Gu Xu couldn't sleep at all all night. To be precise, he didn't sleep much at all.
He kept listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, but there was no sound.
At dawn, Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes. The clock on the wall read 4:50.
Simply, he couldn't sleep anymore, otherwise he would have gone to find his wife earlier.
Get up and wash up.
Gu Xu got up and got dressed. He originally wanted to leave his phone in the room, but he was afraid that his wife would wake up and talk to him.
He had no choice but to take the phone with him to the bathroom.
well!
It is said that people who fall in love will be mentally retarded.
Gu Xu realized that at this moment, he was also mentally retarded.
Moreover, he is extremely mentally retarded.
In fact, if you take a step back and think about it, what if she wakes up? Can't you just call her back?
Or, even if she doesn't call, just wash yourself and then call her.
Her phone is on silent, so there's no need to worry about waking her.
But!
But!
But!
His sensibility finally triumphed over reason.
He still put the phone next to him and turned the volume to the maximum, for fear that he wouldn't be able to hear any sound coming from the other side.
If it were someone else, he would definitely laugh at others for being stupid. Now, it's his turn to laugh at himself for being stupid.
He suddenly remembered a buddy he knew in his previous life.
On New Year's Eve, he was complaining about his wife to his buddies in a chat group. He only had eyes for his mother, not him.
His wife works in a place two hours away from where he works.
On New Year's Eve, his wife had to be on duty.
But his mother-in-law asked his wife to go back to her mother-in-law's house to celebrate her thirties after get off work.
It only takes an hour to go from where his wife works to his mother-in-law's house.
He said he was going to pick up his wife and take her home.
His wife said that she would go back to accompany his mother-in-law.
My brother tried to say whatever he wanted, but his wife just wasn't happy.
My brother was so angry that he complained in the group, "What, even if she comes back to spend the New Year with him, I don't want her anymore, let her go and spend time with her mother!"
Several buddies in the group are single and have nothing to do, so they plan to play CS all night long.
At first, he talked about playing "Fantasy Westward Journey", but later, my buddy said that fantasy is not exciting, so he wants to vent his anger by playing something exciting.
After all, it was changed to CS "Counter-Strike".
If my brother is in a bad mood, other brothers will accompany him.
As a result, while playing the game, he suddenly went offline.
The other buddies were a little anxious, fearing that he would not be able to think about it on New Year's Eve, so they called him to ask him what was going on.
He said that his wife called him and said that she was not going to her mother-in-law's house. She was in the car and had already started driving.
He simply threw away the game and went downstairs to buy groceries and cook New Year's Eve dinner for his wife.
The buddies in the group began to curse.
There is no humanity in people of the opposite sex!
Only a wife and no brothers.
Who said just now that when his wife came back, he asked him to find his mother-in-law?
No matter what the group said, that guy didn't say a word.
Gu Xu thought, a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't understand it very much at the time. Even if his wife came, it was still too late to tell his brother.
Now, he finally understood.
After Gu Xu finished washing, he looked at the time and saw that only five minutes had passed.
well!
How come it’s only been five minutes!
In the past, it took him ten minutes to wash up quickly, but today it only took five minutes.
And he felt that it had taken a long time, and it couldn't possibly be only five minutes.
call!
Gu Xu's heart was heavy, there was still no sound on the phone.
Forget it, I couldn’t sleep, so I took a shower.
It's better to go find your little wife and find out what's wrong with her.
Gu Xu put on her clothes, carried her schoolbag, and looked at the time. It was still five minutes to five o'clock.
Why is he so fast today?
But he felt that all the movements were the same as before, but time seemed to have been compressed a lot unconsciously.
Gu Xu opened the door, and the cold wind hurt his face like a knife.
The entire sky was dark blue, with a few weak cold stars hanging irregularly in the sky.
Gu Xu walked out of the alley. It was still early and there were no cars or people on the street.
It was inconvenient for him to hang by his arms, so he originally wanted to wait on the roadside.
But he felt like he couldn't wait even a minute.
He walked towards Lan Ruosi's house, took a few steps, and then started running.
His arms were hanging, his shoulders were shaking, and there was a dull pain.
In order to keep his hands from shaking, he held them with one hand to maintain balance.
He sprinted, feeling like he was competing in a Paralympic Games.
Soon, he came to Lan Ruosi's house.
He stood outside the yard and looked at the closed door of Lan Ruosi's house.
He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was three minutes past five.
I go!
He broke the record.
It actually only took eight minutes to run from his home to Lan Ruosi's home.
To be precise, it was less than eight minutes, and when he came out, he still took a few steps. Let me estimate it, five to six minutes.
At this time, I don't know if she is awake.
Gu Xu listened carefully to the voice on the other end of the phone. It was quiet and there was no sound.
Suddenly, Gu Xu saw the door of Lan Ruosi's house open.
ah!
Gu Xu was shocked. This was the first time he saw the door open after coming to pick up Lan Ruosi for so long.
He subconsciously hid behind the wall.
He stuck his head out again, and a fruit cart rolled out.
Gu Xu hurriedly ran back a few steps and ran to hide in someone else's yard.
There are many families in the alley of Lan Ruosi's house who have their own small yard.
Gu Xu hid and didn't feel relieved until he saw Lan Yaqin pushing the car away.
Gu Xu took a long breath.
It seems that I came really early today.
However, it's a good thing that I came a few minutes early. It would have been terrible if I had been a little later and bumped into Mama Blue!
Gu Xu thought as he returned to Lan Ruosi's yard and looked at Lan Ruosi's room.
The younger daughter-in-law said that her mother left before she woke up.
It seems that the little daughter-in-law hasn't woken up yet.
I don't know when she will wake up.
well!
She has to wait whenever she wakes up...
My little daughter-in-law, do you know that one more minute you sleep in the house is equivalent to a whole year when I sleep outside the house?
Wait a thousand years?
Gu Xu looked at it and smiled bitterly...
Gu Xu, don't blame anyone, you didn't find it yourself.
Lan Ruo misses home.
The sound of Lan Yaqin closing the door woke Lan Ruosi.
Lan Ruosi slowly opened her eyes and saw the mobile phone lying quietly next to her.
Only then did she remember that last night, she and Gu Xu were talking on the phone and fell asleep while talking.
Gu Xu should hang up the phone!
She picked up the phone and the call lasted 5 hours and 39 minutes.
Shock!
Gu Xu didn't hang up the phone?
She looked at the time, it was five ten, Gu Xu should be awake at this time!
"Gu Xu..." Lan Ruosi called softly.
"I'm here!" Gu Xu was very excited when he heard Lan Ruosi's voice coming from the other side of the phone. It seemed that his wait was not in vain.
Lan Ruosi was very excited when she heard Gu Xu's voice: "Gu Xu, are you awake?"
"I woke up."
"Gu Xu, I'm sorry, I fell asleep last night." Lan Ruosi felt very guilty.
"It's okay, I know you're asleep."
"Then you know I'm asleep, why don't you hang up the phone!"
"I'm afraid you wake up and want to say something to me again. What if you can't find me?" Gu Xu said.
"Gu Xu..." Lan Ruoxi said, Gu Xu, I love you.
But before she could finish speaking, her voice was choked and tears flowed from her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a figure through the gap in the curtains. Wasn't that Gu Xu?
