Chapter 13
That night, the little hapless Ji Ruan sent Mr. Gu a five-hundred-character short text short composition in a fit of exasperation.
And at 5:30 in the morning of the next day, Mr. Gu got a reply when he got up –
[. ]
The little hapless guy lost his appetite all day, so he only ate an extra plate of cherries.
In the following days, Mr. Gu went to work again, and he didn’t see anyone all day and all night.
Ji Ruan completely indulged first, lying on the bed when he had nothing to do, not because he was suddenly too lazy, but because the crying scene took too much energy from him.
It is said that tears can detoxify, but after crying, Ji Ruan only felt that his body was hollowed out, and he couldn’t lift his energy for two days, and he didn’t recover until the third day.
People’s laziness and social fear seem to be intermittent. At first, it will be very happy if it is bad at home, but it will start to be boring after a long time.
That day Ji Ruan had eaten lunch, was lying on the bed bored eating cherries, and was hesitating whether to ask Han Xiaolin out to play, when the phone rang just right.
“Hello?” Ji Ruan quickly picked it up.
“Hey bro!” Han Xiaolin’s iconic voice sounded: “Come out and have fun!” There was
a lot of noise on his side, and Ji Ruan grabbed the doll bear’s ear and asked, “Why are you kidding, where are you?” “
We graduated Team building! There are so many people!” Han Xiaolin said loudly, “There is a party in the video game city in the central square, can you come?” “Come
on.” Ji Ruan got up and opened the closet: “Wait for me, I’m going out now “
“Okay, I just arrived, and everyone hasn’t arrived yet, so you can take your time to clean up.” “
Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ruan casually changed into a T-shirt and shorts, and slipped into the kitchen to find Zhao. Aunt.
As soon as Aunt Zhao finished washing the dishes, she looked up and saw a furry head protruding from the wall. Ji Ruan blinked her big round eyes at her.
Auntie Zhao, who had lived a few years old, was so cute that her heart trembled immediately, and she repeatedly waved: “Why are you hiding there, Ruan Ruan, come here!”
Ji Ruan squeezed out her dimples and ran to hug Aunt Zhao’s arm, First coquettishly: “Aunt Zhao, that…do you know why Mr. Gu came back?”
Aunt Zhao was hugged by Bai Nennen’s little friend, her head was dizzy, and she pinched Ji Ruan’s face: “Ouch That’s not certain, he has been working all the time, and he doesn’t know if he will come back this week.”
“Is that so…” Ji Ruan rolled her eyes, “Then Aunt Zhao, I want to go out and play.”
Aunt Zhao smiled Liao Hua: “So that’s what I wanted to say, ghosts and ghosts, if you want to play, just go and play, what are you playing? Pay attention to safety!”
Ji Ruan looked serious: “Our graduation team building is in the central square , isn’t there a video game city there? It’s very close.”
Aunt Zhao thought for a while: “It seems… I have the impression that some young children gather there…Come on, let’s go and let Uncle Zhang–
” No need.” Ji Ruan picked up her phone and walked towards the entrance: “I’ll just take a taxi, it’s not too far away. By the way, Aunt Zhao, I won’t come back for dinner, we’ll play later.” “Okay, okay.
” Aunt Zhao smiled and waved her hands: “Go quickly, don’t keep your classmates waiting too long.”
Ji Ruan was about to change her shoes, but she ran over to give Aunt Zhao a bear hug before going out, leaving behind a fluffy head and waving Aunt Zhao’s back:
“Bye bye Aunt Zhao!”
Aunt Zhao was dizzy with joy after being hugged and attacked. After watching Ji Ruan leave, she couldn’t hold back the smile on her face.
Mr. Gu came back at this time.
Half an hour after Ji Ruan went out, Gu Xiuyi, who had been away from home for three days, finally opened the villa door again.
But the room was different from usual, there was no Aunt Zhao’s high-pitched laughter, nor Ji Ruan’s wrinkled face, it was unusually quiet.
It seems to have returned to the cold days when there was no Ji Ruan.
Gu Xiuyi suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and walked around the room up and down.
He went to Ji Ruan’s room first, but no one answered when he knocked on the door. He was afraid that if Ji Ruan closed his cochlea again and didn’t hear, he pushed the door open a small crack, but no one was there.
Gu Xiuyi opened the door and went in, checked the bathroom and cloakroom, and found that Ji Ruan was indeed not there.
Next, he shook every floor of the entire villa, even the swimming pool in the backyard, and there was still no one in sight.
He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Ji Ruan, but he put his finger on the dial key and suddenly didn’t know what to say, he hesitated for a while, and walked to the door of Ji Ruan’s room again by a strange coincidence.
“Hey little Gu!” Aunt Zhao’s voice came from nowhere: “Why are you back?”
Gu Xiuyi put away his phone and looked around, and then saw Aunt Zhao standing on the first floor over the railing. The pajamas held the towel and looked like they had just showered and were about to take a nap.
“It’s nothing.” Gu Xiuyi coughed and went downstairs: “Lingzhou’s project is over, I’ll take a few days off.
” Shock.
Gu Xiuyi skipped the topic of vacation and pointed to Ji Ruan’s room: “Where are the others?”
Aunt Zhao couldn’t help smiling when mentioning Ji Ruan: “Go out to play with my classmates.”
“Playing?” Gu Xiuyi went Take care of the table and go: “Where are you going, how long are you going to play?”
Aunt Zhao said while wiping her hair with a towel, “It is said that it is a graduation team building, and many students are together. In the video game city, I should play for a long time. I won’t come back for dinner. “
“Really…” Gu Xiuyi took out a water glass, poured water slowly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Didn’t he feel unwell the past two days? Why did he run out today?” “It’s not that uncomfortable either.
” “” Aunt Zhao recalled, “It’s just that he’s not very energetic, he’s sick. I let him go out to play when he looked better today. After all, Ruan Ruan just graduated from high school. It’s normal to love to play. It’s better than being bored at home all the time. Okay?”
“That’s true…”
Aunt Zhao let out a long and happy sigh: “And he hugged me and acted like a baby, how could I refuse?”
Gu Xiuyi didn’t drink the water that was brought to his mouth, and his voice became high-pitched: “Hold you?”
“Yeah, what a spoiled girl…” After Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she realized that Gu Xiuyi’s expression was strange: “What’s the matter, Gu?” “No, it’s
nothing,” Gu Xiuyi smiled lightly: “Go and rest. I’ll take a shower and take a nap.”
“Oh… that’s fine.” Aunt Zhao left with a dazed expression on her face, while Gu Xiuyi was still standing still holding the water glass.
Hug… Acting like a baby?
Mr. Gu took a sip of water.
Still acting like a spoiled child?
President Gu drools twice.
He shook his head to get Ji Ruan’s face out of his mind, and started a pleasant vacation with all his heart.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Gu took a nap.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Gu got up.
At 3:30, Mr. Gu watches TV.
It’s half past three, and the TV is too hard to watch.
Strolled into Ji Ruan’s room.
Ji Ruan seemed to be having a good time living in a room that was decorated so cartoonishly that it looked like a children’s room due to a work mistake.
On the small wooden table on the bed was a lucky cat with its paws removed. It was a bit ugly, but Ji Ruan seemed to like eating cherries with it.
Gu Xiuyi plucked his bare paws, and unconsciously twitched the corners of his lips, it was good.
There was a stack of A4 papers spread out on the desk, which Ji Ruan used to draw when he was bored, and some of them were Aunt Zhao, who painted well.
Gu Xiuyi glanced quickly, but he didn’t find his own portrait inside… It’s good.
The grass that Ji Ruan brought back to raise on the balcony has grown up and is greener…it’s all good.
Before leaving, Gu Xiuyi saw the big doll bear on the bed again, and Ji Ruan often hugged it.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the bear’s belly, the feel was average, why does Ji Ruan always like to put his face on it?
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Gu walked through the entire villa at a speed of three steps and one turn, and finally arrived at dinner time.
After dinner, Mr. Gu continued to watch TV.
After browsing all the TV stations in ten minutes, Gu Xiuyi threw the remote control on the coffee table, fell back on the sofa, and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Gu Xiuyi had lived for nearly thirty years, and it was the first time in his life that he felt absurd, extremely absurd.
How can someone not like to go to work but like to take a vacation?
What is the point of such a boring vacation?
How did Ji Ruan manage to stay at home for half a month and still enjoy it?
This is a difficult proposition, and only Ji Ruan himself can answer it.
But this person who could answer Gu Xiuyi’s life-long doubts, was fooling around without knowing where, he was so happy that he didn’t want to leave, and he didn’t even call back.
In the evening, Gu Xiuyi took over Ji Ruan’s seat and accompanied Aunt Zhao to watch the rural ethics drama.
Both Aunt Zhao and Xiao An enjoyed watching it, but Gu Xiuyi couldn’t understand it somehow.
Why does the eldest brother of that family like the sister-in-law of this family? Why doesn’t everyone in the village like this sister-in-law? Why does this sister-in-law always hold the baby and cry?
But Ji Ruan should be able to understand, find a chance to ask him.
The clock on the wall was about to turn to twelve o’clock. Gu Xiuyi looked at it and asked Aunt Zhao casually, “Why hasn’t Ji Ruan come back? It’s a bit late.” Aunt
Zhao also showed anxiety and wanted to get up to get her phone , I don’t know what to think of, suddenly looked at Gu Xiuyi and changed the subject: “Why don’t you give him a call?
” Suppress it hard.
He raised his hand to pinch his chin, took out his mobile phone, and said in a calm tone, “Then I’ll ask for you.” The phone rang
for a long time, and Gu Xiuyi and Aunt Zhao sat together and waited quietly until it was about to hang up automatically. Just got picked up.
Gu Xiuyi pressed the speakerphone, but before he could speak, there was a deafening sound from the opposite side.
Drum beats, noise, melody, rhythm, mixed with the roar of cheers, Gu Xiuyi frowned almost immediately.
“Where are you?”
Ji Ruan’s fragile voice sounded insignificant amidst the intense waves of sound, but he yelled hard: “Where-? “
Gu Xiuyi: “…”
Aunt Zhao opened her eyes wide in horror. In her impression, the video game city doesn’t look like this…
Gu Xiuyi’s lips were pressed down, his face looked cold, and he said each word: “Go Did you play disco?”
——————–
The author has something to say:
Mr. Gu: I took a vacation for my wife, and my wife went to disco, leaving me alone in the empty room.
Ruan Ruan: Yes-bi-ye-pai-yes! come on baby, rock you!
Mr. Gu: …No, I have to catch it.
