37. Chapter XXXVII
It was already late at night, but the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the lightning and thunder were roaring outside the window.
As soon as Gu Yan's fingers loosened slightly, Fen Qiao's head hurt again. Gu Yan never let go.
In fact, Gu Yan's love all day was not very good, but what he was thinking about has always been impossible for others to guess.
After the early death of his biological mother, he rarely saw his father again, his sister was taken back to his mother's house in the south, and regarded him as an old enemy for the inheritance, Gu Yan's family relationship is extremely thin, and only this grandfather raised him to grow up, but now, this towering tree collapsed in front of him.
Even though he already has the ability to support the family, there is a little unspeakable trepidation in his heart, which is not a question of his own ability, but the frustration of a loved one who has passed away and will never see each other.
Fen Qiao lay with his back to him, his long black hair scattered on the sofa. Gu Yan could see a small shadow hanging down her long eyelashes, and her eyebrows frowned slightly uneasily.
"Gu Yan." Fen Qiao suddenly spoke.
"What?" Gu Yan slowed down the strength of his hand so that he could hear her clearly.
"Do we have to move back to the old house?" Fen Qiao unconsciously opened his eyes and cautiously tried to do so.
"Isn't the old house bad?"
"No......" Fen Qiao didn't know how to describe the feeling, "that's too big...".
It's too far away from Gu Yan.
Originally, I could only see Gu Yan in the morning and evening every day, but after moving to the old house, everyone had a courtyard, and they were so far apart, whether I could see him every day was one thing.
"I prefer it here." Fen Qiao made a conclusion.
Gu Yan thought deeply, the interior of the Kunlun apartment is decorated and furnished according to the western-style buildings in Diancheng, compared with the solemn atmosphere of the Gu family's deep mansion compound, the apartment here does make Fen Qiao feel more close.
"Is it okay if you don't move?" Fen Qiao didn't know when he turned his head, looked nervously at Gu Yan's eyes, and unconsciously grabbed the corner of Gu Yan's clothes with his hand.
In fact, Gu Yan knows very well. To move or not to move is not as simple as Fen Qiao imagined. The Gu family's old mansion has been a symbol of power throughout the ages, and only the head of the family can live in the mansion. Once it's vacant, there's no guarantee that other people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Fen Qiao's eyes were as beautiful as obsidian, with a prayer, like a puddle of autumn water.
"Gu Yan..." The voice was very low, but it was also clearly handed to Gu Yan's ear.
Those big wet eyes - it's terrible.
Gu Yan tilted his head and couldn't bear to look at it.
Fen Qiao saw Gu Yan tilt his head, only thinking that he had refused, he snorted lightly, sullen, and turned around.
"Just move."
Like a child who is angry after being rejected.
Fen Qiao's voice complaining was very small, and she probably thought that Gu Yan didn't hear it.
Gu Yan somehow felt a little funny. In the past, no one dared to question the decisions he made in front of him, but Fen Qiao not only expressed that she didn't like it, but also used coquettish methods to make him change his mind, and dared to hum in front of him if he didn't succeed.
Gu Yan unexpectedly didn't feel angry, but a little funny.
"Then it's really moving." Gu Yanqiang held back a smile and straightened his face.
Fen Qiao was anxious when he heard this, and turned around and called, "Gu Yan..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
She saw that Gu Yan's eyes were full of smiles.
Gu Yan lied to her. This realization made Fen Qiao's eyes suddenly light up, and hope ignited in his heart: "We will continue to live here, right, Gu Yan?" β
"Yes."
Fen Qiao didn't know how to express her excitement, and when she saw Gu Yan move her upper body, she simply hooked Gu Yan's neck with both hands and gave him a hug suddenly.
"Gu Yan, you're so good..."
This hug came unexpectedly, Gu Yan didn't have time to react, and he already smelled the fragrance of the girl on his nose, with a little milky smell. Gu Yan stiffened for a while before he spoke: "Most of the time I live in an apartment, but occasionally I have to go back to live for a few days." β
The voice is serious.
"Yes." Fen Qiao simply responded with a smile.
As long as you don't move from here, anything is fine.
But with a matter on his mind, Fen Qiao suddenly felt that his head didn't seem to hurt so much, and his whole body was relaxed.
She yawned quietly and began to fall asleep.
When Gu Yan stopped the massage in his hand again, Fen Qiao was already sitting and asleep, this time he slept with comfortable eyebrows and eyes, and his head was little by little, which was extremely sweet. Gu Yan called lightly twice, but he didn't wake anyone up. It looks like the head doesn't hurt anymore.
Gu Yan laughed, put down his hand, and moved his knuckles. That hand was already sore and stiff from the long massage.
The wall clock on the wall struck past one o'clock in the morning, and the atmosphere that should have been sad and sad in the middle of the night was sweetened by the little girl who fell asleep beside her.
Gu Yan looked around.
He bought the apartment when he was an adult and lived here for many years. However, it was only after Fenqiao moved in that it was filled with fireworks.
The apartment was littered with traces left by another person.
This was almost unimaginable for Gu Yan beforeβhe just allowed another person to intrude into his life recklessly.
β¦β¦
There was morning class on Monday morning, but Fen Qiao rarely woke up late.
When I went downstairs, there were still 40 minutes before class, and it was at least half an hour's drive from the apartment to the school. Fen Qiao packed his bag, said hello to Gu Yan, who was watching the news on the sofa, and hurriedly left the elevator.
"Miss Fenqiao, have breakfast!" Zhang Yi had just come out of the kitchen, and when she saw that Fen Qiao was leaving, she hurriedly called.
Fen Qiao paused in embarrassment, "I have class this morning, I'm almost late, I don't have time to eat......"
"Eat first." A voice came from behind him.
Fen Qiao looked back and saw that Gu Yan had already gotten up from the sofa, "I'll send you to school after eating." β
Gu Yan's formal clothes were neat, no folds could be seen, and the well-cut suit accentuated his tall and straight figure. This outfit is clearly going to work.
Zhang Yi also hurriedly set up Fenqiao's breakfast.
Seeing this, Fen Qiao hesitated: "I can go and eat by myself when I get to school." β
"Yes, you had lunch then." Gu Yan took time to tell the facts.
Fen Qiao was so blocked that he couldn't speak, so he had to walk back to the table, put down his schoolbag, and started eating breakfast. Why does she always feel that Gu Yan is staring at her eating, like staring at a kindergarten child?
I almost took a small bowl and spoon and followed the buttocks.
For breakfast, we had millet pumpkin porridge and egg waffles. Although Fen Qiao felt that he was already very fast, the breakfast portions were too much.
Fen Qiao put down her chopsticks, raised her head, and met Gu Yan's eyes supervising her.
The look in his eyes told her: Finish eating.
Fen Qiao had to bow his head again and honestly eat the rest of the bowl.
β¦β¦
Except for the time in the college entrance examination in Diancheng, this seems to be the second time that Fen Qiao has taken the car driven by Gu Yan himself.
The car was a black Maybach, which was the same as the last time I drove in Diancheng, but it was not the same car. The whole car is luxurious and restrained, very low-key.
The imperial capital is at the rush hour of work, the traffic is crowded, and the Maybach body is not small, but under the driving of Gu Yan, it walks in the traffic with ease. In less than twenty minutes, Gu Yan's car had already stopped outside the east gate of Chongwen.
Fen Qiao looked at her watch, it was less than ten minutes before class at this time, and when she picked up her schoolbag and was about to get out of the car and run, she found that Gu Yan had not unlocked the car door.
"Gu Yan?" Fen Qiao turned around in confusion, and Gu Yan continued to drive the car to the school.
"Chongwen doesn't allow foreign vehicles...... Fen Qiao didn't finish speaking, and the electric retractable door controlled by the doorman had already opened by itself.
"I remember being introduced at the school meeting, and I was the director of the Chongwen School Association." Gu Yan explained, "I thought you remembered, Fen Qiao. β
Hearing Gu Yan say this, Fen Qiao suddenly felt guilty. But on the day of the school meeting, she was surprised when she saw Gu Yan, where did she remember what the principal introduced?
Fen Qiao suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "Let me down, you will be seen by my classmates if you take me to school." β
Gu Yan is a well-known alumnus of Chongwen, not to mention that he also gave an opening speech for this class of freshmen, and few Chongwen alumni can't recognize him.
"Fen Qiao," Gu Yan paused, "It's at least an eight-minute drive from the east gate to the public teaching building where you are taking classes, do you think you can outrun the car and get there before class?" β
Actually, it's okay to be late for college, at least in the ordinary person's opinion.
But Fen Qiao is different, she likes to hide herself in the crowd, and she doesn't like the attention of others, let alone standing at the door and shouting a report in front of everyone when she is late.
After weighing it up, she silently shut her mouth.
Gu Yan was not wrong at all, Fen Qiao stared at the watch, from the east gate to the parking lot where he parked the car in the public teaching building, the second hand pointed to twelve, a full eight minutes.
But this time, Fen Qiao didn't have time to sigh at Gu Yan's accurate calculation ability, so he took his schoolbag and got out of the car.
"Cellphoneβ"
didn't take two steps, Gu Yan reminded behind him.
Fenqiao had to turn around and get his phone.
It's just that this time I turned around again, but I saw Luo Xinxin, Qiao Mang, and Pan Di walking towards the teaching building together, Luo Xinxin saw Fen Qiao and waved to her.
It was only two minutes before the start of class, and there was almost no one in the public building, and the students were already sitting in the classrooms.
The three of them would not have been late, but Chongwen's dormitory building was so old that the lock of the broken wooden door of the dormitory of 301 was suddenly broken, and several people were locked in the dormitory when they got up in the morning.
Luo Xinxin would not have been locked up, but she didn't die and returned to school on Sunday night.
As a result, the three of them were trapped until the end of the class, and only then waited for the locksmith to come.
This night, I took a picture with Fen Qiao, who had just gotten out of the car.
Gu Yan was already reversing and preparing to drive away. Through the front windshield of the window, the three of them could clearly see Gu Yan's face in the driver's seat.
The Maybach was gone, and Luo Xinxin reacted in hindsight: "Fenqiao...... Do you know Senior Brother Gu Yan? β
Fen Qiao didn't expect the three of them to see Gu Yan clearly, so he had to nod and replied, "Yes." β
In the next second, Luo Xinxin almost jumped up with joy, "My God, I can still see Senior Brother Gu Yan so closely in my lifetime," Luo Xinxin tiptoed and put his arm around Fen Qiao's shoulder, "I still know the same person as Senior Brother Gu Yan...... Happiness came too suddenly. β
Pan Di couldn't help but interject: "Fen Qiao, how did you know Senior Brother Gu Yan?" β
Fen Qiao didn't want to say this, so he replied succinctly: "He's my father's friend." β
"Your dad's friend?" Pandee was shocked, "Why have I never heard you say it before, Fen Qiao, your father is so powerful!" β
Fen Qiao really didn't want to say any more, "My dad has passed away. β
As soon as these words came out, Pandey was also stunned.
She felt that she should say something to appease Fen Qiao, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice behind her.
"Can you go faster? It's going to be late. β
The voice was cold. It was Qiao Mang, a scholar who had been following the three of them, who spoke.
Pandey didn't ask any more questions, and the four of them just ran to the classroom.
Fen Qiao was suddenly a little grateful to Qiao Mang, she thought that this silent roommate was also quite cute.
