Chapter 124 Insomnia
She couldn't think of anyone who would make such a joke with herself.She took a deep breath, and just about to speak, the man said again: "I'm very sorry for disturbing you, please don't make it difficult for me, you should accept this flower anyway, so that I can go back to work."

He probably knew that this was too much, so he took a step back.

Compared to being followed by someone holding flowers, Gu Shi'an is naturally more willing to accept flowers.Without saying a word, she took the flowers from the man's hand.

The man still kept his word, bowed slightly to her, turned and left.

Gu Shi'an was a little at a loss holding a bouquet of flowers. Flowers are innocent, but she threw them into the trash can without turning around.After a slight pause, he went to eat with Xiao Wang.

It was past ten o'clock when we got home, Gu Shi'an lay on the bed after washing and couldn't fall asleep.She pondered for a long time, but she couldn't think of anyone who would send her flowers.

She still didn't have a clue, she simply didn't think about it, and forced herself to close her eyes.

She had some insomnia during this time, even though she was lying on the bed.But still didn't fall asleep until more than one o'clock in the morning.

She got up very early the next day.It was still early before work, so she made breakfast.

When I went out, it was the same as usual, but when I got downstairs, I saw Chen Xiao's car parked downstairs.She was stunned for a moment, and before she could move, Chen Xiao opened the door and got out of the car.

He hadn't been seen since leaving the temple in the middle of the night that night.Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was doing here, so he didn't move for a while.

Chen Xiao didn't come over, he opened the car door as if nothing had happened, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to work."

Gu Shi'an was even more puzzled by his appearance.With his character, after he slammed the door that night, seeing her now, he should have a dark face instead of being nonchalant.

Gu Shi'an quickly looked away, looked down at the fallen leaves on the ground, and said, "No, just talk here if you have something to say."

Chen Xiao raised his wrist to check the time, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to work?" It was rare for him to be considerate of others.

She is holding out the door a little bit, if she delays, she will definitely be late.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.

"Get in the car, don't worry, I can't eat you." He kept looking at Gu Shi'an.Standing by the car door did not move.

It was time to go to work, and there were people coming in and out of the corridor from time to time.Standing like this is undoubtedly conspicuous.Gu Shi'an didn't bother him too much and got into the car.

Chen Xiao quickly got into the car from the other side, and when Gu Shian fastened his seat belt and raised his head, he realized that there was some breakfast on the side.

Chen Xiao didn't look at her, but put his fist on his lips and coughed, and said, "Eat it, I brought it for you on the way."

"No, I've already eaten." Gu Shi'an replied, looking sideways out of the window.

At this time, there are many people going to work, some cars occupy the road, and some cars make U-turns.It took a while to go out in the community.

Chen Xiao kept silent, waiting for the car to get out, and then Gu Shi'an said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Xiao cleared his throat again, and said in a soft voice: "It's okay, I came here specially to see you off to work. Daughter-in-law, don't make trouble. Come home with me. I don't have you at home, so I'll go back to the deserted place." I'm not used to it, I haven't slept well for many days."

He made a pitiful look.Pointing to his eyes again, he continued, "Look, there are dark circles under your eyes."

As he spoke, he turned his whole face towards Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an didn't look at it, he paused for a while, and said, "Chen Xiao, I'm serious about the divorce. I'm not joking or acting out of anger."

She turned her face away as she spoke.

Chen Xiao acted as if he hadn't heard what she said, and said with a playful smile on his face, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I know I was a jerk before and always hurt you. But I promise, from now on I won't do it in the future. I swear. In the future, I will only obey you, daughter-in-law, and do whatever you say. Can you go home with me? Or I can live with you. You must not You can bear to see me alone, right?"

With his appearance like this, he obviously never took Gu Shi'an's words about divorce seriously.Most of the time, she thought that she was being angry and joking.

With him like this, it is obviously impossible to talk about it.Gu Shi'an simply closed his eyes and fell asleep without speaking.

Originally, he thought that Chen Xiao would have something to say, but he didn't say anything, and drove the car honestly.

He understood Gu Shi'an's thoughts very well, this time he did not drive the car to the gate of Gu Shi'an's company, but stopped at the intersection where she got off the car before.

After Gu Shi'an got out of the car, he said with a playful smile, "Daughter-in-law, I'll come pick you up in the afternoon." He drove away without waiting for Gu Shi'an's answer after saying this.

Gu Shi'an was a little confused about what he wanted to do, so he stood there for a while, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and then walked to the company.

Her resignation was submitted, but it was not known who disclosed it.When it was time to eat at noon, a colleague who usually has a good relationship came over and asked her if she was leaving.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to make a scene known to everyone, so he pretended to be surprised and asked who said it.

The colleague was a little puzzled, and vaguely said that it was the news from the HR department.He then asked her if she was leaving because of Luo Yun.

Everyone loves gossip, so Gu Shi'an just said that there is nothing wrong with it.Later, when someone asked her, she simply smiled and said nothing.

In the afternoon, it started to rain outside, and the temperature dropped a little.When Gu Shi'an went out in the morning with few clothes on, he sneezed several times in the office.

She had brought down a few things, but most of them were still upstairs in the office.Now that the resignation report has been handed in, things have to be collected.

But to collect it during working hours is obviously telling everyone that she is leaving.After work, she let Xiao Wang go, planning to wait until all her colleagues had left before going up to pack things.She didn't bring an umbrella, and it was raining outside and she couldn't go out for the time being.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. She waited for half an hour, guessing that her colleagues had left, and then went up to pack her things.

It was really quiet upstairs, she hadn't gone to work for a long time, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.His footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked in the direction of the office.

She has stayed here for several years, and there are many things left behind.Many of them are used.The miscellaneous things were collected, and even a cardboard box was collected.

She didn't completely collect it, but left some obvious things on display.After packing up, she stood in the office for a while, then turned off the light and closed the door, and went downstairs with the cardboard box in her arms.

It was raining, so she obviously couldn't take the box with her.So I went to the reference room and found a place to put the things down.

Just as I was about to go out in the rain, my phone rang.She took out her mobile phone to check, the call was from Chen Xiao.

Gu Shi'an didn't intend to answer it, and he didn't hang up, just let it ring.After closing the door, he carried his bag and walked outside, intending to see if there was an umbrella at the front desk first.

She has been delayed for a long time, there is no one at the front desk, she has already left work.When Gu Shi'an walked to the door, seeing that the rain was not too heavy, he put his bag on his head, planning to rush to the bus station and think of a solution.

It's just that before she left, the people next to her covered her head with an umbrella.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, and looked up.Chen Xiao pulled off the mask on his face, and said with an innocent face: "It's raining, I called you and you came here without answering." He quickly put on the mask again, and said, "Go Don't worry, no one will recognize me."

How could Gu Shi'an think that he would hide in front of this place, without saying a word, still put the bag on his head.Go in the direction of the bus stop.

She walked very fast, but Chen Xiao's umbrella was always covering her head.Probably because he knew her intentions, when he got to the side of the road, he reached out and grabbed her clothes, and said, "Daughter-in-law, the car is over there." After a slight pause, she continued, "Don't make trouble, my dear!" You'll catch a cold when it rains, it's not just for fun. Get in the car first, let's go back and talk about things."

There was some coaxing in his tone.

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, he only knew to walk in the direction of the bus platform.Chen Xiao let her go at first, but after walking a few steps, he stretched out his hand to grab her again, and said, "Good wife, don't make trouble. Look, your trouser legs are already wet."

He is very careful now.No, Gu Shian walked so fast that the bottom of his trouser legs was already wet.

It rained heavily again now, and the raindrops on the ground splashed even harder.The umbrella in Chen Xiao's hand was leaning toward Gu Shi'an, and his left side was already wet.

Gu Shi'an knew his character too well, so it was obviously meaningless to stand still.She paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the side where Chen Xiao parked.

Chen Xiao let go of her hand now, and opened the door for Gu Shi'an very graciously when he reached the side of the car.After waiting for Gu Shi'an to get into the car, he closed the door, and then got into the car himself.

His outer coat was completely wet, and he took it off when he got in the car.He turned on the heater in the car, took out a dry towel, and handed it to Gu Shi'an to wipe off the water droplets on his body.

Gu Shi'an took it over and wiped off the splashed water on the jacket.Did not take care of the already wet trouser legs.

Chen Xiao took the towel she had wiped and wiped herself casually, and then said to Gu Shi'an: "Are your shoes wet too? Take them off when they get wet, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, nor did he take off his shoes.

Chen Xiao touched the ashes on his nose, but he was not discouraged.Still grinning on his face, he talked about interesting things that happened in his company.

While talking, he looked at Gu Shi'an's face, and after talking for a while, seeing that Gu Shi'an was silent, he reached out and touched his nose, and stopped talking.

The traffic jam on the rainy road was even worse, and the heater in the car was fully turned on.Although Gu Shian's trouser legs were already wet, they were not cold at all.

The congested roads in the city were broadcast on the traffic radio. Chen Xiao tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, looked at the time, looked at Gu Shian, salivated and said, "Daughter-in-law, the traffic jam is severe. Do you want to What to eat, why don't you go back after eating? I know there is a restaurant nearby that does a good job of dim sum, why don't you try it?"

Gu Shi'an was not used to him like this.

She didn't intend to talk to him at first, but she was afraid of going over directly, so she said, "No need."

"Don't want to eat Cantonese food?" Chen Xiao asked again.

Whether it was before or after marriage, during all the time the two were together, he had never been so subdued.

Gu Shi'an endured and endured, and finally said: "You don't have to do this, and you don't have to." He acted like she was making trouble for no reason.

When she opened her mouth, Chen Xiao wanted to make an inch of it, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I really know I was wrong. Just stop making trouble, okay. I promised grandma that I will have a good time with you."

His tone is serious.

It turned out that he was like this only because he promised the old lady.

Speaking of the old lady, Gu Shi'an was a little dazed.She was momentarily speechless.Chen Xiao over there suddenly fell silent.For a while, no one spoke.

There was a severe traffic jam all the way, Chen Xiao wanted to take out a cigarette several times.But in the end they still didn't smoke.

When the car arrived outside Gu Shi'an's community, Gu Shi'an said, "Just get off here."

How could Chen Xiao let her get off, and directly drove the car into the community.At this time, everyone in the community has already left work, and the parking space is tight.

His luck was pretty good. When he drove downstairs, there was rarely a car beside the flower bed.Gu Shi'an opened the car door and got out of the car, and he immediately followed suit.

Gu Shi'an looked back at him now.

Chen Xiao had a thick skin, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.Pointing to the coat on his body, he said, "Do you have the heart to let me go back in wet clothes?"

Gu Shian was not moved, he immediately found a new excuse, and said: "Didn't I lose a tie last time? I'll go up and look for it. If I don't find it, I'll leave right away."

He was just looking for an excuse, Gu Shian replied without thinking, "No."

Chen Xiao smiled slyly and said, "I didn't tell you where I landed, so how do you know?"

Gu Shi'an couldn't help but choked, and Chen Xiao had already swaggered upstairs.

He was really thick-skinned, so he stopped at the door.Waiting for Gu Shian to open the door.

Gu Shi'an opened the door quickly, but she didn't go inside.Throwing the key aside, he said, "Look for it, look for it wherever you think it is. If you don't find it, please leave immediately."

She had already lost that tie, how could Chen Xiao find it.His purpose was not here. He looked around and muttered, "It's cold, I must have a cold. I need a cup of hot water."

He used to look like a grandpa when he came here, but not now.He walked towards the kitchen by himself, intending to boil hot water by himself.

Only now did Gu Shi'an realize that it was a completely wrong decision for him to let him in.

She stood there without moving, took a deep breath, and said, "You said just now, you will leave after you find something."

Chen Xiao had already gone into the kitchen, he didn't know if he heard it or not.After about 2 minutes, he came out. Seeing that Gu Shian was still standing there, he smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be so serious. I just want to drink a cup of hot water. You don't even know how to drink water." Are you reluctant to give me a drink? Look, my clothes are already wet."

As he spoke, he took off his coat, handed it to Gu Shian, and motioned Gu Shian to look at it.After a pause, he continued, "For the sake of sending you back, let me drink a cup of hot water before leaving. If I catch a cold, you won't feel bad."

His face is rather large.

Gu Shi'an didn't bother to talk to him, and said: "The ghost will feel distressed."

She didn't care about him as she said, and went directly to the bedroom to change clothes.When waiting to come out, Chen Xiao was already sitting on the sofa with a glass of water.He was not polite at all, and turned on the TV.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, he deliberately raised the water in the glass, and repeated again: "I'll leave after drinking."

Gu Shi'an ignored him, poured a cup of hot water and drank it himself, and then went straight to the kitchen.

Out of sight and out of mind, she simply didn't go out.Just started cooking in the kitchen.The meal for one person is simple, one stir-fried broccoli, one tomato scrambled egg, one cabbage tofu soup.Ready in half an hour.

There was no sound in the living room, she thought Chen Xiao had already left.Just as he was about to take out the meal, when he turned around, he saw Chen Xiao standing lazily at the door of the kitchen.

Gu Shi'an frowned all of a sudden, and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Chen Xiao raised the glass in his hand again, and said, "I haven't finished drinking the glass of water." After he finished speaking, he went into the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, and said very seriously: "Besides, to be a guest, you must have As a guest, the master has already entered the kitchen to cook, so of course he has to eat before leaving. How can the master’s heart be wasted, right?”

He has a lot of crooked reasons, and his thick skin is so thick that no one has ever done it before or since.Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to refute for a while, and watched him walk out with the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing Gu Shi'an going out, he turned his back on the customer, beckoning her to sit down and eat, because it will be cold later.

Chen Xiao obviously refused to leave, and volunteered to wash the dishes after dinner.

There was nothing Gu Shian could do to get him if he didn't leave, so Gu Shian didn't care about him and went to wash up.She didn't have the desire to talk to Chen Xiao, so she went directly to the study after washing up.

Now that the resignation report has been posted, she naturally has to find a job.

There are quite a lot of job openings online, and they are all varied.Gu Shi'an browsed around, picked out a few that he thought were better, and submitted their resumes.

After submitting her resume, she initiated a stay.Sitting in the study for a long time, I didn't go out until I saw that it was getting late.

The living room was empty, although the TV was still on.But Chen Xiaoren was not seen.

She stayed in the study for more than two hours, and thought that Chen Xiao had already left after hanging out like that.Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she walked towards the sofa, only to find that he hadn't left at all, but had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He looks like he hasn't washed yet, he should have fallen asleep watching TV.It has already made a uniform breathing sound, and it doesn't look like it is pretending.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps stopped, stood for a while, and then entered the bedroom.

Chen Xiao woke up from the cold, and the light in the living room was on when he woke up.He was slightly in a trance, and when he woke up, he remembered that he was on Gu Shi'an's side.

He reached out and rubbed the center of his brow.Remembering that Gu Shi'an was still in the study, he walked towards the study.

He reached out and knocked on the door of the study, but there was no response from inside.After pushing it away, I realized that it was pitch black inside, and there was no one there.

Only then did Chen Xiao remember to check the time, it was already past twelve o'clock.He actually fell asleep for hours at a time.

Chen Xiao was in a daze for a moment, and looked down at his clothes.Go straight to the bathroom.

There was no pajamas here, so he simply wrapped himself in a bath towel and came out directly.He has always been used to being thick-skinned, and he went straight to the bedroom after he came out.

When he reached out to twist the doorknob, he realized that the door was locked from the inside.This was something he hadn't expected.He was slightly taken aback.

He had already fallen asleep just now, and he couldn't fall asleep now.He simply picked up the worn clothes and put them on again, stood on the balcony, smoked a cigarette and lit it.

He was so thick-skinned that he kind of didn't lie.He hadn't slept well for a long time.

After the old lady passed away, he was depressed.In the beginning, I was getting drunk every night.Later, after dealing with the old lady's will, there are many things in the company, so he almost always leaves early and returns late.

Waiting to get home from get off work one morning, only to find that the house is empty.There was no sign of Gu Shi'an.

At first he thought she was working overtime and didn't care.After waiting for her not to come back for a long time, when he went to the bedroom, he found that her things were gone.

Habits are scary things.He obviously didn't feel it before, but now he suddenly felt that the whole room was terribly empty.

Chen Xiao's thoughts paused slightly, and he stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand.He didn't leave, he couldn't get into the bedroom, so he went to the study next door.Then he closed his eyes and lay down on the narrow bed.

Although his eyes were closed, his mind was clearly awake.Chen Xiao just lay there motionless.After lying down for so long, I don't know what to think of.He suddenly sat up again, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked.

During this period of time, he was addicted to smoking, and he was smoking almost all the time.

After smoking most of a pack of cigarettes, I sat for a long time.It wasn't until the sky lightened slightly that he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed again.

He overslept this time, and when he woke up the next morning, the room was quiet.Gu Shi'an left without knowing when.

Chen Xiao stood in the living room for a while before going to wash up.The phone rang in the living room before he finished washing.He didn't care about it, and waited to go out, so he picked up his mobile phone and called back.

The call was from Assistant Sun, and Chen Xiao called back without asking what was the matter.Instead, let him lazily let him see where there are romantic restaurants suitable for eating.
