Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 185 Tranquility
These things were said by the aunt when the aunt called the aunt over there, complaining to her that the atmosphere at home is not good recently, and that she can't satisfy the master by doing anything, and instead she is often scolded.

Auntie sighed when she told Gu Shi'an about this, saying that Gu Su was too ignorant, and she didn't know where he was going crazy.He also told Gu Shi'an not to leak his words in front of the old lady. If the old lady knew, she would have to worry about it.

Gu Shi'an complied, talked with his aunt for a while, and then hung up the phone.

She didn't go back to the house right away, but stood under the eaves.I looked back and looked inside.

She didn't care where Gu Su went, but this time the aunt probably wronged her.Since she had the guts to get her out at her engagement banquet, at this moment, she probably wouldn't be playing around.

Gu Shi'an didn't go back into the house, but stood for a while and went towards the kitchen.I took the dishes I bought in the usual bag and started to choose.

She had just chosen a dish, and the dumb brother got a bagful of oranges from nowhere.Put it in the basket like offering a treasure, let Gu Shi'an eat it.

The oranges should have just been picked, very sweet.After eating one, Gu Shi'an praised it deliciously, and the dumb brother showed his white teeth.He took another one and handed it to her.

Gu Shi'an ate two oranges in a row and was about to cook when he realized that there was a power outage at some point.

Brother Dumb was not in a hurry, he turned on the stove and told Gu Shi'an that he could cook without electricity.

After making some gestures, he volunteered to hold a pile of firewood and put it on the stove door, and put it on the stove door to start a fire.

Gu Shi'an had never cooked with firewood, so he couldn't take advantage of the dumb brother's kindness, so he had to bite the bullet and start cooking.

Dumb brother obviously used firewood a lot by himself, and knew when to increase the fire and when to remove firewood. Although Gu Shi'an had never done it before, it didn't take much effort.

Chen Xiao got up after squinting for a while, walked to the door of the kitchen, and saw the dumb brother watching the fire at the door of the stove, while Gu Shian didn't know what kind of soup he was cooking.

On a rainy day, it got dark earlier, and the fire in the not-so-bright kitchen illuminated the faces of the two of them.Chen Xiao's eyes stayed on Gu Shi'an's slightly pale face, and before he looked back, Gu Shi'an looked over.

Seeing Chen Xiao standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you awake?"

Chen Xiao lazily hummed and walked into the kitchen.

It was probably because Chang Yu had greeted him, and Brother Dumb was also very warm to him, so he immediately wiped the stool he was sitting on and signaled Chen Xiao to sit down.

Chen Xiao was not polite at all, and sat on it."What's for dinner tonight?" he asked casually.

Gu Shi'an just mentioned the names of a few dishes, and then said: "There is a power outage, and you can cook only when the soup is ready."

Chen Xiao nodded.

Gu Shi'an ran out of firewood halfway through cooking, so the dumb brother ran out to find firewood, and Chen Xiao took over the important task of watching the fire.

Although he seemed careless, he had a lot of experience in watching the fire, and he didn't even put it out.

The dishes were cooked quickly, but the dumb brother did not come back, and Gu Shian was not busy serving the dishes, so he took out his mobile phone to call Chang, asking when she would be back.

She went out early today, and she should have come back by this time.

I don't know if it's because I didn't bring the phone with me or what, but no one answered the phone for a long time.When Gu Shi'an was about to hang up the phone, he picked it up.

Gu Shi'an opened his mouth and asked, "Ah, when are you coming back?"

There was a bit of noise in Chang'an's side, so he ran to a quieter place and said, "There are a lot of people in the store tonight, and it's a bit busy. I may come back later. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Gu Shi'an said yes.

Chang Li asked again on the phone: "Is Chen Xiao over there?"

Gu Shi'an looked at the person sitting in front of the stove with his long legs outstretched, and replied yes.

With Chen Xiao in Chang'an, he was obviously relieved a lot. He nodded on the phone and said, "Maybe I'll be busy until after twelve o'clock. It's someone's birthday. I'll add a few tables temporarily. If it's late, I will Don't come back, don't wait for me."

She spoke very fast, as if someone was calling her over there.Gu Shi'an asked her to work first, and then hung up the phone.

The dumb brother didn't know where to get firewood, and it took about twenty minutes before he came back with a bundle of firewood.Chang didn't come back, seeing him back, Gu Shi'an put the dishes on the table.

I don't know if it has been raining for a long time, there is a problem with the circuit or something, but the electricity has not been turned on until it is dark.Gu Shi'an had no choice but to use the weak light of his mobile phone to fetch water and wash his hands.

As soon as it got dark, the dumb brother went back to the front. After washing up, Gu Shi'an looked at Chen Xiao who had been staying there all this time, and asked, "When are you going back?"

Chen Xiao picked up the towel she had washed, fetched water and began to wash herself, and replied, "I won't go back tonight."

Gu Shi'an was taken aback for a moment and didn't speak.

When she returned to her room, she realized that there was only one bed here.Chen Xiao walked to the bed, got on the bed directly, yawned, and said, "Go to sleep, it's not like you haven't slept together before. Your friend won't be coming back tonight."

What he said was as if he had the function of a prophet.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and asked, "How do you know?"

The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked evilly, and he said lazily: "I'm here, what is she doing here?"

What he said was very ambiguous, as if they had something tricky when he was here.

But Chang Yan did say that he would not come back if it was late, so Gu Shi'an didn't say anything.

The bed was not big, so it was awkward for two of them to lie together.Gu Shi'an didn't go to bed, and after standing for a while, he was about to go out to find Brother Dumb and ask if there was another room.

It was only when she reached the door that Chen Xiao said lazily as if she knew what she was going to do: "Didn't you see that the yard here is usually not taken care of? Do you think there will be extra beds here? "

That's right, just looking at this yard, you can tell that only the dumb brother is usually there.Where there might be extra quilts on hand.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps stopped and he didn't make a sound.

Chen Xiao's voice softened a bit, and said: "The power is out, it's dark outside, and it's raining again, come and sleep instead of wandering around, I won't do anything to you."

In the dark, his voice was coaxing, just like coaxing a child.

Gu Shi'an stood silently for a while, then went back to the bed, sat for a while, then closed his clothes and got on the bed.

The bed was too narrow, so Chen Xiao moved a little in after she got on it.But even though he was leaning against the wall, it was still inevitable that their bodies were touching.Inexplicably, there is a little more softness and intimacy.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but wanted to reach out and hug her into his arms, but finally restrained himself.After a while, he said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Shi'an was caught by Xiao Si because of him.He still owes her an apology.

Before meeting her, he had a thousand words to say.But at this moment, the two of them stayed together, but he couldn't say a word of what he wanted to say, only a sentence of "sorry" that he stayed dry and felt extremely guilty.

He actually wanted to ask Xiao Si if he did anything to her, but for some reason, he couldn't ask a single word.He was terrified, and he didn't dare to imagine how much she had suffered under Xiao Si's hands.

Gu Shi'an said in a low voice: "He didn't do anything to me."

Xiao Si has always been ruthless, and Chen Xiao doesn't believe it at all.He fell silent and did not speak again.

Instead, Gu Shi'an asked again: "Is Gu Su also with him?"

When Gu Sulai was mentioned, Chen Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy.Said lightly: "She is getting more and more courageous, and she has to suffer a little before she knows what is serious."

This means that Gu Su is in his hands.He didn't shy away from it.

Gu Shi'an was not surprised, but remembered what his aunt said, and said, "Let her go. I was too careless."

It's true that she was too careless, if she had been on guard, she might not have listened to Gu Su's words.

If Gu Su keeps not showing his face, sooner or later the old house will be unable to hide it, and the old lady will definitely be alarmed.And the old lady was always shrewd, so she would definitely guess something.She didn't want the old lady to worry about these things.

Chen Xiao naturally knew what she was thinking, and said in a calm tone, "I'll see what happens."

Gu Su's brain is like a pig's brain, and every time he thinks about that night, he can't control the rage.It's time for them to show some color, how could he let her go so easily.He had to make her remember well, and he had to take a detour when he saw her in the future.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes, and after a while, he asked, "Is she and Xiao Si..." She wanted to say that they were in collusion, but before she could say anything, Chen Xiao snorted and opened her mouth. Said: "She is not so courageous."

After a slight pause, he continued, "I'll do what I see, and I won't let grandma know."

She couldn't be more clear about Gu Shi'an's thoughts.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak. At that moment, she suddenly remembered Xiao Si's words that Chen Xiao took his things.

She was in a trance for a moment, and the strange feeling from a few days ago resurfaced.It seemed that Chen Xiao had never been the Chen Xiao she knew, but a stranger she had never known before.

She was so dazed that she didn't even know when Chen Xiao turned into another Chen Xiao who was unfamiliar to her.

There was the sound of dripping rainwater falling in the yard, which made the house extremely quiet.Chen Xiao clenched his fingers unconsciously, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to do anything to you."

He taught Xiao Si some lessons. He originally thought that he would experience pain and restrain himself, but who knew that he intensified his efforts and even set his mind on her.

Gu Shi'an shook his head lightly in the dark, and said it was all right.

Chang didn't let her go out, she knew that Xiao Si's people outside must have been looking for them.She wanted to ask something, but in the end she pretended not to know anything and didn't ask any more.

No one spoke for the rest of the time, the two bodies were next to each other, Gu Shian was not used to it, and his body was tense.She was waiting for Chen Xiao to sleep first, and then to sleep again.

Darkness didn't know if the people around her were asleep or not, but her eyes were a little sore.She just closed her eyes.As soon as his eyes were closed, he slowly fell asleep without knowing when.

Chen Xiao hadn't slept all this time, and when she heard her breathing became steady, she originally wanted to stretch out her hand to pull the quilt for her, but for some reason, she just raised her hand, but then put it down again.After a while, he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for her and closed his eyes.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next day, the inside of the bed had become empty, and Chen Xiao didn't know when he got up.

Gu Shi'an was slightly startled, put on his shoes and got out of bed.Open the door and go out, the dumb brother is lighting a brazier under the eaves, and Chen Xiao has long since disappeared.

Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, and before he could ask anything, the dumb brother trotted over, and told Gu Shi'an with gestures that Chen Xiao had left.

Gu Shi'an was not surprised either, he just nodded and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As Chen Xiao said, Chang didn't come back at night, but she came back at noon when Chen Xiao left.Gu Shi'an stayed here and didn't know what was going on outside, and often asked what was going on outside when he came back.

Of course, Chang'an's trip was not just to go to the store, but when he heard Gu Shi'an's question, he said, "I'll stay here for a few more days."

This means that it is not calm outside yet.

Gu Shi'an nodded, fell silent and did not speak.

She often talked about a few days, but she originally thought it would take ten and a half months.Who knew that on the third day, Chang Ji packed up his things and said, "It's all right, you can go back. Do you want to go to my side to see the big lady first?"

She suddenly mentioned that she could go back. Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, but she didn't ask anything, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Sitting in the car, she was slightly in a daze. Chen Xiao didn't know what to do these few days, and she never came again, nor did she make any phone calls.

After all, Xiao Si is not an ordinary person, but a legend of the underworld in Lincheng.Gu Shi'an was worried, but in the end he still asked: "Chen Xiaohe... Has it been dealt with?"

Chang Yu nodded and said, "It should have been dealt with. Xiao Si's people have all withdrawn since last night. He called to say that he can go back."

He actually called Chang Ji.

Gu Shi'an hummed and didn't ask any more questions.

Dumb brother's place is a bit far from Chang's small courtyard, it takes an hour's car ride.Although the two of them didn't have many things, they probably felt that Gu Shi'an's body was still weak, so Chang Yan called a car from outside.

When he was almost at the small courtyard, Gu Shi'an asked, "Ah, these past few days, the big lady...has she asked me?"

It's obviously not normal for her to not show up for such a long time, and naturally she has to unify the caliber with Chang in advance.

Chang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I told her that you are on a business trip in a hurry. She didn't suspect anything."

The two of them talked and the car stopped at the gate of the small courtyard. The driver wanted to get out of the car to carry things for them, but Chang Yu didn't give way, and told him something in a low voice, and then he and Gu Shi'an carried things to go. Small yard to go.

The door of the small courtyard was locked from the inside, and Chang Li didn't knock on the door, but took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Gu Lan trotted out not long after, seeing Gu Shi'an slightly stunned.She knew that Gu Shi'an knew about it a long time ago, so she greeted with a frank smile: "Are you back from a business trip?"

Gu Shi'an replied yes with a smile, and the three of them walked in together without asking anything.

During the day, Xiao Huzi's mother and Xiao Huzi both went to the store, and Gu Lan was the only one in the small yard.Seeing the two of them coming back, she hurriedly asked them if they had eaten and wanted to cook.

Chang Ji hurriedly stopped her, saying that she had already eaten and told her not to be busy.She knew that Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan had something to say, so she exchanged some pleasantries and found an excuse before going out, leaving only Gu Lan and Gu Shi'an behind.

The two sisters had nothing to say for a while, and Gu Shi'an found some irrelevant topics to talk about.Gu Lan also cooperated with her, and after a while, she asked softly: "Shi'an, don't you ask anything?"

During the time she stayed here in Chang'an, she thought a lot.She also thought about what Gu Shi'an asked her to answer, but she didn't expect that Gu Shi'an didn't ask anything.

Gu Shi'an looked at her, and asked, "Sister, have you made up your mind?"

Gu Lan was slightly taken aback, a faint smile appeared on that gentle face, and said: "Those years are enough. I don't have anything to remember there."

Her expression is calm, and there is no resentment.

Her answer made Gu Shi'an heave a sigh of relief. She was actually afraid that Gu Lan would go back if she couldn't bear the pressure.

That person was not a good person in the first place, if she went back, she would only wrong herself.

The past is in the past, and what we have to do now is to get rid of everything in the past and move forward.

Gu Shi'an took a deep breath and said, "Don't contact my aunt and uncle first, live with me first, you can rest for a few days and start looking for a job, and tell them when you stabilize."

Nothing is the most important thing now, the most important thing is that she has to learn to support herself.She contacted her uncles and aunts before gaining a firm foothold, but most likely she would only be escorted back by crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.

Gu Lan also thought the same way, nodded, and said, "I was planning to go out to look for a job a few days ago, and I often said that I will talk about it after you come back." After a slight pause, she said tactfully: "I live It’s inconvenient for you, I’ve already looked at the house, the house here is easy to find, and it’s not expensive, I’ll rent a house first.”

She planned to be self-reliant from the beginning, and she didn't plan to depend on anyone.As the eldest daughter of Gu's family, she naturally has a property under her name.But those things, strictly speaking, don't belong to her, and she doesn't want to live in them.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew what she meant by the inconvenience, she was silent for a moment, and said: "I moved out from the new house, and now I live in the house I used to live in."

Gu Lan obviously didn't expect it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You and Chen Xiao..."

Gu Shi'an smiled lightly, nodded, and said seriously: "We have separated."

This was something Gu Lan didn't expect, but between Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao...she knew something about it.She was slightly absent-minded, she didn't know what to think of, and she didn't speak for a while.After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It's good to be able to let go."

Why bother yourself.She paused slightly, and then asked, "Does grandma know?"

Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "I haven't told her yet."

Gu Lan nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we find a suitable time."

Gu Shi'an hummed, looked at her, and asked, "Uncle and Aunt, have you thought about what to do?"

Gu Lan fell silent, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Let's take one step at a time. You know them... But Shi'an, I've done enough of being a puppet. Sometimes, I'm so tired that I want to die. How can I It's also their own daughter, they can't force me to die."

When it came to the latter, her voice was a little self-deprecating.After a pause, she changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's rare for us sisters to meet each other, so let's not talk about these unhappy things."

Gu Shi'an said yes and forced a smile.

Chang didn't know where he went, and once he went out, he never came back.There were vegetables in the refrigerator, so Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan started cooking.

Gu Lan's status in her husband's family is not high. Although there is an aunt in the family, most of the three meals a day are cooked by her herself.Her movements are nimble, and the dishes she cooks are pleasing to the eye both in terms of color and presentation.

Finally, I saw flour and pumpkin, and made pumpkin pie.Her ex-mother-in-law has always liked to eat desserts, but she thought the outside was unclean and too sweet, so she specially went to learn how to make pastries to serve her.

She is dexterous, and she can make a beautiful shape without using a model hand.A flash of inspiration flashed in Gu Shi'an's mind, and he said, "There's a store in Chang'an, how about you go to her to make desserts?"

Although there are no desserts in the store now, as long as the craftsmanship is good, they will definitely sell well.After all, most of the people who go to the store are young people.

Gu Lan still had a smile on her face, but she shook her head and said, "This matter has been mentioned before, and I can't trouble you. You know my parents. If you find out that I work in the store, There will definitely be a big fuss. Maybe you will even say that you encouraged me to divorce. For the time being, I only plan to find a job that can support me, and when I have a showdown with them, I want to do something else."

Her tone was a little self-deprecating, and she continued: "The only thing I can do now is make desserts."

After all, she is also a high-achieving student from a prestigious university. It is heartbreaking to hear this.

Gu Shi'an lowered his head, and said seriously: "As long as you want to learn, you can pick up the things you have learned before."

Gu Lan nodded with a smile, and continued to make pumpkin pie.Said: "Let's talk about it after we find the class."

Yep, now that those are empty.What she needs most now is to find a job that can support her.

Gu Shi'an hummed, and said: "There is a shortage of people now, I will accompany you to find them."

Gu Lan looked at her and asked, "Don't you have to go to work? I heard from Chang that day that you resigned from your original company?"
