When I opened my eyes again, the place around me was empty. If it weren't for the slightly sunken mattress reminding her that he had been here, April would have almost thought that what happened last night was just a dream of hers.

After getting up, she slowly moved to the closet room with shuffling steps. Despite being a guest room, the wardrobe room is the size of a whole wall, and it is filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes, and the labels are still there, obviously newly purchased. Even though it's winter, the heating is turned on everywhere in the house, so you don't feel the slightest chill at all.

She glanced at her clothes slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally picked out a black pleated skirt. Considering the wound on the calf, it is more convenient to wear a skirt, at least to change the dressing without pulling up the trouser leg.

The clothes are very close-fitting, whether it is the fit or size, it is very suitable and comfortable. April gently touched the skirt on her body, and the touch on her hand was silky smooth. She was stunned and looked up at herself in the mirror.

The facial features are still the same, maybe she slept well, the paleness on her face has faded a little, but it doesn't look ruddy. She stretched out her finger and touched her eyes, Grandma had told Xia Bai before that her eyes were the best, which raised her slightly mediocre facial features to a higher level. Her eyes were deep, and her dark eyelashes were long and curly, like eyeliner. It stands to reason that Apricot Eyes looks innocent and innocent, but maybe her eyes are too quiet and there is no trace of anger, and others look at her and subconsciously avoid her eyes.

Because, whether she is happy or angry, sad or happy, she is like a marionette, only touching the skin, if you look closely at her eyes, in fact, there is no change at all.

She habitually gets up early, but she didn't expect Gu Qingyan to get up earlier than her. Looking at someone sitting in the living room slowly eating breakfast, she hesitated, wondering if it would disturb him if it would be bothered by just passing like this. Just as he was thinking about whether to turn back, the other party's faint voice came from his ear, "Come here." ”

When April heard this, he slowly dragged his steps and walked over one small step at a time. Her wound was still very painful, and as long as her calf was a little harder, there would be a sharp pain in it. Seeing her limping, the man frowned slightly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It's much better." April quietly returned.

Gu Qingyan retracted her gaze and did not move, "Then let's have breakfast." ”

"Okay."

As soon as she sat down in her chair, she realized that there was already a lot of food in front of her, and she couldn't help but look sideways at him.

As if understanding her concerns, the man wiped his mouth calmly, and said nonchalantly, "Eat them all, I don't like to leave them behind." ”

It was exactly the same as when she first came here. Was it intentional? Deliberately let her eat so that she could get revenge on her? April silently digested this fact, hung her head, and whispered, "I'll eat them all." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan seemed to be very satisfied, and there was a smile on his solemn face, but when he set his eyes on April, the smile on his face was quietly taken away, "I'm going to the company, you stay at home and don't run around." ”

April nodded. In fact, even if he doesn't remind her, she won't run around, not to mention the injury on her leg, she has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to move around.

The man paid more attention to her, and when he saw her humble appearance, he was a little relieved. At this time, Chen's mother took his black suit and put it on him as usual, and the man stood quietly and let her put it on him. At the end of his eyes, he glanced at the woman who was silently drinking porridge, his body was stunned, and his heart suddenly felt a little itchy. When Chen's mother handed him a light gray striped tie, he suddenly said, "I don't want to tie a tie today." ”

"Yes, sir." Mother Chen respectfully took the tie back, and was about to put it back away, when Gu Qingyan stopped her, "Mother Chen, bring my pair of dark blue cufflinks." ”

"Okay." Chen's mother turned around and went to the cloakroom.

At this time, April was trying hard to swallow a xiaolongbao, but Gu Qingyan helped her clamp too much, and she struggled for so long, but she only moved one-third of the food. Her stomach was not very good, and she was hungry and full in her early years, and she hurt her stomach.

Now that breakfast is so greasy, she feels a little uncomfortable, but she doesn't dare to resist, for fear that the other party will be angry. She ate seriously, Gu Qingyan called her twice and didn't hear it, but she still noticed that the light around her was dimming, so she turned her head sluggishly, and happened to meet the man's somewhat gloomy face.

"Is it delicious?"

"Hmm." April nodded dumbly, the food in her mouth still not swallowed.

"Give me a cufflink." Gu Qingyan directly stretched out a hand in front of her, and seeing that her face was pale, he restrained his anger and added, "I can't do it alone." As he spoke, he gestured to a pair of chic square cufflinks on the table.

April swallowed the food in her mouth, and subconsciously rubbed her hands on the hem of her skirt, and when she thought that the clothes were not her own, she was a little at a loss, so she could only look up at each other with her head up.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little impatient when she saw that she didn't react for a long time.

He seems to like to be helped out, last time with a tie and this time with a cuff.

April lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I won't." ”

When the man heard this, he was stunned, and was a little silent for a while. After a while, he looked at April's hair whirlwind, slowed down his voice, and said in a magnetic and low voice: "I'll teach you." Look closely, I'll only teach you once. ”

"Okay." April's eyes widened and she held her breath a little nervously, for fear of missing the slightest detail. The man's movements deliberately slowed down, slowly progressing like a slow motion, in contrast to his slender and white fingers, light and skillful. After the demonstration, he flipped his fingers and quickly removed the cuffs again, which was many times faster than before.

April looked a little stunned, and it wasn't until the man stuffed the removed cufflinks into her hand that she came back to her senses.

His muffled question came from his ear: "Have you learned?" Somehow, his voice sounded a little gentle, with a hint of a smile.

"I'll give it a try." April pursed her lips.

Next, April tried many times before he had some signs of it. After all, it was the first time to learn, and she was born with her hands, and her movements were inevitably clumsy, and the more she got later, the more anxious she became, and her face slowly turned red. Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes and watched the woman's pale face slowly turn red, and one part of her heart became particularly soft.

This feeling was amazing, and he even opened his mouth to comfort her: "Don't worry, I still have a lot of time, take your time." ”

When it was finally buttoned up, April was sweating from his forehead.

Gu Qingyan tidied up the cuffs of his shirt, then looked back at April with a worried face, and suddenly smiled.

That smile was extremely pure, and it didn't come back to his senses for half a day.

"This time the deduction is barely strong, keep up the good work." He seemed to be in a good mood, walking with a tiger, and when his figure disappeared, she still didn't understand the meaning of his words. Is it to let her practice more?

After thinking about it, didn't he say that he couldn't buckle alone, why was he so skilled when he just taught her? She didn't want to think of anything she couldn't figure out, and looked at the rest of the food in the bowl, she sighed quietly and continued to gnaw silently.

After breakfast, she didn't know what to do, and seeing that Chen's mother was busy ironing her clothes, she kindly wanted to take it. Although she hurt her leg, her hand is still good, she wants to do what she can, and she doesn't want to live here for nothing.

When Chen's mother saw it, she refused: "Miss Lin, you are a guest invited by Mr., how can I be embarrassed to let you work, if Mr. knows, he will definitely dismiss me." ”

April was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't dare to mention that he wanted to help or anything like that. It's just that she didn't see Xia Bai all morning, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, so she asked Chen's mother: "Do you know where Xia Bai went?" I didn't even see her. ”

Before the words fell, Chen's mother stopped what she was doing and looked at her with a strange face, "Don't you know?" ”

"Huh?" April was a little dazed, "Is there anything I should know?" ”

"Miss Xia went back last night."

Doesn't Xia Bai live here? Aren't she and Gu Qingyan a couple? She went to sleep in her room yesterday, and took it for granted that Xia Bai would sleep in the same room with him, and never thought that she would go back to sleep. What's more, it was so late last night, how could Gu Qingyan rest assured that she would go back?

Although her mind was full of questions one after another, she didn't dare to ask more, and suddenly thought of something, she said thoughtfully: "Mother Chen, do you know if Mr. Gu has anything to ...... Special habits? ”

Mother Chen thought for a while and shook her head, "No." ”

"That's it...... Sleepwalking or something? ”

When Chen's mother heard this, she forgot about her very strangely, "I've been working here for five years, and I never knew that my husband had a problem with sleepwalking." ”

"Oh." April smiled awkwardly. Thinking about it carefully, Gu Qingyan was also sleeping when she was sleepwalking, and she didn't make any strange moves, and it was normal for Chen's mother not to know.

In the evening, when Chen's mother reported the situation during the April day to Gu Qingyan, she suddenly said with some hesitation: "Miss Lin basically didn't take half a step out of the room today, but after breakfast, she asked me a strange question. ”

"What's the problem?" The man raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Chen's mother spitting, there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Miss Lin asked me, does my husband have sleepwalking?"

"What...... What the? I didn't expect it to be such a question, Gu Qingyan was a little stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sir also thinks it's strange, I never knew that Mr. had any sleepwalking, and Miss Lin doesn't know where he heard it." Chen's mother said with a hint of reproach in her eyes.

"How did you answer?" The man asked.

"I'll tell you the truth." Chen's mother replied honestly.

That's right. Gu Qingyan habitually raised his right hand against his chin, thought about it for a moment, his eyes lit up, and suddenly said, "When you chat with her in the future, you will intentionally or unintentionally reveal that I have sleepwalking." ”

"But......" Mother Chen's face was full of confusion, as if she was puzzled, and before she could say anything, Gu Qingyan suddenly interrupted her coldly, "Do as I say." Remember, don't mention in front of her in the future that I don't have sleepwalking. ”

"Yes, sir." Chen's mother finally obeyed his orders.
