Chapter 15: Waves
The weather is getting cooler, and it seems that autumn is slowly coming.
Although Su Qingwan's foot injury has not healed yet, it is no longer a problem to move around normally, but his movements may be a little slower.
Just after breakfast, Zhang's mother shouted that she was going to clean up today, and she was sending people to clean up everywhere. Chunsheng went upstairs and collected a few pieces of clothes, and planned to take them down and wash them. "Miss, this embroidered plain cheongsam must look good when you wear it!" Chunsheng happily raised the clothes in his hand and showed them to Su Qingwan.
"That one doesn't need to be washed, it was sent by Yun Xi yesterday." Su Qingwan looked up and smiled lightly, "She has to bring a few pieces every time she comes back, I see that the wardrobe is almost full." โ
Su Qingwan said and shook her head gently, she and Chunsheng didn't bring much change of clothes when they came to Shanghai, some time ago Yun Xi knew, not to say that she couldn't finish wearing more clothes, so she brought a few pieces every time she came, she refused more times, and it was not good to brush Yun Xi's kindness again, so they were all about the same size, which just saved a lot of money.
Chunsheng put away his clothes, turned his head and said to Su Qingwan, "Miss, the flowers in the garden downstairs are blooming, but they are beautiful." Su Qingwan's eyes lit up slightly, and he turned his head to look out the window, the leaves of the plane tree on the second floor window were shining all over, but the sun was really good today.
Su Qingjuan's heart couldn't help but feel comfortable, she slowly put away her books and got out of bed, and called Chunsheng who was about to go out, "I'll go with you." โ
Autumn in Shanghai is quiet and gentle, not as lively as Beiping.
Su Qingwan paced slowly along the garden, and Chunsheng followed quietly behind, not disturbing her. Gu Yuan's flower seeds are really not few, she saw one of them at a glance, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth. "Chunsheng, do you remember a poem I taught you to read before?"
There was no word behind her for a long time, and she didn't care. "When we meet, we don't say anything, a hibiscus is in the autumn rain."
At that time, she was reading Nalan Xingde's poem, and when she read this sentence, she was deeply immersed in it, thinking that it should be the careful thinking that she always had when she was young.
Su Qingwan straightened up slightly, stretched out his hand and reached the flower branch, but unexpectedly, he lost his center of gravity, and saw that the whole person was about to rush forward.
Su Qingwan was shocked, and suddenly felt a pair of hands quickly stretched out from behind her to support her waist and arms, because of the inertia, she couldn't help but fall back a few points, and it was hitting a pair of warm chests.
Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment, the person behind him was not Chunsheng.
But now she is completely held in her arms.
"Are you hurt? But the foot is broken again? โ
A deep voice sounded in her ears almost instantly, with seven doubts and three points of anxiety.
Su Qingwan's body stiffened slightly, turned around and gently broke free of his embrace, and the smile did not reach the corner of his lips, "Thank you, Second Master, I'm fine." โ
Gu Shaoting snorted, his face was flat, and he didn't seem to care about her embarrassment, "Your foot injury is just right, be careful in everything." โ
"Yes, the second master is ...... today Isn't it busy? โ
Su Qingwan lowered her head and asked softly.
"Busy."
He only replied one word, and he didn't plan to say any more, there was no one else around, Su Qingwan felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little tense, and she hurriedly asked. "Spring gives birth to her ......"
Gu Shaoting calmly brushed the dust on the Buddha's sleeve, and his tone was brisk, "She was pulled away by Qiu Shi's kid, and the two of them have been getting close recently, but they quarrel non-stop as soon as they meet, which is really wrong." โ
Su Qingwan was infected by his relaxed tone, and pursed her lips and laughed after hearing this, "Chunsheng, this girl has not been in contact with many boys since she was a child, probably because she thinks Qiu Shi is interesting." โ
She said and looked up at him unconsciously, and there was a smile in her eyes that she had time to retract, and it was reflected directly in his eyes, Gu Shaoting stared at her for a while before speaking. "It's hard to say about feelings."
Su Qingwan stiffened the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly.
"It's been a long time since I've been out, it's time to go back to my room."
"I'll send you." Gu Shaoting walked to her side and supported her arm with both hands.
She turned her head to look at his calm face, and knew that it was useless to talk more, so she had to let him help her.
As he was walking slowly, a bright and sharp female voice suddenly hit his ears from the front.
"Yo, it's really strange, when did the dignified Second Master Gu have such good patience. This is going to make outsiders look at it, and they can't be shocked to drop their jaws. โ
Su Qingwan turned her head to look, and saw a woman standing not far away, wearing a dark red cheongsam with a layer of tulle shawl, her long black and soft hair draped over her shoulders, her facial features were very beautiful, and the scenery was much brighter when she stood there, but she didn't know how long she had been standing.
Gu Shaoting frowned slightly when she saw the person coming, and her eyes swept towards the people who were standing aside with her.
The man's eyes when he touched him couldn't help but tremble and tremble. "II...... Second master, I really can't stop it, Miss Li has to break in without waiting for the report......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman, and her tone was full of coldness.
"What, when did Gu Yuan change the rules? Now even if I come in, do you have to report it first? โ
Gu Shaoting's eyes were slightly gloomy. "The wind is clear."
"The second master is young and promising, he is busy with official business, and he can't even spare time for a meal, so Fengqing can only find it himself." Li Fengqing sneered on his face, turned his eyes to look at Su Qingwan beside him, and looked up and down before asking.
"This young lady is ......"
Su Qingwan had no choice but to look up and nod slightly, "Hello Miss Li, I'm Su Qingwan." After speaking, he turned his head and gently signaled to Gu Shaoting, "I'll go back first." โ
As soon as he turned around and took two steps, Li Fengqing's unbelievable voice came from behind him. "You live in this Gu Garden?"
Su Qingwan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he really didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two, so he immediately turned around to explain. "It's Miss Yunxi......"
Li Fengqing didn't listen to her, his eyes seemed to hide a sharp blade and shot straight at her.
"Gu Yuan, it's not just any woman who can enter."
Gu Shaoting finally became angry, and the lower his voice became, "Have you made enough trouble?" โ
Li Fengqing replied with a stubborn face. "Doesn't the second master like me to make trouble when he is young?"
Gu Shaoting looked at her quietly. "Miss Su is a guest of Gu Yuan."
Li Fengqing sneered, his tone was slow and soft, and there was a needle hidden in the cotton. "Guests? That's my offense, I thought it was the second master's confidante. โ
Gu Shaoting's voice was flat and waveless, and his face sank like water.
"Li Fengqing."
Su Qingwan sighed and turned away silently.
She had no intention of witnessing her wolf bรจi, and there was never a right or wrong thing about feelings. And under her sharp and stubborn appearance, I am afraid that she is a sincere heart that is more fragile and vulnerable than ordinary people.
Li Fengqing endured the sourness in his heart and finally relented.
โโฆโฆ I went abroad for three months, and the second master didn't call me? โ
Gu Shaoting raised his eyes lightly, and his words were cold. "Why did I call you?"
Li Fengqing's eyes trembled and blurted out. "Because...... Didn't Uncle Gu tell you? We are two ......"
"I refused."
He said it so lightly, Li Fengqing was a little stunned, she stayed for a while and finally found her voice, "Why?" The moment he asked, he seemed to have figured it out, but he was even more unwilling. Just because of that woman just now?! โ
Gu Shaoting turned around and left, unwilling to say any more.
"Fengqing, let's talk about this matter later, and I'll ask the driver to send you back."
The noon sun shone brightly, Li Fengqing was like falling into an ice cellar, she stood in place for a long time, and a trace of hatred suddenly flashed in her eyes.
