She Can Also Be Gentle - Chapter 71

Yunchu is facing complicated personnel changes and huge renovation and upgrades. Even if the operation area is still painful, Gu Ningzi is still busy every day.

About a week in the past, Guan Luo asked Gu Ningzi and Chi Nuan to eat together. Gu Ningzi notified Chi Nuan of this news in the form of a text message. Chi Nuan was reviewing the test papers in the office at the time. On the window glass beside him, there were large swaths of damp fog.

Gu Ningzi: “Guan Luo invites dinner tonight, are you free?”

Chi Nuan: “Yes.”

Gu Ningzi sent me an orientation: “Come here before half past five.”

That is the address of Doctor Zhou’s psychological consultation room. Gu Ningzi should be interviewed by a financial journal now. Did she temporarily change her itinerary?

There is more than enough time, Chi Nuan said back: “Okay.”

Not long after, I received another restaurant message from Guan Luo. Chi Nuan stared at the name of the restaurant for a long time.

After the heavy snowfall, Yuncheng was melting snow everywhere, and the temperature was extremely low. Chi Nuan tightened the collar of his coat and opened the car door.

The cafe on the first floor of the small bungalow is full of customers.

Chi Nuan walked along the open stairs to the second floor. This was her second visit to Doctor Zhou’s consultation room. The last time was the New Year’s Eve six years ago.

Entering the glass door, she turned her head reflexively.

As if she could still see the back of Gu Ningzi leaving alone and the footprints she left on the snow that night.

…The memories of the past left her too much regret.

Gu Ningzi and Doctor Zhou walked out of the treatment room, Chi Nuan hurriedly put away his emotions and greeted Doctor Zhou. Doctor Zhou chatted with her a few words, parting, and told Gu Ningzi: “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, you have recovered well.”

Gu Ningzi nodded, and Chi Nuan left here.

The snow on the branches beside the road was blown by the cold wind, floating in the air like white flakes. Gu Ningzi, who was about to get in the car, suddenly stopped and turned around suspiciously.

Reflected in the snow, the sky will be dark, the street lights are shining on the scattered white snow, and at the end of the stairs is a brightly lit consultation room.

Chi Nuan asked her: “What’s the matter?”

Gu Ningzi didn’t answer, she watched for a while before getting into the car.

The car drove to the restaurant reserved in Guanluo. The mountain is covered with snow, and the restaurant on the mountainside is lit by candlelight. From the foot of the mountain, the whole restaurant is like a golden treasure box.

This scene has appeared in Chi Nuan’s dreams countless times.

“The food here is average, so it’s better than the atmosphere.” Guan Luo fiddled with the candlelight and smiled slyly: “With such a good atmosphere, do we always have a little bit of heart in Gu always?”

Gu Ningzi routinely ignored Guan Luo’s boring jokes.

Guan Luo laughed twice, with a rare face: “Ah, by the way, you taste it, I managed to get this wine, isn’t it the kind you’re looking for?”

“Chi Nuan?” A surprised male voice suddenly inserted into their conversation at the table.

Chi Nuan, who had been acting as the background, turned his head, and the man approached two steps: “It’s really you… I haven’t seen you in a long time!”

Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi and Guan Luo embarrassedly, and stood up: “…I haven’t seen it for a long time, Zhong Min.”

There was a girl holding Zhong Min’s arms. Zhong Min introduced Chi Nuan: “This is my aunt’s sister. She is arguing to come here for her birthday today.”

Chi Nuan: “Hello.”

The girl said, “Brother, this is the teacher Chi that you have been thinking about?”

Chi Nuan: “…”

Guan Luo propped his forehead and smiled to find resonance with Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi raised the wine glass and sent it under his nose for a light sniff.

With embarrassment written on Zhong Min’s Qingxiu face, he said to Chi Nuan, “It’s nothing, I’m very happy to meet you here… I won’t disturb you and your friends for dinner.”

After they left, Chi Nuan sat down again, Guan Luo winked at her, “Ex-boyfriend?”

Chi Nuan: “No.”

Gu Ningzi: “No.”

Guan Luo: “…”

Gu Ningzi put down the wine glass and flicked the wall.

Guan Luo realized that what the two said was not the same thing. She was a little distressed by the red wine she had collected at a high price. She asked Gu Ningzi unwillingly, “You don’t want to take a sip?”

Gu Ningzi: “No, it’s not like that.”

Guan Luo spread his hands: “Are you sure you drank that wine in reality, not dreaming?”

Gu Ningzi thought about her words seriously and replied, “I’m not sure.”

Guan Luo slapped the table and laughed: “I feel so sympathetic to you. Since she was an assistant to you, the wine for you has not been 1,000 or 800, right? You said that you are not sure?-Assistant Miss, you My boyfriend is still looking over here.”

“…” Chi Nuan, who was drinking water, was choking and coughing again and again, and his face flushed. Yu Guang couldn’t help looking for Gu Ningzi, and explained: “It’s really not, I’m not familiar with him.”

Guan Luo teased her: “What are you in a hurry? We don’t mind.”

Gu Ningzi, one of the “us”, gently turned the wine glass on the table, Chi Nuan met her smiling non-smiling eyes, and her hot cheeks gradually cooled down.

…Yes, Gu Ningzi won’t mind.

After Guan Luo had eaten halfway, she received a call from Qingqing. After two or three sentences, she stood up: “Her child is unwell. I will accompany her to the hospital now. Sorry, sorry, we will make an appointment next time.”

He said that he hurried away.

Someone was playing the violin in the restaurant, the melody of love, lined with flowers and candlelight, the atmosphere was very strong.

A table of lovers, whispering, kissing from time to time, Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi sat opposite each other, and no one spoke.

After dinner, the two were about to leave. Someone tapped the window glass of the driver’s seat, and looked at it late, it was Zhong Min again.

“It’s a coincidence, I just parked next to you.” Zhong Min pointed to his car.

“…Yes.” Chi Nuan said.

Zhong Min’s sister “puchi” laughed out loud, Zhong Min also laughed, shaking her mobile phone: “Then Chinuan, let’s contact again.”

Gu Ningzi’s gaze passed over them, looking at the white snow covering the mountain.

It’s getting late, Chi Nuan went to Tuban to pick up the little Wutong first. Xiao Wutong took out a painting from his schoolbag, masked the words in the lower right corner, and happily asked Chi Nuan: “Mom, guess who I painted?”

The immature lines and disproportionate facial features can’t be said to resemble anyone, because no one resembles anyone. It can only be seen that the painting is a girl with a tall ponytail behind his head.

Chi Nuan said, “I guess it’s your deskmate?”

Little Indus: “Oh…”

Little Wutong sat next to Gu Ningzi and removed her fingers disappointedly. Gu Ningzi saw the name of the painting: My Mother.

Gu Ningzi: “…”

After a few minutes, Gu Ningzi took out a pencil from Xiao Wutong’s pencil case. Only a few strokes were made on the painting of Little Indus, and the eyes of Little Indus became wider and wider: “Aunt Gu!”

Gu Ningzi stretched her fingers between her lips, Xiao Wutong glanced at Chi Nuan while driving, covered her mouth, and nodded sensibly.

He took Gu Ningzi to Henan Mountain, and Chi Nuan carried Xiao Wutong back downstairs in the community. After the car stopped, Xiao Wutong held the painting on her hand to Chi Nuan. His big eyes were full of little stars that he admired.

The original lines were fully covered, and the desk-side painting of Xiao Wutong that Chi Nuan thought was changed to her own appearance, with her soft face in the painting smiling slightly.

The temperament and the rhyme are very precise.

“Why is Aunt Gu so good? Better than our art teacher?” Xiao Wutong’s white face was flushed with excitement, and he asked Chi Nuan as he climbed the stairs: “Mom, is Aunt Gu painting in this world? The most powerful person?”

Chi Nuan’s heartbeat out of control when he saw the painting at first glance, did not return to normal until he entered the house.

Little Wutong put on his bear pajamas, rolled up his pants and soaked his feet. Chi Nuan burned a pot of hot water in the kitchen. In the scorching heat, she was staring at the cup in a daze, when her mobile phone prompted a text message to come in.

“Chi Nuan, it’s me, Zhong Min. It’s the end of the year. School is quite busy, right?”

His tentative intention was obvious, and Chi Nuan did not intend to reply to him. The phone hadn’t been put down yet, and suddenly there was a sharp pounding sound of gold and rocks outside.

Immediately afterwards, there was the second, third…

The woman’s scream cut through the silent winter night.

“Mom, what’s the sound? Mom, come here.” Little Wutong urged Chi Wen in the bathroom in fear.

Chi Nuan boldly walked to the door and looked out through the cat’s eyes. With this look, he almost screamed with the hostess who was facing the door!

There was a sturdy man, carrying an axe, facing the door lock on the opposite side, hacking and smashing!

Chi Nuan felt cold all over, and immediately called the police, told the address and the facts of the case, and repeatedly asked the police to come quickly.

“Help! Help!” The hostess on the opposite side shouted for help in the room, and the voice of the change of tone revealed unparalleled panic.

In the whole building, no one dared to stop a madman with an axe. Her screams and calls for help stimulated the man who chopped the door, and the man laughed strangely.

Chi Nuan kept shaking, and took the phone to Xiao Wutong. She squatted down to help him dry his feet.

“When will the police uncle come? Mom, I’m afraid.” Xiao Wutong put his arms around Chi Nuan’s neck, and Chi Nuan trembled to comfort him: “They will come soon. They are very close to us. Don’t be afraid.”

Chi Nuan hugged Little Indus out of the bathroom, and before passing through the living room, there was a dull noise from the door, and the sound seemed to be close to the ground.

Chi Nuan’s whole body was stiff, Xiao Wutong looked at the direction of the door in horror. Chi Nuan put down the little phoenix tree, and after the sound, there was no movement outside.

Chi Nuan walked nervously to the cat’s eye.

The man outside the door shook his head strangely, with a grim and horrible expression, and his protruding eyes. He looked at Chi Nuan’s house for a while, and looked at the opposite door for a while.

After a few seconds of silence, the voice-activated light in the stairwell dimmed silently.

There was darkness in his vision, Chi Nuan held his breath and slowly backed away. The next second, the phone rang, and at the same time, the door lock suddenly banged loudly, Chi Nuan screamed, “Chi Zheng! Dial 110! That person is smashing our door!”

The little phoenix tree hurriedly swiped the screen, her face pale and pale: “I can’t be afraid, I want to protect my mother… I can’t be afraid…”

Every time the door was smashed, the whole house seemed to vibrate. Chi Nuan quickly turned off the light, hugged the little parasol and hid in the room, and locked the door with his backhand.

The phone screen was on the dial interface, breathing quickly and warmly. She could not stand steady, so she simply knelt down on the floor, wiped away her tears, and dialed 110 again.

The police station in the district is not far from here. She believes that she will not be the only one calling the police in the building. The police will be there soon, and soon…
