Gu Lanshi put the doll away and raised his hand to look at his watch. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Aunt Lin, I'm going to pick up Youyou today."
Aunt Lin on the other side of the phone said "Okay" and then reminded Gu Lanshi: "Mr. Gu, I promised Xiaoyouyou yesterday that I would buy her a small cake today. Xiaoyouyou has been craving for it for two days, so why don't you go today?"
Remember to buy one for little Youyou when you pick her up."
The corners of Gu Lanshi's lips unconsciously raised, and his voice was soft: "Okay, I understand."
After ending the call, Gu Lanshi raised his eyes and glanced at the two people standing in the maple tree. They looked at each other quietly for a while. Gu Lanshi withdrew his gaze, threw the phone on the passenger seat, and turned the car around.
He drove the car back to his residence.
I took a shower, changed my clothes and went out, adjusted the navigation route to a kindergarten, and passed the time just right.
Some kindergartens finish school on time at 4:30, and some kindergartens finish school on time at 3:00.
The kindergarten where Youyou lives ends at three o'clock on time.
Aunt Lin is usually responsible for taking Youyou to and from school and taking care of Youyou's daily life. Gu Lan rarely visits Youyou because she is too busy with work and doesn't have much time, and also for some other reasons.
At around 2:50, Gu Lanshi's car arrived near the kindergarten.
He navigated to a cake shop that was very close to him. He looked at the road carefully, parked the car in an open-air parking lot, put on a mask and queued up to pick up Youyou outside the kindergarten.
Most of the adults in the queue were grandparents, with relatively few parents. Gu Lanshi was wearing a black coat and a beige turtleneck sweater. With his outstanding appearance, he stood out among those people.
The door opened and adults entered in an orderly manner.
Everyone's quality is relatively good, and no one jumps in line!
Gu Lanshi was waiting in the middle of the queue. From this angle, you could just see Youyou looking out the window with her little head. It was originally a boring look, but the moment she saw Gu Lan, the boredom in her eyes instantly transformed.
for surprise.
Originally kneeling on the stool, she climbed up with her short legs and stood on the stool. She was much taller now. She waved to Gu Lan and shouted: "Brother."
Gu Lan couldn't hear Youyou's voice.
But looking at her mouth shape, I knew she was calling her brother.
Gu Lanshi was not surprised to be recognized by Youyou even while wearing a mask. He had also worn a mask to pick up Youyou before. After several years of getting along and accompanying you, Youyou was already very familiar with him, even though he recognized him the first or second time.
He didn't come out, but after three or four times he could immediately spot Gu Lanshi wearing a mask in the crowd.
Now it's been more than half a month since I last saw each other.
The teacher saw Youyou standing on the stool and shouted in a gentle voice: "Gu Youyou! Come down!"
Yuyou obediently got off the stool.
Even though she is so small, her movements are very slippery.
The teacher came over and knelt down, and carefully checked whether Youyou had any scratches from climbing on the bench. After checking that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded you with a serious face: "You are the skinniest in the class, Pippi."
king."
Youyou made a pout and showed it to the teacher: "I was wrong~"
The teacher patted Youyou's head lovingly: "Your brother is here to pick you up today."
Even the teacher recognized Gu Lanshi. Although he couldn't see Gu Lanshi's appearance, he remembered Gu Lanshi's clothes, height, and charming peach blossom eyes every time he saw her.
Youyou said happily: "Teacher, I also saw my brother."
The teacher reached out and scratched the tip of Youyou's nose, then stood up, took Youyou's hand and walked out.
At that time, Gu Lanshi was already waiting outside the classroom door. When he saw the teacher leading Youyou out, Gu Lanshi slowly leaned over and opened his hand. Youyou happily rushed towards Gu Lanshi——
"elder brother."
Youyou threw Gu Lanshi into her arms.
Gu Lanshi also hugged Youyou into his arms.
The rosy little face rubbed against Gu Lanshi's, and finally she kissed Gu Lanshi on the cheek: "Youyou miss you so much."
Gu Lanshi asked: "How much do you want?"
Youyou: “It’s spicy, it’s spicy, I want it.”
Gu Lanshi said: "Brother misses you too."
"Not at all." Youyou muffled: "Brother hasn't come to pick you up for a long time."
Gu Lanshi apologized: "I'm sorry, my brother is a little busy at work."
The next second, Youyou's depressed expression turned into a bright smile: "It doesn't matter, the cake Youyou likes to eat costs money, so my brother has to earn money to buy cakes for Youyou."
Gu Lanshi picked up Youyou and said, "So there is cake today."
Youyou was overjoyed: "Then I want a grapefruit-flavored cake, okay?"
Gu Lanshi promised her: "Of course."
At this time, the teacher came over and said, "Gu Youyou, you haven't picked up your little schoolbag yet."
Gu Lanshi held Youyou in one hand and reached out to pick up the small schoolbag handed over by the teacher with the other hand: "Thank you, teacher."
The teacher was a little shy when he saw Gu Lan: "Why hasn't Mr. Gu come to pick up Youyou recently?"
Gu Lanshi put Gu Youyou's small schoolbag on his arm: "I've been very busy at work lately, so I can't get away."
The teacher's soft voice said: "We must also balance work and rest, and pay more attention to rest."
Gu Lanshi nodded slightly: "Yes, I will."
Because the parents behind had to pick up their children, it was inconvenient for Gu Lanshi to take up too much of the teacher's time, so he only asked a few questions: "How is Gu Youyou's performance in the kindergarten recently?"
The teacher looked at Gu Youyou in Gu Lanshi's arms: "It's good, Youyou is very lively."
When parents asked about their children's performance, teachers could not hide it, but she did not speak too directly in front of Gu Lanshi, so she expressed it very implicitly.
In fact, the implication is that Gu Youyou is too lively.
He is simply a little devil.
Gu Lanshi's lips slowly curved up behind the mask, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked deep: "How about Youyou's appetite in kindergarten?"
The teacher thought of Gu Youyou's efforts to make the kindergarten poor, and her smile became helpless: "Gu Youyou can finish lunch every day, and can add another chicken leg, a bottle of yogurt, and sometimes
There will be a little more, and the body will grow very well."
Gu Lanshi saw the teacher's helplessness and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
After saying goodbye, Gu Lanshi came out of the kindergarten with Youyou in his arms.
Youyou was very quiet when she was in Gu Lan's arms. In fact, her mind was racing, thinking about how to convince her brother to buy an extra cake later.
She wants to eat two!
Gu Lanshi looked at her eyes that were turning around with bad ideas: "What are you thinking about?"
Youyou hugged Gu Lan's neck: "Youyou hasn't seen my brother for a long, long time. Youyou miss him very much."
Gu Lanshi couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so poor."
Youyou's face was full of curiosity: "What does it mean to have a poor mouth?"
Gu Lanshi answered seriously: "It's just a lie."
Youyou: "Then I didn't lie to my brother."
Gu Lan Shining choked for a few seconds: "You clearly know the meaning of this word."
