Chapter 11: The Millennial Demon Tree Wants to Bloom

Gu Linchuan took the spoon in her hand, turned up the heat, lightly sprinkled some salt, stirred clockwise with the spoon a few times, and after a while, the water in the pot was bubbling and he turned off the fire decisively and neatly.

Turning his head, he saw that Mu Xi was holding the lid of the pot and looking at him in a trance, so he said in a deep voice: "Take the bowl." ”

"Oh......"

Li Muxi woke up from a dream and took out a bowl from the cupboard, handed it to him and asked, "Do you often cook abroad?" ”

"There's no time."

"Alas, it's a pity that this good craft."

Li Muxi sighed, you must know that Gu Linchuan's cooking skills, which had been perfected eight years ago, were enough to raise him for nothing if he was abroad, but it was just ...... She scanned his well-proportioned figure and capable limbs up and down again, but this person has always been restrained in his efforts to perfection, and the image of middle-aged fortune is rare for Li Muxi to see in his lifetime.

"Middle-aged Fortune ......"

Li Muxi couldn't help but fantasize about the greasy image of Gu Linchuan, who had lived meticulously since he was a child, and secretly laughed until he trembled.

Middle-aged fortune?

Gu Linchuan frowned and squinted at Li Muxi, who was trembling with flower branches, "Who is middle-aged and blessed?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Muxi was busy making a sad look, pinched his cheeks and said, "I, I've been fat again recently, and I can't lose weight no matter how much I diet." ”

Gu Linchuan glanced at her from top to bottom with indifferent eyes, "What's the use of dieting without exercise, the meat is all loose." ”

“...... I don't have time, I'm as busy as a dog every day. ”

After serving the dumplings, Gu Linchuan washed the spoon and hung it up, picked up two bowls and walked in front, "I squeeze out half an hour of exercise time when I get up early, and run around the park at half past six every morning." ”

Mu Xi looked at his tall back, recalling every morning when he was in high school, he chased after him while nibbling on buns and running in the morning, and he still had palpitations.

Many times when I ran while eating, I had a stomachache, and Gu Linchuan frowned and reprimanded with disgust: "Can you eat after running?" ”

"No, no, I have to go back to sleep after I finish running."

"Why do you want to go out for a morning run if you love to sleep so much, it's really troublesome!"

Isn't it because I always want to be with you......

In those years, she always chased after him, catering to his footsteps, maybe he didn't find it so contrary to her nature at all.

Back at the dinner table, Grandpa Gu and Grandma were still fighting for Li Muxi.

Grandma: "What's so bad about not getting married and not marrying, aren't there people like them who don't get married everywhere, anyway, they can support themselves, let him go." ”

Grandpa Gu: "I think what Jun Lan said is right, they are not in a hurry and do not deal with the object, it is because they have not met someone they like, like I haven't been able to marry Jun Lan and simply beat me for a lifetime." When you meet someone you like one day, you naturally want to get married. ”

Hao Mei: "You two know, I didn't mean that, it's just that my colleagues in our unit who are about the same age have grandchildren, and my father and I are not under a lot of pressure when we chat." ”

Grandpa Gu: "The pressure is all given by yourself, as long as everyone is healthy and happy, regardless of what others say and do, you always praise Linchuan's prowess, isn't he also a bare-bones commander, people say that I am not my grandfather after all, I still don't interfere." ”

Hao Mei: "Uncle Gu, look at what you said, can the situation be the same in Linchuan, young and promising, handsome and chic, then you can't spend more time picking a good one, if you are really in a hurry, my colleague's daughters are better than the other, or should I give Zhang Luo Zhang Luo?" ”

Grandpa Gu: "If you think Xixi is not good enough, then I don't think there is a better girl." ”

Hao Min: "You can protect your shortcomings, I think any girl is better than her." ”

Li Muxi held his head in his hand and sighed silently in his heart: How did I offend Comrade Hao Min in my last life......

Gu Linchuan glanced at Li Muxi, who sighed, lightly, and said to Hao Min seriously: "Auntie, I'm afraid I can't do it on my own, so please worry more about it for me!" ”

Li Muxi's palm was unstable, and his chin almost hit the table......

Li Muyang quickly dragged Li Muxi's head, and said without thinking about the excitement: "Yo Yo Yo, I heard you right, Linchuan, your thousand-year-old demon tree finally wants to bloom." I think you were notoriously unfeminine back then. ”

All:......

Dad Li's majestic eyes swept over: "Can it be the same, people study when they should study, and start a family when they should start a family, which is like you, come in reverse." ”

After eating, the family chatted around the TV eating fruits, as the only woman in the junior, Li Muxi was assigned to wash dishes in the kitchen, as a person who was immune to cooking skills from childhood to adulthood, he specialized in the logistics of washing dishes and vegetables.

After cleaning up the kitchen and walking out, he saw Gu Linchuan playing chess with Grandpa Gu, Comrade Li Guanghua and Comrade Hao Min estimated that they had rushed to the unit to work the night shift again, and Li Muyang, who was sitting on the side and chatting with his grandmother, saw Mu Xi come out and stood up and stretched his waist and said, "I went up to pack my luggage, and I will go to Singapore to perform tomorrow." ”

"This kid runs outside all day long, and he is not too tired to panic." Grandma beckoned and said, "Xixi came over to eat strawberries, I planted them in the shed with your Grandpa Gu, and the first stubble that just came out." ”

When Gu Linchuan heard the voice, he looked up and looked over here, and lowered his head expressionlessly.

Li Muxi walked over and ate two, frowned, and said, "Why is this taste, it's not as delicious as summer." ”

Grandma: "This strawberry is the seedling that you said last summer that Lao Litou's cream plum is delicious, and your grandfather Gu specially asked for it, why did you say that it is not delicious this year." ”

Grandpa Gu: "After all, it's in the greenhouse, it's not as good as the summer light, I see, next year it's better to plant the summer season, why don't you plant some tomatoes and cucumbers in the shed, you see that tomatoes and cucumbers are expensive now." ”

Grandpa Gu raised his eyes from the gap in his reading glasses to look at Grandma Li, with a look of waiting for the leader's approval.

"It's okay", grandma nodded, and then looked at Li Muxi, "Child, just now your mother said that you and that Qin Yu really got along?" ”

"Uh...... That's half and half, anyway, the other person is very good, so I'll get to know him first. ”

In front of Grandpa Gu and Gu Linchuan, Li Muxi was a little embarrassed to be asked.

Gu Linchuan took Baizi's hand and paused, and then he fell into chess, Grandpa Gu slapped his thigh and cut off a few Baizi again and again, "Putting it here is equivalent to throwing yourself into the net, this is not your level." ”

Lin Chuan looked at the chess game with determination, and sure enough, he was already trapped to death, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, you can still draw money from the bottom of the kettle." ”

Grandma stretched out her head to look at their lively chess game, and then turned back and instructed earnestly: "Don't take what your mother said to you too seriously, you are thirty years old, you should have your own ideas, marriage is all predestined, if you can't force it, just say that this strawberry, it's not delicious before the season......"

"Grandma! Grandmother! Li Muxi ate a few big strawberries in a row, and stopped Grandma Li from continuing to nag in time: "It must be that strawberry that was broken just now, the more I eat it, the more I think it's quite delicious." ”

Grandma knew that she had changed the topic, so she smiled and didn't say anything, but Grandpa Gu turned his head and asked with a puzzled face: "Xixi girl, should we plant this strawberry next year or not?" ”

Gu Linchuan picked one up casually and tasted it, and said without raising his head: "It's delicious, but it's a little cold in the refrigerator, so you can eat less." ”

Li Muxi ate one after another, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I rarely have diarrhea when I eat expired food." ”

Gu Linchuan glanced at her speechlessly, then ignored it, and sat for a while, she only felt sleepy, so she climbed upstairs to make up for sleep.

took a hot shower, put on a mask, couldn't find it when he looked for a charger to charge his phone from his bag, poured the contents of the bag on the bed, and saw the pack of tampons shaken out of the bag, and then he remembered Gu Linchuan's intention to let him eat less strawberries.

"There's no way he knows I'm on my period, right?" It's also too scary.

Li Muxi thought about it, ran to the balcony and took a closer look at Gu Linchuan's car, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it.

"Could it be that this car hit me in the morning?"

The more Li Muxi thought about it, the more frustrated he became, he hadn't seen him for eight years, and he didn't even want to say hello when he met him so coincidentally.

The more she thought about it, the more glad she was that she had kept enough reason and distance in front of him today, if she still pestered him like she did eight years ago, there would really be no place for this thirty-year-old face.

She suddenly understood the loneliness of what Lu Dong said in the car, "I know that no matter whether it is a twenty-year-old Li Muxi or a thirty-year-old Li Muxi, they can't look down on me", whether it is a twenty-year-old Li Muxi or a thirty-year-old Li Muxi, Gu Linchuan doesn't seem to pay much attention to it.

Just thinking about it, the lights suddenly turned on in Gu Linchuan's room across the wall, and the open-air balconies of the two rooms were next to each other, Li Muxi hurriedly retreated to the room and closed the curtains for fear of bumping into him again.

When the mobile phone alarm clock rang in the morning, it was the deepest time for Li Chaoge to sleep, and when he was upstairs last night, he was obviously sleepy, but he couldn't sleep when he lay down on the bed, his mind was full of Gu Linchuan's indifferent eyes that could kill, and even when she woke up, she was in a trance, did Gu Linchuan really come back or just had a dream?

She went downstairs in a state of despair, and Gu Linchuan had already come back from exercising in a sporty dress with a slight sweat.

Mu Xi saw that he was dressed casually, his hair was soft, and he lost the rustiness of yesterday for a moment, as if he had changed back to a young man in his early twenties, and his heart couldn't help but be warmed by his morning light.

Grandma shouted in the kitchen, "Xixi come and help me warm up the milk, breakfast will be ready soon, Xiaochuan hurriedly went to take a shower and change clothes, be careful to catch a cold later." ”

Gu Linchuan looked at Li Muxi, who was standing at the top of the stairs, and walked past her expressionlessly.

This is very Gu Linchuan, and it is really not a dream.
