Chapter 108: Choosing a City to Grow Old
Gu Yanran shook his head, "I only know that this is a begonia flower." β
Mu Cheng nodded, "Yes, the name of this finished product is 'Sleepless', do you know the source?"
"Begonia flowers do not sleep, this is a sentence in the prose of writer Yasunari Kawabata. When Gu Yanran heard these two words, he immediately thought of this sentence.
Mu Cheng nodded approvingly, his eyes were full of appreciation for this girl, and he was full of poetry and books at a young age, "Yes, this is what I want to express on this cheongsam, no matter how long, it is still there." She looked at Wen Yanzhi, "This time you brought the right person." β
"Did he bring anyone else here?" Gu Yanran turned her head to look at him, her eyes shining with a sharp light, as if as long as he nodded, she could immediately poke a hole in him.
Wen Yanzhi was a little amused by her staring, put her hands in her pockets, and tilted her head slightly to the other side.
Mu Cheng looked at the small interaction between the two and felt very interesting, she couldn't help but tease: "I know very well what kind of person Xiao Wen is, he didn't just bring people here, he has brought two before." β
The smile on Gu Yanran's face has been maintained, but the bottom of his eyes has long been stained with frost, so you can say it warmly!
Wen Yanzhi saw her displeasure, chuckled, wanted to rub her head, and dodged her, he laughed even more wantonly, is she jealous?
Afraid of backfire, Wen Yanzhi put his hands on her arms and let her face him, "It's my mother and Wen Rui, except for the two of them, it's you." β
When Gu Yanran heard this, her face flushed, people brought her sister and mother here, and she was still jealous, how could she be unreasonable?
She tilted her head to the side in embarrassment.
"Ouch, it's the first time I've seen us like this in a long time. Mu Cheng smiled, "When will the two of you get married?"
Gu Yanran, who was still blushing, heard this, his face was embarrassed again, and he secretly glanced at Wen Yan.
Wen Yanzhi was also stunned when he heard her words, but immediately reacted, "It won't be too long, I will definitely tell you when the time comes, let you come to the wedding." β
"Okay, well, then I'll wait, and when the time comes, I'll design a dress for the bride and make sure to amaze the audience. The smile on Mu Cheng's face couldn't be suppressed, and the more he looked at Gu Yanran in front of him, the more he liked it.
Gu Yanran had already walked aside in embarrassment, the two of them were embarrassed to say these words, but she was embarrassed to listen.
She walked to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows were dyed with a smile, she slowly stroked the right side of her face, and silently thought in her heart: It will be fine, so that he is worthy of him, isn't it.
She looked in the mirror and said that she was slowly overlapping with Liu Chupei's appearance in her memory, not like it, but like a god.
"Grow your hair. A voice suddenly came from behind her, slowly wrapping her, gently making her not want to escape, "It's for you." β
He stroked her hair gently, and his fingertips were also fragrant, and he suddenly wanted to see her long hair up to her waist, which must be touching.
"Good. β
Gu Yanran smiled, it had been too long, she was about to forget the appearance of her long hair, since he liked it, then she would raise it slowly.
Looking from the mirror, Wen Yanzhi's body leaned lightly against her from behind, his head rested on her shoulder, a little ambiguous, Gu Yanran tried to push her away, "Aunt Mu is still there, don't make people laugh." β
"Aunt Mu went next door to get something. Wen Yanzhi didn't let go of her, but wrapped around her, "It's really beautiful, it's very suitable for you." β
"You brought me here just so I could try on this cheongsam?"
"Not exactly. His tone was soft, and there was an intoxicating warmth in the air, "I still want Aunt Mu to meet you, I want the people I care about and the people who care about me to know you and see your goodness." β
"Aunt Mu is my mother's hair, she watched me grow up, and she can be regarded as my godmother, she told me before that if she meets someone she likes, she will bring her to meet her. β
"Aunt Mu has made cheongsams for more than 20 years, made them for my mother and my sister, and she said that she has regrets, that is, she has not made them for my future wife. β
"I laughed at her thinking too much, she was afraid that she couldn't wait for a lifetime, because I didn't think I would marry a wife and have children, and then after I met you, I was thinking, the elders are really the elders, they all know that no matter how hard the heart is, there will be a day when the person will be melted, but that person will come sooner or later. β
"I think you didn't come early or late, just right, and I'm glad that the person who came happened to be you. β
"I don't have any big pursuits, I just hope to choose a city to grow old, and meet someone with a white head, just plain. β
"I sometimes think that something seems to be predestined, that I left the entire Wen business empire behind, became an archaeologist, and went to teach in schools. He chuckled, "There are many people who don't understand me, but I know that everything has a reason for his existence, and maybe my choice of this path is because you are also here." β
"I don't know what will happen in the future, there are too many variables, I can't grasp the development of things, but only one thing I am sure of, I don't want you to be in those variables. β
Gu Yanran had been listening to him quietly, without saying a word, her eyes had already burst into tears, this was the first time she had heard him say such a long sentence so sincerely.
To say that there is no fluctuation in the heart must be false.
"Yanranβ" He whispered in her ear.
Over the years, many people have called her that, but none of them have made her throb like this, and his voice is so intoxicating.
"When you graduate, I'll marry you. He didn't ask her "how are you doing", the phrase was not an inquiry, but a promise.
Gu Yanran's tears finally flowed uncontrollably, and his voice kept echoing in her ears, coinciding with another voice:
"Apei, when you are ready, I will marry you. β
What did she say at that time? She said, "In other words, it's okay if you don't marry me, but I will marry you, me."
Isn't it enough to recruit you into the princess's mansion?"
Gu Yanran didn't know whether the tears at the moment were excited or sour, maybe both.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yanzhi felt that something was wrong with her, and when he raised his head, he saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and he hugged her into his arms in distress, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told you this." β
"Why! Don't tell me, you're still going to say it to others!" Gu Yanran hammered him on the chest, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Wen Yan immediately flattered.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yanran burst into tears and laughed, "If you don't talk well, I'm going to find Xu Yichen to break your legs." β
"Don't worry, he doesn't have that chance. Wen Yanzhi took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped her tears, "It's such a big person, and I'm still crying, and when I see it, Aunt Mu will see it, thinking that I bullied you." β
"You're bullying me. Gu Yanran didn't know that when she said this, she was a little coquettish.
"Why, I'm not here at the right time to disturb you both. A voice came from outside the door and broke the atmosphere inside.
"No, no, no. Gu Yanran was afraid that Wen Yanzhi would say something that would scare people to death, so he hurriedly explained before he was ready to speak.
"I went to get the accessories for you, just right with this cheongsam, come, you try. Mu Cheng walked over and put the white jade bracelet on her wrist.
Frightened, Gu Yanran's hand shrank, how could she not understand that this was what she said about accessories, but a meeting gift for her.
Mu Cheng knew that she was a smart child, and as early as when she was about to withdraw her hand, she clenched her hand, and the white jade bracelet slowly buckled into her wrist, which was just right.
She smiled, "It's really fate, this cheongsam is tailor-made for you, and so is this bracelet." If you don't accept it, I'll be angry, the first time I saw you, I don't have anything good, this cheongsam and bracelet should be a greeting gift, don't dislike it. β
"No, no, I'm embarrassed to say it, I came here in a bit of a hurry today, and I didn't prepare anything for Aunt Mu, so I'm really embarrassed. Gu Yanran looked at the bracelet on his hand, a little unpleasant.
Mu Cheng smiled with her eyebrows, and she was even more satisfied with Gu Yanran's child, she was brought here by Wen Yanzhi, she definitely didn't know, in this situation, she didn't push any responsibility on Wen Yanzhi, she was a good child who was understanding.
"He's already brought me a lot of good stuff. Mu Cheng smiled at her, "Listening to Xiao Wen, you can design hair accessories, I think your vision must be excellent, I want you to help me design one, is it okay?"
"Naturally. Gu Yanran's heart warmed, and the guilt and uneasiness in his heart also dissipated a little, "I just will design some hairpins and the like, and Aunt Mu should not dislike it when the time comes." β
"It's too late to like it. Mu Cheng took Gu Yanran's hand and walked out with her, "You two will stay with me for one night, and you will leave tomorrow morning, it will be difficult to come back, if you leave immediately, I will not follow." β
She led her to a side room, which was clean and tidy
Jie, "I've got everything tidied up, you guys just stay here for one night, and I'll cook you a delicious meal in the evening." β
Gu Yanran had a clear feeling that someone had been arranged, she turned to look at Wen Yanzhi, and asked him with her eyes, what should I do?
Wen Yanzhi nodded, signaling her to be reassured.
"I usually live alone, and I don't have a few extra beds for quilts and futons, so you two will use them. Mu Cheng took Gu Yanran into the room and pushed the door open.
Gu Yanran looked embarrassed, "That...... Aunt Mu, don't bother, we can live outside-"
"Aunt Mu, I'm sorry for you. Wen Yanzhi interrupted her at the right time.
Mu Cheng threw a meaningful smile at Wen Yanzhi, "I'll go buy some vegetables first, you two will stay here for a while, and eat here at noon." β
When she passed by Wen Yanzhi, she said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Aunt Mu has found such a good opportunity for you, you can grasp it yourself." β
Wen Yanzhi just smiled and didn't say anything.
When Mu Cheng walked out of the door, Gu Yanran came over and pulled Wen Yanzhi's sleeve, "Why don't we go out to live, there is only one bed here, which is not very convenient." β
"What's the matter, it's not like we haven't slept before?" Wen Yanzhi hooked his lips slightly.
What the?
