Chapter 169: Watch a movie

Views:

The next morning, 6:00

Gu Lai, who was lying on the bed, was like a human alarm clock. When the time came, his eyes opened automatically. He sat up straight, without the chaotic sleepiness of a normal person when he first woke up. He got out of bed and folded the scattered sheets into neat tofu cubes. Flatten the sheets, then wash up and go out, ready to go to work.

The phone was fully charged last night. Gu Lai habitually checked the news and saw that Shen You had passed his friend application. He couldn't help but squinted and smiled, the dimples on his cheeks were looming, he sent a "good morning" greeting, and then ran Go to the construction site.

Moving bricks eats youthful rice, which takes a lot of damage to the body. Many people in their early 40s are full of illnesses, but the wages are relatively high. As long as they work hard and work hard, their monthly income is not a problem.

Gu Lai is an outlier among them. It's not a good thing to have good physical strength. Anyway, the foreman has been working for so many years, and he has never seen someone stronger than him. He climbed the stairs several times on a hot day, carrying concrete on his back, his face was not red or he was out of breath. , Never shouting tired, one person can do the work of three people, and the salary is twice as high as others.

Tsk tsk, just blinded that face in vain.

During the lunch break at noon, Gu Lai went to a nearby fruit stand to buy two boxes of cut iced watermelons, then found a shady corner to sit and eat, silently thinking about whether to buy milk tea for the evening.

There was a girl passing by not far away. Originally, she just glanced at him casually, but when she saw him, she couldn't walk, but because of Gu Lai's whole body exuding the temperament of keeping strangers away, she didn't dare to go forward, but quietly raised it up. Taking pictures with my mobile phone, I whispered to my girlfriend: "My God, what kind of bricks are you looking for when you look so handsome? Video shooting online is absolutely popular."

The girlfriend also covered her mouth and screamed in a low voice: "Ah, ah, so handsome! You took a copy of me, and the number of likes on Weibo will definitely be high."

Gu Lai was originally bowing his head, and the tips of his ears moved when he heard the words. He raised his eyes to look at the girl, his pupils flashed a touch of cold inorganic data, and then he continued to eat his watermelon.

"Damn it," I don't know what happened, the girl who took the photo suddenly changed her face and shook her phone vigorously, "Why is the screen black, I bought it new!"

The best friend fanned the hot air, and couldn't bear to continue standing: "Oh, is the sun too bright, find a shady place to see, I'm almost sunburned."

However, when they fiddled with their phones again, Gu Lai was no longer there.

Shen You had insomnia last night, and only fell asleep in the morning, so he missed the news from Gu Lai. When he woke up in the afternoon, his temples were in sudden pain, which was a sequela of long-term alcoholism.

Shen You closed his eyes and frowned. He lay on the bed for a long time before he recovered. He stretched out a hand and touched the phone, squinting and looking at it, only to find that there were no nutritious chat messages from Ke Jing and Tang Yishan. , and then Gu Lai's "Good morning".

Not even nutritious.

Shen You was expressionless, sat up, took out a cigarette case and lit a cigarette, his always sarcastic face was blurred in the curling smoke, he unconsciously fiddled with his mobile phone for a long time, but he couldn't understand it after thinking for a long time. What is Gu Lai going to do

Want to get back together? But it doesn't look like he's chasing someone.

Want to stop? But if you add friends for no reason, you can't just play that kind of bloody breakup and want to be friends.

With yesterday's lesson, Shen You didn't ask Tang Yishan that dog-headed military advisor this time, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to reply, and finally threw the phone aside, intending to wait and see what happened.

Humans need to maintain a good routine of work and rest to keep their bodily functions in a healthy state. Every time Gu Lai’s work is overdone, he is not in a hurry to get off work overtime like others to earn money, and he leaves work on time at seven o’clock every day.

The foreman gave him a good image: "Gu Lai, get off work so early every day and go back to accompany your daughter-in-law?"

Gu Lai shook his head seriously: "There is no daughter-in-law."

The foreman patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "A handsome guy, how can he be so stupid, not now, but in the future, remember to call us when the wine is served."

daughter in law

Gu Lai thought about it, marriage seems to be a part of life, so do you have to get married? He jogged home, and when he reached the door, he happened to meet Yu Xi going out, and was about to say hello, but when he looked up to see the appearance of the other party, all Gu Lai's words were blocked in his throat.

Today Yu Xi painted black skin European and American makeup, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, her collarbone was painted with silver highlights, and her body was hot. In the eyes of normal men, it was a very wild beauty. She saw Gu Lai staring at herself. Speaking out, it automatically defaulted to being amazing, and smiled and threw a wink: "Am I good-looking?"

"...It looks good," Gu Lai gestured with his hand, trying to describe it, "It's like a glittering preserved egg."

Yu Xi: "… "

Hehe, thank you so much.

Yu Xi glanced at the cement print on his clothes, looked up and down and said, "You just came back from moving bricks?"

Gu Lai nodded: "Well, how about you?"

Yu Xi habitually wanted to fiddle with the hair on her shoulders, but found that it was already tied into a high ponytail, so she had no choice but to do it, and instead said cheerfully: "My friend and I went out to watch a movie, today is the premiere of "ET" , remember to watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!"

Gu Lai is now in a state of being relatively new to everything. Hearing this, he tilted his head: "Movie? Can you take me with you?"

"It's not suitable," Yu Xi touched him lightly with her arm, her eyes like a hooligan, "My boyfriend and I are going to see it, don't be a light bulb, next time sister will invite you, or you can make an appointment yourself. Go out and watch, but remember to grab tickets in advance."

Gu Lai was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you break up?"

Yu Xi spread her hands: "Can't we talk anymore? Okay, don't talk anymore, I still have a dinner appointment. It's too late, so let's go first."

Gu Lai saw her disappearing at the corner of the corridor, so he opened the door and entered the house. He took a shower as usual, and then changed his dirty clothes. He originally wanted to go to bed, but when he saw that it was still early, he searched with his mobile phone. For the movie that Yu Xi just mentioned, it was found that there are still screenings at nine o'clock in the movie city near the city center, but there are not many places left.

Gu Lai counted and found that his current friends only seemed to be Yu Xi, Shen You, and Yang Mian. After thinking for a moment, he sent Shen You a message: [Want to watch a movie together? 】

Anything like a movie appointment will seem a little ambiguous no matter who you put it on. The moment Shen You saw the news, what Tang Yishan said yesterday sounded in his mind - he wants to soak in you.

Does he want to fuck me

Shen You took a minute to reply to him: [When? 】

Gu Lai seconds back: [Tonight at 9:10, Stellar Movie City. 】

Shen You wanted to see what trick he was playing, and agreed: [Okay. 】

While watching a movie, you can buy milk tea and eat popcorn. Gu Lai smiled and squinted on the other side of the screen. He was still so caring that people couldn’t pick the wrong thing out: [Okay, I’ll pick you up at 8:40. 】

After he finished speaking, he bought two tickets online, and found that the time was a little tight and there might be traffic jams on the road, so he didn't blow his hair and went out with the key.

Gu Lai arrived at the gate of Shen Youjia's community at 8:40. His hair was half-dry, with slightly damp water vapor, and his upper body was a casual shirt with black and white contrasting colors. The buttons were still tightly buttoned to the Adam's apple. He has a confusing face and a rigorous temperament, which is a complete contradiction.

The prototype of the system is a ball of light, without facial features, so when no one is around, Gu Lai will habitually maintain a state of expressionless face, and it seems that strangers should not be approached.

Shen You faintly felt that he had changed a lot from before, but he didn't want to think about it. He opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot, still smelling strongly of alcohol.

Gu Lai looked at his overly pale face and apparently abnormal mental state, and then said, "You're drinking again."

After speaking and sniffing, he continued to add: "You still smoke."

Shen You didn't look at him, leaned on the back of the chair, calmed down his aching stomach, and said in a meaningless tone, "Oh, so what."

Gu Lai stretched out his hand to fasten his seat belt, and then said in a low voice: "It's not good for your health, your health is very poor."

Shen You smelled a fresh scent of shower gel between his nostrils, but it quickly dissipated. He opened his eyes, looked at the seat belt on his body, and looked at Gu Lai expressionlessly, but unfortunately the latter was very focused when driving. , so the eyes of the two did not meet.

Shen You was habitually wanting to smoke, but when he put his hand into his trouser pocket, Gu Lai seemed to have eyes, and he didn't even look at it. "

He could see that the human being in front of him had been drinking and smoking all year round, and his health was already a bit poor.

The warm touch on his thigh made Shen You's eyes widen for a moment. Damn, what a rogue, he frowned and said angrily, "Take your hands!"

"good."

Gu Lai obediently retracted his hand: "Then don't smoke, it will be short-lived."

"… "

Shen You closed his eyes silently, he didn't want to speak because of a stomachache, he felt that his brain must have been kicked by a donkey, otherwise why would he go out to watch a movie with such a person.

Gu Lai parked his car on the roadside of the movie city and found that the street was very prosperous. The colorful neon lights were lit up in sequence in the night, which was more lively than during the day.

Gu Lai got out of the car and went around to the other side to open the car door for Shen You. Seeing his pale face and fine cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't help asking aloud, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen You didn't answer, got out of the car and said in a cold voice: "You can go and watch it yourself, the movie is about to start."

Gu Lai locked the car, walked into the shopping mall with him, and took the elevator upstairs: "No, I'm running out of time."

They were just ten minutes away from entering the venue early. Gu Lai went to buy a bucket of popcorn and two cups of hot milk tea. When they came back, they saw Shen You holding a can of cold beer. bucket.

The beer is cold, why not drink milk tea

Gu Lai didn't quite understand his thinking, so he walked to the ticket machine to pick up the ticket. Who would have thought that someone would suddenly tap his shoulder, and a low voice with surprise came from his ear: "Alai?!"

Now Gu Lai doesn't have to look back to know who it is. He took out the movie ticket from the ticket booth, turned around and met Yang Mian's surprised gaze, walked to the side and gave up his seat to the person behind, then nodded politely and smiled. He said, "Hello."

Yang Mian was pulled by a colleague to watch the movie, and he never expected to meet Gu Lai, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he tried his best to calm down his tone so that he didn't look so nervous: "It's a coincidence, you also come to watch. Movie?"

Gu Lai nodded, then showed him the movie ticket: ""ET"."

Yang Mian found that he had two movie tickets in his hand, and his expression froze slightly, but he still held a glimmer of hope and asked tentatively, "Did you... come to see it with your friends?"

"What, have an opinion?"

A icy voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them, and they looked along, Shen Youzheng was standing not far away and looked at the two of them with a smile, but Yang Mian was frightened by his knife-like eyes and took a half step back. He grabbed Gu Lai's arm and subconsciously sought protection.

The two exes got together, to be honest, it was disgusting.

Shen You felt disgusted now, seeing Yang Mian next to Gu Lai, how close he wanted to be, he sneered, and without saying a word, he turned and left.

Yang Mian remembered Shen You. When he saw him watching a movie with Gu Lai, he had to think about it. He raised his head and asked, "Alai, you guys..."

Before he could finish speaking, his hands were empty, and he saw Gu Lai striding in the direction of Shen Ji's departure, chasing after him, and his back quickly disappeared into the crowd.

There is a shopping mall under the cinema. It is not easy to find someone. Gu Lai stepped off the escalator and searched the crowd like an eagle. He quickly found Shen You's back and quickly followed.

After leaving the mall, a heat wave hit from the outside, Gu Lai walked out of the revolving door, looked around, and found a figure who was embarrassed by the road, leaning on a tree and vomiting, it was Shen You.

As Gu Lai guessed, there was probably something wrong with his body. He vomited out all the wine he had just drank, his stomach cramped and cramped, and light-colored blue veins burst out on his neck, which looked very painful.

Seeing this, Gu Lai put the milk tea and popcorn aside, and walked up quickly: "Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital."

Shen You clutched his stomach and took a hard breath. Hearing the words, he frowned fiercely and shook off his hand. The expression of resistance was obvious, and he said coldly, "Gu Lai, are you fucking disgusting? I haven't had enough of the ship's drama, why, do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you bring us together?"

Step on two boats

Gu Lai frowned subconsciously: "I didn't."

This is the behavior of a scumbag. It is worse than a soft-boiled man. He will not do it.

Shen You's stomach hurt so much that he couldn't stand up straight, he curled up subconsciously, his face was pale, and the cold sweat broke out.

His car was parked on the opposite side, and after he looked at the road, he was about to drive over, but Shen You grabbed him and said with difficulty, "I'm not going to the hospital..."

He lowered his head in pain, his neckline slid down, accidentally revealing a hideous scar on the back of his neck, twisted terribly, like a burn.

Seeing this, Gu Lai closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling that the wound was a bit scary, but he deeply remembered the scene at this moment in his mind. what to do?"

Shen Youxu's voice became hoarse, he frowned and reported the name of the medicine, and said awkwardly: "You help me buy some medicine."

He probably seldom asked for help, his tone was stiff and awkward, and after speaking, he turned his head and looked aside.

"Okay," Gu Lai lifted him from the ground, sat on the bench beside him, and whispered, "Don't walk around, I'll be back soon."

He was always in a hurry, but this time he seemed a little impatient, and soon disappeared, disappearing into the crowded streets in a blink of an eye.
