Gu Mian treated his wound just now, carefully dipped a little ointment with a sleep stick, and put it on the wound, as if he was afraid that it would hurt him.

In fact, the wound didn't hurt at all, what really hurt him was that he remembered that when he was eight years old, he had suffered an injury that was a hundred times more serious than this. That time, his knee was so bloody that he couldn't even leave, and the woman didn't look back at him, even a glance.

What are you looking for him to do now?

Yesterday afternoon, when he was about to get home, he was full of joy thinking about buying more ingredients and preparing food for her when Gu Mian came over, but he saw the woman in front of the villa.

She was still the same face he remembered, unchanged at all. He used to think that she was the best mother in the world, beautiful and educated, and the friends in the village were very envious of him.

The moment the woman turned her head, Lin Han and Zhao Chengdu were stunned, because Ji Lingchuan looked five points similar to her, especially those eyebrows and eyes.

Even if Ji Lingchuan didn't say it, they all guessed the identity of the woman for the first time.

However, Ji Lingchuan didn't seem to see her, walked forward expressionlessly, opened the door of the villa, and walked straight inside.

Lin Han and Zhao Cheng didn't join in the fun, turned around and drove away.

The car drove away, and seeing that Ji Lingchuan was about to close the door, the woman grabbed his hand and looked at him with red eyes: "Ah Chuan, I'm my mother, don't you remember me?" ”

What Ji Lingchuan thought at the time was that he would rather not remember......

I don't know how long it took, Ji Lingchuan let go of Gu Mian, and found that it was a little late, so he got up and prepared to cook: "My fish fillet hasn't been cut yet." ”

Before he could fully stand up, he was held down by Gu Mian, she looked into his eyes, and did not ask, but said, "Didn't I tell you that the wound can't be wet?" ”

"Then I'll wear gloves."

"I'm here to cook, isn't it just sauerkraut fish? I'll do it. Gu Mian's eyes warned, "You just sit here honestly and don't do anything." ”

His girlfriend's eyes were full of "fierceness", as if if he dared to move again, she would make him look good, so Ji Lingchuan was honest, leaned on the sofa, and handed him a "I'm obedient, don't be angry" look.

Gu Mian's face softened, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen, after washing his hands, he then cut the half of Ji Lingchuan's uncut fish into fillets.

Her knife skills are not as superb as Ji Lingchuan, and she still remembers that Ji Lingchuan has something to hide from herself, so she is a little absent-minded when cutting fish fillets.

After the whole fish was processed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped her hands, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still dialed Zhao Cheng's phone.

Ji's father once told her that Ji Lingchuan doesn't like to tell the people around him about sad things, for fear that he will affect others.

Although she was a little angry at Ji Lingchuan's concealment, she was more worried.

The phone was connected, and Zhao Cheng's voice was full of doubts: "Miss Gu? He couldn't understand how Gu Mian would suddenly call him.

"Well, it's me." Gu Mian's voice was very small, worried that Ji Lingchuan would hear it, "I want to ask you something, did something happen to Ji Lingchuan?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Cheng was confused, "Didn't he go back to Beijing?" What could happen? You're not with him? ”

"No, I mean, is he having some trouble at work, or something, I feel like something is wrong with him. You're his assistant, you've been with him, you should know, right? ”

Something is wrong with Ji Lingchuan......

Zhao Cheng searched through his mind, suddenly remembered something, and said uncertainly: "I don't know if it's because of that." ”

"Which one?"

"Yesterday we came back from the airport and met a woman in front of the villa, Ji Lingchuan looked quite like that woman, maybe his mother. However, he ignored her and walked away. Did their mother and son have a conflict? ”

Even if Zhao Cheng worked as an assistant to Ji Lingchuan for a few years, he still didn't know about his family situation, let alone his parents. He just said his guess based on what he saw with his own eyes yesterday.

Not to mention the assistant, even Gu Mian, if Ji Lingchuan's father hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known about Ji Lingchuan's mother.

Gu Mian pursed his lips, his heart was beating heavily, and he couldn't believe that Ji Lingchuan's mother actually came to him. According to his father, his mother left when he was very young and never came back to see him.

No wonder Ji Lingchuan is so abnormal.

What did his mother come for here? Do you want to recognize Ji Lingchuan? Or is it something else? What did Ji Lingchuan think in his heart?

Too many questions filled Gu Mian's mind, and her thoughts were a mess.

"Miss Gu? Miss Gu? I didn't hear the person on the other side of the phone, Zhao Cheng was a little inexplicable, and called her a few times in a row.

Gu Mian came back to his senses: "I know, thank you." ”

As soon as she hung up the phone, Ji Lingchuan walked over from the living room. He was worried that Gu Mian would not be able to handle the fish well, but he still knew her cooking skills very well.

As soon as Ji Lingchuan entered the kitchen, he saw her eyes staring at a certain place in a daze, he approached quietly, raised his hand and shook it in front of her.

Gu Mian's eyes slowly focused, facing Ling Chuan's face from last season. Is the reason why he is so sad because he remembers what happened when he was a child? If she brought it up at this moment, would it make him even more uncomfortable?

Gu Mian was very entangled in his heart, not knowing whether he should say it or not. She closed her eyes, sighed a little weakly, and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his chest.

Ji Lingchuan was stunned by her sudden closeness, and his two arms were raised high: "Huh? ”

He suddenly remembered that he and Gu Mian were in their hometown, and one day, when she and her father came back from the vegetable garden, she also fell into his arms without warning.

Gu Mian was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I don't know how to cut fish fillets." ”

Ji Lingchuan's eyes fell on the chopping board, she said that she wouldn't cut the fish fillet, but she had already cut it, although it was a little thicker than what he cut, but it didn't affect it.

"That's it?" Ji Lingchuan laughed, "Could it be that classmate Gu Mian feels that his title of 'Xueba' is threatened?" ”

Gu Mian didn't know what he was thinking, and followed his words: "Yes, Xueba can't do everything. At least, she couldn't guess what was going on in his mind.

Ji Lingchuan: "I'll make dinner." ”

Gu Mian withdrew from his arms and put the apron on his body: "I'll do it, you guide me on the side, how about it?" In this way, he will be able to talk to her more and not be cranky alone.

Ji Lingchuan clasped his arms in his hands, like a master who taught apprentices, moved his lips, and said a long list of professional words: "Marinate the fish fillets first, put a little salt, cooking wine, egg whites and starch, and it will take twenty minutes......"

Gu Mian obediently followed the steps he said, and every step was completed perfectly.

Ji Lingchuan gave a thumbs up and praised it: "Not bad, very understanding." ”

Gu Mian: "I've done all the difficult experiments, cooking is nothing to me, as long as I give a detailed tutorial, I can hand in a full score answer sheet." ”

With such self-confidence, he deserves to be a top student, Ji Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "I'm just waiting to taste Gu Mian's craftsmanship." ”

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, he hadn't tasted her craftsmanship, as if she had cooked for him for the first time.

One of the two was responsible for guidance, and the other was responsible for operation, and a sauerkraut fish was quickly prepared and served into a large white porcelain bowl by Gu Mian. Finally, boil a little oil in a pot, take it and pour it on top, and suddenly it sizzles, and the air is filled with a sour and fragrant smell.

Ji Lingchuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, Gu Mian looked at him expectantly, and after a while, his eyebrows stretched and he smiled: "It's perfect, you can be a teacher." ”

Gu Mian was triumphant: "What did I say?" Don't underestimate my cooking skills. ”

The rice was ready, and she quickly made a dish of boiled greens. The little green cabbage was neatly stacked on a square porcelain plate, and she boiled the sauce in the pot, poured it on top, and then announced that it was ready to eat.

You don't need too much food for two people, one serving of sauerkraut fish is enough to eat, appetizing and eating, and a vegetarian dish is even more perfect.

So, Ji Lingchuan ate two bowls of rice very face-savingly.

During the meal, Ji Lingchuan asked, "Are you going back tonight?" ”

Gu Mian was stunned, she has been living at home recently, and it is not good not to go back at night. But she really couldn't rest assured that Ji Lingchuan was alone, thought for a long time, and said, "Don't go back." ”

Ji Lingchuan sandwiched a piece of fish for her, and the smile on his lips couldn't be hidden: "Then stay, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

——

The night was deep, Ji Lingchuan hugged Gu Mian into his arms, she was reading the book in her hand, and he was looking at her.

This is a book that Gu Mian randomly pulled from the study, she didn't turn the page for a long time, Ji Lingchuan seemed to notice: "Haven't finished reading a page yet?" ”

Gu Mian slowly lifted the page, and was about to hold back the words in his heart, when Ji Lingchuan suddenly put his chin on the top of her head and said in a low voice: "I shouldn't have told you about my mother, right?" ”

Gu Mian's chest was stagnant, was he going to confess to her?

"Hmm." She really hadn't heard him mention it, and what she knew was what Ji's father told her.

Ji Lingchuan said some things about his mother in an emotionless tone, exactly the same as what Ji's father once said to Gu Mian. Ji Lingchuan seemed to be relieved, because he was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Hearing these things again, imagining pictures in his mind, Gu Mian's heart was the same as that day, a little bit tightened, and there was a feeling of breathlessness.

After Ji Lingchuan finished speaking, he paused for a long time, and did not hear a response, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms, if he hadn't seen her eyes open, he would have thought she was asleep.

He thought that her reaction when she heard this incident might be shock, stunned, sympathetic, and distressed, but he didn't expect that her eyes were only full of distress, and he was not surprised at all.

Gu Mian's eyelashes drooped, and he didn't hide it: "Actually, I already knew." ”

Ji Lingchuan was stunned: "You, when did you know?" ”

Gu Mian: "When I accompanied you back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year, my father told me." He told me a lot, I'm sorry, Achuan, I'm ...... At that time, I shouldn't have gone to England without telling you, I don't know......"

As she spoke, she was a little incoherent.

Ji Lingchuan put his finger up to her lips: "This is the second time you have said 'sorry' to me today, with our relationship, are you sure you want to tell me this?" ”

The book in Gu Mian's hand had already fallen to his lap and closed automatically. She snuggled into his arms, the tip of her nose sour: "I didn't keep my promise, I let go of your hand, I didn't know it would hurt you." ”

Ji Lingchuan pursed his lips, although he had a moment of discouragement, afraid that Gu Mian would disappear into his world, he never blamed her.

He recalled Gu Mian's attitude towards him during this time, and suddenly understood. Because she learned about those things from her father, she didn't care about his inch, she always met his requests, and some of them were even unreasonable, she just glared at him, and then followed him.
