I don't want to take this call because I don't know what to say to Guzheng.
Especially after agreeing to her request!
In fact, from Guzheng's point of view, she didn't ask too much. She asked me for money from her parents, and she also needed to lie. Lying naturally required a lie. What else would she have to pay for 300,000 yuan, let alone me?
She had helped me so much that I had to answer the call out of courtesy, gratitude, and respect.
"Guzheng."
"Where are you?" Guzheng asked.
"I'm at home." I was afraid that Guzheng thought I was renting a house in the neighborhood, so I explained, "In my hometown."
"Oh."
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Well..." Guzheng paused and said, "My parents asked me today, so I told them about our agreement. You said it would be public in a week, but I really can't explain it to my parents. You won't blame me for that, will you?"
"No."
It's just that Guzheng's parents know about it. It's no big deal. Besides, she did need to explain to her parents.
As long as no one else knows about it for the time being.
I really want to deal with these things before I make my agreement with Guzheng public.
"But my parents said they wanted to see you." Guzheng whispered again.
"See me?!"
When I heard what Guzheng said, I immediately shivered. This joke is too big, so fast? I was completely unprepared.
I don't know if Ding Ge's parents have given me too much of a shadow, but when it comes to meeting the parents of the woman, I feel an inexplicable fear.
But my relationship with Guzheng was fake after all, and I was somewhat relieved to think of it.
But I'm still a little scared to face Guzheng's parents.
"Yes, but I blocked it for you. I told them that it's not the time yet. Let's wait until the time is ripe." Guzheng smiled and said, "Am I smart?"
I was relieved and said to Guzheng from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you, Guzheng."
"It's okay. I believe you will keep your promise!"
I don't know why Guzheng is willing to believe me, but there are a lot of promises I haven't made.
I wasn't in the mood to chat, so I let out a soft "Mmm."
Guzheng didn't bother me. After a few more words, we hung up the phone. I was just walking on the road in my head, but before I knew it, I came to my old home.
I forgot that our home was gone, and now it was a wide road.
However, when I came here, I felt a surge of emotion. After all, I had lived in this house that no longer existed in the world for more than twenty years, and it had been deeply rooted in my mind. I could remember it clearly with my eyes closed.
Its structure, its doors and windows, its yard and plants...
I quietly arrived at the location of the house, at this time, it has become a spacious road, this new road has not been equipped with street lights, so only some moonlight shone down.
I sat down at the curb, and if it didn't turn into a road, I should be sitting in our yard.
I remember bringing dinger here many times.
I still remember that we were sitting in the yard eating, and our parents loved Ding Ge very much. We were sitting together like a family, and the scene was very warm.
I don't know why, but I can't help but recall the past, and in those memories, there will always be ding ge's figure.
She seemed to miss her more than ever.
That kind of yearning, pain like a knife!
I always had a feeling that I would lose Ding Ge forever. I really didn't want to. Especially now that our relationship has become so close, we are even more reluctant to lose it.
Sitting on the roadside thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way.
Then I stood up and started walking to the house where my parents were staying. When I got home, my parents were still awake.
My mother asked worriedly, "Where have you been? Can't you get through to me?"
"I'm fine. Go out for a walk."
"Why do I feel that you came back so strangely this time? Is there something you're hiding from mom?" My mother looked at me angrily and asked.
"It's really nothing."
"Then why are you back so late?"
"I just took some photos with my camera."
"It's dark at night. There's nothing to shoot." My mother asked, not understanding.
I didn't explain much to her, just that I had to take photos these days, and maybe come back later at night sometimes, so they don't have to worry.
My mother was still a little confused, but she didn't ask much.
Then I went back to my room and lay on the bed.
I had slept all day and couldn't sleep in bed. I continued to think about the topic.
Even if there was no way, after a few months, the debt was paid off, and my relationship with Guzheng was over, I could tell Ding Ge the truth at that time.
At the best of things, a few months isn't a long time. Even if Ding Ge was sad to hear that I was with Guzheng, would she forgive me after I told her the truth? Is it still possible for us to be together?
It's possible!
But at this point, I think this possibility is very low. Let's not talk about this injury, for a few months, no one can guarantee what will happen? I vaguely remember Ding Ge once said that she would find a boyfriend before I found a girlfriend, so what would she do when she knew I was with Guzheng?
The more I thought about it, the more desperate I felt, and the whole world in my heart turned dark.
Forget it, it's better to take one step at a time.
I really don't dare to hold any hope. The more I hope, the more disappointed I will be. This sudden change of situation is the best example.
I still haven't slept much, so I went out with my camera before dawn.
When I came back, I went to the new house with my father and mother. The house had been renovated, the walls were brand new and white, and the floor was covered with yellow tiles with patterns.
Moreover, my mother was very thoughtful and even made a bedroom my wedding room. I smiled bitterly and my mother was too anxious.
In fact, if Old Gao didn't owe him gambling debts, I thought maybe I had already confessed to ding ge successfully, then maybe I would have brought Ding Ge back this time, and my life would have gone in another direction.
After a while, we went back. On the way home, my mother inevitably mentioned the question of who was the neighbor's wife and whose child was about to give birth. But I didn't feel that my mother was nagging. Looking at her white hair at the temples, I felt really ashamed.
She used to be annoyed by her parents' forced marriage, but now she's not.
I also want them to see their future daughter-in-law soon, and I want them to have grandchildren soon, so that they will become happier.
Sometimes I can always see them playing with their neighbor's children. Their eyes are really full of love and envy. If I see my grandchildren, I think they will not be able to smile.
At this moment, my mother said to me, "Haven't you been home for the past few days..."
Before my mother could finish her sentence, I knew what she wanted to say, and my head grew bigger. Then I remembered what Guzheng said last night. She told her parents about our relationship. I think I can use this method to stall my dad and mom.
Although it was shameless, it was also a helpless move.
I really just love them!
So when my mom said something about a girl, I called out "Mom." My mom looked at me and I said to her, "Actually, I already have a girlfriend."
"What?"
Both my mother and father looked shocked and both of them were in a daze.
Then my mother smiled, from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it? When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago."
My mom patted me and pretended to be angry, "Why didn't you tell mom?"
"Isn't this just a conversation?"
"Who is it?"
"Guzheng!" I gritted my teeth and replied to my mother.
"Hey, you child, you always told us not to talk before. You lied to your mother."
Ever since I said I had a girlfriend, my mother has become so excited that she can't even pull her back.
I couldn't help but feel a little speechless and replied, "I didn't talk about it before. I'm just an ordinary friend. Just now."
"I thought you two could do it." My mother added, "Why didn't you bring him back?"
"I just talked for a few days and brought it back. How inappropriate. Besides, the girl is so nice." I took a breath and replied.
"That's right." My mother muttered, then said excitedly, "Then bring it back for the new year. We'll treat them well."
"Oh, no need."
My mother glared at me and said, "How does this child talk? Bring him back during the new year!"
In the end, my mother's tone was almost commanding.
I had no choice but to nod and talk about it during the new year.
My father told me again, "Treat the girl well."
I nodded honestly again.
My mother suddenly remembered something and asked me, "By the way, did you call Guzheng yesterday?"
Well, I nodded without explaining.
My mother got a positive answer and smiled contentedly.
This news seemed like an explosive piece of news to my father and mother, and there seemed to be a layer of luster on their faces.
In the following conversation, it seemed that this topic was inseparable.
But I don't want to talk about it. Talking about Guzheng with them makes me feel like I'm betraying Ding Ge. Although we broke up a long time ago.
For the next few days, I stayed at home. Apart from taking photos and cooking for my parents, there seemed to be nothing else.
Although staying at home is boring, I don't want to go back to Pucheng.
I know, it's because of the fear in my heart.
Because I knew there would be a storm waiting for me when I returned to Pucheng!
