Chapter 17: Gu Xiaoxiao's "Assist"
When I returned to town from the countryside, it was the fifth day of the holiday.
Gu Xiaoxiao's parents returned to the county seat because of work. Gu Xiaoxiao stayed at Xia Wan'an's house, planning to go back after the holiday.
On the morning of the sixth day, Xia Wan settled down.
"Sister Wan'an, when will you have time to introduce the great god to me?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a longing expression.
In the countryside, Xia Wan'an told Gu Xiaoxiao about Mo Zhe's general situation. When he learned that his good sister actually knew a scholar, a feeling of sympathy arose. As soon as I was free, I thought I wanted to consult Mo Zhe.
"It's not impossible." Xia Wan'an frowned slightly: "You know, great god, you are always busy with this and that throughout the day, and you may not have time to ......"
"Oops~, it's okay. How do you know you don't have time without sending a message to ask? Gu Xiaoxiao didn't give up.
"Okay."
……
"Do you have time?" Xia Wan'an asked.
Dingtone ——。 Soon, the other party replied to the message.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was secretly excited, and motioned Xia Wan'an to seize the opportunity.
"There's nothing else, isn't this a National Day holiday, my sister came to my house to play, and after hearing your name, I have to see if it's as mysterious as the rumors."
Xia Wan'an told the matter as it was.
"Hahaha, okay, where are we going to meet?"
Mo Zhe did not refuse, and agreed to come down.
"Let's meet in the central square first, and then ...... How about going to that ice cream shop again? ”
Although it's almost September, the weather is not too hot, but eating ice cream is not out of season.
"Okay, now?"
"If you have time, just now, and then we'll go to dinner later."
"Okay, right now. See you later. ”
"See you later."
……
"Oh! Yes! Seeing that Mo Zhe agreed to this invitation, Gu Xiaoxiao excitedly hugged Xia Wan'an and turned in circles.
Xia Wan'an: "......". Is it too late to regret it now?
The two explained to Xia Mu and set off.
Walking straight to the central square, Mo Zhe had already arrived.
"Hey!" Mo Zhe took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey!" Xia Wan'an is still bland.
"Hello!" Gu Xiaoxiao seemed more enthusiastic and waved her hand: "My name is Gu Xiaoxiao, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”
"Hello, my name is Mezhe." Mo Zhe nodded, it was an acquaintance.
"Well, let's talk as we go."
With that, the three of them went to the ice cream parlor that opened in the corner.
Unlike the last time we met, this time there is a sign on the storefront: Lao Xu Ice Cream.
…… Very much in line with the atmosphere of the town.
"Yo, are you here today?" As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper Xu quipped.
Because it is the National Day holiday, there are many children in the store, but most of them are eating quietly with their parents, and there is no noise like that of children together.
"yes, I'm always bored these days, and I want to eat something. It's not coming today. Mo Zhe smiled and took it back.
"Haha, you can come if you want, it's not very far away." Lao Xu pointed to a position by the window, "There is just a place over there, go and sit there." What to eat today? ”
"Just like last time, a strawberry-flavored ice cream, a medium cup. What do you two want? ”
"Strawberries, medium cup."
"Hmm," Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what the taste was when she first arrived, and asked weakly, "What flavors can I order here?" ”
The "Coke, milk, chocolate, coriander, vanilla, strawberry, mango, lychee, pineapple, ......" store introduces its products in a timely manner.
"Then pineapple-flavored, medium cup."
"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll bring it to you."
The three of them walked slowly to the empty seats, Xia Wan'an sat opposite Mo Zhe, and Gu Xiaoxiao sat next to Xia Wan'an.
……
"You've been here before?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a puzzled expression.
- Okay, Sister Wan'an, you made new friends behind my back, and you didn't tell me that you found such a beautiful place. Unforgivable!
"Yes, I just discovered this store this month, and it was recommended to me by Mozhe. Even the sports meeting and the holiday, I forgot to tell you about this place. How could Xia Wan'an not know what Gu Xiaoxiao was thinking now, and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, this store has just opened, and very few people know about it." Mo Zhe also tacitly confirmed Xia Wan'an's words.
"Oh, then the food in this store should be delicious, right?"
- Sure enough, Sister Wan'an still loves me.
"Whether the ice cream is good or not, you have to taste it yourself to find out. Anyway, everything in my store is made with heart, and I think it's okay to taste it. As he spoke, the boss came over with a ready-made ice cream.
"You're too modest." Mo Zhe is very face-saving, "How can this be called, it is clearly called delicious." ”
"It's just ~." Xia Wan'an also agreed.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoxiao took the ice cream and thanked her politely.
"Harm, you're welcome." Lao Xu is not such a rule-abiding person: "The friends introduced by Xiao Xia and Xiao Mo are my friends of Lao Xu." If you don't dislike it, just call me Lao Xu like them. ”
"Oh, by the way, Lao Xu, this is my sister, Gu Xiaoxiao." Xia Wan'an realized that she, the intermediary, had not yet introduced the relationship between them, and quickly interrupted the conversation between the two:
"This is the owner of this shop, uh, just call Lao Xu." Xia Wan'an introduced Boss Xu to Gu Xiaoxiao, thinking that the relationship between the two didn't seem to be so familiar, she was a little speechless for a while.
Lao Xu nodded and said, "Then you can eat first, and then call me if you need anything." ”
"Okay, you can get busy first."
……
"Mo Zhe, are your grades really that good?" The three of them were eating ice cream, and Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked a question.
"It's okay, it's a little better than the average person." Mo Zhe replied lightly.
Xia Wan'an: "...... "Are you a little stronger?" Sure enough, the world of Xueba is different.
"And do you have any methods for learning?" Gu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
"Let's meet for the first time today, let's talk about a lighter topic." Xia Wan'an scooped a spoonful of ice cream, put it in her mouth in a big gulp, and suggested.
- I finally took a vacation, can you give me a little living space for this salted fish!
"yes, let's talk about something else when we meet for the first time today." Mo Zhe smiled and agreed with Xia Wan'an's words.
"Oh, that's fine. Let's talk about something else. Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to understand Xia Wan'an very well, and immediately ended the topic, and said in a gossip tone: "Mo Zhe, what do you think of my family Wan'an?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough-" Xia Wan'an put down the spoon in her hand, becoming the first person who might have choked on ice cream, turned her head sideways and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao slightly angrily and shyly: "What questions do you ask?" Did you ask that? ”
Thinking that Mo Zhe was still in front of him, he hurriedly turned his head and explained to Mo Zhe: "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, she is this character, she can say whatever she thinks......"
"I think Wan'an people are very good."
Although he was answering Gu Xiaoxiao's question, Mo Zhe's eyes were staring at Xia Wan'an's eyes, and his voice was full of tenderness: "Not only are people beautiful, but they are also kind-hearted. ”
Uh, are you talking about me? Is this talking about me? Am I pretty? And kindness? In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through Xia Wan'an's mind and quickly dispersed.
"No, is that me?" Xia Wan'an asked subconsciously.
"I'm talking about you, Wan'an." Mo Zhe glanced at Xia Wan'an, silently left his line of sight, and returned to his former calm breeze: "Actually, sometimes, you really don't need to be so humble. In your own merits, you see far less than others. ”
"Thank you." Although he didn't know how Mo Zhe saw his own merits - this kind of thing that even the parties themselves didn't know, Xia Wan'an still blushed and thanked him softly.
"There's nothing to thank, just get used to it later."
"Hmm."
……
Gu Xiaoxiao: "......, can you pay attention to the occasion?" We're underage, brothers and sisters! I'm still at an age where I don't know anything, can you take care of my blind eyes?
Suddenly I want to go back to the county, isn't it good to chase dramas at home? Whining.
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly regretted asking the question just now, and had no choice but to ask the water that was spilled. I had to silently pick up the ice cream and eat it one bite at a time, trying to reduce my sense of presence.
Never want to come with them again!
