In a burst of rapid breathing, Gu Bao opened his eyes. The heartbeat was fast, indicating that it was a bad dream, and the residual panic stayed at the junction of the dream and reality for a long time.
The quality of his sleep was poor. He woke up from time to time, and when he got up, he looked out the window, and there was just a little purple-gray light on the horizon.
Today is the first time he has to go out since he was detained for a month. He is going to see Tang Yumei.
The last time we met, he and Tang Yumei talked about moving out. In the past month, he had made several phone calls with Tang Yumei, making excuses for not going to the hospital to fool him.
He originally thought that it was absolutely impossible for him to go out, but Pei Ting offered to take him out.
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Bao was watching TV. Since Pei Ting said that to him after that night, the two of them have not communicated anymore.
Gu Bao didn't break the jar and fall like before, and Pei Ting didn't want to talk to him.
The two became cold, like a pair of unrelated roommates living under the eaves together.
Hearing Pei Ting's suggestion, Gu Bao stopped his hand to switch channels and did not speak.
Gu Bao thought a lot about this proposal. Does this mean to let him go?
Gu Bao rubbed the corners of his stinging eyes and opened the window. The gray-blue sky makes people feel depressed and dull.
He didn't pack his bags and couldn't tell whether it made him feel relieved or sad that he could leave. If it was said that he couldn't sort out his thoughts last night, then this mood today fully shows that he is definitely not how happy he is.
Gu Bao opened the closet and looked at the clothes in that row. He didn't choose what Pei Ting arranged, but took out his own clothes and put them on.
Going downstairs and opening the refrigerator, Gu Bao decided to take the initiative to make a breakfast. Although I don't know if it's good for them to get together or not, but Gu Bao didn't want to do nothing in the last time he and Pei Ting were separated.
It's ridiculous to say that he once cooked a bowl of ginger Coke for Pei Ting, and Pei Ting drank it very cherishly. He said that there is no need for this, and he can cook other things for Pei Ting to eat in the future.
But in fact, he never cooked again, and Pei Ting only drank that bowl of Ginger Coke.
The water boiled, and the noodles were put in the pot. Gu Bao simply put two bowls of noodles, and gave Pei Ting an extra egg and a few slices of ham. Looking at the noodles with clear soup and little water, it was not rich, as if the things he could give to Pei Ting were always so pitiful.
Footsteps came from the stairs. Pei Ting went downstairs wearing a tie. He was stunned when he saw him in the kitchen. It was not until Gu Bao brought his face out that Pei Ting said, "You don't think I'll let you go today, do you?"
Gu Baoduan With a dumbfounded voice, Pei Ting pulled out his chair and sat down: "Today, I'm just taking you to see Auntie. If I disappoint you, I'm sorry." The
two bowls of noodles were placed on the table. Ting left the apparently richer bowl to Gu Bao, and quickly ate the other bowl by himself.
Gu Bao didn't know what to say. He could only say that he was in a mood at this time. There was no disappointment, but rather a sigh of relief.
But he certainly wouldn't let Pei Ting see his useless mentality. He pretended to be calm and looked at the poached egg that was specially fried for Pei Ting in the bowl. He hesitated for a long time, whether he wanted to give Pei Ting it.
Unexpectedly, his behavior gave Pei Ting wrong information. Pei Ting gave him a few glances: "Disappointed, can't even eat the noodles?"
"..." Not so, Gu Bao found that Pei Ting was also very good at making up his mind. .
Pei Ting: "If you can't eat it, let's eat some." After speaking, Pei Ting got up, took away the bowl with only soup left, and put it in the sink.
Gu Bao's poached egg was never sent out.
In the car to the hospital, Gu Bao leaned against the window to look out the window the whole time. In fact, there was nothing to see, he was locked up for a month, and he didn't immediately feel how worth watching the scenery outside.
In fact, he spent most of the time looking at Pei Ting through the reflection in the window.
People are always contradictory. When he was at home, he didn't want to see Pei Ting more. He had already come out, so he secretly looked at people, and he didn't know what his state of mind was.
Has Pei Ting lost some weight? The lines on his profile seem to be a little more obvious. When will Pei Ting let him go, before or after the engagement?
He is so uncooperative, which makes Pei Ting unhappy every time. Pei Ting is not a self-abuse person, why should he keep him by his side.
Maybe he won't be able to stand it any time soon, let him go.
While thinking about it, when the hospital arrived, Pei Ting brought flowers and fruit baskets to visit Tang Yumei. Tang Yumei has a good impression of Pei Ting, looks good, and doesn't look like a patient anymore.
As a son, Gu Bao has little room to play next to him. He could only sit next to him silently and peel Tang Yumei's oranges. He only peeled two oranges in total, one for Tang Yumei and one for Pei Ting.
Pei Ting glanced at him in surprise, Gu Bao frowned, just as he was about to take the orange back, Pei Ting took the orange and ate a piece.
Tang Yumei leaned on the head of the hospital bed and repeated the old saying: "Xiao Pei, you are already twenty-six-seven, are you looking for a girlfriend?"
Hearing this, Gu Bao's face became tense, and Pei Ting replied naturally, "Don't worry."
Tang Yumei sighed: "Our baby, if it weren't for these things, baby and Jiao..."
"Mom!" Gu Bao interrupted Tang Yumei loudly, and before the person made a big mistake, he quickly said: "Okay. , don't worry about this, I'm only twenty-three, Brother Pei is not in a hurry, what am I in a hurry?"
Pei Ting didn't answer this, Tang Yumei didn't want to make trouble with her son who came here rarely, so she had to change the topic, no more mention this.
The sun was good, so Gu Bao went downstairs for a walk with Tang Yumei. Pei Ting did not go down together, but stayed in the ward.
Gu Bao and Tang Yumei strolled around, and when they returned, there was no one in the ward.
Gu Bao was stunned for a while, and Tang Yumei said, "Xiao Pei is so busy, maybe she went back beforehand."
He nodded reluctantly, helped Tang Yumei to bed, and then came out of the ward.
As soon as he left the ward, he hurried to the nurse's counter and asked if anyone had seen Pei Ting.
Pei Ting is so tall and handsome, and the nurses are very impressed. It was said that not long after Gu Bao accompanied Tang Yumei downstairs, the gentleman left.
gone? Gu Bao was flustered when he heard it, didn't he just come to take him to see his mother today, why did he leave suddenly? He doesn't have the password of Pei Ting's house, how can he go back?
Gu Bao walked around the hospital a few times, wondering if Pei Ting had gone to the cafeteria, and even went to the cafeteria on purpose. After looking around, he was sure that Pei Ting did not stay in the hospital, and Pei Ting left.
Pei Ting lied to him, didn't he say that he was only taking him to see Tang Yumei today, how could he...don't want him?
Gu Bao stood in the hallway of the hospital at a loss, like a lost child, afraid of panic, anxious, and his bowels were all tangled up, giving him an uncomfortable feeling of weightlessness.
Without waiting for Gu Bao to be more anxious, Pei Ting came back with a paper bag in his hand, and saw Gu Bao standing in the corridor with a crying expression on his face: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Bao saw Pei Ting, his heart was settled, he didn't turn his head: "No, there is nothing."
Pei Ting went to a medicated food store that did not do takeaway, and specially received the medicated food ordered in the store early in the morning.
He was so caring, Tang Yumei sighed repeatedly, and said, "Xiao Pei, if Auntie has a daughter, she will definitely let her marry you."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Ting was fine, and Gu Bao's face flushed first. Although Tang Yumei did not have a daughter, her son's use was similar, and she had already eaten and wiped it off for Pei Ting.
Gu Bao glanced at Pei Ting's expression, but found that he was the only one who was uncomfortable and shy. The calmness on Pei Ting's face was like an iron mask, and he wouldn't take it off easily, as if he really had nothing to do with Gu Bao.
Under Pei Ting's calmness, Gu Bao's brain, which was like a boiling porridge pot, also cooled down a little, and no longer bubbled randomly.
On the way back, Gu Bao did not sit next to the door as he did in the morning, but leaned against Pei Ting in a position not far or near. He fell asleep halfway through, and in a daze he felt himself leaning on Pei Ting's shoulder.
In fact, he was more awake at that moment, but the next second, Pei Ting's movements made him stiff.
Pei Ting put the pillow in the car on the door on Gu Bao's side, and then gently lifted Gu Bao from his shoulders. onto the soft pillow.
The soft pillow is much better than a man's firm shoulders, but Gu Bao never fell asleep again, but pretended to sleep the whole way.
It wasn't until the car stopped that Gu Bao looked like he was just waking up, stretched out, and followed Pei Ting home automatically.
Along the way, Gu Bao was quite distracted, until after taking a bath in the evening, Gu Bao came out of the bathroom, wearing wide short sleeves and underwear, walked to the door of Pei Ting's room, and knocked on the door.
Pei Ting said that he came in, Gu Bao pushed open the door and entered, standing silently in front of Pei Ting with the powder that was steamed from the bath.
Pei Ting looked up from behind the computer, took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said warmly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Bao lowered his eyes and looked at his bare toes: "Thank you for today."
Pei Ting: "No You're welcome."
Gu Bao didn't speak or leave.
Pei Ting said, "Is there anything else?"
Gu Bao slowly shook his head, then turned and walked out of the room. Before returning to the bedroom, he went to the bathroom to take a look at himself, with wet hair, pink cheeks, and bare legs exposed in the air.
But Pei Ting didn't let him stay, let alone glance at him. It seems that he is taking care of Bao, not as good-looking as those few documents.
Suddenly, the words of that night came to Gu Bao's mind again.
Pei Ting said that the day to let him go will come soon, and every day he wakes up, he feels that it is that day.
It turned out that Pei Ting meant to take back his love for him day by day, and gradually, in Pei Ting's heart, he became nothing.
He became a real passer-by, not the boy that Pei Ting liked back then, or the person that Pei Ting loved for five years, he would be completely let go by Pei Ting.
It turned out that what Pei Ting said was true, not duplicitous, not a whimper, nor deliberately provoking Gu Bao to anger him.
But... simply, Pei Ting no longer likes him.
