89. Pretend
When Shi Lei was persuaded by me to go back, it was already half past nine in the evening, and he held my hand and didn't let go until he came to the fork in the road and saw Gao Zijian standing there smoking.
I don't know if it's my eyes or the light, but I always feel like he's standing there, a little bleak.
As if sensing our eyes, he turned his head, his face startled, and immediately walked towards us.
"Reconciled?" Gao Zijian threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and looked at us with a smile.
Shi Lei's hand held me tightly, his eyes were level with Gao Zijian, and he said in a calm voice: "Zijian, in this life, I will remember your kindness, thank you." ”
Gao Zijian waved his hand, a smile was written on his whole face, and said, "It's all brothers, what's polite to me, or go to Amber Mountain Villa tonight?" ”
His expression was natural, and I didn't see his eyes glancing at me throughout.
"No need, I rented a house outside the Second Ring Road, so I won't trouble you tonight." Maybe it was because Shi Lei cried by the moat just now, his voice was hoarse.
Shi Lei wants to take me to his residence.
"That's it, hehehe, it's okay, you tell me the location, I'll send you there." Gao Zijian pointed in the direction of Daben and said plainly.
"No need," I stared at Gao Zijian with my eyes and said, "Why don't you send Shi Lei back first, I have to go to work tomorrow, and I want to go back to my residence." ”
"Xiao Jia......" Shi Lei held my hand and suddenly tightened, and said, "I want you to accompany me." ”
I raised my head and looked at Shi Lei, the corner of my eye fell on Gao Zijian's body, I don't know why, there was actually a trace in my heart, I wanted to see his performance.
As a result, he remained as calm as ever.
"Is the location far away? Will I be late for work? I looked at Shi Lei, and his voice was very calm.
Shi Lei took out his mobile phone, showed me the location of the location, pointed out the distance between the residence and the company by the way, and said that he could personally send me to work tomorrow morning.
A long time ago, this was Shi Lei's greatest wish and me.
"This ...... Won't it be too far? Gao Zijian coughed lightly and said, "This road is the easiest to get stuck in traffic in the morning, so it is estimated that you have to get up a little earlier." ”
The former sentence, perhaps, will make me happy, and the latter sentence is back to square one.
"It's okay, then I'm sorry for you, Gao Dashuai, help us send it over!" I shook my hand and wanted to take back Shi Lei's clenched hand silently, but he held it very tightly and couldn't do anything.
I know Shi Lei needs me now.
The car was very quiet, Shi Lei and I sat in the back seat, Gao Zijian sat in front alone, glanced at his side face, and did not find anything abnormal.
What am I looking for? Perhaps, the so-called gentleness and expectation are all wishful thinking.
I sighed softly, and my broad palm gently stroked my forehead, pressing me against his shoulder. I was a little tired, so I simply pressed on Shi Lei's shoulder and looked out the window blankly.
Outside the window, there was a dark and silent night, and rows of trees flashed before my eyes, so fast that my eyes hurt. I secretly cried.
When he arrived at the place where Shi Lei rented a house, Gao Zijian did not get out of the car, simply waved his hand to him, and walked towards the community.
Shi Lei's hand didn't leave my hand for a moment, his palm was warm, like someone.
The rented house is a brand new one-bedroom living room, and the smell of decoration can be faintly smelled inside, Shi Lei took the key to open the door, and the other hand was still holding me.
"Shi Lei, why don't you rest first, I'll ......"
Shi Lei didn't speak, the door opened, he looked at me with a happy face, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, in the future, this will be our home." ”
Before I could speak, Shi Lei pulled me into the room, and as soon as the door closed, he opened his arms and hugged me into his arms. I stepped back and forth three times, and finally, stopped at the couch position.
Shi Lei hugged me and fell on the sofa.
I nervously stood up, pointed to the refrigerator, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'll cook you some food first......"
"Xiao Jia......" Shi Lei looked at me, pulled me to sit on the sofa, and gently brushed my face with a calloused palm, and said: "Don't worry, I, Shi Lei, swear that I will be good to you in this life, and I will never let you suffer a little grievance." ”
I didn't look at him, I looked sideways and heard him say again, "The fridge is full of your favorite dishes, you sit here, I'll cook it for you right away." ”
Before I could speak, Shi Lei had already run towards the kitchen.
I took out my phone, glanced at the screen, and sent a message to Durian, and after a while, Durian replied with a "And Daben?" ”
My heart tightened, and I only felt that the chest cavity was like a thousand pounds of cotton, heavy, but floating there, making me breathless.
There was a ding-dong sound in the kitchen, and I crouched on the couch, staring at my phone in a daze.
Fingertips rolled and rolled across the screen, and finally, stopped at someone's number. Someone's calm expression, someone's gentle tone, someone's somewhat flustered attitude, all made me feel irritable.
Shi Lei really still understands me, he knows which dishes I like, although there are only two of us, he cooks four dishes and one soup.
I could tell he was nervous. I tried to find a chance to talk to him, but he always deliberately avoided my topic, so I couldn't interject at all.
Finally, I asked him: "You know the status of the Liu family in the city better than me, how can you explain to them if you regret your marriage without authorization?" How do you explain it to your aunt? ”
Shi Lei put down his chopsticks, looked at me calmly, and said, "Leave these things to me, and I will go over in person tomorrow." ”
"Shi Lei ......"
"Let's wash and sleep when I'm done, the bedroom is full of fresh sheets, and I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
I looked at Shi Lei's decadent back, but I still couldn't help but not speak.
I can't push him too hard, it's often the straw that crushes the camel.
That night, I slept restlessly.
I woke up very early, I could hear the sound from the kitchen, and when I opened the bedroom door, I could smell the fragrance wafting throughout the room, it turned out that Shi Lei was making breakfast.
The toothbrush and cup are new, and moreover, it's a couple's model. I remember that when Shi Lei and I lived in front of the school, we liked to make couples' things the most. He remembers everything I liked.
When we arrived downstairs at the company, I quickly got out of the car, let out a long breath, and was just about to leave, Shi Lei chased after me, he gently pulled my hair, and said, "I will come to pick you up on time in the evening......"
"Don't use it?"
"Yes." Shi Lei's tone was extremely affirmative.
I nodded and immediately ran towards the company. In the hall, I happened to meet the oncoming durian, she looked at me and asked, "Didn't you go with Daben yesterday?" ”
"How do you know?" I was a little surprised.
"When I came from the platform just now, I watched him leaning against the pillar and smoking, and I wondered, am I dazzled?"
I chewed the durian carefully, put the bag in the durian's hand, and ran out directly through the side door. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw the cigarette butt under the stone pillar, and glanced around, and the figure in front of him on the right was Gao Zijian.
"High ......" I opened my mouth with some excitement, and suddenly closed it again.
Before, I believed that there is an inevitability in all accidents, but now, I dare not think so.
Looking at Gao Zijian's back, I took a soft breath and prepared to turn back.
"Chen Xiaojia!" A familiar voice reached my ears, and I hurriedly turned my head and saw Gao Zijian running towards me excitedly.
He was still wearing the dress he had changed into last night, but the butterfly tie on the neckline didn't know where it went.
"Such a coincidence......" I said with a smile as I looked at Gao Zijian.
"It's quite a coincidence, I'm just passing by, how is it, did you sleep well last night?" Gao Zijian shrugged his shoulders, rubbed his hands, and asked me with a smile.
The strong smell of tobacco hit my nose, and I glanced at Gao Zijian and said, "I smoked a lot!" ”
"No...... I smoked a few. Gao Zijian replied to me.
I lowered my head, suddenly not daring to make eye contact with him.
"What's wrong with you? The dark circles under your eyes seem to be quite serious, and you want to upgrade to become a national treasure? Gao Zijian looked down at me, and I also raised my head to look at him, and my eyes met, and I was suddenly shocked, he was the same.
"Oh...... No," I hurriedly avoided Gao Zijian's eyes, and said casually: "I slept very lightly last night, and I got up early in the morning......"
"Oh, haha, I thought the bed last night wasn't as strong as mine!"
Shi Lei seems to be a taboo for the two of us, and as soon as Gao Zijian's words came out, I didn't know how to continue the topic.
Raising his head and glancing at Gao Zijian, the early morning sun shone on his face, his deep facial features were a little haggard, and a pair of eyes under his thick black eyebrows were shining, and there was no ...... Abnormal.
As the minutes ticked by, I smiled awkwardly and pointed upstairs to the crowd as I watched the crowd pass us, and said, "If it's okay, I'll go up first." ”
Gao Zijian raised his head and looked at me, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and I also looked at him, as if he was expecting something.
After a while, he opened his mouth, regained his previous smile, and said, "Okay, go ahead, pay attention to rest." ”
I nodded lightly, turned around and left, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by an arm, and when I turned around, I saw Gao Zijian's sunny smile, "I almost scared you out last night, don't be afraid, it's okay!" ”
"Che, do you think I'm the kind of person who gets scared casually? Don't forget, I'm a woman! I shook off Gao Zijian's hand and rushed directly into the hall.
Things have come to this point, I thought it was already the worst, but I never expected it......
