Gu's mother asked in a lower voice deliberately. Gu's father was pulling his slippers in the bedroom and walked here. She didn't want Gu's father to hear.
Gu Yanting's personality is not withdrawn, and he has many friends, but he has never brought them home.
At first, the Gu family's parents guessed that the family was shabby, and the classmates in the key high schools were all serious and wealthy children. Yan Ting was embarrassed. It was only later that he found out that this was not the case. When Gu Yanting was a sophomore in high school, he was able to introduce his parents to his classmates generously. He did feel inferior occasionally, but he was not ashamed of being poor.
Tang Yi was the first friend brought back by Gu Yanting. The parents of the Gu family knew very well their son's urination. Seeing that his son, who was not enlightened in dealing with others, would talk nicely at both ends, he was both angry and funny. In addition to being surprised, he also showed his heart to entertain Tang Yi.
But after getting along in just two days, Gu's parents were full of praise for Tang Yi. Gu Dad rubbed his mouth and looked at the chessboard, and said four words with admiration: wise, mature, responsible, and affectionate.
The parents of the Gu family really liked Tang Yi as a child, but only later did they learn that Tang Yi lost his parents in his early years, and that he has been lonely all these years. They wanted to recognize Tang Yi as a godson several times, but later they felt it was inappropriate, so they told him time and time again - take this place as your home!
The things that the second old man gave to Gu Yanting were often double copies. When Gu's mother wore a scarf, she had to choose the line and color for Tang Yi alone.
"Xiaoyi..." Gu's mother said softly, "Yan Tinggui, don't know him in the same way. It's just right if he doesn't come back. Auntie will do it for you..."
Gu's mother suddenly stopped, and then the phone was quiet for a while, and then Gu's father answered the phone and shouted happily, "Xiao Tang! I'm your uncle!"
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then shouted with a smile, "Hello, uncle, how are you feeling recently?"
"It's good! It's good!" Dad Gu responded cheerfully, shouting loudly, "This time your uncle is ready! Ang! I just learned two tricks, and I'm waiting for you to see it, hahaha !"
Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, Dad Gu's voice dropped a lot, obviously blocking the microphone with his hand to prevent Mommy Gu from hearing, "Xiao Tang, Er Yanting happens to be away this time, you will be with you when the time comes. Auntie, how many more fights can our grandfather kill?"
"Uncle Gu, I have to work overtime this year, so I can't go." Tang Yi paused and said.
Gu's father's reaction was obviously more direct than that of Gu's mother. He was surprised at first, and then he was disappointed.
Gu Yanting's body often bears the shadow of Gu's father, which is obviously the result of years of immersion. The most striking point is that the emotions of the father and son are easily exposed.
Most of the reason Gu Yanting called in the morning was because he was afraid that Tang Yi would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. Tang Yi made up his mind to break up with him cleanly, and wished that his wishes would be fulfilled everywhere and let him understand his decision. But at this moment, Dad Gu gave a low "Oh" twice, and Tang Yi couldn't bear it anymore.
"...But I'm free the day after tomorrow, or else I'll go over to see you and my aunt in advance," Tang Yi smiled, "Jesus won't be with you."
"Okay! Okay, okay!" Dad Gu replied repeatedly, "Then you've already come here, stay for one night and then leave!"
Tang Yi sighed helplessly, "Okay."
--
Gu's family is on the outskirts of T city, in fact, the suburbs are a bit big. Gu's family is still a district, and a few steps ahead is the village.
There are not many people there, the main road has been repaired for more than ten years and it has not been repaired. The natural gas pipeline was accidentally dug the first year, and the cable was dug the next year. The pit is when it is not filled. Taxis don't go there, and it's not enough to feel bad about driving by yourself, so most of the time Tang Yi and Gu Yanting go home by bus.
After a bumpy ride, Tang Yi felt that his internal organs were about to be shattered when he arrived at his destination with a few items.
Dad Gu was already waiting at the bus, and when he saw Tang Yi get off the bus and hurried over, he greeted warmly, "Little Tang!"
The house here was changed by the Gu family a few years ago. It is not far from the former staff dormitory, but the environment of the community and the size of the house are better. It is a two-bedroom apartment with a transparent north and south.
When Gu's mother bought it, it was for Gu Yanting's marriage in the future. T City has already included this place in the planning area, and the house will not be considered shabby when it opens a high-speed rail in the future. On the contrary, the staff dormitory in Tongzilou has no real estate certificate, it is the collective property right of the unit, and the structure is not earthquake-resistant. The second old man could only rent out the place first, and then go back to live when Gu Yanting married the old couple.
Tang Yi followed Dad Gu into the house. After changing his shoes, he consciously carried the things to the corner of the living room by the balcony.
Five plates have been set up in the dining room, both cold and hot dishes, all of which Tang Yi likes to eat, and the smell of fish soup wafts from the kitchen.
Gu's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted with a smile, "Xiaoyi, here we come!"
"Come on," Tang Yi turned around and smiled. After putting away his things, he untied the sleeve of his shirt and rolled it over his arm. He was about to go into the kitchen to help, "I'll give you a shot."
"Hey, it'll be ready soon! You've come all the way and you're tired, so what are you doing!" Mother Gu blocked him with a stern face, and pouted on the sofa, "Go and eat grapes, you'll be at the door this morning. From Uncle Kang, Goldfinger!"
She turned her head and looked, but didn't see Dad Gu, and shouted, "Old Gu!"
Dad Gu had already run out happily holding the chessboard, his face full of wrinkles, "Hey, it's here!"
"..." Gu's mother glared at him angrily, "Don't leave after dinner!"
Dad Gu has indeed learned two new hands.
The three of them played chess in the living room after dinner. Tang Yi and Dad Gu played chess. Mom Gu sat there and cleaned up the pieces, stacked the thick chess pieces, and occasionally stretched her head toward Dad Gu. Pointing one or two with a look of contempt, there is no awareness of watching chess without saying a word.
Gu's father thought she was in the way, he frowned, and he was completely lost. However, even so, Tang Yi still lost three games in a row.
With things in his mind, he stepped back several times with his pawn, or he was about to cross the border with an elephant trembling. In the end, Gu's mother stopped him and asked worriedly, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong?"
Tang Yi made a plan before he came, and made an excuse to say that he was going out of town, and in short, he couldn't come over in the future. But at this moment, he was photographed by Gu's mother worriedly. He recovered his attention and closed his eyes. Looking at the appalling chaos in the Chuhe Hanjie side, he struggled with the phrase "I won't come again" for a long time, but he couldn't. Can't speak.
When he first interacted with Gu Yanting, he was ashamed of the kind and kind Gu parents. At this moment, the two broke up, but the expected relief did not come.
Tang Yi wiped his face and pretended to smile lightly, "Ah, it's okay."
Gu's mother looked suspicious, afraid that he was tired or not feeling well, so she hurriedly brought him a cup of warm water and pushed him into the prepared guest bedroom, "How about you sleep a while? Auntie has a cold here. Medicine, if you feel bad about it, just say, ah!"
Gu's father also followed behind with a worried look, and was slapped back by Gu's mother, "It's not all you! What are you doing, you can't wait to get over your addiction! Xiaoyi is playing with you, this stinky chess basket. Chess is tiring! Go to the side!…”
Tang Yi: "..."
Gu's father was full of grievances, he waved at Tang Yi before he could say anything, and went back to clean up the chessboard.
The layout of Gu Yanting's bedroom is very simple. The second old man intends to redecorate Gu Yanting when he gets married in the future, so the walls are only painted white. There is a log-colored double bed in the bedroom, next to it is a log-colored wardrobe, log-colored desk and chair, and a log-colored revolving bookshelf next to it.
The whole room looked clean. Gu's mother had obviously just cleaned it up in the morning. The bed was covered with newly changed sheets, and the quilt was placed in the corner of the bed. Sunlight poured in from the window and filled half the room.
Tang Yi did have some headaches, but after all, he was here as a guest, and there was no reason to sleep in someone else's house during the day. But it's just past noon now, so Mom and Dad Gu can rest for a while. So he sat down at the desk, rubbed his temples, and took a random book from the revolving bookshelf to read.
The books on the bookshelf are densely arranged in five layers, from parchment scrolls to thick black studies to banned books in Silicon Valley, all of his books. This revolving bookshelf was newly added by Gu Yanting after he came here once. Tang Yi often buys books. In fact, he doesn't read them often. He just likes the feeling of buying them and putting them at home. Gu Yanting once wanted him to come back for the New Year, but Tang Yi didn't want to come, so he found an excuse to read at home.
Then Gu Yanting didn't know when he bought such a revolving bookshelf, assembled it himself, bought a new set according to Tang Yi's books, and moved it to his home.
Tang Yi never came back with him that year, Tang Yi was cautious, always afraid that Gu's parents would see the clue. On the contrary, the smell of formaldehyde on the bookshelf lingered for a long time. After several months, Tang Yi was hit when he came over.
The bookshelves were ordered from the Internet, and they could be delivered by logistics, but Gu Yanting bought these books from the Xinhua Bookstore one by one. Buying so many books from the Xinhua Bookstore in T city, it is not easy to move here in several trips. Tang Yi thought Gu Yanting's low IQ was cute at first, but he bought the exact same one and kept it at home. Thinking about it again now, I was faintly moved by his cautiousness.
Why can't Gu Yanting catch up with Lin Rui
Tang Yi suddenly thought that although the Gu family was only a well-off family, they did not worry about food and drink, and Gu Yanting was never short of money. Besides, in addition to not being able to spend a lot of money, Gu Yanting is a model boyfriend in terms of appearance and personality.
What Tang Yi cares about the most is that he has someone in his heart, and it doesn't exist on Lin Rui's side - after all, Gu Yanting's heart is Lin Rui, eight points of excellence and very true feelings, no matter what, Lin Rui can't be unmoved at all. Bar
At this moment, Tang Yi was a little jealous of Lin Rui.
Lin Rui couldn't get into his eyes anywhere, and even he despised the existence of people like Lin Rui from the bottom of his heart, hypocrisy, selfishness, promiscuity, and vanity... In terms of morality, Lin Rui can be trampled to death with just one foot. Ants.
But this ant did the right thing a few years ago, and it won Gu Yanting's obsession.
So in Tang Yi's view, the small and insipid happiness between him and Gu Yanting became insignificant against the background of this room. Even because of Lin Rui's shadow, it made him feel a little cheap. He didn't regret breaking up at all, the only regret was that it was too late, and now he had to break up wherever he went to get rid of Gu Yanting's shadow completely.
In the middle of the afternoon, the sun was soft and soft, and Tang Yi fell asleep on the table at some point. I don't know how long it took before I heard a sound from the door, followed by a happy cry from Mother Gu.
"You're back! Hey, I'm really busy, and I don't have time for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Tang Yi was startled when he heard Gu Yanting's voice, and seemed a little tired, "Well, just this time."
"Tang Yi doesn't have time for the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Gu's mother paused for a while, and suddenly said softly, "You two shouldn't have a bad time!"
"Ah, how can..." Gu Yanting coughed lightly and said hurriedly, "We have lunch together at noon today, you think too much, he is... just busy."
There was an eerie silence outside.
Gu Yanting realized that something was wrong for a long time, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Tang Yi opened the door speechlessly, leaning against the bedroom door and looking at him, "Good afternoon."
Chapter 20 Gu Yanting pondered for a while and whispered, "If it's for this, I can rarely see him."
When Gu Yanting came back, he called Gu's mother. Gu's mother wanted to remind that Tang Yi was also here, but she forgot about it later.
At this moment, Gu Yanting stared blankly in the living room, her face full of embarrassment, Gu's mother could only cover her mouth and cough lightly, smiling as if she didn't know anything, "Xiaoyi is up? Do you feel better? "
"Much better." Tang Yi pinched the bridge of his nose pressed by the frame, and said with a smile, "Don't be busy, Auntie, I have something to do at night, so I have to go back."
"Didn't you agree to spend the night!" Gu's mother took the things from Gu Yanting's hand and walked to the bedroom, "I've even stewed chicken! Don't go!"
Mother Gu turned around and entered the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
The unhappiness of Gu Yanting and Tang Yi was written on their faces. It's not easy to mix things up when they are elders. Even if it really doesn't work, they can only blame their own children.
Gu's mother closed the door quietly, pushed her back to Gu's father who was taking a nap, and whispered, "Old Gu, are Yan Ting and Xiao Yi having a conflict?"
"Well...?" Dad Gu opened his eyes in a daze, reacted for a while, rolled up the thin quilt and wrapped it again, "If you make trouble, make trouble!"
Gu's mother was a little unhappy, so she listened to Gu's father and added, "Anyway, your son must be ignoring it."
Gu's mother: "..." Of course, being a mother is towards her son, but it is more reasonable to think about what Gu's father said. Gu's mother sighed for a long time, then lay down and pushed the old man, "I'll give you the quilt! I'll let you wrap it up!"
Tang Yi leaned against the door frame of the bedroom, and his hair, which had been pressed down from drowsiness, curled up in a playful pinch. After watching Gu's mother return to the room, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and in the end he returned to a cold and cold picture. cold face.
It was just past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Yanting originally thought that he hadn't been home for a long time. Since Tang Yi was asked to come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would go back in advance. This idea was decided on an ad hoc basis in the morning. At that time, he was still upset, and even Lin Rui's phone call to help him celebrate his birthday hastily hung up. Who knew that he was upset and tossed all the way home, and when he opened the door, he saw someone who never expected to appear here.
All of the senses and reluctance were ironed out for a while. Gu Yanting stood there for a while, staring straight at Tang Yi leaning against the door frame, his brows narrowed, only to think that he looked good everywhere, as if he was glowing.
It was just silent for a long time, but Tang Yi kept looking elsewhere and didn't mean to speak, and his eyes didn't fall on him.
Gu Yanting came back to his senses, like a child who was a guest at someone else's house for the first time. He scratched his head cautiously, and after a while, he realized that it was in his own home, so he rubbed his hands, cleared his throat and greeted Tang Yi, " you you you… "
Tang Yi turned around and entered the house. When Gu Yanting was still making a difficult choice between "Hello", "What's wrong with you" and "You're here", Tang Yi turned around and took out his jacket.
He is going.
Gu Yanting's brain circuit was instantly connected, and he almost rushed over to block the door of the bedroom, blocking Tang Yi back to the bedroom. Many times the body is more loyal than the mouth. For example, when he sees Tang Yi leaving, his instinctive reaction is to stop him, just like picking coriander for Tang Yi when he eats, and consciously washing and sleeping after drinking. The conditioned reflex of honesty and nature has never been Without going through the brain.
But the mouth had to pass the brain, Gu Yanting searched his stomach, sweating on his forehead anxiously, and finally two words of hardness popped out, "Don't go."
Tang Yi was so frightened by the way he flew over that he was sweating, always afraid that the next second would be the appearance of Gu's mother pushing out the door. Fortunately, the door next door didn't move, and Gu Yanting didn't do anything else after he rushed over.
Tang Yi was annoyed in his heart, and put all the embarrassment and guilt of facing the Gu family's parents on Gu Yanting's head. He almost gritted his teeth and frowned and whispered, "Get out of the way!"
"No!" Gu Yanting looked at him fearfully, then turned to look at Gu's mother's door next door, and pleaded in a low voice, "Don't go, okay?"
When the two of them got along, Gu Yanting seldom asked soft words for help. He had been very contemptuous of this kind of behavior since the second period of the middle school, and it was almost included in the rules of manhood. But I didn't expect to break the precepts repeatedly recently.
Since that night, when he asked Tang Yi if he would break up with a trembling voice, Gu Yanting felt that the kind of morality had left him arrogantly, but it was a pity that Tang Yi refused to eat, and his brows were furrowed and he became more and more impatient. .
Gu Yanting didn't practice his skill at begging and coaxing people, so he put out the fire halfway, so he changed it to "I'm leaving, I'll leave in a while."
"No," Tang Yi closed his eyes, took a step back from him, and finally gave him a straight look, "I won't be here anyway, I have to say goodbye sooner or later."
"Since you won't be here in the future, can't you stay with them for one more night?" Gu Yanting followed the words and rushed off, taking a deep breath after speaking.
Not coming anymore? ?
After thinking about it, he suddenly understood that this is his home, Tang Yi broke up with him, and of course he has to cut off the relationship with everyone around him. His mind was spinning rapidly, and after contacting back and forth, he automatically screened out the six keywords "old and dead".
When Gu Yanting was in school, the teacher often used warm water to boil a frog to describe the process of a person being trapped. A stock has dropped by the limit for two consecutive days, and as long as the market opens on the third day, there will be a large number of people who will sell frantically. It has been detoured for quite some time since then, for fear of a repeat of the prank. However, if there is a small fluctuation in the downward trend, everyone will hold it with the mentality of "wait a minute" or "it doesn't matter" until it is deeply stuck.
Most people who invest in the stock market do not understand the economy. People operate by their own instincts, and every move is a direct response to their inner greed, ignorance, resentment, and anger. This also applies to life. Tang Yi's indifference to Gu Yanting can be traced back to a year and a half ago. It was first occasional impatience and sleeping in separate beds, and later it turned into a cold war with increasing frequency. Tang Yi's dependence is getting heavier and heavier, but Tang Yi is making himself more and more sober.
"It's not... Tang Yi, you..." Gu Yanting read it over and over again, staring blankly at the person with an alert face. The latter's expression at the moment didn't look like the three-year-old who shared the same bed, and there was still a bit of disgust in the cold phoenix eyes.
Gu Yanting was silent for a while, but still said, "I'll sit and leave in a while. My father has been waiting for you for half a year. If you don't come again in the future, just stay with him for a long time, so he doesn't hurt you in vain."
He didn't want Tang Yi to refute, and said, "After all, I have more chances to come back in the future."
Tang Yi's weaknesses are not many, but they are obvious. His understanding and emphasis on the word "kindness" is different from that of ordinary people. After three years with him, Gu Yanting has gained the most from knowing this. He knew that if he said that, Tang Yi would definitely hesitate.
Sure enough, a trace of shame flashed across Tang Yi's face.
Gu Yanting raised his hand, took a step back and knocked on his parents' door, "Mom, I'll come back and bring you something. Go back after dinner!"
After listening to it for a while, Mother Gu realized that the two of them couldn't be reconciled for the time being, so she could only agree, "Okay, then I'll cook earlier, you leave earlier!"
---
Tang Yi rubbed his brows with some headache, and a little person in his heart yelled, "It's the last time, stay with Dad Gu", while the other snorted and mocked, "This is Gu Yanting's house, not yours. !". During the battle between heaven and man, I saw Gu's mother open the door, and then Gu's father cautiously put his head out and glanced at Tang Yi.
"Don't you need to go back, Xiao Tang?"
Tang Yi hesitated.
"are you feeling better?"
"better."
"Hey! Let's play another game?" Dad Gu laughed, and magically took out the small chess box again.
Obviously "one more game" can't accurately summarize Gu's father's thoughts. Tang Yi calmed down and accompanied him slowly this time. The advantage of this is to avoid the embarrassment of facing Gu Yanting, who was pouring tea and water on the side throughout the whole process, his silent gaze fell on Tang Yi from time to time, and fluttered away before the latter noticed. Obviously, the quality of watching chess is several times higher than that of Gu's mother.
Mother Gu's stewed chicken soup was learned from neighbors who danced in the square. Angelica and astragalus were put in, saying that it would take more than three hours to boil. It's just that there are too many angelicas, and the steam is hot from the beginning, and the smell of Chinese medicine is not the smell of chicken soup coming out of the kitchen. Gu's mother suddenly felt a huge loss of face, and while she was talking about what was going on, it wasn't this smell, and she called Gu Yanting to buy chicken and vegetables with her again.
After all this ups and downs, it was past six o'clock after dinner.
The sky began to get dark, and the road from Dad Gu's house was not easy to walk, and there were no street lights. Gu Yanting had a bit of a shadow over there after he was in a car accident. Now that it was dark, he was stunned, grabbed his bag and left.
Tang Yi suddenly felt that he was still occupying the magpie's nest, and it should be himself who left at this time.
Mother Gu took out a flashlight from under the coffee table and hurriedly handed it to her wife beside her, "Quick, go and see Yan Ting! If it gets dark, you won't be able to see Dao!"
Father Gu was still turning his head to ponder the unfinished endgame on the coffee table, and he snorted, "It's not dark! It's early!" Gu's mother frowned, and Gu Yanting suddenly said, "No, Mom, let Tang Just send it to me."
Tang Yi was hesitating whether he should leave or not, when he heard the words, he was stunned for a moment.
Gu Yanting lowered his head and changed his shoes without looking at him, which seemed to be a natural sentence. Gu's mother turned her head and looked over.
"Okay," Tang Yi took the flashlight and paused, "Let's go."
The autumn wind was getting stronger, and it was only half a month before Tang Yi took a taxi to KTV. The goose bumps when he saw Gu Yanting protect Lin Rui into the taxi with his own eyes was reported again, and he stood tremblingly on Tang Yi's arm, waving the flag and shouting.
Gu Yanting turned around and saw that he was not wearing a coat, so he took off his own and was about to put it on. Seeing that, Tang Yi made a mistake, and the distance between the two has been widened.
It's not all dark at this moment, and the last sunset is still lovingly looking after the world. When the two walked out, the front and back were separated by a distance, but the elongated shadows overlapped. After Tang Yi took a step back, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of the shadow on the ground. He took a step back, seeing that the slender shadow was completely gone. Then he raised his head coldly and motioned for Gu Yanting to continue walking forward.
Gu Yanting watched Tang Yi's movements without saying a word, and after a while, he glanced at him with a complicated expression, and turned around silently.
The bus station arrived soon, and it was not completely dark after arriving at the place. Gu Yanting's face was hidden under the darkness, gradually becoming a little blurry. He was very straightforward this time, telling Tang Yi, "There are not many people on this train, and sometimes it only comes once an hour. If you can't do it, go back first."
Tang Yi clearly felt the anticipation and trembling in Gu Yanting's words. If you come for a bus every hour, it can be understood that it is not worth waiting for too long, so let him go first. It can also be understood that it is too lonely to wait for the car alone, so let Tang Yi stay with him.
Tang Yi was still able to grasp his expectations from Gu Yanting's words, but at this moment he had no interest in indulging him. Tang Yi nodded politely, "Okay."
Gu Yanting looked back again, Tang Yi could not wait to walk away with two wings.
When Tang Yi returned to Gu's house, Gu's mother had already gone to the square dance. He played a few more games with Dad Gu, but they were defeated again and again. When Dad Gu was satisfied with the intermission, Tang Yi also explained his intentions.
"Uncle Gu, my work may be transferred in the future, so I won't be able to see you and auntie often. You should take care of your health."
In addition to the regular Mid-Autumn Festival, Tang Yi can't come three or four times a year, so the "normal" is not very meaningful. If this is said to Gu's mother, the latter will quickly understand the overtones. It's a pity that Dad Gu is obedient, and he doesn't know that there is a deeper meaning to this. He nodded happily, "Don't worry! We are both healthy!"
The carefully prepared excuses for all kinds of lies are useless, farewell is far less difficult and solemn than he imagined, and Tang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after only ten minutes of the new game, I heard Gu's mother open the door and came back, shouting loudly, "Old Gu! It's raining!"
--
The raindrops slammed down, Gu Yanting carried his bag and pestle beside the bus stop, looked around, and finally trotted a few steps to hide under the canopy of a canteen not far away.
Because of the road construction, the shuttle bus comes every hour, and the latest one is at 8 o'clock in the evening. Today, he stood here waiting for two hours, and he didn't see a shadow of the car. It seemed that he didn't plan to start.
Gu Yanting leaned against the wall behind him, and was immediately thrown over his shoulder by the gray wall.
After Gu Yanting arrived at the station, he waited until it was dark and there was no bus. The last bus was at 8 o'clock in the evening. At this time, there was no sign of the car. It seemed that there was no car left tonight. Gu Yanting was wearing a coat and barely found a place to shelter from the rain at the door of a closed shop.
He didn't want to go home, and Tang Yi treated him like a living plague. The latter is bound to leave in the rain as soon as he returns. But there are no small hotels around here. The only hotel is still opened by my own home, and it is also closed today. Gu Yanting sneezed, wrapped his clothes, and curled up at the door of the shop.
Gu's mother's eyelids were twitching all night. Looking at the rain outside, she called Gu Yanting worriedly.
Gu Yanting saw that the phone's battery was running out, and said that he had arrived home and hung up the phone. Gu's mother sighed, obviously already believed.
Who knew that three minutes later, Tang Yi also called.
"Auntie asked me to ask, are you home yet?" Tang Yi's voice was cool and cold, Gu Yanting held back a sneeze that was about to come out, and nodded busyly, "Arrived!"
Tang Yi did not speak.
The sound of rain changed from pattering to crashing, Gu Yanting rubbed his nose and shrank toward the dry place. Who knew there was a little noise, and Tang Yi also heard it.
"Where are you," Tang Yi said suddenly, "you haven't left yet."
An obvious statement, the tone Tang Yi only uses when he is certain of something. Gu Yanting wanted to admit it subconsciously, but suddenly thought of Tang Yi's disgusting expression when he saw that he was about to leave, and the indifference that even the shadows had to be clearly distinguished.
He laughed twice, pretending to be relaxed and said, "How is it possible, I got home early and I'm getting ready to take a hot bath!"
"Then you can wash one for me," Tang Yi said indifferently, "turn on the faucet and let it go."
"..." Gu Yanting looked up at the rain screen, then looked down at himself, "Tang Yi..."
"Come back." Tang Yi sighed, "This is your home."
Gu Yanting ran back home in the rain with Bao Bao all the way. Mother Gu, who opened the door, was taken aback. Obviously, she hadn't turned the corner from her son taking a bath at home and his son running back soaking wet.
Gu Yanting only vaguely said that he had left something very important, then sneeze and got into the bathroom.
When I came out again, the lights in the living room had been turned off. There was a crack in the door of the second bedroom, and Gu Yanting, wrapped in a bath towel, carefully pushed it open.
Tang Yi was already asleep, he wrapped a quilt against the wall, and the two of them could put another one in the middle of the bed. Gu Yanting's mind was full of Tang Yi's sigh on the way back.
This is your home.
So this is not my home.
Originally, in Gu Yanting's eyes, Tang Yi's orphan status was not fundamentally different from Lin Rui's single parent status. When he was in college, he also went to the orphanage, and with his classmates, he brought several groups of children to play games, or did handicrafts with them.
But it was difficult for him to find Tang Yi's shadow in those children with timid and fearful eyes. Tang Yi is more like a noble son who grew up in a wealthy family, and his parents must divorce when he grows up, rather than the death of both. He has always been gentle and wise, with very few negative emotions. In this regard, Sao Fat once shook his head and waved his tail for a while.
He said that sometimes the more miserable people have, the brighter their smiles are. Because he knows what pain is, and he doesn't want others to suffer too.
Gu Yanting worshipped Sao Pang for a long time because of this nonsense, until Sao Pang felt good about himself and started selling chicken soup and a mouse poop beside him.
The meaning of that rat shit is that easy to get is not a good word. You see, spittle is spittle, spittle, which means that things that are easily obtained will not be cherished too much, and will be spurned sooner or later.
Sao Pang gave Gu Yanting a very turbulent look at that time and said, "Boss, sister-in-law is too easy for you, so be careful.
That drunken midnight, Gu Yanting felt the phone and called Tang Yi in a daze. After realizing that the two had broken up, he thought of Sao Fatty's iron and blunt words.
So he said, "Tang Yi, let's not break up, okay?" Tang Yi didn't hear half a sentence, Gu Yanting only said it to the air.
"What did I do wrong, you say, can't I change it? I will cherish you in the future."

Gu Yanting tiptoed into the room, closed the door gently again, and locked it. Tang Yi left a small lamp for him, and there was a small blue book under the lamp, Gu Yanting glanced at it from a distance, the title of the book was "Walden Pond".
The light of the desk lamp was very soft, Gu Yanting slowly dimmed the brightness, and when the light was so weak that he could only vaguely see the outline of things, he gently sat on the bed, and then lay down behind Tang Yi.
Tang Yi wrapped himself in the quilt as a burden, only showing his head outside, with his back to Gu Yanting. Gu Yanting lay down on tiptoe, and when he turned his head, he could only see the back of his head.
In autumn, the quilt was still thin. Tang Yi's slender body was very eye-catching even when wrapped in a circle. At first, Gu Yanting was still anxious and melancholy about the current situation of the two of them. He turned his head and saw Tang Yi lying on the other side of the double bed, smelling Tang Yi. The refreshing aroma of the commonly used shampoo, I don't know why, there is an evil fire in my body.
He didn't dare to move casually, so his deep eyes gradually turned dark, staring at Tang Yi's back for a moment. My mind is full of clips of the past two people laughing and sparring on the bed. The last time Tang Yi came, after Gu Yanting and other parents next door fell asleep, Tang Yi was woken up in the middle of the night by the wild beast.
Gu Yanting's favorite look of those beautiful phoenix eyes that are slightly raised when they are emotionally moved, when the water glides down, Tang Yi's unconscious snort can make his legs go soft for a long time.
Gu Yanting also had the opportunity to lie beside Lin Rui. At that time, he was rejected not long after his confession. Lin Rui was drunk at a party, and Gu Yanting sent him home. Lin Rui's mother was absent that day, and his stepfather didn't know which starlet's bed he was rolling over. Lin Rui was so drunk that he dragged him not to let him go. Later, he took off his clothes and went to bed, holding Gu Yanting's wrist tightly the whole time.
Gu Yanting turned his head with a burning face, and after being pulled down by Lin Rui, he spent the night carefully thinking about pulling his wrist back.
When he sent Lin Rui back, the group of people at the party all booed ambiguous. After a few days, everyone found out that Gu Yanting actually tugged his wrists and slept all night. All of them laughed and beat their chests and feet and patted their thighs. What's more, they asked Gu Yanting if he wanted to go to the men's hospital.
Facts have proved that Gu Yanting is not only incapable of wilting, but his abilities and tricks in certain aspects can be said to be the pinnacle. Tang Yi usually wears strict clothes, the button of his shirt should be buttoned to the top, and his black-rimmed glasses are square. Sometimes when he's a bully, he pushes people to the ground half forcibly and tore his clothes.
Tang Yi has absolute sovereignty over everything in their lives, but in this aspect of their lives, they have never spoken to Gu Yanting. Gu Yanting occasionally pointed at Gu Xiaoting proudly, and whispered in Tang Yi's ear, "There is no connection between the two of us, and it all depends on it."
The night was getting darker, and the sound of rain outside had the ambiguity of wanting to talk. It had been more than a month since the last cold war with Tang Yi. For the first time, Gu Yanting felt that the night was so difficult, and it was difficult for him.
