Gu Zhizhi glanced at the number on the die and his eyes flickered.
The next day, before Gu Xuizhou woke up, the curtains in his house were pulled open by a ghost. Sunlight shone into the room through the transparent window. Gu Xuizhou frowned unhappily and changed his position to sleep. At the same time, he covered his head with the blanket.
Gu Xuizhou was in a daze. He didn't know that a little thing had run into his room, jumped onto his bed, and was about to lick him.
Gu Xuizhou, who was lying on the bed, raised his eyebrows. Who was stepping on him?
Gu Xuizhou pushed the blanket away and saw his son stepping on his chest. It stuck out its little tongue and moved closer to the dog's head, trying to lick his face. Gu Xuizhou hurriedly blocked the increasingly fat dog's head with his hands.
"Stop, stop, stop. Sit down!" Hearing Gu Xuizhou's words, the dog tilted its head and froze for a moment. Then, it continued to move closer to Gu Xuizhou's face, trying to give Gu Xuizhou a morning kiss.
What should I do if my dog is too stupid? Can I throw it away?
Gu Xuizhou silently complained in his heart. He looked out at the sunlight and saw a note on his blanket. "Today's shopping: pork ribs, beef, potatoes, cowpeas … Also, remember to order a cake. If you don't go now, you'll have to cook later."
Gu Xuizhou saw the last note. He scratched his head and took a deep breath. He tried to get rid of the sleepiness in his body. Then, he rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Thirty minutes later, Gu Xuizhou was in the supermarket with the note in his hand. He bought everything according to the requirements on the note. Of course, some of the things he bought were cooked food. At the same time, he ordered two pots of lobster to be delivered to his house at 12 o 'clock.
After buying all the things he wanted to buy, Gu Xizhou sat on a chair at the side like an old man. He crossed his legs and sat on the sofa watching TV.
Two hours later, his phone rang. Wang Ao and his family were downstairs and ready to go upstairs.
Gu Xizhou greeted Gu Zhizhi first, then opened the door and went downstairs to bring Wang Ao and the others upstairs.
"Doggy. Mommy, look, it's a little doggy." As soon as Fatty entered the house, he set his eyes on the Gu Xizhou family dog. He went over and groped the dog. The poor dog whimpered, but didn't dare to move his mouth. He could only endure Fatty's "caresses."
"Don't bully the puppy." Wang Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fatty. Fatty was holding the little Golden Retriever from Gu Xizhou and looking at his father for help with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing his wife's gaze, Huo Zheng coughed softly and shifted his slightly sympathetic gaze away. He followed Wang Ao and Kong Yue to the sofa.
"Uncle Wang, please wait for a moment. There are still two dishes left. They will be ready soon!" Gu Xizhou said with a smile.
"Let me help you!" Wang Shu said after some thought.
Gu Xizhou hurriedly waved his hand. He absolutely could not let Wang Shu help. "It's okay. Sit down for a while! It will be ready soon! "
After Gu Xizhou settled with Wang Ao and his family, he walked into the kitchen and closed the door. He leaned against the cupboard leisurely and waited for Zhizhi to cook. If he let Wang Shu in to help, he wouldn't be able to be so leisurely!
Gu Xizhou was just thinking about this when Ghost Crooked Finger suddenly flicked his forehead. A handful of garlic was stuffed into his hands and a note was stuck to his forehead. Gu Xizhou took it down and read the words: Hurry up.
Gu Xizhou: … Didn't you say you were going to cook? Liar!
However, Gu Zhizhi did not ask Gu Xizhou to cook anything else. After all, he knew that Gu Xizhou was too lazy to cook. He would either eat out or wait for Gu Xizhou to cook.
Gu Xizhou carried the dishes out plate by plate. Although they were all simple home-cooked dishes and the main ingredients, such as lobsters, were bought outside, he had to admit that Zhizhi was really virtuous. It was a pity that virtuous Zhizhi did not come around often, but Zhizhi did.
"Daddy? Daddy? I want to eat that! "shouted Fatty, who was sitting next to Huo Zheng and trying his best to grab the corner of his father's shirt.
Huo Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "Pick it up yourself. Don't you have hands?"
Fatty, "… Oh."
Fatty, who could not feel the slightest bit of love, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, feeling wronged, and ate silently.
"Hubby, help me peel the prawns!" said Wang Shu crisply.
Huo Zheng: "Okay!"
Seeing his father's nimble movements, Fatty began to doubt his life. "???"
Gu Xizhou could not help but tease, "It's a large-scale double standard scene. We have to watch a public display of affection while eating."
When Wang Shu heard this, she giggled and said, "Well, it's your fault for being single. Huo Zheng and I are like magic. Look, my son can already play with soy sauce. What about you?"
Fatty, who could play with soy sauce, "…"
Gu Xizhou smiled but did not say anything.
Gu Xizhou did not see Wang Ao and his family off until eight o 'clock in the evening.
"Goodbye, Uncle Wang. Be careful on the road."
Wang Ao nodded and looked at his family members who had already gotten into the car. He pulled Gu Xizhou aside and said, "Xizhou, about last time … Are you hiding something from me? Don't touch those weird things. "
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang." Gu Xizhou nodded slightly at him and said softly, "I am indeed hiding something from you, but I didn't commit any crimes. Look, I go home after work every day and work at the police station, right? You watch me every day! "
"Yeah, that's true." Wang Ao nodded and worriedly reminded Gu Xizhou a few more times before leaving with his family.
Gu Xizhou let out a long sigh and looked up at the seventh floor of his building. The lights in his house were still on.
Gu Xizhou went upstairs and opened the door. He heard the sound of dishes being washed in the kitchen. He leaned against the kitchen door with his hands behind his back and thought for a moment before asking, "Do you need help?"
Gu Zhizhi, "…"
Gu Xizhou: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you need help."
Gu Zhizhi, "…"
The man and the ghost cleaned up the mess at home. As soon as Gu Xizhou sat down, he saw the word "Thank you" written on the checkered booklet on the table.
Gu Xizhou's eyes couldn't help but fall on the two dice on the table. Seeing this, Gu Xizhou remembered that when he went out to buy things during the day, he sent a WeChat message to Fang Zhi and Ma Qi to find the dice to try. Fang Zhi's dice had numbers 1 to 6, but Ma Qi hadn't replied to his message yet.
It had been so long. What was Ma Qi doing?
Gu Xizhou picked up his phone and called Ma Qi. He waited for a long time before someone picked up the phone.
Gu Xizhou: "Brother Ma?"
Ma Qi: "Yes, it's me …"
Ma Qi's voice was strangely choked and very low. Gu Xizhou subconsciously asked, "Brother Ma, did you just cry?"
"Yes …" Ma Qi heard Gu Xizhou's words and couldn't help covering his mouth with his hand. His nose suddenly became sour and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Xizhou obviously felt that something was wrong with Ma Qi. He asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?"
"One of my friends … died today." Ma Qi was silent for a moment and continued, "The four of us went in together … He … he died. I saw him jump out of the window and commit suicide in front of us."
"I saw him, he jumped down. His body was a mess of flesh and blood …"
In the end, March choked up and couldn't say a word.
Gu Xizhou comforted Ma Qi, but he suddenly thought of a question. If one day Si Yu and Fang Zhi died in front of him, how would he feel?
Gu Xizhou felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was as if a sharp knife had pierced his heart. It hurt so much that he couldn't speak. It was suffocating in his heart.
He could ignore the others, but Si Yu and Fang Zhi were different for him. Si Yu didn't care, but Gu Xizhou admitted that he was moved. In Gu Xizhou's eyes, Fang Zhi was no different from his younger brother. He would feel very sad if any of them died.
It was funny that he had been lucky in the past few worlds. With Si Yu leading the two of them, coupled with his strength, the past few worlds could be considered smooth sailing.
However, in the last world of snowmen, he was almost killed by Fu Yiran. He should have died, but with Li Yan's item, he was saved instead. He didn't know if it was because of his good luck or not.
The sudden death of Ma Qi's friend made Gu Xizhou realize something …
It wasn't that there was no death in the mission world, it was just that death didn't fall on him.
People who went through life and death together naturally had a different kind of friendship. Gu Xizhou could completely understand why Ma Qi cried so sadly. This kind of heartache was beyond imagination.
Gu Xizhou didn't continue to ask Ma Qi about the dice. He wanted to wait until Ma Qi calmed down.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou's Adam's apple bobbed and he looked down in a daze.
In the mission world, death was eternal. He might die one day, just like Zhizhi.
Gu Zhizhi, who had also listened to Ma Qi's call, wrote: You'll be fine.
"I'll live as long as I can." Gu Xizhou smiled. "Actually, I'm the one who took advantage of you, hahaha."
Gu Zhizhi lowered her eyes slightly to look at Gu Xizhou. Then, he slowly looked away.
After about two hours, Gu Xizhou's phone rang again. Gu Xizhou saw Ma Qi's name on the caller ID and was slightly stunned. Had Ma Qi recovered so quickly?
Gu Xizhou picked up the phone and heard a sharp female voice. "Hello, hello. Can you please go to XXX Road and pick up your friend? He drank too much. I'm going to close the shop! "
"Oh, okay. I'll be right there." Gu Xizhou glanced at the time. It was about ten o 'clock, which was not too late. He drove directly to pick up Ma Qi.
"Woo, woo, woo …" Ma Qi collapsed and squatted at the corner of the street, crying bitterly. His tears couldn't stop falling. It was hard to associate this soft and fragile man with a drug enforcement officer. "I saw him die in front of me. Why are we so weak? What's the point of living like this? Every day, every hour, every moment, we see our death time counting down!"
"Other people's death can appear at any time, but our death is counting down! We know our time of death, Gu Xizhou. "Ma Qi cried and grabbed Gu Xizhou's collar. He broke down and asked," Tell me, why do we keep struggling in the mission world? We're going to die sooner or later anyway! We're all going to die! "
Gu Xizhou thought for a while and replied, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of death."
Obviously, the death of his companion in the mission world had a great impact on Ma Qi. Gu Xizhou didn't stop him. He found a bar with Ma Qi and continued to drink.
Gu Xizhou sat at the bar and watched Ma Qi drink.
"Really, I feel so tired. I'm trying my best to live, but I don't know when I'll be free …" Ma Qi said painfully, "It's like there's a pair of invisible hands controlling all of our fates.
"Sometimes I really want to lose. It's good. At least I don't have to continue to be on tenterhooks in the mission world. In fact, I'm very scared. Every time I go in, I wonder if I can come out.
"I feel … tired."
Gu Xizhou sat aside and drank some wine silently. He was also in a heavy mood at this time.
Who could guarantee that they would never die? There was no such person …
The 126-year-old Ye Shu let Ma Qi know that the mission world could give people immortality and endless possibilities. However, his dead teammate slapped him and woke him up. There was not only immortality in the mission world, but also death.
Gu Xizhou's phone on the table vibrated twice. Gu Xizhou looked down.
Si Yu: What do you want to eat tomorrow?
Gu Xizhou picked up the phone and replied, "Anything."
Si Yu: It's so noisy over there. Are you outside?
Gu Xizhou: I'm drinking with Ma Qi outside. He's the Ma Yu from the school world. One of his teammates died. "
Si Yu: Did you drive?
Gu Xizhou was stunned when he saw Si Yu's message. He didn't understand why Si Yu asked this. He replied, "Yes, I drove. I'll call a designated driver later."
Si Yu: Send me your location. I'll be right there. "
Gu Xizhou: Why are you coming?
Si Yu: I'll be your designated driver.
