Eccentricity

Chen Ziran took a comfortable bath.

The steam from the natural hot spring pool made her drowsy against the pebbles by the pool.

I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

Let your mind go, you don't have to think about anything, and when your fingers are wrinkled from the soak, Chen Ziran reluctantly comes out of the hot spring pool.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun was refracted into the living room through the transparent glass. There was a clear sunset in the distance, and fiery red clouds billowed in the sky. Standing under the setting sun, Chen Qiran took a deep breath, just waiting for Gu Qiong to come back.

Gu Qiong went out in the afternoon, and Chen Ziran checked the navigation. From the hotel to the cake room, it was estimated that it would take two hours to walk back and forth, and counting the waiting time for picking up the cake, it would be two and a half hours at full speed. It was already past five o'clock. It won't be long before Gu Qiong will be back.

The cake was custom-made by Gu Qiong and Chen An'an, and Chen Ziran didn't know it at all. He was already looking forward to it, wondering what kind of cake she would bring back?

First of all, chocolate and ice cream flavors are excluded. Chen Ziran likes sweetness, pure sweetness. Although the chocolate is fragrant and rich, he can always taste bitterness. Chen Ziran can accept it, not to mention liking it. I don't know the flavor of ice cream.

So there is a high probability that it will still be a cream cake. The baked fluffy cake embryo is covered with layers of thick cream. Chen Ziran just thinks about it, and he is already hungry.

"Mom." Chen Anan stood in the corridor on the second floor and asked Chen Ziran loudly: "Is Aunt Gu back? I'm hungry!"

"She was walking, how could she be so fast." Chen Ziran smiled, "Why don't you eat some snacks first?"

"Forget it, I still have my stomach for the big dinner at night, I'll just bear with it." Chen An'an rubbed her stomach, she heard that the dinner had top-quality Wagyu beef brought in from Japan by air, and there were many other delicacies Yes, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

"Wait a little longer, your Auntie Gu should be back soon."

It's a quarter past five, counting the time, Gu Qi should be back in the hotel by 05:30 at the latest.

Chen An'an said she got it, and went back to her room to play on the computer. Chen Ziran was waiting for Gu Qiong in the living room with hot tea in her hand. She turned on the TV and tuned it to a TV series that she had watched several episodes intermittently, and then Looking down, but he didn't pay attention to the TV screen at all, and kept looking towards the door of the villa, for fear that he would miss the opportunity for Gu Qiong to enter the door.

The time was getting closer and closer to 05:30, and Chen Yuran's heart rose higher and higher, until it almost reached the throat, as if it could pop out with just one mouth.

25:28, [-]:[-], [-]:[-]...

The clock passed 05:30 unhurriedly, and walked back step by step, five forty, five fifty...

The cup of hot tea in Chen Ziran's hand was very hot at first, then it became warm, and finally completely cooled down. Before, tea was used to cover hands, but now hands are used to cover tea.

Taking a sip nervously, the cold tea gulped down into his stomach, and cut his throat like a knife.

Chen Ziran couldn't sit still any longer, and took out his mobile phone to call Gu Qiong.

"Sorry, the call you made is temporarily unanswered..."

One call, two calls... Polite prompts kept coming from the receiver, and Chen Ziran suddenly had a bad feeling that something would happen to Gu Qiong.

As soon as this thought came into his mind, Chen Ziran immediately put on his coat, called Chen Anan out again, and told her: "I'll go out for a while, you stay in the hotel well, you can order something to eat if you're hungry, or you can eat snacks, In short, you are not allowed to go out alone, the mountains are no better than the city at night, do you understand?"

"Has Aunt Gu come back yet?" Chen Anan also became worried, "Could something happen on the road?"

"Don't think about it, it's probably because the bakery misunderstood her request, and she asked the pastry chef to redo it, so it was delayed." Chen Ziran smiled at Chen An'an, "It's okay, you don't even think about her identity, How could something happen."

Even though she said that, Chen Ziran didn't know what to do. As soon as Chen An'an returned to her room, the forced smile on her face collapsed and turned into deep worry.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the door, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Ziran was overjoyed, and walked forward to open the door in three steps at a time, not forgetting to pretend to complain: "It's been so long since I came back, An'an is almost starving to death..."

She thought it was Gu Qiong who was in a hurry and forgot to bring the key, so she had to knock on the door when she came back, but when the door opened, she was completely disappointed.

It wasn't Gu Qiong, it was the delivery staff of the hotel.

Chen Ziran stepped sideways to let them put the sumptuous dinner that Gu Qi had ordered in advance on the table one by one, said thank you, and was about to continue to go out, but unexpectedly another person came.

It's Gu Qiong's assistant, with a poker face as usual, without any extraneous emotions, when he saw Chen Wei, he said politely: "Miss Chen, Mr. Gu has something to deal with temporarily, let me tell you that she won't be here tonight Now, let you take your daughter to celebrate your birthday with peace of mind, and I will make up the cake for you after everything is dealt with in a few days."

"Did something happen to Gu Qiong?" Chen Ziran became anxious.

"It involves company secrets, sorry, it's inconvenient to disclose." The assistant put on a standard smile, "Happy birthday to you, then I won't bother you." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Chen Ziran held the door in a daze for a moment, when the cold wind in the mountains in December blew by, she shivered, and slowly retracted her legs that had already taken half a step.

Her intuition told her that something serious must have happened, otherwise Gu Qiong would not have left without saying goodbye.

Before coming on vacation, Gu Qiong had already said that everything in the company had been arranged, and unless the company declared bankruptcy tomorrow, there would be no occasions where she needed to come forward.

Chen Zi then unconsciously opened the major news websites to search for news related to Gu's Pharmaceutical Group.

The earliest one was a few days ago, and there was no news related to the collapse of Gu's on the entire network.

Chen Ziran let go of some ominous premonition in his heart, and called Chen An'an down for dinner, just wait for Gu Qiong to come to her after this matter is over, and just tell her what happened.

"This Aunt Gu is really serious. What's the big deal and I have to go back to the city today? We agreed to celebrate your birthday together..." Chen Anan complained softly at the dinner table.

Chen Ziran was not angry, but comforted Chen Anan with a smile: "Aunt Gu manages such a large company by herself, and there are estimated to be tens of thousands of people. Don't think about how busy she is. Isn't it normal for emergencies? Birthday It happens every year, and it’s not a big deal.”

Chen An'an knew that her mother was devoted to Gu Qiong, and although she was dissatisfied, she didn't want to say much, but instead smiled and comforted Chen Ziran: "Mom, you are right, after a few days Auntie Gu will come back, let her make an apology to you Just apologize."

Chen Ziran was smiling on the surface, her heart was beating wildly for no reason, and her eyelids were also twitching. She always felt that it was not that simple for Gu Qiong to suddenly have something to do, but her assistant kept his mouth shut and couldn't ask anything.

Chen Qiran had no choice but to pray silently in his heart. As the saying goes, the scourge will last for thousands of years, Gu Qiong, you, a great scourge who has cultivated to become a master, must not have any accidents.

Before a storm comes, there will always be a strange silence. The clouds in the sky are dark and motionless as painted, there is no wind in the air, and even the falling leaves of the trees are straight.

Chen Ziran was almost out of breath, lying on the bed, her heart was beating so fast as if she had a heart attack, which made her unable to relax and fall asleep, she turned over several times, finally sat up, and turned on the light.

She can't read books or listen to music, so she has to check her phone every half a minute, for fear of missing the news that Gu Qiong reported her safety.

Ten o'clock passed, and there was no movement on the phone.

Eleven o'clock passed, and the phone was still silent.

It was not until 59:[-] in the middle of the night that Chen Yuran received a text message on his mobile phone, which only had four words:

[Happy birthday. ]

The text message was from an unknown number.

Chen Ziran's breathing stopped violently for a moment, and he hit him like he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

It must be Gu Qiong's prank again, creating some kind of "surprise" for her.

Xi didn't feel it, but Chen Ziran was almost scared to death.

The strange number only rang once, and someone answered it. Before the other end could speak, Chen Ziran scolded: "Gu Qiong, is there something wrong with your brain? Why do you have nothing to do with this kind of prank? If you think I have a good heart, you have to scare me out of it." A heart attack?"

The voice of the person over there was obviously stuck, and after a long silence, he said, "It's me."

Chen Ziran also froze.

Not Gu Qiong.

It's Liang Ziying.

Liang Ziying, who has not appeared for two years.

Chen Ziran almost forgot about her.

"I'm sorry." After a long silence, Chen Ziran pinched his eyes and apologized wearily, "I didn't know it was you."

"I... I don't mean anything else, I just want to wish you a happy birthday." Liang Ziying seemed to be afraid that Chen Ziran would get angry, and hurriedly continued: "Today is your birthday, I remember... I... I hurt you You, I don't have the face to see you again, so I have to use this way, you...don't hate me for disturbing you..."

Chen Ziran's mind was full of worries about Gu Qiong, and he had no time to talk to her about the mess back then, so he said perfunctorily, "Thank you, today is also your birthday, happy birthday, I'll hang up if it's okay."

"Sister..." Liang Ziying heard Chen Ziran's unintentional blessing, but she became obviously emotional and wanted to say something.

Chen Ziran didn't have the energy to listen, so she hung up before Liang Ziying could speak.

Putting down the phone, Chen Ziran was both scared and at a loss.

After staying on the bed with my knees in my arms for 2 minutes, my phone vibrated again.

Chen Ziran picked it up like lightning, ecstatic.

It was a message sent to her by Gu Qiong. There was no text, but a picture, and the content of the picture could not be seen on the lock screen interface.

Chen Ziran unlocked it excitedly, clicked into the dialog box with Gu Qiong, clicked on the big picture, and was dumbfounded.

Her hands were shaking, and she couldn't even hold the phone, and it slipped from her palm.

My vision became blurred, and I couldn't hear anything in my ears, only the severe urn humming, drilling into my brain like an electric drill.

Could it be that I read it wrong?

Trembling, Chen Ziran fumbled a few times, picked up the phone, and checked again.

correct.

It's Gu Qiong.

Chen Ziran worried about her all night, and the assistant ran up to say "Mr. Gu has something urgent to deal with".The so-called urgent matter is that Gu Qiong held the back of Zhou Xiaoyu's head and kissed each other lingeringly on the bed.

Chen Ziran felt that his blood vessels were frozen.
