aftershock

"Brother, I like him so much..."

A raving in his head lingered, the alarm clock rang on time, Gu Lv was woken hastily, and then sat up from the bed with his legs up, the night was still deep, and the only sound in the room was his own breathing.

After casually drinking half a glass of cold water by the bedside, Gu Lv opened the door and went downstairs as usual.

Jiang Yuan paused in the kitchen when he heard Gu Lv's footsteps going downstairs. His stomach was uncomfortable and he couldn't sleep. He also came down to drink some hot water, and quickly finished his cup. He went out and saw Gu Zhenglv standing at the entrance of the stairs in the living room. s position.

A few dim lights were quiet, and the people who illuminated them became warmer.

Gu Lv looked at him, as if he was waiting for him to walk over, Jiang Yuan was a little strange, Gu Lv looked at him with an easy-going look.

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Gu Lv suddenly took a few steps towards him impatiently, and put out his hand to support half of his cheek. When he lowered his head, the silk pajamas made a very slight friction sound. Jiang Yuan was in this extremely quiet place. For a moment, all I heard was my own deafening heartbeat.

The thin lips were ready to part with a touch of coolness, Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded, and didn't dare to move as if he was frozen.

Gu Lu... Did you come to kiss him just now...

Feeling his cheeks being loosened gradually, Jiang Yuan felt that the place he touched began to feel hot.

"Okay, go to sleep."

His voice sounded too calm, as simple as entering the door and putting the key on the cabinet. Jiang Yuan didn't know if Gu Lv was sleepwalking, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to turn back when he really followed his words With a stiff body, he went upstairs.

How he got back to this room, how he lay on the bed like a zombie, he didn't know anything.

The body and mind were tortured all night, Jiang Yuan sat on the dining table like a zombie the next day, he bent over but focused on removing the yolk from the fried egg, he always felt that Gu Lv was staring at him, but he was really embarrassed look up.

"Don't go to work after eating"

"Ah? What... what's wrong?"

Gu Lv saw that his face was not awake, and his complexion was also very bad, so he subconsciously wanted to frown, moved his eyes, took a cup of black tea and took a sip slowly.

Jiang Yuan looked at Gu Lv's expression that was the same as usual, thinking that he really was sleepwalking last night, he felt relieved, but he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Something happened to the Gu family, Liang Ji called and asked you to go with him."

He remembered that Liang Ji had told him before, so he nodded. "It's Grandpa Gu."

Gu Lu coughed lightly, "You should be called grandpa anyway."

Jiang Yuan didn't think so much, and felt a little embarrassed.In fact, as long as he shifted his attention a little, or saw Gu Lv inadvertently, he would think of the scene last night. He had thought about every detail several times, until now he was a little out of his mind.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Oh, it's over, it's over." Realizing that Gu Lv had been waiting for him, Jiang Yuan quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue and stood up.

This was not Gu Lv's original intention. Every time he ate with Jiang Yuan, he always felt that he ate too little and was too vegetarian.Seeing Jiang Yuan drinking half a cup of rice milk intermittently, he originally wanted to wait until he finished eating the fried eggs before leaving.

Jiang Yuan changed his clothes and brought his laptop along with him.Said in a negotiating tone, "When you come back, will you go directly to the company? Can you take me with you, and I have to report the progress today."

"Engineering department?"

"That's right." Jiang Yuan changed his shoes and straightened the sleeves of his shirt on the spot. "Just take me there, and I'll take a taxi by myself later."

Gu Lu hummed.

The driver came to open the door, and Jiang Yuan hurried to the other side, opened the door and got in.

It's been a long time since I got closer to Gu Lv, but it's as far away as the last century, and now even sitting in the same space makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Strange...and...wanting to sit in his breathing space forever.

The performance of the car was very good, the road was flat, and no one spoke. Gu Lu leaned on the armchair to read the documents, and Jiang Yuan turned on the computer and looked closely at the red and green lines that were constantly zooming in and out.

He was communicating with people from time to time, there was a buzzing sound on the phone, and there would be a small typing sound on the keyboard.It was the first time Gu Lv saw him busy with work, and he would always glance over him inadvertently.

The rainy season is not over yet. For a preliminary project that is being excavated, both the progress and the difficulty of the work are quite large.

Precipitation is a very big problem. If there is not enough precipitation, the soil cannot be dug. If there is too much or too fast precipitation, the surrounding buildings and even roads will begin to sink and crack.At that time, the relevant departments of municipal administration and gardens will come to them to settle their accounts. Coupled with the recent intermittent precipitation, Jiang Yuan bit his lip and felt that his white hair was about to grow out.

He glanced at Gu Lv quietly, Gu Lv was not idle, and even he was hurrying to read the documents during the journey, so he had no reason to complain about hard work.

Jiang Yuan exhaled lightly at the scenery that quickly passed by outside the window, and continued to discuss the results of the expert review with Helian.

The grandfather of the Gu family is actually over 90 years old, which is a sad age.

When he was in good spirits in his early years, he was a very temperamental old man, with clean and round fingertips, serious when he was not smiling, and warm when he smiled.

Lying in the hospital, as Liang Ji said, he was already in a very bad mood, with his eyes closed and an automatic oxygen inhalation tube placed under his nose.Looking at an old man after so many years, I can better understand what is right and wrong.Gu Lv won't grow old in ten or eight years like he doesn't know.But the Gu family's grandfather was lying here with his eyes closed, and he could easily feel that this was not the old man back then.

The Gu family also has juniors like Gu Lu's age. They are all well-educated. When they see Gu Lu, they will stand up politely and call out brother, and even give up their seats by the bed.

Gu Lv nodded, and there were two more flower baskets in the ward. The wind in August, I really hope it can walk more slowly.

Gu Zhengzhong estimated that it will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He heard from Liang Ji that Grandpa Gu’s cancer grew in the esophagus, a cancer that develops extremely fast and has a high mortality rate. Jiang Yuan wondered if Liang Ji threatened him. ingredients, but Jiang Yuan was really a little scared after hearing it.

The old man with advanced cancer is very thin, because he can’t eat, and there seems to be only a layer of skin left under all the skeletons of the face. A young grandson who is on duty at Gu’s family said that his grandfather may not wake up in the morning, but when Gu Lv came a few 10 A few minutes later, the old man still woke up slowly.

Surprisingly, he recognized both Gu Lu and Jiang Yuan, and his smile was exactly the same as before.

He raised his hand, and Gu Lv stretched out his hand. He held it and said hoarsely, "Okay. Okay."

Jiang Yuan's nose was a little sore, he pinched his thigh, and stood closer silently. "Grandpa."

The old man nodded, his eyes still clear.He even smiled and said to Jiang Yuan, "How about you promise grandpa something?"

He smiled and his eyes blurred, Gu Lv stepped aside, and Jiang Yuan held the hand that still had a lot of warmth.

The old man curled his lips with a smile, half a cup of tears made one's heart ache.

"Grandpa wants to be buried in your Jiang family's garden in the future, okay?"

Jiang Yuan strangled his thigh in an instant, his strength was not strong enough, and his eyes were still red, so he had to take a light breath, and firmly shook the old man's dry and warm hand.

"it is good."

"Okay, of course."

Gu Xu never let go of Gu Zhiyuan, his father, in his whole life.But how many people know that a father can easily let go of his son.

He felt guilty and grieved all his life, lost his beloved son, lost his beloved grandson, and gave away his whole life's gray hair. When he came, he just wanted to get together.

After a long time, someone patted him on the shoulder, and the old man fell asleep without knowing it.Jiang Yuan blinked hard, and put the old man's hand into the quilt.

On the way back, Gu Lv was still calm, but Jiang Yuan felt that he was not in a good mood.

"Actually, I also want to be buried in my hometown after I die."

"..."

"Ah...haha...you know, my little uncle doesn't like to talk, and doesn't like to say what he thinks, and occasionally suffers a lot of grievances. There are all people with the surname Gu, and I always feel that it's not fair. .”

Gu Lv looked back out of the window, Jiang Yuan's nose was still reddish, he was sitting very close to him, his legs crossed and he looked very relaxed while talking.

Seeing that Gu Lu didn't speak, Jiang Yuan continued, "Gu Lu, if you didn't forgive me when I was alive, then when we are all dead, would you like to go to your hometown?"

"unwilling"

Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled again, Gu Lu's hand was close to Chi Chi, his brain got hot and he jumped over the pole and buckled it up.He looked down at Gu Lv's five fingers clasped in his palm, and slowly clasped them together.

"Okay then, I'll die when you die, and I'll go wherever you go."

"Okay?"

Gu Lv didn't answer. After a while, the back of his hand felt numb. It was Jiang Yuan who bent down and kissed it. He didn't pull out his hand in time, because Jiang Yuan held his hand in his arms and leaned on his shoulder, and put it on his shoulder. Eyes closed.

"I want to sleep, Gu Lu"

Gu Lv hesitated to speak, and pulled his hand out. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to open his eyes and close them for at most 2 minutes. Not only were his eyes full of sleepiness, but he was also extremely tired. His big eyes looked at Gu Lv. Kissed the back of Gu Lu's hand again.

"I offended you, not your hand. Don't move, or I will kiss you."

Gu Lv seemed to be startled by his scoundrel, but he really didn't move anymore.Also not daring to move was the driver in the car. He watched their ice sculpture Mr. Gu frown all the way, but he never moved away from his shoulders, being leaned on quietly, even on the curving and undulating road, he would always hang down. Take a few more glances first.

The driver didn't dare to look too much, so he slowed down and drove for a full two hours for the more than one hour journey.

Jiang Yuan's lips were dry and white, and his skin was turned up. His thin and pointed chin was slanted sideways to outline a deep outline. He hugged Gu Lv's half arm against his chest and abdomen. There were bones under his thin shirt. Law didn't know when he became so thin. He tried not to make himself cast more eyes, but he couldn't help but pay more attention to the heart that was closely dependent on his steady beating.

He began to think about a question over and over again.

Has Jiang Yuan been having a bad time?

Are you really having a bad time, why are you having a bad time.
