Chapter 9: Diary
The electronic music in the bar was wanton and arrogant, the confused and dazzling lights were shuttling back and forth in the dark, Xu Youwen sat on the VIP seat, his slender legs folded, and the whole person leaned lazily on the back of the soft sofa, he held a glass of brandy in his hand and shook it gently, and then raised it and put it on his cold thin lips to drink two sips.
Tang Mingxuan looked at the writhing body on the stage and smiled at Xu Youwen and said, "Aren't you going there to play?" ”
Xu Youwen shook his head lightly, his eyes were cold: "No, you go!" ”
Tang Mingxuan stood up, his knobby hand pulled loosening his tie, and walked towards the stage, and after a short time he became one with the dance floor, immersed in darkness.
After so many years, Tang Mingxuan is still the same as back then, still the playboy who has lived among thousands of flowers and does not touch a leaf.
Not long after Xu Youwen sat on the sofa, three hot women came to his side, and they sat directly next to him without asking Xu Youwen if he wanted to, and his voice was angry: "Do you need someone to accompany this handsome guy?" ”
The choking smell of perfume wafted into Xu Youwen's nose, and a piece of snow on the woman's chest leaned against Xu Youwen's chest, Xu Youwen tightened his eyebrows, stood up suddenly, locked the woman's neck, and roared like an angry lion: "Do you want to die?!" Get out of here! ”
The woman felt as if her neck was about to be broken, her face was swollen and she couldn't breathe, she was trembling with fear, she knew that the man in front of her was not a guy to be messed with, and hurriedly cried and begged for mercy: "I'll get out!" I'll get out! Let me go! ”
Xu Youwen saw that the woman was crying and red-eyed, and then let go of her hand, the woman touched her neck and gasped and coughed, and then fled with her friend in embarrassment.
The booth turned lonely again, Xu Youwen flicked the collar of his suit, sat back on the sofa again, he drank the unfinished glass of brandy on the marble table in one gulp, the wine glass hit the marble table and made a fierce crisp sound, then stood up and settled the bill, leaving this noisy and noisy world.
It was a little cold in Jiangzhou at night, and he walked alone on the streets in the middle of the night, and the dim street lights shone down to pull his shadow.
Memories were rolling like waves, and he couldn't breathe.
Seven years ago, when Xu Youwen just started to work hard in his career, Gu Ran has always been by his side, they are poor and can't even afford to rent a better one-bedroom apartment in Jiangzhou, in order to save that little fare, Gu Ran accompanied him to live in a basement of less than thirty square meters.
The environment in the basement was dark and damp, not even a little sunlight could be seen, and in order to support the two of them to continue living in Jiangzhou, they had not even eaten meat for a month.
Xu Youwen felt that Gu Ran was the best girl in the world for him at that time, and when he had money, he would give her everything that was best in the world, and he must be a thousand times better to her.
"Gu Ran, when I have money, I will buy you a big house, a good car, and a piano!" The young Xu Youwen promised Gu Ran with a green face.
Gu Ran leaned on his shoulder, shook his head lightly and said, "Xu Youwen, I just want to have a home with you." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely buy a big house to be our home." Xu Youwen held Gu Ran's hand and promised that the temperature of his palm could melt ice.
He thought that with a big house, he would have a home, but now he understands that a big house is not the same as a home.
Gu Ran died, and he had no home.
The cool breeze of the night blew on his body, and somehow his eyes were sore, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
Sitting on the side of the street and waiting for more than ten minutes, the taxi driver came to pick him up and go home, he sat in the back seat of the car silently, and the ten minutes journey was a while.
He lives in a villa in the most prosperous and expensive area in Jiangzhou, where a flat cost more than 400,000 yuan, and outsiders are all looking at the house with red eyes, stretching their necks to look at the dust.
He took off his leather shoes in the hallway, put on slippers, and turned on the golden crystal lamp in the living room, which illuminated the big house with bright lights, showing luxury and prosperity.
This was originally the big house he wanted to buy for Gu Ran, but he never gave it away.
Obviously, the two of them were so good at the beginning, but why did the two of them think it was a waste to even say a word later.
He walked to the wine cabinet in the living room and took out a bottle of Hennessy, opened the lid and poured the spirits into the glass, he took out a bottle of medicine from the inner pocket of his suit and poured a few tablets into his palm, stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the glass and took a few sips of wine and swallowed the medicine.
He sat alone on the cold marble floor, his head resting on the couch, glass after glass of wine pouring into his body.
The strong alcohol made him forget all his worries and numb his nerves.
Drunk and casually leaned over and fell asleep on the floor, after a night, he touched his mobile phone and found that there were dozens of missed calls, all of which were from Tang Mingxuan, and he was probably worried that he would seek death.
He picked up his phone and clicked back, and the call was immediately picked up.
"Hey, Old Tang, what are you doing?" Xu Youwen touched his head that was about to crack.
"Hey! Xu Youwen, why did you disappear in the bar alone yesterday! Don't tell me either, do you know how worried I was about you this night?! I didn't even have an appointment with a beautiful woman! ”
Xu Youwen laughed: "I'm okay again!" What are you doing with an old mother all day long! ”
"I'm not worried about you, who worries about you! I'm going to send you your address right now if you're not dead! Tang Mingxuan bombarded indiscriminately on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, okay, got it! I'm not a kid again! Xu Youwen laughed.
"Immediately! Right away! Tang Mingxuan ordered.
"Got it." Xu Youwen hung up the phone.
He dragged his heavy body to the bathroom on the second floor, took off his clothes and began to take a shower, the sound of rushing water sounded, warm water poured down from Xu Youwen's head, and in the hazy white mist, his sturdy and good figure loomed.
Wrapped in a black silk bathrobe, he walked out of the bathroom, and the water in his hair was a little unwiped, and it was wet and dripping down his abs. The doorbell outside the hospital rang non-stop, he walked to the video phone in slippers, picked up the phone, and Tang Mingxuan's big head appeared on the screen.
"Xu Youwen, open the door!" Tang Mingxuan looked at the monitoring hole and shouted.
"Got it." Xu Youwen responded.
He hung up the phone and pressed the button of the automatic door of the courtyard, the door of the courtyard was opened, and Tang Mingxuan strode in.
Xu Youwen was lying on the sofa chair, waiting for Tang Mingxuan to come to him, Tang Mingxuan walked in front of him and began to preach in the style of an old aunt.
Xu Youwen only listened to it for half an hour as if his left ear was in and out of his right ear, during which time he finished watching the morning news and booked breakfast.
He saw that the time was about the same, raised his eyelids, and said lazily to Tang Mingxuan, "Have you eaten breakfast?" I ordered Daochenxuan's breakfast and bought your favorite copyist. ”
Tang Mingxuan couldn't get angry when he thought about it, he was tired after talking for half an hour, so he squinted at him and said, "I didn't eat!" I've been looking for you all night, you bastard! ”
"Don't be angry, you have the strength to continue scolding after breakfast!" Xu Youwen smiled.
"Yes! I'll talk to you when I'm done. Tang Mingxuan rolled his eyes and didn't care about him.
When it was delivered early, the two of them sat at the European-style long table and ate breakfast together, Tang Mingxuan happily dug into the plump and round hands with a spoon to eat.
After eating the delicious copying hands, suddenly Tang Mingxuan slapped his head and said loudly: "I was only thinking about educating you just now, and I almost forgot to give you something." ”
"What's that?" Xu Youwen was full of questions.
"I'll go to the car and get it, you wait!" Tang Mingxuan said.
"What?" Xu Youwen said.
"An important shipment today, my name is written, but the recipient is you." Tang Mingxuan said.
"Huh?" Xu Youwen searched for his express mail in his mind, but he couldn't find any clues after a frenzied search.
"I'll show it to you." Tang Mingxuan said.
Tang Mingxuan went out, and after a while, he came to Xu Youwen with something in his hand, Xu Youwen had already finished breakfast and sat at the dining table looking at his mobile phone.
Xu Youwen raised his head and looked at the brick-like thing wrapped in kraft paper in Tang Mingxuan's hand and asked, "Who sent it?" ”
"I don't know, use anonymity." Tang Mingxuan replied.
Xu Youwen took the express and opened it suspiciously.
The kraft paper was easy to remove, and in a short time it was stripped naked, revealing what was inside.
A diary with some torn and yellowed hard paper appeared in front of Xu Youwen, he opened the book and looked at the contents, and the words that appeared on the first page made his eyes wet.
These incomparably familiar handwritings engraved on the heart slowly open the door of memories of time.
"Whose diary is this?" Tang Mingxuan asked.
"It's Gu Ran." Xu Youwen said dumbly.
