Chapter 49 I Miss You
A second ago, Yue Qianling was still using his burning brain to think about how to make this statement.
But when he said the last two words with a long tail tone, the sound swept across his eardrums with a tingling sound, and Yue Qianling gave up struggling.
She looked up at Gu Xun and almost blurted out: "Who else do you want to seduce?"
After the words fell, Yue Qianling saw Gu Xun's eyes were deep, and then she realized what he said, so she turned away awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere at the moment, and then changed the subject and asked quickly: "You came here just to ask this? Then finish asking, I want to eat."
After she finished speaking, she was about to close the door. She was anxious and embarrassed, and her movements were a little hasty. She didn't even think of giving Gu Xun a chance to fight back.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Yue Qianling was about to close the door, he actually grabbed the door frame with his hand.
The difference in strength between the two was so great that Gu Xun was not afraid that Yue Qianling would hurt his fingers by closing the door. He pulled it out, and even Yue Qianling staggered.
But when Yue Qianling realized what happened, she was still shocked and her eyes widened: "Gu Xun, are you crazy? Do you still want your hand?"
The door had already been opened again. Gu Xun loosened his fingers and asked directly without answering her, "Would you like to go out with me?"
Yue Qianling was still in shock. She stared at his hands for a long time before moving her eyes to his face. "What are you doing?"
Gu Xunxiao raised his chin towards her and said, "I'll seduce you a little."
“…”
For the first time, Yue Qianling realized that Gu Xun knew his own advantages.
For example, at this moment, he is using his beauty to blatantly seduce people.
But Yue Qianling was still very proud to be hooked.
She seemed to be infected by him. She looked up at him and tried to look calm as she asked, "How do you seduce me?"
Gu Xun didn't expect her to take up this topic, and seemed to be stumped by the question. He glanced at the lights above his head, pretended to be thinking, and said, "Let's have lunch first, and then we'll see how to seduce her later."
Yue Qianling glanced at him, said nothing, and turned back to the room.
Five minutes later, she came out wearing a white dress.
After entering the elevator, Yue Qianling began to feel a little regretful, especially after she found that Gu Xun had been looking at her, the regret was almost overwhelming.
How come I can't handle it?
When someone suggested that they go have lunch together, she ran back and changed her skirt.
God knows how long it has been since she last wore a skirt.
Isn't this too obvious?
Yue Qianling wanted to slap herself, so she turned her head away secretly and pinched her palm hard.
At this moment, she heard Gu Xun suddenly speak.
"Qian Ling."
"Um."
Yue Qianling immediately put on a calm face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xun lowered his head and looked down, his eyes fell on the edge of her skirt.
"Your move is called... learning from the barbarians to defeat them?"
“…”
The blood rushed to his face, and Yue Qianling clearly felt his ears starting to heat up, and even his palms felt burning.
She thought that she might not be able to have a good lunch.
-
As it turned out, Yue Qianling's guess was correct.
The lunch was indeed not good, but the reason was that Gu Xun received a call from Xiaomai on the way.
Yue Qianling didn’t know what they said, but she felt that Gu Xun’s body pressure suddenly dropped, and even his brows wrinkled.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yue Qianling apologetically.
"What's up?"
Yue Qianling asked.
"Yeah, it was a call from Xiaomai."
Gu Xun was still holding his phone, glancing at the endless stream of cars on the roadside. "He said my dad fell down the stairs and is in the hospital now."
In fact, Xiaomai also described the situation at that time. When they heard the noise and went out to see, Gu Xun's father's face was covered in blood.
But Gu Xun didn't tell Yue Qianling these words.
Even so, Yue Qianling felt inexplicably depressed.
Gu Xun didn't say anything else and made another call.
No one answered the call, so his brows furrowed even more and he stared at the phone, wondering what he was thinking.
Yue Qianling didn't know where the impulse came from. She suddenly stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch his forehead.
Wanting to smooth out the heaviness on his brow.
The moment her fingertips touched his skin, Gu Xun froze.
Just last night, he was still thinking about how he would get agitated if Yue Qianling accidentally touched him.
But now, she took the initiative to reach out and touch his forehead, which not only did not make him agitated, but calmed him down.
However, Yue Qianling only touched it lightly and then withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly.
"So what do you do now?"
Gu Xun's face was heavy, he thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go back."
Yue Qianling nodded: "Well, then go quickly."
She didn't think too much about it at the time, thinking that Gu Xun's "I'll go back" meant just driving for a few hours.
But I didn't expect Gu Xun to open the ticket booking software immediately.
It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but Gu Xun was lucky enough to buy a flight ticket for three o'clock in the afternoon that day, and would arrive at six thirty in the evening.
The two of them had a quick lunch, during which Gu Xun didn't say much, and then they went straight to the airport.
There was no communication on the plane, so Gu Xun couldn't contact anyone and had no way of knowing his father's condition. He could only open his eyes, look at the clouds outside the window, and count the time second by second.
Unfortunately, it seemed as if God was against him. The plane encountered heavy fog when landing and circled in the sky for another half an hour.
At seven o'clock, thick clouds covered the sky and the whole city was plunged into foggy depression.
Gu Xun finally landed and turned on his phone, only to find several missed calls from Xiaomai. He became more and more anxious and immediately called his father, but again no one answered.
At this time, the cabin door had been opened and passengers were queuing in the aisle to get off the plane.
Gu Xun didn't bring any luggage and squeezed out empty-handed. During this time, he called Xiaomai back.
A few seconds later, Xiaomai picked up the phone.
Hearing some noise from his end, he asked, "Where are you? Why couldn't I get through to you when I called you just now?"
"On the plane."
As he was talking, Gu Xun had already walked out of the plane and onto the corridor. "How is my dad?"
"Oh, Uncle Lin is fine."
Xiaomai thought Gu Xun was on a business trip or a trip, and didn't think he was back, so she spoke in a more relaxed tone, "He just accidentally fell down when he was going downstairs, and his nose was bleeding. He reached out to touch it, and his face was covered in blood. We thought something was wrong."
"Then he sprained his ankle. He's applying some medicine. There's nothing else wrong with him. He wears less in the summer, so it's just some minor injuries. Don't worry, he's back home. He's fine."
While Xiaomai was talking, Gu Xun's pace had slowed down.
He stood at the busy exit and took a deep breath.
At eight o'clock, night begins to fall.
Gu Xun returned to the old neighborhood he had been away from for several years.
Ever since he left with Gu Yunping, if you count carefully, he hasn't been back for almost five years.
He held the old key in his hand and went upstairs with heavy steps.
In the past few years, he has met his father very few times, and has even less time to sit down and talk. They don't contact each other by phone on a regular basis. His knowledge of his current situation is almost entirely dependent on what Xiaomai and Luotuo mention in their casual chats. All he knows is that after his divorce, he has been completely free from all constraints and is living a much freer life than before.
Returning home suddenly under such circumstances, Gu Xun felt a bit homesick and didn't know what to say.
I don’t even know if his father has changed the locks in recent years, and whether he can still open this door.
Thinking of this, he still went up to the fourth floor.
The key entered the hole smoothly, and the moment the lock was turned, Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, he opened the door and saw the scene in front of him, and the leg he had just bought stopped in place.
The dim chandeliers in the living room were all on, and the sound of mahjong tiles colliding was crisp and loud. Lin Hongyi had his back to the door, sitting in the middle of the living room with three friends, smoking a cigarette and playing mahjong enthusiastically, laughing and cursing all the time, without noticing the person standing at the door.
It was not until a heavily made-up middle-aged woman sitting opposite Lin Hongyi won a hand and laughed with her head raised that he saw Gu Xun.
She tilted her head, and after a moment of surprise, she said, "Hey!" and shouted, "Hey! Xiaoxun is back?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyi also turned around, with his hand holding a card suspended in the air.
"Why did you come back so suddenly?"
There was a piece of gauze on Lin Hongyi's forehead, a red mark on his nose, his right foot was placed on a small stool, and his ankle was wrapped like a dumpling.
Even so, he never forgot his mahjong.
Gu Xun pursed his lips tightly and turned away as if he had seen something dirty.
Lin Hongyi didn't wait for Gu Xun's answer, and he played the card in his hand. Then he turned around and asked, "What are you doing standing there? Is the school on vacation? Why did you come back suddenly today?"
Gu Xun was standing by the door, watching this scene, and suddenly found it a little ridiculous.
Are you on holiday?
It turns out that I didn't even know he had graduated this year.
Gu Xun raised the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating arc, lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, there was no expression on his face.
"Come back to get something."
After saying that, he walked through the smoke-filled living room and headed towards his room.
Lin Hongyi couldn't understand why he suddenly wanted to take things again since he hadn't been back to live here for several years and had cleared out his things long ago.
So he shuffled the cards and shouted into the room, "Do you have anything left here?"
Amid the noisy sound of shuffling cards, Gu Xun closed the door of the room.
In the years since I left, the room seemed to have not changed at all, and there was no sign of the furniture being moved, except that the bed was no longer covered with sheets, and was instead filled with large boxes of miscellaneous items.
The desk was also filled with messy bags and covered in dust.
He stood in the room for a while, and after a few minutes, he walked out empty-handed.
"What did you forget?"
Seeing Gu Xun coming out, Lin Hongyi followed him with his eyes, but he did not forget to play with the cards in his hands, "Did you find it?"
Gu Xun said "not found" without even looking at Lin Hongyi, and walked straight towards the gate.
"Hey, you're leaving now?"
Lin Hongyi felt that his son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came back for no apparent reason, and wanted to stand up to stop him, but he was injured.
By the time he stood up on one leg, Gu Xun had already closed the door.
"Oh, the child has a bad temper as he grows up. Look at how he speaks so coldly."
"Sons are like this, otherwise why do people say people like daughters nowadays? They are so caring."
"Isn't Xiaoxun in Jiangcheng? Why is he back today? What's going on?"
Amid the chatter of his friends, Lin Hongyi sat down again, put his cards aside, and said incoherently, "Don't worry about it. He has been like this since he was a child. I'm used to it."
-
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Yue Qianling's line drawing had taken shape.
She glanced at the time and didn't know whether Gu Xun was still in the hospital or how serious his father's condition was.
After hesitating for a while, Yue Qianling decided to ask him.
As soon as I picked up the phone, as if by telepathy, the message he had just sent popped up on WeChat.
【School Prince】: Are you asleep?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: No, how is your father?
【School Prince】: It’s okay.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】：That’s good.
She paused with her finger on the screen, thinking about what to say next.
But before she could type, Gu Xun sent another message.
[School Prince]: Is there a moon in Jiangcheng tonight?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: No, it rained tonight.
As soon as I sent it, he called me.
Yue Qianling answered the call without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xun's somewhat depressed voice came from the receiver.
“Without the moon, it’s okay to just listen to your voice.”
Yue Qianling's eyes flickered as she stared at the avatar on her phone and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"That's right," he said solemnly, "I missed you."
