embrace the moon

"...Uh," Jian Qiao looked at the person in front of him, was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the house number, "Is this old Chen's house?"

The woman in front of her is very heroic, and she has a sassy temperament, which adds a bit of wildness.

"Come in," the woman smiled, and made room for him. "Old Chen is not at home. He has gone to buy breakfast. He may be back in 10 minutes."

Jian Qiao entered the door in a daze.The furnishing of the home is the same as before, but this woman is as casual and natural as a hostess.But... I've never seen this woman before. Moreover, Lao Chen, who has always taken care of others, would leave the guest alone at home. I feel that they have an unusual relationship.

"Drink water," the woman poured him a glass of water, "My name is Gu Lingzi, Lao Chen's lover, and your name is...Jian Qiao, right?"

"...Ah, yes," Jian Qiao nodded, "Hello."

……Shock!

Lao Chen actually has a lover?

Did it happen recently?

Never heard of it.

She even knew Jian Qiao.

I have to say that this lady looked familiar, as if she had seen it before.Jian Qiao thought for a while, and became more and more certain that he had seen it, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

The knock on the door rang again.Jian Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, it should be Lao Chen who came back.

Gu Lingzi got up to open the door, and vaguely heard greetings.Then a tall and slender figure walked in, Jian Qiao looked up, and that person also looked over, both of them were taken aback.

"...Lonely?" Jian Qiao was a little surprised, "You're here too."

Gu Lingzi closed the door, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them: "Mr. Gu is also interesting. He went to other provinces to guide Shu Mu, but left his apprentice to Lao Chen. I don't think anyone can do anything about him." gone."

"Master actually went to help Shu Mu?" Jian Qiao thought for a while, then smiled, "Turn your elbows out."

"He and Shu Yucheng have been enemies and friends all their lives, and they have a deep friendship. It is quite understandable to help Shu Mu," Gu Lingzi said, "But... why Shu Mu didn't join the Painting Boat Hall? I have never understood."

Jian Qiao didn't know about this question, and to tell the truth, he was also a little curious.

"It may be that the students who followed Mr. Shu all dispersed after his death," said Leng Qing suddenly, "He is not very suitable for joining the second team, after all, he may experience dissolution again."

Jian Qiao was silent.

It is indeed very likely that this is the case, although he has met Shu Mu, this person looks like he doesn't care about anything, but what is thinking in his heart is always unpredictable.

It was only at this moment that he began to think about this question.

Gu Qianfan is old and will leave them one day.

What will happen to everyone?

What choice will Leng Qing make?

What about Gu Yu?

Regarding this matter, has Leng Qing secretly thought about it many nights, has she ever struggled with it, and has she had her own thoughts and plans?

Fortunately, Leng Qing was also there. After Lao Chen came back, they discussed together. Jian Qiao quietly put a red envelope under Lao Chen's notebook when no one was paying attention.

This was entrusted by Gu Yu to Lao Chen. The handwriting on it, the flowers drawn, and the words written on it should be very familiar to Lao Chen, as soon as he saw it, he would know who it was.

Since the holiday, Jian Qiao and Leng Qing rarely met each other, so they ate together at a restaurant near the old Chen's community after the holiday.

It wasn't until the two of them waited speechlessly for the food after ordering that they said coldly, "Which lady is the reporter who called Lao Chen for verification during the previous competition."

Jian Qiao suddenly realized: "Ah, I remembered."

Nodding coldly, he stopped talking.

"I heard, uh..." Jian Qiao thought carefully about how to speak, "She is Lao Chen's...lover?"

"Yeah." Leng Qing answered.

"You know? It's the first time I've met them together. I haven't seen them for so many days before. Maybe they're in a different place..." Jian Qiao said.

"Today is Valentine's Day." Leng Qing said.

"...Ah," Jian Qiao blinked, and finally remembered this matter, "Yes, Valentine's Day."

Jian Qiao had some inexplicable emotions.

When going out today, Gu Yu asked him very tactfully when he would go back.Jian Qiao replied: "I don't know, it depends on the situation."

So Gu Xiaobao patiently asked him if he could go back as soon as possible, Jian Qiao replied: "Xuan, there are a lot of questions today."

After saying this sentence, Gu Yu didn't say anything more, but his expression was wonderful, it's hard to describe.

Thinking about it now, maybe Gu Yu was waiting for him to go back together and have some ingenious activities.Jian Qiao couldn't blame him for not speaking up, after all, Guan Xiaoli was there.

Now look at the watch again, it is already evening.

Jian Qiao held the teacup and sighed softly.

Leng Qing heard him sigh, raised his eyes to look at him, but with just one glance, there was a little smile in his eyes.

Jian Qiao caught a glimpse of him looking up, and she also raised her head to meet him, her eyes met, and when she saw his affectionate eyes, her back shivered.Why are you laughing all of a sudden?It's still the ambiguous demeanor of not smiling but smiling eyes.

"Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for your lover on Valentine's Day."

Jian Qiao followed the sound and saw a child about ten years old coming with a bag of roses, looking at her desertedly, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brothers, let's buy a few!" The little girl shouted enthusiastically.

Jian Qiao helplessly supported his forehead, and said gently, "Do you think we are in love?"

"It's okay to give it to a friend, brother, let's buy a bunch~" the little girl said.

The appearance of this little friend was really inopportune, and Jian Qiao felt very embarrassed for a while.

It's very comfortable to be deserted, and it's rare to be gentle: "Give me a bunch."

Jian Qiao looked at him in surprise.

Leng Qing paid the money, holding a bouquet of flaming roses in his hands, he slightly lowered his head and sniffed, then shrugged his shoulders lightly, smiled indistinctly, as if to say: "It's not very fragrant. "

"Brother, you should buy a bunch too," the little girl persevered in persuading him, "Buy it for your boyfriend and girlfriend."

Jian Qiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled shyly: "A bouquet of flowers is a bit eye-catching, let's forget it."

"One is fine," the little girl said, "if you buy one, you will have good luck."

"Then you should sell peach blossoms," Jian Qiao smiled, and finally gave up resistance, "Let's just have one."

Jian Qiao held a single rose, looked up and silently counted how many branches there were in the deserted bouquet.one two three four five six seven eight.

He untied the ribbons and packaging of the roses, and then took the deserted bouquet, and wanted to untie it and spread it on the table, but the ribbons were a bit complicated, and for some reason, they couldn't be pulled apart lightly.

"Brother, can I help you?" the little girl said.

Jian Qiao looked at the roses, the roots had thorns, and was afraid of hurting the girl's hands, so he waved his hands: "It's okay, I'll be fine, thank you."

After the girl left, Jianqiao took it apart for a while, but did not.Leng Qing looked at him with interest, as if waiting for him to play some tricks.

With a move of Jian Qiao's hand, the ribbon was torn apart.

... not to untie, but to tear.

He raised his eyes and gave Leng Qing a guilty look.

The cold face did not change, still looking at his hand.

Jian Qiao unwrapped the package, put his single rose in it, repacked it, and explained: "When I was learning Russian, the teacher said that in Russia, you should send flowers in odd numbers. Even numbers are unlucky. They are for the deceased. of."

"Before?" asked Leng Qing.

"...Ah, I'm still learning." Jian Qiao said, wrapping the flowers again. The ribbon is made of two crude ribbons spliced ​​together. It's not very beautiful, but fortunately, the flowers are still gorgeous, and the flaws are not hidden.

He passed the flower over, took it coldly, and looked down carefully.

Jian Qiao had nothing to say: "Is it fragrant?"

"It's okay," Leng Qing hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "It's so-so."

Jian Qiao laughed, reached out to take it, and Leng Qing was about to give it to him too, when both of them stretched out their hands, Jian Qiao's hand suddenly took Leng Qing's hand.Ice cold, no temperature.

He quickly shrank back, and coldly put the flowers on the table and pushed them in front of him.

Jian Qiao lowered his head and sniffed.

"Is it fragrant?" asked Leng Qing.

"It's okay," Jian Qiao said, and then added, "It's so-so."

Leng Qing smiled.

"I want to draw a bouquet," he explained.

"That's it," Jian Qiao said, "Then you are indebted to it. If you buy it tomorrow, the price will drop a lot."

Gu Yu rode a bicycle and wore earphones leisurely on the road, the sky had already darkened, and the crowd came and went, most of them were in pairs, most of them were talking arm in arm, laughing and intimacy.

Did Jian Qiao really not understand or pretended not to understand? The reason he tactfully asked him to come back earlier was because there was a fireworks show on Valentine’s Day in the Art Square. Didn’t he agree to go to see it a few days ago?

Could it be intentional?Play deaf and dumb and pretend it didn't happen?

No, Gu Yu changed his mind and thought that Jian Qiao should be trying to surprise him.Even a fool can predict the ups and downs of ups and downs.

He laughed and kicked the pedals happily.Hey, Jian Qiaoqiao.

Gu Yu rode to the neighborhood of the old Chen family, wondering if he should wait for him in another place.I'm usually downstairs in the unit, and today I should change to a more secluded location, so that when he comes out, I can jump in front of him and scare him.

But before leaving, Jian Qiao said that it might take a long time, what if we wait until late at night?Or find a place to eat?

Gu Yu looked around, planning to choose a place that looked delicious.

Home cooking, no, it's boring.

Noodle shop, no, I want something exciting.

Delicious stewed vegetables.well?It seems to be a little exciting, but it is absolutely delicious.

Steakhouse?I want to eat a little.

But it feels a bit expensive, and shouldn't you be too full?Maybe Jian Qiao would have to eat together after he came out.

Or is it a noodle shop?

It’s too mediocre, it’s cooked so fast, it’ll be gone in a while, Jian Qiao might still be dawdling.

Home cooking?

more mediocre.

Gu Yu struggled for a moment, then compromised, maybe it's not that mediocre, even though Gu Xiaobao is the leader in home cooking.

He turned his head and prepared to go to the home cooking restaurant.

I looked up.

Two people.

Familiar figure.

Reach out, Rose, hold your hands together, and laugh.

Gu Yu froze and opened his eyes wide.

Rose?

Red roses, a bouquet.

He immediately clenched the handlebar, stepped on the pedal, and approached the store door.

The two people inside the glass window looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Yu slammed on the brakes.

His eyes stayed on the bouquet of roses.

One.

two.

three.

Four.

five.

six.

seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Nine flowers.

Gu Yu was a little dazed.

A young couple walked by the side of the road, the girl was holding a bouquet of delicate roses, the two whispered softly, and suddenly laughed heartily.

Gu Yu turned his head, took a deep breath secretly, turned the car around and sped away.

hungry.

I do not want to eat.

Stomach pain.

Gu Yu leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face, curled his legs, and looked at his phone with his earphones on in the darkness.

A foreign movie was playing on the phone, and he was talking about half of it in a daze.

pain.

He frowned, let go, and the phone slid off the quilt.He bowed his head and buried it in his knees.

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Yu sighed softly, raised his head and sat up, and put the phone on his lap again.

After knocking several times, he didn't answer.The door was opened, a figure walked in, turned on the light, and the room was brightened instantly.

"It's only eight o'clock, and you're in bed?" Jian Qiao said, approached, sat down on the edge of the bed, glanced at his mobile phone, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Yu remained silent, still staring at the screen.

Jian Qiao reached out, pressed the pause button on the earphones, took off the earphones, and said gently: "There is still time, shall we watch the fireworks?"

Gu Yu snatched the headset from his hand, and replied indifferently: "Go away."

Jian Qiao smiled in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yu didn't speak, put on the earphones and continued playing.

Jian Qiao had no choice but to apologize: "I'm sorry, I really forgot today, and I came back a bit late, so don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Yu secretly gripped the phone tightly and ignored him.

Jian Qiao directly unplugged the earphones and pulled them off: "Did you hear that?"

"Does it matter if I hear it or not?" Gu Yu asked abruptly.

"...Of course it's important." Although Jian Qiao didn't know what kind of madness this was, he answered him cooperatively, "I said, don't be angry, there is still time for us to go out now."

"Get out," Gu Yu said, "don't dangle in front of my eyes."

Acknowledging his mistake with good intentions, Jian Qiao's journey back was full of calculations, and Gu Yu didn't appreciate it at all.This attitude made him impatient.

"What's wrong with you?" Jian Qiao stood up.

"None of your business, go out." Gu Yu replied.

Jian Qiao was choked by him and had nothing to say.

He held back for a long time before he said, "What's wrong with you? What's your temper with me?"

Gu Yu laughed angrily, threw away the phone and looked up at him, pointed at the door and said, "I'm sick. Get lost."

Jian Qiao frowned: "What did you say?"

Gu Yu was silent.Jian Qiao lifted the quilt and pulled him out.Gu Yu pushed him away forcefully, and when he was in a hurry, he stretched out his leg and kicked him.Jian Qiao said angrily, "Get up!"

After being pulled up abruptly by him, Gu Yu punched him not to be outdone, which was quite hard, after all, he was so angry that he could explode at this moment.Jian Qiao was staggered by him, and was also furious, rushing up and grabbing his wrist.

Gu Yu tried his best to shake him off, but Jian Qiao still held onto him desperately and refused to let go. The two played a game, and neither would let the other go.

"I said," Gu Yu said, "Get lost."

Jian Qiao let go.

Gu Yu fell to the side of the bed all of a sudden, his back hit the cabinet with a loud noise, as if it was about to collapse in an instant.

Jian Qiao turned around, strode out of the room, and slammed the door shut.

Gu Yu sat in the corner, buried his head in his lap, and hugged himself.

pain.

He reached out and rubbed his stomach.

I don't know where I got the strength to fight Jian Qiao just now, but now I just feel that I have no strength in my whole body.Not only was it painful, but it was also extremely cold.

You bitch.

Gu Yu scolded Jian Qiao dozens of times in his heart.

Soon, the sound of the courtyard door closing came from outside the house.

Jian Qiao left.

You idiot, scumbag, just hit the wall when you go out.

Just as Gu Yu was thinking about it, the door opened, and Gu Meiniang led Laifu in majestically, and stopped in front of him.

Gu Yu sighed, his voice was so weak that there was no fluctuation: "Did I ever say that you are not allowed to open the door of my room by yourself?"

Gu Meiniang ignored him, got into his arms and nestled in him, instantly warmed up a lot.Gu Laifu sat down, looked at him with his head tilted, his tail wagging from side to side.

"Laifu," Gu Yu hugged Meiniang and ordered the only remaining dog, "Go get the medicine box."

When Gu Laifu ran out, Gu Yu asked Meiniang in his arms, "Why didn't you help me just now?"

Gu Meiniang licked him.

"Ask you?" Gu Yu patted its head.

Gu Laifu returned to him, tilted his head and wagged his tail, but brought nothing.

Gu Yu sighed softly, remembering that the medicine box was indeed a bit heavy, so he had to give up: "Forget it, I will go by myself later."

The door was opened again.

A figure walks in.

Gu Yu looked up in surprise, glanced at it and lowered his head uninterestedly.

Guan Xiaoli took a cup of hot water, squatted down in front of him with the medicine box in hand, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

He was quite uncomfortable at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence, because it sounded like he was ordering food.

"What medicine do you want?" Guan Xiaoli opened the medicine box and asked impatiently.

Gu Yu pointed and said nothing.

Guan Xiaoli handed him the hot water, squeezed two pills in her hands, and said, "You two are so unique, you quarreled on Valentine's Day."

Gu Yu took the medicine and asked, "How do you know?"

"I just came back and saw Jian Qiao at the gate of the courtyard, walking with wind, with 'Don't mess with me' written on his face." Guan Xiaoli replied.

Gu Yu laughed, raised his head after laughing for a while, finished drinking the hot water, and said, "I want to break up with him."

Guan Xiaoli was silent for a long time before asking: "Why?"

"He hit me." Gu Yu replied, he was a little guilty when he said this, after all, he was the one who hit Jian Qiao.

Guan Xiaoli got up: "I'll call you back, you two should go watch the fireworks."

The author has something to say: I want to change the title, because I suddenly found that "Painting a Boat and Listening to the Rain Sleeping" has nothing to do with this article.

What should I do instead?

Didn't figure it out.

The world is not peaceful recently, I wish Guotai Minan a happy new year.

Go to nm's 2020, drop, restart.
