Chapter 116: Progress

He had fantasized about such scenes countless times.

On a sunny afternoon, he and Gu Xiyu met unexpectedly in the garden. He affectionately told his affection, Gu Xiyu lowered his head shyly, and then said softly, "Cousin, I like you too."

He never imagined that when the day came, she would react like this......

"Cousin Zheng, what you want to say has already been said!" Ye Qinglan asked calmly.

Zheng Junyan nodded dejectedly, and his heart fell straight into the bottomless valley. It's cold, it's empty.

"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of saying a few more words." Ye Qinglan said politely: "Cousin Xiyu is very excited now, if Cousin Zheng doesn't mind, you might as well leave first." I'm here with Cousin Xiyu, and I'll go back later. ”

Zheng Junyan took a deep breath, cheered up and nodded. Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Xiyu reluctantly, and the sadness and loneliness in his black eyes were very obvious.

Ye Qinglan was also a little unbearable when she saw it, and sighed lightly and said, "It belongs to you, and others can't snatch it away." What does not belong to you cannot be forced. Cousin Zheng, take care! ”

Zheng Junyan heard these two words, his body trembled slightly, resisted the urge to turn back, and finally left.

Ye Qinglan didn't have time to care about Zheng Junyan's reaction anymore, and quickly lowered her head to look at Gu Xiyu.

Gu Xiyu buried her head tightly in her arms like an overly frightened deer. It was like the safest place in the world.

This is the most common reaction of autistic people when they are frightened. Ye Qinglan sighed secretly in her heart, and tried her best to soften her voice: "Cousin Xiyu, Cousin Zheng is gone." Now it's just the two of us, you don't have to be scared anymore, can you keep your head up? ”

Gu Xiyu raised her head aggrievedly, and her big eyes flashed with a little water: "He touched my hand just now, I'm so scared!" ”

Look at her aggrieved look. Ye Qinglan was distressed and inevitably a little funny, and comforted gently: "He was also impulsive just now, that's why he was so reckless." Now he regretted it and knew it was wrong. Never again. Don't take it personally. After a pause, he reminded again: "Only the two of us know what happened just now, don't you sue others, okay?" ”

Gu Xiyu hesitated for a moment: "Can't even the eldest brother say?" ”

Ye Qinglan nodded affirmatively.

A trace of confusion appeared in Gu Xiyu's eyes: "Why?" "She never hid anything from her eldest brother.

Of course, you have to hide it from Gu Xinian. If Gu Xinian knew that Zheng Junyan and Gu Xiyu met in private, it would be strange not to be angry. Ye Qinglan thought about it, and explained in the most straightforward words: "Cousin Gu has always felt sorry for you, if he knew that Cousin Zheng had offended you. will definitely be angry with Cousin Zheng. Maybe I'll go to Cousin Zheng to settle accounts, and it will definitely be embarrassing at that time. You don't want to see the two of them arguing, do you! ”

Gu Xiyu couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you." ”

Ye Qinglan was relieved. Let go of Gu Xiyu, sat down opposite her, and asked tentatively, "Cousin Xiyu, you rejected Cousin Zheng just now, will you regret it in the future?" Don't be in a hurry to answer me just yet. Think about it. If Cousin Zheng marries another woman in the future...... For example, if it's the sixth sister, do you feel a little uncomfortable? ”

Gu Xiyu thought for a long time in a daze, and then replied, "No." ”

That's good! Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Gu Xiyu does not have the slightest affection for Zheng Junyan, it is also a good thing to refuse neatly. lest Zheng Junyan always worry about it. Moreover, looking at this posture, it is very likely that Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan will get married. For the sake of Ye Qingning's future happiness. It would be better to settle this matter sooner rather than later.

Before the luncheon began, Mo Xiang and Rui Xue came over. From a distance, I saw the two of them talking together and whispering, and I couldn't help but smile at each other. There is probably such a thing as fate between people. Who would have thought that the withdrawn and introverted Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan would get along so harmoniously?

"Miss. The luncheon is about to begin. Mo Xiang walked over with a smile: "Madame ordered the slave to call you over!" ”

Gu Xiyu nodded reluctantly. The thought of going back to face so many people reflexively felt the urge to retreat.

Ye Qinglan knew her thoughts well, but she didn't break it, took her hand with a smile, and went back to the main hall together.

By this time, all the male guests had already arrived in the dining room next door. Only Mrs. Zheng and a few others remained.

Gu Xiyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a little. Suppled and stood beside Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng gave her a loving look. asked in a low voice, "Where did you go with Sister Lan just now?" ”

Gu Xiyu whispered: "In the garden." She firmly remembered Ye Qinglan's advice and did not mention Zheng Junyan.

Seeing that her expression was not yet calm, Mrs. Zheng was very relieved and did not ask.

Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile and said kindly: "Xiyu, if you are free in the future, you might as well come and have more fun." Your uncle and I have been thinking about you. ”

Gu Xiyu timidly squeezed out a small smile. Although he didn't speak, he wasn't rude.

Mrs. Xu's heart was secretly moved, and she couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyu a few more times, and then smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "Xiyu is much more cheerful these days. "When she was in the British Mansion before, she still remembered Gu Xiyu's gaffe. I thought that Gu Xiyu would definitely not come this time, but I didn't expect Gu Xiyu not only to come, but also to show Xiàn's remarkable, which made people can't help but be impressed.

Mrs. Zheng was naturally happy when she heard this, and responded with a smile: "Yes, this is thanks to Sister Lan." She has been accompanying Yu'er in the house these days, and Yu'er has a playmate, but she is much more cheerful than before. ”

Mrs. Xu let out an "oh" and naturally looked at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan maintained a gentle and proper smile and let Mrs. Xu look at her. Although being a low-key talent is king, sometimes it is not a bad thing to show your face appropriately. She has a pitiful amount of chips, so she can only slowly accumulate strength for herself in this way.

"How old are you?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile. The tone is not very enthusiastic, and there is even a sense of condescension.

Ye Qinglan secretly slandered in her heart, but she responded respectfully on her face: "Back to my aunt's words, I am twelve years old this year. ”

Is it only twelve? Mrs. Xu was slightly surprised. This girl has an indescribable temperament, which is different from the noble and reserved nobles of Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu, but it is more calm.

Mrs. Xu's eyes showed a hint of approval.

When it was time for luncheon, everyone followed Mrs. Xu to the small side hall. There are two separate seats. The older ones sit in one seat, and the younger girls sit in the other.

Ye Qinglan happened to sit between Gu Xiyu and Ye Qingning. There were three girls sitting opposite, one of whom was Zheng Min, who I had seen last time.

Zheng Min remembered the accident that happened last time, quietly glanced at Gu Xiyu, and looked away. I only focused on talking to the two girls from the Zheng family. On such occasions, Gu Xiyu has never spoken. Ye Qinglan whispered a few words with Ye Qingning.

"Tenth sister, it will be Sister Qiao'er's first birthday in a few days, you should come back!" When Ye Qingning said this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyu.

Ye Qinglan smiled and hummed, and deliberately quipped: "No wonder you have lost so much weight." It turned out that it was all because he missed me too much. ”

Ye Qingning was amused, and glanced at her coquettishly. But there was only intimacy between the expressions.

The dishes are naturally very delicate and delicious, but the young girls at the table only ate some and stopped chopsticks. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to put aside the chopsticks. No wonder the girls I saw were all weak and slender, and they ate such a little bit at every meal, and it was strange that they could get fat.

The feast was withdrawn, and tea, cakes, and fruit were served.

The ladies chatted together, and the girls naturally divided into two piles.

I don't know what Zheng Min whispered. The other two girls frequently looked at Gu Xiyu, their eyes were a little weird. It's like looking at a monster...

What Gu Xiyu was most afraid of in her life was such a gaze, her body trembled slightly unconsciously, and her pretty face was faintly white.

Ye Qinglan secretly said that it was not good, so she hurriedly leaned over and whispered a few words of reassurance: "They rarely saw you before." So it's inevitable to be curious about you and take a few more looks. If you don't like them, don't look at them. ”

Gu Xiyu nodded lightly. Although there was still some panic in his expression, he finally held on without gaffe.

Ye Qinglan saw it in her eyes and was very relieved.

This trip was a great test for Gu Xiyu. It is also the perfect time to test how effective the treatment has been these days. Gu Xiyu's appearance was much better than she imagined.

As long as you can take this step bravely, overcome the obstacles in your heart. Gu Xiyu will definitely get better and better in the future!

After another moment, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "We're talking here." You might as well go to the garden and walk around at will, so as not to be so restrained here, you are uncomfortable, and we look awkward. ”

This remark is in line with everyone's heart, and I got up and responded. Then they went out of the side hall together.

Among the six girls, Ye Qingning is the oldest in terms of age, and Gu Xiyu is the most noble in terms of identity. Naturally, I didn't take Zheng Min in my eyes. Zheng Min and the other two girls of the same race obviously felt out of place with them, and they walked faster with a tacit understanding. After a while, the three of them were left far behind.

Ye Qingning snorted unhappily.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu don't care, without the three of them, they can be quieter.

Ye Qingning often came to Zheng Guogong's mansion, and was very familiar with the environment, so he was impatient to follow them from afar, and simply led Ye Qinglan Gu Xiyu to another quiet path.

After walking a few steps, I saw a huge rockery, and there was a small pool next to the rockery, and the scenery was excellent.

Ye Qinglan was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a faint voice from the side of the rockery.

This month finally lasted until the last day, and I changed 6,000 words every day, which was really tiring and tiring. Xiaoqing is not a full-time writer, she has to work every day and take care of her children. If you want to squeeze out the time code, you have to sacrifice your lunch break at noon and your time at night. This month, almost all of my free time is spent coding words, and I don't have time to go out and play at all. Including this May Day holiday ~~~~~ (>_
