When the abusive male protagonist wakes up

Chapter 81

For the next few days, Tao An kept in touch with Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao intentionally or unintentionally mentioned several times that he wanted Tao An to visit him in the hospital, but every time Tao An heard it, he found various excuses to refuse, either saying that the store was busy, or that the child was unattended, or that the store sent someone to temporarily On a business trip, in short, he didn't go to the hospital to visit Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao didn't take it seriously at first, but after passing Yiqiao twice and three times, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Tao An is not the kind of person who is good at rejecting, and it is even more impossible for him to be unwilling to come to the hospital to see him for so long after his accident, unless there is some reason for him to come.

The two of them made a phone call that day, and Gu Xiao once again asked Tao An to go to the hospital to accompany him, but Tao An refused again as expected.

Tao An hesitated and said: "The store has been stocked these days, and I can't leave for the time being."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a moment, and Gu Xiao's tone became low: "Tao An, is there something wrong with you?"

Tao An subconsciously clenched the phone and denied, "No, no."

"Don't hide it from me. If it's not for something, you can't come to see me." Gu Xiao paused, as if remembering something, his voice became tense, "Is it because my brother kidnapped you?" Or did he do something to you?"

Tao An quickly said: "No, no, I'm fine, nothing happened."

Gu Xiao spoke solemnly, "Then why don't you come to see me?"

Before Tao An could speak, Gu Xiao said seriously: "There must be some reason, don't lie to me anymore."

Tao An really couldn't hide it now, he clenched the phone tightly with his thin fingers, and after hesitating for a moment, he bit his lip and said, "You had an accident, yes, Gu Haoxing did it."

The breathing on the other end of the phone became heavy instantly, "What did you say?"

Tao An's voice trembled slightly, "He sent someone to bump into you. He said that if I dared to go over to see you, I would attack you. I, I dare not, I can't let you get into trouble again."

"My brother that bastard!"

It's not that Gu Xiao didn't suspect that there was something wrong with him in the accident, but the police couldn't find any evidence, and the driver was drunk and drove away after hitting someone, Gu Xiao only thought it was an ordinary accident.

Who would have thought that his accident was actually caused by his brother.

Tao An's brows and eyes were filled with a painful emotion, and he mustered up the courage to say what he had prepared for many days: "Gu Xiao, we still don't want to see each other in the future."

There was no movement on the other side for a moment, and then Gu Xiao's eager voice came, "What do you mean, are you going to cut off contact with me?"

Tao An's heart was twisted like a knife, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, but I can't trouble you anymore."

Gu Xiao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said calmly: "Tao An, I know what you are worried about, but it doesn't matter what my brother said about this matter, if he does something to me again, my dad will not Will let him go."

Tao An shook his head vigorously, not realizing that Gu Xiao couldn't see his movements, and kept saying, "No, no, don't confront him, it won't do you any good."

And he is not worth Gu Xiao taking risks for him, not worth it.

"Let's stop contacting, I'm doing well, you don't have to worry about me." Tao An showed a wry smile: "And now I have a place to live and a stable job, I can support myself, you really don't have to worry. "

Seeing Tao An's firm attitude, Gu Xiao said stubbornly, "You know I won't give up on you."

Tao An closed his eyes, imitating in his mind the appearance of what happened to Gu Xiao that night, his heart seemed to be hit hard, and he said ruthlessly, "If you come to me again, I will have to move. "

He can no longer cause Gu Xiao to have an accident, this time Gu Haoxing dared to find someone to bump into Gu Xiao, who knows what crazy things he will do next time.

Tao An didn't dare to gamble with Gu Xiao's life.

"Tao An!" Gu Xiao shouted on the other end of the phone, "You are not allowed to hang up!"

Tao An's heart seemed to be pinched by both hands. He summoned up his courage and said, "Gu Xiao, I know you and like me, but we can't do it. Don't come here again, and don't contact me. Take care of your wounds and don't need to talk to me again." Worry about me, I'll take care of myself and my kids."

Before Gu Xiao on the other end could make a sound, Tao An hung up the phone.

He lowered his head, with big tears splashing on the screen, and pulled Gu Xiao's number into the blacklist as quickly as possible, as if this would prevent him from softening his heart and looking at the string of familiar numbers with blurred vision.

Now he doesn't even have his only friend.

At this moment, the door of the convenience store was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Haoxing, carrying a takeaway bag in his hand, delivered food to Tao An as usual.

Tao An raised his head, saw that it was Gu Haoxing, and turned his head to the other side in disgust.

Gu Haoxing noticed Tao An's red and swollen eyes, and asked tentatively, "Have you ever cried?"

Tao An raised his red, swollen and wet eyelids to look at Gu Haoxing, obviously he was the culprit, and he still had to pretend to be innocently concerned.

Gu Haoxing guessed something from Tao An's hateful eyes, lowered his head guiltyly, and put the takeaway in his hand in front of Tao An, "I bought you dinner, you can go to work after eating."

Tao An directly pushed the takeaway bag back, "I don't need you, just pretend to be kind."

Gu Haoxing clenched his fists slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "In your heart, it's a fake kindness that I bring you meals every day."

Every time that kid Gu Xiao only came over on weekends, Tao An was very happy. He was shopping and cooking, and he ran up and down beside Tao An every day like a dog, just acting?

"If I'm really pretending, I can just tie you back to save trouble." Gu Haoxing's eyes were red from being hurt by Tao An's words, and his voice raised unconsciously. Come here and give you three meals a day?"

Tao An stared at him with red eyes, "No matter how much you do, you are still a murderer."

Gu Haoxing's chest was suffocated, and he clenched his fists tightly, "Are you blaming me for Gu Xiao's matter?"

How could Tao An not blame Gu Haoxing, he caused Gu Xiao to have an accident, and even caused himself to lose Gu Xiao as a friend, how could Tao An not hate him?

Gu Haoxing took Tao An's unabashed admission into his eyes, he held his breath, and said in a broken voice: "Anyway, I have already become the bad guy, if you dare to see him again, don't blame me for being rude to him !"

I don't know if it was his illusion, after saying this, Tao An's eyes seemed to turn redder.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Tao An lowered his head in discouragement, his hoarse voice was barely audible: "I will not contact him again in the future."

Gu Haoxing was dubious, "Really?"

Thinking of Gu Xiao's persuasion on the phone just now, Tao An felt his heart ache even more. He suppressed the pain in his heart and explained word by word: "I told him that if he came to look for me, I would move. I have already blocked him, and I will not meet or contact him again in the future, please don't target him again."

Looking at Tao An's crying expression, Gu Haoxing quickly flashed joy in his eyes.

Tao An never lied, so it must be true that he broke up with Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, pretending to be calm and said: "As long as you do what you say, I will do what you say."

Tao An didn't say anything else, he pushed back the dinner brought by Gu Haoxing, "Take it away."

Gu Haoxing pushed it back again, "I bought it for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao An looked up at him and interrupted: "Take, take, I won't eat what you bought."

Gu Haoxing gasped, and wanted to say something, Tao An had already got up and went to the cabinet, took a sandwich and scanned the QR code to pay.

Gu Haoxing was furious, "I'm doing it for your own good. Do you think why Gu Xiao fell in love with you? Do you really think he likes you? He's just trying to steal someone I've played with. When he gets tired of playing with you, he will Throwing you aside, it will be too late for you to cry at that time."

"And you are still taking my child with you. He has been fighting with me all the time. Do you think he will really treat our child as his own?"

Tao An ate his sandwich with his head down, letting Gu Haoxing talk to him, but he didn't say a word.

Gu Haoxing was like a fist hit on cotton, leaving only a deep weakness. He looked at Tao An's side face which was more cruel than anyone else, took the takeaway bag out of the convenience store, and threw the dinner into the trash can as if venting his anger.

Tao An raised his head and looked at Gu Haoxing's leaving back, his heart was filled with bitterness.

Gu Haoxing said that Gu Xiao didn't really like him, so didn't he do the same?

When you get tired of playing with him, just throw him aside and let him fend for himself.

For the next few days, Tao An didn't say a word to Gu Haoxing, and the atmosphere that had been so hard to ease that day in the hospital suddenly disappeared.

Gu Haoxing knew that he had gone too far, but only in this way, Tao An would not continue to contact Gu Xiao, and he would have a chance to save Tao An.

Otherwise, with Gu Xiao around, Tao An would only think of the stupid things he did to him before.

But seeing Tao An's increasingly indifferent attitude, Gu Haoxing felt flustered like never before.

He stopped delivering three meals a day to Tao An, and kept a long distance from him every day when he went to work. At least during this time, Tao An would not give him any good looks.

That night, Guo Jiayue got off work first, and Tao An was left to work in the convenience store alone. It was already late at night, and the street outside was quiet and deserted, and no pedestrians could be seen.

Tao An was learning how to make complementary food for children with his mobile phone. Just as he was taking notes seriously, there was a sound of pushing the door.

Tao An subconsciously said "Welcome", put down the things in his hands and stood up.

A man came in staggeringly, as if he was drunk, Tao An could smell the alcohol on his body from a distance, and his nose moved slightly.

In fact, Tao An didn't like drunk customers very much. He thought that someone suddenly vomited while shopping in the store. He cleaned up all night and opened the door again to get rid of the smell.

There are also some guests who will mess around after getting drunk, either bargaining or not paying the bill, so now Tao An is afraid when he sees drunk guests.

The man came back quickly with something, and threw it on the table rudely, "Check out."

Tao An responded, picked up the machine and began to scan the code to enter the order.

When he lowered his head, a section of slender and delicate neck was exposed under his collar, and it was so white that it was illuminated by the light above his head.

The man raised his head in a daze, just in time to see this scene, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
