Chapter Seventy-One: Her Sentimentality
Gu Guan's burns were not serious, and he was discharged from the hospital and went home that night.
At work the next day, Gu Wan was forced to take sick leave at home by He Ting. He made breakfast for her, and told her not to move, and to lie on the bed obediently to rest, and he would come back at noon to cook for her, and finally leave uneasily.
Not long after He Ting left, Zhou Xiaoqiu came to visit Gu Wan and expressed his gratitude to her very sincerely, "Gu Guan, thank you for saving me, otherwise I might be disfigured." ”
Gu Wan looked at her directly, but the quiet light in his eyes was inexplicably compelling, "Since you know the danger, why do you deliberately provoke Guan Min?" ”
Zhou Xiaoqiu hung his head and was silent, without answering.
Gu Wan sighed, he really couldn't understand, "He Liancheng should be older than your father, right?" Why do you ......?"
Zhou Xiaoqiu interrupted Gu Guan's words, and there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in his strong tone, "Gu Guan, I don't have a father, so I don't have a sense of security, and I also have a bit of a father-love complex." He Liancheng can satisfy my fantasies about my father, but also my fantasies about my lover, and I am very comfortable with him. I know you look down on me, but not every girl can be as lucky as you, and the person you like is just right to like you, and just right to be tall and handsome, and just right to have the financial strength to protect you. The only thing I can grasp is the one in front of me. ”
Gu Wan said disapprovingly, "The sense of security is not given by others, it is given to you by yourself, you don't have to rely on anyone to live at all, why not jump out of that comfortable circle and give it a try?" ”
Zhou Xiaoqiu smiled bitterly and raised his eyes to look at Gu Guan, "Gu Guan, you are very strong and brave, I admire you very much, but not everyone can do what you do." ”
Gu Wan opened his mouth and had nothing to say. Everyone has their own choice, and she can't impose her ideas on anyone. She just felt sorry for Zhou Xiaoqiu, life is too short, there are so many wonderful things to do, why gamble on a relationship that is infamous but may not be able to get?
Gu Wan was silent, and Zhou Xiaoqiu had nothing to say. Over the years, they have already experienced different lives, and now they have no common language.
The two of them sat silently for a while, and Zhou Xiaoqiu took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first." ”
Gu Wan got up to see her off, and as soon as he opened the door, he met Meng Fang, who was about to ring the doorbell.
Gu Wan asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Meng Fang looked at Zhou Xiaoqiu and lost his mind for a moment, but Zhou Xiaoqiu didn't look at him. He paused, Fang looked at Gu Wan and said, "I happened to be passing by, I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you by the way." If you're bored at home and want to go out for a walk, I'll drive you. ”
Without waiting for Gu Wan to answer, Zhou Xiaoqiu said again, "Then I'll go first, and we'll get together again when I have time." ”
Gu Wan nodded and watched Zhou Xiaoqiu leave. When she retracted her gaze and looked at Meng Fang, she saw that he was looking at Zhou Xiaoqiu's back from afar, his eyes were a little dull.
Meng Fang knew Gu Wan well, and knew that she couldn't stay at home, so she really wanted to go to Tang Jingyan. However, looking at Meng Fang's trance-like appearance, she didn't seem to have the heart to send her to the flower shop, so she had better wait for a taxi by herself.
She turned and went through the door and said, "I'm not going out, do you want to come in and sit for a while?" ”
Meng Fang came back to his senses and saw that Gu Wan didn't need him, so he replied, "Then I'll go first, you can rest." ”
When Gu Wan turned around again, Meng Fang had already disappeared.
Meng Fang caught up with Zhou Xiaoqiu, a little cramped, looking at her, but unable to say a word.
It was Zhou Xiaoqiu who greeted generously, "Hey, Meng Fang, long time no see." ”
I haven't seen these words for a long time, and I said it easily, but it was very heavy in my heart.
Meng Fang replied dryly, "Long time no see." ”
There was no more follow-up, in fact, he had a lot of other things to say, but he didn't know how to speak.
Zhou Xiaoqiu said in a joking tone, "Why, you won't also come to morally condemn me." ”
The fact that Zhou Xiaoqiu is the junior raised by He Liancheng seems to be well known in their small circle.
Meng Fang's words finally had a breakthrough, "Xiaoqiu, He Liancheng is He Ting's father, I have to call him uncle, he can be your father at his age." You're so young and pretty, why ......"
Zhou Xiaoqiu interrupted him a little impatiently, and his tone was sharp, "So what, I'm with He Ting's father, not your father, why are you in a hurry." ”
Meng Fang's eyes revealed a tingle and pain, "Xiaoqiu, I know I used to be a bastard, but you can't live a good life like this just because of a bastard." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiu laughed angrily, "Meng Fang, do you think that I was hurt by you, so I gave up on myself to become the way I am now, right?" ”
Meng Fang looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression.
Zhou Xiaoqiu sneered, "I don't think there's anything bad about my current life, I know that from a moral level, you should all condemn me, and I don't want to excuse my actions, I will bear the consequences." But what happened between us has long passed, can things that so long ago still affect me? I wouldn't be so unproductive.
Yes, I hated you at the time, but only then. The reason why I am who I am is is because of my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you or anyone. I don't need your self-reproach and sympathy, and you don't qualify. ”
After Zhou Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he turned around and left in a dashing manner. Meng Fang looked at her back blankly, and did not catch up again this time.
Looking back on the past, why Meng Fang proposed to break up with Zhou Xiaoqiu in the first place, he doesn't remember it himself. He only remembered that after the breakup, Zhou Xiaoqiu tried all kinds of tricks to get him back.
On the first day of the breakup, Zhou Xiaoqiu said that she was going to jump off the building, which scared Meng Fang so much that she flew over to find her in the middle of the night. As a result, she was taking a bath, and the bathtub was covered with rose petals, which was called a funny one.
On the fifth day of the breakup, Zhou Xiaoqiu said that he was going to cut his wrists again, and took a bloody photo of him and sent it over. Meng Fang was afraid that she would come this time, so he hurried over again and saw her leisurely wearing a mask and drinking milk.
A month after the breakup, Zhou Xiaoqiu stood outside his house on a rainy night. Meng Fang was afraid that she would get sick, so he had to let her in. She was soaking wet, crying pitifully, begging him not to leave her. There was no pity in his heart, only helplessness and weariness.
During that time, Meng Fang was exhausted by Zhou Xiaoqiu's endless practices, and he strengthened his determination not to look back.
Half a year after the breakup, Meng Fang received a call from Zhou Xiaoqiu again, and he directly blocked her, and he was accompanying his new girlfriend at that time.
He has always thought that falling in love is voluntary, and there is nothing wrong with it, he doesn't owe anyone, and he doesn't owe Zhou Xiaoqiu.
But many years later, when he met Zhou Xiaoqiu again, knowing that she did not marry well and have children, but instead gave a lover to a man who was nearly thirty years older than her, and this man was still the father of his good friend, his heart suddenly surged with endless guilt.
Although Zhou Xiaoqiu said that all this was her own choice, it had nothing to do with him. But he always thinks that if he hadn't been so decisive in proposing to break up, if he had given her more patience and gentleness after the breakup, would she have been different later?
But who knows, if the matter, who can guess.
——
After Zhou Xiaoqiu left, Gu Wan packed up his things and planned to go to Tang Jingyan, but the doorbell rang again. The person who came this time was Guan Min, and he also brought a thermos bucket.
Gu Wan asked, "What is this?" ”
Guan Min opened the thermos bucket and poured out the soup inside, and replied, "This is fish soup, burns should be avoided spicy, and it is best to drink some light fish soup." ”
Gu Wan laughed dryly, she was just burned, and it would be fine in two days after applying some medicine. It's not a fracture, it's not confinement, don't be so exaggerated.
Guan Min put the soup bowl in front of Gu Wan, with a faint expectation in his eyes.
Gu Wan looked at the soup and asked suspiciously, "There's no poison in it, right?" ”
The angry Guan Min glared at her, "No wonder He Ting likes you, you have no conscience like him." ”
Gu Wan picked up the bowl and tasted it, it tasted really good. She said casually, "Aren't you the one who has no conscience?" I heard He Ting say that when he was young, you gave him almonds to eat almonds in order to force his father to come home, so that he became allergic. ”
Guan Min's face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, and said flatly, "He really told you everything, I have been guilty for more than twenty years for this matter." It's all because I don't have culture, I really didn't know that allergies were so serious at that time. ”
Gu Wan asked, "Then have you explained it to him?" ”
Because it seems that He Ting seems to have a grudge against this matter.
Guan Min said, "Wrong is wrong, what is there to explain." I didn't want him to forgive me at all, because I was an incompetent mother. I put all my thoughts on my husband and neglected my son. In the end, my son was not close to me, and my husband was going to abandon me. ”
It was rare to see Guan Min's sensational side, and Gu Wan was also a little sentimental by her, and this atmosphere lasted until He Ting came back at noon.
He Ting bought vegetables and planned to cook for Gu Guan, but when he saw that Guan Min was also there, his face changed in a second. He said to Guan Min fiercely, "Don't you go home? ”
Obviously driving people up.
Gu Wan opened his mouth to stay, "How can there be a reason to catch up with the meal and not leave anyone to eat?" ”
So Guan Min stayed to have lunch with them, and took the initiative to cook with high interest, saying that he wanted to show his skills.
Gu Wan asked He Ting worriedly, "Hey, is your mother's cooking delicious?" ”
He Ting said disgustedly, "I don't know, I haven't eaten it either." ”
The He family has a cook, where can Guan Min do it, so He Ting has never eaten his mother's cooking. I probably ate it when I was very young, but I don't remember it for a long time.
Guan Min is busy in the kitchen, and she is extremely happy to be able to cook a meal for her son.
Gu Wan was still lamenting, "Your mother must have been very good-looking when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken by your father." Your father has so many women, it is estimated that there are a lot of mothers who want to give him children, but he only let your mother give birth, so he should have loved her very much at that time. Why are they like this now? Beauty is twilight, are men like this? ”
He Ting hurriedly clarified for himself, "You can't kill all men with a stick, I'm different from my father." ”
Gu Wan said, "But you have your father's genetics." ”
He Ting said unconvinced, "Then I still have my mother's genes in me, how do you see that she won't let go of my father?" I'll be like her, too, and keep pestering you. ”
Gu Wan glanced at him, intending to end this unnutritious conversation. He Ting took advantage of Gu Guan's hand injury and couldn't resist, so he pressed her to have a French wet kiss.
Gu Guan just wanted to kick him, but he said affectionately, "Guanguan, even if it is twilight, you will always be a beauty in my eyes." ”
Gu Wan obviously felt that he was flamboyant, and he was very useful, and in the end, he couldn't get any anger.
