Gu Rong

Chapter 18

It has been a week since Xu Junming returned to China.

Zhuang Shaoqi still sends text messages to Gu Rong every day, and at the same time, he is "generous" to leave him room not to come to the hospital to look for him.Instead, Xu Junming became the person who bought him coffee in the morning and had dinner with him at noon. When he noticed Gu Rong's intentional avoidance, Xu Junming proposed to just be friends. For a while, his life seemed to return to before Zhuang Shaoqi appeared.

The difference is that Gu Qianqian is not happy to accept this.

For a six-year-old child, whoever can give her more toys and satisfy her more preferences will obviously be the one she is closest to.Zhuang Shaoqi understands this very well, one month of getting along with him will please Gu Qianqian more than Xu Junming's two years.

When Gu Rong came to the school to pick up Gu Qianqian, when she found that there was one person missing, she keenly sensed something was wrong, looked around and asked, "Where's Brother Zhuang?"

Gu Rong was about to reach out to grab the schoolbag on her daughter's back, but she avoided it, and could only say: "Your Brother Zhuang has something to do, so I'm the only one to pick you up today."

The usually obedient daughter has long been doted on by Zhuang Shaoqi and has a willful temper. When she heard that Gu Rong and Zhuang Shaoqi had not fulfilled their promise, her pink and tender face immediately wrinkled: "You promised to come pick me up today , take me to the safari park tomorrow!"

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

"I still want Brother Zhuang, it's boring with you!"

Although it was an unintentional word, Gu Rong was shocked when he heard it.As a father, he is not only unable to pick up his own child, even the child is unwilling to play with him.

Gu Rong thought about it carefully, and found that in the past six years, he really didn't take his daughter to play anywhere.

Gu Qianqian grabbed the big iron gate of the school, unwilling to take a step forward: "I told my classmates that I am going to see animals this week! If you don't take me there, I won't go home!"

"What nonsense!" Gu Rong frowned, and when he took a step closer, Gu Qianqian ran back to the school and hid behind the big pillar of the school.

The security guards at the gate prevented Gu Rong from entering, and the more Gu Rong sternly let Gu Qianqian out, the more Gu Qianqian cried and shouted outside the school that his father's words don't count.

In the end, Gu Rong had no choice but to call Zhuang Shaoqi.

Hearing the familiar voice again through the receiver, Gu Rong's heart moved slightly.

Half an hour later, Zhuang Shaoqi drove to the school gate, holding a mechanical toy dog ​​in his hand, and his figure was still so tall and upright when he got out of the car.

"Gu Rong, I miss you."

There was a sudden numbness in his ears, and Gu Rong subconsciously took a step aside, staring at the school gate with his tightly closed lips.

Seeing that Zhuang Shaoqi came to pick her up, Gu Qianqian finally ran out of the campus happily, with two dry tears on her pink and tender face.

The mechanical dog in Zhuang Shaoqi's hand was immediately seen by the clever Gu Qianqian. After snatching it from him, he looked at it for a long time, and then held the new toy in one hand and Zhuang Shaoqi in the other hand and said happily: "Let's go home !"

The mechanical dog is a newly produced toy. Its furry appearance is like a simulated pet. The difference is that the mechanical dog can speak simple human language, understand many passwords and make corresponding actions.

Gu Qianqian had a great time playing with the mechanical dog in the back seat of the car. They were at the age when children were competing with each other. Every time Gu Qianqian learned of a popular new toy from his classmates, Gu Qianqian would ask Zhuang Shaoqi to buy it for her.

Gu Rong fastened the seat belt for his daughter in the back seat, and when he got into the driver's seat, Zhuang Shaoqi took out a turquoise jade pendant from his pocket and hung it on the rearview mirror.

"I don't need it, you take it away."

"The safe one must be hung on it." Zhuang Shaoqi insisted.

The emerald green of Pixiu adds a touch of color to the dark gray interior space.Gu Rong started the car in silence and stopped arguing with him.

After school time is the rush hour, the speed of traffic jams on the road is not much faster than the speed of people walking on the street.

This season already has a tendency to get up early when it gets dark, and it started to rain again on the way back. The icy rain dripped on the glass, causing the temperature inside the car to cool down rapidly.The windows of the car were covered with fog, and even though his vision was slightly affected, Gu Rong was still driving steadily, and he didn't feel half impatient when he was stuck on the road.

The atmosphere between the two was strangely quiet, Zhuang Shaoqi tried many times to raise the topic, but because of the indifference on Gu Rong's face, he swallowed the words back.

The parking lot was about 100 meters away from the apartment, and the rain was even more violent than before. Gu Rong parked the car in front of the apartment building, and said to Zhuang Shaoqi, "Use an umbrella and take Kiara to the building, and I'll park the car."

"Okay." Zhuang Shaoqi opened the umbrella, carefully put his arms around Gu Qianqian, and led her into the building.Zhuang Shaoqi waited in the lobby for a while before he arrived at Gu Rong, and just walked to the door in front of the building.

Gu Rong was wearing a black overcoat, which almost blended into the dark background. Zhuang Shaoqi watched the man running from a distance, opened the umbrella in his hand and chased him out.The sound of rainwater hitting the umbrella sharply, making a continuous bang.

Zhuang Shaoqi's voice was a few decibels higher than usual: "Why didn't you tell me that there is only one umbrella? I can pick you up with an umbrella."

Gu Rong looked down at the road splashed with rain, but didn't speak.

Zhuang Shaoqi moved the umbrella to Gu Rong's side: "I already said that I knew I was wrong, how long are you going to be angry! You can't keep ignoring me, right?"

Gu Rong slowly raised his head, his voice was calm and heavy: "Then what do you say is your mistake?"

"Does it matter?"

Gu Rong stopped suddenly, and his emotionless eyes swept over Zhuang Shaoqi's shoulders flatly: "It's very important to me. I can't be friends with a selfish person, let alone talk about other relationships."

"..." Zhuang Shaoqi lowered his head and stared at the ground, unable to see his expression clearly.

Gu Rong waited on the spot for a while, seeing that Zhuang Shaoqi had no intention of admitting it, he said in a deep voice, "Thank you for picking up my daughter today, you can go back."

Zhuang Shaoqi opened his eyes wide, his expression was very similar to that of a kitten when he was wronged: "It's raining heavily now, and the driver of my car has already left. Are you driving me back?"

"There is a taxi service."

"What about tomorrow? We promised Kiara to go to the zoo, Brother Rong, do you want to keep your promise?"

"I'll take her there, and she can choose not to go if she doesn't want to."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qianqian heard her father's words at the door of the building, dropped the small schoolbag on her back, and ran out of the building angrily and grievances.

After Gu Rong and Zhuang Shaoqi came to their senses, they immediately chased after them, but Gu Qianqian had already hid in the gap between the short bushes, and the gap was so small that only a child's body could be accommodated.

Gu Rong stood outside, the cold rain splashing on his face.The umbrella couldn't reach Gu Qianqian's hiding place at all, and he became anxious, and his tone became severe: "Gu Qianqian, come out for me!"

"I'm not going out, I'm not going out! You are a big liar!"

"Okay, that's what you said, so don't come out! I'll tell you Gu Qianqian, there are poisonous snakes in the grass!"

A few cries came from the bushes, Gu Rong wanted to say more, but his arm was pulled, Zhuang Shaoqi looked at him funny: "You are so old, why are you still fighting with children?"

"Nonsense, which eye of yours saw that I was making a fuss!" Gu Rong's face turned green and pale, Gu Qianqian was enough to worry her, and Zhuang Shaoqi was still laughing at him.

The cries in the grass became more and more intense, Zhuang Shaoqi grabbed Gu Rong's hand, gave him a look of "rest assured", then squatted on the ground where the rain was falling, and looked at each other at the wall and the bushes The innermost girl at the junction of the plexus.

Zhuang Shaoqi lowered his voice and said to Gu Qianqian: "What your father said is true. There are many ants, spiders, and centipedes in the grass...and many bad guys will come out to kidnap children in Daheitian."

Gu Qianqian pretended to be calm and said: "You, you are trying to scare me."

Zhuang Shaoqi rolled up his sleeves, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and used the flashlight that came with the mobile phone to shine on the tattoo on his arm: "Did you see the scar on it? It was left by the kidnappers when I was young."

Gu Qianqian didn't know what the tattoo was, and didn't know if she was shocked. The crying stopped abruptly, and Zhuang Shaoqi took the opportunity to continue coaxing: "Quickly be obedient, I will take you to the zoo tomorrow."

Gu Rong looked at Zhuang Shaoqi, who was drenched by the rain, half kneeling on the ground, unconsciously clenched the umbrella in his hand, and hit Zhuang Shaoqi on top.

Zhuang Shaoqi's words really worked. The figures in the bushes swayed, and with the sound of twisting branches, Gu Qianqian quickly jumped out of it, and kicked on Zhuang Shaoqi's body with muddy hands and feet: " I want to go home! Brother Zhuang, I don’t want to be kidnapped by bad guys..."

Gu Rong exhaled, looked at the muddy footprints on Zhuang Shaoqi's khaki coat, and looked at the somewhat pale face in the darkness.He vaguely remembered a kidnapping case of the youngest son of a wealthy family in Hong Kong more than ten years ago, but his memory was blurred because it was too long ago. Now that Zhuang Hongben has lived in Hong Kong for a long time, Zhuang Shaoqi is also very likely...

When they took Qianqian back home, the nanny had already put hot water in advance. Zhuang Shaoqi handed the girl in his arms to the nanny and looked deeply at Gu Rong: "I want to stay."

Water droplets flowed from Zhuang Shaoqi's wet hair to the sides of his face. Gu Rong met those pitiful eyes, and said before his thoughts began to flow: "You should live in the guest room."

Zhuang Shaoqi squeezed into the room as if he was afraid that he would regret it, wrapped his hands around Gu Rong's waist, and hugged him tightly in his arms.Gu Rong's heart tightened suddenly, and the familiar smell of the hug made both of them nostalgic, so they hugged for a longer time unconsciously.

Gu Rong recovered from the sweetness that paralyzed his senses, and suddenly remembered something: "Have you been kidnapped?"

Zhuang Shaoqi let go of him, and smiled lightly: "If I say yes, will Brother Rong sympathize with me and forgive me?"

"No, those are two different things."

Zhuang Shaoqi took off his coat in disappointment, and walked into Gu Rong's bedroom familiarly: "Okay, I made it up just now. It's just a tattoo, to deceive the little girl."

When Gu Rong entered, Zhuang Shaoqi had almost taken off his clothes. Seeing him coming in, he wanted to make trouble to take off his clothes.

Gu Rong grabbed his fidgeting hand: "Zhuang Shaoqi, I let you live in a guest room, not mine."

Zhuang Shaoqi took off the last layer of underpants to cover up, and acted like a baby to him naked: "There is no bathroom in the guest room, I want to take a shower here."

Gu Rong turned around, avoiding Zhuang Shaoqi's sight: "Go and wash, don't touch my clothes."

Zhuang Shaoqi smiled mischievously: "Are you really not coming?"

"Not coming!"

"Brother Narong, don't regret peeking!"

He won't peek at it, it's just a body, what's so interesting about it.

The sound of water soon came from the bathroom, Zhuang Shaoqi deliberately did not close the door of the bathroom, his naked body skillfully hit the glass mirror of the bathroom, and he could see clearly from outside the bathroom .

Gu Rong hung the clothes that Zhuang Shaoqi took off on the hanger, sat on the sofa and looked for a magazine, ignoring Zhuang Shaoqi's provocative posture in the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water stopped after a while, and Zhuang Shaoqi walked out of the bathroom without even wrapping up in a bath towel.

Gu Rong raised his head subconsciously, facing a pair of affectionate eyes.After a moment of distraction, Gu Rong felt a shadow covering him.Zhuang Shaoqi supported the glass window behind Gu Rong, and looked at him amusedly: "Honey, do you always read magazines upside down?"
