Difficult round

On the way home from get off work on Monday, Gu Yan met Shen Qi. His car was rear-ended by a big Benz. The car was seriously damaged. Fortunately, he was fine, but there was a scrape on his forehead, probably from the steering wheel.

When Gu Yan passed by, the traffic police and the insurance company were there, Shen Qi stood beside him, his whole face was pale, his eyes flickered when he saw him, as if he wanted to say something, he swallowed it again.

He got out of the car somehow, walked over to check the situation, and when he was about to leave, Shen Qi called his name: "Gu Yan..."

Gu Yan didn't intend to turn around.But I heard someone from the insurance company say: "Mr. Shen, my friend? That's just right. The car needs to be towed for repairs. Why don't you go to the hospital with your friend to treat the injury on your forehead first, and then I will contact you! So what, this gentleman -"

Gu Yan rubbed his brows with a headache, regretting why he meddled in his own business.

"come on."

The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, and when they arrived at the hospital, they lined up for registration, payment, and examination... Shen Qi followed behind Gu Yan, wanted to say something a few times and finally held back. Didn't intend to ask a question.

Nothing to ask.

The results of the examination came out very quickly, and Shen Qi was indeed fine, except for a slight concussion.

After bandaging the wound, he needed to stay in the hospital for observation for half an hour, so Gu Yan went to the convenience store in front of the hospital to buy hot porridge and oden, opened a copy and handed it to Shen Qi:

"Eat something to cushion your stomach first."

Sending the Buddha to the west, even though he didn't like it in his heart, since they have already sent people here, it is impossible to leave the wounded patients alone in the hospital and run away, such a thing cannot be done.

Shen Qi took the hot porridge and ate it slowly: "Thank you." He didn't say anything unnecessary.Gu Yan didn't say anything, and sat in the empty seat next to him to eat his share.

When Gu Yan finished eating, Shen Qi's bowl of porridge was still full, and his face was paler than when he was at the accident scene. Gu Yan suspected that he was unwell, so he asked him:

"What's the matter, is there any discomfort, do you want to vomit?"

This was taken care of by the doctor during the examination just now, the concussion may make Shen Qi feel sick, if it is serious, he has to go to the doctor again.That's why they stayed in the observation room.

Shen Qi didn't raise his head, but still lowered his eyes halfway, holding the plastic spoon and stirring the porridge on his knees: "No."

The bowl of porridge was still steaming hot when I first bought it, and it burned my tongue when I ate it, but now it has completely cooled down, sticking into lumps.

Gu Yan suddenly remembered the accident that happened when he and his friend raced a few years ago.

During that time, it rained continuously for more than half a month in City A. Although it was released the day before the competition, the winding mountain road was still wet. His car slipped when he made a sharp turn, and he almost lost his car. He rushed down the mountain, fell into a car and crashed.

In that game, Gu Yan still won the ranking in the end, No.3, and the whole audience was excited. The electronic screen in the viewing area played back the exciting moments of the game, and Gu Yan’s thrilling PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was played again. again.

The friends yelled and whistled to throw Gu Yan high and hold him firmly.

Everyone said he was a natural for racing.

Only Shen Qi.Only Shen Qi sat alone in the viewing area, with a pale face, and glanced at him through the cheering crowd, it was a very cold look, and it was full of fear and fear.

That was Shen Qi's first time watching a game with Gu Yan, and it was also the last time. ——After that, Gu Yan never touched a racing car again.

That night, Shen Xi didn't say a word to Gu Yan, even if Gu Yan pressed him on the bed and tossed him over and over again, forcing him to ask for mercy, he didn't say a word.

Then he suddenly hugged Gu Yan's arm and cried, he cried so sadly that Gu Yan's thing was still swollen and painful in his body, but he didn't have the nerve to move it again.

She could only hug Shen Xi who was crying into tears and softly coax him, and it took more than half an hour to coax him well. In her dream, she was still sobbing uncomfortably, her hands were clutching Gu Yan's collar and refused to let go.

After that, Shen Qi had a lot of doubts about driving.At that time, when they were about to graduate from senior year, Gu Yan planned to use their savings to buy a car so that commuting to and from get off work would be convenient, but Shen Qi refused.

He didn't drive himself, and he didn't let Gu Yan drive. Even when he was walking on the road and saw the car approaching from a distance, he would push Gu Yan to the side and stand on the side close to the road.It wasn't until half a year later that the situation gradually improved, and their family bought their first car.

This little detail hidden in the memory was turned up by Gu Yan, he thought that Shen Qi also liked him a little bit, at least the nervousness and worries at that time were not all fake.

Otherwise, Shen Qi's acting skills would be too superb.

He also thought that maybe today's rear-end chase made Shen Qi recall the scene when he almost fell off the cliff, and also recalled himself who was like a frightened bird, that's why he had such a big reaction.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan's heart inevitably softened: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

This was the first time he spoke to Shen Qi in a mild tone after the two broke up, and he was not used to it.

But obviously every day before that, he treated Shen Qi with a gentler attitude than this, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong or awkward.

Then he saw Shen Xi's shoulders trembling, and then he raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were very red: "Yes."

After answering this sound, two lines of tears fell down immediately, dripping into the porridge bowl, mixed with the sticky rice porridge, and disappeared.

Taking one step back and one step back, Gu Yan's heart softened for a moment, and then there was a second blow immediately.

He thought that even at this moment, he was still so cheap that he couldn't see this person shed tears. His indifferent expression unconsciously loosened a little. He took out the tissue presented by the merchant from his packing bag and handed it to Shen Qi:

"Don't be afraid, it's all right."

He repeated what he had just said, which sounded like perfunctory.

But Gu Yan really didn't know what to say to Shen Qi, he himself was not good at words, and he could only think of two or three words of comfort.

If Tang Yan or any other friend were here today instead of him, they could all give Shen Qi a hug, only he couldn't.

With a soft heart, it is impossible for him to give a hug to a friend like Shen Qi.

There were only two or three paper towels, and they were wiped off in a while, but fortunately, Shen Xi's tears came and went quickly, so Gu Yan didn't have to go to the convenience store to buy paper towels.

Almost half an hour has passed, Shen Qi stood up first, and said to Gu Yan: "Let's go, thank you today." The collapsed emotions have been put away, and the tone has become polite and alienated.

Gu Yan nodded at him, took the unfinished porridge for him, packed it with his own, and threw it into the trash can when passing by the door.

Shen Qi didn't ask Gu Yan to take him back, he took a taxi at the entrance of the hospital, Gu Yan didn't force him, the two said goodbye politely, and then went back to their respective homes.

Shen Qi has always been very careful when driving, and he hasn't even run through a red light in so many years, and the few tickets he has received are nothing more than illegal parking and the like.So when the car hit him today, he was in a daze, and he couldn't believe that he had encountered a rear-end collision.

But compared to this, he couldn't believe that he would meet Gu Yan by such a coincidence.

All the way from the accident scene to the hospital and then to his home, he felt in a daze that it was not real.

The sky was full of thoughts. For a while, it was the violent tremor when the car behind hit it and the momentary dizziness and darkness. For a while, it was Gu Yan's extremely dangerous sudden turn when he was racing on the winding mountain road many years ago.

Memories and reality alternated, he felt as if he was floating in the sky, seeing Gu Yan and himself in two time and space from a third-person perspective.

This trance didn't subside until after taking a hot bath.In fact, the doctor had told him not to take a long bath or shower tonight, but Shen Qi couldn't help it.

It took me a long time to take a shower, and after I got out of the shower, I found a few fucking missed calls on my phone.

Shen Qi called back, and the call was connected quickly, and his mother didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point:

"Xiao Qi, do you have any money there?"

Shen Qi wiped her hair with a dry towel, carefully avoiding the wound: "Mom, it's not the end of the month yet."

The company pays wages at the end of each month, and Shen Qi will transfer a sum of living expenses to his parents on that day.

"I know. Mom is asking how much money you have there. Your dad and I want to buy a new house."

Shocked one after another tonight, Shen Xi felt that his little concussion probably became serious, so he would listen to him.Mom is here dreaming.Where did he get the money to buy them a new house, and his own house is still rented.

he.Mom may also feel that what she said was quite sudden, and then explained:

"Isn't this your cousin who came here today? Your sister bought a house last year, do you remember? She bought another house last month. Your cousin said that she would give us some fruit, but in fact it was To brag."

His distant cousin is just an ordinary white-collar worker. She married a KTV foreman a few years ago and had a child. She just divorced last year.

But she is very capable, bought one house after another, and my cousin bragged in front of relatives and friends how capable her daughter is and how many houses the family has...

Shen Qi's mother got angry from the other party, on the surface she happily followed her cousin to praise, but when she turned around, she had to run in front of Shen Qi and complain, Shen Qi's ears were calloused after listening to it for so many years.

But never has anyone opened his mouth to buy a house like today.It can be seen that this time it was greatly stimulated.

"Your dad and I are thinking about it and we have to earn some face for you. We can't let you be underestimated. What's so great about buying a house? Let's buy it too."

he.Mom said that buying a house is as simple as going to the vegetable market downstairs to buy cabbage, but Shen Xi could only smile wryly at the phone.He is indeed not as capable as his cousin, so let's underestimate him. Anyway, if he is killed, he won't be able to pay that much money.

"I don't have that much money."

he.Mom was a little dissatisfied: "Isn't that toy company of yours very expensive? If it doesn't work, let's change the small one to a bigger one, sell the one we live in now, and add some more money to change it to a bigger one."

Shen Qi wanted to say how could it be so easy.Previously, food, clothing and housing were basically spent on Gu Yan's money. He did save a sum of money, but it was not enough to buy a house.

What's more, he is now renting a house by himself, and the rent, utilities, and oil... don't need any money. The small coffers are rushing out like a flood, and the little money that he finally saved is becoming less and less.Salaries in big cities sound high, and the cost of living is also high.

"Mom, let them say what they say. I don't care, and I really can't afford that much money."

Shen Qi felt a little dizzy, and he didn't know if it was from the hot water in the bath, or the aftereffects of the car crash.Anyway, he wasn't in the mood to deal with him anymore.mom.

After talking about it, I can't afford this house, so why bother to talk about it, it will be uncomfortable for both parties.

he.Mom should have heard that he didn't really want to talk about this topic, muttered a few words unhappily, and then reluctantly ended the call:

"We're not for you, okay, then you go to bed early, I'm going for a walk with your dad."
