madness

City A has a lot of rain and few sunny days, the house is in the mountains, the fog is heavy and humid, and the central air conditioner is on 24 hours a day.

It’s raining again today, a figure kneeling in the drizzle, kneeling very upright in the garden, jacarandas with luxuriant branches growing to cover the sky, many falling with the wind, all in his garden Eyelashes and between brows.

Faint cyanotic purple.

While twisting the rag in her hand, the little maid quietly looked out through the window, feeling restless.

Young Master Gu finally came back. He was fine when he went out, but he was covered with scars when he came back.Not only that, Grandma Gu didn't have any pity, and mercilessly drove the other party to kneel as a punishment, and before kneeling, she slapped the board with a ruler.

In fact, Grandma Gu was shocked when she just received the call from the hospital. The three souls lost the seven souls, the beads in her hand were cut off, and they collapsed to the ground. She rushed to the hospital in a hurry. Also almost fell down.

Gu Zehuan was lying on the hospital bed dripping with blood, which made people feel scared and frightened. When Grandma Gu asked where the injury came from, Gu Zehuan who was sitting on the hospital bed remained silent.

When he was not smiling, he was still a little cold. Grandma Gu also noticed the sense of distance, and remembered that it was caused by Gu Zehuan's insistence on going out. She became more and more annoyed, and finally remembered to settle accounts after autumn, and said coldly: "I Seeing that you don't have a long memory at all, you can't listen to my words, and you just treat my grandma as an outsider, so why don't you cure your ears, just sew them to death together!"

The little maid sighed, she didn't know what Young Master Gu replied, and it made Grandma Gu furious.She complained in her heart that Grandma Gu was unreasonable, that the young master's legs were not fully healed, and he was forced to kneel on such a rainy day, and at the same time, she complained that the young master was stupid and didn't know how to give Grandma Gu a step down.

After thinking about it, she finally couldn't bear the other party to kneel outside. Just as she was about to get up, she called Aunt Li who was next to her to stop her: "Don't do unnecessary things, don't forget who is in charge of this family."

"Grandma Gu just wants to show off the new young master, and no one can stop her."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a thunder outside, Aunt Li was about to say something, when the white light passed, the girl in the kitchen disappeared.

Her complexion changed, and she sneered again: "What an idiot who was dazed by beauty, and really thought that Young Master Gu would give her an extra look."

"It's no longer rare for such a person to like or not."

After the thunder, there was another bang, the sky was gloomy, and a thick layer of clouds had accumulated in an instant, seeing that it was going to rain cats and dogs, Gu Tianqi finally couldn't help but said: "It's going to rain, let the child come in. "

Grandma Gu closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, she was indifferent, and after a while, she asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Tianqi, who had already reached the door, turned around and said, "He has a knee injury, so he can't kneel in the rain for a long time. What if there are sequelae in the future, it will be a matter of a lifetime."

The old woman suddenly opened her eyes, and a bright light appeared in her cloudy and dark yellow eyes: "That's what he deserves, the Gu family doesn't need such unworthy descendants, if he is not Yao'er's child, how can I tolerate him over and over again?" And three times against me, when did I, Gu Yunxiu, get so angry. I want him to know that in this Gu family, as long as I don't die, he won't try to pull out my palm."

Gu Tianqi's breathing was stagnant, and his chest was almost suffocating. After a long time, he smiled bitterly again and again: "Mom, sometimes I really feel that you don't really love Yaodi, you just love yourself. Everything you do is just for Satisfy your own desire to control. You have always known what Yaodi did, but you never stopped him. You allowed him to commit a crime just because he was under your control, right?"

"Maybe only his death is unexpected to you. After all, you can control how he wants to live, but you cannot control how he wants to die."

With a "bang", the vase hit Gu Tianqi's cheek, and the broken porcelain scratched his skin, but it didn't stop him from continuing: "I always listen to you, but sometimes I really breathe However, after Yaodi died, you regarded me as his substitute and forced me to learn things I don't like. You know that I like music, but you smashed my piano, burned the music I composed, and A woman I don't like is stuffed into me and forced me to marry, and I can only live step by step according to the person you imagined."

"Everything is junk and worthless except what you think is good."

"I feed you, drink, live in, and prepare everything for you, but now it's my fault? Is it my mother? Everything I do is for your good! If you don't Gu family, who will look at you more, who gave you the money you started learning music?"

Grandma Gu's face flushed red with anger, her eyes widened, her chest heaved, and she kept gasping for air. The pain distorted her complexion, as if Shura had come back to life.

Seeing her in pain, Gu Tianqi still couldn't bear it, took the medicine on the table and asked her to take it.

After taking the medicine, the old woman gradually calmed down, while stroking the back of Gu Tianqi's hand, she murmured softly, "I'm doing this for your own good, Qi'er, you have to be obedient, I won't hurt you. After I die, won't all of this still belong to you?"

It was dark outside the window, and there were many dark shadows in the room. A huge gully appeared between Gu Tianqi and Gu Yunxiu. He remained silent, unable to cross it. His confidence and courage disappeared, leaving only endless emptiness.

After a long time, he responded: "I was wrong."

The old woman patted the back of his hand.

In the garden, Gu Zehuan was still kneeling, the lumpy cobblestone road, the moisture soaked the white pants, which did not have the effect of insulating the coolness at all.His hair was wet from the rain, sticking to his cheeks, black and moist.

The little maid approached, and the closer she got, the more frightened she became, and she was dazzled. I don't know if it was because of the faint fragrance of the jacaranda, or because of Gu Zehuan's lips moistened with mist, as beautiful as a cherry that was accidentally crushed this morning. .

The rain was blocked, Gu Zehuan raised his head, and a bead of water fell from his eyelashes.

The little maid was even more dizzy, stammering and saying: "Little...young master, go inside, it's raining too much outside, you're going to catch a cold."

Gu Zehuan suddenly laughed.

Seeing that smile, the little maid's heartbeat suddenly soared, she didn't know what the world was like: "You...what are you laughing at?"

"I used to hold an umbrella for others, but this is the first time someone has held an umbrella for me."

Gu Zehuan said.

One second she was flying in the sky, and the next second she fell hard to the ground. The little maid thought to herself that Master Gu would also hold an umbrella for others.

Who would share an umbrella with Young Master Gu on a rainy day?

Gu Zehuan asked again: "Did grandma ask you to call me?"

The tone was so soft and innocent.

The little maid was stunned for a moment, she really couldn't bear to break the boy's fantasy, the rain-soaked cheeks made her heart soften so badly.She bit her lips tightly and lied bravely: "Grandma Gu called, please come in with me quickly."

After mentioning Grandma Gu's name, Gu Zehuan really stood up and brushed off the jacarandas on her body one by one.

The little maid looked at the flowers falling down, feeling a little regretful for no reason, Young Master Gu and the flowers really knew each other, but looking at the other party, it seemed that she didn't like those flowers very much, so she carefully picked them off one by one.

It looks like there is something dirty on the clothes.

While still in a trance, the other party stood up.

She was short, and Gu Zehuan didn't show it when she was kneeling, but when the other party stood up, it was a bit difficult, and her arms needed to be raised high.

Gu Zehuan took the umbrella from her and took it for himself.

The little maid froze for a moment, her face blushing even more.

The umbrella was still tilted and turned towards her.

Gu Zehuan walked with her in the rain on one left and one on the right. The little maid wished that the distance from the garden to the villa was as far away as possible. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but feel lost.

It wasn't until Gu Zehuan put away the umbrella that the little maid woke up like a dream, she hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Young master, even if you really don't like Grandma Gu, you have to endure it until after the college entrance examination. She's a sick person, very sick, only she doesn't know it."

"The doctor said the head will be alive in a few days."

"It's just a few months."

Gu Zehuan didn't react much after hearing this, the little maid couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and heard the other party's voice before leaving: "Thank you."

She suddenly showed a smile: "You are welcome."

Turning around, she saw Aunt Li standing next to the kitchen. The other party showed a sympathetic and compassionate expression, as if she could see through the little maid's mind.

"Li...Aunt Li."

Aunt Li turned her face away again, and said calmly: "Do you think that no one will see what you do?"

"Go up to the second floor, Mrs. Gu is looking for you."

Now the little maid's face was really pale, and the rain dripped down her trousers and flowed all the way.

On the second day, no one mentioned that Gu Zehuan was punished to kneel yesterday. Grandma Gu saw Gu Zehuan sitting at the dinner table and asked, "How is this dish? Does it suit your appetite?"

"Ah."

Seeing Gu Zehuan eat the minced meat eggplant she picked up, Grandma Gu nodded in satisfaction, and then said insinuatingly: "The maid in the kitchen has changed today, maybe the taste will be better."

Gu Zehuan didn't speak.

Grandma Gu continued to remind: "That one is named Ah Liu."

After a while, Gu Zehuan swallowed the eggplant, and said unhurriedly, "Sorry, grandma, I haven't been here long, so I can't remember the servant's name."

Seeing that Gu Zehuan's expression did not seem to be fake, Grandma Gu picked up a chopsticks of braised pork ribs for him.

Aunt Li standing aside couldn't help thinking of the little maid who left overnight, she shook her head.

When the little maid left, her face was pale and tears were streaming down her face. It was obvious that the old lady had said very ugly words. She felt sorry for her sincerity and bore the old lady's anger for the young master. In the end, the other party didn't even remember her name.

As long as the young master has a little sincerity, he won't even ask why the other party left, most likely he really didn't take it to heart at all.

But this is not the only poor person.

Looking at Gu Zehuan sitting on the chair, Aunt Li thought to herself, I'm afraid there are many people here vying to be that poor man.

It was almost evening after finishing the make-up class, Gu Zehuan brushed up a few sets of papers, and Grandma Gu came to see him a few times during the period, and asked him not to be too tired, and asked the kitchen to make a supper for him.

The one who delivered the supper was a young man who looked very young. His face was not surprising, but his expression was submissive: "Master, this... this is what the old lady asked me to bring over."

Gu Zehuan took the plate in his hand, and before the other party left, he suddenly asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

The young man let out an "ah", his ears were flushed, and he quickly turned up his pocket: "This cigarette is not very good...don't hold it against you."

He didn't have the guts to ask the other party why he wanted cigarettes. Grandma Gu wouldn't even allow her servants to smoke, let alone let her grandson smoke.

It was also because the housekeeper didn't search his body carefully on the first day he took office today.

Gu Zehuan lit the lighter and exhaled a smoke ring, looking familiar.

"Thank you."

The young man didn't dare to look at him directly. Gu Zehuan looked good with the cigarette between his fingers, and biting the cigarette butt with his eyebrows lowered. From the corner of his eye, he could only catch a glimpse of his red and plump lips.

He said in a strange way: "Young Master, if you need anything, you can call me. My name is Wang Ming."
