Chapter 17 A Friend

"...There is a kind of love called letting go..."

On the coffee table in the living room, there is a small radio, and the radio station is playing a song.

Gu Luoqing sat curled up on the sofa, holding a warm water bag in her arms, and a blue blanket covering her legs.

Next to the sofa, there was an electric fan, which the man bought for her.

She is afraid of the cold.

However, she didn't turn on the electric heating fan, which consumes too much electricity.

Although it's winter now, it snowed last night and the temperature dropped below freezing.But still no heating.

Because the time is not up.

The temperature in the room is also very low.

Gu Luoqing had the thick "Dream of Red Mansions" on his lap, but he didn't turn the pages for a long time. He stroked the raised dots on the pages with his fingers. Those few dots represented the word CHEN.

Listening to the singing from the radio, she felt inexplicably agitated, so she took the radio and changed the station.

"...Missing is a disease..."

It was also a song, but after listening to a sentence, she changed the channel again, and it was finally not a song.

However, Gu Luoqing lost the mood to "read" a book, feeling that the room was getting dark, so he lifted the blanket and got up to turn on the light.

In comparison, she prefers a bright environment, with a vast expanse of whiteness in front of her eyes, at least she can perceive some light.Rather than pitch black.

It was getting dark, and Chen Wei was coming back soon.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the sound of a key opening the door outside.

Gu Luoqing tidied her hair with her hands, picked up the "Dream of Red Mansions" again, put it on her knees, raised her head, faced the direction of the gate, and said, "Why is it so early today?"

Chen Wei said, "It's snowing and the road is difficult to walk, so I came back early. I'll take a shower first."

With that said, he went into the bathroom.

Gu Luoqing listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

It has been a week since their last cold war.

On the third day, she took the initiative to give in, and Chen Wei was willing to communicate with her.

On the face of it, the Cold War was over.

However, she was not happy at all.

Chen Wei's treatment of her is no longer the same as before, the fiery eyes are gone, and he no longer uses lame excuses to lean towards her, and when talking to her, he doesn't have the previous pampering feeling...

She could clearly feel that he was keeping a distance from her.

Although the politeness and gentlemanly demeanor have improved, there is also a sense of alienation.

This was the relationship and distance she liked most before. All along, everything she did was to maintain such a distance from Chen Wei.

Now, she has achieved her goal.

But why aren't you happy at all?

……

During the meal, Chen Wei steamed a fish and carefully reminded her, "This fish has bones, so be careful when you eat it."

But Gu Luoqing couldn't help but think of last month, when he also ate fish, he took the initiative to pick out the spines for her, and then put the meat into the bowl in front of her.

Now, he no longer has that tenderness.

Beep.

Suddenly, the man's cell phone rang, and it was a text message alert.

Then, there was a sound of buttons, and the man was replying to the text message.

After he finished replying, he put the phone back on the table, and a few seconds later, another text message came.

For some reason, Gu Luoqing had a bad feeling in his heart.

In the past, Chen Wei seldom received text messages or phone calls.She has heard about his life experience, and knows that he has no friends, nor is he a character who likes to make friends.

Now, he chatted with people about text messages abnormally.

Who sent it to him?

male or female?
Gu Luoqing seemed to ask casually, "Who is it?"

"a friend."

The man replied, pressing the button quickly, and after putting down the phone again, it finally stopped ringing.

Gu Luoqing felt even more suspicious, but she held back and didn't ask further questions.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't know how to get along with men, it's just that she had enough capital and confidence before, so she didn't need to consider men's feelings at all, so she naturally went her own way.

……

In the next few days, Gu Luoqing felt that the momentum was getting worse and worse. When he was at home, the man's cell phone would receive text messages from time to time, and every time, he would reply in seconds.

The other party also replied in seconds.

Responding in seconds is a very delicate act.

Like herself, except for work matters, she rarely responds to other people's messages in seconds.In life, there is only one person who can make her recover in seconds.

What kind of person would Chen Wei be able to reply in seconds and send messages non-stop every day?
Another day passed, and in the evening, it seemed that her guess had been verified. After the man took a shower and cooked the meal, he told her that he had an appointment with someone and he would not be at home for dinner tonight.

Then, leaving her alone, she left.

Before leaving, he went back to his room, probably for a change of clothes.

Gu Luoqing also heard the sound of an electric razor, which was a gift from her on his birthday two months ago.

Chen Wei is not a person who pays much attention to appearance. Sometimes, he only shaves his beard once every ten days and a half, and doesn't cut his hair once every two months.

Let him shave his beard only once before going out, except for interviews, he can only go on dates with other women.

After the man went out, Gu Luoqing sat alone at the table.

It is still three dishes and one soup, today's soup is black chicken soup.

Every time, when her menstrual period is approaching, the man will cook a pot of black chicken soup.At one time, she thought that he was a Neptune who had read countless daughters.

Soup is ready.

Gu Luoqing took a sip, then put it down, and sat there blankly, smelling the aroma of the food, his whole body was surrounded by a huge sense of loneliness.

She was alone again.

This home seems to have become cold again.

She thought back to the time she lived with that man in the past six months.

Some memories of the "previous life" came to her again.

Recently, she thought less and less of her "previous life", and those things seemed to be getting more and more blurred.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Luoqing moved suddenly, picked up the bowl, and drank the already cold black chicken soup in one gulp.

Then, he got up, took a bowl of rice, and started eating.

The food was already cold, and she didn't seem to notice it.

After eating, she started to clean up and washed the dishes.

After finishing this, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

She sat on the sofa again, turned on the radio, put on a blanket, picked up the "Dream of Red Mansions", and flipped through the night when she made a mark, sliding her fingers across the small raised dots on the pages of the book.

In fact, she didn't like the half-literate style of this book.

However, the man likes this book very much, and sometimes discusses the characters and plots in the book with her.So, when she was bored, she would turn over and read a few pages.

It's been almost a month, and I've only read less than half of the first book.

Now, she "read" patiently.

This reading took just over an hour.

Just as her mobile phone announced the time, a long time after 23:[-], the door finally sounded outside.

The man is back.

He asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Gu Luoqing raised his head, smiled and said, "I'm fascinated by reading."

As the man approached, she smelled cumin and pepper, obviously just eating barbecue.

It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't spend the night outside, there is still room for redemption.

"Chen Wei."

She closed the book and called out the man's name.

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow is my birthday, can you go to the movies with me?"

"……it is good."
