Zhou Yansheng, who was playing a game, listened to Xu Qiao's question, was stunned, and turned to look at Xu Qiao, who was lying at the door with only a small face: "How do you know?" ”

"I guess."

Zhou Yansheng beckoned, motioned for Xu to come in, and pointed to the stool beside him: "Come and sit." ”

Xu Qiao went over and sat down, and glanced at the bulky big-ass computer on the computer desk, which was already a very good computer in this era. It seems that this Zhou Yansheng is not an ordinary level loser.

Zhou Yansheng only thought that Xu Qiao was interested in computers, after all, it was quite rare to see a computer at this time: "Do you want to play?" ”

Xu Qiao didn't forget the matter: "Why did Gu Chengchuan have an abnormal sense of taste?" Innate or acquired? ”

Zhou Yansheng was rare and serious, and looked at Xu Qiao with a serious expression: "I really want to know?" ”

Xu Qiao also nodded solemnly: "Think, you hurry up and say, Gu Chengchuan will be back in a while." ”

Zhou Yansheng propped his elbow on the armrest of the computer chair, touched his chin and thought for a while: "Six years ago, when Lao Gu had just graduated from university, his mother and sister were buried in a fire...... Since then, Lao Gu has suddenly lost his taste buds. Liu Jingchi said that this was Lao Gu's heart disease. ”

He said it very concisely, but Xu Qiao couldn't help but shrink his heart, no wonder Gu Chengchuan was so sad, he must have a deep relationship with his mother and sister.

That's why he joined the army as a firefighter?

That's why he is so desperate every time?

That's why he doesn't feel how painful the injuries on his body are, because his heart hurts even more?

Zhou Yansheng saw that Xu Qiao didn't speak, but her big eyes were wet with tears, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she quickly shook her hand in front of her: "Hey~ Are you okay?" Lao Gu has not been easy all these years, he has always blamed himself, thinking that if he was at home that night, his mother and sister would not have an accident. Lao Gu is a person, he looks very good at talking, but he admits death. That's why he's been tired all these years. ”

Xu Qiao's heart hurt again, tears fell uncontrollably, and she quickly reached out to wipe them away, and sniffed: "I know." ”

After saying that, he got up and went out.

Zhou Yansheng: "......"

What did she know? He hasn't finished his words yet, this stupid girl must not go to Lao Gu for comfort!

What Gu Chengchuan doesn't like the most is to mention this past, or he won't have returned to the capital for six years!

Xu Qiao went back to her bedroom to calm down for a while, trying to calm down. Now that she knows where Gu Chengchuan's heart knot is, she has to work hard to open his heart knot and let him spend his life happily and peacefully.

It's also a regret of my last life!

After sorting out his emotions, he came out to see that Gu Chengchuan had not come back yet, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and the treetops moved slightly, with a hint of coolness.

Xu Qiao decided to go downstairs for a walk, in fact, she wanted to see Gu Chengchuan faster.

The chef and waiter in the restaurant have left work, and the door has been locked. You can only go out from the back door of the courtyard, which is a narrow alley. There are many tenants living in the alley, and the hot weather is even more stuffy in the house, so they are all sitting at the door to enjoy the coolness.

Xu Qiao walked through the crowd, indifferently accepted the gaze of passers-by, and went to find a public phone on the side of the road.

Passing through the alley is a relatively prosperous pedestrian street, at this time the chengguan has already left work, and all kinds of small vendors on both sides of the street are hawking. The smell of fried stinky tofu and grilled eggs mixed with the smell of low-quality oil fills every corner of the street.

Xu Qiao walked through this street once during the day, because it was hot, there were no people on the road, and I didn't expect it to be so lively at night.

I looked curiously for a while, and went to find the shadow of the payphone.

She couldn't figure out why Gu Chengchuan had a mobile phone, why did he come to the public phone booth to call back?

Gu Chengchuan is too conspicuous in the crowd, tall and tall, with straight shoulders and back, and a unique temperament.

Xu Qiao saw Gu Chengchuan walking with the crowd at a glance, walking calmly, the corners of his mouth pursed and his mood seemed to be very bad.

After thinking about it, he bent his eyes and smiled brightly: "Gu Chengchuan, have you finished calling?" ”

Gu Chengchuan's mood at this time was not only bad, but very bad, his chest was like a boulder, and he couldn't breathe. It was as if there were a pair of invisible hands tightly gripping his throat, making him feel the pain of suffocation in his chest every time he took a breath.

A bright smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him, like the rising sun, with a brilliant morning glow, warm and not dazzling.

The inexplicable mood was much more relaxed, and when he looked at Xu Qiao, his eyebrows and eyes were a little milder: "Why did you come out?" ”

Xu Qiao casually pointed down: "I just want to come out and have a look and see if there are any delicious special snacks." ”

Gu Chengchuan raised his eyebrows and expressed doubt: "I'm afraid there are no amazing snacks here." ”

Xu Qiao held up his thin white index finger and shook it: "Wrong, food is in the people!" Many of the lost snacks still exist in the folk, but they have not been found. ”

Gu Chengchuan raised his eyes and glanced at the smokeworks, roasted eggs, fried ham sausages, and fried stinky tofu, and expressed some doubts: "Are you sure there is here?" ”

Xu Qiao waved his hand: "Oh, you can't find it if you look at it this way, you have to look for it slowly." If you're not in a hurry to go back, come with me? ”

That night, Xu Qiao ate the stinky tofu Gu Chengchuan bought, grilled squid whiskers, and fried bananas...... A mess of snacks.

reciprocated the peach, Xu Qiao also worked hard to tell jokes to make Gu Chengchuan happy.

Zhou Yansheng heard that Xu Qiao went out, and he hadn't seen Gu Chengchuan come back for a long time, so he came out to take a look with some anxiety.

Standing at the mouth of the alley, I saw Gu Chengchuan and Xu Qiao walking side by side from a distance, the dim street lamps and the dirty environment, but the two seemed to be unusually harmonious.

The warm smile on Xu Qiao's face, Gu Chengchuan's lowered eyebrows, and his relaxed posture.

all gave Zhou Yansheng an illusion that Gu Chengchuan, who had fought together in the alley and had been on the street, was back again, and he had the smell of fireworks again. I can't help but feel sour at the corners of my eyes.

Leaving Xu Qiao was indeed the right decision.

The day of the preliminary round of the food competition was set for August 10th, Xu Qiao was full of confidence, and the hibiscus chicken slices that he practiced at the end made Zhou Yansheng praise again and again.

It's just that Xu Qiao is a little sad that Gu Chengchuan's injury is almost recovered, and he is ready to go back to the fire squadron to live.

Zhou Yansheng held his chin and looked at Xu Qiao, who had been stunned all afternoon, and sighed long: "Sister Qiaoqiao, there are still two days to play, are you sure that we won't lose alone in this state?" I don't care about winning or losing, but I can't lose too badly, right? ”

Xu Qiao ignored him, still staring at the swaying branches outside the window in a daze.

Zhou Yansheng snapped his fingers: "Brother will help you again!" As he spoke, he got up and went to Gu Chengchuan's room.

Looking at Gu Chengchuan, who was sorting things out, he sighed twice: "It's really ruthless, isn't there ten days left before the holiday?" I'm in a hurry to go back so early. ”
