Chapter 255: Childhood Friends

"Knowing grandpa, I will try my best to get Xiao Ran to marry me. ”

Gu Chen suddenly hugged An Xiaoran and said with an oath.

Several old people were coaxed by him very happily: "Look at this young man, how handsome he looks, and he can speak, Xiao Ran, you have to take a good grasp of it, don't let people run away." ”

"No, it's because I like Xiao Ran, she won't let me go, I won't go. ”

An Xiaoran looked at Gu Chen and found that his expression was very serious, as if he was swearing to others.

As a result, Gu Chen, who was so well-behaved and sensible, ushered in the unanimous praise of the elders.

"It turns out that you are so good at pleasing the elders. On the way home, An Xiaoran took Gu Chen's hand: "Why didn't I see it before." ”

She was also worried that her mother would know about her relationship with Gu Chen and would have a grudge against Gu Chen, but it seemed that Gu Chen and her mother got along well. Back in his hometown, Gu Chen instantly mingled with the old people in the village, and he was simply an 'elder killer'.

"Why, do you think what I said to them was a deliberate attempt to curry favor with them?"

"Isn't it?"

Gu Chen stood still, pulled An Xiaoran's arm, and let her face her.

"It's not. ”

He's unequivocal.

"There are many women who approach me, but you are the only one who can make me interested in investigating. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were different, and I wanted to get to know you at all costs. In the past, I only thought that it was your strength that moved me, but now I know that it is not like this, it is fate. Xiao Ran, in fact, it was not our first meeting at the hotel, but ......"

"Xiao Ran?"

Suddenly, a hearty voice interrupted what Gu Chen was about to say.

Gu Chen and An Xiaoran turned their heads at the same time, and saw a tall and handsome man coming out of the dark alley: "Is it really you......?"

An Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and didn't remember who this person was for a while.

"I'm Chen Dong, Chen Dong who lives next door to Grandpa Lin. ”

Chen Dong approached, and An Xiaoran found a little bit of his childhood shadow on his face. At that time, he was much fatter than he is now, his face did not grow, and he had a runny nose all day long, dirty, unlike now......

"Chen Dong?!" An Xiaoran said in surprise: "Why don't you have snot!"

Chen Dong was embarrassed for a moment, in the end, he was a person who worked in the government, and he returned to normal in an instant: "That was all when I was a child, I am an adult now, how can I still have a runny nose." ”

An Xiaoran scratched her head in embarrassment, how could she ask such a stupid question, it's just that Chen Dong left the deepest impression on her was the two snot that could never be wiped clean.

"I heard my mother say that you are back, so I came back from the county seat to see you, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are beautiful again. ”

An Xiaoran said: "Yes, I came back to live for a while before, but at that time you were in graduate school and didn't go home, so I didn't see you." ”

"I'm writing a thesis, I don't come back, I miss the ......"

Speaking of missing out, a flash of regret flashed in Chen Dong's eyes. If he comes back at that time, will he be able to see the most helpless An Xiaoran, and will he be able to have a different story with her.

"Baby, don't you want to introduce me?"

Gu Chen, who was left to dry, quit, this Chen Dong's eyes were too obvious, teasing his girlfriend in front of him...... Quite bold!

An Xiaoran immediately said: "This is Chen Dong, Aunt Xiao's son, and my grandfather's neighbor." When I was young, I came to my grandfather's house and often played with him. Chen Dong, this is Gu Chen, my boyfriend. ”

Chen Dong glanced at Gu Chen and continued: "Have you seen other people? everyone still remembers you, there have been several times when they have gathered, saying that you are a princess, and there are even fewer opportunities to meet us......

"Haven't I come back, and besides, I'm not a princess......"

"Yes, it's good to be back, it's just summer vacation, most of them are teaching in school, now they have time, why don't I find a chance, let's go out for dinner and sing a song?"

An Xiaoran nodded: "Okay!" But his eyes were peeking at Gu Chen, Chen Dong didn't take Gu Chen in his eyes, and deliberately ignored him, he wouldn't be angry.

"It's not too early, so we'll go back first. ”

An Xiaoran's hand around Gu Chen's arm tightened, and Chen Dong pretended not to see: "Let's go together." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Dong laughed, raised his hand, and gently flicked An Xiaoran's skull: "Silly, we live next door, have you forgotten?"

Oops, this action is so ambiguous, An Xiaoran suddenly felt that the bodies of the people around her were tense. Gu Chen's fist, she had seen it, if she made a move, don't cripple Chen Dong.

Chen Dong wanted to go to the other side of An Xiaoran, but An Xiaoran automatically kept his distance from him and moved Gu Chen to the middle. Chen Donggang talked about the memories of playing marbles when he was a child, and when he turned his head, he found that it was not An Xiaoran next to him, but Gu Chen.

No one answered his words, the scene was a little embarrassing, Gu Chen smiled lightly: "Marbles, baby, you like the things that boys play with." ”

"Yes, yes......"

It's obviously a very sweet word, but now that it comes out of his mouth, why does it sound so infiltrating.

"But I don't play well, and I'm always despised by them. On several occasions, they didn't take me because I didn't play well. Is it Chen Dong, you are the first ...... to reject me?"

An Xiaoran worked hard to prove that she had a bad relationship with Chen Dong.

But Chen Dong didn't give face: "Children, they don't know how to express their feelings." I obviously like to play with you, so I want to show that I don't like it. If you are bullied, it proves that I like you. ”

A cold wind blew, and An Xiaoran was completely speechless.

This Chen Dong is pumping his brain, does he know what he is talking about. In this case, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, okay?

"You've locked me in the cellar, if my grandfather hadn't rescued me......"

"Do you remember this kind of thing, it seems that I left a deep impression on Xiao Ran. ”

Ahh

An Xiaoran's heart was full of sorrow.

"Actually...... Actually, it's not particularly profound......"

"I still remember that you liked to play at home, when all the children were dirty, and only you were wearing a princess dress like a little princess. Every time you become a unique princess, I will be a prince with a little sword made of wood to save you. Unexpectedly, you really became a princess later. ”

Chen Dong's hot gaze crossed Gu Chen and landed on An Xiaoran's face.

An Xiaoran immediately turned her head to the side, pretending not to hear anything.

Fortunately, along the way, Gu Chen was very gentlemanly and did not punch Chen Dong. Thankfully, their home arrived soon.

Standing in front of the door, An Xiaoran was relieved: "We're here, bye-bye." ”

Chen Dong said lightly: "Don't forget our agreement. ”

"Huh?"

An Xiaoran looked puzzled, what did she agree with him.

"Didn't you say okay, find a time to get together. I don't have much time left this time, so I'll go back tonight and contact you, and we'll tentatively see how tomorrow night will be. ”

An Xiaoran opened his mouth, and just wanted to say a tactful refusal, Chen Dong directly made a phone gesture: "That's it." ”

Then the wooden door slammed shut, leaving only her and Gu Chen, standing in the cold wind.

An Xiaoran looked at Gu Chen weakly, and explained helplessly: "Don't listen to Chen Dong's nonsense, he used to like to bully me, and I was made to cry by him every time, and I hated him very much." I don't know if he has a bad brain, and suddenly he said, I played the princess, but every time he asked me to go home and stay and be the princess in the castle waiting to be rescued, and then watch them play through the window, in fact, he didn't want to take me to play. ”

An Xiaoran's explanation, Gu Chen didn't listen to it much, he was more curious: "Why did he lock you in the vegetable cellar." ”

“……”

"Can't you say that?"

An Xiaoran sighed: "Bully me, because I don't know what the vegetable cellar does, he said to take me to see it, and then he locked me up for a prank." Fortunately, when it was time for dinner, my grandfather couldn't find me, and knew that I was going out with him, so I was forced to ask before I was released. I also heard my mother about this later, when I was young, I remember that it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, I cried for a while, and then fell asleep. My mother thought I had fainted and was so frightened that she took me to the hospital, which was a big sensation in the village at the time. ”

"It's not a prank. ”

Gu Chen's face was gloomy.

Seeing this, An Xiaoran added: "But he didn't have a good time, Aunt Xiao took him to his grandfather's house and hung him up and beat him in front of me." Later, he hated me for a long time because of this incident. ”

Gu Chen's expression softened a little.

But this Chen Dong, he wrote it down.

At night, An Xiaoran and Gu Chen did a few more exercises, and while Gu Chen was taking a bath, An Xiaoran found a box under the bed, opened it and saw that it was a photo album.

There are many black-and-white photos of my grandfather when he was young, a handsome teenager, high-spirited, and heroic. There are also many photos of my mother when she was a child, some in black and white, and some in color that are slightly blurred for a long time.

Then it's hers, as soon as An Xiaoran flipped through her photo, Gu Chen walked out with a bath towel.

"You don't wash?"

An Xiaoran turned over lazily and rolled herself up in the quilt, like a cocoon. "I don't like to move. ”

Seeing the photo album scattered by her, Gu Chen took the towel and sat on the edge of the bed while wiping: "What are you looking at?"

"The previous photos were all left by my grandfather. When I was a child, I played at my grandfather's house, and my grandfather took pictures of me. There are a lot of things that I don't have myself. ”

She happily flipped through it, her grandfather liked photography, and the equipment in his hand was the best of the year.

In the photo, An Xiaoran is eating, An Xiaoran is sleeping, and An Xiaoran is catching butterflies in the garden. When An Xiaoran was playing with his friends, his grandfather would also secretly take pictures.

An Xiaoran rummaged back and forth, and there were seven photo albums, all of which were hers.

At that time, my mother had a bad relationship with the family because she married her father, and my grandfather missed her very much, but for the sake of face, he could only see her once a year, so he took a lot of photos, washed them out, and kept them as a souvenir.
