When she came back from the hospital, Gu Aochen was not seen in the hall, Xia Ziyuan shouted "Yi Aochen" into the house, but she didn't hear an answer, and only her own echo came from the huge mansion.

The housekeeper heard her voice and hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

"Young lady."

"Is Gu Aochen back?" Xia Ziyuan asked him while looking in the direction of the study, thinking that this stuffy gourd should hide in the study again and sulk by himself, right?

The housekeeper noticed her gaze, bowed slightly and said, "The young master has not come back since he went out this morning."

Isn't that that since I went to class with her in the morning, I haven't been back?

Okay, you Gu Aochen, you keep saying that you want to come back, but what about the people? Dare to fool me?

She still doesn't believe it, wait, I'm going to dig you out three feet into the ground!

Seeing that Xia Ziyuan was about to go out angrily, the old housekeeper hurriedly stopped her: "Young lady, dinner is about to begin."

"Please tell grandpa, you don't have to wait for us."

"Huh? Young lady, young lady......" The housekeeper couldn't stop her, so he had to sigh and think: What's the matter with the young master and the young lady? What's going on again, it's about to be dinner, how do you want me to explain it to the old man? Could it be true that you really want to watch the old man wait for these two to eat?

Waiting for the meal with a tormented heart, and seeing them on the table, the old man snorted unhappily and asked the butler who was waiting on the side: "Are they people?"

"The young lady said, so you don't have to wait for her and the young master." As the housekeeper spoke, he couldn't stop wiping sweat in his heart, the young master and the young lady didn't know what was wrong, even if it was angry, it shouldn't be, and they didn't even eat. I don't know what Master Yu cares about the most is that the meal must be all present before you can move the chopsticks? Alas...... I really don't know what this little couple is thinking.

"Withdraw the food." The old man sat at the dining table and said irresistibly with a cold face,

"But......" The housekeeper tried to persuade the old man, but chose to give up when he saw the firmness and seriousness in the old man's eyes. The old man has always been the same, and as a housekeeper, trying to persuade the old man is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and it is a fantasy.

……

Let's say that Xia Ziyuan has been looking for a long time, and she has already searched for companies, schools, Internet cafes, and all the places she can find. She sat on a bench next to the school playground and pulled the tab of the can, the cold soda pouring into her mouth. A small part of the steam water flowed down the corner of her mouth, and Xia Ziyuan reached out and wiped it off with her sleeve.

Gu Aochen, where did he go?

The dialing prompt of the mobile phone sounded for a long time, and his voice did not come all the time, and after the hang-up sound of "doodoo ......", Xia Ziyuan broadcast the phone to him again, but no one answered, it was all the time.

The sun is sinking in the west, and in the blink of an eye night is about to fall, and men and women after school walk together, either talking or playing. I didn't see any acquaintances during this time period, because Yi Han and Qianwei's classes were not in this time, Nangong Yi and they also went to visit and accompany Ye Jingjing.

She was the only one.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Xia?" Li Yao put aside the sketchboard in her hand and sat down beside her. looked at the soda in her hand, and said casually: "The drink just taken out by the vending machine is frozen and low-temperature processed, in order to prevent the drink from deteriorating due to temperature changes, and it is not recommended to drink it as soon as it is taken out." ”

"Thanks for the reminder." After Xia Ziyuan finished speaking, she picked up the drink can and took another sip to herself.

"You!" Li Yao glared at her again dissatisfied, with her hands around her chest. "What are you doing sitting here alone? It can't be to wait for someone, right? What's the matter, don't see your boyfriend anymore? That's right, people are presidents, how can they be so idle. ”

"Is your Miss Li the same? Not in a hurry to go home for dinner? Xia Ziyuan replied.

"You can't be sneering at me, I'm not here to see your jokes."

"So what are you going to do? Looking for me to make small talk?"

"I heard that you grew up with Nangong Yi and Ye Jingjing from childhood to adulthood, you should know them very well, right? It's nothing, I just want to ask you, these two people, do you have a good relationship?"

"I want to ......" Xia Ziyuan took a sip of the drink, moistened her lips, and said to her, "I don't have anything to tell you, do I?"

Li Yao chuckled, then stood up and said, "Okay, then I haven't been here."

"What are you drawing? Can you show me?" Xia Ziyuan tilted her head in her direction, her face full of curiosity.

"It's no secret." Li Yao handed her the sketchboard on the chair, and Xia Ziyuan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"Are you drawing classmates?"

"Disappointed you?" Li Yao didn't think much of her reaction, "Do you think it's a great painting?" I'm just doing a sketch homework. ”

"What is this boy doing?" Xia Ziyuan raised her eyes to look at her.

"Drawing, can't you see it? In front of him was a drawing board, and on the drawing board was a person who had not finished drawing. Organized by the teacher, classmates are models for each other, I see him as pitiful, he has no friends, and if he can't hand in his works, he will be deducted from his usual points. ”

"So he's drawing you, your picture is very interesting, there is a picture in the painting."

Li Yao listened to her appreciation, but she didn't feel happy, but smiled bitterly, and said to her with some contempt: "What do you know as an outsider, in the eyes of our art students, this is the most uncreative painting, and he doesn't pose at all, neither the beauty of the lines of the body, nor the beauty of composition."

"But you also said that you drew a classmate, I think this painting is quite realistic, isn't this what art students normally paint?"

"I can't tell you clearly, I'm leaving, Miss Xia, it seems that you still need to learn more about my major, I don't like to play the piano to the cow next time."

"I will." Xia Ziyuan said politely, watching her figure go away.

Almost, she should go back, glancing at the darkening sky, Xia Ziyuan drove home, and I don't know, Gu Aochen has come back. Xia Ziyuan pushed open the door, only to see two eyes projected towards her, it was Old Man Gu and the butler who had been waiting on the side for a long time.

"Grandpa......" Xia Ziyuan suddenly felt a little empty, didn't she? Why did Grandpa sit at the dining table and wait for her? You haven't eaten yet, have you? At the thought of eating, Xia Ziyuan's stomach let out a little uncompromising. She changed her shoes and approached the hall with some embarrassment.

"Little kite, have you had dinner?"

"No, I ......"

"Why didn't the stinky boy even go home?" didn't see Gu Aochen who came back behind her, the old man looked a little angry, just now when he was waiting, he heard the housekeeper say that Xia Ziyuan was looking for Gu Aochen as soon as he came back, but he didn't know where Gu Aochen ran away.

Since I was a child, I have never seen anything like this, and I don't answer the phone, so I can't reach him no matter what, it's really strange.

"Grandpa, maybe...... It was I who upset Aochen, so he didn't want to see me. Xia Ziyuan said softly, with a sincere attitude, and she was already planning to admit her mistake.

I heard the old man say, "Is there anything you can't say well?" I didn't even go home, who did I learn from this virtue?! Old Man Gu slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Gu Lingtian, you come down for me." ”

Gu Lingtian, who had just entered the study not long after work, was called downstairs with a confused face and asked Old Man Gu, "Dad, is it time to eat?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat! I ask you, where did Aochen go? ”

"Aochen ......" Gu Lingtian looked around for a week, and found that he didn't see his son's figure, so he couldn't help but touch his head blankly, and said, "Yes, what about Aochen?" ”

"Your son, you ask me? Get out of here and find someone, and if you don't find it, you won't come back. Old Man Gu took it upon himself this time and drove Gu Lingtian out of the door, Gu Lingtian still wanted to say something, but he was so frightened by the crutches he waved that he didn't dare to speak. Returning to the dining table, Xia Ziyuan thought that Gu Lingtian had ended up like this, and he estimated that he would be poked by Old Man Gu and scattered, right? However, when Old Man Gu looked at her, he regained a kind face and said gently: "Little kite, don't think too much, Aochen may have something delayed." Are you hungry? Sit down on the sofa and rest for a while, butler, serve some pastries, don't starve people. ”

Old man, are you determined? You're too double-standard, aren't you? Who is your biological birth?

Even the old housekeeper couldn't help but complain in his heart, how could his old man be so good to this girl of the Yue family? Although it is said that the old man of the Yue family is close friends with him, there is no need to look like this, right? Moreover, Miss Xia said that it was she who was not good at making the young master angry.

But after all, the housekeeper obediently went to the kitchen and arranged for the maid to bring a few plates of pastries and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? I...... I can endure it a little longer. ”

"How's that going to work? It's not good for young people to be hungry, you eat first, grandpa is not hungry, grandpa has been losing weight recently. ”

Weight loss? Xia Ziyuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, sat down on the sofa with a weak heart, and glanced behind her from time to time, thinking that she still has some credibility to lose weight, grandpa's age, what kind of weight loss? Besides, grandpa, you're not fat.

Forget it, I always feel that Old Man Gu looks like that, someone is going to suffer, it shouldn't be himself, right?

Xia Ziyuan sat on the sofa and endured it for a while, it was really boring, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a while, still calling Gu Aochen, but no one answered. Her stomach has already begun to protest, what are you doing? This Gu Aochen, although it was her fault first, there is no need for him to disappear suddenly after evaporating from the world, right?

She tasted a few pastries and saw the hour hand of the clock on the wall ticking to ten, eleven, twelve......

Hurry up and answer the phone...... Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Xia Ziyuan was a little sleepy, she yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes. A maid walked up to her with a blanket and covered her, which seemed to be what Old Man Gu meant. Grandpa is good, although she said that when she was in the Yue family before, her grandfather was also very good to her, but after all, it is the Yue family, it is her mother's family, how can Yue Shumin often go back.

Cold, sleepy and hungry, Xia Ziyuan covered the blanket, gently leaned on the sofa, and gradually fell asleep. Originally, I thought that I would sleep for a while, just sleep for a while, but I didn't expect that this sleep would be a few hours.

"The young master is back!" The butler called out in surprise, and then stepped forward with concern, but he couldn't help frowning. The young master smelled of wine all over his body...... What's going on? Then, his gaze fell on Gu Aochen's face, there was a looming forehead under some messy hair, the sword eyebrows were slightly twisted, and in the eyes as deep as obsidian, there was no blur, more than a trace of clarity, under the high bridge of the nose were two thin lips, the corners of the mouth were broken a little skin, as if there were still some bruises, and the rest could not see any traces on his face, but his clothes were a little wet, I don't know if it was sweat or cold water poured on someone. "Less, young master, what are you...... What's wrong? ”
