riddle

Han Nuoshang followed Gu Ci down the stairs and walked straight to the entrance of the basement. Seeing that Gu Ci took out two wires and started to pick the lock, he was a little helpless. Gu Ci was getting more and more proficient in using this skill.

"Don't tell me that you also picked the lock when you entered the gate?"

"I don't have a key, and Uncle Huang doesn't dare to let me go back here." So every time I come back, I can only pick the lock. Fortunately, the lock of his house is not difficult to open.

With a sound of "squeak", Gu Ci pushed open the door of the basement and walked in, followed by Han Nuoshang who followed him quickly, as if he was afraid of losing him.

Gu Ci said before that he used to have a photo wall at home, but later he locked up the photos - and this basement hides those photos.

The floor of the basement was cleaned very clean, but the surrounding area was also empty, which inexplicably added a sense of lifelessness, except for the photos hanging on the wall, there was nothing inside.

Han Nuoshang involuntarily gave a sigh of admiration. I have to say that Gu Qiyu and his wife really like taking pictures. They have recorded everything from their acquaintance to their marriage and starting a family. There are also photos of Gu Ci from childhood to adulthood.

Gu Ci was so cute when he was a child, Han Nuoshang stared at those photos and didn't want to move his eyes away.

In addition to these relatively small photos, there are also several large photos hanging on the four walls, but these large photos are covered by white cloth, and the contents inside cannot be seen clearly.

Gu Ci went to the biggest photo in front of him and sat down cross-legged, tearing off the white cloth covering the photo.

It was the largest of all the photos in the entire basement, and it was also the wedding photo of Gu Ci's parents.

Han Nuoshang stood behind and looked at the person in the photo. Gu Qiyu and his wife smiled brightly at the two of them. Gu Ci looked at the person in the photo with some infatuation. Those were his parents, who loved him the most. Two people.

Gu Qiyu and his wife are both very good-looking. Even Han Nuoshang couldn't help but be amazed by their photos. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a talented man and a beautiful woman.

In fact, Gu Ci still looks quite like his father, with a heroic look in his brows, even more attractive than his father.

Compared to the wedding photo, Han Nuoshang was obviously more interested in the other big photo on the side.

He stretched out his hand and took off the white cloth - it was a family portrait of the Gu family.

Little Gu Ci was sitting next to his parents with his younger sister in his arms, smiling brightly -- Han Nuoshang had never seen Gu Ci's smile like this, such a genuine and unpretentious smile.

For the past 12 years, he has walked alone with his own support. With scars and hatred, he has already developed a temperament of being invulnerable and smiling. He is used to putting up his umbrella-like smile in front of others. There should not be much. The second is to express your true feelings.

Han Nuoshang suddenly remembered the little boy in his memory, and then looked at Gu Ci cross-legged in the basement, he really didn't look like him!No wonder he couldn't remember.

They met each other for 15 years, Han Nuoshang grew from a teenager to an adult, but Gu Ci forged himself into another appearance with scars.

"Your parents must be very good people!"

"En!" Gu Ci nodded.

"Can you tell me about them?"

"I can't remember clearly, this is the first time I stepped here after I was 11 years old." Gu Ci reached out and touched the frame of the photo, "My father and mother met when they were in school, and they secretly kept it from the teacher. Puppy love, two guys with good grades get together, and they make the teachers and students of the whole school think they are just studying together..."

The 11-year-old Gu Ci has done a lot of things. He read all the diaries of his parents, recalled the moments with his family, set up a monument for himself, locked up all the photos at home, and The Gu residence returned to its original appearance.

He does everything by himself, never using a babysitter or a part-time worker.

While he was doing these things, he sealed up all his memories and feelings, so that he would never see them again, and it was meaningless to him to keep them.

He wants to seal up everything in the past, and also seal up the past self. In fact, sometimes he can't tell who he is!

"It's late, you go back first."

"what?"

"I can do it by myself, you go back."

Han Nuoshang stopped talking, turned to leave the basement after 5 minutes, and closed the door for him.

He was the only one left in the empty basement, and he felt a little empty in his heart. He obviously wanted him to leave, but he was the one who got angry in the end. It was really hypocritical. Gu Ci sneered, and looked up at his parents s face.

"Mom and Dad, I'm no longer your favorite person. Are you disappointed with who I am now?"

"Sorry! I just came to see you now..."

"After all, I have grown into the appearance I hate the most..."

"Mom and Dad, I miss you."

He didn't know how long he had been alone in the basement, but the feeling of emptiness in his heart became clearer and clearer. He suddenly felt a little powerless, and he didn't want to care about anything. Could he just sleep like this and forget it.

An hour later, Gu Ci walked out of the basement with a medium-sized photo frame in his arms. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Han Nuoshang sitting not far away, and he froze in place.

Han Nuoshang also looked back at him, only to see that the redness in the corners of his eyes hadn't dissipated yet, and he felt very helpless, this person would only show his true emotions when he was alone.

"Are you hungry? Let's go for supper!"

"You...why are you here?"

"I'm not always like this, let's go! You're not hungry, I'm hungry."

Han Nuoshang finally dragged Gu Ci back to his apartment. After all, they would rather eat their own food than the supper outside.

Gu Ci returned to the room with the photo in his arms, leaving Han Nuoshang alone in the kitchen, causing Han Nuoshang to feel abandoned for no reason.

When Han Nuoshang came out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles, Gu Ci was still in the room, not sure if he fell asleep.

Naturally, he did not fall asleep, but sat on the balcony in a daze.

This was the first time Han Nuoshang walked into his room.

The kind of photo that Gu Ci brought back was placed in the most conspicuous place. It was another family portrait. It seemed that it was taken abroad. The buildings and streets have a very strong retro style...

However, Han Nuoshang's attention was focused on a potted plant on the window sill. There were flowers but no leaves, and there were no leaves but flowers - this is the Bana flower.

"Aren't you afraid of being poisoned if you grow this kind of flower in your house?"

He finally knew how Gu Ci smelled the poison mixed in those dyes when he knew about the red corpse case before.

"I didn't want to eat it, what kind of poison is it?"

It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but Han Nuoshang suddenly wanted to throw the potted plant away as soon as he said it. He didn’t think of this possibility at first, but when he said it, Han Nuoshang would have to worry, who knows if this person will One day when I have nothing to do, I want to try to see if I can die.

Such a thought just flashed by, Han Nuoshang once again thought of Gu Ci saying that he had promised his father, and shook his head amusedly.

Han Nuoshang brought over two bowls of noodles and handed him a bowl: "Eat! The steaming hot noodles will be warm after eating."

"The city is beautiful."

"uh-huh!"

"I liked to sit on the balcony when I was young, but my building is not high enough...you know." Gu Ci took two mouthfuls of noodles and smiled at him, "So I can only see a little bit of the night market and a lot of stars night sky..."

When he was a child, Gu Ci liked to think alone. Once he found something interesting, he tried desperately to figure it out, and he would not stop until he understood it thoroughly.

He has a habit of sitting on the edge of the balcony and thinking, often falling asleep after thinking about it, and when he wakes up again, he has already returned to his bed - he knows that his father brought him back.

Once, he closed his eyes in a daze and was not fully asleep, and then saw his father walking in, picked him up and carefully put him on the bed, his father's embrace was really warm.

Twelve years ago, after an accident happened at home, he also fantasized about sitting on the balcony and falling asleep, and his father carried him back to the bedroom.

But in the end it was different, he could no longer fall asleep defenselessly like before, the slightest sound could wake him up, and the person who carried him back could not be his father.

He no longer has parents, no younger sister, no one will hug him like his parents, and no one will play with him like his younger sister.

Han Nuoshang listened to him while eating noodles. For so many years, he had no one to talk to. Now Han Nuoshang hoped that he could be his listener.

"Okay! I've said so much, it's your turn." Gu Ci lowered his head and took a sip of the noodle soup. "You know, I'm also a businessman, and I won't do business at a loss."

"..." He really has Mr. Gu's temperament, "I made the noodles you are eating now, so it's not a loss."

"The materials are taken from my home." Gu Ci retorted bluntly without raising his eyelids.

Han Nuoshang: "I went to buy that."

Gu Ci: "I still pay for the grocery shopping."

Han Nuoshang: "..."

He really underestimated Gu Ci's mouth. He didn't feel it at first, but later he owed it to death. Now he not only owes it, but he can always say black things into white things.

"All right, all right!" Han Nuoshang waved his hand in resignation, really being an ancestor. "What do you want to hear?"

Gu Ci didn't raise his head, and cast him a glance, "Three questions, you just need to finish answering them."

Han Nuoshang nodded -- you are the uncle, so you can do whatever you want.

Gu Ci: "First question, do you remember what you did when you were 15 years old?"

"Sorry..." Han Nuoshang touched his nose, he knew what Gu Ci was talking about, "I didn't expect you to remember me for so long, but I left you behind... But I also want to Get up, it can still be remedied, right."

Remedy?Gu Ci didn't know, Han Nuoshang didn't do anything, but he just didn't get the person he wanted, but waited for the nightmare of his life.

"You don't really need to apologize." Gu Ci closed his eyes slightly, feeling the cold wind blowing on the verge of winter night, "You never promised me anything, and you didn't do anything wrong, you just followed your own life path. Just go down."

Originally, everything was just my own self-indulgence, and in the end it hurt myself and my family.

Han Nuoshang felt his sadness passing by for a moment, but before he had time to react, he put his emotions back, as if nothing had really happened, even if he wanted to comfort him, he couldn't say anything.

"Second question, can you tell me about your family?"

"Ah... yes." Han Nuoshang thought for a while, "My parents are relatively enlightened people, and they won't interfere with me in many things in life..."

Han's father and Han's mother always adhere to one sentence - the son's affairs should be irritated by the son himself, and the matter should be resolved after he is irritated.

They believed that Han Nuoshang was capable of handling his own affairs, and they didn't want to interfere with his life.

"I remember when I was in high school, once I had a crush on the girl in the class next door. That girl was the dream girl of many people. I didn't dare to approach her, so I had to look at her from a distance and use her picture as the lock screen " Han Nuoshang smiled, talking about the stupid things he did when he was a child, there are really many.

"What happened later? Did you go after her?"

"Yeah! Er... But, my dad found out." Han Nuoshang sighed, "You can't imagine how terrified I was at the time, after all, they were my parents, and basically all children would With an instinctive fear of parents."

"He probably didn't do anything to you then!"

Gu Ci recalled the time he had been in contact with Papa Han before. Although it was not long, he could feel that Papa Han was not the kind of person who used force to teach children, because Gu Ci's own father was also like this, and he could learn from Papa Han. Feel the same breath.

"He really didn't do anything to me, he just asked that girl out and asked her to chat with me." Han Nuoshang sighed and shook his head, "It's a pity that my unformed first love was killed in this way. In the cradle."

However, after hearing this, Gu Ci didn't respond at all.

Han Nuoshang was a little hurt: "Do you want to do this! Anyway, you should comfort me."

Gu Ci: "Eh... I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know what it's like to be broken up."

He hadn't thought about finding someone to spend his life with. Gu Ci couldn't deny that he really liked Han Nuoshang, but he only liked this step and had no other thoughts.

Gu Ci never thought about getting anything from Han Nuoshang, even if this person is going to get married and have children in the future, he has nothing to say.

It's good now, and the previous things can be regarded as ignorance, at least he is not alone, so it is already good.

Han Nuoshang didn't know what was going on in his mind. If he knew that Gu Ci thought so, Han Nuoshang would definitely not sit and chat with him now, but would pick him up and speak clearly.

After all, he came out to Papa Han nervously, not because he wanted to be his brother or partner.

It's just that he didn't know what Gu Ci was thinking, and Han Nuoshang himself didn't think about how to go in the future, so the two of them just fooled each other.

"The last question...Sun Yuchen, what kind of person is she?"

"Yuchen?" Han Nuoshang put his hands on the ground, crossed his legs and looked at the distant scenery, as if lost in memory, "She is a very good girl."

"It must be beautiful!"

Han Nuoshang nodded: "Not only is she beautiful, but she is the beauty of our school, and there are a bunch of suitors behind her."

But Han Nuoshang was with her, and the one who took the initiative was Sun Yuchen, and it was Han Nuoshang who she chased first.

At the beginning of the summer vacation of her freshman year, she didn't know why she fell in love with Han Nuoshang, so she chased and beat her all the way until Han Nuoshang agreed half a year later.

At that time, Han Nuoshang had become a celebrity in the school because he assisted the police in solving cases many times, and coupled with his status as the school belle's boyfriend, he once again became the public enemy of the boys—of course, only in love. The relationship between him and his brothers is still very good.

Sun Yuchen also supported what he did, and she was originally a strong woman, and sometimes she would help him find information and help solve the case... Until eight years ago, the kidnapping case separated them from life to death.

"You like her very much?"

"Yeah!" After all, that was the first person he loved so deeply, and the person he has always been most ashamed of. "If you know her too, I think you will like her."

Gu Ci didn't reply, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "You go back, it's late, I should rest too."

"The doctor doesn't seem to have allowed you to leave the hospital yet?" Han Nuoshang frowned. He had originally planned to send him back to the hospital.

"I have all kinds of ways to leave the hospital." Gu Ci's voice was calm and nice, but such a threatening voice was more effective "If you don't want to see me get new injuries, go back quickly .”

Han Nuoshang frowned, but he didn't dare to make a fuss. He glanced at the gauze on his wrist. Judging from Gu Ci's character, he could really do this.

"Then I'll go back first, and you should take a rest quickly. You can come to me at any time if you need anything."

Gu Ci felt that the person beside him was getting further and further away, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

The wound on his body hasn't completely healed yet, and after tossing and tossing for so long today, he also started to feel a dull pain.

In fact, Han Nuoshang still has Sun Yuchen in his heart, after all, he is a person who has lived in his heart for ten years, Gu Ci can understand that feeling.

Gu Ci recalled the recent bit by bit, that person should have found out that Gu Ci was back, that's why Qi Zhao appeared in front of him in this way.

After all these years, it's time for a closure!Only this time, he may not have the good luck of being ten years old, and he doesn't know how much time he has left.
