"It's okay." Jiang Ling responded calmly, then walked past her, "I'm going to wash up first."

"Wait," Gu Qingyue stopped her, and handed her a bowl of soup from the dining table, "Drink the hangover soup before washing."

Jiang Ling snatched the hangover soup and drank it all. Instantly, her stomach felt warm, and she handed the empty bowl to her: "I'm going now."

"Ah."

Seeing Jiang Ling's appearance, Gu Qingyue broke his smile, isn't he shy?

Jiang Ling entered the bathroom calmly, then closed the bathroom door, took a few deep breaths, and praised herself in her heart for her good performance without revealing anything.

But when he saw himself in the mirror with blushing cheeks, Jiang Ling: "..."

Gu Qingyue turned on the TV in the living room, watched the TV for a while but found that she still hadn't come out, so he heated up the dishes on the dining table, and when he came back, he saw Jiang Ling poking his head out of the bathroom door.

Time stood still for an instant.

Jiang Ling came out of the bathroom silently: "Aren't you going to work today?"

Gu Qingyue felt that Jiang Ling's appearance was a little funny, so he didn't expose her, and replied: "No."

"Dry your hair first and eat." Gu Qingyue's voice was much gentler than before. Jiang Ling liked it in his heart but didn't dare to show it too obviously, because Gu Qingyue always changed his face easily, being gentle one moment and indifferent the next. He didn't express his feelings too much.

An old movie was playing on the TV. Gu Qingyue leaned on the sofa and kept his eyes on the TV, but his mind had already flown away. After a while, Gu Qingyue heard the sound of the hair dryer stop, accompanied by There is also Jiang Ling's slightly "concerned" voice.

"Say it again?" Gu Qingyue looked at her.

Jiang Ling thought it was the sound of the TV that prevented her from hearing what she just said, so she repeated: "Are you okay last night?"

"What do you think?" Gu Qing gritted his teeth when he thought about it, it was a good time to fall asleep, if she didn't see her sleeping soundly, she would have to shake her awake and let her suffer.

Seeing Gu Qingyue's expression, Jiang Ling also realized that she was asking a question that shouldn't be asked, isn't she the culprit?

but……

"Although I know what I did was wrong," Jiang Ling finally asked the second half of the sentence under Gu Qingyue's questioning eyes, "I'm still a little curious, how did you fall asleep last night?"

"Jiang, listen,"

"Ah, here." Jiang Ling immediately stood at attention obediently.

"Just sleep when you're sleepy like that." Seeing that she could not hide the curious expression on her face even if she stood at attention obediently, Gu Qingyue finally had no choice but to answer.

She didn't do anything, and finally stopped holding her, and then fell asleep.

Jiang Ling felt that Gu Qingyue was so talkative this morning, as if asking her for 1000 million now she would give it to her without blinking an eye.

This kind of Gu Qing is more beautiful, but it is also short-lived. Every time the two of them get along with each other in a friendly way, the time is too short. Every time, Jiang Ling is happy but scared.

Gu Qingyue didn't know what Jiang Ling was thinking, but seeing her expression changed from happy to disappointed to sad, and didn't want to delve into it, Gu Qingyue said again: "Come and eat."

Jiang Ling nodded.

At the dining table, Jiang Ling didn't remember the phone call from her mother until halfway through the meal. During the meal, she pretended to be casual and asked, "Did my mother call you?"

"Well, let's go home in the afternoon and have a look."

Jiang Ling secretly looked at Gu Qingyue's expression, and found that there was no resistance, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask: "Did you really agree?"

Gu Qingyue hummed again: "Isn't that your home? Isn't it right to accompany you home?"

Jiang Ling pursed her lips, didn't ask the phrase "You don't hate them", but nodded following her words.

The originally boring conversation was interrupted by a ringtone. Jiang Ling got up from the dining chair, picked up the phone from the sofa, and connected the phone. Before he came, he heard a weak voice asking: "Sister, Are you still awake? I sent you a lot of messages, why don't you reply to me. "

Hearing it was Guo Xiaoxiao's voice, he quickly apologized: "I slept for too long and didn't read the information."

"Sister, you haven't woken up from the bar yet? I heard you only had one drink? Oh, you must not have woken up. I've called you all morning, but you didn't answer."

Jiang Ling: "..."

morning?

Jiang Ling was so frightened that he quickly checked the call records. Sure enough, there were more than 20 missed calls, and five of them were from Li Feiyan.

Originally, she thought Li Feiyan called her for the first time, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. It must have been at least twenty times. That is to say, it is also a kind of fate that she woke up at noon to receive her call. .

"Sorry, I slept too hard, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, Sister Wang said she was going to take you to a dinner party, and she asked me to follow you, but I don't know where your home is."

Guo Xiaoxiao's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

Jiang Ling knew it was her own problem, so she quickly comforted her: "I will bring you to my house next time, don't be sad."

Guo Xiaoxiao became quiet when she heard her words, and asked, "Sister, are you okay? Sister Qingyue took you home last night. Do you live close to her house?"

Jiang Ling: "..."

Not sad, so I started to gossip.

"On the way."

Jiang Ling explained perfunctorily, then remembered what Guo Xiaoxiao said just now, and replied, "What time is it at night? I'm going home in the afternoon."

"Home? Sister, are you not at home now? Could it be..."

Jiang Ling guessed that Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she was at Gu Qingyue's house, although she was right to say that, anyway, both of their families are the same, but she didn't mean that just now.

"My parents' house."

"Oh." Guo Xiaoxiao hadn't heard Jiang Ling mention her parents much these years, so she didn't think about it for a while.

"Okay, I'll go back, and then you pick me up, and we'll go to the dinner together."

Jiang Ling didn't even ask what kind of dinner it was, anyway, she knew that Wang Zhi would not harm her or take her to any messy banquet, so she felt at ease.

At the dining table, Gu Qingyue was still eating slowly. Although Jiang Ling only got up at noon, she was not too hungry. When she just answered the phone, she felt full.

Now she didn't eat anymore, she just sat at the dining table and supported her head, looking at Gu Qingyue.

Noticing that Jiang Ling's gaze was always on her, Gu Qingyue stopped eating and looked at her: "Is the food not to your liking?"

Jiang Ling shook her head: "I'm not very hungry."

Gu Qingyue nodded, as if looking for a topic, and asked, "You just said you were going to the dinner party?"

"Ah."

"What dinner?"

"..."

Jiang Ling was silent for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't ask, but I guess it should be the crew of "Hearing"."

Gu Qingyue knew that she would join the group "Hear" tomorrow, and her thinking was normal.

but……

"Have you heard anything lately?"

"What news?" Jiang Ling was stunned by her question.

However, when Jiang Ling was curious, Gu Qingyue said: "It's nothing."

Jiang Ling: "..."

What Jiang Ling hates most in her life is that after people arouse her curiosity, they tell her it's nothing, it's just too hateful!But if this person is Gu Qingyue, that's another matter.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Ling started to clean up the dining table, ready to put the tableware into the dishwasher, Gu Qingyue tacitly got up to help her clean up together.

After cleaning up, Jiang Ling continued to ask the question just now: "Are you really going?"

"You don't want me to go?"

Seeing that she misunderstood, Jiang Ling quickly shook her head: "I didn't mean that, the main reason is..."

I'm afraid you will feel sick.

These words were not said by Jiang Ling, but by Gu Qingyue himself.

That was the first time Jiang Ling saw Gu Qingyue use such an expression to her parents. At that time, Jiang Ling didn't know what happened, but only knew that the child who had always listened to her parents suddenly became fierce, which was even more ridiculous. Yes, she was not on Gu Qingyue's side. When something happened, without understanding the matter, she used the attitude she had treated her in the past to question why she treated her parents like this.

Whenever she thinks about this incident, Jiang Ling only feels regret in her heart, she doesn't even know where Gu Qingyue went that night when she escaped from home, what happened, and how she persisted until today.

"Gu Qingyue..."

"Ok?"

"sorry."

Jiang Ling said this sentence to Gu Qingyue many times a long time ago, and every time the reply he got was "It's okay, I forgot about it".

Only when you remember, you will forget. She didn't even say sorry, but she said that she had forgotten.

The answer this time was still the same.

Seeing that her expression started to change again, Gu Qingyue regretted that he should not have said so much just now, in order to make her forget to think about it, Gu Qingyue began to urge Jiang Ling to change clothes quickly.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother have not managed the company much since two years ago. Although the company was rescued back then, the power of the position has been emptied a lot. life.

In fact, it didn't take long to get to the old house from Yulou in Nanyang, just an hour's drive away, but Jiang Ling didn't tell Jiang's father and Jiang's mother where she lived.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the old house, and Jiang Ling's plan was to stay here for an hour at most, just in time to attend the dinner when he returned.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the old house, I saw Jiang's father and Jiang's mother who had been waiting at the gate for a long time. It was half a year ago that Jiang Ling saw them last time, standing with Gu Qingyue and looking at the home where they had lived together for nearly ten years. Some trance.

"Let's go." There was no emotion in Gu Qingyue's voice.

After entering the old house, Gu Qingyue didn't say much. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother took turns asking about Jiang Ling's current situation. Jiang Ling answered them one by one. Qingyue made a sound, although it was just two words that were neither salty nor bland.

It seems that since Gu Qingyue left, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother spent more and more thoughts on Jiang Ling. After the accident in the company, they became more and more serious. They often worried about her and always tried to interfere in her affairs. Giving her what was not given to her, but it seemed like a desire to control, even though she no longer needed it.

The most regrettable childhood and adolescence were spent by Gu Qingyue with her. It was Gu Qingyue's company that made her forget the harm her parents had brought to her. However, when Gu Qingyue needed her the most, she was not by her side. beside.

"Let's go home." Jiang Ling said suddenly.

The more Gu Qing looked at her, he didn't quite understand why she said this suddenly, but he nodded according to her intention: "Okay."

Gu Qingyue has never been very good at expressing, tolerance and companionship are what she understands as love.

"Qingyue, can we chat for a while?" Mother Jiang asked hurriedly when she heard Jiang Ling said that she was going back.

Gu Qingyue didn't refuse, she also wanted to know what Jiang's mother wanted to say to her.

Jiang Ling originally wanted to stay next to Gu Qingyue, but Jiang's father stopped him with the reason that "we haven't played chess together for a long time".

Gu Qingyue told her not to worry, nothing would happen.

Jiang Ling was afraid that her mother would hurt Gu Qingyue. She still remembered when her mother tried her best to tell her not to marry Gu Qingyue and divorced her after marriage.

Jiang Ling looked at the closed door with some anxiety.

"Your mother is getting old, and she is not as smart as she was when she was young. I know she often gives you some bad ideas. Don't blame your mother. She is just idle and bored. You are not doing your part as a mother."

Jiang Ling hummed, placed a piece on the chessboard, and said, "I know I shouldn't blame you, but you really did go too far."

Father Jiang was silent for a while, then said: "Believe it or not, the matter of her parents really has nothing to do with us."

The same thing is going on on the other side.

When Jiang's mother told Gu Qingyue this, she guessed that she would not react, and might even mock them for daring to do something, but unexpectedly, Gu Qingyue just hummed.

Jiang's mother thought she believed it, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingyue just said lightly: "I know, so can I go?"

Mother Jiang sighed: "I admit that there is indeed a purpose for bringing you back, but no matter what, I have raised you anyway. Why do you treat us like this?"

Even now, even though Mother Jiang knew she was wrong, she still had a hard time thinking about Gu Qingyue's use of the company to "threat" them.

"Why are you doing this to Jiang Ling? She is innocent."

Gu Qingyue, who hadn't refuted or spoke much, laughed mockingly when he heard Mother Jiang say this: "Is it because of me? You can completely refuse."

"It's fine to pretend in front of Jiang Ling, but now that she's not here, there's no need to pretend to me."

Gu Qingyue got up, didn't intend to say anything more to her, and was about to leave the room.

Gu Qingyue's indifferent attitude surprised Mother Jiang, and after a while, Mother Jiang said again: "I know you hate us, but you can't treat Jiang Ling like that, she is innocent, she relies on you so much, you didn't see Do you see it?"

Gu Qingyue remained unmoved, holding the doorknob with his hand.

"Gu Qingyue."

"Jiang Ling has been looking for you for a whole night, but she couldn't find it. It rained heavily that day, she got caught in the rain, and fell ill with a high fever for three days and three nights. The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask where you were."

Gu Qingyue was about to pull the hand to open the door, but suddenly stopped, turned and looked at her: "What?"

She never heard about it.

Originally, there were not many people who knew that Jiang Ling was sick because of going out to look for Gu Qingyue. Jiang Ling was unwilling to tell, and neither Jiang's father nor Jiang's mother. As time passed, no one knew about it.

Originally, Jiang's mother didn't want to tell Gu Qingyue about this matter. Rather than letting Gu Qingyue treat Jiang Ling better and vent her resentment towards them on Jiang Ling, she would rather destroy the two and separate them, but now, Jiang In order that she could not even go home, she could only choose the former.

It turned out that she had looked for her the night she left, and she got seriously ill in the heavy rain just to find her...

Jiang Ling waited for Gu Qingyue outside the door for a long time, so long that she almost broke in.

Standing outside the door and hearing Gu Qingyue's reply, Jiang Ling felt much more at ease, so she had to urge her that the dinner party was about to start, and if it was later, it would be too late, so stop chatting.

Just when she was about to ask again, the door was finally opened.

Jiang Ling looked up and down Gu Qingyue's expression for the first time, and was relieved to see that she was no different from when she first entered.

Then say goodbye to your parents.

"If you are really bored, go on a trip, don't worry about me all the time."

Jiang Ling's voice is gentle, which can be regarded as the answer to Father Jiang's last question.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Gu Qingyue sat in the driver's seat, and Jiang Ling fastened his seat belt, but found that Gu Qingyue didn't move.

Just as he was about to inquire, he heard Gu Qingyue's inquiring voice: "At that time, you looked for me all night?"

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and it was not hard to guess that her mother must have told her about it.

"That's right, who told you to run too fast and didn't catch up." Jiang Ling said in a relaxed tone.

Gu Qingyue didn't speak, just nodded, and then started the car.

The two of them didn't speak much along the way.

Jiang Ling didn't know how much her mother had said to Gu Qingyue, and for a while she hesitated whether she should talk to her about that day.

Just as she was hesitating, her cell phone rang.

The caller displayed on the screen is Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Sister, where can I pick you up!"

Jiang Ling glanced at the time, it was almost five o'clock.

"The main entrance of Nanyang Yulou." Jiang Ling thought for a while and added, "What kind of dinner is today?"

"It's a welcome banquet for that talented designer."

"Whose reception banquet are you talking about...?"

"It's the founder of the L&X fashion brand, Yu Chuxue who won the International Designer Gold Award."

Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to guess that Jiang Ling didn't know, and deliberately answered in detail.

But Jiang Ling murmured: "Sister Chuxue, is she back?"

Then, the sudden sound of brakes startled Jiang Ling. Now their car was parked at the intersection, and it was their turn at the red light. Jiang Ling didn't know if she was scared.

Jiang Ling didn't think much about it, and asked, "How are you?"

Gu Qingyue heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head: "It's okay."
