As soon as Gu Xiaomeng opened her eyes, it was already dawn, she thought badly, a carp turned over and jumped out of bed, opened the door, only to find that Gu Zhanqiao and the easternmost bedroom were empty.

She hurried downstairs.

"What are you doing in the morning?" Gu Zhanqiao was eating breakfast at the dining table, and when he saw Gu Xiaomeng being reckless, he ran downstairs in three steps and two steps, and asked her.

Gu Xiaomeng ignored it, ran to the dining room and then went around to the living room, and finally stood on the balcony and looked into the garden, and saw that there was no one else except for Liu's mother pruning the flowers and plants.

She nuzzled her mouth in disappointment, and with a weak hand she walked to the table, picked up a piece of bread, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Gu Zhanqiao looked at her funny, and ignored it, only the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he continued to drink the milk in the cup.

"You're still laughing. If people want to leave, you can tell me anyway, how can I be the little master of this house, and it is always a way of hospitality to send others. ”

"What kind of hospitality?" Mama Liu walked into the living room and asked with concern when she saw Gu Xiaomeng's unhappy look.

"It's the guest who came last night, I didn't see anyone before I saw him, and my brother didn't take me to get to know him. ”

Gu Xiaomeng continued to pout, glanced at Gu Zhanqiao complainingly, and saw that Gu Zhanqiao did not respond to her, and continued to chew bread calmly.

She was helpless, and then her eyes rolled as if she had found something, and she quickly ran to Liu's mother, grabbed her arm, and said affectionately, "Liu's mother, Liu's mother, who is she?"

Mother Liu glanced at Gu Zhanqiao, and saw that his expression was calm, no different from usual, so she smiled and touched Gu Xiaomeng's head, "It's a girl." ”

"Wow, I'll just say, I went to the bathroom and saw an earring in front of the mirror. ”

"Hmph, the stinky brother just likes to play tricks, and he doesn't share his girlfriend with the little old girl", Gu Xiaomeng squinted at Gu Zhanqiao, and blamed his tone.

Gu Zhanqiao didn't speak, just drank the milk from the cup, then pretended to raise his eyebrows helplessly, took a newspaper and went upstairs.

"Cut, let's be stingy, who rarely asks you, I'll ask Mama Liu", Gu Xiaomeng glanced at Gu Zhanqiao, and then hugged Mama Liu's neck and asked, "Isn't it beautiful, what does it look like, do you have big eyes?"

Mother Liu was pulled to the sofa by Gu Xiaomeng and sat down, she looked up and saw Gu Zhanqiao stepping firmly on the second floor, so she smiled and said to Gu Xiaomeng, "It's very beautiful, and her temperament is also very good." ”

"And then, then?" Gu Xiaomeng looked expectant.

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Xiaomeng, you can eat breakfast first, it will be cold in a while." ”

"Go on. ”

Mother Liu was a little embarrassed, "But I'm going to go out for a while", seeing that Gu Xiaomeng was unhappy, she stroked her hair and said, "I believe you will see her with your own eyes in the future." ”

In fact, Yi Xinnong didn't meet Gu Zhanqiao at all in the morning, and she didn't sleep well that night.

The past is like a strong wind, and even dreams are real.

She woke up at dawn, got dressed and got out of bed, tidied up the fatigue of the night, and when she walked to the staircase, she happened to meet Liu's mother who came out of the kitchen.

Mother Liu was taken aback when she saw Yi Xinnong who got up early, and said, "Miss Yi got up so early?"

"Well, I can't sleep, Aunt Liu, it's good if you call me Xinqiang. ”

"Good. Mother Liu responded, she looked at the girl in front of her carefully, hesitated, but still reached out and took her hand, and asked with concern, "How are you doing all these years?"

When Yi Xinnong heard this, her nose was sore, and her eyes were slightly flushed, but she still held back, bit her lower lip, and nodded vigorously.

Mother Liu looked at Yi Xinnong, who had already become an adult in front of her, sighed softly, then patted her back, and said gently, "That's good, that's good." ”

Yi Xin stabilized his emotions and straightened out his throat, "Aunt Liu has been okay all these years?"

"Good, good, everything is good, as long as you are good, I am good. ”

The east has begun to turn white, and the morning glow looks more clear and crimson in the cold morning light.

Yi Xinnong came back to her senses from her sad emotions, she looked up at the watch on the wall, and said to Liu's mother: "Aunt Liu, I have to go, I still have something very important to do today." ”

"I'm almost ready for breakfast, you eat something and then go, I see it's still early, after you finish eating porridge, I'll go upstairs and ask Zhanqiao to get up and see you off." ”

Yi Xinong hurriedly stopped: "No, Aunt Liu, I really don't want to eat, don't call him, let him sleep more." ”

"So where are you going?" I called the driver, Master Wang, and asked him to come and drive you away. ”

Yi Xinong excused himself, "It's okay, I'll just go out and take a taxi, don't trouble everyone." ”

As he spoke, he was about to go out.

Seeing this, Liu's mother hurriedly ran into the kitchen and got a cup of hot milk and bread to catch up.

Yi Xinnong didn't postpone it any longer, she took the food, bowed slightly to Liu's mother and left in a hurry.

In the huge courtyard, only Mother Liu looked at Yi Xinnong for a long time and sighed slightly.

She closed the door thoughtfully.

Liu Jieer didn't expect the plane to be delayed, she originally planned to fly directly from London to City A, but London suddenly fell foggy, so she could only reroute to Charles de Gaulle Airport, and then fly from Charles de Gaulle to Shanghai, and then take the high-speed train from Shanghai back to City A.

When she arrived at Pudong Airport, it was 4 o'clock in the morning, she dragged a tired taxi to the high-speed rail station, and when she arrived at the station, the high-speed rail had not yet come.

But I couldn't sleep steadily, opened WeChat and flipped through it over and over again, and finally stayed in Yi Xinong's interface, typing, "Xinnong, I went back to City A, I wanted to surprise you, but I'm too sleepy, you pick me up at City A high-speed rail station at half past eight, I'm going to sleep at your house for a while, ah, right now, I'm so sleepy that I can pound garlic." ”

Liu Jieer is Yi Xinong's college classmate and roommate, because of the good relationship, Yi Xinong later changed his major and did not change the dormitory, so he lived an extremely happy four years.

They gossip together and talk about the most important secrets in each other's hearts.

Yi Xinong also encouraged her to confess when she was about to graduate, although the confession result was unsatisfactory, but she finally told the other party the feelings that had accumulated in her heart for thirteen years.

I still remember the evening of the confession.

It was a typhoon day, the rain was pouring outside, lightning and thunder, she hid under the desk and looked through the classmates' records to find his phone, and after a long beep, the other party connected.

Then Liu Jie'er said everything through the thunder, and finally hung up the phone tremblingly.

Then, she went to England alone to study, and she also studied anthropology, which she had always thought about, but she couldn't help it, her pursuit of scholarship was the same as that of a crush, forever persistent, always secret.

She was very tired now, and after a long flight of more than ten hours, she was no longer energetic, and she lay on her suitcase, only praying that the high-speed train would come soon.

Yi Xinong saw Liu Jieer's message when she got up, and after saying goodbye to Liu's mother, she took a taxi directly to the high-speed rail station.

The high-speed rail station in City A is in the south of the city, while Gu Zhanqiao's home is in the north of the city, spanning the entire City A, and it takes two hours to take a taxi.

When Yi Xinong saw Liu Jie'er at the high-speed rail station, she was sitting on the waiting chair munching on a glutinous rice dumpling.

As before, Liu Jie'er always stuffed her mouth full when she ate, and her two cheeks bulged out, like a little hamster, chewing and looking around, but obviously, she didn't notice Yi Xinnong who had entered the hall.

The sky was already dark, and the waiting hall was bustling.

Yi Xinong approached Liu Jie'er, quietly walked behind her, leaned forward and asked, "This young lady, are the zongzi delicious?"

Liu Jie'er was startled, and when she turned around, she found that it was Yi Xinong, so she quickly stood up and hugged her, and whined, "Why did you come now, people are going to be sleepy, and I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Yi Xinnong looked helpless, raised his wrist and showed Liu Jie'er, "It's only eight thirty-two now." ”

"Hmph, I don't care, you told me to wait two more minutes. As he spoke, he hugged Yi Xinong tighter, "Don't say it, forgive you for being late, Xinnong, I want to kill you." ”

Yi Xinnong also hugged Liu Jie'er tightly, learning her tone and saying, "I'm the same." ”

The two hugged each other for about five minutes, then let go.

Yi Xinnong looked at Liu Jie'er and looked carefully, "How are you doing in the UK? It's very tiring this way, why can't you find a better time for the flight at four o'clock in the morning? Why are you so tired? Are you uncomfortable?"

Liu Jie'er laughed, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have become a nagging woman, aren't you coming back? Liu Jie'er paused for a moment, and then said, "But I'm going to stay at your house today, do you agree, Miss Yi." ”

"Okay, how long do you like to stay, and you just want to tell me about what you have seen and heard in England in the past few years. Yi Xinong helped Liu Jie'er pull up her suitcase, lifted her bag again, and said, "Let's go, take you to my sister's princess castle."

Liu Jie'er obediently stuffed the last bite of zongzi into her mouth, stepped on high heels and followed Yi Xinnong closely, "It doesn't matter what you see or hear, the important thing is that I still have a Chinese stomach in the end, the food of Great Britain is not flattering, looking up at the starry sky series really scares me, or our zongzi are delicious." ”

"Then what do you want to eat today? ”

"Actually, what I want to eat most is the dumplings you made. Liu Jie'er said.

Yi Xinnon was obviously a little surprised by this answer.

Liu Jie'er saw Yi Xin's strange appearance, and said proudly, "I can't think of it, it's strange to say, I, a girl from Jiangnan, actually want to eat dumplings." ”

"yes, I thought you were going to eat Yangzhou fried rice or duck blood vermicelli soup, or your mother's super sweet and sour pork. ”

"Do you remember the roommate I told you when I first arrived in the UK for half a year, the one who was in the same province as you, he made dumplings that were delicious, and he made a taste with you. ”

Yi Xinong recalled with some difficulty, "It seems that there really is such a thing." ”

"Yes, I was in England without relatives, London was cold and rainy in winter, it happened to be Laba, my roommate was cooking dumplings, I rubbed and ate a few, the taste was amazing, then I remembered the scene where you made dumplings for us in the dormitory. But, then again, do all the dumplings in your province taste the same?"

Without waiting for Yi Xinnong's reaction, Liu Jie'er continued, "Otherwise, why does he wrap it so much like yours, hey, it's a pity that he was busy after graduation and never cooked again, which is why I have been talking about it for so long." ”

"How can there be a province where dumplings taste the same, may I ask all the people in Yangzhou have the same taste of fried rice? ”

"Yes, it doesn't matter, you have to give me a bag today anyway!" Liu Jie'er played a scoundrel.

"Okay, okay, listen to Miss Liu. ”

The two laughed all the way along, sometimes the sound was too loud, and it would cause passers-by to look sideways.

After two years, the two are still so close, as if they were in college, youthful, sunny, lively, and sincere.
