Goldberg Variations

"Do you think you think, did you ask? You think it is what you think." Yu Shuangshuang hated iron and steel, and she could already guess what he was thinking without Pei Wen saying more.

"Look at you, you are so good-looking, so polite and self-restraining, you are so charming on stage, so many people like your performance."

"Look more at your own strengths."

Yu Shuangshuang persuaded reflexively, and suddenly remembered that it was useless after speaking, so she simply stopped persuading, sighed inwardly, relaxed as much as possible, and asked with a smile:

"Have you taken your medicine well recently?"

This kind of reassurance is actually useless to patients with depression, and they can't listen to it.

At the same time, the excessive expectation of hoping that they will get better soon will also become a burden, making them blame themselves "Why can't I always get better", which will have a negative impact on the contrary.

So what she should do is to take proper care, accompany her more, and be patient, that's all.

Of course, she must first protect herself—this is not to say that patients with depression will harm others, but because, if they over-accept the negative emotions conveyed by patients with depression, and they cannot resolve them, it is easy to mess with themselves. Depressed.

Yu Shuangshuang had heard such examples before.

Pei Wen nodded: "Eat."

"Very good, he is an obedient and good boy." Yu Shuangshuang patted him on the shoulder, "In addition to taking medicine well, you should also communicate with others more, and heart diseases should be healed by heart medicine."

"Didn't the doctor also advise you to spend more time with your friends?"

Pei Wen agreed.

Seeing Pei Wen pawing at the lunch box with a look of no appetite, Yu Shuangshuang felt very distressed.

"Eat more, look at you, you are almost skinny." She couldn't help but say.

Pei Wen smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Yu Shuangshuang looked at him for a long while, but didn't mention it again.The two chatted for a while, and Yu Shuangshuang didn't get up until someone told Pei Wen to continue rehearsing.

Before leaving, she glanced at Pei Wen, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't hold back.

"Pei Wen, if you like Gu Kai, you can... be bold, maybe, he is different from what you think?"

"I think, after so many years, you should try to get rid of the past and start a new life, right?"

"You can't dwell on the past forever."

Yu Shuangshuang seemed to mention some taboo, Pei Wen's face froze slightly, and after a while, his tense body relaxed.

"I see." He nodded.

"Pei Wen! Come here, the rehearsal is on!" Someone in the distance called him again.

"coming!"

He promised in a loud voice, Pei Wen didn't have time to think about those things, so he took the time to rehearse.

Another rehearsal until the wee hours of the morning.

That night, Pei Wen went back to the hotel and fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he turned on his phone and noticed that someone had added him as a friend.

It's Gu Kai.

Pei Wen's heart skipped a beat.

His fingers hesitated on the reject and agree buttons, so hesitant that it was time to go out, he didn't think about it.

Gu Kai found the tour itinerary of the Legendary Troupe on the Internet, and knew that Pei Wen's tour had come to an end.

He is going back to Jiangzhou soon.

Just the day before his return, Gu Kai's friend application was finally approved.

After finally adding it, Gu Kai didn't know what to say.

Looking at the time, he guessed that the other party was at the celebration banquet, so he asked Pei Wen to eat more food and drink less, and told him that the temperature in Jiangzhou had cooled down, so remember to add clothes when he came back.

Pei Wen didn't reply.

Gu Kai scratched his heart, wondering if Pei Wen simply didn't want to talk to him, or because he didn't see it.

If you don't want to talk to him, you don't need to go through his friend application at all... So at least Pei Wen doesn't reject talking to him, Gu Kai speculated uncertainly.

After the tour, Gu Kai inquired about the flight of the Legendary Troupe from Yu Shuangshuang, and he was stuck at the airport to pick up people like a star chasing girl.

However, due to heavy rain, the flight was delayed.

Gu Kai waited at the airport for more than an hour, and he waited for the people from the Legendary Theater Troupe, but he did not wait for Pei Wen.

Hong Qian was quite surprised when she saw him: "Didn't Pei Wen come back early? Didn't you see him?"

"?" Gu Kai said blankly, "No, he didn't say anything."

Hong Qian frowned: "That's strange, you can ask, he may be too tired and go home to rest."

Gu Kai walked out of the airport while calling Pei Wen.

As soon as the bell rang, the man connected.

"Where are you?" Gu Kai asked.

Pei Wen was at a loss for words, hesitated a few words, and then replied in a low voice: "I'm at the security booth at the gate of your community..."

This answer was completely beyond Gu Kai's expectations.

Gu Kai was stunned for two seconds, thinking he had heard wrong.

"My security booth?" Gu Kai was puzzled, "Are you looking for me?"

Pei Wen: "Yes."

He paused, then explained:

"I went to your store to look for you, but Wan Ying said you were out, and I didn't know where to look for you, so... I came to your house and waited."

"...Just wait, I'll go back right away!" Gu Kai was angry, funny and helpless.

He came to pick up Pei Wen at the airport, and Pei Wen came back early to find him.

Hang up the phone immediately and rush home quickly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the wipers were working desperately, and the front windshield was still covered in a ball by the torrential rain. Gu Kai was anxious, but he didn't dare to drive too fast.

After returning to the outside of the community, it was already more than half an hour later.

Gu Kai temporarily stopped the car outside the security booth, and yelled inside amidst the pattering rain.

Hearing the sound, Pei Wen poked his head out to look, and met Gu Kai's face.

He couldn't help smiling.

The gloomy sky seemed to brighten up.

"Come here."

The community area is very large, and it takes about ten minutes to walk from this security booth to the unit building where Gu Kai's house is located.

In such a heavy rain, even with an umbrella, the clothes will be soaked.

Pei Wen didn't bring anything with him, rushed over in the rain, opened the door, and sat in the co-pilot.

Raindrops were still unavoidably sticking to his body, his short black hair was slightly wet, and the sweater was also dripping with raindrops.

Gu Kai took a few tissues to wipe his hair.

"Why did you come here?"

Before Pei Wen could sit still, he listened to Gu Kai's question.

"I..." Pei Wen felt uncomfortable.

After all, he was the one who said to reject him before, and he is the one who came to look for Gu Kai now, so Gu Kai can ignore him completely.

"...I'm here to apologize."

After entering the community, Gu Kai drove even slower, and while driving slowly in the rain, he asked, "That's it? Is it gone?"

Pei Wen was silent for a while, Gu Kai thought he would not answer, so he asked instead:

"Why didn't you reply to the message?"

"I want to see you."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and both of them froze for a moment.

"I'm back!" Pei Wen immediately denied it.

Gu Kai: "You just responded with a thank you, then you also called back?"

Pei Wen lowered his head: "...I don't know what to say."

And Gu Kai was already completely overwhelmed by Pei Wen's words "I want to see you", so he didn't care much about this trivial matter.

"Since you came to see me, why didn't you send me a message, call me, and wait here? What if I don't come back today?"

"Also, it's raining so heavily." Gu Kai glanced at Pei Wen, "You still wear such thin clothes and don't even bring an umbrella. Are you afraid of getting sick?"

Because of worry, Gu Kai unconsciously used a tone of lecture.

Pei Wen drooped his head, and after a while, whispered:

"I'm afraid you ignore me."
