Rainy Night (3)
A lot of questions poured into her mind, Mu Qingcheng tried to raise her head, and a sharp pain pulled her head back on the pillow. She looked up at the ceiling and began to ponder.
The door was pushed open, and someone walked in. Mu Qingcheng stared at it, it was Gu Hengyu's cousin Shan Xiang.
"You're awake." Shan Xiang's tone was very flat, "It was my cousin who brought you here, you have been confused for several days, you have been talking nonsense, and you have a high fever." It's good to be sober, I'll go get you something to eat. ”
"Where's your cousin?" Mu Qingcheng asked weakly, it turned out that the strange man was Gu Hengyu, no wonder the figure looked familiar, he held an umbrella for her in the rain, took her to her cousin Shan Xiang's residence after she passed out, and asked Shan Xiang to take care of her. But why did Gu Hengyu go to the lake? He followed her all the time?
"My cousin is so kind to you, he was going to look for you in the dormitory that night, and he happened to see you come out, looking lost and depressed. He was worried about you, so he drove after the bus, and then got off and followed you. Shan Xiang still said in a non-salty tone, "When he brought you back, you didn't know anything. He called in a doctor overnight to see you, went out in the rain to buy medicine, and didn't sleep all night. He will be by your side these days as long as he is free. Now that he goes to work, he can't even lose his job because of you. It's noon, though, and he should be back soon. She turned and walked out.
Mu Qingcheng's heart swelled with a little warmth, but it was quickly annihilated by a bleak coldness. Gu Hengyu did her best for her affairs, but she couldn't repay her. The divorce was even more in vain for his kindness, and if he knew that the appraisal could not be done, he would be extremely disappointed.
Shan Xiang brought a bowl of fish fillet porridge, Mu Qingcheng also felt hungry, sat up, took the bowl after thanking him, and drank the bowl of porridge. Lying back on the pillow, her head hurt again, and she was still very weak and tired when she had recovered from a serious illness.
Shan Xiang went out with the bowl and closed the door. Mu Qingcheng closed his eyes and wanted to take a rest, but his mind seemed to be entwined with ramie, and there was chaos. After a while, she heard a faint voice outside. Soon the door was pushed open again, she opened her eyes and saw Gu Hengyu walking in.
He stood still in front of Mu Qingcheng's bed, looking down at her. Mu Qingcheng also stared at him, he looked like he was seriously ill, haggard and emaciated. He sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly, "I'm really frightened by you, burning so badly, and saying something very worrying." ”
"What did I say?" Mu Qingcheng struggled to get up, and Gu Hengyu reached out to help her up. After she sat down, Gu Hengyu's hand was still on her shoulder, and she owed her body uneasily.
Gu Hengyu immediately took his hand away. "You keep saying that I hate him so much that I want to die. That 'he' refers to Cheng Yijie, right? When I looked at you that night, I knew what you were stimulating. I don't dare to disturb you, and I don't feel at ease, so I can only follow from afar. When I held your umbrella, I thought you knew it was me, only to find out later that you were delirious. I took you a few steps and you fainted. I carried you into a taxi and came here to have a private doctor come and see you. It is more convenient to have my cousin to help take care of you, and I am also relieved. ”
"Thank you!" Mu Qingcheng looked at him worriedly, "I'm really sorry to let you and Lawyer Wu be busy in vain, I'm ...... decided to withdraw the lawsuit and not divorce. ”
Gu Hengyu didn't have too many surprises, he looked at her deeply. "He's putting pressure on you to do that?"
"Identification ...... It can't be done. Mu Qingcheng sighed, very tired, but also very calm. After experiencing such heart-rending pain and a serious illness, she saw it openly, since it was difficult to recover, there was no room for turning, and she had to bow her head and accept this reality, "If you continue to make trouble, the end will only be a lose-lose situation, I am too tired and have no energy to toss anymore." ”
Gu Hengyu is a smart person, Mu Qingcheng doesn't need to elaborate, he understands what is going on. "It was my negligence, and I underestimated the extent of his despicability." His brows twitched, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice, "If you think withdrawing the lawsuit is the best choice, I have no objection." You can rest in peace, and I'll take care of the rest for you. ”
"I don't know what to say." Mu Qingcheng's head hurt again, her eyes were red, and her eyes were shining with tears, "I'm so sorry for you, I have caused you so much trouble." ”
Tears finally rolled down her eyes. Gu Hengyu held her face with his hand, and gently wiped away the tears on her face with his thumb. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, but she didn't move or react. He raised his head and tried to smile at her, a little cramped, but with more concern and uneasiness, "As long as it's done for you, it's not a problem for me." I'm just worried, if you can't get married, how will you live in the future? ”
"I've lived alone." Mu Qingcheng's tone was firm, "I'm still living in the dormitory of the unit like before, and everything is as usual." Since he wants to maintain this marriage in name only, I will accompany him to spend it. Except for the identity that makes me feel humiliated, nothing else will change compared to before we got married. ”
"Well, bear with me for a while, maybe there will be a better solution in the future." Gu Hengyu reached out and touched her hair, they were entangled in a mess.
Mu Qingcheng realized that she hadn't combed her hair for many days. "Doesn't I look ugly?" She asked.
Gu Hengyu shook his head and held her hand. "You will always be the most beautiful."
Mu Qingcheng slowly withdrew his hand, Gu Hengyu smiled, that smile was helpless and a little frustrated.
Shan Xiang walked in, and the two of them turned their heads when they heard the footsteps.
"Cousin, the day after tomorrow Saturday, do you remember what day it was?" Shan Xiang asked half-coquettishly.
"Remember, it's your birthday." Gu Hengyu replied.
A joy on a single incense surface. "So, how are you going to help me celebrate?"
"I cook my own dishes and cook a few good dishes." Gu Hengyu glanced at Mu Qingcheng, "Qingcheng's body has not fully recovered, the big fish and meat outside are not suitable for her, and the home-cooked food she makes is the best, healthy and nutritious." ”
Shan Xiang pursed her lips slightly, not very happy. "It feels like it's a birthday for her, not a birthday for me."
"You can celebrate your birthday by yourself, and I won't bother." Mu Qingcheng hurriedly said, "I've been bothering you for so long, I should go." ”
"Your body is still very weak, if you go back to the dormitory, who can take care of you." Gu Hengyu said kindly, "Besides, if you want to leave, wait until you have tasted my cooking skills before leaving." I don't have a chance to show my skills, so you can give me a face. ”
Mu Qingcheng was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to say, "I'll buy the birthday cake, let me express my heart." ”
"It's okay, I'm not going to be polite to you, but the cake has to be bought as I specified." Shan Xiang asked, "I can take you to buy it." ”
"No problem." Mu Qingcheng readily agreed, letting Shan Xiang take care of her for so many days, even if it was an expensive cake, she should be willing to spend money to buy it.
"Qingcheng should not go out and run around." Gu Hengyu was not at ease.
"I'll rest for two more days, and I'll definitely be fully recovered the day after tomorrow." Mu Qingcheng promised.
Gu Hengyu had no choice but to say no more.
Two days later, Mu Qingcheng's complexion was really much better, and his physical strength had almost recovered. Shan Xiang drove Mu Qingcheng to buy cakes, she said that the cake shop has been popular throughout Xilin City since last year, the owner of the shop is a handsome pastry chef, he makes flower cakes are very beautiful and very delicious, especially popular with young and fashionable women. In addition, you can not only taste delicious flower cakes, enjoy coffee and afternoon tea, but also participate in the salon and learn how to make decorated cakes on the spot. She is planning to apprentice and launch a flower cake at the "Spend Time" café.
The rainy season has not yet ended, it is still rainy outside the car window, and Mu Qingcheng is still shrouded in gloomy emotions. But it was rare for Shan Xiang to take the initiative to introduce what she was interested in, she listened attentively, and she also became interested in the pastry chef who was praised by Shan Xiang.
The few big words that suddenly appeared in front of him made Mu Qingcheng's mood sink suddenly. "Qikun Cultural and Creative City!" The car actually drove into the gate of Qikun Cultural and Creative City. "Why are you here?" She shouted. This is Cheng Yijie's territory, he is the city lord of this cultural and creative city, she doesn't want to come here, don't see him!
"The cake shop we are going to is in the Cultural and Creative City." Shan Xiang was slightly sarcastic, "You don't have to be nervous, the city lord has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to patrol around, it's impossible to meet you." ”
His mind was guessed so easily, Mu Qingcheng closed his mouth in embarrassment, not daring to say more.
Shan Xiang parked the car in the parking lot, Mu Qingcheng got out of the car, and it was the first time she walked into Qikun Cultural and Creative City. In the past, the electronic city, through Cheng Yijie's market evaluation, market research, the development of a clear business model, and the study of unique places, has now been transformed into an international humanities and art space. The entire cultural and creative city is divided into two parts: independent space and open space. In the open exhibition hall, cooperative businesses can hold art exhibitions with different themes, commercial product launches, art lectures and training, and corporate activities with institutions...... It comprehensively demonstrates a highly flexible cultural and artistic space. In addition, there are independent "bag settled" commercial space stores, underground original art exhibition halls, art drink bars, brand life halls, parent-child bookstores, etc.
The cake shop that Shan Xiang highly recommends is located in the commercial space store area. The cake shop is stylishly decorated with flowers and decorations at the entrance. And when Mu Qingcheng saw the flower cake displayed in the glass cabinet, he immediately exclaimed.
