The temperature in the morning is not very hot, just in time for relaxation.

Tan Man put his hand on his knee and chatted with her while looking at the scenery along the way: "Have you told him everything?" You want to study here and not return to your home country for the time being. ”

At first, she didn't want to affect her daughter's future, so she didn't want to let her follow her abroad, but after thinking about it, she was even more worried about leaving her alone in China.

After all, Tan Zhen couldn't take care of her all the time, she didn't want Gu Mian to be disturbed by the Gu family's affairs, so she had better put it by her side to feel more at ease.

But in this way, the distance between her and her boyfriend has become even farther.

If one of the two of them has a little time to spare and can compromise for the other, the point is that they are both busy. Tan Zhen once joked that with Ji Lingchuan's current fame, it would be thankful that he could have ten days of vacation in a year. She also said that as far as the actors she knew, like Ji Lingchuan, who were as popular, had no more than five days off a year.

The wind blew the hem of Gu Mian's skirt, she squinted, in fact, from the time she saw Ji Lingchuan last night to the time he left this morning, they didn't talk about the future, and they knew each other.

He didn't ask her how long it would take for her to return home, and she didn't ask when they would see each other again, because they knew in their hearts that they would wait no matter how long it was.

Gu Mian lowered his eyes and looked at the brilliant ring on the middle finger of his right hand, this was an agreement between them.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, feeling that time was not so difficult: "I trust him, he will wait for me." ”

Hearing the relief in her tone, the worry in Tan Man's heart gradually dissipated: "I can see that Ji Lingchuan cares about you very much, and my mother also hopes that you will be happy." ”

Gu Mian stopped: "Mom, ......"

"Mom called you out today, originally I wanted to change the environment to talk to you well, but now it seems that there is no need." Tan Man turned his head to look at her and held her hand.

Gu Mian slowly walked around from behind and squatted down in front of her.

Tan Man touched her hair again and again: "Since the accident, I am not only worried that you will not be able to accept the reality, but also afraid that you will no longer have expectations for love because of my relationship with your father." ”

Gu Mian pressed his side face against her lap, like when she was a child.

Tan Man saw the ring on her hand and smiled slightly: "Did he propose to you?" ”

She saw it when the two of them came in from outside holding hands last night, but she didn't find the right opportunity to ask, and now is a good time.

What a marriage proposal?!

Gu Mian raised his head suddenly, followed his mother's line of sight to his hand, and quickly shook his head and said, "No...... It's not a marriage proposal, it's a birthday present from him. ”

Tan Man sighed meaningfully.

Gu Mian was embarrassed by her expression, and emphasized with a red face: "Mom, don't think about it, I swear it's really not a marriage proposal." ”

Tan Man raised his eyebrows: "It's not a marriage proposal, Ji Lingchuan wants you to marry him with a diamond ring, and he also wants to ask me if I agree with this mother." ”

Gu Mian stopped talking, got up and pushed her forward.

The beautiful scenery always makes people relax physically and mentally, after going out for a walk, the mother and daughter chatted again, Tan Man was in a good mood, and Gu Mian suddenly became brighter.

When she got home and picked up the review materials, she easily threw herself into them and overfulfilled the task.

She checked the electronic version of the notes sent to her by Lu Chen, and she deserved to be a professional scholar, and the notes were very clear and clear, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Not long after lunch, she received a call from Lu Chen: "I'm at your door, I found all the books you said yesterday, come and get them." ”

Gu Mian was moved, and thanked him again and again: "Wait a minute, I'll come down immediately." ”

She put down the pen in her hand and ran out.

There was a car parked at the door of the villa, and Lu Chen leaned on the car, carrying a bag full of information books in his hand, and a strawberry bought from Gubian Fruit Store in the other hand.

He heard her on the phone in the morning as if she was unhappy, and something delicious always made people feel better.

Gu Mian took the bag and held it in her arms, counted it, and sure enough, it was all books she didn't buy online, and said in surprise: "Where did you find it?" ”

"You can buy it in a bookstore without much trouble." Lu Chenyun said lightly.

He put another bag in her arms, Gu Mian looked down and saw that the strawberries were full and red, neatly stacked in the box, very beautiful.

Lu Chen said: "I looked at a fruit store and saw that the strawberries were quite fresh, so I bought some by the way. ”

Gu Mian: "Thank you." ”

Lu Chen smiled, she was always so polite to him, he lowered his eyes and looked at the book in her arms: "Is it heavy?" I'll get you in. ”

As soon as Gu Mian wanted to say no, he took a big bag of books and held it in his arms, only letting her carry a few boxes of strawberries. Gu Mian smiled and said, "It's okay, if you want to take a trip, I always have to invite you in for a cup of tea." ”

Lu Chen was stunned, was it his delusion? How did he feel that Gu Mian's mood had improved, and he had a feeling that it was raining late.

Suddenly, his eyes froze and he noticed the sparkling diamond ring on her right middle finger.

If I am not mistaken, when Gu Mian played with him in the playground yesterday, he did not have a ring on his hand.

Lu Chen was full of doubts, his eyes fell on Gu Mian's hand from time to time, the afternoon sun was bright and bright, and the diamond ring reflected a dazzling light.

He moved his gaze upwards and stared at the side of her face, the girl's skin was pale, there was a sense of transparency in the bright light, the fine fluff on her face was dyed pale gold, and her long black hair was blown on her face by the wind, a little messy.

She looked so calm and beautiful.

Lu Chen was sure that it was not his own delusion, Gu Mian had really become different from yesterday, the haze that shrouded her dissipated, and a warm sun shone in.

Probably because he had been staring at Gu Mian for too long, she noticed something, turned her head and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Chen looked at the smile on her face and fell silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said nothing.

Gu Mian blinked, making sure he had nothing to say to himself, so he led him into the house.

The sound of the piano echoed in the empty villa, playing intermittently, not very skillful. The sound of the piano came from the upstairs room, and Lu Chen looked at Gu Mian suspiciously.

She explained: "It was Sana who was practising the piano and my mom was supervising and directing her. ”

Sana has extracurricular assignments every weekend, this week she is practicing a piano piece and last week she is studying oil painting. Her aunt was committed to cultivating her into an all-round talent, and enrolled her in many interest classes, music, painting, dance, etc.

Tan Man's piano is very good, just omitting to ask a piano teacher.

Gu Mian asked Lu Chen to sit first, and sent the book back to the upstairs room, and when he passed by the piano room, he heard Saana's pitiful voice: "Please, let me go out and play for a while, my fingers hurt, I promise to practice this song before dinner." ”

Tan Man is not the kind of parent who forces her child to study, and pinched her face when she heard the words: "Okay, then play for a while and then practice." ”

"Hooray!" Sana immediately jumped up and cheered.

Gu Mian stood outside the door and shook his head with a smile, and in the next second, the little girl ran out happily, with a sense of relief that was finally released from the cage.

"Sister!" Sana called sweetly.

"Your brother Jiang came over to give me a reference book, and he also bought strawberries, let's eat them together." Gu Mian took her hand and walked downstairs.

Lu Chen sat alone in the living room, flipping through the books scattered under the coffee table, the hostess of the house was the editor of the publishing house, so there were books everywhere in the house.

This is a writer's autobiography, and before he finished reading a page, Gu Mian came down.

As soon as Sana saw Lu Chen, she let go of Gu Mian's hand and hurriedly ran towards him, the smile on her face was like a sunflower: "You're here!" ”

Lu Chen put down the book, picked her up and put her on the sofa: "When you left last night, you invited me to come back next time, won't I come?" ”

Sana shook her legs and said coquettishly: "Liar, you are here to send something to my sister, not because of my invitation." ”

Lu Chen touched his nose weakly, he didn't expect the little girl to be so shrewd, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I just heard you play the piano." I don't seem to hear what song you're playing. ”

Sana thought that she had played it wrong several times, knowing that he was making fun of her, she covered her face with her two small hands, a little embarrassed: "I wasn't lazy, just because I was a little tired from playing for too long." ”

Lu Chen nodded suspiciously: "Oh, then when are you not tired, play it to me again." ”

Sana raised her head, like a proud little swan, and said confidently: "You wait!" I've won the piano competition in my class! ”

The champion of the piano competition in the class? Listening to her big tone, Lu Chen thought that she had won the world championship.

He didn't tear down the stage either, and patted her on the shoulder very much: "I believe in you!" Come on! ”

Gu Mian stood by the pool washing strawberries, listening to the conversation between the two of them, and only felt that Lu Chen was really patient with children, and she was sometimes a little overwhelmed by Saana's sticky kung fu.

After washing a strawberry and putting it in the box, he turned his head and found that Lu Chen came over at some point, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll help you." ”

"No, no, you're a guest, how embarrassed to let you do it." Gu Mian said, "I'll finish washing it quickly." ”

Lu Chen coughed lightly and whispered: "If I don't find something to do, Sana is going to pull me to play with her Barbie, she wants me to pretend to be Snow White, let me go!" ”

Gu Mian was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at the living room, and sure enough, Sana had already moved out her collection of Disney princess Barbie dolls, as well as their little dresses.

She burst out laughing.

She was also dragged by Sana to play a game of pretending to be a princess, and it is still hard to forget her experience of playing Cinderella, not only to cooperate with the acting, but also to be able to improvise, and pick up her casual nonsense lines, which can drive people crazy in minutes.

Sana set up the Barbie doll over there, but found that Lu Chen was gone, so she said loudly in the direction of the kitchen: "Brother, let's play Snow White's game!" ”

Lu Chen couldn't help but shudder, and his face was full of resistance: "You play by yourself, I'm going to help your sister wash strawberries!" ”

Gu Mian gloated: "I thought nothing could be difficult for you, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you also have today." ”

Lu Chen smiled helplessly, and suddenly proposed: "Otherwise, you go and play princess games with her, and I will stay and wash strawberries." ”

Gu Mian also resisted: "I don't want it." ”

Lu Chen: "To be honest, Gu Mian, you don't want to play that game." ”

Gu Mian was unexpectedly pierced by his thoughts, and immediately choked, silently washing the strawberries in the pot.

Suddenly a strand of hair hung down from her ear, and she shook the droplets of water from her hand, pinned her hair behind her ear, and took off her wrist and tied it in a loose low ponytail.
