long-term marriage

Chapter 19

After eating, Gu Yechen got addicted to cigarettes after cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, so he smoked on the small balcony. After Qiao Zhi finished cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, she made two cups of hot tea, took one of them and walked to the balcony to hand it over. To Gu Yechen, Gu Yechen took it and put it on the window sill.

The slender finger holding the cigarette stretched out of the window, and the other finger pointed to a flower pot on the balcony, "Is this Epiphyllum?"

Qiao Zhi followed the direction of his finger and nodded, "Well, you don't remember?" Qiao Zhi asked back.

Gu Yechen frowned and glanced at the flowerpot, a little uncertain, "Is this the one I bought back then?"

"Yeah." Qiao Zhi smiled, walked over and squatted in front of Epiphyllum, watching, "After you left, Dad moved it back home, and after I moved in, I moved it back."

"However, it hasn't bloomed since I raised it." There was a trace of disappointment in Qiao Zhi's voice.

Thinking of something, she laughed again, "It is said that epiphyllum blooms only for Wei Tuo, so it is possible that you are her Wei Tuo, so she will not bloom until she sees you..."

Qiao Zhi turned her head to look at him with a smile, her soft and gentle laughter echoed on the small balcony.

Gu Yechen smiled without saying a word, with deep eyes in his eyes.

Qiao Zhi stood up and leaned against the balcony on the other side, took a sip from the teacup, blinked, and said expectantly in her voice, "This epiphyllum has buds this year, but I don't know if it will bloom, you have seen it before Is it blooming?"

Gu Yechen took a puff of the cigarette, relaxed his body and leaned on the window sill, and shook his head, "I went to serve in the army within a few months after I bought it."

Qiao Zhi nodded, looking at Epiphyllum with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The summer evening wind blowing in through the window carried a slightly intoxicating breath, Gu Yechen narrowed his long and narrow eyes lazily, put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray on the window sill, and took two steps forward, When he came to Qiao Zhi's side, he rubbed her hair and smiled lightly, "Since there are flower buds, they will definitely bloom."

Qiao Zhi turned to look at him, "I hope!"

The four eyes met, her eyes were as clear as snow, his black eyes folded slightly, and the strange feeling that had been suppressed all night seemed to be opened and gushed out, catching him off guard and unprepared.

Qiao Zhi subconsciously straightened her waist, clenched her small hands together nervously, and looked away in a panic. Gu Yechen's slender hand slightly tossed, then slowly lifted, and finally firmly held her red face, Let her look up at him.

He lowered his head slowly, Qiao Zhi took a step back subconsciously, her back was pressed against the white tiles, and there was no way to retreat.

Gu Yechen looked at her with deep and wise eyes, like blue waves, and she couldn't help but want to indulge in it.

The small hands slowly lifted up to support his strong waist, and the heat from the thin black shirt scorched her heart through the palms.

His lips were getting closer and closer, and the slight airflow that belonged to men mixed with the faint smell of tobacco permeated Qiao Zhi's body, and Qiao Zhi slowly closed her eyes.

The hand holding her small face suddenly slipped slowly on her shoulder, and pressed her slightly hard, and his low and helpless voice came from his ear, "...I just smoked a cigarette, do you mind?"

Qiao Zhi opened her confused eyes in a daze, looked at Gu Yechen, opened her small mouth slightly, and after knowing what he said, her face flushed as if bleeding, she became angry from embarrassment, she pushed him with her small hands, bowed her head to ask Get out of his side.

The phone rang for more than a dozen times, and was picked up at the last ring, "Hello..." The voice was low and hoarse.

"Xiaochen, where are you?" Gu's mother's gentle voice came from the other end.

Gu Yechen didn't have time to see who it was just now, but when he heard Gu's mother's voice, his rationality gradually returned.

The person in his arms moved slightly and wanted to break free from him, but Gu Yechen held her slender waist and held her tightly in his arms slightly, and said with a little unsteady breath, "What's wrong, mom?"

"Xiaochen, what time is it, why don't you go home?"

Qiao Zhi buried her head deeply in Gu Yechen's arms, her chaotic heartbeat gradually calmed down, a steady and powerful heartbeat sounded from his chest, his lips were numb, his breath was still in his mouth, and there was a hint of sweetness in his heart, A hint of joy, and a hint of warmth.

Gu Yechen casually said a few perfunctory words to Gu's mother, then hung up the phone. The person in his arms was quiet, and he couldn't see her face, but he could also guess that her face was flushed at this moment. A little throbbing, he has been a soldier for so many years, and he is proud of his self-control ability. He never thought that one day this self-control ability would collapse in front of a little woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, and this feeling It doesn't seem bad, it's even nice.

Slightly drunk at night, dim street lights, singing voices from nowhere, and the faint fragrance of flowers.

After Gu's mother hung up the phone, she frowned. Gu's father pretended not to care, "Why isn't that brat coming home?"

Gu's mother was thoughtful, "Xiao Chen is calm and reticent, and Xiao Zhi has an indifferent temperament. She can't say much at first, and she doesn't go home all day and doesn't see each other. If this continues, when will the two of you see each other's eyes... "

Gu's father listened to Gu's mother's muttering there, and smiled mysteriously. Although Gu Yechen didn't make it clear what he said last night, he is his father, and father and son are connected. How could he not understand? I was moved.

But he didn't intend to point it out. One, he didn't want Gu's mother to know what happened to Qiao Zhi yesterday, so as not to worry her; Worry about it for a few more days.

Seeing Father Gu secretly laughing, Mother Gu angrily picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it over, "There are so many temptations outside now, and your son is not bad, if something happens..."

The more Gu's mother thought about it, the more wrong she became, "...and the last time I met Xiaozhi in the coffee shop, but someone with good looks and temperament would chase her again, so you can have fun, and don't cry then Come and find me..."

Gu's father glared at him, and yelled softly, "You just have a crow's mouth, don't spit twice..."

Gu's mother knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and her face was a little uncomfortable, but she still pouted a few times. It's not that she is superstitious, but it's better to be careful about some things.

It was night, when Gu Yechen opened the door, the wall lamp was on in the living room, and Gu's father was strolling back and forth with his head down.

Looking suspiciously at Father Gu, who had an ugly face, "Dad, why aren't you sleeping?"

Gu's father frowned, "You care about me?"

Gu Yechen smiled knowingly, and left a sentence, "Dad, if you can't get in the bedroom, you can sleep in the guest room, don't sleep on the sofa, it's easy to catch a cold!" Then Shi Shiran went upstairs.

Father Gu was furious, but he had no choice but to follow him upstairs to the guest room.
