Difficult round

Chapter 68

In the new week after that day, Gu Yan took his secretary and a designer to Wutong Country to participate in a certain event, and he didn't come back until Saturday.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived home, and there was a moving truck parked downstairs, which had already been emptied. Three workers came down from the corridor and passed by Gu Yan.

It doesn't look like someone is going to move out, but it looks like a new neighbor has moved in.Gu Yan pressed the elevator button, took the elevator back home, and didn't pay much attention to it.

After tidying up the suitcase, throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and putting away the toiletries in the bathroom, Gu Yan poured himself a cup of hot water, and drank it slowly while standing in front of the glass wall of the living room.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the hours of the day are also increasing day by day. Even at this point, the sun is still very dazzling, mottled on the floor, illuminating most of the living room.

After eating hamburger steak for a week, I just feel that my stomach has suffered a big crime, and I just want to eat something warm for dinner.

There is nothing in the refrigerator, and seafood porridge can’t be cooked, but fortunately, there are still a handful of dried noodles and a few small green vegetables left, so he plans to cook a bowl of green vegetable egg noodles, anyway, it’s better than hamburgers .

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations, the water boiled and only waited for the bottom to find out that there was no salt in the house.

In fact, the salt jar was empty before the business trip, and he ordered takeaway for that dinner, thinking that he would have to go to the supermarket to buy some things when he came back, but in the end... he forgot all about it.

After hesitating for a moment between ordering takeaway or going out to buy salt, Gu Yan finally chose the latter.After all the dishes are washed, it is impossible to put them back. Anyway, there is a convenience store at the entrance of the community, and it took only a few minutes to buy them in the past.

After turning off the gas, Gu Yan went to the entrance to change his shoes.At this time, a few dogs barked suddenly from upstairs, it was a very clear puppy barking, which was very different from the usual happy voice.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of small animals running hurriedly.

The sound rang above Gu Yan's head. The puppy seemed to run from the living room to the door and then from the door to the living room, kicking and kicking back and forth several times.

Uncle Zhang has another dog and puppy?Huanhuan was not that noisy. They had lived upstairs and downstairs for so many years, and they had never seen such a big commotion.

Thinking so, Gu Yan took the key and went out.

A few steps away is the elevator entrance. The timing is not so coincidental. The elevator shows that it is in operation and is slowly ascending from the third floor. I don't know which resident is also preparing to go out.Gu Yan hurriedly pressed the down button, fearing that the people waiting for the elevator with him would be the residents downstairs, making him wait in vain.

The elevator went up to the ninth floor without stopping, and finally stopped at the thirteenth floor, Uncle Zhang's floor.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the elevator began to descend slowly, and stopped when it reached Gu Yan's floor.Neither Uncle Zhang nor Aunt Zhang like to take elevators, so it is very likely that they are from another resident.

There was a little girl in that family, she was very cute, when she met Gu Yan and Shen Qi before, she always took out some snacks from her schoolbag to share with them.

Once, Yan teased her in retrospect: "Why do you give snacks to your brothers? Do you think your brothers are good-looking?"

The little girl threw herself into grandma's arms shyly, then turned her head slightly to reveal half of her face, and said in a childish voice, "Well, brother looks good."

Gu Yan was very happy about this for a long time, no matter what he said, he always followed it with "ah", "Shen Qi", "eating", "going", "okay"... there is no end to it.Shocking Shen Qi, thinking he was shameless, chasing him and beating him.

It was late autumn of the year, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the sidewalk outside the community had fallen all over the ground with dead leaves, and the two of them chased each other stepping on the fallen leaves, laughing loudly.

Later, Gu Yan met the little girl many times in the elevator. The little girl was already in elementary school, and she obediently went to and from school with a creamy yellow schoolbag on her back every day.Seeing Gu Yan, he asked softly: "Brother, why are you always alone, where is the other brother?"

She still prepared two toffees, but the good-looking brother only had one left.

Gu Yan didn't know how to answer her, and always smiled and said nothing.The little girl seemed like a big kid, she seemed to see his unhappiness, she stuffed the candy into his palm, and said comfortingly, "It's okay, then I'll give you two candies."

The elevator door opened slowly, Gu Yan guessed what kind of snacks he would receive today, but saw an unexpected person in the next second.

The person in the elevator was neither a cute little girl nor Uncle Zhang or anyone else, but the one who shouldn't be here... Shen Qi.

Shen Qi himself probably did not expect to meet Gu Yan at this time, and when he looked up at the people outside the elevator, his face was full of surprise.

He was holding a small dog that was a few months old in his arms, and the other hand was holding the leash. He subconsciously grasped the rope tighter, pulling the collar tied around his neck. The puppy stretched out its paws, Let out a whimper of dissatisfaction.

Shen Qi seemed to realize what he had done at this time, and gently patted the puppy on the back to show comfort.

Gu Yan raised his foot and stepped into the elevator, Shen Xi's eyes trembled violently a few times, he hugged the dog and retreated to the far side, stood close to the elevator, and gave Gu Yan the place in the middle where he was originally standing.

Gu Yan didn't stand in that position either, and leaned lazily on the side near the door.He only glanced at Shen Qi before he came in, and then he didn't look at him again, he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

There were only the two of them and a dog in the elevator, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a bit dull. Probably Gu Yan's rare pampering gave Shen Qi courage, and he took the initiative to say:

"Gu Yan, I, I have a dog. It's called a mangosteen. I picked it up on the road."

The two of them were leaning against the car, and Gu Yan had to be at the front. Hearing this, he turned his face to the side and glanced at the puppy in Shen Xi's arms, and flattered, "Well, it's quite cute."

There are so many kinds of fruits in the world, why are they not called durians, oranges, tangerines, hawthorns, peaches...mangosteens.It's hard for Gu Yan to connect this with himself without pretending to be affectionate. His favorite fruit is mangosteen.

For this reason, Shen Qi joked with him before: "Why do you love mangosteen so much, do you know that every time you eat a mangosteen, a meow will lose its legs."

What he said at the time was: "If you lose, you lose. Anyway, I like dogs."

"From then on, the dog we raise will be called mangosteen, so you are still reluctant to eat it." Shen Qi said with a smile.

The memory is right in front of his eyes, and Shen Qi really raised a dog named Mangosteen.

The elevator was about to descend to the first floor, Shen Qi secretly glanced at the buttons, seeing that Gu Yan was going to the first floor, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

He still has a lot to say, but he doesn't know how to speak.Gu Yan no longer repulsed and loathed him as before, but it didn't seem to be any better, he was still cold.

"Gu Yan, I, moved upstairs to you, and we will be... neighbors from now on." He finally said.

Gu Yan just said "hmm" again, as if he had already guessed it.

"I... don't get me wrong, I don't want to move here to pester you, it's just a coincidence."

He unconsciously stroked the leash in his hand, trying to defend himself by deliberating over the words.

"The landlord didn't let me live in the apartment I was renting because of other arrangements. I happened to see Uncle Zhang's house renting out, so I... moved here..."

Gu Yan didn't even say yes this time, Shen Qi wasn't sure if he believed it, or how much he believed it.But what he told Gu Yan was not entirely true.

When Gu Yan finished wiping his body that day and was about to go home, he ran into Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang downstairs. The two old men were discussing about renting out a house.

Shen Qi listened, and heard that the other party seemed to want to rent out the house he was living in, so he took the initiative to ask.

And it is true.The old man's daughter-in-law gave birth to a second child, and hoped that Aunt Zhang could go over and help take care of the child.The house was empty and empty, so the two old people thought about renting out the house and earning some money for milk powder.

Shen Qi immediately expressed that he was willing to rent.

The two parties have been neighbors upstairs and downstairs for so many years, of course it would be best to rent it to Shen Qi, and the contract was signed quickly, so it is true that Uncle Zhang's house is rented out, but it is false that the original landlord refused to let him live.

Shen Qi signed a one-year rental contract with the landlord, and now he can't live in breach of the contract, the landlord of course disagrees.

In order to avoid trouble, he gave the landlord compensation. Not only did he not get back the three-month deposit, but he also paid half a year's rent in vain.

Shen Qi usually saves food and money, and to buy a dress for himself, he has to shop around to see which one is the most affordable. At that time, he spent such a large amount of money for nothing without blinking his eyes.

Just because it was his chance to get close to Gu Yan.

So it is a lie to say that he will not appear in front of Gu Yan, how could he not appear.He did all these things, whether he joined the company or rented a house, all for Gu Yan.In order to be closer to this person, a little closer.

He didn't know how to cherish when they were inseparable in the past, but now it takes a hundred times and a thousand times of effort to get a little closer.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Gu Yan stepped out first.Because he just planned to go to the convenience store at the gate of the community to buy salt, he was still wearing the summer home clothes he put on after returning home, but he had a good face and a good figure, and the simple blue-gray home clothes on him had a kind of charm. Feel fashionable and high-end.

Shen Qi quickly followed behind him, secretly traced the outline of his tall and straight back with his eyes, his eyes were hot and intense.

"Gu Yan, where are you going?" If he was sensible, he shouldn't ask this question, it's beyond his control.But the mouth was quicker than the brain, and the question came out subconsciously.

Gu Yan kept walking: "Convenience store."

Shen Qi grinned behind him, completely relieved.

"Do you want to buy something, have you eaten? Did you go on a business trip this week and didn't see you at the company? Is your back injury healed? Did you go to the hospital to change gauze on time..."

He asked one question after another, Gu Yanren was taller than him, and his steps were bigger than him, he had to walk very fast to barely catch up with them.

"Wow." The mangosteen nestled in his arms had wanted to come out to play a long time ago, and now it really came true, with two little paws excitedly scratching at the master's chest, wanting the master to put him down.

But the master's mind was obviously no longer on it, he hugged it tightly, and had no intention of letting it go.It rolled its eyeballs and protested dissatisfiedly, "Wow, ow... woof..."

But the owner still didn't care about it, and was still chattering and asking: "Does it still hurt? Is it scabbing? It will be very itchy when scabbing. You must hold back and don't touch it..."

"Have you eaten the dates and nuts I bought? They are all in small bags. Eat one bag every day to replenish blood..."

Gu Yan tilted his head to glance at his gauze-wrapped palm, and blurted out: "What about you?"

"what?"

Gu Yan was inexplicably angry, and said with a sullen face, "It's nothing."

Shen Qi: "..."

Why are you so angry again?
