Lu Chen couldn't help but smile as he watched the two of them arguing like kindergarten children.

If only Gu Mian could be as happy as he is now every day.

He was distracted, and Gu Mian pushed the carton containing chicken legs in front of him: "You eat this, otherwise this girl will eat her own in a while, and she will eat this regardless of her own appetite." ”

Lu Chen: "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Gu Mian: "I'll just eat chicken wings." ”

"Really? How do I remember when you were a kid and you almost got into a fight with me over a chicken leg. Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

Gu Mian raised his eyes in astonishment.

When did this happen?

Lu Chen knew she didn't remember when he saw her expression: "Or on your sixth birthday, we sneaked into the kitchen before we played the game of throwing bears......"

Gu Mian was not raised to be a famous lady since she was a child, Gu Mochen and Tan Man loved their only daughter very much, and did not restrain her childhood nature. So, she was very naughty before she really sensible.

That day, she took Lu Chen to explore the Gu family's kitchen, and it happened that the chef went out to get the ingredients, and there was no one inside.

There is a grilled chicken leg on a white porcelain plate on the cooking table, which has not yet had time to be sliced, because the chef is so skilled that he can smell the aroma without approaching it.

Gu Mian grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite, the delicacy made her eyes narrow with satisfaction.

At that time, although Lu Chen was dressed like an adult in a small suit, he was still a child at heart, watching her chew on chicken legs and swallow her saliva quietly.

However, there was no extra chicken leg on the plate, Gu Mian saw that he also wanted to eat, and she, who was very shared, took the initiative to hand it over to him to bite, but who knew that he tore off a large piece of meat in one bite.

She glared at him angrily, and raised her chicken leg to chase him......

Lu Chen couldn't help but smile when he said this.

Gu Mian was a little embarrassed, she actually did something to beat someone for chicken legs when she was a child, she really couldn't imagine it.

In fact, she doesn't remember what he said, except that she threw a teddy bear in the garden with him, and he accidentally threw her bear into the fountain pool, and she cried.

Gu Mian said: "I didn't expect you to have such a good memory, and you still remember things so clearly for so long." ”

Listening to his description, he remembered even her expression and movements at that time, as if it were yesterday for him.

Lu Chen seemed to be still remembering, and said without thinking about it: "I remember everything about you." ”

Gu Mian was stunned for a moment, and the eyes that looked at him became strange.

Lu Chen reacted, suddenly became nervous, and secretly said that he was talking nonsense, he quickly explained: "I mean, my memory is very good, whether it is your business or other things, I remember it very clearly." ”

Gu Mian didn't think much about it, and stared at Sana to stop eating after eating a chicken leg.

In the afternoon, we continued to explore the other activities of the playground until we were exhausted and the few were ready to go back.

Who knew that the heavens were not beautiful, and suddenly it rained.

Dense raindrops fell on the windshield, quickly blurring the vision.

The wipers swept around, and there was a subtle sound. Sana leaned down the window and looked out, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we came out of the playground, and it will be drenched in soup after a while." ”

Gu Mian pointed to her somewhat damp skirt: "Didn't you already get drenched in soup when you played pirate ship?" ”

Sana choked, and the staff issued a disposable raincoat before the Shanghai Pirate Ship, but unfortunately she broke it and got her clothes wet.

They went to the cake shop to pick up the birthday cake, went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa gate.

Lu Chen got out of the car first, stretched out the big black umbrella, went around to the other side and opened the car door, blocking them overhead.

Gu Mian was carrying a big cake, and when she got out of the car, she tripped and found that the shoelaces had fallen apart at some point, and she almost tripped if she accidentally stepped on it.

Lu Chen also noticed it and handed her the umbrella.

Gu Mian didn't know why, so he subconsciously took the umbrella from his hand and moved it a little above Sana's head to prevent the little girl from getting wet.

Before she could react, Lu Chen squatted down and picked up the wet shoelaces that were dragged on the ground. Gu Mian was startled and wanted to withdraw his feet, but he stopped him with a voice: "Don't move." Gu's face is very slippery with rainwater, and you have to walk a little Gu when you enter from the door, so you can easily fall. ”

He quickly fastened his shoelaces, stood up and took the umbrella from Gu Mian's hand: "Let's go." ”

The backs of the three disappeared into the hazy rain curtain, and no one noticed that Ji Lingchuan was standing on the other side of Ma Gu, holding a transparent umbrella.

He looked at the white villa in a daze, and thought of many scenes of seeing Gu Mian, but he didn't think of this one.

His legs were a little stiff, and even he didn't know how long he had been standing here, only that he couldn't wait to find this place according to the address given by Tan Zhen after getting off the plane.

He didn't dare to rush forward and knock on the door, because he wasn't sure about Gu Mian's attitude, the only thing he could do was to wait here, hoping that she would come out of it.

It hadn't rained yet when he came, and when the first drops of rain fell on his face, he went to the convenience store and bought an umbrella.

Gu Mian finally appeared, but instead of coming out of the house, he came back from outside.

It turned out that she was out with her friends, and the little girl was wearing a cartoon headband on her head, as if she had gone to a playground or something.

Ji Lingchuan lowered his eyes, and the image of the boy squatting down to tie Gu Mian's shoes lingered in his mind.

He suddenly retreated, for the current Gu Mian, maybe he needed someone who was by her side all the time, took her out for a walk, accompanied her to buy cakes, and held an umbrella for her on a rainy day.

Unlike him, it was as difficult to even see her in person.

——

In the villa, Tan Man was sitting in a wheelchair, and was about to call Gu Mian, wanting to ask her where she was, but in the next second, there was a sound of the door lock turning, accompanied by Sana's voice: "We're back!" ”

Tan Qian's wife, Alisa, had already prepared a few big dishes, and when they came back, they would stir-fry a few more dishes before they could start the meal.

Because her husband is Chinese, there will always be Chinese food on the family table, braised pork ribs, boiled beef, and potato stewed chicken are her specialty dishes, and the taste is very authentic.

When Gu Mian came in, Tan Man stared at the person behind her, this boy was ......

Without waiting for her to ask, Lu Chen took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello Auntie, I am Gu Mian's friend Lu Chen, and I came here rashly hoping not to disturb you." ”

Tan Man didn't expect Gu Mian to have classmates here, and he was still such a handsome male classmate. She and Gu Mochen used to be busy with work, and they didn't know what good friends their daughter had, only Su Xiaomi, who came to the house as a guest. They also trusted Gu Mian's judgment and never interfered with her friendship.

Lu Chen: "Maybe you should know my uncle, his name is Xiang Yifeng." ”

As soon as he mentioned Xiang Yifeng, Tan Man knew. If Tan Zhen hadn't divorced, this boy would be her nephew.

Gu Mian added in due course: "We were classmates in high school, he was the president of our class, and he is currently studying architecture at Cambridge. ”

Lu Chen said: "When you apply, we can continue to be classmates." ”

Tan Man stayed on his face for a few seconds, seemed to see something, smiled and said, "Don't stand still, let's sit down and eat." ”

She expertly maneuvered the wheelchair around and beckoned them to move to the cafeteria.

Seeing this, Gu Mian hurriedly put down the cake and went over to help her mother push the wheelchair.

Tan Qian got off work an hour ago, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he brought the prepared dishes to the table, and when Alisa finished frying the remaining dishes, everyone sat down one by one.

Alisa also opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate, and Gu Mian thought of the amount of wine he had poured in a glass, and consciously drank orange juice with Sana.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a long-lost happiness, and Tan Man also let go of the obstacles in her heart and was happy that her daughter was a year older.

When the meal was almost finished, I began to cut the cake.

Alisa took a few plates in the center of the dining table and placed a three-tiered cake on it, Tan Qian and his wife plugged in the candle and lit it, and turned off the crystal lamp above her head.

The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the dining room, and Gu Mian watched as his mother folded the golden crown made of paper, and lowered her head slightly, so that she could wear it on top of her head.

Alisa said softly, "Sleepy, make a wish." ”

Gu Mian clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a birthday wish for this year in the flickering candlelight.

One wishes that my mother's legs can get better soon, and the other wishes ...... Achuan can do everything.

After a few moments, she opened her eyes, got up and blew out the candle, stared at the cake for a moment, and at Sana's urging, cut it with a knife.

The little girl ate the little rabbit made of strawberries that she longed for, and wore her sister's crown, and was so happy that she felt like she was celebrating her birthday.

In the dead of night, Gu Mian sat at the desk in the room, in front of him was a thick book of exam preparation materials, densely packed with English, and some rare words were marked by her.

She read it for almost half an hour, and she didn't turn a page.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, she never dared to slack off in the month she came to the UK, and today she went out to relax for a day because of her birthday. She shouldn't have wasted her time, but she couldn't concentrate.

Gu Mian put down the pen and picked up the mobile phone next to her, which was bought for her by her uncle after coming to the UK, and the mobile phone number was also renewed, without installing QQ and WeChat, there were only five people in the address book, in addition to uncle, aunt, mother, aunt, and one was Lu Chen.

The reason why Lu Chen was able to contact her was because he found Xiang Yifeng, and Xiang Yifeng asked for her number through Tan Zhen.

Today is the 28th, and Ji Lingchuan said that the movie will be completed at the end of June at the latest, so is he finished?

Gu Mian bit her lower lip, her fingers were uncontrollable, and she skillfully entered one number at a time, and she could recite Ji Lingchuan's number if she turned it upside down.

When she pressed the last number, she paused.

She was suddenly a little scared, what if he was still busy, she was afraid of disturbing him like last time......

The scene of that afternoon kept repeating in her mind, and Gu Mian hesitated until the screen went out and her phone was still not broadcast.

She got up and walked to the window, her fingers gripping the curtain and trying to close it, but she saw something shining on the glass, and she touched her neck.

It turned out to be the light reflected by the star that fell at the bottom of the necklace.

This was given to her by Ji Lingchuan on her birthday last year, and she went abroad in a hurry, except for the necessary documents and materials, she only brought this necklace with her.
