When You’re Gone

Liang Shu went out with Liang Jiujiu. It rained again last night, and the road was still wet.

There were some potholes on the road at the entrance of the unit building. Water accumulated at this moment. Liang Shu picked up Liang Jiujiu and crossed the puddle.

At the corner of the road, there is an old Dianpu, a tree that is over one hundred years old, but it is still growing luxuriantly.

At this time, the trees full of fresh green gradually turned into a dense shade.

At this moment, there was a person standing under the tree, still wearing a black shirt and trousers, lined up stiff and long.

His eyes changed color from the moment Liang Shu and Jiujiu came out of the unit building.

The morning wind was a bit cold, Liang Shu put down Jiujiu, then squatted down and buttoned all the buttons on her coat.

Liang Jiujiu was bargaining with her, "Could you leave two buttons unbuttoned?"

"No." Liang Shu was tough.

"Which one?"

The final result speaks for itself.

When Liang Shu got up and pulled Jiujiu forward, his eyes suddenly met those deep black eyes.

Liang Jiujiu saw it too, but she followed Liang Shu this time, staring at him curiously with her eyes wide open.

There was only a brief pause, and Liang Shu led Jiujiu to continue walking.

When passing by Gu Hansheng, Liang Jiujiu let go of Liang Shu's hand. She raised her head to shower Liang Shu and blinked, "Mom, go drive first, and I will wait for you here."

Liang Shu raised his brows and looked at the man who stood aside and wanted to step forward but stopped several times.

She snorted without a smile, "Want to have sympathy again?"

Liang Jiujiu never saw Gu Hansheng at first. She shook her head, "No, it's raining. There are too many puddles on the road. You have to hold me and your hands are tired. Mom, drive over to pick me up."

It's as if she doesn't know how careful she is if she doesn't care about Gu Hansheng and Liangshu.

However, she didn't intend to restrict Liang Jiujiu from interacting with people, so she left her where she was and drove the car over to the parking lot by herself.

When Liang Shu left, Liang Jiujiu turned and walked towards Gu Hansheng.

But it stopped when he was a few steps away.

A girl doll carved with pink jade, half-length soft hair draped over her shoulders, trimmed bangs, braided on both sides, pinned with pink butterfly clips.

Gu Hansheng's heart was so soft that he wanted to step forward, but he dared to step forward again. He could only stand still and look at her, the whole person looked very cramped.

This situation is quite rare in Gu Hansheng.

He is a courageous and admired **** in the business world. Now facing a four or five-year-old female doll, he is panicked and at a loss.

Liang Jiujiu pinched the strap of the schoolbag in both hands, frowned and stared at the ground in front of him. She raised her head hard and looked at him, "Are you in a bad mood?"

A Shu said that only when a person is in a bad mood will smoke.

And by this uncle's feet, cigarette butts were almost piled up into a hill.

Gu Hansheng opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat was dumb. He squatted down and tried to make himself feel less oppressed.

"Uncle is not in a bad mood." He said.

Hearing what he said, Liang Jiujiu immediately jumped forward in two steps. She bent down slightly, leaning forward with her small body, staring at his chin curiously, "Uncle, you have a beard..."

No blame for her asking, after all, the role of father is missing from her side in the past few years.

Adult men like this, especially those with their own charm like Gu Hansheng, have little contact with Liang Jiujiu.

She knows the nouns such as boyfriend, husband, and husband, but she does not know the meaning behind these nouns.

Hearing what Liang Jiujiu said, Gu Hansheng raised his hand and touched his chin.

Liang Jiujiu took another step forward. At this moment, the distance between the two of them was very close. Gu Hansheng subconsciously wanted to step back. During the two or three hours he stood here, he did smoke a lot of cigarettes. At this moment, he was afraid of him. The smell of smoke will smoke her.

But Liang Jiujiu was not afraid. She asked Gu Hansheng, "Uncle, can I touch it?"

Action precedes consciousness. When he reacted, he had already held Liang Jiujiu's hand and pressed her palm to his chin.

For Jiujiu, this feeling is very strange.

She had an unbelievable look, with big bright eyes open, and her palm slowly moved on his pierced chin.

"Jiu Jiu, I am not a stranger." He said.

These words reminded Liang Jiujiu.

She retracted her hand and looked at him, "But mom said you are, and," she bit her lip with her white teeth, "I have never seen you."

Gu Hansheng's face was ashamed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. Although hesitated, he reached out and touched the top of her soft hair. "It's me who was not good. I didn't find you before. Jiujiu will see me often in the future. of."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the car.

Gu Hansheng stood up and smiled at her, "Mom is here."

Liang Jiujiu turned her head and looked at it. It was indeed Liang Shu who was driving over. She ran to the side of the road in two steps, not forgetting to wave with Gu Hansheng.

Over there, Liang Shu got out of the car and opened the door for Liang Jiujiu. He fastened her seat belt and closed the car door. Only then did Liang Shu walk towards Gu Hansheng who was still standing under the lush Yunnan hackberry tree.

He stood up straight and looked at her.

Liang Shu realized that he couldn't understand him.

She thought she had made it clear yesterday, but she didn't understand why he appeared here this morning.

"A Shu." He called her.

Liang Shu frowned almost inaudibly, "Gu Hansheng, I thought we had reached a consensus yesterday."

He looked at her with deep eyes, "What consensus?"

"Don't bother me, live your own life."

"Impossible A Shu, I can't do it." He said without any hesitation.

Liang Shu felt a little annoyed, and her fingers dangled on her side. She looked down at the cigarette butts piled up on the ground and his wet short hair. She didn't know how long she had been standing here.

She was a little helpless, "What do you want?"

"I just want to see you and... Jiujiu." Gu Hansheng's voice is low and deep, and the hoarse tone involves wireless softness.

"You will cause me trouble like this." Liang Shu said directly.

Gu Hansheng touched his nose, his eyes remained motionless, "I won't disturb you."

Liang Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

She closed her eyes, and said with her forehead: "You came here once last night, and the neighbor was asking me if you were Jiujiu's father. You tell me now that you don't disturb us, Mr. Gu, do you want to do this again? Stand?"

Should we stand again? Gu Hansheng felt that this term did not fit him well.

He said, "I was originally Jiujiu's father—"

"You are not." Liang Shu interrupted him, "I really don't have the energy to think too much. Let's pass the past. Time changes. Let's get together and get together, can't we?"

He didn't speak, the faint smell of tobacco mixed with the fascinating woody masculine scent entered the cool nose, some fatal familiarity.

He took a step forward and moved his fingers hanging on his side, and his thin lips made a slight curve, "A Shu, you don't even know what kind of life I am living."

"I don't know but I'm not interested." She looked at him, "I'm pretty good now."

"Yeah." Gu Hansheng lowered his eyes slightly, and there was always something like a haze in his eyes.

He also thought it was pretty good.

But he can't do without her.

Liang Shu walked toward her car. Halfway through, she turned her head back and found that he was still standing under the tree, his figure slightly more squat than before.

At this moment, he was holding a lighter and lighting a cigarette. There were a lot of people coming and going. Everyone looked sideways at him. There were no more than a few looks in their eyes: amazing, curious, and doubtful.

I don't know why, Liang Shu always has a hunch that this cannot be the end.

She sent Liang Jiujiu to the kindergarten here, and then drove to work.

This car was still the scooter Mo Xiangsi gave her. She had no money. Later, after she became sober, she didn't want to trouble Mo Xiangsi too much, so she took Liang Jiujiu to rent a house again and found a job.

It is difficult to find a job.

She used to hang around in the dungeon. Under the shadow of Lu Jinsheng, she didn't even dare to find a serious job at that time, and she would soon become ashamed.

So I can only be a croupier in a dungeon, and occasionally be a companion to others, earning some appearance fees.

This kind of experience cannot be talked about on the table.

I repeatedly bumped into the wall during the interview. At the beginning, I would be disappointed and anxious. Later, I was numb.

Later, she joined a bank by chance. She was lucky. The leader of the bank was from Yucheng, and Chongliangshu would speak Chinese and hire her.

I did encounter a lot of trouble at the beginning, but later, it stabilized, and the salary was decent.

She and Jiujiu can make it through.

At noon that day, Liang Shu took an extra hour off.

Originally, the manpower was tight and the approval of leave was a little suspicious, but the situation of Liang Shu was relatively special among all the employees, and the team leader was approved.

Here, people of the same age group as Liang Shu, male or female, live relatively well.

Normal work during the day, you can free yourself during non-working hours, and her colleagues are regular visitors of playhouse.

But she is different. In their eyes, she is a beautiful single mother, with a calm personality and a little conservative. Some people even think she is very rigid, with almost no entertainment or social interaction.

Living in this era, how can anyone still live like her?

All the blind dates she has seen in the past year are people from the Z country.

There is no other reason, she is afraid of language barriers, plus she has no good feelings for foreign men.

Liang Shu's blind date this time is three years older than her. He looks good. He works as a venture capital consultant in a bond company. He talks and works well and treats her well.

The bank where she worked had dealt with this person, the company, and the other day we met because of business reasons, but the other party didn't let her pay for it, so it was pretty generous.

That time, after work, the other party and her probably had some information. He came to Budapest with his mother. It was not easy at the beginning. He also worked **** his own, and now he barely achieved some results. In terms of position, , His position and salary are considered decent.

But when we met this time, Liang Shu found that this man was too Oedipus, like a mother-in-law.

Going further, you can find that nine out of ten of the man's ten sentences are not far from his mother.

Liang Shu feels that filial piety is a traditional virtue, worthy of praise, but it is too Oedipus, that is the lack of a certain aspect of a person's character.

In addition, along the way, the role of mother has never been shining in her life. Auntie is like this, and Wen Mingting is like this. She can be regarded as heartbroken by the two words "mother", and she feels this blind date. Already basically out of play.

She bluntly said what she thought in her heart, "Mr. Geng, I am an orphan, and I have no idea about my mother since I was a child, and I have had a failed marriage, so your mother is the first priority in everything, so don't even think about it."

This is a bit blunt, and a bit rude, but it doesn't matter if you are cool.

Some people can hurt people and the invisible, why can't she hurt people in the tangible?

Mr. Geng's eyebrows were raised, his face was already a bit ugly, but Liang Shu's stunning face was reflected in his pupils, so he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said, "Then what do you want? We? Make a compromise."

Liang Shu's fingers on his knees rubbed against each other, with a pleasant smile, "No compromise, no matter when or what happens, take me first, take me first."

For marriage and family, Liang Shu's remarks were too rebellious. Mr. Geng was furious and slammed the glass cup on the table, splashing most of Liang Shu's body with brown coffee.

"Miss Liang, I think I respect you enough. I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable! I heard that you have a daughter who is several years old. I think you fit my intentions and look good with me. It’s worth taking it out, but I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant of admiration. No wonder you can’t find the other half with an oil bottle."

Liang Shu's response was mediocre, and she seemed to have expected such a result a long time ago.

I was not worried at the moment, I just pulled two tissues to wipe the liquid splashed on my face, and then said, "Yes, I also have a daughter. Under the premise that everything is important to me, my daughter must be the first. ."

"You are dreaming!" Mr. Geng was so angry.

He stretched his right hand toward the cup of coffee, and when he picked it up, he wanted to splash it on Liang Shu's face—

Gu Hansheng appeared at this time. He grabbed Mr. Geng's arm and made him apologize with a cold face.

Mr. Geng was angry when he saw her now. He didn't expect that there was such a perverse and unreasonable heart under this beautiful skin.

He was going to get angry with the man who stopped him, but he turned his head and looked up to Gu Hansheng's gloomy falcon eyes. He lost his momentum for no reason, and was instantly at a disadvantage.

Gu Hansheng has only two simple words: apology.

Although he didn't know who Gu Hansheng was, he just clasped his arm with his fingers, and Mr. Geng felt the pain in his heart. He reluctantly apologized to Liang Shu and finally fled.

Gu Hansheng sat in the position where Mr. Cai Geng had sat.

For his appearance, Liang Shu was surprised for a moment, and then he calmed down.

She lowered her head to deal with the stains on her body with a tissue, her expression implied regret.

Gu Hansheng looked a little uncomfortable, and didn't know if she was sorry for the soiled clothes on her body or the blind date who had left.

Reluctantly cleaned up, Liang Shu raised his head and looked at the person on the opposite side. His eyes were a little different in the morning, and his nose was inexplicably sour. "You scared my future partner away. At the very least, let him settle the coffee money. ."

The man stared at her quietly, his eyes scanned the coffee stains on her clothes, his eyes were dull, and for a long time he said, "How about paying you?"

Liang Shu stood up, looked at him, smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, and looked particularly bland, "It's because I met people who are unsuccessful, no wonder others, Mr. Gu's image in my heart is not much better, you give me I'm not necessarily satisfied with the introduction. Let's not get involved."

But she always emphasized that they have nothing to do with each other, and they have nothing to do with each other now, but Gu Hansheng is still similar to cowhide.

The kind that can't be thrown away.

She put the coffee money on the table, turned and walked outside.

After exiting the door, someone grabbed his wrist.

"A Shu, it was my fault at the beginning, I..." He wanted to say that he divorced her just to start again, but now it seems that any of his explanations are just for excuse and justification.

After all, some damage has already occurred, and there is no way to reverse it.

She was indeed hurt by the divorce certificate and by him in the ice and snow that night, and she almost died in the fire.

On the streets where people came and went, Gu Hansheng hugged Liang Shu tightly in his arms, and every bone in his body was working hard. In fact, he wanted to do this since the day he saw her.

The hole in the heart is gradually filled.

Gu Hansheng said, "A Shu, let's start again, can we?"

Liang Shu stood numbly, without any response.

She noticed that the man's hot breath gushing down her neck, accompanied by warm and moist water stains, like tears, his voice choked and humble, it was not like Gu Hansheng.

Liang Shu's eyelashes trembled, and she sighed, "I would rather go on a blind date now than face someone like Mr. Geng than go back in time, Gu Hansheng, don't you understand?"

"I remembered something happened."

Gu Hansheng was breathing heavily, waiting for her to continue.

Liang Shu smiled, "Someone once envied me as your wife, Gu Hansheng, and said that it was the position that many famous ladies and ladies in Yucheng dreamed of. I remember I told them, if you can also let Mr. Gu drink your blood and take your blood. Pi, so can you."

After a pause, she continued to say in the tone she had just said: "But they don't know, I still have the pinhole on my arm that I gave Su Yan's blood transfusion the day before..."

Almost at the same time as she was talking, she noticed that the man's body was instantly stiff, and the strength to hold her increased.

Liang Shu blinked his eyelashes, "Ji Shen said you have difficulties, but who doesn't have any difficulties? The reason why we got to the point where we were back then is all because of the difficulties...cold life, people should look forward, I If you can let it go, so can you."

Once, when she called his name like this, Gu Hansheng felt that there was infinite tenderness lingering in his heart.

After many years, she called his name so again, and he only felt panic.

He would rather she hate him than she is like now, so calm and without ups and downs that she would yell when the two were between the bedclothes: Hansheng.
