Chapter 44: Duplicity

"Brother, no matter what, I hope you make a good decision, don't end up ruining the lives of three people."

Xiao Tingze was silent and lit a cigarette again.

Xu Wanyao has not been anesthetized, and she will probably wake up the next day.

Xiao Tingze also stayed here for a day, worried that his body would not be able to stand it, Xiao Tingzhi began to talk in the afternoon, and finally Xiao Tingze was about to lose it.

"Brother, you can sleep until you wake up tomorrow, I'll guard here."

"But you ......" Xiao Tingze pointed to his arm: "Aren't you also uncomfortable?" Otherwise, go back, I'm not sleepy at all, just enough to stay here and talk to her. ”

"You can go back quickly, Wanyao won't wake up until tomorrow, if you really don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as she wakes up tomorrow!"

"But..."

Xiao Tingze still wanted to struggle, but the next second he was directly pushed out by Xiao Tingzhi: "Okay brother, you go quickly, you talk too much!" ”

Bang! The door was closed, and even what Xiao Tingze wanted to say was blocked, so he had no choice but to forget it and turn around and leave.

It's dark outside, if your heart is the same.

"President."

"Where is Gu Xiaomo?"

Li Sen shook his head: "I haven't gone back since I left the company today, why don't you call home and ask?" ”

I wanted to nod, but Xiao Tingze shook his head again: "Forget it, go back to the apartment." ”

His heart is still very chaotic, calm down for the time being, even if he meets Gu Xiaomo, he doesn't know what to say.

Li Sen drove, and Xiao Tingze sat in the back and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, the car stopped, and Li Sen whispered: "President, I'm home." ”

"President?"

"Hmm." Xiao Tingze woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked tired.

Xiao Tingze got out of the car, looked at the dark apartment in front of him and frowned, where did Gu Xiaomo go? Didn't you even come back to the place where you lived to hide yourself?

"President, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Hearing the sound of the car outside, Gu Xiaomo, who had just curled up on the sofa and almost fell asleep, woke up.

Is this Xiao Tingze back?

Gu Xiaomo glanced at his phone, it was already two o'clock in the morning, why was he wandering around outside?

Gu Xiaomo got barefoot on the ground and turned on all the lights.

was about to go to the door to greet him, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that Xiao Tingze had already entered the door, and he was standing there with his hands in his pockets at the moment, staring at himself with a somewhat complicated expression.

Gu Xiaomo's steps to pass stopped in place, and she was a little embarrassed when she looked at the person in front of her.

The two hadn't seen each other for a day, but it was like they hadn't seen each other for months.

"I..."

"I..."

Both spoke at the same time, and stopped at the same time.

Xiao Tingze noticed that Gu Xiaomo was barefoot, frowned and strode over, and immediately hugged Gu Xiaomo back to the sofa.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

"I just heard the sound of a car, and I wondered if it was you who came back and wanted to go out and have a look."

She also looked very tired, and her tone was obviously wanting to see herself, so why wasn't she by her side before?

What Gu Xiaomo was thinking, Xiao Tingze didn't understand more and more.

Xiao Tingze snorted, went over to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water, and sat down side by side with Gu Xiaomo: "Are you waiting for me?" ”

"I went back to the old mansion before, and the maid said that you went out, so I was a little worried."

"Then why don't you stay by my side to take care of me? Gu Xiaomo, what do you mean? Alienating me? Approaching me on one side? ”

Xiao Tingze said with a somewhat excited tone: "Don't forget that I was injured because of you." ”

I didn't expect Xiao Tingze to ask so suddenly, and he looked aggressive when he opened his mouth and asked himself.

Gu Xiaomo subconsciously shrank back, and tears gradually welled up: "I..."

The moment he saw her tears, Xiao Tingze woke up violently, only to realize that he had just lost his temper.

There was silence in the air again.

After a long time, Gu Xiaomo swallowed back her tears, her throat was still hot, she looked at the gauze on Xiao Tingze's forehead, trembled and stretched out her hand to touch it: "You, is your wound still painful?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good, I'm relieved." Gu Xiaomo's cautious appearance looked distressing to Xiao Tingze.

He was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Gu Xiaomo, Wanyao..."

"Huh?"

"Wanyao confessed to me today, she was injured today to save me."

In just two sentences, there are many meanings.

So he's here to ask for his own opinion? Or is it just to inform yourself? Because he's going to Xu Wanyao's side?

His heart chuckled, and it became difficult to breathe, Gu Xiaomo took a deep breath: "So what? ”

"Do I want to take care of her?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaomo suddenly replied with a smile, looking indifferent: "Of course you have to take care of her, after all, you are a childhood sweetheart, she was injured to save you, and she likes you, so she needs you." ”

I thought that according to Gu Xiaomo's previous expression of worrying about herself, she would be jealous, sad, and would tell herself not to go, but she didn't expect the answer to be like this, completely contrary.

Xiao Tingze sneered twice and stared at her seriously: "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Fake, of course!

Gu Xiaomo roared in her heart, I don't want you to go at all, I don't want to do it at all!

But even so, she still had a hard mouth, and it took all her strength to force the tears back: "Of course, why am I lying to you, she really needs you, you go and take good care of her." ”

"What about you? You don't need me? Xiao Tingze lifted her chin suddenly, and the moment the four eyes met, she could feel Xiao Tingze's full of disappointment, Gu Xiaomo's pupils shook, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she said word by word: "I don't need it, I don't need it at all." ”

"I see." It turned out that he had always been amorous, Xiao Tingze let go of the hand that clamped her chin, got up, and left, without stopping a step in the process.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that Gu Xiaomo trembled, and her tears flowed out like a switch with a broken wire.

She hugged the pillow tightly and looked in front of her with empty eyes.

Even if she needs Xiao Tingze, what can she do? Did she say that people would stay?

The answer is obviously no, in fact, Xiao Tingze already has the answer in his heart.

My heart hurts!

Gu Xiaomo hammered her chest, feeling that her chest was clogged.

"Xiao Tingze..."It turned out that she had fallen in love with Xiao Tingze in the time she had spent with him.

His gentleness, his protection, everything he had made Gu Xiaomo's heart move, and the transition of time made Gu Xiaomo gradually lose herself.

If it weren't for this experience, Gu Xiaomo probably wouldn't have made such a discovery.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Tingze appeared in the ward on time, Xu Wanyao hadn't woken up yet, and Xiao Tingzhi was sleeping on the side of the bed.

"Wake up, wake up, Xiao Tingzhi?"

Xiao Tingzhi raised his head in a daze: "Why did you come so early?" ”

"I can't sleep, you go back to sleep, I'll keep watch."

Xiao Tingzhi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, rubbed his eyes and got up: "Okay!" ”

Since everyone is already here, it is impossible for him to go back, so it is better to respond to him directly.

Xiao Tingzhi left after saying a few words, and drove back to the old house, thinking about it all night last night, he found that he had something important to solve today, otherwise he was uneasy.

"Thunder, why are you back so early?"

As soon as Xiao Tingzhi got out of the car, he saw Xiao's mother watering the flowers in the garden, and he hurriedly went over: "Mom, why did you get up so early to water the flowers?" ”

"I can't sleep when I'm old." Xiao Mu stopped what she was doing, and suddenly remembered to ask Gu Xiaomo: "Did something happen to Wanyao when you came back so early?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Tingzhi shook his head and patted her on the back to calm her down: "Is Dad awake?" I have something to say to my dad. ”

"I'm awake, I'm having breakfast."

Xiao Tingzhi hurriedly went in: "Dad, Dad!" ”

"What's wrong?" Father Xiao took off his glasses, put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at the person who ran in front of him with some dissatisfaction: "Let you be more steady!" ”

"Oh." Xiao Tingzhi sat on the stool with a sudden brake, gobbling up a few mouthfuls of bread.

Father Xiao's brows furrowed even deeper, obviously they are all from the Xiao family, why are the two brothers so different?

"Is it another trouble outside? So you ran for your life early in the morning? ”

"Dad!" Xiao Tingzhi couldn't cry or laugh: "In your heart, am I such an unstable person?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Tingzhi: "......"

Forget it, let's get down to business.

"Dad, I came back today to tell you about my brother and sister-in-law."

"What's wrong with your brother?" Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was Xiao Tingze's matter, Xiao's father's face changed.

"You see, Gu Xiaomo is the daughter-in-law you chose, after getting along during this period, I think she is very good, and she is sincere to my brother..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Isn't he holding back in his heart?

"I just want to say, why don't you hold a wedding for your brother and sister-in-law, let everyone know their relationship, and let everyone know our Xiao family's recognition and acceptance of Gu Xiaomo."

His words were quite reasonable, and Father Xiao smiled: "Why are you suddenly so interested in your brother?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were like playing at home, Xiao Tingzhi wouldn't have the extra heart to care about them!

"I just think it's better to give them a guarantee, otherwise there will always be people who want to try to destroy their feelings, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, Father Xiao felt that this proposal was quite good: "You can do this fairly well, I will communicate with your brother." ”

Things went well, and I thought I was going to waste a lot of words.

Xiao Tingzhi yawned loudly: "That's okay, then I'll go to rest, I'm sleeping!" ”

Seeing Xiao Tingzhi go upstairs, Xiao's father took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Xiao Tingze's phone, and the other end quickly answered: "Dad." ”

"Come back with Xiaomo for a meal in the evening."

Xiao Tingze paused for a moment and wondered, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

"I have something to tell you, at eight o'clock in the evening, come back together, and your brother will take care of Wanyao."

Suddenly so serious, could it be that Gu Xiaomo said something?

Xiao Tingze snorted, and after hanging up the phone, he stood on the balcony and was silent for a long time.

Looks like there are some things that should be resolved tonight.

He sent a WeChat message to Gu Xiaomo, and the other party also replied with a good word, and there was no intersection again.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Tingze and Gu Xiaomo arrived at the door almost at the same time.

Both of them got out of the car, and when Gu Xiaomo saw him, she immediately changed into a smile: "What is your father looking for us?" ”

Looking at her smiling appearance, Xiao Tingze felt uncomfortable for a while, didn't speak, and went straight to the front.

His pace is very fast, Gu Xiaomo needs to trot to catch up with him, but it is good to go forward and backward, at least he doesn't have to smile all the time.

"I'm back."

"Dad."

"Dad."

Father Xiao sat there, and his serious appearance made Xiao Tingze and Gu Xiaomo unclear, so Xiao Tingze spoke first: "What are you calling us back for?" ”

Father Xiao took a sip of tea, glanced at Gu Xiaomo, and thought for a while before speaking to Xiao Tingze: "You come up to the study first, I have something to say to you alone." ”

"Okay."

The two went to the study, leaving Gu Xiaomo sitting in the living room, the empty living room looked icy, and there was no fireworks at all.

It was a little unnatural for her to sit there, and she always felt that this place was too different from herself, and maybe she shouldn't have come in the first place.

I don't know what they say up there ...
