wounded city

According to Gu Shang's original plan, he might only be able to stay in Chengdu for five years, but when he met Liancheng, his plan changed completely. Up to now, he has been with Liancheng for three years, and he has stayed in Chengdu for five years. However, He no longer has the idea of ​​leaving.But on the other hand, he always felt a little sorry for his parents. During the five years, he could only go home during the long holidays such as the Spring Festival or National Day.

Of course, there is another issue of love and marriage.

When Gu Shang graduated, he was 22 years old. Five years later, he is already 27. He still did not tell his family about his situation, and only revealed that he had a "girlfriend" when his family pressed him. Every time he was asked by his parents, he could only falter and evade. Every time during the Chinese New Year, those seven aunts and eight aunts were even tougher. Even if they gave their grandsons a few hundred extra red envelopes, they still couldn’t escape being forced to ask. fate.

Liancheng also has the same distress. Liancheng is two years older than Gu Shang. He is 29 this year. The frequency of family forced marriages is getting higher and higher. The point is that his parents are old teachers, rather old-fashioned and out of the closet. The chance can be said to be even smaller than Gu Huan.

But both of them knew it well, and didn't say too much on this matter. It's a day to be together. Although the ending may be like "Love of Siam", I can't be with you, but this is not It means I don't love you.Although neither Gu Shang nor Lian Cheng wanted such a result.

When it comes to work, Gu Shang is still a small copywriter. Some old people have left the company, and a few newcomers have come, but these seem to have nothing to do with him. He is only responsible for writing manuscripts every day and occasionally talking to clients. Talk about cooperation or something.Lian Cheng has already become a big boss with good looks. The business of the coffee shop is pretty good. He has opened two branches. He is more leisurely than Gu Shang. He teases Bai Sasa at home every day and picks up Gu Shang when he gets off work. , occasionally went to the store for a so-called "inspection", and sometimes willfully asked Gu Shang to take half a month's leave, and the two traveled around together. It is also very merciful.

If there is one more thing that Gu Shang cares about is Jian Jian and Lin Bo, at first he felt that there was something wrong with these two people, but later it turned out that they actually got together, if it wasn’t for the time when Gu Shang went to Shanghai to look for Lin Bo one day , Seeing the disheveled simplicity at Lin Bo's house, he still couldn't believe it. As for why they walked together, it really had something to do with that night in Lijiang three years ago.

Gu Shang hung up the phone, and called home just now, his mother was talking about forced marriage again, which made his mind wander, thinking about a lot of messy things.

"Fufu, this day is really unbearable!" Gu Shang slammed the phone hard, but it just fell on the sofa.

"Has been nagged again?" Lian Cheng smiled while lying on Gu Shang's lap.

"I feel like I'm going crazy, and I call back six times a week, clamoring for me to show them what my future daughter-in-law looks like... I want to show them, but I'm afraid they will be scared out of their wits." first!"

Liancheng was silent. If it was three years ago, he might have comforted Gu Shang and took things slowly, but now...he feels that he is in danger. In fact, he didn't tell Gu Shang that his family called him to remind him. The frequency of marriage is twice that of Gu Shang's family. It is no exaggeration to say that his mother has already cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.

"Flower..."

"Ok?"

Liancheng hesitated to speak, but Gu Shang saw everything in his eyes. This has happened countless times. Since a year ago, the recent frequency seems to be more and more frequent.

"Nothing..." Sure enough.

Without saying a word, Gu Shang got up and went to the kitchen to cook.The house they live in now was bought by Liancheng. Although it is not big, [-] square meters with two bedrooms and one living room, it is enough for two people and one dog.The house is in Dongjiaochang Street, Jinjiang District, very close to Gu Shang's company, and Liancheng's name is that Gu Shang can go home and cook for himself at noon every day.

The two have lived in this house for more than two years. Their days are ordinary but happy. They go home to cook after work every day. After dinner, they take Bai Sasa to a nearby park for a walk. Going out to a certain place, or staying at home to watch movies and anime, although Liancheng doesn't know how to play games, under the guidance of Gu Shang, a "master", they can barely play a dungeon together.

Sometimes Liancheng's mother or father would make surprise visits, and Liancheng only said that Gu Shang was his good friend and shared the house with him!Yes, Liancheng didn't tell his family about buying a house.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Gu Shang's voice floated from the kitchen.

"Ancient pineapple meat, cola chicken wings, and hot and sour fish!" Lian Cheng tilted his head and replied.

"Although I really want to cook for you..." Gu Shang came out of the kitchen and leaned against the wall, "But I'm sorry, there are no ingredients at home, so let's go out to eat tonight."

After tidying up a bit, tidying up his hair and so on, Gu Shang and Lian Cheng went out.

Gu Shang and Liancheng's house is very close to Chunxi Road, and they can walk there in half an hour. The two of them were not in a hurry, so they walked there slowly, then chose a new restaurant that looked good, and ordered food Sit down near the window.

"It seems that the popularity of this restaurant is quite strong, but I don't know how it tastes." While drinking tea, Gu Shang said.

"Who knows, this store is newly opened, I guess these people are trying something new." Liancheng replied slowly.

After the food was served and tasted, Gu Shang said again: "This taste is so-so, and it's not unpalatable."

"Yes yes yes, the food you cook is the best in the world!" Lian Cheng said amusedly, and kept adding vegetables to Gu Shang's bowl.

While eating, Liancheng's cell phone rang suddenly, and Liancheng who got through the phone looked at Gu Shang in a daze, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Shang asked suspiciously.

"My mother said that she would come over, and..." Liancheng really didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help it, he had already seen his mother appear in sight, "He said he would bring a girl to me on a blind date..."

Gu Shang, who was eating with his head down, paused for a moment, then continued to eat as if nothing had happened, without saying anything. Two minutes later, Liancheng's mother appeared in front of the two of them with a girl. The girl was quite tall, at least 2 and above. Baby fat, looks very cute.

"Xiao Gu is here too?" Lian Cheng's mother said with a smile, she sat next to Gu Shang, and then asked the girl to sit next to Lian Cheng.

"Acheng, this is your aunt's daughter's classmate, called..."

"My name is Lin Jiayi. Nice to meet you." The girl's voice was soft, and Gu Shang, who was used to the online dubbing circle, first thought, why didn't this voice be dubbed?

"Hello, I'm Liancheng, this is my...friend, Gu Shang." Liancheng's tone was rather cold.

"Hello..." Gu Shang hurriedly greeted him.

During this meal, Gu Shang felt the most depressed. Liancheng's mother was on the side to match Liancheng and Lin Jiayi. Lin Jiayi also seemed to have a good impression of Liancheng, and chatted very actively, but Liancheng himself was always indifferent. You can't tell if you're happy or not.

Regardless of whether Liancheng was happy or not, Gu Shang felt that he seemed to be the most redundant of the four, and he was no longer in the mood to eat, so he said with a dry smile that he still had something to do, so he left first.Liancheng's mother didn't care at all, but Liancheng paid attention to all Gu Shang's expressions and movements, so once Gu Shang left, he became more and more unable to talk.

The three of them sat for over an hour, and finally the girl was called away by a phone call from home, leaving only Liancheng and his mother on the table.Liancheng's mother had a stern face, with an unhappy expression on her face: "I said, you are so indifferent to other girls. Where can you find an excellent girl like Jiayi?"

"Mom! I've already said that I'll take care of my own affairs. Why do you suddenly want me to go on a blind date!" Thinking of Gu Shang's expression, Lian Cheng felt a little irritable.

"You can solve it, you can solve it! How many times have you said it? You've said it all, your dad and I are getting old, and while we can still move, we can help you take care of the children. Hurry up and get married and have a baby, so that you will be fine too." Work with peace of mind, isn't it? In your generation in our family, you are the only one left unmarried, and your cousin's children are all in elementary school!"

"Then you have to find a suitable person. Do you want me to find someone to marry casually?"

"Whatever, isn't Jiayi pretty good? She's pretty and capable, and now she's also the manager of a listed company. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"No matter how beautiful you are and how good your job is, what can you do if you don't feel it?"

"Emotions can be cultivated slowly. Just stay together for a while. I believe you will fall in love with each other."

"mom!"

Liancheng couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the table suddenly, and the whole restaurant fell silent immediately, and the mother sitting opposite was also stunned. In his memory, he had never seen Liancheng so angry before. .Liancheng, who had calmed down a little, sat without saying a word, with his head bowed.

"Ah Cheng, what is your relationship with...you and Xiao Gu?" Lian Cheng's mother suddenly asked.

Liancheng's body shook, but he didn't answer right away.

"Ever since Xiao Gu left, I've felt that you're becoming more and more absent-minded, and I'm also curious, why you can live together for three years, your relationship seems to be too good..."

"mom……"

"Ah Cheng, mom knows some things, but just because mom can tolerate it doesn't mean your dad can tolerate it. Your grandpa and grandma can tolerate it, and there are so many relatives in the family. How do you ask us to speak? It's mom begging you, why don't you?" Your father and I, think about it for the whole family."

After speaking, Liancheng's mother stood up and left the restaurant.Liancheng leaned on the chair alone, his heart was full of irritability, how could he not understand what his mother said, the question was how he would face Gu Shang, the man he loved so much.

Besides, Gu Shang left early because he felt very uncomfortable watching Liancheng go on a blind date in front of him, but is there any way to stop it.After leaving, he went home directly, shut himself in the room, hugged Bai Sasa silently, and muttered to himself while stroking.

I sat from afternoon to night, until late at night, and I didn't even go home in the city. For the first time in three years, I felt that kind of boundless loneliness and helplessness again.The lights in the room were not turned on, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the brightly lit city. Although the dark night sky was glowing red, there was not a single star to be seen.Bai Sasa whimpered, and put her head close to Gu Shang's heart.

He didn't know how long he sat there, but when Gu Shang heard the phone ringing, he quickly connected it.

The voice on the other side was not Liancheng, but simple: "Huahua, Huahua, I have some good news for you, but please promise me first, don't cut me down..." Although the simple tone was pitiful, it also revealed that watching his excitement.

"What?" After several hours without speaking, Gu Shang made a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your voice so hoarse? Could it be last night...hehehe..."

For this Lich King, Gu Shang felt a headache: "Quickly tell me, what's going on, don't say I'm dead!"

"Okay, let me say it's okay..." The simple and solemn dry cough on the other end of the phone, and then said seriously, "I'm getting married soon! With Limbo!"

Just when Gu Shang was completely in a sluggish state, the simple and excited voice continued to come: "You don't know, when I came out with my family some time ago, it was a disaster. I was beaten until my leg was broken, but Dad Mom still feels sorry for me, and finally accepted the fact that Lin Bo also passed the test, we discussed it, it is better to hit the sun today, and plan to fly to the Netherlands to get married next month, so, you have to prepare red envelopes !"

Gu Shang didn't have the heart to listen to what Jian Jian said at all, unconsciously, looking at the splendor in front of him, two lines of tears hung on his face.

"Huahua?" He didn't get a reply, so he called out in confusion.

"Well, you must be happy..." Gu Shang's voice trembled uncontrollably, and then he hung up the phone.

"You must be happy..." Gu Shang repeated this sentence repeatedly, staring at the lights outside the window intently.
