Gu Qi was never a heavy drinker, and half a glass of liquor still had one third left. He sobered up and advised Liu Qi not to drink any more.
Liu Xiaoge pouted with grievance: "Lao Guo also gave me a bottle last time, and I drank it up in a few gulps just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng. When Lao Guo found out later, he scolded me for wasting God's gift, so he is reluctant to give it to me now."
Gu Qi chuckled, "Old Guo is afraid that you'll get drunk and mess up things. This wine is so strong that you'll be tipsy after a few glasses. How can you finish it all at once? You won't be drunk for several days, will you?"
"Ah..." Liu Xiaohe couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "I was in a bad mood at that time, and I was alone all day. I couldn't put the cup down after picking it up."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "At the branch factory, right?"
"Yeah." Liu Xiao explained: "I just stayed at the branch factory and never came back."
At this time, Chen Xingling brought a kettle of boiling water from the kitchen, helped to boil the water, and handed over two long-handled kettles.
"The soup isn't too spicy. Have a few sips of hot soup to warm you up."
Gu Qi looked at his wife tenderly and said softly, "Xing'er, are you tired today? Why don't you go and rest first?"
"Not tired." Chen Xingling chuckled, "I usually go to bed around nine or ten o'clock, but I'm not sleepy at all now. The stove is boiling water, so you can take a comfortable hot bath later before you rest."
Gu Qi felt warm in his heart and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that the couple cared for each other and were so sweet that others envied them, Liu couldn't help but think of the person in his heart. Perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Chen Xingling felt a little embarrassed, fearing that he would be embarrassed, so he quietly stepped away and returned to the kitchen to wait for the water on the stove.
She didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but it was late at night and Liu Yu's voice was always clear and loud, so even if she hid in the kitchen, she could still hear it clearly.
Gu Qi was secretly surprised and couldn't help asking, "Brother Liu, are you sad about something?"
"...It's always the 27th day of the lunar calendar!" Liu Xiaohe said with a slightly hoarse voice, "It was the same day when she left! She left on a car... She just left like that! It's been a whole day... She didn't give me any news... I don't even know where she went."
Gu Qi was confused by what he heard, and as he was not good at expressing his emotions, he spoke stiffly.
"It's all in the past, don't think about it anymore."
Liu Xiao excitedly slammed the table and shouted, "How can I not think about it! I have forced myself not to think about it! But I can't do it! It's me! I am sorry for her! I let her down so much, otherwise she wouldn't have left in the end!"
Gu Qi stood there in a daze. After he came to his senses, he carefully brushed the meat and poured wine for the other party.
"Brother Liu, eat and continue drinking."
Liu Xiao drank another cup in one gulp and let out a long and refreshing "Ah..."
"Aqi, we are such good friends that I dare to drink with you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't want to and wouldn't dare to, for fear that I would lose control of my emotions once I drink, or that I would say something wrong after drinking. It's only today that I dare to drink like this. It's because... because today is so special..."
Seeing that the cup was empty again, Gu Qi carefully filled it up again.
"Brother Liu, keep drinking."
Liu 圥㹓 raised his eyes and glared at him, then asked depressedly: "Aqi, do you know what I envy you most?"
"Huh?" Gu Qi was confused.
Liu Xiao's hand suddenly rested heavily on his shoulder and his other hand shook.
"It's not your talent and cleverness, nor your ability to draw drawings that I can't even understand, but - your little family."
Gu Qi smiled slightly and did not comment.
Liu Xiaoge was obviously half drunk, and what he said was half true and half false. He didn't want to talk too much with the drunkard, so as to save his breath and chat with his wife later about the latest situation at home.
Liu Xiaoge continued, "You have a loving wife and a cute and smart son. What I envy the most is your warm and loving family. If there are no accidents or too many illnesses, people will only live for 70 years. How come some people can live so well and so happily, while some people can't... and even have to live in pain all their lives."
"It's all over." Gu Qi scooped half a bowl of hot soup for him and reminded him, "It's a little hot, drink it later."
Liu Xiaohe pretended not to hear and murmured, "It's over? What's over? The old man is finally over, but I'm gone. The old man is entangled, and I've been waiting and enduring for so long. The old man blames me for being ruthless, and I also blame me for being ruthless. I can't break up with the old man, I don't want to let him down, but in the end I can only let him down, and in the end I'm not letting the old man down, and I'm not letting him down. In this life, I believe I'm worthy of the heaven and earth, and the father, and the co-workers and brothers around me, but I can't let down those who love me and those I love."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and urged: "Drink the soup."
These words sounded like a tongue twister. If he didn't have an excellent memory and could understand the general idea, others would definitely think he was drunk and talking nonsense.
Liu Xie did not drink the soup, but picked up the wine glass in front of him again and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Qi couldn't help but persuade: "Drink slowly."
It seems that even after the divorce, Brother Liu is still unhappy. He may have missed someone very important.
Liu 圥㹓 shook his head, looked at the empty wine glass, and couldn't help but urged: "Aqi, what are you doing? Are you reluctant to let me drink the good wine? Hurry up and pour the wine!"
Gu Qi looked at the bottle of wine which was almost empty, feeling a little amused and helpless, but he still obediently poured him another glass.
"It's not that I can't bear it, it's that you can't drink too fast."
Liu Xiao sighed softly and whispered, "Aqi, what do you think I should do?"
"What should I do?" Gu Qi calmly ate a hot tomato and said, "Go to work, eat and drink. No matter what happens, life has to go on."
After hearing this, Liu Xie looked at him with a melancholy and aggrieved look.
"Am I not like this now? Am I not working well? Am I not living a good life?"
Gu Qi nodded perfunctorily, not wanting to argue with the drunkard.
"Yes, so you did a good job."
Liu Yu's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "I... no matter how well I do, no one will appreciate it... she's gone, and I can't find her again."
"Hmm." Gu Qi continued to eat.
Liu Xiaoge narrowed his eyes and stared at him, asking: "Do you know where she is? Do you know?"
"I don't know." Gu Qi was in a very happy mood as he ate the delicious noodles and beef.
Beef was hard to buy. Even though the shipyard was a large company canteen, we could only eat beef two or three times a day, and then only a few pieces.
I never thought that Xing'er could cut the beef into such thin strips. It was cooked immediately after being put into the pan. It was tender and smooth and tasted extremely good!
After being on a business trip for more than half a month, this is the first time I have eaten such a sumptuous meal - it feels so good to be home!
Liu Yu's mood couldn't be worse: "You are so smart, how could you not know? Did you deliberately not tell me?"
"Yeah." Gu Qi continued eating and responded perfunctorily.
Liu Xiao was angry and asked with a gloomy face: "Why? Why can't she give me a little more time? I told her that I still need time, and I can't make any promises to her. Since she can wait for me for so many days, why did she have to wait for a few months? Can't she wait a few more months?"
Gu Qi said "Oh" and immersed himself in eating happily.
"Bang!" Liu Yu suddenly slapped the table, stared at Gu Qi and asked, "Why do you say that? Why don't you tell me?"
Gu Qi looked confused and had no idea how to answer.
Liu Xiao urged in a deep voice: "Hurry up and tell me!"
Gu Qi: “…”
Liu Xiaobi asked with red eyes: "Why? Why? You can wait for me for so long, why can't you wait for a few more months? Why?!!"
Gu Qi was extremely embarrassed and looked around for help.
"Um... didn't you ask her? I don't know her, how would I know why."
Liu Xiaoge couldn't help but complain: "You only know your wife! You only know her! You don't even look at other women!"
Gu Qi asked as a matter of course: "Is there anything wrong?"
Liu Xiaoge shouted: "You have seen her!"
Gu Qi: “…”? ? ?
