Eccentricity

That night Gu Qiong wanted to send Chen Ziran home, but Chen Ziran refused.

Gu Qiong said: "It's so dark, I don't worry about you going home alone."

The smile on Chen Ziran's face was mocking and bitter. She glanced at Gu Qiong's beautiful face, and the redness on the right side of her face did not subside.

Compared to the disfigured Chen Ziran, the young and beautiful Gu Qiong was the gangster's first choice.

But Gu Qiong still took Chen Ziran step by step, and sent her to the gate of the courtyard.

After twelve o'clock, the night market in Linyuan was still bustling. After walking through the night market and entering the alley, there seemed to be a barrier to separate the noise, and suddenly it became quiet, without any human voice.

Chen Ziran heard Gu Qiong's footsteps one meter behind him very clearly, and Chen Ziran didn't want to turn back.She was too lazy to look back, Gu Qiong could do whatever she wanted, Chen Ziran couldn't beat her, so she had to wait for her to get bored and walk away by herself.

When walking into the big iron gate of the yard, I happened to meet the landlady, Miss Wu, who came down to throw out the trash, and Chen Ziran greeted her habitually.

"Xiao Chen got off work so late today?" Sister Wu stopped with a smile, and immediately saw Gu Qiong behind her, "Hey, I haven't seen this beauty before, Xiao Chen, is your friend?"

"is not it."

The two spoke in unison, looked at each other after speaking, and then looked away.

Facing Sister Wu's doubts, Chen Yuran didn't want to explain further, but said: "Sister Wu, I don't feel relieved that An An is at home alone. I'll go back first and talk another day."

"Then you go back quickly, it's so late, it's time to wash up and go to bed."

Chen Ziran went back to her small basement.

Chen Ziran didn't have a water heater in his house, so he boiled water with a kettle, and then poured it into a bucket to take a bath. Zhou Suxin thought it was troublesome, so she took Chen Anan back upstairs to her rented house to take a bath, and the two came down again. Snuggle up in bed and do puzzles together.

Chen Anan refused to eat the cake that Gu Qiong sent. Zhou Suxin ate two pieces by herself and was full. The rest of the cake was afraid that it would be spoiled, so Chen Anan asked Zhou Suxin to take it home with her.

"Really don't leave a piece for your mother?"

"Even if you keep my mother, you won't eat it. You should take it all away, so that I won't be greedy when I look at it."

"Eat it if you are greedy. Anyway, it doesn't cost money. If you don't eat it for free, you don't eat it. Your mother disciplines you too strictly."

"Nonsense, my mother is the best for me, you are not allowed to speak ill of my mother."

Just like that, Zhou Suxin took all the remaining snacks back.

Zhou Suxin was almost driven crazy by her curiosity. She really wanted to know why Chen Ziran got involved with Mr. Gu, and there seemed to be a lot of emotional entanglements in it. These two people don't look like the same world people.

I heard from the sisters in the company that Gu always graduated from a prestigious school, but at the age of 24, his resume is already shining, while Chen Ziran has never even studied in college and only has a high school diploma. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Suxin would have been killed I don't believe these two will meet.

As soon as Chen Ziran put down the key, Zhou Suxin came up to her and asked her, "Have you finished chatting with Mr. Gu?"

Chen An'an also jumped out of bed and made supper for Chen Ziran.

Chen Qiran didn't want to mention anything related to Gu Qiong, so he hummed, sat on the chair by the table, and poured a glass of water.

"Why are your eyes so coaxing? Have you ever cried?" Zhou Suxin leaned her head to look at her face, "Could it be that Mr. Gu bullied you?"

Chen Ziran didn't want to talk, and took the opportunity of drinking water to cover his face with a cup, trying to bring the topic to the past.

Zhou Suxin didn't let her go, and asked again: "How did you meet Mr. Gu? Were you friends before? Neighbors? Or..."

Chen Ziran's throat paused, and Zhou Suxin asked with a smirk, "Still a lover?"

Chen Ziran put down his cup, his face was frosty, "Xinxin, thank you for taking care of An'an for me, it's getting late, you should go back and rest soon."

"Ai ai ai...you haven't answered me yet..." Without saying that word, Zhou Suxin had already been driven out of the house by Chen Ziran, and locked the door by the way.

"Mom, are you starving? I made you a bowl of noodles and fried your favorite poached eggs. Come and eat, and I'll boil the bath water for you."

Zhou Suxin could only lie at the door and listen to the conversation between Chen Ziran and Chen Anan inside, trying to get some information she wanted to know.

Chen Ziran doesn't want to tell her, but is he always willing to tell Chen An'an?That's her daughter!

It's a pity that Chen An'an didn't ask Chen Ziran a word about Gu Qiong, Zhou Suxin returned angrily.

Gu Qiong visited Chen Ziran's residence again after a few days, not to find Chen Ziran, but to find her landlord, Sister Wu.

This is the time when Gu Qiong and Sister Wu made an appointment after the last time, and wanted to find out about Chen Yuran's life in the past five years.

Sister Wu lives on the sixth floor, and there is no elevator, so she can only walk up with her legs. The corridors are covered with various small advertisements. A box of wild ginseng and two boxes of high-end bird's nest in her hand were given to Sister Wu, and Sister Wu couldn't close her mouth with a smile when she took them over, "Oh, Miss Gu, you are too polite, you just came here, and you still take such precious things Come here, I'm embarrassed."

The act of accepting the gift was unambiguous at all, pouring tea and preparing refreshments for Gu Qiong graciously.

"Can Ms. Gu play mahjong? I've also made an appointment with a few poker friends, and I'll be there later. If Ms. Gu doesn't dislike our old lady's annoying chatter, why don't you stay and play?"

Before graduating, Gu Qiang had already experienced in the society and had seen countless people. What kind of people have you never met?One look at Sister Wu and you can see the small calculations in her heart, and it's not in vain to inquire about things. Compared with the silent intrigue on the negotiating table, this kind of shrewd philistine Gu Qie of ordinary people is almost ignored, and he smiled softly. He smiled and said, "Okay."

Sitting at Sister Wu's home, feeding her two cards, and letting her win a few rounds, Sister Wu smiled, and Gu Qiong pretended to ask casually: "That woman named Chen Qiran has lived with you for five years, right?" ?”

Gu Qi's gestures are extraordinary, one look can make these middle-aged women who have never seen the big world scared into silence, and the calm and oppressive feeling on their body makes the three aunts present not dare to chat loudly, and the mahjong table is quiet. , now that Gu Qiong opened up the conversation first, the three of them felt a little relieved, the poker table became lively, and they rushed to talk to Gu Qiong.

"Miss Gu is talking about Xiao Chen who lives in the basement with a little girl, right?"

Sister Wu won the money, her brows were brimming with joy, she shuffled the cards and said, "Yes, that's her."

"That girl has lived here for four or five years. When she first came here, she couldn't even find a job. Thanks to Sister Wu for taking her in, why don't you know what's going on now?"

"Isn't it... Hongzhong." The woman in Gu Qiong's family interjected, "I knew her too, she was still a little baby at that time, she didn't look like she had grown up, and when I asked, she was nineteen years old. She said that she couldn’t go on to high school and dropped out of school, so she had to go to work outside. She has such a face, and she doesn’t have a diploma, and she doesn’t know anything. Poor, living in a Datong shop that costs 20 yuan a night, and eating a bowl of noodles worth [-] yuan every day, it is unbearable to watch."

"Wait a minute, I've touched a chicken." Sister Wu followed up the woman's words and continued: "I was recruiting at the time, and Xiao Chen came to me and said she could do it. When I saw her small body, I thought she was sure I couldn't insist on not wanting her for a few days, so she took the initiative to tell me that only 200 yuan a month would be enough, so I agreed to let her try. But I didn't expect her to work for five years, and she was the best at my place. long."

"Well, the little girl has a good heart, is hard-working, and is willing to work hard. It's just that she has a bad life and her face is made like that... Otherwise, I know several hardworking and capable young men here, and I want to introduce her to her."

Later, they talked a lot, and they put together the complete five years of Gu Qiong's absence in front of her.

The gossip and gossip from the neighbors is much smaller than the documents compiled by private investigators, but it is also much more humane, enough to let Gu Qi know every little thing that Chen Ziran experienced during the years when he was absent.

The hardships of finding a job; being thrown stones by mischievous children while sweeping the street and calling her a monster; a salary of 200 yuan a month, in Linyuan, a place where a cup of milk tea costs 30 yuan, I don’t know how to survive .

When Chen Ziran worked for more than 200 hours a day for a salary of [-] yuan, a watch that Gu Qiong casually gave away was worth [-] U.S. dollars.

Gu Qiong finally understood why Chen Ziran hated her so much. If someone treated Gu Qiong like this, Gu Qiong's resentment might be a thousand times more than Chen Ziran's.

After returning home that night, Gu Qiong stayed up all night, and the words on the mahjong table were repeated in his mind.

"The little girl who is less than 20 years old goes out alone and has no relatives."

"I only buy a small handful of green vegetables or a piece of tofu when I buy vegetables, and I can eat it with cooked rice for a day. I give her a few rice dumplings every year during the Chinese New Year, and she is so happy."

"The clothes were washed and torn and I was reluctant to buy new ones. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her all the clothes my daughter bought that she didn't want to wear."

"..."

Their words pieced together a humble and pitiful image of a woman, so vivid and vivid, as if that person was right in front of her eyes, with a face of old scars and thin shoulders, she could live on a handful of vegetables every day, just like a teenager As always, eat a lot of rice.

This woman left a strong mark on Gu Qiong when he was young, so much so that Gu Qiong's memories were all about her later.

The flush on her face when she woke up in his arms for the first time, her suppressed sobs when he bit her throat and called her name, and sending a bouquet of flowers can surprise her, and then she was obediently pressed on the dining table by himself superior……

Or when she was busy around the stove wearing an apron, he quietly circled her from behind.

Such a slender waist, so full of grip, such a white neck, it will turn red when touched.

Strangely, Gu Qiong remembered that he used to think that she was not very good-looking, at most she was a mediocre person, bland and boring.

Now recalling it bit by bit, it was clear that she was a graceful and beautiful girl, and her gentle voice melted my heart.

Why did you think she was cowardly and useless before?This girl is so full of vigor, with firm ideals and resolute eyes. Her soft appearance is wrapped in a strong and brave heart that will not lose to anyone. During the days of hard growth, she never thought of becoming bad, and she never thought about it because of her own situation. Abandoning herself, she consistently moves toward her goal.

Her ideals have never given up because of her own depression, but reality has to force her to give up, and Gu Qiong is one of the executioners who killed her ideals.

Gu Qio covered his eyes with his arms, his throat moved, a drop of water rolled into his hair, and soon disappeared.

She thought of the sparkling look in Chen Ziran's eyes when he told her about his ideals, the brilliance was brighter than any gems handed down from generation to generation.

"I'm going to be a teacher in the future."

"I want to be a primary school teacher."

"I want one child, whether it's a boy or a girl, just one."

"Women and women seem to only give birth to girls, Gu Qiong, our daughter must be like you in the future, tall and beautiful, everyone loves her."

Then Gu Qiong remembered Chen Ziran who covered her face and cried that night. Her eyes were dimmed, and she no longer dared to mention her ideals. Only when she was pushed to the extreme, could she cover her face and sob and say: "I also want to taste what it's like to be liked."

Every time I think of this scene, Gu Qie will feel pain along with her.

Gu Qiong even started to be timid, not daring to disturb Chen Ziran.

What qualifications does she have?After ruining her life, bother her again?

Gu Qiong has more self-confidence and conceit than ordinary people.In the business field, this kind of self-confidence that is always strategizing is very necessary, so that the opponent feels oppressed and subconsciously backs down, so that she can negotiate cooperation at the most suitable price in her heart.But in an intimate relationship with only two people, this kind of self-confidence and arrogance will only push the lover further and further away.

It was only now that Gu Qiong realized that he had never thought about Chen Ziran.

Not for a second.

At the beginning, he didn't think about chasing her or breaking up with her. Even looking back now, he still thinks that as long as he comes back, Chen Ziran will go with her.

Gu Qiong didn't really care about Chen Ziran, she thought that everything she did for Chen Ziran was the only beneficiary, and she was doing it to make her feel at ease.

She left the money, thinking that she could restore Chen Ziran's life, but she never thought about whether Chen Ziran would ask for the money with her temperament, and whether the money would be plundered by her greedy parents if she didn't accept it personally. .

Five years.

For five whole years, Gu Qiong hadn't inquired about Chen Qiran's news, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.She was afraid of hearing the bad news, afraid of knowing that Chen Ziran's life had deviated from the track now, and afraid of her conscience being disturbed.

Coming back now is also because I miss Chen Ziran so much that I can't get rid of Chen Ziran in my dreams every night, so I come back.

"You are such a bastard." Gu Qiong buried his face in the pillow, smiled mockingly, and said to himself, "No wonder Chen Ziran hates you."

"But..." Gu Qiong sighed, and had to face his heart directly, "But I seem to really fall in love with Chen Qiran..."

In the past, it could be said that it was liking and guilt. Ever since I cried in the alley with Chen Ziran in my arms that night, Gu Yi hugged her, who was ugly, smells bad, and unclean. heartbeat.

A heartbeat can't fool anyone, Gu Qiong's heartbeat will only be when he is with Chen Ziran, just like when he hugged Chen Ziran and kissed him in the dark and claustrophobic elevator back then, his heart beat wildly.

It's just that she was too cheap at that time, relying on Chen Ziran's liking, he regarded her as a weed that could be easily picked.Later, I met so many people, but none of them were like her.

……

Crying bitterly to Gu Qiong that night, Chen Ziran fell ill after returning.

Low-grade fever, 37 degrees, dizzy head, not feeling well for several days.

Chen An'an told her not to go to work, and to take a day or two off to rest and recuperate. The body is the first priority.

Chen Ziran pulled away her pale lips, and said, "It's okay, you should work and sweat more when you're sick, and the toxins will be removed after sweating, and the illness will be cured."

Chen Qiran doesn't want to rest, firstly, if she stops talking, if she does less work, she will earn less money, secondly, once she rests, she will have too much extra energy to make her think wildly, reminding her of Gu Qiong.

Chen Qiran didn't want to see her in his mind, he would rather do more work, and when he was exhausted, he could not dream of her.

Chen An'an was afraid that she would not be able to support her body, and he couldn't persuade her to rest. He was anxious day and night, so he had to look up the prescriptions for her body on the Internet, and made them for her in different ways.

Chen Ziran is extremely picky about food, she doesn't eat chicken, duck, fish, boiled eggs, coriander and chopped green onion, and she can hardly find any food that can nourish her body and is her favorite.Chen Anan learned a method of steaming eggs with meatloaf on the Internet. Mince the meat, put onion and ginger water, cooking wine, light soy sauce, etc. to remove the fishy smell, then mix it with starch, and steam it together with the beaten eggs.After a long time of marinating, the smell of minced meat is very small, and Chen An'an can't taste it at all. When I asked Chen Ziran how it tasted, Chen Ziran suppressed the nausea, reluctantly smiled and said it was delicious, Chen Anan sighed , Said that other people like to eat meat and not vegetables, but my mother is the other way around, and she can't touch any meat, which is really worrying.

Chen Ziran smiled and said to her: "You are a big kid."

Chen Ziran knew that this was a heart disease, and it was useless to be anxious, as long as Gu Qiong didn't show up again, it would gradually get better.

But after a week, Chen Ziran still had a fever intermittently.

When I was in the Western Dynasty, it would turn cold soon after the beginning of autumn. Linyuan is located in the south, and it is humid and hot in mid-September. In this season of the year, Chen Ziran always feels unwell for a while, and his bones hurt. People are also drowsy and can't get motivated, especially this year when they are stimulated by Gu Qiyi. The plaster prescribed by the old Chinese doctor doesn't work on the joints, and the bones are cold. There is no way to relieve it, so I can only endure it.

Chen Ziran gets off work at night, wipes off his sweat, and walks dizzily on the street, thinking that he will pick up more wine bottles and cans this month than last month. It is estimated that his income will be two or three hundred yuan more. An An will grow taller this year. Not many, the clothes and pants are a bit short, and I will sell these waste products on the rest day, and buy some new clothes that fit An An.When a little girl loves to be beautiful, she always wears clothes with short sleeves, and she will feel inferior when playing with her peers.Chen Ziran felt guilty for not letting Chen An'an go to school, and wanted to treat her better in other aspects.

As she walked and thought, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hem under her sanitation suit. It was accidentally scratched by a wire when pushing the cart today, and she thought about going home to mend it and make it still wearable.

Chen Ziran hasn't bought a single piece of clothes since she came to Linyuan for so many years, she always picks up other people's old clothes to wear, anyway she is like this, it doesn't matter what she wears, it doesn't look good.

But when she passed by a closed clothing store on the street, she still stopped involuntarily when she saw the beautiful clothes in the window.

What is displayed in the window is a set of summer clothes that have already been matched, a light green one-collar chiffon short-sleeved shirt, and a white lace A-line skirt. Wearing it on a plastic model with a golden ratio figure, it looks elegant and fresh. There is also a beige handbag with a metal chain straddling the model's shoulders. Chen Ziran likes the simple shape.

She couldn't help but compare through the glass.

The plastic model inside was 1.7 meters tall, and Chen Ziran was not tall enough, so he had to stand on tiptoe to make the clothes look like they were just on her in the reflection of the glass.

Which girl does not love beauty?Chen Yuran has never worn such a beautiful dress, and she never wore it when she was the most beautiful girl, and now she deals with garbage dumps every day, and she doesn't know how to wear it, wasting her clothes for nothing.

She turned left and right, and it was a good fit.

But she suddenly looked up, and saw her own face in the reflective glass.

The movement of turning around became stiff, Chen Ziran put down her tiptoes in shame, and ran away like a thief.

For a second, there was only one sentence in Chen Yuran's mind, ugly people do more tricks.

There is no better way to describe her.

I don't even look at what I look like, whether I deserve to wear such a beautiful skirt.

She lowered her head and ran away in a hurry as if afraid of being discovered, not noticing that in the corner of the alley behind her, Gu Qi's gaze had been following her for a long time.

After Chen Ziran left, Gu Qiong walked to the door of the clothing store, stood in front of the window, and also looked at the dress that Chen Ziran liked.

Chen Yuran has a good eye, or the owner of the clothing store is very good at matching. This outfit really looks good on the model. The skirt of the A-line group has a circle of small lace curled up, which is a bit playful.

The chiffon shirt on the top is quite short, just covering the waist, and the waistline can be seen faintly when the wind blows.

Gu Qiong recalled that Chen Ziran's waist was so thin that she could hold it with one hand. This dress must look good on her.

So the next day, Gu Qiong bought that dress and gave it to Chen Qiran.

When Gu Qiong walked into the store, the proprietress was very surprised. She could tell at a glance that Gu Qiong was wearing expensive clothes. People dressed like this would only visit the top luxury counters in big shopping malls even if they went shopping. Hang around in her small shop where the average price of clothes is only 300.

Sure enough, Gu Qiong went straight to the cashier, smiled and said to the proprietress: "Hello, the model at your door is wearing it, please help me get the same set, size S, thank you."

With a polite and distant attitude, and a habitual tone of noncommittal, the proprietress quickly agreed, unconsciously respecting her.

Gu Qiong knocked on the door of Chen Ziran's house and gave her the suit she liked, thinking that she would be happy, just like giving her flowers himself in the past.

Chen Ziran only glanced at the contents of the bag, then gritted his teeth and threw the bag over Gu Qiong's head.

"get out."

Chen Ziran thought of it the moment she saw the color matching in the bag. Gu Qiong hadn't left these days. She stared at Chen Ziran in the dark and saw all her embarrassment clearly. That's why she can humiliate her so accurately now. she.
