Chapter 194: Birthday Gift
Seeing Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was speechless in surprise: "...... You, how did you come? Aren't you going to send them to the top? β
Gu Yunji said with a smile: "It's already been delivered, and it just happens to be free now, so I'll stop by to take a look." β
Xu Shuhua raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, "Just by the way?" I remember that it was just a street away from your way back to the hall. β
Gu Yunji straightened his voice and said seriously: "Actually, no, I came here on purpose, just to come and see you." β
In my impression, Gu Yunji has always been a gentleman who is upright and upright, and he has never said such straightforward words, Xu Shuhua's face turned red, and he said, "I...... What do I have to look at......"
Coughing lightly, Xu Shuhua diverted the topic: "After sending off the champion list, the drum honor guard will also send Tanhua back to the residence, presumably your eldest brother and they have been waiting for a long time, so they are ready to celebrate you well after you go back, and they are willing to let you out?" β
"Most of the time I was reluctant, so I didn't go back to the hall, but came directly halfway." Gu Yunji smiled softly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, "I gave the leading palace attendant a little reward and asked him to go back first with the drum honor guard, if it weren't for that, where would I be able to get out of the way today?" β
Xu Shuhua found out that he Gu Yunji just took off his black gauze hat, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. Wearing this swaggering Jinshi uniform, eighty percent of them have to choose a secluded path to walk, so as not to attract the attention of passers-by, no wonder he also walked through the side door of Xu's Mansion today.
Thinking like this, Xu Shuhua's heart became softer and softer, and said: "You are so busy, in fact, you don't necessarily have to come over today, you can come back tomorrow." β
Gu Yunji said: "I have to go into the palace early tomorrow morning to meet His Majesty and wait for His Majesty to confer the official, it will be almost after noon after the busy work, the street was noisy before, you and I only met in a hurry, since I am free at this time, I must come and say a few words with you." And alsoβ"
Gu Yunji paused, as if she was afraid that she would be angry, and her tone was a little worried: "So many people threw sachets and handkerchiefs at me before, although I had no intention of treating them, I was also afraid that Miss Xu would think too much about it. Therefore, I came to explain to Miss Xu that except for Miss Xu's handkerchief, I had never received any women's personal belongings. β
Seeing Gu Yunji's cautious look, Xu Shuhua laughed in his heart and comforted: "Actually, I don't need you to say it, I also believe you, after all, it's enough to misunderstand you once, do you have to come a second time?" I'm not going to be mad at you about that. β
She felt bad in her heart, but Gu Yunji didn't do anything wrong, it hadn't been long since the last time the two quarreled, and if she got angry with him indiscriminately this time, it would be too unreasonable.
Gu Yunji glanced at the handkerchief in his hand, and hesitated: "When you are on the street, ......"
Xu Shuhua was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then finally understood, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "The handkerchief was thrown by Qiu Xiao, and she was afraid that the handkerchief would not be thrown far, so she put a stone in it." β
"Qiu Xiao threw it?" Gu Yunji was afraid that Xu Shuhua would be angry and deliberately talk back to him, but he still didn't dare to believe it completely, so he turned his head to Qiu Xiao for confirmation.
Qiu Xiao shrank back and showed an apologetic smile: "...... I threw it, I'm sorry, Gu Gongzi, I originally wanted to say hello to you, but I accidentally hit you, are you okay? β
Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, it's okay." I thought ......"
"Do you think I saw other women throwing sachets at you and was jealous, so I threw stones at you to show my dissatisfaction?"
Xu Shuhua smiled helplessly: "Gu Gongzi, am I just an unreasonable tigress in your heart?" β
"No, no, I didn't mean that." Gu Yunji's eyes widened instantly, and he waved his hand again and again to deny, "Miss Xu is gentle and generous, empathetic, and knowledgeable in my heart......"
As soon as the words came out, Xu Shuhua suddenly realized something, and his little face turned red to the bottom.
Tigress usually describes someone's wife as fierce and fierce, and she and Gu Yunji are neither husband and wife nor unmarried couple at present, how can they use such words to describe themselves? But Gu Yunji hadn't reacted yet, and she was still jumping out with all kinds of nice words, so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
As he spoke, Gu Yunji gradually realized that something was wrong, and his voice involuntarily lowered, and he was relatively silent with Xu Shuhua in an awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.
After a while, Gu Yunji finally found a topic, raised the handkerchief in his hand a little higher, and asked tentatively, "Then...... This square veil, should I return it to Qiu Xiao, or ......"
"Ah, give it to me." Xu Shuhua settled down, stretched out his hand and took the handkerchief, "Thank you Gu Gongzi for sending it back." β
Seeing this, Gu Yunji's heart was relieved. Fortunately, this is Xu Shuhua's handkerchief, not Qiu Xiao's. Otherwise, it would not be too embarrassing to put the handkerchief in his arms as preciously as he was, only to learn that it was someone else's personal belonging.
The things that should be sent back have been sent back, and the misunderstanding that should be solved has also been solved, Xu Shuhua glanced at the sky and asked, "The afternoon sun is the most poisonous, do you want Gu Gongzi to come in and sit for a while?" Daddy wants to see you too. β
Gu Yunji shook his head: "Calculate the time, the teacher should be taking a nap now, I won't go in to bother, and I will come to the house tomorrow to pay a visit." However, before I go, I have one more thing I would like to give to Miss Xu......"
As he spoke, Gu Yunji took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and was about to open it, but he stopped his movements and looked at Qiu Xiao who was standing aside, with an expression of "why are you still here".
Maybe it was the effect of those pots of tea that cleared the heart and brightened the eyes, Qiu Xiao finally felt that he was redundant, and after saluting Xu Shuhua, he silently avoided more than a dozen steps away, turned his back to the two.
Gu Yunji retracted his gaze with satisfaction, opened the lid of the box, and took out a smoke-blue bracelet inside, which looked like a crystal texture, clear and translucent, delicate and elegant.
Xu Shuhua: "What is this?" β
Gu Yunji smiled gently: "This is a crystal bracelet, which I bought at the Lantern Festival two years ago, it is not worth much, but it also represents a piece of my heart." In a few days, April 17 is your eighteenth birthday, so I wish you a good birthday in advance. β
Xu Shuhua was slightly surprised: "Two years ago? Did you already think about what you were going to give me for my birthday two years ago? β
Gu Yunji smiled: "That's not true. I just happened to see it when I was visiting the Lantern Festival, and I saw that the color of this bracelet was plain, and it should be very flattering to you, so I bought it and prepared to give it again when I had the opportunity to give it in the future. I'm worried that I'm too busy on your birthday to get out of it, so I'm just going to give you a birthday gift now, do you like it? β
Xu Shuhua's eyes were shining, and he nodded vigorously: "I like it very much, thank you." β
Looking at this beautiful and elegant crystal bracelet, Xu Shuhua's eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't put it down.
