☆, Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Gu Qingyue's apartment only had one bedroom. Song Xiaoshu naturally rested on the sofa in the living room. Gu Qingyue placed two high-heeled glasses and a noodle bowl directly in the sink. She turned on the faucet, and after the sink filled with water, she no longer had the heart to wash the dishes.
She turned off the living room lights, returned to the bedroom, washed up briefly, and then lay down. Gu Qingyue, still awake, clicked on her phone. Gu Simin had sent her a message this morning, saying they would arrive in London at nine o'clock the next day. Gu Qingyue stared at the message, feeling a strange sense of guilt.
The next day, she woke up and walked out of the bedroom. Song Xiaoshu was still sound asleep. He was tall, and his arms and legs were somewhat restrained on the sofa. They had been drinking until the early hours of the night, so it was already past eight when they woke up. Gu Qingyue poured a glass of water and drank it slowly. Song Xiaoshu, lying on the sofa, remained in the same position he had fallen asleep the night before. He slept beautifully. Only after she finished her glass of water did he wake up.
He raised his hand and rubbed his cheek. His action was quite childish. Gu Qingyue smiled. He looked up at her and asked, "What time is it?"
Gu Qingyue put down her cup, turned on her phone on the dining table, and said, "Nine o'clock."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It wasn't the doorbell, but the door. Gu Qingyue guessed that it was Gu Simin and the others who had arrived. As it turned out, her guess was correct.
Outside the door, Gu Simin said with a smile: "Surprise!"
Next to Gu Simin was Gu Hengsheng, who was wearing a black woolen coat with a brown turtleneck sweater underneath, which made him look taller and more slender, and his face looked more handsome.
Gu Qingyue also smiled and said, "Should I say welcome?"
"That's not necessary." Gu Simin said.
Gu Qingyue let Gu Simin and Gu Hengsheng in. At this time, Song Xiaoshu came out of the bathroom. Gu Simin opened her mouth into an O shape, looked at Gu Qingyue, and then looked at Song Xiaoshu.
Song Xiaoshu looked calm and said, "Hi, long time no see." Then he greeted Gu Hengsheng, "Third Uncle Gu."
Gu Hengsheng nodded slightly in response.
Song Xiaoshu went into the bathroom again. Gu Simin stared at Song Xiaoshu's back and quietly approached Gu Qingyue, curiously asking, "Tell me honestly, are you two in a relationship?"
Gu Hengsheng opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water. His eyes fell on the cake paper plate in the trash can next to the refrigerator. Gu Hengsheng was stunned for a moment. He took a sip of water and slowly tightened the bottle cap.
Gu Qingyue said: "No, we are just friends. Last night was his birthday and I was just celebrating it for him."
Gu Simin didn't believe it and said, "You're even celebrating his birthday. I think you two will become boyfriend and girlfriend sooner or later."
Gu Hengsheng didn't stay long. After sitting for a while, he was called away by a phone call.
Gu Simin sat on the carpet, opened a bag of potato chips, and said, "Qingyue, when will you return home?"
"It will take a few more days." Gu Qingyue sat on the carpet, working on a final group assignment. Her laptop was placed on the sofa. The height was just right, allowing her to sit comfortably without getting back pain from sitting for too long.
Gu Simin suddenly sighed and said, "My father's health is getting worse and worse. I'm not cursing him, but it feels like he doesn't have much time left."
Gu Qingyue recalled the last time she talked with her mother about the old man's condition. She remembered that her mother said that he could no longer distinguish who was who. She asked Gu Simin if that was true.
Gu Simin nodded and said angrily, "The last time I went to see him, he mistook me for my mother. However, after he forgot about me, his expression wasn't as serious as before."
Gu Qingyue felt the same way. Although she and Old Man Gu were grandfather and grandson, they really didn't have much affection for each other. She only remembered that every time she saw him as a child, he seemed to be angry.
After spending three days in London, Gu Simin flew to Australia, saying that a friend had invited her over. Gu Qingyue deliberately teased her and asked if the friend was a boy or a girl. Gu Simin smiled and said, "Guess."
In the following days, Gu Qingyue began to concentrate on reviewing for the exam.
She spent almost every day in the library. When Song Xiaoshu called to ask her out, Gu Qingyue dismissed him with a "I don't have time." Song Xiaoshu jokingly asked, "What's going on? Do you want to get an A+ in every subject?"
This lasted for half a month, finally ending the days of studying. On the second day of the holiday, Gu Qingyue and Song Xiaoshu boarded a flight to Macau.
Song Xiaoyu came to pick up the two of them. In the car, Song Xiaoyu warmly invited Gu Qingyue to live in her home, but Gu Qingyue politely declined. Song Xiaoyu did not give up and urged Song Xiaoshu: "Brother, please help me persuade her."
Song Xiaoshu poured cold water on her: "She has already booked a hotel, so please stop trying to persuade her."
Song Xiaoyu slumped his shoulders and said, "I'm so disappointed."
Song Xiaoshu demolished her stage: "That's enough, don't keep going on."
Song Xiaoshu sent Gu Qingyue to the hotel where she was staying. Song Xiaoyu wanted to get out of the car, but Song Xiaoshu stopped her: "Okay, we just got back from the plane and need to rest for a while. Don't join in the fun."
Hearing this, Song Xiaoyu didn't get out of the car. Instead, he smiled and said to Gu Qingyue, "Qingyue, I won't be going up then. I'll come find you for dinner later."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
Gu Qingyue, carrying her suitcase, went to the front desk to check in. After receiving her room card, she turned and headed for the elevator. Her room was on the sixth floor. As she stepped out of the elevator, the thick, soft carpet faded into the air, even the sound of her suitcase's wheels rolling.
I took out the room card, put it on the sensor, and the door opened.
Gu Qingyue placed her suitcase in a corner and lay down on the clean, white bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mother called, asking if she had arrived in Macau. Gu Qingyue had told her mother that she would spend a few days in Macau before returning to Huai City. Her mother hadn't said anything else, only asking her to call her when she returned to Huai City and she would pick her up at the airport.
Gu's mother could tell that she was not in good spirits, so she hung up the phone without talking for long.
Gu Qingyue set the alarm before going to bed, and at 3:00 in the afternoon, the alarm on her phone rang on time. Gu Qingyue took out her phone from under her pillow, turned off the alarm, and then got up, took clothes from her suitcase, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a hot shower, she felt much more refreshed. When Song Xiaoyu rang the doorbell, Gu Qingyue had just dried her hair and went to open the door.
Song Xiaoyu said, "I was worried you weren't awake yet, so I called you. Why didn't you answer?"
Gu Qingyue walked to the bedside, rescued the phone from under the quilt, turned on the screen, and saw that there was a missed call from Song Xiaoyu five minutes ago.
Gu Qingyue said: "I was taking a shower just now and didn't hear any sound."
Song Xiaoyu: "Let's go, my brother is waiting downstairs."
"Okay, wait for me for a moment."
"Yeah." Song Xiaoyu suddenly looked at Gu Qingyue and said seriously, "Qingyue, are you dating my brother?"
Gu Qingyue was stunned. After a moment, she explained, "No, we are just friends."
"Friends? I thought my brother went to study in London because of you." Song Xiaoyu said.
The author has something to say: It will have a sweet ending, don't worry, all the necessary love scenes will be there.
