Chapter 17: Are We Still Friends?
I found a random supermarket near the apartment, and after I entered, I pushed the shopping cart while calculating how many things I could buy with these two Mao grandpa cards in my hand.
Lao Jiang put the money in the bank card, but I didn't bring the card when I went out, so I could only use the 200 cash in my pocket first.
I carefully took some necessary vegetables and rice noodles first, and bought a few bags of instant dumplings and wontons for Lu Yunzheng, planning to put them in the refrigerator for him to cook by himself.
"Jiang Lanyue?"
Suddenly, a voice of surprise appeared behind me, and this voice contained joy that I hadn't seen in a long time.
I looked back and found that Gu Zhou, who was wearing a black wide T-shirt, was also walking behind me with a shopping cart.
Gu Zhou and I haven't seen each other for a while, and I haven't promised him since the last time Lin Weiwei slandered me, he asked me out.
Sometimes on campus, Gu Zhou also stepped on the point where I was going to and from school to eat, and blocked me on the way, but I and Chu Xiaoxiao cleverly avoided it. I didn't expect to meet him here.
I really don't know how to continue communicating with him, and he reads such private love letters to him that I really don't know how to deal with him.
So this time was no exception, I hurriedly pushed the car around and ran away with my legs repeatedly, but unfortunately Gu Zhou grabbed the collar from behind with his long legs.
"Jiang Lanyue, do you still want to run?"
Gu Zhou's strength was very strong, and he dragged me to his chest domineeringly.
I could feel that he was angry, and his chest kept rising and falling because of his shortness of breath, but I had long since lost the joy and ambiguity of the girl at that time, only disappointment and speechlessness.
Since I couldn't hide from it, I resigned myself to standing up, forcing myself not to look at his amorous and beautiful eyes as much as possible, and said, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhou heard my cold and detached tone, a handsome smile froze on his face, he pulled the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly twice, and replied a little dejectedly: "Are you still angry with me?"
He was referring to the fact that I ignored Lin Weiwei because of him.
"Nope." I shook my head, my fingers gripping the handle of the shopping cart firmly and replied, "I just don't know how to face you."
I can't describe how I feel, I can only honestly answer what I really think in my heart.
Gu Zhou looked at me with a cold face, and with some anxiety, he dropped the cart and stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around my shoulders, bent down and looked at me and said, "Then can we still be friends?"
I looked at Gu Zhou's beautiful dark pupils, it used to be a little starlight in these eyes, which fascinated me a little. But now that I look at it, Gu Zhou doesn't seem to have anything outstanding except for being suave and suave, and the ambiguous and happy feeling at the beginning can't be found back.
This kind of relationship between friends and good feelings is the most exciting, and it seems that it is not bad to become a passerby completely like now.
I didn't know how to answer him, so I could only choose to be silent. Looking at my expression, Gu Zhou finally knew that I wasn't joking with him, and the anticipation and joy in his eyes dimmed little by little, and gradually turned into a dead silence.
Gu Zhou's arm on my shoulder slowly slid down, and his dejected appearance made him a little decadent.
I didn't want to be treated as a melon eater by the crowd, so I quickly pushed through the shopping cart and went to check out.
Even after careful calculation for a long time, it was still more than a few dozen yuan at the checkout. When I was hesitating about which things to return, Gu Zhou walked over and settled the account for me with a wave of his hand.
The cashier may also be afraid that I will not have the money to pay the bill, and when Gu Zhou handed over the banknote, she quickly took it.
Before I came to my senses, I was forced to owe Gu Zhou a favor, looking at Gu Zhou who was standing behind me and wanted to stop talking, I whispered while quickly packing the food in the shopping cart: "I will give you the money as soon as possible."
"Jiang Lanyue, can we not see each other like this?" Gu Zhou roared in a low voice of pain, and reached out to help me with the shopping bag, but I avoided it.
"Gu Zhou, I'm in a hurry to go back to cooking, don't follow."
After coming out of the supermarket, I struggled to carry the bag and wanted to go back to cook for Lu Yunzheng as soon as possible. He just lay in bed for two or three days, and he must not have eaten much.
"Where are you going? I'll help you mention it. ”
Gu Zhou insisted on helping me carry this bag of things, but I really couldn't get rid of him, so I could only throw the bag to him in a bad mood.
"Isn't your home in the local tyrant villa area of the Pavilion Water Pavilion? How do you buy so many vegetables today? ”
Gu Zhou kept up with me while carrying the bag, and at the same time tried to find a topic to talk to me flatteringly.
I don't know how to explain it, it's all too complicated, and I don't know how to say the vague relationship between me and Lu Yunzheng, so I just shut up completely.
"Jiang Lanyue, you wait for me...... Hey......"
When I came to the door of the community, I wanted to take the bag in Gu Zhou's hand and carry it upstairs by myself, but he insisted that he would send me to the door.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and let him go upstairs. When I came to the door, I was looking for the key in my pocket, but the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Lu Yunzheng leaned against the door with a gloomy face, his hair was messy, and his pajamas were still loosely draped on his body, revealing a white collarbone.
His face was better, but he still looked very weak, and his black eyes were staring at me like this, and for some reason I suddenly felt a sense of weakness in my heart.
Gu Zhou saw that the person who opened the door was Lu Yunzheng, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at me for a while and Lu Yunzheng for a while, he didn't say a word for a long time.
"My brother is sick, I'll cook for him."
I took the plastic bag from the supermarket from Gu Zhou, who was stunned, and explained aloud.
"Oh, I see. That...... Are you feeling better? ”
Gu Zhou stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and politely greeted Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng bowed slightly in response to him, but his face was still ugly, as if Gu Zhou owed him eight million.
"Thank you for today, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"
I greeted Gu Zhou politely, and as soon as I finished saying this, I felt a cold light flash behind me.
"No, no, since Senior Lu is uncomfortable, I won't bother, let him rest more."
Gu Zhou looked at Lu Yunzheng's fierce eyes, and was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again and turned around and left. Lu Yunzheng didn't want to deal with him before, but why did he suddenly become so hostile to him today.
"Whew."
Finally sent him away, I entered the door and put the key away, and saw Lu Yunzheng bend down and take out a pair of brand-new unopened slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them at my feet.
Somewhat flattered, I walked to the kitchen to process the ingredients while changing my shoes, and absentmindedly accosted, "Why are you up?"
Lu Yunzheng stood at the door of the kitchen and watched my skillful chopping action, and replied hoarsely, "Get up and pour a glass of water."
I listened to Lu Yunzheng's hoarse voice, and I couldn't help but step forward and touch his forehead again, it was still very hot.
"You go and rest, I'll send it to you when the water is ready."
"Hmm."
Lu Yunzheng's tall body was shaky, and I was a little uneasy, so I helped him back to the bedroom and lay down.
In this short distance from the kitchen to the bedroom, the hot body temperature on Lu Yunzheng's body kept transmitting to my body, and even the skin on the back of my neck was his warm breath.
I finally placed this giant baby young master, I sorted and packaged the food I just bought and stacked it neatly in the refrigerator, and then washed and cut vegetables, planning to boil a pot of fragrant preserved egg shredded porridge and fry two side dishes.
By the time I was done, it was already two hours later, and I stretched my sore waist and looked at the dinner on the table and nodded in satisfaction.
Fortunately, I inherited Lao Jiang from cooking, since I was a child, they were busy and didn't have time to care about me, I cook and eat by myself, this dinner looks full of color, flavor and appetite.
"It's time to eat."
I pushed open the bedroom door and walked to the bedside to reach out to check Lu Yunzheng's body temperature, and found that the temperature had dropped.
I finally got through it, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and leaned over to look at Lu Yunzheng's handsome face.
This face is really good-looking, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, cold and alienated, every facial feature on the face is delicate just right, and every bone is perfect to make people admire.
I couldn't help but be a little fascinated by it, and I swore that I didn't mean anything else but to simply admire God's masterpiece and feel his unfairness by the way.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and he and I looked at each other unexpectedly, and my panicked expression was reflected in his deep eyes.
"Uh...... That one...... Rice, the meal is ready, you can come out and eat. ”
I couldn't help but be a little nervous when I was caught thinking carefully, and before the flush could climb up my face, I dropped the next sentence and ran away from the bedroom.
After a while, Lu Yunzheng walked out dressed neatly, and in order to let him recognize my cooking skills, I took the initiative to serve him a bowl of porridge and helped him get a spoon.
Watching him drink porridge, I blinked and looked at him expectantly.
Lu Yunzheng noticed my eyes, and nodded in recognition after taking a few sips.
In this way, the two of us ate dinner quietly, unaware that it was already dark outside.
After eating something, Lu Yunzheng's spirit improved a little, and I gave him some medicine to let him go to the bedroom to rest.
After everything was cleaned up, I found that it was pouring rain outside at night, and when I called the driver, the driver said that he had gone to pick up Li Tinglan in the next city, and he was not free to come to me today.
I looked down from the tall building of my apartment, and the streets were empty in the dark night, and the rain was so heavy that it was hard to take a taxi.
I sighed at the bad weather, and pushed open the door of Lu Yunzheng's bedroom to borrow an umbrella from him.
"It's raining?"
Lu Yunzheng propped himself up and got out of bed, opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
"Well, it's pretty big outside."
"Let's stay here for the night today, the room next door is empty." Lu Yunzheng closed the curtains again, looked at me casually, and said such a sentence.
This...... Although Lu Yunzheng is my brother, it's not good for this lonely man and widow to live under one roof, right?
Just as I hesitated, the phone rang suddenly, and I opened it to see that it was Lao Jianglai.
"Yueyue, where are you now?"
"I'm here in my brother's apartment."
When I said this, I couldn't help but glance at Lu Yunzheng, but I didn't expect Lu Yunzheng to seem to be looking at me as well, and after seeing my sight, he turned his head in another direction.
"It's raining too much, so you can stay there all night. Oh yes, and remember to close the door when you go to bed at night. ”
Lao Jiang's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was extremely loud in this silent room, and I reached out to cover the microphone in embarrassment and glanced at Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng covered the quilt and fell asleep again, probably didn't hear this sentence.
"Okay, I got it."
No way, it looks like I can only stay here for one night.
I retreated lightly, and closed the door of Lu Yunzheng's room before leaving.
The bed in the guest room was very large and soft, and the quilts were all new, so I lay on the bed and slept until dawn, without a dream.
