The video call with Jiang Yunshu came to an end. Yuan Shu's mood did not become relaxed, but became more depressed.

Thinking about it seriously, Jiang Yunshu's words are not completely unreasonable.

A man, 28 years old, has never been in a relationship and has never been married... I don't think so!

But then I thought about it, he was so good, maybe he just didn't meet the girl he liked?

Yuan Shu grabbed his hair irritably, and decided to go out for a walk and not stay at home and think nonsense.

When he went out, Yuan Shu also brought an umbrella with him.

"Miss Yuan, you don't have to go to work today?" The uncle at the doorman greeted her warmly.

The doorman is kind and kind, and he knows most of the owners in the community.

Yuan Shu nodded: "Rest on weekends." ”

"Ouch! You see, I'm so confused, I forgot that it's the weekend. Uncle Doorman beckoned, "Pay attention to safety when you go out, have some fun." ”

Yuan Shuwaner.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of the community, she suddenly stopped.

With his gaze, Gu Chenan was standing on the side of the road.

Yuan Shu walked towards him, obviously very excited in his heart, but his face still showed that he didn't care and didn't care.

"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong? As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

"I was on a business trip a few days ago and just came back, sorry for not being able to respond to your message in time."

Was he explaining this to her? Yuan Shu felt that the haze in his heart had been swept away, and he wanted to pretend to be calm.

"It's okay, I was pretty busy before." She couldn't help but scold in her heart, Yuan Shu, you just do it!

The slight change in her expression was seen by someone.

Suddenly, the business car on the side of the road poked out three heads, all gossipy.

One of the boys shouted, "Director Gu, are you done talking?" We're all hungry, so let's eat. ”

Yuan Shu tilted his head and looked at the business car, "These are your colleagues?" ”

Gu Chenan snorted.

"Go back quickly, don't keep your colleagues waiting too long." Yuan Shu urged, and the emotion on his face was not obvious.

Gu Chenan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten, come with us? ”

Yuan Shu really hadn't eaten yet, and when he was hesitating, he remembered what Jiang Yunshu said, maybe he could learn something about him from Gu Chenan's colleagues, so he agreed.

Yuan Shu thought that the scientific researchers must be very particular about eating.

Unexpectedly, they chose an ordinary food stall that could no longer be ordinary. environment, etc., just don't know what it tastes like.

Look at it this way. Researchers don't seem to be completely indifferent to fireworks.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Chenan approached Yuan Shu and asked in a low voice, "Do you need to change to a restaurant with a good environment?" I can tell them. ”

The distance between the two of them is so close, so close...

Yuan Shu's heart set off a wave, it was a sense of excitement that she had never felt before, and she could feel her heartbeat accelerating.

I saw her shake her head and say, "It's okay, I don't pick." ”

Yuan Shu has always paid little attention to the restaurant environment, as long as the hygiene is good and the taste is good, it doesn't matter if the environment is almost there.

It's just that she didn't expect Gu Chenan to be willing to eat in such a place.

Gu Chenan found that she had been looking at herself, and smiled faintly: "Isn't it strange how I would eat in such a place?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded, carefully thinking about being seen through, so he didn't hide it. In this way, it will not be too tiring to communicate.

"We are engaged in scientific research, and we are not very particular about eating, as long as we can eat enough."

"And what do you usually eat on business trips?"

"Depending on the place, there is usually a cafeteria, but I eat instant noodles myself most of the time."

"Why?"

"Convenient."

"What's so convenient..."Suddenly, the man next to Gu Chen'an interrupted the conversation between the two of them and interjected: "Our Director Gu is notoriously rigorous in the institute, and he often works so much that he can't even remember the meal, so he can only eat instant noodles. ”

Gu Chenan said lightly: "It's better to be rigorous in our business." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Another man chimed in, "Director Gu, aren't you going to introduce us to this big beauty around you?" ”

"yes, let's introduce it."

“......”

Gu Chenan glanced at the people around him, "Her name is Yuan Shu." It was very brief, and then he introduced his colleagues to Yuan Shu.

Xie Wenjie teased: "Miss Yuan Shu, our Director Gu's famous iron tree does not bloom, and many girls who wanted to chase him in the past were rejected. It's even more difficult to see female friends around our Director Gu, how did you and him meet? ”

"We met in a temple..."

Yuan Shu was halfway through his words, when he heard Cheng Bo exclaim: "I'll go!" Director Gu, I can't imagine that you are a dignified scientific research boss and still believe in Buddhism? ”

Gu Chenan didn't think so, and didn't respond to him.

Xie Wenjie smiled: "How long have you known each other?" ”

Yuan Shu's lips opened slightly, but Gu Chenan rushed to answer first: "It's been a long time." ”

Yuan Shu hesitated, thinking that it didn't seem to be long...

"What do you do?"

"Are you in a relationship with our Director Gu?"

"Miss Yuan......"

“......”

In this meal, Yuan Shu spent almost all of his time in various problems. She felt that she had finished saying everything she needed to say this week, and her brain hurt a little.

Even if Gu Chenan came out halfway to stop him, he couldn't resist the gossip of this group of men.

Yuan Shu only realized at this moment that men can also gossip like this.

End the meal.

On the way home, Yuan Shu always peeked at the people beside him.

"I'm sorry..."Gu Chen'an's sudden apology made her not react for a while.

"Huh?"

"They are used to seeing me alone, and when there are girls around me, they can't help but want to gossip."

"So... You've never had a girlfriend? Yuan Shu seized the opportunity to ask questions about his personal affairs.

"Nope." Gu Chenan did not hesitate at all.

"It's a lie," Yuan Shu whispered, "Your conditions... How could you not have a girlfriend..."

"What?"

Yuan Shu smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I'm just curious that you are so good, there should be many excellent girls around you." ”

Gu Chenan smiled lightly: "There is one." ”

Yuan Shu was slightly stunned, sure enough... Could this girl be the one he likes?

"Who is she?" She feigned composure, desperate to know.

"She's a girl who is very similar to you..."Gu Chen'an's eyes sank, and the memory of that life clearly appeared in front of him.

...... Yuan Shu frowned, what does it mean that she is very similar to her? So I met her because she was very similar to that girl?

Could it be that she's a substitute??

Yuan Shu looked puzzled and waited quietly for the following.

"She came from a family, and she was a quiet and timid girl. I usually read books, practice calligraphy, draw, and play chess in the yard, but I don't care about the piano. If you want her to practice, everyone has to coax her..."

"She is naturally kind, soft-hearted, but not cowardly. She believes in Buddhism and often goes to the temple to pray for blessings, which is particularly religious. Later, every day, every day..."

When Gu Chenan talked about this girl, there was visible joy on his face. Every subtle expression was fully seen by Yuan Shu.

Hearing him praise that girl to the sky, Yuan Shu felt very uncomfortable. couldn't help but compare the girl he described with himself.

Practicing calligraphy, drawing... She'll do too! Her grandfather taught her to practice calligraphy and Chinese painting since she was a child, and she passed the eighth grade in high school.

She thought about it, looking at it this way, she wouldn't lose much, right?

Who the hell is this girl?

Will it be Gu Chenan's first love?

Yuan Shu thought about it again, could it be that he went to the Green Bamboo Temple because of that girl? Because he said she... Believe in Buddhism...

Could it be that Gu Chenan is really a person who is inconsistent with what he looks out and what he says, as Jiang Yunshu said?

Otherwise, why are you so close to her, even though there is already someone living in your heart? Do you really think of her as a replacement?

All kinds of thoughts lingered in Yuan Shu's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.
