Contract marriage: Gong Shaoqiu let go

Before he knew it, it was eleven o'clock. Bai Xiaoqian watched the hour hand on the wall slowly cross the number eleven, and lay on the bed listening to the sound of the second hand being continuously amplified. The bedroom was still brightly lit, waiting for her return home people.

Here, Gong Junxi saw that it was getting late, got up, and said to Huang Lingling, "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

Huang Lingling pursed her lips, a little reluctant, "What? My sister came to see you from a long distance, and you just miss your beautiful wife and don't talk to me for a while?"

Gong Junxi shook his head helplessly and smiled, the light shone on his hair, shining brightly, "It's not because I'm afraid of tiring you."

"As you know, I haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet. Now is the time when I am full of energy. Brother Junxi, please stay with me for a while." Huang Lingling whispered softly with longing eyes.

Gong Junxi thought he wasn't sleepy, so he did as she wanted, "Okay, let me accompany you." Then he made a gesture of surrender with both hands.

"By the way, Brother Junxi, I brought you something from Africa. It's in the guest room upstairs. Let's go up and get it." Huang Lingling patted her head and said with a smile.

Gong Junxi walked up to the second floor as he said, "Brother Junxi, this corridor of yours can be compared to a small art exhibition."

Gong Junxi followed behind her silently. These paintings were purchased for Zhao Mengmeng when he was studying oil painting. Because of her, he also learned a lot of art knowledge. Sometimes, he would go to At the auction, she took photos of the real products she liked, and later, she developed this habit unconsciously.

But now the person who can accompany me to appreciate is no longer there.

Bai Xiaoqian sat up from the bed and stayed quietly on the bed, she seemed to have heard Huang Lingling's voice.

"By the way, Brother Junxi, do you think my memory is good? I have been thinking about this guest room all the time, and I wonder if I have been away for so long, and you changed my room into a storage room someday. room." Huang Lingling joked, her voice was especially loud and piercing in the empty corridor.

Bai Xiaoqian in the bedroom could hear clearly, this room is specially prepared for Huang Lingling?Thinking of this, her heart felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"You girl is talking nonsense again. I promised you that this house was reserved for you. How could it be remodeled for you?" Gong Junxi's deep voice sounded slowly.

He also came up, and Bai Xiaoqian sat on the bed a little uneasy, not knowing what to do when he came in later, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the sound of the door opening, she got off the bed in doubt, but hesitated the moment she opened the door, I closed my eyes and opened the door in one go. The corridor was empty, there was no one there, and the lights on the ceiling were still wide open.

Huang Lingling walked into her guest room, "It's exactly the same as when I left." Her words revealed satisfaction and joy.

Gong Junxi went directly to the balcony and opened the window. It was already late at night, and the breeze dispelled the summer heat. She still hasn't slept?

This room is the only one where you can see the balcony of the master bedroom from the balcony. Seeing the light from the master bedroom, Gong Junxi frowned slightly.

Huang Lingling also walked out of the balcony, holding Gong Junxi's arm, and following his gaze, it happened to be their master bedroom. In this position, her palms were involuntarily clenched, "Brother Junxi, do you still remember when I was a child? Were you locked on the balcony for fun? Later, you crawled over from the balcony of the master bedroom, and you thought it was funny when you thought about it at first, but now you think about it, you are covered in cold sweat, and you feel that you were too ignorant at the time."

Hearing Huang Lingling's voice, Gong Junxi gradually withdrew his thoughts, and looked at her, "Are you sensible now?"

Huang Lingling was taken aback by his strict brother's attitude, and then Gong Junxi joked, "You don't want to help your parents do what they are most worried about, isn't it because you are ignorant?"

Huang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, her heart was full of bitterness, "Why are you here again? I came here to take refuge here to avoid my mother's nagging. I didn't expect it. Instead, I escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den." She said with a mischievous smile, and the two laughed happily.

Bai Xiaoqian returned to the bed, and soon heard bursts of laughter coming from the balcony. She felt like a big rock was pressing on her heart, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. Thinking about the scene at dinner at night, did they Brother and sister?This question kept appearing in Bai Xiaoqian's mind.

"Okay, go to bed early, good night." Gong Junxi checked the time, it was already two o'clock, and it was indeed getting late.

Huang Lingling thought that he had to go to work tomorrow, so she didn't want to stay any longer, "Okay, but I want to make an appointment for you to be my tour guide next time. You also know that City A hasn't been back for so many years, so it's a little rusty."

Gong Junxi nodded, "It's not easy, okay, go to bed early." He rubbed his brows and walked out of the guest room. Huang Lingling stood by the door, watched him turn the corner, and followed him unconsciously. Watch him open the bedroom door and walk into the master bedroom.

Leaning his back against the wall, putting away the smile on his face, he watched the man he had cared about for more than ten years walk towards another woman's room step by step, even though that woman was her wife, so what, obviously I know him first, obviously he should be my own.

Gong Junxi opened the bedroom door and paused. He glanced at the time on his watch to confirm that it was indeed two o'clock in the morning, and Bai Xiaoqian was still sitting quietly on the bed, her long hair hanging on both sides. , quiet and weak, when he heard the sound of the door opening and looked up at himself, at that moment, his throat slipped, could it be that she was waiting for him?
The light flickered in front of his eyes, and he walked into the bathroom without saying a word, after a quick wash, he pulled the quilt back and lay down on the bed.

Bai Xiaoqian looked at his series of movements with calm and questioning eyes, didn't he intend to explain to himself why he came back so late?Seeing that he was silent and lying down, with exhaustion on his brows, Bai Xiaoqian couldn't bear to ask, so she picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned off the light.

In the darkness, Gong Junxi opened her eyes and felt the movement around her. She lay down carefully under the quilt. The bed was big enough for four people to lie flat. She only occupied a small position, turning her head sideways. Looking at the past, the raised shape in the darkness seemed to be facing away from him, as if silently guarding.

Gong Junxi also turned sideways, closed his eyes and didn't think too much, the two of them finally fell asleep in silence, but they were on the same bed, but they seemed so distinct.

The next day.

When Bai Xiaoqian woke up, the room was already brightly lit, and the sunlight could not wait to seep through the gaps in the curtains, refracting on the floor to form a mottled light and shadow.

When I got up, because I slept too late last night, I felt dizzy like a tide, and the body that was almost supported was about to fall down again.

"Wow." The bathroom door opened, Bai Xiaoqian looked up subconsciously, and immediately lowered her head again. Gong Junxi just came out after taking a shower, with a strong chest on his upper body and a towel around his lower body. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoqian had already thought about it. He came over, but without any embarrassment, he turned around and began to change his clothes.

Bai Xiaoqian only heard the rustling of clothes being put on beside her. This period of time seemed to be extremely long. Thinking of his body when he came out, although he had already experienced the most intimate things, in the final analysis, the two of them were still like strangers generally.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Bai Xiaoqian coughed lightly, "Junxi, is that girl your sister? She seems to know me, but I don't know anything."

Gong Junxi has already put on the shirt, his slender fingers shuttled back and forth on the buttons, the cuffs are exquisite and noble, shining blue light, "Well, the two were neighbors before, so they grew up together naturally, and later their family immigrated to the United States Yes, three years ago, you go." After a pause here, Bai Xiaoqian also knew who he was talking about, "Three years ago, my fiancee and I went to the United States together, you just met once.",

Bai Xiaoqian nodded and raised her head unconsciously, "Then is she going to live here?"

Gong Junxi was already dressed at this time and was in the process of putting on a tie. Bai Xiaoqian used to think that the most attractive moments of a man were when he was wearing a tie and when he unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves. The movement of a man wearing a tie is slow and elegant.

When Gong Junxi heard her question, he squinted over, "Do you mind?"

Bai Xiaoqian woke up and shook her head, "No, I'm just..."

And Gong Junxi obviously didn't intend to listen to what she said, "It's fine if you don't have one, Bai Xiaoqian, although I'm married to you, you also know that the essence of our marriage is no love."

She had always known that the marriage between the two of them was just to get what they needed, and she cooperated with him to find the murderer, and she also got a temporary place to live, but now she heard him tell herself that the two of them Without love, why can't my heart be calm and accept it?
"I see." Bai Xiaoqian lowered her head, she knew that her expression would not be very calm now, and she didn't want him to see any disappointed expression in her.

In the hazy light, Bai Xiaoqian lowered her head, as if there was a hazy tulle, Gong Junxi stopped looking, and with her words, there was a crisp sound of closing the door.
