Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Gu Xingshuang knew that he would eventually fall...
Xu Nianping put away his gloating mood and tried his best to make himself look less obvious.
He pretended to be very envious: "You can still get up and indulge in drinking in the middle of the night."
"The good thing about doctors is that they have days off."
"I was miserable. It was National Day, but I had to get up early in the morning to go to work. I didn't dare drink alcohol the night before, for fear that I wouldn't be able to get up the next day."
"Fortunately, we get triple salary during the National Day holiday, so I can get 2,000 a day, otherwise I would not bother to do it." He put the emphasis on 2,000.
The layoff crisis in Xu Nianping's company has temporarily passed, and he was not laid off, thus escaping the disaster.
Gu Xingshuang cheered up. Seeing Xu Nianping talking about the company's affairs at ease, he knew that there was a high probability that he would not be laid off, so he dared to talk to him about work.
He said: "Not really, I have to go to work tomorrow."
He said, “I can’t get 2,000.”
For the entire rehabilitation program, only days 1 and 2 are closed, which happens to be a weekend off.
He was on duty on the 3rd and 4th, Shen Dongzhi was on duty on the 5th and 6th, and they resumed normal work from the 7th.
Fortunately, I still have holidays next Saturday and Sunday.
After these two sentences, the atmosphere became quiet.
Gu Xingshuang suspected that she was taking her anger out on Xu Nianping because he was too cold and didn't talk much, so she asked a few more questions to prove that he was not normal: "Will your company have to work overtime like this in the future?"
Xu Nianping: "It'll only be these two days. We'll be fine after we get through this period."
Gu Xingshuang: "That's good."
Gu Xingshuang was silent again.
He couldn't think of any further topic to talk about.
Seeing that Gu Xingshuang was silent, Xu Nianping deliberately said to him, "I've been looking at Wanbao Pavilion these past two days to see if there is a suitable account."
“I have collected several so far, but I am not particularly satisfied with any of them.”
"I always feel that either the price is too high or the profession is not suitable. I still prefer to play Lingshu."
He looked at Gu Xingshuang, his smile carrying malice that could hardly be concealed: "Please keep an eye on it for me."
"If you know someone who wants to sell an account, we can do the transaction privately and save the handling fee."
Gu Xingshuang: "Yeah, okay."
He heard himself say.
The aluminum can had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and after holding it for too long, I felt a piercing pain where it touched my skin.
This scene was unfamiliar in his life, but the emotions that surged in his heart were very familiar.
Irritability, loss, collapse, depression...
He had experienced such complex emotions many times, and they would eventually turn into emptiness.
He will clear these emotions by escaping or giving up.
It's like all the messy items on the table are pushed to the ground, and by seeing the clean table, you can gain a brief peace.
So annoying and disgusting.
The never-clear-cut interpersonal relationships and out-of-control trends always make his life, which he has worked so hard to straighten out, a mess.
Gu Xingshuang didn't remember what she said to Xu Nianping afterwards.
He heard himself speaking, but he couldn't make out what he said.
He took the beer back to the bedroom, and when he came to his senses, the cold liquid slid down his throat, awakening his empty brain.
The feeling of irritability and anxiety came over him again, the air became scorching hot, and he had to drink the remaining half can of ice beer to drive away the heat.
The air conditioner was on in Gu Xingshuang's room, but he still felt hot.
Not until he swallowed the last sip did he taste the bitter taste of beer beneath the coldness on his tongue.
Was this beer this bitter before?
He shook the jar in his hand, thinking absentmindedly.
Gu Xingshuang held the empty aluminum can in her hand. Stimulated by the low temperature, her brain regained consciousness and she became more awake.
Gu Xingshuang sighed. She couldn’t sleep tonight. She couldn’t take sleeping pills after drinking.
He stood up, put the aluminum can neatly into the trash can, put on a coat and went out.
He remembered there was a bar nearby...
Ten minutes later.
After drinking the strong liquor, Gu Xingshuang finally forgot about those annoying things.
He was lying on the table with his cell phone in front of him.
Dr. Gu, who was famous for his calmness and self-control, now had red eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly. His usually gentle and polite face revealed a bit of world-weariness that was usually well hidden.
He clicked on Ying Yuan's profile picture, expanded it, and then closed it, stroking the message sent by Ying Yuan, over and over again.
Finally, he lowered his brows, as if he had thought of something and his spirit reached its limit.
Under the influence of alcohol, he swiped his fingers across the screen a few times and turned off the screen.
He quit the gang group, quit the chat group with Mianmian and Mianmian, and blocked Ying Yuan.
Even Mianmian was not immune.
After doing all this, he felt relieved.
The mind gets a moment of true peace.
Gu Xingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt empty inside.
He laughed at himself.
How can a person be so pretentious and twisted?
He ordered another drink.
An hour later.
Having rejected countless approaches, Gu Xingshuang stood up shakily, attracting seven or eight secret glances.
Before anyone else came up to him, he had already stood up straight, walked towards the door with a steady pace without looking back. His eyes seemed to have become clear, and there was no sign of drunkenness at all.
When Gu Xingshuang heard someone mutter something like "You can drink so much", a smug smile appeared on his face.
Of course.
He is a good drinker and can hold his liquor quite well.
Because he couldn't get drunk, he had to take good care of himself.
His mind had never been so clear.
Gu Xingshuang walked slowly through the last bustling crowd until the secret gaze disappeared.
He walked out of the bar door. It was late at night and there was no wind. He left the air-conditioned bar. The stuffiness in the air collided with the heat of alcohol, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Gu Xingshuang walked all the way home, thinking slowly.
He drank a lot of wine today, so he should drink a glass of warm water to replenish water when he gets home. It would be best if he can make himself a cup of honey water or eat some fruit to metabolize the excess alcohol.
The fruit shop at the door has fresh fruit plates every day.
It must be closed this late.
He blinked, trying to clear away the unrealistic and chaotic consciousness.
Gu Xingshuang continued to think.
I smell of alcohol and the smell of the bar. I can't take a shower after drinking, so I just wipe my face.
Otherwise, just put the bath towel on the bed.
Otherwise the sheets will smell like alcohol.
And... remember to remove Ying Yuan from the blacklist.
As for the gang group, you can only add it again tomorrow.
After all, he couldn't run away because of this.
He is an adult, and when encountering problems, the first thing he should think about is solving the problem, not avoiding it.
The villain in Gu Xingshuang's heart educated herself in a stern manner.
As he walked, he planned what he would do when he got home.
After opening the door of the entrance hall, Gu Xingshuang, who had just stood upright, suddenly staggered.
He changed into slippers and held the door handle with one hand. The drunkenness that seemed to have been paused swept through his brain in an instant.
What to do...?
He returned to his room, and a sense of security enveloped him as he returned to a familiar place.
He took off his coat and turned on the air conditioner. The room was still chilled by the air conditioner. In the comfortable and safe environment, Gu Xingshuang crawled into the quilt. As soon as he closed his eyes, thick darkness swallowed him.
He had blackouts.
——
The next morning, Gu Xingshuang went to work on time.
Their surgical rehabilitation department will be closed from the 1st to the 2nd of the National Day. He will be at work on the 3rd and 4th, and Shen Dongzhi will be at work on the 5th and 6th. They will resume work as usual on the 7th.
So when most people were enjoying the National Day holiday, Gu Xingshuang took a shower and went to work at the hospital despite having a hangover headache.
October is the beginning of autumn, and the tail end of summer sweeps across the fallen leaves, evaporating the last bit of summer warmth.
The door of the clinic opened, and Gu Xingshuang, who was dressed in a white coat and still had moisture on her body, cast a strange and ambiguous aura over the gentle and almost abstinent Dr. Gu, causing the last bit of high temperature in the air to stir.
Several pairs of eyes in the clinic automatically fell on Gu Xingshuang, and the girl from the medical device company even let out a small exclamation.
Despite the rush of time, Gu Xingshuang still took a shower and washed her hair to get rid of the smell of alcohol on her body.
It is best not to wash your hair in the morning, but Gu Xingshuang made an exception to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
A colleague from outside the office who came to visit and had to work today tried to find a suitable adjective: "Wow, you look..." He originally wanted to say sexy.
But thinking that the girl from the medical device company was right next to him, saying this would seem like teasing his colleague, so his colleague gestured with his hands but ultimately did not say the two words.
It was not until Gu Xingshuang sat down that her colleague's sensitive nose came into play.
"Have you been drinking?"
The smell of alcohol on Gu Xingshuang was already very light, but it still couldn't escape his colleague's nose, and he caught a trace of it.
Gu Xingshuang: "Yeah, I drank a little."
He had nothing to hide.
A colleague lamented: "We have to work on National Day. I really have to rely on alcohol to numb myself and trick myself into coming to work today."
"I also want to sleep in at home."
Gu Xingshuang responded again.
A colleague noticed that Gu Xingshuang was absent-minded and reminded him, "Order some porridge to warm your stomach and sober you up. I see you're still hungover."
Gu Xingshuang did not refute.
Indeed, although he looked the same as usual, his mind was actually a mess.
When I wake up in the morning, I can only rely on the smell of alcohol and remember to take a shower.
He always felt that there was something else he had not done, but he could not remember what it was.
He remembered that he had arranged a lot of things to do for himself last night, and he wanted to write a list.
I only remembered to take a shower today.
I can only say that it’s a good thing that he is not a regular outpatient doctor, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to see a patient today.
Fortunately, there were not many new patients during the National Day holiday. They were all acquaintances who had received several courses of treatment here.
Gu Xingshuang had already made muscle memory of the stretching and rehabilitation exercises they had done.
He was immersed in physical labor day after day, and under the double fatigue of body and brain, he temporarily forgot about the things in the game.
There were not many patients this afternoon, but the department held an impromptu meeting to discuss sending personnel to the newly built branch.
Gu Xingshuang also has to make some time to go to the branch.
The branch is not far from here, about half an hour's drive.
But for Gu Xingshuang, who rented a house next to the hospital just to walk less, a half-hour drive was enough to be fatal.
"Buy a car."
"You're almost 30, and you still don't have a car, isn't that right?"
"We can talk about the house later, wait until you have a partner and plan to start a family. But you should buy a car when it's time. Who doesn't want to buy a car?"
As soon as the colleague came out of the meeting room, he started brainwashing Gu Xingshuang.
The fact that Gu Xingshuang didn't have a car was known to the entire surgery department, and her colleagues were shocked.
He couldn't understand why in modern society, there are still adults in their thirties who have stable jobs and live in a city but don't have a car.
"If you don't buy it now, you will have to buy it in the future."
“I won’t talk about the basics of traveling and going to the hospital.”
"Your parents are young and healthy now, so you may not feel it deeply. But when they get older and go to the hospital more often, if there is an emergency, it will definitely be more convenient to drive yourself than take a taxi."
"To put it bluntly, if something really happens and you can't wait for an ambulance, it's possible that taxi drivers won't want to take your elderly family member."
Gu Xingshuang didn't say anything. His father had started a new family and his mother had never liked staying in the same space with him. When she got older, she might prefer to rent a car rather than ride in his car.
Seeing that Gu Xingshuang still didn't say anything, the colleague threw out a trump card: "If you have a partner in the future, you can't ride a small electric donkey to pick them up, right?"
When the colleague said this, Ying Yuan's face automatically appeared in Gu Xingshuang's mind.
Then Ying Yuan sat on the electric car and looked at him.
Thinking of this scene, Gu Xingshuang laughed for no reason.
Before his colleagues could be surprised by his sudden smile and turned to look at him, Gu Xingshuang had already returned to his usual quiet self.
It was as if the chuckle just now was just his illusion.
Fortunately, my colleague has extraordinary confidence in his hearing.
He struck while the iron was hot: "Look, you also think it's funny to ride an electric donkey to pick up your date."
"Take advantage of this opportunity and buy the car quickly."
His colleagues had no idea that he had already been jumping back and forth in the minefield several times.
Gu Xingshuang responded: "Okay."
By the time he got off work, he was completely sober and on his way home.
He always felt that he had forgotten something. He tried to recall from last night when he was drunk, and followed the existing memories to find those that he had forgotten.
He remembered that he was trying to suppress his drunkenness on his way back home.
At the time, he wanted to drink some water to replenish his water, wipe his body to remove the smell of alcohol, and even thought about taking a bath towel under him.
Of course, in the end these things only remained in his mind.
When he got home, he fell asleep.
Then what?
Gu Xingshuang always felt that she had forgotten the most important thing, but she just couldn't remember anything.
He looked thoughtful.
The elevator stopped at the floor where his home was. Gu Xingshuang walked out of the elevator door as usual, looked up, and saw a figure at the door of his home who shouldn't be there.
He was stunned, and the blood in his body quickly froze in the hot air.
At this moment, he even forgot to breathe.
Familiar yet strange.
This was the first time he saw the real Ying Yuan, but he had seen him countless times in photos and videos.
His eyes widened almost instantly, with a look of surprise on his face, and then all the memories that he had forgotten in the corner came flooding back.
The source of his day's uneasiness finally came to light.
He remembered.
He forgot... to release Ying Yuan from the blacklist!
Gu Xingshuang's brain worked hard, and she vaguely grasped the key point of the moment.
Ying Yuan came to the door?
Gu Xingshuang couldn't believe the scene before her. She almost thought she was still dreaming and that what was before her was just Ying Yuan's illusion.
As if to break Gu Xingshuang's guess, Ying Yuan, who was standing at the door, strode towards him.
Gu Xingshuang had watched Ying Yuan's videos and seen the photos he sent him, and he thought he had a full understanding of Ying Yuan.
However, when Ying Yuan really appeared in front of him, he realized how absurd and outrageous his mistake was.
Gu Xingshuang is 1.8 meters tall, which is considered tall among the crowd.
But Ying Yuan was half a head taller than him, and when he walked towards him quickly with a hostile aura all over his body, his aura was overwhelming and extremely oppressive.
The gaze on him seemed to want to swallow him whole.
Gu Xingshuang unconsciously took half a step back.
From Ying Yuan's perspective, when Gu Xingshuang saw him, she was frightened out of guilt and was about to go back to the elevator to escape.
Still running away?!
He has come to her door, but Gu Xingshuang is still thinking about running away?
Success added fuel to Ying Yuan's anger.
He grabbed Gu Xingshuang's wrist almost as if he was hunting prey, and pulled the person who was in a half-asleep and half-awake state over to him, sending him into an area where he could have absolute control, for fear that Gu Xingshuang would try to disappear and run away with him again.
Gu Xingshuang was caught off guard and was almost pulled into Ying Yuan's arms.
Is it really Ying Yuan? He thought absentmindedly.
Ying Yuan hugged him and prevented him from falling.
The two people's postures are extremely close and ambiguous.
Gu Xingshuang's breath was filled with the scent of Ying Yuan.
He was in a daze for a moment, until he was pushed against the wall by Ying Yuan, he finally realized what was happening.
Gu Xingshuang looked up and saw that Ying Yuan's eyes were full of red bloodshot. His eyes were not as cheerful and sunny as in the video.
His eyes were deep and fierce, and he almost wanted to eat the person in front of him alive. However, after seeing Gu Xingshuang up close, he softened a lot and just stared at him closely, refusing to move an inch.
Ying Yuan had never seen Gu Xingshuang's real appearance, so when Jiu Yueyue told him the real news about Gu Xingshuang, she didn't send him any photos.
But when Gu Xingshuang walked out of the elevator, he only took a glance, and in just one tenth of a second, he confirmed that this was the person he was looking for.
Before coming, he was already extremely angry. If the address Jiu Yueyue sent him had not been just half an hour away by taxi, he would have been able to see Gu Xingshuang right away. Ying Yuan relied on this to support his emotions and managed to keep himself calm.
Otherwise, he might lose control of his emotions halfway through.
Now after seeing Gu Xingshuang, his raging anger turned into a pool of grievance and love before it could even hit Gu Xingshuang.
He traced Gu Xingshuang's outline with his eyes almost greedily.
She was even more beautiful and pretty than he had imagined, with a good figure. He saw it clearly the moment Gu Xingshuang walked out of the elevator just now.
She had long legs, a narrow waist and a slender figure, but in the hot weather, the thin fabric could not cover her at all.
Ying Yuan suppressed the pornographic images that were flying around in his mind like snowflakes and tried his best to maintain his furious state. His voice was low and full of angry questions: "Why did you block me?"
The ending note still couldn't help but carry a hint of grievance.
"Do you hate me that much?"
Gu Xingshuang subconsciously retorted: "I don't hate you."
"I……"
Ying Yuan: "You what?"
He pressed forward step by step, and Gu Xingshuang wanted to retreat uncontrollably, but found that he was pressed against the wall with no room to escape.
Gu Xingshuang opened her mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
I forgot to remove you from the blacklist.
Say this?
The three seconds of silence that Gu Xingshuang went through due to hesitation became an undeniable consent in Ying Yuan's view.
His mood, which had just calmed down, was once again stirred up by huge waves. Fortunately, his rationality had not completely dissipated, which pulled at his nerves and prevented him from doing anything uncontrollable.
"That's because of Cangwu." His voice was low, and his lips were only two fingers away from Gu Xingshuang.
The warm breath was filled with hatred for Cangwu and the torment of having to release his own desires, and was conveyed to Gu Xingshuang in a whisper.
The tone of his voice was so cruel and hateful, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Xingshuang's plump lower lip, which had two faint teeth marks from being bitten, almost greedily.
Looks very kissable.
Morality and desire are fighting in Ying Yuan's mind.
Gu Xingshuang's heart trembled, and under the influence of his self-protection mechanism, he turned his face away unnaturally, trying to escape.
Ying Yuan immediately grabbed his other empty hand and restrained him, completely cutting off his possibility of escape.
As a rehabilitation physician, Gu Xingshuang had very strong hands, but she still couldn't break free from Ying Yuan's restraints.
In other words, every time he tried to struggle, the darkness in Ying Yuan's eyes grew darker.
Ying Yuan was torn between his conscience and his desires in his mind.
On the one hand, he was angry at Gu Xingshuang for wanting to escape, but on the other hand, he felt an indescribable desire for Gu Xingshuang's constant struggle.
Gu Xingshuang was in the wrong and finally gave up resisting.
Ying Yuan squeezed his hand a little harder.
Gu Xingshuang frowned in pain, and Ying Yuan's hand loosened immediately, and he climbed up his shoulders and pulled him back to where he was.
When Gu Xingshuang saw his eyes fall on his chin, his heart trembled, thinking that Ying Yuan would pinch his chin.
Unexpectedly, Ying Yuan's hand finally fell and wrapped around his waist.
This time, the distance between them was even closer, and if Gu Xingshuang made the slightest movement, their skin would touch.
The palm of the big hand that fell on his waist and back was scorching hot, almost burning his skin through the thin clothes, and its presence was very strong.
Gu Xingshuang's face turned an unnatural red.
This posture is too much.
As slow as he was, he also sensed another inappropriate emotion in such a tense atmosphere.
This is so weird.
He was just about to say something.
However, before he could open his mouth, Ying Yuan withdrew his hand from his waist.
But he still blocked him and wouldn't let him leave.
Ying Yuan didn't dare to pinch Gu Xingshuang's chin, for fear that he would succumb to the temptation and kiss Gu Xingshuang's lips.
He could only settle for the next best thing and put his hand on Gu Xingshuang's waist.
Then he found the action even more ambiguous.
It’s also more convenient.
He only needed to use a little strength to pull the person into his arms.
Let him kiss, let him touch, let him do even more excessive things.
Before things became uncontrollable, Ying Yuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and let go of his hand.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Ying Yuan's face was already showing a bit of exhaustion: "Gu Xingshuang, don't run."
The strong and aggressive waves receded, revealing the soft sand underneath. Ying Yuan seemed to be really scared, his tone softened, and there was a hint of pleading in his expression that Gu Xingshuang could see at a glance.
Only those eyes still had a dark background.
Moreover, the dark color became thicker and thicker, like splashed ink, spreading out in circles, gently covering Gu Xingshuang's body and wrapping him up.
Gu Xingshuang did not understand the meaning of that dark color, and he deliberately ignored the strange feeling of being spied on.
This was the first time that Ying Yuan called him by his real name. The illusory relationship and feelings that had long been established on the virtual network truly sprouted at this moment, tightly entwining Gu Xingshuang and Ying Yuan.
Gu Xingshuang already felt guilty, and when he heard Ying Yuan say this, his heart softened immediately, and he said, "I won't run away."
Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't say anything, but this one action expressed his emotions very well.
Things have come to this point, and Gu Xingshuang's original plan to lose her temper, secretly do bad things to vent her emotions, and then pretend that nothing had happened no longer works.
The most important thing is that he looked at Ying Yuan, with a lonely expression as if he had been abandoned by him, and then listened to his aggrieved and restrained tone.
Gu Xingshuang knew that he was caught after all.
