nosy on you

dreams and bubbles

The "IOU" was torn into dozens of pieces. The largest one was about the size of a thumb, and the smallest was only half the size of a shirt button. The large area of ​​blank space was not as traceable as a puzzle.

Gu Xi fiddled with it upside down for a whole day, and when it was dark outside the window, he finally made a complete picture.

He glued the finished product line by line with transparent glue, carefully from top to bottom. The paper strip is like a plastic photo, much thicker than before, and fine cracks can be seen through the smooth surface.

Gu Xi took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. After repeating it a few times, tears also came out, and the two lines of writing on the white paper gradually became blurred and distorted, as if twisted into ink balls.

This is the most meticulous thing he has ever done in his life. He looked up at the wall clock, and it was [-]:[-], nine hours had passed since Yan Jing left.

It turns out that people really can't feel the passage of time in a state of special concentration.

A little boy stood on the balcony of the 4th building opposite, throwing a stack of folded paper airplanes downstairs one by one, and then watched the paper airplanes float away in the wind, and two of them were lucky enough to fly out of the fence of the community , but most of them crashed halfway.

"Have you finished your homework? You know how to play all day long. Hurry up and eat!" The child's mother came out of the house, pointed at him and reprimanded him, roaring loudly, then twisted his ears and pulled him away. went in.

Yeah, it's time to eat again.

I'm not hungry yet.

The phone rang in his pocket, Gu Xi hurriedly pressed the answer button, he didn't even see the caller ID clearly, the moment he put his ear on the receiver, he suddenly fell silent, the other party seemed to be waiting for him to speak first.

"Did it work? Fuck, why didn't you make a sound..." Five seconds later, Shen Xu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "The car you asked me to check already knows who the owner is, that person His name is Liu Laosan, a gangster from the south of the city, Dong Fubin approached him several times before, Liu Laosan probably took his money..."

"I already know." Gu Xi replied feebly, his voice full of disappointment.

Yan Jing left his mobile phone in the bedroom, and he couldn't get through when he dialed it during the day. He didn't know if he bought a new one now, but he left very decisively, even if he just changed his phone number, it wouldn't be surprising.

"Are you kidding me?" Shen Xu was a little surprised, "It took me a lot of effort to find out. I checked the surveillance and checked the chassis number. Even my friends from the traffic police brigade were dispatched. Are you How do you know?"

"Xu Rui asked someone to follow Yan Dingde and Dong Fubin, and secretly filmed them with a pinhole camera..." Gu Xi said, "Then played the video in front of Dong Qingping and Yan Jing."

Shen Xu was still a step behind, even if it was a day earlier, it would not have been like this, now it is meaningless to complain about anyone, he only blamed himself for being too careless, and he was taking chances from the beginning to the end.

This is called self-inflicted.

"Fuck, it's so realistic and insidious..." Shen Xu cursed with emotion, and hesitated for a while, "Then Xiaojin..."

"He knows everything, and he went home with Dong Qingping yesterday..." Gu Xi sighed, "I came back early this morning to pack my luggage, and I didn't take any of the things I gave him, and I couldn't get through the phone. .”

No, he still kept the bracelet and the wooden lacquer box!

"I warned you a long time ago..." Shen Xu also sighed, "What are you going to do now?"

"What should I do? What else can I do?" Gu Xi yelled into the phone, "What the hell are you doing with hindsight!"

This question made him confused for two whole days. At this moment, it was like a burning fuse, which suddenly ignited the suffocation in his chest. The violent explosion almost blew up his brain. He needed to vent, no matter who it was to .

Gu Xi heard his hoarse voice, and his nose became sore for a while. This kind of uncomfortable feeling was something he had never experienced before. Annoyance was wrapped in sadness, and unwillingness was wrapped in pain.

Even when my mother and Lin Yi left, they didn't have such complicated feelings.

They died and never came back.

He was there, and it took less than half an hour to drive there, but there seemed to be an impenetrable wall between them, which could not be broken or cut, like two parallel worlds.

Shen Xu was silent for 2 minutes, and said calmly: "Come out for a drink, I'll treat you, if you want to swear, confide, or drink away your sorrows, Xiaochuan and I will accompany you to the end. There is a solution to everything, and it is better than you alone." People are strong when they stay at home.”

"Okay, 10 o'clock in the evening, wait at the old place." Gu Xi hung up the phone.

The 2012 CLUB was still crowded with people as usual, men and women crowded the dance floor, surrounded by laser lights and dry ice, they danced hard to the body, and the sound of disc playing was like the catalyst of alcohol, attracting people.

Gu Xi hadn't been here for more than half a year, the noise of stepping on the scalp made him feel very strange, and even a little inexplicably irritated, maybe because he was worried that he would use alcohol to commit crimes, Shen Xu didn't find a young lady with heavy makeup to accompany him.

"Xiezi, drink slowly..." Xie Xiaochuan picked up the bottomed bottle of Royal Salute on the table and shook it, "You didn't say a few words this night, and you drank up two bottles of wine."

"I know it's not convenient for you to come forward. Dong Qingping will definitely send someone to watch. You'd better let Xiaojin calm down for a few days..." Shen Xu said, "I will explain to him for you in a while."

Gu Xi downed half a glass of foreign wine without ice, his mouth was full of bitterness, and the hot taste burned down his throat. He was sober and could feel the overwhelming pain in his stomach.

Explanation?

What else does he have to explain now? !

"I'm going to the bathroom." Gu Xi got up and walked towards the corner of the corridor, his steps were a little unsteady.

"I'll go with you." Xie Xiaochuan quickly stood up and reached out to hold his arm.

"No, I'm not drunk!" Gu Xi pushed him away, leaning on the wall and slowly moving forward. There was a flashing neon light on the other side of the door, and the blaring music was left behind. The constant flow of people.

This sense of alienation in the haze is somewhat familiar.

There was an alley on the right, Gu Xi staggered around the entrance of the alley, there were several trash cans lined up not far away, but he couldn't find the familiar figure in his sight, his eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness, his limp body fell forward go down.

Rigorous and very punctual, he returned to Lijing Garden before dinner. There were only two nannies busy at home. There were five or six dishes on the table, but only a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Master, the food is ready..." Aunt Wang put the rice and soup into the bowl for him, "Madam has an impromptu meeting tonight, so I won't be coming back for dinner, and I don't know what you like to eat, if you don't Appetite, I'll get it for you again."

"No, no, no need..." Yan Jing waved his hand, took a sip of the soup, and it tasted good, "Sit down and eat together, I can't finish all these dishes by myself."

The title of young master sounded awkward, but he didn't realize it for a while. The feeling of opening his mouth was not as good as he imagined. Doing it by himself is a life principle he has insisted on for more than 20 years.

"We've already eaten, and I'll come to clean up the dishes later..." Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, "The clothes that Madam sent over have been hung in the closet for you, call me again if you need anything. "

Yan Jing wants to say something, but he doesn't know what to say. Everyone in this family is very strange and behaves very politely, but they maintain a strong sense of distance when getting along.

To put it simply, it is impersonal.

It was not yet nine o'clock after taking a shower, Yan Jing opened the door and took a look. There were lights on in the corridor and the stairs, and the whole room was so quiet that it made people panic. He gently closed the door, sat back on the bed and turned on the TV .

The picture on the screen kept changing, he didn't care much about the content of the program, he just needed some sound to dispel his anxiety.

Yan Jing took out the wooden lacquer box from under the pillow, stared at the bracelet inside in a daze, all the trivial fragments of the past flashed in his mind, whether it was quarrels or gags, all the images were full and vivid.

There was a light knock on the door outside the room. The moment the door opened, Yan Jing quickly put the box back. When she raised her head, she saw Dong Qingping's serious face. Her clothes were almost all black, white and gray, which was the same as her expression. monotonous.

"I asked Sister Zhang to warm up a glass of milk for you, go to bed after drinking..." Her opening was very warm, but her tone was as cold as ice, "I heard that you didn't arrive home until seven o'clock, have you taken care of everything? "

"Well, everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be taken back has been taken back." Yan Jing avoided staring at her.

"That's good..." Dong Qingping pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him, "I've sent people to find Yan Dingde, this matter has too much impact, I don't plan to say anything about it, as long as he agrees to go through the adoption procedures, I can Don't sue him."

"Oh." Yan Jing lowered his head in response.

adoption……

This may be the way the big family handles it.

To simplify the complexity and avoid trouble, it would be nice to give him a name.

There is no turmoil in the rigorous heart, it is not happy, let alone feel lost, everything is just developing according to a fixed track, everything is going on in the most reasonable way, and there is no mistake.

"You should finish your driver's license test this month..." Dong Qingping continued to assign tasks, "The company will have a wave of personnel adjustments in the near future. After the May Day holiday, you will come to work and temporarily take over a department to practice your skills."

"Okay, I'll try my best." The rigorous answer was blunt.

"You don't need to be too nervous, I will let the old staff take you for a while, learn by doing." Dong Qingping said.

Aunt Wang stood at the door with the milk and waited for a while, then put the tray on the desk lightly, then backed out lightly, and finally closed the door lightly.

"You take this as pocket money first..." Dong Qingping took out a bank card from his suit pocket and put it on the bedside table, "There is 20 in it, tell me when you have finished spending, and I will transfer it to you again, the password is Your birthday."

20 pocket money? !

Rigorous could hardly believe his ears.

If it wasn't for auditory hallucinations, then he must be dreaming.
