it's dark, coax me

When Gu Xiu woke up the next day, it was almost nine o'clock, Zhou Xing on the side of the bed was gone, the sheets were not even neat, as if someone had been lying there, everything yesterday was as if it had never happened.

The rain outside the window had already stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.

When Gu Xiu washed up and walked to the hall, he found that several people had already woken up. At this time, several people had already had breakfast, and they seemed to be ready to leave.

They still have things to do. Yesterday, they were delayed all night due to mudslides. Now that the road is open, it is natural to hurry.

After seeing off a few people, Zhou Xing called Gu Xiu to sit down, and brought him the hot breakfast that had been kept on the table.

After breakfast, Zhou Xing said, "I just read the weather forecast and said that the next few days will be sunny, do you want to go for a walk?"

When Gu Xiu heard that he was going out, he became a little interested and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you want to catch snails?"

Gu Xiu always felt that Zhou Xing's words seemed to be a bit of a joke, but he still nodded.

"Do you like bamboo forest?"

Zhou Xing asked again.

"like."

"Then I'll take you to Longtan in the Bamboo Sea."

"Bamboo Sea Dragon Pond?"

"Well, it's a scenic spot here. There are stretches of bamboo forests and a small waterfall. I don't know who came up with the name, but everyone calls it that."

Gu Xiu followed suit and nodded.

Speaking of which, when he first came here, he wanted to travel, but he didn't expect that he broke his leg on the first day he came here, and he has been recuperating for the rest of the time. Apart from this time, he never went to any other place.

After Zhou Xing finished talking to Gu Xiu, he sent a message to Qian Jing.

The Bamboo Sea Longtan side has been artificially repaired, and the road is still relatively easy to walk, but Gu Xiu has not fully recovered yet, so it is safer to use a wheelchair under such circumstances.

The last time they had a dinner together, Qian Jing had inadvertently told Zhou Xing that his family had a wheelchair that his father had used when he was injured, and that if Gu Xiu needed it, he could bring it here for him to use.

During this period of time, Gu Xiu has become more proficient in using crutches. He didn't need them in the first place, but now he can use them when he goes out to play.

After Qian Jing received Zhou Xing's message, he replied [no problem], and asked after a while, "how about me and Zhang Hui going with you?"Zhang Hui said that she hadn't been there for a long time and wanted to go too. 】

Zhou Xing told Gu Xiu about this matter, and now Gu Xiu was not as resistant to Qian Jing and the others as he was at the beginning, and said, "Okay."

Zhou Xing directly replied to Qian Jing with the word "Xing".

The news from Qian Jing soon came again, 【What time shall we go?Have a picnic outside at noon?Do I need to bring some more food? 】

Zhou Xing was about to reply when his cell phone rang suddenly, it was the call from the courier collection point.

Zhou Xing answered the phone a few times, then hung up the phone and looked at Gu Xiu: "Your courier is here, shall I pick it up for you?"

Logically speaking, Gu Xiu's courier should take him with him, but it rained until four o'clock in the morning, and there is still a lot of water on the road at the moment, Zhou Xing doesn't want Gu Xiu to go out in this situation. .

Gu Xiu didn't think too much, and nodded after hearing what Zhou Xing said.

It took several days to arrive, and the express delivery here is really not ordinary slow.

Zhou Xing changed his clothes, and said before going out, "I'll be back soon. If you're tired, go back to your room and rest for a while. It's just rained, so don't go on the balcony for fear of catching a cold."

Gu Xiu nodded with a smile, and felt that Zhou Xing's tone of voice seemed to be telling a three-year-old child to pay attention to things when he was alone at home.

Gu Xiu watched Zhou Xing drive away, and then sat back on the sofa.

He took the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea. Looking at the sky outside, he couldn't be sure whether the weather forecast was really accurate. Looking at it like this, he felt that it might not be a sunny day.

After Gu Xiu stared at the sky for a while, he realized that the screen of the phone was on.

He slept with Zhou Xing yesterday, subconsciously turned his cell phone to silent, and didn't realize that someone was calling until now.

Gu Xiu picked up the phone, and the screen displayed Gu Wenlin.

Gu Wenlin, Gu Xiu's genetic father.

There is very little contact between Gu Xiu and him, and he may not be able to make one or two phone calls throughout the year. Gu Xiu can't figure out why he is calling now.

Gu Xiu stared at the phone for a while before answering the call.

"Little Xiu..."

Gu Wenlin has been in the business field all year round, so he unconsciously spoke with a tone of negotiating things with others. At this time, even calling him by his nickname didn't make Gu Xiu feel even a little bit close to him.

Gu Xiu responded and waited for Gu Wenlin to continue talking.

Gu Wenlin's person doesn't really match his name.

Gu Wenlin's parents hoped to cultivate a high-achieving student back then, so they deliberately asked teachers from the same village to give him such an elegant name.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much talent in learning, and he slipped off to start a business after failing to finish high school, failing to satisfy his parents' wish to cultivate a pillar of the country.

But fortunately, there were a lot of opportunities in those years, as long as there were some courageous and hard-working people, most of them would have some bright spots later on, and the same was true for Gu Wenlin.

At the beginning, he really suffered for a few years, but then he gradually got up, founded his own company, bought a car and a house in a big city after he had enough money, and settled down.

The family members saw that he was not young, so they made a blind date for him.

Gu Xiu's mother, Gong Lihua, was a rare college student in those days, and became a teacher after graduation. In the eyes of the older generation, she was already the best daughter-in-law, especially satisfying their desire for a higher education. think.

Although Gu Wenlin was not very satisfied with the marriage at that time, he still agreed to the marriage under the pressure of his parents and stepped into the palace of marriage.

But who would have thought that after only one year of marriage, Gu Wenlin cheated on Gong Lihua when she was pregnant.

He finally met the woman who moved his heart. Although the other party's education was not as good as Gong Lihua's, she was young, exquisite, beautiful, fashionable, gentle and considerate, and almost met all the expectations of a man for the lover of his dreams, so he resisted for her. Despite the pressure of her parents, she abandoned her wife and son.

Gong Lihua is the wife who was abandoned by him, and Gu Xiu is the son who was abandoned by him.

After that, Gu Wenlin asked, "Have you watched TV recently?"

"No."

Gu Xiu didn't have the habit of watching TV, even if he watched it on weekdays, he was watching movies.

Gu Wenlin didn't care about Gu Xiu's answer, and just continued: "Your brother won the finals today, and won the championship of Takeoff Brain. It's really amazing!"

When Gu Wenlin said this, the pride and joy in his words could hardly be hidden.

Gu Xiu took a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

He looked at the flickering light on the cigarette butt, and said casually, "Congratulations."

"Your younger brother has also received an invitation from the American Whitehall Dhamkosen Institute, and he is planning to go to the United States in half a month."

He had already said the word 'Congratulations' just now, so Gu Xiu didn't speak again at this moment.

In fact, he didn't know what kind of attitude he should use to face his father's excellent son.

Fortunately, Gu Wenlin didn't expect Gu Xiu to be so affectionate.

Seeing that there was no response from Gu Xiu, he continued, "Your brother is leaving soon. The family wants to hold a banquet before he leaves to celebrate together. It just so happens that he won the championship, so it is even more worth celebrating. You I haven't been home for more than a year, but this time I will come back together and have a family reunion."

"I'm busy and won't go back. Please convey my congratulations for me."

Gu Wenlin's voice sank a bit, "You are busy all day long, and you don't have to go to work. How busy can you be? Are you busier than me?"

Gu Wenlin realized that his tone was not very good. He softened his tone and said, "When and where do you write the book? How can you not even have the time to go home? No, you can bring your computer back, so you can't delay it." You have a few days."

"No..."

Gu Xiu hadn't finished speaking when a female voice replaced the phone, "Xiaoxiu, come back and have a look when you have time, your younger siblings miss you, and you haven't come back for more than a year, your dad always talks You think of you, you have to understand your father, don't be so ignorant..."

Gu Wenlin followed along and said, "I'm just ignorant, I'm almost 30 years old, every day..."

The cigarette in Gu Xiu's hand had burned out before he knew it, and his hand was burned. He threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and sneered.

The voice of the woman over there is still ringing, "You come back and let's have a family gathering together. I will cook for you..."

Gu Xiu interrupted the woman's words, "What are you doing for me? Do you know what I like to eat?"

She has always liked to do face-saving, no matter how much she dislikes him or looks down on him secretly, she will always look friendly on the surface, and look like a bowl of water is flat, especially in front of Gu Wenlin.

Gu Xiu has been used to seeing her like this since high school, and she once forced him not to go home before Gu Wenlin came home.

Now, he finally tore her face apart.

Gu Xiu lowered his head, obviously he had already pretended that all was well, obviously he had already done enough face-saving work, and said 'congratulations', why should he be forced?

Force him to see how glamorous that person is, and let him see how miserable he is?

Isn't the comparison from small to large, and the crushing from small to large enough?

Gu Xiu lit a cigarette again.

He knows how miserable he is, and he doesn't need others to remind him.
