Goldberg Variations

This process has been going on for many days, Pei Wen's vacation has long since ended, so he can only go with Gu Kai after get off work and weekends.

Sometimes Gu Kai would pick him up from the Legend Theater Troupe, and sometimes it was Pei Wen who took the initiative to find Gu Kai at Qizhong Jewelry, and both of them quickly became acquainted with each other's circle of friends.

Gu Kai also introduced Pei Wen to Zhu Shaohui. After all, Zhu Shaohui was always worried about Gu Kai because of Pei Wen.

"Obviously this guy cried to me not long ago, and he didn't give me a chance after he finished talking. Tsk, I really thought there was no game at the time. I didn't expect it. Life is like a drama, and the world is impermanent."

Zhu Shaohui raised one leg.

"When did I cry?" Gu Kai denied, "I just confide!"

Zhu Shaohui gave him a white look: "I didn't talk to you again!"

Pei Wen sat next to Gu Kai, pursing his lips and smiling.

In fact, at the beginning, he didn't think that Gu Kai liked him so much, he felt that after the rejection, Gu Kai would gradually forget about him and find a new love.

"Come, come, let me introduce you." Zhu Shaohui put his arms around the waist of his goddess, and kissed her on the cheek, "This is my wife, my goddess."

Both of them are not in Jiangzhou, they have their own jobs, and it is not convenient to come here for a while, so the four of them are video calling.

Feng Qing wiped his face in disgust, then smiled at Pei Wen: "My name is Feng Qing, and I and Shaohui are college classmates."

Feng Qing had long black hair, which was not tied up, and was casually draped over his shoulders.

Even without makeup, you can tell that she is a big beauty, with a palm-sized oval face and black and white eyes, she is the kind of stunning beauty that makes people feel ashamed at first glance.

Pei Wen nodded and said with a smile, "Hello."

He is not talkative, but fortunately Zhu Shaohui and Feng Qing are not the ones who would cool the place down, and they told Pei Wen a lot about Gu Kai's black history.

Gu Kai's head was full of black lines, but seeing that Pei Wen was interested, he let them go.

However, he found that Zhu Shaohui, a licking dog, could put his arms around his wife's waist, and he just sat closer to Pei Wen.

Therefore, when Pei Wen and Wen were talking, Gu Kai couldn't help looking at Pei Wen's waist.

To be honest, since Pei Wen was discharged from the hospital, he hasn't put his arms around Pei Wen's waist much - even though they are dating now.

Gu Kai was always worried that Pei Wen would be uncomfortable, so even if he wanted to make physical contact, he tried his best to restrain himself, first asked Pei Wen's opinion, and only dared to reach out when he got approval.

Of course, at most it's just holding hands, giving a light hug or something... As for going further, Gu Kai hasn't thought that far.

He was also very depressed when his life was so trembling.But when he thought that Pei Wen didn't want others to touch him, but was willing to let him touch him, he felt flattered.

Just when Gu Kai was thinking about this, Pei Wen who was chatting with Feng Qing suddenly put his hand on the back of Gu Kai's hand.

With five fingers staggered, he clasped Gu Kai's palm.

Gu Kai was a little surprised, Pei Wen turned his head and smiled at him.

In an instant, the only depression left in Gu Kai's heart dissipated.

Look, how careful and considerate his boyfriend is, how much he cares about him!

At the end of the call, Feng Qing had a good impression of Pei Wen, and was also very excited about the little interaction between Gu Kai and Pei Wen, saying that she would take time to come and see Pei Wen after she finished her recent case.

That enthusiasm made Zhu Shaohui a little jealous.

However, he knows his wife's temperament, although she looks like an elite woman with full aura, but inside she is a rotten girl who wants to scream when she sees handsome guys together...

As soon as the video call ended, Shi Yangming finally took the opportunity to complain to the new boss:

"Gu Kai, why don't you put a bare tree without leaves in the store?"

After the probationary period ended, Gu Kai turned Shi Yangming into a full-time employee, and his salary was a basic salary plus a commission. Shi Yangming was very satisfied with this.

"..." Gu Kai glanced at the ginkgo tree by the door, "There were still a few leaves a few days ago."

"It's all gone." Shi Yangming pointed to the trash can, "There are the last few leaves, I just swept them in."

Gu Kai glanced at Pei Wen.

Pei Wen was a little embarrassed: "I forgot that ginkgo trees are deciduous trees."

When Gu Kai was decorating, the ginkgo was at its most beautiful. Both of them only noticed the beauty of the ginkgo, but ignored it.

"This is indeed a problem." Wan Ying touched his chin and looked at the bare tree, "How about we change to an evergreen tree? This bare one doesn't look good."

Gu Kai glanced at Pei Wen again.

Pei Wen also said: "Yes, let's change to an evergreen tree, it looks better."

"No." Gu Kai said, "Why doesn't it look good? Isn't that tree branch and shape quite artistic? How beautiful, do you have any aesthetics?"

Shi Yangming and Wan Ying were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at each other.

In the next second, Wan Ying first chose to give in:

"Boss, you are right, so don't change it."

Shi Yangming was so lonely that he couldn't support himself. He scratched his head and took another look at the bare ginkgo tree. He said ashamedly, "I really don't have artistic talents. You have the final say."

Therefore, this ginkgo tree was left intact.

Knowing that Gu Kai insisted on staying because of him, Pei Wen whispered to Gu Kai when the two went to work separately:

"Actually, it can be changed."

"It's fine if you don't change it." Gu Kai was very firm, "Its branches are indeed very artistic."

"More importantly, every time I see this ginkgo tree in the store, I think of you."

"Especially when you were on tour before." Gu Kai paused, and said depressedly, "However, I felt uncomfortable when I thought of you at the time, but the more uncomfortable I was, the more I wanted to take a second look."

He was probably a bit mean.

Pei Wen smiled softly: "I'm sorry."

It was because of his cowardice that he brought unhappiness to Gu Kai.

"But now when you go to work, I will feel very good when I see this tree." Gu Kai squeezed Pei Wen's palm and teased, "So should I thank you now?"

"I……"

There were no customers in the store. After Shi Yangming finished cleaning, he wanted to come over to chat with the two of them while waiting to get off work, but Wan Ying dragged him to the door to greet him.

"Why are you pulling me, sister Ying?"

Wan Ying showed a look of resentment: "...work hard! He is the boss, we are employees, be careful that he deducts your salary."

"Oh." Shi Yangming scratched his head in confusion, looked at the two people who were very close to each other on the sofa, and said with emotion, "The relationship between the two brothers is really good."

Wan Ying: "Two brothers?"

Shi Yangming: "Yes, isn't Gu Kai Pei Wen's elder brother?"

Wan Ying: "?"

The two on the sofa did not notice these details.

"Ginkgo tree," Pei Wen smiled inexplicably, "Did you know that ginkgo is probably the loneliest creature in the world."

"Lonely?" Gu Kai didn't understand what he meant.

"Do you know that I think of you when I see something?" Pei Wen changed the subject.

"what?"

"Cedar." He approached slightly and smelled the familiar fragrance from Gu Kai, "It's the smell of you."

"So every time I see Cedar, I think of you."

Gu Kai frowned suddenly: "Then I should change the perfume."

"why?"

Gu Kai: "Because that teacher Hou is also called Xuesong."
