Spent the whole day at Bo Ye and Tang Zhi's house.
Gu Meng cooked the dinner, and Bo Ye ordered takeaway for the fresh vegetables.
Gu Meng seriously suspected that the husband and wife, under the name of inviting them to play, actually wanted to grab him for a meal.
The four of them had dinner together, and when it was completely dark, Bo Ye and Tang Zhi sent them downstairs and waited for a taxi together.
"See you in the next year." Bo Ye helped close the car door, waved to the two people in the back seat, took a step back, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
Behind him, because of drinking, Tang Zhi's face was flushed.
Tang Zhi leaned on Bo Ye's shoulder slightly on tiptoe, smiled a little silly, obviously drunk, and said to the two people in the car: "Happy New Year!"
The taxi started, and the figures of the husband and wife slid past the window and fell behind.
Through the reversing mirror, Gu Meng saw the deserted street, Bo Ye grabbed Tang Zhi who was lying on his shoulders to his side, wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders with one hand, and rubbed the top of his hair affectionately with the other.
Tang Zhi didn't know what he heard, and bent over with a smile.
The two men maintained that posture and stumbled towards the residential area.
Gu Meng tilted her head and leaned against the car window, looked away from the rearview mirror, and smiled unconsciously.
This moment is the best moment.
At this time, a big hand came over and gently turned his head to the other side, so Gu Meng was resting on Enjin's shoulder.
Gu Meng raised her eyelids and looked up, En Jin was also looking at him.
In the dimly lit car, one could clearly see the dots of smile in the man's eyes.
Gu Meng didn't say anything, and adjusted her sitting posture slightly to make her pillow more comfortable.
Bunches of dim streetlights passed by the car window, and they happened to be reflected on Gu Meng's cheeks, thus casting a warm tone on the cold white skin. He also drank some sake in the evening, and the end of his eyes was slightly red. At this moment, because he was completely relaxed, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, revealing a lazy tiredness.
Enjin looked down at such a man, couldn't look away, only felt that it was beautiful.
Enjin lowered her head slightly, and whispered against Gu Meng's hair: "I'll add one more time this week."
Gu Meng understood.
He licked his hot lower lip and counted, today is the last day of this week, and the extra one must be tonight.
The lingering alcohol made his head dizzy, and with the swelling of the heat, his heart also became irritable.
But Gu Meng is not drunk to the point of fooling around, she still has the self-discipline she should have.
He rubbed Enjin's shoulder, as if shaking his head, and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow, no, no."
"I'll be very careful." Enjin's soft voice carried the meaning of acting like a baby.
Gu Meng raised her head slightly, and looked at Enjin for a long while, the man's moist eyes were fixed with invisible hooks.
With full determination, Gu Meng leaned back on Enjin's shoulder again, covered her eyes with one hand, and refused the beauty in front of her.
"No," he said. "Go to work tomorrow. Keep your energy up."
"You love going to work, not me." Enjin said.
Gu Meng laughed: "Who would love to go to work?"
Seeing Enjin turning her head to look out the car window, she seemed to have a little emotion.
Gu Meng sat upright, restrained her expression, and said to him: "Zi, before I met you, my life progress was very slow, and I didn't want to bear too much. Anyway, I am quite casual and content with the status quo."
Then the topic changed, and he said again: "But you are here, the situation is different, I have to advance the plan and let everything settle down as soon as possible."
Enjin looked back at him, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't it stable enough now?"
He felt pretty good, watering the flowers, dazed, grocery shopping, and waiting for Gu Meng every day, everything was very stable.
Gu Meng smiled helplessly, took his hand, and said: "The houses are all rented. In this city, we don't have a place to settle down. How can we call it stable? So..."
Gu Meng lowered her eyelashes, playing with Enjin's slender hands, her gentle smile showed hope, and said: "Go to work, work hard, and work harder next year, and strive to be able to pay the down payment by this time next year."
Enjin's eyes turned around Gu Meng's face. Although she didn't quite understand why people must have their own house, she still suppressed her doubts in her heart.
Reminiscent of how Gu Meng praised Bo Ye and Tang Zhi's family today, Enjin thought for a while and asked, "Do you like big houses?"
"Of course a big house is good, it's spacious and comfortable to live in." Gu Meng leaned back on Enjin's shoulder and looked at the winter night scene outside the car window.
Enjin thought about it again, and then asked, "Do you want to be rich?"
"Think." Gu Meng didn't take Enjin's words too seriously, and joked, "Who doesn't want to become a rich man? After seeing Bo Ye and Tang Zhi, I know what it means to be rich and unimaginably happy."
That's what I said, but maybe it's because it's unimaginable and unreal, so I don't feel envious of that kind of life.
Gu Meng is very indifferent to money, what he wants is actually very simple - a secure life, being able to be with his lover, that is a fulfilling life.
Enjin sat upright and closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about Gu Meng's words.
Outside the car window, the street lights swept past, illuminating his face for a moment, and there was a flash of serious emotion, which was too fast for people to catch.
The taxi arrived at the gate of the community, and the two got off.
On a winter night, after eight o'clock, there are basically no people in the old community, only the open shops in the community are sparsely lit, waiting for the end of the day's business hours.
The surroundings were pitch black, the street lights were dim, and there was no one in front or behind. Only at this time, Gu Meng dared to hold Enjin's hand quietly.
"Cub." Gu Meng called out.
"Huh?" Enjin walked on the road, still absent-minded.
"Next month will be the Spring Festival, will you go home with me?" Gu Meng asked, observing his expression.
"Why do you ask me?" Enjin looked at him strangely, as if it wasn't a question at all, and he took it for granted, "Where Gu Meng is, I will be there. If you go home, I will definitely follow you." .”
Then he pinched Gu Meng's palm and muttered, "You can't get rid of me."
Gu Meng smiled and hugged him, boasting: "You're so good."
Gu Meng continued, saying: "I will introduce you to my mother and two younger sisters at that time, don't be too nervous, they are very nice."
Enjin said: "No, those are also my mother and sister, why are you nervous when facing them?"
Gu Meng was taken aback by what he said, thinking, this man is too sweet.
It would be a lie to say that he is not touched, Enjin likes him, and likes his family at the same time.
Gu Meng couldn't help but stop, put one arm around Enjin's neck, made him nod his head, and whispered: "I haven't rewarded you little red flower today..."
When Gu Meng was about to lean up and kiss her, Enjin's eyes flashed suddenly, and then she raised her eyes to look across the road.
Gu Meng noticed his inattention, frowned, and said, "What's wrong?"
Enjin looked at the opposite side for a while, then turned to Gu Meng, and asked in a soft voice: "Gu Meng, can you lend me ten dollars?"
Gu Meng said, "Why?"
The amount was not large, but this was the first time Enjin asked him to borrow money, so he was inevitably curious about what the other party wanted to do.
Enjin gestured to the other side with her eyes, and said, "Buy a lottery ticket."
"..."
Gu Meng looked back, and saw that the welfare lottery had been open in the community for many years, and the red signboard was especially festive and dazzling in the dark winter night.
Enjin took ten yuan to buy a lottery ticket, and when she went out, she carefully folded it up and stuffed it into her pocket.
Gu Meng has been waiting at the door, seeing him come out, her expression is a little complicated.
He said, "Cub, why do you suddenly want to buy a lottery ticket?"
Enjin took his hand and continued to walk home, with a low and soft voice, said: "I want to get rich overnight."
"..." Gu Meng glanced at him.
Such a simple and unpretentious reason.
Gu Meng originally wanted to educate Enjin that the idea of getting rich quickly is not advisable, but after thinking about it, she thinks it is better to be tactful.
He said: "Cub, the chance of getting rich overnight is too small, we have to believe in getting rich through hard work."
But Enjin said: "It may happen with a small probability. How do you know if you don't buy it and try it? Maybe you will get rich tomorrow."
"...then you... just try it." Gu Meng said, "Don't be obsessed with buying lottery tickets, this is not the right way after all."
Enjin responded, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Gu Meng, for lending me ten yuan."
Gu Meng didn't feel relieved, and said with a smile: "I've given it to you, you don't have to pay it back."
Before going to bed that night, Enjin tossed and turned for a long time, making the not-so-spacious little bed creak.
Gu Meng asked: "Sleep or not?"
Enjin stopped rolling, held back in the quilt for a while, and whispered, "Gu Meng, lend me one hundred yuan."
"..." Gu Meng guessed that he might have waited until now because of a hundred yuan.
"In the second drawer of the closet, there is money under the box. You can take as much as you want in the future." After a while, Gu Meng said again, "If you have too much money, please tell me what it is for if you can."
Enjin asked in a low voice, "Is one hundred yuan too much?"
"It doesn't count." Gu Meng said.
"Oh." Enjin muttered, "Then let's not talk about it..."
Gu Meng heard it, but didn't think much about it, and said helplessly, "Little friend, can you go to sleep?"
Enjin nodded, leaned closer, and said in a soft male voice, "I will always miss you."
Gu Meng let out a lazy "hmm" and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Meng turned off the alarm clock.
When I opened my eyes again, the other side of the bed...
empty.
"Macao?!"
Holding the phone, Gu Meng sat up from the slide in shock.
"Yeah." On the other side of the phone, Bo Ye said lazily, "I took the earliest ordinary plane today, and now I have arrived in Macau."
"No..." Gu Meng was a little confused, she rested her forehead with one hand and calmed down for a while, then said, "He only pocketed a hundred yuan, how did he get on the plane?"
"Anyway, the background record shows that he has arrived." Bo Ye said, "Shouldn't you be concerned about what he is doing in Macau now?"
"What do you think he's going to do?"
"Either go to gamble." Bo Ye's voice was still flat, sounding like it had nothing to do with him, "Either go to see a sexy croupier."
"He only has one hundred yuan with him! Bet with a hammer!" Thinking of Enjin leaving without saying goodbye, Gu Meng couldn't help getting angry.
"Then it's time to see the beautiful dealer." Bo Ye concluded.
Gu Meng rumpled her hair and almost cried, "Brother, don't make fun of me at a time like this."
Bo Ye finally got a serious tone and said, "Do you want me to find someone to bring him back?"
Gu Meng sat on the kindergarten slide and shut herself up for a while, remembering Enjin's various abnormal behaviors last night and those words that he ignored.
Suddenly, he realized that Enjin had already planned to leave.
"The wings are stiff..." Gu Meng narrowed her eyes carefully.
"What?" Bo Ye asked without hearing clearly.
"It's okay." Gu Meng said, "Let him play wild outside, and he will come back naturally if he can't get along."
Bo Ye said: "...Mr. Gu, you're a free-range."
"I've been struggling for three days." Gu Meng said bitterly, "He will contact me."
Before hanging up the phone, Gu Meng said to Bo Ye: "Didn't you say there are people in Macau?"
"Um."
"Then... watch it." Gu Meng hesitated.
Bo Ye chuckled lightly: "You're a dead duck."
Three days later, in a luxurious box in the casino.
A beautiful croupier pushed the door open, walked towards the man sitting behind the poker table with a smile on his face, and said with a mouthful, "Xiansen, the money has arrived, please check it."
It can be seen from the woman's attitude that she respects and adores the man behind the poker table.
Because in these three days, she witnessed this man from being penniless to today, and has won a total of 300,000 US dollars. He has acquired such a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time, and has become a legend in the casino. .
Looking at the man behind the card table, he was wearing a high-quality three-piece suit, dark gray with light checks. Even if he was serious and his expression was so cold that he was about to freeze, it was hard to hide his outstanding appearance.
When looking at people with the end of his eyes twitched, he looks cold especially, but the beautiful dealer who looks at him can't stop blushing and heartbeating.
Who is this person not Eun Jin
It's just that he is very different at this moment from the previous days.
I saw the man's eyes were quiet and far away, dark, he looked extremely deep, and exuded a cold temperament all over his body, he was a completely different person from the obedient appearance in front of Gu Meng.
Enjin rolled up a stack of US dollars and stuffed them into the suit pocket, then got up, took off the long woolen coat on the hanger beside her and put it on her body.
After straightening his collar, he said in a soft voice, "Help book the nearest flight to New York."
The croupier was going to do this immediately, but was suddenly stopped again.
"Xiansen?" The croupier said with a bit of anticipation in his smile, "What else can I do?"
Enjin hesitated for a moment and said, "Before that, please order a bouquet of flowers."
The croupier tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion: "Xiansen, are you going to..."
"To my lover." Enjin's stern expression suddenly showed signs of softening.
As he spoke, he took out a jet-black fountain pen with a gold edge from his pocket, touched the white cardboard on the table, stood by the table and lowered his head to write—
[I think
I can see you every morning...]
After finishing writing, Enjin's eyes checked the paper, and slightly raised the corner of her lower lip.
He shook the card to let the ink dry quickly, and then stuffed the card into the envelope.
As he walked towards the door, he handed the envelope to the croupier and said calmly, "This one, please deliver it with the flowers."
On the fourth day after Enjin left, Gu Meng went to and from get off work as usual, outsiders could not see the difference, but only he knew it, and he was always suffocating.
Three days have passed, and there is still no news about Enjin. Gu Meng feels more and more anxious, wishing to book a plane ticket to Macau, and personally catch him and give him a good beating—
Let you run around!
But when facing the children in the class, Gu Meng still kept her temper.
This day, after class, he had just returned to the office when a courier came to the door with a bouquet of roses wider than the door frame.
The office was full of little girls, seeing this posture, they all got excited, screamed piercingly, and excitedly guessed whose flowers it was for.
As a result, the courier boy poked his head out from behind the bouquet with difficulty, and shouted, "Is Gu Meng there?"
Everyone stopped screaming in an instant, and all stared at Gu Meng.
Gu Meng couldn't lift her head in embarrassment.
Because the flower plug didn't fit into the door frame, Gu Meng had no choice but to go out to sign for it.
After signing for the receipt, Gu Meng temporarily left the 999 roses at the door.
The envelope among the bouquets caught his attention.
Gu Meng picked up the envelope and already guessed that the person who sent the flowers was Enjin.
Hearing from Bo Ye, Enjin is living a happy and rich life now.
Instead of being moved, Gu Meng felt a little upset because En Jin was not as poor as he expected, begging himself to take him back.
see.
While opening the letter, Gu Meng muttered to herself.
He has developed since he left me, and he must be happy to leave now.
After Gu Meng took it apart, she just took out half of the jammed paper from inside, when she saw the words written in strong and powerful characters above——
[I think
I can see you every morning]
It's as lyrical as a little poem.
Gu Meng looked at the card, pursed her lips slightly, and most of the depression in her heart dissipated.
see you every morning...
Through just two lines, Gu Meng knew that En Jin also wanted to stay by his side.
He sighed, and planned to call Enjin later and have a good talk.
Gu Meng pulled out the whole card from the envelope, only to find that there was a line of words on the back——
[Wake up in a big bed of 500 square meters.]
Gu Meng: "..."
In addition, the most corner position of the card is followed by a paragraph of words.
[Ps: I will go home when I get rich.]
your sister!
Apparently, this brat wasn't thinking about him, but about getting rich.
Gu Meng's anger rose from her heart, she couldn't control herself and crumpled the card into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth.
The little girls who were climbing on the door frame were stunned: "Teacher Gu..."
Gu Meng walked back, waved her hands nonchalantly, because she was chewing on the ball of paper, she slurred her speech, "Do you want roses? If you like them, share them."
The little girls looked at each other, then cheered and ran to the corridor to share the roses.
Gu Meng sat back on his seat, choking on the ball of paper, he swallowed it down.
Still not relieved, he picked up his phone, edited a text message, and sent it to Enjin's little genius phone watch.
After sending successfully, he let out a bad breath.
Look at the chat box again.
[Go outside, don't come back.]
