rest of life

Tong Yao's cell phone rang a voice call.

She took out her mobile phone from under the pillow, glanced at the partner who helped her out of the picture album, and rubbed her face that was a little stiff from smiling.

Adjust your tone and pick it up, saying, "Hello."

"Hi, hello, teacher," said a young woman's voice on the other end of the phone. It was quite nice, and she was speaking in an orderly manner about the current progress of the album and how she would cooperate with the publicity.

Tong Yao listened and responded.

Hang up the phone quickly.

Gu Qingyun raised her hand and turned on the light, because she was so close, she could vaguely hear their conversation.

With a smile on his face, he couldn't tell whether he was teasing or curious, so he added softly, "Teacher Tong?"

"..." Tong Yao swallowed her saliva. When she called this name, she always felt a little strange and inexplicable. "Uh, those people on the Internet, everyone is polite... I like to be called teachers or something."

"I see," Gu Qingyun laughed again, staring at Tong Yao as if he was deeply interested, bending his eyes, and said softly, "Teacher Tong."

Tong Yao: "..."

"Don't call me that, I can't bear it." Tong Yao couldn't help raising her hand to cover her face, "Mr. Gu!"

Gu Qingyun turned his face away and pouted.

Curved lips, thinking of the past.

She didn't say anything.

Gu Qingyun looked through the window and saw a few small stalls downstairs in the distance, and asked, "The stall selling roasted brains hasn't left yet, shall I pack a copy for you?"

"Brain roast?" Tong Yao stared at her in disbelief, and asked dully, "Well, the brain roast is a pig's brain."

Gu Qingyun, "Otherwise?"

"But... don't you hate pig brains the most?"

"I won't eat again."

Tong Yao stared at her injured leg with emotion. In the past, she was not even allowed to put pig's brains in the same soup base in hot pot, but now she is willing to pack a roasted brains for her!

For Tong Yao, although the pig's brain flower looks a little ugly and sounds a little unbeautiful, but when you eat it, it melts with a sip, and it is full of fragrance. It is simply a delicious delicacy.

Before she heard that Gu Qingyun hadn't tasted it at all, she hated the pig's brain flower in every possible way, calling it a strange food, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of mission to clear up the grievances of the pig's brain flower.

After a lot of talking, he showed the spirit of a sales manager who wanted to earn 1000 million, and finally succeeded in persuading Gu Qingyun to try a small piece.

Just a piece of pig's brain the size of a fingernail.

Gu Qingyun ate it into her mouth, and immediately spit it out. She couldn't stop retching, and finally she rinsed her mouth in the bathroom for half an hour.

"..."

That day, Tong Yao ate the remaining pig brains with a very complicated mood, and the food was still delicious.

But I was very afraid of whether I could kiss her when I went home.

Tong Yao recalled, sniffed and said, "Honey, you really love me."

Gu Qingyun: "..."

Gu Qingyun sighed, "So do you want to eat it or not?"

"Let me think about it!"

Tong Yao hasn't had time to say whether she wants it or not.

"Don't think about it," Gu Qingyun stood there looking out the window, and suddenly smiled, "The stall is already closed."

Tong Yao suddenly frowned and groaned: "I can't eat it when I want it, so I really want to eat it now."

"Then what should I do? Do you want me to chase after other people's stalls, tell him to stop, and then buy them back for you?" Gu Qingyun said so, and he had already sat down, obviously not planning to really rush downstairs now.

Tong Yao pursed her lips, but she still wanted to eat, so she said, "Then you can buy it for me tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay," Gu Qingyun replied, thinking of the disgusting appearance and taste of roasted brain flowers, he couldn't help but frowned, "...if I remember it tomorrow."

Tong Yao smiled reassuringly and complacently, "My wife has such a good memory, it is absolutely impossible to forget, she has already promised me, and she will never go back on her word. So, you can eat roasted brain flowers tomorrow."

Gu Qingyun's eyes were slightly bent, and he ignored her.

Go and draw the curtains to block out the brilliant light outside.

—

Gu Qingyun sat and read a few pages of work materials.

I was worried that Tong Yao would sleep too much during the day and would not be able to sleep at night.After a while, I realized that I was just worrying too much.

Tong Yao was lying on the bed, and if she didn't touch her phone, she could fall asleep after closing her eyes for a while.

"..."

Gu Qingyun walked over gently, and slowly helped her pull down the over-high quilt a little. When he got closer, he suddenly noticed that she was frowning, as if she was restless in sleep.

Gu Qingyun was quiet for a while, and accompanied her, guessing her dream at the moment.

"..."

Turning to look at the pile of extra things in the ward.

Those condolences, at first glance, look like the style of elders coming to visit the sick.

When Gu Qingyun entered, he thought it was Tong Yao's parents who had come.

"..."

Tong Yao's leg was broken for so many days, and her parents never came to visit her.

In his sleep, he didn't relax his eyebrows for a long time.

Gu Qingyun squatted beside the bed, reaching out his hand to caress her brows and eyes distressedly, while thinking about what was going on in her family.

She originally thought that Tong Yao, like herself, was the kind who had no nostalgia for her native family.

Keep in touch with each other, just say greetings during the New Year and holidays, like treating distant relatives, no news is the best news.

But now it turns out it wasn't.

Tong Yao is a stubborn child. She usually looks friendly and has a sweet smile. She is always good at anything.But in her heart, she is extremely rational. When she hits the south wall, she will continue to hit it. If no one pulls her, she can keep hitting her until her head bleeds.

Gu Qingyun realized that she actually wanted to go home.

"..."

—

After a few days.

During this period of time, Tong Yao was restricted in her freedom of life, and felt that her desire to create had greatly increased, and she finished several business drafts in a row.

She used to be the kind of fishing player who took as few jobs as possible while ensuring her life, seeking quality rather than quantity, and was not in a hurry before the deadline.

Those who are diligent recently are almost catching up with the hand speed of an octopus.

I was also asked by my friends if I owed money?

Tong Yao laughed so hard that she took a photo of her broken leg and sent it to her. She really said that she owed a huge sum of money and got into trouble, and asked if she could borrow some money.

Jiyou's profile picture went dark in an instant, and there was no reply.

Tong Yao: "...??"

While staring, she threw down her phone angrily and continued to draw.

After a while, I heard the sound of the doorknob being turned.

Tong Yao put down the board in her hand and looked up.

Thought it was a doctor and nurse.

Tong Jianguo approached and stood at the end of Tong Yao's bed. After seeing her daughter's legs immobilized by thick plaster, her face was tense, her lips were pursed into a line, and she did not speak for a long time.He just kept his eyes fixed on her face.

Luo Mei stood at the door and looked in, but didn't come in again. After a while, he said, "It's really good to hang out outside."

Tong Yao: "..."
