Chapter 208: Surprise
Xu Qiong was busy in the kitchen with high spirits, while Tan Man silently helped wash the vegetables on the side, putting them under the faucet one by one and rinsing them repeatedly, and then neatly stacked them in the basket, looking very meticulous, but in fact he was distracted.
"Look at this stack of dishes, you can take them to the exhibition." Xu Qiong had already seen that she had something on her mind, put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and said so deliberately.
Tan Man didn't hear it, he was still immersed in washing vegetables, or depressed.
Seeing this, Xu Qiong bumped her with her elbow: "Why are you depressed for the New Year?" ”
After coming back to her senses, she shook her head: "No, I slept too late last night and was a little sleepy." ”
"It's almost as good as you lie to your father." She smiled, "Did Xiao Gu make you angry?" ”
Tan Man frowned, when it came to who provoked her, Gu Mochen did seem to account for most of the reasons, but she didn't say it, she only told Xu Qiong about meeting Lin Jiaming just now.
Xu Qiong heard this and sighed: "Just make it clear, if you don't look at the right eye, no wonder anyone, don't care too much." ”
Tan Man nodded and didn't say anything more.
After lunch, Gu Mochen still didn't have a phone, although he didn't have the frequency of greeting morning, noon and evening before, but Tan Man always felt that it was not a good feeling in his heart.
She thinks she's not the kind of clingy girlfriend, but last night, it was her rare courage to tell him her heartfelt feelings, even if he is a quiet person, in the face of his girlfriend's first confession, he should be a little excited, and some responses.
When a person gets into the tip of the horns, he usually goes all the way to the dark.
The more Tan Man thought about it, the more angry she became, the more aggrieved she became, she sat cross-legged on the sofa, staring at WeChat, while thinking, the ghost sent her heart to the past:
"Don't you want me?"
The prompt sound "boom", the fingers trembled, and I was in a hurry to find the withdrawal button subconsciously, but after thinking about it, I still put the phone down.
It's normal for a girlfriend and boyfriend to be coquettish, what are you cowardly!
When she was convincing herself with 'coquettish women are the cutest', Gu Mochen's phone chased after her.
"Thinking about me again?" The phone was answered, and he went straight to the point, with a vague smile in his tone.
"I'm asking you!" Tan Man was angry.
Gu Mochen chuckled and changed the topic casually: "What did you do in the morning?" ”
In fact, after hearing his voice, those grievances disappeared inexplicably, so that as soon as he changed his words, she answered obediently.
"Watching a community show."
"Alone?"
"And my dad!"
"Just with your dad?"
"Or else?!"
Gu Mochen paused, and then asked, "Are you at home now?" ”
"Hmm." Because he didn't answer, she was still a little angry.
"Is it inconvenient for Fang to come out?"
"Huh?"
At this time, Gu Mochen couldn't care about it so much, and said, "Ten minutes later, go downstairs." ”
In the ten minutes after hanging up the phone, Tan Man's mind and body were obviously disconnected.
Ten minutes, it was not enough to even comb her hair well, she was excited about the fact that he came to Suzhou, and at the same time hurriedly turned up the wardrobe, even if her knee hit the corner of the table twice in a row, she frowned 'hiss', and didn't care about crying out in pain.
After changing his clothes and looking at himself in the mirror, he regretted for the first time that he didn't learn from Master Qiao Ning about her 'five minutes to teach you to create quick makeup', so he could only wipe his lips with lipstick and step out of the door.
Running downstairs like the wind, out of the foyer, he immediately slowed down, smoothed his hair, and walked towards the door of the community calmly.
The winter afternoon is always the most charming, the strong sunlight sprinkles down, dilutes in the branches and leaves, and becomes countless dazzling pearls rolling to the ground; Some of them shot on the iron billboard hanging high outside the gate of the community, turning into a dazzling but warm thin line that dazzled people's eyes.
She stepped on the shadow, walked briskly, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the long figure outside the door of the community.
Gu Mochen stood tall beside the black car, his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, graceful, handsome and chic, in the shade of the trees, like a landscape, just one glance made her heart beat out of rhythm.
When Tan Man ran towards him, he subconsciously grinned and smiled like a flower, and the questions that were still entangled in the last second, the questions about whether you miss me and how much you miss me, all disappeared.
Gu Mochen's dark eyes were soaked with tenderness, and when she stood in front of her, the corners of her lips were hooked, and that smile turned into the most gentle comfort, smoothing out the uneasiness and longing that the distance had brought her.
"Why did you come, when did you come, why did you come all of a sudden?" She looked up at him with her head tilted and looked at him with joy in her heart.
He laughed: "If I don't come again, you should lose your temper." ”
"How can I!" Tan Man's face wrinkled, and he lowered his head awkwardly.
"Who sent me the questioning text just now?" Gu Mochen took a step forward, bent down slightly towards her, and reached out to hook her chin, "Okay, raise your head, I haven't seen you for so long, let me take a good look." ”
With the sudden touch, Tan Man's whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and he stood stiffly in place, his eyes flickering left and right, not daring to look at him directly.
I only heard him sigh: "Manman, if it weren't for being on the street now, if it weren't for Xiaobei watching in the car, I really wanted to ...... Hold you in your arms. ”
Tan Man took a deep breath and met his eyes, which were so focused and hot, it easily made her boil, but after boiling, it made her settle down.
She coughed lightly, but still shyly looked away, and whispered, "Then bear with it." ”
Gu Mochen laughed out loud and couldn't help but touch the top of her head: "Let's go, get in the car and say." He turned around and opened the passenger door for her, watched her get into the car, and then detoured to the cab.
As soon as Tan Man got in the car, Gu Zhoubei couldn't wait to shout out with a crisp "vine".
"Little North...... Happy New Year! Tan Man looked at the little boy in the back row with a smile, she hadn't seen her for almost a month, the little guy seemed to be more sophisticated, she took out a red envelope from her coat pocket and handed it over, "Come, my sister will seal a red envelope for you, I wish you a happy New Year!" ”
At this time, Gu Mochen stepped into the carriage with long legs, and the next second the whole person sat in, he looked at his younger brother from the rearview mirror, and said, "I received a red envelope, shouldn't I say something good?" ”
Xiaobei hesitated: "Then I wish Manman, uh ......, Happy New Year, grow up slowly!" ”
Tan Man frowned and asked him funny, "What does it mean to grow up slowly?" ”
"Wait for me!" Xiaobei said with a serious face, "Brother said, you are her girlfriend now, Manman, when I grow up, you can also be my girlfriend." ”
Tan Man couldn't help laughing, glanced at Gu Mochen next to her, the other party smiled slyly, she turned her head, reached out and pinched Xiaobei's face, teasing him: "Then can you tell me, why do you want me to be your girlfriend?" ”
"Because you're white-skinned, pretty, and love to play with me, I like it."
Tan Man thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "When you grow up, I guess you will have wrinkles crawling at the corners of your eyes, and spots on your face, not pretty, and I don't have the strength to play with you, at that time, you won't like me." ”
Gu Zhoubei frowned, as if he was weighing and considering this issue, and after a few seconds, he asked again: "What about my brother, my brother won't like it anymore." ”
Tan Man glanced at Gu Mochen and said proudly: "At that time, your brother will only be uglier than me, with more wrinkles on his face!" ”
Gu Zhoubei fell into contemplation again, and Gu Mochen smiled: "Okay, don't instill these improper thoughts in children." He turned his head and touched Xiaobei's head again, and said, "Didn't I tell you, Manman is my girlfriend, and when you grow up, you will naturally find your girlfriend!" ”
Tan Man saw his depressed face and said, "Sister will take you to eat something delicious, okay?" ”
The little one nodded, and came to life again the moment he heard the food.
"You've been out for so long, is it okay?" Gu Mochen turned his head sideways and asked.
"My dad is taking a nap, usually until three or four o'clock, it's okay."
Gu Mochen looked at his watch, it was less than thirty, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then show the way." ”
Tan Man took them to a nearby teahouse, there are not many places open during the Chinese New Year, so the guests here are quite full, she and the store ordered a pot of Biluochun, and added a few kinds of pastries and snacks that children love to eat.
This teahouse is on the second floor, the decoration is antique, the windows facing the street are carved wooden windows, looking down at the traffic on the street, although it is a teahouse, but also humanely designed a children's area, although there is a slide and wooden horse that does not match well, but it is also to allow adults who bring children to drink tea to chat cleanly. At the first sight of Xiaobei, he couldn't wait to rush over there.
After Tan Man finished ordering something, he realized that he had gone out empty-handed, so he winked at Gu Mochen and said faintly:
"I'm in for a treat, you pay for it, I didn't go out with my wallet!"
Gu Mochen chuckled and didn't speak.
"I didn't mean to, I was in too much of a hurry to go out and forgot." She innocently brushed the bangs on her forehead.
"It's the same with or without it."
“……”
The shopkeeper quickly brought up an alcohol lamp tea stove and a set of professional tea sets, and Tan Man began to brew tea.
Gu Mochen watched from the side, her slender and fair-skinned fingers fiddled with the tea set, put in the tea leaves, slowly added hot water, shook the tea soup evenly, precipitated the tea residues, carefully divided the tea soup, and brought the cup on the far right to him, the technique was similar to the professional waiter when he used to drink tea in the teahouse, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised,
"Unexpectedly, in addition to being white-skinned and beautiful, my girlfriend can also make tea."
Tan Man glanced at him, and left the cup of tea on the left for himself.
"When are you coming, are you leaving in the afternoon, why don't you call me?"
"I went to your house in the morning, and it turned out to be ......," he paused with his eyelids raised, the meaning of which could not be found in his eyes, "you happen to be busy." ”
Tan Man had an epiphany and looked at him with wide eyes: "That Audi...... Are you really? ”
