Heart suddenly heavy.
The throbbing hurts as the pacing gets more and more dull.
Gui Xiao didn't dare to look closely at the little boy's eyebrows: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Auntie, just turn right when you go out to the bathroom, go down the stairs, between the fourth and fifth floors." After speaking, the little boy got up from his seat and pulled out the seats beside the table obediently: "Uncle, Auntie, please. Sit down, come to Erlianhot is our guest... "
Everyone laughed and praised the little boy's voice, and was locked in the door behind him.
Gui Xiao was stunned outside the door. Seeing someone pushing half a roast lamb by her side, accompanied by the strong aroma of roast meat, she hurriedly gave way and stepped back.
Frustrated firmly, can't fall down.
Afraid of being seen that something was wrong with him, he simply walked to the end of the corridor as the little boy had just described, turned right, went down a few steps, and went to the corner on the fourth and fifth floors to find the bathroom.
Until, standing outside the door, Gui Xiao stared blankly at the "Male" sign on the bathroom and was stunned for a while.
Slowly, I regained some sanity.
Eleven years ago, he left Beijing, and the two broke up ten years ago. This child, seven or eight years old, is also very reasonable.
All are reasonable.
So Gui Xiao, what else do you want to do with him
"What are you looking at?" A voice came from behind.
Gui Xiao was shocked.
The aluminum glass door on the right side was pulled open from the outside. Lu Yanchen leaned against the door with half of the cigarette in his hand and looked at her with a squinted eye: "The woman is downstairs."
She said "oh" and turned around.
"Come back," Lu Yanchen said behind him, "I'll take you there after I finish smoking."
"No." She continued walking.
"I told you to come back, do you hear me?" Lu Yanchen's voice sank.
Gui Xiao stopped.
Didn't I dump you in the first place? You already have children, what are you doing with the attitude I owe you
Gui Xiao gritted his teeth and turned around: "I didn't hear you."
Lu Yanchen pursed his lips and looked at her.
He lowered his head and took a cigarette again, and spit out an unformed smoke ring: "I didn't hear, what are you doing back?"
…
"The girl doesn't want to talk to you, can't you?" Behind Lu Yanchen, a tough man in his early thirties snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, "Don't mind, our Lu team, ah no, it's the former squadron captain. Just a few days after I was discharged from the army, I was so busy that I was in a panic, yin and yang weird."
Gui Xiao looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you say—" This year
Lu Yanchen smiled and said, "Just finished, the following procedures have not yet been completed, and now there is one unemployed vagabond. What? Do you think it is not worthwhile to invite me to dinner?"
…
The man behind him was busy smoothing things out: "Girl, don't mind, our road team is very choking."
Of course Gui Xiao knew who he was.
According to his cousin's words, Lu Yanchen is very proud, too smart, and he sees it too clearly. Whoever has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart knows exactly what. The closer the person is, the less he will let you pretend.
At that time, the two had known each other for more than a year, and Gui Xiao liked him so much that he liked to engrave his name on his arm, but he still pretended to be reserved. Every Wednesday and Friday, the chorus rehearsal or music class would go to the third year classroom, pretending Go to rehearsal, go to class.
By the way, I can glance at him.
He is a repeater, and he is in the last row of the classroom. After class, he likes to lean his chair against the wall and chat with a few boys.
She passed by, and often a small piece of chalk was thrown out. She pretended to be frightened, and looked at him reservedly, and found that he continued to play with the remaining chalk as if nothing was wrong... Later, we got together and returned home. Xiao pretended to be innocent and asked him: "Why did you always like to throw away my chalk tips? Did you have a crush on me?"
He would narrow his eyes slightly, look at her, and not answer.
When pressed again, he would smile at her: "You are always dangling in front of my eyes, don't you just wait for me to take care of you?"
She was pierced, turned her head and left, and was pulled back by his upper arm. Although he was still struggling, he thought happily that he would be able to wait for a nice word, but he didn't expect him to laugh lowly again: "Isn't this just waiting for me to pull you back?"
…
The man behind him continued to add: "Actually, the road team has not decided whether to go back to Beijing or not. Hesitating, it is not considered a homeless person, at most short-term unemployment."
"Not necessarily going back." Lu Yanchen extinguished the cigarette butt on the snow on the windowsill. Those dark eyes were like black pebbles soaked in the viewing pool, with water light, but they were cold and emotionless.
Gui Xiao watched a little light on the snow disappear, and let himself work hard to be an indifferent and generous ex-girlfriend.
"It will always be troublesome to bring your wife and children back, and it is also troublesome to get a household registration. If you need help, you can come to me."
Quiet.
Lu Yanchen and the man behind him both had strange expressions.
Lu Yanchen was silent for a long time, then smiled at the man beside him: "Your son has done something wrong again."
Gui Xiao was stunned.
"Isn't that true? That kid is afraid of you, so he doesn't dare to hurt you," Qin Mingyu sneered. "It's also possible that he has become timid recently."
A very tough man, he blushed when he mentioned his son: "My son, I know that our squadron is all bachelors, and he likes to do bad things on blind dates, even if the brothers in our squadron are called fathers, they can't run away. It's a girl, I'm sorry, Miss Gui Xiao."
turn out to be…
"So it's not your child," Gui Xiao pretended to look at the snow scene, "It's a pity, he's so cute."
Lu Yanchen put his hand in his trouser pocket and remained silent.
"He? Cute?" The boy's father smiled, "That stinky boy is so worried."
After the man finished speaking, he introduced to Gui Xiao that his name was Qin Mingyu, and he belonged to Lu Yanchen's squadron.
And his ghostly son is called Qin Xiaonan.
In a single-parent family, the children belong to the father. In order to take care of them, Qin Xiaonan lives alone in Erlianhot, renting an apartment and going to school by himself. All in all, do it all by yourself.
No wonder people are big.
The three returned to the private room, and the little boy threw himself into his father's arms: "Dad!" After shouting, he went to peek at Gui Xiao and Lu Yanchen. In this way, the people in the room are all like Gui Xiao, and after thinking about it: Yes, it's all wrong.
The kid's jokes are gone.
This meal was quite decent, except that Gui Xiao and Lu Yanchen, who were the people who made the meal, never communicated, it was perfect. During the whole meal, Lu Yanchen didn't even look at her, even Xiao Cai Ming asked, "Team Lu, you and our Gui Xiao were neighbors in the past? Alumni, or?"
"Alumni," Lu Yanchen replied, "I'm not familiar with it."
Xiao Cai was choked, hit haha, and stared stiffly at the heavy snow outside the window: "This snow in Inner Mongolia is really big, haha..."
From roasted whole lamb, to lamb offal, braised noodles, kumiss... One after another, Xiao Cai took all the orders that he could order. The bad luck of everyone who lost the car at the gas station in the afternoon was also dissipated. and body warmed up.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Mingyu really showed the nature of chatter. When talking about Lu Yanchen, he didn't stop, and even got up to toast solemnly. Yan Chen, let him return to Beijing more smoothly.
"Of course, of course," Xiao Cai immediately packed the ticket. "The grace of dripping water will be repaid by the spring. Don't say that the road team has helped so much. If we can help in the future, we will definitely help!"
The crowd agrees.
Finish the meal.
When everyone was in the elevator, Qin Mingyu suddenly asked, "The five of you came in a car?"
Xiao Cai said, "Ah, yes."
"Road team, send it off, it's not safe for five people to have a car." Qin Mingyu suggested reasonably.
Lu Yanchen pulled out the car keys with two fingers, but did not answer.
"Ah, wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Xiao Cai politely declined.
"Don't bother Auntie," Qin Xiaonan ran into the elevator, raised her head and answered cheerfully, "We are in the west, you are in the east, although it's not a good way to go, this shows the sincerity of sending guests off."
Xiao Cai smiled: "Then I'll go to the parking lot with the road team to pick up the car first, wait at the door."
The old elevator slowly descended with the sound of metal rubbing from nowhere.
Even though Xiao Cai said so, she still felt that if she and Lu Yanchen went to the parking lot, they would definitely be "frozen to death" by the road team, so she dragged Gui Xiao's arm to use it as a "lubricant".
It's a pity she didn't understand that with Gui Xiao around, Lu Yanchen would really freeze to death.
Xiao Cai's car was in the east of the parking lot, and Lu Yanchen's car was not far away.
Gui Xiao was waiting on the outside of the driveway, and Xiao Cai passed through the inside of the two cars and walked towards his car. Gui Xiaogang was distracted and wanted to find out where Lu Yanchen was in the dark, "Ah!!" he rushed out with a scream.
Gui Xiao was dumbfounded, and before he could react, several shadows had already rushed out.
The arm was pulled back by a huge force, and the black padded jacket covered her head and face almost at the same time. Gui Xiao didn't have time to stand still, and in the sudden darkness, he was pushed out and hit a car.
"Don't come out!" Lu Yanchen's voice was low.
Gui Xiao was so frightened that he tore off his clothes, choked on the snow in his mouth and nose, coughed desperately, and looked around in a panic.
It was Lu Yanchen who was pushing him, and a dozen tall men had already surrounded him.
"Lu Chen!" Gui Xiao blurted out, his whole body blood congealed.
Under the pale moonlight, he tilted his head, as if he didn't hear it, twisted a figure and threw it to the snow. The next one went up and was thrown out neatly. He didn't do anything ruthless, but those couldn't get in either. Fortunately, Qin Mingyu sprinted away when he heard the scream, and smashed one to the ground...
Gui Xiao saw that his back was numb and his legs were weak.
"Gui Xiao..." Xiao Cai was trembling with fear, and ran back from his car, except for the mud and snow on his body, he was not injured.
Gui Xiao hurriedly supported her: "Are you all right?"
"I was pushed a few times, they were trying to snatch the car..."
After the two women finished speaking, they were both panting heavily, unable to say anything else, they just stared at the dozen or so hooligans who suddenly got up, Lu Yanchen and Qin Mingyu. After all, they were facing the people of the anti-terrorist squadron. Those dozen people were not opponents at all. They were all beaten to the ground, crawling on the ground, struggling and moaning.
Gui Xiao and the other men who were with them dared to approach.
Qin Xiaonan also rushed in: "Dad, I took that uncle's phone and called the police!"
Qin Mingyu smiled: "Good job!"
Because he took off his jacket and threw it to Gui Xiao, Lu Yanchen, who was only wearing a shirt, was in the ice and snow. He picked out a few who wanted to get up, kicked him again, and tidied everyone up. Kicking dirty snow and mud.
walk back.
Gui Xiao was really frightened.
Lu Yanchen walked in front of her and stood still.
The shadow of his hand flashed in front of Gui Xiao's eyes, and he subconsciously avoided it. Lu Yanchen paused, and then flicked off the dirty snow on her bangs: "Aren't you afraid?"
He just covered her face with his coat, so as not to scare her.
Unexpectedly, Gui Xiao did not understand the spirit at all, but instead dragged him down and watched the whole process.
"No," Gui Xiao noticed that his voice was too trembling, and turned his face away, "...what are you afraid of?"
