Dont Be A Kept Man - Chapter 167
The next morning, 6:00
Gu Lai, lying on the bed, looked like a human alarm clock, and automatically opened his eyes when he arrived. He sat up straight, without the chaos and sleepiness of a normal person when he woke up. He got out of bed and folded the scattered thin sheets into neat pieces of tofu. Flatten the sheets, then wash out and get ready for work.
The phone was fully charged last night. Gu Lai habitually checked the news and saw that Shen You had passed his friend application. He couldn’t help but squinted and smiled. The dimples on his cheeks were looming. He sent a “good morning” greeting and ran. Go to the construction site.
The brick-moving business eats youth meals, which is quite detrimental to the body. Many people suffer from illnesses in their early forties, but relatively speaking, the salary is also very high. As long as they work hard and earn more than 10,000 a month, it is not a problem.
Gu Lai is a different kind of them. It’s not as good as it is to have good physical strength. Anyway, the foreman has been working for so many years, and he has never seen anyone stronger than him. He climbed the stairs several times with the concrete on his back on a hot day, and his face was not red or panting. , Never shout tired, one person can do three people’s work, the salary is twice as high as others.
Gee, it’s just that face was blinded.
During the lunch break, Gu Lai went to a nearby fruit stall to buy two boxes of cut ice watermelons, and then found a shady corner to sit and eat, silently thinking about whether to buy milk tea at night.
There was a girl passing by not far away. She just glanced at him at random, but she couldn’t walk when she saw him. However, because of Gu Lai’s temperament that no strangers should come near, she did not dare to step forward, but lifted up quietly. I took a photo with my mobile phone and talked to my girlfriend in a low voice: “Oh my god, what kind of bricks are you looking so handsome? Online video shooting is absolutely popular.”
The best friend also covered her mouth and screamed in a low voice, “Ah, ah, ah, so handsome! You took a copy of me, and the number of likes on Weibo will definitely be high.”
Gu Lai was originally lowering his head and heard that the tip of his ears moved. He raised his eyes to look at the girl, his pupils flashed a touch of cold inorganic data, and then he continued to eat his watermelon.
“Fuck,” I don’t know what happened, the girl who took the picture suddenly changed her face and shook her phone vigorously, “Why the screen is black, I bought it new!”
My girlfriend’s hot fan kept standing, and she didn’t have the patience to continue standing: “Oh, is the sun too bright? Find a shaded place to see, I’m almost drying up.”
However, when they played with their phones again, Gu Lai was no longer in the original place.
Shen You had insomnia last night and was only able to fall asleep in the morning, so he missed Gu Lai’s news. When he woke up in the afternoon, his temples were suddenly painful, which was a sequelae of long-term alcoholism.
Shen You closed his eyes and frowned. After lying on the bed for a long time, he relaxed. He stretched out a hand and touched the phone indiscriminately. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. It turned out that he found out that Ke Jing and Tang Yishan had no nutritious chat messages. , And then Gu Lai’s “good morning”.
No nutrition.
Shen You was expressionless, sat up, took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette. The face that was always sarcasm in the smoke became blurred. He unconsciously fiddled with his phone for a long time, thinking about it for a long time and didn’t want to understand. What is Gu Lai doing?
Want to compound? But this posture is not like chasing people.
Want to break? But adding friends for no reason, you can’t just play that kind of **** breakup and want to be friends.
With yesterday’s lesson, Shen You didn’t ask Tang Yishan’s dog-headed sergeant this time, but he thought for a long time and didn’t know what to reply, and finally threw the phone aside, intending to watch the changes.
Humans need to maintain a good schedule of work and rest in order to keep their physical functions in a healthy state. Gu Lai’s work is over-completed every time. He is not in a hurry to work overtime like others to earn money, leaving get off work on time at seven every day.
The foreman had a good image of him: “Gu Lai, you get off work so early every day, go back to accompany your wife?”
Gu Lai shook his head seriously: “There is no wife.”
The foreman patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: “A pretty handsome guy, how silly and stunned, there is no one now, there will be one in the future, remember to call us when the time comes.”
daughter in law?
Gu Lai thought for a while. Marriage seems to be part of life, so is it necessary to be married? He jogged home, and when he walked to the door, he happened to see Yu Xi going out and was about to say hello. However, when he raised his eyes to see the other side’s appearance, all Gu Lai’s words were blocked in his throat.
Today, Yu Xi painted black European and American makeup, her hair tied into a high ponytail, her collarbone was painted with silver highlights, her figure was fiery, and in the eyes of normal men, it was a very wild beauty. She saw Gu Lai wondering about herself. He said, automatically defaulted to stunning, smiled and cast a wink: “Am I good-looking?”
“…It’s pretty,” Gu Lai stretched out his hand and gestured, trying to describe it, “It’s like a gleaming preserved egg.”
Yu Xi: “…”
Oh, thank you so much.
Yu Xi glanced at the cement marks on his clothes and looked up and down: “You just moved the bricks back, right?”
Gu Lai nodded: “Well, how about you?”
Yu Xi habitually wanted to fiddle with the hair on her shoulders, but found that it had been tied into a high ponytail, so she had to do it, and said enthusiastically: “I have an appointment with my friend to watch a movie. Today is the premiere of “ET”. , Remember to see it, you will regret it for life if you miss it!”
Gu Lai is now in a state of being relatively new to everything. He tilted his head when he heard the words: “Movies? Can you take me with you?”
“It’s not appropriate,” Yu Xi touched him lightly with her arm, her eyes look like a female rascal, “I will go to see with my boyfriend, you should not be a light bulb, next time my sister will invite you, or you can make an appointment by yourself Go out to watch, but remember to grab the ticket in advance.”
Gu Lai was stunned for a moment: “Didn’t you break up?”
Yu Xi said, “Can’t we talk anymore? Okay, let’s not talk. I have an appointment for dinner. Time is too late. Let’s go.”
When Gu Lai saw her disappearing at the corner of the corridor, he opened the door to enter the house, took a shower as usual, and then changed his dirty clothes. He originally wanted to go to bed directly, but when it was early, he searched on the phone. For the movie that Yu Xi just mentioned, it was found that there were still shows at 9 o’clock in the movie city near the city center, but there were not many places left.
Gu Lai counted and found that his current friends seemed to be Yu Xi, Shen You, and Yang Mian. After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Shen You: [Do you want to watch a movie together? 】
Regarding the movie, it would seem a bit ambiguous no matter who it is on. The moment Shen You saw the news, a sentence that Tang Yishan said yesterday rang in his mind-he wanted to soak you.
He wants to soak me?
Shen You replied to him after a minute: [When? 】
Gu Lai seconds back: [9:10 tonight, Stellar Cinema City. 】
Shen You wanted to see what tricks he played, and agreed: [OK. 】
When watching a movie, you can buy milk tea and eat popcorn. Gu Lai squinted at the other end of the screen. He is still so sweet that people can’t make mistakes: [Okay, I will pick you up at 8:40. 】
After talking about buying two tickets online, he found that the time was a bit tight and there might be traffic jams on the road, so he didn’t blow his hair and went out with the key.
Gu Lai arrived at the gate of Shen Youjia community precisely at 8:40. His hair was half-dry, with slightly damp water vapor, and his upper body was a casual shirt with black and white contrasting colors. The buttons were still tightly buttoned to his apple. The place, the face is deceptive, the temperament is rigorous, it is a complete contradiction.
The original form of the system is a ball of light, and there are no facial features, so when there is no one, Gu Lai will habitually maintain a state of expressionless face, seeming to stay away from strangers.
Shen You faintly felt that he had changed a lot from before, but he didn’t want to think about it. He pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot, still smelling of alcohol.
Gu Lai looked at his too pale face and apparently abnormal mental state, and then said, “You are drinking again.”
After sniffing, continue to add: “You still smoke.”
Shen You didn’t look at him, leaning on the back of the chair, calming his stomach aching, his tone was meaningless: “Oh, what about that.”
Gu Lai stretched out his hand to fasten his seat belt, then whispered and calmly said: “It’s not good for your health, your health is very poor.”
Shen You smelled a fresh smell of shower gel between his nose, but it quickly dissipated. He opened his eyes, looked at the seat belt on his body, and looked at Gu Lai expressionlessly. Unfortunately, the latter was very focused when driving. , So the eyes of the two are not aligned.
Shen You habitually wanted to smoke, but when he first reached into his trouser pocket, Gu Lai looked as if he had eyes. He didn’t even look at it. He held him with a hand from the steering wheel, and said warmly, “Don’t smoke. ”
He could see that the human being in front of him had been drinking and smoking all the year round, and his body was already a bit poor.
The warm touch on his thigh made Shen You’s eyes widened for an instant. Damn, what a rogue, he frowned and said anxiously, “Hands away!”
“it is good.”
Gu Lai obediently retracted his hand: “Then don’t smoke, it will be short-lived.”
“…”
Shen You silently closed his eyes. He didn’t want to talk because of stomachache. He felt that his brain must have been kicked by the donkey, otherwise why would he go out to watch a movie with such a person.
Gu Lai parked his car to the side of the movie city and found that the street was very bustling, with colorful neon lights lit up in the night, which was more lively than during the day.
Gu Lai got out of the car and went to the other side to open the door for Shen You. Seeing that his face was pale with a fine cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn’t help but asked aloud, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Shen You didn’t answer, and got out of the car and said coldly, “You can go and watch it by yourself if you are going to grind. The movie is about to begin.”
Gu Lai locked the car, walked into the mall with him, and took the elevator upstairs: “No, I’m holding time.”
They were just ten minutes away from entering the venue early. Gu Lai went to buy a bucket of popcorn and two cups of hot milk tea. When he came back, he saw Shen You holding a can of cold beer in his hand. After drinking in twos or twos, he threw it into the trash. barrel.
The beer is cold, why not drink milk tea?
Gu Lai didn’t quite understand his thinking. He walked to the ticket machine to pick up the ticket. Who would have thought that someone slapped his shoulder suddenly, and a low voice with surprise came from his ear: “Alai?!”
Now Gu Lai knew who it was without looking back. He took out the movie ticket from the ticket gate, turned around just to meet Yang Mian’s surprise gaze, walked to the side and gave the position to the people behind, then politely nodded and laughed He said: “Hello.”
Yang Mian was pulled by a colleague to watch the movie, but she never expected to meet Gu Lai, her cheeks were slightly red, and she tried to calm her tone to make herself look less nervous: “What a coincidence, you also watch Movie?”
Gu Lai nodded, and then showed him the movie ticket: “ET”.
Yang Mian found that he had two movie tickets in his hand, his expression was slightly frozen, but still holding a glimmer of hope, tentatively asked: “Did you…were watching it with a friend?”
“Why, any comments?”
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them. Looking along, Shen You was standing not far away looking at them with a smile but a smile. Yang Mian was scared by his knife-like eyes and took a half step back. He took Gu Lai’s arm and subconsciously sought protection.
The two predecessors gathered together, and to be honest, it was disgusting.
Shen You felt disgusted now. Seeing Yang Mian next to Gu Lai, how intimate and intimate he wanted, he sneered, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Yang Mian remembers Shen You. At this time, he ran into him watching a movie with Gu Lai. He had to think about it. He raised his head and asked, “Alai, you guys…”
Before he finished speaking, he was empty in his hands, and saw Gu Lai strode in the direction where Shen Lie went to catch up, and his back quickly disappeared in the crowded crowd.
There is a shopping mall under the cinema. It is not easy to find someone. Gu Lai walked down the escalator and searched the crowd like an eagle. He quickly found Shen You’s back and quickly followed.
Out of the mall, a heat wave hit the outside, Gu Lai walked out of the revolving door, looked around, and then found a figure vomiting while holding a tree embarrassingly on the side of the road, surprisingly sinking.
As Gu Lai guessed, there was probably something wrong with his body. He vomited all the wine he had just drunk, his stomach cramped and cramped, and his neck had light blue veins violently, which looked very painful.
Upon seeing this, Gu Lai put the milk tea and popcorn aside, and quickly walked forward: “Are you feeling sick? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Shen You caught his stomach and took two breaths. Hearing the words, he twisted his eyebrows and threw his hand away. The resistance was obvious, and he said coldly: “Gu Lai, you **** disgusting, you step on two feet I haven’t played enough with the boat play, why, do you feel a sense of accomplishment by bringing the two of us together?”
Step on two boats?
Gu Lai frowned subconsciously: “I don’t.”
This is a scumbag behavior, even worse than a soft fan, he would not do it.
Shen You couldn’t stand upright because of stomach pain. He curled up subconsciously, his face was pale, and his cold sweat broke out. He gritted his teeth and said nothing. When Gu Lai saw this, his brows became tighter: “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
His car parked on the opposite side. After speaking, he glanced at the road and was about to drive, but Shen You grabbed him and said strenuously: “I’m not going to the hospital…”
He lowered his head in pain, his neckline slipped, accidentally revealing a hideous scar on the back of his neck, which was distorted and terribly like a burn.
When Gu Lai saw this, he closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling that the wound was a bit scary, but he remembered the picture of this moment deeply in his mind. He didn’t care about it, opened his eyes, leaned over and squatted in front of him and said seriously: “Then I What should I do?”
Shen Youxu’s throat became hoarse, he frowned and reported a medicine name, and said awkwardly: “You can buy me some medicine.”
He probably seldom asks for help, his tone is awkward, and he tilts his head to look aside.
“Okay,” Gu Lai lifted him from the ground, sat on the bench beside him, and whispered, “Don’t walk around, I’ll be back soon.”
He was always in a hurry, but this time he looked a little impatient, and soon disappeared, disappearing into the crowded street in the blink of an eye.
