Chapter 33: The Unlucky Li Yiming
Looking at the puffing Jiang Xiao with a smile, Gu Cheng raised his lips and carefully held Jiang Xiao's hand again.
"Did you just swap the pendant I accidentally dropped on the ground for the one with the scratched photo?" Jiang Xiao gently bit the corner of his mouth, pushed Gu Cheng who was holding his hand away, and glared at him angrily.
Gu Cheng coughed dryly, looked at Jiang Xiao and continued: "How did I know that it would fall out!" ”
This is obviously an attitude of not admitting mistakes, and Jiang Xiao was stunned when he saw it.
But speaking of this, Gu Cheng paused slightly, and after a while, he continued: "Actually, I also want to surprise you. ”
Hearing Gu Cheng say this, Jiang Xiao didn't know what to say, she smashed her mouth slightly, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
"What kind of surprise is this? Don't me off, it's good! ”
She said that the coquettishness in her eyes made Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile.
"I see that you have been sad about the pendant just now, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I want you to be happy." Gu Cheng explained from the bottom of his heart, "Moreover, this is also what you fell, I don't know how to return it to you, so I came up with this solution." ”
As he spoke, Gu Cheng also pretended to look aggrieved, and with his handsome face, he looked so pitiful.
"But you can't do that, can you? Look, aren't you lying to me like this? It makes me believe you so much, and you actually say that you can do magic, and you are a trickster. Jiang Xiao looked at Gu Cheng's appearance and wanted to laugh, but he still sniffed, lowered his head, looked at the two pendants in his hand again, and muttered angrily.
"Okay, don't be angry, it won't be like this in the future." Gu Cheng saw that Jiang Xiao didn't say anything more, thinking that she might have lost her anger, and he was immediately relieved.
Gu Cheng walked up to Jiang Xiao and patted her shoulder gently, but suddenly thought of something, so he pointed to the two pendants in her hand.
"But why did you get two identical pendants?"
Listening to Gu Cheng's question, Jiang Xiao pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, looking a little helpless, she didn't know what to say, she prepared the two identical pendants, not because of Zhang Li's mother and daughter.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao's expression suddenly became a little solemn, Gu Cheng was even more puzzled, he took Jiang Xiao's little hand, walked to the edge of the bed, and asked her to sit down.
"Actually, it's also to prevent Zhang Li's mother and daughter." As she spoke, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but hold the two pendants in her hands tightly, she opened the photo with scratches and looked at it carefully, and her hands kept stroking it.
Gu Cheng nodded, just looking at Jiang Xiao's appearance, his heart was uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to comfort Jiang Xiao.
"Okay, don't be too upset, there are some things, it will pass sooner or later." Gu Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at Jiang Xiao in front of him, and said softly.
Gu Cheng's persuasion made Jiang Xiao feel a lot better in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled at him, without making any expression, his eyes revealing a look of gratitude.
The two talked together in the house for a long time, and it wasn't until sunset that Jiang Xiao reacted.
I wanted Gu Cheng to go first, but when Jiang Xiao walked out of the room, he found that the housekeeper had prepared dinner and was waiting for her to eat.
"Aren't you going to let me stay for a meal?" Gu Cheng behind him looked at Jiang Xiao and was slightly stunned, followed her line of sight, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, not at all worried that the two downstairs would dismantle his platform.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, only to find that Gu Cheng had already walked out of the house.
At this time, the voice of the butler calling from downstairs came from below.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but want to hold his forehead, but he was helpless but didn't know how to refuse, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
She turned her head to look at Gu Cheng and reluctantly said, "It's okay to eat, but don't move your hands and feet!" ”
Such a warning made Gu Cheng feel a little funny, looking at Jiang Xiao's thin figure, he resisted the urge to hug her from behind, and followed her downstairs unhurriedly.
As soon as he walked downstairs, Jiang Xiao went to the sink in the kitchen to wash his hands.
She just walked over and noticed Li Yiming's existence, a trace of inexplicable complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, and the whole person couldn't help but block in front of Gu Cheng.
"Why are you at home?" Li Yiming's eyes kept staring at Gu Cheng, the dark color of surprise revealed in his eyes was very obvious, and he unconsciously threw out this sentence, which meant that he didn't expect Gu Cheng to appear here at all.
"Hehe, he was invited by me to be a guest." Jiang Xiao, who was standing in front of Gu Cheng, had a slight embarrassment on his face, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but want to block Li Yiming's sight, but his thin body could only block half of it.
Gu Cheng, who was standing behind him, looked at Jiang Xiao's reaction expressionlessly, not wanting to show anything at all, but felt that Jiang Xiao was very interesting like this.
He watched her every move in his eyes, and felt warm and comfortable in his heart, completely without the disgust of the women who leaned on him in the past, and the love in his heart was constantly spreading.
The housekeeper who had just taken out the dishes and chopsticks saw the three of them standing in a stalemate, and he felt bad in his heart, and immediately put the bowl on the dining table, and then walked to Li Yiming's side.
"Alas, don't stand stupidly, come and eat, my son will help me set the dishes and chopsticks." After speaking, the housekeeper glanced at Li Yiming.
Before Li Yiming could ask the question in his heart, he was pulled by his housekeeper father and walked to the dining table, he looked at his father without knowing the truth, and his eyes revealed deep confusion.
The housekeeper was very helpless Li Yiming, a son who lacked roots, and at the same time felt helpless for the secret love between Sister Jiang Xiao and Gu Cheng.
"Don't bother with the two of them, do you hear? Don't do anything that doesn't look good! The housekeeper whispered beside his son, and glared at Li Yiming fiercely.
These confused words made Li Yiming even more confused, he looked at Gu Cheng's smiling appearance, but he couldn't help but shudder lightly.
Suddenly, Li Yiming didn't ask much about anything, and immediately helped his father set up the dishes and chopsticks.
At this time, Gu Cheng and Jiang Xiao also came over and sat at the dining table without saying a word.
The housekeeper noticed Li Yiming's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and when he was about to open his mouth to speak, he stepped on his foot directly under the dining table, and his eyes revealed a message of unwantedness.
"Hiss-" The sudden pain in his feet made the question in Li Yiming's heart disappear at once, and after receiving the message from his father, he remembered his instructions at the beginning, so he had no choice but to purse his lips and glance at his father and Gu Cheng with a look of resentment.
Jiang Xiao didn't notice this little episode, because Gu Cheng had been putting vegetables in her bowl at the moment, and he didn't care about other people's looks.
Jiang Xiao felt a little panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but stop it, but he didn't know what kind of reason he found out.
He had to pick up a dish, and she ate one quickly, so as not to be noticed that something was wrong between them.
But when he was free, Jiang Xiao still glared at Gu Cheng fiercely and motioned for him not to pick up any more vegetables.
Gu Cheng noticed Jiang Xiao's emotions, pursed his lips involuntarily and chuckled, took the last dish, put down the chopsticks, picked up his own chopsticks, and ate by himself.
Gu Cheng no longer tossed, which made Jiang Xiao breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he felt numb and fragrant when he looked at the food in the bowl.
Gu Cheng's identity suddenly flashed in her mind, which couldn't help but make her feel a little uncomfortable, and unconsciously glanced at Li Yiming's body, and couldn't help but ask what she thought in her heart.
"Ahem, Yiming, is your company still recruiting?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Yiming didn't notice that Jiang Xiao was asking with an idea, and replied very naturally.
Looking at the food in front of the table, Li Yiming casually picked up a chopstick of braised eggplant and put it in his mouth, not noticing the joy revealed in Jiang Xiao's eyes at all.
"Can you help him get a job?" Jiang Xiao put down the bowl in his hand and pointed to Gu Cheng beside him, with an expectant look in his eyes. She didn't want the person she met with often to be a duck, and at the same time wanted to help him find a normal job.
Li Yiming raised his head and looked at Gu Cheng who Jiang Xiao was pointing at, the white rice that had just been stuffed into his throat instantly made his whole body choke, and there was a trace of incredible emotion in his eyes.
Covering his mouth with his hand, Li Yiming forcibly swallowed the food in his throat, coughed violently a few times, took the water handed over by the housekeeper, drank it all, and coughed a few more times before it calmed down, his face was flushed, which was coughed up.
Seeing that Gu Cheng still had a calm face, he couldn't help but speak: "He doesn't need me to help find a job at all, he has his own ......"
Before the words were finished, the faces of the housekeeper and Gu Cheng who were sitting on the side changed, and the housekeeper immediately stretched out his foot under the dining table and stepped on Li Yiming violently.
Gu Cheng, on the other hand, projected a warning gaze on him, and specially stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth with chopsticks, and explained with a smile.
"I just choked on it and it's not suitable to finish, you should eat something and swallow it to prevent you from coughing!"
The sudden stinging pain on his foot was even more painful than the kick at the beginning, so that Li Yiming couldn't help but open his mouth loudly, and before he could scream, he was stuffed with those dishes, making him dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't scream bitterly!
"Help!" After swallowing the food in his mouth, Li Yiming inhaled sharply, and the hot chili pepper made him feel that his whole mouth was numb, and he couldn't help but scream miserably.
At the same time, Li Yiming also drank all the water on the table, and only then did he feel the look on his comfortable face that slowed down a little, showing a hint of vigilance towards Gu Cheng and his father.
