Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Xia Tian opened up its color box little by little, rendering the city streets more and more colorful.Originally, I had agreed with Xiao Xiao to go to Beijiushui in Laoshan this weekend to relax the nerves that had been strained for several months. Unexpectedly, on Saturday morning, Luo Mei called and said that there was a manuscript to be translated, because he had to rush to the book fair. , the draft was urgent than usual, Gu Haiyang was a little embarrassed, he hadn’t gone out with Xiao Xiao for a long time, he was busy making money all day long, his whole heart was so tired that thick moss grew, So she told Luo Mei that she was a little tired and didn't really want to take this book, and asked her to find someone else to translate it.

When Luo Mei heard this, she was anxious, almost crying and said, "Don't play tricks on this big bone, okay?"If others can translate it well, I won’t force you. This is the company’s top book, and if I can’t keep up with the book market, I’m doomed. Seeing Gu Haiyang's hesitation, Luo Mei sighed and said: It's so hard to find a man.The voice was faint, with traces of crying. Gu Haiyang couldn't bear it, he breathed a sigh of relief: Is this book really so urgent and so important to you? What a smart woman Luo Mei is, she immediately said: "My tears are about to fall, do you think it's urgent?"

Gu Haiyang snorted, and when she saw something lacking, she attacked like a gust of wind: Don't ask questions, just take the original text and brew the style of writing, I'll wait for you at the company.After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, not allowing him to hesitate to refuse. Gu Haiyang was stunned for a while, not in a good mood, and called Xiao Xiao sullenly, saying that it was impossible to go to Beijiushui, and there was a job that was too urgent. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao is not the kind of woman who messes around. It's okay, she goes shopping during the day, and goes to him for dinner at night.

Gu Haiyang felt sorry for her, a woman in love, who wouldn't want to spend time with her beloved every day, even though she could find ten thousand reasons to complain about her busyness... But in the end, he still couldn't forgive himself and chose another She is not unqualified for this kind of relaxed and comfortable love. The mood of being burnt out and gloomy, even the sun is affected, the streets are full of yellow, the buses are empty on weekends, it is so easy on weekends, except for unmarried young people who have love but not love, most people choose to recuperate at home, trying to get rid of Get rid of the exhaustion of the week, stay until Monday, and then devote yourself to the fight for a living and the workplace.

There are a lot of empty seats on the bus, and he doesn't want to sit. Holding the ring, his body swings with the swaying of the bus, and he doesn't bother to make any balance adjustments. After all, the weekend is a rest day, and people on the street are strolling lazily. Occasionally, there are a few men with shaggy hair and beards, sloppy slippers, carrying fried dough sticks and milk slowly wandering in the direction of home. Gu Haiyang sighed, relaxation has become a comfort in the fast-paced life of urbanites luxury. The company is very quiet, and Luo Mei is alone. She is in a good mood. On the small coffee table next to the writing desk, she is using an alcohol stove to brew rich coffee. When she sees him coming in, she takes out two thin and transparent painted coffee cups from the cupboard. , looking at him, beckoning him to sit down, only the gurgling sound of coffee being poured in the writing room, and the bitter aroma spread in the air.

I knew you wouldn't die.Lome handed him the coffee. The words were very sweet, but Gu Haiyang just felt very tired, and was not in the mood to appreciate how much gold was in these words, so he took a sip of his coffee and said: "Information." Luo Mei stirred the coffee with a small spoon, leaned on the writing table and looked at him with a smile: I found that you are a complete workaholic, no matter how urgent the manuscript is, it will not be too late. Gu Haiyang leaned back, and every joint in his body felt sour as if they were about to separate from each other. Seeing Luo Mei staring at him intently, his eyelashes were upturned very nicely. Luo Mei was not like the skinny beauties that are popular nowadays. Very fleshy, but exquisite, very similar to Hong Kong actor Cai Shaofen, with a slightly upturned mouth, and eyes that seem a little surprised when looking at people.Gu Haiyang smiled embarrassedly: I feel very tired these days, and I want to go home early to rest.

Luo Mei still looked at him with good eyes: your complexion is not very good, are you going to have a fever?After speaking, he put down the coffee cup, reached out to touch his forehead, and his expression became serious: You have a fever, take a rest for two days, take the manuscript back, no matter how urgent I am, I can't bear to force a feverish person to rush to work. She put her soft and cold hand on her forehead, Gu Haiyang felt a little uncomfortable, and said: No way, I rarely have a fever.As he spoke, he reached out to touch his forehead, taking the opportunity to remove Luo Mei's hand.

Well, it seems to be a bit hot, and it will be fine after going home and sleeping.Put the materials in the bag, and leave when you want to get up. After all, there is only a single man and a widow, and Luo Mei's excessive intimacy makes his heart pound. He doesn't want to have any entanglements with any woman other than Xiao Xiao, even if it's just a game. His responsibility is a man's virtue, and he also knows that lust is a beast that is difficult to control, and if it is given a small gap, it will make waves. Hey, it's not a matter of being a little hot. You have a high fever. If you don't believe me, compare your forehead with mine.Luo Mei hugged his neck across the coffee table, and pressed his forehead against his forehead: Does it feel like my forehead is cold? This means that your body temperature is at least two or three degrees higher than normal, and sleeping won't solve the problem , You need to see a doctor to take medicine.

Gu Haiyang acted like a fool, pushed her away either in embarrassment or not, giggled twice, avoided his head and said, "Okay, I'll go see a doctor right away." Seeing this, Luo Mei was also a little embarrassed, two patches of blush bloomed on his face: I will drive you to the hospital. No, the hospital is very close to my home.Gu Haiyang left Luo Mei's office with what he thought was a calm posture, and only saw it when he entered the elevator. His eyes flashed with joy, like a thief entering a house, and the master came back before he started stealing, and he just escaped in time without revealing it. trace.

Luo Meiyi smiled faintly on the writing table for a while, and then she became sad. In front of men, she had always had to run away, and would never take the initiative, but the man in front of her escaped from her ambiguous trap like a breeze. She picked up Gu Haiyang's leftover coffee, sniffed it, pressed it to her lips, and sipped little by little until the cup was empty, and tears fell down suddenly: Secret love, this person does not drink tea cold.In loneliness, imagine that man who claims to love her like his life must be hugging his wife now. Qiu Chunmeng never got up, and he once told her with an attitude of asking for credit that he had sex with his wife with his eyes closed for the sake of convenience. Imagine the wife under her as her.She listened with a Xihe smile, stroking his temples from time to time, but he would never know what kind of cold sneer was in her heart at that moment.

It was humiliating for her to fantasize his wife as her when courting. The kind of physical pleasure he described to her reminded her of whoring, and both he and his wife belonged to the prostitutes. Whoring his wife, whoring himself with too much camouflaged love, is second only. Many men have been playing this game for a lifetime. Before a man suitable for marriage appears, she will play this game with a man, because, She is so afraid of emotional desolation that she tolerates false prosperity. Just as she believes that Gu Haiyang knows that she likes him, she knows that her feelings for him are more than liking. She is not a seductive net in front of this man, but is regarded as a person who is used to prove herself again and again. The touchstone of sincerity in a woman's love. The more he dodges, the more fascinated she is, just like when she was a child trying to find the chocolates hidden by her mother, she knows that finding these hidden chocolates will hurt her teeth. However, its fascinating taste made her unable to do anything. However, she also knew that if Gu Haiyang was her favorite chocolate, she was destined to fail to get that one after all her efforts, leaving her daydreams and sentimentality in vain. All temptations are just unwillingness. Walking on the road, Gu Haiyang felt more and more dull in his head, as if thousands of troops were galloping, his temples were exploding and hurting, as if he was stepping on a cloud, he lazily raised his eyes to look at the sky, the sun was throwing Countless sharp steel needles pierced his eyes, and he was dizzy for a while. He stood holding a locust tree for a while, and continued to look at Tianxiao. Over the years, he has been used to being stubborn and strong, and he has forgotten the body that carries the fragile life. He always uses ideals as an excuse to abuse it even more and make it suffer grievances. The people who passed by were in a hurry. Occasionally, some people turned their heads to see the man who was holding on to the crumbling tree. A middle-aged man on a dilapidated bicycle even stopped beside him and asked him: Brother, are you okay? He shook his head, smiled, let go of the hand holding the tree, and the middle-aged man pedaled his bicycle and continued on. The two snakeskin pockets on the back seat of the bicycle made a clear sound of glass colliding with the shaking. The one with the empty wine bottle has healthy thick legs and thick fingers, and there is black mud hidden in the nails that can never be washed off. The old bicycle is carrying the happiness of his wife and children, and his hope. Gu Haiyang waved his hand at his back, although he didn't look back, he continued to walk forward, went in to buy medicine when he passed by a pharmacy, bought a bottle of water in a small kiosk, and ate it while standing on the side of the street. While taking the medicine, I suddenly remembered that this was the first time in my life to surrender to the pain, and I had to resort to medicine. Perhaps because I never took medicine, when I went upstairs, I felt less floating under my feet. I didn't even change my slippers, so I threw my body into the sofa, closed my eyes, didn't want to think about anything, just wanted to sit quietly for a while, and vaguely heard someone going upstairs. When I was bored, my hearing was the most sensitive, and my footsteps followed The front stopped, not only one person. He guessed to himself, who is it? The doorbell rang. It was Xiao Xiao's mother, followed by a middle-aged man, Gu Haiyang hid his wonder, and said with a smile: "Auntie, come in quickly." The man behind Xiao Xiao's mother looked at Gu Haiyang and asked: Who is this? My son-in-law, Xiao Gu. The man was a little displeased: there are people living in this house, how can I buy it? Gu Haiyang's head buzzed, and he looked at Xiao Xiao's mother. Xiao Xiao's mother ignored the puzzlement in his eyes, and said to the man with a pleasant face: Don't worry, as long as you pay the deposit, we will vacate the house. Gu Haiyang's heart flashed for a moment, and he understood that Xiao Xiao's mother was going to sell the house to the man, and she brought someone to see the house today.He suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the palms of his hands were dripping with sweat. He didn't know how to say it properly, and he didn't know how to say it so as not to be misunderstood, so he pretended to be happy and opened all the doors one after another. Introduce the specific area of ​​each room and the comfort of living to the man who inspects the house. While looking at the house, the man picked on the faults of the house, struggling to bargain with Xiao Xiao's mother.Gu Haiyang couldn't help, so he just followed by his side, trying his best to look happy, in his heart, beating drums up and down, unable to guess Xiao Xiao's mother's intentions. After being picky for a long time, the man didn't decide whether to buy it or not. He just said that he would take his wife to see it some other day. After the man left, Xiao Xiao's mother took a sip of the tea Gu Haiyang handed over, and looked at him: Xiao Gu, I want to sell this house, and then... Gu Haiyang hurriedly waved his hands: Auntie, the housing price is high right now, so sell it if you can, I can tell you. Xiao Xiao's mother sighed softly, and said: Cough, this house was originally reserved for your wedding, since... let's sell it. Holding the teacup, Xiao Xiao's mother paused a few times before saying, "I'm selling this house for you. As long as Xiao Xiao is happy, I will trade my life. She is my lifeblood." I understand, Auntie, that I failed your good intentions.Gu Haiyang acted very relaxed and happy: My mother is the kind of conservative and stubborn person. She has suffered so much in this life, and I don't want my wedding to make her feel regretful. Auntie, please forgive me. Xiao Xiao's mother said she got it, put down the teacup, said she was going back to make lunch, and asked if he was going to eat there? Gu Haiyang pointed to the information bag on the coffee table: I just accepted a private job, and I want to get out early. She flipped through the materials casually and said not to work too hard, cook some dishes for Xiao Xiao to bring in the afternoon. Gu Haiyang sent it downstairs, and Xiao Xiao's mother walked a few steps and turned back: By the way, I have registered with the real estate agency company, and there will probably be many people coming to see the house in the past few days. If you are at home, I will not come Well, let the people from the intermediary company directly come and knock on the door. Also, it is estimated that it will not be sold for a while, so you can live in peace of mind. When you have paid the deposit, you will temporarily move to live at home. There is a room available. Gu Haiyang said yes, watched Xiao Xiao's mother go away, and stayed downstairs for a while, turned upstairs, stood at the door for a while, suddenly didn't want to go in, so he kicked the anti-theft door one after another, and the neighbor on the opposite side poked his head and asked: Locked the keys at home? Gu Haiyang snorted, the neighbor smiled and closed the door. Gu Haiyang reached into his pockets for the keys, pocket by pocket. In fact, he knew the keys were in his trouser pocket, but he refused to touch them. He didn't want to enter the house. However, all his things are inside, and he doesn't know where to go. In the end, she opened the door and sat on the sofa for a while, wondering why Xiao Xiao's mother wanted to sell the house. Could it be that she was angry with him because he refused to get married in this house?It doesn't look like it either. Although Xiao Xiao's mother was very pertinent, and let him move in after selling the house, but in his heart, he still couldn't help it. It felt like a poor person with sensitive self-esteem who borrowed a bucket of rice from relatives when he was out of business. The relatives came and clamored that there was no rice for the pot before they were beaten, and the feeling was like setting their hearts on fire, which was unbearable. Gu Haiyang was in a state of confusion. He dug out the manuscript and knew every word, but it was difficult to connect it into a vivid Chinese sentence, so he threw it on the table, strolled downstairs for a while, and walked into a street by the side of the street. I went to a real estate agency, took the rental information and rummaged through it, and found a house that was suitable for me, so I asked the people from the agency to take a look, made a decision on the spot and paid the deposit. After finding the house, Gu Haiyang felt much more relieved. He ran home, packed his things and found that he had a lot of property. If he had to carry it on his shoulders, it would be impossible, so he dug out old newspapers to find a moving company. After playing around, several moving companies said that this weekend, the job has already been booked, and it will take at least two or three days to move him. Gu Haiyang hung up the phone, only to remember that he hadn't eaten lunch after being busy for a long time, and his muscles and joints began to ache. He opened the refrigerator, and there was still a lot to eat, but he didn't have an appetite, so he took the medicine. Lie on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. Asleep, fell asleep, felt warm tenderness crawling on his face, opened his eyes, saw Xiao Xiao was cuddling beside him, kissing his face with watery tenderness in his eyes, he smiled, turned over and wanted to hug her , but the whole body seems to be disobedient, acting slowly and with difficulty. Xiao Xiao pressed his forehead and called out in a low voice: You have a fever, why don't you call me? I've taken the medicine, and I'll be fine after a short sleep. No, you have a severe fever, I will accompany you to get an IV drip.Xiao Xiao turned over and jumped out of bed, looking for a coat everywhere: Where are all your clothes? Only then did Gu Haiyang remember that he hadn't told Xiao Xiao about moving in his daze, but now, he suddenly didn't know how to tell her, fearing that she would go home in a fit of anger and blame her on her mother, and that she would turn herself Seen as a man with a small stomach and small intestines who is not big enough. Now, what is the so-called fever afraid of?What's the matter with sore joints, he doesn't need to take medicine, don't need drips, just a perfect lie. Xiao Xiao opened the closet, the hand that went in stopped in mid-air, and turned around to ask: Why is the closet empty?Where are your clothes? At this moment, Gu Haiyang is like an ostrich encountering a dangerous enemy, just burying his head in his chest, without raising his head and eyes, saying that he is free and I have nothing to do. Xiao Xiao said it was inexplicable, why not put boxes in the closet?The good clothes are all crumpled. Where's the light Scottish overcoat? Gu Haiyang pointed to the corner of the wall, and Xiao Xiao realized that there were several boxes piled up on the ground. She walked over, bent down, touched the packing straps on the boxes, and looked at Gu Haiyang suspiciously: which box is it in. The top one.Gu Haiyang just wanted to quickly create a perfect lie, and didn't have the time to say more. When he raised his head, he saw that Xiao Xiao had already cut off the packing tapes of all the boxes. Without saying a word, she opened each box, took out one or two items to have a look, and put them back. The coat was draped over his shoulders and he said, "Let's go, get some drips first." It was very close to the hospital, just turned a corner and then crossed an intersection. Xiao Xiao held his arm, didn't speak, and firmly grabbed his hand when the car passed by. Lysol water mixed with the fragrance of hibiscus flowers in late spring flowed in the hospital yard, mixing a strange fragrance, Xiao Xiao let go: I will go to register first. She kept walking with her head down, a few times, and almost bumped into someone else. Gu Haiyang saw that Xiao Xiao, who said he was sorry, had a trance-eyed look and was preoccupied. He knew that it was those boxes that crushed her heart. She had been asking questions like a cannonball for a long time, but today he was sick and had a fever, so she temporarily endured her confusion and grievance. She was about to move soon, and she couldn't hide it. After the IV was put on in the infusion room, Gu Haiyang held her hand and said, "It's so cool." Then, there were not many people in the infusion room with her. Whether it was the infusion provider or the companion, their faces were nothing but sick and sad. This is one of the reasons why he has been reluctant to go to the hospital. When you enter the hospital, you will be sickened by this tragic atmosphere, and feel the desolation of life's impermanence. There was really nothing to see in the infusion room, so Xiao Xiao just looked at the plain white corridor, the people who came and went hurriedly walked with solemn faces, occasionally there was a cry of a child or a family member of a patient. In the face of disease, no one can be redeemed by God. Doctors are their only God, and medicine is the food that God gives them to survive. However, they are so indifferent to the faces of doctors who are used to life and death that they panic. Halfway through the drip, Gu Haiyang obviously felt much more relaxed. He pulled Xiao Xiao: I'm going to move out. The voice was so small that only the two of them could hear it. Xiao Xiao bent over, turned his face, and looked at him: reason. Sooner or later, I have to move, and it is just right to move when it is not too cold or hot. lie!Xiao Xiao looked at the child who was getting an infusion not far away, and his mother stuffed his crying mouth with unscrewed pack of inhaled jelly, and smiled with tears still hanging on his face. She will know sooner or later that lying is nothing more than a problem that will be exposed sooner or later. Gu Haiyang accompanied her to watch the child suck jelly, and said like a self-talk: Auntie will come over in the morning and let me move home to live. Xiao Xiao looked at him, and burst out laughing: My mother is probably worried about your reluctance to marry me, for fear that you would run away and move back so that she can watch over you. But, I don't want to. Why? I'm afraid I won't get used to it, so... I went out and found another house. If you don’t move, just say no, why go out to find a house, your money is gone? Auntie said...the house is going to be sold, don't worry about it, anyway, the house has been found, and I will talk to my aunt another day, and I won't move back home. Mom, what does she mean... It is estimated that they want me to move back home, so that life will be more convenient. Then I have to ask if you are willing or not?Xiao Xiaomei's eyes widened, and she stood up awkwardly: I'll ask her what's going on.As he said that, he ran outside. Gu Haiyang wanted to stop him, but he was still infused with fluids. He couldn't care less about it. He took off the drip bottle and called Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao, and chased him outside. That night, all the pedestrians on Huangtai Road Seeing such a funny scene, a woman whized through the underground passage, the sound of crisp heels hitting the ground echoed faintly in the long passage, and she emerged from the cocoon from the other end of the underground passage like a white butterfly , followed by a man holding a drip bottle. Xiao Xiao ignored Gu Haiyang who was behind him, and Gu Zi hailed a taxi and drove away in the night of the city.Gu Haiyang chased after a few steps, and the cars following him quickly isolated the taxi Xiao Xiao was riding in from his sight. He sat dejectedly on the isolation pier. Quick, he was a little dizzy, too lazy to go back to the hospital, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, pulled out the bottle, and threw the bottle into the trash can on the side of the street. He wanted to go to Xiao Xiao's house, but halfway there, he turned back. It is inevitable that Xiao Xiao and his mother will have a war of words. How embarrassing it would be for him to let the fuse go. Usually Xiao Xiao is very gentle, but this does not mean that she is soft and has no personality. Anxious, she is like an anxious little beast with beautiful teeth. He has seen it before, that weekend enjoying the sunshine by the sea, that peddler who tried to renege on the money, let her fully demonstrate her sharp teeth, so far He still remembered the embarrassing face of the peddler begging Xiao Xiao for mercy. Afterwards, he still teased her. In order to get back the justice of one yuan, he ended up spitting on two bottles of mineral water. She refuted him confidently: let him succeed, Instead of thanking you, he laughs at your stupidity. This is no longer a dollar, but a question of justice and evil. The mother looked at her aggressive daughter dumbfounded: What's wrong? ask yourself? !Xiao Xiao gulped down a glass of water. Did you eat dynamite?Mom snatched the cup and mixed half a cup of hot water for her: I also forgot that drinking cold water would make my stomach hurt. Why are you selling your house?Is it because he is afraid that Haiyang will occupy that house or because he is not pleasing to the eye?Xiao Xiao crossed his arms, but didn't take the water his mother handed over. Mom put down the water and looked at her faintly: That house was originally reserved for you to get married, but you guys don’t want to get married in that house, I can tell, if you don’t buy the house, Xiao Gu won’t get married Yes, he is working so hard now to get married as soon as possible. Didn't you see that he is almost as thin as a bamboo pole now?It’s tiring. If you keep fighting like him, even hard-working people won’t be able to endure it. Cough, if you want to blame it, you have to blame his stubborn country mother who insists on her son getting married in her own house. There are no bad customs in the city. Getting married in the house of the woman's house is a marriage? Can you solve the problem by selling the house? come over.Mom patted the sofa: I'm going to sell this house. Firstly, the down payment for buying the house will be settled. Secondly, the house is newly bought. Mother Haiyang will feel at ease. I don't want to exhaust my son-in-law's body. Xiao Xiao knew that she had wronged her mother, and said with a grin, "Okay, I know you're doing it for me, but you should also accommodate us." As far as Haiyang’s character is concerned, even if I tell him, he is also ten thousand reluctant, and he is unwilling from the bottom of his heart. Today I told him that the house is sold and let him move here for a while. You buy it. After leaving the house, move out. Xiao Xiao frowned wrinkled his nose: Since you know Haiyang so well, you thought he would move here. Xiao Xiao told her mother that Gu Haiyang had rented the house, and her mother sighed and said: I wonder if he might misunderstand me, please explain it for me. Xiao Xiao knew that the fire that entered the door had wronged her mother, so she hugged her mother's neck and coquettishly for a while, and her mother also understood that this was her daughter's apology, so she tapped her forehead and said: Remember, everything my mother does is for you Okay, go to bed early, and tell Haiyang what mother means tomorrow morning. It was only then that Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered that Gu Haiyang was still running a fever, and thinking of him chasing after him madly with an IV bottle, his heart ached: No, I'll go now. It's nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow. Xiao Xiao hurriedly said: He has a high fever, and he is on drips. Oh, I'm tired, I can't do it, I have to sell the house quickly, by the way, it's good to eat watermelon if you have a fever, there is it in the refrigerator, I also bought a chicken today, you can take it, it will be better if you have a fever and drink some chicken soup. Mother packed the things neatly, and Xiao Xiao smiled when she took it: It is said that mothers-in-law love sons-in-law with hairy feet the most, so I have seen it. Mother opened the door for Xiao Xiao, smiled and said: Poor mouth, why does mother-in-law love son-in-law?Isn't it just to impress him and let him treat his daughter better. Xiao Xiao poked his head in and asked ghostly: Mom, Haiyang has a fever, can I stay there to take care of him tonight? Your skin is getting thicker.Mom smiled and said through the crack of the door: Take good care of him, let him not ask for money or life, if not, let him quit those jobs.
