It was obvious that Gu Xinian was not staring at her, but why did she feel nervous and embarrassed that she was being watched closely?
Ye Qinglan smiled dryly and said: "I'm going to accompany cousin Xiyu too!" After saying that, he wanted to rub oil on the soles of his feet and sneak away. Gu Xinian successfully stopped her movements with just a faint word.
"Are you avoiding me?"
Gu Xinian's eyes fell firmly on Ye Qinglan's slightly stiff smile, and he slowly repeated: "Cousin Lan, you have been avoiding me today, haven't you?"
…
This feeling of guilt and a hint of nervousness and excitement is really painful! She is a mature woman in her late thirties. She has always been calm, rational, mature and elegant. How can she act like a young girl and say something like this when a man looks at her?
Speechless?!
Ye Qinglan tried her best to regain her composure and forced out a smile: "It's okay, cousin Gu must have misunderstood."
Have you misunderstood? Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan, who was pretending to be calm and calm, a smile quickly flashed in his eyes, and he pursued unhurriedly: "Oh? Did I really misunderstand? Why do I feel that you are here today?
You're just avoiding me, not talking to me, you're not even willing to look at me. Did I make you unhappy somewhere?"
The last sentence was spoken in an extremely low voice, as if he was whispering in her ear. It was more like... ** than a question!
Ye Qinglan only felt a little itchy in her ears, and that itch quickly spread to the bottom of her heart, causing an unspeakable throbbing.
This can't go on...
Ye Qinglan bit her lip hard, forcing herself to concentrate on dealing with the dangerous man in front of her: "We haven't seen you for so long. Cousin Gu is really getting more and more humorous. When did you make me unhappy? I don't remember it at all.
No."
"But I was deeply impressed." Gu Xinian smiled softly: "That night, I didn't mean to offend. But I drank too much, and my behavior lost some sense of proportion. I never had the chance to talk to you after that.
I don’t even have the chance to apologize to you when we talk alone. Isn’t that why you are angry?”
…
Why are you talking so ambiguously? Although the two of them were talking alone that night, they were talking about Xiyu and Shen Chang'an, and they didn't involve any ambiguous topics at all. At most... their parting words were...
It's just a little bit ambiguous. What he said now was simply teasing her intentionally.
Thinking more deeply, he clearly sensed her restlessness and deliberately teased her.
A trace of blush appeared on Ye Qinglan's pretty face. But it was not because of shyness. Her big bright eyes were shining brightly, and she almost gritted her teeth: "Gu Xinian, don't go too far!"
Don't think that just because I have a slight affection for you, you can tease me at will! Don't think that I will let myself really fall in love with you.
She must not know how dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful she is!
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why did I go too far? Please ask Cousin Lan to explain everything clearly. I will definitely change it." His tone was obviously serious, but to his ears, it was completely different.
Did he have a brain convulsion today? He actually came to tease her!
Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred, and she responded without thinking: "You don't have to change anything, as long as you don't always hang around in front of me and hinder my eyes from now on, it will be regarded as a good deed."
These words were choked and rude. But when Gu Xinian heard it, he felt strangely comfortable all over his body and smiled leisurely: "I can't do this."
…
Ye Qinglan took a few deep breaths and decisively turned her head to the side.
Although it was a bit humiliating to run away without a fight, she was really not suitable to start a fight with him at this time. She just realized that her mind was in a mess and she couldn't even think clearly. Where could she have the brains to deal with the shrewd and sharp man?
Gu Xinian.
Seeing her rare childish behavior, Gu Xinian felt extremely happy for some reason, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Forget it, don't push her too hard! There will be more opportunities in the future. But don't really piss her off.
"Yu'er's plum blossoms haven't been folded yet, let's go over and have a look!" Gu Xinian's voice returned to normal. It was as if nothing happened just now, and his expression was very calm.
Ye Qinglan wished she could escape the embarrassment of being alone earlier, so she immediately hummed, and without waiting for Gu Xinian's reaction, she ran over with her skirt in hand.
The pair of slender feet wearing pink embroidered shoes were looming under the skirt, which reminded Gu Xinian of the pair of white feet he had seen that night, and suddenly there was a strange commotion in his heart. His eyes darkened.
, and then quickly regained his elegant noble appearance, and walked over as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qinglan's sweet and sweet voice came to his ears: "...Cousin Xiyu, have you picked out the plum blossoms?"
Gu Xiyu sighed in distress: "There are so many plum branches that I'm dazzled by them. I don't know which one to choose. You just happened to be here, can you take a look for me?"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then pointed at it: "That branch of plum blossoms is blooming very well, and it has branches. It must be beautiful when folded and put in a vase."
Gu Xiyu nodded in agreement. That branch of plum blossoms was indeed beautiful, but the problem was that it was too high and they couldn't reach it!
Gu Xiyu glanced at it and immediately smiled and said: "Brother, can you fold that plum blossom for me?"
Gu Xinian responded with a smile, walked to the plum tree, stretched out his arm easily and broke off the plum blossom. Gu Xiyu held the plum blossom and looked around, extremely satisfied.
Ye Qinglan coughed: "The plum blossoms have been folded, we'd better send cousin Gu out so as not to delay cousin Gu's business!"
Gu Xinian responded naturally: "It doesn't matter if it's a little later. Is there any other plum branches that Yu'er has taken a fancy to?"
Gu Xiyu nodded vigorously, and took Gu Xinian to another plum tree. Ye Qinglan followed slowly, deliberately standing beside Gu Xiyu, using Gu Xiyu's body to block Gu Xinian's body.
sight.
Well, this is much better!
Gu Xinian casually glanced at Ye Qinglan, who looked wary, and his mood became more and more cheerful. After looking at it briefly, he broke off another plum branch. This plum branch was larger than the one he broke before, with two branches, and it was also heavy.
.
Gu Xiyu already held a branch in her hand, so naturally she couldn't take it anymore. So, Gu Xinian naturally took the plum branch and walked to Ye Qinglan: "Cousin Lan, please take it."
Ye Qinglan reluctantly took the plum branch. Somehow, she had the illusion that Gu Xinian sent flowers to her... Well, she must have had bad sleep recently, so she was always thinking wildly. Quickly get rid of these messy thoughts.
open!
Two girls are holding plum branches, standing gracefully in the bright sunshine. This picture is as beautiful as a painting. What's more, these two girls are both more beautiful than flowers.
Gu Xinian's eyes were filled with smiles unconsciously.
Gu Xiyu tilted her head slightly and asked childishly and cutely: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Xinian answered calmly: "I was in a good mood, so I laughed when I wanted to."
Ye Qinglan curled her lips invisibly and turned her head to the side. He was in a better mood, but she was not in a good mood at all now. Two of the plum branches were broken, so why didn't she leave? She didn't want to hang on to eat.
Let’s go after dinner!
Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, and then heard Gu Xinian say: "It's getting late, I have to go."
Great! Ye Qinglan's mood immediately improved, and she turned around with a smile: "Yes, Cousin Gu, it's better to leave quickly. It's not good to delay serious things."
Is this heartless little girl just looking forward to him leaving?
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, who did not hide his cheerful smile, and snorted softly in his heart. Let her go for now, but in the future... there will be a day when she will be reluctant to let him leave!
She sent Gu Xinian to the door and watched Gu Xinian ride away on the clouds on a horse until the figure disappeared. Ye Qinglan immediately felt relieved and said to Gu Xiyu with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, let's go back and plant the plum branches.
Then paint, okay?"
Gu Xiyu nodded happily.
After returning to Huancui Pavilion, Mo Xiang and Jade neatly brought clean vases over. After inserting the plum branches, they busily spread out the drawing paper.
Gu Xiyu sat in front of the painting desk and gave Ye Qinglan serious instructions: "Sit closer, look at the plum branches, and then smile. This kind of smile is wrong. Smile more happily."
Ye Qinglan followed the instructions one by one, tilted her head slightly, held her chin with her right hand, and smiled at the plum blossoms. But as she looked at it, she accidentally became distracted. The pink and beautiful plum blossoms in front of her eyes accidentally turned into that pale plum blossom.
The handsome face with smile...
Gu Xiyu lowered her head and was busy painting, looking up from time to time, and then praised: "Your expression is so good, it's like looking at plum blossoms and thinking of your sweetheart..."
Ye Qinglan choked on her saliva and completely failed: "Cousin Xiyu, please don't make random metaphors." What kind of sweetheart is this? It's so scary!
Gu Xiyu was completely unaware of Ye Qinglan's dilemma and said with a smile: "I made a mistake in my metaphor. You just looked at the plum blossoms and smiled. It was obviously the way you did when you thought of the man you loved."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Aren't you usually the slowest? Why are you so sharp now?
Gu Xiyu asked enthusiastically: "Tell me quickly, who did you think of just now?"
Even if he beat him to death, Ye Qinglan would never tell the truth. He vaguely changed the topic: "You have been painting for a long time, how many paintings have you painted? Let me see." After saying that, he walked to the painting table and praised in amazement.
: "Cousin Xiyu, the plum blossoms you painted are so realistic and beautiful."
"Really?" Gu Xiyu smiled happily.
Ye Qinglan, who successfully changed the topic, immediately nodded vigorously. This was not because he was deliberately trying to fool Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu's painting skills were indeed very delicate. The plum blossoms he painted were lifelike.
Gu Xiyu smiled happily and said: "In that case, sit down quickly and I will continue painting. By the way, remember to put on the same expression as before!"
