Even when the waiter brought the rice bowl she ordered, she didn't even notice.
Gu Ziyi picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat. It didn't seem to taste very good.
She started talking to herself: "Gu Ziyi, there is nothing wrong with your mind. What's going on with you now? You should be happy that Luo Lian finally gave up. That would be the best."
She talks to herself.
Talked for a while.
Fortunately, there was no one around her, otherwise she might have attracted onlookers.
After scolding myself, my heart felt relieved and my head became clear. Gu Ziyi lowered her head to eat, and she was really full. Then I checked out and drove home.
When Gu Ziyi arrived on the fifth floor, Grandma Fan was holding a garbage bag and was about to empty it. Gu Ziyi reached out to take it and threw the garbage bag into the trash can for her.
"Why are you taking out the trash? Shouldn't the nanny be here at this time?" Gu Ziyi asked.
Grandma Fan's nanny only came for half a day, it was Grandma Fan's request. Here during the day, not at night. The nanny makes breakfast and lunch, takes out the trash, and cleans the house. Logically speaking, Grandma Fan should not be the one to take out the garbage herself.
Grandma Fan's legs and feet have never been very good. She held on to the wall and said, "Xiaojuan has something to do at home. She's taking leave today. The child is sick and is in the hospital."
Gu Ziyi supported Grandma Fan and walked her to the door of 504, "Then if you need anything, just call me. Don't you have my mobile phone number? It's okay to call me if you can't come out."
We are all neighbors, so it’s okay to look out for each other.
Grandma Fan smiled at her, "Well, grandma knows."
Gu Ziyi also laughed, "You have a good rest."
"Yeah." Grandma Fan closed the door.
Gu Ziyi turned around and prepared to return to 502.
There were footsteps in his ears, and Luo Lian had already appeared in the corridor. He walked to the door of 501, lowered his head and opened the lock with the key, his expression not very good.
He didn't even say hello to Gu Ziyi, he opened the door and went in.
The door closed again.
Gu Ziyi looked at the door of 501 quietly, a little dazed. After a few seconds, she came to her senses, opened the door, and entered the house.
She changed into slippers at the door, then took the bag to the kitchen. Open the refrigerator and put everything in one by one. After finishing, she came out of the kitchen.
First I changed into home clothes, and then went into the kitchen. Take out your own flower tea from the cabinet.
I boiled a pot of hot water to make scented tea.
She picked up the handbag hanging by the door and took out the book "Under the Stars" from inside.
After the water boiled, she took the brewed scented tea and books into the balcony.
The balcony in her apartment was a special request of hers. She is not too picky about where she lives. There are two must-haves, one is a bay window and the other is a balcony.
The balcony is surrounded by glass and has a small table and wicker chairs.
The original plan was to install a small swing. The surrounding area shouldn't be so bare. Normally it should be filled with green plants, blocking the view through the glass.
But Gu Ziyi didn't stay at home for long, and if she really filled the balcony with green plants, she would have to buy flower soil and pesticides...
She doesn't have time for this.
The succulents that I bought at Xunxingmiyue Flower Shop are now kept at Gu's house, and Yiyi is helping to raise them. Of course, they have to be raised for a few years. Because Gu Ziyi didn't plan to raise it herself.
Gu Ziyi put the lid of the cup aside and dried the scented tea. Then I opened the music player on my phone and selected a playlist that was all pure music. She leaned back on the wicker chair, opened the book "Under the Stars", and read it carefully.
—
Although Luo Lian agreed to Pei Jing, he was not willing to take the initiative to contact Pei Yuan. He himself despises his own despicableness. I had clearly refused before, but now I agreed.
Pei Yuan probably had to ridicule him.
Luo Lian went to meet a big client at noon, and then received a call from Pei Yuan while driving back to the company.
Pei Yuan said she was drunk and asked Luo Lian to pick her up.
Luo Lian thought for a while and went anyway.
Luo Lian found Pei Yuan in the hotel private room. There were quite a few people there, both men and women. It seemed like it was a class reunion or something. He took Pei Yuan away and sent her home.
Pei Yuan really felt uncomfortable after drinking. She wanted to vomit but couldn't.
My mouth tastes like alcohol and I can't stand it. She started to do it and insisted on drinking water.
He happened to arrive near Luo Lian's community, and he remembered that there was a convenience store here. He stopped the car and bought a bottle of mineral water for Pei Yuan.
When he came out of the convenience store, he saw Pei Yuan standing there leaning on her face, looking very uncomfortable.
"Water." Luo Lian reached out and handed over the water. "Drink a little."
Pei Yuan took it, but her hands were too weak to unscrew the bottle cap. The more this happened, the angrier he became, and his emotions quickly surfaced.
Luo Lian reached out to grab the water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and handed it to her again, "Take a sip first, and I'll take you home."
Pei Yuan's eyes were a little hazy, but she obeyed, took a sip of water, and screwed the bottle cap on.
"Get in the car." Luo Lian said.
The two people got in the car again.
Luo Lian sent Pei Yuan home and met Pei Yuan's mother Zhang Siwan.
Zhang Siwan is Pei Yuan's mother, and in terms of personality... Pei Yuan is more or less influenced by her. "Luo Lian, you are Yuanyuan's boyfriend, so you should take more care of her. You also know how much Yuanyuan likes you, right?"
Luo Lian pursed her lips and looked at the dizzy Pei Yuan. "Um."
Zhang Siwan asked the nanny to help Pei Yuan in, and then said to Luo Lian: "Yuan Yuan refused to eat or drink, cried and made trouble for you. I have never seen her like anyone so much. I also know that you may be I don’t like Yuanyuan. But you have to rely on our Pei family, right? Her father and I only have one child, Yuanyuan, and in the future, the entire Pei family will be Yuanyuan’s dowry. "
Luo Lian wanted to say that he actually didn't want money.
"If you are good to Yuanyuan, our family will not treat you badly." Zhang Siwan is the kind of aloof person who looks down on anyone. Talking to Luo Lian at this moment also has a condescending tone.
Luo Lian raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Siwan: "I will try my best to be nice to her."
During the period when he had to be bound to Pei Yuan, he would try his best to be nice to Pei Yuan. After all, he is using Pei Yuan, so he will try to reduce the damage to Pei Yuan as much as possible.
Zhang Siwan smiled with satisfaction: "As long as you and Yuanyuan are fine, everything will be easy to talk about."
Luo Lian tugged at her lips but couldn't help laughing.
He drove back to the community, and on the way, various recent events kept popping up in his mind. The scene when he promised Pei Jing that day is still vivid in my mind.
"You are so disgusting, Luo Lian." He looked up at himself in the rearview mirror, pulled his lips, and showed an extremely sarcastic smile.
mocking himself.
Disregarding himself.
Disgusting himself.
