the world in which he exists
Chapter 59
There was a slight wind blowing when he came out of Su Bing's house, so Gu Chaoming turned on his cell phone to see if Gu Tao had called him.
After some thinking, Gu Chaoming decided to go home and take a look before going to see his mother. If the door was opened at home, he would ask Gu Tao for the key and then go to get a key.If Gu Tao didn't come back, he would call a lock picker to open the door and replace it with a new lock.
When going upstairs, he paid special attention to the small advertisement of the lockpicker on the wall, and Gu Chaoming took out his mobile phone to take a photo.
Just after taking the photo, there was a sharp cry from the building, the cry of a child, resounding through the sky and through the whole building.
Gu Chaoming went upstairs stepping on the crying of the child, and saw Aunt Cheng who came downstairs after walking a few steps.
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, and you run out to play before you finish your homework." Aunt Cheng raised her hand, and when she heard the sound of someone going upstairs, she turned her head and saw Gu Chaoming who was about to pass by quietly.
Seeing Gu Chaoming, Aunt Cheng's stern look on her face when she taught her children a lesson turned into a kind smile: "Chaoming is back? I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your dad got rich recently?"
Originally, Gu Chaoming just wanted to deal with Auntie Cheng with a polite smile and went upstairs, but when he heard Auntie Cheng's words, Gu Chaoming stopped in his tracks.
"Get rich?" Gu Chaoming's tone was filled with doubts, nothing else.
What kind of money did Gu Tao make?
"You don't know yet? He said it himself when he was playing mahjong a few days ago. He said that a friend took him into business and made a lot of money. He even said that he would play mahjong for hundreds of dollars. Everyone laughed at him for bragging. If he hit him, he said those people didn’t know anything.”
Gu Chaoming stood there without making a sound, and Aunt Cheng came over and said, "I think your father is really lucky. He was unlucky in the past few years, and good luck turns around. You are also lucky and followed your father. You won’t have to worry about the good times in the future, your father also said that he will find you a new mother, and if he finds a new mother, he will change the house.”
Gu Tao did say these words when he was playing mahjong, but Aunt Cheng just omitted Gu Tao's scolding of Qu Yingyi later, for fear that Gu Chaoming would not be happy if he heard it.
Gu Tao said in the store that he drank alcohol when he got rich, and Aunt Cheng was watching them playing mahjong. She didn't know whether it was Gu Tao's drunken words or the truth, so she happened to meet Gu Chaoming today and hurriedly asked.If it's true, I used to take such good care of the two of them, and I paid so much on credit with her, and I greeted them with a smile, so I can't forget her when I get rich.
Aunt Cheng is quite proud of herself, thinking that she has a vision. People in the corridor are all snobbish, and they don’t like to hide from other people’s families when they see them poor. Now that they are well-off, everyone is stupid.
Aunt Cheng smiled deeper, flattery was almost written on her face, Gu Chaoming didn't understand these "sophisticated ways of the world", and didn't understand what she meant from Aunt Cheng's smile.
Aunt Cheng comforted the child and then looked at Gu Chaoming: "From now on, you have to bear with your father beating you. He is only your son, and he will not do anything to you. From now on..."
Aunt Cheng was holding the child and wanted to say that Gu Chaoming couldn't understand her flattering smile, but he could hear the meaning in her words. Gu Chaoming didn't want to hear any more, so he bypassed Aunt Cheng: "I don't know, I have something else to do, I have something to do." Go up first."
Aunt Cheng didn't finish her sentence, she looked up at Gu Chaoming's back upstairs and said disdainfully: "With money, everything becomes bigger."
Gu Chaoming stopped in front of his house, the shoe prints he kicked yesterday were still on the door, his departure and return seemed to be innocuous at all.
Want to find a new mother for him?Gu Chaoming snorted.
There is no incoming call notification or text message on the mobile phone, Gu Chaoming doesn't want to call Gu Tao anymore, calling him yesterday is so stupid that it can't be any more stupid.
Gu Chaoming clicked on the photo of the unlocked phone, called the unlocker and told him the address.
The master came quickly, chatting with Gu Chaoming while opening the door.
"I've seen you before."
"I changed your door lock last year."
Hearing what the master said, Gu Chaoming remembered where he had met him.
Last year, Gu Tao got drunk and didn't know what kind of crazy he was. When he came back in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door frantically when he came back with a key.
When Gu Chaoming was woken up by him, Gu Tao did not knock but kicked, kicking the door loudly, and when Gu Chaoming got up to open the door, neighbors were already yelling.
Only Gu Chaoming was at home alone, and when he opened the lock, he was greeted with a loud slap and the smell of alcohol on Gu Tao's body.Gu Zhaoming's hazy drowsiness completely disappeared in that slap just after waking up, and his anger blazed in the night.
Gu Chaoming clenched his fists to suppress the burning anger. Gu Tao didn't realize that his son was already in a rage. He calmly squeezed through the gap between Gu Chaoming and the door frame, which was blocking the door.
Gu Chaoming stood in front of the door, the burning pain on his face was still there, and before he could put out the anger in his heart, there were rustling sounds in the room.Gu Chaoming turned his head, the light in the living room was not turned on, and the moonlight pouring in was reflected on the silver hammer head.
Gu Tao carried the hammer head and was getting closer and closer with the smell of alcohol all over his body. Gu Chaoming was startled, and almost subconsciously defended himself back in panic.
Hitting the bone with a silver iron object is not at the same level as hitting the bone with a fist.
The moonlight was so strong that day that Gu Chaoming could clearly see the expression on Gu Tao's face and the thick muscles and veins on the arm that swung the hammer. The veins were tightly attached to Gu Tao's arm that swung the hammer like vines around a tree. superior.
When the hammer fell, Gu Chaoming backed away, in a hurry and haste, with an uncontrollable panic expression, and his chaotic back footsteps were restrained by the door frame.
In such a deep night, Gu Chaoming clearly saw the silver hammer draw an arc in the air.Maybe I'm going to die here today, this idea was forced out of my mind as soon as it was formed in my mind.
The center of gravity shifted, the body fell backwards, and the mind went blank, without any thoughts, only seeing Gu Tao's falling hammer head in the violently shaking sight.
He is too tall, and his center of gravity is unstable. The butt/butt acts as a buffer and lands first, followed by the palms.
His mind was turbulent and muddy, and his ears helped him catch the sound of iron objects colliding with each other.
The hammer that was swung did not fall on Gu Chaoming, but on the lock of the gate.
With one sound, the door lock wailed in pain in the night.
Gu Chaoming let go of his frowning eyebrows, suppressing his heart that paused when it fell and now is beating wildly
He was too embarrassed, so Gu Chaoming got up amidst the sound of Gu Tao's continuous pounding on the lock.
The sound of the hammer head colliding with the door lock was a death knell, startling the sensor lights in the corridor and starting the complaints of the neighbors.
Someone scolded, and someone rushed downstairs to curse.
Seeing that words were useless to this drunk man who only knows how to smash the door, the neighbors aimed their noisy words at Gu Chaoming who had just got up from the ground.
"Your dad is crazy! In the middle of the night, knock on the door to keep people from sleeping!"
"Get your dad in."
Gu Chaoming stood there helplessly, the sensor light on his head was always on because of Gu Tao's continuous slamming on the door and the constant scolding from the neighbors.
Men, women, old men, and old women in pajamas on the stairs kept talking and complaining.They stood on the stairs, opening and closing their mouths one by one, one sentence after another, pressing Gu Chaoming's fragile self-esteem to the deepest part of the soil, bringing out the shame to be punished in public.
The shadows of people on the stairs piled up one after another are chaotic, and the people on the lower steps step on the shadows of the people above.
The shadows swayed and the crowd was chaotic.
Gu Chaoming just stared at the shaking shadow.
Among the people in the hallway, under the indelible sensor lights, the 1.8-meter-five Gu Chaoming's shadow is only a small ball at his feet, just like his self-esteem, surrounded by the noisy tide of the outside world, and refuses to extend outward.
He is the one who can break You Xin's hand with a stool because his friend was bullied. He also has the impulsiveness and strength of a teenager, but now all these have disappeared, only the sense of shame is rampant, without any hindrance.
The neighbors were talking loudly, and all their words were directed at him, Gu Chaoming had no reason to be angry with them, they were just people who were woken up by Gu Tao and couldn't sleep well.Gu Chaoming didn't need to strip out a trace of reason from the shame, he didn't mean to hit back at the neighbors.He just felt like an animal in a zoo that was surrounded by people and couldn't make the right movements. The cells in his whole body were rushing out from the eyes staring at him and the mouth pointing at him, wanting to rush out of this body and escape. this embarrassing situation.
Gu Chaoming fled.
Domineeringly fled.
He clenched his fist and dropped a bombing grenade on the neighbors who were still firing their verbal cannons at him.
"It's so noisy!" Gu Chaoming shouted.
His chest didn't rise and fall because of the three words full of air.
Gu Chaoming is tall, and his appearance does not belong to the gentle category. The shadow of the light and the words he yelled out are even more gloomy, like a devil descending on the world.
Like the second Gu Tao.
The grenade exploded in the crowd, immediately razing the noise to the ground, and there was no sound.
Gu Chaoming strode down the stairs in a stillness that had not yet reacted, without turning his head.
Neighbors who hadn't recovered from God stood on the stairs and watched him go downstairs.
The sensor lights on the floors kept lighting up because of the sound of his footsteps. Floor by floor, it seemed like a hero's welcome flowers, and also like a will-o'-the-wisp where the devil walked.
Gu Chaoming knew that he had a bad temper and the neighbors were not wrong, but he still couldn't help his temper, he knew that his temper was more and more like Gu Tao.
He fled, escaped from that breathless land.
The night breeze was cool, and he was strolling around the neighborhood wearing only a black short sleeve and a pair of slippers.
After walking until his hands and feet were cold and the neighbors dispersed, Gu Chaoming stepped up the stairs. It was still the same light that greeted him when he went downstairs, lighting up layer by layer and then dimming layer by layer.
The corridor was quiet, and the sound of Gu Tao's thumping on the lock also threw the night away, only the sound of him going upstairs.
The hammer is ruthless, the fragile door lock has been smashed by the violence, Gu Chaoming closes the door that cannot be locked, and Gu Tao sleeps on the sofa in the living room.
Gu Chaoming put his hands under Gu Tao's armpits, dragged the unconscious Gu Tao back to the room, covered him with a quilt, closed the door, and blocked the door with a heavy object, and sighed while looking at the broken lock.
Going away in the dark night, the farce of the night stopped, and the sequelae left by the farce did not delay.
The next day, the news of Gu Chaoming yelling at people spread throughout the community, serving as an after-dinner chat for people in the community.
"Sick like his father."
This sentence came from someone who didn't know, and passed into Gu Chaoming's ears through various channels.Gu Chaoming learned Cen Xili's attitude of not paying attention.
Whether you listen to those gossips or not, the world is still going the same way.
Gu Chaoming didn't spend any money to repair the door lock, and Gu Tao didn't know what kind of madness he was going to ask someone to change the door lock.
When Gu Chaoming returned home, Gu Tao was still studying the new lock and threw him a new key.
Gu Chaoming did not see the process of changing the locks, but only vaguely remembered that when he returned home from school and went upstairs, he walked by a man who looked like a lock repairer, just a passerby, and Gu Chaoming didn't care.
That day passed by in a hurry, and after a year, the lock picker replaced the new lock he installed a year ago.
After changing the lock, the master gave Gu Chaoming two keys. After paying the money, Gu Chaoming closed the door and entered the house.
The furnishings are still the same, without any trace of being touched, only the 100 yuan he pressed on the coffee table in the morning has disappeared.
After closing the newly changed door lock, Gu Chaoming hesitated and sent a text message to Gu Tao telling him to change the lock, so that Gu Tao would not go crazy again.
It was still early to arrive at the restaurant that Qu Yingyi had agreed upon, and Gu Chaoming was not familiar with this restaurant at all, he had only been there once, and it was when Qu Yingyi came home suddenly to bring him here for his birthday last year.
He was so happy that he sat on the chair like a fool. After all, it was his birthday, which only comes once a year.
Sitting in this restaurant again, Qu Yingyi was late.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, and the pointer of time moves a small space. Expectation and loss are like rock-paper-scissors playing when you were young, going down the stairs.
When the pointer rotates one space, you will go down the ladder. Lost is too good at playing rock-paper-scissors, always winning, step by step towards victory, and looking forward to still standing at the very beginning of the game.
It's not that expectations are receding, it's that disappointments are accumulating.
Qu Yingyi fixed the position by the window, the huge transparent glass window can overlook the surrounding scenery very well, when looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, Qu Yingyi called and said that he was coming soon, and there was a traffic jam on the road.
Hanging up the phone, Gu Chaoming turned on the camera and took a few photos of the river scene through the transparent glass window, and posted them in the group of Auspicious Three Treasures. Su Bing did not comment on the photos, but sent a link. From the name of the link, it can be seen that it is a movie tidbit. .
Gu Chaoming clicked in to watch it. It was a comedy, and the extras looked quite attractive.
Su Bing said, "Let's watch this movie together."
"When?" Gu Chaoming asked.
Su Bing: "The schedule hasn't been set yet, they said it's New Year's Day."
"Okay, let me know when it comes out." Gu Chaoming readily agreed.
After agreeing to watch a movie, Gu Chaoming clicked the back button, intending to continue watching the movie that he didn't finish yesterday.
When the page changed, Gu Chaoming's fingers switching software stopped suddenly.
The remarks of "Group Leader Lin" came into view.
The default font is square and square, and the strokes are hard and black. Every word seems to have no emotion by default.The hard four words were put together, and Lin Jianfan's appearance with red eyes was put together in front of Gu Chaoming's eyes.
Just seeing his name, thinking of his choked sobs last night, from suppressed to unrestrained crying, it has been a night, but my heart still seems to be affected by his choked sobs, and I feel distressed faintly.
He underestimated Lin Jianfan's lethality too much, like returning home after running around in the snowstorm for a long time, covered in cold, thinking that after he survived the snowstorm, he would no longer be afraid of the cold winter.When I woke up the next morning, when I opened the door, I was still shivering from the cold fog in the morning.
Everyone has a different understanding of feelings. Gu Chaoming is too stupid, as clumsy as he is, and the only way he cares about a person is because he doesn't want to see him sad, but only wants to see him smiling brightly.
It was the same for mother, and it was the same for Lin Jianfan.
As long as he smiled, he was happy, and when the corners of his mouth were bent, he was full of distress, not to mention that Lin Jianfan's cry was so close to his ear last night, every cry penetrated the eardrum and directly hit the heart.
The haziness of young people, the clumsiness of young people, the same young people only need to know that the other party may want to have dinner with you, then they can happily clear away all the clouds and jump up to take a bath.
Everything is the ignorant young man who can't see through himself, and everything is the clumsy Gu Chaoming.
The clumsy Gu Chaoming kept his finger on the column of Team Leader Lin, kissed the screen, the page changed quickly, and the chat interface opened.
After swiping through yesterday's chat history, Gu Chaoming pursed his lips and smiled, clicked on the photos he had just taken, rummaged through them, and prepared to choose the best one and send it to Lin Jianfan.
After the message was sent, Gu Chaoming, who was waiting for someone, raised his head again.
There is no further layer of loss.
"Morning."
Familiar voice, familiar face, before he raised his head, Qu Yingyi was still a few tables away from him, Gu Chaoming already knew that it was his mother who was walking.
But this time he was not as firm as usual, he suddenly felt a bit of hesitation, he wanted to make sure that even though he was separated from his mother, he still did not lose his unique ability as a son.He could still judge that it was Qu Yingyi from his footsteps and feeling, and he wanted to make sure that Qu Yingyi was still the mother he remembered.
All the unsteadiness, all the shaking came from another burst of footsteps mixed with Qu Yingyi's footsteps.
Unfamiliar footsteps.
Stepping on the clean floor does not have the calmness of an adult.
Qu Yingyi called him as cordially as before, with a smile on her face and an apology for being late and making him wait.
Gu Chaoming responded with a slight smile, this is not the way he imagined meeting each other.
He is 17 years old, 1.8 meters tall, not short, and he is not the age to act like a child to his mother, but the desire for maternal love does not decrease with age and height, the two are not linked .He also wanted to see his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time run up to give her a hug like other children, or go up to help her get things, hold his hand, and talk to her about what happened recently.
These are all beautiful ideas, but the moment Gu Chaoming saw his mother, Gu Chaoming's legs suddenly had their own ideas.It doesn't want to move, it's like pouring a thousand catties of molten iron, no matter how Gu Chaoming drives it, it won't obey.
Gu Chaoming couldn't lift his legs, even his smile was almost a little awkward and unnatural, the anticipation in his heart burst open, and the disappointment gathered during all the waiting time just now poured out from the crack, flowing across his heart.
Qu Yingyi didn't sit down after walking over, but first opened the chair next to her and hugged the person who made the unfamiliar footsteps onto the chair, bent down and softly told her not to move around, and then she opened the chair and sat down.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Qu Yingyi asked Gu Chaoming with a smile after sitting down, her tone was still the same as before, her eyebrows and eyes curved into the arc in Gu Chaoming's memory.
When moving the chair, Gu Chaoming saw the diamond ring on her index finger. It was something that Gu Tao never gave her, and it was also a sign that she belonged to another man.
Qu Yingyi compressed the original "I was stuck on the road for a while, I can't drive, and there is no one at home, so it took time to take a taxi" into "I was stuck in the road for a while, I can't drive, so I took a taxi".
Get rid of those sensitive words.
She was so guilty, guilty that she didn't take Gu Chaoming away, guilty that she was so cautious when she first met her.
Gu Chaoming on the opposite side hadn't managed his limbs yet, so he nodded with a smile: "It's okay."
His gaze slid from Qu Yingyi's delicately made-up face to the seat beside her.
The owner of the strange footsteps, the little girl who made his limbs paralyzed and his inner expectations shattered.
Qu Yingyi followed Gu Chaoming's gaze and looked at the little girl beside her. She raised her hand and touched the little girl's head, then turned her head and smiled and said to Gu Chaoming: "This is Yuanyuan, you should know it. Yuanyuan on the phone."
"There is no one at home. I can't leave her alone at home, so I brought her here."
Home, a word that Qu Yingyi tried her best to avoid but could not avoid.When the word "monk" was said, Qu Yingyi looked like a child who had made a mistake and had a guilty conscience, her eyes were shifted without being noticed.
When he saw Qu Yingyi walking towards him holding a little girl by the hand, Gu Chaoming had already guessed about the little girl.
This kind of guessing is not difficult, Gu Chaoming's mind is always sharp at such times.He always thought that he was stupid, and when his grades didn't improve no matter how hard he tried, he hoped that his IQ could be higher so that he could solve that question, but when he saw the little girl being led by Qu Yingyi, he And how I wish I was a little stupid, so stupid that I couldn't guess who the little girl was, so maybe I wouldn't have such a keen nerve, wouldn't be so keen on this kind of thing, so keen that I just thought of my mother coming to meet me with a Her child's heart surged into a sea, and his limbs were as stiff as lead.
When his eyes first touched the little girl, Gu Chaoming even had the illusion that he was abandoned again.
"Oh, it's okay." Gu Chaoming looked at Yuanyuan, with a big brother next door's trademark smile on his face, "So you are Yuanyuan."
Gu Chaoming wants to appear reasonable and sensible, so that his mother can feel at ease and not embarrass her.
"Yuanyuan, brother." Qu Yingyi patted Yuanyuan's back, leaned sideways, bent down and said close to the little girl named Yuanyuan.
The little girl wears two braids and a hairpin with a bow on one side.The face of a child of this age is always swollen, with baby fat that seems to be blowing, and a pair of big eyes under Qi Liuhai stare at Gu Chaoming motionlessly.
"Tell brother, is your name Yuanyuan?" Qu Yingyi said.
Circular nodded.
The corner of Gu Chaoming's lowered mouth lifted again, and he smiled and said, "Okay, your name is Yuanyuan, brother knows."
Yuanyuan blinked and asked Gu Chaoming, "What's the brother's name?"
Just as Gu Chaoming was about to speak, Qu Yingyi stepped forward and said to Yuanyuan: "Mom told you, have you forgotten?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, Gu Chaoming didn't know if she hadn't forgotten or if she had forgotten.
"Tell brother you know his name." Qu Yingyi said.
It seems that I have not forgotten.
"My brother's name is Gu Chaoming." Yuanyuan's voice was louder, very bright.
Gu Chaoming nodded and said, "Yes, so you know."
Yuanyuan grinned, and her two braids trembled because of her smile.
"Mom told Yuanyuan." Yuanyuan put her waist proudly.
Hearing the word mother from Yuanyuan's mouth, Gu Chaoming had thought of it a long time ago.It wasn't the first time he listened to it. He had pre-received the feeling of hearing another child call his mother "mom" for the first time through the phone. He was also prepared, and he would not be as hypocritical as the last time just because of the word "mom". .
Gu Chaoming smiled at Yuanyuan's mother, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Yuanyuan likes you very much." Qu Yingyi whispered to Gu Chaoming.
Really?It is always a pleasure to be loved by someone, be it a child or an adult.
Yuanyuan really likes him, and Gu Chaoming discovered it while eating.
It's not a general liking, it's a liking that can treat him like a real brother.
While Gu Chaoming was eating, Yuanyuan, a young adult in kindergarten, stretched out her chubby little hand and pointed at the dish in front of her with chopsticks.
Gu Chaoming thought it was because the dishes were too far away and she wanted to help her pick them up, so she picked up the dish pointed round by a chopstick, and heard Qu Yingyi educate her: "If you want my brother to pick up the dishes for you, you have to call someone, it's impolite not to call .”
"It's okay." Gu Chaoming smiled, and stretched out his hand to put the vegetables into the round bowl.
Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan withdrew her hand holding the bowl, and backed away with the bowl.
Qu Yingyi was a little angry when she saw Yuanyuan's receding bowl, her child never did this outside before.Yuanyuan has always been a very worry-free child, very lively and not afraid of strangers, it is very convenient to carry around, but for some reason today, she is suddenly so disobedient.
"My brother brought you food, what should you do?" Qu Yingyi's tone became cold, and she asked seriously.
Qu Yingyi usually talks to her in a gentle and gentle manner, and only uses such a serious tone when she is angry.
Yuanyuan heard that Qu Yingyi was angry, and quickly raised her little hand to push the bowl over, still stubborn: "I don't want it."
"Then what are you going to do?" Qu Yingyi's voice was obviously filled with anger, not fierce, but it could let the people sitting at the table know that someone did something wrong.
Yuanyuan pursed her mouth, and her two already big eyes widened even further, looking aggrieved.
At the friendly dinner table, Gu Chaoming didn't want anyone to be angry, so he asked Yuanyuan in a soft tone, "What do you want?"
Yuanyuan loosened her twisted mouth, as if she was extremely wronged: "I want to bring food for my brother."
Give me food?Hearing this sentence from the mouth of the kindergarten children, Gu Chaoming was startled, and then laughed.
He inadvertently received a piece of pure kindness.
Not only Gu Chaoming was shocked by Yuanyuan's words, but also Qu Yingyi, her reproachful eyes turned into surprise, and then softened after the surprise.
Qu Yingyi patted Yuanyuan's head: "It seems that Mom has wronged you."
Qu Yingyi's gentle appearance fell into Gu Chaoming's eyes. He has a bad memory and can't remember most things when he was young, but he believes that Qu Yingyi must have taught himself this way.
Now she is using the same method to teach other children, Gu Chaoming smiled, a scene where he should only smile, but another kind of emotion arose in his heart.
In the vast sea of smoke, calm and without waves, breaking into a lone boat is out of season.
That lonely boat is Gu Chaoming at this time.
He used to walk on a deserted road with only the sound of crows, and there was no end in sight, but now he was floating on the water, surrounded by beautiful scenery, but he was a lonely boat that broke into it at an untimely time.
The two different pictures and completely different scenes correspond to Gu Chaoming's two different feelings between Gu Tao and Qu Yingyi.
There is no end to the barren road, he just wants to be a traveler, just a way, but he is trapped, and he can't escape even if he wants to escape.
The lonely boat on the water, the vast mist, the scenery is very good, he wants to stay, but the flowing water is ruthless, he is destined to be just a passerby.
The traveler is trapped, and the lonely boat does not stop. Is the journey intentional?Or is it the powerlessness of running water?
Gu Chaoming once thought that his home was nothing more than his original home, or he would be taken away by Qu Yingyi, and his fate would choose one for him.
But Qu Yingyi only gave him a phone call to sentence him to hell on the spot, and fate chose Gu Tao for him.
He is not reconciled to his fate, so he has come to the point where he doesn't want to go home, but wants to live with Gu Tao, and wants to follow Qu Yingyi, but it's just a dream.
Caught in the gap between the two, Gu Chaoming was unwilling to accept the choice made by fate, so he cast his choice on the future, on the summer of his senior year in high school.
It must have been a nice and bright summer day.
Regardless of whether Gu Tao knows which university he is applying for, whether or not his grades are on Cen Xili's shoulders, and there is still time, everything is still uncertain. That is the most beautiful appearance of that summer in the future that has not yet come.
There are many more dishes in Gu Chaoming's bowl, which are children's taste.
After Yuanyuan finished eating, she whispered to Qu Yingyi, Qu Yingyi nodded, and helped Yuanyuan pull out the chair: "If you want to go, go there by yourself."
Yuanyuan jumped off the chair, trotted all the way around the table, ran to Gu Chaoming's side and offered him a hug.
Gu Chaoming looked at her, with his chubby arms stretched out, his fleshy palms stretched out towards him, with a bright smile on his face.
Gu Chaoming was flattered by her love for no reason.
"Get ready to fly!" Gu Chaoming smiled cheerfully, lifted Yuanyuan up, carried Yuanyuan onto the chair, and after she sat down, said, "Successfully landed."
Yuanyuan giggled, her big white teeth were straight, her big eyes curved into a smile.
Yuanyuan smiled and raised her small fleshy hand, Gu Chaoming also extended his hand, and the big hand touched the small hand, making a sound of celebration.
The 17-year-old Gu Chaoming hid her loss and stiffness very well, and Qu Yingyi, who is over forty years old, buried her worries deeper, buried in her usual smile after seeing her son.
She has a new daughter, but she still misses her former son in her heart.
Qu Yingyi thought it might be because she divorced without telling him and gave up his custody rights, so Gu Chaoming had a gap with herself in her heart, and the number of calls to her became less and less. Still full of concern.
Life is gradually separated, and it is normal to have gaps.
She didn't have much time and energy to care about Gu Chaoming, and she made an appointment with Gu Chaoming to see him on Sunday. Qu Yingyi didn't want to express her concern only with money. Pull further.
What Gu Chaoming needs is companionship. Qu Yingyi dare not say how much time she spent with Gu Chaoming in the past, but now she really doesn't have any time to spend with him, so taking advantage of this meeting, she wants to spend more time with him. Talk to Gu Chaoming, take him to the places he wants to go, and talk about his recent situation.
As soon as they agreed to meet on Sunday, Qu Yingyi had already made a schedule in his mind, where he could go, and where Gu Chaoming liked to eat before.
She recalled the restaurant she took him to for his birthday last year, and he seemed to like it a lot.Because Gu Chaoming talked a lot that day and laughed happily.
Qu Yingyi defines these as the reasons why Gu Chaoming likes this restaurant.
Looking at the "red buttocks" lined up in front of her, Qu Yingyi was holding the phone, Qu Yingyi felt more and more burdened in her heart, full of shame, she was about to be unable to bear it.
As the mother of two children herself, Qu Yingyi sat in the car and turned to look at Yuanyuan beside her.Yuanyuan was wearing a seat belt and didn't know what she was worrying about, so she looked at her and smiled at her foolishly.
Qu Yingyi touched Yuanyuan's head affectionately, she knew that Yuanyuan was lively and not afraid of people, but Gu Chaoming was not like that.
My own children know that even though Gu Chaoming is tall and burly, he is actually very sensitive inside, not to mention that he is 17 years old and is in his adolescence. Children of this age are more sensitive to things around them than other age groups. levels that cannot be reached.
Children's minds are immature, and they don't have that deep feeling for things. After adolescence, they enter the society and have the accumulation of age. If a house has a foundation, it is not so easy to collapse, and adolescence carries all the confusion, yearning, expectation, Exploring the world, stepping out of the arms of his parents with his immature heart, to perceive this new world by himself.
Gu Chaoming started out with pain. Gu Tao's existence has already made Gu Chaoming's childhood incomplete. Qu Yingyi hopes that at least Gu Chaoming's youth will be the same as others in his later days, it is the youthfulness of youth. , it is the reluctance to look directly at the scandalous things he has done, the regret of not completing things, not the estrangement with his mother and the beating of Gu Tao.
The shadow of childhood made Gu Chaoming more sensitive than children of the same age. Qu Yingyi was afraid that Gu Chaoming would not accept Yuanyuan, and that this meal, which was originally intended to shorten the distance, would create a wider river between them.
Fortunately, what she was worried about didn't happen, Yuanyuan was lively and shy, and Gu Chaoming was reasonable, all worries disappeared completely in Gu Chaoming's bright smile.
She looked at Gu Chaoming, who was laughing across the way, and the burden in her heart finally eased a little.
One dining table, three diners, two families are intertwined, mother and son have their own concerns, only Yuanyuan, who is carefree in kindergarten, eats wholeheartedly and seriously.

Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: 419370731;
Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 10 bottles of teeth; 419370734 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
After some thinking, Gu Chaoming decided to go home and take a look before going to see his mother. If the door was opened at home, he would ask Gu Tao for the key and then go to get a key.If Gu Tao didn't come back, he would call a lock picker to open the door and replace it with a new lock.
When going upstairs, he paid special attention to the small advertisement of the lockpicker on the wall, and Gu Chaoming took out his mobile phone to take a photo.
Just after taking the photo, there was a sharp cry from the building, the cry of a child, resounding through the sky and through the whole building.
Gu Chaoming went upstairs stepping on the crying of the child, and saw Aunt Cheng who came downstairs after walking a few steps.
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, and you run out to play before you finish your homework." Aunt Cheng raised her hand, and when she heard the sound of someone going upstairs, she turned her head and saw Gu Chaoming who was about to pass by quietly.
Seeing Gu Chaoming, Aunt Cheng's stern look on her face when she taught her children a lesson turned into a kind smile: "Chaoming is back? I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your dad got rich recently?"
Originally, Gu Chaoming just wanted to deal with Auntie Cheng with a polite smile and went upstairs, but when he heard Auntie Cheng's words, Gu Chaoming stopped in his tracks.
"Get rich?" Gu Chaoming's tone was filled with doubts, nothing else.
What kind of money did Gu Tao make?
"You don't know yet? He said it himself when he was playing mahjong a few days ago. He said that a friend took him into business and made a lot of money. He even said that he would play mahjong for hundreds of dollars. Everyone laughed at him for bragging. If he hit him, he said those people didn’t know anything.”
Gu Chaoming stood there without making a sound, and Aunt Cheng came over and said, "I think your father is really lucky. He was unlucky in the past few years, and good luck turns around. You are also lucky and followed your father. You won’t have to worry about the good times in the future, your father also said that he will find you a new mother, and if he finds a new mother, he will change the house.”
Gu Tao did say these words when he was playing mahjong, but Aunt Cheng just omitted Gu Tao's scolding of Qu Yingyi later, for fear that Gu Chaoming would not be happy if he heard it.
Gu Tao said in the store that he drank alcohol when he got rich, and Aunt Cheng was watching them playing mahjong. She didn't know whether it was Gu Tao's drunken words or the truth, so she happened to meet Gu Chaoming today and hurriedly asked.If it's true, I used to take such good care of the two of them, and I paid so much on credit with her, and I greeted them with a smile, so I can't forget her when I get rich.
Aunt Cheng is quite proud of herself, thinking that she has a vision. People in the corridor are all snobbish, and they don’t like to hide from other people’s families when they see them poor. Now that they are well-off, everyone is stupid.
Aunt Cheng smiled deeper, flattery was almost written on her face, Gu Chaoming didn't understand these "sophisticated ways of the world", and didn't understand what she meant from Aunt Cheng's smile.
Aunt Cheng comforted the child and then looked at Gu Chaoming: "From now on, you have to bear with your father beating you. He is only your son, and he will not do anything to you. From now on..."
Aunt Cheng was holding the child and wanted to say that Gu Chaoming couldn't understand her flattering smile, but he could hear the meaning in her words. Gu Chaoming didn't want to hear any more, so he bypassed Aunt Cheng: "I don't know, I have something else to do, I have something to do." Go up first."
Aunt Cheng didn't finish her sentence, she looked up at Gu Chaoming's back upstairs and said disdainfully: "With money, everything becomes bigger."
Gu Chaoming stopped in front of his house, the shoe prints he kicked yesterday were still on the door, his departure and return seemed to be innocuous at all.
Want to find a new mother for him?Gu Chaoming snorted.
There is no incoming call notification or text message on the mobile phone, Gu Chaoming doesn't want to call Gu Tao anymore, calling him yesterday is so stupid that it can't be any more stupid.
Gu Chaoming clicked on the photo of the unlocked phone, called the unlocker and told him the address.
The master came quickly, chatting with Gu Chaoming while opening the door.
"I've seen you before."
"I changed your door lock last year."
Hearing what the master said, Gu Chaoming remembered where he had met him.
Last year, Gu Tao got drunk and didn't know what kind of crazy he was. When he came back in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door frantically when he came back with a key.
When Gu Chaoming was woken up by him, Gu Tao did not knock but kicked, kicking the door loudly, and when Gu Chaoming got up to open the door, neighbors were already yelling.
Only Gu Chaoming was at home alone, and when he opened the lock, he was greeted with a loud slap and the smell of alcohol on Gu Tao's body.Gu Zhaoming's hazy drowsiness completely disappeared in that slap just after waking up, and his anger blazed in the night.
Gu Chaoming clenched his fists to suppress the burning anger. Gu Tao didn't realize that his son was already in a rage. He calmly squeezed through the gap between Gu Chaoming and the door frame, which was blocking the door.
Gu Chaoming stood in front of the door, the burning pain on his face was still there, and before he could put out the anger in his heart, there were rustling sounds in the room.Gu Chaoming turned his head, the light in the living room was not turned on, and the moonlight pouring in was reflected on the silver hammer head.
Gu Tao carried the hammer head and was getting closer and closer with the smell of alcohol all over his body. Gu Chaoming was startled, and almost subconsciously defended himself back in panic.
Hitting the bone with a silver iron object is not at the same level as hitting the bone with a fist.
The moonlight was so strong that day that Gu Chaoming could clearly see the expression on Gu Tao's face and the thick muscles and veins on the arm that swung the hammer. The veins were tightly attached to Gu Tao's arm that swung the hammer like vines around a tree. superior.
When the hammer fell, Gu Chaoming backed away, in a hurry and haste, with an uncontrollable panic expression, and his chaotic back footsteps were restrained by the door frame.
In such a deep night, Gu Chaoming clearly saw the silver hammer draw an arc in the air.Maybe I'm going to die here today, this idea was forced out of my mind as soon as it was formed in my mind.
The center of gravity shifted, the body fell backwards, and the mind went blank, without any thoughts, only seeing Gu Tao's falling hammer head in the violently shaking sight.
He is too tall, and his center of gravity is unstable. The butt/butt acts as a buffer and lands first, followed by the palms.
His mind was turbulent and muddy, and his ears helped him catch the sound of iron objects colliding with each other.
The hammer that was swung did not fall on Gu Chaoming, but on the lock of the gate.
With one sound, the door lock wailed in pain in the night.
Gu Chaoming let go of his frowning eyebrows, suppressing his heart that paused when it fell and now is beating wildly
He was too embarrassed, so Gu Chaoming got up amidst the sound of Gu Tao's continuous pounding on the lock.
The sound of the hammer head colliding with the door lock was a death knell, startling the sensor lights in the corridor and starting the complaints of the neighbors.
Someone scolded, and someone rushed downstairs to curse.
Seeing that words were useless to this drunk man who only knows how to smash the door, the neighbors aimed their noisy words at Gu Chaoming who had just got up from the ground.
"Your dad is crazy! In the middle of the night, knock on the door to keep people from sleeping!"
"Get your dad in."
Gu Chaoming stood there helplessly, the sensor light on his head was always on because of Gu Tao's continuous slamming on the door and the constant scolding from the neighbors.
Men, women, old men, and old women in pajamas on the stairs kept talking and complaining.They stood on the stairs, opening and closing their mouths one by one, one sentence after another, pressing Gu Chaoming's fragile self-esteem to the deepest part of the soil, bringing out the shame to be punished in public.
The shadows of people on the stairs piled up one after another are chaotic, and the people on the lower steps step on the shadows of the people above.
The shadows swayed and the crowd was chaotic.
Gu Chaoming just stared at the shaking shadow.
Among the people in the hallway, under the indelible sensor lights, the 1.8-meter-five Gu Chaoming's shadow is only a small ball at his feet, just like his self-esteem, surrounded by the noisy tide of the outside world, and refuses to extend outward.
He is the one who can break You Xin's hand with a stool because his friend was bullied. He also has the impulsiveness and strength of a teenager, but now all these have disappeared, only the sense of shame is rampant, without any hindrance.
The neighbors were talking loudly, and all their words were directed at him, Gu Chaoming had no reason to be angry with them, they were just people who were woken up by Gu Tao and couldn't sleep well.Gu Chaoming didn't need to strip out a trace of reason from the shame, he didn't mean to hit back at the neighbors.He just felt like an animal in a zoo that was surrounded by people and couldn't make the right movements. The cells in his whole body were rushing out from the eyes staring at him and the mouth pointing at him, wanting to rush out of this body and escape. this embarrassing situation.
Gu Chaoming fled.
Domineeringly fled.
He clenched his fist and dropped a bombing grenade on the neighbors who were still firing their verbal cannons at him.
"It's so noisy!" Gu Chaoming shouted.
His chest didn't rise and fall because of the three words full of air.
Gu Chaoming is tall, and his appearance does not belong to the gentle category. The shadow of the light and the words he yelled out are even more gloomy, like a devil descending on the world.
Like the second Gu Tao.
The grenade exploded in the crowd, immediately razing the noise to the ground, and there was no sound.
Gu Chaoming strode down the stairs in a stillness that had not yet reacted, without turning his head.
Neighbors who hadn't recovered from God stood on the stairs and watched him go downstairs.
The sensor lights on the floors kept lighting up because of the sound of his footsteps. Floor by floor, it seemed like a hero's welcome flowers, and also like a will-o'-the-wisp where the devil walked.
Gu Chaoming knew that he had a bad temper and the neighbors were not wrong, but he still couldn't help his temper, he knew that his temper was more and more like Gu Tao.
He fled, escaped from that breathless land.
The night breeze was cool, and he was strolling around the neighborhood wearing only a black short sleeve and a pair of slippers.
After walking until his hands and feet were cold and the neighbors dispersed, Gu Chaoming stepped up the stairs. It was still the same light that greeted him when he went downstairs, lighting up layer by layer and then dimming layer by layer.
The corridor was quiet, and the sound of Gu Tao's thumping on the lock also threw the night away, only the sound of him going upstairs.
The hammer is ruthless, the fragile door lock has been smashed by the violence, Gu Chaoming closes the door that cannot be locked, and Gu Tao sleeps on the sofa in the living room.
Gu Chaoming put his hands under Gu Tao's armpits, dragged the unconscious Gu Tao back to the room, covered him with a quilt, closed the door, and blocked the door with a heavy object, and sighed while looking at the broken lock.
Going away in the dark night, the farce of the night stopped, and the sequelae left by the farce did not delay.
The next day, the news of Gu Chaoming yelling at people spread throughout the community, serving as an after-dinner chat for people in the community.
"Sick like his father."
This sentence came from someone who didn't know, and passed into Gu Chaoming's ears through various channels.Gu Chaoming learned Cen Xili's attitude of not paying attention.
Whether you listen to those gossips or not, the world is still going the same way.
Gu Chaoming didn't spend any money to repair the door lock, and Gu Tao didn't know what kind of madness he was going to ask someone to change the door lock.
When Gu Chaoming returned home, Gu Tao was still studying the new lock and threw him a new key.
Gu Chaoming did not see the process of changing the locks, but only vaguely remembered that when he returned home from school and went upstairs, he walked by a man who looked like a lock repairer, just a passerby, and Gu Chaoming didn't care.
That day passed by in a hurry, and after a year, the lock picker replaced the new lock he installed a year ago.
After changing the lock, the master gave Gu Chaoming two keys. After paying the money, Gu Chaoming closed the door and entered the house.
The furnishings are still the same, without any trace of being touched, only the 100 yuan he pressed on the coffee table in the morning has disappeared.
After closing the newly changed door lock, Gu Chaoming hesitated and sent a text message to Gu Tao telling him to change the lock, so that Gu Tao would not go crazy again.
It was still early to arrive at the restaurant that Qu Yingyi had agreed upon, and Gu Chaoming was not familiar with this restaurant at all, he had only been there once, and it was when Qu Yingyi came home suddenly to bring him here for his birthday last year.
He was so happy that he sat on the chair like a fool. After all, it was his birthday, which only comes once a year.
Sitting in this restaurant again, Qu Yingyi was late.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, and the pointer of time moves a small space. Expectation and loss are like rock-paper-scissors playing when you were young, going down the stairs.
When the pointer rotates one space, you will go down the ladder. Lost is too good at playing rock-paper-scissors, always winning, step by step towards victory, and looking forward to still standing at the very beginning of the game.
It's not that expectations are receding, it's that disappointments are accumulating.
Qu Yingyi fixed the position by the window, the huge transparent glass window can overlook the surrounding scenery very well, when looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, Qu Yingyi called and said that he was coming soon, and there was a traffic jam on the road.
Hanging up the phone, Gu Chaoming turned on the camera and took a few photos of the river scene through the transparent glass window, and posted them in the group of Auspicious Three Treasures. Su Bing did not comment on the photos, but sent a link. From the name of the link, it can be seen that it is a movie tidbit. .
Gu Chaoming clicked in to watch it. It was a comedy, and the extras looked quite attractive.
Su Bing said, "Let's watch this movie together."
"When?" Gu Chaoming asked.
Su Bing: "The schedule hasn't been set yet, they said it's New Year's Day."
"Okay, let me know when it comes out." Gu Chaoming readily agreed.
After agreeing to watch a movie, Gu Chaoming clicked the back button, intending to continue watching the movie that he didn't finish yesterday.
When the page changed, Gu Chaoming's fingers switching software stopped suddenly.
The remarks of "Group Leader Lin" came into view.
The default font is square and square, and the strokes are hard and black. Every word seems to have no emotion by default.The hard four words were put together, and Lin Jianfan's appearance with red eyes was put together in front of Gu Chaoming's eyes.
Just seeing his name, thinking of his choked sobs last night, from suppressed to unrestrained crying, it has been a night, but my heart still seems to be affected by his choked sobs, and I feel distressed faintly.
He underestimated Lin Jianfan's lethality too much, like returning home after running around in the snowstorm for a long time, covered in cold, thinking that after he survived the snowstorm, he would no longer be afraid of the cold winter.When I woke up the next morning, when I opened the door, I was still shivering from the cold fog in the morning.
Everyone has a different understanding of feelings. Gu Chaoming is too stupid, as clumsy as he is, and the only way he cares about a person is because he doesn't want to see him sad, but only wants to see him smiling brightly.
It was the same for mother, and it was the same for Lin Jianfan.
As long as he smiled, he was happy, and when the corners of his mouth were bent, he was full of distress, not to mention that Lin Jianfan's cry was so close to his ear last night, every cry penetrated the eardrum and directly hit the heart.
The haziness of young people, the clumsiness of young people, the same young people only need to know that the other party may want to have dinner with you, then they can happily clear away all the clouds and jump up to take a bath.
Everything is the ignorant young man who can't see through himself, and everything is the clumsy Gu Chaoming.
The clumsy Gu Chaoming kept his finger on the column of Team Leader Lin, kissed the screen, the page changed quickly, and the chat interface opened.
After swiping through yesterday's chat history, Gu Chaoming pursed his lips and smiled, clicked on the photos he had just taken, rummaged through them, and prepared to choose the best one and send it to Lin Jianfan.
After the message was sent, Gu Chaoming, who was waiting for someone, raised his head again.
There is no further layer of loss.
"Morning."
Familiar voice, familiar face, before he raised his head, Qu Yingyi was still a few tables away from him, Gu Chaoming already knew that it was his mother who was walking.
But this time he was not as firm as usual, he suddenly felt a bit of hesitation, he wanted to make sure that even though he was separated from his mother, he still did not lose his unique ability as a son.He could still judge that it was Qu Yingyi from his footsteps and feeling, and he wanted to make sure that Qu Yingyi was still the mother he remembered.
All the unsteadiness, all the shaking came from another burst of footsteps mixed with Qu Yingyi's footsteps.
Unfamiliar footsteps.
Stepping on the clean floor does not have the calmness of an adult.
Qu Yingyi called him as cordially as before, with a smile on her face and an apology for being late and making him wait.
Gu Chaoming responded with a slight smile, this is not the way he imagined meeting each other.
He is 17 years old, 1.8 meters tall, not short, and he is not the age to act like a child to his mother, but the desire for maternal love does not decrease with age and height, the two are not linked .He also wanted to see his mother whom he hadn't seen for a long time run up to give her a hug like other children, or go up to help her get things, hold his hand, and talk to her about what happened recently.
These are all beautiful ideas, but the moment Gu Chaoming saw his mother, Gu Chaoming's legs suddenly had their own ideas.It doesn't want to move, it's like pouring a thousand catties of molten iron, no matter how Gu Chaoming drives it, it won't obey.
Gu Chaoming couldn't lift his legs, even his smile was almost a little awkward and unnatural, the anticipation in his heart burst open, and the disappointment gathered during all the waiting time just now poured out from the crack, flowing across his heart.
Qu Yingyi didn't sit down after walking over, but first opened the chair next to her and hugged the person who made the unfamiliar footsteps onto the chair, bent down and softly told her not to move around, and then she opened the chair and sat down.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Qu Yingyi asked Gu Chaoming with a smile after sitting down, her tone was still the same as before, her eyebrows and eyes curved into the arc in Gu Chaoming's memory.
When moving the chair, Gu Chaoming saw the diamond ring on her index finger. It was something that Gu Tao never gave her, and it was also a sign that she belonged to another man.
Qu Yingyi compressed the original "I was stuck on the road for a while, I can't drive, and there is no one at home, so it took time to take a taxi" into "I was stuck in the road for a while, I can't drive, so I took a taxi".
Get rid of those sensitive words.
She was so guilty, guilty that she didn't take Gu Chaoming away, guilty that she was so cautious when she first met her.
Gu Chaoming on the opposite side hadn't managed his limbs yet, so he nodded with a smile: "It's okay."
His gaze slid from Qu Yingyi's delicately made-up face to the seat beside her.
The owner of the strange footsteps, the little girl who made his limbs paralyzed and his inner expectations shattered.
Qu Yingyi followed Gu Chaoming's gaze and looked at the little girl beside her. She raised her hand and touched the little girl's head, then turned her head and smiled and said to Gu Chaoming: "This is Yuanyuan, you should know it. Yuanyuan on the phone."
"There is no one at home. I can't leave her alone at home, so I brought her here."
Home, a word that Qu Yingyi tried her best to avoid but could not avoid.When the word "monk" was said, Qu Yingyi looked like a child who had made a mistake and had a guilty conscience, her eyes were shifted without being noticed.
When he saw Qu Yingyi walking towards him holding a little girl by the hand, Gu Chaoming had already guessed about the little girl.
This kind of guessing is not difficult, Gu Chaoming's mind is always sharp at such times.He always thought that he was stupid, and when his grades didn't improve no matter how hard he tried, he hoped that his IQ could be higher so that he could solve that question, but when he saw the little girl being led by Qu Yingyi, he And how I wish I was a little stupid, so stupid that I couldn't guess who the little girl was, so maybe I wouldn't have such a keen nerve, wouldn't be so keen on this kind of thing, so keen that I just thought of my mother coming to meet me with a Her child's heart surged into a sea, and his limbs were as stiff as lead.
When his eyes first touched the little girl, Gu Chaoming even had the illusion that he was abandoned again.
"Oh, it's okay." Gu Chaoming looked at Yuanyuan, with a big brother next door's trademark smile on his face, "So you are Yuanyuan."
Gu Chaoming wants to appear reasonable and sensible, so that his mother can feel at ease and not embarrass her.
"Yuanyuan, brother." Qu Yingyi patted Yuanyuan's back, leaned sideways, bent down and said close to the little girl named Yuanyuan.
The little girl wears two braids and a hairpin with a bow on one side.The face of a child of this age is always swollen, with baby fat that seems to be blowing, and a pair of big eyes under Qi Liuhai stare at Gu Chaoming motionlessly.
"Tell brother, is your name Yuanyuan?" Qu Yingyi said.
Circular nodded.
The corner of Gu Chaoming's lowered mouth lifted again, and he smiled and said, "Okay, your name is Yuanyuan, brother knows."
Yuanyuan blinked and asked Gu Chaoming, "What's the brother's name?"
Just as Gu Chaoming was about to speak, Qu Yingyi stepped forward and said to Yuanyuan: "Mom told you, have you forgotten?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, Gu Chaoming didn't know if she hadn't forgotten or if she had forgotten.
"Tell brother you know his name." Qu Yingyi said.
It seems that I have not forgotten.
"My brother's name is Gu Chaoming." Yuanyuan's voice was louder, very bright.
Gu Chaoming nodded and said, "Yes, so you know."
Yuanyuan grinned, and her two braids trembled because of her smile.
"Mom told Yuanyuan." Yuanyuan put her waist proudly.
Hearing the word mother from Yuanyuan's mouth, Gu Chaoming had thought of it a long time ago.It wasn't the first time he listened to it. He had pre-received the feeling of hearing another child call his mother "mom" for the first time through the phone. He was also prepared, and he would not be as hypocritical as the last time just because of the word "mom". .
Gu Chaoming smiled at Yuanyuan's mother, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Yuanyuan likes you very much." Qu Yingyi whispered to Gu Chaoming.
Really?It is always a pleasure to be loved by someone, be it a child or an adult.
Yuanyuan really likes him, and Gu Chaoming discovered it while eating.
It's not a general liking, it's a liking that can treat him like a real brother.
While Gu Chaoming was eating, Yuanyuan, a young adult in kindergarten, stretched out her chubby little hand and pointed at the dish in front of her with chopsticks.
Gu Chaoming thought it was because the dishes were too far away and she wanted to help her pick them up, so she picked up the dish pointed round by a chopstick, and heard Qu Yingyi educate her: "If you want my brother to pick up the dishes for you, you have to call someone, it's impolite not to call .”
"It's okay." Gu Chaoming smiled, and stretched out his hand to put the vegetables into the round bowl.
Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan withdrew her hand holding the bowl, and backed away with the bowl.
Qu Yingyi was a little angry when she saw Yuanyuan's receding bowl, her child never did this outside before.Yuanyuan has always been a very worry-free child, very lively and not afraid of strangers, it is very convenient to carry around, but for some reason today, she is suddenly so disobedient.
"My brother brought you food, what should you do?" Qu Yingyi's tone became cold, and she asked seriously.
Qu Yingyi usually talks to her in a gentle and gentle manner, and only uses such a serious tone when she is angry.
Yuanyuan heard that Qu Yingyi was angry, and quickly raised her little hand to push the bowl over, still stubborn: "I don't want it."
"Then what are you going to do?" Qu Yingyi's voice was obviously filled with anger, not fierce, but it could let the people sitting at the table know that someone did something wrong.
Yuanyuan pursed her mouth, and her two already big eyes widened even further, looking aggrieved.
At the friendly dinner table, Gu Chaoming didn't want anyone to be angry, so he asked Yuanyuan in a soft tone, "What do you want?"
Yuanyuan loosened her twisted mouth, as if she was extremely wronged: "I want to bring food for my brother."
Give me food?Hearing this sentence from the mouth of the kindergarten children, Gu Chaoming was startled, and then laughed.
He inadvertently received a piece of pure kindness.
Not only Gu Chaoming was shocked by Yuanyuan's words, but also Qu Yingyi, her reproachful eyes turned into surprise, and then softened after the surprise.
Qu Yingyi patted Yuanyuan's head: "It seems that Mom has wronged you."
Qu Yingyi's gentle appearance fell into Gu Chaoming's eyes. He has a bad memory and can't remember most things when he was young, but he believes that Qu Yingyi must have taught himself this way.
Now she is using the same method to teach other children, Gu Chaoming smiled, a scene where he should only smile, but another kind of emotion arose in his heart.
In the vast sea of smoke, calm and without waves, breaking into a lone boat is out of season.
That lonely boat is Gu Chaoming at this time.
He used to walk on a deserted road with only the sound of crows, and there was no end in sight, but now he was floating on the water, surrounded by beautiful scenery, but he was a lonely boat that broke into it at an untimely time.
The two different pictures and completely different scenes correspond to Gu Chaoming's two different feelings between Gu Tao and Qu Yingyi.
There is no end to the barren road, he just wants to be a traveler, just a way, but he is trapped, and he can't escape even if he wants to escape.
The lonely boat on the water, the vast mist, the scenery is very good, he wants to stay, but the flowing water is ruthless, he is destined to be just a passerby.
The traveler is trapped, and the lonely boat does not stop. Is the journey intentional?Or is it the powerlessness of running water?
Gu Chaoming once thought that his home was nothing more than his original home, or he would be taken away by Qu Yingyi, and his fate would choose one for him.
But Qu Yingyi only gave him a phone call to sentence him to hell on the spot, and fate chose Gu Tao for him.
He is not reconciled to his fate, so he has come to the point where he doesn't want to go home, but wants to live with Gu Tao, and wants to follow Qu Yingyi, but it's just a dream.
Caught in the gap between the two, Gu Chaoming was unwilling to accept the choice made by fate, so he cast his choice on the future, on the summer of his senior year in high school.
It must have been a nice and bright summer day.
Regardless of whether Gu Tao knows which university he is applying for, whether or not his grades are on Cen Xili's shoulders, and there is still time, everything is still uncertain. That is the most beautiful appearance of that summer in the future that has not yet come.
There are many more dishes in Gu Chaoming's bowl, which are children's taste.
After Yuanyuan finished eating, she whispered to Qu Yingyi, Qu Yingyi nodded, and helped Yuanyuan pull out the chair: "If you want to go, go there by yourself."
Yuanyuan jumped off the chair, trotted all the way around the table, ran to Gu Chaoming's side and offered him a hug.
Gu Chaoming looked at her, with his chubby arms stretched out, his fleshy palms stretched out towards him, with a bright smile on his face.
Gu Chaoming was flattered by her love for no reason.
"Get ready to fly!" Gu Chaoming smiled cheerfully, lifted Yuanyuan up, carried Yuanyuan onto the chair, and after she sat down, said, "Successfully landed."
Yuanyuan giggled, her big white teeth were straight, her big eyes curved into a smile.
Yuanyuan smiled and raised her small fleshy hand, Gu Chaoming also extended his hand, and the big hand touched the small hand, making a sound of celebration.
The 17-year-old Gu Chaoming hid her loss and stiffness very well, and Qu Yingyi, who is over forty years old, buried her worries deeper, buried in her usual smile after seeing her son.
She has a new daughter, but she still misses her former son in her heart.
Qu Yingyi thought it might be because she divorced without telling him and gave up his custody rights, so Gu Chaoming had a gap with herself in her heart, and the number of calls to her became less and less. Still full of concern.
Life is gradually separated, and it is normal to have gaps.
She didn't have much time and energy to care about Gu Chaoming, and she made an appointment with Gu Chaoming to see him on Sunday. Qu Yingyi didn't want to express her concern only with money. Pull further.
What Gu Chaoming needs is companionship. Qu Yingyi dare not say how much time she spent with Gu Chaoming in the past, but now she really doesn't have any time to spend with him, so taking advantage of this meeting, she wants to spend more time with him. Talk to Gu Chaoming, take him to the places he wants to go, and talk about his recent situation.
As soon as they agreed to meet on Sunday, Qu Yingyi had already made a schedule in his mind, where he could go, and where Gu Chaoming liked to eat before.
She recalled the restaurant she took him to for his birthday last year, and he seemed to like it a lot.Because Gu Chaoming talked a lot that day and laughed happily.
Qu Yingyi defines these as the reasons why Gu Chaoming likes this restaurant.
Looking at the "red buttocks" lined up in front of her, Qu Yingyi was holding the phone, Qu Yingyi felt more and more burdened in her heart, full of shame, she was about to be unable to bear it.
As the mother of two children herself, Qu Yingyi sat in the car and turned to look at Yuanyuan beside her.Yuanyuan was wearing a seat belt and didn't know what she was worrying about, so she looked at her and smiled at her foolishly.
Qu Yingyi touched Yuanyuan's head affectionately, she knew that Yuanyuan was lively and not afraid of people, but Gu Chaoming was not like that.
My own children know that even though Gu Chaoming is tall and burly, he is actually very sensitive inside, not to mention that he is 17 years old and is in his adolescence. Children of this age are more sensitive to things around them than other age groups. levels that cannot be reached.
Children's minds are immature, and they don't have that deep feeling for things. After adolescence, they enter the society and have the accumulation of age. If a house has a foundation, it is not so easy to collapse, and adolescence carries all the confusion, yearning, expectation, Exploring the world, stepping out of the arms of his parents with his immature heart, to perceive this new world by himself.
Gu Chaoming started out with pain. Gu Tao's existence has already made Gu Chaoming's childhood incomplete. Qu Yingyi hopes that at least Gu Chaoming's youth will be the same as others in his later days, it is the youthfulness of youth. , it is the reluctance to look directly at the scandalous things he has done, the regret of not completing things, not the estrangement with his mother and the beating of Gu Tao.
The shadow of childhood made Gu Chaoming more sensitive than children of the same age. Qu Yingyi was afraid that Gu Chaoming would not accept Yuanyuan, and that this meal, which was originally intended to shorten the distance, would create a wider river between them.
Fortunately, what she was worried about didn't happen, Yuanyuan was lively and shy, and Gu Chaoming was reasonable, all worries disappeared completely in Gu Chaoming's bright smile.
She looked at Gu Chaoming, who was laughing across the way, and the burden in her heart finally eased a little.
One dining table, three diners, two families are intertwined, mother and son have their own concerns, only Yuanyuan, who is carefree in kindergarten, eats wholeheartedly and seriously.
