Proud Gu Mingyu

After the winter vacation, Gu Mingyu was about to go back to school. He had already arrived at the airport in the provincial capital, when a phone call called him back.

It was very windy and gloomy that day, and the first spring thunder in [-] sounded muffled overhead.It was night when I got home, and Xu Gang opened the door.When Gu Mingyu left home yesterday, Xu Gang was still worrying about being forced into marriage by his mother——Hu Zhen said that she wanted to see Xu Gang get married, and had kissed him several times. Very unhappy to pick.

When Gu Mingyu went upstairs, Xu Gang stood at the stairs and said: "I was wrong, Mingyu, I was wrong, the girl yesterday was actually very nice, if I agree to marry her, do you think mom will be happy?"

The light was not turned on in the living room, Gu Mingyu couldn't see Xu Gang's face, he didn't know what to say to his elder brother, he said in silence for a long time: "You are not wrong."

Then he turned and went upstairs to his mother's room and opened the door—he forgot to knock.

Gu Huaili sat by the bed, hunched over, as if he aged ten years overnight.

Gu Mingyu stood at the door, at that moment, he forgot to breathe, and just stared blankly at the bulge on the bed.After being ill, Hu Zhen was too thin. When she was healthy, she weighed more than 130 catties, and then she was [-] catties, [-] catties, and [-] catties...

"She said, 'The three children must be treated equally. I used my dowry back then and the gold I saved over the years to melt it down. I made a few gold bracelets for the children. When the three of them have children, what do you give? They have one share for each of them'" Gu Huaili sat there, watching Gu Mingyu approaching step by step, he burst into tears, "'You can find someone else, but my room is not allowed for other women, you move out and put It’s for Mingyu. Don’t put my photos at home, burn them all—my mother did the same thing back then, so as not to make my children feel sad when they see it.

I don't want you to go to the funeral... I didn't forgive you for what you did wrong... I will punish you not to send me off. '"

"I regret it! Mingyu, I really regret it!"

Gu Mingyu didn't regret it, when he left home yesterday, his mother was still sitting upstairs looking at him, he went to say goodbye to her, she stroked his face and asked if he could not leave.

But when Gu Mingyu promised her to call the school to ask for leave, her mother stopped her, saying that she would not affect her studies because of her, and that she would wait for him at home.Gu Mingyu regretted why she didn't persevere, but after leaving for less than 24 hours, she couldn't even see her for the last time.

"Dad, I want to see her." Gu Huaili hugged his waist tightly, and Gu Mingyu couldn't even walk over.

"No need, no need." Gu Huaili shook his head. Hu Zhen died in his arms. He and Xu Gang were both there. At that time, Xu Gang's tragic and hoarse cry was still in his ears. How could he be willing to change Mingyu? In this way, he was even glad that Mingyu was not at home at that time.

"Uncle and uncle haven't notified yet, Mingyu can help daddy to get in touch... They must know." While waiting for Mingyu to come home, he and Xu Gang sat on the bed and sat on the ground alone. I stayed like this for several hours, until Mingyu knocked on the door downstairs, and Xu just scrambled and climbed downstairs.

"Okay." Gu Mingyu felt that his current state was very strange. Gu Huaili was holding him and crying just now. His warm tears wet his clothes and flowed down the back of his hands. He thought he would cry out, but he didn't. , The corners of his eyes were so astringent that he couldn't shed a single tear.

But when he turned around, he heard his father asking behind him: "Mingyu, are you okay?"

When Gu Mingyu turned his head, he felt that his tone was extremely normal, "I'm fine." Then he saw his father's worried face, hesitating to speak.Gu Mingyu didn't ask his father what he wanted to say, he just walked out of the room, went back downstairs and took out his mobile phone from his backpack, opened the address book and started dialing one by one.

Everyone on the other end of the phone said "sorry" or "don't be sad" to him. When they called Gu Mingzhu, Mingzhu already knew about it. When Gu Huaili informed Mingyu, he also called her, and her sister cried into tears on the phone At this moment, Gu Mingyu's tenderness and patience seemed to have disappeared, as if the person opposite was not his closest sister.

He interrupted her impatiently and asked her when she would be back, and after getting the result of rushing back tomorrow, he hung up the phone.

After finishing these things, Gu Mingyu stared at the phone in a daze. There was a low sobbing sound from his brother's room downstairs. Gu Mingyu stood up abruptly, opened the door and walked out. He didn't know what he wanted to do, and his heart was so irritable that he was about to explode , he couldn't cry.

It was very cold in the yard, and the wind was biting. Gu Mingyu was standing under the tree, looking up at the window on the second floor. The last time he came home, his mother was sitting there looking at the door. smile.

It was night now, Gu Mingyu couldn't see clearly, he just stood with his head up.

After standing like this for a long time, his body was already stiff by the wind. When the phone rang, Gu Mingyu picked it up mechanically, and Ji Linyuan's voice came from his ear.

"Mingyu... When are you coming back?" Ji Linyuan kept sending him text messages during this time, but Gu Mingyu didn't reply, and he seemed to be angry with him at that time.

Gu Mingyu didn't speak, nor did he hang up the phone. Ji Linyuan was very nervous. He stammered a lot and apologized to Gu Mingyu.

He also said, "Mingyu, I miss you very much."

Then he asked again, "When are you coming back?"

Gu Mingyu said coldly: "When do I go back, it's none of your business?"

Ji Linyuan took a deep breath, and his tone suddenly became cautious: "School is about to start, if you don't come back, you won't be able to catch up with class?"

Gu Mingyu let out a "hmm", her voice suddenly choked up.

Ji Linyuan heard something wrong, and asked him what was wrong, Gu Mingyu said, "The wind is blowing cold."

At that moment, even Gu Mingyu himself was puzzled by his behavior. He could tell Ji Linyuan that he lost her, and he could cry to him. Tears were already rolling in his eyes, but he pretended nothing happened.

"I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time." When Gu Mingyu hung up the phone, he clearly heard Ji Linyuan's reluctant voice, but he still pressed the hang up button.

On the day of Hu Zhen's funeral, Gu Huaili really didn't go, Mingzhu's eyes were red from crying, Xu Gang was no exception, only Gu Mingyu's face was the same as usual.He heard someone talking about them behind their backs, saying that he was cold-hearted, and that he was a child whose parents spoiled him since he was a child, and that he might bully his elder brother and sister in the future.

Gu Mingyu also felt that he might be really cold-blooded, he couldn't cry like grandma and the others, they were waiting in the incineration room, at that time he and Mingzhu finally saw their mother, and Mingzhu fainted from crying In the past, as for him... He felt that the mummified corpse was not his mother, so he could look at it directly, push it into the incinerator with his own hands, and take out a box of ashes named his mother.

His mother is a woman with a rich appearance and a graceful personality. She cooks delicious meals. Although she doesn't have much time to accompany him, as long as she is by her side, she will call him in a gentle voice.

"Mingyu, my little Mingyu."

After the funeral, Gu Mingyu stayed for another half a month, and Gu Huai fell ill.He was already in poor health, and after Hu Zhen passed away, he couldn't eat well, and within a few days his stomach disease recurred and he was hospitalized.Gu Mingyu's uncle also came back this time and stayed at Mingyu's house.Gu Mingyu noticed that there seemed to be many mysteries about his uncle, but at this moment he didn't bother to ask.

My uncle has an adopted son who is taking care of him. The man is 27 or [-] years old, and he speaks in a calm and graceful manner.

Gu Mingyu had never seen him before, and only heard that he was a child from Gu Huaili's hometown. His father was a gambler. He lost money in gambling during the Chinese New Year and ran to his uncle's house, saying that he wanted to use his son as a mortgage to borrow money.At that time, my uncle was a guest at my uncle's house. Seeing that the child was covered in bruises and beaten to death, he couldn't see it for a while, so he sued the father for child abuse.Later, it was discovered that the gambler not only gambled and took drugs, but also sold his wife a few years ago, and was convicted of trafficking in women.

The father counted the crimes and punished him to sit in prison, but the mother couldn't find him. The child became an orphan. My uncle took him by his side and raised him until he was a teenager. Then he was sent abroad to study. It is said that he bought a house and settled down there. , I don’t know why but now it’s back again.

The man's surname was Lu, and his name was Lu Yan. Gu Mingyu felt awkward when he heard his name, because his uncle's name was Gu Huaiyan, and he was named according to the family lineage. Some are uncomfortable.And this Lu Yan always looked at his uncle with strange eyes. At first, Gu Mingyu just thought it was strange. After seeing him a lot, he realized that Ji Linyuan would occasionally look at him with such eyes. It was explicit and secretive, and seemed to be full of uncontrollable longing. .

There is a ten-year age difference between Gu Mingyu and Lu Yan, and they are not cheerful and talkative people. The number of conversations in more than ten days can be counted on the fingers, so when Lu Yan stopped him in the hospital corridor, Gu Mingyu felt baffled.

Perhaps due to the influence of his childhood experience, Lu Yan usually looks very gracious, but when he actually talks face to face with people, he habitually looks away, but his voice is low and appears more stable.

"Your uncle is very worried about you."

When he heard the opening remarks, Gu Mingyu was stunned. He suddenly got a little irritable, shook the insulated lunch box in his hand, and said impatiently: "Thank you, I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I'll go first. Bringing food to my dad."

Lu Yan blocked the aisle to prevent him from passing. He turned his head and looked directly at Gu Mingyu. Gu Mingyu saw his eyes clearly for the first time. It was hard to believe that the eyes of an adult could be so clear, with Gu Mingyu's face reflected in them, indifferent And pale, like a machine without emotion.

Lu Yan said: "You have something to do, and it's very bad. Both your dad and your uncle can see it. Don't be brave anymore. You are still a child. It doesn't matter if you can cry."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to stroke Gu Mingyu's forehead. He was a little taller than Gu Mingyu, and it was probably the first time he coaxed a child. This man looked nervous and his hands were trembling.

Gu Mingyu shook his head and dodged. He looked straight back at Lu Yan, with offended anger on his face, and said word by word: "Don't worry about it."

He paused, and then continued as if taking revenge: "You should understand that you can't represent my uncle. Also, can you restrain his eyes a little bit? If my uncle knows, his adopted son is gay, and Have unreasonable thoughts about him, what do you think he will do?"

The current Gu Mingyu is sharp and irritable. Lu Yan's intentions were good, but when he met the unreasonable Gu Mingyu, his good intentions turned into meddling.

Lu Yan's raised hand froze, he didn't seem to expect that Gu Mingyu had such a personality, and he could actually see the secret he had buried deep in his heart for many years.It's just that now that the matter has been exposed, he doesn't want to hide it anymore.It's been ten years, since he fell in love with Gu Huaiyan, he has been suffocating in his heart. The child in front of him is his nephew, and his personality is more or less similar.Suddenly Lu Jian Lu Yan wanted to confide.

Because that person also treated him with the same attitude back then, even the arcs of their brows were exactly the same.

Lu Yan smiled wryly: "He will send me far away and never look at me again, just like he once did."
