After being confessed by the paranoid wolf dog
Chapter 041
The apartment was pitch black, and the night was thick. The room without the lights on was like a monster swallowing people, quietly opening its abyssal mouth, waiting for the prey to arrive.
The cold air has no warmth, wrapping the only person in the house.
When Gu Yu returned home, he had been standing still in front of the French windows for half an hour.
For half an hour, he didn't do anything, he just overlooked the night view of a corner of the city, and his thoughts were pulled back to a certain moment in the past.
The Bai family is very famous in the upper circles. Apart from the Bai family group, it is even more famous because all the heads of the Bai family have been women.
That's right, in today's era when the issue of equal rights between men and women is not handled well, the person in charge of the Bai family is a woman, which means that all men who marry the heirs of the Bai family are married.
It has always been like this, until something unexpected happened.
Mrs. Bai's favorite little granddaughter married a little-known professor of geology immediately after graduation. She was 12 years younger than the professor. Days, but very happy.
During that time, she was not bound by the family, and she didn't even tell the Bai family that she had a baby.
This child is Gu Yu, a child who is not expected by the mother clan.
They were found when Gu Yu was five years old. Although the Bai family hated Gu Yu's father very much, it was a done deal and they no longer wanted to separate them, but the eyes and taunts from the upper class were always accompanied by Gu Yu and his father. His father, never disappeared.
……
The memories buried in the abyss were awakened, and Gu Yu's face was gloomy. Suddenly, a cell phone rang, which brought back some of his reason.
He picked up his phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and squinted his eyes.
"What's the matter?" After answering the phone, he asked the person over there lazily.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then a deeper voice sounded, "Gu Yu, your great-grandmother has passed away."
"Oh."
"...Gu Yu, you'd better be serious, the Bai family will look for you."
"It's none of my business." After a pause, he laughed mockingly again, "What's none of your business?"
"It's none of my business, but for the sake of your parents, I can't ignore you."
The words that sounded like concern made Gu Yu's mood worse and worse.
The storm was suppressed in his eyes, and the icy light flashed by, Gu Yu gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "Xu, you have no right to mention my father!"
"...It doesn't matter." Xu Jinxing didn't care what Gu Yu thought, his voice was calm and unaffected by Gu Yu's hostility, "You are still young, don't always think that you have enough experience to do whatever you want, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later of."
"Instead of persuading me with these words, why don't you review yourself." Gu Yu's mouth curled up with a cruel arc, and he said each word: "How is it, how does it feel to be cut off by a junior like me?"
Xu Jinxing called his name as a warning, Gu Yu laughed triumphantly, and hung up the phone without hesitation.
The communication was cut off, and the room fell into silence.
The boy shrouded in darkness seemed to have exhausted all his strength, with his arms hanging down and his knees slowly bent.
With a bang, the phone hit the floor, and at the same time, he sat down and silently looked up at the bright starry sky.
Even the scenery of nature can be so colorful, why is his life in despair?
On the balcony, the air seemed to freeze.
From Meng Yangzhou's perspective, the happy look on Qi Qingmu's face when he mentioned her boyfriend hurt his eyes.
He thought about countless possibilities, for example, Qi Qingmu was just testing himself, or using Gu Yu as a shield.But combined with his understanding of Qi Qingmu, if this is not true, he will not tell others frankly.
Especially myself.
This may be a fact he doesn't want to admit.
The gentle young man still looked out of the balcony, as if there was some strange scenery outside that attracted his attention.Meng Yangzhou moved his lips, but didn't say a word. All the emotions in his heart were sealed at this moment.
In the end, it was Qi Qingmu who spoke first.
"I just made a relationship with him." He said softly, "I don't care what other people think, but Gu Yu...is my first choice."
This sentence is half true and half false, maybe Meng Yangzhou will have doubts, but as he said, he doesn't care what other people think.
As long as he and Gu Yu admit it, then the two of them are in a relationship, and no one can doubt or even destroy this relationship.
"I don't know anything about the Bai family. I didn't want to get involved in understanding Gu Yu's family affairs, just like I didn't want him to know more about my family background." After a pause, he smiled softly, "But Your words today reminded me that if I want to maintain this relationship for a long time, I should understand anything that can affect his emotions, including family and friends..."
These words undoubtedly pierced Meng Yangzhou's heart fiercely, opening a bloody hole.
"So, you come to ask me..." Meng Yangzhou's voice was very low, with a little trembling, "Qi Qingmu, what do you think of me? Do you regard me as a tool to maintain your relationship?"
"No." Qi Qingmu still smiled calmly, "I've said it many times, I regard you as a friend."
Meng Yangzhou laughed sarcastically.
Maybe he was mocking how ridiculous his previous determination was, or maybe he was mocking Qi Qingmu's confidence in this relationship, in short, his laughter was cold and without warmth in his ears.
"The Bai family..." Just when Qi Qingmu thought he wouldn't be able to communicate with him, he said quietly, with an extremely long ending, "It's a big family, does the Bai family know? Oh, you won't know , after all, the status is very different, as your roommate who has lived with you for three years, you don't care what the Meng family does."
Qi Qingmu closed her eyes and listened quietly without refuting.
Meng Yangzhou glanced at him inexplicably, "The Bai family is headed by a woman, all the heirs are women, and the husband is a married woman."
Enrolling?
Qi Qingmu remained calm, and chewed the word carefully in his mouth.
Gu Yu's surname is Gu, obviously following his father's surname, so his father did not join the Bai family. After understanding this, the following story can vaguely emerge.
"What else do you want to know?"
Qi Qingmu looked at him, eyes flickering, "Gu Yu's mother died of illness, right?"
Meng Yangzhou frowned sharply, "What question are you asking?"
"It's a question I've always suspected." Qi Qingmu said, "If you don't know, just pretend I didn't ask."
Meng Yangzhou grabbed his wrist and pulled it over with force. Qi Qingmu was unprepared, and before the pain in his wrist hit, he was pulled away first.
When he raised his eyes, he met a pair of cold eyes.
"Do you think that if you are with Gu Yu, you can learn about the stories in the upper circle without any scruple? Qi Qingmu, if one day you are targeted and Gu Yu can't protect you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The warning color in those eyes was heavy and serious, not a casual threatening signal for the sake of feelings, Meng Yangzhou was really worried about himself.
This kind of reaction just proves that he seems to know something, or maybe he has heard some truths faintly, but he has never delved into it.
After all, he is just the heir of another company.
"Okay." After thinking again and again, Qi Qingmu said obediently: "I won't ask any more, let go."
Meng Yangzhou frowned again, stared at Qi Qingmu closely, and after making sure that he wasn't just perfunctory, he slowly let go of his hand.
Qi Qingmu took a step back and opened the distance.
"Lu Du and Geometry are both worried about you." He changed the subject naturally, "Even if you don't want to pay attention, it can't change the fact that they have always regarded you as a friend. Lu Du said more than once that you can stay here The dormitory is because of me, but in all fairness, the relationship between the four of us is not that simple."
His eyes were shining softly, and his tone was full of nostalgia for the good old days.Meng Yangzhou looked at him, with a choked breath in his throat, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and finally he didn't speak.
He just turned around silently, like Qi Qingmu, leaning on the railing of the balcony with his arms, looking out.
Qi Qingmu looked at him silently for a while, "I'll go back first."
He was answered by boundless silence.
Qi Qingmu returned to the dormitory, he smiled at the curious eyes of Shang Ludu and Cheng Geometric, and only said: "There will be no more disputes in the future."
Cheng Geometric exhaled exaggeratedly, and murmured, "That's great." He retracted into the curtain—his game hadn't been finished yet.
Lu Du thought more about it than the willingness to accept it.
"Are you okay?" When Qi Qingmu approached, he asked softly.
Qi Qingmu shook his head: "It's all right now."
Although there is no guarantee that Meng Yangzhou will not pester him in the future, in a short time, he will keep a distance from him because of the face of Young Master Meng.
And Meng Yangzhou obviously listened to the last sentence.
Qi Qingmu will probably never experience the way people in the upper circle make friends in this life, but he has heard of it.Lu Du and Cheng Geometry's family background can only be considered wealthy and cannot bring Meng Yangzhou any benefits, but in the dormitory, no matter whether Cheng Geometry acted like a baby with him or Lu Du occasionally pretended to reprimand him, Meng Yangzhou was never really angry...
This just shows that he has always disdained First Young Master Meng's status.
Qi Qingmu admits that he is despicable, and he will focus on describing some poignant topics, and use words to guide the other party into a situation of self-pity, so as to forget the original purpose.
After washing up, Qi Qingmu came out of the bathroom and passed Meng Yangzhou.
He was tall and straight, without squinting, as if he didn't see Qi Qingmu.
Lowering his head, Qi Qingmu slowly hooked his lips, revealing a relaxed smile.
Lying on the bed, Qi Qingmu put the phone beside the pillow.He set the alarm clock, got up early tomorrow morning, packed up the things needed for the first day of work and internship, and had a breakfast that would make the day full of energy.
Just as he was about to turn off the screen, his eyebrows moved slightly, he clicked on WeChat and found Gu Yu.
Qi Qingmu: Are you home yet?
The message fell through the cracks, and he didn't get a response.
There is work tomorrow, and Qi Qingmu's work and rest time is very regular, so he didn't wait too long, with a trace of worry, he turned off the screen and slowly closed his eyes.
In the bar, it was extremely noisy, and the colorful lights shone everywhere, printing everyone's faces with strange colors.
In the semi-circular booth, Gu Yu sat in the center, with a row of wine on the table in front of him.As if he was used to the noisy environment, he leaned on the soft sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and a game console in the other. The screen interface showed the game that had ended.
Guo Jin sat next to him, took a sip of Coke, and then yelled: "I don't agree, Brother Yu, let's have another game!"
The wine flows down the throat, arousing a spicy feeling.He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Guo Jin, and said, "Zhencai, I always want to fight back."
Guo Jin: "I'm playing with you, okay?"
Gu Yu: "No need, get out."
Being treated like this, Guo Jin was not angry, he approached with a smile, and said in a flattering way: "Brother Yu, look at you, you still have to be more soft-hearted, otherwise, like now, if you are in a bad mood, you can only find a buddy Come out, but can't find a wife."
Hearing this, Gu Yu glanced at him unhappily, and with a little alcohol smell when speaking, he raised his voice, "What is he?"
Guo Jin looked terrified: "Brother Yu, isn't this the one you just caught up with?"
"Just for fun." Gu Yu said indifferently.
At this time, a quiet girl came over and said with a smile, "Is that the one who played games with us at night? Wow, the voice is really nice."
"Yes, that's him!" Before Gu Yu could speak, Guo Jin responded, "What did I say, An Tian? Only a gentle, gentle and generous person can hold our Brother Yu down. You Not with your little sisters."
The girl named An Tian was sweet-looking, and she had two big dimples when she smiled. Hearing this, she looked at Gu Yu in embarrassment. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she immediately waved her fist pretending to be fierce, and said, "Guo Jin, You can't get ivory out of your dog's mouth!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you angry now? When you have a chance to see sister-in-law, how about you not be jealous?"
An Tian stared at him angrily: "When did I confess to Gu Yu, can you stop mentioning it!"
Guo Jin chuckled: "Aren't I afraid that you are still thinking about it?"
"I don't care about it..." She said something lacking in confidence, then glanced at Gu Yu indiscriminately, and found that he was actually playing a single-player game with a game console, and added even more annoyed: "I am also pursued, Why do you always miss him!"
After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat angrily, chatted with other people, and ignored them.
Guo Jin looked at her back and asked Gu Yu blankly, "What did I say wrong?"
Gu Yu didn't raise her head: "What did you say?"
"Yeah, I didn't say anything."
"I mean did you speak? I didn't hear a word."
Guo Jin: "..."
It's still my brother Yu who can play.
There is still a difference between Gu Yu drinking and not drinking, but the difference is not very obvious. Although he still talks and chats with others, his actions can be seen to be a little slow.
So Gu Yu decided to drink, and basically sat in one place without moving, and kept sitting like this.
Guo Jin received a message from Gu Yu in the middle of the night saying that he was going to form a game, so he immediately decided to set up the boiling point bar, but when he arrived and sent a message to Gu Yu, he heard that the young master said stubbornly that he would not go to the boiling point, but to go to Nantah University Stay away from the bar.
Thinking that Brother Yu was having a fight with that student from Nantah University, Guo Jin quickly took a group of people to change places, and thoughtfully brought two game consoles.
Sure enough, when Gu Yu arrived, his expression was indifferent, and he looked very displeased with everyone. The others didn't take the initiative to approach him when they saw this, and it was over after saying hello. Only he, Guo Jin, was the real man. A dozen beers.
"It's just to drink away your worries." He said.
Gu Yu didn't even give him a look, picked up the bottle and started drinking.
Guo Jin was also smart, knowing that Gu Yu was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask too many questions. He dragged Gu Yu to play a few games in a row, and when he was almost exhausted, he began to tentatively talk about the 'sister-in-law'.
Gu Yu didn't react much after hearing this, Guo Jin praised in his heart that he was really careful at every step.
But he doesn't gossip, he mentions it frequently just to make Gu Yu happy, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to say that he was just playing with the other party.
Guo Jin was really a little surprised. Others might not know how much Brother Yu cared about that Nantah student back then, how could he not know?
Now this sentence sounds like a bit of a joke...
Respect.
While the others were chatting together, Guo Jin asked Gu Yu in a low voice, "Brother Yu, are you really just playing around?"
Gu Yu: "Otherwise, can he still control me?"
Guo Jin: "That can't be done, who can control my Brother Yu..."
Before the words finished, Gu Yu's cell phone on the sofa buzzed, and a chat interface popped up.Because Guo Jin is also close, so when he lowered his head, he also saw the pop-up window of WeChat.
【are you home yet? 】
The four characters are like light wind and drizzle, infiltrating the dry soil.
Guo Jin: "..."
Gu Yu frowned, glared at Guo Jin, picked up the phone as if covering up, and fiddled with himself for a long time, looking to reply to the letter, but his expression was tangled, as if he was in a psychological struggle with himself.
Finally, in front of Guo Jin, he snorted coldly, and stuffed the phone into his coat pocket to cover up.
"Boring." He murmured, then stood up, making a gesture to go out.
Guo Jin: "Brother Yu, are you going to the bathroom?"
Gu Yu: "Well, don't bother me."
Guo Jin: "Okay."
After 5 minutes, Gu Yu did not come back.
An Tian kept staring in the direction of the bathroom. She came here for Gu Yu. The protagonist is not here, so it is meaningless for her to stay here, so she pushed Guo Jin and said, "Is he drinking too much? Go and see ?”
Guo Jinhao waved his hand angrily, "Brother Yu said he won't let me go, and with his drinking capacity, a few bottles of beer are not even an aperitif."
An Tian pursed her lips: "That's fine."
Another 10 minutes passed, and Gu Yu disappeared without a trace.
An Tian: "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Guo Jin: "...wait a minute, what if the stomach is ruined!"
After half an hour.
Under the dim light, the chubby Guo Jin shrank his neck and squeezed out several layers of chin. He stretched out his hands to hold his forehead a little tiredly, and sighed frequently.
"There's no need to go." He said, "It's time to go."
An Tian: "...Huh?"
Guo Jin raised his head and looked at the sky sadly at 45 degrees.
"Brother Yu's family is here to urge... Alas, this filthy and stinky love."
He even ran out at night to drink away his worries, stayed outside for less than an hour, and the other party didn't even make a phone call, just a simple WeChat greeting, Gu Yu sneaked away first, what reason and evidence is needed for this ?
After all, he was still handled to death.
At six o'clock the next morning, Qi Qingmu woke up naturally.
The alarm was set at 06:30, and it hadn't sounded yet. The bedroom was quiet. Before he got out of bed, he turned off the alarm of his mobile phone, then charged it, and quietly entered the bathroom to start washing.
When he came out fully dressed, it was just 06:30.
He seldom stays in bed, as long as he gets enough sleep, he won't think about continuing to sleep after waking up, so he is very energetic, unlike others who yawn after waking up.Before leaving, he tidied up the work supplies that he needed to bring. Qi Qingmu looked up at the three beds with closed curtains, then took out a post-it note and left them a post-it note for them to go to work by themselves on the door.
After doing all this, he quietly left the dormitory.
There are relatively few people at the breakfast stand today, because on Saturday, everyone wants to sleep in and there are very few people who get up on time step by step.It was rare for Qi Qingmu to enter the room and find an empty seat. This table happened to be near the window. He served a bowl of porridge and ordered a side dish. Instead of choosing pasta as usual, he sat down with the porridge and side dishes in silence. ate up.
The proprietress passed by him, and seeing familiarity, she warmly and politely stood up to the man, "That's all you eat, aren't you hungry?"
Qi Qingmu smiled, and replied ambiguously: "I will definitely be full."
"Then you should drink more porridge. The porridge is calculated according to the bowl, and you can serve it as you like." The proprietress was quite serious.
Qi Qingmu said thank you, and then drank the porridge silently.
At seven o'clock in the morning, there were more customers in the breakfast shop.Qi Qingmu only drank half of his porridge, probably because he has enough time, his movements are graceful, and his unhurried appearance seems to be out of tune with other people.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
When a bowl of porridge was about to bottom out, a panting voice came from the door.
Qi Qingmu's expression was slightly concentrated, but he didn't look over, scooped the last bit of porridge into the spoon, and put it in his mouth.
The fragrance of rice porridge spreads in the mouth, but what lingers on the tip of the nose is another kind of fragrance...
Two drawers of steamed buns were placed on the table, and a person was seated in the empty chair opposite while he was drinking porridge.
Qi Qingmu hid the smile in his eyes, looked up at the person opposite, "You're late."
The person sitting opposite was Gu Yu who didn't reply to any message last night.
He was wearing a sportswear, mainly gray and white, his hair seemed to have just been washed, and it hadn't been completely dried, and the ends of his hair were in strands, obviously tidying up in a hurry before he came.
Regarding Qi Qingmu's words, he didn't even have a head, and directly picked up a chopstick and put a side dish into his mouth.
Qi Qingmu raised his eyebrows, "Look up."
Gu Yu paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, hesitated for a few seconds, and raised his head.
There was a faint cyan color under those eyes that used to be arrogant, and the redness in the eyes was more obvious.
"Stay up late." Just by taking a look, Qi Qingmu knew what was going on, "What time did you go to bed last night?"
Gu Yu's complexion was not very good, and he snorted, "You are too strict."
"I don't care about you." Qi Qingmu said kindly: "Just asking, you can't keep me from being curious, right?"
Gu Yu choked for a moment, thought for a while but couldn't think of a rebuttal, and finally said impatiently: "A little bit."
"Sleep at one o'clock, and rushed over at seven o'clock. Counting you starting at 06:30, you slept for about five hours." After the analysis, Qi Qingmu smiled harmlessly, "No wonder you have dark circles."
Gu Yu clicked his tongue: "What do you want to say?"
Qi Qingmu looked at him with a smile: "I want to say, thank you for having breakfast with me."
Gu Yu: "..."
My face was a little swollen and hot. I wonder if it was because I rushed to take a shower in the morning and didn't adjust the water temperature properly, so I got burned.
Clearing his throat, Gu Yu stood up with his head down, and said, "I'm going to serve the porridge." The back view looked a bit like running away.
Qi Qingmu looked away, and at the same time, his smile gradually disappeared.
Gu Yu must have not slept well last night, and today he stubbornly followed him to have breakfast. To be honest, Qi Qingmu was a little moved, because the invitation was sent out last night because he was worried about his psychological state. Qi Qingmu no longer understands the strife and infighting in the big family, nor can he deny that people are connected by blood, so he worried that Gu Yu didn't go home directly, and thought of inviting him to breakfast to restrain him, but forgot that even if he went home obediently, It is also possible that he cannot sleep, and spends the night alone, waiting for the dawn.
If you don't care, it is definitely impossible.
From last night until now, Qi Qingmu was somewhat worried about Gu Yu.
The two of them finished eating two drawers of steamed buns together, Qi Qingmu ate less, and he just ate with Gu Yu afterwards.With plenty of time, Qi Qingmu was not in a hurry to leave, he quietly waited for Gu Yu to finish eating.
"Does the two drawers of steamed buns count as money?" he asked.
Gu Yu didn't have the habit of giving money in advance. He only gave money after eating. Qi Qingmu still remembered that the first time he met at the breakfast stand, he was stopped by the boss because the other party didn't pay. get away.
Hearing his words, Gu Yu snorted: "It's over."
Qi Qingmu withdrew his hand that wanted to transfer the money, and said, "Why did you pay the bill in advance this time?"
"I want you to take care of it." Gu Yu said calmly.
Qi Qingmu smiled, not angry at all, and walked out behind him: "Go back and have a good sleep."
I don't need to do anything myself, just make an appointment to have breakfast, and then send myself back to bed.Complicated emotions surged in Gu Yu's heart, he is not a fool, how could he not be aware of Qi Qingmu's purpose.
He paused for a moment, waited for Qi Qingmu to follow up naturally, rubbed shoulders with him, and when he walked a little closer to the front, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
"What time do you get off work today?" He asked coldly.
Qi Qingmu paused, looked down at his hands, then looked up at his slightly flushed face, blinked and said, "Five o'clock."
"...for dinner?"
For a moment, Qi Qingmu thought he was hallucinating, "Huh?"
Gu Yu clicked his tongue irritably, frowned, pretending to be very upset, and his voice was more than twice as loud as before, "I said, shall we have dinner together?"
Qi Qingmu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't eat, you will fall down." Gu Yu said impatiently, shaking off his hand.
Qi Qingmu was thrown by him, and his hand swung back with force, and accidentally hit the corner of the table, a sharp pain hit him, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and took a breath.
"Are you okay?" Gu Yu frowned, and reached out to grab his hand again, but Qi Qingmu dodged it.
"It's okay." Qi Qingmu said: "It's not serious, it just hurts because I didn't guard against it."
Gu Yu's hand froze in mid-air, moved his fingers, and retracted them lonely.
The two walked slowly towards the bus stop one after the other. They didn't take the same bus, but judging by Gu Yu's appearance, they probably also wanted to take the bus home.
Along the way, neither of them spoke until they stood at the bus stop, and Qi Qingmu took out his phone to check the time.
Perhaps it was this subtle movement that made Gu Yu aware of the opportunity. He cleared his throat before speaking, "Are you late?"
"No." Qi Qingmu shook his head: "There is plenty of time."
"Oh." After a few seconds of silence, he asked again: "Dinner..."
Going around and returning to this topic, Qi Qingmu felt a little helpless, and asked him with a smile: "Why do you want to have dinner with me?"
For some reason, he felt that Gu Yu looked at him with a little more inquisitive look.
"I don't know." Gu Yu replied, "If you ask me, I don't know."
What kind of answer is this?
Qi Qingmu blinked: "Then why don't I ask?"
There were no cars driving around, and the road seemed to be cut off suddenly. It was extremely quiet, and it was in this situation that various subtle sounds began to amplify infinitely.
It's like Gu Yu can feel his own thumping heartbeat, and the young man's long and gentle breath.
He heard himself reply as if uncontrollably: "That's because I want to eat with you."
After the voice fell, a bus came around a corner not far away and made a beeping sound ahead of time.
The surroundings seemed to be once again caught in the hustle and bustle of the world.
Qi Qingmu was stunned for a moment, looked away behind Gu Yu, and then raised his hand to beckon - the bus he was going to take came.
Following his movements, Gu Yu turned his head and saw the bus getting closer and closer, he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his position, and leaned towards the inside of the platform.
The bus was driving slower and slower, Qi Qingmu's eyes flickered slightly, and for some reason, an indescribable sense of anxiety surged into his heart.
Even though the time suddenly shortened, Qi Qingmu still asked, "Why do you want to have dinner with me?"
At this time, the bus has stopped in front of the platform.At this stop, only Qi Qingmu got on the bus alone.
He paused for two seconds, seeing that Gu Yu lowered his head, didn't look at himself, and didn't intend to answer, his eyes couldn't hide the complexity, he pursed his lips, and he stepped on the bus.
The prompt sound of the bus card sounded, and at the same time, the sound of closing the door was amplified in the ears.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear Gu Yu say something, but when he turned his head, Gu Yu had already walked along the road.
Looking at his back through the window, Qi Qingmu found an empty seat by the window and sat down.
The bus gradually drifted away, passing Gu Yu, leaving him far behind.
After a long time, Qi Qingmu looked away from the window.
He took out his phone, clicked on WeChat, and found Gu Yu's chat interface.
A line of words was typed, and finally cut into a blank in hesitation.
It's just a small episode, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.Qi Qingmu said to himself in his heart.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he stepped into the studio on time.
The receptionist at the front desk was not the boy he was when he came two times before, but a woman, about 30 years old, well maintained, but from her words and deeds, it can be seen that she has not just set foot in society young schoolgirl.
"You haven't graduated yet, right? You can just call me Sister Moss." While taking Qi Qingmu upstairs, she introduced herself: "Leng Mengtai, moss is the moss of moss."
"Hello, Sister Tess, my name is Qi Qingmu." He followed Leng Mengtai, the whole way was very empty and quiet, similar to the scene of the previous two visits, so he couldn't help asking: "I didn't come to work on Saturday and Sunday. ?"
"Yes, people who stay here on Saturdays and Sundays work overtime, and the working hours are not stable. Come and leave whenever you want."
"That's right." Qi Qingmu nodded clearly, and said again: "Then you are?"
"On duty, there must be someone at the front desk on Saturdays and Sundays." Leng Mengtai took him up to the second floor, walked straight along the corridor, and finally stopped outside an office, "Mr. Fu told you to use this office."
"Office?" Qi Qingmu stopped at the door in surprise, not daring to open it rashly.
He thought he would be put in a small group and given a small desk like a regular clerk.
"That's right." Leng Mengtai also looked at him in surprise, and explained logically: "In our place, all designers have separate workspaces."
"...I'm not a designer yet." Qi Qingmu smiled awkwardly, "I'm just lucky enough to come here for an internship."
"I understand, you think you're an errand runner, don't you?" Leng Mengtai smiled, patted him on the shoulder familiarly, and gave him encouragement: "Don't worry, we won't bury any talents here. You work hard , after graduation, maybe he will become a regular directly."
Qi Qingmu nodded with a smile.
Under Leng Mengtai's acquiescing eyes, he slowly pushed open the small door defined as 'Qi Qingmu Design Studio'——
The overall space is not too big, about ten square meters, with French windows on the south side, and a big table in front of the window, which is different from the heavy wooden desks that bosses use. It is a simple and thin Nordic style. Desks and chairs are also matched. Near the door is a row of waist-high cabinets, and on the other side against the wall is a custom-made cabinet frame.
Apart from these basic office furniture, there was nothing left in the room. When I swept over it suddenly, it was empty at first glance, as if it had been emptied.
"It's very good here." After a quick scan, Qi Qingmu turned to Leng Mengtai and said, "Thank you for bringing me here."
"It's okay." Leng Mengtai said very politely: "I'll send you the work arranged by Mr. Fu in a while. Today, the whole studio is just the two of us. If you need anything, please come to me."
Qi Qingmu: "...Okay."
There are only two people in such a big studio, and I really don't know what to say for a while.
After Leng Mengtai left, Qi Qingmu placed the things he brought on the table one by one.What he brought were all the daily necessities, such as water cups and charging treasures.Fu Meng clearly said that you don't need to bring any work tools, as the studio has them.
He rummaged through the cabinet, but it was empty.
Just as he was hesitating, there was a knock on the half-closed door, and Leng Mengtai walked in with a carton of documents, and Qi Qingmu quickly reached out to take it.
"Are these what I'm going to do today?" Qi Qingmu tilted his weight calmly, quite heavy.
"It's impossible, I can't finish it in one day." Leng Mengtai added with a smile: "Today and tomorrow, you can do it as you see. If Mr. Fu comes today or tomorrow, you can go to him, if he doesn't come, Just mark your completed design draft and put it on his desk. Do you remember where his office is?"
"remember."
"That's good. Then if you need something for work, go directly to the material room to get it. The material room is the translucent glass room in the middle of the second floor. Next to it is the tea room. There is coffee and tea. You can make whatever you want. I have to Watch from below, you can't always come up to help you, if you have anything, go down and find me."
She walked out while talking, Qi Qingmu followed her with the box in her arms, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I will be a colleague from now on, happy work."
When she left this time, she closed the door.
With a low bang, Qi Qingmu slowly let out a breath.
He looked around, repeatedly confirming that he was really going to start working, and a sense of uneasy joy flooded his body.
It's not that Qi Qingmu has never worked part-time, but part-time jobs are completely different from the current feeling.This may be the only way for him to work and earn a living in the future. It matches the major he has studied, and the working environment is very compatible with his requirements.
Putting the box on the table, Qi Qingmu casually took out two file bags, opened them and flipped through the proposals inside. It was marked completed on them, and they should be backups of completed proposals, which were downloaded by customers. It is not known whether it is the assessment given to the employees within the studio alone.
Qi Qingmu took off his jacket, unbuttoned the cuffs, and rolled them up bit by bit, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
He is full of expectations for the future.
The whole morning was not long or short. Qi Qingmu only completed one survey paper, which was laid flat on the table.
The cold air has no warmth, wrapping the only person in the house.
When Gu Yu returned home, he had been standing still in front of the French windows for half an hour.
For half an hour, he didn't do anything, he just overlooked the night view of a corner of the city, and his thoughts were pulled back to a certain moment in the past.
The Bai family is very famous in the upper circles. Apart from the Bai family group, it is even more famous because all the heads of the Bai family have been women.
That's right, in today's era when the issue of equal rights between men and women is not handled well, the person in charge of the Bai family is a woman, which means that all men who marry the heirs of the Bai family are married.
It has always been like this, until something unexpected happened.
Mrs. Bai's favorite little granddaughter married a little-known professor of geology immediately after graduation. She was 12 years younger than the professor. Days, but very happy.
During that time, she was not bound by the family, and she didn't even tell the Bai family that she had a baby.
This child is Gu Yu, a child who is not expected by the mother clan.
They were found when Gu Yu was five years old. Although the Bai family hated Gu Yu's father very much, it was a done deal and they no longer wanted to separate them, but the eyes and taunts from the upper class were always accompanied by Gu Yu and his father. His father, never disappeared.
……
The memories buried in the abyss were awakened, and Gu Yu's face was gloomy. Suddenly, a cell phone rang, which brought back some of his reason.
He picked up his phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and squinted his eyes.
"What's the matter?" After answering the phone, he asked the person over there lazily.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then a deeper voice sounded, "Gu Yu, your great-grandmother has passed away."
"Oh."
"...Gu Yu, you'd better be serious, the Bai family will look for you."
"It's none of my business." After a pause, he laughed mockingly again, "What's none of your business?"
"It's none of my business, but for the sake of your parents, I can't ignore you."
The words that sounded like concern made Gu Yu's mood worse and worse.
The storm was suppressed in his eyes, and the icy light flashed by, Gu Yu gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "Xu, you have no right to mention my father!"
"...It doesn't matter." Xu Jinxing didn't care what Gu Yu thought, his voice was calm and unaffected by Gu Yu's hostility, "You are still young, don't always think that you have enough experience to do whatever you want, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later of."
"Instead of persuading me with these words, why don't you review yourself." Gu Yu's mouth curled up with a cruel arc, and he said each word: "How is it, how does it feel to be cut off by a junior like me?"
Xu Jinxing called his name as a warning, Gu Yu laughed triumphantly, and hung up the phone without hesitation.
The communication was cut off, and the room fell into silence.
The boy shrouded in darkness seemed to have exhausted all his strength, with his arms hanging down and his knees slowly bent.
With a bang, the phone hit the floor, and at the same time, he sat down and silently looked up at the bright starry sky.
Even the scenery of nature can be so colorful, why is his life in despair?
On the balcony, the air seemed to freeze.
From Meng Yangzhou's perspective, the happy look on Qi Qingmu's face when he mentioned her boyfriend hurt his eyes.
He thought about countless possibilities, for example, Qi Qingmu was just testing himself, or using Gu Yu as a shield.But combined with his understanding of Qi Qingmu, if this is not true, he will not tell others frankly.
Especially myself.
This may be a fact he doesn't want to admit.
The gentle young man still looked out of the balcony, as if there was some strange scenery outside that attracted his attention.Meng Yangzhou moved his lips, but didn't say a word. All the emotions in his heart were sealed at this moment.
In the end, it was Qi Qingmu who spoke first.
"I just made a relationship with him." He said softly, "I don't care what other people think, but Gu Yu...is my first choice."
This sentence is half true and half false, maybe Meng Yangzhou will have doubts, but as he said, he doesn't care what other people think.
As long as he and Gu Yu admit it, then the two of them are in a relationship, and no one can doubt or even destroy this relationship.
"I don't know anything about the Bai family. I didn't want to get involved in understanding Gu Yu's family affairs, just like I didn't want him to know more about my family background." After a pause, he smiled softly, "But Your words today reminded me that if I want to maintain this relationship for a long time, I should understand anything that can affect his emotions, including family and friends..."
These words undoubtedly pierced Meng Yangzhou's heart fiercely, opening a bloody hole.
"So, you come to ask me..." Meng Yangzhou's voice was very low, with a little trembling, "Qi Qingmu, what do you think of me? Do you regard me as a tool to maintain your relationship?"
"No." Qi Qingmu still smiled calmly, "I've said it many times, I regard you as a friend."
Meng Yangzhou laughed sarcastically.
Maybe he was mocking how ridiculous his previous determination was, or maybe he was mocking Qi Qingmu's confidence in this relationship, in short, his laughter was cold and without warmth in his ears.
"The Bai family..." Just when Qi Qingmu thought he wouldn't be able to communicate with him, he said quietly, with an extremely long ending, "It's a big family, does the Bai family know? Oh, you won't know , after all, the status is very different, as your roommate who has lived with you for three years, you don't care what the Meng family does."
Qi Qingmu closed her eyes and listened quietly without refuting.
Meng Yangzhou glanced at him inexplicably, "The Bai family is headed by a woman, all the heirs are women, and the husband is a married woman."
Enrolling?
Qi Qingmu remained calm, and chewed the word carefully in his mouth.
Gu Yu's surname is Gu, obviously following his father's surname, so his father did not join the Bai family. After understanding this, the following story can vaguely emerge.
"What else do you want to know?"
Qi Qingmu looked at him, eyes flickering, "Gu Yu's mother died of illness, right?"
Meng Yangzhou frowned sharply, "What question are you asking?"
"It's a question I've always suspected." Qi Qingmu said, "If you don't know, just pretend I didn't ask."
Meng Yangzhou grabbed his wrist and pulled it over with force. Qi Qingmu was unprepared, and before the pain in his wrist hit, he was pulled away first.
When he raised his eyes, he met a pair of cold eyes.
"Do you think that if you are with Gu Yu, you can learn about the stories in the upper circle without any scruple? Qi Qingmu, if one day you are targeted and Gu Yu can't protect you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The warning color in those eyes was heavy and serious, not a casual threatening signal for the sake of feelings, Meng Yangzhou was really worried about himself.
This kind of reaction just proves that he seems to know something, or maybe he has heard some truths faintly, but he has never delved into it.
After all, he is just the heir of another company.
"Okay." After thinking again and again, Qi Qingmu said obediently: "I won't ask any more, let go."
Meng Yangzhou frowned again, stared at Qi Qingmu closely, and after making sure that he wasn't just perfunctory, he slowly let go of his hand.
Qi Qingmu took a step back and opened the distance.
"Lu Du and Geometry are both worried about you." He changed the subject naturally, "Even if you don't want to pay attention, it can't change the fact that they have always regarded you as a friend. Lu Du said more than once that you can stay here The dormitory is because of me, but in all fairness, the relationship between the four of us is not that simple."
His eyes were shining softly, and his tone was full of nostalgia for the good old days.Meng Yangzhou looked at him, with a choked breath in his throat, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and finally he didn't speak.
He just turned around silently, like Qi Qingmu, leaning on the railing of the balcony with his arms, looking out.
Qi Qingmu looked at him silently for a while, "I'll go back first."
He was answered by boundless silence.
Qi Qingmu returned to the dormitory, he smiled at the curious eyes of Shang Ludu and Cheng Geometric, and only said: "There will be no more disputes in the future."
Cheng Geometric exhaled exaggeratedly, and murmured, "That's great." He retracted into the curtain—his game hadn't been finished yet.
Lu Du thought more about it than the willingness to accept it.
"Are you okay?" When Qi Qingmu approached, he asked softly.
Qi Qingmu shook his head: "It's all right now."
Although there is no guarantee that Meng Yangzhou will not pester him in the future, in a short time, he will keep a distance from him because of the face of Young Master Meng.
And Meng Yangzhou obviously listened to the last sentence.
Qi Qingmu will probably never experience the way people in the upper circle make friends in this life, but he has heard of it.Lu Du and Cheng Geometry's family background can only be considered wealthy and cannot bring Meng Yangzhou any benefits, but in the dormitory, no matter whether Cheng Geometry acted like a baby with him or Lu Du occasionally pretended to reprimand him, Meng Yangzhou was never really angry...
This just shows that he has always disdained First Young Master Meng's status.
Qi Qingmu admits that he is despicable, and he will focus on describing some poignant topics, and use words to guide the other party into a situation of self-pity, so as to forget the original purpose.
After washing up, Qi Qingmu came out of the bathroom and passed Meng Yangzhou.
He was tall and straight, without squinting, as if he didn't see Qi Qingmu.
Lowering his head, Qi Qingmu slowly hooked his lips, revealing a relaxed smile.
Lying on the bed, Qi Qingmu put the phone beside the pillow.He set the alarm clock, got up early tomorrow morning, packed up the things needed for the first day of work and internship, and had a breakfast that would make the day full of energy.
Just as he was about to turn off the screen, his eyebrows moved slightly, he clicked on WeChat and found Gu Yu.
Qi Qingmu: Are you home yet?
The message fell through the cracks, and he didn't get a response.
There is work tomorrow, and Qi Qingmu's work and rest time is very regular, so he didn't wait too long, with a trace of worry, he turned off the screen and slowly closed his eyes.
In the bar, it was extremely noisy, and the colorful lights shone everywhere, printing everyone's faces with strange colors.
In the semi-circular booth, Gu Yu sat in the center, with a row of wine on the table in front of him.As if he was used to the noisy environment, he leaned on the soft sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and a game console in the other. The screen interface showed the game that had ended.
Guo Jin sat next to him, took a sip of Coke, and then yelled: "I don't agree, Brother Yu, let's have another game!"
The wine flows down the throat, arousing a spicy feeling.He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Guo Jin, and said, "Zhencai, I always want to fight back."
Guo Jin: "I'm playing with you, okay?"
Gu Yu: "No need, get out."
Being treated like this, Guo Jin was not angry, he approached with a smile, and said in a flattering way: "Brother Yu, look at you, you still have to be more soft-hearted, otherwise, like now, if you are in a bad mood, you can only find a buddy Come out, but can't find a wife."
Hearing this, Gu Yu glanced at him unhappily, and with a little alcohol smell when speaking, he raised his voice, "What is he?"
Guo Jin looked terrified: "Brother Yu, isn't this the one you just caught up with?"
"Just for fun." Gu Yu said indifferently.
At this time, a quiet girl came over and said with a smile, "Is that the one who played games with us at night? Wow, the voice is really nice."
"Yes, that's him!" Before Gu Yu could speak, Guo Jin responded, "What did I say, An Tian? Only a gentle, gentle and generous person can hold our Brother Yu down. You Not with your little sisters."
The girl named An Tian was sweet-looking, and she had two big dimples when she smiled. Hearing this, she looked at Gu Yu in embarrassment. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she immediately waved her fist pretending to be fierce, and said, "Guo Jin, You can't get ivory out of your dog's mouth!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you angry now? When you have a chance to see sister-in-law, how about you not be jealous?"
An Tian stared at him angrily: "When did I confess to Gu Yu, can you stop mentioning it!"
Guo Jin chuckled: "Aren't I afraid that you are still thinking about it?"
"I don't care about it..." She said something lacking in confidence, then glanced at Gu Yu indiscriminately, and found that he was actually playing a single-player game with a game console, and added even more annoyed: "I am also pursued, Why do you always miss him!"
After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat angrily, chatted with other people, and ignored them.
Guo Jin looked at her back and asked Gu Yu blankly, "What did I say wrong?"
Gu Yu didn't raise her head: "What did you say?"
"Yeah, I didn't say anything."
"I mean did you speak? I didn't hear a word."
Guo Jin: "..."
It's still my brother Yu who can play.
There is still a difference between Gu Yu drinking and not drinking, but the difference is not very obvious. Although he still talks and chats with others, his actions can be seen to be a little slow.
So Gu Yu decided to drink, and basically sat in one place without moving, and kept sitting like this.
Guo Jin received a message from Gu Yu in the middle of the night saying that he was going to form a game, so he immediately decided to set up the boiling point bar, but when he arrived and sent a message to Gu Yu, he heard that the young master said stubbornly that he would not go to the boiling point, but to go to Nantah University Stay away from the bar.
Thinking that Brother Yu was having a fight with that student from Nantah University, Guo Jin quickly took a group of people to change places, and thoughtfully brought two game consoles.
Sure enough, when Gu Yu arrived, his expression was indifferent, and he looked very displeased with everyone. The others didn't take the initiative to approach him when they saw this, and it was over after saying hello. Only he, Guo Jin, was the real man. A dozen beers.
"It's just to drink away your worries." He said.
Gu Yu didn't even give him a look, picked up the bottle and started drinking.
Guo Jin was also smart, knowing that Gu Yu was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask too many questions. He dragged Gu Yu to play a few games in a row, and when he was almost exhausted, he began to tentatively talk about the 'sister-in-law'.
Gu Yu didn't react much after hearing this, Guo Jin praised in his heart that he was really careful at every step.
But he doesn't gossip, he mentions it frequently just to make Gu Yu happy, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to say that he was just playing with the other party.
Guo Jin was really a little surprised. Others might not know how much Brother Yu cared about that Nantah student back then, how could he not know?
Now this sentence sounds like a bit of a joke...
Respect.
While the others were chatting together, Guo Jin asked Gu Yu in a low voice, "Brother Yu, are you really just playing around?"
Gu Yu: "Otherwise, can he still control me?"
Guo Jin: "That can't be done, who can control my Brother Yu..."
Before the words finished, Gu Yu's cell phone on the sofa buzzed, and a chat interface popped up.Because Guo Jin is also close, so when he lowered his head, he also saw the pop-up window of WeChat.
【are you home yet? 】
The four characters are like light wind and drizzle, infiltrating the dry soil.
Guo Jin: "..."
Gu Yu frowned, glared at Guo Jin, picked up the phone as if covering up, and fiddled with himself for a long time, looking to reply to the letter, but his expression was tangled, as if he was in a psychological struggle with himself.
Finally, in front of Guo Jin, he snorted coldly, and stuffed the phone into his coat pocket to cover up.
"Boring." He murmured, then stood up, making a gesture to go out.
Guo Jin: "Brother Yu, are you going to the bathroom?"
Gu Yu: "Well, don't bother me."
Guo Jin: "Okay."
After 5 minutes, Gu Yu did not come back.
An Tian kept staring in the direction of the bathroom. She came here for Gu Yu. The protagonist is not here, so it is meaningless for her to stay here, so she pushed Guo Jin and said, "Is he drinking too much? Go and see ?”
Guo Jinhao waved his hand angrily, "Brother Yu said he won't let me go, and with his drinking capacity, a few bottles of beer are not even an aperitif."
An Tian pursed her lips: "That's fine."
Another 10 minutes passed, and Gu Yu disappeared without a trace.
An Tian: "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Guo Jin: "...wait a minute, what if the stomach is ruined!"
After half an hour.
Under the dim light, the chubby Guo Jin shrank his neck and squeezed out several layers of chin. He stretched out his hands to hold his forehead a little tiredly, and sighed frequently.
"There's no need to go." He said, "It's time to go."
An Tian: "...Huh?"
Guo Jin raised his head and looked at the sky sadly at 45 degrees.
"Brother Yu's family is here to urge... Alas, this filthy and stinky love."
He even ran out at night to drink away his worries, stayed outside for less than an hour, and the other party didn't even make a phone call, just a simple WeChat greeting, Gu Yu sneaked away first, what reason and evidence is needed for this ?
After all, he was still handled to death.
At six o'clock the next morning, Qi Qingmu woke up naturally.
The alarm was set at 06:30, and it hadn't sounded yet. The bedroom was quiet. Before he got out of bed, he turned off the alarm of his mobile phone, then charged it, and quietly entered the bathroom to start washing.
When he came out fully dressed, it was just 06:30.
He seldom stays in bed, as long as he gets enough sleep, he won't think about continuing to sleep after waking up, so he is very energetic, unlike others who yawn after waking up.Before leaving, he tidied up the work supplies that he needed to bring. Qi Qingmu looked up at the three beds with closed curtains, then took out a post-it note and left them a post-it note for them to go to work by themselves on the door.
After doing all this, he quietly left the dormitory.
There are relatively few people at the breakfast stand today, because on Saturday, everyone wants to sleep in and there are very few people who get up on time step by step.It was rare for Qi Qingmu to enter the room and find an empty seat. This table happened to be near the window. He served a bowl of porridge and ordered a side dish. Instead of choosing pasta as usual, he sat down with the porridge and side dishes in silence. ate up.
The proprietress passed by him, and seeing familiarity, she warmly and politely stood up to the man, "That's all you eat, aren't you hungry?"
Qi Qingmu smiled, and replied ambiguously: "I will definitely be full."
"Then you should drink more porridge. The porridge is calculated according to the bowl, and you can serve it as you like." The proprietress was quite serious.
Qi Qingmu said thank you, and then drank the porridge silently.
At seven o'clock in the morning, there were more customers in the breakfast shop.Qi Qingmu only drank half of his porridge, probably because he has enough time, his movements are graceful, and his unhurried appearance seems to be out of tune with other people.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
When a bowl of porridge was about to bottom out, a panting voice came from the door.
Qi Qingmu's expression was slightly concentrated, but he didn't look over, scooped the last bit of porridge into the spoon, and put it in his mouth.
The fragrance of rice porridge spreads in the mouth, but what lingers on the tip of the nose is another kind of fragrance...
Two drawers of steamed buns were placed on the table, and a person was seated in the empty chair opposite while he was drinking porridge.
Qi Qingmu hid the smile in his eyes, looked up at the person opposite, "You're late."
The person sitting opposite was Gu Yu who didn't reply to any message last night.
He was wearing a sportswear, mainly gray and white, his hair seemed to have just been washed, and it hadn't been completely dried, and the ends of his hair were in strands, obviously tidying up in a hurry before he came.
Regarding Qi Qingmu's words, he didn't even have a head, and directly picked up a chopstick and put a side dish into his mouth.
Qi Qingmu raised his eyebrows, "Look up."
Gu Yu paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, hesitated for a few seconds, and raised his head.
There was a faint cyan color under those eyes that used to be arrogant, and the redness in the eyes was more obvious.
"Stay up late." Just by taking a look, Qi Qingmu knew what was going on, "What time did you go to bed last night?"
Gu Yu's complexion was not very good, and he snorted, "You are too strict."
"I don't care about you." Qi Qingmu said kindly: "Just asking, you can't keep me from being curious, right?"
Gu Yu choked for a moment, thought for a while but couldn't think of a rebuttal, and finally said impatiently: "A little bit."
"Sleep at one o'clock, and rushed over at seven o'clock. Counting you starting at 06:30, you slept for about five hours." After the analysis, Qi Qingmu smiled harmlessly, "No wonder you have dark circles."
Gu Yu clicked his tongue: "What do you want to say?"
Qi Qingmu looked at him with a smile: "I want to say, thank you for having breakfast with me."
Gu Yu: "..."
My face was a little swollen and hot. I wonder if it was because I rushed to take a shower in the morning and didn't adjust the water temperature properly, so I got burned.
Clearing his throat, Gu Yu stood up with his head down, and said, "I'm going to serve the porridge." The back view looked a bit like running away.
Qi Qingmu looked away, and at the same time, his smile gradually disappeared.
Gu Yu must have not slept well last night, and today he stubbornly followed him to have breakfast. To be honest, Qi Qingmu was a little moved, because the invitation was sent out last night because he was worried about his psychological state. Qi Qingmu no longer understands the strife and infighting in the big family, nor can he deny that people are connected by blood, so he worried that Gu Yu didn't go home directly, and thought of inviting him to breakfast to restrain him, but forgot that even if he went home obediently, It is also possible that he cannot sleep, and spends the night alone, waiting for the dawn.
If you don't care, it is definitely impossible.
From last night until now, Qi Qingmu was somewhat worried about Gu Yu.
The two of them finished eating two drawers of steamed buns together, Qi Qingmu ate less, and he just ate with Gu Yu afterwards.With plenty of time, Qi Qingmu was not in a hurry to leave, he quietly waited for Gu Yu to finish eating.
"Does the two drawers of steamed buns count as money?" he asked.
Gu Yu didn't have the habit of giving money in advance. He only gave money after eating. Qi Qingmu still remembered that the first time he met at the breakfast stand, he was stopped by the boss because the other party didn't pay. get away.
Hearing his words, Gu Yu snorted: "It's over."
Qi Qingmu withdrew his hand that wanted to transfer the money, and said, "Why did you pay the bill in advance this time?"
"I want you to take care of it." Gu Yu said calmly.
Qi Qingmu smiled, not angry at all, and walked out behind him: "Go back and have a good sleep."
I don't need to do anything myself, just make an appointment to have breakfast, and then send myself back to bed.Complicated emotions surged in Gu Yu's heart, he is not a fool, how could he not be aware of Qi Qingmu's purpose.
He paused for a moment, waited for Qi Qingmu to follow up naturally, rubbed shoulders with him, and when he walked a little closer to the front, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
"What time do you get off work today?" He asked coldly.
Qi Qingmu paused, looked down at his hands, then looked up at his slightly flushed face, blinked and said, "Five o'clock."
"...for dinner?"
For a moment, Qi Qingmu thought he was hallucinating, "Huh?"
Gu Yu clicked his tongue irritably, frowned, pretending to be very upset, and his voice was more than twice as loud as before, "I said, shall we have dinner together?"
Qi Qingmu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't eat, you will fall down." Gu Yu said impatiently, shaking off his hand.
Qi Qingmu was thrown by him, and his hand swung back with force, and accidentally hit the corner of the table, a sharp pain hit him, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and took a breath.
"Are you okay?" Gu Yu frowned, and reached out to grab his hand again, but Qi Qingmu dodged it.
"It's okay." Qi Qingmu said: "It's not serious, it just hurts because I didn't guard against it."
Gu Yu's hand froze in mid-air, moved his fingers, and retracted them lonely.
The two walked slowly towards the bus stop one after the other. They didn't take the same bus, but judging by Gu Yu's appearance, they probably also wanted to take the bus home.
Along the way, neither of them spoke until they stood at the bus stop, and Qi Qingmu took out his phone to check the time.
Perhaps it was this subtle movement that made Gu Yu aware of the opportunity. He cleared his throat before speaking, "Are you late?"
"No." Qi Qingmu shook his head: "There is plenty of time."
"Oh." After a few seconds of silence, he asked again: "Dinner..."
Going around and returning to this topic, Qi Qingmu felt a little helpless, and asked him with a smile: "Why do you want to have dinner with me?"
For some reason, he felt that Gu Yu looked at him with a little more inquisitive look.
"I don't know." Gu Yu replied, "If you ask me, I don't know."
What kind of answer is this?
Qi Qingmu blinked: "Then why don't I ask?"
There were no cars driving around, and the road seemed to be cut off suddenly. It was extremely quiet, and it was in this situation that various subtle sounds began to amplify infinitely.
It's like Gu Yu can feel his own thumping heartbeat, and the young man's long and gentle breath.
He heard himself reply as if uncontrollably: "That's because I want to eat with you."
After the voice fell, a bus came around a corner not far away and made a beeping sound ahead of time.
The surroundings seemed to be once again caught in the hustle and bustle of the world.
Qi Qingmu was stunned for a moment, looked away behind Gu Yu, and then raised his hand to beckon - the bus he was going to take came.
Following his movements, Gu Yu turned his head and saw the bus getting closer and closer, he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his position, and leaned towards the inside of the platform.
The bus was driving slower and slower, Qi Qingmu's eyes flickered slightly, and for some reason, an indescribable sense of anxiety surged into his heart.
Even though the time suddenly shortened, Qi Qingmu still asked, "Why do you want to have dinner with me?"
At this time, the bus has stopped in front of the platform.At this stop, only Qi Qingmu got on the bus alone.
He paused for two seconds, seeing that Gu Yu lowered his head, didn't look at himself, and didn't intend to answer, his eyes couldn't hide the complexity, he pursed his lips, and he stepped on the bus.
The prompt sound of the bus card sounded, and at the same time, the sound of closing the door was amplified in the ears.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear Gu Yu say something, but when he turned his head, Gu Yu had already walked along the road.
Looking at his back through the window, Qi Qingmu found an empty seat by the window and sat down.
The bus gradually drifted away, passing Gu Yu, leaving him far behind.
After a long time, Qi Qingmu looked away from the window.
He took out his phone, clicked on WeChat, and found Gu Yu's chat interface.
A line of words was typed, and finally cut into a blank in hesitation.
It's just a small episode, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.Qi Qingmu said to himself in his heart.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he stepped into the studio on time.
The receptionist at the front desk was not the boy he was when he came two times before, but a woman, about 30 years old, well maintained, but from her words and deeds, it can be seen that she has not just set foot in society young schoolgirl.
"You haven't graduated yet, right? You can just call me Sister Moss." While taking Qi Qingmu upstairs, she introduced herself: "Leng Mengtai, moss is the moss of moss."
"Hello, Sister Tess, my name is Qi Qingmu." He followed Leng Mengtai, the whole way was very empty and quiet, similar to the scene of the previous two visits, so he couldn't help asking: "I didn't come to work on Saturday and Sunday. ?"
"Yes, people who stay here on Saturdays and Sundays work overtime, and the working hours are not stable. Come and leave whenever you want."
"That's right." Qi Qingmu nodded clearly, and said again: "Then you are?"
"On duty, there must be someone at the front desk on Saturdays and Sundays." Leng Mengtai took him up to the second floor, walked straight along the corridor, and finally stopped outside an office, "Mr. Fu told you to use this office."
"Office?" Qi Qingmu stopped at the door in surprise, not daring to open it rashly.
He thought he would be put in a small group and given a small desk like a regular clerk.
"That's right." Leng Mengtai also looked at him in surprise, and explained logically: "In our place, all designers have separate workspaces."
"...I'm not a designer yet." Qi Qingmu smiled awkwardly, "I'm just lucky enough to come here for an internship."
"I understand, you think you're an errand runner, don't you?" Leng Mengtai smiled, patted him on the shoulder familiarly, and gave him encouragement: "Don't worry, we won't bury any talents here. You work hard , after graduation, maybe he will become a regular directly."
Qi Qingmu nodded with a smile.
Under Leng Mengtai's acquiescing eyes, he slowly pushed open the small door defined as 'Qi Qingmu Design Studio'——
The overall space is not too big, about ten square meters, with French windows on the south side, and a big table in front of the window, which is different from the heavy wooden desks that bosses use. It is a simple and thin Nordic style. Desks and chairs are also matched. Near the door is a row of waist-high cabinets, and on the other side against the wall is a custom-made cabinet frame.
Apart from these basic office furniture, there was nothing left in the room. When I swept over it suddenly, it was empty at first glance, as if it had been emptied.
"It's very good here." After a quick scan, Qi Qingmu turned to Leng Mengtai and said, "Thank you for bringing me here."
"It's okay." Leng Mengtai said very politely: "I'll send you the work arranged by Mr. Fu in a while. Today, the whole studio is just the two of us. If you need anything, please come to me."
Qi Qingmu: "...Okay."
There are only two people in such a big studio, and I really don't know what to say for a while.
After Leng Mengtai left, Qi Qingmu placed the things he brought on the table one by one.What he brought were all the daily necessities, such as water cups and charging treasures.Fu Meng clearly said that you don't need to bring any work tools, as the studio has them.
He rummaged through the cabinet, but it was empty.
Just as he was hesitating, there was a knock on the half-closed door, and Leng Mengtai walked in with a carton of documents, and Qi Qingmu quickly reached out to take it.
"Are these what I'm going to do today?" Qi Qingmu tilted his weight calmly, quite heavy.
"It's impossible, I can't finish it in one day." Leng Mengtai added with a smile: "Today and tomorrow, you can do it as you see. If Mr. Fu comes today or tomorrow, you can go to him, if he doesn't come, Just mark your completed design draft and put it on his desk. Do you remember where his office is?"
"remember."
"That's good. Then if you need something for work, go directly to the material room to get it. The material room is the translucent glass room in the middle of the second floor. Next to it is the tea room. There is coffee and tea. You can make whatever you want. I have to Watch from below, you can't always come up to help you, if you have anything, go down and find me."
She walked out while talking, Qi Qingmu followed her with the box in her arms, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I will be a colleague from now on, happy work."
When she left this time, she closed the door.
With a low bang, Qi Qingmu slowly let out a breath.
He looked around, repeatedly confirming that he was really going to start working, and a sense of uneasy joy flooded his body.
It's not that Qi Qingmu has never worked part-time, but part-time jobs are completely different from the current feeling.This may be the only way for him to work and earn a living in the future. It matches the major he has studied, and the working environment is very compatible with his requirements.
Putting the box on the table, Qi Qingmu casually took out two file bags, opened them and flipped through the proposals inside. It was marked completed on them, and they should be backups of completed proposals, which were downloaded by customers. It is not known whether it is the assessment given to the employees within the studio alone.
Qi Qingmu took off his jacket, unbuttoned the cuffs, and rolled them up bit by bit, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
He is full of expectations for the future.
The whole morning was not long or short. Qi Qingmu only completed one survey paper, which was laid flat on the table.
