Together Forever

Chapter 58: During that time (third quarter)

Views:

Pingfan’s mother patted her shoulder: "It’s okay, it’s okay."

She didn't even know what was going on, so why did she need to be comforted? It's just a hunch that something bad happened upstairs.

This kind of conjecture was quickly applied. When she heard the footsteps of someone coming downstairs, her and ordinary mother raised her head at the same time, and Gu Pingsheng walked down the stairs alone. Obviously, there was a hasty sticker on her forehead. gauze.

White gauze, taped with white tape.

Bai is shocking.

She was almost stupid there, watching him walk down, walk over, and stop in front of her: "Yanyan, let's go home."

Tong Yan looked into his eyes, suddenly a little speechless.

In the end, he just nodded, without asking any questions, and followed him to the gate. Just now when Gu Pingsheng came down the stairs, the light was pale and cold, reminding her of seeing him a long time ago. The very young boy was sitting on the floor against the white wall, with an arm on his knees. Holding thin white paper.

That was how it felt back then.

He looked at his eyes, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. Only he and himself are the same.

When they came, they were in an ordinary car, and two of them wanted to stop and rent them on the road. Taxis in Beijing are already difficult to call, especially on the morning of the first day of the new year. Fortunately, Tong Yan is very familiar with the subway lines from here to home. He took his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Gu, Doctor Gu, Gu Lawyer, shall we go on the subway? I remember you haven't taken it yet."

Gu Ping sighed lightly and smiled, "Okay."

Tong Yan smiled warmly, and held his hand tightly as he walked off the subway. Somehow, the heart began to jump faster, as if to release the shock just now, dozens of steps came down, and it was already weak.

From home to work, you only need to take the bus. So apart from that late night, she took the subway to find him, and she hadn't taken the subway seriously for many years.

There are not too many people on non-working days.

There were even some vacancies in the car they were sitting in.

The most funny thing is that the glass on one of the doors is broken and I don't know why it is smashed up by newspapers. The subway is too fast, and I can only hear the sound of rattling, floating around in my ears. The two seats were on the far right side of the carriage. She leaned against the carriage wall and looked at him from time to time.

Gu Pingsheng noticed her gaze: "I had some discomfort with Grandpa just now. He has not been in good spirits for the past two years, and his temper is a little big." He finally pointed to his forehead and said with a helpless smile, "Fortunately there is this at home. This kind of standing thing, but fortunately there are ordinary doctors who have not graduated."

His tone is very relaxed, an understatement.

It was almost the same as Tong Yan had guessed. She looked at him in silence and said after a while: "Is it because of me? On the way here just now, it has been so long that your grandfather was sick. You never mentioned it. When you were teaching in Shanghai, you often said that there was something at home because of grandpa?"

She counted the time, these times are all coincident, her family's affairs, his affairs, and his family's affairs. One after another...

"Does he not like me?" Tong Yan asked again.

It just so happened that the subway stopped and it was a transfer station, and many people came in large packages.

No matter how noisy the environment is, he just stayed in his own silence and looked at her intently: "Yanyan, this matter has no direct contact with you. It is because of my mother’s affairs, grandpa’s feelings for the teacher-student relationship, which is very repulsive. , Sometimes it's a bit extreme." All the answers are not too unexpected.

Except for this wound on his forehead.

Fortunately, their grandmother got up early and went to Tianjin together because they were going on vacation.

Will not return home, causing another panic.

Perhaps because he used to be a doctor, Gu Pingsheng actually prepared a simple medicine kit at home. She followed his instructions and treated him step by step. It sounds shocking, the wound is not very deep, but the purple red blood hole still makes her look dull and painful, and lowered her head to ask him: "Should I go to break the cold shot?"

"No need," he laughed, "The things that hit me are very clean, and the ones I deal with are also very clean."

She squashed her mouth and carefully taped him white gauze: "Beauty, you have a shaky look, but believe me, no matter what beauty you look like, I will not despise you."

After she finished speaking, she leaned forward and gently kissed the layer of gauze on his forehead.

She changed her posture and sat down. The two of them were facing each other, with their knees crossed. You look at me and I look at you. In the middle is the unclosed medicine cabinet.

Because he was going to see his grandfather today, Tong Yan dressed up specially, wearing a delicate blue headband, with long hair scattered on his shoulders, making his face even smaller. She's white and skinny, she never eats fat.

"Yanyan, you are beautiful today." He said slowly.

She smiled and curled her eyes: "The people who can be the school host, but they are all beautiful embryos. I just have been by your side, temporarily obscured."

He stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead with his fingers: "So, my daughter should be very beautiful in the future."

Tong Yan nodded shamelessly.

But immediately looked at him with a bit of disappointment and said: "Why is there no baby for so long..." After all, she is not very old, and she still feels embarrassed when she talks about it, so she spit out her tongue and can't continue. NS.

"It's me." He said frankly.

Tong Yan's mouth widened and stared at him: "Can't you give birth to children with SARS sequelae?"

He was startled, and suddenly he laughed: "Don't think about it, I just don't want you to bear this kind of pressure and have been taking measures," Tong Yan hadn't recovered yet, he weighed on his head, and he stretched out his hand and patted her. "Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, if Grandpa knew that you were pregnant first when you were unmarried today, I would probably not see us again."

Tong Yan was relieved, and the topic returned to today’s unpleasant matter. She put her elbow on the knee of one leg and supported her chin to look at him: "It’s okay, so many things have passed, it’s just another one. "It's just a matter," she told him repeatedly what he had said, "you said that these things need to be resolved, it's just a matter of time."

He laughed: "You are indeed a good student."

"Not only a good student," she closed the lid of the medicine box, put her hand on it, and leaned forward to kiss his lips. "When I covered your wound just now, I found that I have the potential to be a nurse. So, you are Gu Doctor, I’m Nurse Tong, you’re Teacher Gu, and I’m classmate Tong Yan. Have you noticed that these are all one-to-one terms?"

Gu Ping was still a little confused at the beginning, but looking at her expressions and movements, she gradually understood where the so-called "one-to-one noun" came from. From surprise to helplessness, she laughed blankly: "It seems that I want to treat you again. I know, Mrs. Gu."

"It's not me, it's Shen Yao. She especially likes to study the island country's love | sex movies... and then tell me." Tong Yan originally wanted to tease him, but seeing his complex expressions, she also found that she said too much. A little bit, "I swear I really haven't seen it..."

The ticket to Saipan is night flight.

The original plan was to have dinner at Gu Pingsheng’s grandfather’s house on the first day of the new year, and then rushed to the airport with his luggage, which was about the same time. Now that something like this happened, the whole day was empty on the first day of the new year. Tong Yan changed all the curtains and bed sheets at home to new ones, and began to wash clothes non-stop.

It seems to be so busy that she can stop thinking about this morning.

Standing next to the washing machine doing nothing, she took out all the clothes that the two people didn't wear, and soaked them in the basin. After such a toss, a large bottle of laundry detergent was used up.

Gu Pingsheng's mobile phone information has never been broken. She probably guessed that Ordinary was talking to him about home affairs. While thinking about it, Gu Pingsheng suddenly walked to the door and handed her the phone: "Pingfan wants to wish you a happy Chinese New Year."

Tong Yan dried his hands and took it.

"Words?"

"Um."

"Everyone did not expect what happened today. My grandfather was indeed hurt too deeply because of his sister-in-law's affairs. It just so happens that you and TK were once teachers and students, and it is inevitable that you would not be able to accept this incident. I thought. Let him tell a lie, but you and TK have been together for so long, you should know that he is sometimes stubborn and annoying," Gu Pingfan laughed helplessly, "but it's okay, these are not big problems, I will be slow Slowly do ideological work for the elderly."

"Ok, I know."

"Yanyan, I like you very much, really. I have been very close to TK since I was a child. You know that the first time I saw him was when he returned to China for the first time, when he was five years old. At that time, he spoke very well in Mandarin. No, just don’t speak Beijing dialect. He is so good-looking. The children in our family don’t like him. But by coincidence, I am learning English, so I especially like to be with him, a fake American..."

She had never heard ordinary said this before, and she was a little surprised.

Gu Pingsheng leaned on the door and watched her listen to the phone without speaking. She heard the washing machine ring suddenly and pointed to the other side. He quickly walked over, followed her gesture, unskilledly opened the lid, and took out the washed curtains.

"Sometimes he is particularly annoying. As long as it is something he likes, he will never be touched by others, and he will never share it. But when he gets in touch with more slowly, he finds that he can accept it because he likes very few things, such as He likes to eat broccoli, and he will only eat rice and this same dish for the whole meal. As long as you avoid this and let you eat it, he will eat his broccoli without looking at you."

Tong Yan couldn't help laughing.

From ordinary words, she can imagine that Gu Ping must have been a cute child when he was a child.

"So if he loves you so much, you will be very happy."

Tong Yan said: "Are you as happy as broccoli?"

Ordinary also laughed: "Absolutely happier than broccoli."

Gu Pingsheng didn't know why she laughed. Looking at her funny, Tong Yan immediately pointed to the balcony and motioned him to hang the curtains. When he left the bathroom, he asked Ping Fan, "Is it really because of his mother that he refuses to wear hearing aids?"

The phone fell silent unexpectedly.

After a while, Ping Fan finally replied: "He loves his mother so much, so he may not forgive himself for this whole life. I only heard him say this at my aunt’s funeral. It happened that day when he quarreled with my sister-in-law and said something very hurtful, my sister-in-law committed suicide."

Tong Yan was stunned.

"My sister-in-law has a very serious mental illness. She often hysterically says she wants to commit suicide. In fact, every time she bluffs, just to make people care about her. That day TK quarreled and heard her in the room next to her bedroom. I didn’t even watch the news. I always thought it was another farce, but I didn’t expect it to really come true."

So he doesn’t want to hear any more voices, any voices in this world...

Ping Fan said something later to comfort her. However, Tong Yan only thought about the suicide of his mother, the complete truth, and finally understood why a person like him would take care of his own affairs on the day he first met, and he could reach out and beat a little girl who had nothing to do with him...

Wasn't he extremely desperate at that time, and regarded himself as him.

She put the phone by the sink, a little distracted, but continued to stuff the dirty sheets into the roller. There seemed to be some changes in light and shade in front of him. Looking back, Gu Pingsheng didn't know how long he had been leaning against the door, so he looked at her quietly.

There was a rumbling washing sound in my ears, with a clear rhythm.

Her gaze was so entangled with him, it was impossible to separate.
