Chapter 122: Sarcasm
He never cared about this kind of thing, and he didn't know how his memory was so good this time.
Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to change his number to call him, looked at his phone again, and replied without thinking: "I didn't see your things." ”
Her tone was cold and hard. She didn't plan to tell Chen Xiao about the fact that the tie had been thrown away, and she didn't want to have an entanglement with him, so she was about to hang up the phone.
Before the phone hung up, a couple of young couples who came to travel came over, and the girl called her sister sweetly and asked her where the temple was going.
Gu Shi'an pointed out the direction to the two of them.
The girl was lively, and when she saw her carrying a bag, she asked her if she was going to the temple.
Gu Shi'an nodded now. The girl asked if they could go together. The two of them came from other places and didn't know the road, although they did a simple travel guide, but it was not much use to come at the moment.
Gu Shi'an nodded in agreement. When she was about to put the phone in her pocket, she found that the phone did not hang up, and she hung up the phone now. Then he took the two of them in the direction of the temple.
The incense in the temple here is prosperous, and there are quite a lot of people along the way. The girl chattered all the way and asked Gu Shi'an where the city was fun. Where to eat.
Gu Shi'an thought for a while, told her what he knew, and recommended a few places to them.
The girl wrote them down one by one with a pen, and then thanked Gu Shi'an.
When they arrived at the temple, the two of them were going to walk around. Gu Shi'an was going to find the old lady and said goodbye to the two.
Because the old lady comes every year, Gu Shi'an is familiar with this temple. A monk knew her, and without waiting for her to ask where the old lady lived, he took her to the old lady's room.
In the past, every time the old lady came to the temple in the month, the temple would specially reserve a guest room for her to stay. But this year, the time for her arrival has been advanced, and the guests in the courtyard where she used to stay have not left. The old lady was arranged to the north wing.
Gu Shi'an was a little worried about the old lady, and asked the monk and the old lady all the way how she was in the temple.
The monk said it was good, it was the same as in previous years.
Gu Shi'an was a little relieved at this time.
The old lady went to listen to the presiding abbot's lecture at this time, and was not in the room. But the aunt was there, and she was quite surprised to see Gu Shi'an, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Gu Shi'an smiled slightly, and said that it was the weekend, and he came to stay here with the old lady for two days.
The aunt was going to call the old lady now, Gu Shi'an stopped her, so that she didn't have to disturb the old lady, she went over by herself, and waited for the old lady by the way.
The temple is clean and there is nothing to entertain. Auntie was embroidering cross-stitch, and Gu Shi'an asked her to keep her busy. Walk alone to the place where the abbot preached.
Although the incense here is prosperous, there are not many people who stay to live. It was clean under the eaves, and there were not even passers-by. There is only the occasional small novice who cleans.
Gu Shi'an didn't walk fast all the way, and the weather on the mountain was colder than up and down. She wore a light coat and tucked her hands tightly into her pockets.
The abbot's lecture was in the main hall, and when Gu Shi'an arrived at the door, he saw the old lady sitting on the futon devoutly.
There were only three or two pilgrims in the main hall, and only the abbot's voice was quiet.
Gu Shi'an was standing at the door and did not go in. The figure of the old lady is rickety, and her silver-white hair is meticulously groomed.
Last year, she wasn't so rickety, and she didn't have that much silver hair. Gu Shi'an's heart was a little sour.
She came late, and the abbot's lecture ended after standing for about ten minutes. She hurried into the hall and prepared to help the old lady up.
Before she could get there, the man next to the old lady helped her up first. When she turned around and saw Gu Shi'an coming over, the old lady was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, and she said angrily: "Why didn't you come here without saying hello?" ”
Gu Shi'an stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's arm, and said with a slight smile: "It's just the weekend, so I want you to come over." ”
The old lady felt sorry for her early morning rush and asked her if she had eaten.
Gu Shi'an replied that he had eaten it.
The old lady was afraid that she would be hungry, so when she returned to the yard, she asked her aunt to see if there were any snacks in the kitchen. And said that the dim sum here tasted good, so let Gu Shi'an try it too.
The grandfather and grandson hadn't seen each other for so long, and the old lady didn't mention the Gu family, but talked about the things in the temple.
Although it is simple here, she should live well here. The center of the eyebrows is stretched.
When Gu Shi'an came, he planned to ask something about the Gu family, but he didn't ask again, just sat with the old lady.
It didn't take long for my aunt to come back with two plates of dim sum, one was the temple's special dim sum flower cake of the season, and the other was mung bean cake.
The mung bean cake here is different from the outside, the recipe has been improved, and it is soft and glutinous, and it is not dry.
The old lady was in good spirits, and after Gu Shi'an ate a snack, she took Gu Shi'an out for a walk. She was in a good mood and talked about the food here. And said with a smile that Gu Shi'an's luck is good, there will be braised vegetarian meatballs at noon today, and the taste is a must.
Gu Shi'an smiled and said that he would have to taste it later.
It's much more comfortable here than in the Gu family's old mansion, at least no one is watching. Gu Shi'an accompanied the old lady for a walk around the mountain, and when it was time to eat, the old lady did not take her back to the small courtyard, but took her directly to the canteen of the temple.
She stayed here for a few days and had a direct and exclusive location.
Gu Shi'an waited for her to sit down before asking her what she wanted to eat, and then went to line up. They came early, there were not many people, and Gu Shi'an went back with two meals in a short time.
The old lady had a good appetite, and Gu Shi'an ate most of the food. After eating, the grandparents and grandchildren slowly walked to the side room where they lived. It was still so far from the ground, and my aunt came up to meet her. smiled and said, "Uncle is here." ”
Before Gu Shi'an could react at this time, the old lady asked, "Chen Xiao is here?" ”
Auntie smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm waiting for you in the room now." It's been a long time, and neither you nor Shi'an have any mobile phones with us, so we just have to wait here. ”
"Why don't you come along?" The old lady looked at Gu Shi'an suspiciously.
How did Gu Shi'an know how Chen Xiao would come over, and before he could answer the old lady's words, Chen Xiao, who heard their voices, walked out of the side room, greeted him with a smile, and called grandma.
The old lady had a smile on her face. asked Chen Xiao again if he had eaten.
Chen Xiao listened to the good behavior, so he said that he didn't eat it. Where would the old lady make him hungry, she immediately told her aunt to go to the cafeteria to fetch food.
Waiting to sit down in the house, the old lady asked, "Why don't you come along?" ”
The two of them are so one after the other, which will naturally arouse her suspicions.
Without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak, Chen Xiao said: "I was on a business trip and just came back in the morning. He didn't blush at all when he lied, and glanced at Gu Shi'an as he spoke.
Hearing him say that he had only come back from a business trip, the old lady immediately felt sorry for him and asked him why he didn't go back to rest first.
Chen Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Gu Shi'an with a smile.
He's like this, there's something the old lady doesn't understand. smiled and asked Chen Xiao to go to rest after eating later. And said that there is a vacant room on the side, and let the aunt go to say hello later.
Chen Xiao fell, and thanked the old lady with a very sweet mouth.
He is better at coaxing the old man to be happy than Gu Shi'an, and the old lady is coaxed by him to laugh from ear to ear.
It wasn't until after eating that Chen Xiao was urged to rest. Since Chen Xia came back from a 'business trip', the young couple naturally haven't seen each other for a few days.
The old lady was very open-minded, and on the grounds that she also wanted to rest, she sent Gu Shi'an out. Let her tidy up the room for Chen Xiao and see what is missing.
Gu Shi'an didn't reveal anything in front of the old lady, and when he entered the room, he looked at Chen Xiao coldly and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
She was surprised when she first saw him, and wondered how he had found it. Later, I remembered that when he was on the phone in the morning, a young couple asked her for directions, and she forgot to hang up the phone at that time. He wasn't surprised at all.
She just didn't know what he was looking for. Have nothing to do?
Naturally, it is not as comfortable as living at home, Chen Xiao took off his coat and threw it aside, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "What, only you can come here?" ”
Gu Shi'an choked, said that he wouldn't win and wouldn't tell him, and he was about to go out immediately.
His hand was placed on the doorknob. Behind him, Chen Xiao's voice came again. He brought some amusement and said, "Grandma hasn't rested yet, aren't you afraid of what she will suspect when you go out now?" ”
She wants to divorce Chen Xiao, sooner or later, she has to tell the old lady. But now, it's not the time.
The Gu family's affairs were originally a mess, and she was unwilling to let the old lady worry about her at this time.
Gu Shi'an's movements paused, and exhaustion welled up from the bottom of his heart. She turned to look up at Chen Xiao and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Her eyes were calm, and there was nothing but tiredness.
Chen Xiao looked at her, originally thinking that he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, lay down next to the bed, and closed his eyes.
Gu Shi'an was reluctant to stay with him, but as he said. Going out at this time would arouse the old lady's suspicions, so she sat down in the house.
The room was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of a needle falling on the floor. Gu Shi'an was so tired that he didn't even want to look at Chen Xiao on the bed.
Chen Xiao didn't know whether he was really asleep or fakely asleep, and for the rest of the time he lay with his eyes closed and didn't speak.
Gu Shi'an sat in the room for more than ten minutes, estimating that the old lady had fallen asleep, and then got up and gently opened the door and went out.
She couldn't find a place to go. Just walk along the verandah. Before I knew it, I walked to the place where the abbot gave a lecture in the morning.
There are still monks preaching the scriptures, but they are no longer abbots. Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused slightly at the door and walked out. Sit down on the futon.
There was a smell of incense in the hall, and it made people quiet for no reason.
Gu Shi'an was in a trance, and it wasn't until the pilgrims dispersed that she realized that she followed suit.
She shook around outside and went back, the old lady and Chen Xiao had already woken up, and she didn't know how Chen Xiao was dangling in front of the old lady, but the old lady didn't ask anything.
Chen Xiao is quite good at pleasing the old lady, so he took out the gift he brought to the old lady at this time.
There was no time to pass the time on the mountain, so he didn't know where to take out a deck of cards and called his aunt to play cards with the old lady.
It was already afternoon, and he didn't mention it. Gu Shi'an was a little irritable, waiting for the old lady and aunt to go out for a walk, and then she asked, "When are you going to go down the mountain?" ”
Chen Xiao glanced at her and asked, "Who told you that I was going down the mountain?" It's very clean and nice to stay for one night. ”
Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would stay. The fingers clenched little by little, and then released little by little. He took a deep breath and asked, "What the hell do you want to do?" I've told you, and I don't see anything left on my side of you. ”
She didn't think that Chen Xiao would come here for a tie, but other than that, she couldn't figure out why he came here.
"I'll find out if it's gone." Chen Xiao said a word, paused slightly, and looked up and down Jing Gu Shi'an. Then he said, "Don't worry, if you're like this, I just can't do anything if I want to." ”
This time, he said that he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to finish speaking, and went out directly.
He is like this, and Gu Shi'an's vigilance is like a punch on cotton. She was powerless and didn't even know how to talk to him.
Chen Xiao's appearance affected her. She could only ignore his presence as much as possible.
The old lady should have seen something, and when it was time for dinner, while Chen Xiao went to get the food, she asked, "Are you and Chen Xiao having a conflict?" ”
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No, where do you want to go." ”
The old lady sighed in a low voice, and suddenly said, "Recently, I often dream of your parents. ”
She rarely mentions Gu Shi'an's mother. Gu Shi'an couldn't help but be stunned.
The old lady was in a trance, paused slightly, and then said: "Shi'an, grandma sometimes thinks that if it wasn't for grandma to stop her...... Your mom and dad, are they all going to be fine? ”
The old lady's eyebrows were a little tired and gloomy, and the initial obstruction became her heart for half of her life. She even wondered more than once that if she had allowed her youngest son to get married, would everything be different now.
Gu Shi'an was also in a trance, and wanted to say something, but the old lady stretched out her hand to stop her. Then he said, "Grandma is not only sorry for your parents, but also for you. I left you in the old house, but my grandmother didn't take good care of you. ”
At the beginning of the Gu family, whether she was bullied or scolded by Sang Huai, she never told the old lady. But the old lady obviously knew what she meant by what she said now.
Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy, and she wasn't sure that the old lady already knew. Trying to calm down as usual, he smiled and said, "Where did you go, didn't I do well?" Where did you fail to take care of me. ”
The old lady was in a trance, wanting to say something, but in the end there was nothing. He patted Gu Shi'an's hand gently.
The grandfather and grandson didn't speak for a while, and then Chen Xiao came over with a meal. The look on the old lady's face was back to the same as before.
For the Chen family, the old lady is concerned. I asked while eating.
She opened her mouth to ask Chen Xiao, but she had to answer all questions. During the period when it was reported in the newspapers, Chan was somewhat affected.
After the will was published, it was all stabilized.
The Chen family is chaotic, whether it is Qi Shiyun's side or Chen Zhengkang's side, it is difficult to speak. The old lady didn't ask. Changed the subject and began to eat.
Since Chen Xiao is here, he naturally wants to live together at night. After Gu Shi'an finished eating, he went to the monks in the temple while the old lady was not paying attention, and wanted to ask for a guest room next to him.
But in the past, I was told that the rooms over there have been booked by the guests, and there are still wings to the south, but they are farther away.
It was obviously inconvenient to be far away, so Gu Shi'an thanked the monk and went back to the canteen.
Since mentioning Gu Shi'an's parents, the old lady's spirit has not been very good, and she went back to the room early after eating.
It's still early, and even those who live in the metropolis can't sleep. The old lady was obviously worried that Chen Xiao wouldn't be able to sleep, and told Gu Shi'an to take him out for a walk and then go back.
Gu Shi'an couldn't find a place to turn, and after waiting for the old lady to leave, he sat down on the nearby verandah.
Chen Xiao didn't speak at this time, lit a cigarette and smoked it not far from Gu Shi'an. He glanced at her from time to time, then quickly withdrew his gaze. I looked at the temple that had been lit up again.
Gu Shi'an was willing to go back to the room, so he sat for a long time. Originally, I thought that Chen Xiao would be impatient to go back to the room first, but he didn't. It wasn't until it got dark that he said, "Let's go, go back." ”
His tone was softer, different from usual.
Gu Shi'an didn't speak, just sat like that. Chen Xiao smoked another cigarette and lit it. He was a little impatient, suppressed all those impatiences, and then asked: "Gu Shi'an, you don't want to see me so much, don't want to be with me?" ”
The verandah was dimly lit, and no one was walking around at this time. Quietly.
His eyes were locked on Gu Shi'an's body, looking at her motionlessly, as if he wanted to see her through.
He seemed to be waiting for Gu Shi'an's answer, but he wasn't. After looking at Gu Shi'an for four or five seconds, he suddenly turned around and left without saying a word.
Gu Shi'an didn't move, just sat there, looking at the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor not far away.
She sat still until later in the evening when a little novice came and asked if he wanted to send her back. She shook her head, said thank you, and stood up and went back.
When she returned, the light in the old lady's room was still on, but there was no sound of speech. Gu Shi'an stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
The door opened quickly, and it was the aunt who came out, telling Gu Shi'an in a low voice that the old lady had just fallen asleep.
Gu Shi'an nodded at this time, and whispered to his aunt to rest early. After standing at the door for a moment, he returned to his room.
Chen Xiao was already lying on the bed, and he didn't know where to find a newspaper, and was lying on the bed reading. Seeing Gu Shi'an go back, he didn't even lift his eyelids.
He had obviously washed up, and Gu Shi'an didn't say anything. Originally, I was going to fetch water by myself, but when I turned around, I found that there was hot water on the side.
Her body paused slightly, and then she took out all the toiletries.
The only sound in the room was the sound of her washing.
There was only one bed in this room, and Chen Xiao took up half of it. When she had finished washing, she lay down on the other side and closed her eyes.
It didn't take long for Chen Xiao to reach out and turn off the light, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. Gu Shi'an was lying in his clothes, motionless.
She originally thought that it had reached this point. Chen Xiao will not make any moves. Who knew that less than a minute after turning off the lights, he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Shi'an tightly into his arms.
He used all his strength to hug her tightly, and for a moment, Gu Shi'an couldn't even breathe.
She was about to struggle immediately, but Chen Xiao hugged her tighter, and said in a low voice: "Gu Shi'an, do you really not want to see me at all?" ”
Probably because of the darkness, his voice was a little different from usual.
Gu Shi'an couldn't struggle, and he didn't struggle. He closed his eyes and said, "Chen Xiao, I'm tired." After all these years, aren't you tired? ”
She was so tired that she didn't even have half the strength. She believed that he was also tired, and that he was being entangled by a person, which should be a terrible feeling.
Chen Xiaona tightened her hand and slowly let go, obviously it was pitch black in the room, but Gu Shi'an felt that his gaze was extremely cold.
Chen Xiao didn't speak, until he completely let go of Gu Shi'an, then he asked coldly, "Do you like that surnamed Qin?" ”
His tone returned to the same as before, a piece of gloom.
Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would mention Qin Tanglai again, he was even more tired. Chen Xiao was anxious, and before she could speak, he gritted his teeth and asked again: "Say, do you like that grandson?" ”
As he spoke, he turned over and sat up from the bed, as if he wanted to tear Qin Tang apart alive.
Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would be so unreasonable, his heart was cold, and he said: "I said earlier, I have nothing to do with Mr. Qin......
Before she finished speaking, Chen Xiao sneered. said: "Gu Shi'an, are you taking me for a fool?" ”
His tone was full of sarcasm.
