After the dregs

Chapter 5 Fool Ginger Soup

The rain became more and more unstoppable at night. It was so foggy and smoky that it was hard to see clearly. It was probably going to rain heavily at night.

When he got home, he heated up yesterday's tofu, made a hot soup and stir-fried vegetables. It was almost seven o'clock.When cooking just now, Lu Miao followed the child and was already lying on the sofa with him on his back. Half of you and half of me ate half of the bag of potato chips.Yan Nuo is almost [-]% full now, he shook the potato chip crumbs on his body, raised his eyelids and glanced sneakily at Gu Yuxiu, sitting upright with his short legs dangling in the air.

Lu Miao suddenly asked outside: "Brother, do you know that person just now?"

"How could I recognize such a person?" Gu Yuxiu stood upright under the dim yellow light with his back turned.He calculated that the time was about the same, poured a spoonful of sauce on the heated tofu pot with minced garlic that had been boiled to crispy yellow, and the strong aroma covered up the bitter taste of tofu.

Lu Miao got up and leaned against the kitchen door with an expression of disbelief and asked, "Then why did he ask you to meet tomorrow? He also took your number?"

"Huh?" Yan Nuo, who didn't know why, blinked and looked up at the two adults.Lu Miao patted his round head smoothly: "Good boy, let's go play."

"Because I want to discuss car compensation with him, I will contact the insurance company tomorrow." Gu Yuxiu took out the bowls and chopsticks without saying a word: "Let's eat first."

"Oh." Lu Miao ordered without asking, picked up a bowl and stuffed two mouthfuls indiscriminately, Gu Yuxiu gave him a chopstick of green vegetables, and was busy holding down the restless child and coaxing him in a low voice.

Lu Miao took a sip of the soup contentedly, suddenly thought about the man's appearance just now, and looked at his brother's funny beaming apron, feeling amused in his heart.That's right, it's a world of difference.

07: 30.

After Gu Yuxiu finished washing the dishes, he saw the call from that string of unfamiliar numbers, which was exactly on time.He held down the phone and took a look. The kid on the other side of the sofa was sitting side by side with Lu Miao watching TV.

He quietly went back to the house and closed the door, holding his breath in the dim light, listening to the clear voice on the other end: "I'm downstairs."

"Now?" Gu Yuxiu looked out the window and lowered his voice: "Sorry...it may not be convenient for me."

"Why?" Han Zhibai asked back.

"..." Gu Yuxiu thought for a while and said softly, "My family is upstairs."

"It's okay," Han Zhibai Bolan Weijing said, "I'll wait for you downstairs."

"...Okay." Gu Yuxiu hung up the phone resolutely.He slowly opened the door and said softly, "I'll go downstairs and lie down."

Two people outside were lying on the sofa with rolled up blankets and were busy watching TV, but they didn't raise their heads when they heard the noise.

Lu Miao stared at the TV and said: "Brother, bring a bottle of Coke up later."

"it is good…"

"Dad, potato chips~" Another half of a little furry head poked out from the sofa.

"...Okay..." He nodded, put on some clothes, closed the door and went out.

It was still cold outside, he went downstairs and saw the figure waiting under the tree, he paused inexplicably.

Gu Yuxiu walked very slowly on purpose, the neighborhood was dimly lit, and Han Zhibai's car was deliberately parked at the entrance of the neighborhood downstairs, so he could see it at a glance, yet he walked for five or six minutes.

It was raining, and his vision was a bit blurred. Han Zhibai was tall, and he could only see a smooth and sharp chin under the shadow of the tree, but Gu Yuxiu from the past could recognize it, no matter how many people there were. You can find it at a glance.

Han Zhibai saw him coming over and took a cigarette in his hand from afar, but his eyes that looked like the night never moved away from him.

"I'm sorry about what happened today, I..."

"Get in the car." Han Zhibai took a taxi and opened the door to signal.This person has always been like this, making decisive decisions without any room for reversal, it has always been like this.

"it is good……"

He obediently got into the car.

The heater in the car was fully turned on, and the music was singing something soothingly. Gu Yuxiu sat stiffly in the passenger seat and was absorbed in thought. As for what he was singing, he couldn't quite hear what was being sung, because the two were too close, Gu Yuxiu Yuxiu clearly saw half of the face of the person beside him.

Han Zhibai sat patiently with his eyes downcast, he didn't speak, and his expression was calm, his slender eyelashes fluttered like fluttering butterfly wings.

However, Gu Yuxiu heard the intertwined breathing one after another.

This is just... too bad.he thinks.

About one song was played, and no one spoke.

Gu Yuxiu glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of two dazzling diamond cufflinks on his raised cuff, they were extremely beautiful.

But Gu Yuxiu glanced at it and turned his eyes away from it.The cufflinks were a birthday present he gave Han Zhibai in the past.At that time, he went to several shopping malls to find such a pair, but unfortunately, he hadn't seen this person bring them a few times before.

He couldn't help but look up again, the two very slender clean knuckles were touching the control keys, "What's wrong?" Han Zhibai noticed that his eyes suddenly turned away.

Gu Yuxiu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and handed a tissue to lightly said: "Wipe it, be careful not to catch a cold later." Because it was raining heavily just now, his hair was a little wet.

Beware of colds.

It was the same in the past, when he returned home in the rain at the survey site, after a while Gu Yuxiu hurriedly took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator and threw down two pieces of boiled ginger to bring it up, and he had to coax him to eat it to be at ease.

"Wipe it, and be careful of catching a cold." There seemed to be that smell in the air, which was strange and sweet.

"Why change the number?" Han Zhibai withdrew his fingertips on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at him with those deep pupils and asked.

Gu Yuxiu smiled and turned his head to look at the light outside the window, explaining in a casual tone: "I lost my previous mobile phone. By the way, why... are you here now?"

Han Zhibai stared at his profile, he paused and said: "Just passing by."

Gu Yuxiu said: "I will transfer the compensation on Monday. I'm really sorry today."

Han Zhibai looked at his eyes like deep sea water and couldn't see clearly, finally turned around and said only one word: "Okay."

"Then, I'm leaving." He didn't say goodbye.

Gu Yuxiu got out of the car in a hurry, he closed the car door, as if he was running away without daring to look back, not even daring to look back.

Han Zhibai didn't follow, he sat in the car and answered the phone.

"Third brother?" Yan Lang didn't know what he was busy with, the voice on the other end faltered.

"I found him." Han Zhibai said happily looking out of the glass window.

"Ah?!" The other end wailed as if enlightened: "No wonder you did this today! Third brother... you are a scheming bitch!"

Han Zhibai hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything.

In the rearview mirror, there was a faint smile on the face that was not usually visible.

Gu Yuxiu suffered from insomnia for no reason.

He hid in the kitchen in the middle of the night to cook ginger soup, but Lu Miao, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, was startled.

No one moved the bowl of soup when it was cold, and he went back to the bed and folded his palms in front of his eyes and couldn't fall asleep with his eyes closed.

"Father..." Yan Nuo, who slept too much this morning, was making a fuss.A little group poked out half of its head under the blanket: "Mom?"

The milky and meaty ball smells really good against him, Gu Yuxiu stroked his hair and closed his eyes: "Tomorrow... Mom will be back tomorrow, go to sleep."

"Woo..." The child leaned over and tried to stuff his fist into his mouth, Gu Yuxiu gently wrapped his hands around his and fell into a deep dream.

As for the unbearable past events in the dream.

Don't want to.

The next day, the neighbor moved early in the morning. Lu Miao didn't have to go to work and slept until 10:30 before being woken up. He leaned out half of his body wearing a new headset and asked, "Hey, master! Is this room rented out?"

"Yes." The master said, carrying a big box, "I heard that paying the rent for several years at once is quite generous!"

"Is there still such a stupid thing?" Lu Miao was amused when he heard it, but this dilapidated community may be regarded as a dilapidated building and demolished cleanly, and how many years of rent has been paid? "What's your name, buddy?"

"What's your surname...what's your surname..." The mover finally remembered after a while, "Oh, the surname seems to be Han."
