Difficult round

Chapter 39

Gu Yan was the last one to walk over. Just after eating, he saw A Kang who was squatting not far away waving at him.

Probably because of the friendship that they slept with last night, this person seemed a little warmer than yesterday.

Gu Yan nodded, walked over and squatted beside him, the two of them drank the steaming hot potpourri from a lunch box without even using a spoon.

Concerned that everyone had to go down the mountain to catch the bus, the old headmaster resolutely collected the lunch boxes from everyone's hands and didn't let anyone wash their hands.

Since Gu Yan drove the car by himself and had the most time, he stayed at the last one, and helped the old principal lift the bamboo basket to the well, and when he wanted to roll up his sleeves to wash, he was stopped.

"The mountain road is not easy to walk. Mr. Gu should go down the mountain quickly. Drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety." The old principal said.

Gu Yan didn't insist, and followed the old principal back to the dormitory area.

He crowded into A Kang's room last night, but his things were still in the original room. Gu Yan hesitated at the door for a while, then pushed the door and walked in.

This door had been closed tightly since he got up in the morning, but now he went in and found that there was no one inside, and the person who made him hesitate was not in the room.

Gu Yan glanced roughly around the room, and found that the things belonging to another person had disappeared, as if there had never been a second person here, and he was the only one from the beginning to the end.

The sour breath that had been accumulated in his chest since last night was finally spit out. Gu Yan sat down against the Eight Immortals table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one go.

The thermal insulation performance of the kettle is not good. After yesterday’s dinner, the water was boiled and it is now completely cold. It made goose bumps in his throat, his stomach was cold, and the heat on his body seemed to be absorbed by this cup The cold water was poured out.

He put the glass back on the table and got up to pack his luggage.

For two nights and one day, he didn't bring many things, just some toiletries and a few changes of clothes. At the moment, the dirty and clean things were mixed together, and they were all stuffed into the luggage bag.

"Mr. Gu," the old headmaster came from behind, holding a small dark brown glass bottle in his hand, "Look at my memory, Mr. Shen just told me to give you this thing in the morning, but as soon as I turned around, the bottle disappeared. I almost forgot, people are really useless when they are old..."

Gu Yan took the glass bottle over and recognized it as an essential oil bottle. The product label on it had been torn off, but the strong fragrance still overflowed from the bottle and got into his nose.

Gu Yan is very familiar with this scent, it is lavender.

Speaking of which, Shen Qi bought the first bottle of lavender essential oil for him.Because Shen Xi can't sleep well, he has many dreams and wakes up easily at night, he heard people say that soaking his feet before going to bed is good for sleep, so he really ran to buy a foot soaking bucket, and coaxed people to soak their feet for half an hour every day.

Later, he heard that it would be better to add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the feet, so he bought more than a dozen bottles, and put a few drops in the foot bath, a few drops in the bath, and two drops on the pillow. drop.

So much so that their clothes inevitably smelled of lavender. Gu Yan was even teased by his colleagues for this, saying that he was "very coquettish".

However, the effect of this lavender essential oil is really good. Anyway, Shen Qi's sleep quality has been greatly improved afterwards, and it is rare to wake up in the middle of the night and toss and turn and find it difficult to sleep.

"What is the effect of essential oils? It's obviously that you are too unmannered." One weekend, the two of them slept until they were exposed to the sun before getting up. Shen Xi leaned against the head of the bed, rubbed his aching and sore waist, and looked at him with a blushing face.

He used too much force the night before and made it a little bit harder, Shen Xi almost made him dizzy.Gu Yan knew he was wrong, touched his nose and went over to do the job of rubbing his waist. After rubbing his hands, he gradually became restless and began to ignite fires all over Shen Qi's body.

"Then essential oils account for a quarter, and the rest is all my credit."

He said that essential oils were useless, but whether he was traveling or on a business trip, Shen Qi would habitually carry a bottle of essential oils with him, and put two drops on the pillow before going to bed.

Let’s not say how much it works, anyway, the habit has been formed.

But what Gu Yan is holding in his hand now is an empty essential oil bottle. He doesn't know what Shen Qi means, why did he leave him an empty essential oil bottle with the label torn off? And then a rekindling of an old relationship?

After rolling the small glass bottle twice in the palm of his hand, Gu Yan finally found that the bottle was not empty, but contained something in it, but the thing was too small for him to notice it for a while.

Unscrew the cap of the bottle, pour the contents into the palm of your hand, only to find that there are a few small blue flowers that have been dried.

The flowers are really very small, each one is not as big as half of Gu Yan's little fingernail, dry, flat and wrinkled, it's actually very ugly.

But Gu Yan was no stranger to this flower, he was suffocating, and his lips were unconsciously pursed tightly.

"Hey, isn't this Limonium Limonium? There are many of these things in the mountains. If Mr. Gu likes them, I'll take a sickle and cut them off for you."

"The one Mr. Shen picked should grow in the wild. We also have folks who grow it specially. People from outside often come to collect it and sell it to flower shops. It seems that it is quite popular with people in big cities... In fact, in our country, no one would like to pick it if it grows on the side of the road." The old principal said.

Gu Yan put the little blue flower back into the glass bottle, and asked casually, "Does this flower have another name?"

"Hey," the old headmaster clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, it is the forget-me-not that is often written in novels. Choose such a nice name, and some people in your big cities will like it."

He's right, it's a forget-me-not.

Gu Yan nodded, tightened the lid, walked to the Eight Immortals table, wanted to put the bottle down, thought about it and put it in the pocket of the jacket.

"Where are the others?" He asked casually.

"Who?" The old principal's thoughts were still on the flowers, and it took him a while to realize who Gu Yan was referring to.

"You mean Mr. Shen, he went down the mountain before dawn. I was almost at the gate of the school before I received a call from him, saying that there was something urgent in the company and he was hurrying back. Mr. Shen is a good man, he is so busy with work. Also find time to come and see the kids..."

"Hey, don't you two live in the same house, don't you know?"

Gu Yan squeezed the essential oil bottle in his pocket, and said in a flat tone: "No, I chatted with Akang and the others late last night, so I stayed in his room..."

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and because I had called in advance, Gu's father and Gu's mother waited until Gu Yan came back to start dinner.

There were only three of them, but Gu's mother cooked a large table of dishes, all of which were Gu Yan's favorite food since he was a child. The dish in front of him has never been broken, such as braised pork in braised prawns, boiled pork slices, Kung Pao chicken... …and the base is getting higher and higher.

Holding the chopsticks, Gu Yan couldn't do anything with the dishes on the plate, and with a wry smile stopped the coke chicken wings that his mother brought over: "Mom, that's enough, I'll get fat if I eat any more."

But it's not that easy to reject my mother, so Mama Gu put the chicken wing on it forcefully: "Why are you so fat, your face is rounder than it is now after working so hard in high school, no matter how good it is outside, it can't compare to home. "

"You are not satisfied with delicious food and drink, serving you. What kind of business do you go out to do? The big company at home is not enough for you to toss..."

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to think of the years when there was no news, Mama Gu's eyes turned red immediately, and she turned her back to secretly wipe away her tears.

They were the ones who didn't want to see their son, but after all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from their body, so how could they really miss it.

But the son is also stubborn, and he refuses to give in to his life and death. In the end, they are the fathers and mothers who can't help but compromise with the child.

What can I do? After all, I can't really keep away from each other.

After so many years, they have managed to understand that the road is their own, and they don't have to worry about which road they want to take.You can manage it for a while but not for a lifetime.As long as the child feels good.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Gu Yan felt uncomfortable, he could probably guess what his mother was thinking, but apart from saying sorry, he didn't know what else to say or do.

He is not a good son, if time can be restarted, he may still disappoint the elders.As long as he still likes men, it will always come to this day.

It's just that I shouldn't choose such a fierce way to fight against my parents.

"Hmph." Papa Gu slapped his chopsticks on the table hard, glared at him angrily, and scolded him "unfilial son" in a murmur.

Their father and son have too similar personalities, they both have bad and stubborn tempers. Gu Yan was still young and they bickered and quarreled every day, so if it were seven years ago, Gu Yan would definitely exchange words with his father because of this scolding. Choking, and then no one will accept the other and have a big fight. After two days, I will take the initiative to show my kindness, play a game of chess with my dad and drink a glass of wine, and I will easily expose this problem.No one will really take it to heart.

Father and son have no overnight feud.However, because he came out on impulse.The pimples between him and his father have been separated for seven years, and over time, they have become gray hairs on his father's head and wrinkles on his face.

Thousands of days and nights, parents are old.

Can he be the youngest, even his own eyes have fine lines, and occasionally a few white hairs can be found.

So now he wants to get rid of this knot.

"Yes, Dad, I was wrong." Gu Yan picked up a piece of fat and thin braised pork for Dad, and accepted the scolding with a smile. Body. Let’s eat first, and after we’re done, I’ll bring you the clothes rack from the balcony, and you can smoke on me as you please, until you’re happy!”

Gu's father probably didn't expect him to say this, his face froze for a moment, and then he "hummed", picked up the chopsticks again, and ate the piece of meat that Gu Yan gave him.

"Hey, eat first, eat first, let's talk about something after dinner..." Mother Gu really felt sorry for her son, she gave Papa Gu an angry look, and said dissatisfiedly, "You have a mouth, the child finally came back, Can you say a few words less!"
