Chapter 152 Worldly
"Do you really think Gu Yunkai is suitable for you?"
Arnold, who was still shivering from the cold just now, was relieved a little after taking a hot bath to warm his body. The room temperature was adjusted to be neither hot nor cold, just right. He tied up his long nightgown and hung it With a towel on her wet hair, and the wound near the cheekbone looks a little pale, she casually leaned against the wall and said to Jian Yuan who was rummaging through the medicine box.
Just now Wen Jingan brought him a new nightgown, but there were no clothes that fit the size, and it was getting late, so Arnold was asked to spend the night in the guest room wearing a nightgown, and then went down to make ginger tea.And Jian Yuan found the medicine box and came out. Before Arnold came out, he rummaged through the pills in the box for a while. Wen Jing'an probably used them before, and they were more or less messy. He couldn't find what he needed for a long time. thing.
"what?"
Jian Yuan's hand paused slightly, and finally found the cotton swab and hydrogen peroxide, and took them out together without making a sound. His heart was as clear as a mirror, but his face didn't show at all, he just sorted it out a little. He patted down the broken hair on his forehead, and said in a calm tone, "So enthusiastic about the public's aspirations? You can't stop your mouth even if something happened to you."
Arnold came over and sat down, crossed his legs in the soft bed, he didn't look so scary when he first entered the door, and he vaguely had the meaning of laughing and cursing as he wanted before: "You are people from two worlds. To be honest, I have met so many people. This is the first time I have seen him who lived a 20-year-old fox at the age of 40. When you quit "Qu Gao He Zhong", I I just don't think the two of you are right for each other."
This world is not so gentle, maybe he was once a hundred times gentler to Jian Yuan, but after he fell in love with Gu Yunkai, those sharp and cruel sides gradually revealed.In this world, no one can only think about himself, and not everything can be done as he wants. It is precisely because of this that human tolerance can become a virtue.
"Then who do you think Yunkai is suitable for?" Unexpectedly, after hearing Arnold's remarks, Jian Yuan, who had always valued this relationship, was not very angry. Arnold disinfected the wound, "Just because I withdrew from that activity, does it mean that Yunkai and I are not suitable?"
He knows very well that compared to Yun Kai's maturity, he is sometimes too immature, but being exposed by Arnold makes Jian Yuan inevitably feel a burst of sadness.Ever since quitting the "Qugao Hezhong" activity, Jian Yuan couldn't help thinking that if he could be as smart and calm as Gu Yunkai, would he be able to handle it better? It was clearly his own decision, but Still can't stop tossing and turning to think at night.
"You really want me to say it?" Arnold sneered, and said lightly, "If you really want to tell your heart, I actually think that Gu Yunkai and the teacher are much more suitable. One is eccentric and the other is scheming. Together, my father will definitely be played around, but the so-called repulsion of the same kind, it is not easy for the two of them to get along peacefully, maybe they will cheat each other; according to the way of taking care of Yunkai, you can compare with him Get up, it's really too tender."
As soon as Jian Yuan accidentally pressed some cotton swabs, Arnold, who was analyzing the situation calmly just now, almost screamed in pain. He glared at his junior brother angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Are you trying to murder me?! To be honest Did it offend you?"
"Sorry, I made a mistake." Jian Yuan apologized without sincerity, instead of answering the previous sentence, he asked another irrelevant question, "Speaking of which, who moved your face? ?”
"Old man." Arnold turned his face slightly, the irritation from the potion made him frowned subconsciously, and said dryly, "Besides him, do you think anyone else would dare to hit me? I thought of everything It's perfect, but when the old man really went on a blind date and found someone to marry me, I still felt uncomfortable after thinking about it. He has always raised me as a person, and now he wants me to be a pig and breed honestly. I can't accept it , so I fought with the old man and ran out."
There is only one old man in Arnold's family, and that is Prince Merman. His father is in poor health, prefers civil servants, and has a more gloomy personality. Not only does he have an ordinary relationship with Arnold's father and son, but he also has a very close relationship with Prince Merman. Generally, because it doesn't look like Prince Merman and is not very favored.And Prince Merman marched and fought when he was young, and he did not relax his training after retirement. Although he was old, it was easy for him to knock down four or five young people who had not been trained.
"I really don't know whether it should be said that Prince Merman is old and strong, or that you are young and promising." Jian Yuan couldn't help sighing after hearing Arnold's feat, "If you could have escaped alive from his hands 30 years earlier If you come out, I am afraid that the federation will send you medals for bravery across countries."
"Fighting the old man 30 years earlier?" Arnold was incredulous, "Your brain is wrong or I am, isn't this obviously courting death?"
These jokes are left aside, although Jian Yuan hopes that the two of them can tacitly let go of the previous topic together, but Arnold obviously did not receive his brain waves at all, and did not understand the atmosphere at all. After the end, it was quite annoying to bring it up again: "Have you ever thought about the problem between you and Gu Yunkai?"
"What problem can we have?" Jian Yuan threw the cotton swab into the trash can, twisted the cap of the hydrogen peroxide bottle, put the things back one by one, and began to wonder why Wen Jingan didn't come up to get a big bowl of hot ginger Tang blocked the mouth of the bastard in front of him, "People who run away from home for the first time should take good care of themselves."
"You guys are so smooth." Arnold said, "Ayuan, you have been smooth since you were young, and your relationship with Gu Yunkai is also smooth. You like him, and he just likes you. Except for a little less talent, You have hardly suffered any big losses. I know you feel that everything is voluntary now, but do you really know what you want?"
Jian Yuan paused, closed the medicine box on his own, and said calmly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"I'm sure, if Gu Yunkai was in your situation, he would never make the same choice as you." Arnold squeezed his shoulder, and he asked suddenly, "By the way, is there any fire? "
"Speak as if you still have cigarettes now." Jian Yuan sighed, took out the cigarette and the match and handed it to Arnold.He seldom smokes, but that doesn't mean he doesn't smoke. Sometimes he gets stuck with his manuscript, or he doesn't have enough inspiration, or when he needs to relax.
Arnold struck the match and lit the cigarette. He was about to bring it to his lips, but he put it down again for some reason. He just held it between his fingers, watched the cigarette butt burning quietly, and said after a long silence: "You have become very Unlike you, if you were in the past, basically nothing would hinder you from participating in that event, you may love Gu Yunkai very much, and in a short period of time it is better than music, but you will regret it."
Jane was far silent, and Arnold didn't know if he had regretted it. This is nothing more than human nature. No matter how clearly he thought about it before making a decision, it is impossible to go on without regrets.Jian Yuan really cared too much about Gu Yunkai, even a little bit beyond his own bottom line. Arnold didn't know Gu Yunkai very well, but it didn't mean he didn't know what kind of person Gu Yunkai was.
This man is calm, rational, and cold enough.
He will never do anything that he regrets because of Jian Yuanmao's hasty impulse. Although love is not equal, there is always one party who pays too much, but judging from the personalities of Gu Yunkai and Jian Yuan , he felt that it would be better for Jian Yuan to have more self-control.If there was any accident one day, it would never be Gu Yunkai who collapsed, and it would never be Jian Yuan who calmly withdrew from this relationship.
There is no second outsider who knows better than Arnold what kind of family education Jian Yuan received since he was a child, so he also clearly realized that Jian Yuan cherishes Gu Yunkai as much as he cares about music. Emotions blinded himself, and in order to get rid of the latter, Jian Yuan almost made various attempts, but ultimately failed.
For a long time, Jian Yuan has taken it for granted to rationalize his contribution, and never thought that his attitude towards Gu Yunkai's ease in the current difficult situation, in the final analysis, is because he was too tolerant and allowed that man to gain too much freedom. The painful choices are all borne by himself.
If the relationship reaches this point, there is not much difference between cherishing and being humble.
"I know he is very important to you, and I also know that you are very happy with him. I'm not questioning the relationship between the two of you." Arnold said calmly, "It's just that if a relationship is maintained by yourself Go on, you can use what I want, what I want, I want to be with you, so I am willing to pay for you as an excuse to last for a year or two, but how long do you think you can go?"
Jian Yuan lowered his head slowly and said nothing.
He really wants to be as mature and stable as his father or uncle, someone Gu Yunkai can rely on, but he can't grow up so fast, and even try to make the other party happy, maintain such an intimate relationship, and satisfy himself unilaterally Emotional needs are exhausted.Perhaps what he was born with was not only musical talent, but also emotional talent.
"Emotions are a matter between two people. I have also learned a little about Mr. Jian Wen's temper. He is an extraordinary person who seeks benevolence, but he is also very rational. If he doesn't want it, he will leave with his hands. But you You can't do it, you will never be as free and easy as your father." Arnold wiped the water on his hair, "At least you won't be tired, so give up immediately. You have been raised so much since you were a child, what do you want? , just pay by yourself, but feelings are not calculated in this way, a person who sacrifices unilaterally will be exhausted."
"You are a musician, and you have the simplicity and purity of pursuing art; but Gu Yunkai may not be, he is a very decent and polite man, he knows the measure, and the meaning of knowing the measure means that he will never compromise the bottom line for you." Arnold emphasized Said, "I know that the teacher and your father would never talk about this matter, and your education will also make you feel insecure after doubting your own decision, so I want to tell you that this is normal. "
Jian Yuan subconsciously said: "You think this is normal, but this is my own decision, and when I gave up, I was very happy with Yunkai. It's just..."
"I just still feel regretful, envious, and sad about those comments?" Arnold asked, "To be honest, sometimes I envy your family, but sometimes I feel that they are too much like a wild animal. Yes. I can’t count the things you hated in music because of Gu Yunkai. Just the recent incident, when you worked hard to participate in activities but changed your mind temporarily. If it were you, do you think you are Joker, if you have such a person in your group, will you feel bored, and the confession that has nothing to do with music to the world at the Pagani competition before."
"I don't think that life should follow the rules, but you are too deviant. Sometimes the world is like this, requiring you to be loyal to an object." Arnold smiled and patted Jian Yuan on the shoulder, "You It's so smooth, so I never think about it from another secular angle, but you are far better than me in many things, you helped me before, this time I will repay your favor."
Many things don't need to be explained too clearly, Jian Yuan almost figured out what he had been worrying about after being mentioned a little bit, he thought for a while, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, so he asked again: "How long do you plan to stay here? "
"Only for a few days." Arnold said succinctly, "Even if his father is the God of Wealth who fills up half of the national treasury, I don't think the old man will be so polite and can't cause trouble for Wen Jingan. I left them at home, and I won’t come here. Fortunately, the old man finally didn’t ask me to take off the suit and underwear on my body and return them to him.”
Jian Yuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat aware of the problem: "So serious?"
"So serious." Arnold affirmed.
Jian Yuan doesn't really want to know what demagogic words Jian Mo provided on Arnold's pursuit of freedom in life - after all, Arnold can incite Arnold who is almost resigned to his fate. Apart from the awakening of his own consciousness, there are probably some things that are enough to weigh After thinking about the casual words of the elders, the only possible candidate was Jian Mo.
Leaving aside whether Jian Mo’s proposal was out of good intentions or on purpose, as Jian Yuan’s tutor said: When you make your own choice, even if it is an unintentional proposal from others, it is your own choice in the end, and no one should Take responsibility for you.
Arnold is apparently doing the same now.
The conversation between the two was coming to an end when Wen Jing'an walked in as if he had pinpointed the point. He was holding ginger soup and knocked on the door very politely. A soft voice sounded from outside: "May I come in?"
"Come in quickly."
Compared to Gu Yunkai who talks elegantly, Arnold actually appreciates Wen Jingan who is genuine and gentle. The man Jian Yuan loves is too much like a statue, wearing an extraordinary mask, quietly rejecting others. Thousands of miles away, his emotions are like the emotions displayed after precise control. The city is deep, so calm that he lacks the vitality and impulsiveness that should be at this age. Fortunately, Jane is far enough to complement him.
Arnold can almost say with certainty that no matter what environment Gu Yunkai is thrown into, even with someone like his teacher, he may be able to be a perfect intelligence officer, and he will make his words and deeds very different. In line with his own status, as an ordinary person who is not yet 30 years old, his tact and thoughtfulness are too much.
People who are too perfect are always easy to arouse extreme likes and dislikes from others. Arnold certainly doesn't hate him, but between Jian Yuan and Gu Yunkai, it's obvious which side he prefers.
Arnold has always thought that Jian Yuan would be the type of a big sister in the middle of the year, but he never expected that he would finally gnaw a tender grass that looked like old grass, and he would succeed in gnawing it.
I really don't know whether to call it inspirational or horror.
Now that someone came to take care of Arnold, Jian Yuan naturally retired. He stood up and looked at Arnold. Before taking Jiang Tang, the other party just said the last sentence to him calmly: "I think very much. Clear, do you think clearly?"
Wen Jing'an looked at Arnold very blankly, and then at Jian Yuan, her expression was a bit tangled, not sure if she should ask what the two of them were talking about at the moment, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt to speak rashly.Fortunately, Jian Yuan just paused for a moment and didn't stay long. He nodded quickly and walked out. Wen Jing'an simply put aside those inexplicable questions and focused on Arnold's situation.
Of course Jian Yuan thought very clearly, never before.
It’s just that in many cases, things can’t be easily revealed without thinking clearly. Arnold chooses freedom between freedom and power, while Jian Yuan chooses Gu Yunkai between music and Gu Yunkai. This doesn’t mean that he He will not care about losing this opportunity at all, regret and envy still echo in his heart, and sometimes he can't help but think, it would be great if he participated in that event by himself, sitting there and performing .
He did have such an opportunity, but he gave up.
What really caused Jian Yuan to reflect was actually the attitude of Master Delphant. Before the Pagani Competition, Master Delphant, who was happy to think that he was a young man, once blessed his love and praised his attitude, but this time he quit " Even Master Daphant was extremely disappointed in him for the activity of "Song Gao He Gong".
There are always things in the world that are more important than others. Master Delphant doesn't mind if he chooses to accompany his family or even his lover, but he shouldn't treat hard work and other people's approval as a casual thing.Even if Jian Yuan finds Su Xiaoqing as a pianist to replace him, it can’t erase the bad influence his quitting halfway has caused in other people’s hearts. Giving up halfway is what Delphant hates most, and music is what Daphant values most. Existence, Jian Yuan happened to violate these two taboos at the same time.
For a long time, Delphant has given Jian Yuan selfless care and advice as if he were his nephew, which made him feel sad and disappointed, and Jian Yuan inevitably felt very guilty.
Although Arnold's arrival is insignificant, it inevitably disturbed the gathering of the group to some extent. Wen Jingan made ginger soup and lingered downstairs for so long before, because chatting with friends was on the rise, and it was raining too much today It was too late, and the host decided to stay overnight. Sharp, Henry and Alisa had already gone to their guest room, and only Gu Yunkai was left drinking under the light.
"How's Arnold?"
Gu Yunkai raised his head to look at Jian Yuan, this glance made Jian Yuan's heart flutter again, he thought for no reason the scene when he saw Gu Yunkai for the first time many, many years ago, the young man was obviously beautiful and gentle, his face was also gone Vicissitudes, but the temperament is like an old man who has entered his twilight years, even the tone of his speech is old-fashioned.
At that time, Jian Yuan didn't love him, and he knew that Gu Yunkai didn't love him, it was just two strangers crossing the vast sea of people and meeting each other.
Countless times after that, Jian Yuan felt surprised that there were so many people, why it happened that Gu Yunkai waited until the end, and why it happened that Gu Yunkai opened his mouth suddenly.
His lover is not a person who is "enthusiastic about public welfare". In some respects, he is even cold enough to be called cold. Apart from fate, Jian Yuan can hardly think of a better adjective to compare the relationship between the two of them. relationship between.If Gu Yunkai is his destiny, then music is his destiny. Jian Yuan looked at him and thought about it, and finally just smiled slightly: "He is very good."
Gu Yun played with the empty wine glass, and as if remembering something, he waved to Jian Yuan, the two of them sat together with their shoulders together, there was still some gorgeous residual wine in the empty wine glass, swaying under the light. With a completely different color, he said softly: "I just suddenly remembered something."
"What?" Jian Yuan asked.
"I remembered the first time I met you." Gu Yunkai's usually tense face suddenly relaxed. He seemed to be always relaxed when facing Jian Yuan, not as perfect as usual, he suddenly stretched out He put his hand over the back of Jian Yuan's hand, his fingers tightened slightly, and his skin was close to his skin, and he said lightly, "I haven't been to your performance site yet."
"Soon, there will be a chance."
