Chapter 124: Insomnia
She couldn't think of anyone who would play such a joke on herself. She took a deep breath, and was about to speak, when the man said, "I'm very sorry to disturb you, and please don't embarrass me, and you can take this flower as well, so that I can go back and pay for it." ”
Probably knowing that this was too much, he took a step back.
Compared with being followed by people holding flowers, Gu Shi'an is naturally more willing to accept flowers. Without saying a word, she took the flower from the man's hand.
The man was still talking, bowed slightly to her, and turned to leave.
Gu Shi'an was a little at a loss holding a bouquet of flowers, the flowers were innocent, she didn't turn around and threw them into the trash. After a slight pause, he went to eat with Xiao Wang.
When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock, and after washing, Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep in bed. She pondered for a long time, and couldn't think of anyone who would send her flowers.
Still had no idea, she simply didn't think about it. I forced myself to close my eyes.
She had some insomnia during this time, although she was lying in bed. But it was still just after one o'clock in the morning before I went to sleep.
The next day she got up early. It was still early before the time to go to work, so she made breakfast.
When I went out, it was the same as usual, and when I got downstairs, I saw Chen Xiao's car parked downstairs. She was slightly stunned, and before she could take a step, Chen Xiao opened the car door and walked out of the car.
After leaving the temple in the middle of the night, he had not appeared. Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was doing here, so he didn't move for a while.
Chen Xiao didn't come over, opened the car door casually, and said, "Let's go, send you to work." ”
He is even more confused by Gu Shi'an like this. With his character, after slamming the door that night, when he saw her now, he should have a black face, not just nothing.
Gu Shi'an quickly retracted his gaze, looked down at the fallen leaves on the ground, and said, "No, just say something here." ”
Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You're not in a hurry to go to work?" "He's a rare person who thinks about people.
She was pinching the door a little bit, and if she delayed, she would definitely be late.
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.
"Get in the car, don't worry, I can't eat you." He has been looking at Gu Shi'an. Standing next to the car door, he didn't move.
That's the time to go to work. From time to time, people come in and out of the corridor. Standing like this is undoubtedly conspicuous. Gu Shi'an didn't entangle with him much and got into the car.
Chen Xiao quickly got into the car from the other side, and when Gu Shi'an fastened his seat belt and raised his head, he found that there was some breakfast on the side.
Chen Xiao didn't look at her, he clenched his fist against his lips and coughed, and said, "Eat, I brought it to you by the way." ”
"No, I've already eaten it." Gu Shi'an replied, looking sideways out the window.
At this time, there are many people going to work, some cars occupy the road, and some cars turn around. It took a long time to go out in the community.
Chen Xiao didn't speak, waiting for the car to go out, and then Gu Shi'an said, "Just say something." ”
Chen Xiao cleared his throat again, softened his voice and said, "It's okay, I came here to send me to work." Daughter-in-law, don't make a fuss. Come home with me. Without you at home, I'll go back to be lonely. I'm not used to it, and I haven't slept well for many days. ”
He made a pitiful look. He pointed to his eyes again, and then said, "Look, I have dark circles under my eyes." ”
As he spoke, he moved his whole face to Gu Shi'an's side.
Gu Shi'an didn't look at it, paused slightly, and said, "Chen Xiao, I am serious about divorce. It's not joking, or angry. ”
She said and pinned her face to the side.
As if he hadn't heard her, Chen Xiao salivated and said with a hippie smile: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I know I used to be a pretty asshole, and I always hurt you. But I promise that from now on I won't. I swear. In the future, I will definitely obey your daughter-in-law, and whatever you say is what you say. Will you come home with me? Or I'll live with you. You can't bear to see me alone, can you? ”
He is like this, obviously he has never taken Gu Shi'an's words about divorce seriously. I probably always thought that she was angry and joking.
Obviously, he can't talk about it like this. Gu Shi'an simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but did not speak.
originally thought that Chen Xiao was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, and drove honestly.
He understood Gu Shi'an's thoughts very well, and this time he didn't drive the car to the door of Gu Shi'an's company, and stopped at the intersection where she got off before.
When Gu Shi'an got out of the car, he said with a hippie smile: "Daughter-in-law, I'll come to pick you up again in the afternoon." After he said this, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to answer, and drove away directly.
Gu Shi'an couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so he stood in place for a while, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and then walked to the company.
Her resignation was handed in, and I don't know who revealed it. When it was time to eat at noon, a colleague who usually had a good relationship came over and asked her if she was leaving.
Gu Shi'an didn't want to make a fuss, so he pretended to be surprised and asked who said it.
The colleague was a little puzzled, and vaguely said that it was news from the personnel department. asked her if she was leaving because of Luo Yun.
Gossip is loved by everyone, and Gu Shi'an directly said that there is no such thing at this time. Later, someone asked her to simply smile and say nothing.
In the afternoon, it started to rain outside, and the temperature dropped a bit. Gu Shi'an wore little clothes when he went out in the morning, and sneezed a few times in the office.
She brought a few things with her, but most of them were still in the upstairs office. Now that the resignation report has been handed in, the things have to be collected.
But when she went to collect it during work hours, she was obviously telling everyone that she was leaving. After getting off work, she let Xiao Wang go. I plan to wait for my colleagues to leave and then go up and pack my things. She didn't bring an umbrella, and she couldn't walk outside when it was raining.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and she waited for half an hour, estimating that her colleagues were gone, and then went up to pack her things.
Upstairs was really quiet, she hadn't been to work for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little in a trance. There was a slight pause in his footsteps, and then he walked in the direction of the office.
She's been here for a few years, and there's a lot she left behind. There are many that I am used to. Miscellaneous things were collected, and a cardboard box was collected.
She didn't finish it completely, leaving some things on the bright side still there. After packing her things, she stood in the office for a long time, then turned off the lights, closed the door, and walked downstairs with the cardboard box.
It was raining, and she obviously couldn't take the box with her. I went to the reference room and found a place to put my things down.
Just as I was about to go out in the rain, my phone rang. She took out her mobile phone and saw that the call was from Chen Xiao.
Gu Shi'an had no intention of answering, and he didn't hang up, letting it ring. I closed the door and walked outside with my bag on my back, planning to go to the front desk first to see if there was an umbrella on the front desk.
She was delayed for a long time, and there were still people at the front desk, and she had already left work. Gu Shi'an walked to the door, and when he saw that the rain was not very strong, he put his bag on his head, planning to rush to the bus stop in one go and find a way.
But before she left, the people on the side put an umbrella over her head.
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment and looked up. Chen Xiao ripped off the mask on his face and said innocently: "It's raining, you didn't pick me up when you called." He quickly put on his mask again and said, "Let's go, don't worry, no one will recognize me." ”
Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would hide in front of this. didn't say anything, still put the bag on his head. Walk in the direction of the bus stop.
Her steps were fast, but Chen Xiao's umbrella was always on her head. Probably knowing her intentions, he reached out to the side of the road and grabbed her clothes, and said, "Daughter-in-law, the car is over there." After a slight pause, she continued: "Don't make trouble, you will catch a cold when it rains, not for fun." Get in the car first, and we'll talk about it when we get back. ”
There was something seductive in his tone.
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, he only knew to walk in the direction of the bus stop. Chen Xiao was still at her at first, but after walking a few steps, he reached out and grabbed her again, and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't make trouble." You see your trouser legs are already wet. ”
He's very careful now. But no, Gu Shi'an walked fast, and the underside of his trouser legs was now wet.
Now the rain is falling heavily. The raindrops on the ground splashed even harder. The umbrella in Chen Xiao's hand was biased towards Gu Shi'an's side, and his left side was already wet.
Gu Shi'an knows his character too well, so it is obviously pointless to stalemate. She paused slightly, then turned around and walked towards the side where Chen Xiao had parked.
Chen Xiao let go of her hand at this time, and when he got to the side of the car, he opened the car door for Gu Shi'an very politely. Waiting for Gu Shi'an to get into the car, he closed the car door and got into the car himself.
His coat was completely wet, and he took it off when he got in the car. Turn on the heat in your car. took out a dry towel and handed it to Gu Shi'an to wipe the water droplets on her body.
Gu Shi'an took it and wiped the splashed water on his coat. Didn't take care of the pant legs that were already wet.
Chen Xiao took the towel she had wiped and wiped himself casually, and then said to Gu Shi'an: "The shoes are also wet, right?" Take it off when it's wet and be careful of catching a cold. ”
Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and he didn't take off his shoes.
Chen Xiao touched the ash of his nose, and he was not discouraged. With a smile on his face, he talked about the interesting things that happened in his company.
He looked at Gu Shi'an's face as he spoke, and after talking for a while, seeing that Gu Shi'an didn't speak, he reached out and touched his nose, and stopped talking.
There was a traffic jam on the rainy road, and the heating in the car was turned on sufficiently. Although Gu Shi'an's trouser legs were already wet, they were not cold at all.
The traffic radio played the congested section of the city, Chen Xiao's fingers tapped on the steering wheel, looked at the time, and looked at Gu Shi'an. Salivating with a face, he said, "Daughter-in-law, the traffic jam is terrible." What do you want to eat, or do you want to go back after eating? I know there's a restaurant nearby and the dim sum is good, why don't you try it? ”
He is not used to Gu Shi'an like this.
She didn't plan to talk to him, but she was afraid that she would go over directly, so she said, "No." ”
"Don't want to eat Cantonese food?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Whether it's before or after marriage, all the time the two are together. He's never been so low.
Gu Shi'an endured and endured, and finally said: "You don't have to be like this, and you can't do this." "He's acting like she's being unreasonable.
She opened her mouth to speak, and Chen Xiao wanted to get more inches, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I really know that I am wrong. Just don't make a fuss, okay. I promised my grandmother that I would have a good time with you. ”
His tone was serious.
It turned out that he was like this, just because he promised the old lady.
When it comes to the old lady, Gu Shi'an is in a trance. She was speechless for a moment. Chen Xiao over there had fallen silent suddenly. For a moment no one spoke.
There was a traffic jam all the way, and Chen Xiao wanted to take out a cigarette several times to smoke. But in the end, none of them were drawn.
When the car arrived outside Gu Shi'an's community, Gu Shi'an said, "I'll just get off here." ”
Where would Chen Xiao let her get off, and drove the car directly into the community. At this time, everyone in the community has already left work, and the parking space is tight.
His luck was good, he drove downstairs, and there was a rare car by the flower bed on the side. Gu Shi'an opened the car door and got out of the car, and he immediately followed the door and got out of the car.
Gu Shi'an looked back at him now.
Chen Xiao's face is thick-skinned, and he is not at all uncomfortable on his face. Pointing to the coat on his body, he said, "Can you bear to let me go back in wet clothes?" ”
Gu Shi'an was moved, he immediately found a new excuse, and said, "Didn't I have a tie from you last time?" I'll go up and look for it. If you don't find me, I'll leave immediately. ”
He was just looking for an excuse, and Gu Shi'an replied without thinking about it: "No." ”
Chen Xiao smiled slyly and said, "I didn't tell you where it fell, how do you know if you haven't?" ”
Gu Shi'an couldn't help choking at this time, and Chen Xiao had already swaggered upstairs.
His skin is really not ordinarily thick, and he stops when he arrives at the door. Waiting for Gu Shi'an to open the door.
Gu Shi'an opened the door quickly, and she didn't go inside. He tossed the key aside and said, "Look for it, find it wherever you want." If you can't find it, leave immediately. ”
She had already lost the tie, where would Chen Xiao find it. His purpose was not there, he looked around and muttered, "It's cold, I'm sure I'm going to catch a cold." I need to have a cup of hot water. ”
He used to come over like an uncle, but now he is not. I walked in the direction of the kitchen, intending to boil hot water by myself.
Gu Shi'an realized now that it was a completely wrong decision to let him in.
She stood still, took a deep breath, and said, "You just said that you will leave when you find something." ”
Chen Xiao had already gone into the kitchen, and he didn't know if he heard it or not. It took almost two minutes for him to come out and see Gu Shi'an still standing in place. He smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be so serious." I just want to drink a cup of hot water, you won't even be willing to give me water, will you? You see, my clothes are already wet. ”
As he spoke, he took off his coat and handed it to Gu Shi'an, motioning for Gu Shi'an to take a look. After a pause, he continued, "For the sake of me sending you back, let me drink a cup of hot water before leaving." If I catch a cold, you won't feel distressed. ”
His face was very big.
Gu Shi'an didn't bother to talk to him, and said, "Ghosts will feel distressed." ”
She didn't pay attention to him, and went straight to the bedroom to change clothes. When he was waiting to come out, Chen Xiao had already taken a glass of water and sat on the sofa. He was not polite at all, and turned on the TV as well.
Seeing Gu Shi'an, he deliberately raised the water in the cup, and repeated again: "I'll leave after drinking." ”
Gu Shi'an ignored him, poured himself a cup of hot water and drank it, and then went directly to the kitchen.
Out of sight and out of mind, she simply didn't go out. I started cooking in the kitchen. The meal eaten by one person is simple, a stir-fried broccoli, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, and a little cabbage tofu soup. It was done in half an hour.
There was no sound in the living room, and she originally thought that Chen Xiao had left. was about to bring the meal out first, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Xiao standing lazily at the kitchen door.
Gu Shi'an's brows furrowed suddenly, and he asked, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
Chen Xiao raised the glass in his hand again and said, "I haven't finished drinking a glass of water yet." After he finished speaking, he went into the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks, and said very seriously: "And to be a guest, you have to have the consciousness of being a guest, and the host has already entered the kitchen to cook." Of course, you have to eat before leaving. How can you waste a piece of your master's heart, you say? ”
There are a lot of crooked truths in him, and this cheek is even thicker than anyone who has ever come before or since. Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to refute for a while, and watched him walk out with dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing Gu Shi'an go out, he turned against the guest this time, and beckoned her to sit down and eat, it would be cold later.
Chen Xiao obviously didn't leave, and volunteered to wash the dishes after eating.
He didn't want to leave, Gu Shi'an couldn't help him, Gu Shi'an didn't care about him, and went to wash. She didn't have the desire to talk to Chen Xiao, and when she came out of the wash, she went directly to the study.
Now that she has submitted her resignation report, she naturally has to look for a job.
There are a lot of positions recruited online, and they are all varied. Gu Shi'an browsed around, picked a few that he thought were better, and submitted resumes.
After submitting her resume, she initiated a stay. I sat in the study for a long time, and then I went out until it was too early.
The living room was empty, although the TV was still on. But there is no Chen Xiaoren.
She stayed in the study for more than two hours, thinking that Chen Xiao had already left. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she walked to the sofa, only to find that he had not left at all, but had fallen asleep on the sofa.
He looks like he hasn't washed up yet, and he should have fallen asleep watching TV. There was already an even sound of breathing, and it didn't look like it was pretending.
Gu Shi'an's footsteps stopped, and he stood for a while before entering the bedroom.
Chen Xiao was woken up by freezing, and the light in the living room was on when he woke up. He was in a slight trance, and when he came to his senses, he remembered that he was on Gu Shi'an's side.
He reached out and rubbed his brow. Remembering that Gu Shi'an was still in the study, he walked to the study.
He reached out and knocked on the door of the study. There was no reaction. When I pushed it out, I found that it was pitch black inside, and there were still people there.
Chen Xiao then remembered to look at the time, and it was already more than twelve o'clock. He slept for hours.
Chen Xiao was in a trance for a moment, and looked down at the clothes on his body. Just go straight to the bathroom.
There were no pajamas for him here, so he simply wrapped himself in a bath towel and came out directly. He had always been thick-skinned and used to it, and when he came out, he went straight to the bedroom.
It wasn't until he reached for the doorknob that he realized it was locked from the inside. This was something he hadn't expected. He was slightly stunned.
He had already slept just now, and he couldn't sleep now. I simply picked up the clothes I wore again, put them on, stood on the balcony, smoked a cigarette and lit it.
He's so cheeky, and a little bit of a liar. He hadn't slept well in a long time.
When the old lady died, he was depressed. The time that started was night and night shopping. After dealing with the old lady's will, there are many things in the company, and he almost always goes out early and returns late.
When I got home from work one morning, I found that my home was empty. There is no figure of Gu Shi'an.
At first, he thought she was working overtime and didn't care. When he went to the bedroom, he found that her things were gone.
Habits are scary things. I didn't think it before, but now I suddenly felt that the whole room was terrifyingly empty.
Chen Xiao's thoughts paused slightly, and he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand. He didn't leave, he couldn't get into the bedroom, so he went to the study next door. Then he closed his eyes and lay down on the cramped bed.
Even though his eyes are closed, his mind is very clear. Chen Xiao just lay motionless. Lying down for so long, I don't know what comes to mind. He sat up again, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked.
His addiction to smoking during this period was great, and he had cigarettes almost all the time on his body.
I smoked most of the pack of cigarettes and sat for a long time. It wasn't until the sky lit up that he closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.
He had overslept and woke up the next morning in the quiet of the house. Gu Shi'an didn't know when he would leave early.
Chen Xiao stood in the living room for a while before going to wash. Before I finished washing, my phone rang in the living room. He didn't care, waited to go out, and then picked up his phone and dialed it back and forth.
The call was from Assistant Sun, and Chen Xiao dialed back without asking him what was the matter. Instead, he was lazy and lazy and asked him to see where there was a restaurant with a mood and suitable for eating.
