Waiting for a long time, Captain

Chapter 11 How to Be So Gentle

"Gu Zeng, I'll take you home after get off work." The director stood outside the door, expressing his sincerity beyond being polite again.

It's the same situation every time, it's really embarrassing, she almost can't find a reason to refuse.The colleague grinned at her from outside the glass window and beckoned her to cheer up. With her face pressed against the soundproof glass and her nostrils squeezed like a pig's head, she couldn't help laughing.Muster up the courage to say: "Director, don't bother you, I may leave when the contract expires."

"Last time you said you were going to ask for leave for the New Year celebration, and now you are saying you are going to leave. Gu Zeng, are you here to embarrass yourself?" The young director's expression was also ugly, probably because he was rejected so many times in front of his colleagues , he also felt embarrassed.After saying such words, she was stunned for a moment, and he was also silent.Later, I wanted to say something, but after all, I turned around and left without saying anything.Gu Zeng let out a sigh of relief and walked into the recording studio.

By the time the work was over, it was already pouring rain outside.The colleague leaned on the window and looked at her, turning to look at her wanting to cry but without tears: "There are more than ten women in this office, only you and I are single, so pitiful, we always have to face the long loneliness alone rainy night..."

Gu Zeng tidied up the things on the table and responded with a chuckle: "You can quickly find a single man in this office to spend the rainy night with you."

"Hmph, do you mean the director?" She turned her head and leaned against the window again, "His heart has already been taken away by you, the voice of F010."

Gu Zeng didn't know how to answer. Looking outside the recording studio, the lights in the director's office seemed to have dimmed.Only then did she go out with confidence, the locker was turned into a mess, probably the few remaining umbrellas had been robbed.

She couldn't help complaining: "Why do you want to grab an umbrella with me if you are not single? Is there any humanity!"

"Huh?" A colleague suddenly called her, "Gu Zeng, come and see, the world's top luxury car suddenly stopped under our building."

Gu Zeng was stunned, thinking of something.She closed the cabinet door silently, ran to the window to take a look, the headlights were turned on, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside.Soon the phone vibrated, and she tried to pretend to be calm and walked aside to connect.

"Have you got off work?"

"Ah."

"I'm downstairs."

Gu Zeng took a breath and said softly, "I just saw it."

The next moment, a roar rang in my ears, and this female colleague who was probably the only single woman on this rainy night rushed over and shook Gu Zeng's shoulder violently.

"I heard the voice, and it sounded like a handsome guy, and a handsome guy who drives the world's top luxury car! Gu Zeng, why is your life so good? No wonder you dismissed the director's courteousness over and over again! The point is, you still keep it from me, It turns out that I am the only single dog here, I am so pitiful..."

Gu Zeng covered his phone with one hand, and fled in fright, "I, I'll come down right away."

Obviously heard some words, he seemed to be smiling and said: "Okay, go slowly, I will wait for you."

It was windy and rainy outside. As soon as Gu Zeng walked to the door, he was turned away by the oncoming air-conditioning, subconsciously took two steps back, and when she turned away again, she saw him standing outside holding an umbrella .

She quickly ran under the umbrella, a little out of breath: "Why don't you wait in the car?"

"I thought you had been used to the service of a gentleman after so many years in France." He pursed his lips and chuckled, and naturally put his arms around her shoulders, and walked into the car.

The place is different, the time is different, but the feeling is exactly the same.The gentleman who came out of an ancient temple in the Far East smoked elegantly, and when he paid for her, he said it was Chinese etiquette.She wanted to laugh: "Actually, when we first met in Atlanta, I wanted to ask if you were him."

"Why did you hesitate then?"

"Because I always feel that it is difficult to convince people to remember a person for three years with a voice, or a feeling, or a word, so I dare not ask."

Opening the car door, she quickly sat in, and heard him say the moment he closed the door, smiling like a villain, "I'm afraid I might mistakenly think that this is your trick to strike up a conversation?"

Moisture all over his body rushed into the car, and he sat in it for a long time without starting it, just half-turned his body and looked at her quietly.His eyebrows and eyes were quiet and silent, but she felt that he was tempting her, "You, what are you looking at?"

He leaned over, looked at her from a very close distance, and said sincerely: "No, I feel very hungry."

It's really... How can a word be punned like this?

Gu Zeng also felt a little hungry, the two hit it off, drove to eat supper, wandered around for a long time, and came to a Sichuan restaurant.

She looked at the menu tangled for a long time. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the person on the opposite side. She was looking at the duty schedule that had just been sent on her mobile phone. Her long eyelashes brushed under her eyelids, so long, and her covered eyes were so dark...

He suddenly realized something, looked up and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong?"

"Well, I don't want to eat Sichuan food anymore. Shall we go eat vegetarian hot pot? Oh, no, let's eat bone pot, it's nutritious." She simply put it down, she hesitated, "How about we change to another one?"

"Afraid I can't eat spicy food?" He took the menu, drew a few strokes on it with a pen, and continued, "This Sichuan cuisine is very authentic, it should be your favorite taste."

"How would you know?"

"Xu Shen said in the chat room last time that you like spicy food very much." And it's not just that, when he talked about it at the time, Xu Shen wanted to kill her. No acne, the skin is as good as the hot tofu just out of the pan, tender and smooth.He still remembered, looked at her cheek with a smile, and said slowly: "It's really good."

Gu Zeng realized something, cupped his face shyly, and the roots of his ears started to feel hot again.He added slowly: "If you don't like it, I'll make it for you next time."

"can you cook?"

"Well, it will happen when I was in the army." He broke the disposable chopsticks in half and handed them to her, "There are two Russians in the same dormitory, they like spicy food very much, and they can also eat spicy food. I have eaten authentic Sichuan cuisine in China, and it is still unforgettable. He also said that in order to test that I am a pure Chinese man, let me cook Sichuan cuisine for them to eat, and I will make it after trying a few times.”

She was happy to hear that: "Well, what else?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"You are in the army."

Cen scalded the cup with boiling water today, and said slowly: "When I first joined the army, everyone had a very bad temper. You know, the habits of different countries are different. The French are romantic, and they always have to light small candles in the house. Almost burned the bed. Sudanese are very economical, they have to time every time they take a shower, and they habitually turn off the hot water tap, so I almost always take cold showers.”

"Winter too?"

"Well, you should know that Sudan is very short of resources, and it is almost impossible to take a bath several times a year in extremely poor places. Wherever my comrade-in-arms goes, he is habitually saving, especially water resources. There were a lot of fights in the past, basically every day." He laughed, "I had no choice but to let him go. But that's okay, I was in good health during those years in the army and rarely got sick."

The waiter brought the dishes, and he put some in her bowl, and then said: "One time, because of the shower, the comrades in Russia and Sudan had a quarrel, and the whole army knew about it without saying anything. It was so big that it almost turned into a diplomatic event."

She swallowed a mouthful of beef in surprise, and waited for the next article, only to find that the playful smile in his eyes was intentional.It was only after a long, long time that he slowly realized that when he casually mentioned this Sudanese comrade-in-arms, he must have felt sad in his heart.

"Later, the Sultan washed our entire dormitory's clothes for a year."

"Puchi..." She couldn't help laughing, but the chili stuck in her throat, and she started coughing with a smile, and couldn't stop coughing.His face flushed red.Cen probably didn't expect his joke to have such consequences today, so he hurriedly asked the waiter for ice water, and she downed half a bottle in one go, which was much better.

He was a little guilty, but also looked at her amusedly: "I will never talk to you about this at meal time in the future."

"No," she cleared her throat, feeling much better, "I like to hear it very much, you continue to talk."

He pretended to sigh: "After two years, everyone can tolerate each other, and the training is very tense. Every time I come back, I fall asleep, and there are fewer and fewer conflicts. Perhaps it is also because of the tacit understanding between each other. Care about each other's minor problems. It's rare to get together on vacation, and I will cook for them, and it will become a habit after a long time."

"Is it Chinese food?"

"Yes, I have tried many cuisines, but Sichuan cuisine is the most, because I also like spicy food."

The bright light made him handsome and gentle, Gu Zeng touched his cheek, and the heat that had just gone down burned up again. "You're comforting me, I know, I'm very touched." She looked at him with her chin resting on her cheek, "You have a very good relationship with your comrades."

He didn't speak, and he didn't know where his eyes were. In short, he didn't look at her, but he still gave an affirmative answer. "Yes, very good, they are brothers who were born and died together."

Gu Zeng adjusted his posture and ate a mouthful of the very spicy fish. Tears were about to fall from the spiciness. He looked at him with wide and hazy eyes, and suddenly asked, "Can you tell me about her?" in a very low voice. , She already regretted it when she asked, and she didn't even dare to look at him.

After a brief silence, he pondered for a while before saying: "I was destined to meet you three years ago, whether there was her or not."

On the eve of leaving Atlanta, he was still performing border maintenance operations. It was not dangerous to say, but there was no room for distraction.The three-month tug-of-war almost exhausted all his patience, and he was completely isolated from the outside world.On the day he returned to the dormitory after completing the task, the first thing he thought of when he turned on the phone was Qu Yanran, wanting to report her safety.But when the phone was turned on, there were phone calls and text messages from Lu Zhao all over the place, conveying the news of her remarriage.After waiting for so many years, I always thought that I could wait for a fair start.But it was only later that he realized that he really hadn't learned the word "feeling", and then he returned to China and met her.

From a psychological point of view, grief is not considered an intractable disease, and usually only needs a trigger point to recover, but many people will continue to be in a mess if they don't get this point.When Qu Yanran got married for the first time, she really couldn't figure it out, competed with herself, and then fell ill.For a long time after that, he didn't live like a human being.At least it's not like it is now, at least you can't start with her.

Gu Zeng recalled this night after a long time, it was raining outside, the Sichuan vegetable pot inside the house was full of white mist, and there were two people sitting opposite each other, one was her and the other was him.When talking about the past, which was almost an unspeakable story, they were very indifferent to each other.It seems that it has really passed.

Later, I don't know if it was because of being so hot that her eyes were really blurred...

It was very late when I went back, and the rain outside hadn't stopped.Gu Zeng leaned on the seat, put on his coat, and still couldn't help sneezing.

"Don't catch a cold." He opened the door after saying this, and stood in the rain holding an umbrella, "Do you want me to take you up?"

Sitting still, she clearly felt a heat rushing out of her lower abdomen, and after a while, dense pain came up again.It was so embarrassing.She thought for a long time, moved her body desperately, and looked down: "No need." After speaking, she ran upstairs quickly, not daring to take a look at where she was sitting, to see if there was anything left.

The lights in the old compound building were very dim, and the lights above her head flickered and flickered, dazzled her.The pain in her stomach was severe. She couldn't see her feet clearly for a while, and she didn't know what was placed on the stairs. Anyway, her feet slipped, and she suddenly fell to the ground.The clothes on her shoulders fell to the ground, she quickly picked them up and held them nervously in her hands.The pain surged up one after another, and she was about to die of anger from herself. Why did she torture her to death every time relatives came?

Just as he was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from the dark stairwell, and Gu Zeng stepped back in fright, pressing his back against the wall.It's so late at night, could it be a thief?When I went back to the community a few days ago, I heard that someone lost something.what to do?Thinking in a panic, she grabbed her clothes and got up. After a rough look, there was a black and red mark on the place where she just fell, and it must be her.It was too embarrassing, but she didn't care to clean it up. Enduring the pain, she hurried up.I usually don't think living on the fifth floor is considered a high-rise, but now that I think there are still two floors to go, I feel that there is no end in sight.

Just after running for two steps, a burst of soreness and pain rushed across her lower abdomen. Her legs were so painful that her legs were limp, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, she ran faster, but suddenly her eyes went dark, she didn't step on it, and fell down on the stairs again.

There was a shadow looming from behind her, and she faltered and said, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I'll give you all the money I have on me."

There was a burst of low laughter under the dim light.Gu Zeng was startled, and looking back, he had already bent down and hugged her, comforting her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

"...It scared me to death." Suddenly remembering something, she blushed to the point of bleeding: "I'm sorry for messing up your car."

"This kind of thing doesn't need an apology."

Gu Zeng lived alone in Beijing. His home was not very big, but it was well organized.Fortunately, Qingya was here two days ago, helping to clean up her colorful things that would fly everywhere. The colors and styles are so unrestrained, the girls blush when they see it.She glanced at the door when she entered, but luckily they were all in the cabinet.

There is a gray linen sofa in the living room, and there is a row of bookshelves behind it, full of books.Go inside, is the bathroom.

Cen put her down today and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything at home? Do you need me to help you buy it?"

Gu Zeng shook his head and asked in a low voice: "No need, there are bathrooms. Can I trouble you to boil a pot of hot water for me?" Without waiting for his answer, he ran in and closed the door, and stood behind it Panting violently.

After tidying up for a long time, he came out slowly. He had already brewed a large cup of black tea and handed it to her, "Are you hungry?" He was only wearing a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up, and the air conditioner was not turned on in the room. He was cold, so he jumped to get the remote control, but he stopped him halfway, and said, "I'll come, you go and lie down on the sofa."

Looking at him like this, how could he be so handsome... Gu Zeng let out an ooh, and lay down on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. After a while, he came out of the kitchen with noodles.

"Maybe I shouldn't eat Sichuan food tonight." He walked to the sofa, took out a hot water bottle from nowhere, lifted a corner of the blanket, put the hot water bottle on her lower abdomen, and chuckled softly, "I'll know later."

Gu Zeng lowered his head and tried to divert his attention, but because of his thoughtful actions, the lower abdomen really felt a lot more comfortable.

Most of the meals at night were telling stories, and neither of them ate a lot.She took a bite of the noodles slowly, caught a glimpse of his quietly waiting posture from the corner of her eye, and asked after thinking about it, "Would you like to eat some together?"

"Okay." He moved closer, picked up noodles with chopsticks for her to eat, and said, "I used to be influenced by Lu Zhao, and I was a bit clean."

"Huh?" She suddenly realized that it was not very wise to invite him to eat noodles together.

"He doesn't like people touching his things, and neither do I." He changed his posture and sat on the sofa, very close to her.Just saying that, ate a mouthful of noodles, and laughed, "Now I feel that that thing is also dispensable."

She swears, her heart beats so fast it feels like it's going to explode.

There was a small orange light in the living room, the light was very dim and soft, she saw the time on the wall clock, it was already late at night.On such a quiet night, he fed her noodles at her home, his movements were slow and his eyes were gentle.Only the ticking rain outside the window kept reminding her that a man, a widow, and a woman lived together in the same room.

"I..." The voice was a little hoarse, she didn't dare to meet him, her eyes kept scanning other places, "It seems to be very late now."

His eyes were sparkling, full of smiles.Putting down the bowl, propping up half of his body and leaning on the sofa: "Gu Zeng, does your stomach still hurt?"

"Huh?" She turned her head, her eyes met, the moonlight was soft, and she subconsciously said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

At some point, his hands reached into the blanket, replaced the hot water bottle and covered her lower abdomen, massaging slowly, his palms were very hot.Suddenly he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.

The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier, blowing against the window with cold wind, wheezing.She couldn't breathe anymore, she struggled to move a bit, and he also adjusted his posture, with most of his body leaning towards her, holding her lips even closer.

The lower abdomen doesn't seem to hurt at all.She slowly reached out and hugged his waist, unable to be distracted anymore, she could only respond to him.The taste of noodles is in the mouth, the tomatoes are sweet, and there is a fragrance of flour.Thinking of the noodles that Qingya brought back from Singapore, the taste is not bad, so I will ask her to bring two packs another day.

With a low voice in his ears, he seemed to be laughing, and asked again: "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Taking a breath, her eyes stopped on his chin, and there were some green stubble.But just looking at it like this, one can be sure that it should be a beauty.The big boss treats him with the etiquette of a beauty.

He didn't speak, she looked over naturally, and just like that bumped into his watery eyes, and was seen through unsuspectingly.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt." He stood up and repeated what he said just now. Gu Zeng suddenly understood what he was doing—was he using kisses to divert her attention?

sky……

She blushed and lowered her head: "Beauties are puss and blood, you should stay away."

"Unfortunately, before today, I was not baptized by this wise saying." He grabbed a pillow and placed it under her neck, relieving her entire spine that was about to break in time.

The body got closer again, and the sound of rain suddenly became louder. He pursed his lips and smiled: "It may take a long time to comprehend this truth." His warm lips pressed down again.

Gu Zeng closed his eyes, thinking that he was the person who came out of the fighter force with him, did he know that he would be so tender?

Well, it's a bit disrespectful.
