With a "bang", Gu Chao swallowed the water, because he was in too much of a hurry, he was almost choked, he hurriedly straightened up, coughing nonstop.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Brother Chao!" Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes widened slightly, and she sat up.

The little girl had no strength to lie on her stomach with soft hands, and wanted to pat Gu Chao on the back, but she was quickly stuffed back into the quilt by Gu Chao's backhand.

"Ahem, I, ahem, I'm fine, you lie down."

Wei Lan nodded obediently, her eyes staring at Gu Chao tightly, moving with him.

Letting Gu Chao fold the quilt for himself, Wei Lan asked, "Didn't you sleep all night?" ”

Gu Chao flatly denied: "There is sleep." ”

The big palm brushed Wei Lan's forehead, and seeing that the fever had subsided, Gu Chao's heart was completely directional.

"Thirsty or not? Shall I pour you a glass of water? Hungry? I'll make you some porridge. Gu Chao got up after saying that.

Wei Lan hurriedly raised her voice, "I'm not thirsty, I'm not hungry, Brother Chao will accompany me and sleep for a while, right?" ”

He said that he had slept at night, and Wei Lan didn't believe it in his heart.

Gu Chao looked at Wei Lan in silence for a while, and finally sighed.

The kerosene lamp was blown out, and the small quilt with broken flowers on the blue background was squirming, and the two people were clinging to each other.

It's so warm......

Wei Lan slept for most of the night, and the quilt had already warmed up, but when it was attached to Gu Chao's chest, she still couldn't help but let out a small sigh.

It's a natural stove!

Gu Chao worked hard and his muscles were strong, and so were his slender legs, which were strong and powerful.

Wei Lan's two little feet kicked and kicked on his legs, and his thighs had muscles, hard and slippery.

The two little feet squeezed into Gu Chao's legs to keep warm, and Wei Lan's body arched, wanting to get closer to Gu Chao.

"Don't make a fuss."

She moved back and forth, the corners of the pressed quilt stretched open the gaps, and the cool wind poured into the quilt.

Gu Chao was afraid that she would catch the wind and have a fever again, so he clamped her slender waist with his big palm, and took the person into his arms, his strong and slender legs tightly clamped Wei Lan's feet, and the two of them were close together.

The strong breath rose for a moment, and then turned into gentleness.

Gu Chao's chin rubbed lightly against Wei Lan's ear, and his voice was hoarse and lazy, "Tired, sleep for a while, huh?" ”

Let's just say I haven't slept all night......

Wei Lan pursed her lips, nestled quietly in Gu Chao's arms, and sure enough, she didn't move anymore.

Soon, a shallow snoring sound was heard in my ears.

The warm breath hits behind the ears, and it is a little ticklish.

Wei Lan twisted, turned around slowly, pillowed Gu Chao's arm, and found a comfortable position to lie down with her cheek against his chest.

"Hmm......" A shallow yawn, Wei Lan blinked, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

*

When I opened my eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and there was a sound of dishes touching from the kitchen, and the pillow was slightly cold, and there was no Gu Chao in sight.

"Hmm-" Wei Lan yawned, turned over and sat up slowly, before starting to get dressed.

Gu Chao got up early and saw that Wei Lan's condition was basically stable, so he got up and cleaned up, took a shovel and went out.

"Grandma."

"Up? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

In the kitchen, Grandma Gu was holding the pickle jar and was sandwiching pickles outside, when she saw Wei Lan leaning against the door and yawning, she smiled and said, "Brother Chao bought medicine for you, and on the table, you washed and washed, and drank the medicine after eating." ”

Wei Lan nodded, turned around and went to get his cup toothbrush.

I don't know if I've slept for too long, but I always feel that my face is a little swollen.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Wei Lan deliberately took a small mirror to take a look, and his face was fine, but his face was a little sallow, and his complexion was not very good.

She applied a hot towel for a while, applied alabaster and patted it, and then picked up a small mirror, Wei Lan's head skimmed over, and it was really much better.

Rubbing the alabaster on her hands, when she went to the kitchen again, Grandma Gu had already put out the porridge that had been warm in the pot and put it on the table, and there was a boiled egg on the plate next to her.

"Don't just look at it, eat quickly, it'll be cold in a while." Grandma Gu was sitting on the threshold of the backyard, using firewood to add firewood to the small stove.

Seeing the porridge and boiled eggs that were boiled and scattered with oil flowers, Wei Lan's heart warmed, and her cherry lips were raised, as if she had smeared honey, "Grandma is so good!" ”

"It's useless to say nice things." Grandma Gu smiled and waved her hand, then got up and walked to the hall, "The family is in chaos at the end of the year, and I don't take care of you, you can't go to your heart." ”

"Grandma thinks of me as someone!" Wei Lan pretended to be angry and snorted, didn't hold back for a second, and then stretched her neck and said with a smile: "Grandma, what did Brother Chao do?" When will you be back? ”

"I went digging lotus root with the team." There are still three or four days before the New Year, and Grandma Gu cut down the bamboo branches and tied them together, and tied the tied bamboo branches to a bamboo pole.

Grandma Gu was holding a bamboo pole to sweep down the cobwebs and ashes under the eaves and on the wall, and urged in her mouth, "You eat quickly, there is ginger soup on the small stove, and you will consciously drink a bowl in a while!" ”

"Got it, Grandma!"

Grandma Gu was busy, Wei Lan put away her playful thoughts, and drank porridge seriously.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Wei Lan smashed the eggs in the corner of the table, and the warm egg shells were peeled off, and the white and tender egg whites inside were still steaming.

Wei Lan peeled half of the egg whites and ate them, thinking that the egg yolk was choking, so he squeezed the egg yolk into the porridge and stirred it, and took a sip, but the taste was still unbearable.

The chopsticks touched the bowl and made a "ding dong" sound, and after drinking the last mouthful of porridge in two clicks, Wei Lan put down the bowl, and licked her red lips on her little face that was red with anger.

Just as he was about to get up to wash the dishes, he heard a faint sound of conversation from the distance, as if Gu Chao had returned.

Wei Lan was suspicious for a while, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she pushed the dishes and chopsticks in her hand on the table, and hurriedly got up.

Wei Lan sat with his back to the hall, thinking that Gu Chao was back, and hurriedly ran to the front yard.

Just two steps later, her body suddenly stopped.

The man was tall and muscular, comparable to Gu Chao, standing against the light, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could vaguely see the pale blue uniform on the man's body, and the dark brown belt with metal buckles on the narrow waist.

Be... It's Yanyi!

Wei Lan's eyes widened, her pupils were weak, and her smile was like a flower, and her smile faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

Yanyi just said hello to Grandma Gu, saying that she was looking for Wei Lan for something, and Grandma Gu knew that Wei Lan had known Yanyi when she was in Beijing, and thought that Wei Lan and Yanyi were like the relationship with educated youth.

Grandma Gu didn't stop her, eagerly showed the way, and told Yanyi that Wei Lan was in the kitchen.

Yan Yi thanked Grandma Gu, stomped off the mud on her riding boots at the steps of the door, and brushed off a thin layer of snow on her shoulders.

Just as he was about to go to the house, he heard the movement at the end of the hall, and Yan Yi followed the prestige and met Wei Lan, whose face was pale and slightly cold.

Yan Yi stood against the light, Wei Lan couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could see the details of Wei Lan's facial expression.

The delicate girl's dark and thick hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her little face was slightly pale, like a white flower stained by hoarfrost in the morning......

However, a variety of mixed emotions flashed across this delicate flower's face.

Stunned, incredulous, skeptical and ......

Afraid?

This flower did not bloom for him.

Yan Yi breathed sluggishly, took a big step, and retracted it when he was about to settle.

He stood at the door of the Gu family hall and handed the rattan box in his hand forward, "I came today to look for you on business." ”

Yanyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and finally lowered his eyes, and his voice was low with a solicitation, "Convenient...... Let's talk? ”

Wei Lan's lips squirmed, and she hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "Come here." ”

With that, he took the lead and walked to the kitchen.

……

Ask Yan Yi to sit down at the table, Wei Lan put the dishes and chopsticks on the table into the basin, scooped up a scoop of water and soaked it, picked up the boiling water on the table, took two pills and took a sip of water and swallowed it with his head up.

Yan Yi put the box on the table, his eyes kept moving with Wei Lan, and when he saw Wei Lan taking medicine, he frowned slightly: "Sick?" ”

"A little cold, it's almost fine." Wei Lan nodded, rusty business.

Since the last time he confessed to Yanyi, Wei Lan's mood has changed again, and there is a little more fear from the original resistance.

She was actually a little scared.

Yanyi is paranoid about herself, she is afraid that Yanyi will not be able to accept it, and when the time comes, she will become paranoid and will behave irrationally.

In order to ensure that his own safety was not harmed, after Wei Lan drank water, he squatted at the door of the backyard, pretending to add firewood to the stove, and distanced himself from the man sitting at the table as much as possible.

The elephant trunk pot on the stove was gurgling, the unique smell of ginger soup was bubbling out, and there was still a fire burning in the stove, so there was no need to add firewood.

Yan Yi saw through Wei Lan's careful thoughts at a glance.

He patted the table, "Come and sit, I don't eat people." ”

“…… I'm not afraid of you, I'm sick and need to drink ginger soup, I'll pour ginger soup, can't I? Wei Lan choked, and her mouth was stiff.

Pouring himself a bowl of ginger soup with his heart "pounding", Wei Lan stood up slowly, his black brows furrowed, and he pretended to be impatient: "I'm not a prisoner, don't treat me with the trick you used to interrogate prisoners." ”

"There's no need to interrogate prisoners." Seeing that she still refused to come, Yan Yi was silent, and said patiently in a soft tone: "Talking about business, we should sit down face-to-face and talk, this is a sign of respect for each other." ”

Wei Lan couldn't continue to shirk, so he had to paced to the table and sat down across from him.

The enamel jar was filled with brown-yellow ginger soup, which had just been boiled, and it was hot and a little hot.

Wei Lan held it, and quickly let go of her hand when it was hot, the burning of her fingers did not dissipate for a long time, she rubbed it, and subconsciously pinched the cold earlobe to relieve the pain.

It was snowing outside, and the two people in the house were sitting facing each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Yan Yi didn't speak for a long time, Wei Lan thought about it again and again, so he had to take the initiative, "You came today, what is the matter?" ”

"I seriously thought about what you said that day." Yan Yi lowered his eyes, and his tone was soft and hoarse, as if he was stuck in a memory.

Mentioning the last time, Wei Lan felt a little nervous in her heart, and her hand unconsciously held the enamel jar, and she was burned and shivered, almost knocking over the water.

Yan Yi twisted his eyebrows, and his hand suddenly raised to see if Wei Lan had been burned.

When he was about to cross the tabletop, Wei Lan, who had been scalded twice, had already pushed the enamel jar aside and came over with a humble expression, "You continue." ”

Yanyi's hand shook for a moment, then clenched into a fist and fell back to his knee.

"I think you're right."

"You are you, she is her, whether you are the same person or not, after all, those are Chen Sesame and rotten grains."

"I shouldn't have been holding on to the past."

Wei Lan frowned slightly, she heard that Yanyi no longer meant to continue entanglement, but the direction of things was still a little different from what she imagined.

She lowered her eyes and sighed softly, her long eyelashes falling a shallow silhouette on her lower eyelids, "Maybe I'm being selfish, but I hope you can understand that if the real Wei Lan is still there, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this." ”

Haggard, as if someone had rubbed off his sharpness.

If the original Wei Lan also likes Yanyi, then she must not want to see Yanyi's down-and-out appearance.

She wouldn't want the person she liked to entangle other women.

No woman can generously accept that the person she likes is courteous to other women.

Just as Yan Yi loved the original Wei Lan deeply, after knowing that the girl she liked had changed into a different person, facing the same face, she couldn't accept her intimate contact with other men, it was the same.

Wei Lan's throat rolled, and many times she would question whether she was cruel.

For Yanyi, she may have felt distressed, or she may have sympathized, but that's all, she has done her best.

Fate is never a personal choice, just as it was not her wish to inexplicably travel into this world at the beginning.

A hint of confusion appeared in Wei Lan's clear peach blossom eyes, which quickly dissipated.

She tugged on the handle of the enamel jar, dragged the enamel jar back to her, and pouted her lips and blew softly, "We are going back to Beijing to visit relatives in the next year, it has been arranged, and we will leave on the second day of junior high school." ”

I took a sip of ginger soup, I can't say how unpleasant it is, but the spicy taste rushes to my nose.

Yanyi and the Wei family have always been very close, and Wei Xueliang and Wei's mother also occupy different positions in his heart.

Wei Lan thought, raising her eyes and looking at Yan Yi with a pair of black peach blossom eyes, "Are you going back?" ”

"After the new director takes office, I can't leave." Yan Yi shook his head and pushed the box in front of him in the direction of Wei Lan, "This is a New Year's gift for Chief Wei and Auntie, fragile items are not easy to mail, can you help bring them back." ”

Wei Lan almost knew what Yan Yi was talking about, and that's what he was referring to.

Gently bowed her head, two strands of jet-black hair slid down her shoulders, and she quickly raised her hand to pin it behind her ear, "Yes." ”

With all that said, it stands to reason that he should get up and leave now.

But......

Yanyi didn't move.

He sat there, his gaze fixed on Wei Lan.

Wei Lan's black and bright hair was scattered over her shoulders, lining her face to become whiter and smaller, with a hint of sickness, and from time to time her eyebrows were usually bright and bright, with an innocent and fragile feeling.

She deserves to be well cared for.

If, if Gu Chao can't do it, he will ......

Yan Yi's body froze suddenly, his head lowered, and a pair of big hands suddenly propped up on the table, and his breathing became rapid in an instant.

What will be?

Will you snatch Wei Lan back?

No...... It's ridiculous.

She is not his Wei Lan, if she insists, it will be a betrayal.

His feelings will be the same as he is for 40,000,000 people.

Sincerity, loyalty!

"You want to be happy."

Take our portion.

Yan Yi got up suddenly, turned around and was straight like a small poplar in the northwest, he didn't look at Wei Lan again, and walked away quickly without looking back.

After Yanyi left, Wei Lan sat in the kitchen for a while.

Eventually, she lowered her eyes slowly, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and whispered, "You too." ”

Yanyi was not offline
