unconsciously

It's already twenty-nine years old, and I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient without a car on this road... Why don't you stay and finish the new year. "

Zhang Jingchuan snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't take this kind of trick, and said: "It's okay, since you can come, you can find a way to leave, don't worry about me, and have a good New Year with your father..."

"Eh...but..." Gu Yuanhang still wanted to dissuade him.

Before leaving the house, Zhang Jingchuan said kindly to him, "Come back early after the Chinese New Year... Brother Jingchuan will take you around the capital when I have time." After speaking, he greeted Gu's father and walked out with his luggage. Go out, leave.

Zhang Jingchuan found people in the village, rented an ox cart, took him to the county, and then took the bus from the county to Anshan Railway Station. He got down at the capital station, and finally made another stop all the way north from the south of the capital, and went straight to his hometown in the north of the capital. The journey was rain or shine, and it was already early morning the next day when he arrived home.

Zhang Jingchuan came in with his luggage, and the two Zhang family members lay down early to rest, but it was rare for anyone to be at home at this time.

Zhang Huaichuan just got home yesterday morning, the plane flew for a whole day, and he still hasn't lost his jet lag.He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up to get something to eat. It happened that he happened to meet his younger brother coming home, and he picked such a time.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for more than a year, and they don't know what to say.

Zhang Jingchuan opened his mouth and asked him, "Why are you so sleepy in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Huaichuan threw the quick-frozen dumplings into the boiling water pot, and replied angrily, "You're not going to get better, you came back in the middle of the night...you can't go home because you owe a lot of debt." He sneered, Ask him again: "I heard from my mother that you will not go home for the New Year this year, why did you suddenly come back?"

Zhang Jingchuan was already so hungry that his chest was on his back, and he didn't have time to talk to him, so he just said: "You make this dumpling well, give me a bowl too."

"You are so beautiful!" Zhang Huaichuan didn't give him a good look, and said angrily, "If you want to cook your own dumplings, don't think about my dumplings."

That being said, when Zhang Jingchuan returned to his room and took a shower, two bowls of steaming dumplings had already been cooked on the kitchen table.

Zhang Jingchuan swallowed two whole, but Zhang Huaichuan didn't plan to sit down to eat with him, turned his head and went upstairs with the dishes in hand.

Early the next morning, Zhang's mother was overjoyed when she heard the news that her youngest son had returned home in the early hours of last night. She ordered Chen's mother in the kitchen to prepare two more dishes today, and went to the youngest son's room to see that Zhang Jingchuan was sleeping soundly.

At noon, the family of four sat down to eat together.

It was rare for the two sons to go home for the New Year, and the atmosphere in the Zhang family was more lively than before. In addition, Zhang's mother was talking and laughing, and it felt like a happy family for a while.

After dinner, Zhang's father and Zhang Huaichuan were watching TV in the living room, Zhang's mother and Chen's mother were busy with dinner in the kitchen, leaving Zhang Jingchuan alone in the room.

It was boring for him to sit still, so he changed his clothes and prepared to go out for a walk.

Passing the living room, Zhang's father saw that Zhang Jingchuan was about to go out, so he stopped him.

It's New Year's Eve, Zhang Jingchuan didn't dare to disobey the old man's wishes, knowing that sitting down would be a lot of nagging, but he had no choice but to be patient.

Zhang's father sighed again when he talked about his marriage, Zhang Huaichuan on the side looked on coldly and didn't say a word.

In the end, Father Zhang said earnestly to the little son: "Your father and I have no other ideas. I just want you to marry a wife and have children quickly, so that I can fulfill my wish to be a grandfather earlier. Other things... what do you want?" Tossing dad doesn't care about you."

Zhang Jingchuan knew that the old man still minded that he didn't listen to the advice before, didn't work hard in his own company, and decided to go to the capital to open a studio, and he was busy for a whole year without making any achievements.

He glanced at the person sitting beside him. Zhang Huaichuan had a calm face and was concentrating on the TV news.

He slandered in his heart that it was really unfair that the old man didn't take the eldest son for surgery and put all the pressure on his youngest son.

When it's time for dinner, the family sits down to watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating. This is an old habit of the Zhang family for many years.

It's a pity that this year's Spring Festival Gala programs were not very exciting, Zhang's father had to go upstairs to rest after a hasty dinner, and Zhang's mother also got up early after seeing this.At the dinner table, the two brothers stared at each other, feeling that they had no appetite, so they asked Mama Zhang to take all the food.

Zhang Jingchuan was sitting in the living room watching TV, sometimes he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it, sometimes he put the mobile phone on the coffee table, and checked it again after a while.

Zhang Huaiwen saw him at the side, and asked him: "You have been staring at your phone for a long time, who are you waiting for?"

Zhang Jingchuan felt guilty when he was asked, but he didn't want to show timidity in front of his brother, so he picked up his phone and stood up to go upstairs, "What's the matter... I'm tired, I went upstairs to rest."

When Zhang Jingchuan returned to his room, he still felt like he had nothing to do. On New Year's Eve, every family was busy celebrating the new year. Only he, a loner, thought about going out to have fun to pass the time.It's a pity that it's late at night, not to mention the hotel boxes, and even the barbecue stalls have been closed early to go home for the New Year. Thinking of this, Zhang Jingchuan felt really pitiful.

In the past, the people who hung out with each other were all wine and meat friends, and everyone came quickly when they were drinking and gathering. Zhang Jingchuan knew that he was not on the same side as them, so he probably wouldn't be able to talk to anyone who really wanted to talk to someone.

He lay down on the bed and played with his mobile phone to pass the time, and then looked at the text messages and call records on his mobile phone for a while, but there was no message of greeting from Gu Yuanhang.

It's been a whole day since I've been home, even if I don't expect him to be careful, at least it's not too much to ask if I got home safely, right?He was a little disheartened, it seemed that this idiot's EQ was really low, if it wasn't for his own unique vision, who would be able to bear his nerves if it were someone else.

Thinking about it, Zhang Jingchuan just fell asleep on the bed with his mobile phone in his arms.

It was close to midnight, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside was deafening. Zhang Jingchuan was woken up. He took his phone to check the time, and checked his inbox. There were a few text messages.

Lu Jin, Xu Liangye, and Liang Zi's group all sent New Year's greetings, and several colleagues from the studio also gave New Year's greetings in the group. He looked through each one, but there was still no message about Gu Yuanhang.

Zhang Jingchuan felt a little unhappy, turned over and began to think about something. After a while, sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhang's mother prepared a table of hot dishes, and called the old man and two sons down, saying that they must have a full meal on the first day of the new year.

Zhang Jingchuan had a quick meal and went out for a stroll, feeling bored, so in the afternoon he packed his luggage and prepared to go back to his home.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhang's mother stopped him and asked, "I've only stayed for two nights and I'm leaving. You don't have anything else important to do, do you?"

Zhang Jingchuan only cared about packing his things, without raising his head, he said, "Well... I don't have anything to do here, I just go back and find a few friends to get together, so what... I have a classmate reunion tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I'm staying at home It's not convenient to go back and forth..."

Mother Zhang complained: "What does that matter, hey... don't leave if you have nothing to do, it's rare to stay at home during the Chinese New Year, isn't your father and I looking forward to it?"

Zhang Jingchuan had finished packing, went downstairs with his suitcase, and said as he walked, "Mom... I'm not going abroad, I'm going back to live for two days, and I'll be back on the Lantern Festival, don't worry."

The mother and son went downstairs together. At the corner of the stairs, they met Zhang Huaichuan who had changed his clothes and was about to go out. Zhang Jingchuan seized the opportunity and said immediately: "Mom...you should let brother stay for a few more days. He rarely returns to China. Next time You might not know when you will come back, right?"

Zhang Huaichuan looked at him without saying a word.

Zhang's mother knew that she couldn't stop him, so she didn't want to stop him. Instead, she said to her eldest son, "Your brother is leaving, where are you going now?"

Zhang Huaichuan knew the situation was not right by looking at him, so he just said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to accompany Dad to go shopping in the community."

Mother Zhang gave up after hearing this, turned around and went back to the room to call the old man to go out.

When Zhang Jingchuan went out, he drove away his old man's Land Rover. The car got on the highway and sped all the way. After a while, it got off the intersection of the highway and went straight to Zhang Jingchuan's small home.

To be honest, Zhang Jingchuan is just not used to living with a family. After he became an adult, he moved out to live independently. After more than ten years, it is really uncomfortable to let him live under the eyes of his parents.

When Zhang Jingchuan arrived home, he didn't know where to go at night, so in order to pass the time nearby, he drove the car to the 'old place'.

Xu Liangye's bar was also busy in the first month of the month. Zhang Jingchuan used to ridicule him as a full-fledged capitalist who fell into the eyes of money, but now that he still has this place to go, he is not so disgusted with Xu Liangye's capitalism in his heart.

Zhang Jingchuan went in and looked for his usual seat. The waiter saw him coming and asked him in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Zhang still free today?"

Zhang Jingchuan smiled, ordered a glass of wine, and replied, "I'm too bored at home, come out to get some air." After speaking, he looked around, but Xu Liangye was nowhere to be seen, and asked him, "Hey, where's your boss?"

The waiter replied, "The boss is busy with getting married these days, so he hasn't come for several days."

When Zhang Jingchuan heard it, he forgot about it.

The two didn't talk much after that, Zhang Jingchuan sat quietly drinking for a while, and didn't watch the performance on the stage, but there was someone sitting in the empty seat next to him for a while.

He didn't even raise his head, and he didn't look at anyone, but the people beside him greeted him first.

"Brother Jingchuan... are you there?"

Zhang Jingchuan knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice. He turned his head and took a look. It had been a few days since they had seen each other. Ji Shuchen looked even better now.

He also nodded and greeted people, "Hello."

Ji Shuchen said, "I saw you as soon as you entered the door, and I wondered if it might be you...I didn't expect it to be you." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes sparkled, "Brother Ye is not here today, you What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."

Zhang Jingchuan chuckled, "There's no need to treat guests." He looked Ji Shuchen up and down, he was well dressed, he didn't look like he came to a bar to drink, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

If he remembered correctly, Ji Shuchen said before that he was a student of T University, but how could a student wear such nice clothes?

Some obscene/evil thoughts popped up in Zhang Jingchuan's mind, and when he looked at Ji Shuchen again, his eyes became less formal.

The two chatted for a few words, during which Ji Shuchen asked more questions, and he answered less. In the end, Ji Shuchen also noticed Zhang Jingchuan's lack of interest, so he asked his opinion, "Brother Jingchuan, are you tired? Why don't we change?" place to talk?"

Zhang Jingchuan guessed what he meant, and politely refused: "I'm tired...and I plan to go back to rest early." He patted Ji Shuchen on the shoulder, "Brother Jingchuan will buy you a drink next time."

These words were very useful, Ji Shuchen showed a smile, and finally stopped entanglement.

Zhang Jingchuan went straight home after leaving the house, still complaining in his heart, why did he meet this kid, it's really a bad time.

On the night of returning home, Zhang Jingchuan had a low fever.He lived alone at home and had no one to take care of him. At first he thought it was just a minor ailment and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect that the low fever turned into a high fever the next day. He hurriedly got up to look for medicine, and found a pack of I don't know if the anti-fever medicine has expired, so I threw it into my mouth and swallowed it.

But it didn't work. Not only did the fever persist, but people suffered as well.He just lay at home for two days and one night, without any rice water. He was already very hungry. In the middle of the night, his stomach hurt badly. When he got up to find something to eat, he opened the refrigerator and saw that it was empty except for two onions. .

Zhang Jingchuan lay down on the bed and thought, God will let him go like this, pity he is going to die young without asking for his wife in his prime, and thinking of his parents at home, they will send their white hair to their black ones Faren, thinking about that scene, he couldn't help crying silently.

After finally getting through the most painful period, Zhang Jingchuan woke up again when it was daylight. This time he was much more awake, ready to pull out his phone and call his brother for help.

Just as he took out his phone and was about to dial a number, a familiar name jumped on the screen.

Zhang Jingchuan squinted and saw that Gu Yuanhang's text message was listed first in the inbox. He couldn't believe it, and the hand holding the phone began to shake uncontrollably.

☆, (seventeen)

Zhang Jingchuan picked up the phone, and before Gu Yuanhang could speak, he yelled, "Xiaoyuan... come and save me."

Gu Yuanhang was taken aback, he almost lost his grip on the phone, "Brother Jingchuan, what's wrong with you?"

Half an hour later, Zhang Jingchuan heard someone ring the doorbell, he got up from the bed, and stepped forward to open the door lightly.

Gu Yuanhang, who was standing outside the door, was wearing a black jacket and a black linen cap with dots of snowflakes on it. Seeing Zhang Jingchuan's haggard face, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Jingchuan, I heard that you had a fever and I rushed over immediately... are you okay?"

Zhang Jingchuan saw that he had traveled thousands of miles to visit him in the wind and snow, and he almost held his hand with tears in his eyes to express his gratitude. Just as he was about to speak, his brain felt dizzy, and his feet were so weak that he almost fell off.

Gu Yuanhang dropped the things in his hands and stepped forward to support him, "Come on, I'll help you go back."

Zhang Jingchuan fell on the bed again, Gu Yuanhang came in and opened the curtains of his room, only then did Zhang Jingchuan realize that there was heavy snow falling outside, and the whole world was white, very beautiful.

Gu Yuanhang boiled hot water for him, took out antipyretics to feed him, and said, "Fortunately, the convenience store downstairs in your community is open. I bought you medicine and necessities." After finishing speaking, He stood up, "Go to sleep, I'll get you something to eat."

Zhang Jingchuan took the antipyretics and felt dizzy, and soon fell asleep again.

When Gu Yuanhang came, he bought a big bag of vegetables and fruits, and now Zhang Jingchuan was sleeping soundly, no matter how much he messed around in the kitchen, no one in the room could hear him.

At noon, Zhang Jingchuan woke up from hunger, opened his eyes and looked around, and finally confirmed that he was at his home.

Gu Yuanhang opened the door and came in and saw him open his eyes, so he brought the prepared meal to his bed: "Brother Jingchuan, just woke up... Come, let's eat."

Zhang Jingchuan's stomach was already growling with hunger, and he didn't dislike his cooking skills at this time, he bowed his head and took two mouthfuls of food, seeming to enjoy it very much.

Seeing him devouring his food, Gu Yuanhang couldn't help persuading him with a smile: "Eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."

Zhang Jingchuan took two more mouthfuls of food, puffed his cheeks and said, "Your cooking skills have improved, this food...is really good."

Gu Yuanhang smiled embarrassedly, "Hey...my dad taught me, if you like...I'll make it for you next time."

After eating, Zhang Jingchuan finally regained his energy, and his fever seemed to subside. After lying at home for two days, he almost got moldy.Therefore, while Gu Yuanhang was washing the dishes, he got up, took a hot bath, changed his outfit, dressed up cleanly, and said to the people who were busy in the kitchen: "Let's go out for a walk, I will I've been bored for several days

Gu Yuanhang wiped his hands and put the cleaned dishes into the cupboard, "But it's snowing outside...you just felt better, in case..."

Zhang Jingchuan couldn't understand his mother-in-law's appearance the most, "Don't worry, I'll be healthy for the next half a year from this illness, it's rare for you to come here... just keep me company?"

Gu Yuanhang finally let go, "Alright then."

Before going out, Gu Yuanhang put on a scarf and hat for himself, and when he saw Zhang Jingchuan beside him, he was afraid that he would be frozen, so he would wrap him tightly inside and outside, so he gave up.

The two went downstairs together. The snow had just stopped outside, and the sun peeked out a ray of light from the clouds. Zhang Jingchuan was walking downstairs in his own community, talking to Gu Yuanhang while walking.

He asked him, "Why did you come back so early and didn't spend more time with your father at home?"

Gu Yuanhang replied: "I'm going back to work on the sixth day, so I bought a ticket in advance and come back early."

Zhang Jingchuan nodded, and asked him again: "Are you planning to go back to work in the bar?"

Gu Yuanhang let out a "hmm" and said, "I don't plan to change it for the time being. I think if there is a chance... go to an adult university and get a diploma."

Zhang Jingchuan knew that he had always had this idea in his heart, so he nodded in agreement: "In the area of ​​adult education... I have a college classmate who has been doing it. If you need help, I can ask him for advice."

Feeling embarrassed, Gu Yuanhang smiled, showing a row of neat teeth, looking a little stupid: "Thank you, Brother Jingchuan!"

Zhang Jingchuan thought he was going to refuse, so he waited for a long time without saying a word. After thinking about it, it seemed that Gu Yuanhang was used to his overtures.

He was very proud of himself, and always felt that the dawn of victory was waving to him, and the smile on his face was almost unstoppable, almost giving away his feet.

When the two arrived at the main entrance of the community, there was a wide river outside. The river was frozen due to the continuous snowfall, and people walking on it trembled, and there was a possibility of falling if they were not careful.

Seeing this rare playfulness, Zhang Jingchuan led Gu Yuanhang down the river together, stood on the ice, and slowly stepped forward step by step, "Come... Xiaoyuan, hold me, and be careful."

Gu Yuanhang was not afraid, but seeing Zhang Jingchuan's trembling and cautious appearance, he suddenly thought of playing tricks on him.

Zhang Jingchuan walked on the ice without daring to show his breath, holding Gu Yuanhang with one hand and tremblingly raising his leg, but he didn't want Gu Yuanhang to push him lightly suddenly, Zhang Jingchuan lost his footing, his feet slipped, and he fell hard a dog.

"Hahahahaha!" Gu Yuanhang couldn't help smiling, bent over to look at him, "You are so stupid hahahahaha..."

Only then did Zhang Jingchuan realize that he had been tricked. He held back his anger and was about to get up, but he couldn't control his balance even though he was supporting the ice with both hands, and fell several times in a row.

In the past, he always had a reserved and self-respecting appearance, and it was rare for him to make a fool of himself in front of Gu Yuanhang. Gu Yuanhang seemed to have discovered a new world, "Brother Jingchuan...be careful, don't fall again...I won't help you Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Jingchuan simply wasn't going to stand up anymore, he held his waist and said "Ouch", and waved to Gu Yuanhang again: "You, come here and have a look, I seem to have slipped up to my waist."

With a painful look on his face, Gu Yuanhang was convinced and hurried forward, with a worried look on his face: "Are you okay?" He said, bending down to help him.

Zhang Jingchuan took this opportunity to lightly hook his feet, Gu Yuanhang didn't pay attention, and with a "bang" they both fell on the ice.

"How dare you look down on me, hahahahaha..." Zhang Jingchuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Yuanhang was stunned, and the two of them were like puppies that fell into the water and couldn't get up for a long time. He was ashamed, and Zhang Jingchuan was no better than him, "Hahahaha..."

Pedestrians passing by along the river saw two big men sitting on the ice, you looked at me and I looked at you without saying anything, just smiling silly, thinking that they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and ran away.

After Zhang Jingchuan recovered from his illness, Gu Yuanhang went back to work. The business in the bar was not affected by the heavy snow, on the contrary it became more and more busy.

The next day, Zhang Jingchuan drove to the "old place". After entering the door, he did not sit down to drink, found Gu Yuanhang, and planned to take him out.

Gu Yuanhang was busy on the other side, seeing him appearing, thought that Zhang Jingchuan had something to do, so he just said: "I'm still at work...I'll cook for you after work."

Thinking of what Gu Yuanhang said at his house before, Zhang Jingchuan almost laughed angrily, patted his shoulder immediately, and said, "What are you thinking about, clean up and take you somewhere."

Gu Yuanhang was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Don't ask so many questions, go and change quickly."

The head waiter of the bar knew that Zhang Jingchuan was a regular customer, and this little Gu had always had a good relationship with him, so he didn't make things difficult for him and let him go.

Gu Yuanhang got into the car, and Zhang Jingchuan drove the car to the commercial district in the city center with many turns and turns.Gu Yuanhang looked at the scenery outside the car window, unable to figure it out, and finally stopped at the entrance of a star hotel.

A waiter stepped forward to lead the way for Zhang Jingchuan, and the two got out of the car. Zhang Jingchuan threw the car keys to the doorman, and took the elevator with Gu Yuanhang to the top floor of the hotel.

The elevator floor display frame jumped up one by one. After a while, the elevator door opened, and a huge wedding photo came into Gu Yuanhang's sight. In front of the photo was a notice board with a few large characters written on it: Congratulations to Mr. Xu Liangye Happy wedding with Miss Lin Wanwan.

Gu Yuanhang looked at the people beside him suspiciously. Zhang Jingchuan calmly led him out of the elevator door to the entrance of the banquet hall, and handed the prepared invitation to the waiter.

Afterwards, a welcoming lady brought them into the venue. The venue was still under preparation, but there were already an endless stream of guests.

Zhang Jingchuan looked around and found several former drinking friends in the crowd.

Someone saw Zhang Jingchuan and greeted him with a glass of wine, "Old Zhang... I haven't seen you for a while, but you seem to be in high spirits."

Zhang Jingchuan clinked glasses with him lightly, and said in a low voice: "When you are in love, you will inevitably be overjoyed."

The man glanced at Gu Yuanhang again, "This is..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce..." Zhang Jingchuan said, "This is my friend, Mr. Gu."

The drinking buddy looked at Gu Yuanhang calmly, but couldn't figure out how such an ordinary person could catch Zhang Jingchuan's eyes.

"Dare to be kind, then I'll congratulate you here first."

"You're welcome." Zhang Jingchuan smiled triumphantly.

The two were courteous again, and finally Zhang Jingchuan ended the topic early on the excuse that he had something to do.

Gu Yuanhang didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he didn't ask him until he was far away, "Brother Jingchuan...why did you bring me here? Isn't this..."

Zhang Jingchuan said: "Don't be so short-sighted, just take it as an opportunity to exercise, and it's also good to know more friends."

Gu Yuanhang nodded half understanding, "Oh."

The two walked around the banquet hall for two more times. After a while, Sangua and Liang Zi also came. Seeing Zhang Jingchuan with a familiar face, they asked him, "Hey... isn't this the little waiter from last time?" ?”

Zhang Jingchuan pretended to smile deeply, without explaining.

The two of them immediately understood, and greeted Gu Yuanhang again, "I'm sorry, brother, we had a bad attitude last time, so don't take it to heart." Sangua said, "If I knew you and Lao Zhang were friends, we wouldn't would be so rude."

Gu Yuanhang was startled, and stammered for a long time to reply: "No, it's okay."

Liang Zi asked him curiously, "By the way...how did you and Lao Zhang meet?"

Gu Yuanhang glanced at Zhang Jingchuan. He was looking up and looking around, but he didn't seem to hear Liang Zi's words, "We met when Brother Jingchuan came to drink at the bar." Gu Yuanhang answered honestly.

"Oh...that's what happened." Liang Zi and San Gua looked at each other, knowing each other well.

While talking, Lu Jin also arrived, he patted his arm, "Why are you in a daze, I've been calling you for a long time."

Zhang Jingchuan waved his hand to signal him to stop making trouble, and Lu Jin followed his gaze to see a boy with a tall figure and a handsome face standing not far from the venue.

"Who is this man, you are so fascinated by watching?" Lu Jin asked him.

Zhang Jingchuan's heart tightened, he never expected to meet him on such an occasion.

☆, (eighteen)

Zhang Jingchuan's eyes carried a trace of sophistication, and after a while, the man seemed to feel his gaze, and turned around to meet his gaze.

Zhang Jingchuan said a few words to Lu Jin, the man gradually approached, and when he came to him, he called him in a moderate voice, "Brother Jingchuan, are you there?"

Lu Jin and Zhang Jingchuan turned their heads together. Ji Shuchen was dressed very solemnly today. He was dressed in a black suit, with a straight figure and deep and three-dimensional features on his fair face. Zhang Jingchuan had never paid attention to him. After taking a closer look today, he realized that Ji Shuchen was not A pretty face.

"Well, I'm here to attend Boss Xu's wedding." Zhang Jingchuan responded, and then asked him, "How about you?"

Ji Shuchen replied: "Me too, but I am a relative on the woman's side." As he spoke, he looked at the people beside Zhang Jingchuan.

Lu Jin and Gu Yuanhang stood on both sides of Zhang Jingchuan, Ji Shuchen asked, "Are these two your friends?"

Zhang Jingchuan introduced him, "This is Gu Yuanhang. You guys met before. This is Lu Jin. I'm a kid."

Lu Jin stretched out his hand to show his favor, while Gu Yuanhang remained silent, as if he didn't care about Zhang Jingchuan's words.

Ji Shuchen and Lu Jin shook hands, and after a moment of politeness, they left again.

As Ji Shuchen walked away, Lu Jin turned around and asked Zhang Jingchuan, "Old Zhang, you actually know this kid...it's incredible..."

Both Zhang Jingchuan and Gu Yuanhang looked puzzled, Lu Jin explained: "The ones surnamed Ji and the ones surnamed Lin, don't you understand what's going on?"

Zhang Jingchuan was slightly taken aback, as if he was quite surprised.

While the two were talking, the master of ceremonies on the stage was making a wedding speech for the couple, and the banquet reached its climax.

Zhang Jingchuan suddenly felt bored, tugged at the buttons of his shirt, and said to Lu Jin, "I'm going out to get some air."

Lu Jin nodded.

Zhang Jingchuan walked out of the banquet hall and went to a side window to smoke.

Occasionally, there was the sound of guests drinking together at the entrance of the banquet hall. Zhang Jingchuan thought about Lu Jin's words before, and he didn't notice anyone standing beside him for a while.

Gu Yuanhang called to stop him: "Brother Jingchuan, why are you here?"

Zhang Jingchuan turned his head to look at him, extinguished the cigarette he had just lit, and said, "It's too stuffy inside, come out to get some air." He paused slightly, and asked him, "Why did you come out?"

Gu Yuanhang was a little embarrassed and said: "I, I thought you were gone, and I have been looking for you for a long time..."

Zhang Jingchuan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted his arm: "What are you thinking...can I leave you?" He was addicted to cigarettes, and waved him in at this moment, "I'll smoke a cigarette first, you wait for me inside. "

Gu Yuanhang was also obedient, nodded at this time, said "um", turned around and entered the door.

In the banquet hall, a couple of newlyweds were busy toasting, surrounded by several elders, no one could be seen.At Gu Yuanhang's table, Liang Zi and San Gua got up and left at some point, and Lu Jin was also standing at this moment, talking with other familiar guests, and had no time to take his presence into consideration.

Gu Yuanhang felt a little bored for a moment, looked around twice, and decided to get up.

Before he went out, he was stopped by a familiar person and greeted him: "You are Gu Yuanhang, right?"

Gu Yuanhang looked at the person, had met him once, had some impressions, but didn't know the person's name, "You are?"

Ji Shuchen laughed and said, "You don't remember me? I have an impression of you." He explained, "We met at the restaurant around Christmas last year, do you remember?"

Only then did Gu Yuanhang realize that he couldn't call out the other party's name, and felt very embarrassed, so he said dryly, "Um... hello."

Ji Shuchen stretched out his hand, with a kind face on his face, "My name is Ji Shuchen, and you Boss Xu's cousin is also acquainted with Brother Jingchuan."

He was also present at the scene where Zhang Jingchuan and Ji Shuchen met before, Gu Yuanhang knew it well and didn't say anything.

Ji Shuchen asked him again, "What about you? I think it looks like this...you have a good relationship with Brother Jingchuan, don't you?"

Gu Yuanhang only replied, "Well, Brother Jingchuan takes good care of me."

Ji Shuchen wentssip again: "I've never heard Brother Jingchuan mention you, are you from this city?"

Gu Yuanhang didn't care about the city, and said indifferently, "I'm from Anshan."

"Oh, that's it..." Ji Shuchen made a sudden realization expression, "Then how did you know Brother Jingchuan?"

"I……"

Gu Yuanhang was about to answer, but was interrupted by Zhang Jingchuan who happened to appear, "Xiaoyuan!"

He tilted his head and saw that Zhang Jingchuan had come back from smoking at some point, full of hostility, and was very displeased at the moment.

Zhang Jingchuan stepped forward to interrupt the conversation between the two of them, and when he saw Ji Shuchen again, his expression turned serious, and he led Gu Yuanhang away without saying a word.

The two left the banquet hall, Zhang Jingchuan walked in front, Gu Yuanhang followed, he walked straight with his head down, Zhang Jingchuan stopped suddenly without saying hello, he almost bumped into him.

"Jing, Brother Jing Chuan, why don't you leave?" Gu Yuanhang touched his nose and said without any danger.

Zhang Jingchuan turned around, with a bad expression on his face, and asked him, "What did that kid tell you just now?"

"Oh, he just asked me a few casual questions. It's okay." Seeing Zhang Jingchuan's anger, Gu Yuanhang changed the subject, "Brother Jingchuan, shall we leave now?"

Zhang Jingchuan was still persistent, and emphasized with a sullen expression: "That kid is not a good bird, next time you meet him... stay away."

Zhang Jingchuan seldom talked to him with his face down like this, Gu Yuanhang finally nodded formally in response, keeping these words in his heart.

Being disturbed by Ji Shuchen, no one was interested in staying any longer, the two went out the gate, and Zhang Jingchuan sent him back home.

In the next few days, Zhang Jingchuan was busy with the new year's work plan in the studio, and he was exhausted from handling the work every day, and he was almost exhausted, and the unpleasantness that happened that day seemed to be forgotten.

The next day, Zhang Jingchuan was busy with work, and when he was about to leave work, he received a phone call from home. Zhang’s mother’s voice came from the microphone and asked him: “Youngest, today is the Lantern Festival... are you still busy with work? Remember to call back tonight. If you want to eat at home, Mom will prepare a table of your favorite food for you."

It was only then that Zhang Jingchuan remembered that he was supposed to go home for the holidays today, so he looked up at the window. It was getting late, and the street lights were on, reflecting in front of the glass window, and the scenery was very beautiful.

Zhang Jingchuan thought of Gu Yuanhang again for no reason, he had been too busy these days to forget, and that kid didn't even have a phone call, it's really abominable!

Thinking that today is Lantern Festival, Zhang Jingchuan was worried about him again, how would Gu Yuanhang plan to celebrate the festival?

Without thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

The bell rang twice and then hung up.

Zhang Jingchuan held the receiver and found it inconceivable that Gu Yuanhang actually hung up on him? !

He was a little angry and a little bit unwilling, knowing that he shouldn't be entangled, but because of his pride, he couldn't help but dial it back again.

Looking back at Yuanhang, he was even more decisive and turned off the phone directly. He seemed to have guessed that Zhang Jingchuan would call back.

Zhang Jingchuan lay down on the sofa in the office, suffering from a headache. It seemed that this boy was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

Not long after, Zhang Jingchuan missed someone, picked up his cell phone and called him again.

The bar at this spot has not yet opened, Xu Liangye quickly picked it up, and said cheerfully: "Old Zhang, what good thing do you need brother to help you with today?"

Zhang Jingchuan didn't shy away from it, and asked him straight to the point: "Where's Gu Yuanhang?"

Xu Liangye pretended not to know, "You mean Xiao Gu? Why are you asking me? I'm not in charge of watching people for you."

Zhang Jingchuan wanted to break his voice, and vented into the microphone, "If you fart, let it go, don't ruin our little friendship!"

Xu Liangye just wanted to tease him, but he didn't really want to provoke him, "Just kidding, why are you so serious." He paused, and explained: "Xiao Gu asked for leave today and didn't come to work."

Gu Yuanhang has no friends or relatives in this city, Zhang Jingchuan couldn't think of where else he could go on this day.

While guessing the authenticity of Xu Liangye's words, he was puzzled and asked him, "Didn't come to work? Where did he go?"

Xu Liangye pretended to be mysterious and said, "I really want to know? Then I can't tell you."

The night gradually fell, and the Huoshaoyun in the distance was swallowed by the darkness, and finally was hidden by a touch of dark blue, leaving only a little bit of starlight, very bright.

There was a steady stream of vehicles on the viaduct, and Zhang Jingchuan's off-road vehicle was driving among them. The night wind blew past his ears through the cracks in the windows, and the whistling wind overshadowed the harsh and sharp sound of the wheels speeding across the road.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the main entrance of the Second City Hospital as scheduled.

It wasn't until the bright red cross came into view that Zhang Jingchuan regained his senses and woke up.

Pedestrians passed by outside the car, so he turned off the car and parked it in a parking space on the side of the road.

When he arrived at the door, Zhang Jingchuan felt a little homely and timid.He lit a cigarette, took two puffs quietly, the smell of tobacco gradually permeated, and soon filled the entire carriage.

Zhang Jingchuan pondered over and over again, and finally he finally made up his mind, thinking: It's okay, we've come here, there's no reason not to go in and see what's going on.

He stubbed out the cigarette and stepped down
