Together Forever

Chapter 67: Fan Wai (I owe you goodbye)

Views:

He returned to Philadelphia in the winter of the year he separated from Tong Yan.

Originally because of visa issues, I left the country to live for seven days and dropped in for a post-operation physical examination. Unexpectedly, after the inspection, a new project came soon. Hedge fund investment is a joint project between Philadelphia and the China office.

Grandpa's health gradually improved, and it seemed that there was no reason to go back. Gu Pingsheng finally decided to extend the seven-day departure indefinitely and stay.

At Christmas, Luo Zihao and the ordinary come here as a guest.

Luo Zihao arrived early, but because Ordinary went to see a friend first, it was already Christmas Eve here. Outside was a strong and warm holiday atmosphere, but when the door was opened, only two big men were sitting opposite each other, typing and watching the computer.

"Today is Christmas?" Ordinary felt that he had fallen into another time and space.

Luo Zihao sighed: "Merry Christmas, I can finally have a living person talking to me."

Ordinary can't help but tolerate it.

If Gu Pingsheng wants to ignore someone, it is too easy. As long as he looks away, his world belongs to his own. No one can bother at all.

Ordinary, no matter where they go, they always want to spend Christmas with the faithful and celebrate Mass.

Luo Zihao was too lonely. He went to experience a church holiday together. When the two returned, it was already the next morning. Gu Ping was cooking milk in the kitchen. In the quiet kitchen, there was no other sound except the sound of cooking.

Suddenly a kraft paper bag blocked his sight. He looked up and saw Gu Pingfan and said, "I've done everything for you."

He opened the kraft paper bag, took out all the documents, and found that a part was still missing: "It seems that the alimony part is missing."

Gu Pingfan took out the bread from the refrigerator, cut two slices, and bit into his mouth: "My barrister, don't forget that I am your senior sister, how can I not even handle this? The problem is your family My wife is also from the law department. I really look at it word by word, for fear of taking advantage of you, and I will give it to you before the Lunar New Year. I have never represented this kind of thing before, and the two divorced, but I was afraid that the other party would suffer. ."

He lowered his head again and again, looking down one by one.

The kitchen is really too clean. Ordinary is not a person who can cook, but he still feels a little lonely and desolate when he looks at it. She leaned against the refrigerator door, suddenly pursing her lips to look at him.

Gu Pingsheng noticed her gaze and tilted his head slightly, motioning her to speak out.

"When Tong Yan broke up, what did she say to you?" She thought about her words, and finally decided to be straightforward. "I actually hinted at her. Neither you nor I would mind her leaving you first."

After a brief silence, he said: "It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't count as the truth."

Gu Pingfan raised his eyebrows, and after eating the remaining slices of bread, he suddenly said, "I remember that you were not like this when you were a kid. What do you like to eat, never let me touch. If there is no such dish, you would rather eat white rice. Don't touch the others. TK, aren't you possessive?"

With milk in the glass, he raised it to his mouth and took two sips slowly.

A bit hot.

Before drinking at home, Tong Yan's temperature was just right from the time it was cooked until it was put in front of him.

"If you try to fight for it, Tong Yan won't be so persistent." Ping Fan said.

"If she is your sister, and I have nothing to do with you, would you say these things too? Persuade your sister to accept a patient who will not fully recover."

Gu Pingfan was silent and smiled, "I am still selfish after all."

"If your future husband will pass away at any time, will you be anxious every day? Or pessimistic and desperate."

Gu Pingfan smiled: "Crow's mouth."

She did not answer positively, but it was tantamount to acquiescing to this statement.

He saw that the time was up and tried the temperature of the milk.

Still wrong.

She doesn't know what kind of patience is needed to make such small things perfect every day.

There are still some things, he didn't say any more.

Tong Yan always deliberately concealed it and did not want anyone to know the true state of her family. Even the ordinary, even her best friend Shen Yao, only knew that her parents were divorced, but did not know how disappointing it was.

He remembered that before he was twenty-three years old, what was difficult to express was the humiliation brought by this kind of close relatives.

Although I love my mother deeply, but also because of her nostalgia for married husbands, and because of her identity as an illegitimate child, she can only live behind the sun. The emotion that has tortured him for 23 years is also repeated in Tong Yan, the emotion that cannot be abandoned to his relatives, but is deeply inferior.

At the age of twenty, her xinxing is not yet fully mature.

But because he loves a person named Gu Pingsheng, he has to endure far more than he used to be.

The child's words that first touched her were a little girl wearing a royal blue evening dress, standing under a chasing light, winking at the accompanist, and singing affectionately. In the last impression, she has already begun to learn everything. She often takes her pulse and heartbeat seriously, always knowing where she is and whether she is safe.

Too many times, she just kept her eyes red and smiled at herself.

After Christmas, it will soon be the New Year.

Because of this year's grandpa's serious illness, he specifically asked him to return to China during the Lunar New Year.

On the night of New Year's Eve, all the children in the family ran out to watch firecrackers. Once a person is over 30 years old, he will feel that time is fast. He even remembers how Tong Yan lied in his arms and acted like a baby at this time last year. He said that he would come to see his grandpa the next day. It's how you laugh regardless of your image.

But Huanhuanxixi came, but didn't even see the face of the elders.

Gu Pingsheng seemed to be particularly popular with the children at home. After midnight, those little bullies had enough fun outside. One or two of them could not take off their down jackets, so they squeezed around him and asked questions.

"Uncle, fingers crossed," the little girl, overlapping the index and middle fingers of her right hand, made a gesture of prayer, "Am I doing it right?"

Gu Pingsheng couldn't help but laugh: "Auntie taught you?"

"No," the little niece said triumphantly, "I was in my father's car yesterday, and an older sister taught her on the radio. She said that someone had taught her that if she was afraid of failing the physics exam, she would do fingers crossed and pray for good luck."

Perhaps it was too similar to him, he actually thought of Tong Yan.

The little niece stretched out her hands, folded them together, and said seriously: "Grandpa wants to live a long and healthy life, and my uncle also wants to live a long and healthy life."

Such a short conversation, he would still remember when he returned to Philadelphia.

At the end of the video conference, when all the lawyers were packing up the documents, he suddenly said in Chinese to several project assistants in the China office: "I need a document."

In the video, all the people who had fought with him, immediately grasped the spirit and took pen and paper records.

"Last year's Lunar New Year, the exact date was the twenty-ninth lunar calendar. The recordings of evening programs by all radio stations in Beijing should be from five o'clock to 11 o'clock."

The other party wrote it down, no doubt there was it. After thinking of his specialness, he immediately said: "We will prepare the text format."

He said, "Okay," he stopped and said, "Send the voice file to me, too."

After receiving something from the China office in the evening, he looked through all the documents and finally found the familiar words. Although it was a complete written record, he confirmed that it was Tong Yan between the lines.

It's an evening show on Traffic Channel, with a very plain name: I'll be with you.

Two moderators, and Tong Yan is one of the "internship moderators."

She didn't talk a lot throughout the show, but when the show was about to end, she received a call from a senior high school candidate. Science candidates are always anxious about their physical performance.

It was supposed to be a high-sounding comfort and encouragement, but she just took out her failure experience in physics and told the small audience in the third year that there is no test to be afraid of. People like her who have retaken physics four times in college are still going well. Get a job and sit here as a radio host.

Gu Pingsheng couldn't help laughing. Her experience of re-study of college physics is really deep in memory.

Looking at the lines of text, I can even imagine her expression and movements when she speaks. The person who did the text entry was very responsible, and even recorded the "internship host in a small laugh".

"Fingers crossed, I wish you a smooth pass."

In the end, she said that someone once taught her to make this gesture before her last physics exam.

Put your middle finger on your index finger, overlap them, and pray for luck.

He looked at it for a long time, and finally got up to move his body.

At that time she went back to school for the final exam.

On the way to the airport, she was always fidgeting, rubbing his face lightly against his shoulder, and when he finally couldn't help but bowed his head, she asked him entangledly: "If I can't get any more physical, I won't be able to graduate, what should I do?"

"The simulated test paper I did last night was 86 points. You are just having a psychological problem." He held her hand, put her middle finger on the index finger, and taught her to make prayer gestures. "Be a fingers crossed before the test," It will pass smoothly."

Tong Yan said with a loud voice, stretched out two hands, folded them together, and said seriously:

"Fingers crossed, passed physics, graduated successfully, and got married."
