long-term marriage

Chapter 4

After Qiao Zhi came out of the shower, she saw that Gu Yechen had spread a thin quilt on the floor, and all the quilts in the room had been taken away, leaving only two thin quilts.

Seeing her coming out, Gu Yechen picked up the pajamas on the bed and passed her to go to the bathroom. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Gu Yechen made a desperate step, turned around and looked at Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi squatted down in a hurry Throwing the quilt on the ground on the bed, Gu Yechen walked to the door and opened the door. Outside the door, Gu's mother was holding a glass of milk, laughing, "I'm sorry to bother you, Xiaozhi's stomach is not good, I have to drink a glass every day." Hot milk, today she hasn't drunk it yet." While talking, Gu's mother probed her head, trying to see something beyond Gu Yechen's tall body.

"Mom, do you want to come in and sit down?" How could Gu Yechen fail to see her careful thinking, moved away from her body, and made a gesture of invitation.

Mother Gu smiled awkwardly, and handed him the milk in her hand, "No need, no need, I won't disturb your rest, I'll go first..." As she spoke, she turned her head and walked towards the stairs.

Walking to the stairs, she was worried, and turned her head again. Gu Yechen was still standing at the door and looked at her, "Mom, go slowly."

"Okay, okay, you guys go to rest." Gu's mother laughed, turned and walked downstairs. This kid has been a soldier for several years, and he is becoming more and more savvy.

Gu Yechen closed the door, returned to the bedroom and handed the milk in his hand to Qiao Zhi, "Mom gave you warm milk."

Qiao Zhi took it over and said softly, "Thank you."

When Gu Yechen came out of the shower, Qiao Zhi had already lay down, the quilt was tightly covered, and she was curled up in a corner of the big bed. At first glance, it looked like a small ball, and his quilt was spread flat on the bed. the other side of the bed.

"Sleeping on the ground is actually the same as sleeping on the bed." Qiao Zhi's voice was muffled, probably covered by the quilt.

Gu Yechen was silent for a moment, reached out and turned off the light, then went to bed and lay down.

The room was dark and silent, and the sensitive sense of touch that was different from ordinary people after years of training let him know that the person lying on the bed half a meter away from him was already extremely nervous. It's so obvious that it's hard not to notice it.

Gu Yechen originally thought that she would relax gradually, but as time passed, she couldn't help but not relax, but became more and more nervous, and finally couldn't control her breathing, as if she was frightened in the silent night It became more and more obvious.

Gu Yechen frowned, turned over and sat up. Just as he was about to speak, there was another knock on the door. Gu Yechen pressed his eyebrows helplessly, got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it. With a cautious smile, "Excuse me, excuse me..."

Gu Yechen smiled helplessly, "Mom, what else do you need?"

Gu's mother glanced in from under Gu Yechen's arm propped on the door, and it was dark, her face became serious, "Why did you turn off all the lights, Xiao Zhi must turn on a bedside lamp when she sleeps at night, I'm afraid she'll be too embarrassed to say it, so I'll come here to remind you."

When Gu Yechen returned to the room again, he lightly turned on the bedside lamp, and with the dim yellow light, his stiff body suddenly relaxed, and with the help of the light, his little face with tightly closed eyes was covered with fine sweat Beads, even the hair around the ears are soaked.

Gu Yechen sighed helplessly, went to bed and lay down, with Gu's mother's words still ringing in her ears, Xiaozhi was often locked in a small dark room by her aunt when she was a child, and she locked her up for a day or two, and sometimes she would go in and punch her if things didn't go her way. Kicking, so she is particularly afraid of places without light.

When Gu's mother came down from the stairs, she saw Gu's father sitting on the sofa, not showing any intention of going to sleep, and frowned at him, "You really plan to sleep on the sofa, right?"

Father Gu snorted, "I'm just sitting here tonight, I think that brat dares to come out and try."

Gu's mother rolled her eyes indecently, stepped forward and grabbed his ear and pulled him into the bedroom, "You are stupid, do you think it's useful for you to sit here? When did you find something to do with your son who doesn't want to do it?" ?”

The next day, when Qiao Zhi woke up, it was already bright and there was no one around her. She picked up her phone and checked the time. Qiao Zhi sat up from the bed suddenly, it was seven o'clock, it was over, she was going to be late.

After hurriedly washing up, Qiao Zhi changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and ran downstairs. Father Gu and Gu Yechen were reading the morning newspaper on both sides of the sofa, and Qiao Zhi ran downstairs in a panic, tying her hair while running.

"Xiao Zhi, why are you in such a panic, what happened?" Father Gu put down the newspaper in his hand and asked concerned.

"Dad, I'm going to be late. I'm going to work first. I won't have breakfast." As she said that, Qiao Zhi ran to the entrance to put on her shoes, and Gu's mother ran out of the kitchen, "Xiao Zhi, what's the hurry, it's not too late, Let Xiaochen see you off later."

Qiao Zhi smiled slightly at Gu's mother, "No need, Mom, I'll just take the bus when I go out, soon, I'll be leaving first." Then, Qiao Zhi opened the door and hurried out, from here It takes an hour to get to the company by bus. It seems that I won't be able to get full attendance this month.

"Xiao Zhi, bring your breakfast..." Mother Gu chased her out with the breakfast, but Qiao Zhi had already run a long way and couldn't hear her.

"My child, how can my stomach take it without breakfast!" Mother Gu walked into the house helplessly.

Gu Yechen stood up, took the breakfast from Mother Gu, "I'll take her off." Then he picked up the coat and car keys on the hanger and went out.

Gu's mother and Gu's father looked at each other, and Gu's father snorted disdainfully, "This kid is quick to get started."

Qiao Zhi stood at the bus stop and waited anxiously for the bus. There was no one on the stop. The people living here were all wealthy people worth hundreds of millions. How could anyone come here to take the bus? Even taking a taxi was not easy. Kasuga It was still a little cold in the morning, and Qiao Zhi stomped her feet from time to time.

A black car stopped, and Qiao Zhi recognized that it was the car that Gu's mother often drove. With the windows down, Gu Yechen said calmly, "Get in the car, I'll see you off."

Qiao Zhi was taken aback, looked around, but didn't see the bus at all, so she opened the door and sat on it, "Excuse me."

Gu Yechen said nothing, stretched out his long arms and took the bag on the back seat and handed it to her, "Breakfast."

Qiao Zhi took it, and inside the bag were two buns and a box of millet porridge, and said thank you softly.

Gu Yechen stepped on the gas pedal, turned the steering wheel skillfully, stared straight ahead without saying a word, Qiao Zhi also sipped her food, until she reached her destination, she was speechless all the way.

Before getting out of the car, Qiao Zhi said thank you again, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked into the company.

Gu Yechen put down the window of the car, lit a cigarette, watched the thin back smoking quietly, his eyes were a little slack, seven years ago he had just joined the army for the first year, and he had three days of family leave, which coincided with his father and mother At that time, he had just inquired about Qiao Zhi's situation. When he came back from the hospital, Father Gu cried like a child.

Ever since he was a child, the image of his father in his mind has always been stalwart. The heroic man in military uniform has been his idol since he was a child. He never thought that he would cry, crying so hysterically, and beat him while crying. To himself, he said that he was wrong, he was wrong, if it wasn't for him, Qiao Zhi would not have been harmed since she was a child without father and mother, and because of his negligence, Qiao Zhi suffered for so many years.

He went to the hospital to take a look at her, she was curled up on the bed and fell asleep quietly, her little face was pale, her brows were tightly frowned even in her sleep, and there was a glaring red mark on her exposed wrist.

Even after seeing Qiao Zhi like that, he still didn't understand Gu's father's self-blame and the heart-wrenching sorrow. Now, he understood, but it was too late. Only when one has truly experienced it can one understand that A piercing pain.

Smash the smoke out of the car and drive away, that's all, he will pay for Gu's father's regret.
