Chapter 97: True and False
Dai waited and stared at it stunned, his eyes flickering, and he suddenly didn't dare to pick it up.
And Gu Zhi took it out of the box and put it in the palm of her hand. Hold it tightly.
"I'll take it. Give it back to you. ”
The wind is blowing from all directions with the spring of Hokkaido, as if it has suddenly given people a surprise sneak attack.
Dai Zhi turned from his arms and was crashing into Gu Zhi's watery eyes and gentle smile.
The faint golden light of the warm sun plated a layer of translucent but not dazzling color on the side of his face, condensing into a sad but not sad stain. She looked at his reflection in his black eyes, and her heart was like a lake, rippling with the wind.
……
"Take care of quality! Your buttons must only be given to me! ”
"Take care of quality! If you say it was in ancient times. Is it a token of our commitment? ”
"Take care of quality! I'm going to keep your heart on me forever! ”
"Take care of quality! I'm going to wear button stud earrings on my left ear! They all say that the left ear is closer to the heart! But...... I think, no matter how close you are, it's not as close as you hug me, let's get close to our hearts directly, haha! ”
“……”
……
He used to be all her meaning, firm faith, and it was her youth that made her unhesitating and give everything she had.
And the cruelty of life is like a chatting affair. When I walked in, I saw the flowers around me blooming into a sea, and the beauty under the lamp was like jade, and when I woke up, I found that the place I was in was just a lonely grave in the mountains.
The saddest thing about those meanings and beliefs, such as the collapse of the city wall, is not that it is not clear how much steel and concrete is needed to rebuild it, but that even if it is rebuilt, it will not look like it was the original after all......
Wearing the button studs that are about to be spread out in the palm of his hand, he lowered his eyes, looked carefully for a moment, and when he looked up again, he smiled like a flower: "It was originally mine, it has always been mine, how can I say that I will return it again?" ”
Gu Zhen stared intently at her clean and flawless face and slightly fluttering winged eyelashes. Suddenly, I realized that I was now experiencing the connotation of "like a spring breeze".
"Yes, you're right. It was yours and has always been yours. It was, it is, and it will not change in the future. Whether you take it or not, it's all there. ”
Hear the words. Dai Cheng poked his heart, his eyes became brighter, and he smiled smartly.
Gu Zhi hooked the corners of his lips and grabbed her hand: "Didn't you say that you were hungry?" Let's go, eat. ”
*
After eating this meal, which was neither lunch nor dinner, Xingan drove them both to the station. The scenery outside the window slowly returns from winter to spring as the train moves south.
The snow that is so clear that it is not stained with the slightest ** is gradually gone, and the dirt and dirt under the purity are restored little by little.
Dai Zhi leaned on Gu Zhi's shoulder, indulging in fatigue and dragging her into a floating and heavy sleep. Waking up, they returned to Sapporo to catch the closing ceremony of the last day of the food forum.
Matthew was waiting for them at the door of the hotel where he was staying, anxious to pick them up.
Of course, Dai Zhi knew that the person Ma Xiu was anxious to pick up was not her, but Gu Qian.
On the day of the opening of the food forum, she learned that Gu Zhen was the honorary president of the Culinary Association.
In her understanding, honorary presidents should be awarded to old-fashioned, retired or soon-to-be-retired veterans, so she curiously teased Gu Qian: "Are you being excluded by the people of the Culinary Association?" They use this to suggest you hurry up and get out? ”
In exchange, Gu Zhen knocked on her head: "They are looking at my father's face." I inherited it from my father. ”
After many years, this is the first time he took the initiative to mention his father in front of her, although the tone is relaxed and natural, but Dai Zhi's heart is still lightly knocked, fortunately it returned to normal in a second, and deliberately joked: "Still inherited, do you think it is the throne of Emperor Laozi?" ”
Gu Zhen glanced at her and reached out to pull her hair.
Seeing that the other people who had been with her before walked out of the hotel at this time, Dai Zhi subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Gu Zhi's other hand quickly pressed her shoulder and shackled her in place.
As a result, his intimate behavior towards her fell into everyone's eyes.
Dai Zhi was ashamed and annoyed, and quietly glared at Gu Qian: "You still don't let me see people!" ”
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhen replied according to her words: "Don't let me." ”
Hearing this, Dai Zhi deliberately shook his cold face and turned around and left: "It's just right, the closing ceremony must be as boring as the opening ceremony, anyway, I'm still tired, it's better to stay in the hotel and sleep comfortably." ”
Gu Zhen did not shy away from taking her into his arms in public, leaning into her ear and chuckling and whispering: "Well, rest well and recuperate." I don't think your physical strength is as good as it used to be, and I need to help you get more exercise. ”
"You're ---- fuck off! To give you some sweetness, are you really addicted to eating sugar? ”
"Well, it's addictive, but you're better than sugar."
"......" didn't expect him to be a scoundrel to this point now, Dai Zhi choked for a while, burned his face and scolded in a low voice: "Tian is shameless! ”
"There is no need to be ashamed to face you." The deep voice is still close to her ear, melodious and beautiful, ambiguous and low plucking the heartstrings.
In fact, everyone else avoided their eyes on the two of them with interest, and couldn't hear the conversation between them at all, but Dai Zhi was still embarrassed and angry, and forcefully broke his hand around her waist, "Go to the meeting, Mr. Gu!" Everyone is waiting for you, don't you see that Assistant Ma is about to collapse? ”
Gu Zhi glanced at Ma Xiu, who seemed to have low eyebrows but was actually restless, and no longer continued to make trouble, kissed him on the sideburns of Dai Zhi, and told him like a left-behind child: "Obedient, if you wake up bored, play by yourself first." Call the front desk if you're hungry. ”
At the end of the day, he deliberately paused for a moment and emphasized: "Don't run around alone. ”
The two tacitly knew which thing this was aimed at. In fact, she didn't need to remind her, Dai Zhi was still a little scared when he recalled it now, and complained a little coquettishly: "I know, it's verbose, and it delayed my sleep time for a few minutes." ”
Complaining, she nudged him lightly and trotted into the hotel.
It wasn't until her back disappeared that Gu Zhen withdrew his eyes with a faint smile, and coldly spit out two words to Ma Xiu: "Let's go." ”
As soon as a word came out, a bunch of people who avoided it were like being amnestied.
* Estimating beans and estimating talents.
On this side, after Dai entered the hotel, she found that she no longer lived in the original room, and the suitcase she brought was sent into the premium VIP suite without her knowing.
Stay in a premium VIP suite.
If you change places, it's just for sleeping.
Dai looked around the apartment-like room, and then glanced out the window at the exclusive scenery that could see a sea in the distance, and had no mood of appreciation at all, only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and didn't even bother to wash, so he threw himself directly into the bed.
However, he did not fall asleep as he expected.
After turning over and over for a long time, she calculated the time, knowing that at this point, Duan Yu was either on duty or on the operating table, but she still tried to dial the long distance.
The phone rang until the last moment, and when Duan Yuzeng's voice came over peacefully, Dai Zhi was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Duan Yu was silent with her for two minutes, and then asked first: "Is Japan fun?" ”
Dai Zhi seemed to be suddenly aroused, and praised a few words of food industry celebrities he saw on the food forum, but unfortunately he was a little minion and had no chance to talk; I complained a few more words about how much the official memories are on paper, and it is better to use the knife directly at the food expo to light up the dinner plate.
Naturally, she didn't tell Duan Yu that she almost died in the wilderness on the way back from Cape Zonggu, and while talking, for some reason, it became nonsense, and she took what she saw on the travel show as her real travelogue and gave it to Duan Yuzeng.
Duan Yu was very interested from beginning to end, and from time to time cooperated with her to respond or ask for details, but it was her, and in the end, she felt bored and fell silent again.
"He's with you, isn't he?"
Before leaving for Japan, Dai Zhi and Duan Yu had explained the situation. Why could he ask this as expected, she subconsciously resisted and didn't want to ask, and just simply "um".
Now it was Duan Yu's turn to stop speaking for some reason.
She obviously didn't say anything, but just over the phone, there was a feeling that he had guessed everything, and it inexplicably made her both embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Probably sensing this weirdness, Duan Yu once broke the silence, "Hmm." I'm sure you know what the hell you're doing. ”
In a word, Dai Zhi felt even more as if the slightest disturbance in his heart could not escape Duan Yuzeng's keen observation.
She suddenly wanted to end the topic, and asked, "How is Daisha?" ”
Duan Yu was silent for a moment: "I don't eat or drink every day, just rely on nutrient solution." The police seem to have lost their patience and are ready to take coercive measures. ”
After listening to it, Dai Zhi didn't know how he felt, and wanted to ask about the masked man again, but remembering that Duan Yu didn't know much about it before, he simply stopped, anyway, it was not bad for a day or two, and he would go back immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Dai Zhi lay quietly, as if he was thinking about a lot of things, but he didn't seem to think about anything when he grasped it carefully. After a while, she got up from the bed, made herself fresh from the inside out, and went out.
The two places to go were not far away, but she was not very familiar with the road, so she was delayed for some time.
I didn't expect it to be such a little time, and when she returned to the hotel, Ma Xiu, who was waiting at the door, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly made several calls, as if the alarm had been lifted, and said a bunch of words.
Dai Zhi secretly said in his heart that it was not good---- he promised him not to run around, but he still left the hotel without saying hello.
As soon as I entered the door, the room was bright, but the air was extremely low, and the "source" of the low pressure was sitting in the sofa chair facing the door with a gloomy face, and even the black suit on his body seemed to glow coldly.
"You're back so fast. I look at the schedule, after the closing ceremony, there should be a high-level cocktail party, didn't you attend? Dai Zhi pretended not to notice, asked strangely, and continued to tease while walking towards him: "I said that you must have been ostracized, is it really okay for you to play a big name alone and not go to the drinking party?" ”
Gu Zhen didn't say anything. He has a cup in his hand, and his fingers are unconsciously playing with the ice cubes in the cup, and the ice cubes hit the wall of the cup with a crisp sound of "ding dong" from time to time.
After being stunned for a while, Dai Zhi obediently stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve and shook his arm as before, "Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong." I should have texted you first. ”
Seeing that Gu Zhen's face was still unchanged, she further showed weakness, "Okay, I shouldn't even be out of the door." ”
Gu Zhen stared at her and did not respond.
After a while, Dai Zhi seemed to be a little out of breath, "I already have an opinion on you!" You weren't like this before, I wish I wouldn't be so clingy to you, why are you angry at every turn now, and you've been angry for so long. I didn't care about the cold face you played before you went to Hong Kong City, but you calculated my fault first! ”
The tone of her words was aggrieved and a little coquettish, which was very different from the form of her previous tantrums, neither coldly confronting him, nor harshly mocking or practicing herself, which made Gu Zhen a little surprised.
But thinking about it, she is extremely obedient to her state when the two of them get along in the past two or three days, as if she has let go of the five-year distance barrier and returned to the bright Dai and so on.
He didn't really want to be cold to her, but when he heard this, he simply grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and sat on his lap, "Yes! I wasn't like this before! So I regret that I didn't pay close attention to you before, so I lost you! I told you a long time ago, if I could, I really wanted to find a rope to tie you to me, and you would follow me wherever I went, not a minute or a second! ”
He hugged her, his head drooped, and his face buried in her neck: "I'm really fed up...... I'm fed up with the days when you're not with me......"
"Ah Zhi ......" Dai waited quietly motionless.
She had no doubt about the truth of his words.
She suppressed the sourness in her heart, rubbing her fingers against the back of his head, her lips grinding against his sideburns twice. Because of this action, even her head moved, and Gu Qian, who was buried in her neck socket, suddenly felt something on her ears rub against his face.
Gu Zhen raised her head and saw at a glance that there was an extra button stud on her originally empty ear beads. And Dai Cheng deliberately tilted his head to make him see more clearly, "I'm just going to get my ears pierced." How's that, is it good-looking? ”
Her voice was soft and soft, provoking his nerves.
Gu Zhi's eyes looked deeply at her ear, which was still a little red, and asked gently, "Does it hurt?" ”
"You're on point!" Dai Cheng frowned, grinned and said angrily: "If I wasn't in a hurry to wear it, I wouldn't have pierced my ears in this unfamiliar place." Hey, the craftsmanship is terrible! I wonder if I've been poked in blood. ”
"I'll show you." Gu Zhen held the hand she was going to grab her ear and stared at it carefully, except for the redness, there was nothing else abnormal. And this redness was not the same as the usual red she was flushed with shyness, and his Adam's apple rolled up, without warning, and pecked lightly.
"You ----" Dai Zhi covered his ears and hid back: "You sneak attack!" ”
Seeing that she was about to stand up from his arms, Gu Zhen hurriedly pulled her back and raised her eyebrows: "Why do I need to steal?" I steal openly, I steal incense openly. ”
Dai Zhi didn't remember that this was the words that he had said to himself when he asked him for a kiss before, but now it came out of his mouth so cruelly that she couldn't help but laugh.
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Zhen's brows immediately twisted.
Dai took the opportunity to break free from his arms: "Hurry up if there is something!" Don't embarrass the assistant! He's so conscientious, I don't think it's too much for you to triple your salary! ”
While teasing, she ran away in a hurry, and made a grimace at Gu Zhen before entering the bedroom: "Continue to make up for sleep!" In order to get my ears pierced, I was tossed to death! ”
Gu Zhen had a smile in his eyes, and although he was reluctant, he didn't continue to mess with her. He did have something to do, it was the cocktail party after the food forum. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have run back halfway.
After walking out, sure enough, it was Matthew who was waiting with his head down.
Gu Zhen glanced at him, "After I go back, I will report it myself and receive two more months' salary." ”
Yes......?
Matthew's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly burst into tears and fell into stupidity.
He interrupted the warmth of the boss and Miss Dai again and again, and the boss finally couldn't stand it and wanted to fire him?
Gu Zhen walked away a few steps and didn't see Matthew follow, and twisted his eyebrows unhappily: "You just gave you a salary increase and you went on strike?" ”
Yes......?
Matthew was shocked again and looked at Gu Zhen incredulously.
Seeing Gu Zhen waiting for him at the elevator door, he reacted that he had heard it right, and hurriedly followed him into the elevator, looking at Gu Zhen's back gratefully.
The boss finally found out in conscience and understood how difficult it was for him to survive!
"You said before that the traces of her Internet recorded on the hotel network were checking the pharmacy?"
As soon as Gu Qian's question came out, Matthew immediately returned to his normal color: "Yes, I am checking the pharmacy." ”
"I see." Gu Zhi responded lightly and was silent again.
Matthew stood behind him, unable to see his expression, but felt that his original cheerful back had become a little lonely again.
This kind of loneliness, it was not the first time he had seen it in Gu Zhen, and he was very familiar with it.
"Did you also search the place where your ears were pierced?" Gu asked again suddenly.
Matthew was stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes." "Because going to the pharmacy was more of a matter of urgency, he only said that he wanted a pharmacy at the time.
"Hmm." Gu Zhen responded succinctly with a word, and stopped talking, until he got off the elevator, and finally said: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future." It's really necessary, and you asked me first. I don't want to get what I want to know by investigating her directly. ”
*
In the hotel room, Dai waited for the quilt to be bored, and only got up again after ten minutes, took out the contraceptive pill he had just bought in his bag, and frowned tightly.
I only ate it at this time, but in fact, it was already past the time, and it had no effect at all.
But she hesitated again and again, still wanting to ask for psychological comfort, thinking that she was going to go out to get her ears pierced anyway, so she would buy a medicine by the way.
After taking the medicine, Dai waited for the third trip back to bed and finally fell asleep peacefully.
*
The next morning, at the end of this trip to Japan, Dai and Gu Zhi took a plane back to Shanghai, and then transferred back to Rongcheng from Shanghai.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at Rongcheng Airport, she received a call from Dai Naiqian.
Since some time ago, Dai Naiqian happened to go to Europe as a representative to attend an important international banking and financial conference.
Guessing that he had probably returned to China and learned about what happened at home, Dai Zhi hesitated and did not pick it up immediately.
The mobile phone was suddenly snatched away by Gu Qian, and before she could react, he had already helped her pick it up: "Uncle Dai." ”
"Well, it's me, Gu Qian."
"She was with me. We just got back from a meeting in Japan. She is very tired, and it is inconvenient to answer the phone for the time being, so tell me something. ”
"Are you alright? Well, I'll convey your concern for her on my behalf. ”
After a few words, Gu Zhen hung up the phone and helped her blacklist Dai Naiqian's number before returning the phone: "Don't answer these people's harassing calls in the future." I'm following up on Daisha's matter, you don't need to meddle, you don't need to ask, you don't need to say anything. Got it? ”
Dai Zhi watched him complete some moves in a daze, took the phone, and nodded: "Okay." ”
"Hmm." Gu Zhen showed a satisfied look and hugged her shoulders: "I'll send you home first." ”
*
"What? She hung up your phone? Lin Yinlan asked.
Her tone was a little blunt, which made Dai Naiqian quite dissatisfied: "It's not a small treat, it's Gu Zhen who answers the phone." They had just returned from Japan. ”
"Gu Qian...... Hehe...... Go to Japan ......" Lin Yinlan's eyes couldn't help but be full of ridicule: "My sister is still half dead in the hospital, and she and her sister's husband went to Japan to have a good time." Dai Naiqian, this is the good daughter of our Dai family! ”
"You're not done!" Dai Naiqian finally couldn't help but lose his temper with her.
It's just that I haven't been at home for a month, and so many messy things have happened! A wife is not like a wife, a daughter is not like a daughter, and a home is not like a home! He doesn't even know who to throw a tantrum with!
"If you weren't so used to Sasha, this would happen now!" Dai Naiqian put his hands behind his back, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly burst out in anger: "Let's talk about the mistakes before, and now the things in front of me, I think Sasha is doing it herself!" ”
"Dai Naiqian!" Lin Yinlan's sharp roar followed closely behind, tears covered her edematous eyes for the first time, and raised her arm to point in the direction of Daisha's ward: "It's your daughter who is lying inside now!" How can a father accuse his daughter of self-inflicted misfortune! You're not human! ”
"And! I'll tell you again! Sasha didn't want the hooligans to hurt her! Wait to see death and not save it! Sasha is the victim! Sasha is the victim! ”
"The evidence is in the hands of the police, what do you want to ----?"
"That's slander! I'm not going to let them take Sasha away! No! Lin Yinlan shouted sharply, squatting to the ground weakly: "I was caught by my luck when I was unlucky and happened to meet that group of people!" Sasha is innocent! ”
Dai Naiqian never found out that Lin Yinlan was such a vexatious person, "If you can, do you think I would like to see Sasha like this?" What can I do now?! ”
A policeman who was standing guard at Daisha's door came running over at this time and interrupted their argument: "Daisha is gone!" ”
