Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 69 No need to apologize
Gu Shi'an felt a little dazed when recalling the past. Gu Lan seldom went back home after getting married, and the time they met was only a handful. She originally wanted to ask how Gu Lan was doing, but Now is not the time to speak, she did not speak.

The two had reached the door of the old lady's room at this moment, Gu Lan knocked on the door, brought Gu Shi'an into the room, and said with a smile: "Grandma, Shi'an is here."

The old lady was letting her aunt fix her hair, and when she saw the two of them, she smiled kindly, took Gu Shi'an's hand, and asked, "Why did you come here so early?"

Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "It's your birthday, of course I have to come here early. I can cook two special dishes for you if you want to eat."

The old lady agreed with a smile.

The old lady's hair is already silvery white and sparse.Gu Shian's heart was unstoppable.After grandpa passed away, the huge Gu family was supported by grandma. She always thought grandma was powerful.Unexpectedly, before she knew it, she was still old.

She motioned for her aunt to go down, and she and her cousin combed the old lady's hair.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the room, and the old lady didn't go out until the aunt came to ask the old lady to say that there was a guest.

The old lady has many old friends, and guests come over all day long.Gu Shi'an's status in the Gu family is undoubtedly embarrassing, and few people even know that the Gu family has such a granddaughter.

There were a lot of guests, and she was going to say hello.But her great aunt treats her like a guest and doesn't let her interfere at all.

She wanted to cook two dishes for the old lady, but she was stopped by the aunt inside as soon as she entered the kitchen, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady said that you are a guest, so it is not good for you to cook these."

Gu Shi'an was completely left alone.

She has been used to this kind of treatment since she was a child.He was no longer annoying, and found a quiet place by the window to stay.

It was almost twelve o'clock, she originally wanted to call Chen Xiao, but after thinking about it for a while, she still didn't call.I plan to call again if I don't come back in the afternoon.

As soon as she put the phone in her pocket, Gu Lan came over with a plate of snacks.When she saw Gu Shi'an, she smiled and said, "I knew you were here. I won't eat until later. I remember that you liked this snack when you were young. Let's eat something to fill your stomach first."

Gu Shi'an just smiled and said, "Thank you cousin."

Gu Lan also knew that her position in the Gu family was awkward, so she paused for a moment, trying to say something, but she still didn't say anything.He asked, "Is Chen Xiao coming over?"

She asked a little cautiously.

Gu Shi'an was not at all surprised that she would ask, she didn't have to hide anything in front of Gu Lan, she forced a smile and said, "Should come."

After all, the most tacit understanding between her and Chen Xiao is to perfunctory the elders of both parties.

Gu Lan nodded with a smile.

The hall is lively, but here it is quiet.Although Gu Lan had put on makeup, it could be seen that her complexion was not very good.

Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Cousin, long time no see, how are you doing?"

She had heard Qiu Shengmin's name before, a typical second-generation ancestor, a swinger.

Because he is the youngest son in the family, he is still not doing his job properly despite his age, and he has caused a lot of misfortunes.

When Gu Lan first married, she had proposed to work outside, but was rejected by the Qiu family. A well-known college student, she was trapped in the high courtyard of the Qiu family.

Probably very few people asked her that. Gu Lan was a little dazed, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay, it's like this."

She and Qiu Shengmin didn't have any children, so it was difficult for her to live in the Qiu family.Even her mother-in-law asked the women Qiu Shengmin lived outside to have children and bring them back for her to raise.

In fact, she was pregnant, in the second year of marriage.It's just that the child was lost before she knew he existed.

Gu Lan's face showed exhaustion.She didn't want to talk about her own affairs, she looked at Gu Shi'an in silence for a while, and asked, "How are you and Chen Xiao?"

Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "It's okay."

Gu Lan fell silent now, she knew about Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao.After a while, she looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Shi'an, a person's energy is very limited. On one person, ten years is enough. Don't be too stupid to know?"

Her tone was sad, she turned her head away and looked out the window.

The corner of Gu Shi'an's mouth was so bitter, he nodded and didn't speak.

Gu Lan's appearance was preoccupied, but Gu Shi'an was still worried. He shrugged, pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said, "I've moved back to the old house now, so if you need anything in the future, call me Telephone."

Gu Lan froze for a moment when she heard this, she naturally knew what Gu Shian meant.Although she advised Gu Shi'an not to be stupid, this was not the ending she wanted to see. She wanted to say something, but in the end she just smiled miserably, "That's fine."

As she spoke, she looked up at Gu Shi'an, with a lot of emotion in her eyes, then closed her eyes again, and said softly, "Shi'an, I'm different from you."

Gu Shian is free, but she is different.

She wanted a divorce, and the first ones who disagreed were her parents, younger brother, and daughter-in-law.The Gu family is not as good as before, and they rely on the Qiu family for almost everything.If she gets divorced, it means breaking with the Qiu family.How could they agree.

Her marriage was originally an exchange of interests.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew what she was worried about.She had something to comfort her, but could find nothing to comfort her.

Gu Lan didn't need her to comfort her, and the usual smile soon appeared on her face.It was as if nothing had been said just now.

The two of them stood at the window for a while, when an aunt at home came to call Gu Shi'an, saying that Gu Shi'an's eldest aunt, Yu Jing, had asked her to entertain guests.

Gu Lan smiled apologetically at Gu Shi'an, said she would come back later, and hurriedly followed her aunt.

Gu Shi'an stood in front of the window and slowly ate the snacks given by Gu Lan.

Time flies slowly, the old lady's birthday, but there are also many entertainments.Gu Shi'an talked to the old lady very few times.

In the afternoon, Gu Su didn't know where he came back from. When he saw Gu Shi'an, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Cousin, brother-in-law hasn't come yet, right? How are you going to explain to grandma?"

She gloated.

Gu Shi'an glanced at her lightly, and said with a faint smile: "I really don't see that you care about me. How to explain is my business, so I don't need you to worry about it."

She said without looking at Gu Su, and went into the room.He found a secluded corner and called Chen Xiao again. Chen Xiao's cell phone was not turned off, but no one answered it.

In the hall, the younger generation of the Gu family was already celebrating the old lady's birthday. Gu Shi'an was anxious, so he called Chen Xiao again.

This time also no one picked up.

Gu Shi'an held the phone, his heart slowly became cold.She knew that Chen Xiao would not come again, so she didn't call again. She stood there for a while, with a usual smile on her face, and went to the hall to pay respects to the old lady on her birthday.

When Gu Shi'an left the Gu family's old house, the guests had already left. She originally wanted to explain something to the old lady, but seeing the tired look on the old lady's face, she still didn't say anything.Tell the old lady that she will come to see her another day, and leave the Gu family's old house with an indifferent smile on her aunt Yu Jing's face.

It was past nine o'clock, and she stood in the vast night, not knowing where to go.

Chen Xiao didn't call back, and the birthday banquet was over, so she didn't expect him to call back.Simply turned off the phone.

She stood blankly by the side of the road for a long time, and the snowflakes fell on her face, making her face icy cold.She didn't intend to go home, and she didn't intend to bother Chang'an again, so she found a tavern by the side of the road, sat down, ordered wine and drank slowly.

The weather is cold, and even the business of the tavern is deserted, Gu Shi'an is the only person in the small shop.

The baijiu was hot when it flowed down her throat, she drank it slowly until she was a little tipsy, then paid and left.

Gu Shi'an's head started to hurt not long after getting into the taxi, she stretched out her hand to press down hard, and closed her eyes.

The snow fell heavily, and when we went back, the community had already been covered with a thin layer.There was no one in the huge community, it was deserted.

When Gu Shi'an was standing downstairs, he suddenly remembered the thing about building a snowman downstairs with his parents when he was a child.A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she kept going upstairs with this smile, and fell heavily on the bed.

Chen Xiao's call came the next morning, and Gu Shi'an was still lying on the bed at that time, and had no intention of answering it.Just looking at it and closing my eyes.

The phone stopped vibrating after a while, but it rang again after a while.It was still Chen Xiao's call, Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, but finally picked it up and gave a hello.

Chen Xiao didn't speak for a moment on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, yesterday..."

He was interrupted by Gu Shi'an before he finished speaking. She smiled lightly and said, "There's nothing I'm sorry about, you don't have the obligation, do you?" She didn't intend to continue, so she continued Said: "Is there anything else? I'll hang up first."

This time, she hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Xiao to speak.

Probably because the wine was too strong, her head was dizzy. After saying this, she threw the phone aside and closed her eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what the lobby sister Gu Lan said, she said, Shi'an, a person's energy is very limited.Ten years is enough for one person.

Gu Shian closed his eyes tightly.She was very tired, and it took a long time before she let go of her tightly clenched hands.

The headache was so bad that she thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but she fell asleep again drowsily.

When I woke up, it was already past twelve noon, and my whole body was weak.She went to the bathroom to wash up, only to find that her face was very pale.

She washed her face with cold water to clear her mind.That's when I started washing.

She didn't eat anything all day yesterday. She stood in the bathroom for a while after washing up. She wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but the refrigerator was empty.Suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, she grabbed the rice, washed it, put it in the pot and boiled porridge.

There were no vegetables in the refrigerator, not even eggs.Gu Shi'an was a little decadent, he changed his clothes and went downstairs, planning to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some eggs and mustard.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Chen Xiao standing outside the door, smoking a cigarette. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Gu Shi'an was stunned when he saw him, and then she became exhausted. She didn't look at him, she closed the door and went downstairs.

Chen Xiao snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and followed her downstairs.The corridor was dark, and there was a moment of silence before he said, "Gu Shi'an, yesterday... I didn't mean not to answer your call."

Gu Shi'an stopped in his footsteps, and turned his head to look at Chen Xiao's handsome face in the dim light.She was slightly in a trance, then smiled lightly and said: "You don't have to come here, and you don't have to apologize. It's all over. As I said, it's not your obligation. You can go over, I appreciate you. I can't blame you for not being able to pass."

Chen Xiao was a little irritable and wanted to say something, but Gu Shi'an went downstairs without looking back.

She didn't look at him all the way, and she didn't look back.I went directly to the supermarket in the community, bought mustard greens, and bought eggs.

When she was in the supermarket, Chen Xiao didn't follow her in, and just stood at the door outside.There was no expression on a handsome face.

He is good-looking and stands out wherever he stands.People who come and go will inevitably look at him.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about him either, and went upstairs after buying something.She went upstairs, and Chen Xiao followed.When he reached the stairs, he reached out and grabbed Gu Shi'an's hand.

Gu Shi'an looked back at him now.Little by little, he broke away from his hand, and said with a weary voice: "Do you think this is interesting? The matter is over, and I also said that I don't blame you. You are busy, aren't you? I understand."

There was some misery in Gu Shi'an's tone.After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. Chen Xiao grabbed her again, looked at her, and said, "I've already bought the gift, and I'll accompany you there again. Go too, and apologize to grandma."

Gu Shi'an was slightly in a daze, and after a while, he said: "No, thank you for your kindness. I have already explained to the old lady, so you don't have to worry about it."

She said this time that she no longer looked at Chen Xiao, broke away from his hand, and went upstairs directly.

Chen Xiao didn't follow her upstairs, she stood at the stairs and smoked a cigarette before getting into the car.

Gu Shi'an returned home, stood against the door for a while, and then went to the kitchen.Although she bought the eggs, she didn't fry them in the end, and forced herself to drink a whole bowl of porridge with mustard.

After drinking the porridge, her stomach became much warmer, but her head still hurt. She found another painkiller and drank half a glass of water.The room was deserted, she wanted to do something, but couldn't find anything to do for a while, so she turned on the TV and nestled on the sofa in a daze.

She didn't know how long she was in a daze, but the phone rang, and she finally came back to her senses.

The call was from Changchun. She rubbed her throat to make her throat sound less hoarse, and then answered the phone.

She gave a feed, but Chang Xi on the other side of the phone didn't speak for a long time.After a while, he said, "Can I live in the empty house over there for a while?"

Mostly because she felt that she owed Gu Shi'an too much, it was a bit laborious for her to say this.

Gu Shi'an knew her character, he was slightly taken aback, and didn't ask her anything, but asked: "Where are you?"

She sat up from the sofa as she spoke.

Now Chang Li said the address in a low voice.

Gu Shi'an didn't tell her that he had moved here, but said, "Take a taxi and I'll wait for you at the gate of the community."

Chang Xi just said thank you, she didn't want to bother Gu Shi'an too much, and then said: "Don't bother, I'll just go to your place and get the key."

Gu Shi'an pretended to smile relaxedly and said, "I've already moved out."

Chang Li didn't expect it, and was stunned on the other end of the phone.She wanted to ask something, but it was inappropriate to ask anything now, so she fell silent.

Gu Shi'an had already gone to the entrance to change his shoes, and said, "Come here now, I really want to eat your braised pork, I'll go shopping first, you come and call me."

Chang Li on the other end of the phone said hello without saying anything.

When Gu Shi'an came back from buying vegetables, she was already waiting at the gate of the community. She was not dressed too thickly in the winter, and she still looked the same as usual.

Seeing Gu Shi'an carrying vegetables in his hands, she stepped forward to take them for her.After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of moving out?"

After all, she was still worried about Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an wanted to force a smile, but he couldn't, and said, "Maybe I'm tired."

Chang Yu stopped talking now, and the two walked towards the community.

Chang has lived here for a while and is familiar with it.Hearing that Gu Shi'an said that she wanted to eat her braised pork, she went straight into the kitchen with the vegetables and started cooking.

Gu Shi'an fought her from the side.

Chang Ji didn't say what happened, and Gu Shi'an didn't mention it either, and the kitchen was peaceful.

When cutting vegetables, Chang'an's sleeves were slightly rolled up, and Gu Shi'an noticed a large bruise on her elbow.

Gu Shi'an was about to step forward immediately, but in the end he endured it and did not move.

Chang's actions were quick, and a table of delicious dishes was ready in a short time.

Putting it on the table, she filled two more bowls of steaming rice, pushed it in front of Gu Shi'an, and said, "Eat."

Gu Shi'an thought of the bruises on her elbows, how could she have the appetite to eat.At this moment, countless thoughts had turned in her mind, and she remembered Chen Xiao's threatening words.

She was anxious in her heart, picked up the chopsticks, but did not move.After being silent for a while, looking at Chang's elbow, he finally asked, "What's going on with your hand?"

Chang'an's movements paused slightly, and he didn't look at Gu Shi'an, and said, "I accidentally knocked on it."

The more she behaved like this, the more uneasy Gu Shi'an felt.Seeing that Chang He didn't speak, her lips moved a little, and just about to say something, Chang He said, "That man is back."

Her tone was completely calm.

Gu Shi'an didn't realize it for a while, but when he did, he realized that the person she was talking about was her father.

Said to be a father, but that one has never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father for a day.

Although Chang Ji never mentioned it, Gu Shi'an knew something about it.That one is a gambler, he eats and drinks when he wins.If you lose, you will be beaten and scolded when you go home.

A few years ago, I owed money and ran away secretly. I don't know if the matter was settled or what, but I came back again.

Probably because it's been too long, Gu Shi'an has almost forgotten about such a number one person.After recovering, he asked, "Did he say when to leave?"

Chang Yan shook his head, and said flatly: "He said he came back to let me take care of him, and he doesn't plan to leave again."

That is to say, there will be no quiet days in the future.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say something, but it was Chang's family matter after all, so she fell silent and didn't speak any more.

Her heart was heavy, but Chang Xi couldn't see anything, it was probably numb, and the expression on her face was normal.

No one spoke for a while, and there was no sound at the dinner table.

In the end, Chang Li opened his mouth and asked, "How long has it been since you moved here? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's not been a few days." When she said this, she paused slightly, pretending to be relaxed, and then said: "I have nothing to move, so I didn't call you."

She didn't move anywhere, and she clearly didn't intend to let others know.

Chang Yu fell silent. He originally wanted to ask her if she had thought about it, but she didn't ask in the end.

Afterwards, no one spoke. After dinner, Gu Shi'an went to tidy up the guest room, and said, "Stay here first, and don't go back when he's there. It's quite deserted for me to live alone."

Coming from Chang's elbow, he probably moved his hand at Chang's.She was worried about going back to Gu Shi'an.

Chang Li was not polite either, and nodded in agreement.

After tidying up the guest room, Gu Shi'an went to boil water.I greeted Chang Ji, and went downstairs to buy her new toiletries.

When he came back, Chang Li was not in the living room, Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, went to the balcony and did not see her figure, and then walked to the guest room, only to find that Chang Li was smoking a cigarette standing by the window.

Her back was thin, and she just looked out of the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to call her, but he still didn't make a sound, and quietly backed out.

Chang Li stood in the room for a long time, until Gu Shi'an boiled water and knocked on the door, then she came to her senses.I don't know how many cigarettes I have smoked, but I put out the cigarette butt, and said in a daze, "Are you back?"

She probably thought that Gu Shian came back from shopping.

Gu Shi'an didn't say much, nodded, and said, "Take a shower, do you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Chang Li hummed and said, "I'm going to go."

Her face was slightly pale under the light, Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment, and asked, "Will he find your place of work?"
