Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 67
In the darkness, Chen Xiao's eyes were bottomless.Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going to behave as usual, so he curled up unconsciously.

But Chen Xiao didn't move, he propped up his hand slightly, keeping a distance from her.With a low voice, he suddenly called out: "Gu Shi'an."

His voice was so hoarse.

Before Gu Shian could react, he lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and breathed evenly.

This night was extremely difficult, Chen Xiao got up after lying down for a long time, and never came back.

Gu Shi'an squinted in a daze for a while, and when he woke up at dawn, Luo Chan had already left.The huge living room was deserted.Gu Shi'an went downstairs only to find that Chen Xiao was leaning on the sofa and fell asleep.

He didn't sleep much all night, and blue stubble of beard appeared on his chin.There was a thin blanket on his body, so Gu Shi'an didn't go any further, but went to the kitchen with the lights on.

Ye Qing is busy in the kitchen, cooking porridge for the old lady.Her complexion was a little softer than last night. When Gu Shian asked how the old lady was doing, she said: "It's okay, I didn't sleep well in the first half of the night, but I fell asleep quickly after taking Dr. Luo's medicine in the second half of the night." I have. I haven't woken up yet."

She also stayed up almost all night, and her eyes were blue.Gu Shi'an said: "You go to sleep for a while, I'll just come here."

Ye Qing originally wanted to decline, but in the end he was still mentally weak, so he told Gu Shi'an what he needed to pay attention to, and went back to his room to rest.

It was probably her footsteps that woke Chen Xiao up, and low voices came from the living room.Calm was restored soon.

After all, Gu Shi'an was still worried, so he turned down the fire after a while, and then went to see the old lady.When passing by the living room, I realized that Chen Xiao was no longer there. I don't know if he went out or went upstairs.

Gu Shi'an just paused slightly, then walked towards the old lady's bedroom.She gently opened the door of the old lady's room, and seeing that the old lady was asleep, she closed the door again and went back to the kitchen.

The porridge was slowly cooking on a simmer, and she stirred it from time to time.Standing in front of the bed in a daze.The sky outside is still gloomy, and there is no snow today.But there was a thin drizzle.In the winter, it is cold to the bone.

She was slightly in a trance, and it took a while to come back to her senses.Continue to stir the porridge in the casserole.

Although the porridge was ready early, the old lady has been sleeping.

Gu Shi'an called and asked for leave during working hours.She asked for leave suddenly and Xiao Wang couldn't figure out many things, and would call from time to time.

When Chen Xiao came down from upstairs, Gu Shi'an was also answering the phone, probably because she was afraid of disturbing others, her voice was kept very low.He explained something to the person on the other end of the phone very carefully.

Chen Xiao didn't go downstairs anymore, he took out a cigarette, leaned on the stairs and smoked slowly.It wasn't until Gu Shi'an hung up the phone that he went downstairs.

Seeing that Chen Xiao had nothing to say, she was silent for a while, and then said: "I went to see, and grandma was still asleep. She didn't sleep well last night, so I didn't call her."

She was probably at a loss for words, paused, and continued: "The porridge is ready, I'll serve it."

The old house was deserted, but the smell of porridge in the kitchen added some warmth to the deserted old house.

Chen Xiao was slightly in a daze, and Gu Shi'an was already walking towards the kitchen.

She quickly poured out the porridge, and there was steam rising from the white porcelain bowl.Chen Xiao didn't go to the dining table, he didn't go until he finished smoking a cigarette.

The old lady woke up at noon, probably because the medicine prescribed by Luo Chan had worked. Although she was still weak, her spirit was much better.

In the evening, Luo Chan came again and said that the old lady was getting old.It is not recommended to take more medicines, and you have to pay more attention to your diet.And gave a few prescriptions for food supplements.

He was busy in the hospital, so he got up and left after sitting for a long time.

Chen Xiao also stood up and sent him out.

He went out for a while, the old lady went back to her room to rest, and Gu Shian also took a shower before he came back.

He didn't know what he talked to Luo Chan, so he sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette when he came back.He kept the same posture for a long time without moving.

The food tonic prescription prescribed by Luo Ju was effective, and the old lady's illness gradually improved.Gu Shi'an took ten days off in a row, and returned to the company under the urging of the old lady.

She has been taking care of the old lady these days, and on the first day back to the company, she received a big surprise.Assistant Cao called her and said that Manager Xu asked her to sign the contract.

She never received a call from Assistant Cao, and thought that the matter had been lost.Who would have thought that she would call and ask her to go directly to sign the contract.

Gu Shi'an was still a little dazed, Assistant Cao smiled and said on the phone: "Actually, I wanted to call you a long time ago, but I don't know why your phone can't get through. I found out later that you have something to ask for leave, Manager Xu Just say to let you go back to the company after handling the matter and call you again. In case you are distracted and can't work well. "

It was really rare that Manager Xu was considerate, but Gu Shi'an thanked him from the bottom of his heart.Asked Assistant Cao to thank Manager Xu on her behalf.

Assistant Cao just smiled and changed the topic to the company.Ask Gu Shi'an to sign the contract in the afternoon.

There was nothing wrong with Gu Shi'an, and he nodded again and again.After hanging up the phone, we started to prepare for signing the contract.

Because of Xu Wei's consent, the signing went very smoothly.Gu Shi'an came to their company last time, this time he really joined their company.

Xu Wei has always acted vigorously, and immediately after signing the contract, someone took Gu Shi'an to see the scene.And get ready to work as soon as possible.

She was very generous this time, asking her driver to take Gu Shi'an and the person in the company who took her there.

Gu Shi'an did not forget that it was Qin Tang who introduced this matter, and that the contract had already been signed, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed.It was inappropriate to call someone with her.She sent him a text message in the car, telling him that she had signed a contract with Manager Xu.

The two hadn't been in touch for a long time, and Gu Shi'an didn't even know if he was still in Lincheng.

The news was sent like a sea of ​​mud, knowing that he was busy, Gu Shi'an was not discouraged.Turn around and talk to the people from Manager Xu's company about what happened on the construction site.

When the car drove into the parking lot, Gu Shi'an discovered that the office of Manager Xu's new company was in the building next door to Chen Xiao's company.Even the parking lot is connected.

This is something Gu Shian did not expect.However, she recovered quickly and followed the director surnamed Tian upstairs.

Qin Tang called at seven o'clock, when Gu Shi'an had just finished watching the scene and went downstairs.The weather in winter is short, and the lights outside are just coming on, and the sky is already dark.

Gu Shi'an quickly answered the phone, and called Mr. Qin as usual.

Qin Tang gave a rare faint smile on the other end of the phone, and said, "Aren't you going to treat me to dinner after signing the contract?"

His voice was deep and mellow, and he didn't know where it was, it was quiet over there.

Gu Shi'an laughed now, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Of course please. When are you free?"

Qin Tang leaned against the window, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hands, and said lazily, "Please eat, anytime."

Now Gu Shi'an was in a dilemma, hesitated for a while, and said, "How about today?"

Qin Tang on the other end of the phone groaned, and said, "I'm not in Lincheng right now, so I owe it first."

It was a little hasty to invite him to dinner today, and I was relieved to hear that he was not in Gu Shi'an.Afraid of being discovered by him, he hurriedly said: "I have a friend who is very good at cooking. When you come back one day, I will take you there to have a taste. What do you like to eat, I will prepare it in advance."

She is like a dog leg.He deliberately expressed his sincerity in wanting to invite him to dinner.

Qin Tang had a slight smile on his lips, and said, "You don't seem to be sincere enough, you don't even know what I like to eat when you invite me to dinner?"

Gu Shian was dumbfounded for a moment.After racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't figure out what he likes to eat, so he could only say awkwardly, "I'll try to prepare according to your taste."

Qin Tang didn't make things difficult for her, he nodded his head and said yes.He should be busy, after he said a few words, it seemed that someone knocked on the door, and Gu Shian hung up the phone.

She was in a good mood today, and took a deep breath after hanging up the phone.When I thought about it, I saw an old lady's favorite dim sum shop not far from here, so I planned to go to buy some dim sum.The old lady has been eating lightly during this time, so she should eat something else to adjust the taste.

It is the rush hour for get off work, and there is a lot of traffic on the road.The dim yellow light stretched her shadow long.

That house was not far away, but it took five or six minutes to walk there.At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the store, and they were queuing up.

Gu Shi'an lined up at the end of the line, the clerk's movements were quite fast, and it wasn't long before it was her turn.

She chose several flavors of dim sum before going to queue to pay again.It was almost eight o'clock when we went out.

She stood on the side of the road and stopped the car.

At this time, it is not easy to hail taxis. Most of them are full of passengers, and some are unwilling to go.After standing for so long without stopping a car, Gu Shi'an checked the time and was about to go ahead to take a bus when a car stopped in front of her silently.

Chen Xiao honked the horn, and then Gu Shi'an raised his head.There was a traffic jam at the back, so he motioned her to get in the car.

When he sat in the car, he glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Shi'an immediately replied: "There is something to do here."

Chen Xiao glanced at the snack that Gu Shian was carrying, he paused for a moment, took out a cigarette and lit it.

There was no one talking in the car for a moment, and the traffic ahead was severe, with stop-and-go traffic.

Chen Xiao smoked half a cigarette, looked sideways at Gu Shian, and asked lazily, "Why did you marry me in the first place?"

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask this, and he was slightly in a daze.She quickly came back to her senses, and said flatly, "I'm crazy about losing my mind."

But no, obviously at the beginning, grandma objected, and so did my only friend Chang Yan.She got married stubbornly, but she was not out of her mind.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Are you talking like that because you want me to fuck you until you can't get out of bed tomorrow?"

Gu Shi'an shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Even so, Chen Xiao seemed to be in a good mood.Gu Shi'an didn't know what he thought of, and looked sideways out of the window.His eyes became astringent, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he was still on the road, Chen Xiao received a call from Ye Qing, he didn't know what was said on the other end, he hummed a few times and said thank you Aunt Ye, then hung up the phone.

When Ye Qing went back, she was laying out the food, Gu Shi'an stepped forward to help her but refused to let her wash her hands and change clothes before eating.

The old lady had already gone to bed, so Gu Shi'an handed over the snacks he bought to Ye Qing.

After eating and going upstairs, Gu Shi'an came out of the shower, and saw Chen Xiao taking chess and placing it on the small table.She couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Chen Xiao probably heard the sound of her opening the door, raised his head to look at her, curled his lips, and said, "Do you want to play? I remember you used to like to play."

In the past, this word sounded a little far away, but Gu Shian walked over without saying a word, and sat down opposite him.

The heating in the room is warm and quiet.Gu Shi'an sat on the carpet with one elbow propped on the small table, frowning and meditating from time to time.

Although she didn't regret playing chess, she played it slowly, and she couldn't drop a single chess piece for a long time.Chen Xiao didn't rush her at all, whenever she played chess, he immediately followed her.

Gu Shi'an hadn't played this chess for a long time. She was inferior to others in the first place, and under Chen Xiao's pressing every step of the way, she lost completely in the first round.

She pursed her lips, did not speak, and picked up the chess piece again.

The relationship between the two of them was probably not so peaceful, Chen Xiao was slightly in a trance.

Gu Shi'an belongs to the type of getting more courageous as he loses, the more he loses, the more he will follow closely.She pretended not to see Chen Xiao yawned several times in a row.

In the end, Chen Xiao simply let her kill him to death. He stood up laughing and said, "Okay, you won, go to sleep."

Playing chess with someone who has no technical content is completely asking for trouble, and he just sat there for more than two hours.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew that he was letting the water go, so he didn't expose him. Seeing that it was indeed getting late, he cleared the chessboard.

Chen Xiao quickly went to the bathroom to wash up, but Gu Shi'an was still awake when he came out.It's still on Xiaoji's side, and I don't know what I'm doing.

Chen Xiao wiped his hair and walked over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

As the aisle approached, he realized that Gu Shi'an was looking at the memo on his phone.I don't know what to remember.

Hearing his voice, Gu Shi'an realized that she had been sitting for a long time, her feet were numb, she couldn't stand up for a while, so she turned to look at Chen Xiao, and said, "Next Wednesday is my grandma's birthday, can you come with me?" Go there together?"

Last time the old lady asked the two of them to eat together, she didn't go, and she won't go to the birthday party this time...

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, vaguely remembering that the old lady's birthday was in winter, so she nodded and said, "Okay, call me when the time comes."

Gu Shian just said thank you.

The time until the end of the year was busy, Gu Shi'an received a call from Li Ran at noon, saying that she was near their company and asked her to go out for dinner together, and by the way, talk about her house renovation.

She always said that she was not in a hurry, and let Gu Shi'an finish what she was doing first, but she didn't know why she became anxious again this time.

From what Luo Yun said last time, Gu Shi'an knew that the house renovation was just an excuse for her.She didn't have the energy to spend on this, so she said directly: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Li, I have a lot of things at hand, and I may not be able to help you with your house. This matter has been delayed for a long time, and I am embarrassed to continue to delay it." You should find someone else directly. There are many excellent seniors in our company, if you need it, you can come here and ask your colleagues to recommend it to you.”

She left herself clean.

Li Ran was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Shi'an, did I misunderstand you somewhere?"

Gu Shi'an picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, "Senior Sister Li, you are worrying too much. It's because I have a lot of things at hand, although you said that you are not busy. But I can't keep dragging you down like this."

There was just the right amount of apology in her tone.

Li Ran didn't speak for a while on the other end of the phone. After dozens of seconds, she pretended to smile lightly and said, "Okay, since you're busy, I won't bother you. If the business is not good, I'll be in your company Nearby, come out and have a meal together?"

What she said made Gu Shian find no reason to refuse, she smiled and said yes.After agreeing on a place, I hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an and Li Ran agreed on a coffee shop, and when she arrived, Li Ran had already arrived, ordered two cups of coffee, but hadn't ordered food yet.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, she beckoned.

Gu Shi'an walked over quickly, then smiled and called Senior Sister Li.

With exquisite makeup on Li Ran's face, she pushed the menu in front of Gu Shi'an, and said with a smile, "I'm not familiar with this area, and it's not convenient to park, so I found this place. I heard that the simple meals here are delicious."

Gu Shi'an smiled slightly, but he was not polite. He took the menu and ordered a fried noodle.

Li Ran ordered the same as hers, gave the menu to the waiter, and said with a smile: "When I was abroad, I felt sick from eating fried noodles, but I miss it when I come back."

Gu Shi'an smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Why did Senior Sister Li come back all of a sudden? Last time I heard from Senior Brother Chen that you had planned to settle there."

Li Ran turned her head and thought for a while, and said with a faint smile: "It seems that I have really planned that for a while. But I just thought about it that way. No matter how good it is abroad, it is just someone else's homeland. Of course, I have to come back. .”

Gu Shian nodded now.She couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she drank her coffee and said nothing.

Li Ran didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't speak.After a while, he smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently? I saw you at your company's reception that day. There were too many people and I didn't say hello. I didn't see you when I went to find you." Saw your trace."

When she mentioned the reception, Gu Shi'an thought of that shiny skirt.She smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sister Li was very beautiful that day."

"Even you make fun of me." Li Ran said angrily.She paused slightly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "What's the use of being beautiful, you haven't married yet."

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now, and it happened that the waiter brought fried noodles, and she took it.

This obviously failed to interrupt Li Ran's thoughts. She paused, and then said: "Marriage is really a technical job. It is hard to find the right person. Even if it is a so-so marriage, a marriage that exists in name only, It's better not to. If my husband is not pretending to be me, I can't accept this kind of marriage without self-esteem. "

She said with a shrug, an understatement.

But these words did not refer to Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao.

Gu Shian paused while eating noodles.She just smiled, and before she could speak, Li Ran continued, "Shi'an, you and your husband should have a good relationship, right?"

She acted like this, as if what she said just now was just casual.

She likes to play charades, and Gu Shi'an simply does charades as well.Without revealing it, he smiled lightly and said, "It should be okay. After all, feelings are like drinking water, knowing how warm and cold they are. Looking at the bad feelings, people in the game may be more likely than others. Many people live happily. And those feelings that look beautiful on the surface may not be imagined, others see it so good."

Her tone was casual, as light as water.

Just as she was talking, her cell phone rang, and she said sorry and picked up the phone.

The call was from Xiao Wang, asking when she would return to the company.There are clients waiting for her.

Gu Shi'an simply stopped doing it now, stood up after hanging up the phone, and said with a slight smile: "Sorry, Senior Sister Li, there is something urgent in the company. I have to leave first."

She was polite, and she didn't forget to buy the bill before she left.

Li Ran sat still, watching her back and narrowing her eyes slightly.

Gu Shi'an walked a long way before slowing down.Li Ran came to her again and again, and it was exhausting.

However, she really did it too much.The person she should be looking for is not her, but Chen Xiao.

Moreover, when she came here like that, she didn't let go of it.I don't know what it means.

She wasn't full for this meal, so she packed a takeaway outside and returned to the company.

Gu Shi'an hated Li Ran's repeated visits to her. When Chen Xiao came to look for her after get off work in the afternoon, she said calmly, "Senior Sister Li Ran came to see me today."

Chen Xiao paused slightly when he heard Li Ran's name, looked at Gu Shi'an, and asked casually, "Why is she here looking for you?"

He didn't know whether it was true or false.

Gu Shian didn't care about it, and said: "Her house needs to be renovated." After a slight pause, she continued: "By the way, she also showed me her house and car. Her house is mature in the city center. In the neighborhood, what about the car? It’s a big Benz.”

There were probably some other emotions in her tone. Chen Xiao frowned, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Just say what you want to say, and don't make detours for me."
