I once saw Chu Yixiao

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Last night was the second night of Gu Chen's business trip, and he still couldn't get in touch.

Chu Yixiao woke up, the sky was twilight outside the window, and there was a cloud of water vapor on the window.

He fumbled for his mobile phone from the bedside table. At 5:[-], without Gu Chen by his side, he could easily not sleep well.He closed his eyes and wanted to continue to sleep for a while, his mind was "buzzing", and the more he slept, the more uncomfortable he became.

He simply lifted the quilt and got up, drew the curtains and opened the window, the coolness after a burst of rain came over his face, standing by the window for a while, his mind became clearer.

The phone rang and vibrated on the bedside table.

Could it be Gu Chen?

It was Xiao Liangyue.

"Hey, Brother Yue, what's the matter so early?" Chu Yixiao suppressed the sadness in his heart.

"Yi Xiao, today, I will leave the flower shop to you. If it doesn't work, just close it." There was a burst of panting on the other end of the phone, which sounded extremely painful, "I'll take a vacation today first."

"Brother Yue, are you okay?" Chu Yixiao asked tentatively.

There was a long silence, and there was no answer from the other end of the phone, only intermittent gasps.

Chu Yi smiled and frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, remembering that Xiao Liangyue said that he was not feeling well, and remembering that Xiao Liangyue once said that he lived alone, so he continued to ask: "Brother Yue, where is your home? I'll go and have a look."

After a while, Xiao Liangyue struggled to say an address. Chu Yixiao quickly hung up the phone, took a random set of clothes from the closet and changed, and then rushed to the first floor to change his shoes. Due to his haste, he forgot his coat. Wearing it, the shirt was only buttoned up a few messily, and I fell down when going down the stairs.

He stopped a taxi at random on the road, and gave the driver his address before he could sit still.

"Please drive faster, master." The sweat on Chu Yi's smiling face was already covered with a thin layer.

He just remembered to call the hospital immediately.After getting through the phone, the hospital agreed to dispatch the car after more than ten minutes of talking with the hospital because of the unclear description of Xiao Liangyue's condition.

"Master, please drive faster," Chu Yixiao urged again.

After finally the car stopped, Chu Yixiao looked at the white western-style apartment through a courtyard in front covered with green vines—it was probably here.

Chu Yixiao called Xiao Liangyue and went up to ring the doorbell. Xiao Liangyue didn't answer the phone, but he didn't know when he sent him a message. The message showed: "Password 7324"

He didn't understand it for a while, and glanced at the combination lock of the door next to the doorbell. He suddenly came to his senses and reached out to press the password. Just after he pressed the password, he heard the sound of the door opening and the sound of a car horn outside the courtyard.

As soon as Chu Yixiao opened the door, he looked up and saw Xiao Liangyue lying pale in the huge living room, half leaning on the sofa, his face was covered with sweat, and his lips were bloodless.

He yelled and rushed over to help Xiao Liangyue up. Xiao Liangyue lay on the sofa in extreme pain.

"Brother Yue, Brother Yue, what's the matter with you?" Chu Yi smiled and patted Xiao Liangyue's face, but the other person seemed to be speechless with his eyes closed.Chu Yixiao's hands started to tremble, thinking why the people from this hospital haven't arrived yet.

There was a sound of noisy and messy footsteps outside the door, from far to near, Chu Yi smiled and looked back, there were four well-dressed young men, white-collar, including a girl with a ball head, all about 30 years old, with a flustered expression , came directly to Xiao Liangyue's side.

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked at Xiao Liangyue with a painful face, and said softly, "Boss, are you okay, boss?"

It took Xiao Liangyue a long time to squeeze out a smile and said, "Liangcheng, are you here?"

The girl with the ball head in the back yelled: "Send the person to the hospital first, why are you talking so much now?"

Don't look at that girl's petite appearance, her temper is unusually violent.

The siren of the ambulance sounded again outside the door. It was estimated that the ambulance just called had arrived.

The two men in black coats at the back reacted. A slightly stronger man picked Xiao Liangyue up and walked out of the house, followed by a group of people in disarray.

When he arrived at the hospital, Xiao Liangyue passed out and was sent to the emergency room.

Xu Liangcheng took out a tissue to wipe off his sweat, saw Chu Yixiao sitting on a chair in the emergency room, and went up to say hello: "Are you the clerk recruited by the boss's flower shop?"

Chu Yixiao stood up: "Hello, you are Brother Yue's...newly recruited employees?"

"What new tricks, old tricks? We have been with the boss for seven or eight years, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." The ball girl didn't know when she appeared behind Chu Yixiao.

Xu Liangcheng pulled her back, looked at Chu Yi with apologetic smile: "In recent years, the boss has only been thinking about the flower shop, and he doesn't care about the company's business. He just handed it over to us, and we seldom go to him. Check it out in the store so you don't know us"

As he spoke, he politely handed out a black gilt business card.

"My name is Wu Ninghuan, call me Huanhuan." The ball-headed girl raised her head and stretched out her hand, with an expression of "I'm in a hurry, please hurry up".

"Hi, I'm Chu Yixiao, a clerk at the boss's flower shop." Chu Yixiao took Xu Liangcheng's business card, stretched out his hand to gently shake Wu Ninghuan's hand, and smiled gently.

"Then you'll be called Xiaoxiao from now on, Cheng Cheng, I'll go back to the meeting first, the company is so busy that you take care of the boss first, I'll take over after work." Wu Ninghuan dragged the other two away before finishing his sentence.

Chu Yixiao couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable being called "Xiaoxiao".

Xu Liangcheng was dressed as a white-collar elite, but he looked very easy-going. He casually loosened the tie and buttons around his neck and sat on the bench in the hospital. He patted the empty seat next to him and said to Chu Yi with a smile, "Sit down." "

Chu Yixiao sat down, accidentally saw the collarbone under Xu Liangcheng's ripped collar, and hurriedly looked away.

They waited quietly for the red light in the emergency room to dim.

Looking back now, the scene of Xiao Liangyue lying on the living room seems familiar, but fortunately, he found it in time.

Chu Yi smiled and thought, in such a scene, if Gu Chen really decided not to let him go, or decided to start a family, what would happen to him?

️

Gu Chen worked desperately overtime that year. He often went home and was so tired that he would just sit on the sofa with Chu Yixiao in his arms and fall asleep. He would wake up in less than an hour, go to the study to read the documents and see the dawn, and then hurriedly pick up the Briefcase and go.

There was a steaming hot breakfast left on the table until it was completely cold, and then Chu Yi laughed and cried and ate it all in one bite.

Chu Yixiao tried to persuade Gu Chen in a soft voice, but once he persuaded Gu Chen, he became annoyed: "Can you fucking be quiet for a while?"

Occasionally, Chu Yixiao wakes up and can’t see anyone, so she will carefully open the study door with bare feet and watch Gu Chen propping his head to contemplate, then close the study door, and sit on the floor outside the room for a whole night, waiting for the day to come soon. When it was bright, he carefully went back to the bedroom and pretended to sleep.

One time, by mistake, I wanted to make supper for Gu Chen and brought it in for him. He kept his voice as low as possible, but he didn't know when Gu Chen would appear behind him with a frosty face: "You fucking don't go to sleep here in the middle of the night. do what?"

Chu Yixiao was so frightened that the pot cover in his hand shook and fell to the ground, making a "clang" sound, which was especially loud in the silent night.

The porridge in the pot was gurgling, and Gu Chen's face didn't have any waves, only tiredness remained.

Chu Yixiao didn't know what to do, like a thief who just stole something and was caught, unable to speak, lowered his head and only waited for his reaction, be it thunder or rain.

Gu Chen didn't speak any more, he turned around and walked to the sofa in the living room to lie down.

After the porridge was ready, Gu Chen didn't wake up, Chu Yixiao put half of the pot of porridge in the refrigerator, and then poured the remaining half pot of porridge into a bowl to cool.

Walking to the sofa, he couldn't bear to wake up the sleeping Gu Chen, and let him sleep until dawn.

The next morning, Gu Chen finally ate the breakfast he made.Before going out, he said to Chu Yi with a smile: "Don't mess with those things, I won't eat those things in the middle of the night, I'm busy"

Chu Yixiao never had supper again, but she was happy for a whole week.

In the next week, Gu Chen began to return home drunk, either late or not.

Every time when Chu Yixiao went home to meet him, he would be thrown away with a backhand, no matter whether he fell to the ground or hit the wall, Gu Chen was indifferent.

"Chu Yixiao, you bastard, let me go as far as you want, don't fucking bother me" was a sentence Gu Chen often said during that time.

During that time, Gu Chen was moody, and his beating and indifference to Chu Yixiao depended on his mood.

Gu Chen looked at the documents, and suddenly called Chu Yixiao into the study angrily, seeing Chu Yixiao's frightened expression, he pressed his head on the desk, "If I have nothing, are you fucking Just ran away with someone?"

Chu Yixiao's head was pressed down on the hard wooden table, and a piece of scalp could be knocked off.

He denied with difficulty and hoarsely: "Don't follow"

Gu Chen picked him up and yelled, "You fucking lie to me, you think I don't know that you're just looking for my money"

Chu Yixiao would always be hurt by Gu Chen's words "for money", but when he was with him, he was powerless to refute, his whole body softened, so he had to close his eyes and let his words continue to be cut like a knife.

When will Gu Chen really feel that Chu Yixiao doesn't want to be tied up with money?

Gu Chen saw that he did not refute, like an enraged lion, turned him around and reached into his clothes to fumble around, moving from chest to abdomen and then down, biting the edge of Chu Yixiao's neck fiercely He started to play around, and roared, "You took my money, and you can only warm my bed for the rest of your life."

Gu Chen's words were sharp to the bone, Chu Yi smiled and watched his crazy movements, and said hoarsely: "I said I won't run with others"

However, Gu Chen couldn't listen to anything Chu Yixiao said.

When the two of them finally became quiet, Gu Chen pushed Chu Yixiao aside, and went out to smoke on the balcony with a cold face.

Chu Yixiao struggled to get up from the table, he was sad in his heart, wiped away his tears and looked in Gu Chen's direction, then took out a coat and went to the balcony.

Gu Chen was barefoot, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows, sitting on the floor of the balcony, smoking with his head down, the ashes and cigarette butts were already all over the floor.

The night is as cool as water, and the red sparks on the smoke flicker in the wind.

Chu Yixiao bent down, moved Gu Chen's upper body out a little, and covered him with his coat.Gu Chen didn't move or make a sound, as if he had lost the weight of his body, he leaned on Chu Yixiao's shoulder and let Chu Yixiao wear it for him.

After a long time, Chu Yixiaogai was about to get up, but Gu Chen grabbed him.

"Stay with me" has a hoarse voice after smoking.
