She Can Also Be Gentle - Chapter 70
Chi Nuan stood outside the bar and probed into the door. The atmosphere inside is hot, a room of men and women swaying their bodies casually to the music.
I called Gu Ningzi to tell her that she had arrived, but Gu Ningzi did not answer.
Chi Nuan gathered her long hair, plunged into the blurred bar, and walked through the crowd, trying to identify Gu Ningzi’s figure.
The dynamic music came to an end, the crowd scattered, Chi Nuan looked blankly, she still did not find Gu Ningzi, but her ears caught a familiar voice.
“Why are you still so cruel?… Please, I really beg you, you, can you love me too?”
Chi Nuan followed the sound, and in front of the bar a few steps away, Guan Luo put his arms around a woman and knocked his head on the other’s left shoulder: “Qingqing, Qingqing…I really can’t stand it…you have mercy on me… …”
Chi Nuan rolled her eyes when she saw the woman held by Guan Luo, then turned around and broke away from her embrace. With a clear and loud slap, she slapped her face: “Qingqing? Who is Qingqing? You chasing me are playing with me. Woolen cloth?”
Guan Luo was beaten to the side of the head. As soon as she moved, Chi Nuan saw Gu Ningzi sitting behind her.
Gu Ningzi seemed to have taken no surprises at this scene, and drank a sip of…juice in the glass without any disturbance.
The woman was not satisfied after the slap, grabbed the glass, and poured a glass of wine at Guan Luo’s head: “Guan Luo, we’re done!”
Chi Nuan: “…”
After the woman left, Guan Luo wiped his face, and walked up and down to the bar, babbling the bartender for a drink.
The bartender looked after Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi shook her head, and he poured a glass of water for Guan Luo.
Chi Nuan walked over: “Gu Ningzi.”
Guan Luo was drunk, squinted at Chi Nuan, and suddenly embraced him: “Qingqing…”
All her weight was on Chi Nuan, and the momentum forced Chi Nuan to back away involuntarily.
Gu Ningzi responded quickly to stabilize and warm, and got up and pushed Guan Luo away.
…
Chi Nuan drove in front, and in the back seat, Guan Luo held Gu Ningzi’s arm: “She… marries or marries abroad, and I… chase abroad! She got divorced and came back, so I will come back… I’ve always regarded her as the sun since I was a child, and kept turning around her, you said, why didn’t she know to look at me?”
Gu Ningzi took her arm out of Guan Luo’s arms, patted her on the shoulder, and talked about comfort.
Guan Luo received a cold reception at Gu Ningzi’s place. He diverted to the front seat of the car, tilting his head and talking to Chi Nuan: “Assistant…Miss, you like me…women. There is no prejudice, right?”
Chi Nuan: “…no.”
Guan Luo: “Then have you seen, seen, met someone worse than me…?”
Chi Nuan: “…”
Guan Luo: “If you want me to say it, you guys are always… a fairy! Pure heart! Few desires! She is a fairy… how can you understand me? Assistant… Miss Assistant, do you understand me?”
Chi Nuan said, “Doctor Guan, you are drunk, take a break.”
Guan Luo held the back of the chair and refused to let go: “Miss Assistant, have you ever loved…? Do you understand the heartache that I can’t love?”
Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi from the rearview mirror, and Gu Ningzi looked at the night scene outside the car window. Her careless posture burned Chi Nuan’s fragile nerves every inch.
“No”, Guan Luo squinted his eyes and shook his fingers: “Miss Assistant-so gentle and beautiful, there must be a boyfriend… or a girlfriend? Hahaha, tell me, tell me!”
Chi Nuan didn’t answer, Guan Luo stood up hunched, grabbed Chi Nuan’s shoulders, and squeezed from the back to the front seat.
Chi Nuan was so scared by her actions that she almost braked: “Doctor Guan, I don’t have a boyfriend. Let go and sit down quickly. This is very dangerous!”
Gu Ningzi pulled Guan Luo back into the back seat and buckled her seat belt neatly: “She is a driver, don’t influence her.”
Guan Luo seemed to have listened, stopped moving, and after sitting obediently for a few minutes, he held his face: “Qingqing…I have waited for you for so many years, what the **** is it…what am I in your heart…”
On a cold winter night, there was no one on both sides of the street. Guan Luo’s cry was suppressed in his throat, Chi Nuan bit his lip uncomfortably.
Sending Guan Luo home, she kept murmuring “Qingqing”. While waiting for the elevator, Chi Nuan stared at the toe of her shoe and asked Gu Ningzi, “Will Doctor Guan have a chance?”
Gu Ningzi: “She is wasting time.”
Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi: “But she waited for so many years…”
Gu Ningzi looked at the tightly closed elevator door, her eyes clear and cold: “She doesn’t dare to face the reality, knowing that persistence will not lead to any results.”
When the elevator came, Gu Ningzi walked into the car, pressed the floor, raised her eyes, and found that Chi Nuan was still standing there.
When his eyes collided, Chi Nuan smiled and walked behind her.
On a rainy night with joint pain, Xiao Wutong was sent to the hospital to provide this extremely well-paid job. As a former high school classmate, Gu Ningzi has been very loyal in all respects. … She just forgot, Chi Nuan thought, otherwise she wouldn’t make such a heart-wrenching remarks anyway.
…
Later, I met Gu Ningzi again, on the day her wisdom teeth were removed. Chi Nuan has a class, and as soon as the class is over, I hurried to the dental hospital. She dared not drive fast when it was snowing, and the operation was over when she arrived at the hospital.
Gu Ningzi sat on the chair with a pale face, Chi Nuan asked her worriedly, “Is it painful?”
“It won’t hurt now, the anesthetic hasn’t passed yet.” Guan Luo said, giving Chi Nuan the medicine and the precautions after the operation.
Chi Nuan: “Thank you, Doctor Guan.”
Gu Ningzi lowered her head and put on a mask, stood up and prepared to leave.
This time Guan Luo sent them to the parking lot and pulled the car window: “Isn’t it bothering you that night… Hey, don’t mention it. When our President Gu recovers, I’ll invite you to dinner. Bye~”
Night has come quietly, and snow is falling in the sky.
Chi Nuan drove Gu Ningzi back to Henan Mountain. Gu Ningzi said, “Go pick up the little phoenix tree. The snow will be heavy for a while.”
Biting on a hemostatic cotton ball, through the mask, her voice sounded a little vague.
Chi Nuan picked up the little phoenix tree. The little phoenix tree and Gu Ningzi sat side by side. Seeing her feeling sad, he asked, “Aunt Gu, what’s the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?”
Chi Nuan said, “Be good, don’t disturb Aunt Gu, she just pulled her teeth.”
The little parasol tree is already in the period of changing teeth. He has had the experience of swaying teeth causing inflammation and then being extracted. He especially understands the pain of tooth extraction. Hearing Chi Nuan’s words, he immediately comforted Gu Ningzi: “Aunt Gu, I know, lying in that chair. Here, doctors and uncles are holding tools and looking at your precious teeth that you have worked so hard to grow, which is especially terrifying.”
His eyes were warm and innocent, in a convincing tone: “But my mother said that every time a bad tooth is pulled out, a happy thing happens. If you think about it this way, tooth extraction is not that scary, right? “
Chi Nuan: “…”
Gu Ningzi asked slowly, “Really?”
“Yes”, Xiao Wutong pointed to his absent front tooth, “For example, this one, on the day it was pulled out, my mother took me to eat delicious fried chicken. I think it’s very delicious and very happy! Gu! Auntie, happy things will happen to you soon, are you looking forward to it?”
Gu Ningzi: “…”
Chi Nuan: “…”
When he arrived at Gu Ningzi’s house, Xiao Wutong happily followed Chi Nuan into the kitchen. He waited left and right, but Chi Nuan didn’t show any signs of doing anything other than cooking porridge. He was disappointed to find Gu Ningzi who was applying ice: “Auntie Gu, things that make people happy are not so easy to happen…”
Most of the anesthetic has been dispersed, and the pain gradually becomes more prominent. Gu Ningzi’s lips were not too open, and she nodded to Xiao Wutong, expressing her approval.
Chi Nuan, who walked out of the kitchen with the little phoenix tree, said helplessly: “Little phoenix tree, do you want to pinch the snowman?”
She took the little phoenix tree to the yard, lest he disturb Gu Ningzi.
The two of them pinched a row of little snowmen in the snow and placed them neatly on the stone steps.
“So cute!” Little Wutong clapped his hands happily.
After the effect of the anesthetic disappeared, Gu Ningzi reluctantly used the smallest spoon and drank half a bowl of warm porridge slowly.
After drinking the porridge and taking the anti-inflammatory medicine, Chi Nuan said to Gu Ningzi, “There are also painkillers, so you can eat it if it hurts so badly. Doctor Guan prescribes you a two-day dose.”
Gu Ningzi: “Yeah.”
At this time, Xiao Wutong understood that Aunt Gu’s tooth extraction was not the same as his own tooth extraction. She stood behind Chi Nuan a little embarrassed, her big eyes flickering, full of concern.
Chi Nuan: “Doctor Guan said that he could not rule out the possibility of a fever tonight. If it starts, you must tell me.”
Gu Ningzi: “Yeah.”
Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong home and drove the car out of the courtyard. She turned her head and Gu Ningzi’s slender figure appeared behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor.
The curtains were open, and the lights were like water, smudging the snow-covered ground downstairs.
That night, Chi Nuan couldn’t sleep well, for fear of Gu Ningzi’s pain and Gu Ningzi’s burning in the middle of the night. The phone was kept in his hand and the volume was turned on to the maximum, for fear of missing any message from Gu Ningzi.
After midnight, the phone rang suddenly, and Chi Nuan was awakened. He saw the words “Gu Ningzi” on the screen, and his sleepiness disappeared: “What’s wrong? Have you got a fever?”
Gu Ningzi’s voice was very soft: “No. Do you have a book on hand?”
The heart that Chi Nuan lifted up slowly fell back to the original place. Turning on the light, I saw Xiao Wutong’s phonetic storybook for the first time: “…There is “The Grimm’s Fairy Tales”.”
Gu Ningzi: “Read it to me.”
Ah? …
Although she didn’t understand what Gu Ningzi meant, Chi Nuan picked up “A Grimm’s Fairy Tale” and bookmarked it on the page of “Sleeping Beauty”. She began to read sentence by sentence: “Once upon a time, there was a king…”
The white snow flew outside the window, and the warm and gentle voice flowed quietly in the room.
While she was reading the story, the end of the phone was always quiet. After reading the story of “Sleeping Beauty”, Gu Ningzi did not make any new demands.
Chi Nuan waited for a while before calling out, “Gu Ningzi?”
No one answered.
He Nanshan, with a hands-free mobile phone in her ears, Gu Ningzi, who had been tossed for a long time due to pain, finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the courtyard downstairs, there is a transparent umbrella. The cute little snowmen are hiding under the umbrella, and their chubby heads are wearing colorful paper hats.
