Chapter 153: Insidious Premeditation
After meeting Gu Chen, her whole person changed, becoming stubborn, even paranoid. For Gu Chen, she can give up all principles, and her dreams are gone, which is like two people like the idealistic and independent Shao Beiyuan I knew before......"
In Du Ziteng's eyes, it was difficult to hide the loss.
A goddess-like character in her heart suddenly went out of shape, and no one would be able to accept it.
"Today's matter, I think she has gone too far, so I can't help but stand up and help you. I guess she must hate me to death. β
"Shao Beiyuan, this person is actually not bad. She's just too good, no one can compare to her, and this sense of superiority makes her unable to accept a little setback. I am Shao Beiyuan's biggest setback. β
An Xiaoran's objective evaluation made Du Ziteng can't help but look at her, the wind on the lake gently stirred the hairy strands of her sideburns, and her fair side face was so beautiful in the reflection of the setting sun.
"So, no matter whether Gu Chen really likes me or not, whether Gu Chen will accept her or not, as long as I am still by Gu Chen's side for a day, she will treat me as a thorn in her side and oppose me everywhere. β
Du Ziteng nodded: "Well, your analysis of this point is very reasonable." Xiaoyuan is indeed too good...... However, this does not justify her framing others at will, and this time, I cannot forgive her for what she did. β
An Xiaoran asked, "Why don't you confess?"
"What?"
"I said, you like her, why don't you confess it? Shao Beiyuan likes Gu Chen, Gu Chen doesn't like Shao Beiyuan, Gu Chen is your best friend, if you can pursue her and let her accept you, this will not only solve Gu Chen's troubles, but also make your wishes come true, isn't it better?"
"Wow, wow, I didn't expect you to be such a little dyeer, for the sake of Gu Chen and your happiness, you actually asked me to sell my color!"
An Xiaoran laughed: "How can this be said to be for you to sell your color, I am fulfilling you." People like Shao Beiyuan are easy to get out of the horns, you can use love to influence her, maybe you can stop her from going astray, kill two birds with one stone, how good. β
Du Ziteng leaned back on the edge of the boat, squinting at the sunset on the water.
"Of course I know it's good to kill two birds with one stone, but with her personality, it's better not to say it. β
He saw with his own eyes everything Shao Beiyuan did for Gu Chen. Sometimes, he was also envious of Gu Chen, if there was a girl who was so righteous for him, he might have been moved. Moreover, this girl is still Shao Beiyuan, whom he has been paying attention to for a long time. All she had to do was smile at him, and he would dance with joy for days.
But it was precisely because he knew Shao Beiyuan's obsession with Gu Chen that he didn't dare to take the initiative to pursue it. In that way, not only will he not get Shao Beiyuan's attention, but he may also lose the opportunity to contact her because of this, just like other men who pursue her.
As a veteran of the love field, Du Ziteng knows this very well, so he has been cautious in the process of contacting Shao Beiyuan.
"It seems that you still don't know me too well, and you are not 100% sure, I will never make a move, otherwise, it will affect my record of winning 100 battles. Du Ziteng saw that she intended to hide it, so he also cooperated with her: "I saw that Xiao Dye was preoccupied, and I knew that she was looking for inspiration, so I brought her here to relax." I said Gu Chen, Xiao Dye is not a professional designer, you don't send her out to study, and you don't let Sister Pan teach her, just start taking orders, are you going to tire her? Look at her, she has lost weight. Your woman, why don't you know how to feel distressed. β
Gu Chen was unhappy: "Xiao Dye is also called by you, what does it have to do with you whether she is thin or not!"
Du Ziteng immediately made a surrender statement: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me who is too talkative." The little dye is yours, yours. β
Gu Chen's movements around An Xiaoran tightened, "Originally." β
The last rays of the setting sun faded beyond the horizon, and the sky darkened. The town's market is lit up and crowded with people who come to see the fireworks show pour into the downtown streets, and the market becomes lively.
The fireworks show in the ancient town is held once every month on the fifteenth day of the new year, in order to stimulate the economy of the town and attract tourism at the same time. Because of the expansion of the tourism industry, the town has also become rich, from the original agriculture and handicrafts to one of the famous tourist attractions in the city of C. It has lost its original taste, but it has not lost its character.
At first, Gu Chen could still walk with An Xiaoran's neck around her, but later, the crowd became more and more crowded, and he had to let go of her. An Xiaoran and Du Ziteng can play together, look at this for a while, look at that for a while, and look at that for a while, they are very happy. Gu Chen walked behind with a deep face, and his eyes never left An Xiaoran.
It was the first time he had seen her so happy, as if she didn't have any troubles, and her eyebrows were filled with vitality that he had never seen before. I have to admit that such An Xiaoran exudes a charming charm all over her body, and people can't take their eyes off it.
Coming to a marshmallow stand, An Xiaoran was attracted by the colorful marshmallows. There are many marshmallows that are made, and marshmallows with pigments are not uncommon, but what is more commendable is that in order to attract customers, this stall owner created and improved marshmallows, like the old Beijing sugar man, using different colors of marshmallows to make the shape of animals.
The marshmallow is soft, and with the cute elements of rabbits and puppies, it doesn't look like food, but more like a toy, which looks very attractive.
Du Ziteng and An Xiaoran bought one by one, Du Ziteng was a bichon dog, and An Xiaoran chose a pink and white rabbit.
She turned around and asked Gu Chen if she wanted to eat one, and Gu Chen showed great disgust. "Don't eat. β
Du Ziteng took a big bite and said, "Gu Chen doesn't eat sugar, and I don't know why he has such a special habit." β
An Xiaoran was curious: "Why, are you afraid of tooth decay?"
"I just don't like it. β
Gu Chen didn't look over, he didn't want to talk about such a boring topic anymore.
The children who stopped in front of the marshmallow stall were all children, and the two adults did not feel ashamed.
Du Ziteng bowed, leaned closer to An Xiaoran's ear and said: "See, he's such a boring person, he doesn't know how to express, and he always plays cool, it's a miracle that a person like him can have a girlfriend." β
An Xiaoran nodded in agreement.
In fact, there were many times when she knew that Gu Chen had good intentions, but every time the words came out of his mouth, it was unacceptable. In this way, it is easy to exacerbate the contradictions.
When Du Ziteng spoke, his face was about to stick to An Xiaoran's face, Gu Chen pulled An Xiaoran over: "Du Ziteng, stay away from my woman!"
An Xiaoran was unprepared, her body was unbalanced, and her face made an intimate contact with the marshmallow, which coincidentally stuck firmly to her cheek, imprinting a pink mark.
An Xiaoran was just about to wipe it, but Gu Chen took advantage of Du Ziteng's gaze to fall on the roadside stall, suddenly lowered his body and licked off the piece of marshmallow.
That's right, it's licked off, in An Xiao's stunned, with his tongue, licking, dropping, mercilessly!
Leaving traces of dampness and heat on his cheeks, An Xiaoran raised his head and saw Gu Chen licking his lips proudly.
"Gu Chen, what are you doing!"
In front of so many people, it would be too embarrassing for him to make such a move and be seen.
Besides, didn't he eat candy, why did he eat the marshmallow on her face?
"I really don't know, what's delicious here......" Gu Chen looked disgusted, but his eyes were full of smug smiles.
I don't know if it's a psychological factor, but he actually thinks that the taste of this marshmallow is not bad, it is more delicious than any kind of candy.
An Xiaoran blushed for a while, and wiped it with her hand, "Don't be so naΓ―ve, okay?" β
"Eat a bite of candy from you, and you'll be naΓ―ve?"
Where is this a matter of a mouthful of sugar, he also ...... to her by the way An Xiaoran just wanted to refute, but suddenly, a burst of colorful mottles exploded in the sky, and the fireworks show began.
In order to occupy a seat, and in order to give Gu Chen and An Xiaoran an intimate space, Du Ziteng ran over first with great vision, and Gu Chen and An Xiaoran walked behind.
An Xiaoran didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Chen, and continued to walk forward, several teenage children crossed overbearingly, pushing away the bustling crowd, An Xiaoran was hit by them and almost fell, Gu Chen hugged her from behind, and she balanced herself.
"Be careful, your feet aren't good yet. β
Gu Chen's chest was tightly pressed against her back, and his hand fell on her arm, a posture that wrapped her tightly in it. His arms and body formed a strong fortress for her, and the place that was obviously crowded suddenly became less crowded.
"I, I'm fine......"
"If there is something in front of Lu Xingchuan, it will be okay in front of me?" Gu Chen said with a sour taste.
Sure enough, here in Gu Chen, the emotion didn't last a minute.
An Xiaoran was uncomfortable, "Can you not always mention him!"
Gu Chen smiled lightly above his head: "Okay, I was wrong, don't mention him." β
So, An Xiaoran was stunned again.
What did she hear? Gu Chen was saying, he was wrong? Was he admitting his mistake?
"Gu Chen, you ......"
"An Xiaoran," Gu Chen looked at the bright night sky and said gently, "Look at that fireworks, isn't it beautiful." β
An Xiaoran looked up and saw that the fireworks were blooming in the sky in various shapes, with various colors arranged in an orderly and wonderful manner.
The beauty is fleeting, and it is forever frozen in the sky.
Instantaneous and eternal...... Yes, that's the definition of true beauty.
An Xiao looked at the night sky steadily, as if she had an inspiration in an instant.
β¦β¦
At the same time, among the crowd.
"Brothers, this time, you must not let that kid Gu Chen run away again. β
One of them, a tall, athletic man, glared fiercely at the target he had been following for a long time, and commanded fiercely.
"But, Boss, it looks like someone is following us. That Gu Chen, shouldn't he have been prepared in advance, there are only three of us, can we handle it?"
The other subordinate keenly felt the tail behind him. The man, known as the boss, turned around and looked vigilantly, but there was no clue in the neon lights and the thick night.
"Don't make a fuss, our task is Gu Chen, just take him back and hand him over to the eldest brother, the rest is not what we have to care about. β
"But ......"
"There's nothing to do, take advantage of the crowd, let's hurry up, nothing will go wrong. β
The man thought for a moment, nodded, and continued to lock on to Gu Chen's figure.
The order they received was to take down Gu Chen, and as for whether there were anyone else, they could only choose to ignore it for the time being.
In order not to startle the snake, the three of them decided to separate and outflank the crowd, and they pushed the crowd away and marched forward quickly, causing a lot of dissatisfaction from the people who were being pushed.
"That's them. β
Qing Hao had actually discovered the abnormality of this group of people a long time ago, but he hadn't found a good time to make a move. It wasn't until he saw Gu Chen in the middle of the crowd that he was even more sure of the other party's purpose. His subordinates were all ready to attack, but Qing Hao waved his hand, signaling them not to act rashly.
"There are a lot of people here, don't hurt innocent people, try not to use weapons, don't cause panic, and find an opportunity to solve it with your bare hands. β
"Yes!"
When his men got the order, they also divided into three ways and quickly followed.
Qing Hao gritted his teeth, assassinated Shao Nancheng, and pursued Gu Chen, even if they were arrogant enough to do it in public. This group of people simply doesn't take him seriously. He wanted to see where they came from and what kind of unusual background they had.
The two factions launched a pursuit and tug-of-war in the crowd, with Gu Chen as the center, and constantly moved closer to the center.
β¦β¦
Here, An Xiaoran was excited about the sudden inspiration.
She jumped up excitedly: "Gu Chen, I thought of it, I thought of the theme of this jewelry!"
"What it is. β
"Instant and eternal. An Xiaoran said excitedly: "Instant is eternal, eternity is instant, such a moral and concept is very suitable as a gift between lovers." My designs have always been limited to specific shapes, but I have neglected the most important time, so it always seems superficial and clichΓ©d. Oops, how did I forget, the gift of jewelry is to lock in time and memory, if you can integrate these into the jewelry, you will definitely get everyone's favor. β
Gu Chen smiled lightly, and the hand holding her slowly tightened.
"Zhonghai is my friend, in fact, you don't have to work so hard. You hand in this design draft, and you save them so much time and work, and they are very happy. β
Feeling Gu Chen's hot embrace, An Xiaoran's face was slightly red: "I know that this is just a simple list, but it means a lot to me." I want to let them see the true strength of T&G through my own efforts. β
Looking at the way she clenched her little fists, Gu Chen felt that she was even cuter than the marshmallow in her hand.
However, his doting smile faded from his face.
Years of training have allowed him to keenly feel the abnormalities around him.
Someone, approaching him. Not by chance, but deliberately close!
Gu Chen immediately became vigilant, he thought of the force that had always been against him recently, on the way here, he was bent on finding An Xiaoran and Du Ziteng, so he neglected to take precautions around him. It seems that they have been following him since the company.
What to do......
Kill him like he assassinated Shao Nancheng?
At this time, they were already almost at Du Ziteng's position, and the other party was faster than them, and they were about to reach Gu Chen's side. Gu Chen hugged An Xiaoran, quickened his pace, and soon moved to Du Ziteng's side.
Du Ziteng was not aware of the danger in front of him, "You two are too abrasive, and you are not in a hurry to cultivate your feelings at this time, is it good to take care of the emotions of my single dog." β
"Don't talk nonsense, there are too many people!"
"I saw it all, you two hug so tightly, isn't it hot?"
Du Ziteng smiled evilly at An Xiaoran.
"I ......" An Xiaoran's face turned red, "Why should I explain to you!"
Holding on to the railing of the bridge, he didn't want to have any boring conversations with Du Ziteng.
Du Ziteng was amused by her appearance, and he began to understand why Gu Chen was only favored by An Xiaoran, a little girl.
Gu Chen patted Du Ziteng's shoulder, leaned into his ear and said quickly, "You take Xiao Ran back." β
Under the noisy sound and deafening sound of fireworks, Du Ziteng didn't hear Gu Chen's words clearly at all.
"What?"
"I said, take Xiao Ran back, right away!"
"Why, the fireworks show has only just begun, and it's still a long time coming. β
Gu Chen grabbed Du Ziteng's collar and dragged him down the steps: "Hurry up!"
Gu Chen's serious expression and condensed eyes made Du Ziteng immediately restrain his playfulness. His position was relatively high, and he could see far away, and after glancing at Gu Chen's back, Du Ziteng immediately saw the clue.
He never thought that in such a remote place, he would encounter that unknown force, it seems that the other party has the same idea as them, they think that more people are safe, and the other party wants to take advantage of the chaos.
An Xiaoran didn't understand why the two of them suddenly changed their faces, "What's wrong?"
Du Ziteng grabbed An Xiaoran tightly and said with a smile: "It's nothing, let me tell you, Gu Chen has a lot of problems." He definitely can't stand the crowds here, so we might as well go out and wait for him. β
An Xiaoran found inspiration, but she didn't want to be interrupted so quickly: "But, I haven't seen enough." β
"There will be a chance in the future, next time, I will bring you alone, without this piece of wood. β
An Xiaoran also wanted to turn around and ask Gu Chen, if she could stay longer, but Gu Chen suddenly let go of her and squeezed in the opposite direction of the crowd.
"Gu Chen, where are you going!
But no matter how she shouted, Gu Chen didn't seem to hear it until she disappeared into the crowd.
"How did he go......
An Xiaoran wanted to chase after her, but Du Ziteng simply hugged her, and the softness on her chest fell on her arm, making Du Ziteng's body stiffen. However, now is not the time to think about it, Gu Chen rarely has such an expression, it is not clear who the other party is, it is certain that if they don't leave, there will definitely be ** annoyance.
"Xiao Dye, leave him alone, you follow me, don't get separated. β
An Xiaoran was like this, inexplicably, under the protection of Du Ziteng, slowly moved along the railing of the bridge in the direction of the exit.
