Goldberg Variations

Originally, Gu Kai was holding Pei Wen's wrist, separated by two layers of clothes.When the palms touch each other, there is no barrier.

In an instant, the hairs all over Pei Wen's body exploded. His instinct was faster than his brain's judgment, and he immediately pulled out his hand.

Gu Kai was stunned on the spot, completely unexpected that Pei Wen's reaction would be so great.

This was no longer a reaction of simply not liking him or not being mentally prepared to hold hands. The flash of panic and displeasure in Pei Wen's eyes made Gu Kai feel like a scourge.

Because of Gu Kai's slick face, Rao couldn't find words to ease this embarrassing situation for a while.

"sorry."

"sorry."

The first thing that sounded was the two people apologizing in unison.

Facing the astonishment in Pei Wen's gaze, Gu Kai smiled: "No need to apologize."

Pei Wen pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and tightly clenched the hand that Gu Kai had just touched.

"...I'm sorry." He still said.

"No need to apologize." Gu Kai said again, "I know you must have your own reasons, and I know you are not targeting me personally."

"It's just that you should tell me about this kind of thing in advance, so that I will be prepared and not accidentally step on your minefield."

"I..." Pei Wen moved his lips, suddenly moved.

But Gu Kai's tolerance and understanding made Pei Wen feel more guilty. In fact, he didn't hate Gu Kai, he just disliked physical contact itself.

He couldn't help feeling sad, and began to hate himself, the self who couldn't get out of his psychological shadow!

Facing Gu Kai's questioning gaze, Pei Wen took a step back.

He knew what Gu Kai wanted to ask, why did he do this, but Pei Wen couldn't open it.

Even though he never thought it was his fault, he still couldn't tell the second person about it.

"I'm sorry." Pei Wen said for the third time.

His voice was inexplicably choked up.

"No..." Gu Kai just opened his mouth, but at the next moment, Pei Wen lowered his head and turned around, and ran out of the gate of Seven Jewels like the wind, and quickly disappeared in front of Gu Kai.

"...Relationship." Gu Kaishang, who was standing there, did not react.

It wasn't until Pei Wen completely disappeared that he frowned irritably.

Gu Kai didn't try to catch up, and asked Pei Wen what happened, why he didn't want to tell, but just glanced at the ginkgo tree in the corner, then silently packed up his things and went out, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

The evening wind came blowing, blowing Gu Kai's hair.

As autumn gets stronger, it gets dark earlier and earlier.In the past, when Gu Kai got off work, the sky was still bright, but now the lights are already on.

In the night, Gu Kai turned his head and looked in the direction Pei Wen left, only to see pedestrians one after another, laughing and making noise, everyone immersed in their own world.

Phew, Gu Kai let out a silent breath, and went straight home.

When he pushed open the door and turned on the light, Bach rarely welcomed the return of the shit shovel officer, jumped off the sofa, raised his tail at him, and looked at Gu Kai with his green eyes without blinking.

"Meow~" He let out a lazy cry, rubbing his body against Gu Kai's trousers.

"Hungry?" Gu Kai bent down and scratched Bach's chin, not expressing his honor to the cat owner's attention.

After preparing cat food for Bach, Gu Kai squatted aside, watching him eat as usual.

Bach's satisfied expression when eating, healed Gu Kai's depressed mood very well.

After Bach finished eating and Gu Kai washed the dishes for him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and began to calmly think about countermeasures while making dinner for himself.

Just as the rice cooker was cooking the rice, the phone rang suddenly.

Gu Kai picked it up casually: "Hello?"

A flattering voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Kai, can you lend me some money?"

Gu Kai frowned slightly, took a look at the phone, saw the words Zhu Shaohui on the screen, and rolled his eyes: "I'm in a troubled mood, don't borrow it."

Zhu Shaohui is Gu Kai's good friend, the kind who grew up wearing a pair of trousers, and he bought Gu Kai's giant panda pajamas.

Before Zhu Shaohui got married, they were inseparable, but since this person got married, they have disappeared.

Occasionally calling, either to borrow money or to ask for shelter, Gu Kai really wished he had never known this person before.

"Lend me a little," Zhu Shaohui said, "Not too much, not too much, tens of thousands is fine. I recently saw a pot of orchids and wanted to buy them. But your sister-in-law is unwilling, saying that she wants to keep it for the children to go to school."

"She's not even pregnant yet. What kind of child is going to school?"

"Didn't I have no choice but to come to you? Seeing that we have shared weal and woe for so many years, you have to help me with this job."

"..." Gu Kai pinched the center of his eyebrows, "Okay, direct transfer or how can I give it to you?"

After all, Gu Kai is also a flower lover, so he can understand Zhu Shaohui's mood very well.

"If you don't transfer the money, you can pay for me directly, so as not to be discovered by your sister-in-law!" Zhu Shaohui said, "I will send you the QR code for the payment."

Gu Kai: "..."

"Okay." Ganqing's QR codes are all ready, just waiting for him to pay.

Zhu Shaohui twitched again: "I'll pay you back in installments, okay? The main reason is that I don't have enough pocket money for a month to pay you back."

Gu Kai couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, and truly felt sorry for his former brother.

Back then, Zhu Shaohui was also a spendthrift, tens of thousands of dollars was not considered at all.

With Pei Wen's gentle personality, he shouldn't be so strict, Gu Kai compared reflexively, and then realized that he hadn't even held her hand yet, so he was thinking too much.

"Why are you in a bad mood?" Zhu Shaohui didn't have time to ask Gu Kai after settling his major issues, "Say it out and let my brother analyze it for you."

Gu Kai: "Didn't it make you happy?"

Zhu Shaohui laughed twice: "Isn't it because you paid for me, are you sorry to be so straightforward?"

Gu Kai thought to himself, although Zhu Shaohui looked confused, at least he married a goddess, he hesitated a little, and said, "Is it convenient for you, I may have to talk for a long time."

When Zhu Shaohui heard it, he guessed with intuition that there were gossip, his eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "Yes, yes!"

He immediately changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa.

"Okay, let's talk."

In the past, when Zhu Shaohui chased the goddess, it was Gu Kai's trick. He didn't expect that Feng Shui would take turns, and it was his turn to stand up as a serf and sing.

At the same time, Zhu Shaohui was also curious, what could be wrong for a veteran like Gu Kai?

Zhu Shaohui's tone made Gu Kai feel a little regretful, and after thinking about it, forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.After all, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Maybe this kid can offer some constructive suggestions?

Gu Kai turned off the fire on the stove, leaned against the cooking table, and organized his thoughts: "It's like this, I fell in love with someone recently."

Zhu Shaohui: "Well, what then?"

"Whether he likes me or not, I'm not sure." Gu Kai frowned, it was always difficult for him to guess Pei Wen's thoughts, "But at least he doesn't hate me, um, it should."

Zhu Shaohui laughed: "It's rare, can someone make you Gu Kai so unpredictable?"

Gu Kai: "Don't interrupt."

Gu Kai immediately gave a general account of the state of the two of them getting along and what happened during this period, and mentioned Pei Wen's reaction today.

After finishing speaking, Gu Kai asked: "Tell me, what should I do now? I think I have done my best, but he still...doesn't trust me enough."

After Gu Kai finished speaking, Zhu Shaohui was about to speak when Gu Kai's cell phone vibrated suddenly.

It's a special reminder, from Pei Wen.

Gu Kai went to check the news immediately and found that Pei Wen asked him:

"Do you have time? I have something to tell you."
