Chapter 22 Painting the Ground as a Dungeon
Gu Ranjing couldn't help laughing: "Gu Hui, in this world, where should I find someone more cruel than you?" ”
Gu Hui frowned violently, she pondered that this sentence sounded very familiar, and Wen Zhixia had also said this to her last time.
She paused before saying, "As long as you want to find it, anyone will be crueler than me." What you're seeing is just a superficial appearance, and if you really know me, you should know. ”
Gu Ranjing leaned forward: "Do you think I said you were cruel, but I was just accusing you of saying goodbye?" ”
Gu Hui concluded: "Otherwise, what about ......?"
Gu Ranjing smiled: "It's still so reasonable." ”
For these things, Gu Hui is really unwilling to give any more explanations. It's in the past anyway, and they've misunderstood her deep enough. Even if you say it now, it won't help your situation in any way.
She knew, she always knew.
Even if Wen Zhixia knew what happened at that time, he wouldn't blame her or dislike her. will only do it himself and take revenge for her.
But there was no need, the situation was chaotic enough, and she really didn't want to make it even more chaotic.
After eating dinner in this very weird atmosphere, Gu Ranjing took the initiative to speak after the meal.
"I want to talk to Gu Hui and catch up on the old days, you two, can you avoid it first and wait for us outside?"
Her curly hair swayed slightly like waves, and her smile was full of charm and maturity.
Wen Zhixia had no other opinions, just waiting for An Yan's reply. An Yan knew that if they were alone together, they would definitely ask about the past, so they were still a little worried about Gu Hui's situation, so he reached out and patted her shoulder.
Trying to reassure her: "You guys have a good talk, I'll wait for you outside." ”
After the words fell, the two of them left the terrace.
There were only two people left on the terrace for an instant, Gu Ranjing got up and stood behind the guardrail, holding her sunglasses in one hand and feeling the breeze blowing slowly through her fingers with the other.
Looking at her familiar but unfamiliar back, Gu Hui only felt that the emotions in her heart were empty, and she didn't feel heartache, but she was inexplicably sad.
After waiting for a while, Gu Hui slowly raised his legs and walked next to her and stood side by side with her.
"Nothing to tell me?" Gu Ran didn't squint, and every sentence was like a deep sigh.
Gu Hui said astringently: "You have changed a lot, although I don't know what happened to you in the past few years, but I still want to know, are you okay?" ”
"Of course I'm good, from a bar waiter to a current bar owner, lying down and counting money every day, I don't know how nourishing my life is. The only mistake may have been that my boyfriend after graduation abandoned me after I became pregnant, and I lost my first child in revenge for him. ”
Gu Hui looked at Gu Ranjing in astonishment, how could such a thing happen. How did she become the way she is? How much suffering did she go through alone?
She looked away, unable to say a word.
"Ran Jing, I know you blame me for leaving without saying anything. But everything was in such a hurry at that time, and there are some things that I can't tell you now, the only thing that can be said is that I left with depression, and if I hadn't fled here, I would have died at that time. ”
"So what do you think of me?" Gu Ranjing looked at her sideways, "Actually, based on what happened later, I can guess what happened." I can understand that you don't want to tell Wen Zhixia, but why don't you tell me? ”
She once said that no matter what she does in the future, she will be together. Gu Ranjing did it, but she didn't keep her promise.
Gu Hui clenched his fists: "You have already guessed?" ”
Gu Ranjing smiled contemptuously: "I don't care, and I don't want to know." You should explain everything Wen Zhixia clearly, I know what you're thinking, do you think you can cut him off without saying anything? ”
"Heh, Gu Hui, in fact, you don't know him at all. You just put all your hopes in him, and he will never give up if he doesn't find out what happened at that time. ”
Gu Hui's eyes turned red, and a trace of loneliness suddenly surged in his heart.
Gu Hui said: "He won't, now he and Wen Chuhan are very good." ”
"Gu Hui! How long are you going to make a fool of yourself? ”
"Ran Jing, you won't understand, you won't understand my hardship, you won't understand." Gu Hui could only repeat this sentence numbly.
"Huh." She laughed.
"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer."
Looking up at the sky, the ceiling lights shine like stars.
She once heard that the ebb and flow of the tide are related to the gravitational pull of the moon, and people who love each other can always affect each other's emotions, and now, Wen Zhixia's moon has appeared, and his waves are about to start to be turbulent.
Until Gu Ranjing left, Gu Hui was still standing in place.
The past few years have been torturous for any of them. There are enough sad things, and I have managed to survive until now, how can I be as impulsive and desperate as I was when I was younger.
For the first time, she stood alone in this position, and the water on the river beach was turbulent. The faint sound of running water was faintly heard, and it was a long time before she collected her emotions and turned away from the terrace.
An Yan had already gone back to wait for her in the car outside, leaving only Wen Zhixia still waiting for her at the foot of the stone steps.
He stood at the bottom of the stone steps, and Gu Hui stood one step above him, so he could look at him at eye level.
He asked: "Five years ago, who else was the person who designed to frame you besides Wen Chuhan, who else was the person next to me, right?" ”
Gu Hui looked away in a panic, his heartbeat skipped a beat, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday, my boyfriend is still waiting for me outside." ”
After saying this, Gu Hui fled in a panic regardless of his image.
Until he got into An Yan's car and saw his familiar silhouette. It barely stabilized, and the various lights turned into transparent light and shadow, and there were mottled outlines on the windows.
The weather was in line with the mood that night, and it was raining lightly. The originally dull weather was instantly alleviated, Gu Hui got up to wash up as usual, and prepared to drive to the company.
Gu Hui stood in front of the mirror, looking at the heavy dark circles under his eyes and feeling upset. She is a twenty-eight-year-old girl, and she has such serious dark circles before she gets married, what can she do in the future.
The habit of staying up late started about five years ago, when I first arrived in Virginia. Because of depression, I lived in fear all night long, and as long as An Yan left, I would be extremely insecure.
It seems that whether from an outsider's perspective or from your own point of view, marrying An Yan is an unchangeable fact.
Gu Hui arrived at the company, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, Daniel greeted her and carefully reminded her.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Wen from Yusheng is waiting for you in your office. Although there was no appointment, he insisted on seeing you, and we couldn't stop it. ”
"Did he say what he was here for?"
Daniel shook his head, "He didn't say it, but he brought breakfast." ”
Gu Hui felt that the whole person was not good, obviously he was fine a few days ago, and his words were clear enough, why did he come again at this time?
Gu Hui quickened his pace: "I remember that the chairman informed the board of directors that there will be a meeting today, what time is today's meeting?" ”
"Ten o'clock in the morning," Daniel said. ”
Gu Hui thought about it, and he had to send Wen Zhixia away before Xu Lianyan arrived at the company, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble. She didn't knock on the door, she pushed it open.
Wen Zhixia was half-leaning on her desk, the corner of a small Versace square scarf was exposed in her breast pocket, and the light blue shirt looked gentle and elegant. The side face is as sculptural and straight, and he drinks coffee very leisurely.
The way he looks now, like when he was a student. The angle of his chin when he looked down at the book, and the small movements of rubbing the corner of the book when he read the book. Wen Zhixia likes to sit by the window the most, and every time it seems to be against the light.
Because of him, Gu Hui is crazy obsessed with going to the library, which is like an indispensable spiritual sustenance.
Gu Hui narrowed the corners of his mouth and appeared in front of him with a calm attitude. "Mr. Wen, I don't know if you are here today, do you have any new advice?"
All the forbearance and gentleness of her girlhood were almost related to Wen Zhixia, and now she just wants to live for herself, and she doesn't want to continue to revolve around him.
He didn't care about Gu Hui's unfriendly attitude at all, and winked at her: "Didn't you have breakfast?" ”
Gu Hui frowned in astonishment, this action was ...... Selling cute?
In the next second, pancakes and yogurt were already handed to her.
"I know you habitually skip breakfast, but as my project leader, how can you not replenish your nutrition on time and not have enough brains? Remember this is your old favorite pairing, pancakes and yogurt. Just passing by, I bought it for you. ”
Gu Hui's mind was a mess, and she had already lost the habit of five years ago.
The familiar smell awakened her long-sealed memory. But it was not as beautiful as she imagined, she only felt sad, she had already planned to discard all her past habits and become the new Gu Hui.
Gu Hui said, "No need, I've already eaten it." ”
"It's not a good habit to lie, that's what you say." Wen Zhixia inserted the straw, "Why, after five years abroad, I don't even want to try my favorite food again?" ”
Gu Hui was silent, she felt that she had fallen into a predicament again, drawing the ground as a prison.
"Oh, and your favorite snacks from the past. You probably haven't eaten it for a long time, I've asked my assistant to buy it, and it will be delivered to your office in the afternoon. ”
One by one, he narrates as if he had gone back five years ago, when nothing had happened.
He continued: "You didn't say you wished I could play the piano piece you wanted to hear by yourself, I booked a spot. You can go tonight, and I'll play you whatever you want to hear. ”
"Enough!"
Gu Hui interrupted him sharply, and she kept trying to keep her head down. But even so, she thought that Wen Zhixia should still be the same, and she could see her reddened eyes.
"Wen Zhixia, what are you going to do, I have long forgotten those things. I don't like to eat those now, and I don't love you now, what are you doing now? What exactly do you want to do? ”
