dinner for three

There is no strong hug that I have become accustomed to on weekdays, and there is no gentle smiling face of the other party appearing in the hazy field of vision.Some are just exhausted after physical exhaustion and the changed sheets and crumpled pillows under her body. When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. In the empty room, Gu Miao got up and sat on the big bed, slack. The blanket couldn't keep out the slight chill.

Fortunately, today is a rest day, so I don't have to worry about going to class, and the pain in my ankle distracts my attention more than other unspeakable pains.

Thinking of the abnormality of the other party yesterday, Gu Miao endured the discomfort, changed his clothes and went downstairs, only to find that Xu Yifan was not at home. All signs indicated that he left home very early today.Unable to guess what the other party was thinking, Gu Miao still found breakfast in the kitchen.

Although it was completely cold, Gu Miao still ate cleanly without reheating it.

How hot the hug was the night before, how restless Gu Miao is now.He didn't even change the pajamas on his body. He was doing housework in a room alone. As usual, he washed the sheets and quilt covers, sorted Xu Yifan's clothes from the basket that had been put through the clothes, and carefully read the side The small label on the side separates the clothes that can only be sent to the laundromat from the clothes that can be washed by yourself. The washing machine can't hold so many clothes at a time, so Gu Miao moved a small basin and rolled up his sleeves in the bathroom to wash slowly.

The washed clothes were hung all over the balcony. Gu Miao didn't know if Xu Yifan would wash the clothes by himself when he was alone, but just imagined that person would also wear an apron to tidy up the wet clothes. soft.The faint scent of laundry detergent made Gu Miao feel at ease.Since Gu Miao started working, he hasn't cleaned it thoroughly for a long time.

Although the cleaning aunt will come to work on time, but in Gu Miao's heart, cleaning the house has never been a hard job.Instead, it's one of his few hobbies, and it feels like home when he sees his house become spotless thanks to his own efforts.

When the sky was getting dark, Gu Miao didn't even bother to take a sip of hot water, and immediately began to prepare for today's dinner. Looking at the refrigerator full of ingredients, the coming night made Gu Miao's heart skip a beat. He didn't know how the situation would develop, what Xu Linfeng was thinking, and whether Xu Yifan was tired of himself.While skillfully cutting the cabbage, he cut his own portion, thinking that Xu Yifan might come home on time, so he chopped another person’s portion, and when he was stuffing the rest of the cabbage into the refrigerator, he remembered that Xu Linfeng might Will show up hungry.Even if there was a risk of leaving the meal, Gu Miao still made Xu Linfeng's share, but unfortunately no one showed up on time.

Maybe he was not used to eating alone. When it was completely dark, Gu Miao patiently wrapped the cold food on the dining table and put it back. Without turning on the lights in the room, he moved a chair to the balcony. Going up, with the weak light, he could barely see the gate of the yard, and he could see his favorite flower tree, but it was a pity that his eyes were full of withered flowers.

Feeling so depressed that he couldn't breathe, Gu Miao opened the window, stubbornly refusing to close it even though the thin pajamas couldn't block the cold at night.The knee and ankle injuries began to hurt again, Gu Miao curled up on the chair, and fell asleep again in a daze.It seemed that a car came in. The glare of the lights and the sound of the engine pulled Gu Miao out of her sleep. Eager to see who was coming, Gu Miao stepped down from the chair, and before she had time to put on her slippers, she was naked. Stand there and open the window wider.

I even poked my head out to look in the direction of the garage, but couldn't see anything clearly, and was distressed when the lights in the room suddenly turned on.

Turning around as if frightened, he saw Xu Yifan standing at the door of the room, with his slender fingers still on the switch.Just as he was about to say something, he was blocked by the cold and unfamiliar eyes of the other party.Gu Miao was stung by the gaze that seemed to be looking at a stranger. He froze on the spot, allowing Xu Yifan's eyes to look at him, and finally fell on his bare feet standing on the ground.

——Wait for him to wait for a long time, he just talked to me on the phone.Will pick you up soon.

The explanation was stuck in his throat, he didn't know why Xu Yifan was so indifferent to him, so the other party turned and walked out.

Thinking that Xu Yifan probably hadn't had dinner yet, even though he was in a bad mood, Gu Miao stepped on his slippers and walked out from the balcony. He thought Xu Yifan's expression would ease when he saw the brand new house and the carefully prepared meals, but he didn't. Thinking of seeing these things, his complexion became worse and worse, and when Gu Miao brought out the hot food from the kitchen, his voice was also cold.

——I've eaten, it's so late, you don't even eat your meal, do you?

Slightly in a trance, Gu Miao lied stubbornly even though her stomach was still empty, and took away all the food.

Sure enough, I am still tired of it, and the disgust for my boring character has finally reached the level of being undisguised.

Just like what Xu Yifan said, Xu Linfeng really came here not long after.Looking at the two people in front of him, the three people who had lived peacefully in the same room for so long seemed to be strangers now.Whether it was Xu Linfeng's gentle and forbearing expression, or Xu Yifan's steadfast gaze, the answers that had been thought up for a long time suddenly became meaningless.

Even Xu Linfeng could tell that the Gu Miao at this time was different from the Gu Miao last night. He couldn't guess what happened between the two of them, which made Gu Miao, who was originally firm-eyed, start to waver. Xu Linfeng I began to feel that maybe I still had a turning point.

After all, there was no one who knew Gu Miao better than himself, and yesterday he couldn't accept the fact that Gu Miao wanted to choose Xu Yifan.

Even though it could be seen that Gu Miao still had a place in his heart, Gu Miao's eyes told him yesterday that he would continue to stay by Xu Yifan's side instead of accepting the freedom bestowed by someone who had deceived him.But now, Gu Miao began to waver.

——Sorry, I thought it over, I still...

Throwing out his last trump card, what Xu Linfeng wanted was to fight for himself one last time.

——Little Miaoer, listen to me, after you are free, don’t you want to meet your mother?

As if hearing something incredible, Gu Miao's original tangled expression disappeared, and he just looked at Xu Linfeng with an unbelievable look. He was sitting upright and gradually approached the other party, wanting to confirm whether what the other party said was true. of.

——When we were together, you know that I have been trying to find out the whereabouts of your mother, just to avoid your father's harassment, and it is difficult to determine her whereabouts.But later, I still found her, and she was in a very bad condition at the time.Later, we used many methods, and her condition was finally stable.In case you don't believe it, I have been doing my best to support her treatment for more than a year.

After all, Xu Linfeng and Xu Yifan may not be Gu Miao's weakness, but her mother must be the most difficult thing for Gu Miao to let go of.

The mother and child who have been separated for more than two years, even Gu Miao dare not think about whether she has someone to live well in this world.

The sudden good news made it difficult for Gu Miao to control his emotions. Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. His appearance was extremely distressing.When Xu Linfeng stood up and hugged him tightly, he just stiffened his body, he couldn't see the fleeting pain in Xu Yifan's eyes, and he couldn't see Xu Linfeng's loss and loss.

—I want to see her.

When the tears meandered down, Gu Miao felt heartache.
