Ling Zhanchi closed the door as lightly as possible, sat down in the dark living room, simply ripped off the already loose tie, and half lay on the sofa, rubbing his temples, not wanting to move, this was not the latest time he came home, but the most tired.

In the past half month, his search radius has tripled, and when the so-called "hope" is nothing else, he knows that it is doomed or dashed...... There is no backlash in his dictionary, if it is hard, at most a quarter, harsh and cruel, but it is indeed reality!

Aunt Ling put on a coat, opened the door, there seemed to be no movement in the darkness, pressed on a wall lamp in the living room, and Ling Zhanchi immediately sat up straight.

"Why are you up?" Ling Zhanchi tried his best to hide his tiredness, "Is it that you can't sleep at night?"

"Shhhhh......h ”

"Why didn't she go back?" Ling Zhanchi was a little surprised, since Gu Xiyan established a relationship with him, he no longer stayed here, even if he stayed overnight in the past, he was in Aunt Ling's house, what was the situation today? He actually lay on his bed "blatantly", this cowardice was really unexpected.

"We talked a little more, but it was too late, so we didn't let her go back. Aunt Ling sat down opposite Ling Zhanchi, smiling rather than smiling, "Actually, it's been like a family for a long time, and you're still pretending to be surprised, haven't you thought about this a long time ago?"

"Mom, can you be a little more subtle...... Ling Zhanchi said lightly "refute" while looking at the bedroom again.

"As long as you can help your son, you will always spare no effort to be a mother," Aunt Ling looked at Ling Zhanchi thoughtfully, "So, no matter what happens, you can't hide it from me." ”

"......" Ling Zhanchi's gaze stopped on Aunt Ling's face, he could hide Gu Xiyan, but he couldn't escape his mother's eyes.

"It's hard enough to hide from Xixi, I'm here, you don't have to. Aunt Ling said and stood up and took out a real estate certificate from the drawer, "I don't live in City A now, and the house is not of much use, so it is better to sell it, maybe it can last a few more days." ”

"No......" Ling Zhanchi refused without hesitation, "I won't hide it from you, the company is a little difficult during this time, but it will not come to this point, you can take this away, I said it at the beginning, it is for you to provide for the elderly, and you can't move anything!"

"Oh, you stupid boy, you use it first, I'm still waiting for you to buy me a better one!" Aunt Ling forced the real estate certificate into Ling Zhanchi's arms, "What do you usually tell me about this time and that time, your head looks more effective than anyone else, how can you be stubborn when it comes to serious things?"

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this," Ling Zhanchi took the real estate certificate, looked at it over and over, and handed it to Aunt Ling again, "This is the first house I bought, it was the best real estate in City A at that time, and it was bought for you, I am really reluctant! If you want to move, you don't want to move it." ”

"I know you can do it," Aunt Ling sighed and stood up, "I don't like Mom's little thing." ”

"What do you say?" Ling Zhanchi hurriedly stood up and hugged Aunt Ling's shoulder, "It's not like you haven't seen this situation, how many times have I been back and forth, and in the end, isn't there nothing wrong?" ”

"Since you have the idea of moving the house, it means that the matter is not small, and if I am worried and worried, you can pass, I am happy to worry. The more Ling Zhanchi understated, the more worried Aunt Ling became.

"Oh, I was wrong, I used the wrong words just now, and I can't stand your scrutiny," Ling Zhanchi said and pushed Aunt Ling to the door of her room, "If you really help me, I will go to sleep obediently." ”

Gu Xiyan smelled the familiar smell of tobacco, a corner of the thin quilt was torn apart, and Ling Zhanchi lay down gently beside her. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned sideways and drilled into Ling Zhanchi's chest, so that his breathing was a little unsmooth.

"What's wrong?" Ling Zhanchi naturally hugged Gu Xiyan into his arms, and his bare arm felt the coldness on the pillow, "Dreaming?"

Gu Xiyan arched her head into Ling Zhanchi's arms, did not speak, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and soon soaked through Ling Zhanchi's pajamas.

As soon as Ling Zhanchi raised his hand and turned on the light, Gu Xiyan grabbed Ling Zhanchi's clothes and didn't let go, squirming his nose and refusing to look up, "Well, it's a dream." ”

Hearing that Gu Xiyan still knew what to say, Ling Zhanchi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Gu Xiyan's ear with his right hand, saw the tear stains on his face, and wiped the back of his palm on Gu Xiyan's face, "It's probably because the faucet hasn't been turned off today......

"I hate ......," Gu Xiyan put his head back on Ling Zhanchi's chest, "Don't turn off the lights yet." ”

"So impatient?" Although Ling Zhanchi turned off the light in his hand, he continued to joke in his mouth.

"Can't you be serious?" Gu Xiyan slapped Ling Zhanchi's body, angry and annoyed, God knows how worried she was about him every day, he could still make jokes!

"What did you dream about just now, crying like that?" Ling Zhanchi lay down again, faced Gu Xiyan face to face, and asked seriously.

Gu Xiyan was stunned, she listened to what he and Aunt Ling said just now, and her heart was completely blocked, "I...... Forgot. ”

"You......" Ling Zhanchi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

"It's very confused, right?" Gu Xiyan propped up his body with his hands and looked at Ling Zhanchi from top to bottom, he was really a man who would make people fascinated.

"I just like your confusion. Ling Zhanchi narrowed his eyes as he spoke, Gu Xiyan's voice was always soft and glutinous, so comfortable that it made people want to sleep.

"At this time, if there is a rich daughter with thousands of family wealth, crying and shouting for you to marry her......" Gu Xiyan's fingertips brushed Ling Zhanchi's eyelashes.

"No play, don't even think about it. Ling Zhanchi reopened his eyes and looked at Gu Xiyan's dark eyes, "Anyway, no matter who comes, you won't be able to go anywhere." ”

Gu Xiyan was a little flustered by Ling Zhanchi's staring, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"What's wrong with you today?" Ling Zhanchi was still staring at Gu Xiyan tightly, such an uncertain Gu Xiyan, he had seen it, but those were the last things he wanted to see Gu Xiyan, "What are you thinking about in your head?"

"That's it, that's it," Gu Xiyan began to stammer, "Professor Zhao said, there is an opportunity to go abroad for exchanges, ask me if I want to go......"

In fact, when Professor Zhao talked about this matter, Gu Xiyan refused, Ling Zhanchi is now in a special period, no matter whether he is good or bad, he must be by his side, so she didn't say a word in front of Ling Zhanchi.

But just now, when Ling Zhanchi and Aunt Ling pushed back and forth for the real estate certificate, I don't know what happened, Liu Mingsheng's suggestion "suddenly" came out again, and what made her even more frightened was that she seemed to feel that the temptation was getting bigger and bigger!

"Good thing, why don't you go?" Ling Zhanchi smiled, "Reluctant to me......?"

"You don't even ask me, where are you going, how long?" Gu Xiyan looked stunned, "I was confused just now, why am I so relieved?"

"So where are you going? How long have you been? No matter where you go or how long you have been, it's always a good thing to follow Professor Zhao for a long time and make up for your head by the way. Ling Zhanchi asked very cooperatively, it was okay for Gu Xiyan to go out for a while, he didn't have so many scruples.

"Go to Ouyang Yichen's school, about half a semester, those who are more capable than me are more active than me, there are more candidates, and besides, my English is not very good, and I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to accompany you!" Gu Xiyan ignored Ling Zhanchi's "teasing" in a hurry.

"Do you still want to graduate?" Ling Zhanchi asked with a sigh, "I'm afraid Professor Zhao will be very angry with your unenlightened head this time." ”

"Why don't you open your mind?" Gu Xiyan looked confused, how could he accompany him, he was still not happy?

"The academic atmosphere of your school is obvious to all, and the fierce competition is also obvious to all, and it is not easy for Professor Zhao to fight for an opportunity, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, which tutor does not want his students to make achievements? You just say it casually, and you can pick it up casually, and if you pick up the cheap, at least it will make it difficult for Professor Zhao to ride a tiger, think about it, it is your mentor......" Ling Zhanchi looked at Gu Xiyan's flickering expression, knowing that he had said Gu Xiyan's dead end.

Gu Xiyan opened her mouth and had nothing to say, "When you say it, why do you feel that the situation is a little serious?"

"I'm just talking about it in a small way, to put it in a big way, the standards that your school evaluates each department every year are not decorations, you are very clear about how strict the hard conditions are, you push the quota, naturally there are other people to go, but that is not necessarily your department, what does this matter? From reputation to interests, from tutors to you, which one is not affected a little?" Ling Zhanchi seemed to be more and more energetic, "Whether Professor Yu Zhao or you, Yu public or private, do you feel that the previous considerations are more arbitrary?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Xiyan looked confused, "So ......"

"So, hurry up, I'll tell Professor Zhao tomorrow, hey, what a stupid daughter-in-law!" Ling Zhanchi pulled Gu Xiyan down, "Also, you little brain, you have to save a little use, don't bother thinking about my affairs all day long, I'll be honest with you, it's not as good as I expected, but it's not as bad as you think." ”

Gu Xiyan felt that in front of Ling Zhanchi, his whole body was stupid, all his composure turned into a rush in front of him, and none of his restlessness could escape his eyes, "Who is your daughter-in-law?"

"Sooner or later, yes!" Ling Zhanchi looked at Gu Xiyan, who had an arrogant face, pursed his mouth, "Sleep ......"

Gu Xiyan listened to Ling Zhanchi's slight snoring, looking at the dream and frowning, he never confided in her the slightest difficulty, let alone a trace of complaint, as always, the confidence made her feel at ease, and the dripping words made her feel worried, so far, she can only believe that all the efforts must be rewarded, all the positivity must be bright, and I hope that her companionship and warmth can support him to go further......
