long-term marriage

Chapter 23

The meal was very boring, and it was a little tasteless to Qiao Zhi. It was a rare thing for Gu's father to be silent today.

Qiao Zhi didn't speak, and Gu Yechen was reticent, so naturally she didn't say much. Gu's mother glanced at the three silent people on the table, frowned, and put a chopstick dish into Qiao Zhi's bowl, "Xiao Zhi, what's the matter with you?" Are you busy in the company for two days?"

Qiao Zhi raised her head and forced a smile, "Fortunately, I'm not very busy."

Mother Gu looked at her slightly pale face, "I don't think you look well, are you sick?"

"No, I'm a little tired from shopping with Ye Qing today. There's nothing to worry about, mom." Listening to Gu's mother's loving words, Qiao Zhi felt that the tears she had endured for a whole day were about to fall, and she hurriedly lowered her head to grab the bowl. Don't dare to look up.

Gu's mother became more and more puzzled. She looked at Gu's father and wanted to show him to look at Qiao Zhi, but she saw that Gu's father was staring at the dishes on the table in a daze. After stepping on it, Gu's father frowned and looked at Gu's mother in confusion, with a suspicious expression of 'what are you doing', Gu's mother gave him an angry look.

Qiao Zhi put down the chopsticks in her hand, said that she was done eating, and got off the dining table. Gu Yechen looked over and saw that there was still more than half a bowl of rice left in Qiao Zhi's bowl, and she didn't eat a few bites at all. Gu's mother gave Gu Yechen a wink to let him Follow the past to see.

Gu Yechen hesitated a little, got up and followed, Qiao Zhi sat on the sofa, stared at the TV, kept pressing the remote control back and forth in her hand, seemingly concentrating, but it was not difficult to find that her mind was not at all this above.

The sofa beside her was slightly collapsed, Qiao Zhi's body tensed up suddenly, and she subconsciously clenched her lower lip. Seeing her guarded look, Gu Yechen raised his hand and pressed the center of her eyebrows, feeling a little weak. He had only a little experience with feelings. It's just that a girl wrote him a love letter confession in college, or she jumped out suddenly on the road and said nervously, "Gu Yechen, I like you, can you be my boyfriend?"

For the former, he threw away those letters with pink florals without even reading them, while for the latter, he often ignored them with a blank face.

So in the face of Qiao Zhi, apart from the sensitivity and delicacy bestowed on him by the army, which allowed him to quickly detect the changes in Qiao Zhi's mood, he was really helpless and helpless.

Tai Ling once said that women are emotional and like to make trouble for no reason. They occasionally show their power at you and make small temper tantrums. In fact, they hope that you will notice them and coax her, so don’t analyze them with a man’s meticulous logic. The reason for the fire for no reason.

Tai Ling also said that a woman is a mollusk soaked in sea water. You thought you caught her, and when you slipped your hand, you realized that it was empty except for the slight astringency in the palm of your hand, while they looked at you with a smug smile. Therefore, you must know how to retract and release freely, and you can hold them firmly in the palm of your hand.

Gu Yechen racked his brains to recall those words that he dismissed, and finally found that what Tai Ling said was actually nonsense, which did not help the current situation at all, because from his understanding, Qiao Zhi was not someone who likes to make trouble for no reason. A woman who likes to play tricks.

Gu Yechen gave up these flashy analysis, looked at the quiet woman beside him, sighed slightly in his heart, raised his hand to caress her forehead, worried, "Why, is it uncomfortable?"

Because of his actions, Qiao Zhi got up in a panic, avoiding his hand, with a slight trembling in her voice, "I'm fine..."

Gu Yechen has never tried to do things so forward and backward. He has always adhered to the survival rule that no one offends me, and I don’t offend others. He only cares about his relatives and friends, and does not need to be soft on his enemies. This is his principle of doing things.

But what is Qiao Zhi?He was not sure, in the past he regarded her as a relative, as long as he treated her well, but was it just a relative?No, what kind of relationship was that? It was on the verge of coming out, but at this time things were out of his control.

Gu Yechen was a little irritable, as if whenever something about Qiao Zhi came up, he would lose his original composure and become confused.

Looking straight at her with deep eyes, he grasped Qiao Zhi's small hand hanging by his side with his big hand, and said in an irresistible tone, "Let's go upstairs and talk."

Qiao Zhi's hand slightly tried to break free from him, but Gu Yechen held her tightly and wouldn't let go, even pulling her to the front of her body forcefully, while the other hand was imprisoned in her slender body. waist.

"Let go of me, Gu Yechen." Qiao Zhi put a hand on his chest, looked up at him, and there seemed to be anger in her eyes.

Qiao Zhi has always been docile and considerate, and it was rare for Gu Yechen to look at each other angrily. He even called her in the morning, and her tone was soft, but within half a day, how could there be such a big change?

"If you want Mom and Dad to watch jokes, let's just stay in this stalemate..." Gu Yechen bowed his head and whispered in her ear, as if threatening.

The breath from his lips hit her ears, and Qiao Zhi's heart palpitated for a moment. She glanced at Gu's father and mother who pretended to clean up the table but kept staring at her. Qiao Zhi convinced herself that it would be good to talk, What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth.

Seeing that Qiao Zhi had calmed down, Gu Yechen breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her waist, and took her hand to go out.

The familiar ringtone rang, Gu Yechen took out his phone and wanted to hang up, but frowned when he saw the name displayed on the phone, and picked it up.

Not knowing what the other party said, Gu Yechen's face changed drastically, "What, you lost him?"

Qiao Zhi only felt that the warmth was gone as soon as her hands were loosened. Gu Yechen grabbed his suit jacket and ran out with an ugly face, "I'll go there right away..."

Seeing Gu Yechen rush out the door, Gu's father and mother stood up and walked over.

"What's the matter, Xiaozhi, what made Xiaochen so anxious?" Gu's mother was a little dissatisfied.

Qiao Zhi only felt her stomach twitch, and her little face turned pale for a moment, but she forced a smile, "There must be something urgent!" Although she didn't hear what he said on the phone, she heard that it was a Nice female voice.

It was rare for Gu's father not to insult Gu Yechen, but just looked in the direction of the door thoughtfully.

At night, with a bright moon in the sky, it is as quiet as water.

A small body was quietly curled up in a corner of the big bed, the wall lamp was emitting a dim light, the other side of the bed was as clean as new, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and Gu Yechen still hadn't come back.

Qiao Zhi opened her eyes wide and looked at the white wall. Her stomach was throbbing with pain, but she was indifferent. Some pains were much more painful than this one. She didn't understand it before, but when she understood it, it was because she felt her It hurts.

Ye Qing likes to read chicken soup for the soul to her as jokes, she remembers a saying that said 'in love, whoever is tempted first will lose first', at that time she just smiled and didn't care, but now I feel that this sentence is so apt to explain her situation, as if I just had the sweetness of being in love yesterday, but today I have suffered a tragic loss of love.

The tears that had been held back for a day finally fell silently.
