Goldberg Variations

Once a person has concerns, he will be greedy for life and will be attached to the world.

Pei Wen couldn't bear to bear Gu Kai, nor could he bear Gu Kai being sad.

Now every time he gets sick, if he wants to commit suicide again, as long as he thinks of Gu Kai, he will have infinite courage.

Persevere a little longer, it will be for Gu Kai.

He will be fine.

These days, Gu Kai never forced him to do anything, he would lie down when he wanted to, and if he wanted to go out to relax, Gu Kai would accompany him for a walk, and if he wanted to water the flowers, Gu Kai would hand him the water bottle.

If he doesn't want to see Gu Kai, Gu Kai will leave space and time to him alone.

Gu Kai gave him all the tenderness and patience in his life, he didn't say much, he didn't do much, just be patient and tolerant.

Thinking of this, Pei Wen couldn't help raising his head slightly, staring at Gu Kai's face through the starlight and moonlight, he saw himself reflected in Gu Kai's eyes.

"I want to kiss." Pei Wen said.

This was probably the first time that Pei Wen expressed such a wish to Gu Kai.

Gu Kai smiled slightly, lowered his head, and kissed Pei Wen's soft lips.

"So nice."

At the end of summer, Pei Wen's medicine was almost finished, and the two of them went back to check up and take the medicine according to the doctor's order.

Leave enough rations and water for Bach and Hugo, and the two returned to Jiangzhou Psychiatric Hospital for examination.

After reexamination, the doctor found that Pei Wen's condition had improved a lot.

"Keep it up, and your illness will be cured." The doctor smiled and picked up the pen, "I'll prescribe another medicine for you, so you won't take the previous medicine."

"However," the doctor looked up at Gu Kai again, and said, "Even if the disease is cured, it is likely to recur again."

"As family members, you should take care of yourself and don't take it lightly."

"Thank you doctor, I will."

After prescribing the medicine, the doctor capped the pen, handed them the list, and said, "Also, heart disease needs heart medicine. Just taking this medicine is useless, and the root cause of the heart disease must be solved."

Gu Kai glanced at Pei Wen.

Pei Wen's heart disease should be the incident with his mother that year.

The experience of being sent to that kind of "hospital" for "treatment" was hard to forget, and the rift with my mother was also difficult to mend.

However, after four years, Pei Wen told others about that incident for the first time, which also meant that he began to face the past directly.

Gu Kai hoped that he could accompany Pei Wen and walk out slowly.

But Gu Kai couldn't intervene too much in the knot between their mother and son, they needed to untie it by themselves.

After the examination and taking the medicine, the two of them just walked out of the specialized hospital when they saw a familiar woman standing outside the hospital waiting for them.

It was Pei Wen's mother, Pei Xiuzhen.

Pei Xiuzhen was wearing a skirt that reached to her calf, and was carrying a small black leather bag in her hand.

Seeing the two people coming out, she smiled and waved, and trotted over, first said hello to Gu Kai, then asked Pei Wen cautiously:

"what did the doctor say?"

These days, they had occasional contact. Pei Xiuzhen was really frightened by Yu Shuangshuang's behavior.

Now he is as careful as possible in his attitude towards Pei Wen, for fear of irritating him.

Apart from asking about his health, Pei Xiuzhen didn't say anything else, and didn't mention asking him to go home to work, or his relationship with Gu Kai.

"Well, it's better." Pei Wen still didn't know how to get along with his mother, and his expression was calm.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Pei Xiuzhen looked at Gu Kai with some embarrassment, and thanked him uncomfortably: "Well, thank you for taking care of Pei Wen."

"Sure, you're welcome." Gu Kai smiled.

You're really welcome - isn't it natural for him to take care of his boyfriend?

Pei Xiuzhen wiped her hands on the corner of her clothes, and asked Pei Wen, "Would you like to have a meal with mom? The last time we ate together was before you went to Lianhua Town."

"I have booked a restaurant, it must be to your taste."

Pei Wen glanced at Gu Kai.

He did tell Pei Xiuzhen that he would have a reexamination today, but he didn't say where or when.

Pei Xiuzhen was able to find her, and even booked a restaurant, obviously Gu Kai tipped the news.

Gu Kai blinked innocently.

He doesn't interfere with how the two of them get along, he just wants to create more opportunities for them to get along.

Gu Kai would not force Pei Wen to forgive Pei Xiuzhen, but simply hoped that Pei Wen would untie his knot, which was what he had to do to recover his health.

"Is it okay?" Seeing that Pei Wen didn't answer, Pei Xiuzhen asked.

"...Well, okay." Pei Wen said.

I drove from Lianhua Town to Jiangzhou, and after seeing the doctor, it happened to be lunch time.

After eating, they can go home.

"Hey, good." Pei Xiuzhen smiled, "This way, I'll lead the way, you follow me."

"Let's go." Gu Kai held the medicine he just bought with his right hand, held Pei Wen's hand with his left, and led him to follow Pei Xiuzhen.

This is a Chinese restaurant with a nice environment, quiet and intimate.

When the waiter led them in, he smiled and praised Pei Xiuzhen: "Madam, you really know how to give birth. Both sons are so handsome."

Pei Xiuzhen glanced at Gu Kai, only smiled at the waiter, without explaining anything.

"Please order." Entering the box, the waiter handed the menu to Pei Xiuzhen.

"You guys order." Pei Xiuzhen handed over the menu.

Pei Wen looked at Gu Kai, Gu Kai picked up the menu and flipped through it, ordered a few dishes, and then asked Pei Xiuzhen:

"Auntie, what would you like to drink?"

Aunt?Only then did the waiter realize that he had made a mistake.

"Water." Pei Xiuzhen said, then smiled at Gu Kai, "If you want, you can call me Mom."

At first, because of Pei Wen's face, she had to pinch her nose and admit to Gu Kai, but now she took the initiative.

In the past few years when Pei Wen was not around, she also recalled the past countless times.

She will be 50 years old soon, and she never remarried after the divorce, and put all her thoughts on her son.

But in the end, her son also left her.

In the past few years, she faced the huge home alone, and when she felt lonely and regretted, she even felt in her heart that it was not a "home", but an ordinary house.

It's just that she was born with a stubborn temper, stubborn, and refused to admit that she was wrong.

Hearing the waiter's words, she suddenly felt relieved.

Six years.

She has been struggling with this matter for six years since she knew her son's orientation.

Now it seems that the son is gay, so what if he can't marry a woman, doesn't she have another son now?And so good.

...The premise is that Pei Wen is still willing to admit her words.

Gu Kai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Pei Wen. Pei Wen was obviously also surprised and didn't express his opinion.

Gu Kai suddenly became inexplicably nervous, pursed his lips, and couldn't scream.

It's not that I don't want to, but I'm a little embarrassed.

In the end, he nodded with a smile and called:

"mom."

Good guy, he recognized his mother-in-law so suddenly, isn't he too hasty?

Pei Xiuzhen smiled and agreed.

The waiter looked at this, then at that, seeing that Pei Wenwen and Pei Xiuzhen looked alike, but the relationship between Gu Kai and Pei Wen...?

God, what did she witness just now?

"That," Gu Kai was so nervous that his mind was a little confused, "do you want to order anything else?"

"No need." Pei Xiuzhen shook her head with a smile, and suddenly felt that this daughter-in-law—or son-in-law, looked more and more pleasing to the eye.

She had achieved that level back then, but she still couldn't change anything, why not relax, Pei Xiuzhen thought helplessly.

The three of them ate at the same table, and Pei Xiuzhen noticed that his son's eyes had been focusing on Gu Kai intentionally or unintentionally.

The same is true for Gu Kai, who cared for Pei Wen so much that even his own mother was ashamed.

Gu Kai can consider many details that she never cared about for Pei Wen.

Now that it was over, what more could she say?

After dinner, the two headed home.

On the way, Gu Kai was driving the car, saw Pei Wen staring out the window in a daze through the rearview mirror, and said unexpectedly:

"I haven't taken you to meet my family yet."

"Huh?" Pei Wen immediately recovered.

Gu Kai said: "I call your mother mother, you haven't met my family yet, it's not okay."

"I'll ask them when they are free and take you to meet them."

"Wait...wait a while!" Pei Wen said hastily, "Don't be so anxious."

"Are you in a hurry?" Gu Kai smiled.

Pei Wen grabbed the seat belt, lowered his head and said, "...I'm not ready yet."

"You can start preparing now." Gu Kai smiled.

"..." Pei Wen stared at his toes, hesitated for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Then, when are you going?"

"Let me ask."

After returning home, Gu Kai drove the car into the garage, locked the door, and just opened the door, Bach and Hugo came out to greet him.

Pei Wen put the meat bought for Hugo and the fish bought for Bach into their bowls respectively, and the two kids ran to eat them immediately, ignoring Gu Kai.

"Tsk." Gu Kai shook his head, "Little thing without a conscience."

Then he collapsed on the sofa and dialed his mother's phone.

"Son, what's the matter?" Gu's mother didn't know where she was, but the wind was blowing fiercely over there.

The noise was so loud that Gu Kai could hardly hear her voice clearly.

"Where are you?" Gu Kai asked.

"At the beach, I'm traveling with your dad!" Gu's mother said loudly, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, I don't have time to chat with you, so just hang up if you have nothing to do!"

"..." Gu Kai: "When are you coming back?"

Parents are always like this, Gu Kai is used to it.

Gu's mother: "It will take ten days and half a month!"

Gu Kai said calmly: "Oh, come back to see your daughter-in-law in half a month."

"What?!" Mother Gu said loudly.

Gu Kai thought she didn't hear clearly, and repeated: "I said half a month later..."

"No, I mean, daughter-in-law???"

Gu's mother was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately ran all the way, found a place with little wind, and asked, "Is that the one you told me about last time, Xiao Pei?"

"Yes." Gu Kai said.

Mother Gu said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow!"

"..." Gu Kai turned his head to look at Pei Wen, only to see Pei Wen shaking his head in panic.

Gu Kai smiled and said: "No, your daughter-in-law is shy and timid, see you in half a month."

Hearing the phrase "daughter-in-law", Pei Wen glared at Gu Kai.

Gu's mother sighed regretfully: "Okay, in half a month, we will go to Lianhua Town to find you?"

Gu Kai smiled: "Of course we are going to visit."

"Alright," Gu's mother said, "then you have to come quickly! Don't dawdle, dawdle! I'm so anxious!"

Gu Kai smiled and nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Kai turned his head to look at Pei Wen: "Half a month later, okay? It's enough for you to build up your mind."

Pei Wen raised his foot and kicked him: "What daughter-in-law, I was going to see my mother-in-law."

Gu Kai took advantage of the situation and grabbed his feet, without arguing with him, he pushed him onto the sofa and kissed him.

Just as he was about to prostitute himself in the daytime, his cell phone rang.

Gu Kai didn't want to answer it at first, but Pei Wen pushed him: "Call."

Gu Kai picked up the phone and looked at it. Wan Ying was worried about urgent work, so he had no choice but to connect:

"What's the matter with you? If there is nothing important, your bonus for this month will be gone."

"..." Wan Ying was speechless for two seconds, not knowing where she had offended the leader.

"Say it!"

"Oh!" Wan Ying thought about the business and said, "It's not good, boss, Shi Yangming is going to be abducted by Shuangshuang!"

"As soon as he leaves, I'm the only one left in the store!"

"I can't do it alone!"

Gu Kai squeezed the space between his brows, let out a mouthful of foul air, and wondered if Yu Shuangshuang was at odds with him?

"Why, are they going to elope?" Gu Kai asked.

"Almost." Wan Ying said.

Gu Kai: "I don't know how to beat mandarin ducks, why did they elope?"

"This..." Wan Ying said, "Hey, she's here, you can talk about it yourself."

Wan Ying said a few words on the other end of the phone, and immediately another voice came from the receiver:

"Hello, Gu Kai?"

Without waiting for Gu Kai to speak, she said to herself, "Lend me your little clerk for a few days."

Gu Kai: "Why?"

"Help me carry the equipment." Yu Shuangshuang said, "You know, our equipment is very heavy. I am a weak girl, and it is difficult to carry it. I need the help of a strong man like him."

Gu Kai said with a smile: "Think about it, I don't have time to visit the store now, if he leaves with you, I have to recruit another person, and there will be no place for him in the store from now on."

Yu Shuangshuang: "What is that? My sister, I will raise him, and I have plenty of money. If you want to say that, it's easy to handle. I'll just pry him away and go to my studio. You can recruit people yourself."

"..." Gu Kai: "No way!"

Is it easy for his broken shop to recruit someone?

Yu Shuangshuang couldn't stop laughing: "Can I borrow it?"

Gu Kai looked at Pei Wen and sighed, "Why did you borrow him?"

"That's right," Yu Shuangshuang was a little shy, "Take him to meet my grandpa."

"My grandfather is not in Jiangzhou, but in other provinces. There is definitely not enough time to go back and forth every day."

"You don't have weekends in this broken shop, what can I do?"

Gu Kai smiled: "Okay, you can borrow it. I will grant him three days off."

Gu Kai thought to himself, this girl is developing very fast, but thinking about himself and Pei Wen, it seems that there is not much difference.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Kai tilted his head and leaned on Pei Wen's shoulder, rubbing his neck: "I have to go back to the store in two days. Are you here, or should I go back to Jiangzhou with me?"

Having been together day and night for so long, they are already very familiar with each other, but every time they get close to each other and look into each other's eyes, they still feel emotional.

Gu Kai couldn't help but wanted to kiss him, so he leaned forward, squeezed everyone into the corner of the sofa, and then kissed his cheek and nose.

"We're all gone, what about Bach and Hugo?" Pei Wen asked the person looking at him.

"Leave enough food and water for them, just for two or three days, and they'll be fine by themselves."

The two-story bungalow has enough space for activities.

Pei Wen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

He is very dependent on Gu Kai, in fact, from very early on, he always wanted to cling to Gu Kai.

However, now he can do so.

Not only now, but also in the future.

They can always be together.

"Hmm." Gu Kai stroked Pei Wen's hair, lowered his head to his forehead, nose to nose, and said with a smile, "Then shall we continue with what we just did?"

"What's the matter?" Pei Wen didn't realize it for a while.

"Of course it's business." Gu Kai lifted the corner of Pei Wen's clothes.

The afternoon sun in late summer is no longer as blazing as in midsummer, and the yellow halo sprinkles the ground.

The yellow wood fragrance outside the window has already pulled out its branches and climbed up the iron fence and the wall. It is estimated that they will be able to see it bloom next year.

Some of the various flowers planted on the side of the yard have already bloomed.Some are just a seedling.

Gu Kai also transplanted a ginkgo tree from another place and planted it next to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.The emerald green leaves rustled in the wind.

In autumn, the leaves will turn golden yellow and fall all over the ground.

Gu Kai wants to turn their home into a garden where flowers bloom in all seasons and the house is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

An independent courtyard, loved ones, a cat and two dogs.

It's not a day to be a fairy.

The author has something to say: This article is officially over!Today is the thickest and longest one ever, and it's finally over!Hahahahaha, I hope you all like this ending.

Gu Kai will accompany Pei Wen to treat illnesses, and Pei Wen will gradually recover. They will live in a garden full of flowers, cats and dogs, ah, I am so sour!It's my life ideal!
