Entrust The Rest Of My Life To You Chapter 42

(Sentences in bold letters are written in English in the original text.)

If Gu Wei's reaction pains me, then Grandpa's reaction made me sad. Sitting in a chair, quietly looking at the body, eating, sleeping, in a trance, with the unique vicissitudes and stability of an old man.

The men who took care of a family, wouldn't show their grief, it wasn't abnormal. No tears, no thoughts, treat people appropriately, send them back and forth politely. But they silence themselves into a hollow piece of wood, neither cold nor cool, but it clearly shows you that there is a piece missing in their heart.

After the funeral, Grandpa took out a box: “Grandma picked this out.”

The Doctor's father nodded to us slightly, and Gu Wei took it: “Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa.”

In the box, there was a pair of sheep fat jade pendants and a small engraving — Good son, good daughter-in-law.

I don't know if it was the impact of Grandma's death, but Comrade Gu Xiao returned to his nest. The two days of my reply coincided with his return to X City, and Gu Wei went to pick him up at the airport. When I got back to Gu Wei's apartment after a lot of school work, as soon as I opened the door and smelled the alcohol, I saw a 'big' man slumped on the bed and dialed the phone with a headache: “Doctor, what on earth is going on in your bed?”

To put it simply, Comrade Gu Xiao was lovelorn again, and his broken heart finally lamented that a good girl was still in the motherland, so he came back. After spending the night in a bar, he was carried back to the apartment by Gu Wei at noon yesterday. Gu Wei was on duty that night, so the person was left unattended and continued to drink.

Looking at the unrecognizable apartment, I really wanted to yell: ‘what kind of habit have you developed after floating abroad for several years?!'

When the Doctor came back from his s.h.i.+ft, I had just cleared out the sofa and asked him to open the window for ventilation. I went out to go shopping at a nearby convenience store.

While I was holding a bunch of things, my cell phone shook wildly, and I freed up one hand to pick it up laboriously–

“What old woman?!” My earth-shaking shout. I almost dropped the things in my arms.

“They're coming over. They'll be there in half an hour at the most.”

“Auntie– Gu Xiao's mom?!”

“Yeah, my mother told her he was here, and my aunt came over as soon as she heard her words. My mother is chasing behind now.”

“Jesus!” Aunt Xiao is so angry that Gu Xiao would be torn to pieces when she sees that mess. I quickly piled a pile of things on the cas.h.i.+er. “First wake up Gu Xiao, take a shower and brush his teeth, hang the quilt out, throw the sheets into the was.h.i.+ng machine, and I'll be right back."

No sooner had we barely finished cleaning the battlefield that the person arrived.

Mrs. Xiao: “when did you get to Gu Wei's?”

Gu Wei: “The day before yesterday."

Gu Xiao: “Yesterday.”

I twisted my face, do you two want to reveal the truth so soon …

For half an hour, in the face of Mrs. Xiao's questioning, Gu Xiao did not respond, quite a bit of hooliganism.

Mrs. Xiao got up and said, “come home with me.”

“I'll live with my brother.” Gu Xiao was adamant and refused to go.

Finally, the Doctor, and his mother, muddled together before they persuaded Mrs. Xiao to go back.

When Gu Wei sent her back, Gu Xiao raised his chin to me and said, “why hasn't she left yet?”

Hiss–

“Gu Xiao, even the Buddha has a bottom line.” Do you think I am a stone statue that won't get angry?

Gu Xiao curled his lips and said, “seeing a woman annoys me right now.”

Gu Wei opened the door: “There is a public toilet on the opposite side of the road. When you go to the men's room, you can look as much as you like…”

Gu Xiao went silent. After a while, his eyes turned red: “Why is it so difficult to find a good girl?”

Gu Xiao can actually be regarded as quite a catch, with a good family, appearance and a smooth sailing in his studies and work, when it comes to prestige. In fact, — he isn't chasing girls, he is being chased. Sometimes good conditions are not necessarily good, because it is too easy to be hunted down. Moreover, he prefers girls with similar backgrounds, and in the end, he often becomes a dead king in a check mated chess game. Coupled with the fact that he is standoffish in personal affairs, he wouldn't get sympathy from the other side every time they break up.

I looked at the obviously depressed person and sighed: “Gu Xiao, marriage and love are different. In the face of a blind date, you can add or subtract the other person's family background, wealth and appearance to see if you are in the same range; But such an a.s.sessment would not help you find a girlfriend. ‘Love may be an addition or subtraction in the end, but it won't be at first thing.' It doesn't matter if a girl decides to be with you because of where you went to school, how much money you made and what job you did. No matter how rational love is, there is always an irrational inducement to start with, and those rules and regulations will never become the reason for being moved in love.”

I don't know if Gu Xiao and I have settled our differences. Although he still was standoffish in front of me, he hasn't bothered me since Gu Wei and I had a long talk with him that afternoon.

June, is another season of farewells.

We were not sad at all. Xiao Cao and I smoothly entered the fourth year of cohabitation, in the words of pa.s.sers-by, it was an ‘insidious occupation of school dormitory resources'. My work was not far from the school, while learning, pa.s.sers-by A and B have signed into a good job. Since then, all members of the first team have continued to survive smoothly in X City. So that month, we couldn't avoid fooling around together. This way, it was hard to avoid neglecting the Doctor.

In this regard, the Doctor's special understanding, turned to comparative understanding, but in the end, didn't want to understand.

That day, I received a call from the Doctor: “We have been together for three years, have a meal to celebrate. ”

It's now June, how did he count this three-year period??…

As soon as I entered the Thai restaurant, the smell of spices came head-on when entering the door. I sneezed at the Doctor's shoulder. “Oh, it smells good.” The Doctor laughed. G.o.d knows why he was in such a good mood today.

We came early, there weren't many people. The indoor banana leaves were stacked layer upon layer, the marble pool draws live water, and the little red carp inside is quite lively. When the Doctor pa.s.sed by, one jumped out of the pool, turned over and fell back in. He smiled and sat me down to order at the edge of the pool.

In front of the pool is a small stage, a small three-man band performing, the lead singer and ba.s.sist are typical Thai faces, singing softly. While waiting for dinner, I folded my napkin and hummed along unconsciously until the end of the song. With a “Hi~”, I looked up and the ba.s.sist turned to us and gave a thumbs-up. I was instantly embarra.s.sed. Looking at the Doctor opposite me, his left hand supported his cheek and his right hand placed the table leisurely. The light flowed behind his lens. I was pierced in a heartbeat. I was lying on the table with a red face and my chin was held up by him: “Don't lie at random.”

I wailed, “Doctor, your eyes are so attractive that I can't stand it…”

The Doctor smiled, “who is seducing who?”

Holding the doctor's lemon juice in my hand, I watched the people across from me intently tearing down the roast chops. My white skin was stained with powder because I ate chili. I was filled with joy and suddenly wanted to sing him a song. In fact, the Doctor and I are usually steady people, but we just b.u.mped into each other.

No sooner had the guitarist finished singing ‘Hotel California', I stepped onto the stage under the Doctor's surprised expression.

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry

Love will keep us alive  

(TNote: Love Will Keep Us Alive – Eagles )

When I stepped down, the ba.s.s player joked in blunt Chinese: “Newly married, husband and wife?”

Special Dialog

(Oh, I am really a kind sister-in-law.)

Doctor: you'd better not let Gu Xiao hear you.
