Chapter 224 The fairy wand and the unfulfilled wish, she is really reluctant
Chapter 224 The fairy wand and the unfulfilled wish, she is really reluctant...
"Woooo..."
Sometimes, once the tears start flowing, they can no longer be controlled.
Shang Zhuoyan cried quietly at first, and then slowly began to choke. Just now she could wipe away her tears with her hands, but now it seems that she can't wipe them away or stop them...
It's just a grievance. The more I cry, the more I feel aggrieved.
Maybe because she knew Gu Huaian was opposite, or maybe she felt embarrassed, sitting on the small chair, she simply curled up her legs, put her arms around her knees, and buried her head in her knees, as if she was shrinking into a shell. , she probably felt that this would give her a sense of security.
She had always struggled to do this movement before, but recently she lost weight and it became very easy for her without even realizing it...
"..."
The room was strangely quiet. On New Year's Eve, not many people came out to stay in the hotel. It was a miracle that this hotel was open. There might not even be a few clerks on duty.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Huaian could hear Shang Zhuoyan's weeping voice clearly.
And looking at her appearance...
Gu Huaian's heart also felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Don't talk about him, just pick anyone else, but any person wouldn't be able to bear seeing Shang Zhuoyan like this, right?
Whose heart is not made of flesh?
She is usually such a girl who loves to laugh, but for some reason, this time she met Gu Huaian and she felt like it was hard to be happy. If she felt even slightly uncomfortable, tears would flow out uncontrollably.
Gu Huaian even wondered if she had lost so much weight because she cried too much and lost all her water content.
...Okay, this joke was a bit inappropriate.
"well……"
Gu Huaian sighed, stood up, walked over, came to Shang Zhuoyan, raised his hand and patted her shoulder lightly a few times.
Count it as consolation.
"You...just go..."
Shang Zhuoyan did not raise her head, but when Gu Huaian patted her, her delicate body trembled a few times, and she choked and said:
"Why did you come? You just... shouldn't have come. You just left me alone... that's fine. I don't need you to pity me. Why... why do you still want to be nice to me?" , I obviously planned to forget you, I... ugh..."
I don’t know if it’s been too long since they last met. Shang Zhuoyan was a little reserved at the beginning of the meeting, and she was also a little polite when talking to Gu Huaian. She always seemed like she couldn’t let go.
But at this moment, she seemed to have completely let down her psychological defenses, and it seemed that these words were what she really wanted to say.
"..."
Gu Huaian didn't say anything. Do you think he wants to come?
She had already made it clear that she was alone on New Year's Eve in the city where Gu Huaian was...
How could you ask Gu Huaian not to come? !
"Woooo..."
Shang Zhuoyan sobbed softly, wondering if she really needed someone to rely on. After a while, she stretched out her two beautiful hands and wrapped them around Gu Huaian's waist, rested her head on his abdomen, and hugged him tightly... …
She actually wanted to stand up and hug her, but she didn't have the courage. She probably felt that if she did that, Huaian would push her away without hesitation.
But in this case, he should be able to accept it.
really……
Gu Huaian did not push her away.
He just reached out and stroked her head gently.
"OK OK……"
Gu Huaian just spoke softly. To be honest, Gu Huaian didn't know how to comfort Shang Zhuoyan. He felt that anything he said now would make things worse for her.
He couldn't imagine how a foodie like her could not be interested in eating...
Before she came, she said she wanted to eat meat, and Gu Huaian packed her a few pig's trotters and the kind of sausage he made during the Chinese New Year. They were hard goods and always delicious.
When doing it, all Gu Huaian could think about was how happy she was when she saw this, and even thought about how her saliva was drooling...
The impression of Shang Zhuoyan should be like this.
But after meeting, even after seeing those things, she didn't even show interest...
Gu Huaian thought that she would immediately pick up the big pig's trotters and take a bite, but she just waited patiently for Gu Huaian to open the box of dumplings and ate a few.
Until now, she said she wanted to eat meat, but she still hasn't taken a bite.
Even the dumplings are hard to swallow...
To be honest, Gu Huaian never thought that she could lose interest in eating...
Looking at the way she was crying now, to be honest, Gu Huaian was no longer distressed, he really felt as if his heart was being cut with a knife.
The past six months have been really difficult for her.
Gu Huaian didn't know how long she hugged him and cried. Anyway, he could clearly feel that his shirt and stomach were already wet, soaking through his inner seed.
"You know it's cold outside, right?"
Gu Huaian had no choice but to joke:
"If you cry any more, I'll catch a cold."
Shang Zhuoyan was also very funny. After hearing this, she silently shrank back, hugged her knees and continued to cry.
Gu Huaian looked at her helplessly for a few times, and then...
Turned around and left.
Yes, he was leaving. He went to the door, put on his down jacket and opened the door.
Shang Zhuoyan was feeling sad at the time and didn't know what was going on. At first she thought Gu Huaian was going to the bathroom to clean up her clothes that were wet from crying. It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that she realized that Gu Huaian...
gone!
Shang Zhuoyan froze on the spot, her big watery eyes staring in the direction of the door, with a look of disbelief on her face.
She never expected that when she was so sad, Gu Huaian would... leave!
Isn't this too cruel? !
To be honest, she had no intention of committing suicide, nor did she ask Gu Huaian to do anything for her, nor did she need his comfort, but he couldn't just leave so cruelly, could he? !
Silent? !
Why don't you say hello?
At this time, Shang Zhuoyan was even thinking whether he disliked himself like this...
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.
The mouth was deflated into a very strange shape.
Then the tears fell down like they were free of money!
"ah!"
She cried so hard that she always broke down.
No one knew how desperate she was at this moment. For a moment, she even wanted to die with Gu Huaian. This scumbag was too cruel to her!
It took a long time, maybe ten minutes.
Just when she really planned to die with Gu Huaian...
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the room door suddenly.
Shang Zhuoyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't even have time to wipe her tears or put on her shoes, so she ran over to open the door with her bare feet in embarrassment.
When he opened the door, he saw that old man Gu Huaian was back. Not only was he back, he was also carrying a bag of what looked like fireworks in his hand.
One of the boxes looks like that...
Fairy wand!
Just holding fireworks.
"Hiss... let me in quickly, I'm freezing to death."
Gu Huaian rubbed his hands. It was cold outside. The roadside was frozen in the middle of the night. To be honest, he really didn't want to go out on such a day, especially in the middle of the night.
"What...are you doing?"
Shang Zhuoyan pouted her little mouth and looked at Gu Huaian with an aggrieved look. She was almost planning to die with Gu Huaian just now.
"Take this..."
Gu Huaian shook the fairy stick in his hand and said:
"Quickly, change your clothes and take you to set off fireworks."
Early this morning, Gu Huaian was called out by Gu Zhun and dragged to buy fireworks. These boxes were forgotten in the car and Gu Huaian saw them when they came.
Seeing that Shang Zhuoyan was in such a bad mood, he planned to take her down to set off fireworks, which would at least relieve her a little.
Large-scale fireworks are definitely not allowed in urban areas. Police cars will arrive within ten minutes of making any noise, and New Year's Eve is no exception.
But it's just a small hand-held firework or something, and it doesn't make much sound. It doesn't matter, and no one will pursue it.
Of course, just in case, Gu Huaian asked the staff on duty at the hotel front desk, and he would only take Shang Zhuoyan there if there was no problem.
"Ah?" Shang Zhuoyan was slightly stunned.
So just now, he went to the car to get fireworks, didn't he leave?
"Quickly..."
Gu Huaian urged.
"oh oh."
Shang Zhuoyan pouted and ran to the room to change clothes. To be honest, she didn't even realize why she suddenly had to go into the room to change clothes until she was putting on pants.
But as soon as she reacted a little, she realized how funny her idea just now was...
She knew that Gu Huaian could not leave for no reason!
It's even more impossible to just leave her alone!
He must be out for something!
So how could she think that Gu Huaian disliked her and left?
Thinking of this, Shang Zhuoyan even wanted to open her tofu brain to see what was inside...
I feel like my brain has become dull in the past six months.
If it was true, wouldn't he tell her? !
When she came out of the room, Shang Zhuoyan wore a pair of light blue denim trousers with the trousers slightly rolled up. White short boots would match this color very well.
She always likes pink, so she chooses a pink patterned sweater and a pink down jacket for her upper body.
The clothes seemed to add a lively atmosphere to her, and she was finally no longer so lifeless.
It is worth mentioning that, maybe because of losing weight, she feels that her figure is better, and wearing clothes one size smaller also makes her look more elegant.
"Let's go..."
Gu Huaian opened the door first and went out, looking around to make sure no one was taking the lead.
Act like a thief.
When you enter the elevator, you don't go down, but up.
"Why go up?" Shang Zhuoyan was still curious.
"Go to the rooftop." Gu Huaian replied.
In fact, when setting off fireworks, logically you have to go downstairs. It’s not that they look good or safe downstairs, but it’s because the roof of the building is so damn... in the middle of winter...
chilly!
As for why Gu Huaian took Shang Zhuoyan to the rooftop...
It was because when he went downstairs to get the fireworks, he saw a very familiar car in the parking lot.
That car looked particularly like the one he had seen on the highway.
Maybe it's because he's been followed a lot by paparazzi in the past six months. Gu Huaian has gradually developed the habit of recognizing paparazzi. Although he doesn't think there will be paparazzi taking secret photos of him on New Year's Eve, it's still a precautionary measure. If you don't put it downstairs, it will easily cause problems if it is photographed. They can't take pictures on the roof at night.
He didn't tell Shang Zhuoyan because he was afraid that she would worry...
Fortunately, we can also go up to the rooftop, otherwise we wouldn't be able to set off the fireworks.
Rooftop.
"Woooo..."
The cold wind was blowing desperately, and it was blowing on people's skin, just like several knives cutting people's flesh.
Shang Zhuoyan couldn't help but tighten her down jacket. She was so afraid of catching a cold. Winter is so unfriendly to female stars...
Gu Huaian also shrunk his clothes. The bad weather in MD's Spring City was really exaggerated. In the summer, it was 40 degrees hot lying around at home and sweating all over. In the winter, it was as cold as minus ten degrees.
It was late at night, the time when the temperature was the lowest of the day, and this was the top floor. Gu Huaian was shivering a little from the cold. He couldn't help but say to Shang Zhuoyan:
"To be honest, if it weren't for our fateful friendship, not many people would accompany you to set off fireworks at this time."
"Puch..."
Shang Zhuoyan laughed. She rarely laughed in the past six months, and no one made her laugh. Gu Huaian could only make her laugh with his true and mean words.
Gu Huaian took out his lighter...
"puff……"
A few fairy wands were lit.
Then with the help of the fire of these few sticks, several others were ignited.
Pass it to Shang Zhuoyan...
"It's been how many years since I played this."
The firelight kept sputtering, and Shang Zhuoyan stared at the burning fairy stick, feeling nostalgic for a moment.
The bright firelight occasionally shines on Shang Zhuoyan's delicate doll's face. It no longer seems to be full of sadness and sorrow like in the room. Maybe it's because her eyes were red from crying just now, but there was a little bit of it before. Smile, of course...
It wasn't the kind of happiness that Gu Huaian had in mind.
In fact, according to Huai'an's impression of Shang Zhuoyan, she should be dancing and happy while playing this, but now she is just shaking the fairy wand and watching with a slight smile.
It's just awkward and heart-wrenching.
But after all, she was in a better mood.
Gu Huaian took her to set off several more. When they were set off, she felt that she was obviously happier. Fireworks are quite wonderful and magical. They may be fresh and beautiful, and they always make people happy.
When the fireworks were set off, Shang Zhuoyan would occasionally look in Gu Huaian's direction. Under the firelight, Gu Huaian's face looked quite carefree and happy...
This would make her couldn't help but think that even if she was not in a good state now, she should be happier than him if she did such a thing, but why couldn't she be happy?
For a moment, she seemed to realize something.
Because she knew very well that such beauty did not seem to belong to her.
He just felt sorry for himself.
"Make a wish?" Gu Huaian said suddenly at this time.
"Um?"
Shang Zhuoyan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say:
"What kind of wish is this?"
Who made a wish on the fireworks? Inexplicably, you thought it was the little match girl?
"Whatever, just make a wish..." Gu Huaian chuckled.
He actually wanted to say something to comfort Shang Zhuoyan, mainly because he really didn't have much education and couldn't speak those beautiful words, and he was afraid that what he said would be pretentious and greasy. In the end, the Thai pants would be too embarrassing.
Just say make a wish.
Make her happy.
Shang Zhuoyan smiled, why was Gu Huaian always so baffled...
"呲呲......"
The fairy wand in her hand was still burning with sparks. Shang Zhuoyan stared at the fire and suddenly thought about what she would make if she made a wish.
For a moment, she glanced at Gu Huaian, shook her head gently, and finally said nothing or made a wish.
"Why don't you make a wish?" Gu Huaian asked.
Shang Zhuoyan said:
"Because I know my wish cannot come true."
Her big, watery and beautiful eyes were staring straight at Gu Huaian, and the firelight seemed to cast many shadows on her delicate and pretty face.
"..."
Gu Huaian was silent for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
He knew very well what Shang Zhuoyan meant.
But after a while, he actually said:
"There is a difference between dreams and wishful thinking. If you are wishful thinking, then you must..."
"……roll!"
Shang Zhuoyan's head was full of black lines. She really couldn't stand it when she was serious and he suddenly acted strangely. She was so angry that she kicked him several times and chased him, slapping and beating him.
Gu Huaian laughed and hit her with the fairy stick. In a daze, it seemed as if they had found the same feeling they had in Yunnan again.
…
They had almost finished setting off the fireworks they had brought, and they went down because it was too cold.
Back in the room, Shang Zhuoyan's hands were extremely cold. She actually wanted Gu Huaian to cover her hands, but she was too embarrassed to open her mouth, so she had to put it next to her mouth and keep breathing.
Gu Huaian poured a cup of hot water for her, let her hold it to warm her hands, then pointed to the dinner he brought and asked:
"Would you like some more? Didn't you say you haven't eaten all day?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the sausage and pig's trotters and said:
"This is delicious. Try it first. If it doesn't taste good, hit me..."
"...I won't eat it. I don't really want to eat it. Let's eat it tomorrow morning."
Shang Zhuoyan smiled softly and shook her head.
She just stared at Gu Huaian, her big doll-like eyes staring at Gu Huaian a little bit. He was about to ask her if he could stop staring at her like that, but suddenly...
For some reason, mist began to appear in her big eyes, and then big tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"...Why are you crying again..."
Gu Huaian was speechless, why the hell can't he be coaxed? !
Shang Zhuoyan pouted her lips and smiled. She felt that she was being pretentious and raised her hand to wipe her tears. Although she knew that she should not ask for anything more, she still said:
"I was just thinking, how nice it would be if you could stay with me like this."
Gu Huaian started to act stupid again and said:
"We are good friends. I will be here if you need me."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of sausage, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he handed a piece to Shang Zhuoyan and let her taste it, trying to arouse her appetite by saying that he ate it deliciously.
But Shang Zhuoyan still shook her head.
I don’t know if she was tired from crying, but Shang Zhuoyan yawned and said:
"Let's go and go back. It's very late."
She really didn't expect that one day she would take the initiative to let Gu Huaian go.
"Um……"
Gu Huaian nodded and said that to be honest, he was a little uneasy, but he had no reason to stay.
Everything that needs to be done is done.
"Okay, I'm fine, don't worry, why am I so easily defeated?"
Seeing that Gu Huai'an just nodded but did not leave, Shang Zhuoyan pursed her lips and said with a proud face:
"It's a lot more stressful when you're abroad."
When she said this, Gu Huaian felt relieved, nodded with a smile, helped her pack up the dinner she had brought that night, put on her down jacket at the door, and then planned to leave.
Before leaving, he said that he would come to see Shang Zhuoyan tomorrow morning and bring her some home-steamed yellow noodle dough. It was deep-fried and sprinkled with sugar, so it was delicious.
"good."
Shang Zhuoyan sent Gu Huaian away with a smile and sent him into the elevator...
Originally she was smiling, but the moment the elevator door closed, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and the smile on her face was no longer there...
It disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
Pretend to be happy, pretend to be okay, pretend to be strong...
very tired.
…
