In the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, Zhouzhuang Gu Garden.

After more than a few years of smoke and rain, Zhouzhuang, a wind and rain town, shows the charm and elegance of precipitation over the years. It is indeed very old, and even Gu Yuan, who has experienced the same years as Zhou Zhuang, has changed his owner for several generations.

The golden autumn sun shines through the dappled shadows of the trees all over the window, and just after noon, the study on the second floor of Gu Yuan is very quiet.

Zhou Yong hesitated at the door of the study for a moment, and then raised his hand and knocked lightly. It's not really loud, but it's still a bit abrupt in the overly quiet surroundings.

It took a long time for an answer to come out, and the voice was calm, powerful, and clean. "Come in. ”

Zhou Yong lifted his shoulders, straightened his military hat, lowered his head to open the door, and walked straight to the desk without squinting, his voice respectful.

"Second master, urgent text jiàn. ”

Gu Shaoting stopped writing, raised his hand to take the text, and replied to him directly without looking at it.

"Zhou Yong, I'm not going today. ”

"But the second master, it's been two days since the emergency report from southern Anhui was sent......

He just couldn't hold it back.

Gu Shaoting threw the Wen Jiàn in his hand on the table and raised his eyes to look at him, "You go, give you three days off, and let me be clean and clean." ”

Zhou Yong was rarely deflated, and he stood in place stupidly for a while, not knowing what to do.

A chuckle came from the other side, Gu Shaoting turned his face to look at the person who was sitting on the sofa reading in the corner, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were rarely crooked, and a pair of clear eyes with veins like water contained a smile to look at him fixedly, and even the curvature of the corners of her mouth was complete.

Gu Shaoting couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and got up and walked over in a good mood.

"What book is so good?"

Su Qingwan didn't restrain his smile, and when he saw him coming, he naturally moved to the side of the sofa, and his words were gentle.

"You always have to worry about what Adjutant Zhou does. ”

Gu Shaoting sat down beside her, raised his hand and unbuttoned his collar and raised his eyebrows to look at her.

"When did I embarrass him. ”

The warm breeze of the autumn afternoon blew through the window and gently blew from the other end of the desk, making her smile deeper. Gu Shaoting relaxed his body and leaned back on the sofa, feeling more and more that his decision just now was very wise.

Su Qingwan looked up at Zhou Yong's embarrassed expression, and turned his face to look at Gu Shaoting to try to persuade him.

"Really not going? Adjutant Zhou said that he was in a hurry, so he must be in a hurry. ”

Gu Shaoting didn't speak for a long time, quietly looked at Su Qingwan and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly remembered that they didn't seem to have lived together peacefully like this for a long time.

"Read. ”

The crisp and beautiful voice knocked into his heart in an instant, Gu Shaoting remained silent, raised his hand and gently rubbed the broken hair in her ear, and his voice was steady.

"I asked him to go, naturally because he knew the stakes. ”

Su Qingwan turned sideways to avoid his hand, was silent, and his face turned half red. Gu Shaoting was happy and didn't care, but he was a little dissatisfied with the person who had been stunned at the desk.

"Zhou Yong, is there anything else?"

Zhou Yi was stunned, subconsciously stood upright, and then looked at the expression on the face of the second master, thinking that this trip to the south was probably decided by him, so he lowered his head and silently packed up the text, and retreated.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he found Qiu Shi waiting outside the door.

"Sixth brother. ”

Qiu Shi lowered his voice and called him with a smile. Zhou Yi frowned, and carried him downstairs. Far away from the study, Qiu Shi began to make a fuss.

"Brother, don't be angry!"

Zhou Yong snorted coldly and didn't look at him.

"I even dare to listen to the corner of the second master, I think you are tight-skinned. ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly waved his hand, with a frightened expression, "Sixth brother, don't wronged me, I accidentally heard it when I was waiting for you outside the door!"

Zhou Yong ignored him and continued to walk forward. Qiu Shi chased after him with a smile and looked at him enviously.

"Sixth brother, you're okay, the second master actually gave you a holiday!"

Zhou Yong glanced at him, didn't bother to explain, and only muttered silently in his heart. I don't know who wants to take the holiday.

Walking with Qiu Shi to the gate of Gu Yuan, there was a car standing by in front of the door, Zhou Yong was about to bend over to get into the car, after thinking about it, he turned around and instructed Qiu Shi.

"There's nothing urgent in the past two days, so don't bother the second master. ”

Qiu Shiyi was stunned, "Huh?"

Zhou Yong raised his hand and patted him on the head, "You kid is too stupid, it's hard to teach!"

Qiu Shi stood in place with his forehead covered, watching the car slowly move away.

"Don't bother the second master, what does the sixth brother mean by this?"

Qiu Shi touched his head and thought about it.

I really remembered that he saw through the crack in the door just now that Miss Su was also in the room, could it be ......

Qiu Shi nodded, as if he understood something, and after understanding, he became a little proud. The sixth brother also underestimated him, and he could already see the second master's thoughts about Miss Su.

Qiu Shi moved his eyes left and right, turned around with a smile and walked into the house, and as he was walking, he raised his eyes and saw the familiar figure at the top of the stairs. He hurriedly ran over and pulled her arm out, explaining in a low voice as he pulled. "Chunsheng, you can't go upstairs now!"

Chunsheng was startled and complained about him while shaking off his hand.

"Qiu Shi, what are you doing!"

Qiu Shi booed several times and motioned for her to speak quietly. Chunsheng frowned, a little angry.

"Are you in trouble again?!"

Qiu Shi shook his head with a smile, there was really no way, so he simply dragged Chunsheng out of the door.

Haru was furious.

"Qiu Shi, don't expect me to forgive you this time!"

Qiu Shi was still very happy in his heart, but he didn't spare her.

"You girl is really stubborn. ”

After saying that, he was happy again, too, didn't he know it when he saw her for the first time. Qiu Shi put his hands on Chunsheng's shoulders and almost half-hugged her to the door.

"Let's go, the tenth master will take you to see good things. ”

Chun was angry and seemed to turn his head and say something, which made Qiu Shiha laugh.

The autumn leaves are scattered all over the ground, and it is already dusk. In the shadow of the tree, the figures of the two men grew farther and farther away until they were gone.
