Lin Shilang Gu

"Um... so are you going to hang up now?"

Lin Yuewei: "..."

In the same situation, in a different place, Gu Yanqiu's reaction was diametrically opposite to hers. Lin Yuewei didn't want to admit that she was more impatient than Gu Yanqiu, but she was really impetuous in this regard.

She didn't speak.

Gu Yanqiu was waiting and betting on whether she would choose to hang up decisively, or gently lift it and continue chatting with her casually.

Gu Yanqiu counted the beads on his wrist to ten, and Lin Yuewei spoke up.

"No, I just have something to tell you."

Lin Yuewei was someone who couldn't be subservient to others, especially Gu Yanqiu. Even verbally, as long as he lost a little, Lin Yuewei felt unbearable. Without being able to use science to explain her psychology, Lin Yuewei could only choose an excuse that was more acceptable to him: she and Gu Yanqiu had a misunderstanding.

Gu Yanqiu replied indifferently, "Miss Lin, please speak."

How could Lin Yuewei really say anything, he turned his head and said, "I'm going to S City today."

Gu Yanqiu knew this. According to the competition system, Lin Yuewei and other debut contestants had to return to the production headquarters of the program team in a week to accept the arrangement for their whereabouts. It was exactly one week from her vacation to today.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Yanqiu deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Let's see who you want to sign a contract with." Lin Yuewei couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed, and inadvertently put on a tone of blame, saying, "Didn't you watch the show? Don't you know how the final result of this show was presented? ?"

"…"

"I'm sorry." Lin Yuewei apologized quickly, and calmly made an excuse for himself, "I just found out that one of my important things was left at home. Please excuse me."

Gu Yanqiu swallowed the words he was about to say, and said, "It's okay."

She pursed her lips and said, "I've only watched a few episodes of the entire TV show, so I don't understand some things, so please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Yuewei said.

The two were relatively silent across the phone, but the atmosphere at this time was different from every previous time. The two of them felt a strange feeling that was vaguely surrounding the two of them.

Lin Yuewei found that the corners of his lips were raised inexplicably, and he couldn't press his fingers down.

She coughed softly.

Gu Yanqiu swallowed her throat and asked in her clear and pleasant voice, "I don't know what Miss Lin missed at home?"

"It's nothing, it's the rabbit doll that I had been hanging on my backpack during the competition. When I got home, it was a little dusty, so I washed it and dried it, and then I forgot to bring it." Lin Yuewei added. Added a sentence, "That was given by my fans."

Lin Yuewei's rabbit doll was indeed left at home, but it was not what she and Gu Yanqiu remembered when they were talking before, but an excuse she made on the spot.

Gu Yanqiu gave a meaningful "Oh".

Lin Yuewei said: "Actually, it's not very important. It's the first one given by fans, and I remember it."

Gu Yanqiu paused and said, "Then I'll send it to you next time."

Lin Yuewei was taken aback: "What?"

Gu Yanqiu said, "I'll send it to you. I'm going to S City on a business trip in two days, and it happened to be on the way."

Lin Yuewei hurriedly said: "No need, no need, Miss Gu is too polite." She even looked around by conditioned reflex, for fear that Gu Yanqiu would appear by her side. An idea popped up again: if Gu Yanqiu can really appear, it would be great...

Gu Yanqiu didn't know her mental activity. She was already figuring out how to make time for her business trip, and she replied, "You're welcome."

Lin Yuewei didn't mean that, but after being picked up by Gu Yanqiu, it seemed like he had agreed.

She licked her upper lip, sat upright, curled her fingers around the long hair on her chest, and said, "Miss Gu, I have something I want to ask you to take care of for me."

"what's up?"

Lin Yuewei hesitated.

"Miss Lin, but it doesn't matter."

"It's like this. My mother is in a bad mood recently. When I asked her, she didn't say anything. She only said that the weather was hot and she was inactive. I don't know if it was true or not. I think she likes you very much. I may take care of it when I am outside. If you don't go to her, if she asks you to come to my house to play, please enlighten her more."

"it is good."

Lin Yuewei felt that these words were meant to be an invitation, and he added, "If you are busy with work, I just said it casually, and I also asked Jiang Congbi."

"Yeah." Gu Yanqiu's answer was very simple, sounding absent-minded.

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

"Miss Lin, wait a moment, I will reply with important news."

"Okay, go back."

Then Lin Yuewei heard the sound of fast tapping on the keyboard across the receiver. The crackling was very clear. Lin Yuewei should have hung up the phone at this time. I have to talk to Gu Yanqiu.

But she just sat there, listening to the sound of the keyboard, without feeling bored at all.

When the voice stopped, Lin Yuewei asked without words, "Are you busy with work?"

"It's alright." Gu Yanqiu's answer was always short, just listening to the voice, he only felt that this person was rejecting everyone, Lin Yue exhaled slightly, intending to say goodbye to her, Gu Yanqiu added after knowing, "Actually, it's not very busy, But I have nothing to do at home except work, so I might as well just work, anyway, to make money for my own company.”

Lin Yuewei asked, "Then what other leisure and entertainment activities do you usually have?"

Gu Yanqiu pondered for a moment, then said, "Riding on a horse to shoot arrows and play guns? Does it count?"

"Forget it." Lin Yuewei smiled and said, "You don't come from the ancients, right? Why do you like such ancient times?"

"Equestrian is now a professional sport. I have participated in many competitions abroad. Archery is because I enjoy the pleasure of drawing a bow and aiming. The gun is very modern, and it is a hot weapon that has only matured in modern times." Gu Yanqiu gave a serious She explained, saying, "How old is it?"

It was the first time that Lin Yuewei heard her say such a long sentence, and couldn't help but be surprised. It turns out that this person can also chat, "I'm just joking, don't be angry."

"I'm also joking, I'm not angry." Gu Yanqiu's brows and eyes were soft, and it was rare to be playful.

"I can only guarantee that I won't fall off the horse in equestrianism. I can't do it if I have to run fast, not to mention the technique. Is archery difficult to learn? Is it not allowed to play with guns in China?"

"It's not difficult. There are air guns in China, and there are special clubs and clubs."

"I'm quite interested."

"If I'm free, I..." Gu Yanqiu's eyes fell on the message window in front of him, he frowned, and he sent a reply to the partner. I replied back and forth in one sentence.

Lin Yuewei hadn't waited for her next sentence, wanted to urge but was embarrassed, so she could only wait quietly.

"Did you just say something?" Gu Yanqiu after replying to the news had forgotten what she was going to say before.

"I didn't say anything." Lin Yuewei grumbled.

Gu Yanqiu was puzzled by her sudden anger.

Lin Yuewei: "My mother called me and hung up first."

Gu Yanqiu: "Okay."

"See you next time." Lin Yuewei couldn't wait to hang up.

What was she just hoping for? Lin Yuewei covered his face with both hands and fell back into the seat.

Gu Yanqiu put the phone aside strangely but contentedly. In any case, she said a lot to Lin Yuewei today, and the other party was not hostile to her, which was a great improvement.

Gu Yanqiu was not in a hurry about this at all, she was always calm.

After wearing the earphones for a long time, his ears felt uncomfortable, so Gu Yanqiu took off the earphones and put them together with the phone. As soon as she gets caught up in her focused work, she forgets the time, and by the time she remembers it's two o'clock in the afternoon to take a break for dinner.

Gu Yanqiu looked at the time and decided to wait another two hours. At four o'clock, lunch and dinner were eaten together. No matter how regular people live, sometimes they want to be a little lazy. once is once.

Gu Yanqiu wandered around the house, opened the refrigerator here, opened the drawer there, turned out a bag of gummies and a bag of biscuits, sat in front of the sofa, and used the TV to show Lin Yuewei's edited video on the same screen. .

After watching the beauties on TV for a long time, Gu Yanqiu couldn't help but imagined Lin Yuewei in real life, and suddenly returned to his senses and hurriedly dialed the Buddha beads.

…Amitabha.

Gu Yanqiu had a good plan, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. She didn't have dinner at home, and was called by her father Gu Huai to Gu's house.

Gu Yanqiu looked at the chopped green onion on the cutting board, picked up the clear water in the pot and put it in the noodle bowl on the side, covered it as it was, washed his hands, and drove out the door.

"Dad." Gu Yanqiu entered the door. He Songjun and Gu Feiquan's mother and son were not in the living room. Gu Yanqiu stood at the entrance, bent over to change his shoes and asked, "Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

Gu Huai said, "Old Joute sent his farmed crayfish over. I asked my aunt to make crayfish at night. Don't you like it, so I called you here."

Lao Jiao was the former driver of the Gu family. Gu Yanqiu called him Uncle Jiao. Lao Jiao followed Gu Huai for many years. Ever since Gu Yanqiu had an impression, the family driver has always been him. Lao Jiao had an accident when Gu Yanqiu was in the second year of junior high school. One of his legs was disabled and he could not continue to drive for Gu Huai. Later, Gu Huai gave him a sum of money. Lao Jiao resigned and went home to contract crayfish farming. He did a good job. There is a lot of wind and fire, and during the harvest season, a big and plump one will be picked and delivered, and it will not fall every year.

Now is the peak season for crayfish to go on the market again. Gu Yanqiu has been abroad for a few years, and Gu Huai will really forget about it.

Gu Yanqiu said, "I haven't seen Uncle Jiao for a long time."

Gu Huai said: "He is busy now, and he may come back to Yanning if he is free in a while."

Gu Yanqiu: "If you want to invite Uncle Jiao to dinner, remember to call me."

Gu Huai said: "Okay, he misses you very much too. He called me yesterday and mentioned you."

Gu Yanqiu smiled: "Is Uncle Jiao's daughter already in college? Where did she get into?"

"A 985 school in their provincial capital ranks very high in the country."

"That's not bad."

"Lao Jiao plans to send her to study abroad for two years after she graduates from college."

"How old is she now?"

"Nineteen, I just finished my sophomore year this year."

The father and daughter chatted casually. Although the topic was not very close, the relationship had improved invisibly, but Gu Yanqiu had another doubt. Her father even remembered how old the former driver's daughter was and where she studied. , she definitely won't be a merciless person, which coincides with the Gu Huai in her impression. Over the past six months, Gu Huai seems to have become a completely different person, but this is obviously not the case. He will still remember his old friend, and occasionally show her the tenderness that belongs to his father.

Uncle Jiao... By the way, Gu Yanqiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Uncle Jiao has been with her father for so long and is the driver of the Gu family. Will he know about her mother? With this thought, Gu Yanqiu couldn't hold back, and immediately wanted to find Uncle Jiao, but with his fingers pinched on the palm of his hand, he managed to keep his expression as calm as usual.

"He said last time..." But Gu Yanqiu's expression did not escape Gu Huai's eyes, and Gu Huai asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Gu Yanqiu smiled slightly, "Dad, do you have Uncle Jiao's phone number?"

Gu Huai's expression changed subtly in an instant, "What do you want his phone number for?"

Gu Yanqiu replied calmly: "Yuewei also likes to eat crayfish. I plan to order a batch from Uncle Jiao and send it to my house, as well as the father-in-law of the Lin family. If you like it, I will also send some over."

She said apologetically in her heart: I'm sorry, Miss Lin, to borrow your name.

Gu Huai nodded and said, "So that's how it should be. You bring me the phone."

Gu Huai's mobile phone was a little closer to Gu Yanqiu. She could come over as soon as she reached out her hand. Gu Huai took it from her mobile phone, found Lao Jiao's number from the address book, and handed it to Gu Yanqiu, "This is it, you can save it."

Gu Yanqiu saved the numbers according to the numbers above, and his heart was full of confusion, why is her father so cheerful? Didn't expect that she would ask Uncle Jiao on this level? Or does Uncle Jiao actually know nothing? Or is he fearless?

The latter two possibilities are not what she wants to see.

Gu Yanqiu returned the phone, Gu Huai threw it aside again without hesitation, and said, "How are you getting along with the two parents of the Lin family? Are they embarrassing you?"

"No. Her father sees a little less because of work, and her mother sees a lot. She is a very good person. I went to Lin's house for dinner last week." Dad asked about the life experience after marriage. If you put it on ordinary people, it will probably be shy and happy.

She quietly lowered her eyes, if only her mother was still alive, and she could not see her starting a family at the end of her life.

Gu Huai said, "I know, you stayed at Lin's house for one night."

Gu Yanqiu: "!!"

Gu Huai couldn't help laughing, and said, "I saw it in my mother's circle of friends, saying that the daughter of the Lin family found you a toothbrush, and my mother also asked what electric toothbrush you should buy."

Gu Yanqiu only had Mother Lin's phone number and no WeChat account, so she didn't know what she was doing, and looked at her dad dumbfoundedly.

The first thought that flashed in her mind turned out to be Lin Yuewei's thoughts when she saw this circle of friends, whether she would explode on the spot and argue with her mother, which was in line with her character.

Gu Huai said with a gratified smile: "I was worried at first. You married the daughter of the Lin family for some other reason. Now it seems that you are happy." Gu Huai's eyes flashed faintly, you If your mother had a spirit in heaven, she would also be happy for you.

Gu Yanqiu made the wrong look, and Gu Huai returned to his usual expression. He stood up and walked in front: "Come to the study with me, I have something to explain to you."

***

Gu Feiquan was a very busy man, working seven days a week, He Songjun couldn't stand it any longer, so he took him out and asked him to go shopping with him. Gu Feiquan doesn't like to go shopping, but he is a dutiful son, and he has already opened his mouth, so naturally he will not come out. Like most men, he carried bags and bags behind him, and paid by card. He Songjun asked him which one looked good. He Songjun called him a prodigal, and Gu Feiquan rolled his eyes.

The mother and son went out from noon to stroll to the west of the sun. Gu Feiquan drove the car in through the front door, and saw that there was another car in the parking space at home, a white Maserati parked quietly on the edge.

Gu Feiquan narrowed his eyes, and before he could express any opinion, his mother He Songjun changed his face first: "Why did this little **** come to the house again?"

Gu Feiquan frowned. Although he didn't like Gu Yanqiu, it didn't mean that he could accept such a title. He Songjun had been neglected all these years, and he took his anger on Gu Yanqiu's mother and daughter. The next Gu Yanqiu.

Gu Feiquan: "Pay attention to your words, and be careful not to be heard by Gu Huai."

He Songjun was afraid of Gu Huai, and when he heard this, he immediately pursed his lips, as if Gu Huai could suddenly jump out of a building dozens of meters away. Seeing her like this, Gu Feiquan felt pitiful and ridiculous, and at the same time tried his best to suppress a trace of disgust in his heart.

Even if this person is his biological mother.

Gu Feiquan got out of the car and carried the back seat and all the bags in his hands, "Mom, close the door."

He Songjun had already stood a few steps away. The earrings, necklaces, clothes, and bags were all famous brands. She looked like a rich wife. She arrogantly waved her hand and said, "I'm not going, can't you close it yourself?"

Gu Feiquan glanced at her, and slammed the door with his elbow. He couldn't grasp the strength. With a loud bang, He Songjun scolded him again: "What should I do if the door is broken? How much disaster do you have? Do you think you Is that Gu Yanqiu's...? Look at her car, and then look at your car, it's so poor."

Gu Feiquan endured his anger all the way, and suddenly exploded: "What's wrong with me being so poor, I bought it with my own money! Others have a good father and a good mother, but I don't!"

He Songjun pointed at him: "You!"

Gu Feiquan: "I don't compare myself with others, because I know how much I weigh, you know? Don't tell me, I've met Gu Yanqiu's mother before, you're far worse than others, and you can't even wear a dragon robe. Like the prince, can you not be so vain!"

"I'm vain?" He Songjun was so choked that he couldn't speak, he beat his chest and said, "Who am I all for—"

"For yourself."

Gu Feiquan dropped this sentence coldly and strode towards the door.

"You stop!"

Gu Feiquan didn't stop for a second.

He Songjun glanced left and right around the servants who were poking their heads here, "What are you looking at, don't go to work!" After that, he stomped his feet and chased after him, "Gu Feiquan, are you going to rebel?"

When approaching the door, He Songjun silenced, and continued to perform the "mother and son filial piety" scene with Gu Feiquan. Gu Feiquan was so angry that he didn't bother to cooperate with her in the scene, and strode upstairs.

Gu Huai saw it and asked, "What happened to him?"

He Songjun said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not happy to go shopping with me."

Gu Huai paused, as if he was enduring something, and said, "If he doesn't like it next time, you can let me accompany you, as long as I'm free."

He Songjun was stunned.

Gu Yanqiu on the side was also stunned, looking at Gu Huai in disbelief. She clenched her fists by her side and left the living room.

After a long while, He Songjun said cautiously, "Is what you said true?"

Gu Huai replied and asked her: "When is what I said not true?"

"What about thirty years ago? What did you promise me?" He Songjun had tears in his eyes.

"Everything is my fault." Gu Huai wiped her tears with a tissue, looked at her and said, "But the children are innocent. I don't want Feiquan to become a tool in your hands. He is a good boy."

Gu Huai said, "I will compensate you."

He Songjun allowed the man's fingertips to wipe the corners of her eyes, and thought sadly, "It's too late, what do you owe me for so many years?"

***

Gu Yanqiu went up to the terrace on the third floor and met Gu Feiquan's gaze.

The two are staggered at the same time, each occupying a corner, and the well water does not make the river water.

Two cigarette butts fell to Gu Feiquan's feet, he was still smoking, his eyes were far away, his eyes were deep. Gu Yanqiu sat on a small ponytail brought over from the corner, fascinated.

Gu Feiquan stomped out a cigarette and turned his head to look at the young woman who was so quiet that she had no sense of existence. A strange feeling rose in her heart: This person is his half-sister.

When Gu Feiquan didn't know his background, he fantasized about having a younger sister, with white face and soft hair, who would hug his legs and call her brother, hug her, leave her, buy her, and he was willing to give everything all to her.

When he was a little older and sensible, his mother told him that you originally had a father, but there was a vicious woman who stole your father and gave birth to a daughter with him. He Songjun specially took him to the gate of the aristocratic school to see the students wearing British style school uniforms - they don't know how much better looking than the wholesale school uniforms of ordinary schools. Gu Yanqiu himself is also beautiful, and can be seen at a glance in the crowd. At that time, Gu Yanqiu had begun to look aloof, surrounded by a group of young people with the same background as her.

He Songjun forced him to stare at each other, and said in his ear over and over again: "Did you see, this person is the daughter of that bad woman, look at the school behind her, look at her clothes, her friends, These should have been yours."

A luxury car was parked at the gate of the school, and a tall and handsome young man got out of the car. Gu Yanqiu from junior high school looked at him with a smile on his face. The man fed her candy and took her into the car with a doting face.

"That's your father. His name is Gu Huai. This is yours too. It belongs to you alone."

"They stole everything that belonged to you! You have to remember!"

After so many years, Gu Feiquan still remembers what He Songjun looked like at the time. Her eyeballs were bulging, her facial features were almost distorted, and it was very terrifying.

"I don't want such a father! I don't have a father!" Gu Feiquan shouted, throwing off He Songjun's imprisonment, turned his head and ran away.

He Songjun chased after him, reluctantly.

In middle school, Gu Feiquan had a huge imbalance in He Songjun's day-to-day brainwashing. He even secretly followed Gu Yanqiu and Gu's mother, trying to find an opportunity to attack them, but he never made up his mind.

As he grew older, Gu Feiquan went to college and had his own ideals and career. He gradually took this matter lightly. Only He Songjun, who still persisted stubbornly for so many years, would talk to him when he was free. And just after Mrs. Xiangu died, she was willing to marry her into the Gu family as she wished.

Even Gu Feiquan thought this was incredible.

If you ask Gu Feiquan whether he hates Gu Yanqiu or not, the brainwashing that He Songjun has given him over the years has been subtle, and it is impossible to remove it easily, but if you really want to hate him to such an extent, you won't.

In middle school and university, Gu Feiquan has met Gu's mother several times from a distance. She is the most beautiful person he has ever met, and she will never do anything to rob a husband. He Songjun's words are true and false, Gu Feiquan has already Can't tell. Even so, the grudges of their previous generation had nothing to do with Gu Yanqiu.

Gu Feiquan remembered his wish when he was young, and couldn't help but secretly look at Gu Yanqiu's appearance. He was like Gu Huai, and Gu Yanqiu was more like her mother, but Gu Feiquan found that their eyebrows and lips were somewhat similar.

Gu Feiquan felt a bit of joy in his heart, and was quickly suppressed by the contradiction.

"Hey."

Gu Yanqiu's ears moved, and he looked left and right, only to realize that Gu Feiquan was calling her. Her answer was more concise than the other party's, but she raised her eyebrows slightly to express her doubts.

"What year did your father and your mother get married?"

"…"

Gu Yanqiu didn't answer, Gu Feiquan said to himself, "If the facts I know are correct, it was twenty-eight years ago, when they had you in the third year after they got married."

"What do you want to say?" Gu Yanqiu's voice was a little sandy, and his voice sounded much lower than usual.

"Do you know that I am twenty-eight years old this year?"

Gu Yanqiu stared at him.

"Don't look at me like that." Gu Feiquan sneered, "I was already born when the two of them got married."

Gu Yanqiu was expressionless.

"Have you ever wondered how your mother married Gu Huai? Does she know that I already exist in this world? My mother said that she and Gu Huai were in love with each other, and it was your mother who took it away. Let Gu Huai abandon his family and his son." Gu Feiquan's last four words were almost word for word.

"Go away." Gu Yanqiu raised his hand and smashed the candy wrapper in his hand on his face.

Gu Feiquan closed his eyes and looked at her defiantly: "Then how do you explain that he can't wait to welcome my mother and me into the house now, isn't it because he feels guilty?"

"Shut up." Gu Yanqiu clenched his fists and looked at him coldly.

"Don't deceive yourself, Gu Yanqiu, do you think your mother is a good person?"

"I told you to shut up!" Gu Yanqiu finally stood up from the horse, loosened his knuckles, and punched him in the face.

Gu Feiquan was beaten on the head by her, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, he licked the corner of his lips, and shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't hit women, you can let go if you want to."

Gu Feiquan raised the corners of his lips mockingly: "But it's best to ask your father what he did wrong."

Gu Yanqiu slammed the door and left.

Gu Feiquan looked at her back, his eyes slowly softened from mocking.

Go ask, I also want to know what the truth was back then.

The author has something to say: It's a little sweet article, I swear, it's really sweet, not sweet and no money╰(*°▽°*)╯

There has been emotional progress, and we will have a good chat.

Gu Yanqiu: I'm going to send myself thousands of miles away, no, send a rabbit, how can I not bring a token of love? !
