most difficult city

"Hey...less than...less than?"

Gu's father called his name, Yu Baichu came back to his senses, and apologized: "I'm sorry uncle, I'm sorry."

Gu Qi's parents kindly left him for dinner, and Yu Baichu agreed without any rice from last night.

Yu Baichu originally thought that Gu's father and mother would talk to him about Gu Qi's work, but most of the time they greeted him to eat, and only insinuatingly asked Yu Baichu and Gu Qi to take care of each other when the meal was almost finished.

After dinner, Yu Baichu excused himself from driving for hours and was too tired to get a chance to lie down in Gu Qi's room.He happily and carefully opened the door of Gu Qi's room. The window of the room was not closed, and there was a breeze in the air.

Gu's mother smiled while closing the window: "Xiao Qi is not at home often, and no one lives in the room. It smells after a long time. I open the window every day to let in some air. Auntie close the window now, so that you don't get cold while sleeping."

Thanks to Yu Baichu.After Gu's mother withdrew, he was left alone in the room. He closed the door and looked at the room carefully. There was a spacious single bed. There was a desk under the window. The desk was connected to the bookshelf. His fingers slid across the shelves. , Most of the silent books are Gu Qi's professional books when he was a student.Open the closet at the end of the bed, there are mostly Gu Qi's clothes in his youth, the style is simple and classic, with a high school uniform sandwiched in the middle, ugly sportswear style, Yu Baichu can't help but imagine the appearance of Gu Qi in his teenage years smiled.

Lying down on the bed where he slept, Yu Baichu took a deep breath against the quilt, smelling the sun and him.After thinking about it for so many years, there is no distance between him and him at this time, but there is a time and space.

Even so, Yu Baichu was very satisfied, it was better than Gu Qi looking at him bewildered with surprise.

He slept for more than two hours, woke up and folded the quilt on the bed, and reluctantly took a copy of Gu Qi's notes from the shelf.

Before leaving, Gu's parents gave him a lot of sausages and tofu, but Yu Baichu declined but had to accept it.

"Aren't you two afraid that I'm a liar?"

"What are you talking about? How can someone who is less than a successful person be a liar? After Xiao Qi went to college, he never had any classmates at home, and he never told us about him, but we knew in our hearts that he was very uncomfortable alone. Easy. In fact, we are also selfish, thinking that you can take care of him more."

He is happy to take care of him, but he doesn't necessarily want to.

Yu Baichu drove to the best shopping mall in the city to choose some gifts.Turning back to Gu Qi's house, the yard was as quiet as when he first came, and occasionally I heard laughter from the TV; in winter, the sun goes down early, and the cured meat in the yard has been taken back, and I don't know what is under the withered flower stand. Then came a wild cat, squinting its eyes and taking a nap...

lonely.

Yu Baichu put down the gift, took out a note from his pocket and put it inside...

The return journey was a bit congested, and while it was still dark, he enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the road. Even in winter, there were still green mountains and green waters. He thought that he would have the opportunity to come with Gu Qi and take a closer look.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he called Gu Qi's mobile phone and no one answered it. It was dark and he drove downstairs to his house, and the windows on his floor were dark.

Yu Baichu felt uneasy, and stayed through the night. Early the next morning, Yu Baichu came to Gu Qi's house and rang the doorbell frantically, and the door opened a few minutes later.

Gu Qi behind the door was wearing a crumpled blue shirt, with sleepy eyes and deep black and blue shadows under his eyes. After seeing the person, he pinched his temples and said, "Mr. Yu? Why are you here?"

It's his first time at his house.

"Aren't you asking me to come in and sit down?"

Gu Qi moved out of the way, and Yu Baichu walked in, handing a pair of new slippers at his feet.

"My house is a little messy. I don't care if I wear slippers or not. I'll take a shower first, and Mr. Yu can help himself."

Yu Baichu was alone in the living room. He changed his slippers and walked through the hallway. He was startled by the sight in front of him.

This is more than "somewhat" messy... The suitcase is spread out randomly under the sofa, and some clothes inside are folded and some are loosely hung on the edge of the box; on the coffee table, the laptop with a dark screen is on and the power light is on, and the white porcelain cup next to it Half of the black coffee was left in the bag, another glass was poured on the table, half of the white blanket on the sofa fell on the floor, and there were two thick stacks of documents on the floor...

The living habits of the owner of the house can be seen.

After taking a shower, Gu Qi was wearing a light gray sweater, his hair was not completely dried and limply hanging on his head, he washed a cup and filled it with water for Yu Baichu.

Yu Baichu took the water glass and took a sip, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Well, I didn't go to bed until early in the morning." Gu Qi pulled the white blanket to fold it, and when he folded it in half, he found that the corner was wet, probably because he knocked over the water glass while falling asleep.He rubbed the blanket into his arms indiscriminately and prepared to carry it to the balcony to dry in the sun, but he stepped on the overturned water stain and fell back on Yu Baichu's body.

Afraid that he would hit the coffee table, Yu Baichu instinctively wrapped his arms around his waist, the skins of their faces briefly touched, one was cool, and the other was still hot from the shower.Alternating hot and cold, with a faint smell of shower gel in his nose, Yu Baichu's body went numb.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu." Gu Qi hurriedly got up, holding the blanket to hang on the balcony.

Only then did he realize that today's weather is very good, the sun is pouring down on the enclosed balcony and it is warm and warm. He opened the window to try to breathe the long-lost fresh air. Close the window again.

This series of movements is very cute in Bai Chu's eyes.

He likes Gu Qi, who has a strong sense of life. Director Gu, who is respectful to his superiors and strict with his subordinates, has too thick armor and is invulnerable to the point of perversion.

Gu Qi turned his head to meet Yu Baichu's gaze, both of them were caught off guard for a moment.Gu Qi turned his face away.

"By the way, Mr. Yu, what are you doing here today?"

Yu Baichu sat upright, "What about you? Why are you at home? If I remember correctly, your vacation is very long."

Gu Qi walked to the coffee table and picked up two stacks of materials on the ground, "The market is highly competitive, no one will wait for us to rest before starting to attack."

"You are not a machine."

"I'm almost thirty."

"The older a man is, the more popular he is."

"As I get older, I just want to take care of my old age."

Yu Baichu didn't expect him to make such an answer, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Wife and child are hot on the kang?"

"Besides, you can live well alone."

Gu Qi obviously didn't want to continue this topic, he flipped through the refrigerator and asked Yu Baichu: "What do you want for lunch?"

Yu Baichu was pleasantly surprised, "You know how to cook?"

"Anybody cooks things."

The refrigerator was full of cured vegetables brought by Gu Qi from his hometown. Gu Qi turned it inside out, took out two sausages, sliced ​​them into slices, steamed them in a pot, and cooked some rice in a rice cooker. It was he who followed Yu Baichu. It's lunch time.

Yu Baichu rubbed his nose, he didn't seem to have any right to speak about lunch.

Gu Qi's steamed rice was unexpectedly soft and hard, and Yu Baichu was full of praise.

"You seem to be steaming rice a lot."

"No, I can't remember when was the last time. I seem to have bought rice half a year ago."

Yu Baichu's hand holding the chopsticks slipped.He looked down and saw that most of the rice in the bowl had been eaten, forget it, it was only half a year.

He ate a lot of sausages and kept drinking water after meals.Gu Qi was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Yu Baichu said casually: "My part-time worker is very good, can I introduce her to you later?"

"it is good."

The part-time worker introduced by Yu Baichu rang the doorbell of Gu Qi's house early the next morning, and Gu Qi stumbled up from the bed, wandering to open the door.The door opened, and there was a middle-aged aunt standing in front of her with a pleasant smile. Gu Qi, who was not in the mood, thought that some aunt had gone to the wrong place, so he flicked his hand to close the door, but the aunt pressed the door and pushed it open.

"You are Xiao Gu, right? Boss Yu invited me to clean it."

Gu Qi woke up.

His house didn’t have a vacuum cleaner, so when he came out after washing, he saw the part-time worker cleaned up the sofa and the scattered things on the floor and started mopping the floor over and over again, and the mop had been washed several times.Gu Qi was ashamed for a while, poured a glass of water for the part-time worker, and started doing housework by himself.

After washing the mop, the aunt saw Gu Qi adjusting the washing machine, she hurriedly pulled him away, and said, "Little Gu, what are you doing? You go and do the work, I will do the work."

"It's okay, I'm not busy now."

"If you're not busy, go to bed and sleep for a while. Boss Yu said that you often stay up late to work. Young people should take good care of their bodies."

Gu Qi had no choice but to lie back to rest under the ardent attack of his aunt. He tossed and turned and was about to fall asleep when his aunt came in to clean his room. He went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas and sat on the toilet in a daze in a daze.

After most of the day, the aunt not only cleaned up his house but also made a simple lunch. Gu Qi wanted to pay the bill for the aunt, and the aunt waved her hands repeatedly.

"Boss Yu has settled the bill and asked me to come four times a week."

Gu Qi's hand holding the money was hanging in the air, extremely stiff.

He also refused to stay with his aunt for dinner. The aunt said that she would rush to the next house, and she could earn a lot of hands and feet in a day.

After hearing this, Gu Qi sent the aunt out, and gave her a spare key before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the part-time worker left, Yu Baichu arrived, and Gu Qi had to fill another bowl of rice. After all, he paid for it.

Yu Baichu was in a bright mood.

The meal was neither salty nor bland, Yu Baichu enjoyed it very much.After the meal, he insisted that he had no intention of leaving. He watched Gu Qi from the sidelines and couldn't concentrate on what he was doing. After weighing it up, he issued an order to evict the guests in disguise: "Mr. Yu, I can't work while you are here."

"Aren't you tired from working all day?"

"Work makes me happy."

"Oil and salt do not enter."

There was silence in the air.

After a while, Gu Qi asked helplessly, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Yu Bai raised his eyebrows, "It's an honor."
