188. There are some habits that you can't change
Du Xiaoxian's whole person froze, this was the first time Gu Nianbin said these three words to her, no matter how sweet she used to be, she only said that she liked it, she once thought that Gu Nianbin would never say these three words in her life, because he was such a proud person, it was not easy to confess to her. Later, they were like honey, and she thought that Gu Nianbin would say these three words, but she would definitely save it until the time of the proposal, she imagined the scene: the man knelt on one knee, stared affectionately, and said to her: "I love you!" And she wept with joy. There was applause and cheers all around, and she had always envisioned it that way, because it was all the way it was played on TV.
But now, he said, on this bright morning, she was completely caught off guard. She squinted her eyes slightly, as if the sun was too hot and in a trance, and Gu Nianbin had slowly turned her body and kissed her lips.
The pedestrians downstairs were full of people, the traffic was busy, so lively and noisy, but it was very quiet, and he couldn't hear any sound at all, Du Xiaoxian only heard his own violent heartbeat, one after another, like a heavy drumbeat. She stood on tiptoe, put her hand around the man's neck, and responded to him warmly, which she could hear before leaving, and it was enough. She thought that no matter how far she went, those three words would always ring in her ears. In fact, she was already so happy that she was almost dizzy.
Gu Nianbin was so annoyed by Du Xiaoxian's enthusiasm that he almost couldn't hold it anymore, he sighed softly, let go of her, and caressed her face lovingly: "Little fool! ”
Du Xiaoxian looked at him with shining eyes: "Are you sure that I won't scratch you when I go to the company?" ”
The man looked back at her fixedly and smiled slightly: "I'm sure not." ”
"Then I'll go." Du Xiaoxian suddenly became lively and jumped into the house.
Gu Nianbin looked at her petite back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
On this day, they got along very well, better than any other day, Du Xiaoxian sat on the sofa watching cartoons, Gu Nianbin buried himself in office, and after writing the last word, he raised his head to look at her. The little girl stared at the computer intently, the light on the screen reflected on her face, as if floating with a faint halo, and the thick long eyelashes hung down, covering her eyes, but could not hide the light in her eyes, so bright, as if the stars were shining.
Perhaps knowing that he was looking at her, Du Xiaoxian raised her head and smiled, just like an arrow bud suddenly blooming, full of brilliance, Gu Nianbin was a little stunned, and his slightly frowning brows couldn't help but stretch, like a spring breeze.
Du Xiaoxian was disgusted: "What do you think I'm doing?" ”
"You're good-looking."
Du Xiaoxian was embarrassed, twisted it, paused the computer, stood up and stretched.
Gu Nianbin beckoned to her: "Come here." ”
Du Xiaoxian obediently walked over and was pulled to his lap by the man and sat down: "Are you hungry?" Would you like something to eat? ”
"It's not time to eat yet," Du Xiaoxian was actually really hungry, patronizing and Gu Nianbin at noon, you felt full without eating much, and Gu Nianbin also laughed at her for being full of water.
Gu Nianbin thought for a while and said, "I know that there is a shop where the matcha cake is delicious, let's go now, okay?" ”
"Can't you call them and ask them to deliver them?"
"That store never delivers out," Gu Nianbin said, "Let's go, I happen to be a little hungry, let's have afternoon tea." ”
Since Gu Nianbin was also hungry, Du Xiaoxian no longer objected, followed him out, and said to Zhou Ting in the outside world: "Sister Zhou, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it back to you." ”
Zhou Ting smiled and nodded: "Then thank you Luo, just bring me a latte and a freshly baked pineapple bun." ”
Gu Nianbin glanced at her: "It's freshly burned, and the requirements are quite high." ”
"It's okay if it's not freshly baked," Zhou Ting secretly stuck out her tongue at Du Xiaoxian: "As long as it's not overnight." ”
"Don't worry," Gu Nianbin said, "that shop never sells overnight bread." ”
Zhou Ting is strange, Gu Nianbin is not a person who talks much, how can he have time to gossip with her.
When she got to the elevator, Du Xiaoxian smiled and said, "If you talk to Sister Zhou like this, she must be strange." ”
Gu Nianbin squinted at her: "I treat her as your friend." ”
"Actually, it's very good," Du Xiaoxian took his arm and coquettishly: "Sister Zhou said that you are an instruction except for instructions, and there is never anything superfluous to say, if you treat her kindly, she will be very happy." ”
"Are you happy?"
"Of course, if she's happy, I'll be happy."
Gu Nianbin pinched her face: "Stupid." ”
He took Du Xiaoxian to a time-honored cake shop, which existed when Gu Nianbin was still a teenager.
He doesn't like sweets, he knows this shop because Xia Xiaowan likes matcha cakes here, in those days, matcha cakes were not common, not to mention expensive, and they were available in limited quantities, he always pinched and ordered it, bought a small piece, packed it in a beautiful small cardboard box, and distributed a transparent spoon, tied it up with a luminous ribbon on the outside, and wrapped it into a small gift. Whenever he took out the small box, Xia Xiaowan was always full of surprise and shouted happily: "Brother Bin, you are so good!" ”
For him at that time, Xia Xiaowan's love for Yan Kai's little face was the best reward for him.
The past is like smoke, but now that I think about it, there is only sigh left.
But he suddenly stopped, and in the big glass window of the cake shop, Xia Xiaowan was sitting at the table with a lonely expression, and was using a small mold to print the shape of a heart on the cake. Du Xiaoxian saw him stop, raised his eyes, and his heart sank into the abyss. She was a little excited all day, and she almost forgot about Xia Xiaowan.
Probably sensing that someone outside was looking at her, Xia Xiaowan looked up, she was stunned for a moment, but immediately waved at them with a smile.
Gu Nianbin took Du Xiaoxian in: "What a coincidence, I actually ran into you." ”
Xia Xiaowan said: "The world is so big, don't you just run into Luo when you turn around." ”
Gu Nianbin asked Du Xiaoxian: "What do you want to eat, I'll buy it." ”
Du Xiaoxian originally wanted to talk about matcha cake, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "Anything can be." ”
"It's better to share it with me, I'm worried that I won't be able to finish it alone." Xia Xiaowan looked at Du Xiaoxian: "This matcha cake is the best, you try it." ”
The matcha cakes that Du Xiaoxian used to eat were all small squares, covered with light green, nothing fancy, fresh and elegant. But Xia Xiaowan's one is round, about four inches, and it is also covered with a faint brown green, and several heart-shaped patterns are printed on the flat surface.
It turned out that Xia Xiaowan liked matcha cakes, so Gu Nianbin knew about this shop. Du Xiaoxian was suddenly bored, looking at the cake and not speaking, Xia Xiaowan thought she was disgusted, and explained: "I haven't moved it when it was just baked, I just printed a few patterns on it." As he spoke, he dug a spoonful with a small spoon and sent it to Du Xiaoxian, looking at her with a light smile: "Please eat a heart." ”
There was a printed heart-shaped pattern on the cake, and when it was sent to the front, Du Xiaoxian didn't want to accept it, but Gu Nianbin said: "Why do you still like to play like a child." ”
Xia Xiaowan grinned: "Some habits can't be changed." ”
Du Xiaoxian put the spoonful of cake in his mouth, although it melted in his mouth, it seemed to have a faint and bitter taste, and it was not as delicious as they said.
Xia Xiaowan looked at her and frowned slightly: "What?" Isn't it tasty? ”
Du Xiaoxian smiled reluctantly: "It's okay." ”
Xia Xiaowan also dug a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and said suspiciously: "It's the taste before, it hasn't changed." ”
Gu Nianbin said: "Radish greens have their own love, you can't think that everyone else thinks it's good just because you think it's good." He said to Du Xiaoxian: "If you don't like this, I'll buy something else for you." ”
Du Xiaoxian shook his head: "It's good, it can't be wasted!" ”
Xia Xiaowan smiled and winked at Gu Nianbin: "Brother Nianbin, you have found a good helper!" Like me, I will only spend lavishly. ”
"How can she compare to you?" Gu Nianbin meant that Du Xiaoxian was born poor and had always been used to being simple, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong. Quickly got up: "I'll go get some drink." ”
When he saw his appearance in Du Xiaoxian's eyes, he became a void of heart. Listening to their words, Du Xiaoxian felt like a small needle, pricking her again and again, and it hurt very much. She didn't know why she was sitting here. Why listen to them talk about the past?
Gu Nianbin bought milk tea and mousse cake for Du Xiaoxian, and bought latte and pineapple bun for Zhou Ting, and urged Du Xiaoxian to go when she came over.
Xia Xiaowan said: "Why do you leave?" I haven't eaten much yet. ”
Gu Nianbin said: "Aren't you sick? This kind of sweet is still eaten a little less, which is not good for the stomach. ”
Xia Xiaowan didn't think so: "It's okay, it's old, it's scary when it happens, just take medicine." ”
Gu Nianbin frowned: "What's the old problem?" I didn't know you had this old problem, you didn't say it yesterday, I didn't even know you had stomach problems. ”
Xia Xiaowan smiled, didn't answer the stubble, and pretended to be pitiful and said: "Forget it, Xiaoxian doesn't like to eat this, don't force it, you guys go, I'll eat here alone." ”
When she said this, Du Xiaoxian was embarrassed and said, "You really can't finish eating, cut half of it and take it away for me." I'll take it back and eat it. ”
"That's not necessary," Xia Xiaowan's expression was faint, and she suddenly dug a spoonful and sent it to Gu Nianbin's mouth: "Brother Nianbin, please also eat a heart." ”
Gu Nianbin seemed to be stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at Du Xiaoxian, and said, "I don't like sweets, you know." ”
"Sell face, I ate so much of you when I was a child, and now you can't eat a bite of me?" Xia Xiaowan blinked, pitifully coquettish.
Gu Nianbin was a little embarrassed, but Du Xiaoxian couldn't bear it, so he pushed him: "Eat, it's all delivered to your mouth." ”
Gu Nianbin was riding a tiger and was difficult to ride, and when she pushed him, it seemed that he was going downhill, and he opened his mouth to pick it up. Xia Xiaowan smiled with satisfaction, but Gu Nianbin felt that he was wrong again, he should have taken the spoon with his hand, how could he open his mouth to take it? He was a little weak-hearted and secretly glanced at Du Xiaoxian.
The little girl couldn't hide it, her face was really bad, Gu Nianbin knew that it was bad, so she said goodbye and left, dragging Du Xiaoxian away.
Until the car, Du Xiaoxian didn't speak. Gu Nianbin wanted to explain, but he was afraid that there would be no three hundred taels of silver here, so he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't mind, Xiao Wan is like this." ”
Du Xiaoxian still didn't speak, Gu Nianbin thought about it, as if he had made up his mind: "If you mind, I won't see her in the future." ”
Du Xiaoxian was embarrassed when she heard Gu Nianbin say this, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that." You grew up together, and you used to have such a good relationship, how can you not see it? ”
In front of her, he still revealed his true feelings, if he didn't see it, wouldn't it be more painful? She didn't want Gu Nianbin to live in pain all day long.
