Chapter 109 Despair
For a long time after wrapping up, Gu Yunkai had nothing to do.
In addition to the usual publicity work, there is also the casting problem caused by Bai Hehe. Gu Yunkai's life is peaceful and smooth. Recently, even Sharp has become busy. It is impossible to find him to pass the time, so he simply went downstairs to talk to Weng Lou every day. They hang out together in the morning and learn how to plant flowers and grass. Both of them are not too young, but Weng Lou's mentality is much better than Gu Yunkai's. He is over 60 this year, but he still looks like he is in his thirties.
It's not like Gu Yunkai's "fading before you get old", 25 years old looks like 35 years old, always serious and slightly frowning, if it weren't for the diligent use of skin care products, there would probably be two more small eyebrows. The folds come out.
Weng Lou’s home is decorated in a simple and elegant way, a bit oriental and classical, but not old-fashioned. There are landscape paintings on the walls, blue and white porcelain bottles at the corners, mahogany chairs, and a few inconspicuous electronic products. Sofas, wooden stools everywhere.Not long after Gu Yun drove into the house, he almost thought that he had traveled through time and space and entered the house of some wealthy family.
Weng Lou went to the kitchen to pour tea for him. Gu Yunkai looked at it. Although the kitchen was in the same color as the outside, most of them were electrical appliances, including a kettle, a microwave oven and even an induction cooker. This made him feel relieved. He almost thought that Weng Lou was going to burn a stove to make a fire, and there was some kind of wood piled beside him.
In fact, it is not so exaggerated, but the atmosphere is indeed very strong.
Weng Lou lives alone and only has a dog. The dog is big and has fluffy fur, but the tail is not too long, and it is swaying up and down. It tilted its head slightly to look at Gu Yunkai, and grinned.Gu Yunkai touched its head tentatively, and Weng Lou came out with a tea tray and a set of tea sets. Seeing Gu Yunkai's uneasy look, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's very dear. , just stupid, I almost ran away with the dog dealer last time I went out for a walk."
Gu Yunkai couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and rubbed the big dog's head, the other party whimpered and leaned on his knee, accepting the guest's massage with peace of mind and openly.
"What kind of dog is this? What's the name?" Gu Yunkai ran along its back, feeling as if his hand had been sunk in marshmallows, covered with fluffy long hair, and felt to the touch. It was very thin and quite warm. He rubbed the dog's face, and he liked it very much, so he couldn't help asking.
But he was just asking casually, not intending to raise a dog. The two of them don't spend enough time together, so there is no time for pets.
"Native Dog, I call it Wusheng. I found its father on the street and named it General." Weng Lou poured two cups of licorice tea and said calmly, "The General is so fierce. I didn't When I came to live here, I found a secluded place to stay alone. On a thunderstorm day, the general suddenly brought this milk dog back. I don’t know if it’s his son or Lu yelled at the injustice, so he raised it together. Yes, the general left two years ago, leaving a military student here, this idiot has no aura of the general, he probably picked it up when he saw injustice on the road."
Gu Yunkai heard that it was interesting, smiled slightly, and stroked Xiao Wusheng's head twice, the big dog raised his head silly and glared at him, and he said softly, "It's very cute."
The two of them held tea and chatted all afternoon over some sweet pastries. Wu Sheng rolled around at their feet, from time to time wanting to touch one, occasionally rubbing the other's leg, and sometimes jumping. The upper chair squeezed next to Weng Lou's legs, like a naughty child.It can be seen that Weng Lou dotes on it very much, and he will only call it back when the big dog is next to Gu Yunkai. If it falls on his head, he will let the little Wusheng act like a baby.
It’s not the same as Gu Yunkai’s thinking. Weng Lou is a person who can catch up with the heat. Not long ago, he went to see "League of Secret Agents" by himself. Popcorn movie.It was only then that Gu Yunkai accidentally discovered that this "old gentleman" with oriental classical beauty was actually a fan of science fiction and violent aesthetics.
Unlike most of Gu Yunkai's social situations with purpose and interests in mind, Weng Lou is not very useful to him and has been retired for a long time. The reason why Gu Yunkai is interested in him is naturally impossible because he likes him. What kind of help the other party can bring him in his career, but purely curious about a contemporary legend, especially this legend has not changed beyond recognition so far.
Getting along with Weng Lou is as comfortable as a spring breeze. He has the calmness and stability accumulated over the years, and he is not lacking in vitality and enthusiasm. In addition, the two are considered "similar in age" in a sense, so they get along very well. .
The two played a game of chess with the scent of tea, Gu Yunkai was not very good at it, but Weng Lou was patient and taught him hand in hand, completely oblivious to the 'young man' in front of him who had lost his mind.Gu Yunkai didn't think about anything else, just talked with Weng Lou for a few games, and while killing the whole afternoon, he remembered Jian Yuan who could only play flying chess and backgammon, and smiled unconsciously.
Weng Lou looked at the black and white chess pieces, and then at Gu Yunkai who was smiling all over his face. He couldn't help but secretly admire: the young man's chess skills are good, and he can still smile when he is about to lose.
Gu Yun lost face all afternoon. He drank half a pot of licorice tea to clear his heart. After honestly petting the dog for a while, he went home. Weng Lou asked him to take a walk after dinner to digest food. Did not dare to agree.Before he left, he just turned his face away, and accidentally saw a photo frame on the table, but the light was not good, so he couldn't see any photos clearly, so Gu Yunkai didn't think much about it.
Eating alone at home is troublesome. After Gu Yunkai returned home, he regretted not having the cheek to eat directly at Weng Lou's house. He rummaged through the refrigerator and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself. While he was seasoning, his phone suddenly It rang.
It's Jian Yuan.
Isn't there a game tomorrow?
The noodles were gurgling and rolling in the pot, Gu Yunkai put the lid on the pot, simply turned on the hands-free, continued to cut his chopped green onions calmly, and asked, "What's the matter? There's a competition tomorrow, so I'm here today Need some confidence?"
"Mr. Smith said you bought the piano?" Jian Yuan didn't pick up the joke, his voice couldn't hear any waves, he paused, as if he just asked a small question out of curiosity, but it seemed that There were also some complicated emotions, "Why did you suddenly buy it? It is of no use to you."
Gu Yunkai found a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick holder, tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if thinking of something funny, suddenly smiled and said: "Because of you."
"Me?" Jian Yuan sounded a little nervous, "Why is it because of me? You already know? Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just... just think this is normal, I don't have any other thoughts, It's just... just want to keep it as a souvenir, don't be angry."
"What do you know..." Gu Yunkai was more or less inexplicable. He didn't understand what kind of conspiracy and tricks he had bought to make it work. It also involved his anger. He asked at a loss, "Why should I be angry?" "If Jian Yuan really has any ideas, or if there are any dark secrets about this piano, normally speaking, Smith should tell him.
He rolled his face between his legs, unable to figure out what was going on.
"Aren't you angry?" Jian Yuan sounded like weeping with joy.
"I don't know why I'm going to be angry." Gu Yunkai sighed helplessly, "I don't even know what you're talking about."
Jian Yuan's voice was a little weird again: "So you don't know?"
"What do I want to know?" Gu Yun asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Jian, do you intend to answer the doubts in Gu Mou who is not so bright?"
"Then why did you say it was for me?" Jian Yuan sounded even more strange.
Gu Yunkai said helplessly: "Seriously? Are we going to keep asking each other?"
Jian Yuan was silent for a while, then said cautiously: "Then I told you not to be angry."
"Go ahead."
"Actually, I have already discussed with Mr. Smith about the piano." Jian Yuan's voice was very low, sounding like an anxious cat, looking for its tail, the voice lowered and lowered. "Roman is my shadow, and you are playing Roman again. I don't want that piano to fall into the hands of others. I just want to spend some money to buy it. I don't want it to fall into the hands of others. Here, it’s charity anyway, whoever pays is not paying, right?”
Gu Yunkai blinked.
"I've tried very hard to restrain myself. I don't want to take over everything from you, just..." Jian Yuan couldn't continue, he tried very hard to restrain his growing possessiveness towards Gu Yunkai, for fear What irreparable damage would he cause, but the acquisition of the piano did have an undeniable selfishness, and he was not sure whether Gu Yunkai would like this kind of possessiveness that was pressing every step of the way.
Gu Yunkai has always been extremely tolerant and conceded to him, Jian Yuan didn't want to make himself look too reckless, as if he was aggressive.
"That's a coincidence." Gu Yunkai smiled, "I thought so too."
There was no sound from Jian Yuan for a long time, and Gu Yunkai didn't see any sound from the other party after clamping the mask. He thought the communication was hung up, but he looked at the time change minute by second, Still working hard and perseveringly wasting money on phone calls, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked, "A Yuan? Can you hear me? Did you drop your phone into the water or did you drop yourself into the water?"
"No." Jian Yuan's voice was muffled, and then Gu Yunkai heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the other party's cry of pain, the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground, he asked subconsciously, "Why? What are you doing? What are you talking about? Aren’t you going to compete tomorrow? Where are people going now???”
"No." Jian Yuan repeated again, the voice seemed to be coming from afar, and slowly approached the phone, he gasped and said, "I'm fine, I'm staying in the hotel now, um, no, I was just now Rolled on the bed, and then accidentally fell off."
"..." Gu Yunkai had nothing to say.
Jian Yuan immediately asked with the vigilance speed of the little wolfdog after being ignored by the owner: "Yunkai, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"What can I say? It's amazing! Rolling on the bed, you can roll yourself to the floor? Or should I praise you for rolling a butterfly, but it's a pity that you fell short, and you will continue to work hard to win a gold medal in the Ancient Olympic Games?" Gu Yunkai was very helpless. , he put his waist in his hands and said helplessly, "Don't talk about anything else, did you hurt your hand just now?"
Jian Yuan was wronged: "You only care about my hands?"
"...Your brain has been broken. I can't care about it anymore. It's useless to care about it."
"..."
A few years ago, even if Gu Yunkai killed himself, he would never have imagined that one day he would be so boring with another person, or another man, to kill each other with such boring talk.However, when he realized his irrationality, he realized that almost two hours had passed, his noodle sauce was a mess in the seasoning, and there was still a smirk on his face that he had just beaten Jian Yuan.
Hopeless.
Gu Yunkai poured the bowl of battered noodles into the trash can with no expression on his face.
He himself didn't know whether he was talking about himself or his face, or Jian Yuan who came to chat with him even though he was going to compete.
As for Jian Yuan in Pagani, he turned off the lights early, and lay motionless under the covers, blinking his eyes. After two hours of showing affection and devastation, his mobile phone was so hot that he could work as a hand warmer part-time.The windows were wide open, the curtains were pulled aside, and his hotel room was on the 25th floor, high up so he could see the stars clearly.
He was very nervous at first, especially under the "torture" of his father during this period, and the agreement he made with Gu Yunkai, which made Jian Yuan feel a little unconfident.
But now there is nothing.
Jian Yuan smiled and fell asleep under the stars.
…………
There was a live broadcast of Pagani's match, and Gu Yunkai originally wanted to sit and watch, but Wen Jing'an suddenly sent an invitation to him to participate.
In fact, the group of four hadn't gotten together for a long time. Gu Yunkai subconsciously asked Wen Jingan if he could change the time, but the other party asked him what's wrong.Gu Yunkai hesitated for a while, but told Wen Jingan that there was a live broadcast of her boyfriend's game from afternoon to night, and he didn't want to miss it. Wen Jingan seemed to have expected it long ago, and said kindly that he could change the meeting place to his home.
Wen Jing'an has always been tolerant and smooth, and always speaks in a pleasant manner. There are seldom times when it is difficult to refuse. Under normal circumstances, the other party should change his words and delay until after the matter is over, but since Wen Jing'an has said so, Gu Yun Kai frowned, but still agreed to him.
Both Henry and Wen Jingan came around noon, and Sharp estimated that it was an early morning flight. He was so sleepy that his hair turned into a chicken coop. He yawned, put on a nightgown, and dragged his slippers to Gu Yunkai's house for lunch. eat.Although I don't know what the outcome will be, Gu Yunkai prepared champagne and red wine for the celebration in advance. Anyway, the four of them will also drink at that time. They also ordered a lot of dishes. Sharp was not polite at all. Gu Zi sat down.
Henry and Sharp, who were still complaining to Gu Yun, were like two big children. When they saw someone coming, they stuck together without saying a word.
Gu Yunkai heard Henry complain that he wanted to bring Alyssa to participate—after all, Alyssa and Gu Yunkai had already worked together, and he thought it was time for Wen Jingan and Sharp to get to know Alyssa, so that they could start from an unstable situation. The square turned into an unstable five-pointed star-in this way, he and Alyssa are a blatant pair of five friends, so that Henry's goal of showing off his love madly can be achieved.
However, before this idea had time to come out of the cage, it was killed by Wen Jing'an.
And Wen Jingan's reason was that Gu Yunkai would not agree.
I don't agree?
Gu Yunkai looked at Wen Jing'an who was admiring the scenery outside the window in confusion. The other party stood there quietly, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and the hem of his suit was slightly wrinkled.He poured two glasses of wine, walked over to talk to Wen Jingan in a very natural way, Wen Jingan took the glass silently, swept his gentle eyes over Gu Yunkai, and said softly: "The time is coming, don't you want to turn on the TV?" ?”
"What?" The smile on Gu Yunkai's face froze slightly.
Wen Jing'an turned on the TV for him, and tuned to the channel of the Pagani Piano Competition. It was not too early, not too late. The competition was warming up to introduce the contestants. The first person, Gu Yunkai, did not know him. The other party briefly introduced himself. Then I talked about my thoughts on music.He turned his head to stare at Wen Jing'an, and subconsciously asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Yunkai, come here." Wen Jingan grabbed his hand and walked to the side, Sharp glanced at the two of them, and Henry, who looked over curiously, continued to eat happily.Wen Jing'an crossed her arms, hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "Let me ask you, do you really know who the other party is?"
Gu Yunkai was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Wen Jingan couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously said: "You have always been a very hardworking actor, and some of what I say next may not be pleasant, but..."
"I know, don't worry." Gu Yunkai interrupted, "I know he has a good background, but the two of us have already decided to make it public..."
"You already know that he is the grand marshal's nephew?" Wen Jing'an widened her eyes and said dumbfounded, "You still want to make it public? Are you crazy? Your career is gone?"
Gu Yunkai's hand subconsciously relaxed, the wine glass fell on the fluffy carpet, and the red wine spilled silently.
It was still daytime, but Gu Yunkai felt that his eyes were going black, and even his normal swallowing movements became difficult. His voice seemed to come from far, far away, and he couldn't hear it clearly at all, but in his heart Realizing what he was talking about, he was asking: "You said he was the Grand Marshal's nephew?"
Wen Jing'an was not only surprised, but completely stunned: "You don't know?!"
Ah Yuan!The level of this brave...is it too high!
Gu Yunkai felt a little dizzy, Wen Jingan immediately supported him when he saw that the situation was not good, helped Gu Yunkai to sit down at the table, handed him his wine glass, and watched him pick up the goblet After drinking it in one breath, he calmed down.Wen Jing'an's expression was complicated, with a helpless smile in her pity, she sighed and said, "You never asked him?"
"No one would ask your boyfriend, who is your uncle and what does he do?" Gu Yunkai couldn't help rubbing his brows, the red wine in his mouth eased his mood a little, he said helplessly, "I do know He has an uncle who is very strict with him, but at that time I only thought that the family was relatively close, not to mention that I thought he was from a musical family, and the uncle might be a musical instrument seller."
There was a strange look on Wen Jing'an's face, she looked like a smile but not a smile, but she probably felt that laughing out was too unfriendly to Gu Yunkai, so she held back, and even her voice trembled: "Mr. Jian Wenru was the court musician back then. Teacher, one of his two sons is the generalissimo of the army, and the other is Jian Wen, the sound of nature. He is usually called Mr. Xiao Jian. There are many famous musicians with the surname Jian, but usually this surname will be mentioned first. Thinking of their home, how come you have no clue?"
Gu Yunkai was also very sad and indignant in his heart: I fucking came here through the day after tomorrow, and I have worked very hard to make up for the basic knowledge, how did I know that I could do this trick for me!
"What are you going to do now?" Wen Jing'an said worriedly, "People of their level, to be honest, we can't afford to provoke them, and we can't hide from them. Pu admits that he trusts us, but if it is accidentally leaked out, I am afraid that the Grand Marshal will think you..."
There is no need to say more about what he said. Although the grievances and grievances of the rich and powerful in the novel are bloody, in fact, when a person is rich and powerful to a certain position, the things he can do will only be more cruel, colder, and crueler. Not to mention that the generalissimo had also served in the army.In the eyes of this group of people, there is not much difference between a celebrity and an actor. After all, they are all commodities for entertaining the public. Gu Yunkai can dislike the Generalissimo, but he has no strength to compete with the Generalissimo.
It was too late to know, he wasn't prepared for anything, and he didn't even leave himself a way out.
Gu Yunkai couldn't help but propped his forehead with his fingers. He really didn't know how to confess to Wen Jingan who cared about him. He will unscrupulously hold that trophy in front of the camera facing the whole world to express his love to himself.
At that time, the Generalissimo may be the number one trouble, and other things will follow.
Never tell him that Wen Jing'an will have a heart attack!
Gu Yunkai glanced at Wen Jingan's worried face, and couldn't bear to lower his head again. As for his heart attack, he was about to have a heart attack now.
He had never expected that the trophy of the Pagani Competition would continue to be empty like at this moment today.
