Chapter 197: The Taste of Love
Although Tan Weiguo's mouth is not flexible, his brain is still very bright, and his daughter who is on the phone under the big tree has a smile on her face from beginning to end, which makes him both happy and worried.
"Dad, the sun is almost over, we should go back." Tan Man opened the wheelchair lock and said.
"Male, male...... Friend? Tan Weiguo raised his eyebrows with some difficulty and looked at his daughter.
With a weak heart, Tan Man pushed the wheelchair and said: "Dad, you can guess this problem for the past two days, I don't have a boyfriend, really, I called, that's a ...... A colleague asked me when it would be convenient to go back and hand over the work. ”
Tan Man took the opportunity to mention to his father that he was going back to Shanghai: "Speaking of work, Dad, I have to go back tomorrow, this time I am in a hurry, there is really a lot of work to be done at the school, but don't worry, I will explain to Aunt Xu and the nurses, let them take good care of you in the past two days, and I will try to come back the day after tomorrow." ”
Tan Weiguo didn't say anything, sat in a wheelchair sullenly, and was pushed back to the ward.
Mickey badge, Tan Man naturally couldn't find it on the sofa in the ward, but the next morning, she bought a ticket, didn't wait for anything, and got on the car back to Shanghai lightly, just because he said that he was going on a business trip the day after tomorrow.
After hesitating all the way, when he was about to arrive in Shanghai, he sent a WeChat message to Gu Mochen, telling him that he was now on his way back to Shanghai, but he did not receive a reply.
Although I only have a small hope of one percent to meet him, I am inevitably a little disappointed when I look at the quiet mobile phone.
When she arrived at the station, she stopped a taxi home, and after calling her father to report that she was safe, she leaned on the back seat of the car and fell asleep.
In a daze, I woke up from the shock of my mobile phone, and I didn't see who was calling, so I put it directly to my ear and lazily picked it up.
"Hey."
"It's me, you're in Shanghai now?"
Gu Mochen's voice instantly woke her up for the most part, she sat up straight, and said, "Well, I just arrived, and I'm taking a taxi home." ”
"Okay." After the other party said "good", he hung up the phone, Tan Man looked dazed, but there was still a hint of joy.
The car drove into the familiar community and paid, Tan Man jumped out of the car and bumped into Zhang Jiakai who was walking towards him.
Happy to meet the enemy, Tan Man couldn't help but smile, thinking about it, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a while.
When Zhang Jiakai saw Tan Man, he was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised, but soon returned to a nonchalant look: "Little bit, I thought you were kidnapped and missing, and I was thinking about whether to call the police." ”
Tan Man laughed out loud, her recent life is really depressing, and this long-lost feeling of joking with each other is so beautiful.
"You've just been kidnapped." Seeing that he was dressed in white casual down, with a pair of jeans, his hair was specially styled with hairspray, and his hands were inserted into his trouser pockets, as always, he loved to be handsome, Tan Man couldn't help but want to tease him.
Standing on tiptoe and reaching out to his hair, he made a fuss: "It's a year older after the New Year, why are you still so stinky and beautiful?" ”
"Don't touch my hair!" Zhang Jiakai shook off her hand and looked her up and down several times: "I still want to say, it's been a New Year, why are you even more deflated, it's a waste of national food." ”
", the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Tan Man snorted, pretending to be angry and walked towards the stairs.
"Hey!" Zhang Jiakai grabbed her long red woolen scarf, "Come back!" ”
Tan Man snickered proudly, turned his head and pretended to be indignant, deliberately picked up the trademark of the scarf and handed it to him, raised his voice and said: "Don't pull my scarf, famous brand, it's expensive, say something quickly!" ”
Zhang Jiakai frowned, glanced at the white label on her big red scarf with disdain, and asked lazily: "Seriously, where have you been recently, I've been here several times, and your house doesn't turn on the lights, should you have a boyfriend and live together?!" ”
Boyfriend, boyfriend, why is it that everyone around her has been mentioning boyfriends to her recently?!
Tan Man gave him a roll of his eyes: "Don't ruin my reputation!" ”
"My mom has asked you several times."
Speaking of Aunt Lan, Tan Man suddenly remembered something, "ah", subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, and said excitedly: "I haven't given her the rent for this quarter, you go back and tell her, I will pay it in two days." ”
"All the fuss, I thought something bad was going on." Zhang Jiakai glanced at her with contempt, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and deliberately did not agree, "I won't say, or you will go home with me now, she happens to be here at this time, you pay the rent, and by the way, explain to her your recent crimes." ”
Tan Man raised his hand and slashed down at his shoulder, Zhang Jiakai didn't have time to hide, he grinned in pain and cursed, took her hand and pinched her face: "Do you want to murder, and you don't weigh how many catties and taels you have." ”
Tan Man rubbed his cheeks, gritted his teeth, smiled and struggled and was about to fight back, when a long figure broke into sight, and the whole person froze in place for a moment.
"How do you ...... Here it comes? ”
Tan Man was shocked, looked at Gu Mochen not far away, stammered when he spoke, quickly adjusted his limbs, and stood up straight seriously, like a warrior.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiakai turned around,
A strange man was staring straight in their direction, silent, expressionless, and his instinct told him that there was a slight hint of hostility on the other side.
Zhang Jiakai raised his eyebrows, retracted his gaze, and lowered his head to ask Tan Man: "Who is this?" ”
Looking away from Gu Mochen, Tan Man glanced at Zhang Jiakai and said softly: "A friend, I won't tell you first, you remember to go back and tell Aunt Lan about the rent." ”
Zhang Jiakai didn't have time to say anything more, and the person in front of him was already rushing towards the gate.
Tan Mancai didn't have time to take care of Zhang Jiakai behind him, stood in front of Gu Mochen, and raised his head with a smile: "Why did you come, I thought you were at work." ”
Gu Mochen's expression was very serious, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the big boy standing at the top of the stairs, before he looked down at her and asked in a calm voice, "Am I bothering you?" ”
Tan Man shook his head like a rattle: "How come, he is the son of my landlord, and he just happened to meet downstairs." ”
It turned out to be the landlord's son,
Gu Mochen temporarily withdrew the defensive line, and the expression on his face relaxed.
The sun was on the top of her head, just hitting her black hair, eyebrows, nose bridge, and lips, like a delicate porcelain doll, so beautiful that Gu Mochen's heart suddenly moved.
"You're here for me?" Tan Man asked.
He paused: "Just passing by here, you said you were back, so I stopped by to take a look." ”
It turned out to be a dropway,
Tan Man shrugged his shoulders to hide the sudden loss, inhaled and smiled: "Oh." ”
Gu Mochen frowned slightly.
"It's time for dinner, let's have lunch together?" He asked.
Tan Man suddenly remembered the last time, she also asked him this question, but he refused, at that time, the two were in an awkward period, but now, ambiguous period?
"Got an appointment?" Gu Mochen saw that she was hesitating and asked again.
She pursed her lips, but decided not to be hypocritical: "Let's go!" ”
It's not that all people who take the initiative will not be cherished in the end, besides, I don't call it initiative, at most generous.
Tan Man thought so and got into his car.
She didn't drive far before she stopped at a western restaurant near her home.
"Eating Western food?" She asked.
"Don't like it?" He asked.
"No, let's go." Tan Man smiled.
Eating Western food at this time really made her feel that the two had entered an ambiguous period, watching him get out of the car with long legs, confident and elegant, she was really afraid that she couldn't control herself, and rushed up to confess in the next second.
The restaurant environment is very good, quiet and elegant, after the two of them chose a window seat and took a seat, after ordering a meal, Gu Mochen took out a seven-inch photo-sized cardboard from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Tan Man.
"What is this?"
"Xiao Nan made it, a New Year's gift for you."
Tan Man took it, it turned out to be a sticker card made with a photo of the three of them, and it also read "Manman, Happy New Year" with children's jerky strokes, she smiled and accepted it happily.
"You came along the way, and you still have it with you?"
Gu Mochen paused for a few seconds: "Because I have been putting it in the car before." ”
Tan Man's eyes were full of smiles: "Oh, then thank Xiao Nan for me, no, I'll call him at night and say it in person." ”
"The business trip time has changed, I will fly to Hong Kong at seven o'clock tonight, and I will tell him."
"In such a hurry?" Her eyes widened, "Then we saw it in time." ”
Gu Mochen looked at her straight for a few seconds, lowered his eyelids, and smiled meaningfully.
At this time, the waiter served the food, interrupting the conversation, foie gras, mushroom soup, steak, all at once filled the table, hearty and delicious, and at once tickled her appetite.
"Eat more, you are taking care of your father in the hospital these days, you haven't eaten well, have you?"
Tan Man bit her lower lip and said with a smile: "You have discovered this." ”
Gu Mochen's eyes were full of soft light, and he seemed to be vaguely distressed: "Because I lost a lot of weight." ”
"Is it that obvious?" Stretched out his hands to cover his cheeks, and muttered, "No wonder Zhang Jiakai said that." ”
"Huh?"
She shook her head, and the knife cut a small piece of beef, put it in her mouth, and enjoyed eating it.
"You seem to be in good shape with the opposite sex." After eating for a while, Gu Mochen asked coldly.
Tan Man was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at him, it seemed that he obviously heard what he had just said.
In fact, there are only a handful of the opposite sex around her, Qiao Sen, Zhang Jiakai, and then there is him, if this is also a very good relationship with the opposite sex, then she will not have been in love all in college.
Tan Man put down the knife and fork and said honestly: "You almost all know the opposite sex who is close to me, if I am considered a good relationship with the opposite sex, my father will not be in a hurry to arrange a blind date for me." ”
"Your dad arranged a blind date for you?" He raised an eyebrow, "There's no need." ”
"I think so." Tan Man nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "After all, girls always look forward to a free and romantic relationship." ”
Gu Mochen glanced at her, and suddenly became a little serious: "I just saw that you and your landlord's son seem to have a good relationship." ”
Tan Man blinked his big black and white eyes, and laughed out loud: "He and I can be regarded as happy enemies." Our landlord is very good, she thinks that I am a little girl in Shanghai, no relatives and no reason, so occasionally she will bring me some soup or something, back and forth, and get acquainted with their family. Her son, the one you saw just now, is called Zhang Jiakai, don't look at others who are tall and big, and always love to bully me, but in fact, he is also a premature baby, it is said that his health has not been very good since he was a child, it may be due to his professional nature, and he will say a few more words when he meets. ”
He took a sip of lemonade, his expression still incomprehensible.
"You care about him."
Feeling a little sour in his words, Tan Man looked at him directly, and somewhere he got the courage, and said with a smile: "I also care about you." ”
At this time, Gu Mochen also raised his head and looked back at her very seriously: "Is it?" ”
In an instant, his heart beat faster, Tan Man immediately avoided his gaze, picked up a spoon and took a sip of mushroom soup, eased his nerves, and said faintly:
"You forgot, you had a fever last time, and I cooked porridge for you."
Tan Man's complaining voice was like a feather falling, stirring up the corner that had been silent for many years, and this unfamiliar emotion made Gu Mochen's heart suddenly throb.
She heard a chuckle, and in the afterglow, someone's expression seemed to be a little softer.
