Goldberg Variations

Borrowing the convenience of today's transportation, Zhu Shaohui crossed half of China and came to Jiangzhou in a short time.

During the National Day, there were a lot of guests, and with the fact that no new employees had been recruited, Gu Kai was so busy that he didn't have much time to entertain Zhu Shaohui.

Zhu Shaohui, who was originally here to help Gu Kai relieve his grief, was dragged into a job as a voluntary worker for Qizhong Jewelry.

Zhu Shaohui gritted his teeth, wanting to quit the job and go back to find his goddess, but also worried that Gu Kai would feel uncomfortable alone, so he could only hold his nose and work hard.

He has a sharp tongue, although he doesn't know much about jewelry, but he has a brilliant tongue, and he has made great contributions to the increase in Qizhong Jewelry's turnover.

If it weren't for the high salary of this guy, Gu Kai couldn't afford to drive, so he really wanted to recruit Zhu Shaohui as his employee.

After being busy for a while, Gu Kai finally had time to rest, gave himself a day off, and played games with Zhu Shaohui at home.

Gu Kai often played games when he was in school, but since he went to work, he has less time to play games.

As a result, the technology gradually declined, which made Zhu Shaohui very disgusted.

When not playing games, the two lay on the sofa chatting and bragging, exposing each other's dark history.

At the end, Zhu Shaohui suddenly asked: "You, you really don't plan to continue to fight for it?"

Gu Kai took a puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes when he heard this, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and said in the curling smoke:

"It's not a question of whether I want to fight or not, it's that he doesn't give me a chance at all."

Zhu Shaohui rolled his eyes: "Did you forget how I licked, no, chased after my goddess?"

"At the beginning, she treated me with contempt. She didn't even take a second look at me. She even said firmly that she would never like me."

"Look now, isn't she still my wife?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Shaohui was triumphant.

His wife was the belle of the law school back then, and had countless suitors, but she was finally married to a little-known man like him, and Zhu Shaohui could brag about this matter for the rest of his life.

"..." Gu Kai glanced at him, "Who can compare to you, I've never seen a few people who lick dogs like you when I grow up."

Zhu Shaohui: "What's wrong with dog licking, licking to the end, everything you want!"

Gu Kai tilted his head and took another puff of cigarette: "I am not you, and he is not your goddess, the situation is different."

Zhu Shaohui stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Didn't you notice that you smoke a little too much recently?"

Gu Kai is not a heavy smoker, he only smokes a little when he is irritable.

"..." Gu Kai glanced at the light on the cigarette, "That's not as much as you used to be."

"You said it was in the past," Zhu Shaohui said proudly, "Now, under the supervision of my wife, I have quit smoking!"

Gu Kai was speechless, not knowing what he was so proud of.

He took out the cigarette case, took out one from it, and waved it in front of Zhu Shaohui.

The familiar smell of cigarettes floated into Zhu Shaohui's nose in an instant, and his eyes immediately became straight, chasing the cigarette, and turning with Gu Kai's hand.

"Want to smoke? I won't tell your wife."

Zhu Shaohui swallowed hard, and struggled to say: "No...she will definitely find out, and she will reveal her secrets as soon as she asks me, and I can't hide it at all."

"..." Gu Kai put away the cigarette, "Oh, forget about it."

Zhu Shaohui scratched his head, glanced at the cigarette case, still thinking: "...just one, you must keep it secret for me."

Gu Kai chuckled lightly: "Okay."

Leveraging Gu Kai's fire to light the cigarette, Zhu Shaohui finally put the long-lost cigarette into his mouth, took a deep puff, and sighed contentedly: "Men have to smoke to be masculine."

Gu Kai: "...So you gave up your manliness for your wife now?"

Zhu Shaohui said: "What is masculinity for? Isn't it just to marry a wife? I'm already married, so why do I need manliness? Besides, listen to your wife and you'll be a real man!"

Gu Kai laughed out loud and gave a thumbs up: "The logic is self-consistent, amazing."

"Generally average."

Zhu Shaohui shook his legs, changed his voice, and returned to Gu Kai:

"You really gave up?"

Gu Kaibai glanced at him: "Okay, I'll think about it again."

……

Pei Wen has been away from Jiangzhou for several days.

After many days of rehearsal, the tour finally started.

This is not Pei Wen's first tour. He has long been mentally prepared for the exhaustion of the tour, but maybe there is something in his heart, and he always feels powerless.

Before leaving Jiangzhou, he went to see a doctor and said that the previous medicine didn't seem to be effective. The doctor prescribed other medicines for him, and prescribed some sleeping pills for Pei Wen.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to fall asleep.

Because of the severe lack of sleep and loss of appetite, problems began to occur in all aspects of the body.

The day's rehearsal ended, it was already two o'clock in the morning, everyone was very tired, and even the voices of talking and laughing were less.

When Pei Wen got off the stage, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.

It just so happened that Hong Qian walked past him, waving with a weary expression.

Pei Wen unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and was about to drink it, so he handed it to her casually, and said with a smile, "Do you want some water?"

"Thank you." Hong Qian took it, Gulu gulped down a big sip of water, feeling that the burning throat was much better, and then said with emotion, "You are too strong, I can hardly laugh, I am so stressed and tired."

"No way, just get used to it." Pei Wen picked up another bottle of mineral water with a smile, but didn't hold the cap firmly when he unscrewed it.

"Grumble."

The bottle cap rolled to the ground, and Pei Wen bent down to pick it up.

The other hand reached out and helped Pei Wen pick up the bottle cap.

Looking up, it was Hou Xuesong.

Pei Wen felt sick to his stomach when he saw him, and immediately refused even the bottle cap, turned around and left.

"Pei Wen." Hou Xuesong quickly followed without any sense of being rejected.

Hong Qian looked at the back of the two leaving, a little confused.

Forget it, she can't control other people's affairs.

"Did something happen to you recently, you seem to be in a bad mood?" Hou Xuesong asked at the same speed as Pei Wen.

Pei Wen: "No, I'm tired and I'm going back to rest."

"Just together."

The whole troupe booked the same hotel, which is nearby, only a few minutes away, very close.

An impatience flashed in Pei Wen's eyes, and he walked faster, trying to get rid of him.

"Don't go so fast," Hou Xuesong said with a smile without taking a step, "You can tell me if you are in a bad mood."

"It's okay at first, but it's bad to see you." Pei Wen said firmly.

Gu Kai said, don't practice Tai Chi with someone like Hou Xuesong, but be direct.

"..." Hou Xuesong choked, "It seems that I'm not very popular."

Pei Wen originally wanted to say "It's good that you know", but his personality made it difficult for him to say such a sentence again.

His mother taught him to be polite and not to hurt anyone.

Seeing that Hou Xuesong couldn't be shaken off, Pei Wen could only let him follow him, but his eyes were only on the road and not on him, and it was clear what he couldn't see.

There was no change in Hou Xuesong's tone, but he was still gentle: "What happened? Maybe it would be better to say it."

"It's okay." Pei Wen became impatient.

Hou Xuesong guessed on his own: "I see that the guy named Gu Kai recently didn't seem to come to you again. What, there was a conflict? Or did he bully you?"

Pei Wen paused: "It has nothing to do with him."

Hou Xuesong smiled: "It seems that he made you feel bad?"

"What did he do, it wouldn't be..."

"Can you stop talking?"

When Gu Kai was involved, Pei Wen's patience finally ran out, and an unknown fire broke out in his heart again, and he lost his temper in a rare way.

"Do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"

Hou Xuesong was at a loss for words, and his smile froze: "Pei Wen, I think..."

"I don't want to hear it." Pei Wen covered his ears, "Stop following me."

After finishing speaking, he shook off Hou Xuesong and strode away.
