Pei Bao

With a burst of rapid breathing, Gu Bao opened his eyes.The heartbeat was fast, indicating that it was not a very good dream, and the residual panic lingered for a long time at the junction of dream and reality.

The quality of his sleep was very poor, and he fell asleep from time to time when he woke up. When he got up and looked out the window, there was just a little purple-gray light in the sky.

Today is the first time he has to go out since he was imprisoned for a month. He is going to see Tang Yumei.

The last time we met, he told Tang Yumei about moving out.During this month, he had several phone calls with Tang Yumei, and made excuses for not going to the hospital.

He originally thought that it was absolutely impossible for him to go out, but Pei Ting offered to take him out.

When this matter was mentioned, Gu Bao was watching TV. Ever since Pei Ting said those words to him after finishing that night, the two of them had no communication.

Gu Bao didn't break his cans like he did before, and Pei Ting didn't intend to talk to him.

The two of them cooled down, like a pair of unrelated roommates living under the same roof.

Hearing Pei Ting's proposal, Gu Bao stopped switching channels and did not speak.

For this proposal, Gu Bao thought a lot, is this the meaning of letting him go?

Gu Bao rubbed the stinging corners of his eyes, and opened the window.The gray-blue sky makes people feel depressed and dull.

He hadn't packed his bags, and couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or sad that he could leave.If it was said that he couldn't sort out his thoughts last night, then today's mood fully shows that he is definitely not happy.

Gu Bao opened the closet and looked at the row of clothes. He didn't choose the ones arranged by Pei Ting, but took out his own and put them on.

Going downstairs and opening the refrigerator, Gu Bao decided to make breakfast on his own initiative.Although I don't know if this is a good way for them to get together and break up, but Gu Bao didn't want to do nothing during the last time when he and Pei Ting were separated.

It's ridiculous to say that he once cooked a bowl of ginger cola for Pei Ting, and Pei Ting cherished it very much. He said that there is no need to do this, and he can cook others for Pei Ting in the future.

But in fact, he never cooked again, and Pei Ting only drank that bowl of ginger cola after all.

The water boiled, and the noodles were put into the pot. Gu Bao simply ordered two bowls of noodles, and gave Pei Ting an extra egg and a few slices of ham.Looking at the noodles with clear soup and little water, it was not rich, as if what he could give Pei Ting was always so pitifully small.

Footsteps came from the stairs, Pei Ting went downstairs while wearing a tie, saw him in the kitchen and was still in a daze, until Gu Bao brought out the noodles, Pei Ting said: "You don't think I'll let you go today, do you?"

Gu Bao stood there blankly with his face straightened, and made a silly sound, Pei Ting pulled out the chair and sat down: "Today I just took you to see Auntie, if I let you down, I'm sorry."

Two bowls of noodles were placed on the table, Pei Ting left the obviously richer bowl to Gu Bao, and quickly ate the other bowl by himself.

Gu Bao didn't know what to say, he could only talk about his mood at the moment, there was no disappointment, it would be better to say he was relieved.

But he definitely wouldn't let Pei Ting see his useless mentality, he pretended to be calm, looked at the poached egg specially fried for Pei Ting in the bowl, and hesitated for a long time, whether he wanted to give it to Pei Ting.

Unexpectedly, his behavior gave Pei Ting wrong information, Pei Ting glanced at him a few times: "So disappointed that you can't even eat noodles?"

"..." Not at all, Gu Bao discovered that Pei Ting was quite good at brainstorming.

Pei Ting: "Eat something if you can't eat it." After speaking, Pei Ting got up, took away the bowl with only soup left, and put it in the sink.

Gu Bao didn't give away that poached egg after all.

On the car to the hospital, Gu Bao leaned against the window to watch the scenery outside the window.In fact, there was nothing to see. He was imprisoned for a month, and he didn't immediately feel how worth seeing the scenery outside.

In fact, he spent most of the time looking at Pei Ting through the reflection in the window.

People are always contradictory. When he was at home, he didn't want to look at Pei Ting too much. He only watched people secretly after he was out. He didn't know what kind of mentality he was in.

Has Pei Ting lost some weight? The lines of his side face seem to be a little more obvious.When will Pei Ting let him go, before or after the engagement?

He is so uncooperative, making Pei Ting unhappy every time, Pei Ting is not a self-abuse person, why should he keep him by his side.

Maybe it will be unbearable soon, let him go.

While thinking wildly, when the hospital arrived, Pei Ting came to visit Tang Yumei with a basket of flowers and fruit.Tang Yumei has a good impression of Pei Ting, she looks good, she doesn't look like a patient anymore.

As a son, Gu Bao didn't have much room to play around.He could only sit by the side silently and peel Tang Yumei's oranges. He only peeled two oranges in total, one for Tang Yumei and one for Pei Ting.

Pei Ting glanced at him in surprise, Gu Bao frowned, and just about to take the orange back, Pei Ting took the orange and ate a piece.

Tang Yumei leaned against the hospital bed, repeating the old saying: "Xiao Pei, you are already 26, are you looking for a girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Gu Bao's face became tense, Pei Tingting replied naturally: "Don't worry."

Tang Yumei sighed: "Our baby, if it weren't for these things, Baobao and Jiao..."

"Mom!" Gu Bao interrupted Tang Yumei loudly, and before she made a big mistake, he hurriedly said, "Okay, don't worry about it, I'm only 23, brother Pei is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?"

Pei Ting didn't answer the question, Tang Yumei didn't want to annoy her son who rarely came, so she changed the subject and didn't mention it again.

The sun was fine, so Gu Bao and Tang Yumei went downstairs for a walk.Pei Ting did not go down together, but stayed in the ward.

Gu Bao and Tang Yumei walked around, and when they came back, there was no one in the ward.

Gu Bao was stunned, and Tang Yumei said, "Xiao Pei is so busy, he might have gone back beforehand."

He reluctantly nodded and helped Tang Yumei to bed before coming out of the ward.

As soon as he left the ward, he hurried to the nurse's counter and asked if anyone had seen Pei Ting.

Pei Ting was so tall and handsome, the nurses were very impressed.It was said that not long after Gu Bao accompanied Tang Yumei downstairs, that gentleman left.

gone?Gu Bao was flustered when he heard that, didn't he just come to take him to see his mother today, why did he leave suddenly?He doesn't have the password of Pei Ting's house, how can he go back?

Gu Bao walked around the hospital a few times, thinking about whether Pei Ting had gone to the cafeteria, and made a special trip to the cafeteria.After searching around, he was sure that Pei Ting did not stay in the hospital, Pei Ting had left.

Didn't Pei Ting lie to him by saying that he was only taking him to see Tang Yumei today? How could...don't want him?

Gu Bao stood at a loss in the hospital corridor, like a lost child, frightened and flustered, out of breath, his intestines were churning, and he felt like he was weightless.

Before Gu Bao became more anxious, Pei Ting came back, holding a paper bag in his hand, and seeing Gu Bao standing in the corridor with a face about to cry: "What's wrong? What happened?"

As soon as Gu Bao saw Pei Ting, his heart was settled, he didn't turn his head: "No, nothing happened."

Pei Ting went to a medicated food restaurant that doesn't do takeout, to pick up the medicated food that was ordered in the store early in the morning.

He was so thoughtful, Tang Yumei was deeply moved, and said: "Xiao Pei, if Auntie has a daughter, she will definitely let her marry you."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ting was fine, Gu Bao's face turned red first.Although Tang Yumei doesn't have a daughter, her son's usefulness is similar, and Pei Ting has already wiped it out.

Gu Bao peeked at Pei Ting's expression, but found that he was the only one who was uncomfortable and shy.The calmness on Pei Ting's face was like an iron mask, which would not be easily taken off, as if he had nothing to do with Gu Bao.

Under Pei Ting's calmness, Gu Bao's brain, like a boiling porridge pot, also cooled down a little bit, and stopped bubbling randomly.

On the way back, Gu Bao didn't sit next to the door like he did in the morning, but leaned against Pei Ting in a position not too far away.He fell asleep halfway, and he felt that he was leaning on Pei Ting's shoulder in a daze.

In fact, he was awake at that moment, but the next second, Pei Ting's movements made him freeze.

Pei Ting put the pillow in the car on Gu Bao's door, and gently lifted Gu Bao from his shoulders.Push it onto the soft pillow.

The soft pillow and the shoulders that are stronger than a man's do not know how much easier it is to sleep on, but Gu Bao never fell asleep again, but pretended to sleep through the whole process.

It wasn't until the car stopped that Gu Bao acted like he had just woken up, stretched himself, and automatically followed Pei Ting back home.

Along the way, Gu Bao was quite distracted, until after taking a bath at night, Gu Bao came out of the bathroom, wearing loose short sleeves and underwear, walked to the door of Pei Ting's room, and took the initiative to knock on the door.

Pei Ting said to come in, and Gu Bao pushed the door open, and stood in front of Pei Ting silently with the pink feeling from the bath all over his body.

Pei Ting looked up from behind the computer, took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Bao lowered his eyes and looked at his bare toes: "Thank you today."

Pei Ting: "You're welcome."

Gu Bao didn't speak, nor did he leave.

Pei Ting said, "Anything else?"

Gu Bao shook his head slowly, then turned around and left the room.Before returning to the bedroom, he went to the bathroom to take a look at himself. The wet hair, pink cheeks, and bare legs were exposed to the air.

But Pei Ting didn't let him stay, let alone cast a few more glances at him.It seems that he, Gu Bao, is not as good-looking as those few documents.

Suddenly, the words of that night resurfaced in Gu Bao's mind.

Pei Ting said that the day to let him go will come soon, and every day he wakes up, he feels that day.

It turned out that what Pei Ting meant was to take back his love for him day by day, and gradually, he became nothing in Pei Ting's heart.

He became a real passerby, not the boy Pei Ting liked back then, not the man Pei Ting loved for five years, he would be completely let go by Pei Ting.

It turned out that what Pei Ting said was true, it wasn't duplicity, it wasn't a moment of anger, and it wasn't intentional to provoke Gu Bao to make him angry.

But... simply, Pei Ting no longer likes him anymore.
