Chapter 20: A Rainy Night on Valentine's Day

On Qixi Valentine's Day, in order to cater to the festive atmosphere, Gu Jiayin's social news made a full-page Qixi Festival special. This is a decision made by the company, not a project of their department.

So the angry young Xue Lu began to be indignant again, complaining why every holiday special occupies their news space, is their news not as meaningful as a Valentine's Day?

Chen Chen's eardrums hurt from her reading, and quipped, "Are you sure you complain so much because no one accompanies you for Valentine's Day and envy others for being in pairs?" ”

The angry Xue Lu glared at him fiercely, "You are not the same as a single dog, what is there to be proud of?" ”

However, when it comes to the topic of Valentine's Day, Gu Jiayin, a married person, is the most qualified to participate.

So Xue Lu turned to gossip and ran to ask Gu Jiayin, "Editor-in-chief, what's the arrangement tonight?" ”

If it was before, it was naturally arranged. But now is different from the past, she is single in the strict sense, how can she spend Valentine's Day.

So she shook her head, "Not arranged." ”

Xue Lu didn't believe it, and bet that there would be a gift delivered to the company later.

But she didn't want to respond to what Xue Lu said, Gu Jiayin not only received a bouquet, but also received a call from Lu Jingxiu and made an appointment for her after work.

Gu Jiayin was a little big and refused directly, "There's no need for the two of us to spend Valentine's Day together again, right?" ”

Lu Jingxiu's hand squeezing the phone tightened, his heart was tingling, and his tone was slightly cold, "Then who do you want to spend time with?" ”

Gu Jiayin didn't hear the resentment in his tone, but dutifully assured, "Don't worry, I won't live with you, and I will never live with others." ”

Just kidding, if others see her spending Valentine's Day with a man other than Lu Jingxiu, and then spread the word, wouldn't all the efforts she had made before be in vain?

Lu Jingxiu's cold face gradually warmed up, and he softened his tone, "Forget about other festivals, if you don't date on Valentine's Day, I'm afraid your parents will have to think about it more." ”

Gu Jiayin stroked her forehead helplessly, and could only accept it, "Okay." ”

She tried her best to think about it, anyway, it's just a matter of having a meal, who to eat with is not to eat, and where to eat is not to eat.

In the afternoon, Gu Jiaxing called and said happily to Gu Jiayin, "Sister, I won a super large order today, and I will invite you to dinner in the evening!" ”

Gu Jiayin was also sincerely happy for him, "Congratulations, now you are raising your eyebrows, right?" ”

Gu Jiaxing couldn't help but be proud, "Of course! Sister, do you know the new creation? Dad has been trying to cooperate with them, and I can't talk about it for a long time, so as soon as I get out, I will take it directly! Haha, I see who will dare to say that I am the second ancestor of gnawing old in the future! ”

Gu Jiayin's brows jumped when she heard this, of course she knew that the new creation was the Wen family's industry, and the boss Wen Zheng was Lu Jingxiu's friend for more than ten years.

To say that Gu Jiaxing can get the contract from Wen Zheng, and there is no relationship with Lu Jingxiu, it is difficult for her to believe it.

Gu Jiaxing was still on the phone and asked happily, "Sister, what do you want to eat?" I booked the place in advance. ”

Gu Jiayin sighed imperceptibly, "I'm going to eat hot pot with Lu Jingxiu in the evening, you can come with us." ”

Gu Jiaxing was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "You two are going on a date?!" ”

Gu Jiayin corrected his statement about dating, "It's just a meal." ”

Gu Jiaxing was very surprised that Gu Jiayin could still eat with Lu Jingxiu calmly outside the Lu Mansion, could it be that today was a special day?

Thinking like this, he checked the calendar, and it was actually Tanabata! He's been so busy lately that he's even forgotten about Valentine's Day.

He slapped his head and said hurriedly, "I won't bother you, I have to hurry up and pick up the girls!" ”

Gu Jiayin told him helplessly and funny, "If you have time, take a good rest, don't go out and spend all day drinking." ”

After hanging up the phone, she fell into deep thought again.

After getting off work, Lu Jingxiu came to pick up Gu Jiayin to go to the hot pot restaurant for dinner.

Gu Jiayin remembered that when they first got together in the past, they always had to go to some romantic places such as Western restaurants on dates. Wine, roses, music, candlelit dinners, nothing less. Later, after getting along for a long time, I didn't pay attention to the form, but I was more comfortable.

Love is less of the initial throbbing, and the rest is calming and reassuring.

Gu Jiayin thought that if Lu Jingxiu hadn't done that, then she would be very happy now that she has a successful career and a happy life.

She sighed softly in her heart, looking at the menu over and over again, while Lu Jingxiu waited for her patiently.

Gu Jiayin is spicy and likes hot pot. However, some time ago, because of the burn on her arm, she avoided spicy medicine, and she has been avoiding food for a while. Now that she is liberated, she naturally has to make up for it, and she ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go.

Lu Jingxiu looked at her, his eyes were full of doting smiles, but at the same time, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Gu Jiayin eats a small amount, and no matter how many dishes she orders, she just eats a bite of everything. She doesn't like to waste, so every time that big table of dishes is stuffed into Lu Jingxiu's stomach. If it weren't for Lu Jingxiu's busy work and diligent exercise, he might not be able to get fat now.

Therefore, love is a sweet burden, and Lu Jingxiu can understand the profound meaning of this sentence very well.

While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Jiayin suddenly picked up the juice in her hand and said to Lu Jingxiu sincerely, "Lu Jingxiu, thank you for helping Xiaoxing get the newly created contract." ”

The last time Lu Jingxiu helped Gu Jiaxing avoid prison, it was in exchange for her freedom for a year and a half, and it was an equivalent exchange between them, so she would not be grateful to him.

But this time, Lu Jingxiu helped Gu Jiaxing talk about the newly created cooperation, and it was his spontaneous behavior to gain a foothold in Anwei, and he didn't tell her, she should be grateful.

Lu Jingxiu didn't expect Gu Jiayin to know about this matter so quickly, he was slightly stunned at first, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he couldn't help but tease her, "You're so sure that I helped from it?" ”

Gu Jiayin pouted, Wen Zheng didn't know that Gu Fengdong was Lu Jingxiu's father-in-law before, why didn't he let go easily, but Gu Jiaxing could get it out? It's clearly to send this opportunity of cooperation to him.

Lu Jingxiu smiled lightly, he was very grateful to Gu Jiaxing for the phone call, which eased Gu Jiayin's attitude towards him a lot, and also made the atmosphere of this meal rare and harmonious.

After eating, they realized that it had been pouring rain outside. The rain fell on the ground and caused a huge splash, the cars were blocked on the road, and pedestrians could not walk an inch.

Lu Jingxiu thought for a moment, and then proposed, "This rain can't stop for a while, let's not go back." It's close to where we used to live, so let's stay there tonight. ”

Gu Jiayin refused without thinking, "Don't go." ”

Lu Jingxiu looked at her and teased in a mocking tone, "What, I'm afraid that I'm plotting against you?" ”

Gu Jiayin was in no mood to joke with him, and still said coldly, "You have to go yourself, I'll stay in the hotel." ”

The relaxed atmosphere that had just been built up was broken in an instant, and it returned to its original stalemate, a little nervous and a little embarrassing.

Lu Jingxiu didn't know what Gu Jiayin was throwing a temper again, so he had to coax her patiently, "Tiantian, don't make trouble." ”

Who knew that this sentence completely aroused Gu Jiayin's anger, what did she make a fuss? She didn't want to go back to that home, didn't he know why? It's because she doesn't want to remember the pain of witnessing him sleeping with someone else in that home.

It wasn't enough for him to poke a knife into her heart, but did he have to uncover her scar again?

Gu Jiayin shook off Lu Jingxiu violently, and said angrily, "Who is messing with you?" I'm just not going anyway! ”

After she finished yelling, she raised her leg and ran outside. Just rushed into the rain, and in just a moment, it was poured through the pouring rain.

Lu Jingxiu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly chased her out, took her into his arms, and ran under the eaves with her in his arms.

Looking at Gu Jiayin, who was like a chicken in soup, Lu Jingxiu's face was slightly gloomy, she didn't care about her body too much! When he opened his mouth, he wanted to reproach her, but looking at her cold and slightly trembling lips, he couldn't say anything to blame.

Lu Jingxiu took off his coat and draped it over Gu Jiayin, and said to her in a commanding tone, "You wait for me here." ”

He planned to drive the car over to pick up Gu Jiayin, but as soon as he left with his front foot, Gu Jiayin threw away his clothes with his back foot, and then rushed into the rain again and stood on the side of the road to take a taxi.

Lu Jingxiu walked halfway and found that Gu Jiayin was standing on the side of the road in the rain, and he was angry. He had no choice but to turn around again, drag her directly to the side of the car, and stuff her into the car.

Gu Jiayin struggled desperately, and after getting into the car, she went to the car door, intending to get out of the car.

Lu Jingxiu clenched her wrist tightly, and roared angrily at her unreasonable annoyance, "Gu Jiayin, have you made enough trouble!" ”

Lu Jingxiu's face was gloomy, comparable to the pouring rain outside in the sky, and it was so cold that it made people's hearts chill.

Gu Jiayin was stunned for a moment, then shook off his hand fiercely, turned his head with a sneer, and didn't bother to talk to him again.

Lu Jingxiu drove to their previous residence, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way.

After arriving at the destination, Gu Jiayin could only break the jar. It's all here, she can only go in, otherwise will she really have to be outside in the rain all the time?

It's just that as soon as she entered the door, she still calmed down, and her heart was full of bitter and indescribable emotions.

She and Lu Jingxiu went to live in Lu's house, and they simply brought a few clothes, and all her daily necessities were here. After all, this is the home where she and Lu Jingxiu have lived together for seven years, and there are traces of their lives everywhere here. But now, it's just a cold and empty shell.

As soon as Lu Jingxiu entered the door, he first went to the bathroom to put the bath water, and then urged Gu Jiayin to take a hot bath quickly, dry his wet hair, and save himself from the cold, but he just took a towel and wiped the rain on his body casually.

Lu Jingxiu's meticulous appearance made the anger in Gu Jiayin's heart nowhere to come out, and she was even more depressed.

When she was lying in the bathtub, she was still reminiscing about the past, and Lu Jingxiu took care of her so carefully and considerately almost all the time.

She suddenly felt a slight pain in her heart, and there was no outlet for her depressed emotions, so she plunged into the water.
