Chapter 217: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day advertisements and jokes are all over the Internet all day long, she has always paid attention to it, but she just doesn't take it seriously, these days with Gu Mochen are tired of being together, every day is like Valentine's Day, she doesn't realize at all that on this day, they still need another grand treatment.

Tan Manleng paused, a little innocent, and a little weak-hearted: "I'...... I know. ”

"You know?" He walked over and pulled over the chair she was sitting in, propped his hands on the back of the chair, and looked down at her.

The strong pressure was approaching, Tan Man instinctively leaned back, raised his head, and winked at him: "I really know, it's just, it's just that I thought that a busy person like you, a lawyer, could accompany me to spend such a little girl's holiday, so I agreed to Qiao Ning." ”

Gu Mochen nodded, straightened up, filled himself with a bowl of porridge, and drank it to himself.

"Don't be disappointed." Tan Man reached out and tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile, "We still have half a day." ”

Gu Mochen snorted and looked up at her in frustration: "What time did you make an appointment with her in the afternoon?" ”

"She left work at two o'clock and made an appointment at three."

"Well, I'll send you there then."

Tan Man pursed his lips: "Then what are we doing today?" ”

"Rest at home."

"Resting at home?" Her eyes widened, "And what about your original plan?" ”

"It's just resting at home."

"Really?"

The other party nodded calmly.

Tan Man cut off: "Since there is no arrangement, then I will go out with Qiao Ning, why do you look very disappointed." ”

He swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "Resting at home is also a kind of date, but you have to break the appointment now." ”

"Okay, then I'll compensate you."

Gu Mochen raised his head and looked at her with interest.

She thought for a moment, "How about I'll make you a delicious meal at noon?" ”

He raised an eyebrow, "Okay." ”

After breakfast, the two of them went downstairs to the vegetable market in the community, bought a fish, bought some lean meat, and picked a few side dishes. Along the way, Tan Man had a smile in her eyes, and visiting the vegetable market with her lover was one of her top ten compulsory projects for love, which was like experiencing the ordinary life after marriage in advance.

When he got home, Tan Man asked Gu Mochen to sit on the sofa and wait for food, then turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Gu Mochen kept smiling and silent, standing by the kitchen door looking like she was waiting to watch the show, just the preparation before getting out of the pot had already made her a little at a loss, and he probably guessed her level.

"Don't force it, just wash your hands and take the dishes and chopsticks out of the sterilizer." Seeing that she was holding a knife and was about to attack the lean meat, Gu Mochen walked over from behind, rolled up his sleeves and took the job from her.

Tan Man was unwilling and refused to back down: "I can do it!" ”

"I know you can, but I'm really hungry." While speaking, Gu Mochen had already begun to cut the meat, and his movements were skillful and fast.

She squinted and chirped, "It's not good for you to be like this, you despise me nakedly." ”

Gu Mochen stopped what he was doing, raised his eyelids and looked at her: "I feel sorry for you." ”

Hearing this, Tan Man pursed his lips, trying not to show his happiness too obviously: "Then make it clear, it's not that I won't, it's you who won't let me!" ”

"Hmm." Gu Mochen smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded, "I won't let it!" ”

As a result, the compensation that was promised turned into Gu Mochen getting three dishes and one soup in the kitchen alone.

"Isn't there usually Aunt Chen, where did you practice your cooking skills, New Oriental has been specially trained?" Tan Man held a bowl of fish soup and drank it with relish.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Mochen asked humbly.

Tan Man smiled sweetly, and her mouth was even sweeter: "It's delicious, and it tastes like love." ”

"I couldn't afford to hire an aunt in the first place." He said, "When I first graduated, I had a stomach problem after eating fast food, and when I became conscious, I learned to make something simple by myself, but then I was busy with work and didn't have time to study cooking, so I can only cook these home-cooked dishes." ”

"I really want to travel back in time and space to see what kind of three heads and six arms you had a few years ago, taking Xiaobei while working."

He smiled bitterly: "It's too busy to look back." ”

……

After the meal, the two cleaned up together and put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, which was almost noon.

"Are you sleepy, do you want to sleep for a while?" Gu Mochen asked very casually.

Tan Man was inexplicably a little embarrassed, and immediately shook his head: "I'm not sleepy." ”

He smiled, didn't care, and sat on the sofa with her in his arms, Tan Man leaned on his chest, holding the remote control, and changed the station aimlessly.

"Have you had any problems with your ears lately, and do you need regular check-ups?" Gu Mochen's chin rested against the top of her head, and his fingers caressed the pinna of her left ear.

Tan Man stopped what he was doing, and the screen stopped on the science and education channel, showing the animal world.

Since becoming a couple, the topic of ears has never been raised, and sometimes Tan Man will think about it more, he keeps his mouth shut, whether he is running away or really doesn't care, but she has never had the right opportunity to ask.

"There's nothing wrong with that, and you don't usually need to check it." She looked up at him, "What's wrong?" ”

"If you want to check it out later, I'll go with you."

She thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember, once we went to the book city to buy materials for Xiaobei's New Year's party, and you said that if you had the choice, you would not find a defective partner." ”

Gu Mochen guessed that she would ask this, lowered his head and pecked her temple, letting go of her: "You wait for me for a while." ”

Tan Man watched as he got up and walked back to the room, and walked out again a few seconds later, holding something in his hand.

Sitting cross-legged next to her again, he spread his palms: "Remember this?" ”

In the broad palm of the hand, there is a small pocket-sized button, in the shape of a pink star, familiar but I don't remember what it is.

"The first night you came here, I was drunk."

As soon as he said this, Tan Man suddenly said: "I remembered, this is mine!" ”

The corners of Gu Mochen's lips hooked and nodded: "I can't remember what I did to you at that time, did I tear it off?" ”

"What do you say?" Tan Man snorted.

"Do you need me to apologize?" He smiled slyly, "But I don't want to apologize, but I want to thank you, maybe it's this little star that has been pulling me towards you." ”

She was stunned.

Gu Mochen's expression became serious: "So far, I think that there is nothing wrong with pursuing perfection, I admit that the matter of your ears has made me hesitate, contradictory, and timid, but watching Xiaobei become cheerful day by day, watching this house gradually become more vibrant, my life began to have other expectations other than work, that expectation, it is you, it is you who have changed all this, changed me and Xiaobei, I can no longer restrain my desire for you, even if your ears can't hear it." ”

Tan Man's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he whispered: "Maybe, it's not like it, it's just because I helped Xiaobei and brought a little change to your two lives, do you think...... Grateful? ”

When Gu Mochen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh a little: "I can still distinguish between feelings and gratitude." ”

"......" She opened her mouth slightly, closed it again, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He stretched out his hand and hugged her tighter: "I like you, whether you can hear it or not, I like it, my perfectionism, it's in you, it's completely ineffective, what I see in my eyes is your beauty." ”

"Don't be upset, huh?" He brushed away the black hair from her ear, and her small ears were completely exposed, and Gu Mochen gently dropped a kiss on it, "You don't have to cover it up in the future, it's really beautiful." ”

Tan Man drilled into his arms, and in the face of his sweet words, he was really powerless to parry.

After a moment, she poked her head out and reached out to him, "Should you give me back my buttons?" ”

Gu Mochen smiled, and a small box came from behind her and put it in her hand.

"I'll trade this for you, and the button is mine."

Tan Man looked at the boxy box in his hand, and was shocked, and his first reaction was,

It can't be a ring,

Valentine's Day proposal?

Isn't this going a little fast?

Will she take it or not?

Gu Mochen smiled: "Don't think it's so complicated. He opened the box for her.

Although it wasn't a ring, it was enough to surprise her.

A pair of star-shaped pink diamond earrings in the same shape as her buttons lay quietly in a dark purple flannel box, at first glance, they really looked like stars in the sky, twinkling and smiling at her.

"Last time I went to Hong Kong on a business trip, I saw it at the airport for the first time, and I wanted to buy it and give it to you, do you like it?"

When he went to Hong Kong, they didn't seem to be together yet.

Tan Man hesitated: "I like it, but, it's too precious." ”

The smile on his lips deepened: "Valentine's Day gift." ”

"But I didn't have a present." After Tan Man finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the shirt he bought with Qiao Ning before New Year's Day, and he didn't dare to give it away, so that he was forgotten in the wardrobe later, "No, I also prepared a gift for you, put it at home, and I'll give it to you when I go back later." ”

"You're going back in a moment?"

"Go back." She tugged at her clothes, "I didn't take a shower last night, so I was uncomfortable." ”

……

An hour later, the black car drove into the old community where Tan Man lived, perhaps because of Valentine's Day, and most of the parking spaces in the yard were empty. After parking the car, the two of them walked towards the staircase, Tan Man snuggled Gu Mochen intimately, and the whole person couldn't wait to hang on him, Gu Mochen smiled indulgently.

As soon as she walked to the eaves, the iron door on the first floor opened with a "clang", and Xue Yuelan walked out of it with a thermos box and met the two head-on.

"Aunt Lan!"

Tan Man stopped and shouted enthusiastically.

Gu Mochen also stopped,

When his gaze fell on Xue Yuelan's face, the corners of his mouth that had been hooked froze on his face, and his complexion sank in an instant.

"It's a vine, I haven't seen you for the New Year." Xue Yuelan's gaze naturally fell on Gu Mochen next to her, looked at it, and saw the two of them holding hands together, "Yo, this is, boyfriend?" ”

Tan Man didn't notice Gu Mochen's changes, and nodded generously: "Well, boyfriend." ”

Although Xue Yuelan felt a little regretful in her heart, she was also happy for her, looked at Gu Mochen, and praised: "You look so handsome, you are a local, right?" ”

Gu Mochen opened his eyes a second before her gaze moved.

"Yes, locals."

"That's a good dare, I have a root here, and I can take good care of you."

Tan Man looked up with a smile and glanced at the people around him, only to see that his face always glanced to the other side, as if he was a little impatient, she tugged at his arm, Gu Mochen looked back at her, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She was a little inexplicable, her smile immediately retracted, paused, and said, "Aunt Lan, we still have something to do, go up first." ”

Xue Yuelan glanced at Gu Mochen with a serious face again, and responded embarrassedly.
