Chapter 9
The receiver was silent for a long time, until Gu Chixi couldn’t help but say again: “…Ningning?”
“Um.”
“Are you busy?”
“No.”
Another moment of silence.
Gu Chixi looked at the carpet, her eyelashes trembled slightly, “It’s alright, let’s do this first.”
She hung up.
Later, I will hear Wen Ning’s voice, and I can’t bear it.
Gu Chixi closed his eyes and ruffled his hair.
The irritability in her heart dissipated, but there was still a suffocating feeling. She leaned on the sofa tiredly, lightly pressing her chest with one hand, and clutching the phone tightly with the other hand, vaguely expecting that it would vibrate due to incoming calls.
Then the phone vibrated.
It’s not a phone call, it’s a text message, sent by Wen Ning.
[Sexy beautiful captain, paid online chat, 300 yuan for ten minutes, there is no shop in this village. 】
Gu Chixi stared at the text message and smiled.
She read it several times and returned to the past: You are a priceless treasure.
After a long time of silence, she called again.
“This is Captain Wen’s online chat service, and the timing starts now.” As soon as it was connected, Wen Ning spoke in an electronic voice.
Gu Chixi bent the corner of his mouth towards the phone, “Can you sing?”
“There is an additional charge for singing, two hundred yuan per piece.”
“it is good.”
“What do you want to hear?”
“”swirl”.”
“…”
“Um?”
“I’m looking for the full version of the lyrics.” Wen Ning said.
There was a rustling over there, and after a while, there was a gentle and light tone.
Wen Ning doesn’t know Cantonese, but she loves listening to Cantonese songs. After listening to it a lot, she can gradually imitate the pronunciation of the lyrics.
Her voice was thin but not sharp, soft and full of breath.
“Come and sink, in my depths, the world is about to turn into a splash…” After singing the sentence he hummed that night, his voice suddenly became smaller.
The lyrics are written very obscurely, but they are full of ambiguous and profound meanings. It’s nothing to sing generously.
Gu Chixi listened quietly.
When this song was released, they were all still in elementary school. They couldn’t understand it before, but thought the melody was beautiful. Now that it’s older, the more they listen to it, the more beautiful it can taste.
The surroundings seemed to have really turned into a whirlpool, stirring Gu Chixi little by little, and the air was full of water, fine and crystal, rushing towards her from all directions, wrapping her.
In the hazy, the memory of that night’s crazy indulgence fills in my mind.
Ning Ning was also very stubborn on the bed. She asked her to call out, but she didn’t, preferring to gasp against the pillow, humming in her nose, and she just gritted her teeth and said nothing. Finally annoyed, trembling and cursing.
The harder you scold, the more comfortable you are.
“Ning Ning…” Gu Chixi couldn’t help calling her.
The singing stopped abruptly.
According to Wen Ning’s angry temper in the past, it was time to hang up the phone directly, but she didn’t, she just kept silent and didn’t give a half-word response.
Gu Chixi pursed her lips and changed the subject wisely, “I asked Xiao Tan to pick up the car.”
There was silence for a while, and then he laughed: “If I don’t drive away, others should think I’m being taken care of.”
Tianhe Bay used to be a well-known and wealthy area in Los Angeles. Later, the city expanded and planning changed. New villas sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and the new urban area became lively. Now Tianhe Bay is just an ordinary old community, the housing price has not risen much, and the residents are ordinary people.
Time can change many things.
“Then are you willing to be taken care of by me?” Gu Chixi asked jokingly.
It was a joke on her lips, but she had a temptation in her heart. Wen Ning’s debt was not small, and it would take at least 30 years to pay off 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month, plus interest.
I have lived under the pressure of debt for most of my life.
For the current Gu Chixi, there is no pressure to use money to help Wen Ning pay off his debts, but with Wen Ning’s temperament, speaking out directly is tantamount to waiting for a stab.
So she needs a reason.
“What about Tao’er?” Wen Ning also joked, “I’m very valuable, you can’t afford it.”
This means rejection.
Gu Chixi’s eyes darkened, and he no longer insisted, “Okay, I will work hard to make money.”
There is nothing to talk about between them, except for work, the rest is only the past, like coffee with a lot of milk and sugar, the entrance is mellow and sweet, and the fine taste is mixed with bitterness.
Reunited until now, and even reminiscences are rare.
“I asked a friend out for dinner, now it’s time to go.”
“What friend?”
Wen Ning said in a lazy tone, “You don’t know each other anyway. That’s it, Mr. Gu, remember to order me next time you need chat service—” After speaking, she pinched.
Gu Chixi held the phone in a trance.
After sitting for a while, she checked the time, opened Alipay, entered Wen Ning’s mobile phone number, and transferred 10,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ning turned back nine thousand five in less than a minute.
“…”
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky a light golden red, and the clouds were burned by fire, like a vivid oil painting.
Zhonglan Villa is located on the outskirts of Luocheng New District, surrounded by mid-mountains and facing the bay to the south. The environment is excellent. It was originally a property under the name of Gu Zhouhai. After the person left, according to his will, it now belongs to Gu Chixi.
About a month and a half ago, Gu Chixi and her mother moved in, but she didn’t like it here, she usually stayed in a hotel, and only came to see if she was bothered by her mother.
Go through the vestibule garden, enter the main building, and take the elevator to the tea room on the third floor.
The door was open, and there was an ambiguous whisper inside. Gu Chixi paused at his feet, didn’t stop, and strode in.
A middle-aged beautiful woman was lying on the soft slump, her hair was disheveled, and the young man was half-kneeling beside her, his strong arms wrapped around her, face to face, very intimate.
Gu Chixi coughed lightly.
The two turned their heads instantly, and Yang Yi calmly pushed the man away, sat up, squinted and smiled: “Xixi, it’s back.”
“Um.”
Gu Chixi sat on the sofa next to her with a cold face.
“Let’s stay at home at night? Talk to Mom.” Yang Yi approached her affectionately, took her arm, and winked at the young man, who immediately served tea.
He is Yang Yi’s new boyfriend, a model little wolf dog. He is tall, handsome, and clean. He is five years younger than Gu Chixi.
On the other hand, Yang Yi is fifty-four this year. She has a noble temperament and is well maintained. She looks at most forty years old. Sitting next to Gu Chixi is more like a sister.
Gu Chixi raised his eyelids, “What are you talking about?”
“You’re outside every day. Mom misses you very much. I don’t eat well, and I don’t sleep well. I’m looking forward to your return…”
“Just tell me how much you want.”
Yang Yi choked.
The room was quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward. The little wolf dog looked at the mother and daughter, then exited silently and closed the door.
“That’s how you talked to me?”
Yang Yi didn’t expect her daughter to give no face at all, and slapped her face directly in front of the little wolf dog. For a while, she felt that she couldn’t hang on, and was a little annoyed.
Gu Chixi ignored it, just stared at the teacup, and repeated: “How much does it cost?”
“My life is really hard. I have no conscience to find a man, and I have no conscience to have a daughter. It’s okay to fight for the family property. I can’t even say a word well…” Yang Yi complained rambled, squinting her eyes as she spoke. .
“I see, you have the ability to give me a cold face at home.”
I don’t know how many times these words have been said, the same tone, and the content has been changed, almost from the novel to the big one. Zuo is only complaining about that, and he is the most innocent.
Gu Chixi sneered: “It’s better than being kicked as a junior.”
As soon as the words fell, the air froze.
“you-”
Yang Yi was in a hurry, and a crack appeared on her delicately maintained face. She stood up and pointed at her daughter condescendingly, “You unconscience still mocking me? I’m not all for you! Raising you is easy! Those years I How much pain you have suffered…”
“It’s your own fault to endure hardship.”
“…”
Gu Chixi patted her hand away, got up, and a coldness burst into his dark eyes: “Whether it is to raise me, or use me as a bargaining chip to ask Gu Zhouhai for money, you know it yourself.”
The relationship between the mother and daughter has always been lukewarm, and many involvements are based on money, with little warmth. When he was a child, Gu Chixi still had fantasies and tried to change, but when he grew up, he became disheartened.
She was just a tool used by her mother to make money.
I’m happy, coax it, it’s my dear baby. Unhappy, beating and scolding, it is a useless dragging oil bottle.
It’s been this way since I was a kid.
“A sin, a sin…”
Yang Yi was trembling with anger, and she fell down on the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks, “It’s amazing to get a little inheritance from your father, and the wings are hard, and my mother doesn’t want it anymore. What’s the point of my life, even my own daughter hates it. I…”
She cried sadly, her eyes were full of red blood, which was really pitiful.
Gu Chixi turned his face away irritably, his fingers clenched into fists.
Every time they meet, they start quarreling within five minutes, and they can’t talk together in three sentences. In the past, Gu Chixi was able to endure, but the fire between the mother and daughter was not too bad, but over the years, more and more negative emotions have accumulated in her heart, and her patience has reached the bottom line.
But she couldn’t be ruthless.
Seeing that her daughter was unmoved, Yang Yi gradually held back her tears and sat there like a child.
“That’s right,” Gu Chixi said quietly, “I despise you very much, but you have to rely on me, just like you despised me when you were a child, and I had to rely on you.”
After speaking, she took out a card from her bag and threw it on the ground.
…
The night was dark, and the city lights were bright, obscuring the thin moonlight above the clouds.
Friday is the busiest, because the next day is the weekend, you can indulge. There were twice as many pedestrians on the streets of the city than usual, and the bustling areas in the center were still a little congested at eight or nine o’clock.
Gu Chixi drove the car through the city, lap after lap, until the fuel ran out.
She drove to the gas station, filled it up, and continued driving aimlessly down the street. Street lights, advertisements, and delicious food all swept through the windows and fell back like shooting stars.
The Vortex was playing on a loop in the car.
Unconsciously, she went to the direction of Tianhe Bay, and the surrounding high-rise buildings gradually turned into low-rise bungalows. As soon as she entered the old city, the strong breath of life came to her face.
The community is very quiet, the old street lamps are mottled with rust and emit a dull yellow light.
Building N102 was dark, and the owner didn’t seem to be at home. Gu Chixi hesitated for a while, then drove the car forward a little and stopped behind the big tree on the side of the fence.
When the fire was turned off, the lights went out, and the body was completely hidden in the darkness.
The surroundings were silent. She folded her arms against the back of the chair, her body slowly relaxed, her gaze followed the dim yellow light and fell on the door of the courtyard, staring silently.
After an unknown time, two figures appeared at the end of the road.
Under the street lamp, Wen Ning walked side by side with a strange long-haired woman, chatting and laughing, walking leisurely to the gate of the courtyard and entering the house together.
The house lights up.
