Wu Tianping still saw no emotion on Gu Juncheng's face. Under the dim street lights, Gu Juncheng's eyes were like a dark pool filled with stagnant water, without any movement.
"Do you know what you are talking about, kid?" Wu Tianping's anger was directed at Liang Jiaqi.
"I know!" Liang Jiaqi smiled and raised the bag in his hand, "Sister Pingzi just made some sweet soup for me to take back."
"you……"
Wu Tianping really wanted to beat Liang Jiaqi this time. He raised his fist, but was stopped by Gu Juncheng, "Tianping."
Gu Juncheng stretched out his hand to block his fist.
“Old Gu!” Wu Tianping was so angry that he wanted to die. The green light was shining on his head, but Old Gu was still so calm?
"Brother Chengzi, Brother Tianping, I'm leaving." Liang Jiaqi shook the bag in his hand and got into the car.
Wu Tianping stared at Gu Juncheng, waiting for his explanation.
However, Gu Juncheng walked past him and went straight to his sister's house.
Wu Tianping looked at his back and felt like he was going to vomit blood. He yelled, "I don't care about you anymore!"
Turned around and went home.
I'm so angry!
Instead of suffering this kind of anger here, I might as well go home and be beaten by his sister!
Gu Juncheng, reeking of alcohol, pushed open the door of Gu Youlian's house.
Seeing him like this, Gu Youlian was not happy, "Have you had enough to drink? If not, your brother-in-law has left a few bottles of wine at home. I'll get them out for you."
Xiaomai pulled at her mother's clothes and said, "Mom, don't let uncle drink anymore. Didn't you tell my dad that drinking too much is bad for the body?"
After hearing what Xiaomai said, Gu Youlian felt embarrassed to confront her brother in front of the child, so she turned and went into the kitchen to make some sobering soup.
This is a method she has only learned in the past two years.
In the past, back home, there was no need for so many rules. After drinking, the men would brag and go home to sleep. Why would they need to drink sobering soup? Moreover, Du Gen didn't drink alcohol at all at that time, so she didn't even know there was such a thing.
But in recent years, Du Gen has become the backbone of the garment factory. When discussing business outside, he has to drink. The method of making the sobering soup was taught to her by Lin Qingping. When she was with Du Gen, she made it for Du Gen to drink. However, they were together less and less after all.
When she finished making the soup and came out, she saw her brother sitting on a chair with his head against the wall and his eyes closed. He looked very depressed, and her heart couldn't help but soften.
"Come, drink the soup." She took his brother's hand and handed the soup to his bowl.
She was really worried.
Her younger brother had always been taciturn, and she had never known what he was thinking since he was young. After he went out to join the army at the age of 18, she saw him less than once a year. He became even more distant and had even less to talk about.
Gu Juncheng followed her wishes and drank all the soup, then put the bowl down and prepared to go back to his room.
"Stop right there!" Gu Youlian called out to him.
Gu Juncheng stopped in his tracks.
"Tell me clearly today what's going on between you and Pingzi?" Gu Youlian didn't take sides. The two of them were in a really bad situation. They should live their own lives. She was still his sister, and she was still Pingzi's sister. As long as both of them were fine, she had nothing to say. But she couldn't bear to see the current situation. They were both like wilted melons. What were they trying to do?
After hearing what she said, Gu Juncheng said nothing and continued walking.
"Gu Gousheng!" Gu Youlian suddenly shouted loudly.
Gu Juncheng: …
This was the nickname his family called him when he was a child. After he started school, his teacher said that this name was not good, so his parents asked the teacher to give him a name, and that’s how the current Gu Juncheng came to be.
"If you don't explain yourself clearly to me today, our relationship as siblings will be over! Don't ever enter my house again!" Gu Youlian even called him "Gu Gousheng", which showed how angry she was.
"Didn't you see clearly what happened?" he said.
Gu Youlian became even angrier, "What did I see clearly? What I saw was that there was no hope for you and Pingzi, and Liang Jiaqi wanted to be with her! And you drank like a sick chicken! Is that right?"
Well, he didn't answer her again and prepared to go upstairs.
"If that's the case, it's good too. Liang Jiaqi is an enthusiastic guy, his family is rich, and most importantly, he has a good personality and says whatever he thinks. Unlike you, you can't say a word even if you hit you with three sticks!" Gu Youlian shouted at his back.
What answered her was the sound of the door slamming after Gu Juncheng entered the room.
He closed the door.
Gu Youlian could only stare at the door angrily.
After a while, the door opened again, and he leaned half of his body out, "Are you really going to watch him?"
Gu Youlian was stunned for a moment. Who is it?
In a flash, she understood and asked, "Where is Liang Jiaqi?"
He sneered, "Of course I am good, I am ten thousand times better than you, you are considerate and caring!"
Then with a bang, the door closed again.
Gu Youlian glared at him: You deserve it!
"Xiaomi, come here, it's time to take a bath and go to bed." Gu Youlian called her daughter.
At this time, Lin Qingping and Zhiyuan were also preparing to rest, but Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something and took something out of his schoolbag, "Mom, this is for you."
Lin Qingping took a look and saw that it was a cloth bag that was not even as big as her palm, with the words "a certain palace" printed on it.
This became a very famous temple many years later, and it was also the place where she wanted to burn the first incense during the Chinese New Year.
"What is it?" she asked, pinching it.
"My father Gu gave it to me this morning and asked me to give it to you." Zhiyuan looked at her eagerly and said.
Lin Qingping frowned and opened the small cloth bag. Inside was a dark red talisman with the word "peace" written on it.
"Gu Juncheng gave it to me?" She was a little bit unconvinced. Gu Juncheng didn't believe in ghosts or gods.
"Yes!" Zhiyuan nodded, "Xiaomi and Aunt Zhao were here this morning. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Sister Zhao came out just in time and interrupted, "Yes, I sent them both this morning. Captain Gu gave it to Zhiyuan and asked him to give it to you. He also told Zhiyuan to be filial to you."
Lin Qingping frowned and muttered, "Stop doing this. Go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow!"
"Oh, okay." Zhiyuan also took a book from the bookshelf and planned to read it before going to bed.
"Don't watch while lying down, and don't watch too late!" Lin Qingping couldn't help but say.
"Got it!" Zhiyuan agreed as he ran upstairs.
Lin Qingping was going back to school the next day, and she planned to walk slowly there with the help of a cane.
The doctor said that she shouldn't be lazy or afraid of walking, and she needs to practice more.
So, she got up very early, because she would definitely walk slowly and had to leave enough time for her to dawdle.
She didn't even tell Sister Zhao and Zhiyuan, she just planned to go by herself. She had to go by herself!
So, when she opened the door and went out, it was still dark, and she met Gu Juncheng at the gate of the courtyard.
She was standing in the yard, and Gu Juncheng passed by outside the yard. The two stopped and stood facing each other.
Lin Qingping didn't drink last night, so she remembered every detail of what happened last night clearly. She just didn't know if he, who drank one drink after another last night, still remembered it.
Now, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of alcohol in them.
They were silent for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Good morning."
