Goldberg Variations

Pei Wen choked for breath, and began to talk about him from left to right: "Have you had dinner yet?"

This topic is really too blunt, Gu Kai smiled lightly: "No, you sent a message just after steaming the rice."

"Are you still looking at your phone while cooking?"

"You are a special reminder," Gu Kai said naturally, "Whether you look at the phone or not, I will know when you send a message."

Pei Wen was silent again, as if he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, he said in embarrassment: "I'm done talking, you go and cook, I won't disturb you anymore."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Gu Kai didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Seeing that the other party had hung up on the screen, Gu Kai let out a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.

It seems that his efforts during this period of time are still effective.

After exiting the call interface, he saw a small red dot on Zhu Shaohui's profile picture, so Gu Kai clicked on it:

"Have you finished chatting, do you still need my brother to give you advice?"

Gu Kai said happily: "No need."

Zhu Shaohui: "..."

He sent a long string of ellipses: "Waste my feelings! I was serious just now, and I analyzed it for you for a long time with my wife!"

He thought that he had become a serf and sang, but he didn't expect that it was just useless work.

Gu Kai: "You didn't lose anything, didn't you listen to the gossip for free?"

"..." Zhu Shaohui rolled his eyes wide, "Who wants to listen to your gossip!"

Gu Kai: "Oh, don't listen, I won't tell you from now on."

Zhu Shaohui: "No, I want to listen!"

Gu Kai: "Well, speaking of it, I still have a question. Is your goddess free? I have something to talk to her about."

After a while, there was a new person over there.

Zhu Shaohui's goddess is a law student and is currently a lawyer.

Gu Kai slightly ignored the identities of the characters, selectively talked about the things between Pei Wenwen and Hou Xuesong, and asked how to deal with this situation.

Gu Kai spoke incongruously to Pei Wen, but still hoped to resolve this matter through normal channels.

As a law-abiding and good citizen, his first reaction is of course to take up legal weapons to protect his sweetheart.

But after chatting, Gu Kai found that, on the one hand, it is difficult to obtain evidence in this situation. After the passage of time, most of the evidence has been lost, and it is very difficult to convict Hou Xuesong.On the other hand, even if Hou Xuesong is convicted of the crime, it will be difficult for the other party to receive a particularly severe punishment. At most, he can only be convicted of indecent assault.

Of course, what worried Gu Kai even more was that recalling the situation at that time and telling the police would easily cause secondary harm. He wasn't sure if Pei Wen was willing or not.

However, Pei Wen may not be the only person Hou Xuesong harassed... Gu Kai thought, if he could contact other victims, he should be more confident.

Thinking of this, Gu Kai planned to ask Pei Wen to see if he knew.

As soon as I opened Pei Wen's chat box, I saw a message from that person:

"Gu Kai, I will try my best to adjust myself."

When you like someone, you will instinctively desire more and closer contact, and Gu Kai is no exception, while Pei Wen does not have such a need at this stage.

So he made this decision considering Gu Kai's feelings.

Thinking about this point clearly, Gu Kai couldn't help sighing: Pei Wen is so kind.

"I'll help you," he said.

Gu Kai showed Pei Wen another photo of the dishes he ate tonight, and said, "The meat is a bit old, not as good as your cooking."

When will you cook me another meal? ——This is Gu Kai's subtext.

Pei Wen: "Then next time, we will fry for a while less."

Gu Kai sighed regretfully, and quickly regained his spirits.

The next day, in order to personally help Pei Wen overcome his psychological shadow, Gu Kai got off work early and drove to the Legendary Theater Troupe.

The Legendary Troupe is in Dongcheng District.

Dongcheng District is the old city of Jiangzhou, where many established companies are located. The Legendary Theater Company has been established since the 90s of the last century, and has been in existence for more than [-] years. It is a group with a long history among domestic theater companies.

Arriving outside the gate of the Legendary Theater Troupe, there was still some time before Pei Wen finished rehearsal, Gu Kai lingered at the gate for a while, and a staff member came to ask.

"I'm here to find Pei Wen." Gu Kai said.

The staff laughed and said, "They are still rehearsing, why don't you come in and wait?"

"is it okay?"

"of course can."

Because the troupe members were rehearsing, the hall was empty and there was no one there. There was a bench against the wall, and Gu Kai sat down there.

There are two receptionists at the front desk, one is a curly-haired woman in her thirties, watching a video with her head down, and the other is a 27-year-old young woman with a ponytail and glasses.

The one with the ponytail poured a cup of tea for Gu Kai, and asked with a smile, "Are you Pei Wen's friend?"

Gu Kai nodded: "Students from high school."

The young woman smiled and said, "Pei Wen has been here for three years, and you are his second friend I've met."

The first one is undoubtedly Yushuangshuang.

Gu Kai: "Does he rarely interact with people?"

"That's right," the young woman said with a smile, "I heard that he is a foreigner, and he came here alone after graduation."

"He is relatively introverted. Although he has a good personality and gets along well with those in the troupe, he is usually a loner and doesn't fit in well."

Gu Kai nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "I heard that Mr. Hou Xuesong also belongs to your troupe?"

Ponytail's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, I decided to work here because of him, he is my male god!"

"I like him very much too," Gu Kai smiled, "If it weren't for my current job, I would also like to work here, are you still recruiting?"

"There is no plan to recruit people for the time being, but..." Ponytail glanced at Gu Kai, "If it were you, I would definitely do it."

Gu Kai laughed, and continued to lead the topic to Hou Xuesong: "What is Mr. Hou like in private?"

"Privately, he is also very nice." Ponytail's eyes were full of admiration, "He is different from those traffic stars who are superficially one-sided and secretly one-sided. Mr. Hou is a real gentleman, gentle and gentle, and treats others Super gentle!"

"If he hadn't been married, I would have..."

The co-author is a diehard fan of Hou Xuesong.

Seeing that he couldn't find any useful information, Gu Kai turned the topic back to Pei Wen and asked about Pei Wen's daily life.

Maybe it's because the work is too boring, or maybe it's because Gu Kai himself is attractive, but the ponytail knows everything.

The two were chatting happily when they heard a person coming down the stairs.

"Gu Kai?"

Gu Kai raised his head, met Pei Wen's surprised gaze, stood up and said, "Get off work?"

Pei Wen couldn't help laughing: "Well, why are you here?"

Gu Kai: "I have something to come to you."

Pei Wen looked puzzled, smiled at the two sisters at the front desk, and said goodbye to Hong Qian and Fan Lei beside him.

"What's the matter?" He walked towards Gu Kai.

"Let's talk on the road." Gu Kai held Pei Wen's shoulders, "Let's go."

Hou Xuesong, who had just come down from the second floor, watched the two of them leave, his eyes darkened—when Pei Wen saw Gu Kai just now, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

He is usually very restrained, and this behavior is even more unusual.

"Gu Kai..." Hou Xuesong murmured the name again.
