Jiang's mother hadn't cried for many years, and she cried again, but she didn't expect it to be because of this kind of thing. Her old hands trembled slightly, her chest heaved and fluctuated, she managed to recover, and got up tremblingly from the sofa. , but pointed at the door and said, "Get out! Get out!"

After saying this, she fell back down with a thud, as if her strength had been drained.

Jiang Xu was educated like this when he was young. Every time he fights with others and makes a mistake, it is common for Jiang's mother to kick him out and punish him. Backhand closed the door.

On a rainy day, there was no one in the corridor, and the doors of each house were tightly closed. Jiang Xu lingered at the door for a while, paying attention to the movement inside, but couldn't hear anything.

After all, Mother Jiang is a woman. After her husband passed away, she has no backbone. Her only wish is to raise Jiang Xu well. She sat on the sofa for an unknown amount of time. It was a little gray, which made the complexion a bit more decayed.

Jiang Xu...

Jiang Xu...

The name is too soft, it sounds lifeless, but Jiang Xu crawled out of her stomach, and Mother Jiang couldn't understand his character very well, and because of this, her heart became more depressed and anxious.

As she gets older, she actually can't remember many things clearly. The long-term memories are dusty in the box, like faded old photos, and only a few outlines can be captured. Only about Jiang Xu, she Remember clearly.

This is Jiang's mother's only memory that can compete with time.

She remembered the way Jiang Xu fell to the ground, remembering how Jiang Xu was babbling, she watched with her own eyes how he grew from a half-child with big arms to a tall and straight teenager, and then left her embrace prematurely— —

Father Jiang left too early.

And in this kind of chaotic streets and alleys, it is difficult for a woman to support a family, let alone a sick woman.

When Jiang Xu was fifteen or sixteen years old, he started to hang out with others on the streets, moving goods, repairing cars, learning crafts, and doing all kinds of chores. At that time, the neighbor's children were complaining to their parents about buying new shoes, playing games all night and fainting Sleepy, the same age, but the situation is very different.

Jiang's mother felt guilty, but Jiang Xu never complained about anything. He ran wildly with his friends every day in the street, making troubles every now and then, so people always ignored his hard work inadvertently.

That was the child she brought up alone...

Mother Jiang thought about a lot of things, and her clothes were soaked with tears before she knew it. When she finally got out of her memories, she found that the sky outside was already dark, and the rain was getting lighter, but it was continuous.

Mother Jiang moved her numb body, then took out a tissue with trembling hands and wiped her eyes, put on a woolen coat, got up and half opened the closed window to let in air, and then walked to the door step by step .

Through a door, Mother Jiang couldn't see what was going on outside. She stood there for a while, but didn't open the door. Instead, she pulled the collar of her coat and went back to the room stooped.

Jiang Xu was standing outside, his legs were already numb, but it was still raining, he couldn't find a place to stay, he couldn't stand anymore, so he could only walk slowly from the door to the roof, and then from the upstairs Ding walked downstairs to pass the time. The mobile phone in his pocket was not charged last night and had automatically shut down. Jiang Xu didn't have the heart to look at the mobile phone now, so he didn't notice it.

The road was congested in rainy days, and Gu Qingzhou arrived in Haicheng when it was almost dark. He called Jiang Xu immediately, but unfortunately he didn't get through. When he called again later, the phone was turned off.

He knew that Jiang Xu wouldn't do this for no reason, but this feeling of not being able to get in touch was always worrying and annoying.

Maybe Gu Qingzhou still harbors a little uneasiness deep in his heart, but it is difficult for him to distinguish the source of this emotion. After all, it is inextricably linked with the word Jiang Xu...

After taking a shower, Gu Qingzhou didn't feel sleepy at all. He moved a bench and sat on the balcony to blow the night breeze, lit a cigarette, lowered his eyebrows, stared at the phone, and clicked all the programs in the lingering smoke, and finally Without doing anything, the screen was turned off.

It has been a while since Dou Xun came back to city a, and he didn't know what he was busy with, but he didn't expect to call at this time. Gu Qingzhou glanced at the caller ID, then handed the phone to his ear, and burned out the phone in his hand. The cigarette butt was extinguished, and another one was lit.

Gu Qingzhou's voice was low: "what's the matter?"

Dou Xun's voice sounded a bit bitter: "Dude, I'm getting married next month."

Gu Qingzhou also heard some rumors before, and was not surprised by the news. He squinted his eyes and asked, "With the Zhao family?"

Dou Xun didn't deny it, he babbled about what happened these days, and finally made a conclusion: "That girl is too cruel, I will lose three years of my life when I marry her, and I don't want to live in peace in this life!"

Gu Qingzhou was a little stiff from the cold wind. He changed his posture and sat, his black hair was a little messy, and his half-closed eyes reflected the eternal night outside: "What's the matter, do you want to escape marriage?"

Dou Xundao: "It's not enough to run away from marriage. It's fate for me and her to match whatever pot and lid."

There are no other brothers in Dou Xun's family, but they are not good at doing business. Ms. Zhao is a shrewd and capable woman, and she can help manage the company after she gets married. It is really suitable.

But only suitable.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Very good."

Occasionally, Dou Xun would pay attention to Fan Jiajia's situation, and asked hesitantly, "How is Jiajia now?"

Gu Qingzhou usually doesn't pay much attention to her, but after thinking about it, he said: "Work hard, and people are motivated, so you don't need to worry about it."

Dou Xun didn't know whether he was disappointed or happy, so he let out an oh, and then asked, "Will you come when I get married?"

Not long after Mr. Gu passed away, Gu Qingzhou was still wearing filial piety. It was not very good to attend the wedding, so he paused and said, "I won't go, and I will send you the gift at that time."

Dou Xun didn't care either: "It doesn't matter if you come or not, and it's not like you won't see each other in the future. I'm married today, maybe I'll leave tomorrow."

He wasn't all joking. Commercial marriages are like this. If there is no foundation of love, most of the time after marriage they will spend most of their time playing their own way. Thinking about this, Dou Xun couldn't help asking: "How are you and Jiang Xu?"

Gu Qingzhou smiled when he heard the words, the night wind blew, his eyes were as bright as stars, but Dou Xun couldn't see it: "He is very good to me."

Dou Xun said, "Really?"

Gu Qingzhou exhaled a puff of smoke, which was blown away in a short while, and he squinted his eyes: "What good does it do for me to lie to you?"

Dou Xun actually saw it quite clearly: "You don't have parents to take care of, but it doesn't mean that people don't have parents to take care of you. When the time comes to cry, make trouble and hang himself, Jiang Xu really may not be able to go with you."

Gu Qingzhou was poked at the sore spot for a moment, and couldn't help frowning fiercely. He flicked the cigarette ash with his slender fingers, and said two words in a cold voice: "Shut up."

Dou Xun said: "It's useless for you to be angry. I'm not trying to curse you, but I just want you to be mentally prepared so that when the time comes...you're right?"

Gu Qingzhou ignored him and hung up the phone directly. The beeping busy tone overwhelmed Dou Xun's endless chatter.

He glanced at the phone screen, the message bar was still empty, and there was no caller ID. The coolness from his fingertips spread to the bottom of his heart, and he felt an inexplicable helplessness.

Gu Qingzhou leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. The night was still as dark and churning as ever, and the air was damp and cold, mixed with a little earthy smell.

Dou Xun's words are a bit harsh, but it has to be said that this problem cannot be avoided, and it is also the biggest worry in Gu Qingzhou's heart.

His back bent down unconsciously, and he tightly gripped the railing, with veins all over the back of his hands, as if something was heavy in his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

Gu Qingzhou took a breath and finally knew what he was afraid of.

He was afraid that if he really came to that point by then, he would be the one who was given up by Jiang Xu...

Abandoned by him, like a few years ago...

The rain has almost stopped.

Jiang Xu stayed in the corridor for nearly half a day, and when it was getting dark, he realized that it was already night. He took out his mobile phone to see if Gu Qingzhou had arrived in Haicheng, but found that the battery was out, so he had to give up.

It was getting dark, and he couldn't spend the night outside. Jiang Xu tentatively twisted the doorknob, only to hear a light click, and the door opened in response——

Mother Jiang didn't lock the door, and the living room was shrouded in darkness, only the vague outlines of the furniture could be seen. Jiang Xu locked the door as quietly as possible, and then quietly walked to Mother Jiang's room to take a look, but saw her sitting in the rocking chair I fell asleep on the bed, without any quilt on my body, and my brows were full of fatigue.

Seeing this, Jiang Xu paused, then turned around and took out a quilt from the cabinet, and gently covered Mother Jiang, seeing that she hadn't woken her up, and then went out.

Back in his room, Jiang Xu found out the charger, and then waited for the phone to turn on, thinking that Gu Qingzhou must have made a lot of calls, and when the screen turned on, there were more than a dozen missed calls on it. It also verified his guess.

Jiang Xu smiled, closed his eyes and scratched his hair helplessly, then called back, and after a few rings, the phone was quickly connected, but there was some noise on the other end, then it quieted down again, and Gu Qingzhou's hoarse voice rang out : "...Jiang Xu?"

"it's me,"

Jiang Xu turned over on the bed. He stood in the corridor for a day, his legs were a little cramped, and he explained, "I'm helping my mother with cleaning this afternoon. The phone is out of battery and turned off, so I didn't receive your call."

Gu Qingzhou paused: "I thought you..."

He spoke for half the time, but didn't continue.

Jiang Xu asked with a smile, "What do you think? You think my phone is broken?"

Hearing his familiar voice, Gu Qingzhou's numb thinking finally began to come alive. He moved his hands that were blue with cold, and finally got up and left the balcony, returned to the warm living room, and asked: "Otherwise? Don't you Are you deliberately not answering my phone?"

Jiang Xu deliberately teased him: "That's not certain."

Gu Qingzhou lay sideways on the sofa, holding a pillow in his arms, his slightly long hair fell down, covering his beautiful eyebrows and eyes, his complexion was still a little pale because of illness, and the light on the top was a bit dazzling, he closed his eyes lightly , covered his eyelids with the back of his hand, and said to Jiang Xu through the microphone: "Come back now if you have the ability."

Jiang Xu smiled when he heard the words, and his words made people angry: "Why, you want to hit me? You can't beat me, so you know how to show off."

"I won't hit you,"

Gu Qingzhou corrected him, with a slightly sickly hoarse voice: "It's not because I want to hit you."

He said, "Because I miss you."
