10. Tulips
"So... Ji-eun debuted as a singer? ”
glanced at the girl holding the guitar on the mobile phone screen, and then looked at the drunken cat curled up in a mass of sleep on the bed, Gu Heng's tone and expression were still a little suspicious.
Li Zhien, this girl has musical talent, of course he knows this.
In the early years, when the Li family was well-off, Li Zhongxin and his wife also enrolled her in many such interest classes.
But cultivating artistic interests and hobbies and debuting as a singer and a star are obviously two completely different things.
He Jingshu, who was sitting next to him and was helping him with the medicine, looked at his face, distressed and funny, "Yes, you don't know the character of this girl, she is stubborn, and she will never turn back when she hits the south wall, and her grandmother also supports her." ”
The ointment on his hand brought a faint coolness, Gu Heng let out a sigh of relief, and finally temporarily accepted the impact of this incident on him.
He Jingshu threw the cotton swab into the trash, but looked up and saw that Gu Heng was still frowning.
Ha Jingshu understood his worries in her heart.
When Lee Ji-eun made her debut desperately, she and Lee Jong-shin also had a similar mentality.
Not to mention the probability of success in the debut, even if it is really successful, there are more problems to face later.
For example, academics, relationships, etc......
But in this matter of life, even parents and family members are not qualified to make choices on behalf of each other.
Dimming the lamp at the girl's bedside, He Jingshu looked at Gu Heng and asked with a smile, "Does Xiao Heng have someone he is dating now?" ”
"Huh?" Gu Heng, who was full of thoughts, was stunned by her question.
The smile on He Jingshu's face became more obvious.
"Aren't we Xiaoheng twenty-five? Besides, this girl Zhien, since she has made her debut, I and your Uncle Zhong Xin probably can't count on it in those ten years, and Zhong Xun is still young, so we can only count on you to let us hold our grandson? ”
"Aunt Jingshu, I ......" Gu Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, only dumbfounded.
After graduating three years ago, he did not choose to enter Jingsheng, where his father Gu Changzhi worked, but was invited by a friend to enter a start-up Internet company.
And this job only came to an end a few months ago.
The work of a start-up company is always complicated, and he naturally does not have time to focus on personal feelings.
According to the way he got along with his father Gu Changzhi, he thought that he could avoid some things, but he didn't expect to be blocked here today.
"What's going on?" He Jingshu teased in a teasing tone, "Auntie clearly remembers that there are so many love letters you received when you were in middle school!" At that time, Xiao Zhien thought that someone was going to rob her of OPPA, but she was angry. ”
Gu Heng was amused by the past mentioned by He Jingshu.
However, what He Jingshu said just now reminded him of something.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a pink letterhead from the inner pocket of his clothes and asked He Jingshu, "Auntie, after I left, did any of my classmates come to me?" ”
He Jingshu was slightly stunned, "Classmate? ”
However, after glancing at the letterhead in Gu Heng's hand, she seemed to suddenly understand, "Female classmate? Girlfriend? ”
"What are you talking about......"
"Isn't this a love letter?" He Jingshu leaned closer and stared at Gu Heng, "So Xiao Heng, before you left Seoul, you had a girlfriend?" ”
"Of course not! How could I ...... the situation of our family at that time," Gu Heng considered his words, "But although I don't know who the other party is, I did something very sorry for her at that time, so if I can, I still want to find the other party to apologize......
He Jingshu was stunned, as if she was lamenting why Gu Heng's eighteen-year-old high school life was so "colorful".
"Then wouldn't it be better if you just opened the letter?"
"I'll think about it again......" Gu Heng sighed and put the envelope away.
Rather than accepting his apology, perhaps the other party is more likely to never see him again in his life......
"You young people, I really can't understand it," He Jingshu shook her head, "By the way, after arriving in Seoul, did you talk to Mr. Gu on the phone?" ”
“...... Not yet. ”
So He Jingshu looked at Gu Heng silently and expressed her opinion.
After a while, Gu Heng had no choice but to bow his head, "I know, I'll fight now." ”
"That's what it sounds like. Let's rest early after the call, it's not too early. ”
"Okay."
pressed the lamp at the head of Li Zhien's bed, and tucked the quilt for her, and the two of them left the room.
Ha Jingshu went back to her and Li Zhongxin's bedroom, and Gu Heng came to the balcony alone.
Taking out his phone, he dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Gu Heng?" The call didn't seem to be expected by the middle-aged man on the other side.
"Yes, Dad, it's me."
"Getting to Seoul, well, I should have arrived early," the middle-aged man snapped for a moment, and then asked, "How is it, you haven't encountered any trouble, have you?" ”
"Well, no."
There was a sudden silence on both ends of the phone.
Obviously, this is not a familiar way of communication for these two men.
Gu Heng exhaled lightly and smiled silently.
Sometimes, it is more difficult for relatives to get close to each other than strangers.
Before he appeared, Gu Heng when he was a child also fantasized about his father's image.
But when Gu Changzhi really appeared in front of him, that faint expectation turned into some kind of complicated emotion.
There are too many things between their father and son.
Even if Gu Changzhi tried hard to pull the relationship between the two later, he had to admit that when he first met Gu Heng, the young man standing in front of him had already surpassed his peers in maturity and independence.
"I've found them." Gu Heng broke the silence.
"Oh, Mr. Li, didn't the family move?"
"Well, I'm borrowing it here for the time being."
"Well, thank them again for me. Then, during this time, you were also going to rest...... The company's affairs, with Liu Chen, if you ......"
Gu Changzhi's words were a little messy, which was very different from his usual performance.
Through the phone, Gu Heng could also feel the middle-aged man's frustration.
"The company's affairs," Gu Heng interrupted him, "I'll help too." ”
"Huh?" Gu Changzhi was quiet for two seconds before he reacted, and said hello twice.
Gu Heng no longer dwelled on this topic, and after being silent for a while, he turned to say,
"In a few days, I'll go to see my mom... What do I need to bring her for you? ”
Gu Changzhi's silence this time was extraordinarily long.
It was a long time before his voice reappeared.
"Bring her a bouquet of tulips, she likes it."
"Good...... You rest earlier. ”
Hung up the phone and put away the phone, Gu Heng looked out the window.
The night was dark, and the evening stars were lonely.
The cold wind blows on the body, bringing a slight coolness.
