The Melancholy of a Third-Rate Writer

The arrival of Mr. Qin caused Gu Ping to turn down the entertainment that night and concentrate on serving this old man.

Mr. Qin listened to Gu Ping's instructions to his assistant, and waited for him to hang up the phone before asking, "Are you so busy during Chinese New Year?"

Gu Ping said: "No, it's just a gathering with friends."

Mr. Qin said, "Did I bother you?"

Gu Ping smiled lightly and didn't answer.

Mr. Qin didn't ask any further questions, and fell asleep with Gu Ping in his arms.Gu Ping wasn't very used to being held in his arms, but he was tortured by Mr. Qin just now, so he couldn't raise any objections, so he could only reluctantly accept this reality.

The next day, Mr. Qin still had no intention of leaving, so Gu Ping could only continue to accompany him.

Mr. Qin asked: "Today's New Year's Eve, you won't go home?"

Gu Ping said: "After moving out, there is no need to go back, at most go back for a meal."

Mr. Qin said, "Then I'll stay here—" Before he could say the word "Chinese New Year", his cell phone rang suddenly.

The ringtone was a ringtone that Gu Ping had never heard before, and it seemed to have a special meaning to Mr. Qin, because the expression on Mr. Qin's face when he heard it was mixed with surprise and hesitation.

Gu Ping watched Mr. Qin go out to answer the phone, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

How could a person like Mr. Qin set a ringtone for someone?Either this person is very important to him, or the other person is holding his mobile phone to help him set it up.

Either way, it shows that this person is extraordinary to Mr. Qin.

Probably "that person"?

Gu Ping calmly waited for Mr. Qin to come back, but when Mr. Qin walked in, he said to him, "I'm going to City F."

Gu Ping paused, and said: "Yes." He didn't ask further, because he knew it well.In the past few years, he has been to F City a few times, occasionally seeing "that person", and even knows a little more about the current situation of "that person" than Mr. Qin.

As we got older, many conflicts, large and small, appeared in the originally harmonious relationship.

After all, at this age, love is no longer a matter of two people, but a matter of two families.Calling Mr. Qin on such a day, it should be some irreconcilable conflict between that person and his lover, right?

Gu Pingping and Mr. Qin couldn't help laughing after going out.

It's unbelievable that a person like Mr. Qin would run over to comfort the other party as soon as he makes a phone call.

Does this guy really know how to comfort others?

Gu Ping called Secretary He with a smile: "Brother He, Happy New Year."

Secretary He said: "Happy New Year, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the project?"

Gu Ping had an unconcealable smile in his voice: "Go find some information on 'how to comfort people', Mr. Qin will need it."

Secretary He was slightly surprised.

He said, "Thanks for the reminder, I'll take a look."

Secretary He knew that Mr. Qin had gone to Gu Ping's side, and was planning to usher in a warming period between them, but Gu Ping's tone seemed to be different.

Secretary He understood a little, and immediately knew what had happened.

"He" got into a dispute with his other half, got into a car accident and went to the hospital. Mr. Qin called someone to deal with it first, and then he immediately left for City F.

Secretary He was silent.

He knew that Mr. Qin would definitely not explain the reason to Gu Ping, but unfortunately Gu Ping was not a fool, he could guess Mr. Qin's whereabouts with a little guesswork.

More importantly, Gu Ping was able to tease this matter with a relaxed tone.

This shows that the progress between Mr. Qin and Gu Ping is not very good... probably equal to zero.

Secretary He was worried about Mr. Qin when the phone rang again.

Mr. Qin's voice came from the other end: "Secretary He, help me find out how to comfort others, and give me a few simpler methods."

Secretary He: "..."

It seems that Gu Ping's understanding of Mr. Qin far surpasses him.

Secretary He bravely said a few words: "Who are you trying to comfort?"

Mr. Qin obviously didn't want to answer: "You don't need to worry about this."

Secretary He said in a roundabout way: "Different people need to use different methods to comfort them. For example, Mr. Gu, you can't just buy some desserts and expect to make him happy, right?"

Mr. Qin sneered and said, "Why does he need coaxing?"

Secretary He confirmed that Mr. Qin had indeed left Gu Ping, wanting to comfort "that person".

Secretary He did not agree with Mr. Qin's behavior. Unfortunately, hearing Mr. Qin's unquestionable tone, Secretary He could only give a hint: "Sometimes it seems that you don't need it, but you don't really need it."

Mr. Qin snorted, "When did you become so talkative?"

Secretary He could only hang up the phone tactfully.

After finishing the call with Secretary He, Mr. Qin couldn't help thinking about the situation just now. What was Gu Ping's expression when he said he was going to F City?

Mr. Qin found that he couldn't remember.

He only remembered that Gu Ping's tone was very calm, with a faint smile as usual - if he came, it wouldn't be any more, if he left, it wouldn't be any more.

After realizing this, Mr. Qin felt as if his heart had been ignited by something, and it burned badly.He called someone to book a ticket for him and confirm the boarding time, and immediately asked the driver to turn the car around and drive back.

Gu Ping was arranging the wrist buckle facing the mirror in the hallway, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he was stunned.

Mr. Qin stared at Gu Ping.

Gu Ping was neatly dressed and maintained an excellent appearance at all times. Looking at his outfit, he was obviously ready to go out.

Mr. Qin pressed him against the mirror and asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Ping said, "I made an appointment with my friends to have a meal."

Mr. Qin asked: "What friend?"

Gu Ping immediately understood why Mr. Qin was going crazy again. It turned out that he was very dissatisfied with his expression of reluctance, so he ran back deliberately to make things difficult for him.

Because the fastest flight is still a long time away, do you want to divert your anxiety?

Gu Ping answered truthfully: "Friends in business are all small businesses, and you won't know each other if you tell me." He looked up at his watch and said, "The plane to City F will take off for about an hour. , since you're back, I won't go out, I'll stay with you at home."

Mr. Qin said: "You are good at acting." He kissed and bit Gu Ping's lips, "I know I will make you lose the strength to go out, so that's why you say that?"

Even though he had already trapped him in his arms, the burning feeling in Mr. Qin's heart still did not disappear. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and gradually evolved into violence that filled his heart.

Mr. Qin pressed Gu Ping against the mirror and demanded fiercely.

Gu Ping obediently met all Mr. Qin's needs.

Even though he was swallowing Mr. Qin's ferocious desire with his body, Gu Ping's mind was still clear.He let out a low panting sound, suppressing the pain caused by Mr. Qin's too rough.

Mr. Qin was extremely dissatisfied, he rang in Gu Ping's ear with an annoyed voice: "Does it hurt?"

Gu Ping bit his lip.

Mr. Qin ordered: "Call out."

Gu Ping closed his eyes.

Mr. Qin's tone seemed to be a little gentle: "Call out when it hurts." While speaking, he squeezed Gu Ping hard, and the force of the collision also intensified.

Gu Ping knew very well that Mr. Qin's tone was a sign of anger, so he obediently let out a pained cry from his throat: "It hurts..."

The rare show of weakness finally calmed Mr. Qin's anger.

He couldn't even think about why he was angry, he wanted to see Gu Ping's obedient side before leaving.

Mr. Qin picked up Gu Ping and went into the bathroom to help Gu Ping clean up his body. He put his arms around Gu Ping and asked, "Can I still go out?"

Gu Ping was taken aback, and replied honestly: "You are showing mercy."

Mr. Qin said: "Change clothes and take me to the airport. If you have already made an appointment, it's okay for you to meet your friends later."

Gu Ping found Mr. Qin's rewarding tone quite amusing, but he didn't dare to laugh in front of Mr. Qin.He changed his clothes according to Mr. Qin's wishes, went downstairs and drove out the car.

After arriving at the airport, Gu Ping watched Mr. Qin go in, smiled, and turned back along the road.

Just to comfort the other party, he showed that kind of expression - that kind of anxious, confused and hesitant expression, it can be seen that love is too tormenting, even people like Mr. Qin can't survive it.

What kind of magical power does it have, making them all rush forward one by one, kowtow to the point of bleeding and refuse to turn back?

Gu Ping couldn't understand it, but he felt that there must be an equal amount of sweetness behind these pains.

Maybe most of them have good memories in their hearts that he has never experienced.

Perhaps they have met each other and at some point felt less alone.

So persistent, so suffering, so I can't let go, let alone let go.

In contrast, he was lucky.

Since he has never been given, he cannot be said to be deprived.

Because he has never reached heaven, he will not feel pain even if he stays in hell forever.

Gu Ping paused for a moment with his hands holding the steering wheel, and then smiled slightly.

I hope that Mr. Qin can get his wish this time and be happy.

It's time for him to have a fresh start, too.

After having dinner with his friends, Gu Ping drove back to the apartment he bought.There was already a thin layer of snow downstairs, and every step he took left a footprint. Gu Ping looked up at the snowy sky, opened the door and went upstairs.

Since I haven't come back for a long time, the house has been covered with a layer of dust.Gu Ping picked up the pillow on the sofa that obviously didn't suit his liking and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but think of the Xu family boy's extremely cheerful smile and tears of grievance when they met last time.

Gu Ping walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and opened the curtains. The dazzling winter sun shone in at noon, making the whole room bright and comfortable.

The enthusiasm when choosing and decorating a house seems to come to my mind again.

After these two years of training, the cousin has already emerged. It will definitely not be a problem to find a few people to help him successfully take over the Gu family's business.If Mr. Qin got together with "that person" smoothly, and he left the Gu family, it would mean that his feelings and interests were gone.

The relationship between him and Mr. Qin can probably be completely broken.

Gu Ping was in a very happy mood. He opened the refrigerator and looked, and found that there were no ingredients. He picked up the key and prepared to go out to buy some and put it away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xu Damao standing outside.

In winter, Xu Damao actually got a little tanned.

He said: "The uncle downstairs called me and said you are back—you haven't been here for a long time, the house must be empty and there is nothing, I bought some food and drink over here."

Gu Jing looked at him calmly.

Xu Damao said: "Being friends, isn't it okay for us to be friends? I promise I won't have any unreasonable thoughts."

Xu Damao didn't want to come up at first, but he ran over non-stop after receiving the call, but he didn't dare to go upstairs.He braced his knees and panted heavily, and waited for his breathing to calm down before standing far across the street and staring at Gu Ping's house.

After staring in a daze for a while, Gu Ping opened the curtains.It was a little far away, so he couldn't see Gu Ping's expression clearly, but the feeling of pain penetrated into his heart again.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, a day of family reunion.

On days like this, what is Gu Ping doing here alone?

On days like this, is Gu Ping still alone?

What was Gu Ping thinking while standing in front of the window?

Gu Ping, Gu Ping, Gu Ping.

Xu Damao bought all the ingredients while wiping away his tears, ran upstairs and stood in front of Gu Ping's door, thinking about how to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, the door opened first.

Xu Damao said: "It's just right to make hot pot on a snowy day. I bought your favorite meatballs and green vegetables. I'll wash them. You can take out the pot and wait. By the way, do you want to go back? If not, we will You can have a drink!"

Gu Ping thought that Mr. Qin had gone to City F, and he would not have the chance to think of him for a while, so he said with a smile after a moment of silence: "Okay."

Xu Damao happily went to wash the vegetables.

Gu Ping glanced at the snow outside the window, and went to take out the pot to prepare to have hot pot with Xu Damao.
