Chapter 4: There Is a God in the Wall (4)
After more than ten minutes, Qin Zhi'ai saw that the text message she sent was still not delivered, so she called Gu Yusheng again, but the line was still busy.
Qin Zhi'ai vaguely seemed to understand something, changed the landline beside her, and called Gu Yusheng.
The call was made easily.
It turned out that, as she had guessed, when her mobile phone was rejected for the first time when she called him, he was dragged into the blacklist by him.
Qin Zhi'ai's eyes dimmed slightly, and she was about to hang up the phone on the landline. When she asked the housekeeper to contact Gu Yusheng during the day, the phone was connected suddenly. Gu Yusheng seemed to have guessed that it was her call, and said in a very impatient voice: "Are you finished? Didn't I tell you not to bother me if you have nothing to do?"
"Grandpa's calling..." Qin Zhi'ai was afraid that Gu Yusheng would hang up the phone in a second, and hastily said: "...Grandpa said that he was going to Beijing early this morning and asked us to go to his place for dinner tonight. .”
Gu Yusheng on the other end of the phone didn't speak.
Qin Zhi'ai waited for a while, seeing that Gu Yusheng still didn't respond, and continued to ask, "It's still the same as last time, waiting for you at that place?"
The last time was the first day she lived in his house. Grandpa asked him to take her home for dinner. He didn't want to drive to pick her up, so he let her go alone, in a small alley next to the neighborhood where grandpa lived. wait for him.
She thought, this time he is still unwilling to pick her up, right?
Qin Zhi'ai suppressed the disappointment in her heart, tried her best to make her tone sound the same as usual, and asked again: "Then what time should I go there tomorrow to wait for you?"
Faced with her questioning, Gu Yusheng still didn't speak.
"It's still in the afternoon..." Qin Zhi'ai had just said four words this time, and Gu Yusheng's voice suddenly came from the phone without any symptoms, and his tone was cold and cold: "Every time I use grandpa as an excuse to pester you I, you don't feel disgusted?"
Qin Zhi'ai held the handset of the landline, and suddenly increased her strength. She felt as if someone was strangling her neck, and the words "Six o'clock?" were stuck in her throat. , up and down, unbearable.
There was an eerie silence on both ends of the phone.
After less than two seconds, Gu Yusheng hung up the phone.
Qin Zhi'ai maintained the movement of holding the receiver, and was stiff for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses. She slowly put the receiver back on the landline, lay down on the bed leisurely, covered the quilt, and closed the door. Eyes, a peaceful look in sleep. But there was a glint of water in the corner of her eyes, and the hand holding the quilt trembled violently.

In the phone call in the early morning, Qin Zhi'ai and Gu Yusheng didn't make an appointment to go to the old house of Gu's family, and before hanging up, Gu Yusheng said something so ugly, Qin Zhi'ai would call him to ask the time.
Although Qin Zhi'ai didn't know what time Gu Yusheng would go to the Gu family's old house, she knew that he got off work at 5:30.
So, before 5:30 in the afternoon, Qin Zhi'ai waited in the small alley near the gate of Gu's old residence.
Until 6:30, a shrill horn sounded from the street not far away. Qin Zhi'ai turned her head and saw Gu Yusheng's car parked by the side of the road with double flashing lights.
After walking to the front of the car, Qin Zhi'ai realized that it was Gu Yusheng who was driving today, not his driver.
