Du Xiaoxian lay on the empty big bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze with his eyes open. It's almost twelve o'clock, and Gu Nianbin hasn't returned yet, so, is he planning not to return tonight? She didn't make a single phone call. She wanted to call, but didn't dare. Fear of hearing things you don't want to hear.
She didn't know what happened to Gu Nianbin? It was like a changed person overnight. Too tired from work? Or... don't like her anymore
The wind poured in from half of the window, blowing the tulle curtains to swirl in the room, like big butterflies fluttering in the darkness, as the curtains fluttered, the light and shadow were bright and dark, it was the moonlight as cold as water.
Du Xiaoxian kicked off his shoes and got off the bed, pulled the curtains aside, and the moon suddenly appeared in the sky. The autumn moon is extraordinarily bright, big and round, like a big jade plate. The sky is crab-blue, with a faint white light, and it is brighter outside than inside. When the night wind came, Du Xiaoxian couldn't help shivering, and clasped her hands tightly. She was still sleeping in Gu Nianbin's short-sleeved T-shirt. The wide cuffs were blown up by the wind, and goose bumps appeared on her arms.
From time to time, there are cars passing by on the road, dragging their scarlet taillights, and the towering street lights stand silently, like guardians of the city. The neon lights on the tall buildings in the distance flickered silently, red, yellow, green, blue and purple, constantly changing colors. The night is gorgeous, but it is like a silent world, which makes people feel sad in vain. She seldom stands here alone, and every time there is Gu Nianbin's warm embrace behind her. He whispered and chuckled in her ear, and pointed out to her the buildings and lights in the distance... Sometimes he would kiss her neck and earlobes, making her tickle, and then the two of them had a fight, and the room was full of laughter .
Du Xiaoxian closed the window and drew the curtains. Go back to bed and lie down. She closed her eyes and tried hard to sleep, but two lines of tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes...
When Gu Nianbin returned home, he saw Xia Xiaowan unexpectedly. She was sitting in the lobby chatting with Fang Yaru. Seeing Gu Nianbin coming back, she greeted with a smile, then stood up and said, "Auntie, I have something else to do. Let's go first. You have to take the medicine to be effective. I will give it to you next time." Bring some boxes with you."
Fang Yaru said: "Dinner will be served soon, shall we leave after eating?"
"No, I have an appointment," Xia Xiaowan said, "I happen to pass by here, so I'll bring you medicine along the way."
"Xiaowan, thank you so much." Hearing what she said, Fang Yaru couldn't keep her anymore, so she called Gu Nianbin, "Send Xiaowan off for me."
"No, no, no," Xia Xiaowan hurriedly waved her hands, walking towards the door in a panic.
Gu Nianbin hesitated for a moment, and followed out. When he went down the steps, Xia Xiaowan was already at the side of the car, opened the door and was about to get in. He called her, Xia Xiaowan looked back at him, said with a smile: "I'm leaving first, you go in."
Gu Nianbin said: "Why do you want to leave as soon as I come back? Could it be that you are avoiding me?"
"No, it depends on where you want to go," Xia Xiaowan said, "I really made an appointment, and I will bring medicine to my aunt." After a pause, her voice lowered: "Besides, I'm afraid you might misunderstand, I Coming here really has nothing to do with you. I didn't know you were coming back today."
Gu Nianbin frowned: "Why do you say that? I didn't misunderstand anything, the matter is over, you don't need to avoid suspicion like this."
Xia Xiaowan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "It turns out that you are so open-minded, but I think too much. You know, although I have a thick skin, I still don't want this kind of thing to cause your misunderstanding."
"No," Gu Nianbin finally smiled, "Thank you for visiting my mother."
Xia Xiaowan also smiled, "You're welcome, Auntie and I hit it off quite well. I'll go first." She waved her hand, got into the car, got up, then poked her head out to wave to him, and then made a big turn Drive towards the gate.
Gu Nianbin turned around and went up the steps, seeing Fang Yaru standing at the door, he asked, "Where's Dad?"
"Upstairs, I've always had some heartache recently, and the doctor told him to stay in bed and recuperate."
Gu Nianbin said, "I'll go see him."
After entering the hall, he asked again: "What medicine did Xia Xiaowan bring you?"
Fang Yaru sighed: "Recently I have been suffering from low back pain. I guess there is something wrong with the lumbar spine again. Xiaowan listened to me last time and took it to heart. She asked someone to get medicine from abroad and said it was effective. Let me try it."
Gu Nianbin felt a little guilty, and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I've been busy with work recently, and I haven't had time to come back to see you and Dad, I..."
"It's okay, it's okay," Fang Yaru patted his son's arm: "It's all old problems, it doesn't matter, you are busy with yours, don't worry about us, there is Lao Xiao taking care of the family, you can rest assured, besides, your dad and I can take care of you." Eat and sleep, it doesn't matter."
The mother and son went upstairs while they were talking. Gu Guangxian was very happy to see his son coming, and patted the edge of the bed to let him sit down: "I heard that the province is holding another bid for the ecological park recently. Do you have any intention?"
"The bidding documents are being prepared. There are 18 companies bidding this time, and the competition is fierce."
"Well," Gu Guangxian nodded, "It's a good thing to have competition. Who do you entrust to take charge of this case?"
"Bo Qing recommended Nian Jing, I think it's okay, so let him take full responsibility."
Gu Guangxian smiled and said: "That kid has been obedient since he was a child, unlike his brother, let him help out more in the company's affairs in the future."
"I know," Gu Nianbin said: "The company's stall is too big, if he can help, I can relax."
"Nian Bin," Gu Guangxian looked at his son with satisfaction and smiled, "Father is very pleased that you can think that way. Although you are at the helm of the Gu family, it is not yours. It belongs to our Gu family. A single tree cannot make a forest, but there are many talents You are powerful. You are the only son and have no real brothers. Since Nian Jing can help, you treat him as your real brother. At any time, your family members are more reliable."
Gu Nianbin nodded: "Dad, you don't have to worry about it. I know it well. It is my son's blessing to take care of your own health." Move to the ancestral house, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is good, and it is quiet, you can rest there for a while, and I will let Dr. Liang go with you."
Fang Yaru nodded: "I think so too. If I didn't worry about your business, I would have lived in the ancestral house with your father a long time ago."
"Mom, you'd better worry about Dad's health first. You have a bad waist, and it takes a lot of effort to go up and down the stairs. The ancestral house is all bungalows, so it's easy to get in and out."
"Okay, when your dad gets better, we'll live there. You don't come back often anyway, so leave a housekeeper and take the rest with you."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements when the time comes." Gu Nianbin looked at his father with a sick face, feeling guilty again. He was busy with the company, but he put all his thoughts on Du Xiaoxian. His parents were sick, and he, a son, didn't know it. It was really unfilial!
Thinking of Du Xiaoxian, his mood became even more depressed. Fang Yaru saw that he looked very tired, and said, "Go down to eat, and go to bed early after eating."
Gu Nianbin nodded, helped his father up from the bed, and slowly went downstairs with his arm.
After eating, Gu Nianbin didn't leave, but stayed to drink tea and chat with his parents. Until nine o'clock, when his parents went upstairs, he was still sitting in the hall in a daze. Xiao Bonian came over and called him: "Master, can I have another cup of tea for you?"
Gu Nianbin was in a daze, when he called him, he raised his head in a daze, as if he didn't understand Xiao Bonian's meaning.
Xiao Bonian said it again: "Master, the tea is cold, I'll make you another cup."
"Don't drink anymore," Gu Nianbin stood up and walked outside. The wind outside the house was so strong that his eyes were squinted, and fallen leaves were flying around. Under the quiet moonlight, they looked like a group of big moths that only came out at night.
Gu Nianbin went down the steps and walked towards his car. Xiao Ding quickly opened the car door, but Gu Nianbin didn't go in, and said, "I won't leave tonight, you pick her up from school tomorrow morning, and I will drive to the company by myself."
Although Xiao Ding was very surprised, he didn't dare to ask a word, and stood respectfully and said hello.
Gu Nianbin turned around and went back to the house, slowly walked up the stairs beside the wall, he wanted to sleep in his own room tonight.
Pushing open the door, everything in the house is as usual, and everything is placed in a fixed position. Since he came back last time to pick up some things, he hasn't come in again, and there is still Xia Xiaowan's photo on the table, looking at the familiar face, Gu Nianbin seemed melancholy, but at the same time seemed uneasy. He opened the drawer and put the photo inside. He went to the bedroom again, and put the photo frame on the bedside table into the drawer. Then he stood by the window and lit a cigarette.
I can't remember which night it was, but he stood here and saw Du Xiaoxian, and saw her clear and ethereal eyes. Since then, those eyes have been firmly engraved in his heart. Later they got to know each other well, and he would stand here every morning, watching her clean, her concentration, and the brilliance in her eyes when she occasionally straightened up. Sometimes she would look up at him, blushing, restrained as if she had done something wrong, or run away without a word.
Gu Nianbin sighed, he really missed her at that time, and her innocent and shy smile.
A cigarette was held between his fingers and he didn't take two puffs. The gray ashes slowly grew longer and finally fell to the ground, silently, but it seemed that Gu Nianbin was taken aback. He threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray , took out a paper towel to wipe off the soot on the ground. Then walk to the bathroom to take a shower.
The shower sprayed out countless crystal water strands, which felt like pain and itching when it hit the body, Gu Nianbin closed his eyes, stood quietly under the shower, and let the water strands wash himself, the water was cold, but it was not too cold his heart. It was like being frozen by the blood, bringing out an unbearable pain. He liked her so much, loved her with his whole life, and painted colorful colors for her who was like a white paper, but now... is he going to lose her
Gu Nianbin suddenly opened his eyes, turned off the water, pulled the towel and dried himself carelessly. He flipped through a set of clothes in the cloakroom and changed, then hurried downstairs. He didn't call Xiaoding, he drove a car in the garage and went out.
As he galloped all the way, the water from his hair dripped down his neck, and then slowly flowed into his clothes coldly. He didn't feel it at all, and he drove the car like he was going to fly, and finally, he saw his apartment, and the window was black.
Du Xiaoxian—Actually, she didn't plan that he would come back, so she didn't keep the lamp.
Gu Nianbin parked the car on the side of the road, gasping for breath while pressing the position of his heart, his heart really hurts, it's going to die of pain, what should we do
