Chapter 124: Starry Night Talk
"What a hard-working child, I think when your mother gave birth to you, she also experienced a lot of twists and turns, and you were born with a body of illness, alas." After Grandpa Xie learned about Gu Xiujin's physical condition, he sighed heavily and looked at Xie Qingtang with some concern.
When Xie Qingtang, who was sitting there, noticed his grandfather's eyes, he looked puzzled, and he didn't know why his grandfather was talking about Gu Xiujin, but his eyes were looking at him.
"Grandpa Xie, I'm used to it now." Gu Xiujin said lightly that he was indeed used to it, accustomed to the death of his parents, and the Gu family was left with him struggling to support him alone, and there were some relatives like jackals, tigers and leopards around him who coveted his family property.
A sentence that made Xie Qingtang pause for a moment, his eyes were quite complicated, and then he lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened.
After dinner, Gu Xiujin and Grandpa Xie entered the room again, the two of them didn't know what to talk about, Xie Qingtang stood in the courtyard, stroking the bird in his hand, and muttered: "I whisper behind my back every day, since I saw my grandfather, the time I whispered with my grandfather is not as good as the time Gu Xiujin whispers with my grandfather, really." ”
She pursed her mouth like a child competing for favor, and then put the bird back in her cage.
"Are you saying that Shao Siming's brute didn't ask Tangtang's opinion, and directly introduced her to the widowed man of the Dong family, it's really hateful." Grandpa Xie was so angry that his face turned red and he slapped him on the wheelchair.
Gu Xiujin nodded: "There seems to be some kind of agreement between Dong Weiyi and Shao Siming, if Xie Qingtang can marry into the Dong family, then the company in Shao Siming's hands will receive the support and help of the Dong family." ”
"Shameless villain, you know that you can use this kind of indiscriminate means to get benefits, and you won't be able to get on the stage for the rest of your life, but you just suffer my sugar candy who doesn't know anything." Grandpa Xie said with emotion, but now he is only excited that he has no strength, and he can't help Xie Qingtang.
So at this time, Grandpa Xie put all his expectations on Gu Xiujin, and said with pleading in his eyes: "Xiujin, I know that the two of you are hiding from me, in fact, neither of you has thought about fulfilling this marriage contract, right, I know that you young people have ideas, and they will not agree to our old doll relatives." ”
"But Tangtang is a good child, and he is also a Chinese medicine practitioner with superb medical skills, if you can really marry Tangtang, she can not only regulate your body, but also help you support the entire Gu family."
"I'd rather leave Sugar Candy in the care of a man I don't know well." Grandpa Xie said categorically that after this period of understanding, he trusted Gu Xiujin very much.
Hearing the old man in front of him say this, Gu Xiujin didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes were a little gloomy, he lowered his head, and muttered: "Grandpa Xie, you know my body, I don't know when I won't be in this world, I can't take care of Xie Qingtang forever, and I don't want to hurt Xie Qingtang." ”
"I know, I know everything, but ...... That's it. Individuals have their own fate, and the thing that cannot be forced in this world is feelings. Grandpa Xie wanted to say something again and again, but in the end, it was all pressed back into his heart and turned into a long sigh.
When Gu Xiujin came out of Grandpa Xie's room, he saw Xie Qingtang sitting on a small bench looking up at the starry sky in the sky.
There was only a small lamp on the tree in the backyard, and the dim and hazy light fell on Xie Qingtang's cheeks, casting a faint yellow halo on her, and her eyes were staring at the stars in the sky, as if they were as bright as the starry sky.
Her long, silky black hair was as thick as the night, and it was so scattered that the low bench could not support her long hair, and the tips of the hair seemed to be about to hit the ground.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiujin pushed the wheelchair over like a god, and then grabbed Xie Qingtang's long hair with his palm, and the soft touch made him love it, and put the long hair on his lap.
Xie Qingtang, who was startled, turned his head violently, and when he saw that it was Gu Xiujin, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, glared at him with some disgust, and said, "Why do you always like to appear behind other people's backs quietly?" ”
"It's that you're so fascinated by the starry sky that you can't even hear me pushing my wheelchair." Gu Xiujin said lightly, the long hair in his hand was gone, and he was a little stunned in his heart, and then he put his hand on his knee a little uncomfortably.
Xie Qingtang glanced at him suspiciously, then continued to lie down, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at the starry sky above his head and said: "Maybe, the only beautiful existence in my childhood memory is this clear starry sky, it will not laugh at me like the little friends in the village, nor will it deceive me like those hypocritical adults, whether it is poor or rich, it shows everyone its brightness and cleanliness without discrimination, which makes people fascinated." ”
After the words fell, the soft string in the deepest part of Gu Xiujin's heart was also slightly touched, and he also looked up at the starry sky, involuntarily looking at the starry sky, and slowly became obsessed.
One sat on a small bench and the other in a wheelchair, but their faces were equally obsessed, looking at the starry sky overhead, and the two were silent for a while.
"Gu Xiujin, did my grandfather ask you for the marriage contract?" Xie Qingtang thought about it for a long time, and felt that the most thing his grandfather said to Gu Xiujin should be the matter of the paper marriage contract.
Gu Xiujin, who came back to his senses, did not hide it, nodded, Xie Qingtang turned his head to look at him and said, "I didn't go down the mountain to fulfill the marriage contract with you, so don't worry, I won't marry you." ”
I don't know why, in fact, when I first met Xie Qingtang, Gu Xiujin never thought of marrying the very mysterious girl in front of him.
But when Xie Qingtang said that he would not marry him, Gu Xiujin's heart inexplicably rose a touch of irritability, he turned his head, his face became gloomy like night, and then faintly replied with a humm.
Looking at the indifferent Gu Xiujin, Xie Qingtang stopped talking.
