There was something playful in his tone.

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened slightly, and he didn't speak.

Chen Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "Don't want to know? ”

As he spoke, he suddenly came to Gu Shi'an's side with a face, and said, "Don't worry too much about other people's affairs, what you want is not what others want." You also don't have any right to dictate other people's lives. ”

There was a bit of indifference in his tone.

After he finished speaking, this time he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to catch up again, he stood up and said lazily: "I'll squint in the car for a while, and call me later." ”

That means I'm going back to the old house tonight.

Gu Shi'an nodded in response, and Chen Xiao had already opened the door and walked out.

It was cold outside, and the wind was blowing in the hallway. Chen Xiao dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand at the door, and then walked downstairs from the dim corridor.

It was much colder outside than in the corridor, and it was already early spring, and the drizzle was falling from the sky. But it was as piercing as ice.

Chen Xiao stood at the entrance of the building for a while, looked up at the pitch-black sky, and walked to the side of the car. Opened the car door and sat in the car, finished a cigarette, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Chang Yan didn't come back for a long time, Gu Shi'an waited until more than eleven o'clock, and Chang Yan changed to an unfamiliar number to call.

As soon as Gu Shi'an heard her voice, he asked where she was.

Chang Yan's voice was a little tired, and he was silent for a while. said, "I'm not going to come too late tonight." You go to bed early. ”

She doesn't say where she is now.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to ask her, but he didn't ask after all. responded with a good word, hesitated for a moment, and asked Chang Yan to call her if he had something.

Chang Yan took it seriously and said yes, and said that it was okay.

The two couldn't find anything to say for a while, but Gu Shi'an said something to let her rest early and hung up the phone first.

The room was so quiet that she didn't move for a moment. After staying in the house for a long time, I turned off the lights and closed the door and went downstairs.

She was slightly tired, and stood in the corridor for a while before calling Chen Xiao.

When she went downstairs, Chen Xiao was already waiting at the staircase, and he was not surprised that Chang Yan didn't come back. When he got to the car, he opened the car door and let Gu Shi'an get into the car.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, and when he got into the car, he closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Chen Xiao glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

When the two of them returned to the old mansion, it was already late, and even Ye Qing had already slept. went upstairs, Gu Shi'an went to take a bath. Chen Xiao waited for her to go to bed before returning to the room.

I didn't sleep well last night, and my nerves are too tight today. Gu Shi'an's head ached faintly. She wanted to get up and look for painkillers, but she didn't move. Just lying like that, in the end, I don't even know when I fell asleep.

When Gu Shi'an got up the next day, Chen Xiao was no longer there, and she lay on the bed for a long time before she got up.

She originally wanted to call Chang Yin, but she held the phone in her hand, but she still didn't call after all. He closed his eyes and leaned on the head of the bed for a while, and then he got up.

Haven't gone to work yet. She doesn't have to go to the company, she stays with the old lady at home. Because of Chang Yin's affairs, she is a little absent-minded, and she always loses when she plays cards together.

The old lady smiled, and finally took out the money she had won, and asked the driver to go out and buy food and come back.

Although the old lady was happy, she was still in poor spirits, and went to rest after noon.

Gu Shi'an had nothing to do and went back to the room. She didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so she stood in front of the window in a daze.

Probably because of Chang Yan's matter, she was faintly a little uneasy. There's a little impetuousness.

She still couldn't let go of her heart, so she stayed upstairs for a while and went downstairs, said hello to Ye Qing, and she went out for a while.

Although Chang Yan made a phone call, she didn't know where she was. But if she did come back, it would probably be in her small courtyard.

She has always disliked bothering anyone, and now, she probably won't go back to her.

Gu Shi'an went out and took a taxi to the small courtyard of Chang Yin. She had been in a daze, and when she arrived at the local driver's reminder, she came back to her senses, paid and got out of the car.

Most of the storefronts in the New Year have not yet opened for business, and the whole street is deserted. Gu Shi'an stood in front of Chang Yin's small courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and reached out and knocked on the door.

She didn't have much hope, but before long she heard footsteps inside. The door was soon opened.

Chang Yan was slightly stunned when she saw her, then smiled and said, "Why don't you call first, I just got up." ”

She did look like she had just woken up.

Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, took out his mobile phone, looked at it, and said, "I thought your mobile phone was turned off." ”

Chang Yan sighed and walked in with her.

The yard was quiet. It's not like there's anyone else here.

Gu Shi'an hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Uncle...... Isn't it back? ”

Chang Yan said lightly: "Gone again." ”

She obviously didn't plan to continue on this topic, so when she got to the small living room inside, she asked Gu Shi'an to sit down and said that she would wash up first.

Gu Shi'an responded with a good sentence. Chang Yan went to the kitchen to boil water for her to make tea, and then went to wash.

She hadn't been here in a while, and it looked the same as before. She picked up her teacup and drank it slowly.

Chang Yin's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for him to wash up and change his clothes.

Her face was still pale, she looked at the time and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "I've already eaten it." ”

Chang Yan sighed, grabbed his hair, and said, "I haven't eaten yet." ”

She hadn't been at home for a few days, and she definitely hadn't eaten at home. Gu Shi'an said now: "Let's go out and eat." ”

Chang Yan responded, thought about it, and said, "There is a newly opened hot pot restaurant nearby, I heard that it tastes good." I'll take you to try it. ”

She said and walked out. When she went to change her shoes at the door, Gu Shi'an noticed a pair of men's leather shoes on the shoe rack.

She only thought it was left by Chang Yan's father when he left, but she didn't think much about it. But Chang Yan quickly turned sideways to cover the shoes, quickly changed his shoes, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

She seemed to be in a hurry to go out, and her steps were fast. When he went out, he closed the door.

She was a little suspicious of Gu Shi'an like this, but she didn't think much about it, and went out with her.

When he got outside, Chang Yan was obviously much more relaxed. With Gu Shi'an, I was going to the hot pot restaurant.

Gu Shi'an came to her to eat, and then said, "I'm not hungry yet, you can eat by yourself." ”

Chang Yan's footsteps paused slightly, pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, and said, "I said that I would invite you to dinner." She looked at the time and said, "I'm not hungry either, I'll buy a bun to eat later." Let's go over there again, and we'll eat when you're hungry. ”

Gu Shi'an sighed and said, "You eat first, and we'll find a place to sit in a while." ”

Chang Yan didn't shirk anymore this time, and answered a good sentence. I saw a steamed bun shop in front of me, so I stepped forward and bought a steamed bun and a cup of soy milk.

Walking around the street in such weather is also a crime, and before the two of them walked from the street to the end of the street, Chang Yan took Gu Shi'an to a teahouse and sat down. I ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea.

Because of the New Year, there was no one in the teahouse. The owner dozed off at the counter.

Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of tea and wanted to ask something, but she couldn't speak for a while. After a while. She looked at Chang Yin, and finally asked, "Have you been over there all these days?" ”

Chang Yan's body stiffened slightly, pulled out a smile, and said, "No." ”

She didn't say much, and she didn't say a word after saying that.

Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is it from the past......?"

She didn't know much about the past, and she couldn't ask if she wanted to.

Chang Yan should have thought that she would ask this, shook his head, and said, "No." I just met a friend. Don't worry, really. ”

Her tone was serious, and the expression on her face didn't look like she was lying. It's just that he doesn't say anything about the past or the present.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew that she didn't plan to say it. She fell silent and didn't ask any more. took out a card from his pocket and pushed it to Chang Yin, and said, "There is still some money here, you can keep it first, and if you need it urgently, you can use it." ”

Chang Yan obviously didn't expect her to give her a card, and couldn't help but be stunned. immediately returned the card to Gu Shi'an and said, "I'm really fine, I don't need this." Thank you. ”

After a slight pause, she looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "You don't have to worry about me, really." Shi'an ...... "She was slightly in a trance, and wanted to say something, but she paused here again.

Then there was a long pause.

The two did not speak for a while. After a long time, Gu Shi'an's voice said slightly: "Chen Xiao...... Should know what you used to do. ”

Chang Yan was not surprised at all, as if he knew what Gu Shi'an was thinking, and said, "I know." I met that friend this time...... It's a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with him. ”

After a slight pause, Chang Yan continued: "Shi'an, I'm not as cowardly as you think. Some things will come sooner or later. I don't plan to hide for the rest of my life. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Uncle worked hard to bring me out, and I won't let myself get in again. ”

Her tone was serious. She didn't intend to talk about the past, but to say so was undoubtedly heart-wrenching.

Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy. Chang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, for the New Year, we won't talk about this." ”

She didn't plan to talk about this topic any more, and asked if Gu Shi'an had any fun going out this time. She never said much. Finding a topic is also very unfamiliar.

Gu Shi'an answered them all one by one.

After sitting for about 20 minutes, Chang Yan's mobile phone rang. She didn't answer in front of Gu Shi'an, but went out with her mobile phone.

It was only after three or four minutes that she returned.

Gu Shi'an looked at her and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Chang Yan nodded, hesitated, and said, "I have to go out." ”

Gu Shi'an stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Chang Yan said sorry in a low voice.

Gu Shi'an pulled out a smile. smiled and said seriously: "I remember the hot pot." ”

She was originally going to take the car by herself, but Chang Yan had to take her to the car. When Gu Shi'an left, Chang Yan did not leave. After standing on the side of the road for a while, I went back to the small courtyard.

Gu Shi'an's heart was heavy, and he was looking out the window all the way. I don't know how long it took for her to come to her senses.

Just as I was about to take out my phone to check the time, the phone rang. It turned out to be Chen Xiao calling. Gu Shi'an looked at it. Picked it up. As soon as he fed it, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked, "Where are you now?" ”

Gu Shi'an looked outside, and replied where he was now.

Chen Xiao said at this time: "Get out of the car and wait for me in the same place, I'll come over immediately." ”

Gu Shi'an was originally going to ask him something, but he had already hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an had to let the driver stop the car, pay for the car, and get out of the car.

Chen Xiao came quickly, coming over in less than ten minutes. When he saw Gu Shi'an, he stopped the car. He raised his chin and said, "Get in the car." ”

Gu Shi'an was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Xiao said now: "There is a dinner tonight, and I need to bring a female companion." You come with me. ”

Gu Shi'an had never accompanied Chen Xiao to any occasion, and he said without thinking about it: "I won't go." ”

Chen Xiao lazily added: "Grandma called." ”

Gu Shi'an was silent now. As soon as she got into the car, the old lady really called, saying that it was Grandma Luo Ying's birthday today, and asked the two of them to go over on her behalf.

This was originally a matter of course. The old lady has a bad memory and forgot to tell Gu Shi'an. When I woke up from a nap, I remembered to call the old lady.

Yes, she has never attended any occasion with Chen Xiao. If it weren't for the old lady's orders, Chen Xiao wouldn't have called her.

Gu Shi'an has always disliked this kind of occasion, but he can only respond to it with a hard head.

hung up the phone, only to find that Chen Xiao was looking at her.

Gu Shi'an was furious by him and asked, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

Chen Xiao said slowly: "Do you think it's appropriate for you to go in the past?" ”

Gu Shi'an looked down at the clothes on her body now, she came out on a temporary basis, and she didn't change her clothes. She looked at Chen Xiao at this time, and asked tentatively, "Go back and change?" ”

The corners of Chen Xiao's lips hooked, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "You can also take the opportunity to knock me." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.

Chen Xiao looked at the time, and said lazily: "It's too late to go back." Besides, do you have the right clothes? ”

Yes, most of the clothes in Gu Shi'an's wardrobe are professional attire. Chen Xiao is very clear.

She touched her nose.

There was a shopping mall nearby, and Chen Xiao turned around and parked the car. Gu Shi'an said now: "I'll just go by myself." ”

Chen Xiao sneered at this time and said, "Come on, I don't feel at ease if you choose your vision." You have to know that the two of us are grasshoppers on a thread now. ”

No, Gu Shi'an was dressed up brightly, and his face naturally had light. If it is the other way around, it will be his face that will be lost.

Gu Shi'an naturally knew the meaning of his words, and didn't say anything more. He followed him into the mall.

Chen Xiao's eye is picky, and he went to several stores in a row before picking out a dress and asking Gu Shi'an to try it. He didn't need other people's opinions at all, so he stood at the door of the locker room, and when he felt that it was inappropriate, he immediately asked her to replace him.

Gu Shi'an has always been afraid of shopping, but Chen Xiao didn't know which crazy way he was smoking, so he took one after another for Gu Shi'an to try.

The dresses he picked out were not Gu Shi'an's style at all. Gu Shi'an was afraid that he would laugh at him for being a dirt bun, so he had to try hard.

If Chen Xiao is profound, he has always been incomprehensible, and Gu Shi'an has no way to tell from his face whether he is satisfied or not.

In the end, Chen Xiao was a little absent-minded, and he probably found that Gu Shi'an was impatient. chose a conservative dress for Gu Shi'an to change into.

He was disdainful of Gu Shi'an's outfit, and changed it from head to toe.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that with his pickiness, he would definitely go to the beauty salon. But no, after buying clothes, Chen Xiao took her directly into the car.

Gu Shi'an was about to fasten his seat belt, but Chen Xiao hooked his finger at her and said, "Come here." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was going to do, so he refused to go over, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Xiao was not angry, the corners of his lips hooked evilly, deliberately approached her, and said, "Guess what I was thinking just now?" ”

He asked this question a little weirdly, and Gu Shi'an muttered: "I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know what you're thinking." ”

She originally thought that Chen Xiao would say it. But he didn't say anything. He whistled and started the car.

Gu Shi'an was a little curious about what he only said half of what he said, he had been absent-minded since he was in the mall, and she couldn't help but ask, "What did you think?" ”

Chen Xiao laughed lowly at this time, smiled evilly, and said, "I want to g you." ”

With an obscene look on his face, he specially swept Gu Shi'an's chest.

Gu Shi'an was half a beat slower, and now he knew why he looked for those dresses for her to try. Her face turned red with a bang. Gritted his teeth and scolded: "Hooligans." ”

Chen Xiao was not ashamed, snorted, and said, "As long as it is a normal man, which one do you think is a decent man?" He paused slightly, and said with a smile: "I see my daughter-in-law, this is also a crime?" ”

As he spoke, a pair of eyes stopped at Gu Shi'an's body. I don't know what unsightly things I'm thinking in my head.

Gu Shi'an gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about him.

Chen Xiao chuckled and looked at the road ahead. asked, "Daughter-in-law, you really don't want anything at all?" ”

He talked about it as if he were eating and sleeping.

Gu Shi'an knew that as long as he spoke, he would only become more and more obscene, so he kept his mouth shut.

Chen Xiao was a little excited, and the scene when Gu Shi'an was changing clothes came to mind. He's a little hot. He lit a cigarette and smoked it. Pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.

Gu Shi'an didn't know why he suddenly stopped the car, so he looked at him.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Chen Xiao glanced at her, and said with a smile: "I have to extinguish the anger first." ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and got out of the car and walked to the roadside kiosk. After a while, I bought a bottle of water and came back, drank half a bottle, and then started the car again.

His mind today is full of unsightly things, and drinking water obviously can't solve his anger. The car drove for a while, and lowered his voice to coax Gu Shi'an: "Daughter-in-law, it's late later, I can't drive the car after drinking, we won't go back, okay to go to the hotel?" ”

He blinked. He looks very innocent. There was a red light ahead, and the car in front had stopped. But he didn't look at it.

Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it anymore and said, "There is a car in front." ”

Chen Xiao snorted at this time, a little excited. At this time, the traffic was already blocked, and he finally shut up.

The two of them left quite early, but because of the traffic jam, there were already many guests in the past. Chen Xiao has always been able to speak well, and stepped forward to pay a New Year's greeting to Grandma Luo. The old lady laughed from ear to ear.

Luo Ying was not surprised to see Chen Xiao and Gu Shi'an together, he had to receive guests today, and after a few words of greeting, he asked Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao to go inside to play.

The shoes on Gu Shi'an's feet were newly bought today and fit properly. Chen Xiao didn't know how he found out, and asked Luo Ying if he had a band-aid.

Luo Ying smiled and asked what was wrong.

Chen Xiao pointed to the ground.

Luo Ying's eyes were even more smiling, and he immediately called the maid at home and asked him to take the two of them upstairs.

The two were playing dumb riddles, and Gu Shi'an didn't know what they were talking about. But it was a little inappropriate to walk around in other people's houses, and when she got to the staircase, she whispered, "I won't go up, you can go by yourself." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Don't want your feet?" ”

Gu Shi'an only then did he realize that he was looking for a band-aid for her. His face was slightly red, and he didn't say a word, and followed him upstairs.

Chen Xiao was obviously very familiar with the Luo family, and when he got upstairs and the maid went down, he found a medicine box in Luo Ying's study. Then motioned for Gu Shi'an to sit down.

Although he didn't take a few steps, Gu Shi'an's heels were already red.

Chen Xiao glanced at her at this time and asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Gu Shi'an muttered quietly at this time: "How do I know it doesn't fit." Besides, don't new shoes have a break-in period? ”

Chen Xiao sneered, glanced at her, and did not speak. Take the Band-Aid out and tear it open.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted him to give it to her, but she posted it herself. Who knew that Chen Xiao squatted down, picked up her foot, and put the band-aid on the reddened heel.

His hand holding her foot was a little itchy, and Gu Shi'an wanted to withdraw it. but he pressed it tightly. He took out another piece and pasted it next to the place he had just pasted. Probably because I'm afraid of being red again.
