Moonlight sultry

Before Gu Jiao took the initiative to go over, the man sitting in the corner lowered the brim of his hat, looking even more ghostly.

Winnie frowned, and was about to ask Xiao Hei to test it out, but Gu Jiao stopped her.

"I'll go and have a look myself." The woman said calmly, but she was a little more familiar.

"No way, the kids know about it, but they're jealous." Winnie raised her eyebrows, and glanced at the bead string on the woman's wrist, "I won't keep it a secret from you."

"As expected of a good friend of mine." Gu Jiao praised.Although Winnie has struggled in the society for many years, the integrity in her heart has never changed, and it was she who stopped Gu Jiao during the most embarrassing period, "But don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Anyway, I asked Xiao Hei to keep an eye on him all the time, and if something happened, he would leave quickly." Winnie said.She also didn't believe that Gu Jiao's safety could not be kept in her own place.

Gu Jiao made an ok gesture, then put down the wine glass and walked towards the corner.

"Hello?" The woman casually sat next to the man, and the wind blowing around brought the smell of perfume over. The man was a little at a loss and pressed down on the brim of his hat again, trying to bury his face in the darkness forever.

Gu Jiao has also been observing him secretly, watching the man reach out and grab the cup.

"Do you know me?"

Men don't speak.

"Or another question, do I know you?"

The opponent stopped moving, and even his fingers were trembling slightly.

"I know you." Gu Jiao raised the corners of his mouth and said firmly. The man's entire face was buried in the shadows, leaving only a clear jaw line. It seemed that he became more flustered, and the man's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

It's really trying to cover up.Gu Jiao sighed in his heart, while the other party was not paying attention, he took off his hat. For a moment, all the disguises were at a loss, and the man even turned his face away, unwilling to face Gu Jiao.

"Gu Hao."

The woman's red lips parted slightly, and she called out the man's name.At this time, the man, no, it should only be said that it was a young man who slowly turned his head to look at his sister whom he hadn't seen for almost ten years under the dim light.

"How did you recognize me?" Gu Hao smiled awkwardly, facing his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was even embarrassed at this moment.

"How do you know I'm here?" Gu Jiao didn't answer his question, but asked indifferently.

But soon she knew the answer.

"Xiang Yunshen?"

Gu Hao nodded silently.

really.Gu Jiao lightly tutted, she shouldn't have expected that guy to keep a secret.

"Does Mom and Dad know?" she asked again.

"I don't know." Gu Hao's tone was a little dull, as if the fantasy meeting scene before was broken, and the only thing left between the two was the strangeness and embarrassment of ten years.

Originally, my sister loved him very much.But now he is like a stranger, anyone who thinks about it will not understand.

So he raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, but before he could move, Gu Jiao held the glass down.

"Gu Hao. Why did you come here?" Gu Jiao asked calmly, but the young man's eyes were full of cold blood and ruthlessness.

"Why don't you go home?" he demanded.

"You should go back and ask your parents." The Gu family smiled, took the cup from the young man's hand and put it on the table.

"We haven't seen each other for ten years, right? You were only 12 years old when you went to study abroad." Gu Jiao sighed, time really passed quickly.

"So what, anyway, you never cared about me." Gu Hao said in a low voice, his voice was small but clearly reached Gu Jiao's ears.

She chuckled, raised her eyes to see the sight from the bar counter, and gave Winnie a soothing smile.

"Are you from the capital?" Gu Jiao asked with a smile.

"I go to school in J City." Gu Hao curled his lips, and finally added, "I'm already a senior."

"Parents actually let you leave the capital?" Gu Jiao was a little unbelievable. Logically speaking, after she was out of control, her dear parents should put all their energy on Gu Hao and were unwilling to let him leave their side for half a step.

In fact, she is very clear and understands her selfishness.She chose freedom and left the restraint to Gu Hao.

After meeting Xiang Yunshen again, she asked for a photo of Gu Hao now.

The young man in the photo is sunny and handsome, the smile on his face can not see a trace of haze, her younger brother is growing up very well.

"I secretly reported my volunteering." Gu Hao shifted his gaze, not wanting to meet Gu Jiao's gaze.

But these words made the woman laugh. As expected of the Gu family, there is rebellion hidden in their bones.

"Is it funny?" Gu Hao frowned.

"Congratulations." Gu Jiao said the text was wrong.

Looking at her sister's sincere smile, it seems that the grievances in her heart have dissipated a lot over the years, but Gu Hao still feels sad and awkward in his heart.

There are too many things he wants to ask this casual looking woman in front of him——

Why are you like this?

why are you leaving

Why are you abandoning me?

……

Thousands of words of incomprehension finally turned into one sentence: "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao said, she looked carefully at her younger brother's face, and noticed a small scar on the brow.

"What's going on here?" she asked, frowning.

"This, here?" Gu Hao touched it somewhat at a loss, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Jiao.

"Gu Hao." The woman's tone became more serious.

Gu Hao just let go of his hands, pursed his lips for a long time before saying: "It's about high school."

At that time, for some reason, the news about Gu Jiao spread to China, and they all speculated about her sister at will, saying that she had messed around abroad and had lost face to the Gu family.

Also young and energetic, Gu Hao immediately fought with them, kowtowed, and got a few stitches.

Gu Jiao sighed.

She doesn't mind what other people think of her or say about her. To be honest with the current situation, nothing can hurt her.

But she forgot that these words silently hurt the person who loves her.

"There is no need to have conflicts with others because of these in the future." Gu Jiao said.

"So you mean that you don't care no matter how bad others say?" Gu Hao's emotions were a little excited.

"No." Gu Jiao frowned, for a moment he didn't know how to communicate with this younger brother, "There's no need to hurt yourself because of me."

"It's my self-indulgence, it's my wishful thinking, it has nothing to do with you!" Gu Hao's eyes were even red, but Gu Jiao couldn't see clearly under the dim light.

"Gu Hao, the most important thing is yourself." Gu Jiao said.

"Okay..." Gu Hao's mood was obviously a little wrong, "I thought you would be happy seeing me, but it turned out that I was thinking too much."

With that said, he got up and prepared to leave.

"I'm very happy to meet you." Gu Jiao grabbed the young man's wrist, "You are my only younger brother."

"That's right, the only younger brother." Gu Hao repeated, he turned his head to look at Gu Jiao, but the woman's face was so strange, "But you still selfishly chose to give up on me."

"From beginning to end, you love only yourself."

"Can you really love others? Gu Jiao."

Gu Jiao was stopped by the question.She froze in place, Lin Zhuo's beautiful face involuntarily appeared in her mind, happy, sad, joyful... How could she not love?

She loves Lin Zhuo.

"You want to run away from your parents, but why did you run away from me?" Gu Hao was still questioning, he seemed to want to vent all the grievances he had suffered in the past ten years, and the fragility of watching family photos crying in the dead of night.

But does she really understand the woman in front of her?Does she really have a heart?

"I have been waiting for you."

At the end of speaking, Gu Hao wiped his eyes with his sleeve fiercely, with a bit of self-abuse.

"……sorry."

So far, nothing can be said.

Gu Jiao was a little helpless.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Gu Hao frowned, "But do you work here?"

Gu Jiao nodded, she was inexplicably embarrassed and didn't want to face the young man.

"Go back... Mom and Dad miss you a lot." He hesitated for a long time before saying.

"I thought they would wish for me to die outside." Gu Jiao smiled, with their family's education model, it would drive people crazy sooner or later.

"How is that possible?" Gu Hao retorted. Since five years ago, he has often seen his mother weeping in front of the mobile phone silently. Once, he deliberately looked at the screen and found that it was a picture of Gu Jiao when he was a child.

At that time he asked: "Where did my sister go?"

But my mother just forced a smile: "She went to work elsewhere."

Maybe he had a premonition at that time: "Will she come back?"

Mother was silent, and after a long time she said slowly, "No more."

"Mom and Dad really miss you." It's the same sentence after all.

Gu Jiao shrugged, noncommittal.

Gu Hao was a little discouraged, and for the first time reflected on why he couldn't have a clever mouth.

"I'm happy here." It's a smile and a sense of well-being that comes from the heart, from the inside out.

"Are you talking about a boyfriend?" Gu Hao blinked, sure enough, gossip is the nature of human beings at any time.

"They didn't tell you?" Gu Jiao raised his eyebrows, "I like women."

Gu Hao froze in place, he was not opposed to homosexuality, but he finally knew where the embarrassment of his parents had treated him over the years.

"No wonder..." Gu Hao muttered in a low voice, "They are afraid that I will fall in love prematurely, so girls won't let me touch them, and neither can men."

It turned out that she was worried about following in Gu Jiao's footsteps and walking on a "road of no return".

Gu Jiao couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that the aggrieved younger brother was really amusing.

And the time was right, Lin Zhuo walked into the bar and saw such a scene.

Her face was so calm that she didn't disturb Gu Jiao, and went up to the second floor on her own. From the sofa upstairs, she could just see what happened in the corner through the gap in the railing.

What a laugh.

Lin Zhuo thought in his heart.Can't help but squeeze the phone tightly, made many calls to Gu Jiao just now, but didn't answer any of them.

The coolness of the beads on her wrist woke her up from her own world. Lin Zhuo looked down at the cinnabar bracelet and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

It's okay, just explain everything clearly.

She comforted herself like this in her heart, but her eyes involuntarily glanced in that direction.

What are you talking about?

If he felt something, Gu Jiao raised his eyes to the second floor, and happened to meet Lin Zhuo's gaze.

She froze on the spot for a moment, looked at Lin Zhuo's faint smile, lowered her head and touched her pocket, but the phone was gone.

It should be in the bag, and the bag is on the bar.

She looked up again, but Lin Zhuo had already restrained her gaze, and sat on the sofa to play with her mobile phone.

The situation is not right.

Alarm bells ringing in my head.Gu Jiao said to Gu Hao, "You sit here first, I have something to do."

The young man nodded, and saw his sister go up to the second floor without looking back.

He raised his eyebrows and looked over, meeting the eyes of a girl sitting on the sofa.

Gu Hao opened his eyes wide.

It was the first time for him to feel his heartbeat as a solo mother, and he was about to go up to ask for WeChat, but he saw Gu Jiao sitting next to the other party, and the two were talking.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jiao asked, and sat beside Lin Zhuo intimately, wanting to hold his hand.

"I came here just to see you." Lin Zhuo said calmly, which made Gu Jiao's heart feel sweet.

"It turned out that you were quite happy without me." The momentary low air pressure overwhelmed Gu Jiao, she blinked and realized that Lin Zhuo was not joking, but was really angry.

"He is my younger brother." Gu Jiao quickly explained.

"Everyone younger than you is a younger brother." Lin Zhuo raised his eyes and looked over, his face was full of displeasure.

"Dear younger brother." Gu Jiao added another sentence.

Lin Zhuo's face softened a little, but he frowned soon: "Why didn't you answer my call?"

Such insecurity reminded her of that night, the night when that man sent Gu Jiao home.

"The phone is at the bar. If I had known that you had a phone, I would have been on standby 24 hours a day, so I wouldn't miss any messages from you, baby." Gu Jiao kissed Lin Zhuo's face as he spoke, soothing the other party's emotions.

"I'm very insecure." Lin Zhuo said in a low voice, facing the emotions hidden deep in his heart, "You have a job and a life of your own, but I'm just a student, and I'll never be able to get involved."

"You are seven years older than me, why can I be with you?"

"I love you." Almost without thinking, Gu Jiao looked deeply at Lin Zhuo, and put his hand on the other's cheek, his eyes were tender and tender.

"I have a job, but I'm living and thinking about you now. I'm seven years older than you, but I'm happy to be older because it means I'm more mature, I'm more Have the ability to bear the problems we face. I can protect you, I can support you, I can always be with you...don’t feel insecure, Lin Zhuo, you have already occupied my whole heart.”

Lin Zhuo was stunned.

This seemed to be the first time I heard Gu Jiao say the word "love".

Her face burned instantly, but her nose became sore and swollen, and she didn't know when her physical emotions had enriched a lot.

She forced a smile.

Seeing Lin Zhuo's smile, Gu Jiao suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

But soon she thought of something, and stretched out her arms to hug Lin Zhuo, preventing him from seeing her expression.

Because of love, she can do many unexpected things for Lin Zhuo.

Love is really too complicated.

And did her parents really love her?

Otherwise, why feel sad?

----

Less than a month after Gu Jiao came to F City, she was approached by her parents. At that time, she had just rented a house, and she always drew the curtains, living a decadent life in the dark room, as if it would be nice to die like this.

But Winnie often came to see her at home, which gave her the courage to regain her strength, and even made an exception for her to work in her own bar.

When life was back on track, there was a knock on the door of the room.

She thought it was Winnie again, but when she opened the door, she found it was her parents whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

They still have that cold expression, as if they are just their tools.

Tools need to be cleaned when they get rusty, and recast when they break, and it’s not bad to buy new ones.

Gu Jiao didn't understand why they came here.

She frowned and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.

"Gu Jiao, you went to Spain, and you lost all your basic manners?" My mother simply hated iron and steel, "I knew you wouldn't be able to get into any good university in China, but you ended up spending money to go abroad and didn't want to study anymore, did you?" ? Do you really think that the wings will become hard when they are adults?"

Gu Jiao was silent, she didn't even look at her.

"Come home with me." Seemingly suppressing her anger, the mother said.

"No." Gu Jiao answered firmly, she raised her eyes and lingered on her parents' faces, "I want to stay here."

"You are not a child anymore, Gu Jiao. Do you think you can live well in City F by yourself? You are nothing without us." The father frowned, and said the same serious thing.

"I won't go." Gu Jiao was determined, his eyes were full of stubbornness, "No matter what, I don't want to see you again!"

"Don't want to see us? Unless you're dead!" The mother seemed to be very angry, and she was a little speechless.

"Then I'll die in front of you." Without even giving the other party time to react, Gu Jiao rushed into the kitchen and took a fruit knife and pointed it at his neck, turned around and looked at the person who followed him in anxiously. Parents, full of determination.

"Don't come here, or I will die in front of you." She even smiled, threatening the couple in front of her.

"Leave me alone. You go home."

"Put down the knife first!"

"No. Unless you go."

"Let's go, don't do stupid things."

"It's not stupid... let's go, Mom and Dad."

"Since you still call us parents, we can't ignore you." The mother was really panicked at this moment, even her hands were shaking.

"Calm down first, Gu Jiao, we will leave right away."

"I'm really not worth your time and energy." Gu Jiao said with a smile.

"I'm gay."

"I like girls."

"I want to pursue the freedom I deserve."

----

Inexplicable memories resurfaced in his mind, and Gu Jiao's eyes turned red.

Why didn't she find out?

How could it not have been discovered?

The author has something to say:

Growth is a process of constant reconciliation.

I plan to write about Gu Jiao first, and then write about Lin Zhuo.

The younger brother is purely contradictory and a tool person hahaha
