[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

It was already late at night.

The night lights were only turned on, and there was a tall tree next to the window on the second floor. Its branches and leaves were luxuriant in summer, and it rustled when the wind blew by.

Gu Ningyuan came out of Shen Yue's room and called Shen Yue first.

The phone is turned off.

Gu Ningyuan leaned halfway on the bookshelf, hung up the phone in his hand, and took a few deep breaths.He finally collected himself, told the driver to drive the car out, and dialed another number.

The bell rang for a long time, and Gu Ningyuan's hand trembled with the frequency of the ring for a long time before being picked up by the other party.

"Yes, is it Uncle Eleven?"

There was still some softness in Gu Wushuang's voice, as if he just got up from the bed.

Gu Ningyuan asked in a low voice, "Where's Shen Yue?"

"Small, uncle? Uncle is here. Uncle said that he is very tired and has fallen asleep. Yes, do you want me to wake him up?"

After all, Gu Wushuang didn't have any experience or talent in lying, and his words were always upside down, and he didn't choose his way. He just lied according to Shen Yue's instructions, and hoped that Gu Ningyuan believed in himself based on his good performance in the past.

If it was normal, Gu Ningyuan would never say that he would wake up Shen Yue who was asleep.

But today is different.

Gu Ningyuan lowered his voice a little, "Then you wake him up, I have something to say to him."

Gu Wushuang: "Ah?!"

In fact, Shen Yue's lie would never have been exposed.He and Gu Wushuang have always been very good, never making mistakes, and Gu Ningyuan also trusts them both.But today, Shen Yue said it was Qixi Festival, he bought a bouquet of roses for the first time, and something was wrong, and he even wrote such a sentence on the candy paper.

At such a time, how can Gu Ningyuan believe that Shen Yue is obediently staying at Gu Wushuang's house, is it possible that he is still talking to Gu Wushuang about his feelings for that "him"?

Gu Ningyuan drove to Gu Wushuang's house.

Gu Wushuang was wearing a pair of pajamas, with his neck shrunk, sad and in pain. He had just been scolded by his parents, and now he was standing pitifully at the door waiting for Gu Ningyuan.

He was terrified.

Gu Ningyuan glanced at him, with a rare indifference, followed him into the house, and Gu Sui and his wife also got up, waiting for him in the house first.When Gu Sui's wife saw Gu Ningyuan, she quickly apologized, "It's all because my Wushuang is ignorant, and they dare to lie to others by doing things blindly."

Gu Ningyuan shook his head, even though his head was full of annoyance, he was still calm, "If Shen Yue hadn't proposed and planned something, Wushuang would not have dared to do it."

He said to the side again: "I'll ask him a few words alone, it won't take long."

Gu Sui and his wife had no choice but to go upstairs, leaving the living room to them.

The room was silent, there was no sound, only a bright fluorescent lamp, the cold and hard light shone on the floor, reflected on the face of the person, and it was all pale and cold.

Gu Ningyuan interrupted the silence, "Then do you know where Shen Yue went? What did you do?"

Gu Wushuang's mouth was tight and loyal, even though he was afraid, he didn't say a word.

After asking for a while, I couldn't utter a word.

"Wushuang, do you think," Gu Ning looked down at Gu Wushuang from afar, "I'm making too much of a fuss?"

"No, no," Gu Wushuang wailed, and quickly denied, "It's all my fault!"

"It's not your fault," Gu Ningyuan pinched his forehead, looked tired, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I overreacted. You know, he got lost when he was a child. Since then, I've been a little scared , I was afraid that he would go out alone, but I couldn’t find him.”

People like Gu Ningyuan should be fearless in the eyes of others.If there was anything to be afraid of, it seemed like it shouldn't be such a small thing.But now he is saying his fear so solemnly, without any falsehood.

Gu Wushuang sat on the sofa beside him, barely daring to make a sound.

Just listen to Gu Ningyuan continue.

"But he has grown up, smart and capable, and he will never find his way back as he did when he was a child. But I still worry about him."

Gu Wushuang thought for a long time, and finally stammered, "Uncle Eleven, I'm sorry, I don't know where my uncle has gone. He only told me that he wanted to hang out with someone he likes, and I don't care about anything else. I no longer know."

Gu Ningyuan heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't expect anything bad. It's just that he didn't listen to Gu Wushuang's words, so he couldn't rest assured.With Shen Yue's ability and character, probably nothing will go wrong.

"You can go to sleep."

Gu Wushuang stood at the stairs, hesitating, but still mustered up the courage to say, "If my uncle knew you were so worried about him, even if he liked that person, he wouldn't go out."

Gu Ningyuan did not respond to him.

In the past, although Gu Ningyuan knew that Shen Yue probably had someone he liked, he still believed it.

He raised Shen Yue, devoted a whole ten years to such a big little one, and didn't dare to relax in the slightest, so he raised him to this day.He always thought that he and Shen Yue were the most important people to each other.

But he saw the note.

Shen Yue said that that person is everything to him.

Gu Ningyuan felt something stuck in his throat. When he saw that sentence, his emotions surged, and he finally understood his mind.But Shen Yue has long fallen in love with others.

He's only 17 years old.Gu Ningyuan was reluctant to let him understand the taste of love. Although love is sweet, it is always difficult to escape sadness.Just like now, Shen Yue was young and frivolous, desperate, and told others that he bought roses and ran away to spend Qixi Festival, but he didn't know if that unknown person liked him or not?

What kind of appearance, what kind of temperament, and what kind of ability does that person have, so that Shen Yue can fall in love with him?

Gu Ningyuan thought a lot, and finally came to a conclusion, and admitted with difficulty that the person was not himself anyway.

Then what else to think about?Don't even think about it.

Gu Ningyuan's shadow was drawn very long, leaning against his back, like two people.

In the middle of the night, it suddenly began to rain outside, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Gu Ningyuan waited all night, it was already dawn, and just about to get up and move around, he heard a knock on the door.

Outside the door was Shen Yue with wet hair.Shen Yue was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, leaning against the door with his head tilted.The hair that looks even more black because of being soaked is on the forehead and glasses. From the corners of the eyes and eyebrows to the corners of the lips, there is no expression at all. The whole person looks like a flower that has just been blown by the wind and rain, but is still in full bloom. Frosty flowers.

Seeing that Gu Ningyuan seemed extremely shocked, he took a step back, thinking that his glasses were scratched, so he couldn't help but want to take them off and wipe them again.

Gu Ningyuan took a step forward, grabbed his hand, and prevented him from stepping back.

Shen Yue's hands are very cold.

"Where do you want to retreat, it's raining outside." Gu Ningyuan didn't sleep all night, his voice was a little lower and hoarse than usual, "Come in."

Only then did Shen Yue finally confirm with fear that his whereabouts last night might have been exposed.

Gu Ningyuan asked Gu Sui's wife for a dry towel, pulled Shen Yue to the sofa in the side hall, and took off his glasses.He parted his hair strand by strand, and then dried it carefully.

While wiping, he asked again: "How much rain did you get outside? Your hands are so cold?"

Shen Yue obediently closed his eyes, allowing Gu Ningyuan to move.His right hand clenched his left hand tightly, hesitating, he didn't know what kind of attitude Gu Ningyuan had now and what he wanted to do.

"I didn't stay for long, I just got out of the car and got caught in the rain for a while."

"Aren't you stupid when you grow up so big?" Gu Ningyuan held back after thinking about it, but still knocked on his head, "Won't you buy an umbrella first, or make a phone call to ask Wushuang to pick you up in advance? ?”

Gu Ningyuan went to twist a hot towel and came back, let Shen Yue wipe his face and hands, and tried the temperature of his palm again.

Then he took Shen Yue to say goodbye to Gu Sui's family, and got into the car with an umbrella.

Gu Wushuang looked as if he wanted to apologize to Shen Yue, but it was a pity that everyone was there, and he dared not speak, so he could only signal with his eyes.However, Shen Yue's thoughts were all on Gu Ningyuan, and he didn't pay attention at all.

The car was driving halfway, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, pattering on the window glass, as if it was also hitting Shen Yue's heart.

Gu Ningyuan's attitude was too calm.

He knew Gu Ningyuan so well that he even had a clear idea of ​​Gu Ningyuan's attitude towards everything.What he committed this time can be said to be a big mistake, and it must have touched Gu Ningyuan's bottom line.

It shouldn't be like this.

Gu Ningyuan paid some attention to the blue color in front of his eyes, and suppressed other words in his mind.He just rubbed his hair, and spoke softly all the time, "Go back and take a shower, sleep, and other things, we still have a long time to talk about."

In fact, he wanted to add that he didn't have a good time last night, but he swallowed it in the end and didn't say anything more.

There is nothing more important than letting Shen Yue have a good rest now.

Shen Yue heard the meaning of Qiu Hou's settlement, and her inner anxiety calmed down.

Maybe it's still the same as before, Gu Ningyuan doesn't know anything, and nothing will change.

Thinking like this, Shen Yue began to think about one lie after another, struggling to pick out the most suitable one, to make up for the consequences of yesterday's impulsiveness.
