"You said you were afraid of people, but you said you were mentally ill..."
"So much blood was shed..."
"Fortunately, I blocked it with my arm. If it is cut at the key point, it is estimated to be dangerous."
"Yeah yeah… "
"… "
The unique red and blue lights of the police car were flickering, and the whole building was brightly lit. The onlookers had not dispersed outside the door. Gu Ningzi pushed through the crowd and ran up the stairs.
Blood splatters on the stairs.
After the crash that year, before completely losing consciousness, I was trapped in the driver's seat unable to move, and the touch of blood mixed with tears came out clearly.
At that time I thought... At that time, why? Gu Ningzi's mind was blank.
Breathing becomes difficult. She grabbed onto the railing, not sure which floor Chi Nuan lived on, and followed the blood trail to the sixth floor, with the doors on both sides wide open.
There was blood on the ground on the left, and Gu Ningzi walked in.
Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong were sitting on the sofa. The police were taking notes. Chi Nuan raised her red eyes and saw Gu Ningzi, who was pale under the light.
…
The door lock was completely smashed, and the madman broke into the door. Fortunately, the police arrived in time. During the fight, a policeman was injured, and the lunatic was eventually subdued.
Chi Nuan's feet were still a little soft, so he sent the police to the door, and suddenly had a face-to-face with the hostess opposite.
Chi Nuan hadn't seen her for a long time, because of the high gambling debts her husband owed, she was also tortured into misery.
Chi Nuan thought she would say something about what happened tonight, but she didn't say anything, backed into the room, and slammed the door shut.
Avoiding the blood stains, Chi Nuan walked slowly into the living room with the help of the wall, and asked Gu Ningzi, "Why did you come here..."
Xiao Wutong: "Aunt Gu called, my mother was watching the door, I picked it up, picked it up..."
Xiao Wutong was trembling visibly to the naked eye, Gu Ningzi touched the pocket of his coat, there were two chocolate candies in it, she took them out for him.
Xiao Wutong took it in the palm of his hand and looked up at Gu Ningzi: "I want to give it to my mother, my mother loves to eat it, my mother has a lot... This kind of candy wrapper is all in-"
"Little Wutong", Chi Nuan interrupted him, "It's late, you go to bed first, okay?"
Chi Nuan knew that Xiao Wutong was afraid, and stayed with him until he fell asleep before coming out of the room.
The blood on the floor was gone, Gu Ningzi sat on the sofa and flipped through Xiao Wutong's storybook.
"Thank you." Chi Nuan thanked Gu Ningzi.
"The door is broken and can't be closed." Gu Ningzi pointed to the door.
Chi Nuan had already checked it when he sent the police away: "It's useless. I'll contact you tomorrow to change the door."
Gu Ningzi closed the storybook: "When you wrote down, you said that the opposite door was forced by a debt company. Isn't this the first time this has happened?"
Chi Nuan: "It wasn't this serious before, splashing red paint, kicking the door... Tonight that person seems to have been stimulated and suddenly fell ill... Let me make you a cup of hot tea."
Chi Nuan passed by the sofa, and Gu Ningzi suddenly pulled her slender wrist. Chi Nuan's eyes slowly moved from Gu Ningzi's hand to her face.
Gu Ningzi: "Is our relationship good before?"
Chi Nuan: "…Why do you ask that?"
The temperature of Gu Ningzi's palm was a little cold: "That kind of sugar, unless I give it, others don't have it."
No wonder they can't be bought anywhere, Chi Nuan smiled and said, "Yeah, we have a good relationship, don't you remember?"
She used the most natural tone: "I'm your girlfriend."
"..." Gu Ningzi's face flashed with surprise, she let go, and then returned to her usual calmness: "I think it's better for you and Guan Luo to keep a distance."
"Okay." Chi Nuan smiled, walked into the kitchen, and took out the cup that Gu Ningzi had kept here for drinking.
With her right hand trembling, she only poured half a cup, and the countertop was full of water stains.
... I'm not lying, Gu Ningzi, I'm not kidding you.
Xiao Wutong's cry sounded.
"Mom," he said while crying, "Mom, I'm afraid."
Chi Nuan put down the cup and walked out of the kitchen, Xiao Wutong stood outside the door, tears all over her little face. He had just fallen asleep when he woke up frightened.
"The police uncle has captured the bad guy." Chi Nuan patted his shoulder and comforted him softly: "We're not afraid anymore, okay?"
Xiao Wutong sobbed and said, "But, Mom, will the bad guys come again?"
Chi Nuan didn't know how to answer his question. As long as the house opposite is still the home of the couple, the debt collection company will do everything possible to collect the debt, right
Xiao Wutong didn't dare to go back to the room to sleep, so Chi Nuan hugged him and sat on the sofa. Gu Ningzi got up and turned off the headlights, leaving only a dim night light.
"Aunt Gu, are you leaving?" Xiao Wutong straightened her back nervously, "If the door is broken, my mother will be afraid too. Aunt Gu, can you not leave today?"
"Xiao Wutong..." Chi Nuan didn't expect Xiao Wutong to make such a request, but the words had already been said, and it was too late to stop them.
"I'm not leaving." Gu Ningzi sat down on the other end of the sofa: "As long as you can fall asleep now."
Xiao Wutong immediately closed her eyes and accepted the quid pro quo of Aunt Gu's stay.
He snuggled up to Chi Nuan, smelled the familiar smell of peace of mind on her body, and listened to the occasional whisper or two from her and Aunt Gu, and gradually drowsiness came again.
"Go back and rest." Chi Nuan covered Xiao Wutong with a blanket and said softly to Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi did not answer. She put her arms up, the light was too dim, Chi Nuan couldn't see her expression.
…
Chi Nuan didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, the sky was bright and Xiao Wutong was lying beside her head, grinning at her with her missing front teeth.
Chi Nuan rubbed her eyes and didn't see Gu Ningzi.
"Aunt Gu is gone." Xiao Wutong said, "Seeing that you are asleep, we didn't wake you up."
Fortunately, today is the weekend, so I don't have to go to work. Chi Nuan looked up the contact information for the counter of the door brand, made an appointment to change the door, and before the call was finished, the staff who measured the door had arrived.
Chi Nuan: "…"
In the afternoon, the new door was installed efficiently. Chi Nuan took a photo and sent it to Gu Ningzi. It was not until the evening that Gu Ningzi replied, "Oh."
…
new week.
"My God, Nuan Nuan, you are too unlucky, right? What's the matter?—Hey, don't sing, ... Zhou Damao! I'm talking to you, don't sing to make a fuss!!" Du Min Throwing away the seeds in his hand, he rushed up to turn off Zhou Damao's microphone, and went back to chat with Chi Nuan: "I heard that debt collection companies not only use mental illness, but also people with AIDS and young people... Anyway, ordinary people walk sideways. It's no fun at all!... The man you meet is really nothing, and his wife has followed him for eight lifetimes of blood mold!"
Chi Nuan sighed.
Zhou Damao didn't have to sing, so he could only squeeze in and chat with them: "What, Chi Te, I specifically didn't invite Gu Ningzi today. You are both superiors and subordinates now, I'm afraid you're uncomfortable. Look at me, Is it very thoughtful to consider things? Will it be very happy to be the wife of someone like me?"
Du Min: "..."
Chi Nuan wanted to laugh, but held back her smile.
Du Min: "Are you annoying? What are you looking for when we talk about something?"
"..." Zhou Damao looked at her speechlessly: "I'll sing, you won't let me, and chat with you, you have to say that I'm looking for a sense of existence, you let Chi Nuan judge the rationale, is there something like you? This is not married yet, knot I don't know what to do with me when I get married."
"Who's going to marry you?" Du Min waved his arms like a fly.
Zhou Damao rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'm going out for a cigarette."
He patted his thigh and stood up and walked out of the box, Du Min said bitterly, "Smoke smoke! I know smoking! Every time I say it well, I have to give up smoking and have children after I quit smoking. A liar!"
Chi Nuan really laughed this time. While saying that she should not marry Zhou Damao, she was already thinking about quitting smoking and having children. Du Min, it turned out that she was so duplicitous.
Zhou Damao opened the box door, and Xu Dan just came in: "Look, who am I here with?"
Zhou Damao took a few steps back, the person walking behind Xu Dan showed his face, Du Min stood up from the sofa: "Awen!"
Xue Min smiled before saying a word, and looked in Du Min's direction with curved eyebrows: "Hi~"
Several people sat and chatted together. Du Min asked Xue Min how long he would stay in Yuncheng this time. Xue Min said, "My hand is injured, so I will rest for a while."
She eats by hand, and when everyone heard it, they immediately asked her what was going on.
"It's alright," she turned her palms to show them, "I didn't exert much force, I just took the opportunity to give myself a vacation."
"Alright, you see we haven't been together for so many years, you used to take us to eat and drink." Xu Dan recalled that year: "I still remember the English song you sang, what was it called? ? But you've lost me in five and three ways, hurry up, take the opportunity to sing for us again!"
"That song..." Xue Min took the microphone from Xu Dan, "I haven't sung for many years, and I forgot the words."
Du Min and Xu Dan both smiled at Xue Min, Xue Min looked at Chi Nuan, and Chi Nuan also smiled at her.
The prelude of "If you and me" sounded, Du Min said to Zhou Damao: "Awen sings very, very nicely, it makes you feel inferior."
Zhou Damao covered Du Min's mouth and pushed her back.
As soon as Xue Min opened his mouth, Xu Dan held his face intoxicated, but after singing a few words, Xue Min laughed: "I really don't remember much."
She put the microphone on the coffee table.
Chat and sing, the time will soon pass. After leaving the KTV, Zhou Damao and Du Min took Xu Dan away, and Xue Min and Chi Nuan walked to the parking lot behind.
Xue Min said to Chi Nuan, "You don't seem to have changed at all over the years."
Chi Nuan: "...Really?"
Xue Min brought the cigarette to his mouth, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly: "Yes."
After halfway around the parking lot, Chi Nuan arrived first. She stopped by the car and said goodbye to Xue Min. Xue Min's cigarette was not lit. At this time, she lowered her head and took it down: "Are you still with her?"
Chi Nuan: "Huh?"
Xue Min smiled: "Gu Ningzi."
In the KTV just now, everyone said that Chi Nuan was working as an assistant for Gu Ningzi. Xue Min didn't say anything at the time, and Chi Nuan didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly.
Xue Min: "I saw it then, you and her, you like her very much, don't you?"
Chi Nuan looked at Xue Wen and smiled.
Xue Min also smiled: "Let's go, come out and play together when you have time."
Chi Nuan: "Okay, bye."
Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong to go home, and Xiao Wutong recited ancient poems to Chi Nuan while climbing the stairs. Walking to the third floor, the residents on the third floor heard Xiao Wutong's voice and opened the door: "Xiao Chi."
"Hello uncle." Xiao Wutong politely stopped with Chi Nuan.
The resident on the third floor pointed to the top: "The house has been sold, and we can all sleep peacefully in the future, especially you, ouch! I can't even think about it, how scary that night was!?"
Chi Nuan: "Sold it?"
"I emptied everything today. The grandmother on the first floor asked. That's what she said. It's sold."
Chi Nuan: "Selling so quickly? Didn't you want to sell it before?"
"Either you're scared, or the price is good. Anyway, it's sold. Who cares, the key is that we're down to earth now, don't you think?"
"Yeah..." Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong upstairs and opened the door to enter the house. When the door was closed, she looked towards the opposite side.
The door is closed.
A worry fell to the ground, and Chi Nuan closed the door.
