Eccentricity

Chapter 40: One Heart Feeds the Dog

Gu Qiong lowered her head, looking at the person squatting at her feet.

She buried her head so deep that it was almost buried in her neck, so she couldn't see her face, only her sweat-soaked hair was casually tied behind her head, and the sweat on her temples was condensed on her hair. Sili reflected a bit of broken light against the dim street lamps. She was wearing a fluorescent-colored overalls with "environmental protection" written in large characters. The hand was also black and dirty, with thick knuckles and rough folds like bark extending all the way to the fingers.

She is only in her twenties this year.

How would one describe the hands of a young girl in her early twenties?

It refers to soft bark, skin like creamy fat, fresh and tender like shallots, and juicy like lotus root joints.

None of these beautiful words and sentences full of imagery can match Chen Qiran's hand.

It was a very ugly hand, apart from the rough skin and abrupt joints, there were also twisted and criss-crossed veins on the back of the hand.

This ugly hand picked up the aluminum can that had fallen at Gu Qiong's feet, and when he took it back, his entire wrist trembled slightly.

Gu Qiong looked at this hand under the spotlight of the street lamp, and the fair and beautiful hand behind his back clenched into a fist, not daring to move a step.

She was scared, afraid to see such a Chen Qiran.

In the past five years, she has thought about countless times, whether she can see Chen Ziran again, and in what scene and in what way she will meet Chen Ziran.

None of the current situation is the same as in her fantasy.

Gu Qiong's imagination is very good, she left enough money for Chen Ziran, and she also thoughtfully considered the family background for Chen Ziran - Chen Ziran's mother is extremely bad, and her father always has some sincerity towards her, I have come to take care of Chen Ziran many times, Gu Qiong handed over the money to him, he will find a reason for Chen Ziran to accept, then undergo surgery, go to university, and the ruined track of life will be reconnected, and everything will be as usual.

Then under what circumstances would Gu Qiong meet her?

At school, of course.

Chen Ziran was either still studying or had already become a teacher. On a sunny day, he found the school where she was working, and was told that she was teaching the children. On the podium, she was covered with a gentle glow. She held the textbook and led the children to endorse. She read a sentence, and the children's immature voices followed.Gu Qiong stood behind a window that she couldn't easily detect, silently listening to her recite ancient poems word by word.When the bell rang for the end of morning reading, she walked in from the classroom with a book in her arms. Because she was thinking about the teaching plan for the next class, she didn't pay attention to the way, and accidentally bumped into Gu Qiong's arms. Instead, she leaned back and was caught Gu Qiong hugged his waist and moved forward, bringing it into his arms.Then she looked up, her eyes widened in surprise, and said, "How could it be you?"

Gu Qiong smiled, complacent and considerate, brushed away the hair on her forehead, and said softly: "I want to come back and be with you again."

How fulfilling.

Or maybe Chen Ziran still hated Gu Qiong in his heart, and Gu Qiong tried his best to treat her well, and Chen Ziran was finally moved and willing to trust her again and stay with her for life.

After Gu Yi made up his mind to come back to Chen Ziran, he never doubted that they would be together again.

Only today, only now, all her beautiful imaginations were shattered before her eyes, and what she saw was a completely different Chen Ziran from what she had imagined, and she began to waver.

She didn't even dare to squat down, raised Chen Ziran's face, and took a good look at her, so she stood there like a stake, letting Chen Ziran pick up the soda can at her feet and throw it back into the broken box. In the snakeskin bag, I put the snakeskin bag on my shoulder again, turned around, and walked forward with my waist bent.

This is not the back view of Chen Ziran in Gu Qiong's memory.

Chen Ziran has the most beautiful neck and the straightest spine. Her back will never bend, even if she is wronged and blamed, she will never bend her spine.

What happened to her?Why is her spine bent so low?Like a dying old man?

She obviously...

She was clearly in her early twenties.

Gu Qie's chest was full of dull pain, spreading all over the body, and finally even moving her fingers felt heart-piercing. She looked at Chen Ziran's back, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Chen Ziran!"

Chen Ziran's footsteps stopped for a while, and she put the sack on her back against her shoulders, and continued to walk forward.

Gu Qiong couldn't stand it any longer, and ran like Chen Ziran.

She originally wanted to hug Chen Ziran from behind, but seeing the dirty sack on her back and smelling her smell, she held back again, only raised her arm, and grabbed Chen Ziran's right wrist.

Unable to control her strength, Chen Ziran's right hand was injured, and she couldn't bear this blow. She frowned deeply and shook her arm where she couldn't see.

Did not shake off.

The strength she can use on her right arm is less than half of that of ordinary people, how can she break free from the shackles of Gu Qiong's iron tongs.

Chen Ziran bit her tongue hard, forcing back the damp heat in her eyes.

What else is she here for?What are you trying to lie to me again?

Chen Qiran has only been with her for one year, but it takes five years to forget her. The nightmares when she was alone in the past were haunted, and she could see her mocking face against the empty wall. Countless late nights of being woken up by pain, she couldn't flow. End of tears.

Chen Ziran kept encouraging herself, fearing that she would not be able to hold on.

It wasn't until An An came along that life got a little easier.

Growing up with An'an, teaching her to write and read, and hearing her cuddle up in her arms and call her mother, Chen Ziran finally felt comforted, and the hole in his heart that was dug by Gu Qiong was gradually filled up, no longer leaking. Well, until this year, she even hoped that life would get better and better, but Gu Qiong, what is she doing here again?

With his left hand holding the sack, Chen Ziran stretched out two fingers, tilted his head, and let his fingers touch his face.

She didn't dare to think about anything else.

During the most beautiful years of her life, Gu Qi had been using her, not to mention this face now.

"Chen Qiran." Gu Qiong let go of his strength a little, his lips trembled, and his voice was a little choked up, "How did you become like this?"

It sounds really passionate, and if an unsuspecting passer-by passes by, he must be moved and cry.

Hearing her sincerity, Chen Ziran felt scared, and he was destined to have another nightmare tonight, so he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

"You..." Chen Ziran just uttered a syllable, and his throat trembled uncontrollably. He pinched his fingers and finally suppressed the surging fear in his heart, and pretended to be calm, "You recognize the wrong person. My name is not Chen Ziran .”

She tried so hard to restrain herself, Gu Qiong stood behind her, still hearing the trembling in her voice.

Gu Qiong's voice suddenly became dry, and the smile on his face became bitter, "You must have had a hard time these five years."

Her fingertips touched Chen Ziran's wrist.

The fingers are thick, but the wrist is so thin, there is only a layer of skin and bones, and it will be broken with a light pinch.

"Let go." Chen Ziran squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "If you don't let go, I'll call someone."

"Aran, I just want to say one thing, you can decide whether to leave after listening to me, okay?" Gu Qiong's voice was filled with pleading.

Chen Ziran didn't want to make things big.

The two women, Gu Qiong is still so bright and charming, even if someone comes, they will not believe that it is Gu Qiong pestering her, it will only increase the laughingstock.

Gu Qiong, Chen Ziran knows best, but she always does not give up until she achieves her goal, and she doesn't care whether she sacrifices others. Chen Ziran herself is a living example.

Chen Ziran lowered his head resignedly, closed his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Speak."

She listened to Gu Qiong calling her name correctly, with deep affection, just like before.

In the past, when Gu Qiong was happy, she would sing with her arms around Chen Ziran. Those lyrics that you love me and I love you, uttered from her voice, are so gentle, so gentle that they can drown people, it always makes Chen Ziran flush with shame , full of joy, covered her face and dared not look at her.

She would half-force Chen Ziran to look up, look at each other, then look into Chen Ziran's eyes affectionately, and say, "You are such a treasure."

For countless nights, Chen Ziran's nightmares started and ended with these words.

Chen Ziran turned his back, and the fingers hanging by his side trembled fiercely, pulling the nerve connected to the heart, and the heart ached along with it.

She bent over in pain.

Chen Ziran lowered his head and looked at himself.

She exuded an indescribable stench all over her body. It was a rotten smell that could not be washed away from her long-term association with garbage.

Gu Qiong stood beside her glamorously, with black hair and red lips, beautiful, bright, and noble, and his clothes were straight, without a single crease, and even the buttons on the cuffs of his shirt were embroidered with luxurious and low-key platinum. The orange-yellow fluorescent sanitation suit is out of place.Chen Ziran's neck was deeply buried in his chest, bent at a right angle that was about to break, and he couldn't ignore the sharpness in Gu Qiong's sight, which made his back ache.

"I……"

Chen Ziran gave the opportunity, but Gu Wei didn't know where to start. He hesitated for a long time, and when Chen Ziran raised her leg to leave, she hurriedly blurted out: "I'm not with Chen Ziying! I like you !"

The alley in the middle of the night suddenly became quiet.

A gust of cool wind blew by, and what was mixed in the air was the rotten smell of the nearby garbage dump, which was disgusting.

This is really not a place for confessing your true feelings.

After Gu Qi finished saying this, he retreated a little in his heart, and glanced at Chen Ziran.

Chen Ziran still turned his back to her, carrying a sack of waste products on his back.

As if time stood still, the two remained motionless.

After a long time, there was a sneer in the silent air.

Very light, if Gu Qiong was not very close to Chen Ziran, he would have almost missed it.

Chen Yuran's left wrist was slowly and little by little pulled away from Gu Qiong's already weak palm, her lips moved very slightly, and the words and sentences she spit out were softer than the laughter just now, afraid of being alarmed The night that has already fallen asleep.

She didn't even look at Gu Qiong, she mocked herself and dropped a few words: "Stop joking."

Her thin, crooked figure faded away in the darkness.

Gu Qiong maintained the posture of being thrown away by her, watching her leave helplessly, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, unable to catch up.

The mixed tone in Chen Ziran's words was too miserable.

It was so miserable that Gu Qiong couldn't bear to chase after him.

Gu Qiong has always been self-confident. She has indeed done something to hurt Chen Ziran, but she never thinks that she is irreparable.

Chen Ziran's car accident was not caused by her, Gu Qiong was the one who saved her from the car accident, Chen Ziran had a delicate mind, and she would remember all the good things others did to her for the rest of her life, so even when Gu Qiong was young and frivolous, she was indeed a little bit small. Mistakes, according to Chen Ziran's temperament, should also be forgiven.

She thinks that Chen Ziran's life is on the right track, and she has been indulging in her thoughts for her for five years, and has never inquired about Chen Ziran's news.

So reality gave her a slap in the face.

The warm Chen Ziran in his memory would of course forgive her, but Chen Ziran, who had been tortured by reality, had become so unrecognizable to Gu Qiong.

……

Chen Ziran came back in embarrassment with a broken sack on his back, stood at the door of the house, wiped away the dizziness in his eyes, blinked desperately, and when he blinked dry, he pushed open the door as if nothing had happened.

In the small house in the basement, Zhou Suxin and Chen An'an were chatting and laughing as they guessed the trick, and they turned their heads when they heard the movement at the door.

Zhou Suxin was very careless, and when she saw Chen Ziran coming in, she let out a long sigh of relief, "My dear Ranran, you are back, your little girl is too smart, if she doesn't come here, she will wipe out all the stuff in my stomach , playing with her is more tiring than going to work, I'm exhausted."

"Ah." Chen Ziran replied absent-mindedly, went to the table and poured himself a large glass of water, and poured it down with his head raised.

Chen Anan was careful, and found that Chen Ziran was in a bad mood, pushed Zhou Suxin, and said, "Okay, Aunt Xinxin, now my mother is back, you should go back to rest early, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"After what you said, I'm really sleepy." Zhou Suxin covered her mouth and yawned, "Then I'll go first, and I'll come play with you tomorrow, and you and your mother should go to bed early."

When Zhou Suxin went upstairs, she yawned a few more times. She casually glanced at the window of the stairwell on the second floor, and saw a silhouette passing by in the dark alley, so frightened that she lost her drowsiness.

This... isn't this Mr. Gu whom she just met during the day?How did she appear here?

Zhou Suxin rubbed her eyes and looked again, the figure in the alley had disappeared.

Probably because he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night, Mr. Gu impressed him too much during the day, so he lost his mind and had hallucinations.

Zhou Suxin didn't care, and continued to go upstairs to her home.

After Zhou Suxin left, Chen Anan mixed the bath water for Chen Ziran, arranged her pajamas and put them at the bathroom door, and pushed her in to take a bath.

After Chen Ziran washed off a little tiredness and came out of the bathroom wearing half-new cotton pajamas, Chen Anan asked her: "Mom, did you encounter any trouble today?"

Chen Ziran's expression cracked slightly, but he quickly recovered, and smiled nonchalantly, "No, why did An An ask that?"

"Don't try to lie to me. I'm your daughter. If others can't see it, how can I not see it? When you first entered the door, your eyes were red, and you could see that you just cried. Mom, who made you cry? Is your captain looking for an excuse to deduct your salary?"

"There is no such thing, don't guess." Chen Ziran turned off the light, and lay down with her arms around Chen An'an, "Go to sleep, when you are growing up, you must sleep enough for nine hours a day."

Chen Ziran didn't want to mention more, so Chen An'an stopped asking.She understands her mother's personality, and she won't pour out a single word if she doesn't want to say it.

Hearing that Chen An'an's breathing in his arms gradually stabilized, Chen Ziran put her to the other side of the bed, lying alone, and really couldn't fall asleep.

She was scared.

She will no longer believe Gu Qiong's nonsense. Gu Qiong must have a purpose in coming to her.

For what purpose?Chen Ziran couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that Gu Qiang and Chen Ziying should have lived together. Chen Ziran hasn't contacted any of them in the past five years. Why did Gu Qiong find himself again?And where did Chen Ziying go?

Could it be that Chen Ziying and Gu Qiong were together and separated again, and Gu Qiong came back to look for him this time in order to lure Chen Ziying out?

Although this reason was far-fetched, Chen Ziran really couldn't think of anything else.

That night, Chen Ziran, who hadn't thought of Gu Qiong for a long time, started to have nightmares again, and he really fell asleep for no more than two hours, and when he woke up, his head was groggy.

Chen An'an was very worried about her, "Mom, why do you look so ugly, do you have a fever? Why don't you take a rest at home today, and I'll help you call your captain to ask for leave."

"No need, more than 200 yuan will be deducted for missing a day's work. An'an, you are at home, and you are not allowed to open the door to strangers. Do you understand? Mom has gone to work, and I will make delicious food for you when I come back at night."

After Chen Ziran left, Chen An'an slept for a few more hours, got up at eight o'clock, brushed his teeth and washed his face, ate a bowl of noodles, and after washing the bowl, he took out a set of math test papers to do the questions. At 09:30, someone knocked on the door.

She remembered what Chen Yuran said, and without opening the door, she asked loudly at the door: "Who is it?"

"Excuse me, is this Chen Ziran's residence?"

A woman's voice was very nice. Apart from Chen An's feeling that her mother's voice was nice when she hugged her and humming, it was the first time that Chen An felt that a strange woman's voice was nice.

"My mother went to work, who are you?" Facing the beautiful female voice, Chen An'an subconsciously let go of his vigilance.

Mother?

Gu Qiong frowned, his heart sank.

Chen Ziran actually has a child?With whom?

When she thought of Chen Ziran having a baby with a man, her heart ached, but in order not to leave a bad impression on Chen Ziran's daughter, she held back and said, "I'm your mother's friend, my surname is Gu."

"Nonsense, my mother has never had a friend named Gu. You should leave quickly. My mother is not at home. If you don't leave, I will call the police."

"Well, I'll come back after your mother comes back."

Gu Qiong walked out of the dark and damp basement, and when he passed the sewer where a few cement bricks had been pried open, he saw a huge mouse running through the dark mud.

Her frown deepened.

Chen Ziran lived in such a harsh environment for five years.

When Gu Qiong walked out of the basement, he thought that he had to take her out of here immediately and find a better place to live. Even if she had married now, her husband must be a worthless man who couldn't even take care of his wife and daughter. He lived in the damp and cold basement. suffer.

Chen Ziran only fell in love with him because he was blind.

……

As usual, Chen Ziran took a broom and swept the alleyway, not letting go of every corner, making sure that there was no rubbish on the ground.

She didn't sleep well, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't use her right hand. She stopped halfway through the sweep, leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and suddenly felt like a light was on her back. Just collided.

Chen Ziran's eyes suddenly turned black, and his figure shook a few times.

"Aran!" Gu Qiong stepped forward with his pupils narrowed, wanting to help Chen Xiaoran.

Chen Ziran leaned against the wall, pressed his forehead and shouted: "Don't come here!"

Gu Qiong paused, looking nervous.

Chen Ziran suffers from hypoglycemia, usually he is fine after breakfast, but today it was because he didn't sleep well and his appetite was poor, so he only drank two mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast.When going out, Chen An'an was afraid that she would be hungry, so she stuffed a brown sugar bag in her pocket. It was already cold, and Chen Ziran took it out of her pocket, took two quick bites, swallowed dryly, and wrapped up the rest , put it back in your pocket.

After a few minutes of slowing down, her eyes were not dazzled, she held the broom and stood up straight.

Gu Qi asked her anxiously and tentatively: "Do you often feel dizzy?"

Chen Ziran raised his eyes and saw the pain in her eyes.

Chen Ziran snorted, "Thank you for your kindness, it has nothing to do with you."

After all, continue to sweep the street.

She thought that Gu Qiong would leave, but she swept in front, and Gu Qiong followed her unhurriedly.Chen Ziran tried hard to ignore Gu Qiong, but her eyes were full of heat, which made Chen Ziran feel uncomfortable. Chen Ziran patiently swept the street and pushed the tricycle loaded with garbage to the garbage station. Gu Qiong followed her to the garbage station , Chen Ziran went home, and Gu Qiong followed her to the door of the house.

Chen Qiran finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and growled at Gu Qiong: "Gu Qiong, what do you want?"

Such a fierce tone made Gu Qiong slightly startled.

Is this still Chen Qiran?Chen Ziran, who is as docile as a kitten?How could she show such a ferocious expression, the scar on her face became more and more ferocious.

"I..." Gu Qiang lost his composure, and seemed to be at a loss like a child, "I just want to ask you, how have you been these past few years..."

Before the words fell, Gu Qi had already regretted it.

How is it possible to have a good time?You can tell by Chen Qiran's appearance.

But Chen Ziran smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am doing well and I don't want to be disturbed by others. Miss Gu, please go."

"Why didn't you go for plastic surgery?"

Chen Ziran looked at her like a fool, and didn't even want to answer this time.

Miss Jiao, who is really otherworldly, thinks that plastic surgery is shopping for vegetables, so she does it casually.

If this is the case, there will not be so many people in the world who are willing to live their lives with a horrible face.

Gu Qiong said: "Lonely, give me a chance, I want to make it up to you."

It was the first time that Chen Ziran looked at her straight after the reunion. He looked at her carefully, seeing her long black hair like clouds and waterfalls, seeing her sharp eyebrows and deep eye sockets as in memory. There is no mercy at all.

Chen Ziran seemed to know why Gu Qiong came to him.

She wants to use her charity to calm down her inner guilt.She always has only herself in her heart, otherwise why would she make Chen Ziran think of the sad past over and over again under the banner of compensation?

Seeing her earnest appearance, Chen Ziran only thought it was funny.

In the past, I could still think that although Gu Qiang was not sincere to me, there were good times. I never felt that anyone owed me anything. She gave what she paid willingly back then. Enough.

At this moment, Chen Ziran deeply regretted it.The sincerity back then was that I fed the dog myself.

Anyone can pity Chen Qiran, but Gu Qiong is not qualified.
