Qi Xi felt that her emotions had become indescribably strange. In order to get rid of this uncontrollable reaction, she lowered her head, decided to change the subject, and thanked her sincerely by the way: "Gu Yan, thank you."
"No need." Gu Yan felt a little uncomfortable on the contrary, and said concisely, "It's good that you're fine."
"Thanks to you." Qi Xi thanked again, "I'm fine now, why don't you hurry back and finish your half-cut hair."
Gu Yan let out a "hmm" and was about to turn around and leave.
Zhao Yiran came over and hugged Qi Xi again: "Sister, I was scared to death. Fortunately, you are fine. But our house may have to be replaced. That local ruffian knows this address. If he comes out and retaliates, it's still pretty good." Dangerous, I will look for a house now, but it will take some time. Recently, it is difficult to rent a house, and it is not so fast, so we have to live in another place in the past few days. I have a cousin who lives in the house. If you talk to them nearby, you should be able to live in their house temporarily, how about you? You are a native of Rongshi, why don’t you go home and live?”
As soon as she mentioned going home, Qi Xi frowned, and her attitude was firm: "I won't go home. I moved out just to tell my dad that I can support myself. I don't want him to give me money, and I can work for myself. , if I go back now, he will only beg for forgiveness from him as a failure, and he will definitely feel that he can control my life again, and he will arrange a blind date for me again."
Zhao still worried: "Then where do you live?"
Qi Xi was still in a daze after the accident and fright just now, and he didn't have the heart to think about these things at all, so he said absent-mindedly: "I will ask the other female students later to see if anyone can take me in."
After Qi Xi finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and planned to ask a few college classmates who got along well, but before she started typing, Gu Yan, who was just about to leave by the door, stopped her.
"Stop asking."
Qi Xi looked up at Gu Yan curiously: "Why?"
"My sister has a spare room, you can stay here." Gu Yan cleared his throat, and said naturally, "She lives alone and has been on business trips, so she doesn't have many chances to stay, just now I want someone to help take care of her. The house, receive the courier, clean it a little, if you don’t mind, you can go to live temporarily until you and Zhao Yiran find a new house, anyway, it’s a short-term stay during the transition period, so you won’t be charged rent.”
Gu Yan pursed his lips: "After all, my sister is not short of money."
Qi Xi repeatedly confirmed that Gu Xuehan really didn't mind, and she was indeed looking for someone to watch over and clean the vacant house, so she couldn't ask for it: "Then I'll call Lawyer Gu and confirm my thanks..."
As a result, Gu Yan interrupted her before she finished speaking: "No, I'll call her."
After the man finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
Gu Yan walked a little further away when making the call, so Qi Xi couldn't hear what Gu Xuehan was saying on the other end of the phone, she could only hear Gu Yan's words—
It was almost as soon as Gu Yan answered the phone that he opened his mouth: "Hey, sister, don't you often live in the apartment on Chenping Road on business trips recently, and then just want to find someone to stay and take care of this apartment for you? Now Qixi just happens If something happens and I need to find a place to stay temporarily, I will let her stay with you tonight. You don’t have to rush back to receive the courier tonight. It’s okay, just find a hotel outside. That’s it, Bye."
It was the first time that Qi Xi knew that Gu Yan could talk so many words in a long string, and at his speaking speed, he didn't even give Gu Xuehan a chance to interject, and it sounded like he really didn't give Gu Xuehan a chance to speak.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi: "Oh, my sister said it's great, it just so happens that she didn't want to go home today, and she still needs someone to pick up the courier, so she welcomes you to stay tonight. She won't be living there anymore."
In such a short time, Gu Xuehan really had time to reply
Probably the doubt in Qi Xi's eyes was too obvious, Gu Yan cleared his throat, and added: "Oh, she speaks very fast, you know, the habit of being a lawyer is to race against time, for this kind of non-work calls without charge, My sister always wants to solve it in a second."
That's the case, which is understandable. Can…
"But if I remember correctly, Lawyer Gu doesn't seem to have any business travel plans recently? And doesn't she live with you? So you couldn't pack dessert back last time, because she said she was losing weight, and she couldn't control eating when she saw it. Then scold you again?"
Qi Xi's question made Gu Yan stunned for a moment, but only for a moment, and soon, the man explained firmly and naturally: "She temporarily increased her business trip schedule, maybe the information is not synchronized with you, so You don't know yet. As for her, to be precise, we live very close, but we don't live together, and she often comes to visit me."
That's right.
Qi Xi got Gu Xuehan's consent, and his mood improved: "Then thank you, Gu Yan, and also thank you, Lawyer Gu."
Qi Xi was very grateful in his heart, and decided to thank Gu Xuehan in person the next time he saw Gu Xuehan again.
**
Without further ado, Qi Xi simply packed up his daily necessities and a few clothes, and then took a taxi with Gu Yan to Gu Xuehan's vacant apartment.
Gu Yan unlocked the combination lock for Qi Xi, told her the password, and briefly introduced the facilities in Gu Xuehan's house: "Take a rest and go to bed early."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door to leave, but when he opened the door, Gu Yan called Qi Xi, his gaze drooped slightly, looking at the ground: "Oh, I forgot to say, there are two households on one ladder here, I will Live in the house next door."
Qi Xi had heard from Gu Yan that he lived close to Gu Xuehan, but he didn't expect to live so close. The two siblings live next door to each other, not only do not affect each other, but also can take care of each other, it is quite comfortable, Qi Xi couldn't help feeling that it is nice to be rich.
And at this moment, Gu Yan opened his mouth again—
"You can change the password of the combination lock by yourself, or you can change it to a password that is easier for you to remember. You can change it back before you find a new house and move out."
Qi Xi was stunned, a little surprised and inexplicable about this topic that had nothing to do with the previous topic, why did he suddenly talk about changing the password
She was a little out of state and said: "No need, I have a good memory. I remember this password, so I don't need to change it."
It's a pity that after Qi Xi finished speaking, Gu Yan looked at her implicitly with a childish and unteachable gaze.
The man sighed: "I don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid."
"?"
Gu Yan didn't say anything else, as if he was not at ease, he could only drag Qi Xi to the door: "Now you change the password yourself, I won't read it when you change it."
Because of Gu Yan's insistence, Qi Xi had to change the electronic password inexplicably.
After the change, Gu Yan seemed to relax. He glanced at Qi Xi: "I'm going to get a haircut, call me if you need something."
It's hard for Gu Yan, as a school grassroots, he has been suffering from this yin and yang head for a long time.
It wasn't until Gu Yan was sent away that Qi Xi calmed down and then looked at Gu Xuehan's house - it wasn't actually dirty, but there were a lot of debris piled up, especially the bookshelves.
But what Gu Yan said is correct, Gu Xuehan probably doesn't live in this room at all, Qi Xi just took a look around, and found that there are very few daily necessities here, and there are almost no traces of women's living here. It is Gu Xuehan's house, rather it is Gu Yan's "spare utility room" - there are a lot of Gu Yan's things piled up here, including the materials that Gu Yan used to review for the judicial examination.
It seems that Gu Yan, taking advantage of his sister's absence, expanded his "territory" to Gu Xuehan's place, and took advantage of Gu Xuehan's many places to put his books and clothes and bedding that he didn't need this season.
Since they all came here to borrow money, Qi Xi also wanted to do something, she was in shock in the afternoon, and she couldn't sleep even if she was asked to sleep immediately, so why not help Gu Xuehan tidy up the bookshelves.
Qi Xi didn't realize the deep meaning of Gu Yan asking her to change the password until she was halfway through packing.
Is he...
Qi Xi felt a little angry, she couldn't hold back, picked up the phone and called Gu Yan.
Gu Yan quickly connected the phone: "Hello? What's the matter?"
Feel free to ask yourself what happened!
Qi Xi said angrily: "Gu Yan, do you think of me as someone who knows how to repay you?"
Gu Yan on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned.
"You asked me to change the password just now because you thought you lived across the street and knew the password of this house, so I was worried that you secretly used the password to drive in in the middle of the night and intended to do something wrong?" Qi Xi felt a little wronged, "I am this Are you a kind of person? Will I think of you like this? Will I be wary of you if I can't believe your character? If so, I won't even live in Lawyer Gu's house. "
Gu Yan probably didn't expect Qi Xi to talk about this matter on the phone, and his tone was a little helpless: "Someone handed you a love letter, and you scolded me at the graduation speech, how dare I not take the initiative to avoid suspicion? "
He said in a bad mood: "Aren't your grades very good? When you scolded me, your logic was clear and witty, how could you be so clueless about other things? Can you be a little defensive towards the opposite sex?"
Qi Xi thought that what he said was definitely praising Gu Yan's character from the side, expressing his trust in Gu Yan, but he didn't expect that Gu Yan was not satisfied with the horse's leg, but rather Qixi is here after training—
"A person's understanding of others must be accurate? If you think I'm a good person, I must be a good person? I really can't do the thing of using a password to open your door and come in in the middle of the night?"
"You won't!" Qi Xi affirmed, "You definitely won't, because you have a girl you like! You like her so much, how could you have unreasonable thoughts about others? You have such good conditions, If your will is not firm, so many people are chasing you, you would have moved on long ago.”
Gu Yan was stunned, he probably didn't expect Qi Xi's answer, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then looked away and said: "Of course I wouldn't do this if I was rational, but in case I'm drunk, Didn't you think what would happen?"
Qi Xi blinked: "If the girl you like lives in this house now, you might still do something irrational when you're drunk."
"Um."
It's rare that Gu Yan affirmed Qi Xi's words in a complicated tone. After he finished "um", Qi Xi waited, but before Gu Yan could say anything, he heard the sound of the phone being hung up...
What's the matter with this man
Just when Qi Xi was wondering, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Yan's voice was mixed with it—
"Open the door, I'm outside."
Qi Xi opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Gu Yan standing outside, with a look of disgust on his face: "Stop making calls." The man was carrying something in one hand, and put the other hand in his pocket, "They're all on the opposite side." , don’t waste my phone bill.”
At this moment, Gu Yan has finished his haircut. He is wearing casual clothes, probably at the door of his house. He is very relaxed, a bit lazy and casual, and has an inherent extravagance. He doesn't look like a lawyer. He looked like a rich man, leaning against the door frame and looking at Qi Xi.
Qi Xi didn't know what was going on, she was often guilty of looking at Gu Yan recently, almost subconsciously, she looked away, because she didn't know what to answer, Qi Xi could only laugh a few times, and continued indiscriminately. The previous topic: "Why are you uglifying your image? I still believe in your character, and we are a solid revolutionary friendship and teamwork. Can you still sneak in the door in the middle of the night? So it doesn't matter if you don't change the password. Gu Yan, have some confidence in yourself."
Gu Yan walked into the room, his voice sounded a little careless and erratic: "You have more confidence in me than I do in myself."
After he finished speaking, he put the things in his hand on the table.
It was also at this time that Qi Xi realized that Gu Yan was carrying a bag of takeaway.
Gu Yan's tone was natural: "It happened to be dinner, and I packed a copy for you."
Qi Xi was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but in fact, I can just find something in the refrigerator and make a simple dish."
Gu Yan opened the refrigerator expressionlessly: "Don't even think about it, it's empty."
"..."
Qi Xi looked at the really empty refrigerator, and immediately didn't know what to say. This place really doesn't have the atmosphere of lawyer Gu's life at all, it's like a spare storage room for Gu Yan.
However, I didn't think that Qixi would feel a little hungry when she smelled the smell of takeaway food. She didn't want to be polite to Gu Yan any more, and immediately unwrapped the package to eat.
But when she opened the lid of the packing box and looked at the contents inside, Qi Xi couldn't help frowning: "Gu Yan, do you treat me like a pig? Why are there so many! What a waste of money!"
Gu Yan was quite calm: "I don't know how much you can eat. I estimated it according to the amount of food I think. Of course, you should buy more and not less. Otherwise, you woke up hungry in the middle of the night and came to the next door to knock on my door to eat. How does it affect my sleep? I'm spending money to keep myself safe."
Qi Xi was so speechless that he just wanted to roll his eyes, but the food was innocent, and Gu Yan's taste was quite good. Although the store he bought didn't even have the name and brand information on the takeaway box, it looked quite informal, but the taste of the food It can be said to be absolutely unique.
only…
"Why is there a box of chocolates and toffee besides the meal?"
"Oh, I sent it."
What takeaway shop can still deliver this? ?
Qi Xi was a little puzzled, she looked at Gu Yan and said, "Then why don't you eat it yourself? Don't you really like sweets?"
"You can eat." Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi, "I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."
But soon, Qi Xi suddenly remembered something: "Wait! Didn't you say last time that you live with your parents, so you can't bring durians home because they hate the taste of durians? But you didn't Living alone, even your sister lives next door to you... "
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he said calmly: "Oh, my parents just moved out. Originally, I did live with my parents. It was indeed a coincidence that they just moved out."
Qi Xi was overjoyed: "Then why don't you be able to enjoy yourself alone now..."
It's just that before she finished her question, Gu Yan couldn't wait to interrupt her: "No, I can't." The man didn't even give Qi Xi a chance to finish, so he said, "I can't eat it alone. Durian, because my parents may come to see me from time to time, so you must not buy durian for me. My mother is allergic to durian, my father is allergic to durian, and my sister is also allergic to durian. Seeing can induce psychology The allergic kind."
He was afraid that Qi Xi might not remember it, so he emphasized it again: "Don't buy durians."
Fine…
Qi Xi felt a little sympathetic to Gu Yan, he didn't expect him to like durian so much, but his parents and sister are allergic, it's so miserable.
"Okay, then I won't buy it, I will take you out to eat alone next time, last time I saw there is durian hot pot!"
Real surprise appeared on Gu Yan's face: "Durian hot pot?!" He said with a complicated expression, "There is also this kind of hunting... this novelty hot pot?"
"Yes!" Qi Xi said, and was about to take out his mobile phone, "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, do you want to have this for supper later?"
"No need!" Gu Yan stopped Qi Xi almost immediately, probably feeling that his attitude was a little eager, the man quickly coughed, and regained his composure, "You better not spend too much money, you and the landlord who rented the house in front of you terminate the contract You will definitely lose some money, and you will have to pay a deposit to rent a new house later, you need to spend a lot of money recently, don't waste it."
makes sense!
"But when will Lawyer Gu's courier arrive? Didn't you say you want me to help her receive a courier at night?"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then calmly said: "Oh, that courier, the courier fell."
Qi Xi nodded: "The courier is having a hard time now, so it will be delivered in a few days?"
Gu Yan calmly said: "Probably not, the courier fell into the river, the item was broken, and my sister returned it."
"..." Is there such a ill-fated courier? Qi Xi felt a little sympathetic to Gu Xuehan, feeling that her luck has not been very good recently.
"Sweets, remember to eat them." Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi, changed the subject, and looked away, "Sweets can calm the shock and help you sleep. Eat it, I'm really leaving this time."
Shock? What's the shock
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he opened the door and left.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door closing that Qi Xi realized it belatedly.
Shocking, yes.
She went through a rollercoaster ride today, and she was indeed a little surprised, but she didn't know what happened, she got a foothold by staying in Gu Xuehan's house, and after another full meal, Gu Yan lived across the street again. However, Qi Xi didn't seem to be too scared anymore.
Qi Xi couldn't fall asleep a bit, so she simply pulled out a legal analysis book on the mysterious cave case from the bookshelf, but before she read it, a piece of paper suddenly fell out of the book.
Qi Xi had no intention of peeking at it, she didn't even know what was on the paper, she just thought it was a bookmark that was put in casually.
It was only after she bent down to pick it up that she knew it wasn't.
This is…
This is a love letter that Gu Yan did not send.
Qi Xi didn't want to read it, but the paper wasn't folded at all. The moment she picked it up, Gu Yan's vigorous handwriting came into view—
"You're reading in the library again, and I'm sitting right behind you, but you'll never know, and you'll never look back. Sometimes you wonder, when will you see me."
This is obviously an unfinished letter, with no signature or letterhead.
But Qi Xi knew it was written by Gu Yan.
Because since the oolong in the last graduation ceremony, Qi Xi went to find Gu Yan's real handwriting to compare. His handwriting is beautiful, Qi Xi will not remember it wrong.
Her heart was beating fast, and almost without thinking, she quickly put the paper back into the book.
Even though Gu Yan was not there, Qi Xi still felt nervous that he was about to be caught for doing something bad.
In addition, there was some panic and panic, and some more subtle and complicated emotions.
If you are reading in the library, then the girl Gu Yan likes is from this school, and Gu Yan still silently goes to the library with her, and secretly falls in love in a place where she can't see...
It's reckless to say the least.
But Qi Xi was surprised by this contrast, but also a little unhappy.
In other words, the few times I heard that Gu Yan went to the library, was it not to study? But to see the crush
Qi Xi felt that he had every reason to be unhappy, because it turned out that Gu Yanying won by himself really effortlessly, and he was studying hard in the library, but it turned out that Gu Yan was trying hard to date others in the library.
Is this plausible
She didn't know what was wrong, she felt as if she had eaten an immature sour plum, and she dialed Gu Yan's number.
Just waiting for the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Qi Xi calmed down.
What is she doing calling Gu Yan at this time? It's so late.
Picking quarrels and provoking trouble
As soon as his sanity returned, Qi Xi frantically tried to hang up the phone.
It's just that Gu Yan always seemed to be one step ahead of her. Before Qi Xi hung up, Gu Yan had already picked up the phone.
"I, I'll just ask you if Lawyer Gu's house has that...that..."
In desperation, Qi Xi felt that her mouth was full. She had been doing that for a long time, but nothing came out.
Sure enough, Gu Yan raised his voice slightly: "Which one?"
Qi Xi was so nervous that he could only make nonsense, "Just that incense! Incense!"
Gu Yan's voice was slightly speechless: "Aren't you still asleep? Are you going to light incense in the middle of the night?"
"Although I'm already lying on the bed, I can't fall asleep." Qi Xi stabilized his mood and said nonsense, "So I thought about whether I should light some incense to help me sleep..."
"It's not safe to light incense all night, so don't light it." Gu Yan paused before continuing, "Is it because of a change of environment that you can't sleep? Or is it because what happened today made you a little scared?"
Showing cowardice and showing weakness are not what Qi Xi is good at and likes. However, I don't know if the moonlight is so gentle that Gu Yan's voice gave Qi Xi a very gentle illusion.
Qi Xi sniffed, her voice was a little husky, obviously she wasn't very scared, but she heard a soft "um" from herself.
And then by a strange coincidence, Qi Xi heard that he had made a request to push forward—
"Gu Yan, can you keep chatting with me? Until I fall asleep."
Just as soon as he opened his mouth, Qi Xi realized that his request was rude, not to mention that everyone's private time is very precious, even if Gu Yan is willing, Qi Xi still can't tell when he can fall asleep, so asking others to chat with him It's too domineering until I fall asleep.
After realizing that it was inappropriate, Qi Xi immediately planned to withdraw the request.
It's just that before she could speak, she heard Gu Yan's voice on the other side of the phone.
He said yes.
