83 She did not leave the light
Du Xiaoxian was lying on the empty big bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze with her eyes open. It's almost twelve o'clock, and Gu Nianbin hasn't returned yet, so is he planning to go back tonight? There wasn't a single call, she wanted to call, but she didn't dare. Fear of hearing things you don't want to hear.
She didn't know what happened to Gu Nianbin? It was like a different person overnight. Too tired from work? Still is...... Don't like her anymore?
The wind poured in through half of the window, and the tulle curtains swirled in the room, and in the darkness it was like a butterfly fluttering, and with the curtains fluttering, the light and shadow were bright and dark, and it was the moonlight that was as cold as water.
Du Xiaoxian got out of bed with his shoes on, pulled the curtain aside, and the moon appeared in mid-air. The autumn moon is extraordinarily bright, large and round, like a large jade plate. The sky was crab blue, with a faint white light, and it was brighter outside than inside the house. When the night breeze came, Du Xiaoxian couldn't help but shiver and hugged her hands tightly, she was still sleeping in Gu Nianbin's short-sleeved T-shirt. The wide cuffs were blown up by the wind, and goosebumps were on her arms.
From time to time, cars pass by on the road, dragging the crimson taillights away, and the towering street lamps stand silently, like the guardians of the city. The neon lights on the tall buildings in the distance are flickering wordlessly, red, yellow, green, blue and purple, constantly changing colors. The night is gorgeous, but it is like a silent world, which makes people feel sad in vain. She rarely stands here alone, and every time there is a warm embrace of Gu Nianbin behind her. He whispered a chuckle in her ear and pointed out to the buildings and lights in the distance...... Sometimes he would kiss her neck and earlobe, tickling her, and the two of them would make a fuss, and the room would be filled with laughter.
Du Xiaoxian closed the window and closed the curtains. Back in bed. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but two lines of tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes......
Gu Nianbin returned home and unexpectedly saw Xia Xiaowan. She sat in the hall and chatted with Fang Yaru, and when she saw Gu Nianbin coming back, she greeted her with a smile, then stood up and said, "Auntie, I still have something to do, go first, you have to take the medicine to be effective, and I will bring you a few boxes next time." ”
Fang Yaru said: "It's going to be dinner soon, let's leave after eating?" ”
"No, I made an appointment," Xia Xiaowan said, "I happened to pass by here, so I'll send you medicine by the way." ”
"Xiaowan, thank you so much." When Fang Yaru heard her say this, it was not easy to keep her, so she called Gu Nianbin: "You send Xiaowan for me." ”
"No, no," Xia Xiaowan hurriedly waved her hand, and walked to the door in a bit of a panic.
Gu Nianbin hesitated for a moment and followed. He went down the steps, Xia Xiaowan had already arrived at the car, opened the car door and was about to get in. He called her, Xia Xiaowan looked back at him, and said with a smile, "I'll go first, you go in." ”
Gu Nianbin said: "Why do you have to leave as soon as I come back?" It can't be avoiding me, is it? ”
"No, no, it depends on where you want to go," Xia Xiaowan said, "I really made an appointment with someone, and by the way, I will send medicine to my aunt." After a pause, her voice lowered: "Moreover, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, my coming here really has nothing to do with you." I didn't know you were coming back today. ”
Gu Nianbin frowned: "Why do you say that?" I'm not misleading about anything, it's all in the past, and you don't need to avoid suspicion like that. ”
Xia Xiaowan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that you are so open-minded, but I think too much, you know, although I am thick-skinned, I still don't want this kind of thing to cause you to misunderstand." ”
"No," Gu Nianbin finally smiled: "Thank you for coming to see my mother." ”
Xia Xiaowan also smiled, "You're welcome, Auntie and I are quite compatible." I'll go first. With that, she waved her hand, got into the car, got up and leaned out and waved at him, and then made a big turn towards the gate.
Gu Nianbin turned around and walked up the steps, and when he saw Fang Yaru standing at the door, he asked, "Where is Dad?" ”
"Upstairs, I've always had some heartache lately, and the doctor said to let him stay in bed to recuperate."
Gu Nianbin said, "I'll go see him." ”
After entering the hall, he asked again, "What medicine did Xia Xiaowan come to bring you?" ”
Fang Yaru sighed: "I've always had back pain recently, and it is estimated that there is something wrong with the lumbar spine again." Xiaowan listened to me last time, took it to heart, and asked someone to get medicine from abroad, saying that it worked well and asked me to give it a try. ”
Gu Nianbin felt a little guilty in his heart and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I've been busy with work recently, and I haven't found time to come back to see you and Dad, I'm ......."
"It's okay, it's okay," Fang Yaru patted her son's arm: "It's all old problems, it doesn't matter, you're busy with yours, don't worry about us, there is Lao Xiao at home to take care of, you can rest assured, besides, your father and I can eat and sleep, it doesn't matter." ”
The mother and son went upstairs while talking, Gu Guangxian was very happy to see his son coming, and patted the edge of the bed to let him sit: "I heard that the province is bidding for the ecological park recently, do you have any intentions?" ”
"Bids are being prepared, and this time there are 18 companies bidding, and the competition is fierce."
"Well," Gu Guangxian nodded: "It's a good thing to have competition, who are you responsible for this case?" ”
"Bai Qing recommended Nianjing, I think it's okay, let him be fully responsible."
Gu Guangxian smiled and said, "That kid is obedient when he is young, unlike his brother, let him help him more in the future with the company's affairs." ”
"I know," Gu Nianbin said, "the company's stall is too big, he can help him, and I am more relaxed." ”
"Nian Bin," Gu Guangxian looked at his son with satisfaction and smiled: "You can think so, Dad is very pleased, although the Gu family is at the helm, it is not your personal, it is our Gu family, you can't make a forest alone, and there is strength in many people." You are an only son, you have no brothers, since Nianjing can help, you treat him as a brother. At any time, it is still more reliable for your own family. ”
Gu Nianbin nodded: "Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I know in my heart, you take care of your own body is a blessing for your son." After a pause, he said, "I don't think it's as good as this, when your health is better, you and your mother will move to the ancestral house, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is good, and it is quiet, you can recuperate there for a while, and I will let Dr. Liang go with you." ”
Fang Yaru nodded: "I think so too, if you don't worry about your business, I will go to live in the ancestral house with your father a long time ago." ”
"Mom, you better worry about Dad's body first, you have a bad waist, it is difficult to go up and down the stairs, the ancestral house is full of bungalows, and it is easy to enter and exit."
"Okay, when your dad is better, we'll go over to live, anyway, you don't come back often, leave one to take care of, and bring the rest over."
"Okay, I'll arrange it then." Gu Nianbin looked at his father with a sick face, and felt guilty again. The company's affairs are busy, but he puts all his thoughts on Du Xiaoxian, his parents are sick, and he, the son, doesn't even know, it's really unfilial!
Thinking of Du Xiaoxian, his mood was even lower, Fang Yaru saw that he was very tired, and said, "Go down and eat, and rest early after eating." ”
Gu Nianbin nodded, helped his father up from the bed, and slowly went downstairs.
After eating, Gu Nianbin did not leave, and stayed to drink tea and chat with his parents. Until nine o'clock, his parents went upstairs, and he was still sitting in the hall in a daze. Xiao Bonian came over and called him: "Young Master, can I add you another cup of tea?" ”
Gu Nianbin was stunned, and when he called him, he raised his head a little dazedly, as if he didn't understand what Xiao Bonian meant.
Xiao Bonian said again: "Young master, the tea is cold, I'll make you a cup again." ”
"Don't drink anymore," Gu Nianbin stood up and walked out, the wind outside the house was very strong, blowing his eyes narrow, falling leaves flying everywhere, and in the quiet moonlight, like a group of big moths that only came out at night.
Gu Nianbin got down the steps and walked towards his car. Xiao Ding hurriedly opened the car door, but Gu Nianbin didn't go in, and said, "I won't leave tonight, you go to pick her up from school tomorrow morning, and I will drive to the company by myself." ”
Although Xiao Ding was surprised, he didn't dare to ask a word, and stood respectfully and said hello.
Gu Nianbin turned around and went back to the house, walking slowly down the stairs by the wall, he wanted to sleep in his room tonight.
Pushing open the door, everything was as usual in the room, everything was in a fixed position. Since he came back last time to get some things, he hasn't come in again, there is still a photo of Xia Xiaowan on the table, looking at the familiar face, Gu Nianbin seems to be melancholy, and as if he is uneasy. He opened the flex and put the picture inside. He went to the bedroom again and put the picture frame on the bedside table into the tuck. Then he stood by the window and lit a cigarette.
I can't remember which night it was, but he stood here and saw Du Xiaoxian and saw her clear and ethereal eyes. Since then, those eyes have been firmly engraved in his heart. Then they got acquainted, and he stood here every morning, watching her clean, watching her focused, and seeing the sparkle in her eyes when she occasionally straightened up. Sometimes she would look up at him, blushing, as if she had done something wrong, or run away without a word.
Gu Nianbin sighed, I really miss her at that time, and I miss her flawless and shy smile.
A cigarette was sandwiched between his fingers and he didn't take two puffs, the gray ash slowly became longer, and finally fell to the ground, silently, but it seemed to startle Gu Nianbin, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, smoked a paper towel and wiped the ashes on the ground. Then go to the bathroom to take a shower.
The shower sprayed out countless crystal water filaments, hitting his body as if it was painful and itchy, Gu Nianbin closed his eyes, stood quietly under the shower, and let the water filaments wash himself, the water was cold, but it couldn't cool his heart. It was as if the blood was frozen, bringing out an unbearable pain. He liked her so much, loved her with all his life, painted her with colorful colors like white paper, but now he ...... Is he going to lose her?
Gu Nianbin opened his eyes suddenly, turned off the water, pulled the bath towel and wiped himself dry. I turned over a set of clothes in the cloakroom and changed into them, and then rushed downstairs. He didn't call Xiaoding, he drove a car out of the garage by himself.
All the way to the rush, the water in his hair dripping down his neck, and then slowly flowing, coldly burrowing into his clothes. He didn't feel anything at all, he drove the car as if it was about to fly, and at last, he saw his apartment, and the window was black.
Du Xiaoxian - she didn't actually expect him to come back, so she didn't leave the light.
Gu Nianbin parked the car on the side of the road, gasping for breath according to the position of his heart, his heart was really painful, he was going to die of pain, what should I do?
