no crossing

After being discharged from the hospital, Qian Zijin moved back to Gu Linran's house. He kept Gu Linran's key with him all the time, but the woolen rabbit soaked in blood couldn't return to its original color no matter how much it was washed. up.

Qian Zijin did not return to the criminal police team, and stayed in the police-community relations department. He wanted to wait for Gu Linran to come back, and let Gu Linran know how obedient he is now.

Director Sun mentioned the matter of Gu Linran's "martyr" several times, but each time he was dismissed by Qian Zijin, and the matter of appointing a new captain of the criminal investigation detachment was refuted again and again.

Qian Zijin firmly believed that Gu Linran would definitely come back, but maybe he was injured or delayed by something, but it was only a matter of time before he came back.

Just like this, more than half a month later, the city began a large-scale cleansing operation, many high-ranking officials were arrested, and the major sub-bureaus were also changed. Tang Jing was in charge of this operation, and he was so busy every day that he didn't even bother to call Qian Zijin. Telephone.

Qian Zijin didn't care about these things that had nothing to do with him, and he was in a daze every day. He either forgot to bring his mobile phone or keys to work, and he asked a locksmith to open the door several times when he came home from get off work.If Gu Linran knew that the door of his house had been opened countless times by a locksmith, he would definitely go crazy.

Every night when he came home, Qian Zijin could see Gu Linran sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed and holding the cat, tilting his head and smiling at him.Sometimes, I could still hear Gu Linran yelling "Little Anzi" a few times.

When he saw Gu Linran for the first time, Qian Zijin was stunned, he cried out excitedly, and rushed straight into Gu Linran's arms, but bumped his head against the back of the sofa, his eyes half bulging. Venus at night.

Later, I saw that Qian Zijin was not so impulsive anymore. He knew that Gu Linran would disappear if he rushed over, so he might as well let him stay a little longer and spend a few more minutes with him.

But every time he blinked his eyes, all these disappeared again, and then every time he entered the house, Qian Zijin tried not to blink, and stared straight at Gu Linran, he wanted to take a second look at Gu Linran Hearing Gu Linran call his name a few more times.

Until the tears flowed out, Gu Linran still disappeared.

The Persian cat still likes to bite the woolen rabbit, and the thread is balled up by it, but recently it not only bites, but also likes to sleep with that rabbit.It never entered the bedroom again, nor jumped on the bed to nest in Qian Zijin's chest.

Qian Zijin was wandering around the house, and would curse from time to time:

"Gu Linran! You fucking pervert! Go and take out the trash!"

"Gu Linran! Where did you hide my clothes again?"

"Gu Linran! If you don't shut up, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

Every time he called Gu Linran, the Persian cat would instantly raise its head, look around, and then buried itself in the sofa in disappointment, licking the woolen rabbit twice.

Every night before going to bed, Qian Zijin would light a cigarette that Gu Linran used to smoke and put it on the bedside table, smelling the smell of tobacco and hugging the pillow to fall asleep.

It's been more than half a month, Qian Zijin waited until he was shaken, he didn't even know if he could trust Gu Linran anymore.

The most repeated sentence in Qian Zijin's heart every day is - "If you are not dead, why don't you come back?!"

Even so, he still refused to believe that Gu Linran really couldn't come back.

Everyone felt that Qian Zijin was in a daze, and he would not listen to anyone's persuasion, but just waited and hoped.When eating in the cafeteria, people are not allowed to sit opposite him, saying that it is Gu Linran's seat, and when driving, they are not allowed to sit in the co-pilot, saying that it is Gu Linran's exclusive recliner.

Liao Hengmei discussed with Xu Rusheng whether to find a psychiatrist for Qian Zijin to see. If this continues, he will go crazy sooner or later.

Xu Rusheng agreed wholeheartedly, so he contacted a high school classmate who was a psychologist, and specially called Qian Zijin to sit next to him during the video during lunch break, pretending to let him chat with him.

The psychiatrist asked Qian Zijin a few questions, but Qian Zijin liked to ignore them, or he was simply absent-minded.

After asking too much, Qian Zijin suddenly became furious, jumped up as soon as he slapped the table, and yelled at Xu Rusheng: "Brother! I don't like women, you know, don't introduce me anymore!"

Seeing the back of Qian Zijin leaving angrily, Xu Rusheng shook his head helplessly.

The working day is not bad, the work of the police station can distract Qian Zijin, and when the weekend comes, the two old people panic, fearing that Qian Zijin will not be able to think about it at home, and scramble to let Qian Zijin go to their house Have a meal.

Qian Zijin can only go back to his parents' place every Saturday to stay for one day, and then go to Gu Yun's house for one day on Sunday.

"Beautiful brother!" As soon as the door opened, Qi Tian rushed over, hugged Qian Zijin's thigh, and rubbed his forehead against his stomach.

Liu Yazhu's funeral was also arranged by Gu Linchen and Zhang Luo. Qi Tian stayed at Gu Yun's house, and he was familiar with him before. Who exactly.

Qian Zijin picked up Qi Tian, ​​closed the door and entered the house, the four of them talked and laughed, ate and chatted, and the day passed quickly.

"Beautiful brother." Qi Tian nestled in Qian Zijin's arms, looked up at him cutely, "Uncle Gu hasn't come for a long time, it's his birthday tomorrow, will he come for dinner?"

Qian Zijin's hand trembled, and his eyes instantly dimmed.Tomorrow is Gu Linran's birthday, and he hasn't come back yet...

"Tian Tian," Lin Fengying picked up Qi Tian and walked to the study, "It's time for us to practice calligraphy, let brother sleep for a while, brother is tired."

Qian Zijin sat on the sofa in a daze, with nothing in his mind. He had gradually changed from initial expectation to resentment. He hated that Gu Linran lied to him, and hated that Gu Linran said nothing.

"An'an!" Gu Yun came over, sat next to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Don't wait."

Qian Zijin raised his head sharply and looked at Gu Yun in surprise.

"Why do you torture yourself like this?" Gu Yun took a sip of tea, "Whether he is dead or alive, you have no obligation to give up your own life for him. Take heart, if he is still alive, he will definitely come back to you of."

"Uncle Gu," Qian Zijin frowned slightly, "Do you believe it? Do you believe he is still alive?"

"I believe it!" Gu Yun opened his mouth, and Qian Zijin's eyes became firm again, "The biggest advantage of the little bastard is his hard life. If he doesn't find the body for a day, he is alive."

"I believe it too!" Qian Zijin said, "But why didn't he come back? We agreed, he..."

Gu Yun patted Qian Zijin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, time will give you all the answers you want."

"Uncle Gu, I will wait until he comes back to me, or I go to him." Qian Zijin looked at Gu Yun and said word by word.

When he got up to go to the kitchen to pour water and passed the study, Qian Zijin heard Lin Fengying talking to Qi Tian.

"Tiantian, what did grandma tell you, don't mention uncle in front of brother, brother will be sad."

"Why are you sad?"

"Because Uncle Gu is not here, my brother misses him."

"Where did Uncle Gu go? Why didn't my brother see him?"

"Uncle Gu has a mission, so he can't come back for the time being."

"Grandma, is Uncle Gu the same as Mom and Dad, and will never come back again?"

When Qian Zijin heard this sentence, tears welled up in his eyes, and he slid down against the study door as soon as his legs softened.He bit the back of his hand, trying not to cry out, but the tears couldn't be stopped, and slid down his cheeks, wetting the front of his clothes.

"Gu Linran..." Qian Zijin hummed softly, crying out of breath, like a child who saved months of pocket money for a beloved toy, but left it on the way to buy the toy. Money is lost.

Gu Linran is his true love. They have been stumbled for so long, finally cleared all obstacles and finally can be together... But Gu Linran was lost by him.

Gu Yun heard the movement, came out to take a look, and saw Qian Zijin squatting at the door of the study, weeping hard, and quickly helped him up to comfort him.

Qian Zijin didn't eat much for dinner, so he left Gu Yun's house with a pair of red eyes. Tomorrow is Gu Linran's birthday. He passed a cake shop on the way home. Gu Linran said that the cake on his birthday , I bought it here.

Qian Zijin parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the cake shop.

There was a sound of "ding dong" opening the door, and the business of the cake shop was actually very deserted on the weekend night. There was no one in the shop, only a man wearing sunglasses and a hat was choosing in front of the counter.

Qian Zijin glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and stood in front of the glass cabinet looking at the cakes displayed inside.

"Which one do you like, sir? These are all freshly made today." The waiter came over with a smile.

"I want to order one and pick it up tomorrow." Qian Zijin said.

The waiter nodded and handed him a picture book: "Then see what you want, we can do everything on it."

Qian Zijin flipped through the album, carefully looked at every page, he saw the cake that Gu Linran bought on his birthday last time, and was about to choose that one, when he flipped through it and suddenly saw A familiar pattern.

"I want this!" Qian Zijin pointed to the pattern.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Sir, you have a good eye. This movie is so small, it shows that you are a person with taste. What should you write on it? Is it a birthday cake or a simple blessing?"

"Birthday, just write Gu Linran happy birthday." Qian Zijin said.

"How old are you? Do you want candles with numbers or single inserts?" the waiter asked.

"Just give me one," Qian Zijin said, "It's a waste if you have too much."

The waiter recorded all the requirements on the order: "Do you think you should pay the full amount or a deposit?"

"The full amount, how much?" Qian Zijin opened the wallet.

"6 for 150 inches, 8 for 1 inches—"

"The 6-inch one, there are few people, and it's too big to eat up." Qian Zijin took two hundred ones and handed them to her, and took another fifty one and the order.

"Just take this order and pick it up before closing tomorrow night." The waiter said with a smile.

"Thank you." Qian Zijin stuffed the money and the order into his wallet, turned around and left the cake shop.

He always felt that someone was watching him just now, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and took another look into the store. The man was still bent over, with his face pressed against the glass, picking out the cakes in the glass cabinet.

Back home, when Qian Zijin opened the door, Gu Linran sat on the sofa again, looking at him with the same posture and the same smile.

"Come back, have you eaten? Your parents asked you again today," Qian Zijin said while changing his shoes. He was used to Gu Linran appearing for a few minutes every night, so he just followed Gu Linran on the sofa said this while doing his own thing, "How does the flower cigarette I bought for you last time taste? If you think it's okay, I'll buy you two more. By the way, Dasheng Say he misses you, and visit your parents when you have time. Tomorrow is your birthday. What do you want to eat? I’ll come back early and make it for you. Steamed sea bass? Or egg custard with rice? I’ve ordered the cake, if you Get off work early, you go get it, anyway, you don’t need to bring the slip, you’re just brushing your face.”

Gu Linran always tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, not speaking or responding, not at all like the broken mouth he used to be.

"Hey, Gu Linran, let's discuss something." Qian Zijin took a pot of water from the kettle and plugged it in. "Can you stay for two more minutes today, I miss you so much."

Steam came out of the kettle after a while, and Qian Zijin's eye sockets became wet again.

Qian Zijin didn't dare to look back at the sofa, he was afraid that when he turned around, he would find that Gu Linran had disappeared, as long as he didn't look at it, Gu Linran would always be there.

He propped his hands on the side of the sink, lowered his head, tears fell on the marble countertop, and said with a choked voice: "Here, if you don't speak, I will take it as your promise. Don't go back on your word. Stay for 2 more minutes today and accompany you." I'm talking. You don't have to say anything, just listen to me. In the past, you were the one who broke your mouth. I listen to you. Today, we will be even. Aiqing got the first place in the mid-term exam, and my sister is very happy , this is her first big exam in junior high school, I took her to eat a steak, it was the same restaurant as the last blind date, West Bridge restaurant. Do you remember? You went to mess with my place, and it ended up being unhappy Scattered. Gu Linran, you are always like this, as soon as you think about it, you will do whatever you want to do, climb mountains if you want to climb mountains, and die if you want to die. Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about me waiting at home? How painful is it?"

Suddenly the sound of a cat food bowl sounded behind him, Qian Zijin was startled, and took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't say these things, I should say something happy. Mei Niu is in love again, and she said she is single I can’t be single and let people see jokes. I found a handsome guy and showed me the photos. But, you are not as handsome as you. In my eyes, no one is as good-looking as you. Sometimes I think, I am so lucky. How come I have such a good-looking boyfriend. You have all the family background, personality, appearance and talent. You have said that this is a necessary condition for being the mayor's daughter-in-law. Then... Let's get married, shall we? Tomorrow I will Just make two false certificates, and let the cheap brother make an electronic version of the stamp, one for each of us, haha, I am the son of the mayor, who dares to stop me, right?"

"Meow..." The Persian cat jumped onto the stage, walked to Qian Zijin's side, and looked at him suspiciously, not knowing who he was talking to.

"Here, if you don't say anything, it's a tacit consent. I'll take it as your promise. You are not allowed to go back on your word, and you are not allowed to deny it!" Qian Zijin smiled, grinned, and tears slipped in.

When returning to the room, Qian Zijin turned his head all the way instead of looking at the sofa. In his mind, Gu Linran was still tilting his head and smiling at him.

Lying on the bed, Qian Zijin took a cigarette from the drawer of the bedside table, lit it and stuck it in the slot of the ashtray.

A faint wisp of smoke slowly climbed up, Qian Zijin closed his eyes and turned over to hug the pillow, rubbed his cheek on the pillow, kissed him lightly, and turned to someone else.

Even though his eyes were closed, he could still see Gu Linran right in front of him, tilting his head and smiling at him.From the day they first met in Ningjiang, nothing has changed.
