Du Xiaoxian was lying on the empty bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. It's nearly 12 o'clock, and Gu nianbin has not returned yet. So, is he planning not to return tonight? She wanted to call, but she didn't dare. Afraid to hear what you don't want to hear.
She didn't know what happened to Gu nianbin? It was like a different person overnight. Too tired at work? Or Don't like her?
The wind poured in from half of the window, blowing the gauze curtain in the room. In the dark, it was like a big butterfly flying. With the curtain floating, the light and shadow were bright and dark. It was the moonlight as cold as water.
Du Xiaoxian got out of bed with his shoes and pulled the curtain aside. The moon appeared in the air. The autumn moon is particularly bright, big and round, like a big jade plate. The sky was crab blue with a faint white light, but it was brighter outside than in the house. When the night wind came, Du Xiaoxian could not help shivering and clasped her hands. She was still sleeping in Gu nianbin's short sleeve T-shirt. The wide cuffs were puffed up by the wind, and goose bumps appeared on her arm.
From time to time, there are cars passing the road, dragging the scarlet tail lights, standing silent, like the guardian of the city. The neon lights on the distant high-rise buildings flicker in silence, red, yellow, green, blue and purple, constantly changing colors. The night is gorgeous, but like a silent world, it makes people sad. She rarely stands here alone, and there is Gu nianbin's warm arms behind her every time. He whispered and chuckled in her ear and showed her the buildings and lights in the distance Sometimes he would kiss her neck and earlobe, make her itchy, then two people make a group, the room is full of laughter.
Du Xiaoxian closed the window and drew the curtain. Go back to bed and lie down again. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but two lines of clear tears slowly slipped from the corner of her eyes
Gu nianbin returned home and unexpectedly saw Xia Xiaowan. She sat in the hall chatting with Fang Yaru. Seeing Gu nianbin come back, she said hello with a smile. Then she stood up and said, "Auntie, I have something else to do. Go first. You should take the medicine and take it. Next time, I will bring you some boxes."
Fang Yaru said, "the meal will be ready immediately. Can you go after the meal?"
"No, I have an appointment," Xia Xiaowan said. "I happen to pass by here and I'll send you some medicine."
"Thank you very much, Xiaowan." Fang Yaru heard her say this, but it was not good to keep her. She called Gu nianbin: "you send Xiaowan for me."
"Don't use it," Xia Xiaowan waved her hand and walked toward the door in a hurry.
Gu nianbin hesitated for a moment and followed him out. He went down the steps, Xia Xiaowan had already arrived at the side of the car, opened the door and was about to get in. When he called her, Xia Xiaowan looked back at him and said with a smile, "I'll go first. You can go in."
Gu nianbin said, "why do you have to leave as soon as I come back? Isn't it hiding from me
"No, no, it depends on where you want to go," Xia Xiaowan said. "I really have an appointment, and I'll send medicine to my aunt by the way." After a pause, she said in a low voice: "besides, I'm afraid you may misunderstand me. I'm really not related to you at all. I didn't know you were back today. "
Gu nianbin frowned: "why do you say that? I didn't misunderstand anything. It's all over. You don't need to avoid suspicion like this. "
Xia Xiaowan seemed to be relieved and said, "you are so open-minded, but I think too much. You know, although I have thick skin, I still don't want to cause your misunderstanding."
"No," Gu nianbin finally laughed. "Thank you for coming to see my mother."
Xia Xiaowan also laughed, "you're welcome. My aunt and I are quite compatible. I'll go first. " She waved her hand, got into the car, stepped out and waved to him, then made a big turn and drove towards the gate.
Gu nianbin turned up the steps and saw Fang Yaru standing at the door. He asked, "where's dad?"
"Recently, he has been lying in bed for a long time
Gu nianbin said, "I'm going to see him."
Entering the hall, he asked, "what medicine does Xia Xiaowan come to give you?"
Fang Yaru sighed: "recently, there is always low back pain. It is estimated that there is something wrong with the lumbar vertebrae. Last time Xiaowan listened to me and put it in her heart. She asked someone to get medicine from abroad. She said it was effective. Let me have a try. "
Gu nianbin felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm busy with my work recently, and I haven't found time to come back to see you and dad. I'm..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Fang Yaru patted her son's arm. "It's all old problems. It doesn't matter. You're busy. Don't worry about us. You can rest assured that you and I can eat and sleep. It doesn't matter if you and I can eat and sleep."
The mother and son went upstairs when they were talking. Gu Guangxian was very happy to see his son come. He patted the edge of the bed and asked him to sit down: "I heard that the province is going to invite tenders for ecological parks again recently. Do you have any intention?"
"We are preparing the bidding documents. There are 18 companies bidding this time. The competition is very fierce."
"Well," Gu Guangxian nodded, "competition is a good thing. Who will be responsible for this case?"
"Bai Qing recommended Nianjing. I think it's OK. Let him take full responsibility."
Gu Guangxian laughed and said, "the child has been obedient since he was a child. Different from his brother, he will help more about the company's affairs in the future.""I know," Gu nianbin said, "the company's stalls are too big. If he can help, I'm more relaxed."
"Nian bin," Gu Guangxian looked at his son with satisfaction and smile: "you can think so, dad is very pleased. Although Gu is you at the helm, it is not your personal, but we care for our family. A single tree does not make a forest. There are many talents and great strength. You are the only child, and you have no brother. Since Nianjing can help you, you should treat him as a brother. At any time, my family is more reliable. "
Gu nianbin nodded: "Dad, you don't have to worry about it. I know in my heart that you take care of your own body is the blessing of your son." After a pause, he said, "I don't think so. When you are better, you and your mother will move to the ancestral residence. The scenery is beautiful, the air is good, and it is quiet. You can cultivate yourself there. I will ask Dr. Liang to go with you."
Fang Yaru nodded: "I also think so. If I was worried about your business, I would have gone to the ancestral house with your father for a long time."
"Mom, you'd better take care of dad's health first. Your waist is not good, and it's hard to go up and down the stairs. The ancestral home is all bungalows, so it's convenient to go in and out."
"OK, when your father is better, we'll go and live there. Anyway, you don't often come back. Leave a housekeeper and take the rest with you."
"Well, I'll arrange it when the time comes." Gu nianbin looked at his sick father, and felt guilty again. The company's business is busy, but he put his mind on Du Xiaoxian. His parents are in a bad health. He is a son who doesn't know. It's really unfilial!
At the thought of Du Xiaoxian, his mood was even more depressed. Fang Yaru saw that he was very tired and said, "go down to dinner, and have a rest early after dinner."
Gu nianbin nodded, helped his father up from the bed and slowly went downstairs.
After dinner, Gu nianbin didn't leave and stayed with his parents for tea and chat. Until nine o'clock, his parents went upstairs, and he was still sitting in the hall in a daze. Xiao came to him and said, "young master, would you like another cup of tea?"
Gu nianbin is in a daze. When he calls, he raises his head in a daze. It seems that he doesn't understand Xiao Bonian's meaning.
"Young master, the tea is cold. I'll make you another cup," he said again
"No more," Gu nianbin stood up and went out. The wind was so strong that his eyes narrowed and the leaves were flying around. In the quiet moonlight, he looked like a group of big moths that only came out at night.
Gu nianbin went down the steps and went to his car. Xiaoding quickly opened the door, but Gu nianbin didn't go in. He said, "I won't leave tonight. You pick her up to school tomorrow morning, and I'll drive to the company myself."
Although Xiaoding was very surprised, but did not dare to ask, respectfully stood and said good.
Gu nianbin turned around and went back to the room. He walked slowly up the stairs beside the wall. He wanted to sleep in his room tonight.
Push open the door, everything is the same in the room, all things are placed in a fixed position. Since he came back last time to take some things, he has never come in again. There are still photos of Xia Xiaowan on the table. Looking at his familiar face, Gu nianbin seems melancholy and uneasy. He opened the drawer and put the picture in. Go to the bedroom again, put the picture frame on the bedside table into draw bend. Then he stood by the window and lit a cigarette.
I can't remember which night he stood here and saw Du Xiaoxian and her clear and ethereal eyes. From then on, that pair of eyes was firmly engraved in his heart. Later, they became familiar. He stood here every morning to watch her clean, her attentive manner, and the light in her eyes when she occasionally straightened up. Sometimes she would look up at him, blushing, nervous as if she had done something wrong, or ran away quietly.
Gu nianbin sighed, really miss her at that time, miss her pure knot and shy smile.
A cigarette caught between his fingers did not smoke twice. The gray smoke gradually grew longer and finally fell to the ground. It seemed that Gu nianbin was frightened. He threw the cigarette end into the ashtray, smoked a paper towel and wiped the ash off the ground. Then walk to the bathroom to take a bath.
The flower sprinkles out countless crystal clear water silk, which seems to hurt and itch on his body. Gu nianbin closed his eyes and stood quietly under the shower, letting the water wash himself. The water was cold, but not cool enough for his heart. The blood seemed to be frozen, with an unbearable pain. He loved her so much that he used his whole life to love her. He painted a beautiful color for her, but now Is he going to lose her?
Gu nianbin suddenly opened his eyes, closed the water, pulled the bath towel and wiped himself. In the cloakroom, I turned over a suit of clothes and changed it. Then I rushed downstairs. He didn't call Xiaoding. He drove a car out of the garage.
All the way, the water on his hair dripped in his neck, and then slowly flowed into his clothes. He didn't feel like he was going to fly. At last, he saw his apartment, and the window was black.
Du Xiaoxian didn't expect him to come back, so she didn't leave a lamp.
Gu nianbin parked the car on the side of the road, according to the position of the heart, breathing heavily, the heart really hurt, to die of pain, how to do?
