He got rich by the ex who was scumbaged by me
Chapter 58 Resist the sorrows of the rest of my life, and the time will be long.
When rock climbing, the muscles of the whole body will be in a state of tension. If you have practiced, forget it. If you have not practiced, you can’t even get out of bed the next morning. It’s like being run over by a car. The pain is unbearable, and you can jump up and down. There were probably only a few people, so the tour guide had to suspend the activity and instead had an outdoor barbecue at night.
Jiang Xu was one of the few active people. He grilled a few skewers of meat next to the grill, but he thought it was too smoky, so he withdrew it.
Gu Qingzhou was sitting on the rest chair next to him, wearing a simple white casual shirt, crossed his legs, and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. His facial features were clearly illuminated by the light fluorescence, and the corners of his eyes and brows were actually a little moist. Many female colleagues were secretly watching him.
Jiang Xu walked over, blocking those scrutinizing sights with his back. Gu Qingzhou only felt a shadow falling in front of his eyes, subconsciously raised his head, and saw Jiang Xu holding a plate of barbecue in his hand, he couldn't help asking: "Did you bake it? "
Jiang Xu touched the tip of his nose: "That's right."
Gu Qingzhou looked lazy, he took the barbecue and put it on the table, then patted the chair beside him, motioning Jiang Xu to sit down: "The night view here is very beautiful."
Perhaps the neon lights of big cities are too flashing, not only covering people's eyes, but also covering the stars at night, and only in the suburbs thousands of miles away can one get a glimpse of the vastness of the galaxy.
Jiang Xu tasted the skewered meat and found the taste to be acceptable, and replied that his thinking was very straight: "It's beautiful, just look at it more."
Gu Qingzhou asked: "What can you do if you look at it?"
Jiang Xu said, "Keep it in mind."
Gu Qingzhou was fiddling with his mobile phone. There were a bunch of photos in it, which were taken by him and Jiang Xu today. After hearing this, he called up the camera function and took a few photos of the night sky in the sky. Unfortunately, it is not a professional camera, so it is not very clear. .
He didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked: "Are you going back for the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"
Jiang Xu was drinking water, and almost choked when he heard the words, he paused, suppressed the cough in his throat, and then said vaguely: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, actually it doesn't matter if you don't go back."
Gu Qingzhou felt that he was a bit strange. After all, the company didn't have many holidays. It stands to reason that Jiang Xu should go back to see Jiang's mother every year and holiday. The phone twirled around at the fingertips, leaving a mark on the screen: "Do you have What are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Xu crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Is there anything I can hide from you, wearing a cuckold?"
Gu Qingzhou looked at him fixedly: "Don't be kidding, I'm serious."
Jiang Xu's proficient lying skills don't seem to be very effective in front of Gu Qingzhou. He tapped his temple with his index finger and was thinking about how to answer. He only heard Gu Qingzhou ask in a low voice: "Have you been discovered..."
Apart from this incident, he couldn't think of anything that would keep Jiang Xu from coming home.
Jiang Xu raised his eyes subconsciously when he heard the words, but saw that Gu Qingzhou took a breath, and his figure slowly fell into the back of the chair, his side face was reflected in the night sky, half of his figure was immersed in the darkness, and there was an inexplicable feeling spontaneously. sense of powerlessness.
Maybe he had already guessed it, after all, he couldn't hide it for a lifetime.
Jiang Xu paused, seemed to be laughing, and said casually, "You're pretty smart."
It's the default.
Gu Qingzhou turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, he unconsciously clenched his phone tightly, and asked aloud after a long time: "...Then what do you think?"
He didn't even need to ask Mother Jiang's attitude, he knew that the other party must be against it, and Gu Qingzhou only cared about what Jiang Xu thought.
Jiang Xu said, "I didn't think about anything."
He really didn't think about anything, Jiang's mother disagreed, and Jiang Xu couldn't force her to agree.The only thing Jiang Xu is sure of is that he and Gu Qingzhou will not let go, and it is actually okay to maintain the status quo.
Gu Qingzhou moved her lips: "Then if..."
If Jiang's mother disagrees no matter what and must force them to separate, can Jiang Xu still be as calm as now...
This sentence turned around on the tip of his tongue, and finally he swallowed it back into his stomach again. It's not that Gu Qingzhou doesn't believe in Jiang Xu, but the word "mother" itself makes people unable to let go. Choosing between the two of them, Gu Qingzhou didn't know who Jiang Xu would choose.
He really doesn't know.
He didn't want to be Jiang Xu's dilemma, nor did he want to be his dispensable.
Gu Qingzhou suddenly stopped talking. When the night wind blew, some broken hair stuck into his eyes, causing him to close his eyes unconsciously. Jiang Xu was sensitive to his emotions and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Xu said, "It's fine."
The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere just now suddenly became heavy, and even the barbecue on the plate gradually cooled down. Fang Qia and the others were still laughing and laughing. Gu Qingzhou sat for a while, feeling a little cold, and pinched a little stiff Ma's fingertips said: "Why don't I go back to my room first."
Jiang Xu guessed that he would definitely feel uncomfortable: "It's getting late, I'll go back with you."
Gu Qingzhou nodded, and went upstairs with him. There was no one around, Jiang Xu put one hand in his pocket and said, "Should I praise you for being mature and not noisy?"
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him: "Do you think I'll be noisy?"
Jiang Xu shrugged: "Almost."
Maybe they will grab his collar and stare at him with red eyes, whatever, anyway, it's not the way they are silent now.
Gu Qingzhou said: "If this can solve the problem, I don't mind having a fight with you."
But obviously, no.
He pushed open the door, took a shower and changed clothes, and was silent from beginning to end, without saying a word.When the lights were turned off at night, Jiang Xu lay on the bed, pulled Gu Qingzhou into his arms, locked her tightly, and said in a low voice, "There is nothing to be afraid of."
Jiang Xu said, "As long as you don't let go, I'm sure I won't let go either."
Although he had lied to Gu Qingzhou before, it was the result of his carelessness. No one can change Jiang Xu's decision, not even Jiang's mother.
Gu Qingzhou was held in his arms, and there was a strong heartbeat in his ears, which gave people a sense of security invisibly. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and closed them again: "I never let you go."
Jiang Xu patted him on the back: "I know."
Jiang Xu is not a member of the circle, so naturally he doesn't know. There are very few people who can go to the end of this road, and there are even fewer people who compete with their families like him. The future of results.
Gu Qingzhou never felt so lucky for a moment.
He searched for Jiang Xu's lips in the dark, and kissed them rustlingly. The night was as cold as water, but the kiss was extremely gentle. He seemed reluctant to let Jiang Xu suffer a little more pain. It was always light and light. , slowly and slowly.
Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you bite me?"
Gu Qingzhou stopped his movements when he heard the words, and looked up at him: "Do you want me to bite?"
Jiang Xu said, "Anything is fine."
Anyway, Gu Qingzhou's bite didn't hurt very much, it was all a joke, he just asked out of curiosity.
Gu Qingzhou didn't speak, probably felt that Jiang Xu's question was a bit silly, closed his eyes and pressed against his forehead and said, "Sleep, I won't bite you."
Jiang Xu pinched his face: "Okay, good night."
The five-day team building trip passed by in a flash, and soon it was time to return. When they thought of going back and continuing to work, everyone was inevitably a little bit unmotivated. After all, after being idle for so long, it would be very uncomfortable to suddenly get busy.
However, everyone dares to complain about these words in private, not in front of Gu Qingzhou.
Jiang Xu didn't have so many scruples, sitting in the first row of the bus, lazily said with emotion: "Tsk, the holiday days go by too fast, and I have to stay up late and work overtime when I go back."
The sunlight outside the car window was a bit dazzling. Gu Qingzhou was wearing a pair of sunglasses and was catching up on sleep. Hearing this, he glanced at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean that I am inhuman and oppressing you every day?"
Jiang Xu thought to himself that it depends on how to squeeze it: "It's good that you know."
Gu Qingzhou stepped on him secretly, but was swiftly dodged by Jiang Xu. He said to Gu Qingzhou happily: "Did you poke the pain? Did you become angry from embarrassment? Is this how the word is used?"
Gu Qingzhou didn't want to hear Jiang Xu showing off his messy language skills, so he reached out and locked his neck, angrily: "When you go back, you will work overtime for me every day, and you are not allowed to go back until the early morning, and all holidays are stopped."
Jiang Xu grabbed his hand, and laughed more and more out of breath: "Believe it or not, I will report you to the relevant department?"
The two were arguing on the seats, even falling off their sunglasses during the struggle, until a faint female voice suddenly sounded above their heads: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xu and Gu Qingzhou paused when they heard the words, and looked subconsciously, and saw Fang Qia lying on the back of the chair behind them, with big eyes flickering.
Jiang Xu let go of his hand slowly: "Have you never seen a fight?"
Gu Qingzhou picked up the sunglasses that fell on her lap, tidied up her clothes, and said nothing.
Fang Qia directly reached out and pulled Jiang Xu's head away, and looked straight at Gu Qingzhou: "Manager Gu. I just heard you say that overtime work and holidays are all stopped. Is it true or false?"
That's all she cares about.
Gu Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, and after a pause, he said: "No, you heard it wrong."
Fang Qia asked: "The weekend is still rest as usual?"
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Fang Qia asked again: "Is the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival also a holiday?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "It depends on your work."
Jiang Xu sat up slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull Fang Qia's head aside: "What's wrong with learning? Listen to the corner of others, Li Siao, quickly take your partner away."
Gu Qingzhou put on his sunglasses again, and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Jiang Xu thought he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly asked, "Dragon Boat Festival, are you going back?"
Jiang Xu said, "It doesn't matter if you don't reply."
Gu Qingzhou asked: "... You don't have to go back for the Dragon Boat Festival, what about Mid-Autumn Festival? What about Chongyang Festival? What about Chinese New Year? Will you never go back for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Xu looked at him, his eyes were innocent for a moment, like a child, Gu Qingzhou suddenly couldn't bear to say anything more, with his coat on his knees, he held Jiang Xu's hand rustlingly underneath: "Go back. "
He clasped his fingertips: "don't make her worry."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything.
Gu Qingzhou: "What are you afraid of, even when you go back to your own home?"
Jiang Xu adjusted his sitting posture, and wanted to say that he was not afraid of anything, he just didn't want to leave Gu Qingzhou alone in Haicheng, but he didn't know how to speak, so he turned his head and looked out the window: "Let's talk about it later."
Gu Qingzhou didn't seem to hear it, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "I need to bring some gifts when I go back. I'll buy some supplements. You can take them back with you. There are also rice dumplings. Prepare them in advance."
As he spoke, he remembered that a friend was a doctor abroad and sent another message, and then turned off the screen again.
In front of the bus, it was speeding along the road in the warm spring. The scenery along the road and the mountains were left far behind until it was blurred into a small black spot. Only the sun was still hanging high above their heads, changing with their footsteps. .
Although the temperature is scorching hot, it is like the best youth in life. They will not be green and reckless, and they will not be withered. They can declare their enthusiasm to the world, and they can also be restrained and gentle to the one they love.
They have the courage to move forward, and they have room to retreat.
Gu Qingzhou looked down at their holding hands under their coats, thinking that it was not too late.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, just in time for the weekend, the company had two days off. Jiang Xu didn't think about how to face Jiang's mother, so he didn't plan to go back, but Gu Qingzhou drove him to the supermarket.
During the holidays, there are gift promotions all around. Jiang Xu looked around and felt that those gift boxes were not fancy, so he said to Gu Qingzhou, "Didn't you buy a lot, what else do you want to buy?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "It's not surprising that there are many people, let's pick and choose."
Jiang Xu thought that no matter how much he bought, he would not be able to enter the door. At that time, Jiang's mother might throw it all out and waste it, so he basically didn't express much opinion during the whole process, and his attitude was negative. It was Gu Qingzhou who was picking.
The two went to the cash register to pay, both hands were full, and when they came out, they found that it was raining outside, Gu Qingzhou put the things in the trunk, and then said to Jiang Xu: "I will drive you go back."
Jiang Xu asked, "And then?"
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him, sat in the driver's seat and started the car: "Then you stay for one night, and I will pick you up the next day."
His tone was the same as usual. I wonder if he was afraid of Jiang Xu's embarrassment, and he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he pulled him to talk along the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Jiang Xu sat in the co-pilot, with his head against the car window, and sent a message to Jiang's mother, but there was no response. The rain outside was getting heavier and louder, and the sound was noisy. Even the windshield began to blur, and only the wipers were wiping back and forth. .
Jiang Xu didn't look at his phone at all, and stretched his waist: "It rains every day in this poor place."
Gu Qingzhou said: "It's okay, I brought an umbrella."
The road conditions are not good in rainy days. They are a little later than expected. The sky has begun to darken. There are too many things to carry. Gu Qingzhou can only try to drive the car in a little bit. Fortunately, there is still a place on the side of the road.
He parked the car not far from the entrance of the alley, then got out of the car and opened the umbrella, walked to the trunk and handed the prepared gift box to Jiang Xu. The rainwater splashed the bottom of his trousers and stuck to his body, looking uncomfortable.
Jiang Xu didn't have much hope anyway, he was ready to be kicked out by Jiang's mother with a stick, but he didn't want Gu Qingzhou to see him, so he said to him with a heavy gift box: "I'll go upstairs first, you drive the car out, So as not to wait for the road to be blocked."
Gu Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and wanted to hand him the umbrella, but Jiang Xu didn't take it: "I'm only a few steps away, there's no need to take the umbrella."
Gu Qingzhou had no choice but to give up: "I'll take you in, and I'll leave after you go in."
It was only half an alley away from the door of the house. He put the umbrella on top of Jiang Xu's head and sent him to the door. When Jiang Xu walked into the corridor, for some reason, he stopped and looked back at him.
Gu Qingzhou was not far or close to him, holding an umbrella firmly, motioned Jiang Xu to go upstairs quickly, and said silently: "It's okay."
Jiang Xu originally thought that he was supposed to comfort Gu Qingzhou when he encountered such a thing, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around. He paused, then turned and went upstairs, counted the floors step by step, and then stopped in front of the house.
Jiang Xu has the key, but if Mother Jiang doesn't want to see him, he won't force it in.Gently put the gift box on the ground, the corridor was silent, only the noisy sound of rain could be heard outside, he made some mental preparations before knocking on the door: "Mom, I'm back."
Across the door, Mother Jiang was sitting on the sofa folding clothes. The moment she heard the knock on the door, she stood up almost subconsciously, but for some reason, she stopped abruptly.
Jiang Xu stood outside and said, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I bought you something. If you don't want to see me, I'll put the things at the door. Remember to take them later."
Mother Jiang didn't know what attitude to take towards him, but she still had lumps in her heart. She didn't make a sound when she heard the words, she sat quietly for a while, and continued to fold her clothes. Her old fingertips brushed the neckline that was so flat that it couldn't be more flat. Little by little smoothed out the creases that only she could see.
Although Jiang Xu knew that she would not open the door, he was inevitably a little disappointed when it came to this point. He looked at the mottled wall and said, "Mom, there is medicine for rheumatism in the bag. Remember to post it on time. What can I do for you?" I call."
"I'm fine in the company, don't worry..."
"Wear more clothes on rainy days, and be careful when going up and down the stairs..."
Jiang Xu didn't know what to say, he seemed to have said a lot in a trance, and he seemed to have only said a little, and finally calmed down, and after a while he said: "Then I'll go first."
Because of the rain, the corners of the corridor were a little damp, and large pieces of white wall skin fell off, revealing the mottled wall inside. The dim light bulbs flickered, and the vision was a little on and off.
Gu Qingzhou didn't leave, maybe because he was worried that Jiang Xu would be kicked out, or maybe he was worried that he didn't have an umbrella, anyway, he waited at the entrance of the alley, took out the lighter and lit a cigarette, held it between his fingertips, but he didn't take a puff for a long time. The spark gradually burned out, scalding the fingertips, and finally rolled down into the rain field silently, making it wet.
When Jiang Xu came out and saw him, he was stunned. Before he had time to say anything, Gu Qingzhou had already spotted him, and stepped forward to put an umbrella over his head to cover up the pattering rain.
Jiang Xu blinked: "Why didn't you leave?"
Gu Qingzhou paused, looked into his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you don't have an umbrella..."
Jiang Xu came out so quickly, he could already guess that the situation inside was not satisfactory, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only tilt the umbrella towards him without a trace, and a large area of his back and shoulders was wet.
Mother Jiang stood by the window, facing the entrance of the alley. The meandering rainwater was winding down the glass window, making it difficult for her to see the scene outside. She gently opened a gap, and the sound of rain came like a tide. , Noisy and noisy.
Through the pattering rain curtain, Mother Jiang saw Jiang Xu and Gu Qingzhou walking out of the alley side by side. The gray walls and wires behind them were rotten and old, but their backs were tall and fresh. The latter held an umbrella and tried to lean towards the former. There was already a wet mark on the shoulder.
Mother Jiang looked at it for a long time, and finally closed the window. The moment she turned around, her back was reflected on the wall, and she already looked a little stooped, and she suppressed all the sobs and sorrows in her heart.
The town is always crowded, and the downpour can't stop the hustle and bustle of this place. There are a lot of people, and the disc store on the roadside plays lyrical songs, which have been transmitted far and far away, and can be heard across the street.
Jiang Xu took the umbrella from Gu Qingzhou's hand, walked around in a circle in the rain, leaned towards him, and the water splashed lightly: "I remember fighting with others here when I was a child, and then my mother drove me three blocks away with a stick. , beat me until I didn’t get out of bed for several days.”
Gu Qingzhou looked at him: "Did you beat others seriously?"
Jiang Xu said: "It's not serious, it's just scratching the skin. At that time, I was still angry for a long time, angry at my mother for being so cruel."
At that time, Jiang Xu didn't understand, he didn't understand how scared Jiang's mother was, he just remembered that Jiang's mother was holding him and crying, telling him not to fight, not to be bad, what if he went astray in the future and no one pulled him back, what should he do? ?
Jiang's mother knew that she couldn't be with Jiang Xu for the rest of her life. She would rather be harsher and stricter to him when she was a child than Jiang Xu would follow others to be a local hooligan after she died, and spend her whole life in a daze.
Gu Qingzhou patted the rain on his shoulder: "But you still seem to like to fight."
Jiang Xu smiled and looked at him: "Believe it or not, I haven't fought since I graduated from high school."
Those previous impulses seem to be gone, and there is no one or anything that can make Jiang Xu fight regardless of the consequences. He used to be a man of the hour when he was in school, but after he stepped out of the school, he finally started to calm down and become a Ordinary people.
But when he lived this kind of peaceful and stable life, he seemed to have lost the lonely courage of his youth, his blood was silent deep in his heart, he was calm during the day, but he was clamoring endlessly at night when he was tossing and turning.
"I believe,"
Gu Qingzhou said, "I believe it."
Drops of water rolled down the eaves of the umbrella, drop by drop, interweaving into thin rain curtains, and the water on the ground rippled in circles, reflecting the old telephone poles and the light-colored sky, breaking up and gathering again.
Seeing a pair of white-haired old men passing by, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but smile: "I don't know what we will look like when we get old."
Jiang Xu said cheaply: "I'm sure I'll be handsome when I'm old, but you may not be."
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him lightly: "I don't have to work overtime and stay up late to draw pictures, maybe you will be bald when you are old."
The car was parked on the side of the road, Gu Qingzhou sat in the driver's seat, Jiang Xu put away his umbrella and got on the other side of the car. Hearing this, he touched his hair unconsciously, and it felt quite thick.
The road was a bit blocked, Gu Qingzhou asked: "Is there a shortcut here?"
Jiang Xu was about to speak when he heard the words, when the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Mother Jiang. He read it word by word, and couldn't help but pause. It took him a while to react, and his eyelids trembled. .
Gu Qingzhou stopped the car: "what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xu turned off the phone: "It's nothing, let's go back."
Gu Qingzhou: "What?"
Jiang Xu smiled and repeated again: "I said let's go back and spend the Dragon Boat Festival together."
After he finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car, held up an umbrella in the rain curtain, went around to the other side and pulled Gu Qingzhou down, and walked straight to the house, passing by the passing crowd, holding hands tightly.
Maybe many years later, they will grow old together, slowly and calmly stay with time. Only those who have experienced separation will understand how difficult it is to meet each other, and how difficult it is to reconcile as before. .
Time flies like an arrow and urges people to grow old, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle to a young man.
Gu Qingzhou was lucky enough, and Jiang Xu was also lucky enough. They both met the person who was willing to lean the umbrella towards them in the heavy rain. They regretted the gap of several years of separation, and were glad to meet again.
Then we will meet the sorrows of the rest of our lives, and we will spend a long time...
Jiang Xu was one of the few active people. He grilled a few skewers of meat next to the grill, but he thought it was too smoky, so he withdrew it.
Gu Qingzhou was sitting on the rest chair next to him, wearing a simple white casual shirt, crossed his legs, and was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. His facial features were clearly illuminated by the light fluorescence, and the corners of his eyes and brows were actually a little moist. Many female colleagues were secretly watching him.
Jiang Xu walked over, blocking those scrutinizing sights with his back. Gu Qingzhou only felt a shadow falling in front of his eyes, subconsciously raised his head, and saw Jiang Xu holding a plate of barbecue in his hand, he couldn't help asking: "Did you bake it? "
Jiang Xu touched the tip of his nose: "That's right."
Gu Qingzhou looked lazy, he took the barbecue and put it on the table, then patted the chair beside him, motioning Jiang Xu to sit down: "The night view here is very beautiful."
Perhaps the neon lights of big cities are too flashing, not only covering people's eyes, but also covering the stars at night, and only in the suburbs thousands of miles away can one get a glimpse of the vastness of the galaxy.
Jiang Xu tasted the skewered meat and found the taste to be acceptable, and replied that his thinking was very straight: "It's beautiful, just look at it more."
Gu Qingzhou asked: "What can you do if you look at it?"
Jiang Xu said, "Keep it in mind."
Gu Qingzhou was fiddling with his mobile phone. There were a bunch of photos in it, which were taken by him and Jiang Xu today. After hearing this, he called up the camera function and took a few photos of the night sky in the sky. Unfortunately, it is not a professional camera, so it is not very clear. .
He didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked: "Are you going back for the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"
Jiang Xu was drinking water, and almost choked when he heard the words, he paused, suppressed the cough in his throat, and then said vaguely: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, actually it doesn't matter if you don't go back."
Gu Qingzhou felt that he was a bit strange. After all, the company didn't have many holidays. It stands to reason that Jiang Xu should go back to see Jiang's mother every year and holiday. The phone twirled around at the fingertips, leaving a mark on the screen: "Do you have What are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Xu crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Is there anything I can hide from you, wearing a cuckold?"
Gu Qingzhou looked at him fixedly: "Don't be kidding, I'm serious."
Jiang Xu's proficient lying skills don't seem to be very effective in front of Gu Qingzhou. He tapped his temple with his index finger and was thinking about how to answer. He only heard Gu Qingzhou ask in a low voice: "Have you been discovered..."

Gu Qingzhou suddenly stopped talking. When the night wind blew, some broken hair stuck into his eyes, causing him to close his eyes unconsciously. Jiang Xu was sensitive to his emotions and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Xu said, "It's fine."
The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere just now suddenly became heavy, and even the barbecue on the plate gradually cooled down. Fang Qia and the others were still laughing and laughing. Gu Qingzhou sat for a while, feeling a little cold, and pinched a little stiff Ma's fingertips said: "Why don't I go back to my room first."
Jiang Xu guessed that he would definitely feel uncomfortable: "It's getting late, I'll go back with you."
Gu Qingzhou nodded, and went upstairs with him. There was no one around, Jiang Xu put one hand in his pocket and said, "Should I praise you for being mature and not noisy?"
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him: "Do you think I'll be noisy?"
Jiang Xu shrugged: "Almost."
Maybe they will grab his collar and stare at him with red eyes, whatever, anyway, it's not the way they are silent now.
Gu Qingzhou said: "If this can solve the problem, I don't mind having a fight with you."
But obviously, no.

Gu Qingzhou was held in his arms, and there was a strong heartbeat in his ears, which gave people a sense of security invisibly. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and closed them again: "I never let you go."
Jiang Xu patted him on the back: "I know."
Jiang Xu is not a member of the circle, so naturally he doesn't know. There are very few people who can go to the end of this road, and there are even fewer people who compete with their families like him. The future of results.
Gu Qingzhou never felt so lucky for a moment.

Gu Qingzhou didn't speak, probably felt that Jiang Xu's question was a bit silly, closed his eyes and pressed against his forehead and said, "Sleep, I won't bite you."
Jiang Xu pinched his face: "Okay, good night."
The five-day team building trip passed by in a flash, and soon it was time to return. When they thought of going back and continuing to work, everyone was inevitably a little bit unmotivated. After all, after being idle for so long, it would be very uncomfortable to suddenly get busy.
However, everyone dares to complain about these words in private, not in front of Gu Qingzhou.
Jiang Xu didn't have so many scruples, sitting in the first row of the bus, lazily said with emotion: "Tsk, the holiday days go by too fast, and I have to stay up late and work overtime when I go back."
The sunlight outside the car window was a bit dazzling. Gu Qingzhou was wearing a pair of sunglasses and was catching up on sleep. Hearing this, he glanced at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean that I am inhuman and oppressing you every day?"
Jiang Xu thought to himself that it depends on how to squeeze it: "It's good that you know."
Gu Qingzhou stepped on him secretly, but was swiftly dodged by Jiang Xu. He said to Gu Qingzhou happily: "Did you poke the pain? Did you become angry from embarrassment? Is this how the word is used?"
Gu Qingzhou didn't want to hear Jiang Xu showing off his messy language skills, so he reached out and locked his neck, angrily: "When you go back, you will work overtime for me every day, and you are not allowed to go back until the early morning, and all holidays are stopped."
Jiang Xu grabbed his hand, and laughed more and more out of breath: "Believe it or not, I will report you to the relevant department?"
The two were arguing on the seats, even falling off their sunglasses during the struggle, until a faint female voice suddenly sounded above their heads: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xu and Gu Qingzhou paused when they heard the words, and looked subconsciously, and saw Fang Qia lying on the back of the chair behind them, with big eyes flickering.
Jiang Xu let go of his hand slowly: "Have you never seen a fight?"
Gu Qingzhou picked up the sunglasses that fell on her lap, tidied up her clothes, and said nothing.
Fang Qia directly reached out and pulled Jiang Xu's head away, and looked straight at Gu Qingzhou: "Manager Gu. I just heard you say that overtime work and holidays are all stopped. Is it true or false?"
That's all she cares about.
Gu Qingzhou was a little embarrassed, and after a pause, he said: "No, you heard it wrong."
Fang Qia asked: "The weekend is still rest as usual?"
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Fang Qia asked again: "Is the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival also a holiday?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "It depends on your work."
Jiang Xu sat up slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull Fang Qia's head aside: "What's wrong with learning? Listen to the corner of others, Li Siao, quickly take your partner away."
Gu Qingzhou put on his sunglasses again, and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Jiang Xu thought he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly asked, "Dragon Boat Festival, are you going back?"
Jiang Xu said, "It doesn't matter if you don't reply."
Gu Qingzhou asked: "... You don't have to go back for the Dragon Boat Festival, what about Mid-Autumn Festival? What about Chongyang Festival? What about Chinese New Year? Will you never go back for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Xu looked at him, his eyes were innocent for a moment, like a child, Gu Qingzhou suddenly couldn't bear to say anything more, with his coat on his knees, he held Jiang Xu's hand rustlingly underneath: "Go back. "
He clasped his fingertips: "don't make her worry."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything.
Gu Qingzhou: "What are you afraid of, even when you go back to your own home?"
Jiang Xu adjusted his sitting posture, and wanted to say that he was not afraid of anything, he just didn't want to leave Gu Qingzhou alone in Haicheng, but he didn't know how to speak, so he turned his head and looked out the window: "Let's talk about it later."
Gu Qingzhou didn't seem to hear it, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "I need to bring some gifts when I go back. I'll buy some supplements. You can take them back with you. There are also rice dumplings. Prepare them in advance."
As he spoke, he remembered that a friend was a doctor abroad and sent another message, and then turned off the screen again.
In front of the bus, it was speeding along the road in the warm spring. The scenery along the road and the mountains were left far behind until it was blurred into a small black spot. Only the sun was still hanging high above their heads, changing with their footsteps. .
Although the temperature is scorching hot, it is like the best youth in life. They will not be green and reckless, and they will not be withered. They can declare their enthusiasm to the world, and they can also be restrained and gentle to the one they love.
They have the courage to move forward, and they have room to retreat.
Gu Qingzhou looked down at their holding hands under their coats, thinking that it was not too late.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, just in time for the weekend, the company had two days off. Jiang Xu didn't think about how to face Jiang's mother, so he didn't plan to go back, but Gu Qingzhou drove him to the supermarket.
During the holidays, there are gift promotions all around. Jiang Xu looked around and felt that those gift boxes were not fancy, so he said to Gu Qingzhou, "Didn't you buy a lot, what else do you want to buy?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "It's not surprising that there are many people, let's pick and choose."
Jiang Xu thought that no matter how much he bought, he would not be able to enter the door. At that time, Jiang's mother might throw it all out and waste it, so he basically didn't express much opinion during the whole process, and his attitude was negative. It was Gu Qingzhou who was picking.
The two went to the cash register to pay, both hands were full, and when they came out, they found that it was raining outside, Gu Qingzhou put the things in the trunk, and then said to Jiang Xu: "I will drive you go back."
Jiang Xu asked, "And then?"
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him, sat in the driver's seat and started the car: "Then you stay for one night, and I will pick you up the next day."
His tone was the same as usual. I wonder if he was afraid of Jiang Xu's embarrassment, and he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he pulled him to talk along the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Jiang Xu sat in the co-pilot, with his head against the car window, and sent a message to Jiang's mother, but there was no response. The rain outside was getting heavier and louder, and the sound was noisy. Even the windshield began to blur, and only the wipers were wiping back and forth. .
Jiang Xu didn't look at his phone at all, and stretched his waist: "It rains every day in this poor place."
Gu Qingzhou said: "It's okay, I brought an umbrella."
The road conditions are not good in rainy days. They are a little later than expected. The sky has begun to darken. There are too many things to carry. Gu Qingzhou can only try to drive the car in a little bit. Fortunately, there is still a place on the side of the road.
He parked the car not far from the entrance of the alley, then got out of the car and opened the umbrella, walked to the trunk and handed the prepared gift box to Jiang Xu. The rainwater splashed the bottom of his trousers and stuck to his body, looking uncomfortable.
Jiang Xu didn't have much hope anyway, he was ready to be kicked out by Jiang's mother with a stick, but he didn't want Gu Qingzhou to see him, so he said to him with a heavy gift box: "I'll go upstairs first, you drive the car out, So as not to wait for the road to be blocked."
Gu Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and wanted to hand him the umbrella, but Jiang Xu didn't take it: "I'm only a few steps away, there's no need to take the umbrella."
Gu Qingzhou had no choice but to give up: "I'll take you in, and I'll leave after you go in."
It was only half an alley away from the door of the house. He put the umbrella on top of Jiang Xu's head and sent him to the door. When Jiang Xu walked into the corridor, for some reason, he stopped and looked back at him.
Gu Qingzhou was not far or close to him, holding an umbrella firmly, motioned Jiang Xu to go upstairs quickly, and said silently: "It's okay."
Jiang Xu originally thought that he was supposed to comfort Gu Qingzhou when he encountered such a thing, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around. He paused, then turned and went upstairs, counted the floors step by step, and then stopped in front of the house.
Jiang Xu has the key, but if Mother Jiang doesn't want to see him, he won't force it in.Gently put the gift box on the ground, the corridor was silent, only the noisy sound of rain could be heard outside, he made some mental preparations before knocking on the door: "Mom, I'm back."
Across the door, Mother Jiang was sitting on the sofa folding clothes. The moment she heard the knock on the door, she stood up almost subconsciously, but for some reason, she stopped abruptly.
Jiang Xu stood outside and said, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I bought you something. If you don't want to see me, I'll put the things at the door. Remember to take them later."
Mother Jiang didn't know what attitude to take towards him, but she still had lumps in her heart. She didn't make a sound when she heard the words, she sat quietly for a while, and continued to fold her clothes. Her old fingertips brushed the neckline that was so flat that it couldn't be more flat. Little by little smoothed out the creases that only she could see.
Although Jiang Xu knew that she would not open the door, he was inevitably a little disappointed when it came to this point. He looked at the mottled wall and said, "Mom, there is medicine for rheumatism in the bag. Remember to post it on time. What can I do for you?" I call."
"I'm fine in the company, don't worry..."
"Wear more clothes on rainy days, and be careful when going up and down the stairs..."
Jiang Xu didn't know what to say, he seemed to have said a lot in a trance, and he seemed to have only said a little, and finally calmed down, and after a while he said: "Then I'll go first."
Because of the rain, the corners of the corridor were a little damp, and large pieces of white wall skin fell off, revealing the mottled wall inside. The dim light bulbs flickered, and the vision was a little on and off.
Gu Qingzhou didn't leave, maybe because he was worried that Jiang Xu would be kicked out, or maybe he was worried that he didn't have an umbrella, anyway, he waited at the entrance of the alley, took out the lighter and lit a cigarette, held it between his fingertips, but he didn't take a puff for a long time. The spark gradually burned out, scalding the fingertips, and finally rolled down into the rain field silently, making it wet.
When Jiang Xu came out and saw him, he was stunned. Before he had time to say anything, Gu Qingzhou had already spotted him, and stepped forward to put an umbrella over his head to cover up the pattering rain.
Jiang Xu blinked: "Why didn't you leave?"
Gu Qingzhou paused, looked into his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you don't have an umbrella..."
Jiang Xu came out so quickly, he could already guess that the situation inside was not satisfactory, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only tilt the umbrella towards him without a trace, and a large area of his back and shoulders was wet.
Mother Jiang stood by the window, facing the entrance of the alley. The meandering rainwater was winding down the glass window, making it difficult for her to see the scene outside. She gently opened a gap, and the sound of rain came like a tide. , Noisy and noisy.
Through the pattering rain curtain, Mother Jiang saw Jiang Xu and Gu Qingzhou walking out of the alley side by side. The gray walls and wires behind them were rotten and old, but their backs were tall and fresh. The latter held an umbrella and tried to lean towards the former. There was already a wet mark on the shoulder.
Mother Jiang looked at it for a long time, and finally closed the window. The moment she turned around, her back was reflected on the wall, and she already looked a little stooped, and she suppressed all the sobs and sorrows in her heart.
The town is always crowded, and the downpour can't stop the hustle and bustle of this place. There are a lot of people, and the disc store on the roadside plays lyrical songs, which have been transmitted far and far away, and can be heard across the street.
Jiang Xu took the umbrella from Gu Qingzhou's hand, walked around in a circle in the rain, leaned towards him, and the water splashed lightly: "I remember fighting with others here when I was a child, and then my mother drove me three blocks away with a stick. , beat me until I didn’t get out of bed for several days.”
Gu Qingzhou looked at him: "Did you beat others seriously?"
Jiang Xu said: "It's not serious, it's just scratching the skin. At that time, I was still angry for a long time, angry at my mother for being so cruel."
At that time, Jiang Xu didn't understand, he didn't understand how scared Jiang's mother was, he just remembered that Jiang's mother was holding him and crying, telling him not to fight, not to be bad, what if he went astray in the future and no one pulled him back, what should he do? ?
Jiang's mother knew that she couldn't be with Jiang Xu for the rest of her life. She would rather be harsher and stricter to him when she was a child than Jiang Xu would follow others to be a local hooligan after she died, and spend her whole life in a daze.
Gu Qingzhou patted the rain on his shoulder: "But you still seem to like to fight."
Jiang Xu smiled and looked at him: "Believe it or not, I haven't fought since I graduated from high school."
Those previous impulses seem to be gone, and there is no one or anything that can make Jiang Xu fight regardless of the consequences. He used to be a man of the hour when he was in school, but after he stepped out of the school, he finally started to calm down and become a Ordinary people.
But when he lived this kind of peaceful and stable life, he seemed to have lost the lonely courage of his youth, his blood was silent deep in his heart, he was calm during the day, but he was clamoring endlessly at night when he was tossing and turning.
"I believe,"
Gu Qingzhou said, "I believe it."
Drops of water rolled down the eaves of the umbrella, drop by drop, interweaving into thin rain curtains, and the water on the ground rippled in circles, reflecting the old telephone poles and the light-colored sky, breaking up and gathering again.
Seeing a pair of white-haired old men passing by, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but smile: "I don't know what we will look like when we get old."
Jiang Xu said cheaply: "I'm sure I'll be handsome when I'm old, but you may not be."
Gu Qingzhou glanced at him lightly: "I don't have to work overtime and stay up late to draw pictures, maybe you will be bald when you are old."
The car was parked on the side of the road, Gu Qingzhou sat in the driver's seat, Jiang Xu put away his umbrella and got on the other side of the car. Hearing this, he touched his hair unconsciously, and it felt quite thick.
The road was a bit blocked, Gu Qingzhou asked: "Is there a shortcut here?"
Jiang Xu was about to speak when he heard the words, when the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Mother Jiang. He read it word by word, and couldn't help but pause. It took him a while to react, and his eyelids trembled. .
Gu Qingzhou stopped the car: "what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xu turned off the phone: "It's nothing, let's go back."
Gu Qingzhou: "What?"
Jiang Xu smiled and repeated again: "I said let's go back and spend the Dragon Boat Festival together."
After he finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car, held up an umbrella in the rain curtain, went around to the other side and pulled Gu Qingzhou down, and walked straight to the house, passing by the passing crowd, holding hands tightly.
Maybe many years later, they will grow old together, slowly and calmly stay with time. Only those who have experienced separation will understand how difficult it is to meet each other, and how difficult it is to reconcile as before. .
Time flies like an arrow and urges people to grow old, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle to a young man.
Gu Qingzhou was lucky enough, and Jiang Xu was also lucky enough. They both met the person who was willing to lean the umbrella towards them in the heavy rain. They regretted the gap of several years of separation, and were glad to meet again.
Then we will meet the sorrows of the rest of our lives, and we will spend a long time...
