Meeting is doomed, falling in love is doomed

Chapter 72

Gu Chen couldn't help smiling.

Suddenly, I saw a box in the corner again.His smile fades silently

He is very familiar with that box, and he bought it himself.

He raised his hand to open it, and a cheongsam lay quietly inside, with a hint of resentment and sadness in its plain beauty.

Rubbing the delicate fabric with fingertips, a corner of my heart suddenly collapsed.

Maybe men all over the world are the same, no matter how cold and hard they are at ordinary times, once their defenses are broken by a certain woman, they will never be able to be indifferent to her from now on, and pity will always turn upside down inadvertently.

His heart was wrapped in distress and self-blame, and it softened into a ball.

He turned to look at her and said softly, "I'm sorry."

I don't know if people become vulnerable when they are sick.Just this simple sentence made Xu Tong almost burst into tears.

She knew what he was apologizing for.

Sniffing, she muttered, "Don't be so pretty, I'll trade you for candy when I get better!"

He was amused by her coquettishness, "Is it a bit overkill to just change sugar?"

She raised her eyebrows, "You've fallen to the point where you're going to be bartered, and you still don't forget your farts! It's already pretty good to use you for toilet paper, but you still dare to think that exchanging you for candy is an insult to your own worth." !cut!"

He walked to the bed, held her hand, stared into her eyes, and suddenly asked softly: "Yaoyao, do you have something to say to me?"

Xu Tong was startled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you? Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Gu Chen stared at her, and said after a long while: "Yes—you should rest well, remember to respect the doctor's advice, and don't take medicine carelessly. I'm going to work."

Xu Tong couldn't help being slightly annoyed, "That's all you want to say?"

Even the word "I'm sorry" has already been said, but it is so stingy to give "I love you".

Gu Chen looked at her and nodded slowly.

His eyes were deep, and there seemed to be countless mysteries hidden in his eyes, but she looked and looked, but couldn't understand any of them.What is he thinking?
She was a little angry, "Okay. The month we bet on is almost here!"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, "So?"

His indifferent appearance completely made her feel awkward, "That is to say, you really have nothing to tell me? Like the bet!" She reminded him again, and said aggressively, "I want to say it now, or a month The betting period is over," she paused, and said harshly, "If we can't tell the winner, we will never see each other again!"

She finally got angry.

On the small island, the two of them had already been so close, even he was willing to kiss her there, but in the end he was stingy with saying the simplest sentence.

Gu Chen frowned.

He calculated the time in his mind.That thing is still a few days away from being ready, but it can be completed within a month.

After pondering, he said: "You have a good rest." He decided not to say it for the time being, but it's only a few days, and it will be there in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tong didn't know what was going on, and hearing him say this, she couldn't help but get angry, "Gu Chen!" This was the first time she called him by his full name, solemn and condensed, very serious: "Next time we meet, if you still have nothing to say , then let God bless us not to be united for the rest of our lives!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, even she herself was surprised that she said the words so ruthlessly.When did she become so capricious.

Gu Chen frowned tightly.In his heart, there was also some displeasure.

They obviously got along well, but she was fighting fiercely.

He has tried his best to accommodate and obey her in every possible way. Could it be that actual actions are not as important as empty words?

After all, it was the young master's temper, and he was also faintly angry.

"Okay, whatever you want." He got up and left.

When he got to the door, he still couldn't help turning his head back.

It's a pity that she had already turned her face to the other side, and she didn't even notice that he had softened and turned back.

Gu Chen's heart hardened again, he turned his head and walked away.

Outside the door, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh quietly.

At any rate, it was his first time to fall in love, and he had no experience. In the past, girls always made him happy, but now the feng shui has changed, and it has been replaced by his deliberate efforts to please her smiling face.

Thinking that the thing is about to be finished anyway, at worst, I should say something next time I send it to her.This time, let's just leave like this for the time being - he really didn't expect that each other would be so angry with each other.He had never tried to coax anyone, and even if he stayed this time, he didn't know how to build a ladder to get each other off the stage.

Another grudge filled Xu Tong's heart.

He obviously loves her, but he refuses to say it himself; it is indeed more important to be beautiful than to sound good, but who is not a woman who is insecure?In the past, he had hurt her intentionally or unintentionally again and again.She just wanted to say something to him, even if it was only once in her life-he lost the bet, he fell in love with her; if he said it for sure, she would immediately let go of all guards and wipe away the remaining grudges in her heart.

Unfortunately, both of them have the same stubborn temper.No matter how soft the heart is, the mouth is always hard.

Xu Tong sighed deeply.

Xu Tong's illness has completely recovered, but his spirit is a little gloomy.

She didn't go to work, and the long vacation that Gu Chen invited her was still many days away.

She stayed at home, sick and unhappy.

These two days, that man was so cruel that he didn't come to her.

She couldn't help complaining.She just said a harsh word, but he didn't come to see her. It's really narrower than the eye of a needle.

Xu Tong was lying on the window sill sullenly, sighing listlessly, looking troubled as if the sky was going to collapse soon.

She didn't know that her upset and melancholy appearance, in the eyes of others, happened to be the so-called love.

Tang Zhuang listened to Xu Tong for several days and sighed, almost going crazy.He didn't know what conflict had arisen between those two awkward creatures, he only knew that if this continued, he would become even more abnormal than Xu Tong.

After hearing Xu Tong's thousand and one sigh, Tang Zhuang couldn't bear to cry out: "Don't stay at home anymore! Let's make a sigh out of you! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! , follow me to the mahjong parlor to relax, otherwise I will take off my vacation and go to work, choose one of the two, in short, you are not allowed to stay at home! I really can’t stand that you have suffered from old lady’s thoughts so early at such a young age! "

Xu Tong thought about going out for a walk, so he went out with Tang Zhuang.

On the way, she teased Tang Zhuang, "Zhuangzi, you have been brought down by Yang Yang, and your words are becoming more and more wordy, and you are close to a chatterbox. Today, if you want to change to the past, you can only say one sentence at most: Get out of here and go to the mahjong parlor." ! Don't play melancholy at home!"

Tang Zhuang shoved her, "Get out, dare to talk to your brother so casually! Are you looking for a fight! By the way, girl, I heard something, it seems that recently your half-sister and that big gangster Yan Changshi fought It's hot. I have a very odd feeling hearing these two get mixed up."

Xu Tong had to think for a while before he could digest Tang Zhuang's words.

Zhang Zhentong hooked up with Yan Changshi.

The names of these two people are drawn together, let alone Tang Zhuang, even she has a very bad feeling in her heart.

"I heard that Gu Chen and Yan Changshi cooperated with Yan Changshi in the project of Jinxiu Plaza; by the way, I said that if you sighed so much because Gu Chen didn't come to see you these days, my brother told you that you don't have to be like this. Splendid Plaza The delivery date is approaching, but Yan Changshi suddenly quit, saying to the outside world that the materials in his hand have not been used, and there is nothing he can do to continue the cooperation. He asked Gu Chen to find another company. Gu Chen has been in contact with other material suppliers, but the strange thing is No matter who he finds, that person must tell him that the materials have happened to be sold out. He didn't come to you, I think he must have been dizzy with his work. Speaking of engineering and construction, Gu's business has just started, and the relationship between people has not yet fully developed. Tuokai, to put it bluntly now, he is being boycotted. At this time, he is already impatient, so stop haggling with others about trivial matters. I said, haven’t you always been very general? Why now? It has become so narrow! You know, women, only those who are sensible can be cute!"

These didactic words were uttered by Tang Zhuang, a senior ruffian, and Xu Tong was moved and could not laugh.

She was a little surprised. It turned out that such a thing happened in just a few days.

She asked Tang Zhuang: "Where did you know so much? He told you?"

Tang Zhuang shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xu Tong like an idiot, "How is it possible! If he didn't even tell you, how could he come to tell me? It was said by a smart boy I just hired. He said He knew one of Yan Changshi's capable subordinates, and he pried these things out of the other party's mouth."

Xu Tong pondered for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little dignified, "You said this new boy, is he in the mahjong parlor now? Take me to meet him later. I want to know how far things have gone and whether Gu Chen is in trouble. solve."

When Xu Tong and Tang Zhuang rushed to the mahjong hall, a group of people were surrounding the door.They seemed to be watching something exciting, and from time to time, they all let out a clatter of exclamation.

Tang Zhuang called out to the crowd: "Hey! I said you, I asked you to show me the restaurant, but you all blocked the door, what are you doing?!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and the crowd suddenly dispersed with a gap.Xu Tong looked up and found that surrounded by many people was a strange young man.

He was fiddling with a knife in his hand, flipping his hands quickly and deftly, the knife kept moving and flashing, turning into a silver shining light between his fingers, it was really beautiful.

Xu Tong couldn't help but praise: "Good technique! Good skill!"

No wonder everyone gathered here to watch the fun, this young man's knife skills are really wonderful.

When the man saw Tang Zhuang, he stopped what he was doing, walked over and shouted with a smile: "Brother Zhuang!" He turned his head to look at Xu Tong, and greeted her cleverly: "This must be the sister Tong that everyone is talking about, right? Hello sister!"

Xu Tong couldn't help laughing, "Don't call me Sister Tong anymore, maybe we two are older than the other!" After a pause, he raised his head and asked Tang Zhuang, "Is he the new brother you mentioned?"

Tang Zhuang nodded, "His name is Xiaotu."

Xu Tong said to the young man: "Xiaotu, I have something to ask you, can you come with me?"

The young man is smiling, looks good and speaks well.

Avoiding the crowd, Xu Tong asked him straight to the point: "How do you know Yan Changshi's men?"

Xiaotu replied calmly: "We were neighbors when we were young, but we moved away and we met again not long ago."

Xu Tong frowned slightly, and asked again in a deep voice: "Then why didn't you join your friend and make a fortune with Yan Changshi? Why did you choose to come to our poor place?"

When Xiaotu replied, his tone was sincere, "Yan Changshi is not a good person!"

Xu Tong nodded, "What's going on between Gu Chen and Yan Changshi?"

Xiaotu became a little hesitant, "Isn't it just because of the woman! I heard that Gu Chen's former fiancée secretly got engaged to Yan Changshi not long ago; after that, Yan Changshi made excuses to quit the project, and secretly blocked other engineering companies from allowing him to help."

Xu Tong frowned, "He deliberately made things difficult for Gu Chen?"

Xiaotu nodded in agreement, and replied: "I heard that Gu Chen...uh, Mr. Gu, seems to have gone to another place. The local area has been overshadowed by Yan Changshi. Although Mr. Gu's family is rich and powerful, but as the saying goes, people don't like you." Officials fight, officials don't fight with gangsters; so when I can bear it, I believe that President Gu will definitely not choose to tear his face with Yan Changshi." After a pause, he said with a bit of hesitation: "I heard that Sister Tong and Mr. Gu is very friendly, presumably Mr. Gu's former fiancée will not be too happy, and Yan Changshi is a ruthless person, sister Tong, you should be more careful!"

After hearing what he said, Xu Tong couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"You have a good conversation and knowledge, why come here to see restaurants? I believe you must have a better and brighter choice."

Xiaotu smiled shyly, "No way, I almost can't get enough to eat, but fortunately Brother Zhuang is willing to take me in!"

Xu Tong pondered and nodded.Looking down at the knife in his hand, he casually praised: "This knife is quite beautiful."
