There are four guest rooms in Danfeng Garden. The largest and most comfortable one has already been taken away by Ye Qingning and given to Ye Qinglan. The remaining three rooms are almost never used on weekdays, but they are very popular today.
There were three drunken and unconscious men lying in the three guest rooms. In the first room was Shen Changan, in the second room was Meng Zijun, and in the third room was Gu Xinian. Zheng Junyan was very considerate and specially placed There is a servant assigned to each room.
Gu Xiyu hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed to the bedside: "Brother, big brother!" She shouted twice, but there was no response from Gu Xinian who was lying on the bed.
Gu Xiyu turned around with tears in her eyes: "Cousin Lan..."
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "Cousin Gu is drunk. He can't hear anything you shout now. Don't worry, just wait for him to sleep for two hours and drink some sobering soup."
Gu Xiyu gave a muffled hum and sat on the edge of the bed.
Ye Qinglan had to avoid suspicion, so naturally she couldn't be as casual as Gu Xiyu, who deliberately stood about two meters away from the bed. It would not appear rude, and she could clearly see Gu Xinian on the bed.
It is common for drunk people to make a fool of themselves, but Gu Xinian didn't show any signs of it. He lay there quietly, sleeping deeply. Although his handsome face was slightly red and he smelled of alcohol, his expression But it is very calm and gentle. It has completely lost the depth and sharpness when it is awake, and looks gentle and harmless.
If only it could stay like this... Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, and couldn't help but take another step closer.
The waiter standing in the room looked up secretly. There was curiosity in his eyes. Ye Qinglan suddenly became alert and secretly blamed himself in his heart. He was really confused. How could he act so uncontrollably in front of the servants? What if something happened? Rumors are bad news.
Ye Qinglan looked at the boy with a pleasant look: "Cousin Xiyu wants to stay here to take care of my cousin, please step aside for now!"
The boy responded respectfully and stepped back.
After the boy retreated, Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. He gently moved the stool and placed it beside the bed, then sat down. Of course, this behavior was actually very intimate. However, Gu Xiyu had long been used to Ye Qinglan and Ye Qinglan. He was inseparable. He didn't feel anything inappropriate at all, and he even whispered: "You can also sit by the bed."
...She actually wanted to do it too! However, she had to be prepared for someone to push the door in at any time.
"No need, I'll just sit here. The two of us talk quietly so we won't disturb cousin Gu." Ye Qinglan lowered her voice.
Gu Xiyu hummed. Her voice became softer, but the content of her words was a little heavier: "Cousin Lan, why does eldest brother hate him so much?" This girl, who was as ignorant as a child and as white as paper, finally had a trace of light between her eyebrows. A touch of sadness.
…
This question is really difficult to answer. But Ye Qinglan didn't want to lie to her anymore and said softly: "Because, Cousin Gu thinks he is not worthy of you. He is a military general. He has not read many books and can only lead troops to fight. More importantly, he may leave the capital to guard the border in the future and not come back for several years. Cousin Gu is reluctant to let you wait for him, so he is so opposed to the two of you being together. If you really want to be with him If you are together, you must convince your family, especially cousin Gu and aunt. In fact, they are also thinking about you wholeheartedly. However, what you want to do depends on your wishes. Because this is your life. No one I can make choices for you."
She can't, and neither can Gu Xinian!
There are some things that Gu Xiyu must learn to face and choose on her own. Of course, this is not just a simple multiple-choice question, but an important choice that will affect Gu Xiyu's life and destiny.
Gu Xiyu was silent for a long time, her eyes changing from confused to thoughtful, and then gradually calmed down. Emotions were indeed the best catalyst, allowing this weak and independent girl to finally truly grow up.
"I will talk to him when he wakes up." Gu Xinian said slowly, "I like him and I am willing to wait for him."
The moment she heard these words, Ye Qinglan breathed a long sigh of relief, and boundless joy surged in her heart. No one knew better than her how much courage it took for Gu Xiyu to make such a choice. Gu Xiyu finally truly
's grown up.
"Cousin Xiyu, you have to think clearly." Ye Qinglan reminded with a smile: "Cousin Gu is not so easily persuaded. And my aunt, she has always loved you the most, and she will definitely not be willing to let you suffer this."
Gu Xiyu's eyes were clear and firm: "I have thought it through. I will convince them." After a pause, she looked at Ye Qinglan with eyes full of dependence and trust: "I know you will help me."
Ye Qinglan smiled and whispered softly: "Okay, I will definitely help you."
These few words immediately gave Gu Xiyu great confidence, and she immediately smiled sweetly.
The two chatted casually, and their voices were deliberately lowered, soft and soft. They did not disturb the sleeping Gu Xinian. In fact, with Gu Xinian's level of drunkenness, even if the two of them raised their voices,
Even shouting might not wake him up.
Time slipped by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Gu Xinian finally began to react. First he turned over and his brows gradually wrinkled. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and let out a low groan.
No matter how much you drink, there will still be lingering side effects of drunkenness.
"Brother, you finally woke up." Gu Xiyu was very happy: "I'll help you start cooking and feed you some hangover soup." After saying that, she went over to help Gu Xinian up. Unfortunately, she never served her.
He was extraordinary, his movements were clumsy, and he didn't have much strength. After fiddling with it for a long time, he couldn't help Gu Xinian up.
Gu Xinian already had a splitting headache, but after being tortured like this again, his head hurt even more, and his handsome face turned pale.
This man has always been gentle, calm, shrewd and profound, but this weak and pitiful look is rare to see. Ye Qinglan was secretly happy in her heart and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Gu Xinian glanced over, obviously very dissatisfied with her performance. He was so uncomfortable, but she actually stood by and watched with nothing to do! What was even more outrageous was that there was a little bit of gloating in his eyes.
...Okay, she did go a little too far. Ye Qinglan cleared her throat and said politely: "Cousin Gu, please forgive me for being rude." After saying that, she also came to the bedside and held his hand.
arm.
In this way, the two of them were naturally very close. She could even clearly see his tightly furrowed brows and pursed lips. However, there was no pity in her heart, but she wanted to laugh.
He is best at scheming against others, and today he stole the chicken but lost the rice, and he also schemed against himself!
With the joint efforts of her and Gu Xiyu, she finally succeeded in helping Gu Xinian to sit on the bedside. Gu Xiyu brought the sobering soup from the table, scooped up a spoonful and put it to Gu Xinian's mouth.
, while saying: "The hangover soup was delivered a long time ago, and it's probably a little cold."
Gu Xinian hummed, opened his mouth and drank the hangover soup. After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, his headache eased a little, and his brain gradually returned to clarity. However, his voice was a little hoarse and low: "Yu'er, I have something to say. Ask you."
The reckoning is about to begin!
Although Gu Xiyu had made up her mind, when she saw her brother's eyes that looked calm but were actually brewing a storm, her heart began to beat a little drum. She glanced at Ye Qinglan subconsciously.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly, her eyes full of encouragement.
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath and felt much calmer: "Brother, what do you want to ask?"
Gu Xiyu's calm reaction was obviously beyond Gu Xinian's expectations. He frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Before you left the house today, did you know that Shen Changan would also come?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head, and before Gu Xinian could breathe a sigh of relief, she added: "I was very surprised to see him."
...Just a few words set off a storm in Gu Xinian's heart. He was a person who had been there before, so he naturally knew what the joy shining in Gu Xiyu's eyes meant. But it was precisely because of this that he felt more and more in his heart feel oppressed.
He went to great lengths to get Shen Changan out of the capital, and quietly stopped contact and heard from them. Why didn't Gu Xiyu completely forget Shen Changan, but was so happy when she mentioned him? Really... ** *So angry!
Gu Xinian cursed in his heart, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Yu'er, I have told you clearly, I will never agree to you being with him..."
"But, I like him." Gu Xiyu said surprisingly: "If I want to get married in the future, I will only marry him."
Every sentence was like a bombshell, which made Gu Xinian feel dizzy. He could hardly believe his ears: "Yu'er, what did you just say? Say it again!"
...The eldest brother’s face is so scary!
Gu Xiyu swallowed her saliva and summoned up all the courage to say: "I just said that I like him and am willing to marry him. Even if he may leave the capital to guard the border in the future, I am willing to wait for him to come back. Brother , please stop obstructing us, okay?"
Gu Xinian took a deep breath, and then exhaled forcefully. He repeated this several times, but it didn't help. Not only did he not calm down, but he became even more annoyed.
The anger was burning in his heart, and he desperately wanted to burst out. But he knew very well that he would definitely scare Gu Xiyu, so he could only suppress it for a long time. It wasn't until he calmed down a little that he opened his mouth and said: " You haven't seen him for so long, how can you know your thoughts so well? You must be too impulsive, you will be fine after calming down for a few days."
Gu Xiyu hurriedly defended: "I was not impulsive, I had thought about it clearly. Brother, listen to me..."
Gu Xinian seemed not to have heard anything and looked at Ye Qinglan coldly: "You arranged everything today, right?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. , your support is my biggest motivation.)
