Small Times 3.0 Golden Age

Chapter 4 CHAPTER 03

Chapter 4 CHAPTER 03
Logically speaking, Shanghai in April should be regarded as spring, but the people obviously did not expect that spring can be so hot and disgusting.Perhaps "Ci Hai" should include a word called "Spring Leopard" in addition to Qiuhu.

The sun that hit the head and face exploded on the face like a laser, and through the sunglasses, you can see the crackling sparks on the face of every passerby.All the green trees fell down, blown by the typhoon, and also by the turbulent waves of people-at this moment, Shanghai feels like the population of the whole world has gathered. It is obvious that the "World Expo" will only open in May, but at this moment it is already There are countless people from all walks of life who come here for the name, speaking birdsong in various squares, and they seem to enjoy standing on the Nanpu Bridge to look at the site of the World Expo, which is still surrounded by scaffolding.Shanghai at the moment feels like a big bathhouse on the weekend, full of heat waves and steam, and the smell of sweat in the breath that makes people want to cut their throats. It feels like someone threw a long-haired bathhouse. The salt is in your mouth.

And in a remote memorial hall far away from the city center, a funeral is being held at the moment.

In the open space outside the funeral, four or five towering trees stood motionless, and the sunlight cast huge black shadows behind them, sticking tightly to the concrete floor like ghosts, looking indifferent and sad.

In the empty hall, there is an extremely exquisite mourning hall, and all relatives and guests are dressed in black.The female guests are okay, they can wear black gauze and black satin dresses and skirts. Although it is hot, it is still within the barely bearable range.But male guests are more troubled, black shirts and black suits, neck is also strangled by a black tie, the surrounding light from all directions is absorbed by the black cloth, this feeling is actually the same as being thrown into an incinerator There is no big difference between people. You can ignite them by scratching a chopstick on their black suits with bitter hatred.It can be seen from the bitter and bitter faces of the male guests that if they stood for a while longer, several mourning halls would have to be set up at the scene.

Gu Lima stood at the end of the line, staring at the portrait, which was not a photo but a portrait.The artist drew the deceased's frown tightly, and the shadow of the nasolabial folds was deep, making him look older. If the neat short Victoria Beckham-style hair were removed, he would look exactly like Gu Yansheng when he was young. It was carved out of a mold.

Gu Li's mother, Lin Yilan, was frowning at the moment, with a sad face, but her eyeballs were rolling around, as if she had a dark heart and lacked confidence.At this moment, the phone in her black Lady Dior handbag buzzed and vibrated, she quietly left the line, hid in a corner to answer the phone, and whispered furtively: "Gu Li! Are you human? ? You won’t attend your aunt’s funeral either, she and your father came out of the womb together!”

"Yeah, but after my dad got out, she got out after seven years! How can we say we are together? You have to be realistic and don't exaggerate. One mu of land can't produce ten thousand catties of wheat. You can’t drill out a baby whose umbilical cord is still stuck to the placenta and a red scarf in the first grade of elementary school who can buy soy sauce and MSG at the same time.” Gu Li’s shrill voice, like a mouse spirit, was amplified from Lin Yilan’s mobile phone microphone, in the open space. In the mourning hall, it was like the broadcast from the neighbor’s house in the middle of the night fluttering back and forth. Lin Yilan covered the microphone, looked up at the portrait of Gu Yansheng’s younger sister Gu Yanqing, and felt her frown deepened...

"Gu Li, thanks to your aunt who has been so kind to you since childhood, the dead are the most important. Usually, she invites us to her house for dinner and tea. You don't have to go, and you don't come to her funeral. It's not justified, right?!" Lin Yilan hid in a further corner, whispering into the phone like a thief, but her tone was full of anger and righteousness.

"Mom, let me say it again, you have to be realistic. My aunt treats me well? I even forget what she looks like. I only saw her once when I was a child, and that was during the Chinese New Year at my grandpa's house. Wei Wei only said a word to me: "Gu Li, let my sister eat first. Do you understand? Have you ever heard of Kong Rong giving pears? You should study more like your sister." Then she took my hand very calmly. I snatched the chocolate from the bag and stuffed it into my cousin’s mouth. You said she was shameless? And my cousin was as dark as a silkie at that time, and she gave her chocolate to eat, don’t you know what to eat? Hei! How bad do you think her conscience is? Snow White's mother is not so cruel." Gu Li's voice broke the silence of the mourning hall, resounding through the sky.

Looking at Gu Yanqing's portrait, the law lines are bottomless and gloomy.

Gu Li rolled his eyes at the nurse who was putting on her a blue sterilizing coat, and continued to say to the phone: "Also, Mom, I said you care so much about a dead person, can't you care about me? You My daughter is still lying in the hospital, and now there is a big sister who is putting on a blue coat for me. Have you seen the clothes that are buttoned from the back? I am like a peanut now, as long as you work hard, you can Peel it in half. And the material of this dress is too anti-human. To describe it, it is similar to that worn by Gu Yanqing who is lying in the coffin now. It is made of material that can be directly pushed into the iron box and burned .Why don't you care about me?"

I looked at the pimple-faced little sister next to Gu Li who was called "big sister" by Gu Li. She obviously couldn't breathe.I understand her very well. Most people have this reaction when they hear Gu Li speak for the first time. After a long time, they will become immune, just like a toad thrown into a pot of cold water. During the process of simmering on a low fire, it will naturally not panic. Now, you will learn how to soak in hot springs.The longer I stay with Gu Li, the more I can appreciate this kind of language art that is better at using others than myself.Nan Xiang and I have been immersed in the art world of novels since we were young, and we have been influenced by great writers all over the world, but we can't grasp such a superb textural quality.As for Gu Li, an illiterate like Tang Wanru in a certain sense (because she only reads numbers and financial magazines, and her head hurts when she reads novels), she can spit out arsenic with a brilliant tongue, which has to be attributed to talent.

"Maybe it's a bit presumptuous, but," the expression on Gu Li's face was not presumptuous at all, it was very natural, and after hanging up the phone, she smiled at the little nurse, looking very beautiful, "I can call you Lucy Is it? This is more convenient for you and me, because I am not very good at remembering names."

Well, here we go again.This should be the 127th Lucy that has appeared in her life.There are countless Lucys in her life, the aunt in the convenience store downstairs, the middle-aged woman who walks the dog at the gate of the community every day, the little girl next door who wears two big braids and rides a BMW to school every day, and the female worker who weeds the community. It's all Lucy.The 126th should be a new intern female college student who came to their department last week. When the female college student gave her the advertising budget for review on the first day, Gu Li looked at the new face and said, "Lucy, today is your first... Let's go to work every day, how do you feel?" The female college student said, "My name is Ella..."

"I'm sorry, but," Gu Li's expression was not apologetic at all, she looked at the budget report without raising her head, "please print all the documents you give me in the future, Lucy? "

Ella: "...OK."

In fact, there was a network engineer named Ma Xiong in the company's computer engineering department who was responsible for repairing Gu Li's computer. Gu Li once tried to call him Lucy, but because the other party was too strong, muscular, thick-haired and had a deep voice. Like a drum, in the end Gu Li still didn't go against the sky.

Gu Li got off the hospital bed and looked at herself wrapped in a blue sterilized coat awkwardly in the mirror on the wall. I helped her take the physical examination form hanging in front of the hospital bed, and then picked up her precious one. CHANEL bag, accompanied her to the attending doctor's office.Although her face is as thin as a palm, she is skinny and wears a hospital gown, but she walks like flying and is as light as a swallow. She stepped on GUCCI's awl high-heeled shoes and twisted her waist. A (nervous) patient who escaped from the hospital by taking advantage of the power of returning to light.Her speed was so fast that I had the illusion several times that she was speed skating in the hospital, and I chased after her out of breath, as if I was the one lying on the ground with apnea inexplicably a few days ago.

I pushed open the door of the attending doctor, who just started to be questioned by Gu Li.

Gu Li pulled away the chair, sat down, looked around the furnishings in the room like a female spy, glanced at the doctor, and said, "Tell me."

I obviously saw the doctor shivering, I guess I have never seen such an arrogant patient.Holding the medical records, he sat very upright, like a graduate student giving a report to a professor.I have to admit that Gu Li is born with an aura that makes people easily lose their armor and armor when facing her, wishing to take off their cotton wool pants.

"Well, there are several types of apnea, one is sleep apnea syndrome, but you were working at the time, so we can't think that you are sleeping..." The doctor looked at the medical record in his hand, seriously And read it hard.

Gu Li raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes: "Otherwise? Can you rehearse when you're asleep? Can you make a phone call while wearing high heels while you're asleep? You can send a text message to remind the other party after you're asleep when you've sent a fax." The fax has been sent, please check it'Huh?"

Amid a series of dense bursts of machine gun bullets, the doctor blushed, swallowed, and continued: "The second condition is central apnea, such as those with Encephalitis or anesthesia overdose, etc..."

Gu Li brought her slapped face with no makeup in front of the doctor: "Master, you overdose on anesthesia, can you still rehearse? Can you still wear high heels on the phone? Can you still..."

The doctor's eyes became moist, and he held on firmly to the scene, and continued: "The third situation is the apnea phenomenon caused by the sudden shock of the human body." The doctor wiped his sweat, "Our preliminary diagnosis is because You are thin and have low blood pressure. Your blood sugar is already too low. In addition, you have stayed up all night before, and you have a retaliatory shock sleep state..."

"Retaliatory shock sleep state?...You mean, the reason why I suddenly fell to the ground in full view of everyone is because..." Gu Li seemed to be thinking about what the doctor said, his eyes rolling around "...I suddenly fell asleep?" Obviously, Gu Li really couldn't accept such an explanation. In my opinion, she would rather suffer from some kind of disease than because of such embarrassing reasons.

I wanted to laugh at the side, but I didn't dare, because I was afraid that Gu Li would retaliate and let me fall asleep.

Just as I was holding back my laughter, my phone rang.Before I could answer it, Gu Li's phone rang.

——OK, I'll be right back.

——OK, I'll be right back.

We both shouted at the phone in unison.

"Has Voldemort summoned you too?" Gu Li hung up the phone and looked at me and said.

"No, Voldemort asked his Death Eater Kitty to summon me, and he didn't bother to call me himself."

"Anyway, let's get back to work quickly, because he sounds anxious, and it feels like our building was attacked by King Kong, or someone put a tank of live fish on his desk." Gu Li stood up from the chair and shook his shoulders.

"Yeah, I remember the last Wenchuan earthquake, when the whole office building shook and everyone in the company was screaming, he was still sitting calmly by the window, holding a cup of coffee, looking like he was about to fall asleep. "I recalled the indifference of Gong Ming's out-of-body feeling all the time.

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu, are you leaving now?" The doctor saw the two of us getting up and preparing to leave, and stopped Gu Li.

"Otherwise? I stayed in your hospital for two days, and every day I was infused with a pile of sometimes transparent and sometimes translucent liquid. Before that, there was a bag of purple things that looked like blueberry juice. I didn't even ask. I haven't settled the score with you yet—then tell me now that the reason I stopped breathing was that I suddenly 'fell asleep'!" Gu Li crossed his hips and struck like a compass in front of the doctor.

"Miss Gu, we suggest that you still have an in-depth physical examination. You are very weak and too thin. You can see that your friend is much healthier than you, and your workload is also very heavy. We recommend that you do a full body check."

"This uncle, this friend of mine," Gu Li stretched out his finger and pointed at me, "She is called healthy? Is this called obesity? Can someone who can't squat down after wearing a pair of size S jeans How healthy? How healthy is a person who can make the pointer almost turn a circle by standing on the scale? To be a person, you have to be realistic. You should stop making trouble when you are old. I've been in your hospital for two days, I'll come back for a full body check when I have time, I really have to go now. If I can't rush back to the company quickly, I'm afraid I'll have to stop breathing again—use The most popular vocabulary at the moment is 'suspended', understand sir?" After finishing speaking, Gu Li said to the little nurse standing behind him: "Sister, give me my clothes, by the way Call me a car at the door."

The little nurse blushed and turned away in embarrassment like a peanut that was suddenly peeled off.Her back looks particularly weak.

What I especially admire about Gu Li is that she can treat everyone around her like Lucy very naturally.Once when she was in a meeting at the company, she was looking down at the meeting materials in front of her, and then she pushed the empty coffee cup towards Gong Ming on her right hand side very naturally: "Pour me a cup of coffee", and put it down. For a second, the entire meeting room froze, and there was no sound. Three seconds later, Gu Li raised his head, and was also frightened by his actions, especially when he bumped into Gong Ming's two motionless glass balls. Eyeballs without temperature.Fortunately, she had just finished her meal that day and her blood sugar was sufficient, otherwise she would have suffered apnea.

Going down to the hospital lobby, Gu Yuan in a neat suit walked up to him.Both he and Gu Li have this kind of ability. On a hot day, they can wear a well-fitting professional suit without getting too hot, and it seems that it is filled with dry ice, and they can keep whizzing out cold air.He held the settled hospital bill in his hand, checked it up and down, and greeted Gu Li.

Of course, he ignored me.He looks at me like he looks at a fire hydrant hanging on the wall.No one greeted the fire hydrant, except Tang Wanru who was drunk.

Gu Li was a little embarrassed, she slightly turned her eyes away to avoid meeting my gaze.

Ever since Gu Li stopped breathing in the studio and was sent to the hospital that day because of "suddenly falling asleep", Gu Yuan and I have been in such embarrassment.

Gu Yuan took care of his girlfriend and accompanied her day and night as a matter of course.Since high school, he has been a model boyfriend around us, and there is absolutely nothing to say about this.When Gu Li fell asleep, he still sat carefully and quietly on the edge of the hospital bed and read financial magazines. Every hour, like an alarm clock, he gently lifted the quilt and stroked the cold back of Gu Li's hand with needles stuck in it. Check for swelling of the back of the hand caused by infusion leakage.When I walked into the room quietly in the morning, I could also see that the bed next to Gu Li was empty. Gu Yuan did not sleep on it, but moved a chair and sat beside Gu Li's bed, holding Gu Li's hand. Gu Li's hand, as long as Gu Li moves, he can wake up.The sun caressed his iceberg-like indifferent face, and the sharp edges and corners reflected hot tenderness, shining brightly, like boiling soup.

During the two days when Gu Li was hospitalized, I acted as her personal courier.

Because she and Gu Yuan have been full-time pacesetters since college days.It is absolutely impossible for the two of them to miss class, unless they have more important things, such as Gu Yuan has to go to a business party held by their home, where he can learn about 500 lessons of intrigues and scuffles in the business world that cannot be learned (…).Or take Gu Li for example, she made an appointment with Portman's well-known high-end spa in Shanghai (...).

Therefore, Gu Li's advanced single ward became the new office location for the two of them.The two of them spread their notebooks on the hospital bed, the blue lights of the two 3G network cards flashed non-stop, and the whole room was filled with the sounds of "ding", "ding", "ding" when they finished sending and receiving E-mail attachments. I feel like I'm in a company pantry at lunchtime with a microwave that sounds exactly like this one.Of course, their never-ending calls are also eternal.

And I, as mentioned above, play the role of courier, bringing the documents that Gong Ming needs to hand over to Gu Li and Gu Yuan from the company to them, and then bring back to the company the documents they sorted out that need to be signed by Gong Ming. To Gong Ming.

During this period, I stayed in the ward, listening to the two of them typing on the keyboard like two automatic typewriters, and occasionally carrying Gu Li's drip bag in the middle, and accompanied her to the toilet-this is Gu Li The only thing Yuan asked me to do was because he couldn't walk into the women's room dignifiedly, although I believe that the female compatriots in the toilet would not necessarily object, because he was very handsome.Except for going to the bathroom, he wouldn't let me do anything else, serving tea and water, ordering meals, holding my back, kissing and caressing (...), he served him exceptionally well like an old British aristocratic butler.

But he never talked to me.

This kind of cold war that doesn't show the mountains and doesn't show the water is about to lift my celestial cap.

So, while Gu Li was changing clothes, I looked at Gu Yuan and summoned up the courage to say, "Gu Yuan."

He ignored me.

Of course he ignored me, and he even tapped loudly on the keyboard a few times provocatively.

What am I expecting?He lowered his head and continued to look at the colorful forms on the laptop screen. Of course I knew he did it on purpose. He sneered at me with his indifference and pretended to be deaf. After decades of crawling and rolling, I have never eaten pork or seen pigs running, I snatched the colorful receipts from his hand: "Gu Yuan, I'm talking to you!"

He raised his head, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, like cold rain streaking across the gloomy lake, he slanted the corner of his mouth, with a half-smile: "You called me?"

"Of course I called you. I called you twice. Do you need to register with the ENT department? I'll help you go to the queue." I suppressed the anger of the past few months in my heart.

"Do you know, Lin Xiao?" Gu Yuan looked at me indifferently. The intense light at noon came from the French windows of the hospital behind him, making his shadow black and pressing heavily on me. His face was backlit. It was swallowed until only a cold outline remained, "I don't even bother to quarrel with you."

"So, what's the situation now?" I was so excited that I grinned sneer, I was not alone, I felt as if I was possessed by Gu Li's soul at this moment, "Just because Jian Xi broke up with me, I Will it become your father-killing enemy? Are we going to die together?"

"You read too many romance novels," Gu Yuan said, still very calm.The calmer he is, the uglier it is to set off my agitation.My fire burned another three feet. "First of all, Jian Xi and I are friends. When you were his girlfriend, you naturally became my friend. Now that you have broken up, I have the right to choose not to be your friend anymore. Is there any problem?"

I narrowed my eyes: "No problem. But now Gu Li and I are friends, and you are her boyfriend now, so in the current situation, do you have to froze the scene every time to be happy? Do you think you Every time I lose my face, am I the only one who is embarrassed? Is it just me who is slapped transparently by you? You are wrong, and there is Gu Li. While you are torturing me, you are also torturing her. And you are so at ease. "I suddenly thought of something, and I had a flash of inspiration, "Oh, yes, maybe you don't feel at ease, so you care about her in every possible way to make up for the sins in your heart, pretending to stay in front of her hospital bed. Lie down, if you don’t drink any water, you will come up with tricks one after another.” After saying these words, I was terrified.I feel very much like Gu Li at this moment.I moved the bag to my chest, ready to pick it up for self-defense at any time, because Gu Yuan's face was already flushed, and his scalp was tense, causing his hair to stand up one by one, looking like his head was provoked Mao's lion, I feel like he might hit me at any moment.

Sure enough, he stretched out his fist and grabbed my collar: "Do you know that I once lined up with Jianxi all night just to buy you a pair of limited edition sneakers as a birthday present?"

I sneered lightly, and said to him: "Then do you know what I did to reconcile you and Gu Li? You want to start with this, talk about it, Gu Yuan, I I can only say that you are courting death."

I tilted my head, and a warm tear rolled from my proud and cold face and hit the back of his hand. His face froze, obviously a bit surprised.When it comes to "crying", Nan Xiang and I are both very talented.A woman's most powerful weapon against a man is always tears. Isn't the Great Wall built by tens of thousands of passionate men in China with their flesh and blood, still collapsed by that weak woman Meng Jiangnu?Use softness to overcome rigidity, and water will flow forever. Gu Li needs to learn from us in this respect.

Gu Yuan let go of his hand slightly: "I just feel worthless for Jian Xi! I have been with you for so many years, and then what? But now, you are still smiling every day, wearing nice clothes, wandering around in the feasting In other occasions, continue to attract bees and butterflies. I really underestimated you, Lin Xiao."

"Then what do I want to make you happy? Lock yourself up at home every day, get drunk, throw up on the toilet, then go to work in a daze, and then get fired by the boss, and come home crying and shouting that you will hang yourself. Turn out all the Miehui Ling and drink it like coffee, so you are satisfied? Who do you think you are? Batman? You can’t sleep if the bad guys are not punished, right? You are so hard-hearted, you go to bed in the middle of the night Go catch the thief in the street, you!" I looked straight into his beautiful eyes, it was these eyes that fascinated Gu Li, so fascinated that I turned a blind eye to the cold reception I received.

Gu Yuan let go of my collar, and the look on his face revealed that he regretted his impulsiveness just now.He should regret it. Whenever a man does something to a woman, he will regret it. Sooner or later.

Just as I was about to say something, I was pulled away and I staggered back a few steps.

I raised my head, and Gu Li stood upright in front of me, leaving me with a back that was as hard and indifferent as a steel plate, but extremely safe.

"Can you two let me go?" Gu Li looked at Gu Yuan coldly, then turned to look at me, "Can you let me go too?"

Gu Yuan didn't say a word, turned around and walked out the door.Then he got into his black car and drove away.

I followed behind Gu Li and wiped away my tears - because I know that tears can only deal with men, not against Gu Li.To deal with Gu Li, you have to hold her thighs tightly and hold her mouth full of sulfuric acid. After that, you will be fine. After that, she will touch your hair again, look at you with distress, and shed blood for you. , as loyal and heroic as Liu Hulan.

Before walking out of the hospital gate, from a long distance, I saw Lan Jue standing tall and straight like a horse waiting for her respectfully at the hospital gate, and it was a tall white horse.

I have liked boys in white shirts since I was a child. Every summer, there are such beautiful boys in white shirts with ambiguous eyes floating on the road. Gu Li and I are always happy, like a festival.We all love this dress that symbolizes purity, safety, cleanliness, and fantasy.And Nan Xiang is different from us, her boyfriend is just the opposite of these adjectives, Xi Cheng always wears ripped jeans, a black T-shirt studded with rivets, long hair, looks a bit decadent or even dirty. With a hawthorn face, the pupils seemed to be hissing like black-red magma, which was cold and boiling.

But thank goodness, this person has disappeared from our lives.Now Nan Xiang's boyfriend is in line with our aesthetics. Wei Hai, this moving marble David, is clean, handsome, and the most important thing is simplicity, and he is a muscular man.

Gu Li and I got into her black Mercedes, Lan Jue opened the door in front, he put on his white gloves neatly, and acted as the driver.He turned around and told Gu Li that the next quarter's advertising budget and sub-items returned by the finance department that she needed to see were all placed in the back seat pockets of the back seat.His voice doesn't sound as delicate as his face, but has a rusty husky, which is really charming.

I looked at Lan Jue's handsome side face and the light grass-like blue circle on his chin, and thought to myself, Neil, this little coquettish hoof, has made money this time.

Back at the company, as soon as the car stopped, Gu Li quickly got out of the car and got into the office building. Before I could talk to her, she disappeared in the reflection of the glass.

I went back to my cubicle, cleaned up the things that I had piled up on the desktop, and then looked at the text message Kitty sent me. Going to the restaurant, after a whole morning of tossing around, I need to replenish some energy - the ghost knows what will happen in the afternoon, anyway, judging from Gong Ming's life-threatening series of calls to everyone, the matter will not be small.

I sat by the window, flipping through my work memo, while waiting for my order to arrive.With the sound of jingling and pushing the door, I raised my head, and Nan Xiang's delicate side face like a lotus flower came into my eyes, and I waved: "Nan Xiang! Here!"

Nan Xiang turned around and saw me, obviously surprised, then walked towards me, pulled the chair opposite me and sat down.

"Why are you here?" I asked Nan Xiang.

"The assistant job at the art exhibition held by "ME" that you introduced to me, you applied for the job today, did you forget?" Nan Xiang looked at me with slightly complaining eyes, and took the menu handed over by the waiter.

"Ah? Is it today? I've forgotten about it. I thought it would be a few days." I rubbed my temples. I've been busy taking care of Gu Li these days, and the hospital and the company are running around. I'm exhausted. "However, didn't you interview for a job before this, and it seems to be related to our company, right? How about that, any news?"

"Don't mention that. It's unreliable." Nan Xiang ordered chicken noodles in clear soup, and a glass of honey water. After thinking about it, he pushed it down again, "Just give me a glass of water." She put down the menu, Put the bag on the chair next to it, "By the way, how is Gu Li?"

"I just picked her up from the hospital in the morning, and she has already returned to the company. I guess she has sent telegrams, picked up trains, and engaged in machine guns." Thinking of the earth-shattering battles that Gu Li walked into their department every time, I Just a headache.

"Is there any result from today's interview?" I asked.

"It's okay, because I graduated from an art major, and it's just a temporary assistant job. It doesn't need too high requirements. People with too good conditions don't like this job. If the conditions are poor, "ME" definitely doesn't like it. So I think I'm okay. Wait for the call."

"Hmm." I nodded.

As soon as my food was served, the phone rang.Tang Wanru.

"Lin Xiao, I'm downstairs in your company." On the phone, her voice sounded like she was making a movie—don't get me wrong, the threshold for movies has become lower and lower these days, since I was in Westgate that day After seeing Sister Furong on the movie poster in Huanyi Studios, my psychology has been adjusted very well. Even if Baby Annie and Guo Degang co-starred in the movie version of "A Girl Named Wanjun" one day, I would not be surprised ——But I won't buy a ticket either, I still have a conscience in life.

When I heard Tang Wanru's voice, my scalp went numb, and an ominous premonition hit my stomach.

Because every time she calls me, it causes all sorts of disasters in my life.She is like an antonym of a bird of good news, a chicken of bad news.

She called me twice this week: On Monday, she told me in a very ostentatious and ostentatious tone that she had brought a new washing machine from home to test the so-called "Ion Isometric Spray Softening Fabric" and The function of "high-frequency ultraviolet sterilization", "I washed the two crumpled dresses you replaced and threw on the sofa"-the two crumpled dresses were brought back from the company for the second time. I took the Givenchy black chiffon skirt I borrowed to take pictures on location in the early morning. When I lent it to me, the clothing assistant told me repeatedly that I couldn’t get it dirty or ironed, and I had to keep the specially treated folds, because the clothes couldn’t be ironed. wash……

On Thursday, she called me, her tone was excited and full of warmth unique to Shanghai women: "Oh, Lin Xiao, what a coincidence you said, tell me, tell me, it really is, tell me "... After she said "you talk" about a dozen times, my mobile phone showed a call from my mother. When I picked up the interlude, I heard my mother's crying on the phone: "Lin Xiao , I ran into Tang Wanru today, she was going to get her hair cut, and she dragged me to go with her, wow, oh, I'm going to die, that's so powerful, that's what a robbery is. Xiao Xiao, my mother's hairstyle is so ugly now. I don’t know how to describe it”… I switched back to Tang Wanru’s phone call, and before I could open my mouth to ask her what she did to my mother, her chattering voice came from over there, and she didn’t notice it at all. In the middle of the call, I cut the phone to another interrupt, "Lin Xiao, let me tell you, Sassoon's most fashionable hairstyle this year is this, and the bangs are flat! And there are three gradients! The most distinctive feature is that the back of the head is still A piece is missing! From a distance, it looks like a half-open sluice gate!...What are you talking about me? Oh, I don’t have it, this hairstyle is suitable for older people, I just washed my hair and left.” I angrily Hang up on her, then switch back to listening to my mom cry.

A few minutes later, Tang Wanru sat calmly across from Nan Xiang and me. She crossed her orchid fingers, gently pinched the menu with her index finger and thumb, and flipped through the menu page by page, as if admiring a large painting collection of Monet. She shyly ordered a pot of braised pork and beef tongue with scallions, and also ordered a cup of honey water (it should be the old order from Nanxiang before), and frowning weakly said to the waiter: "Please don't drink honey water." Put sugar, I don't like to drink sweet things."

waiter:"……"

Tang Wanru completely ignored the embarrassment on the waiter's face, she turned her head and looked at Nan Xiang and me.Although she has always maintained her delicate and elegant movements, she has a neat ponytail tied on her head, which is so tight that it makes her temples shine. Moreover, she is wearing a white vest, and the lines of her arm muscles are exposed in the sun. Shining brightly, it looks like a worker who has just delivered bottled water from an office building.

As soon as the waiter left, Tang Wanru's expression suddenly changed from a graceful and luxurious lady to a female spy in "007", and she suddenly became sneaky.

She looked at me, then at Nan Xiang, leaned an elbow away from the table, and said softly to me: "Lin Xiao, can I take a step to talk?" She felt like a female assassin in a martial arts movie.

I want to splash honey water on her face.

I put down my chopsticks and lost my appetite: "Which dynasty are you from? Did you just come here on horseback? Are you not used to so many traffic lights in Shanghai? There is not much grass on the curbs. I want to help you." Is the horse called a water spinach?"

"I'm telling you something serious!" Tang Wanru glared at me, then at Nan Xiang.

"Just tell me what you want. This is Nanxiang, and there are no outsiders. Is there any secret between the few of us? We all know that you have a birthmark that looks like Mickey Mouse on the inner thigh, so there is nothing else we can't say ?”

Nan Xiang was drinking white water beside him, and was eating noodles with his head down. It was obvious that she didn't want to hear it.

Tang Wanru sat back on the chair, took a deep breath, and said, "Zhou Chongguang is not dead, is he?"

As if Nan Xiang and I were scalded by boiling water, we suddenly raised our heads. I can guarantee that my pupils must have flashed wildly like flames when a hurricane blows. I even accidentally heard Nan Xiang's back stiffen. There was a clicking sound from the spine.

"And he is that model now, Lu Shao." Tang Wanru looked at me very seriously, "Is that right?"

Gu Li sat down in his office.

Breathing the recirculated air from the crisp office air conditioner (…), she felt alive again.While drinking the charcoal coffee she bought from Japan, which claims to contain gold leaf ore powder, she flipped through the documents for the exhibition preparation sent by the planning department on her desk at the moment. Flipping through, she saw the The moving and enchanting soul-calling banners flying endlessly in front of you - Nanxiang.

I was looking at Tang Wanru who was opposite me, not knowing how to answer her.Her questioning just now was like a bloody murder weapon, and now she handed it to me, and she only gave me two ways to go: either explain clearly to prove my innocence, or stab her to death and kill her to silence her.

During the ten or so seconds when my nerves were short-circuited, Gu Li's phone came in.

Thankfully, I found a savior.However, after I picked up the phone, I understood that the savior did come, but it was to hit the earth.

"You introduced Nan Xiang to our company for an interview?" Gu Li's tone sounded obviously angry on the other side of the phone.

"Yes, Nan Xiang is just looking for a job. I saw that the company is hiring a short-term assistant during the art exhibition. I think Nan Xiang originally studied art, and the art exhibition is also a help for her. She can get in touch with more People in this industry..."

I was interrupted by Gu Li before I finished speaking—in fact, I wanted to say more, because I wanted to buy more time to think about how to face Tang Wanru who was sitting across from me like a Buddha , Gu Li said to me angrily: "Oh, is that so? You mean Nan Xiang asked you for help? You are very capable, Lin Xiao." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone with a snap.

I was hung up inexplicably, looked up at Nan Xiang, she waved the chopsticks in her hand at me, indicating that she was also confused.

As soon as my phone was disconnected, Nan Xiang's phone rang.It's Gu Li.

"Did you come to our company to apply for a job today?" From Nan Xiang's phone call, I could hear Gu Li's sharp voice as if he had a blade in his mouth.

"Gu Li, I'm with Lin Xiao. We're having lunch. I heard you when you called her just now. What's the matter? Is there a problem?" And he answered in a pleasant tone.I know she's careful not to mess with Mo Guli - although neither of us knows what kind of madness she's going through.

"I'm in charge of this project. Why don't you come to me for help?"

"I didn't know you were in charge. For God's sake, how could I know that you were in charge?" Nan Xiang held his forehead, put the phone on the table, pressed the speakerphone, and yelled at me She winked, and then continued to say to the phone, "I don't even know what you're angry with. Besides, I didn't ask Lin Xiao for help. She just mentioned to me that your company has such a position, so I just Come and give it a try."

"Oh, is that right? That means she took the initiative to help you, that is, she is worried about your life, and I don't care. Is that what you mean?"

Hearing this, I got a clue.I waved my hand to Nan Xiang, meaning to tell her to coax Gu Li and end the call as soon as possible. I knew why Gu Li was angry.

Just as Nan Xiang was about to speak, Tang Wanru suddenly leaned over and faced Nan Xiang's phone screen: "Gu Li, I'm here too. The three of us are having lunch at the restaurant downstairs of your company!"

"You sisters have such a good relationship! Qiong Yao wrote "Deep Love and Rain" because she knew the three of you back then! I wish you a happy lunch!" Gu Li hung up the phone viciously.

I gave Tang Wanru a blank look.I don't want to answer her.

I looked at Nan Xiang's expression, and I knew she must have understood.

Gu Li is always like this, always has a sense of mission in his bones to be responsible for everyone's life.For example, in terms of Nan Xiang’s job search, if Nan Xiang must ask for help, then this person must be Gu Li, if this person is not Gu Li, then at least this person cannot be someone like me who is less capable than Gu Li , even if Nanxiang really finds someone like me to help, at least the premise is that Gu Li arranges for me to help.

Otherwise, she will feel that we don't need her in our lives.

Just like my golden retriever can suddenly forage for food by itself one day, cut his nails by himself, put on a dog leash and go for a walk in the street. Wandering around the master's feet all the time, the master will definitely be pissed off.

I especially understand Gu Li at this moment.

So I made an appointment with Nan Xiang to go home at night and sing praises to Gu Li, to let her know that she will always be the queen of the one and the only in our hearts.

And my immediate priority is Ruru who is opposite me.

I asked her, "Since when did you know?"

Tang Wanru paused for five seconds, her face became as white as paper, and she answered me word by word: "Just now."

I was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Actually, I guessed it before." Tang Wanru drank a big sip of water, as if trying to calm down his emotions, "I saw that popular model come to pick you up in our community that morning, and your behavior was very intimate. I understand that you can't be so intimate with a stranger you just met. There are only four men in your life who can do this, Jianxi, Neil, and your dad. The remaining one is Sogo before. But he died. I vaguely felt that his eyebrows and eyes were very similar, so I guessed that. I was actually guessing blindly... I was not sure until you asked me when I knew that the model was Zhou Chongguang."

I found that I underestimated Tang Wanru's IQ.

I underestimated everyone's IQ.

So now I can only sharpen an iron sword and swallow it myself.

"Have you told Gu Li about this?"

"No. I didn't say anything to anyone. I have to ask you first." Tang Wanru resumed her strange tone of voice and eccentricity, her furtive eyes rolled around, "I know this is a serious matter, and we must not startle the enemy. "

"Take your horse and go back!" I was annoyed again.

Gu Li threw the phone on the table, then took out a pen from the pen holder, unscrewed the cap of the pen, and drew a big cross on the page of Nan Xiang in a flying motion.

She pressed the live internal line on the phone and said to the phone: "Lucy, tell the people in the planning department, the temporary assistant of the art exhibition, to hire the girl named Liu Pingshuo with the number A07. Everyone else, please return, don't want it."

Just after finishing speaking, Gu Yuan opened the door and came in: "What do you want from me?" His face was still cold, it was obvious that he hadn't recovered from the confrontation in the hospital.

"Stop making trouble, how old are you?" Gu Li looked at him, his expression sank little by little.She took the remote control for the blinds and covered all the windows, and then she put the phone and intercom on silent mode.She walked to the door and looked at Lanjue's seat outside. There was no one there, and the chair was empty. Then she walked in, turned around and closed the door, pressed the button, and locked it.

"Are you going to make this a secret room and murder me here?" Gu Yuan looked at the nervous Gu Li, his face softened, he made a joke, trying to make Gu Li tense into a violin soprano Stringy nerves relax.

Gu Li pulled Gu Yuan over, walked to the sofa and sat down.

She looked at Gu Yuan, there was almost no light in her eyes, which looked like a cold and quiet black liquid: "Gu Yuan, Zhou Chongguang is not dead, he is still alive."

"What did you say?" Gu Yuan's pupils froze with a click.

"Do you still remember the files we saw on Gong Ming's computer when we sneaked into Gong Ming's room that night last year?" Gu Li's face was pale, and the despair flowing in her eyes was without any falsehood or concealment.She is like an iceberg that stood upright ten thousand years ago, and is now falling apart.

"My God..." Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Gu Li's hand, his lips turned blue, "That means, that means..."

Gu Li nodded, and Gu Yuan finally understood what she meant.

They share the same fear that seems to come from the depths of a black nightmare.

This nightmare, from the moment when Gu Li interpreted Chong Guang's soul between Lu Shao's eyebrows in the studio, it burned like a real fire of Samadhi.Even the overwhelming rain cannot extinguish this burning that is destined to be irreversible.She was not vengeful sleep, nor was she in apneic shock.She was just suddenly opened up to Ren Du's second channel, and opened her eyes.

She saw through a bloody ritual shrouded in black smoke.

All the windows are shut.

All curtains are drawn tight.

Can not hear any wind.It seems that all the sounds have been agreed together, and the wonderful prologue of this scene is absent.

Spring is finally over.

The heat wave began to thrive in every inch of the city without any scruples, and swelled wildly.

There is no doubt that every trace of heat will eventually converge into a disaster, and the explosion will tear into a boundless sea of ​​flames.Devour heaven and earth, devour you and me, devour dreams and nightmares, devour flowers and snakes.

Just like the Big Bang at the beginning, from the size of a needle point, it collapsed into a boundless void with a bang.

The future is a vast black ashes.

Burn it.
