, she might not be alive.
Even now, she can still feel that despair. All around her was a suffocating gloom that overwhelmed her. There is no way but death.
The words she just said were just blurted out by the situation. came back to his senses, but he didn't say anything at this time, took out a card and pushed it in front of Gu Shi'an, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You know, I can't help much." If you don't dislike it, this one will be handed over to Chen Xiao. I listened to the gossip of those people in the company......"
There was concern in her eyes. They helped her a lot, and all she could do was what she could do.
I don't know if I was afraid that Gu Shi'an would ask or that she would refuse, Gu Lan stood up. Her phone rang at this moment, and she squeezed out a smile to answer the call, and then hurried to answer the call.
When I came back from the phone, no one continued the topic. Gu Shi'an had a cold, and Gu Lan found ginger to boil boiling water for her. And then he kept talking about interesting things in the company.
Gu Shi'an also cooperated and listened carefully. From time to time, he nodded and said a few words.
Gu Lan said goodbye to Gu Shi'an after lunch at noon, she was still in the internship period, and she worked harder than others. In the evening, I will go back to prepare some materials.
Gu Shi'an sent her downstairs, and when she was in the corridor, she suddenly asked in a low voice, "Sister Lobby, what did Chen Xiaodu tell you at that time?" ”
Gu Lan didn't expect that she would ask about this at this time, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly and said, "Didn't say anything......"
She couldn't find a good excuse for a while, and the atmosphere froze at this point.
Gu Shi'an lowered his head and said seriously: "He must have said something." ”
At that time, she didn't ask, but when she thought about it, she realized if she had neglected a lot of things.
With Gu Lan's character, she is like Chen Xiao, she will not accept his help. Later, he accepted Chen Xiao's help, which means that Chen Xiao must have said something to her.
Including Chang Yin's side, in the past, she didn't want to see Chen Xiao. But then, she never stopped her from saying anything, which was obviously wrong.
Her tone was firm, and Gu Lan didn't know what to do for a while. A little flustered. Gu Shi'an asked, it is not difficult to see the current state of her and Chen Xiao. Gu Lan struggled for a long time, but in the end he still raised his head to look at Gu Shi'an, and said with some difficulty: "He, he doesn't want you to get involved in those things of the Chen family. ”
Chen Xiao said much more than that, Gu Shi'an didn't ask again, and Gu Lan didn't say any more.
It didn't take long for the car to come, and Gu Lan got into the car. Gu Shi'an stood still for a long time. She remembered the scene of that night again, and after a long time, she returned to the community.
The corridor was dark, and she stayed at the window and wanted to call Chang Yin, but in the end she didn't call.
Back at home, Gu Shi'an stayed for a long time. Changed clothes and went downstairs.
She was no longer at a loss and aimless when she went out this time, and drove to the supermarket. I bought daily necessities such as pots and pans, as well as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and other things. I bought some bread along the way.
Chen Xiao arrived home earlier tonight than last night, and when he was still at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Gu Shi'an sitting at the door. There were big bags of things in front of her, and I don't know where to find a small stool to sit on, and after waiting for a long time, I kept looking at my phone, rubbing my hands from time to time to keep warm.
As if sensing something, his steps stopped, and she looked up. She looked like she had nothing to do, her body was a little stiff after sitting for a long time, she didn't stand up, she just said, "I'm back." ”
Chen Xiao didn't speak with a calm face, and when he got closer, he sneered: "You are quite thick-skinned." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, slowed down his frozen body slightly, stood up and stepped aside to let Chen Xiao open the door.
But she had only come here once, and she was already more familiar with the people in the courtyard than he was. The stool went back to the eldest sister opposite. The other party looked in the direction where Chen Xiao was standing, and enthusiastically asked her to come and sit at home when she was free.
The sound in a courtyard was a little louder and could be heard by other families, but Chen Xiao didn't drive her away immediately. When he entered the house, he asked coldly, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Gu Shi'an's pile of things, he didn't have the habit of reaching out to carry them at all.
"Cook." Gu Shi'an's tone was calm, as if he was in his own home. He carried his things and went into the house.
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, and said, "Do you think it's funny to stalk like this?" ”
Gu Shi'an looked at him calmly and said, "That eye of yours saw me stalking me?" ”
Chen Xiao folded his arms, looked at her coldly, and said, "Aren't you stalking like this?" Did I say you would come over? ”
Gu Shi'an didn't speak now. He took out the induction cooker he had bought and placed it on a low table beside him.
In Chen Xiao's room, there was nothing except a bed, a table, and two simple stools. Later, Chen Xiao ridiculed her from time to time and didn't speak, cleaned everything one by one, and then began to cook.
The house was damp, and after cooking she went to the eldest sister's house opposite. I don't know what to say, but I quickly came with a small stove and some firewood and honeycomb coal.
She didn't carry it into the house, but started to light a fire outside. She'd hardly ever done anything like that, and she couldn't burn a fire for a long time. In the end, a burning coal was brought from the eldest sister next door, which ignited the fire.
When she did this, Chen Xiao looked at her coldly in the house, didn't drive her away, and didn't help.
His gaze was sharp, Gu Shi'an's scalp was numb, and he tried his best to make a casual appearance.
The first meal was a bit of a trick to cook, and it took two hours for this meal to be made. There are only three simple dishes and one soup, but fortunately, they are all hot.
The dish was fried and placed on the table, and the fire outside was blazing. She picked up the fire and set it aside, and then took out a bowl to serve the rice.
The room finally smelled warm, and it was no longer freezing badly. She closed the door to keep the wind out, leaving a gap.
She thought that Chen Xiao would not eat the food she cooked, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he actually sat down at the dinner table. This is obviously what Gu Shi'an wants to see, but I don't know why, she actually has some bad premonitions.
The room was small, and soon it was warm. No one spoke at this meal. After eating, Gu Shi'an boiled water, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and put them away.
It was already past ten o'clock after staying like this, she looked at the time and said, "Go to bed early, I'll go first." ”
Chen Xiao sat on the bed, glanced at her with a smile, and said, "I haven't washed yet." ”
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was like treating her as a hired nanny.
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and fetched water to boil it again.
She didn't leave in a hurry now, and waited for Chen Xiao to wash up slowly, and then she was leaving. Who knew that as soon as he turned around, Chen Xiao reached out and grabbed her. He brought her to bed almost instantly. A handsome face approached her little by little, and said with a smile: "Since they are all sent to the door, will I be sorry for myself if I don't sleep?" ”
His tone was frivolous, and the whole person looked like a rogue ruffian. As he spoke, a pair of eyes looked at Gu Shi'an's chest covered by a down jacket. His lips pressed to her ear, and his palm slipped through the hem of her dress.
He thought that Gu Shi'an would resist, but he didn't. She reached out and hugged her, her lips clumsily pressed against his.
Chen Xiao's body stiffened, and then he rolled down from Gu Shi'an's body without saying a word. He fell into it and closed his eyes and slew.
The snow was falling heavily, and when I opened the door, it was already white. Traffic restrictions have been implemented on many roads at this time. Gu Shi'an didn't go back, and after washing himself, he lay flat on the bed.
Chen Xiao completely didn't exist at this moment, and fell asleep on her side.
Gu Shi'an was very stable here, and she quickly closed her eyes. It didn't take long for an even breathing sound.
Chen Xiao, who had already closed his eyes, opened his eyes at this time, got up, opened the door, went outside, lit a cigarette, and smoked.
The fireworks between his fingers suddenly went out, and he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.
Gu Shi'an slept very soundly this night, and when he woke up, Chen Xiao's shadow was gone. She was slightly stunned at this time, and soon got up.
Chen Xiao was not in the house, nor was he outside. Gu Shi'an was a little flustered, but when he saw that his things were still there, he quickly calmed down. Get up and light the stove, and then go out to buy some coal. I borrowed it last night, and I have to buy it and pay it back.
The eldest sister on the other side was warm-hearted, not only took Gu Shi'an to buy coal, but also took her to the nearby vegetable market. Tell her where it's cheaper to buy things.
Chen Xiao was eye-catching everywhere, and the eldest sister tentatively asked where they were. Gu Shi'an prevaricated vaguely.
Knowing that she didn't want to say it, the eldest sister didn't ask anymore. When she returned home, she invited Gu Shi'an to her house to watch TV. It's boring to say it's alone.
She has children at home and she can't go to work. I got some manual work from a nearby factory. Gu Shi'an sat down and had nothing to do, so he helped her. When the children are out of school, they go to cook.
When she went out in the morning, she bought a chicken and used the small pot she bought to make chicken soup on the fire.
Chen Xiao came back at eight o'clock, and when he saw that she was still frowning, he frowned. As if he hadn't seen it, Gu Shi'an took out a bowl and served the rice, and said, "Let's eat." ”
Chen Xiao looked at her silently, and after a while, he said, "Haven't stayed enough?" ”
Gu Shi'an took the bowl of chicken soup again, lowered his head and said, "I will go back when you go back." ”
Chen Xiao sneered, looked at her, and said coldly, "Didn't Assistant Sun tell you that the house has been mortgaged?" ”
He obviously knew where she was going back, but he deliberately brought up the new house.
Gu Shi'an was about to speak, but he turned around and went out to wash his hands.
Gu Shi'an obviously didn't plan to stay here for a long time, and he was going to leave again after eating.
Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, closed the door and followed him.
Chen Xiao was impatient, stopped outside the courtyard, and said coldly, "What are you doing with me?" ”
Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Chen Xiao was very impatient, and immediately turned around and was about to leave. After only taking a few steps, I heard Gu Shi'an behind me say, "I'm pregnant." ”
Chen Xiao's body stiffened, and his footsteps paused.
Gu Shi'an said what he just said again.
She was keeping her head down, and Chen Xiao couldn't see the expression on her face. He stood for a long time and did not move. If you stand in the snow and ice for a long time, you will catch a cold. After an interval of three or four minutes, Chen Xiao said in a muffled voice: "Go in, I'll come in with a cigarette." ”
Gu Shi'an responded obediently this time, and then went back to the courtyard.
Chen Xiao's cigarette smoked for about twenty minutes, and when he went back, Gu Shi'an was sitting on the bed. I didn't know what I was thinking, but I came back to my senses when I saw him.
Chen Xiao's gaze stayed on her face for a long time, and after half a century, he said, "I asked Assistant Sun to make an appointment with the doctor and go to the hospital for examination tomorrow." ”
His gaze was sharp, as if he refused to let go of the slightest expression on Gu Shi'an's face.
Gu Shi'an's fingers were pinched together, but his face was pretending to be calm, and he simply responded hello.
Chen Xiao took dozens of seconds before retracting his gaze, and simply said to wash up.
Chen Xiao didn't go to bed as early as last night, and he didn't know how many cigarettes he smoked outside, so he lay on the bed.
The next day, Assistant Sun came very early, and the car couldn't drive in, so he called Chen Xiao at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Xiao was not as sharp as he was two days ago, and he was silent for a long time. Sit in the car and close your eyes and fake sleep.
Assistant Sun in front of him also didn't speak, and kept looking at the road ahead.
Gu Shi'an sat with his back straight, his palms sweating a lot in the heater in the car.
The car had just driven out not long before Assistant Sun's mobile phone rang. He looked, pulled over to the side of the road, and picked up the phone.
I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, but his face gradually became solemn. turned around and called Mr. Chen in a low voice. handed the phone to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took the phone and fed. He didn't speak, it was the person on the other end of the phone who was talking. Before he could say anything, he hung up the phone.
He didn't say anything, but he didn't have to think about it to guess that something bad was going on.
He quickly returned the mobile phone to Assistant Sun, his eyes fell on Gu Shi'an, and said, "I have something to deal with, and the doctor has made an appointment." Assistant Sun will accompany you to the check-up. ”
Assistant Sun immediately said that you can rest assured.
Chen Xiao didn't speak, opened the car door and got out of the car. Standing on the side of the road, I quickly flagged down a taxi and left.
Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy, and he asked Assistant Sun in a low voice what was the matter.
Assistant Sun and Chen Xiao are of the same mind, where are they willing to tell her. vaguely said that there was nothing to do, and Mr. Chen would deal with it.
Knowing that he didn't say it, Gu Shi'an didn't ask anymore.
Assistant Sun still has some connections on hand, and there is no need to queue. After asking a few words, the doctor directly prescribed her a urine test.
Gu Shi'an took the list hard.
Assistant Sun followed her inch by inch, Gu Shi'an squeezed out a pale smile and said, "I'll do it myself." It will take a long time to wait for the inspection, and if you have something to do, you will be busy. ”
Assistant Sun said politely: "It's okay, I'm idle." ”
Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying. Assistant Sun took the bill in her hand and went to pay.
It was a long time to wait for the results to come out, and Assistant Sun simply stayed at the window. As soon as the list came out, I went over to see if there was any Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an calmed down at this time and sat obediently aside.
The result came out after more than an hour, and Assistant Sun looked at it when he got the inspection report, and immediately called Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao didn't know what to say, and when he got out of the hospital, Assistant Sun said: "Mr. Chen said that you should not go over there again, you are not as cold and damp there as before, and it will not be good if you have a cold." ”
probably knew what Gu Shi'an was trying to say, and after he finished speaking, he added: "Mr. Chen's affairs over there have been dealt with, and he will go back to collect the things over there." Come back later. ”
Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief at this time, nodded and said hello.
She is obviously different now and before, and the two are still on the way, Chen Xiao called again. I don't know what to say, Assistant Sun just responded.
Gu Shi'an pricked up his ears to hear what he said, but Lai He couldn't hear anything.
The hospital is not far from the old house, and it doesn't take long to arrive. Assistant Sun drove the car directly into the community, sent Gu Shi'an upstairs and asked her not to go out, and Che Chen Xiao would drive it back for her.
There is no parking lot over there, and Gu Shi'an's car is parked on the side of the road. Chen Xiao actually noticed it.
Chen Xiao instructed more, and Assistant Sun told more. After saying a lot of things, he left.
Waiting for him to leave, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. I almost sat on the ground.
Chen Xiao's words counted, and he came back before six o'clock in the evening. He apparently hadn't packed all his belongings and had only brought a small suitcase.
He bought vegetables and brought Gu Shi'an pastries that she liked to eat before.
He changed his shoes and put down his things, and Gu Shi'an took out the inspection report and handed it to him.
Chen Xiao took it after a while, he looked at it for a while, and then said in a stiff voice: "It's inconvenient to go up and down the stairs here, I'll call Aunt Ye later, you live over there." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't expect that he would throw himself back into the old mansion at all. I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, then lowered my head and said, "I'm not going." I'll be where you are. ”
Chen Xiao is irritable, and wants to say something. Gu Shi'an suddenly raised her head, her eyes were misty, she pursed her lips and looked at him, and asked, "Don't you want it?" ”
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand to touch the cigarette, remembering that she was in a special period. and endure it alive. said: "It's not safe for you to live here alone. Aunt Ye has experience, and she will take good care of you.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak, just looked at him. She bit her lip as if she was going to cry at any moment.
Chen Xiao looked away, handed her the pastries he bought, and said, "Pad your stomach first." I'm going to cook. Stay here for a while, and if you can't take care of yourself, go over there. ”
His voice was hard, but in the end, he still didn't force Gu Shi'an to go over.
He knows how to cook, but stir-frying is always a difficult thing for him. The final dish was stir-fried by Gu Shi'an.
The dinner table is calm, and Chen Xiao no longer only eats his own. Instead, he served vegetables to Gu Shi'an from time to time. After eating, he didn't need Gu Shi'an to tell him to wash the dishes.
It was obviously still early, and when she came out of the kitchen, she asked Gu Shi'an to wash.
Gu Shi'an did not object, and obediently went to wash.
When he was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Gu Shi'an asked, "Did it go well to deal with things today?" ”
Chen Xiao nodded casually, and said it well.
At nine o'clock, Chen Xiao asked Gu Shi'an to go to sleep.
She originally wanted to say that she was not sleepy, but thought of her current identity. I just nodded.
Chen Xiao asked her to sleep, but he had no intention of sleeping.
Gu Shi'an asked in a low voice, "When are you going to sleep?" ”
He replied vaguely that there was still something to do, and saw Gu Shi'an lying on the bed, then turned off the light and went out.
When he returned to the bedroom, Gu Shi'an was already asleep, and Chen Xiao did not turn on the light. Lying lightly on the bed. After waiting for his hands to be warm and freezing, he hesitated for a long time before gently placing his hand on Gu Shi'an's stomach through his pajamas.
The belly was still flat, and I couldn't imagine that there was a little life in it.
He's always done it with measure, except for the one time on the rooftop.
Chen Xiao withdrew his hand after a long time and closed his eyes. Stretched out his hand and encircled her.
Gu Shi'an seemed to sense his approach, and the whole person shrank back into his arms.
Chen Xiao was afraid of touching her stomach, so he distanced himself from her a little. Who knew she would post it again right away. He could only lie stiff.
Chen Xiao slept stiffly all night, with a lot of things going on in his head. He closed his eyes tightly. It wasn't until the second half of the night that he fell asleep.
Chen Xiao slept heavily this night, and when he woke up the next day, Gu Shi'an was nowhere to be seen. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately turned over and got up. Put on your slippers and open the door and go out.
There was no Gu Shi'an in the living room, only a slight noise coming from the kitchen. Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
He habitually touched the cigarette, and stopped halfway through his movements. He stood for a moment before walking to the kitchen.
