Gu slanted sitting on the main seat of the conference room, with a total of seven or eight people sitting on either side, all in suits and leather shoes, with either a laptop or a meeting record book and a pen in front of him. A young man was standing next to the projection screen. Explaining their own plans, other people listened quietly, and from time to time they put forward their own opinions in the gap between the end of the speech.

In the middle of the meeting, the door was suddenly opened. The young man on the stage stopped talking, and the assistant walked to the side of Gu Xie and whispered under the sight of a group of people.

"your phone number."

Gu Xie stood up without hesitation and said to everyone.

"Wait for five minutes."

Like losing a pack of wolves suppressed by wolves, a group of people looked at each other and talked quietly.

"I remember the boss never answering the phone during a meeting."

"The boss does not answer the phone at the meeting, but only answers the boss's mother's phone, but the boss's mother doesn't call the boss very much. I heard that the boss will call her mother on time."

The man widened his eyes in surprise, looked at his colleague for a long time, and said entangledly.

"It's kind of unimaginable."

The name Gu Xie sounds like a little rebellious young man, but in fact Gu Xie is a tall man, a 1.9-meter big man, and a good figure. It can be called the word bee waist and ape back. You can wear a suit. Vaguely see the outline of the muscle knots under the clothes.

This kind of big man who looked a bit fierce would turn out to be someone who called his mother on time.

Over there, Gu Xie walked quickly into the empty meeting room next to him.

"Hey, you have returned home, why didn't you tell me?"

There is a woman on the phone.

"Little Wang at home is about to give birth, I don't worry, I have to go back and see, are you busy with work lately?"

"There's nothing more, I can go back tonight, how about Dad? How can I let you come back alone."

The woman seemed a little annoyed.

"He, he is still abroad. He has to take me to do physical therapy. I am not sick and healthy, so I asked him to do it alone."

Gu Xie said patiently.

"You can say that if you don't want to do it, Dad listens to you, so running away makes me and Dad worried."

"I know, I won't tell you, I will be home immediately, so sleepy, go back to sleep."

When he hung up, Gu Xie handed the phone to the assistant.

"The ticket for the evening can be cancelled, and the itinerary for the next two days will be postponed. By the way, I called my father and said that my mother came back quietly by herself and reported that she was safe."

Gu Qingchi woke up very early this morning. He opened a small program on his mobile phone to record the itinerary. It recorded seven or eight itineraries. The first item was to go to bed and get up on time.

He ticked a check mark at the end of this item. Gu Qingchi has established a one-year itinerary, all of which are these items. He earnestly completes these most basic daily routines every day. If you look forward, you can see many days in the past. All of the itineraries have been checked. The second item of the itinerary is to make a healthy breakfast for yourself.

Not long after Gu Qingchi started learning to cook, he was not very proficient in the use of kitchen utensils. He clumsily fried eggs for himself, cooked a little broccoli, and finally poured a glass of milk to cancel the second trip.

Several other options were ticked one after another at the end of the day. Only the last one was left. After going out once, Gu Qingchi thought about it and decided to go to the supermarket after a short time. There were not many vegetables left in the refrigerator. Little raccoon's cat food is gone.

There is a big supermarket next to the community. Gu Qingchi first went to buy some groceries after taking a few bags of cat food and a bunch of cans according to the cat food brand often eaten by small raccoons.

Now is the time for discounts in supermarkets. The surrounding neighborhoods are mostly elderly residents, and the vegetable area is crowded with a group of people, most of whom are elderly aunts and grandpas.

Even if the clothes of Gu Qingchi are private clothes, they are matched by professional costumers. The patterns and styles are very distinctive. They are tall and tall. They are a bit taller among a group of colorful grandpas and aunts. They are very conspicuous and eye-catching. , But I didn’t notice it. I felt safe when I wore a mask. I got into the grocery shopping army quite naturally and moved with the flow of people.

Outside the supermarket, in a private car, a woman is leaning on her seat, and there are drinks and a plate of exquisite cake on the small table next to her. She looks older and has fine wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. When the young and compelling girl is together, everyone's eyes will definitely be on her.

Age has not become her disadvantage. Her every move has a different style. She is especially moving, with good skin and decent makeup. It can be seen that she is used to living a life of dignity, but she is a little haggard for some reason. There is always some sorrow that seems to be absent.

She rubbed her temples with her fingers and told the driver.

"Xiao Wang, you go to buy some coke, Xiao Xie will come back today, and she must be clamoring about coke chicken wings again. Looking back, she has to mumble, and don't want to think, if he is not there, there is no coke at home."

The driver did not remind her that the little bit in her mouth had become the ruler of the Gu family under the guidance of her father.

"Yes, Mrs. Gu."

The driver just unfastened the seat belt, and before he could get out of the car, she said again.

"Buy some more—"

She stopped suddenly, what to buy? Who is it for? She got up inexplicably anxious, covered her chest, gasping for breath.

"Mrs. Gu!"

The driver quickly twisted his body, and even before he got out of the car to the back seat, he stood up and took a bottle of medicine from the refrigerator in the car.

But she was blocked by Mrs. Gu's hand, she remembered, buy something for her child, her little side.

She slowly let go of her hand, almost breathing lightly.

"I'm fine. I just forgot to buy something for Xiao Xie. I'll go with you. I haven't been to the supermarket for a long time. Maybe I remembered it when I saw it."

The driver answered hesitantly, and finally put the bottle of medicine in his jacket pocket.

Mrs. Gu often scans the goods in major luxury stores. A group of people greets her and serves her alone. She is also vigorous when she goes to the supermarket. The driver wears a neat suit, wears white gloves, and pushes the shopping cart. Following her, I bought a Coke first, and then went shopping in a great mood. The neatly arranged goods were available for selection, which made Mrs. Gu a little happy.

"Madam, your call."

Mrs. Gu happily put down a bottle of juice in her hand.

"It must be a small oblique call. He went back and didn't see me. He must urge me to go home. This kid just loves to act like a baby. Let's not go shopping anymore. Go home soon.

Gu Xie secretly sighed over there. He has matured prematurely since he was a child, and was taught by his father to take care of his mother.

He subconsciously softened his voice, did not refute, but followed Madam Gu's words.

"Yes, mother, be careful on the way home."

Mrs. Gu was a little impatient.

"I know, I bought Coke, and go back to make your favorite Coke chicken wings."

"Xiao Xie is getting more and more serious. She obviously wrestled when she was a child, and she would cry and ask me to hold her. How cute you were then."

Mrs. Gu was a little angry as she spoke.

"It's all to blame for your father. You have to let your son inherit his father's inheritance. Since then, his personality has become smaller and older. Obviously Xiao Xie likes to play the piano with his mother. You played the violin as a kid."

"It was my fault."

Gu Xie agreed and retorted silently in his heart.

He really likes cola chicken wings, but he doesn’t cry to behave like a baby with his mother. Gu Xie has the same temper as his father, because he fell down and asked his mother to be like a baby. Even Gu Xie would not do such a shameful thing when he was a child. .

Mrs. Gu didn’t deliberately joked about Gu Xie, she truly believed that her children like to act like coquettish and snacks, and have outstanding artistic talents. Mrs. Gu herself learned from the famous piano masters, and was extremely talented when she was a student. Excellent, not a small reputation, if it weren't for a few years ago, she should have been well-known by now.

Mrs. Gu was spoiled by the family when she was a child, and when she grew up being spoiled by her father, she never felt wronged. After marriage, she has a servant for cooking and housework, and a childcare teacher to take care of the child with her father. Life is carefree.

It should be like this, but artists seem to have a delicate soul and sensitive nerves.

Even with the meticulous care of the whole family, after losing her second child in an accident, her fragile nerves collapsed. She cried all day and even imagined a child, a beautiful and obedient child who likes to act like a baby.

But in fact, the child died right after she was born. She hadn't even seen the child, and hadn't spent even one day with him.

Gu Xie can understand the grief of a mother losing her child, but Madam Gu has been in grief for a long time. When everyone came out, Madam Gu still refused to accept this reality until now.

Gu Xie couldn't empathize with this. Even when he was notified that he had lost his young brother, he didn't really feel it. Maybe it was because he was too young at the time to understand the meaning of life and death. He only remembers his mother's crying all day long. , Insanely called him to play the piano and hugged him tightly. The atmosphere at home was so stagnant that he could barely breathe. These were what impressed him the most.

For so many years, Gu Xie and Father Gu took care of Mrs. Gu carefully. She slowly got better. She stopped crying all day, because she was so sad that she had forgotten the death of her second child, although she often remembered it wrong. Things, but compared to her previous situation, it is now considered very good.

Everyone pretended that nothing happened, and no one took the initiative to touch the wounds and taboos of the whole family.

But Mrs. Gu put the maternal love that has nowhere to be placed on Gu Xie. Gu Xie is often reminded that he once had a younger brother. If he grows up safely and healthily, he will be a beautiful and coquettish. child.

The details that Mrs. Gu conceived were sometimes too specific, and the specifics made Gu Xie feel in a daze that he really has such a brother who is cherished in his hands.

Sometimes Gu Xie would think, if this child really exists and leaves, and he has really gotten along with this child, then he might collapse just like Mrs. Gu.

Thinking about this, Gu Xie can gradually understand Mrs. Gu’s collapse. She spent ten months with the child day and night, but the small life she had been looking forward to disappeared suddenly. Coupled with the fragility after giving birth, she was Tortured by this kind of pain to be insane.

So Gu Xie became more concerned about her mother, almost to the point of being a soldier.

People are too fragile, just like the little brother he has never met before, before he even noticed that he hadn't spread his leaves toward the sun, and he had withered.

Mrs. Gu complained enough over there, and became happy again, she put the drinks in her hand into the shopping cart.

"Then Xiaoxie is obedient at home. We will bring Coke back to make the Coke chicken wings you like."

Gu Xie agreed, and then said.

"Dad's plane will arrive tomorrow. Don't do this next time. Dad is very worried about you. Just now he told me that you would not answer his phone."

"I see, I took Xiao Wang's, and he can do everything. I didn't answer his phone for a reason. After answering it, I must be nagging and educating me for a long time. I don't like to listen to him."

Madam Gu glanced over the crowd unconsciously, and suddenly stopped.

She locked her eyes to a point in the crowd, slowly dropped her hand, and released the phone.

Gu Xie could only hear a crash, and he lifted his heart, raising his voice.

"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?"

After a while, there was a sound again on the phone, the sound of pushing the shopping cart, and the driver, his tone was a little uncertain.

"Madam suddenly ran to the vegetable area, as if she saw an acquaintance?"

"Okay, Xiao Wang, take good care of your wife, don't hang up, I will drive over now."

When Gu Xie spoke, the car had already started and set off from the garage. Over the years, he has dealt with situations like this many times, especially in the previous years, when Mrs. Gu’s condition was the most serious at that time. He talked and laughed, and in the next second he cried hysterically. Madam Gu didn’t believe in other people, and only relaxed a little bit with the comfort of Gu’s father. Gu’s father never did nothing about Madam Gu’s affairs, but he After all, a person has limited energy, so Gu Xie began to help his father take care of his mother when he was a child.

Madam Gu walked too quickly, her high heels slammed, and she leaned forward, subconsciously grabbing the cuff of the person in front of her.

And the other party instinctively turned around and held Mrs. Gu.

The phone was still connected, and Xiao Wang followed Madam Gu. Gu Xie could hear Madam Gu's conversation with others very clearly from the noisy voices.

"Do I know you? Do you know me?"

The other side was quiet for a while, and there was a hoarse, cold voice, like cold raindrops suddenly pouring down on a sultry summer afternoon.

"I don't know, ma'am."
