Chapter 68: I'm just a little tired
"What I want to say has been said." Gu Shi'an's tone was very light.
Chen Xiao's brain turned fast, narrowed his eyes, stared at her for a moment, and said, "Suspect her car, I gave the house?" After a slight pause, he continued, "Are you paranoid?" ”
"No, you're wrong, I don't have paranoia. It should be that there are a lot of paranoia around you, or you have it yourself. That's why everyone thinks it's paranoid. It was rare for Gu Shi'an to say so many words in one mouthful, and after speaking, he looked at Chen Xiao, and then said: "I have never had the habit of doubting and speculating without any evidence. didn't say that her house and car were all given by you, but just stating a fact of existence. ”
Chen Xiao looked at the rear lights in front of him, stopped the car, and then glanced sideways at Gu Shi'an, and said, "I think you're too excited." ”
His gaze fell on Gu Shi'an's world, faintly. Then he said, "You don't have to tempt me with such words. Rest assured, I am not a promiscuous brute, and I am absolutely loyal to my marriage. ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered his parents' marriage. She fell silent and did not speak for a moment. She didn't feel happy, only ridiculous. It was really completely unnecessary for him to bind himself with such an unwilling marriage.
She was silent for a moment, then said, "You're thinking too much, I'm not trying to test you. I'm just a little tired. ”
Her words were inaudible, her tone was a little tired, she looked sideways out the window, and then said, "This is far from the old mansion." Grandma said last night that we should move back to ...... Wedding room. I won't go back then. You have the handle on Chang Yan in your hand, and you don't have to worry that I won't listen to you. As long as there is something going on Grandma's side, I will go back immediately. My grandmother's side has to ask for your cooperation. ”
Dealing with the elders of both sides together, this is the only tacit consensus reached by the two.
Her tone was very light, and at the same time, the logic of her words was very clear.
Chen Xiao simply parked the car on the side of the road, squinted at Gu Shi'an, and said, "You have already planned this, right?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't speak, nor did he go to look at him.
He was already impatient, so he started the car and said, "Whatever you want." ”
He had always been impatient with such things, and never spoke again.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak anymore and closed his eyes.
The old lady's illness gradually improved, and naturally she refused to let the two go back and forth every day. After the two went back that night, they told Chen Xiao that they would just come over on the weekend in the future.
The old house is a bit remote, and you have to waste a lot of time just on the road every day.
Chen Xiao rarely disobeyed the old lady's intentions and responded. Probably still worried about the old lady, and asked the old lady to go to live with the marriage room, but the old lady refused, and said with a smile that she had lived in the old mansion for decades. I am not used to going to a strange place.
On the last night of the old mansion, Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep over and over, his mind was empty and seemed to contain a lot of things, and he fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn.
has already agreed with Chen Xiao, and she went directly back to the house left by her parents after work that day. She hadn't been back for too long, and she felt a little strange when she got on the bus.
You have everything in the old house, but you don't have to buy anything. After getting out of the car, she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables as usual, and when she passed by the community convenience store, she bought a few more cans of beer.
I didn't come back for more than ten days. There is a faint smell of dust in the house. She put her things down and began to clean up. By the time she finished cooking and eating, it was already past nine o'clock, and she couldn't eat much by herself, so she only made two dishes. I didn't eat it at the table, I put the dishes on the small table casually, and sat down to eat it on the ground with a cushion.
Obviously, this is her home, probably because she hasn't been back for too long, so familiar, but so strange.
She didn't eat, she drank beer. After drinking a few cans of beer, she faintly felt relaxed. Long looked up at the ceiling. After drinking the beer she bought, she didn't bother to clean it up, walked to the bedroom with vain steps, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep groggy.
Gu Shi'an woke up the next day and lay empty on the bed for a long time, then got up and washed. It was not early now, she didn't have time to make breakfast, and when she went to the gate of the community, she bought a pancake fruit and a bag of milk.
This day seemed to go back to a long time ago, waiting for the bus at the bus station Gu Shi'an was in a trance for a moment. Seeing the car coming back and forth, I got into the car.
In the afternoon, Gu Shi'an originally planned to work overtime, but as soon as he came back from pouring himself a glass of water, his mobile phone rang. She picked up her mobile phone and saw that the call turned out to be from Qin Tang. She picked it up. As soon as he called Mr. Qin, Qin Tang on the other end of the phone asked, "Haven't gotten off work yet?" ”
Gu Shi'an remembered the meal he said, and said something quickly. After a slight pause, she asked tentatively, "Are you back?" ”
Qin Tang hummed lightly on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm downstairs in your company now." ”
Gu Shi'an sighed at this time, and immediately began to pack his bag, saying, "I'll come down immediately." ”
When she went downstairs, Qin Tang had already gotten out of the car and was standing on the side of the road. The dim street lamps were already on, and he was wearing a dark gray coat, and the snowflakes that had fallen on his brow and eyes at some point were scattered.
Gu Shi'an trotted over, and when he saw him, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”
She ran out of breath, and Qin Tang said lightly after a few seconds: "I went back to my home, and I brought you some special products by the way." ”
Gu Shi'an was a little embarrassed at this time, and said, "Don't be so troublesome." ”
She owed Qin Tang a meal before she was invited, who would have thought that he would bring her special products again.
Qin Tang didn't agree with her words. He looked at the time and said, "Didn't you say invite me to dinner?" It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today. I just hadn't eaten. ”
Eating is not a big deal, and it is true that you can eat it at any time. The problem is that Gu Shi'an boasted about the sea crossing that day.
But she has a lot of things to do in the past few days, so she didn't tell Chang Yan at all. Not to mention preparing in advance.
She hesitated and said, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon, I'll call and ask first." ”
Qin Tang was also very patient and nodded.
Gu Shi'an hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Chang Yan. But unfortunately, Chang Yan was not here today, but was holding a birthday banquet for people outside.
Gu Shi'an was completely dumbfounded, and after hanging up the phone, he glanced at Qin Tang and said, "My friend is not here." Afraid that Qin Tang would think she was shirking, she hurriedly said again: "If you don't dislike it, go to my house." I buy groceries and cook them myself. ”
This is much more sincere than choosing outside.
Qin Tang didn't say anything, opened the car door, and let Gu Shi'an get into the car.
Gu Shi'an's family didn't have much to eat, so when he passed by the big supermarket, he asked Qin Tang to stop the car and go in to buy vegetables.
Originally, she was going to go alone, but who knew that Qin Tang also unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
At this time, the supermarket was still lively, and when he entered the door, Gu Shi'an pushed the cart and walked around the vegetable and fruit area. From time to time, he asked Qin Tang what he wanted to eat.
Her eyes were clear and translucent, and she lowered her head to pick after asking.
Qin Tang's answer was the same, as if he was not a picky eater, and the answer was okay.
Naturally, there are a few hard dishes for a treat, Gu Shi'an went to buy meat after selecting vegetables, and bought a fish and shrimp by the way.
She moved quickly, and when she left the supermarket, she was already sweating profusely.
When she got into the car, Qin Tang took out a tissue and handed it to her, she took it a little embarrassed and said thank you. Then the address was reported.
Qin Tang's body paused slightly when he heard her address, Gu Shi'an didn't feel anything, and said, "I live here now, the old house left by my parents." ”
Qin Tang nodded and did not speak.
The old house was not far from her company, but it didn't take long to arrive. The parking space in the community was grabbed, and the car turned around a few times to find a vacant one.
After getting out of the car, Gu Shi'an opened the trunk and took the car out. was about to go upstairs, but saw Qin Tang standing still and didn't move.
She called out to Mr. Qin suspiciously.
Qin Tang looked around and said lightly, "The changes here are not big. ”
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment and said, "Have you been here?" ”
Qin Tang hummed lightly.
Gu Shi'an was inexplicably in a trance for a moment, and said, "Where you are standing, there used to be a swing. She remembers very well that this used to be her paradise on summer evenings.
But she didn't know when it was demolished, and when she came back, it was suddenly gone, and it became a parking space.
She came to her senses quickly. He walked into the corridor and said, "Be careful, it's dark in the corridor." ”
The house is decades old, and although the corridor is clean, the light overhead is dim. It's like chaotic eyes blurred by time.
Qin Tang didn't speak all the way, but Gu Shi'an reminded him to be careful from time to time.
When he entered the house and turned on the light, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qin Tang standing at the door, he said, "You come in and sit, you don't need to change your shoes." ”
Qin Tang entered the house, Gu Shi'an still had to cook, and he couldn't accompany him. After making him a cup of tea, he went into the kitchen.
Qin Tang couldn't help, and he didn't say anything to help. I looked around at the two bedrooms and one living room, which was not too big.
As with the community, there has not been much change here. There are clocks on the walls that no longer move, and the wall tables, tables, chairs, and chairs are still there, the same as they were many years ago.
Qin Tang suddenly felt a little trance. He didn't drink the tea that Gu Shi'an made for him, and after sitting for a while, he stood on the balcony and smoked.
When Gu Shi'an came out with the food, he was still standing on the balcony, but he didn't smoke anymore, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The back is extremely lonely.
Gu Shi'an put the dishes on the table one by one, and then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qin, it's time to eat." ”
Qin Tang responded with a good word now. Looking at the time without a trace, her movements were quite fast, and the meal was ready in less than an hour.
The dishes on the table are quite rich for two people, boiled prawns, steamed fish, braised pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried choy sum, cabbage and tofu soup.
Gu Shi'an also took out a bottle of red wine and opened it, smiled at Qin Tang, and said, "It's very simple, don't dislike it." This wine was collected by my father when he was there, you can try it. ”
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and she continued: "It's snowing, and there will definitely be traffic jams on the road later, if you don't dislike it, I'll pack up the guest room and come out, and you will stay and leave tomorrow." ”
Her tone was serious.
Originally, he thought that Qin Tang would not agree, but he did not hesitate to say a good word.
Gu Shi'an naturally didn't say it casually, poured two glasses of wine, then raised the glass, and said seriously: "Mr. Qin, I salute you, thank you for your care again and again." I'll do it first for respect. ”
She raised her glass as she spoke, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Tang said lightly, you don't have to be polite, raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine.
He didn't know what he remembered. After a pause, he asked, "After Ling Zun passed away, you have been living here?" ”
Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask about this topic, he was slightly stunned, lowered his head and picked up the shrimp and peeled it slowly, and said, "No, I have lived in the old mansion for a while." ”
Qin Tang stopped talking now.
The atmosphere was a little dull, and Gu Shi'an changed the topic.
Qin Tang had few words and hardly spoke. Most of the time, Gu Shi'an was talking.
Qin Tang is a good listener, and when he was slightly drunk, Gu Shi'an suddenly talked about his parents. Under the light, her face was smiling, but it was so sad.
Probably because of the drinking, her thoughts were intermittent, as if she was talking to herself, and her eyes were red unconsciously.
The dishes on the table didn't move much, and Gu Shi'an finally fell asleep on the table.
Qin Tang took out a cigarette and lit it after smoking, then got up and carried her to the bedroom. She was unconscious, and the person was curled up in a ball as soon as she landed on the bed.
Qin Tang pulled the quilt and covered her. I stood for a moment before turning off the lights and going out.
He didn't care about the dishes on that table, and stood on the balcony for a long time before he went in to clean up, and then went to wash.
Some years the bathroom is stocked with new toiletries, but pajamas and slippers. Qin Tang rarely washed up indiscriminately, entered the guest room, closed his clothes and lay down, and closed his eyes.
When Gu Shi'an got up the next day, it was already bright, and she patted her head in annoyance for a moment. I got up quickly.
The living room was quiet, and Qin Tang's coat was gone.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door of the guest room and knocked. There was no sound inside, and she pushed the door open. The guest room was empty, and Qin Tang had already left.
The quilts are neatly folded, and they probably leave after dawn.
Gu Shi'an patted his head again, and now he was almost late for work. She didn't have time to think about it, and quickly went to wash.
When I was about to leave, I went to pour water, only to find a piece of paper on the table. Powerful handwriting: Thank you for your hospitality. There is a trip to leave.
He was very polite.
Gu Shi'an remembered that he came last night, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and touched the tip of his nose.
I didn't drink much last night, and I don't know why I got drunk. Gu Shi'an's stomach was uncomfortable, and his head was also dizzy. It was rare that she didn't buy breakfast by the way, so when she was waiting for the car, she went to a breakfast shop not far away, bought a cup of millet porridge to nourish her stomach, and asked for two small buns.
Just as he was about to start eating porridge, his mobile phone rang, and it was Assistant Cao calling. She must have some instructions from Xu Wei when she called, Gu Shi'an stopped drinking the porridge, quickly picked up the phone, and called Assistant Cao.
Cao Yutong was probably also catching the car, and there was a lot of commotion over there. opened his mouth and said, "Miss Gu shouldn't have arrived at the company yet, right?" Manager Xu just called me and asked you to go directly to the construction site. There are some details that she wants to confirm with you. ”
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment and said, "Has Manager Xu already passed?" ”
"No, it was Director Li in the past. It's the one who took you to the construction site last time. She said patiently, and then said: "You don't have to worry, it's still early, Director Li should have just left." ”
Gu Shi'an responded now.
Although Cao Yutong told her not to rush, she immediately changed her mind about crowding the bus and walked to the side of the road to stop the bus.
Her tone was good, and it didn't take long for an empty car to stop. She breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and took advantage of the time she was in the car to quickly solve the breakfast. Then I called Xiao Wang and said that I would not go to the company in the morning, and asked her to call her if she had something.
There was no traffic jam here, Gu Shi'an got out of the car, and just paid for the car and was about to leave, when the horn sounded.
She turned around and found that Chen Xiao's car was parked behind her. She blocked her way to the parking lot.
She immediately stepped aside, and Chen Xiao didn't care about the horn behind her, glanced at her, and asked, "What are you still doing here?" ”
Gu Shi'an replied calmly: "I took the job, and it was in that building." ”
She said, gesturing.
Chen Xiao glanced at her sympathetically, didn't say hello, suddenly started the car and raced past her.
Gu Shi'an was a little inexplicable. But he didn't say a word, and walked to the entrance ahead.
When it was time to get off work, Gu Shi'an went back shopping for vegetables as usual. When she opened the refrigerator, she remembered that she hadn't moved much of the food she had made last night.
If you have, you don't have to do it anymore. She was a little tired, so she sighed softly and sat down on the sofa.
The room was very quiet, she sat in a trance for a while, remembering Qin Tanglai, who had left in the morning, and still sent him a text message to thank him.
obviously invited him to dinner, but in the end it troubled him.
Qin Tang didn't reply this time.
Gu Shi'an was inexplicably hollow, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. It seems that the voice on the TV is not so cold.
She sat down in a daze until eight o'clock, hungry, and then got up to go to hot food.
Time flies, and it's almost the weekend. Gu Shi'an bought a birthday gift for the old lady in advance, the old lady lacked nothing, she couldn't find anything to buy, and finally bought a lot of supplements for the old lady.
She had already told Chen Xiao that she was afraid that he would forget, so she sent him another text message a day in advance.
She originally thought that Chen Xiao would not return. This time, he came back quickly, and it didn't take long for him to come back and know.
Although he was not treated well in the Gu family, the old lady's birthday Gu Shi'an had to pass early. She called Chen Xiao when she got up, but Chen Xiao didn't know if she hadn't gotten up or what, the phone was turned off.
Gu Shi'an didn't think much about it, and sent him a text message before going out, telling him to go over first. Let him call him when the time comes.
Gu Shi'an passed early, and the rare Gu family arrived. Including her aunt and uncle, and her cousin's family.
Looking at it this way, it seems that Gu Shi'an is lonely.
I don't know if it's intentional or not. Her sister-in-law looked outside and said with a smile, "Didn't my brother-in-law come over?" ”
The relationship between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao is known to everyone in the Gu family, and she is asking knowingly.
The lobby sister Gu Lan's face showed a little embarrassment, and just about to say something, Gu Su on the side stretched out her voice and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, are you asking knowingly." Brother-in-law busy. When she said this, she looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Yes, cousin." ”
Gu Shi'an, who was singing in harmony, didn't know that she was deliberately ridiculing herself, her face didn't change at all, and she smiled slightly. said: "He has something to do, come over later." ”
Gu Su looked at the sister-in-law in the lobby triumphantly and said, "You see I guessed right, right?" ”
It was a bit too much for them to do this, Gu Lan stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shi'an's hand, and said without waiting for his younger siblings to speak again: "Let's go, grandma has been thinking about you for a long time, I'll take you over." ”
She was relieving Gu Shi'an, although Gu Shi'an didn't care about their sarcasm, but she still smiled and said thank you.
If there is anyone in this family besides the old lady who is kind to Gu Shi'an, it is Gu Lan.
But she is much different in age from Gu Shi'an, she was already in college when Gu Shi'an was in the old house, and she would only come back during the holidays. There is only a limit to what can help Gu Shi'an.
What Gu Shi'an knew best was that she took her out of the small dark room that time, she didn't react, but her eyes were red.
The culprits were Gu Su and Gu Qian, and she immediately took her to Xu Jiarong. Xu Jiarong had just come out of the outside at that time, and in the face of Gu Lan's complaint, he just said lightly that children were playing, so he no longer paid attention to Gu Lan.
Gu Lan went to her mother again. Gu Shi'an's eldest aunt was scolded for being nosy. and warned her not to stab in front of the old lady, after all, if she stabbed in front of the old lady, it would be tantamount to offending Xu Jiarong's family.
Gu Shi'an is just an orphan girl, and it is obviously inappropriate to offend people for her.
In the end, the matter was settled. Gu Lan was unhappy at that time, looking at Gu Shi'an sadly, asking her to leave the Gu family as soon as she had the ability.
Gu Shi'an didn't understand why she was unhappy at that time, until two years later, Gu Lan was forced to marry Qiu Shengmin, Shifeng's younger son.
She probably knows that she can't be the master of her own destiny, and although there are many suitors, she has never been in love.
On the eve of her marriage, a senior brother who had been chasing her for many years came to confess to her. She didn't go out, and let the senior brother stand outside the Gu family's old mansion all night.
