love like drunk

A leaf floated down from the top of the head, and it fell leisurely at the foot. Gu Wenxi picked it up, and straightened the yellowed and slightly curled leaf surface as if to kill boredom.

Du Yunyan asked him to wait for a while, and brought out some food - fruit, homemade bread, and even a small bag of jerky for him to take on the road.

Gu Wenxi smiled when she saw it. The interrupted conversation on New Year's Eve did not add to the embarrassment of the relationship between the two. On the contrary, he was glad that he did not say impulsive words too quickly.

Words like "like" or even "love" are not difficult words of love for Gu Wenxi, but facing Du Yunyan, the words that were not revealed that day and may be accompanied by frivolous words cannot be called meaningful "choices".

The twilight of the morning light lengthened the shadows cast by the two on the ground, although they were standing some distance away, the shadows seemed to be cuddling together.

Gu Wenxi's credit card was unfrozen, and he wanted to make up for the room and board owed.Du Yunyan didn't answer: "No need, you're not doing nothing."

"How can I help you pay for the room fee—" He suddenly stopped, his eyes turned around on the other person's face, "Or do you think I'm special so you don't charge? If that's the case, then I won't You're being polite," he continued without giving Du Yunyan a chance to refute, "Or I'll give it to you next time I come."

Du Yunyan pursed his lower lip, kept his eyes closed, looked at the shadow on the ground, and said four words: "Be careful on the road."

The weather was fine, standing by the fence, the dark mountain ridges in the distance had already been outlined, Yang Yang and Bei Bei circled around Gu Wenxi twice.This dog is really human, knowing that he is going to leave, he has become closer to him than Du Yunyan in the morning.

Du Yunyan watched him get into the car, watched him lower the window, and waved to himself.Gu Wenxi's smile is hearty and free and easy, maybe he often does this, saying goodbye to every passer-by on the journey.

As for what he said, Du Yunyan didn't take it too seriously, everything will be back on track after all.After the white SUV disappeared on the country road, he turned and walked back to the small building where he lived alone.

However, at noon that day, he received a registered letter from S city, which disturbed the peaceful rhythm of life unexpectedly.

The car drove out along the winding mountain road.The weather changed as it said, and the clear and wide field of vision just now was soon replaced by sporadic light rain.

The temperature did not drop below zero, and the raindrops could not condense into snow, and fell in a patter.The wipers are set to automatic mode, and they only shake lazily when the raindrops are dense enough to a certain extent.Then a new one fell, still weak and weak, not enough to block the line of sight.But a layer of white mist gradually covered the glass, and Gu Wenxi had to turn on the defogging mode.

The rain almost followed him all the way, and he drove to a rest stop at noon. Instead of getting out of the car to find a restaurant, he took out the food that Du Yunyan asked him to bring.

The bread was similar to the one he ate for breakfast for the first time, except that red bean paste was added in it, which was thin and sticky, with a slightly sweet taste.

In the afternoon, as soon as his car entered S City, he caught up with a traffic jam. He didn't see the shadow of the apartment building until it got dark.The city lights are flickering, and the tall buildings in the night are like giant ships floating on the dark ocean.

The Gu family's mansion is farther away, he didn't go back there today, and went straight to his own den.

Opening the door of the apartment, flipping the light switch, one can see the immaculate hall, the white tiled floor gleaming like a mirror, obviously cleaned recently.I also know that it is Gu Yuqing or Gu Wenheng who called, and they are the ones who have the key here.

Not surprisingly, there is also some food in the refrigerator.In the past, even if someone helped him prepare the ingredients, he was too lazy to do it himself, and would rather order takeaway.But now that he can cook a lot, he has no appetite for a big meal for the time being, so he cooks the rice first, and then picks up two random meats to defrost.

He sent Du Yunyan a WeChat message announcing his arrival, then sat on the sofa to read a magazine, and occasionally glanced at the phone on the coffee table, quietly.

A few minutes later, without waiting for a message from Du Yunyan, Gu Wenheng called in.

"Brother," his voice was always healthy, "how is it, the apartment is tidied up well, isn't it?"

"It's good," Gu Wenxi understood as soon as she heard it, "You made it for me?"

"I'm just an overseer, someone my father asked me to find."

"Really..." This wasn't too unexpected, Gu Yuqing was strict but still had a delicate side, "Thank you."

"Then are you going home tomorrow?"

The "home" he mentioned naturally refers to Gu's house. Gu Wenheng doesn't like to live in an apartment off-campus, and lives at home during winter and summer vacations.Gu Wenxi threw the magazine aside, subconsciously nodded into the microphone: "Go back, I'll go back in the morning."

"Great! Then I'll ask Aunt Mei to cook more food."

Aunt Mei is an aunt invited by their family. There are no other relatives in the family, and they will stay in Gu's family during the Chinese New Year.

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wenxi's heart softened a lot, but the wechat chat interface with Du Yunyan on the phone was still stuck on the message [I'm home] that she sent.

The temperature in the apartment is constant throughout the year, and it is still a little hot in a sweater. He leans on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.The aroma of the cooked rice wafted into the living room, but he had already fallen asleep.

The next day, Gu Wenxi returned to Gu's residence as scheduled.

"Wen Xi is back?" It was Gu Wenheng's mother, Zou Hui, who greeted him first.

"Well, hello, Aunt Hui."

The whole family was there, Gu Wenheng enthusiastically said to help him get the drink he just bought.

When Gu Yuqing saw the eldest son who had been away from home for several months, he was neither alienated nor exaggeratedly enthusiastic. He put down the mobile phone he had seen halfway, looked at him and asked, "Didn't you say you lost thirty catties?"

Gu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Dad, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I don't believe it." He gave his son a meaningful look and stood up from the sofa. "Come with me."

The father and son went to the tea room on the first floor to talk alone.Gu Wenxi was a little strange: "What's the matter, so mysterious?"

"Wen Xi, that day—" Gu Yuqing lowered his voice, "It's actually your mother's death day, right?"

Gu Wenxi's memory immediately went back to the day when the two quarreled, because he stayed in the cemetery for a long time, and he arrived home late, which directly led to the subsequent quarrel.But in the past so long, he has long let go of it, and he doesn't even want to think about it.

"What are you talking about now?" Gu Wenxi pursed her lips, "It's all over."

"I still want to tell you—sorry, I forgot. It was Xiaomei who reminded me later, and I didn't know why you lost your temper so much."

Gu Wenxi knew that his father was a man of affection, and he might not have any love for his mother, but the guilt was always real.He said slowly: "Okay, after so many years, I think she still doesn't want you to be troubled."

After a long while, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Gu Wenxi joked casually: "Just now, I was so serious, I almost thought you asked me to discuss marriage with a famous daughter."

"You—" Gu Yuqing's expression was half-smiling and half-uncomfortable, "Don't be so out of shape, I will never interfere with your future marriage with Wen Heng." He has suffered a lot himself, so how could he use this kind of barrier to trap his children again? ?

"Really?" Gu Wenxi laughed, "You mean I can find anyone in the future?"

"Yes, the premise is that you can settle down," Gu Yuqing realized something after finishing speaking, "Could it be that you are in love again?"

"No." He didn't dare to swear in front of Gu Yuqing, so he could only insinuate, "I just want to ask, are you sure—anyone can be your daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah, can you still find a monster?" Gu Yuqing also liked to joke, "Even if you really find a monster, it's fine if you can hold back."

Gu Wenxi thought comfortingly, is it better to find a man than a monster?

It's just that Du Yunyan doesn't pay attention to him now, who knows if the flame of love can survive to the day of Liaoyuan.

"Also, next Tuesday is my birthday party, are you okay with the time?"

"Of course no problem," Gu Wenxi recovered, "Do you need any help?"

"No, Xiao Zhou has made arrangements, you can just go there and dress a little more formally."

This matter was settled last year, and Gu Wenxi had no objections.

At noon, he stayed in the mansion to have dinner with his family.In the afternoon, Gu Wenheng had a party with some classmates, and Gu Wenxi went out together.Gu Wenheng had just obtained his driver's license and was not yet familiar with driving, so Gu Wenxi let him take his own car and sent him back to the apartment.

"Will you make a detour?"

"It's okay, isn't it just about the gas pedal?" Just as Gu Wenxi finished speaking, the phone rang, and he picked it up without looking at who it was, "Hello?"

"Wen Xi, are you back?"

He was already familiar with Jiang Chen's voice, but this kid really knew his whereabouts. He just posted a photo of the apartment in Moments in the morning, and he was discovered.

"Well, what happened?"

"Don't you remember? I said I have something to tell you!"

It seems that there is such a thing, he has not paid much attention to it: "Then you find a cafe?"

"Wen Xi," Jiang Chen said hesitantly, "Can you come to my apartment?"

"What are you doing at your apartment?"

They used to visit each other's apartments a lot, and Zeng Bonian was added, but after the relationship with Jiang Chen became awkward, it was difficult for Gu Wenxi to regain the original intimacy.Is there anything that cannot be said in public?

"Can you...can you kiss me once?"

What he said was pitiful, and Gu Wenxi was even more confused.According to the past relationship, Jiang Chen always gave way to him a lot, and rarely said such begging words.

"Okay, I see, are you home now?"

"Well, are you coming over now?"

"I'm going to send my brother off," Gu Wenxi glanced at the co-driver quickly, "and then it'll be fine."

After finishing the call, Gu Wenxi put the car into forward gear.

"Brother, do you have something to do?" Gu Wenheng basically heard it, "How about I call a car?"

"No, it's more convenient."

The champagne-colored car drove out of the villa area, and after a few minutes, it got on the elevated road and merged into the traffic flow.
