Qin Guanglin couldn't laugh anymore.
The mood that had just been excited cooled instantly.
"Why don't I know anything about it?"
He might as well lower his head and say nothing, she knew it was wrong, but since she asked, she didn't want to hide it from him.
"Why?" Qin Guanglin sat up straight and looked at her, and asked again.
"..."
"Can't you discuss it with me first?... I work overtime every day, thinking about how to make more money, and you donated 80,000 yuan without saying a word—OK, you have the right to dispose of your manuscript fee, but the two of us now..."
"sorry."
"..."
Qin Guanglin pursed his lips, turned his head and took a deep breath, lay back on the bed with his back facing her, looked at the desk and stopped making any noise.
He is angry.
It's not that she donated 80,000 yuan.
It was because she had been working hard to plan for the future of the two of them, and when she was desperately trying to make money, she didn't think about it at all, she just did this kind of thing so casually, without even saying a word—this matter itself is no longer What matters is the meaning it represents.
He has always thought about two people, and he has never taken himself out. Every time he has a plan, it is how the two of them will be, and the future will always be the same as the two of them, always putting "us" in the The first one.
She wasn't, she wasn't thinking about it at all.
Qin Guanglin was suddenly depressed.
Although he has never thought about He Wu's salary, he just thought that she can support himself and leave everything else to him, but he has already earned 80,000 yuan, but he donated it without even saying a word.
This made his efforts all the time, regarding the future plans of the two of them, become like a joke.
Feeling the warm body behind him leaning over to hug him, he remained motionless, and closed his eyes after a moment of silence.
"Tell me, how many things are you hiding from me?"
"sorry… "
"I asked you how many things you kept from me."
"..."
"..."
"I'm a little tired, please let me be quiet for a while." Qin Guanglin put his arms under his head with a tired face, without turning around, he pushed aside her hands and moved to the side.
Strictly speaking, why not? The two are just talking about friends now, and they have the right to control their own money.
It's like he stuffed a big red envelope for his cousin.
But he told He Wu the night he came back from Hecheng, and he didn't hide anything.
Qin Guanglin suddenly felt very tired.
Chen Rui's New Year's plan has already started, and the number of unfamiliar faces in the company is increasing day by day. The number of people has exceeded the time when the company had the largest number of people, but the business has not caught up - so his salary now cannot be compared with that of years ago.
If the year-end bonus is not included, it will take almost half a year to save 80,000 yuan.
Half a year, not very long - but it's boring now.
"… I went to cook."
He Wu tried to hug him but was pushed away, silent for a while, got up from the bed to find clothes to put on, walked over him and got out of bed, stood at the head of the bed to see his eyes closed and still, leaned over and kissed him before going out to the living room.
The sound of footsteps came outside, Qin Guanglin opened his eyes and looked at the door, quietly listening to the movement outside.
Soon, there was the sound of the collision of pots and bowls, and then the sound of the collision of the kitchen knife and the chopping board, as in the past, skillful, fast and rhythmic.
After more than half an hour.
"Have a meal."
Why not the voice came from the living room, and then the person was standing at the door. Seeing that Qin Guanglin was still lying on the bed, he paused and said, "How about... I'll bring it in for you."
"..."
Seeing He Wu's cautious look, Qin Guanglin was stunned for a moment, suddenly felt distressed, turned his head to find his clothes, and said, "No, I'll come right away."
After putting on everything, he sighed a long time, sat in front of the table in the living room, looked at the table of simple home-cooked dishes, and looked at what's wrong, picked up the bowl and started to eat.
"I want to know what you think."
"I didn't think about it that much at the time, just thinking... thinking..."
"What are you thinking about?"
"… sorry."
"Don't say I'm sorry!" Qin Guanglin became irritated fiercely, "You are right! Spend your money as you like! What is there to be sorry for!"
"..."
Why not bite her chopsticks and lower her head, she really didn't think too much about it at the time, she just thought that the money shouldn't come, so she donated it if she donated it, as a good fortune.
This book is just a knot in her heart, and it shouldn't have been written at this time.
"What's wrong with you spending your money? I just want to know if you ever think about the word 'we'?! Ever think about the future of the two of us?!"
"... What do you think?" He Wu raised his face and looked at him, "Do you think I've thought about it?"
"..."
Qin Guanglin's words stuck in his mouth, isn't the familiar little face in front of him the one who said he wanted to live a normal life with him
"I promise, there will be no next time. I will discuss things with you, okay? - I really didn't think too much about it at the time. I will earn it back. Don't be angry."
He Wu's words were gentle and soft, Qin Guanglin ate with his head down and did not speak.
"Look at my book signing. When the third volume comes out, the first and second volumes will also be reprinted. By then, the sales will be even higher than now. There will be a fourth volume, and a fifth volume..."
"I don't think I can see through you." Qin Guanglin interrupted her sullenly.
"Huh?" He Wu was stunned.
"From the beginning to the present, you have always been... a little weird. I think you have kept a lot of things from me."
Qin Guanglin looked down at the tip of the chopsticks, didn't continue eating, and didn't look up at her, and said slowly: "In Hecheng, you refused the 200,000 without blinking an eye. I earned it myself, and you almost quarreled with me. When you earned that car, you weren’t too excited. You donated your own 80,000 yuan as soon as you said you would donate it... You are just a college student who just graduated, and you are not a rich second generation... Will anyone have a grudge against money? And you Those medicines—what are you hiding from me?"
"I… "
"Also." Qin Guanglin raised his eyes and interrupted her, "Your father said that you have never cooked at home, even a noodle can be overcooked..." He looked down at the dishes on the table, suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sighed The tone continued: "You still want me to leave the job, you don't want me to draw comics... You can explain all of these, one by one, but..."
Qin Guanglin couldn't continue, he didn't know what to say.
Not only these, but also some other seemingly normal places, which can't be faulted, but when everything is put together, it seems abnormal.
All of these can be explained, can they be explained clearly
One or two is a coincidence, and so many unusual combinations can hardly be called a coincidence.
He couldn't figure it out.
He might as well be silent for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "I learned to cook in college, they don't know..."
"During dinner at Zhongnan Mountain, you said that you cooked a table of light vegetarian dishes for your dad, but he refused to eat them, and then got up in the middle of the night to cook a pot of hot and sour noodles." Qin Guanglin said calmly.
"..."
"who are you?"
"... My name is He Wu." He Wu lowered his head, "I am your wife."
