When Xie Luyu first entered the entertainment industry, he showed extraordinary talent in language and sense of humor, and all variety shows were happy to invite him.
If Xie Luyu is willing, chatting with Xie Luyu would be a very comfortable thing.
Not to mention that when the target was Gu Qingchi, Xie Luyu was completely mobilized.
From time to time, he would throw the topic to Gu Qingchi, letting him think and join in the conversation. Gu Qingchi was led into one interesting little anecdote after another by his vivid narration, and then gradually calmed down and forgot his anxiety.
Around four in the morning, Gu Qingchi fell asleep unknowingly. He lay on the edge of the bed with his face against the soft quilt, his hands on the sides of his face, and his cell phone next to him.
He slept until eleven o'clock in the morning, and was still chatting with Xie Luyu in his dream. When Gu Qingchi woke up, he still thought he was chatting with Xie Luyu and said something in a daze.
"I want to eat plain noodles, too."
Xie Luyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then let's eat it another day."
Only then did Gu Qingchi finally wake up completely.
It is now past eleven o'clock in the morning. Xie Luyu has not hung up the phone since the evening. After a while, Gu Qingchi replied.
"Well, let's eat some other time."
"You didn't eat breakfast, so don't eat anything too exciting for lunch."
Xie Luyu paused after he finished speaking.
"I was revising the script yesterday, and I thought you could still accompany me, so I didn't hang up."
Xie Luyu was afraid that Gu Qingchi’s phone bill had run out, so he topped up his phone bill.
"Well, is it finished now?"
"I'm done. I'm hungry. Go eat something and take a nap. You should also go eat. I slept through breakfast. Don't forget to go eat plain noodles with us another day."
Gu Qingchi hummed, and then there was silence. Both of them were waiting for the other to hang up the phone. It was Xie Luyu who spoke first, half-jokingly.
"Xiao Gu, hang up now, or you'll run out of phone credit later."
Gu Qingchi hummed again. He hesitated for a moment, whispered something, and then quickly hung up the phone.
Xie Luyu held up the cell phone and was stunned when he heard the busy tone. After a while, he jumped up from the sofa, as excited as a dog that had bitten a thrown stick.
Gu Qingchi just said, I will miss you.
Father Gu pressed his solar plexus and looked a little tired.
Mrs. Gu glanced at him while peeling the pomelo.
"What's wrong? You haven't been in a very good mood recently. If you can't get up in the morning, don't get up. Just sleep in and be lazy. If there's anything else, let Gu Xie do it first."
Gu Xie coughed nearby and was kicked by Madam Gu, who glanced at him.
"Let's talk it over."
Gu Xie was suppressed easily, and the tall and strong man looked a little pitiful at this moment.
"My throat is a little uncomfortable..."
Gu Qingchi, who was standing next to him, felt an itchy throat and tried hard to hold it back. Finally, he couldn't help coughing. Mrs. Gu turned around and asked about his health.
"Hey, Chichi, drink some honey water later. I'll cut a pear and eat some of the flesh."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she went to get the pears. The refrigerator specifically for fruits was not there, so Father Gu also stood up and followed Mrs. Gu, and said casually before leaving.
"Xiao Xie, for the meeting tomorrow, I'll have my secretary contact you and give you the information."
Tomorrow's meeting was originally for Gu's father.
Only Gu Xie and Gu Qingchi were left in the living room. They looked at each other, and after two or three seconds, they both burst into laughter.
Father Gu has been a little depressed lately.
He always dreams after falling asleep at night, but forgets everything after waking up. It's nothing, as people will only remember most of their dreams for a short while after waking up and then forget them. But he vaguely feels that the things he forgets are very important, and he always feels a sense of loss when he wakes up.
Maybe I'm really tired, so I should take a rest for a while.
He thought.
…
The garden is full of blooming roses and lush plants that are taller than people.
This is his home, but not entirely, because it is somewhat different from what Gu's father remembers.
Father Gu could clearly realize that he was dreaming.
The sound of children laughing and shouting could be heard nearby, and then a teenager emerged from between the lush branches that were two people tall.
Gu's father recognized him. That was Gu Xie when he was a teenager.
The originally cold and hard lines on Gu's father's face softened a little unconsciously, revealing a barely visible smile.
Until the dense vegetation shook twice, and a beautiful child of eight or nine years old ran out from it. His face had the rosy color unique to children of this age, his skin was white, his eyes were bright, and his smile was brilliant. He chased Gu Xie lively, calling Gu Xie loudly, dragging out the last tone, which sounded like he was acting coquettishly.
"Brother, please slow down~"
The smile on Gu's father's face froze. The child's eyebrows and eyes were clearly those of Gu Qingchi when he was young.
Father Gu instinctively moved closer, but it was not until the eight or nine-year-old children, smiling, holding their own little balls, passed through his body that he realized that he could not touch them and could do nothing about it.
The scene quickly changed, this time on the basketball court upstairs at home. Both of them were a little older, both wearing jerseys, with tiny beads of shiny sweat on their foreheads and faces because of the exercise.
Father Gu looked down and found that he was also wearing a jersey and had a basketball in his hand.
They all looked at Father Gu, and both children opened their arms as if they wanted to join forces to stop their father.
The body moved automatically, dodging, passing, jumping, and shooting.
Several movements were completed in one go. When the basketball hit the floor heavily, Father Gu turned around. Then the two young boys ran over. The smaller boy, relying on his short stature, pounced on Father Gu and hung on him.
The older boy was very competitive and pursed his lips. Even though he was still growing and was not as tall as an adult, he did not make excuses for himself and was always thinking about surpassing his father.
"Dad, do it again and teach me how you passed me just now."
The younger children were clingy and didn't mind being defeated easily. They flattered others with all their heart.
"Dad is so awesome~"
After flattering others, he still doesn't forget to ask for benefits for himself.
"Chichi wants to eat ice cream~"
Father Gu instinctively wanted to respond to him - you can only eat half, no more.
His lips moved, but before he could speak, everything in front of him disappeared again, and then reassembled into a new scene.
This time it was on the stairs at home.
The sound of a piano could be heard faintly from upstairs. Father Gu looked up, slowly walked up the stairs and came to the piano room.
The door of the piano room was half-open, and the young man inside was jumping on the piano keys with his hands nimbly. The sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making his profile look particularly gentle. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood seemed to be as joyful as the notes flowing from his fingers.
Father Gu had this dream for a long, long time, and when he woke up this time, he had not forgotten it.
It was midnight when he woke up. Father Gu quietly took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then quietly closed the door. He leaned on the balcony and enjoyed the night breeze, holding the cigarette but not lighting it.
It was so real. The real Father Gu vaguely felt that he had not actually missed twenty years of his young son's life, and that this was a mistake.
At this moment, unknown to everyone, the world is operating like a sophisticated instrument.
[The safety period has expired, and the safety program is completely shut down. ]
Because the security program has been shut down, the anomaly will not be corrected, so that a little bit of the original truth will leak out from under the false performance.
