Eccentricity

Chapter 61 A Better Self

Chen Ziran clearly remembered what happened last night.

She cried in Gu Qiong's arms, complaining about her grievances.

Waking up with a splitting headache, followed by drunken memories of mountains and tsunamis.

If it was possible, Chen Qiran would rather drink the fragments and not remember anything, than he was so awkward on the bed now, not knowing what posture he should use to face Gu Qiong.

The carrying capacity of the human heart is limited, too many grievances are held in the heart, and sooner or later it will explode. Although Chen Ziran felt ashamed when he made a slip of the tongue after drinking, at least he poured out some of the bitterness, and felt relieved after crying.

Although she doesn't want to have anything to do with Gu Qiong anymore, in fact, she knows very well in her heart that she can only pour out her bitterness to Gu Qiong, otherwise who should she confide in?There is no one around Chen Ziran who can listen to her, Chen An'an is too young.

At the beginning of April, the rainy season in Linyuan officially arrived. The drizzle has been intermittent since before Qingming, and the ground is always wet. Spring rain is as expensive as oil. For all things that need to grow on rainwater, it has come to Chen Ziran , the spring rain is not a gift, but a torture.

The soreness in the joints was lingering and long-lasting. Fortunately, the coldest March in Linyuan has passed, and the gradual warming of the climate has reduced the pain a bit, which is enough for Chen Ziran to bear.

Today is the first day of the Ching Ming holiday, and Chen Ziran's cram school and Chen An'an's school are both closed, so Chen Ziran chose to move on this day.

Chen Ziran was so drunk that she didn't realize when Chen Anan woke up. When she woke up, Chen Anan was no longer in the room. When she went downstairs, she saw Chen Anan holding an old book and reading it. One of the few books I brought with me when I moved out.

Gu Qiong hugged the laptop, sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, and typed the keyboard, with a concentrated expression, it seemed that he was working.On the bridge of her nose is a pair of titanium alloy thin-rim glasses, and her long hair hangs over her shoulders like a cloud, and the top of her hair exudes a luster of silk texture, which makes it easy to think of the silk pajamas she deliberately wore last night .

Chen Ziran's face was inexplicably hot, and he walked down the stairs softly, but Gu Qiong's hearing was very good, the eyelashes behind the glasses trembled, and he turned his head as if in a telepathic connection, just in time to meet Chen Ziran on the steps.

"Are you awake?" Gu Qiong smiled slightly, closed the computer in his hand, put it aside, stretched his waist and straightened up, "It's just right, breakfast is heating up in the pot, and there is your favorite millet porridge." As he spoke, he stepped on the cotton mop and walked into the kitchen to serve porridge for Chen Ziran, forgetting to take off the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Gu Qiong who put on glasses gave Chen Ziran the illusion that she was not the same person. Chen Ziran felt that something had changed in her, and she couldn't tell the specific details. It seemed that her aura had changed and became restrained. It's really hard to make a judgment on something mysterious, so Chen Ziran can only guess that Gu Qiong's glasses make her look a little more gentle and bookish.

Gu Qiong's nose is straight and straight, which is very suitable for wearing this kind of thin-rimmed metal-rimmed glasses. Chen Yuran has never seen her wearing glasses before, and he was curious for a while, so he couldn't help asking: "Are you short-sighted?"

"Huh?" Gu Qi was slightly startled, and then remembered that he hadn't taken off his glasses. He lowered his head with a smile, pinched the legs of the glasses with two slender fingers, turned his head slightly, took off the glasses, and folded them up. He hung it on his collar, put the millet porridge for Chen Yuran on the table, and explained: "No, it's anti-blue light, and it's been too long in front of the computer. If you don't take precautions, you will be really short-sighted in the future." , I have to wear glasses for a long time, how ugly it is."

"Come and eat." She brought another plate of variegated buns with various fillings and two appetizers, and greeted Chen Ziran.

Gu Qiong is impeccable from appearance to temperament, although Chen Ziran beats her up because of her nervousness, under normal circumstances, she looks almost perfect from the outside, with a good background and family education, even when she is serving dishes for Chen Ziran. Inadvertently exuding a bit of nobility and elegance, the fingers dragged the bone china plate, and the rolled-up sleeves revealed smooth wrist bones for chatting.

Chen Ziran walked over and said softly, "You don't look ugly with glasses."

Gu Qiong smiled and remained silent.

If it was before, she would raise the corners of her mouth and flirt frivolously: "Oh? Then why don't you accept me?"

Now I can't say this, after I have a deeper understanding of Chen Ziran's suffering.

Gu Qiong didn't even have the heart to disturb her, knowing that he was watching by her side, she would have no taste for breakfast, so she went back to the living room and turned on the computer wisely. Enter the screen off state.

There is no sugar in the millet porridge, but honey with a warmer taste is added, which does not cover the fragrance of the millet, but also highlights the sweetness of the rice grain itself, which tastes better than the one with sugar.

Chen Ziran thought it was Chen An'an who boiled it, no accident, after eating a bowl, even the cold joints became much warmer.

After breakfast and cleaning the kitchen and dining room, Chen Ziran called Chen Anan and told her to go upstairs to pack her luggage, they should move out.

Gu Qiong thumped when he heard the word "move away", the notebook slipped from his lap, and with a bang, he hurriedly picked it up with a dent in the corner. Fortunately, it was of high quality and the screen could still light up tenaciously, so that it would not Gu Qiong's hard work all morning was in vain.

The two of them didn't mention what they had done, Gu Qiong just thought that Chen Ziran was broken and didn't remember, and Chen Ziran also pretended that nothing happened, and they lived in peace.

Chen Yuran and Chen Anan's things were pitifully small, they came with a suitcase and left with a suitcase.

She has never regarded this place as her own home, she does not add things if she can, and she comes and goes to clean up.

Gu Qiong remembered that she was the same back then. When she was driven away by him, she only brought a suitcase and packed everything in it. It was clean, as if she had never lived in that house before.

How many grievances did you have to suffer to develop such a self-consciousness that is almost paranoid?Gu Qiong didn't dare to think about it, she only knew that a little habit that Chen Ziran unintentionally revealed could make her feel bad.

"Miss Gu, thank you for taking care of me these six months." Chen Ziran pushed the suitcase to the door and bowed to Gu Qiong.

"I'll see you off." Gu Qiong stood up.

"No need, An'an and I can go out and take a ride." Chen Ziran nodded slightly to her again, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, Miss Gu, I hope we will live our lives separately in the future and never see each other again."

With the sound of closing the door, the room suddenly became empty and deserted.

Gu Qiong fell on the sofa as if his whole body collapsed, sniffing vigorously with his nose, looking for the scent that Chen Lingran had left behind in the air.

No.

Chen Yuran's ability to adapt is too strong, this person is transparent, without any special smell, she will become whatever the surrounding environment is, and blend in without leaving a trace, so much so that Gu Qiong wants to capture her There is no way to trace.

Gu Qiong rested her head on the sofa, stared blankly at the chandelier, and thought foolishly that the relationship between her and Chen Ziran was over.

In the days to come, she will no longer have Chen Yuran, and she will not even dare to meet him, because she is not worthy.

Back then, he pushed her away with his own hands and said cruel words that pierced her heart, so now he doesn't deserve to bother her anymore.

It's not worthy to sneak a glance when you think about it.

How long is the future? 20 years, 30 years, or 50 years?

Gu Qiong has to endure the life without Chen Qiran for at least 50 years.

She is only 25 this year.

Gu Qiong suddenly felt that human life span is too long, why is it so long? Eighty or even a hundred years old is simply meaningless.

……

After Chen Ziran moved his things to his new residence, he was in a happy mood.

This house is much better than the basement she used to live in. It has a north-south connection and plenty of light. After yesterday's repairs, it is clean and bright. It is Chen Ziran's ideal home.

Chen Anan was like a puppy on a loose leash, running back and forth in the living room, bedroom, and balcony, having fun all over the room, and finally sat down on the sofa, "I don't know how long we can live in such a beautiful house."

Someone else's is always someone else's, and it can only be a temporary foothold forever. I am afraid that I will be kicked out by the landlord one day.

Chen An'an squeezed her fists and said, "Mom, I must make more money in the future and buy a house of our own, so that we will no longer be afraid of being kicked out."

"Okay, I'm waiting for the day when I live in Ann's beautiful big house."

The housewarming is worth celebrating. There is a vegetable market nearby. Chen Ziran took An An around the vegetable market, bought a lot of delicious food, and weighed half a catty of shrimp for An An. The mother and daughter each had a glass of Coke, facing a large Table dishes, cheers in the cozy small living room.

"It will get better and better in the future!" Chen Ziran said with a smile.

"That must be!" Chen An'an agreed.

When the lights came on and there were lights outside, it made Chen Ziran feel for the first time that this is really a city full of fireworks.

When she first came here, she lived in the basement, and she couldn't see the lights lit in the windows of the building in the dark. Later, she lived in Gu Qiong's house, a single family, facing only the sea. It was beautiful during the day, but dark at night. Nothing to see, no popularity, very deserted.

Fireworks in the world are the most ordinary and most beautiful scenery, which makes people feel warm. Although there are twists and turns along the way, Chen Ziran has been on the whole, just as Gan Ying said to her, and it is getting better and better.

Sure enough, Gu Qiong did not bother again as promised, and Chen Ziran occasionally saw her shadow in his mind during the intense and fulfilling study, work and life, and he felt a little more grateful to her in his heart.

With Gu Qiong's strength, if she really didn't let Chen Ziran's words go, she couldn't stand it. She was grateful to Gu Qiong's men for letting her live.

Liang Ziying didn't know where she got the news about Chen Ziran's move, but she came here a few times. Chen Ziran thought she would be like Gu Qiong's previous stalker, but she was measured and didn't come frequently. And every time I come there is a reason, for example, on a business trip to Southeast Asia, I brought a few moisturizers suitable for children, which were gifts for An An, and of course Chen Ziran declined them all.

Liang Ziying only appeared once in two or three months, testing the patience of Chen Ziran and Chen Anan, Chen Ziran would not give up, and she was not angry and anxious, and she was still smiling when she came next time, as if six years were but a snap of the fingers , their sisters are still the same as before.

Because they came infrequently, they did not have any substantial impact on Chen Ziran's life.

In September, Chen An'an entered the sixth grade of primary school, and Chen Ziran's adult college entrance examination registration also began.

Chen An'an is already an older child. Not only did she take care of herself, but she also took on the additional task of taking care of Chen Ziran's daily life. Knowing that Chen Ziran was preparing for the exam day and night, her body would definitely not be able to bear it. Have enough physical strength to cope with heavy study and work.

The burden of the family is all on Chen Anan, a child. Chen Yuran feels sorry for her. She has mentioned several times to tell Chen Anan not to prepare supper for her, and go to bed first. Chen Anan is serious: "My mother used to take care of me, but now It is a critical moment in my mother's life, of course I have to take care of my mother."

Chen Ziran was moved to tears, thinking that the child was not raised in vain, and that he really grew up and became sensible.

It was also thanks to Chen An'an's logistical support in place, otherwise Chen Ziran might have passed out halfway through writing the paper on the day of the exam.

Take the exam in October and announce the results in November.

When Chen Ziran entered the admission ticket number to check the results, his hands were shaking, and Chen Anan sat next to her nervously. The moment the mother and daughter saw the results, they jumped up for joy. Several subjects were close to full marks. This score, let alone Apply to Linyuan Normal University, even apply to Linyuan University!

When the score line and admission results were announced in December, it was really good. Chen Ziran got a high score and was admitted to the junior college of Lin Normal University.

The day she received the admission notice happened to be Chen Ziran's birthday, and the admission notice was the best birthday present she ever received.

She is 25 years old this year. This is an age that is neither too early nor too late. The best age is that she was too young in the early years and was still at the end of puberty, unable to get rid of the confusion about the future. She was too mature in the later years. A foregone conclusion, little chance of change. 25 years old is just right, neither young nor old, freed from the shackles of the past, but still has the blood in his heart, and can still fight for his ideals.

Chen Ziran re-entered the classroom at the age of 25 and regained her goal of being a teacher.

Chen Ziran recalled her birthday wishes in the first 24 years, bumpy and tortuous, every time God seemed to be joking with her, but at the age of 25, her wishes seemed to come true.

There is a family, a job, and a school, and it is returning to the life of ordinary people.

After finishing the part-time customer service work and turning off the lights and blowing out the candles with Chen An'an, Chen Ziran made a wish of being 25 years old.

I hope to be a good teacher and a better version of myself.

After blowing out all the candles, Chen Yuran received an unfamiliar text message on his mobile phone, just four words: "Happy birthday."

She froze for a moment, vaguely guessing who sent it.

As long as Gu Qiong doesn't show up, Chen Ziran's resentment towards her will be far away, and now it has almost dissipated in the wind, together with those painful memories of the past.

When I read this text message peacefully, those four words were actually a little awkward and cute.

Chen Ziran put the phone aside, and shared the cake with Chen Anan.

This is the happiest birthday she has had in so many years.

……

This is the most depressing Christmas that Gu Qi has had in so many years.

At this time, she was supposed to be in the main house of the Gu family in country Y, sitting around the dining room with her blood brothers and sisters who had no feelings for her, perfunctorily perfunctorily performing a fake show of fatherly kindness, filial piety, and respectful brotherhood to her father.

Gu Qiong even booked the air ticket, and when it was about to leave, it was refunded. He found a reason that the company suddenly had an emergency and needed her to come forward in person, and locked himself in the apartment next to the company. Looking in the direction where Chen Ziran lived, he drank all night.

Every Christmas is Chen Ziran's birthday, Gu Qie has engraved it in her heart, she doesn't want to waste this day on a group of hypocritical people, she wants to save this day only for the most important person in her heart.

Today is not only Christmas, but also her birthday.

One of the biggest disadvantages of being born during a festival is that the festive atmosphere is too grand, which will make the birthday person feel a sense of loss being neglected.

Gu Qiong knew that Chen Ziran would not feel this way, because she was used to being ignored.

But Gu Qiong just stubbornly wanted to remember this day for Chen Ziran, so that her Chen Ziran would never be a poor little neglected one.

Gu Qi hugged the half-empty wine bottle and smiled wryly. After all, she did all this to touch herself.

With her drunken eyes, the wish that she had hesitated for several hours was finally sent out before twelve o'clock: "Happy birthday."

He only dared to write these four words, and if he added another word, he was afraid that Chen Qiran would recognize her, complain that she was not keeping promises, and come to bother her again.

Gu Qiong really didn't want to disappoint Chen Ziran any more, she disappeared as soon as she said she would disappear, even though she was exhausted by longing, she didn't dare to peek at her even from a distance.

Counting it, it has only been half a year since she endured the days without Chen Qiran.

I never thought half a year would be so long.
