When the abusive male protagonist wakes up
Chapter 43 Birthday Present
When Tao An heard Gu Haoxing's words, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
It turns out that Haoxing went home to get clothes.
"What are you doing in a daze, go and help me find it." Gu Haoxing saw Tao An standing still, looking dumb and stupid like that, couldn't help urging: "How long will you procrastinate?"
Tao An nodded slightly, he put down the lighter in his hand, turned around and went upstairs, because his stomach was too big and it was inconvenient, so he had to hold the stairs to go up the stairs, just like a child learning to walk.
After finally finding Gu Haoxing's coat, Tao An carried the clothes downstairs and saw Gu Haoxing's expression became a little weird, "Today is your birthday?"
Tao An clenched his hands holding the coat tightly, and hummed lightly.
Gu Haoxing even forgot that today is Tao An's birthday, so he blamed Tao An with guilt, and blamed him, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
He was so busy every day, how could he remember Tao An's birthday.
Tao An shook his head silently, "It's okay, it's the same if I live alone."
Hao Xing even forgot his birthday, and it was annoying if he called to remind him.
And in the future, he will celebrate his birthday alone, so he should get used to it in advance.
Tao An handed the coat to Gu Haoxing, and said softly, "Haoxing, your clothes."
Gu Haoxing took the coat casually, and watched Tao An spend his birthday alone in the empty villa. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel guilty. If he hadn't just returned home to pick up his clothes, he didn't know that Tao An was going to pass in such a vague way. .
"You plan to celebrate your birthday like this? Isn't it too shabby?"
Tao An pursed his lips, staring absently at the carpet under his feet, "It's good, I can't eat that much by myself."
Tao An remembered the first year he and Hao Xing met, Hao Xing celebrated his birthday on the yacht, the two sat on the deck and enjoyed a candlelight dinner, and the fireworks on the sea were bright, that was Tao An's birthday that he will never forget in his life.
But there will never be any more.
Hao Xing fell in love with Tang Li, and the tenderness will only be given to another person in the future, and will never belong to him again.
The tip of Tao An's nose felt a little sore, and his heart ached. He lowered his head lower and lower, not wanting Gu Haoxing to see that his eye circles were red.
"What kind of birthday is this?" Gu Haoxing couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't want to stay at home with Tao An to celebrate such a shabby birthday, so he held Tao An's hand and said, "Go, I'll take you out to eat."
Tao An shook his head, backing away with persistence, "No need, just live at home..."
Gu Haoxing wanted to say something at first, but inadvertently his eyes fell on Tao An's pregnant belly, which was clumsy even when he walked. After thinking about it, it was true. Tao An's belly is so big, it would be embarrassing for him to take it out. He didn't want others to look at him like a freak. look at him.
Only then did Gu Haoxing give up the idea of going out, thought for a while and said, "Then go and cook a few dishes, I'll celebrate your birthday with you at home."
Tao An raised his head stiffly, his vision blurred. After confirming that he had heard correctly, he smiled palely, turned around and went into the kitchen to work.
Think of it as Hao Xing's last birthday with him.
Tao An cooked a few dishes with the leftover ingredients in the refrigerator. The two sat around the dining table and lit a candle with the inferior lighter Tao An bought at a convenience store.
Tao An looked at the small and even shabby birthday cake in front of him, and whispered, "Hao Xing, can you sing me a birthday song?"
Gu Haoxing was very resistant in his heart. In his opinion, it was too stupid to do this kind of fact, he was more naive than a primary school student, but he forgot that he did this kind of thing when he celebrated Tao An's birthday in the first year, and fell in love with someone. Always willing to do anything for the other party, until the day when you don't love, any humble request will be a burden and burden.
Gu Haoxing said impatiently, "You're still so childish at this age, just blow out the candles."
The candles in front of him were blurred into hazy circles of light. Because the light was too dark, Gu Haoxing didn't notice that the corners of Tao An's eyes had turned red. He closed his eyes and silently made a wish in his heart: hope The baby was born safely and smoothly.
After making his wish, Tao An opened his eyes and blew out the candle.
Gu Haoxing turned on the light, and the two of them cut the cake and had dinner together.
This was the first time that Gu Haoxing moved out and the two had dinner together. The previous few times Gu Haoxing went home to do that kind of thing with Tao An. It had been a long time since they sat down to eat dinner together in such a peaceful manner.
Tao An thought to himself, it would be great if they could stay in this moment forever, without cheating or verbal insults, they would live a happy and ordinary life just like ordinary couples.
But Tao An knew that when Haoxing walked out of this door tonight, all these good things would disappear again.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Haoxing squinted his eyes and stared at Tao An. When the two of them had dinner, Tao An would always find various topics to chat with him, but now he seemed to be getting more and more silent, which made Gu Haoxing very uncomfortable. , he said displeasedly: "Are you unhappy when I come back? Why are you always in a daze?"
Tao An raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like he was crying. He cut a piece of cake and put it in front of Gu Haoxing, "Haoxing, try this cake, they say it's delicious."
Gu Haoxing didn't like sweets, but under Tao An's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no, so he had to take a mouthful. Although the taste wasn't bad, he knew that the butter was of poor quality, and he used the cheapest one. kind of material.
In the past, Gu Haoxing would not even take a bite.
"It's unpalatable. Next time you spend more money to buy a more expensive cake, the dog won't eat it." Gu Haoxing put down the paper plate in his hand after taking a bite, and said casually.
Hearing the word "next time", Tao An's body froze. He thought sadly in his heart, how could there be a next time?
Gu Haoxing had already had dinner with Tang Li, so he didn't taste Tao An's food, so he couldn't wait to drag Tao An to do that kind of thing.
In the middle of the process, Gu Haoxing's cell phone rang suddenly.
Gu Haoxing's mood dropped to a freezing point when his interest was interrupted halfway. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was Tang Li's call.
If he wanted to answer the phone, he would have to stop what he was doing now. Gu Haoxing was still in high spirits, so of course he didn't want to stop because of a phone call.
Gu Haoxing pretended not to see it, thinking that Tang Li would give up automatically if he didn't answer the phone, but after the ringtone automatically hung up, it rang again within a few seconds, echoing in this ambiguous house.
Gu Haoxing's brows were almost twisted into a knot. Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only pick it up. He didn't think too much, and lowered his head to tell Tao An under him: "Don't make any noise, do you understand?"
Tao An's expression froze, as if a heart covered in bruises had fallen heavily from a height and was torn apart.
Seeing Tao An's absent-minded appearance, the phone kept ringing again. Gu Haoxing worried that Tang Li would become suspicious if he didn't answer the phone for too long, so he simply pressed his head into the pillow and warned viciously: "If Tang Li hears the voice, I will tell you It's not over."
Tao An closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling violently like flying insects lost in a storm, and the faint sobs were choked in his throat.
Gu Haoxing confirmed that Tao An didn't make any sound, and then he answered the phone with confidence, his tone became extremely gentle, "Tang Li, what's wrong?"
"I'm working overtime in the company, don't wait for me, you go to bed first."
"Of course, I miss you too." Gu Haoxing said without changing his expression while moving, "I will go back as soon as possible. Do you want to have some supper? I'll ask Xiao Jiang to send it to you."
Hearing Gu Haoxing's gentle tone, Tao An's tears silently rolled down the corners of his eyes, soaking the pillow in front of him. His husband was doing that kind of thing with him, but he was on the phone with Xiaosan, talking the most touching love words in the world.
What is he in Haoxing's heart?
After finally dismissing Tang Li, Gu Haoxing hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and was finally able to devote himself wholeheartedly to the affair. He did not see the tears of despair on Tao An's face, and vented all the exhaustion after working in the company today on Tao An body.
After fully venting his desire, Gu Haoxing took off his coat and left in a relaxed state of mind. Tao An lay on the sofa like a rag, and sobs rang intermittently in the quiet villa.
The night was too tiring, and when Tao An opened his eyes again, it was already dawn outside, he braced his exhausted body to clean up the dining table, and all the unfinished meals and cakes went into the trash can.
Those who shouldn't be nostalgic, just like his marriage with Haoxing, have expired, and no matter how much they try to preserve the quality, it will be futile.
While Tao An was cleaning up the house, Gu Haoxing drove to the company, and the secretary brought him coffee. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Haoxing called to her, "Wait."
"Mr. Gu, do you have any other orders?"
Gu Haoxing pondered for a moment, "You go and help me choose a birthday present, just the men's watch of the brand I often wear, centimeters, and deliver it to the office after you buy it."
The occasional sweetness is still to be given, lest Tao An do the same thing of running away because of being sad.
"Okay." The secretary reached out to take Gu Haoxing's card and left the office.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, the secretary came to a nearby high-end shopping mall, intending to choose gifts here.
Just when the secretary took a picture and sent it to his boss for selection, a familiar voice came from behind, "Secretary Tong?"
Secretary Tong turned around when she heard the voice, and said in surprise, "Mr. Tang, why are you here?"
"I'm here for shopping. I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence." Tang Li smiled, his eyes fell on Secretary Tong's hand, and he found that she was holding a men's watch in her hand, and asked curiously: "Are you looking for a watch? I bought it for you." Husband?"
Secretary Tong smiled and said, "How could I afford such an expensive watch? Mr. Gu bought it for you."
"Give it to me?" Tang Li pointed to himself with a little surprise on his face.
Why did Hao Xing give him a gift after being so good?
Everyone in the company knows that Tang Li is Gu Haoxing's new favorite, and Secretary Tong also helped buy a lot of gifts for him. Naturally, they misunderstood that this gift was for Tang Li, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Gu said he bought it. A birthday present for you, he didn't have time to come to the mall, so he asked me to do it for him."
Tang Li was a little embarrassed, "My presents are piled up everywhere, why did he give them again?"
Saying this on the mouth, but the sweetness on the face can't be concealed, and the smile can't stop rising.
It must be Haoxing planning to give him a surprise, although there doesn't seem to be any important festivals recently.
"Exactly, Mr. Tang, you happen to be here, so let's try to see if the size fits." Secretary Tong said, "By the way, centimeters, right?"
Tang Li stretched out his hand to test the watch, but the next second he heard this, his body froze.
It's not the size of his hand at all.
Tang Li realized later, the secretary just said that Hao Xing asked her to choose a birthday gift, but his birthday has passed long ago, so who is this watch for?
When Tang Li was stunned, Secretary Tong had already put the watch on his hand, and it tightened a circle.
Secretary Tong still felt strange, "Hey, why are you so young?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Tang Li's mind, and his teeth creaked suddenly.
Such a thin wrist can only belong to Tao An.
Recalling the strangeness on the phone when Gu Haoxing answered his call yesterday, Tang Li could vaguely hear a strange voice, Tang Li's face suddenly paled, guessing that Gu Haoxing must have returned home yesterday to celebrate Tao An's birthday, but he didn't tell Own.
Hearing that Secretary Tong asked the clerk to change the watch strap, Tang Li's thoughts suddenly returned to the display, he pressed Secretary Tong's hand, forced a smile and said: "It's okay, there is no need to change it, I deliberately asked Haoxing to buy the small one, I haven't gotten a little fat lately, it's just right to wear it when I lose weight."
Secretary Tong hesitated, "Is there really no need to change?"
"It's really not necessary, I will tell him about Haoxing, don't worry."
An unclear light flashed in Tang Li's eyes, he took the watch from Secretary Tong, and said with a smile: "Since it is a gift bought by Haoxing, you can just give it to me, and it will save you a trip .”
It turns out that Haoxing went home to get clothes.
"What are you doing in a daze, go and help me find it." Gu Haoxing saw Tao An standing still, looking dumb and stupid like that, couldn't help urging: "How long will you procrastinate?"
Tao An nodded slightly, he put down the lighter in his hand, turned around and went upstairs, because his stomach was too big and it was inconvenient, so he had to hold the stairs to go up the stairs, just like a child learning to walk.
