Pei Bao

The atmosphere seemed to be tense, but it was just Gu Bao's illusion. In reality, Pei Ting only took a step back, his waved hand slowly fell to his side, and said softly: "There is glass on the floor, don't step on it, it will hurt you."

It's like punching cotton, and it looks like he's the bad guy.

Gu Bao looked away: "Don't come to my house in the future, and don't come to school to look for me."

His order after order clearly meant to draw a line.

Pei Ting has long been mentally prepared, and has conceived many possible scenarios before coming.Unexpectedly, the reality is far more hurtful than imagined, and the pain is doubled on him, making it almost impossible for him to maintain his dignity.

Gu Bao stared at the potted plants in the yard, Tang Yumei took care of them very well.The first time Gu Bao gave Pei Ting flowers, he picked them from above.

A sudden sadness surged up, and the mind, which was filled with the sense of betrayal, became a little clearer.

During this period of time, he hated Pei Ting, hated the other party, was annoyed by this person's emotions, and was afraid of the memory of that night.But Pei Ting's kindness to him was real.No matter what the purpose was, there would be no better friend for him than Pei Ting.

Gu Bao is clearly aware of this, and understands that the sadness and heartbreak during this period is not just because Pei Ting did that kind of thing to him, and was almost violated by the closest person.

But after Pei Ting did such a thing, their relationship would never go back.

Gu Bao endured the tears in his eyes, and turned his back: "You go back."

After a long silence, Tang Yumei left and came back, bringing her part-time aunt to clean up the glass shards on the ground.

She felt the strange atmosphere and thought it was a child quarreling, so she dragged Pei Ting to the living room, said that there were favorite fruits, snacks and drinks, and asked Pei Ting what he wanted.

Pei Ting finally stayed and ate at Gu's house.

It was a restaurant for entertaining guests. There were multiple plates of delicacies on the rectangular table. Gu Bao had no appetite. He was sick and could not touch greasy things. What was placed in front of him was only bland nutritious meals.

Gu Baoan was quiet, looking down at the spoonful of porridge.Gu Zheng was chatting with Pei Ting. Pei Ting was different from the young people nowadays. When he wanted to have a good chat with people, he could pick up a lot of topics and throw out the conversation at the right time, so that people would continue naturally.

Gu Zheng became more and more interested, but it was Tang Yumei who kicked him under the table to tell him not to go too far.Pei Ting came to see Gu Bao, you uncle insisted on pulling the young man to do something.

Gu Zheng, a middle-aged man with a successful career, is afraid of his wife for more than ten years. Fear of guilt has become a habit. A look from his beloved wife can tell him to shut up.

After the meal, Tang Yumei pulled Gu Zheng, saying that she was going out to digest food, and left Gu Bao to entertain Pei Ting well.

Gu Bao drank that bowl of porridge from the start of the meal to now, there is still more than half of the bowl left.If the porridge hadn't been too thin, he might have picked up the rice grains and tasted them into his mouth.

It's true that he has no appetite, and it's also true that Pei Ting can't eat.Gu Bao put down the spoon and made a crisp sound.Pei Ting sat at the opposite table silently, the eloquence he used to deal with his father just now disappeared without a trace.

Pei Ting acted stiffly in front of him like a sinner.

Gu Bao felt that even if he poured the remaining bowl of porridge on Pei Ting's face, the man would not be angry, and instead let him vent his anger.

Seeing Pei Ting like this, Gu Bao didn't feel very comfortable.He sighed, and Pei Ting immediately looked at him. This was the second time the two looked at each other after meeting today.

Gu Bao didn't dodge or dodge, he looked carefully at Pei Ting's appearance, but Pei Ting avoided his eyes first.This Pei Ting, who was always confident, mature and considerate in front of him, now abandons himself and is humble. He dare not say sorry to him, and he doesn't know what to say to him.

Then what exactly did Pei Ting come here for today, was it really just to visit him?

Gu Bao pursed his lips, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

Why do I have to come and see him, because I like him.The origin of everything is because of this emotion that shouldn't be born.Gu Bao got up tiredly, wanting to go upstairs.He didn't want to make a sound to see off the guests, but only hoped that Pei Ting could realize it.

Pei Ting was not so conscious, he followed Gu Bao, followed Gu Bao's footsteps, and went upstairs step by step.

Gu Bao thought that he would be afraid and would have a stronger psychological shadow.But hearing Pei Ting's footsteps behind him, he didn't feel much fear.

Even at this point today, subconsciously, he still trusts the other party so damn well.

Gu Bao wanted to scold him for being stupid, but he didn't stop Pei Ting's pace until Pei Ting followed to the second floor. Gu Bao didn't continue to walk to the room, but sat down on the sofa on the second floor: "You What exactly do you want to do?"

Pei Ting did not continue to approach, he carefully maintained a distance from Gu Bao, after Gu Bao said he was disgusted.

He seemed to be afraid that getting too close would make Gu Bao feel disgusted.

Just like a child who has done something wrong, he looks at that person all the time.It doesn't matter how uncomfortable you are, the first reaction, all instincts, only care about the other person's feelings.

Pei Ting whispered: "You have the right not to accept my apology, but I still have to say sorry."

"I was drunk that night and made a big mistake. You hate me, you disgust me, or you want to call the police."

Gu Bao covered his face with one hand, and let out a sudden laugh: "Why did you call the police? Did you do anything to me?"

Pei Ting fell silent again, Gu Bao put down his hands, but did not raise his face: "Pei Ting, I will not call the police, nor will I go back and tell the outside about what happened that night. I want to forget it more than you do."

"And I didn't lose any flesh, and I didn't break my skin. If I tell it, everyone thinks I'm hypocritical." Gu Bao laughed at himself.

But Pei Ting couldn't listen to Gu Bao's self-defeating words: "I know I hurt you."

Gu Bao was taken aback for a moment, his eye sockets turned red unexpectedly.He buried his head deeper in embarrassment and didn't speak.

It took Pei Ting a long time to calm down: "No matter how much you say sorry, it won't help. You won't want to ask for compensation."

A tear fell silently on the carpet, Gu Bao never raised his face, even thankful that the light in this place is not good.

"Gu Bao, if it's possible, I'd rather you never know my feelings for you." Pei Ting said sincerely.

Pei Ting: "I want to be by your side, and I want to be your best friend."

"But I messed up everything, didn't I." Pei Ting said bitterly.

A series of tears soaked the carpet, Gu Bao breathed heavily, and replied muffledly: "Yes, you screwed up."

Pei Ting asked softly: "That car is still in the club, do you still want it?"

Gu Bao didn't speak, Pei Ting said: "I still want it, I can't give you a birthday present, the 17-year-old gift, can you keep it?" He used a pleading tone.

Pei Ting: "This is the second time you have a stomach problem. You should pay attention to your diet at school."

He rambled on and said a lot, and said everything he thought of to pay attention to and remind.

Pei Ting was afraid that Gu Bao would think he was hypocritical, so he wanted to keep his words as simple as possible, but this might be the last time he and Gu Bao had a conversation, so he couldn't help it.

He sat on the stairs, looked at Gu Bao with straightforward and nostalgic eyes, and wanted to imprint every outline of this person in his heart.

Gu Bao was still soft-hearted, he didn't drive him away, and even tolerated him saying a lot.

Until the last thing that could be explained, they were all explained, and the two fell into a long silence again.

Pei Ting stood up, straightened the hem of his clothes, and solemnly said the words he had prepared for several days: "Don't worry, I won't come to you again, don't be afraid."

Gu Bao curled up his knees, stepped on the sofa, buried his face between his arms, exposing his frail and pale neck.If it wasn't for his body not shaking, Pei Ting even thought he was crying.

Pei Ting gave Gu Bao a deep and heavy look for the last time, and he walked towards Gu Bao, breaking the safe distance between them.

Gu Bao seemed to have sensed it, he didn't raise his head, he just buried his face deeper, his shoulder blades raised clearly, he lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.

Between his knees, Gu Bao saw Pei Ting's shoes, which stopped in front of him, and stepped on the carpet that was wet by his tears just now.

He heard Pei Ting say, "Baby, I'm leaving."

As always, Pei Ting actually said this sentence many times.When going to work, when sending him home, when he was called away by the company during dinner, with him in the hospital, when morning came.

Only this time, Pei Ting really wanted to leave, and would never come back again, and could not appear in front of him, just like the promise he made.

Pei Ting's hand did not land on Gu Bao's hair, he was even more afraid of Gu Bao.

He turned around, and the sound of footsteps became farther and farther away, until Gu Bao could no longer hear the sound of that person's footsteps.

Gu Bao sat on the sofa for a long time without moving, like a wax figure that has fallen in snow, cold and thin, no more lights will fall on him, those cares and endless tolerance, treat him well, there will be no more .

When Tang Yumei and Gu Zheng came back, there was no one in the lobby, and the hourly worker aunt had already left.Tang Yumei called Gu Bao's name, walked up the stairs, and finally found Gu Bao on the sofa.

She was taken aback by Gu Bao, and just about to say why she was silent there, when she saw her son, he raised his face from his arms and wept profusely.

Tang Yumei had never seen Gu Bao cry like this before, as if crying until the world collapsed.

She heard her son, sobbing, and said loudly: "Mom, Mom! I feel bad!"

Tang Yumei panicked, thinking that he was sick or something, so she hurried forward and hugged Gu Bao.

Her son has never cried like this since he was eight years old. What happened? What happened? !

Tang Yumei also wanted to cry: "What's wrong with you, tell mom, what happened? Does it hurt, shall we go to the hospital?"

Gu Bao sobbed and shook his head in his mother's arms, and murmured: "I was wrong about my mother, from the beginning to the end?"

"I feel bad, mom, what, what should I do?"

Tang Yumei hugged her son tightly and stroked his head.

Gu Bao grabbed his mother's clothes tightly and cried until his voice was hoarse: "Why is this, I hate, hate this, why can't it be the same as before!"

Tang Yumei didn't understand, but it didn't prevent her from feeling her son's sadness at this moment.

Gu Bao cried intermittently, and finally said softly in Tang Yumei's arms: "I'm not afraid of him anymore, and I can't see him anymore."

"I lost someone very important, and he will never come back to me."
