Chapter 187: Relationship Relaxation
During the meal, Tan Man asked about the incident with the doctor a few days ago, and Qiao Sen seemed to have let go and talked to her about the details.
She didn't say a lot at a meal, but Tan Man always felt that Qiao Sen seemed to have something to say, but she wanted to say it and stopped, she guessed that it shouldn't be what she wanted to hear, so she simply didn't see it.
After eating, the car drove directly back to Tan Man's residence.
He turned off the engine, got out of the car with her, and went straight to the trunk to take her trunk off.
"Thank you for sending me back, I'm a little tired today, so I won't invite you to go up and sit." Tan Man dragged through the suitcase, ready to say goodbye to him.
The two stood at the gate of the courtyard, not paying attention to the pair of figures walking slowly in the shade of a tree not far away.
"It's a vine!" Xiaobei, who was led by Gu Mochen, saw Tan Man across the street and stretched out his little finger in surprise.
Gu Mochen was also shocked when he saw her, although he came here with the excuse of bringing Xiaobei to her, but when he met her like this, he was still excited in his heart.
It's just that when he saw Qiao Sen's figure next to her again, he subconsciously frowned.
"Wait, Manman has friends, we'll go over later." He grabbed Xiaobei and walked to the dark place of the street lamp, where he was not noticed and just enough to hear them talking.
At this time, Qiao Sen suddenly reached out and pressed the handle of the trolley box, looking at her solemnly, Tan Man was startled by his sudden move.
"What's wrong?"
"Manman, whether you say I'm selfish or gloating, I'm glad he didn't see your goodness."
Tan Man was stunned, how could Qiao Sen know.
"What did Qiao Ning tell you?!"
"Don't blame her, I know you two are good friends who don't talk about anything, but she is also my sister after all, so it's reasonable to help me." Through the dim street lamp, Qiao Sen's gaze fell on her ears, "Vine, some people may dislike it and don't like it, but in my heart, it is more perfect than anyone's ear, because its owner is so kind and beautiful, so that it can hear the joy and pain in the hearts of others, and lend a hand without hesitation." ”
"I don't mind if you can't hear it, even if one day you can't hear anything, don't you still have it?" Qiao Sen shook his hand, "In another month, my sign language course will be over." ”
There was some heartbeat, it only took a second, but this second never appeared in the time she faced Qiao Sen, no matter what he did for her.
Tan Man looked at Qiao Sen distressed and helpless, in the face of his countless confessions, she was a little powerless to parry.
After being silent for a long time, she said slowly: "Qiao Sen, I am really grateful for your heart for me, but it is really limited to gratitude, my answer, you already knew, you ......"
"Manman, don't say it, I'm not forcing you to make any decisions, it's just that as long as I think I still have a chance, I won't give up easily, and besides, don't be depressed because of the ear. Okay, it's not early, you're tired too, go back early. ”
When he turned around and got into the car, Tan Man's belated sentence of "be careful on the road" drifted away in the cold wind along with the dust rolled up by the wheels.
Gu Mochen's eyes were as deep as this night at the moment.
Their conversations are all in his ears, and he is naturally clear about you, me and him in the middle, but whether he should be happy now, or blame himself, or defend himself.
"My friend is gone!" Seeing that Tan Man had already walked towards the stairs, Xiaobei immediately took Gu Mochen's hand and walked towards the courtyard.
Gu Mochen grabbed Xiaobei: "Let's look for Manman tomorrow, she just came home and was tired." ”
"Don't!" Xiaobei, who had endured it for so long, couldn't help it anymore, broke free from him, and ran towards the yard.
Tan Man, who walked to the side of the stairs, heard a childish child's voice calling herself, and at first thought she had auditory hallucinations, but the sound was getting closer and closer, she turned her head, and Xiaobei's crashed into sight.
"Xiaobei?" She was surprised, "Why did you come?" ”
After speaking, he subconsciously looked behind the child, and sure enough, Gu Mochen's tall figure appeared in the night.
"My brother said to take me ......"
"Xiaobei is clamoring to see you!"
She didn't know if it was his voice that interrupted Xiaobei's words, or covered it, in short, when they met again after a few days, her heart was actually fluttering and messing up the rhythm.
She glanced at him and quickly lowered her eyes, "Oh. ”
"You've been on a business trip these days?"
"Yes."
Her few one-word answers made Gu Mochen frown.
At this time, Xiaobei raised his hand, held the Yuqiao juice he had just bought for her in front of her, and said in a milky voice: "Here, we will each have a cup." ”
Tan Man bent down and stroked his little head, and took the cup of hot Yuqiao juice: "Thank you!" ”
"My brother bought it, thank you!"
She was stunned for a moment, looked up at Gu Mochen, and said, "Then do you want to go up and sit for a while?" ”
"Good!"
Gu Mochen didn't want to be polite at this time, stepped forward, and lifted the suitcase for her very naturally.
"It's okay, I'll come, I have to go up to the sixth floor, there is no elevator yet." Tan Man grabbed the suitcase and didn't let it go.
"Then I should help you carry it up." He looked calm, and raised his chin towards the stairs in front of him, "Let's go, you can take care of Xiaobei for me." ”
Tan Man didn't insist anymore, and led Xiaobei to walk in front.
She was usually out of breath when she walked to the fourth floor, but even if she walked outside her iron door today, she didn't take a breath, to be exact, she didn't dare, she always felt that there was a gaze behind her, looking directly at herself, and she was uncomfortable.
"Come in, the house is a bit messy, don't laugh." She stepped in first, turned on the lights and heater, and took off her thick puffer jacket and placed it on the armrest of the sofa.
The white ceiling lamp in the center of the hall lit up, and the small space instantly came into view, Gu Mochen lowered his head after looking at it, there was a pair of women's slippers that didn't fit well in the shoe cabinet next to the door, he hesitated for a moment, but still put them on.
"It's okay, you don't need to change your shoes, I don't have anything for you to wear."
"It doesn't matter."
Tan Man looked at the pair of small pink slippers on his feet, the picture was so funny that she suddenly wanted to laugh, but his demeanor and cultivation can always make her soften her heart inadvertently.
As soon as Xiaobei entered the door, he got in, and was attracted by a Newton pool perpetual motion ornament on the living room cabinet at a glance, and studied it with great interest.
"Xiaobei, don't mess with things." Gu Mochen followed behind, and then entered the door, admonishing in a calm voice.
Xiaobei glanced at him with some grievances, and then looked up at Tan Man.
"It's okay, let's play!" Tan Man smiled at Xiaobei, then turned his head to look at Gu Mochen, and his smile faded, "Lawyer Gu, you can sit casually, and I'll make hot water to make tea." ”
"Don't bother, we'll leave in a while."
Tan Man didn't answer, and went into the kitchen with a kettle.
Gu Mochen didn't sit down, his hands were in the pockets of his suit trousers, and when her petite figure disappeared from sight, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, I don't know why, from the time I saw her, I was inexplicably nervous.
He looked around, the living room is not big, but it is not as 'a little messy' as she said, the house is very neatly tied, there are some girl's knick-knacks on the sofa on the table, small pillows, pink, blue, bright yellow, it is her style, he has always been used to cold colors, and he even thinks that this match is very pleasing to the eye, very warm.
Following the light, he also followed into the kitchen, Tan Man was washing the teapot and cup behind his back, shoulder-length black hair mischievously stirring around his neck.
"Where's the business trip?"
Tan Man was stunned when he heard this, and turned around, he was leaning against the wooden cabinet next to him, looking straight at her, the already small kitchen seemed even more cramped.
"Beijing." She lowered her head again, feigned composure, and continued to rinse the teapot in her hand.
Gu Mochen didn't speak again, and the sound of running water made the atmosphere a little less embarrassing.
After grinding for a long time, she finally had to turn off the faucet, so she mustered up the courage to turn around: "Go sit outside." ”
Gu Mochen suddenly reached out and grabbed her forearm, Tan Man's eyes widened and he looked at him puzzled.
"Lift your face a little more, and I'll look at your wounds."
As he spoke, he had let go of her hand.
Tan Man was startled, but he still obediently raised his face a little, holding his breath, and didn't know where to land.
At this moment, she felt the teapot in her left hand and the cup in her right hand dripping, and the cold water droplets passed through her long-tube cotton stockings, and it was wet for a while, but she didn't feel cold.
She was thinking, in the next second, Gu Mochen would be like the male protagonist in the idol drama, reaching out to support her chin, or gently stroking her cheek near the wound, if that was the case, what should she do, she would probably blush and her heart beat to the point of petrification.
However, the truth is that he didn't do anything, just carefully looked at the small wound on his face for two seconds, and even checked the distance and eyes of the wound, which he did quite well, without the slightest transgression or embarrassment.
"It's scabbed." He looked away, and Tan Man also lowered his head.
She nodded, "Yes." ”
"Don't scratch around, you'll get a scar."
If there is a scar, it is even less perfect, how could she not know.
Tan Man raised his head again, and he didn't know where he got the courage, and said with a smile: "I have a scar, should you just fire me, right?!" ”
Gu Mochen was stunned and subconsciously frowned.
"Are you angry?" He asked.
Tan Man didn't expect him to ask this, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"I'm kidding." She said.
"I don't know if it's my delusion, you seem to have emotions for me."
She hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "It's your delusion, how can I have emotions for you, Lawyer Gu." ”
All night, there was detachment in her tone, which made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
"Vine ,......"
"Let's go out and talk, Xiaobei is outside alone."
In this small space, Tan Man was afraid that he would accidentally reveal his thoughts, so he walked out first.
Back in the living room, Xiaobei was still concentrating on playing the Newton pool ball, Tan Man took out a box of tea leaves from the drawer, ready to make tea, Gu Mochen said: "No need to make tea, just drink a cup of hot water." ”
When Tan Man heard this, he didn't insist anymore, poured a cup of hot water into the glass, put it in front of his seat, poured half a cup into his own cup, and then slowly put the kettle back in place, and when he was done, he looked up at him casually: "What did you want to say just now?" ”
He knew she was doing it on purpose, and sighed lightly: "It's okay." ”
