Chapter 71(1/2)
Gu Fei had a bowl of noodles that was tasteless and had a taste, but he had to go to Wang Xu's house for pies now, but now he couldn't go there. Compared with the big meat pies, this instant noodles are really boring.
Especially when you look up, you can see Jiang Cheng sitting opposite you in a daze, making it even more boring.
Gu Fei was a little worried. Jiang Cheng's current state didn't seem to be as calm as he had recovered, but he was still in a daze and was not awake.
Tonight he didn't want Jiang Cheng to stay alone, but now he doesn't dare to say anything casually that Jiang Cheng stays or he always fears any words or points that will make Jiang Cheng explode.
After eating the noodles, he washed the dishes and returned to the store, Jiang Cheng was still sitting there without moving.
He went over and put the table aside, standing beside Jiang Cheng.
"That room in the steel mill" Jiang Cheng asked for a long time, "Is anyone here tonight?"
"No." Gu Fei replied.
"Please stay there for a night," said Jiang Cheng, "I don't want to spend the night in a familiar place."
"Okay." Gu Fei nodded.
After standing for a while, Jiang Cheng didn't move or urge him. He walked to the back of the cashier and sat down, turned on his cell phone.
The circle of friends has been flooded for just this little time, saying that someone has jumped off the building here, some are asking around, and some say that it has noses and eyes, just like he is following it.
Gu Fei was about to play a few games to slow down his mind when he left his Moments, Wang Xu sent a message.
I heard that the person who jumped off the building was from the street next to you?
Gu Fei did not reply.
Wang Xu sent another one over.
Some people say it is Jiang Cheng's father, does he live on the street next to your house?
Gu Fei frowned. It was said that neighbors and neighbors have become amazingly quick and scary in this era because they have used various instant messaging tools.
Someone will spread this matter tomorrow, so I will settle the score with you
I didn't spread it blindly, didn't I ask you the first time? I didn't even ask Jiang Cheng
Anyway, I'm going to hear someone say, I'll look for you
Damn! OK OK, I'll go and warn you, OK
Gu Fei ignored him and turned off his phone. Now he has eliminated his love and doesn't want to play anymore.
"What time is it?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"After eight o'clock, eight twenty-six," Gu Fei glanced at him, "you"
"Sit for a while," said Jiang Cheng, "I don't know why now, I just don't want to move, I just want to be so stunned for a while."
"Yes." Gu Fei responded, picked up his phone again, and clicked on Love Elimination.
Jiang Cheng is very familiar with this state. He doesn't want to move, not only his body doesn't want to move, but his mind doesn't want to move. He just keeps up, and is blank, as if any movement will bring himself back to reality. All kinds of upsets and fears that are afraid to face will follow your tiny little movement and tide.
Seeing my father die in the river, he didn't know how many nights he spent sitting and sitting there.
Even if Jiang Cheng sat on that small stool for a day and a night, he would not find it strange.
But even though Jiang Cheng should not have faced and experienced all this, he was sent back here for no reason.
Jiang Cheng wanted to leave, even if he was born here, his parents were all specialties here, and he still did not belong here. Gu Fei was sometimes afraid, afraid that Jiang Cheng would sink.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's "arrogance" in his bones has been resisting him, and he always stands in any environment.
There is a small clock on the wall in Gu Fei's store. Every time it is an hour, the hour hand can hear a slight click.
After the third sound, Jiang Cheng knew it was already 11 o'clock.
He was very sleepy, very sleepy, and felt that he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, but he really closed his eyes until his eyes were sore and he couldn't sleep.
This state is very tormenting.
He didn't see the scene of Li Baoguo's last leaping, but the sound when he landed on the ground passed through the shoe in front of him, like a dream that could not be shaken off, shaking half-real and half-vaguely in front of him. In a trance, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a real experience.
The weather was quite hot. He was sweating when he was tattooed in the afternoon, but now he felt cold in his hands, cold all over his body, and he had goose bumps.
The only thing that was still hot was his eyes, which were as hot as fire, and there was no urge to cry. Although his tear glands were a little developed after coming here, he knew very well that he would not want to cry because of Li Baoguo's death. He had no feelings for him and Li Baoguo, but his eyes were hot. Maybe if he continued to burn, he would have a headache. He had to keep pressing his hands on his eyes to make himself feel more comfortable.
Finally, he sighed and stood up. When he turned around and looked at Gu Fei, Gu Fei had already stood up and put his cell phone in his pocket.
"Have you passed this?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"It's over." Gu Fei said.
"Take 8 eggs," said Jiang Cheng, "I didn't hear the sound of passing the test. They all failed. The game has not been finished yet."
Gu Fei laughed: "I have such good ears, my volume has been turned to the same square."
"Give it to me," Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, "I'll play with it."
Gu Fei took out his cell phone and handed it to him. The threshold above was indeed not over. However, although there were only 7 steps left, there was great hope. He looked down at the screen and said, "Let's go, go to the small room."
When Gu Fei opened the store, he looked out. The street lights were on, and the shops on the street were closed. There was no one on the street. The hustle and bustle had been erased by the night.
At this moment, he had a strange feeling, such a terrible thing, such shocking thing, and the things that made people across the street scream madly for only a few hours, and everything had disappeared.
Everything has become a piece of food that has been repeatedly chewed under the lights of each family. In a few months and years, it will become a legend that has gone wrong.
How wonderful and terrible.
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and stared at the game screen on the phone screen, turning off the light. This state could make himself look like a small egg yolk wrapped in an eggshell.
Gu Fei walked side by side with him towards the steel mill, gently pushing his back with one hand, and when there is an obstacle, he will take a little hand, so he can follow this force to avoid the stone bricks and ditches on the ground.
It was not until Gu Fei opened the door of the small room in the steel mill that he sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his eyes and looked around, and returned the game that had passed two levels to Gu Fei.
"It's awesome," said Gu Fei, "I should change my nickname and call someone behind me."
"Change it." Jiang Cheng smiled against the sofa.
The mat and cloth on the sofa were replaced with fine linen material, which was cool and not sticky to the skin and was very comfortable. He began to feel crazy sleepy again.
"Get up first," Gu Fei pulled the sofa and tried to drag it out to lay it flat. "If I drag it together with you, the sofa will fall apart."
Jiang Cheng stood up, took two steps forward slowly, and sighed again: "You should take a shower before you go, at least brush your teeth or something."
"Yes," Gu Fei dragged the sofa out and put it down. "Look at the small box in the toilet. Li Yan should have put a disposable toothbrush towel or something inside. Wipe it, anyway, your legs won't be able to see water."
Jiang Cheng went into the toilet and looked at it. There was nothing in the toilet, but there was a plastic box in the corner, which was quite complete, but the disposable tooth tools and towel packaging were printed with various hotel names.
"Where did he get so many hotel things?" Jiang Cheng walked out of the toilet and asked while brushing his teeth.
"This is what he's doing. There are so many things at home. I used to get it from before, but no one has ever used it," said Gu Fei. "No one cares about it."
Jiang Cheng smiled.
Just chatting with Gu Fei with such little content is the only way he can talk about now. It can relieve his emotions and will not arouse any depression.
The two of them washed and cleaned up casually, lay on the sofa. After turning off the lights, the only moon that penetrated from outside was left in the room. The later it became brighter and brighter. It was hanging outside the window without curtains, which inexplicably gave a feeling of uneasiness.
Jiang Cheng turned over and looked at Gu Fei's side face.
"Do you want a hug?" Gu Fei turned his face and asked.
"Get out," said Jiang Cheng, "hot."
"That's it," Gu Fei grabbed his hand, "Just fall asleep quickly, I'll go to class tomorrow."
"Good night." Jiang Cheng said.
"Good night." Gu Fei pinched his palm.
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, and Gu Fei's fingers kept pinching rhythmically in his palm. Although Jiang Cheng thought this way of coaxing children was a bit funny, he still felt at ease.
But Gu Fei obviously fell asleep first than him, his fingers slowed down a little bit, and finally stopped. Jiang Cheng smiled, listening to Gu Fei's slowed down steady breathing, breathing with his rhythm, and fell asleep not long after.
When he woke up in the morning, Gu Fei had already gotten up and Jiang Cheng smelled the fragrance of beef noodles.
"Awaken?" Gu Fei asked behind him.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw two bowls of packaged beef noodles on the small torn table next to the sofa. He sat up and rubbed his face.
After sleeping all night, he did not wake up, but his dream never stopped. So when he woke up now, he did not remember and was shocked and re-adapted to what happened yesterday.
Li Baoguo died. In front of his three children and many neighbors, he jumped down from the rooftop, ending his life that he didn't know whether it was meaningful.
This kind of picture flashed in his dream that night. Now that he woke up, the picture became clearer.
"No one has called me," Jiang Cheng took his cell phone and looked at it. "Don't I need to participate in the handling of Li Baoguo's affairs?"
"Li Hui will come to you when he wants to get the money," said Gu Fei, "and there is still time to share the property."
"Does Li Baoguo have property?" Jiang Cheng unconsciously scratched his cell phone.
"I don't know," Gu Fei handed the toothbrush that squeezed the toothpaste to his face, "It's a bit a bit, maybe there's a few thousand dollars."
"If he really can get a few thousand dollars, he won't ask for money everywhere, right?" Jiang Cheng took the toothbrush and stuffed it into his mouth. "But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if he has a million dollars. I won't even want a wire."
"Get some funeral expenses, don't worry about anything else." Gu Fei said.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng responded and slowly brushed his teeth.
It is said that when my father died, he had to ask for a few days off, but Jiang Cheng didn't know what he needed to ask for leave, so what should he do if he asked for leave.
