Goldberg Variations

"..." Gu Kai waved his hand, "Forget it, go get busy."

After all, bow your head and draw your own picture.

But design is a work that needs inspiration. Gu Kai drew for a long time distractedly, and felt that it was not good no matter how he drew, so he had to close the ipad in the end.

He had nothing else to do, and he was bored when he was free, so he picked up the mop and prepared to mop the floor.

"...Boss, I just delayed it." Wan Ying reminded.

Gu Kai said seriously: "I don't think it's clean enough, let's drag it again."

"Then I'll come?" There were no customers in the shop, and she was also idle.

"No need." Gu Kai said, "I'll do it myself."

Not letting go of every corner, Gu Kai mopped every inch of the floor in the store until it was even used as a mirror.

Then I took the rag and wiped the showcase inch by inch.

Shi Yangming and Wan Ying offered to help, but he refused and insisted on doing it by himself.

After cleaning the entire seven jewels spotlessly, Gu Kai stopped and saw the ginkgo plant beside the door.

Spring is here, Ginkgo biloba begins to grow new shoots, and the green leaf buds stick out from the trunk, which is very gratifying to look at.

"It's spring," Gu Kai said, "It's almost time for us to change the decoration again, let's change this pot of ginkgo."

"Why change it?" Wan Ying said, "Isn't it sprouting, it is in line with the breath of spring, and I have been watching it for so long, and I am used to it."

"..." Gu Kai glanced at her.

Wan Ying: "You are the boss and you have the final say."

Shi Yangming planned to move, and asked, "Should we change now?"

Gu Kai thought for a while: "...Forget it, let's put it there, don't change it yet."

Shi Yangming turned his head to look at him, and began to suspect that the boss really had advanced menopause.

Gu Kai ignored his guess and glanced at his watch:

"It's almost time, you guys get off work."

The two people were uncomfortable all day because of Gu Kai's low pressure, they hurriedly smiled and said goodbye tomorrow, and immediately slipped away.

After the two left, Gu Kai looked at the empty and quiet store, and decided to stay in the store for a while.

If you go home, every corner of the house will be imprinted by Pei Wen's past existence, making it even more disturbing to look at.

Gu Kai sat on a high stool, with his upper body lying on the front desk, staring at the ginkgo tree by the door in a daze.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he knew clearly that breaking up with Pei Wen had a great impact on his emotions.

So much so that he was absent-minded all day long, and Pei Wen was always in his mind unconsciously.

But the picture of Pei Wen breaking up with him, just thinking about it makes him feel uncomfortable, so his brain will deliberately avoid thinking about that scene.

In the empty and boring time, Gu Kai always clicked on Pei Wen's dialog box habitually, wanting to send him a message.

But every time he clicked the first letter, he realized that they had broken up.

Gu Kai has a lot of friends on his list, but apart from the flower gardening group and the jewelry shop group where there are constant messages, others rarely send him messages.

Gu Kai scrolled through Moments for a while, and saw the small video of Zhu Shaohui traveling with his wife almost swiping the screen.

It is even more sad when the love of others is compared with your own aloneness.

Gu Kai put down the phone.

Not long after, he picked up his phone again and clicked on Pei Wen's dialog box.After repeating this three times, Gu Kai clicked on the other party's circle of friends.

Then he found that he could no longer see Pei Wen's circle of friends.

Good guy, Pei Wen blocked him again.

"..." Gu Kai slapped the phone on the front desk, almost smashing the screen.

"Hello." At this moment, a young girl walked in the door.

"Welcome." Gu Kai didn't get up, but was still sitting on the high stool, with a perfunctory smile on his face, "May I ask what you want?"

The girl took out a pack of amethysts from her bosom, and said distressedly: "Can I trouble you to string these together for me?"

"This is a gift from my grandma. Now she has passed away... I took the bracelet off when I was taking a shower this morning, but my dog ​​bit it."

"There should be quite a few beads."

Thinking of her deceased grandma, the girl's eyes were slightly red.

This may be the only relic given to her by the old man, Gu Kai thought to himself.

Taking those amethysts from the opponent's hand, Gu Kai looked down at them.

These amethyst polished beads are a lighter purple color, very uniform in color and bands of color can be observed inside, this is an extremely high quality natural amethyst.

"Yes." Gu Kai said, "What kind of chain do you want?"

The girl took out her phone, and showed Gu Kai a few pictures.

"It probably looked like this before...Well, let me send you the photo, and you can do it like this, you don't need to do it exactly the same."

"I've seen your jewelry and have confidence in your aesthetic, so you can be free."

The two became friends, and the girl sent the photo to Gu Kai.

Looking at the bracelet in the picture, Gu Kai fell into deep thought and began to think about how to make this bracelet.

"Your bracelet..."

The girl suddenly noticed the bracelet on Gu Kai's left wrist, and said with a smile, "It's so special and beautiful, did you design it yourself?"

Gu Kai put away his left hand all of a sudden.

"Well, but this one's not for sale."

The girl blinked, guessed something, and asked narrowly, "A couple?"

"..." Gu Kai frowned slightly, "Yes."

But it's already broken up, and he hasn't taken off the bracelet yet.

However, this bracelet needs someone else to take it for him, and he can't take it with one hand.

It's really troublesome, Gu Kai suddenly regretted why he made such a strange design in the first place.

Seeing Gu Kai's reluctance to talk further, the girl didn't ask any further questions.

After the two negotiated the price and pick-up date, the girl planned to leave.

But when she got to the door, she saw the ginkgo tree again, and she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is this a ginkgo?"

"Yes." Gu Kai agreed indifferently.

"Not many people grow ginkgo indoors." The girl turned to look at Gu Kai, "How did you think of growing ginkgo?"

"..." Gu Kai felt that he was at odds with this girl, "Because she is pretty."

He answered somewhat bluntly.

The girl blinked, feeling that Gu Kai's service attitude was not as good as what her friend had introduced.

"Oh... so," the girl was not angry, she looked down at the tree, "I like ginkgo too."

"Ginkgo is probably the loneliest creature in the world." She sighed softly.

"Hmm." Gu Kai responded casually, suddenly noticed the second part of the sentence, was taken aback, and raised his head, "The loneliest creature?"

"Yeah." The girl said with a smile, "Isn't this some cold knowledge?"

Gu Kai remembered what Pei Wen said to him one day, and asked:

"Why do you say that?"

The girl explained: "Do you know what category ginkgo belongs to in biology?"

Without waiting for Gu Kai to answer, she continued talking on her own.

"Although ginkgo has different positions in different classification systems, its uniqueness cannot be denied."

"After the abolition of gymnosperms, Ginkgo was listed as a separate Ginkgophylum. There is only one Ginkgophylum under the Ginkgophylum, and there is only one order, one family, and one genus under the Ginkgophylum, which is Ginkgo biloba."

Although Gu Kai has studied biology in middle school, he hasn't touched it for so many years and has already returned all of it to the teacher. He can only roughly understand these terms.

The girl seemed to know that he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Do you know the concept of one?"

"what?"

"Biological classification from large to small is the genus and species of the phyla and genus. We humans are chordates, mammals, primates, hominids, hominids, and Homo sapiens. Reptiles, birds, and amphibians etc. belong to the phylum Chordate."

"If you compare it to ginkgo, it means that all the reptiles and birds are extinct, and only we humans are left."

"Ginkgo's history can be traced back to the Paleozoic Carboniferous period [-] million years ago. It is a living fossil of the plant kingdom. After such a long time, all its close and distant relatives have become extinct, leaving only himself."

The girl turned her head and looked at Gu Kai.

"Isn't that lonely enough?"
