Chapter 83 (1/2)
Du Xiaoxian was lying on the empty bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. It's nearly 12 o'clock, and Gu nianbin has not returned yet. So, is he planning not to return tonight? She wanted to call, but she didn't dare. Afraid to hear what you don't want to hear.
She didn't know what happened to Gu nianbin? It was like a different person overnight. Too tired at work? Or Don't like her?
The wind poured in from half of the window, blowing the gauze curtain in the room. In the dark, it was like a big butterfly flying. With the curtain floating, the light and shadow were bright and dark. It was the moonlight as cold as water.
Du Xiaoxian got out of bed with his shoes and pulled the curtain aside. The moon appeared in the air. The autumn moon is particularly bright, big and round, like a big jade plate. The sky was crab blue with a faint white light, but it was brighter outside than in the house. When the night wind came, Du Xiaoxian could not help shivering and clasped her hands. She was still sleeping in Gu nianbin's short sleeve T-shirt. The wide cuffs were puffed up by the wind, and goose bumps appeared on her arm.
From time to time, there are cars passing the road, dragging the scarlet tail lights, standing silent, like the guardian of the city. The neon lights on the distant high-rise buildings flicker in silence, red, yellow, green, blue and purple, constantly changing colors. The night is gorgeous, but like a silent world, it makes people sad. She rarely stands here alone, and there is Gu nianbin's warm arms behind her every time. He whispered and chuckled in her ear and showed her the buildings and lights in the distance Sometimes he would kiss her neck and earlobe, make her itchy, then two people make a group, the room is full of laughter.
Du Xiaoxian closed the window and drew the curtain. Go back to bed and lie down again. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but two lines of clear tears slowly slipped from the corner of her eyes
Gu nianbin returned home and unexpectedly saw Xia Xiaowan. She sat in the hall chatting with Fang Yaru. Seeing Gu nianbin come back, she said hello with a smile. Then she stood up and said, ”Auntie, I have something else to do. Go first. You should take the medicine and take it. Next time, I will bring you some boxes.”
Fang Yaru said, ”the meal will be ready immediately. Can you go after the meal?”
”No, I have an appointment,” Xia Xiaowan said. ”I happen to pass by here and I'll send you some medicine.”
”Thank you very much, Xiaowan.” Fang Yaru heard her say this, but it was not good to keep her. She called Gu nianbin: ”you send Xiaowan for me.”
”Don't use it,” Xia Xiaowan waved her hand and walked toward the door in a hurry.
Gu nianbin hesitated for a moment and followed him out. He went down the steps, Xia Xiaowan had already arrived at the side of the car, opened the door and was about to get in. When he called her, Xia Xiaowan looked back at him and said with a smile, ”I'll go first. You can go in.”
Gu nianbin said, ”why do you have to leave as soon as I come back? Isn't it hiding from me
”No, no, it depends on where you want to go,” Xia Xiaowan said. ”I really have an appointment, and I'll send medicine to my aunt by the way.” After a pause, she said in a low voice: ”besides, I'm afraid you may misunderstand me. I'm really not related to you at all. I didn't know you were back today. ”
Gu nianbin frowned: ”why do you say that? I didn't misunderstand anything. It's all over. You don't need to avoid suspicion like this. ”
Xia Xiaowan seemed to be relieved and said, ”you are so open-minded, but I think too much. You know, although I have thick skin, I still don't want to cause your misunderstanding.”
”No,” Gu nianbin finally laughed. ”Thank you for coming to see my mother.”
Xia Xiaowan also laughed, ”you're welcome. My aunt and I are quite compatible. I'll go first. ” She waved her hand, got into the car, stepped out and waved to him, then made a big turn and drove towards the gate.
Gu nianbin turned up the steps and saw Fang Yaru standing at the door. He asked, ”where's dad?”
”Recently, he has been lying in bed for a long time
Gu nianbin said, ”I'm going to see him.”
Entering the hall, he asked, ”what medicine does Xia Xiaowan come to give you?”
Fang Yaru sighed: ”recently, there is always low back pain. It is estimated that there is something wrong with the lumbar vertebrae. Last time Xiaowan listened to me and put it in her heart. She asked someone to get medicine from abroad. She said it was effective. Let me have a try. ”
Gu nianbin felt guilty and said, ”I'm sorry, mom. I'm busy with my work recently, and I haven't found time to come back to see you and dad. I'm...”
”It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter,” Fang Yaru patted her son's arm. ”It's all old problems. It doesn't matter. You're busy. Don't worry about us. You can rest assured that you and I can eat and sleep. It doesn't matter if you and I can eat and sleep.”
The mother and son went upstairs when they were talking. Gu Guangxian was very happy to see his son come. He patted the edge of the bed and asked him to sit down: ”I heard that the province is going to invite tenders for ecological parks again recently. Do you have any intention?”
”We are preparing the bidding documents. There are 18 companies bidding this time. The competition is very fierce.”
