[Gu Jiajia: Gu He, since this is the case, you can take care of all your food this month. I'm menstruating and I can't cook ..]
[Gu He: Whose menstruation lasts for a month? ! How can you make this excuse.].
If Gu Jiajia was in front of Gu He, she would definitely catch him!
[Gu Jiajia: I can't help it. I've been unwell recently, so you have to cook your own food ~] Gu Jiajia also added a helpless expression.
Gu He looked at the message and gritted his teeth, [Gu He: You won! I'll be here soon. ]
After getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Jiajia smiled and gestured alright with her mother.
Gu He threw away his phone and went to take a shower. After taking a shower, he looked at himself in the mirror. He still chose the nicest clothes from the closet.
When he had just gotten out of the car and had yet to get into the restaurant, Gu He saw them through the glass door. Their mother and Gu Jiajia were sitting by the window. Their mother is almost 40 years old. Perhaps years of hard work had left a bit of trouble on his canthus, but his thick, shiny hair was still very dark. Although her eyes had a single eyelid, her eyelids were smooth and bright, and her frequent lips were slightly curved under her long nose showing little strength.
“Xiao Dia?” Gu He could feel the excitement in his mother's voice, but he did not answer her and put on a long face. Then he went straight to the table and sat down by himself.
Gu Jiajia looked at Gu He's annoying look, stretched his legs under the table, and kicked Gu He hard, hinting that he should not behave this way.
Their mother looks fine because she is used to Gu He's treatment like this, “Come, Xiao He, this is a special dish that Mother ordered for you. Try it and see if it's good."
Gu He was not so happy when he saw the dish that his mother put on his plate.
Instead, he said angrily, "I don't like fish anymore." Then he put it back...
Although she is very hungry now, she wants to show her mother that she has grown up and that her habits and hobbies have changed. Just because he doesn't exist, he doesn't know anything about it.
Gu Jiajia looked at Gu He and saw that he was not talking to their mother in a good manner. He was angry, but could not lose his temper now at such a family reunion. Looking at their mother who was not at all concerned about it, Gu Jiajia could only try to calm the atmosphere.
“Bu, He doesn't like fish anymore. I like that. You can give it to me. You can't be so partial!
“OK, okay... It's yours.”
Gu He looked at his smiling mother, and felt that she had changed, not as serious and ferocious as before. In the past, as long as he did something bad, he would be scolded. But now...
"Gu He, you can also help me prepare noodles in front of you!" Gu Jiajia shouted.
Gu He rolled his eyes and slightly fell silent, "Sister, you don't seem to be paralyzed yet, are those two hands useless? Will you not get it yourself! ”
"My hands are used to cook for someone ..." Gu Jiajia blinked her eyes intentionally, fiddling with the nails she had just polished.
“Sister, I get it, I'll get it for you now!”
If the gaze of one's eyes could kill others, now Gu Jiajia could have been dismembered by Gu He. This woman could do nothing but threaten him based on his seniority. He was born just a few years earlier than her!
Gu Jiajia nodded in satisfaction. Their mother who was sitting next to them also smiled widely, looking very happy.
As soon as Gu He saw his mother laughing at him, he stopped talking again and rushed to eat with his head lowered. He took out a piece of fish and put it in his mouth unnoticed by these two women.
Gu Jiajia had actually seen Gu He's sudden movements, but he pretended to see nothing. Today, a boy at this age will not understand an adult, just as he does not understand his mother at first. But when she graduated and also started working, she understood mom's hard work.
“Xiao Him, take your time!” Gu Jiajia looked at her mother who was still smiling looking at Gu He, and felt a little sad.
In order to prevent the awkward silence, Gu Jiajia continued speaking to ease the embarrassing atmosphere. After dinner, their mother took out a very delicate bag from her handbag.
“Xiao He, I brought two gifts for you and your sister. I've given your sister's property to her, and this one's yours.” Gu He looked at his mother's smile and doubted whether to accept it or not. However, thinking of the past, he still refused with cold eyes.
Gu Jiajia saw this and was extremely anxious. Gu He was really stubborn at the moment. Gu Jiajia took the gift and put it in Gu He's arms.
“Xiao He, open and take a look! I spent a long time choosing it. You might like it.” Their mother said expectantly.
But Gu He simply glanced at the gift in his hand and then threw it at the chair next to him while saying in an indifferent tone, "I don't need this gift, I don't need it, You better not come see me again."
Now even Gu Jiajia felt somewhat embarrassed at the table. He did not dare to persuade Gu He anymore. After all, no one could force him to accept something he did not want.
Their mother smiled wryly and quickly changed the topic of conversation, “Xiao She, mom has friends abroad. He recommended the university to me. Very good, do you want me to send you to study abroad?
Gu He's mother thought, 'Again, with Gu He's current grades, he definitely can't pass the university entrance examination. I have to make Plan B for him early.’
Gu He said angrily, "I don't need you to worry about my business. You didn't care about me before, but now you want to interfere!
“Xiao He, listen to me, it's time to accept reality. Your current grades will never get you into a domestic university. Gu He's mother said with great concern.
"I said it, leave me alone!" Gu He shouted, pulling the people around him to take a look.
Seeing their mother's annoyed face, Gu Jiajia was instantly enraged. He could not help but scold Gu He, "Why are you so stupid, how can you talk to mom like this!"
When Gu He heard this, he immediately stood up, and left without finishing his meal. Although his mother and Gu Jiajia kept calling him from behind, he did not turn around.
After leaving the restaurant, Gu He's mood was bad. Then he thought of Lin Xiao, so he called the boy, “Hei, Lin Xiao! Where are you?"
“At my grandfather's house. I came here today to be with him. What's wrong?"
Lin Xiao said by phone.
“Oh... It's okay, enjoy your time, I have to go.”
Gu He wanted to stay at Lin Xiao's house for one night, but he felt it was inappropriate and immediately hung up.
Tonight, he was determined not to go home. The money left on his WeChat account only amounted to more than ten yuan, and it was not enough to buy a hotel room. He could only end up spending the night at the cafe.
... There were all kinds of pedestrians on the street, and Gu He walked aimlessly on the street, his entire world turning gray. It seemed like he was the only one left alone in this world....
... Thinking about his childhood......
... He's quite depressed....
