He got rich by the ex who was scumbaged by me

The day before the New Year's Eve, the urban area of ​​Haicheng was basically empty, only some large shopping malls were still open, but they were deserted, and the heavy snow had not stopped. When it was approaching the afternoon, it was all white outside. There was snow on the window sills.

Gu Qingzhou didn't sleep much last night, he opened the curtains slightly, and saw that the outside was cold and white, but the sky was dark, like an overturned inkstone, gradually spreading the darkness, the two colors collided together, revealing With extreme condensation, he pulled the curtain back again.

There are ready-made ingredients in the refrigerator, but Gu Qingzhou didn't cook, he only made a bucket of noodles. He sat on the carpet next to the coffee table, waiting for the noodles to be soaked. Occasionally, a few messages popped up on his phone, all from friends He glanced at his New Year greetings, replied briefly, and then put the phone back.

Gu's mother had a quarrel with him some time ago, but she didn't think her son would really hold grudges, but she didn't contact him for a long time, and she felt a little uneasy. Seeing that she was about to grow up, she didn't see Gu Qingzhou returning to City A After all, I couldn't bear my temper and made a phone call.

The noodles on the table have been soaked. Gu Qingzhou flipped it a few times with a fork, heard the ringing of the call, and answered it without thinking. It wasn't until Gu's mother's voice sounded from the other end that he paused, subconsciously glanced at the screen of the phone .

Gu's mother didn't know if it was because of guilt or something else, her voice was no longer as tense as last time, and she was a little embarrassed and kind: "Qingzhou, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, what time do you book your ticket to come back, the family has to get together It’s okay to have a meal together.”

Gu Qingzhou put down the fork when he heard the words, and pushed the bucket noodles on the table farther away with his fingers, and his deep voice contained a trace of imperceptible sarcasm: "Eat? What kind of meal? Is the whole family eating in the hospital?"

Except for the nanny who cooks, there is no one in the Gu family's mansion. They are all in the intensive care unit to accompany the old man. Although Gu Qingzhou is in Haicheng, it does not mean that he knows nothing about city a.

A trace of anger flashed across Gu's mother's face when she heard the words, and she felt a little embarrassed and panicked on her face. She just felt that this son was born to restrain her, so she tried to suppress her anger and said nicely: "Since you know that the old man is still lying in the hospital , what reason is there for a son to be happy and happy outside, isn't this poking the spine and making people call him unfilial?"

"Whatever they say," Gu Qingzhou stared at the steaming bucket of noodles on the table, seeing the white plastic fork falling into the soup little by little, and didn't mean to reach out to fish it: "The old man still likes to play at a very old age." Merry, have fun with the little tender model, if he is not hospitalized, who will be hospitalized?"

Gu Qingzhou doesn't have much feeling for this nominal father, and he can't see each other several times throughout the year, and he can't even remember his appearance. The only memory is the pair of cloudy and old eyes of the other party, which circle around the woman all the time.

Mother Gu didn't know why, she didn't speak for a long time, her fingertips were trembling with anger, but she was powerless to refute him, she got up from the sofa, paced back and forth in the luxurious and cold living room: "He had another operation the day before yesterday, the doctor said I can only take one step at a time, I don't think it will last long, I beg you as a mother, come back, I know you don't want to fight for those things, but you don't, in the end it's just cheap Gu Ting and the others, the old man woke up a few times in the middle, I didn't even see your figure, and although he didn't say anything, he must be unhappy in his heart, and when the time comes to divide the inheritance, wouldn't it be obvious that he will be at a disadvantage?"

She is so persuasive, but the reason is only to calculate the money. Gu Qingzhou has no expression on her face, and unconsciously caresses her side face. It seems that she can still feel the pain and numbness of being slapped at the beginning, and her limbs and bones are cool: "……we'll talk about it then."

Gu Qingzhou got up from the ground with support: "When the day comes, I will go back without you telling me."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The instant noodles that had been soaked just now had cooled down and could no longer be eaten. Gu Qingzhou cleaned up the garbage on the table, and then threw the noodles into the trash can. After doing all this, he looked around , standing there without moving for a long while, suddenly not knowing what to do, or what to do to pass the time.

Jiang Xu’s family doesn’t have many relatives, but they can’t stand the neighbors who love to visit. Four or five people crowded in the living room talking and laughing. It's a pity that the young man is still single.

Although Jiang's mother was also concerned about Jiang Xu's lifelong event, she thought that he would definitely not be willing or patient to go on a blind date, so she directly helped her and refused: "He has his own ideas in mind, so let's not worry about it for him. When the fate comes, it will come naturally, besides, I am busy with work now, I haven't bought a house yet, and a girl from another family comes here to marry, so I can't follow the northwest wind."

Jiang Xu saw that the house was trampled in a mess, it was very disturbing, and he couldn't say anything. After helping Jiang's mother to make tea and pass water, he found an excuse to hide out, and then wandered downstairs, a bunch of children were lying nearby. Flowers, fried crackling.

Jiang Xu went to help Dahong's car repair shop this morning, and helped Jiang's mother entertain relatives in the afternoon, and now he has time to catch his breath. He found a seat on the public chair by the side of the road and didn't care much about the falling sky. Mao Maoxue, put on the earphones and call Gu Qingzhou.

The phone rang for three seconds, and was quickly connected. The other end was still so quiet that no noise could be heard, and there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere at all. Jiang Xu thought that these two fools would just plan to celebrate the New Year alone, so he couldn't help asking : "Are you still in Haicheng?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded and shook his head, so he could only change the subject: "Are you done?"

Jiang Xu said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I thought you had returned to City A."

After all, Gu Qingzhou is not an orphan. Unless there is no holiday at work, normal people don't go home during the New Year.

Gu Qingzhou lived alone most of the time for so many years. He didn't care whether it was Chinese New Year or not. He just missed Jiang Xu. He lay on his back on the sofa, covering his eyelids with the back of his hand to block the bright light above his head. He didn't know what to do. How to tell the other party, he has never had any relatives, after a while, he smiled and said: "...In fact, Haicheng is quite lively."

A child on the side of the road was setting off a whip, and a piece of it rolled to Jiang Xu's feet. The fuse was already half-ignited. He stomped it out without looking at it, then kicked it into the distance, and sat in a different position: "Put it down, you think I haven't celebrated the New Year in Haicheng, it's empty everywhere, and the thieves don't come out anymore."

Snowflakes fell slowly, and a thin layer had already fallen on his shoulders, which was brushed off casually.

When Gu Qingzhou heard the words, he picked the sofa silently: "You have to fight against me, don't you?"

Listening to his tone, Jiang Xu was amused: "You are still wronged, why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words: "What?"

Jiang Xu said: "Come to my house for New Year's dinner. It's only six o'clock. There are no cars on the New Year's Eve road. If you drive over, you will be there around 09:30. It happens that my family is small, and we have a lively meal together."

Gu Qingzhou's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he couldn't tell whether it was nervous or flustered. He subconsciously sat up from the sofa, and then slipped down on the carpet unconsciously. Because of his nervousness, his eyelashes trembled twice, and he rubbed his palms on his knees. With thin sweat, he pursed his lips and said dryly, "I'm afraid of your mother..."

Jiang Xu felt that Gu Qingzhou was not stubborn when he should be stubborn, and stubborn when he shouldn't be stubborn, such as now, such as on the bed: "Tsk, my mother is not a big tiger, can she eat you?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that when he made a mistake when he was a child, his mother threw him half a block with a stick, so he shut his mouth again.

Jiang Xu said: "I'll send you the location, call me when you arrive, and I'll pick you up."

There are many alleys and alleys in the town, and the navigation can only locate a few large places. Jiang Xu thought for a while, sent the location of the station, and then patted Luoxue on his body before turning around and going upstairs.

The neighbors who came to visit left at some point, leaving only a pile of melon seeds, husks and plastic water glasses on the table in twos and threes, and Jiang Mu was cleaning with a broom, Jiang Xu stepped forward to help clean the table, tsk He said in a loud voice, "It's like locusts crossing the border."

Jiang's mother said: "They are all neighbors, you can't drive them away."

Jiang Xu didn't say a word, and after a few minutes, he said casually: "Mom, a friend of mine came here, and the hotel is closed now. I want him to stay with us for a few days and celebrate the new year together."

Mother Jiang was cleaning the table, and asked without raising her head, "How is my relationship with you?"

Jiang Xu nodded seriously: "Very good."

Mother Jiang said: "Since we have a good relationship with you, it's not a big deal to stay for a few days, but our house doesn't have many rooms, so I'm afraid I'll neglect you."

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Xu unconsciously saw a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, he just needs to share a room with me. We are classmates in high school. He has very good grades. University A knows, that's the university he went to back then." .”

The elderly elders are very fond of children with good grades. Jiang's mother is relieved when she hears that Gu Qingzhou is not the gangsters who used to hang out with Jiang Xu. She wipes her hands with her apron and says, "He got into a Big, it’s not that you passed the exam, it’s your pleasure, if you are half as good as someone else, mom will be content.”

Jiang's mother used to say this kind of thing a lot before, Jiang Xuquan just ignored it and forgot it, and only helped clean up after hearing it, so as not to make a mess when Gu Qingzhou came.

Gu Qingzhou has never felt that it takes courage to do anything so much. His hand holding the steering wheel is still wet with sweat. It was a road he had never been before, and he could only blindly follow the navigation.

Jiang Xu was worried that he was going the wrong way, so he would call him after a while to ask where he was, while Gu Qingzhou told him the location according to the nearby street signs, and Jiang Xu confirmed that the route was correct before hanging up Telephone.

When Gu Qingzhou was about to arrive at the station, he called Jiang Xu: "What's your house number, I'll drive there directly."

It was freezing cold outside, and he didn't want Jiang Xu to come all the way.

It is impossible for Jiang Xu to let a road idiot find his way by himself: "You can't find it after I say it. Besides, there are many small alleys here. It is easy for cars to get in, but difficult to get out. Stay there and wait for me. I will go there right away."

Gu Qingzhou pursed her lips and patted the steering wheel, then asked curiously, "Do you want to pick me up by bicycle?"

Jiang Xu was amused by him: "Can I walk over to pick you up on two legs?"

Gu Qingzhou ignored him, hung up the phone, and the car was fully heated, but it was difficult to relieve the anxiety and tension in his heart. He simply got out of the car to cool off, and then observed the surrounding environment.

Late at night, there are still a few restaurants on the street with lights on. Most of the owners are locals and don’t have to go home to celebrate the New Year. There are dense wires on the poles, which are connected from one end to the other. The snow on the side of the station was covered with small advertisements. Gu Qingzhou reached out to pick it up, but if he didn't pick it off, he gave up.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he remembered something, lost his mind, put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and then paced back and forth near the car. A car repair shop happened to be closed and locked, and the iron shutter door clattered down, making a harsh sound. broke the silence of the night.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes unconsciously, and saw a man in a leather jacket with a short cut and unshaven beard. He couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, so he looked away again. The street lamp on the side poured light lightly, making him a little cold His eyebrows and eyes are clearly illuminated.

"Hey?"

A slightly rough voice suddenly sounded in Gu Qingzhou's ear: "Are you that who... Gu Qingzhou is here?"

Hearing the words, Gu Qingzhou subconsciously looked at the place where the sound came from, but saw that it was the car repairman just now, who stood up straight unconsciously, looked at him with the light, and found that the other party had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features were inexplicably familiar.

Gu Qingzhou hesitated and said, "Dahong?"

Dahong responded with a hearty voice: "Hey, isn't it just me? I saw you from a long distance just now, and thought I had misunderstood you, but I didn't expect it to be you? Why did you come here? Looking for Jiang Xu?"

He hesitated for a moment before asking the last sentence.

Dahong had the best time playing with Jiang Xu back then, he knew everything about them clearly, he was the only insider and bystander in that ridiculous youth, Gu Qingzhou tapped his fingertips in his pocket twice when he heard this, and clicked He nodded and said: "Well, I have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, so come here for a walk."

Dahong said casually: "Then you are too idle, what about Jiang Xu, why didn't you see anyone else?"

Gu Qingzhou said: "He will come in a while."

The town is small and there are few luxury cars. Gu Qingzhou's car is unavoidably eye-catching. If Dahong hadn't looked at him out of curiosity just now, he might not have been able to spot him. Seeing that Gu Qingzhou was dressed brightly, he simply said with emotion: "This car It's so beautiful, hey, it's your first time here, I have to treat you to a meal as a landlord, there is a restaurant next to you that makes good dumplings, let's go, let's go to the restaurant."

Dahong's personality is very forthright, and he greeted Gu Qingzhou to go forward after speaking. Gu Qingzhou was a little hesitant, afraid that Jiang Xu would not find him when he came, so he looked around and couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

Dahong led the way, and he inevitably showed some clumsiness when walking. Gu Qingzhou didn't know that his leg was broken, so he subconsciously asked, "Have you knocked your leg?"

Dahong looked back at him when he heard the words, then waved his hands and said with a smile: "What's the matter, those who were ignorant a few years ago, offended someone and were interrupted, will be lame."

He didn't care about this matter anymore, but Gu Qingzhou felt that he had lost his words, and he didn't know how to comfort him. The two walked into the empty restaurant and found a seat to sit down. Dahong said to the little girl who was dozing off at the counter: " Waiter, take your order."

The small restaurant doesn’t have a wide variety of dishes, and it’s winter, so there are even fewer varieties. There are only some quick-frozen dumplings and soup noodles. Dahong asked the waiter to order two large plates of dumplings, and served a few bottles of beer. With peanuts, he said: "It's the most comfortable to eat hot dumplings in cold weather, try it."

Gu Qingzhou was not enthusiastic towards anyone except Jiang Xu, so he had nothing to say at this time: "I heard from Jiang Xu that you opened a car repair shop?"

Dahong said: "I'm barely dawdling. It's near the station. The business near the station is good. After the decoration is completed, there will be income in the spring of next year. By the way, what kind of work are you doing now, should you be the big boss?"

Gu Qingzhou didn't know how to answer: "It's not a big boss, it's just an office."

Dahong ate quickly, and half of the seven-liang dumplings disappeared in an instant. He heard the words: "Sitting in an office? It's good to sit in an office. You don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. Jiang Xu also sits in an office now. Although he is a small employee, now I want to Come to think of it, it was fortunate that he had repeated his studies at the beginning, otherwise he would have gone out of society."

He is about the same age as Gu Qingzhou, but he looks like a 30-year-old man. His eyes are full of vicissitudes, making it difficult to connect with the image of a gangster with yellow hair. Dahong drank a glass of beer and calmed down. Jinlai said: "You two...haven't given up yet?"

Gu Qingzhou wanted to say that he had let go. After four or five years of letting go, he got entangled again. After all, he was not used to this kind of thing with others. He said concisely: "We separated for a while, and met again a few months ago."

Dahong is still a bachelor now, so he doesn't quite understand that kind of emotion, but he can see how Gu Qingzhou treated Jiang Xu when he was in school: "If you meet, let's meet, I think Jiang Xu Even if you really find a daughter-in-law, it's impossible to treat him better than you, and you two are the most suitable."

Gu Qingzhou knew that he was joking, and asked casually: "Then if he finds a wife in the future, that wife is very kind to Jiang Xu, better than me to Jiang Xu, do you think they are suitable?"

Dahong thought for a while, then seriously shook his head: "That won't work, and Jiang Xu must be willing to treat her well. Although Jiang Xu used to play tricks on you, he was actually good to you, otherwise he wouldn't have fought and dropped out of school, wouldn't he. "

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhou paused for a moment, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him, but saw that Dahong was eating dumplings vigorously, he unconsciously squeezed the chopsticks tightly, and then let go, seemingly unintentionally saying: "...Really, but I don't think he needed to fight that fight."

The reason why Jiang Xu dropped out of school back then, except for the teacher, no one knew, only vaguely heard that he had a fight with some hooligans from another school, who beat him to the hospital.

Dahong straightened his intestines to the end, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Look at what you said, can you do it without fighting? What is the name of that grandson in the sports school next door, Zhang Dalong, he saw you sticking with Jiang Xu after school. Together, say that you two are Master Rabbit, and you want to sue to the school, this kind of person has to be beaten, if Jiang Xu didn't block him in the alley and beat him up to scare him, would you two still be able to study?"

After he finished speaking, he remembered that Jiang Xu seemed to have dropped out of school, touched the tip of his nose, and stopped talking.

Zhang Dalong...

Gu Qingzhou sat without moving, and quickly found this person from the past memory, but there was very little information, only remembered that Zhang Dalong was beaten up by himself for extorting protection money, and later he was beaten by Jiang Xu and Jiang Xu in the school corridor. I beat myself up, and in the end there were neighbors on my left and right. Occasionally, I would rush to meet each other when I was going to school.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know how the other party found out about him and Jiang Xu. Maybe it was when he deliberately waited for Jiang Xu to go with him on the way after school every day, maybe it was when he followed Jiang Xu every day, or maybe someone It was a rainy day for evening self-study, when Gu Qingzhou pushed Jiang Xu to the corner of the alley and kissed her.

Neighbors, left and right, and living close together, it is too easy to find out, after all, at that time, they were inseparable.

Gu Qingzhou never knew that Jiang Xu dropped out of school because of this incident, and Jiang Xu never told him, never said a word.

Maybe Jiang Xu can't afford poverty...

It was only when he stepped out of school and entered the society, when he needed to start working to support his family, that he suddenly realized how difficult it was for two men to be together, and then suddenly realized what a lifetime meant.

It was at that time that Jiang Xu realized that the word homosexuality is more depressing than poverty.

The first words, but can't say anything.

The dumplings on the table had been swept away before he knew it. Seeing that Gu Qingzhou didn't seem to move his chopsticks much, Dahong was a little embarrassed. He was about to ask the waiter to serve another plate, but Gu Qingzhou pressed it down.

"fine,"

Gu Qingzhou finally recovered: "I'm not very hungry."

After he finished speaking, he got up from his seat and went to settle the bill. Seeing this, Dahong stretched out his hand to stop him, but because his legs were half a beat behind, he hurriedly said: "Hey, how embarrassing this is, I said I was treating you."

Gu Qingzhou's cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Jiang Xu. He opened his eyes, turned off the screen again, and said to Dahong: "It's okay, Jiang Xu is nearby, please invite me next time."

After he finished speaking, he pushed open the glass door and walked out of the outside room. His thin back was a little illusory under the light. Gu Qingzhou walked very steadily. Dahong watched from behind, but felt that he was walking very hard, as if he would fall down in a second like.

Jiang Xu said on the phone that he walked over on two legs, but in fact he was riding a motorcycle and stopped a few steps away from the station. Gu Qingzhou saw him as soon as he came out, and stood there for a second or two , before stepping forward.

Jiang Xu held the helmet in his hand, and the snowflakes on it melted into water, shining brightly under the light of the street lamps. When he saw Gu Qingzhou, he said happily, "It's okay, I didn't go the wrong way, get in the car."

After finishing speaking, he threw a helmet to him. Gu Qingzhou subconsciously caught it. He didn't know what to think of, and turned back to the back seat of his car. He took four or five gift boxes and handed them to Jiang Xu. Then he got on the back seat of the motorcycle. .

Jiang Xu glanced at it, then hung it on the handlebar of the car: "What is this? Bird's nest?"

He couldn't see Gu Qingzhou's face, he only heard him humming behind him: "A gift for my aunt."

Jiang Xu muttered, "It's really a fool with a lot of money."

There is snow on the road, and the motorcycle is covered with iron. For safety reasons, Jiang Xu drove very slowly. He always felt that Gu Qingzhou was in a strange mood. Seeing that he was not stuck on it like before, he couldn't help asking :"What’s wrong with you?"

Gu Qingzhou answered irrelevantly: "I met Dahong just now and had a meal with him."

Jiang Xu said, "I know, you sent me a message to tell me."

Gu Qingzhou stopped and stopped, paused and paused, and finally couldn't help asking: "Did you drop out of school because Zhang Dalong knew about the two of us..."

The roar of the motorcycle was so loud that Jiang Xu couldn't hear it clearly at first, but later he realized what Gu Qingzhou was asking, he adjusted his helmet, and said indifferently: "I guess so, I can't remember clearly, why are you asking this. "

Snowflakes fell on her shoulders, leaching a little bit of coldness. Gu Qingzhou suddenly cared more about it than Jiang Xu himself, and moved her lips silently: "I'm dragging you down..."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Xu's tone was still understated, "If I don't fight with him, I will fight with others. Besides, my poor grades, so what can I do if I continue to study? If it's a big deal, we drop out of school. There are still fewer."

He didn't care, feeling that the incident was insignificant and not worth remembering.

Gu Qingzhou didn't believe it, and asked him in a low voice: "Then why do you want to repeat?"

Jiang Xu didn't speak when he heard the words, but the speed of the car slowed down. He seemed to be silent, but also seemed to be thinking. After a while, he said: "It's just... I think that being a human being should be a little pursuit. I can't be a hooligan all my life. .”

Jiang Xu spent the first half of his life in a muddle. He only wanted to live through today and never thought about what the future would look like, but he knew that he couldn't spend his whole life in the mud, and then idly messing around with the society, being beaten like Dahong. Man breaks leg.

That was not the day Jiang Xu wanted.

Gu Qingzhou took off his helmet at some point, his voice was clearer than before, snowflakes were blowing on his face, and finally because the temperature on the surface of his skin melted into shallow water marks, he unconsciously clenched the corner of Jiang Xu's clothes, Asked in a low voice: "...Why didn't you tell me about that?"

Gu Qingzhou treated Jiang Xu with all his heart and soul for three years, but he didn't get any response, only his heart was full of uneasiness, but at the end, Jiang Xu protected him once.

Jiang Xu thought for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "I don't remember, maybe I forgot."

Or, he felt that at that time the two of them would no longer be involved in the rest of their lives, there was no need to be involved, it was like grades, like life.

Jiang Xu went back to school for a year and finally got into university. When he was a freshman, Gu Qingzhou was a sophomore. When he was a sophomore, Gu Qingzhou was a junior. It was only a year later, but Jiang Xu It seemed like they couldn't catch up, like the distance from City A to Haicheng was over 2000 kilometers away.

Maybe it was because of the strong wind, Gu Qingzhou unconsciously lowered his head, he pressed against Jiang Xu's back, did not speak for a long time, the wind and snow kept pouring into his collar, and suddenly said: "Jiang Xu, if you If you don't like me anymore, you must tell me..."

Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked incredulously, "What can I do if I tell you?"

Gu Qingzhou twitched the corner of her mouth: "Maybe I'll let you go..."

Gu Qingzhou learned in the past that love is possession, and he must hold tightly in the palm of his hand what he likes, but now, he suddenly feels that Jiang Xu's wishes are more important.

Before he finished speaking, the running motorcycle stopped suddenly. Jiang Xu stepped on the ground with one foot to keep his balance, then took off his helmet, turned his head and said abruptly: "Gu Qingzhou, are you crazy?"

Gu Qingzhou didn't wear a helmet, and his thick eyelashes were stained with snowflakes, which melted into water after a while. He looked at Jiang Xu with reddish eyes, the tip of his nose was also red, and his cheeks were cold with thin water marks.

When Jiang Xu saw this, he couldn't speak anymore. He said dryly, "You fucking hooked me up, and now you say this kind of thing again. Why are you more scumbag than me?"

Gu Qingzhou's throat was so congested that he couldn't speak, his eyelashes trembled subconsciously, and a fine starlight was reflected in the water mark on it.

Seeing this, Jiang Xu asked angrily: "Are you sure I don't like you anymore, can you let go of it?"

Gu Qingzhou is very and extremely uncertain: "..."
