Chapter 49: Him as a Child
About half an hour later, Lin Ya drove the car into the parking lot, stopped steadily, and led Su Menglan into the house.
Lin Ya led Su Menglan to the sofa and sat down, and instructed Lin Ziqing to pour water.
Su Menglan watched Lin Ziqing resign herself to the kitchen, and after looking around, she didn't find Gu Yuan's figure, so she asked, "Aunt Lin, isn't Uncle Gu at home today?" ”
Lin Ya said with disgust: "Your Uncle Gu, you went out early in the morning to play chess with a few of his old friends, you should be fishing by the pond at this time." Tell me, when you're older, you still like to run outside, but you just can't stay at home. ”
Su Menglan smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, you are still young, you can still enjoy life." I think it's good that Uncle Gu is like this, he can do what he likes, at least he is happy every day, isn't it? ”
Lin Ya listened to Su Menglan's empathetic words, patted the back of Su Menglan's hand lovingly, and said gently: "So I just like you, it's hard to find a good boy like you." ”
Su Menglan lowered her head shyly and said softly: "Aunt Lin, don't make fun of me anymore, I'm embarrassed." ”
At this time, Lin Ziqing walked to the living room with two glasses of water and answered: "Menglan, my mother is right, I also think you are very good." ”
As he spoke, he put the water cup on the coffee table, sat down next to the two, listened quietly to the two chatting, interjecting a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.
After chatting for a while, Lin Ya remembered the matter and said to Su Menglan: "By the way, Su girl, I called you here today not only to let you come to dinner, but mainly to show you something." ”
Su Menglan raised her eyes suspiciously: "Aunt Lin, what are you going to show me?" ”
Lin Ya smiled mysteriously and said, "Go, you come with me." Then he said to Lin Ziqing: "Ziqing, you can watch TV by yourself for a while, and call your father back for dinner when it's almost time." ”
Lin Ziqing responded, looking at Lin Ya's figure walking towards the study with Su Menglan, her eyes flashing with smart light.
She took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Qinghan: "Brother, just now my mother called Menglan to the house for dinner, if you have nothing to do, come back for dinner." ”
After watching the message be sent successfully, she put her phone in her hand and watched the TV intently.
And after Lin Ya walked into the study with Su Menglan, she said to Su Menglan: "Su girl, you can sit casually first, and wait for me to find it." ”
Su Menglan was embarrassed to sit and watch Lin Ya busy alone, and said, "Aunt Lin, what are you looking for?" I'll look for it with you, so it's quicker. ”
Lin Ya waved her hand and said, "No need, Miss Su, you can sit and rest for a while, I'll find it soon."
Su Menglan saw that Lin Ya insisted on finding it herself, so she didn't speak again, and sat on the chair next to her obediently, looking at the decoration of the study.
The whole study is decorated in a simple and atmospheric manner, with only a large computer desk, a small round table and four small chairs. Diagonally opposite the computer desk was a large bookcase with a large collection of books, allowing her to smell a faint smell of books in the study.
Just as Su Menglan was carefully looking at what books they had, she saw Lin Ya walking towards her with a thick book in her hand.
She hurriedly wanted to get up and take the things in Lin Ya's hand, but saw Lin Ya waving her hand at her, and said, "Su girl, you sit, I'll just take it." ”
Then, Lin Ya walked to the small round table with the things in her hand and sat next to Su Menglan.
Su Menglan was curious: "Aunt Lin, is this what you want me to see?" ”
Lin Ya nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it's all treasured, and I haven't shown it to anyone other than our family!" ”
After hearing this, Su Menglan learned that he was the first outsider to be able to read the content of this book, and said with some flattery: "Thank you, Aunt Lin, thank you for liking me." So what the hell is in here? ”
Lin Ya smiled mysteriously and slowly turned the first page.
Su Menglan looked over and saw a somewhat yellowed photo, on which was a little baby sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes.
She was a little surprised, and suddenly said, "Aunt Lin, it turns out that you want to show me the old photo album." ”
Lin Ya looked at the photo lovingly, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." But Su girl, do you know who is in the photo? ”
Su Menglan looked at the sleeping baby, and couldn't tell whether it was Gu Qinghan or Lin Ziqing, so she shook her head and said, "I can't see it." I feel like the babies all look similar. ”
Lin Ya smiled and said, "This is Qinghan, I remember that this was taken when he was just a month old." ”
When Su Menglan heard that it was Gu Qinghan, she couldn't help but look more carefully, and muttered: "When I was young, I was so cute, but my current temperament is not cute at all." ”
Lin Ya looked at Su Menglan carefully, smiled, and said, "Su girl, there is not only this one, there are many more behind." It's all cold at different times. ”
As he spoke, he slowly turned the next page. In the photo, Gu Qinghan is wearing a pink princess dress and two pigtails.
Su Menglan looked at the women's version of Gu Qinghan, her eyes were full of smiles, and she hooked her lips and said, "Aunt Lin, why is he dressed like this?" ”
Lin Ya also smiled and said, "This is when Qinghan first went to kindergarten. I always wanted a girl when I was pregnant with him, so the small clothes I prepared were all worn by girls, and Ziqing was still in swaddling clothes when Qinghan went to kindergarten, so I didn't want to waste the clothes, so I let Qinghan wear them. How's that, it's pretty, right? ”
Su Menglan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's good-looking!" His women's clothes are quite delicate. ”
Lin Ya also agreed: "It's not! Then he lamented: "It's a pity that I only wore it this once." He went to the kindergarten and found that none of the other boys wore skirts, and they never wore them since. ”
The words fell, and he slowly flipped through the photo album. For more than an hour, Lin Ya and Su Menglan chatted while looking at the photos, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Lin Ya turned the last page, slowly closed the album and took it back to its place, Su Menglan was still sitting on the chair, thinking about the different Gu Qinghan she had seen just now.
Su Menglan's mind crossed him as a baby, in kindergarten, in elementary school, and in middle school...... Until now. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but unconsciously hook up a gentle smile.
Lin Ya turned around and saw Su Menglan smiling gently.
A smile flashed in her eyes, and thinking of Xia Yuxin, who was now sandwiched between Su Menglan and Gu Qinghan, she restrained her smile slightly, and walked back to the round table and sat down.
She casually mentioned it: "Su girl, do you know? Qing Han was relatively cold when he was young, so he didn't have many friends, and at present, there were only Han Chen and Lu Xiao, two iron buddies, and the others were just general friends. Not to mention the girl's fate, he has always been alienated from the girls around him, and the only one who can get close for so long is except Ziqing, which is Xia Yuxin. ”
Su Menglan was originally listening very carefully to Lin Ya telling her about Gu Qinghan's past, curious about who Lu Xiao was, but when she heard Lin Ya mention Xia Yuxin, her eyes were slightly dim, and she sat in place silently.
Lin Ya looked at Su Menglan, who fell into silence, and spoke again: "But there is a reason why Qing Han is willing to let Xia Yuxin get closer. I still remember going to the mall that day in the cold......"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Suddenly, Lin Ya's words were interrupted by a deep, magnetic voice.
Su Menglan and Lin Ya turned their heads to look and saw Gu Qinghan standing at the door of the study, looking at them with a slightly unconcerned face.
