Men are all face-conscious and will never lose their face in front of their sweetheart. Therefore, Meng Zijun immediately puffed up his chest and said: "I deliberately let him go today. If he hadn't done that drinking order, he would not be my opponent at all."
Ye Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spat at him: "You are the only one who has a tough mouth. There is nothing to care about whether you drink or not."
Meng Zijun responded plausibly: "That's not what you say. When men are together, there is nothing better than drinking. When it comes to reciting poems and making mistakes, I am definitely no match for him. However, when it comes to horseback riding and archery skills, he is far behind me.
Already."
He couldn't explain why he wanted to compete with Gu Xinian. Maybe it was the male's instinct when he encountered a natural enemy?
When Meng Zijun noticed the thoughts flashing through his mind, he couldn't help but laugh. How could he suddenly have this idea? It must be because he drank too much, it must be! However, he really had a crush on this Gu Xinian
Out of curiosity, he asked naturally: "You and Gu Xiyu are good friends, so you should be familiar with Cousin Gu, right?"
...Ye Qinglan smiled unnaturally: "Well, it is indeed familiar." In fact, it is very familiar.
Meng Zijun lowered his head to take a sip of the sobering soup, and happened to miss Ye Qinglan's strange expression. Otherwise, with his keenness trained for many years as a criminal policeman, he would definitely have noticed something was wrong.
After drinking the hangover soup, Meng Zijun's headache was relieved a lot, and he raised his head again: "This cousin Gu seems to be very powerful! I heard that he won the top prize and is now the Minister of Household Affairs, right?"
Ye Qinglan smiled and hummed casually.
It's actually very painful to talk about your current boyfriend with your ex-boyfriend. People who haven't been there can never understand Ye Qinglan's mood at the moment...
"It's strange, at his age, why hasn't he gotten married yet?" Although Meng Zijun is disgusted with early marriage, he also knows that early marriage is very common in today's era. Men like Gu Xinian who are in their twenties have not yet married.
Absolutely rare.
Ye Qinglan coughed and said to him: "I'm not sure about this either. Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Are you feeling better now?"
Meng Zijun refused to let go of the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy, and sighed with a bitter face: "It's not good at all. My head hurts and I feel dizzy. I will definitely not get better tonight."
Ye Qinglan didn't sympathize with him at all: "It's your own fault! Let's see if you dare to have a drink with someone next time." Although the words were not polite, they seemed intimate and casual.
Meng Zijun felt very relieved after hearing this, and grinned. It was a pity that there was still an ignorant boy in the room, otherwise, it would be great to take advantage of this moment to express his feelings!
The two of them were talking and laughing here, but the person standing by the door became angry after hearing this, and his face was gloomy. He stared at the girl with her back to him with cold eyes.
Although it was unclear what her expression was like, just from her relaxed and cheerful voice, one could tell that she must be in a good mood at the moment... What was even more annoying was Meng Zijun's almost radiant face and shining eyes.
.
As a man, he knows exactly what this look means.
It's one thing to know that Ye Qinglan has an admirer, but it's another thing to see it with your own eyes. What's even more annoying is the familiarity and casualness she shows towards Meng Zijun.
Meng Zijun had already noticed two more figures by the door from the corner of his eye, but he deliberately did not say hello. Until the visitor couldn't help but opened his mouth: "What are you two talking about so happily."
Ye Qinglan was startled when she heard this familiar voice, and reflexively stood up and turned around: "Cousin Gu, why are you and cousin Xiyu here? Didn't you say you were going back home?"
Who else is standing at the door if it's not Gu Xinian's brother and sister?
Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips with a half-smile: "I originally planned to go back home, but I was still drunk and had a severe headache. It was really not appropriate to go back home in a hurry. I had to stay and continue to bother you. Cousin Lan didn't seem to want to.
How welcome!”
…
Ye Qinglan originally felt a little guilty. When he said this, this feeling of guilt disappeared immediately. She also twitched her lips: "I don't dare to take what Cousin Gu said. I am just a guest, how can I be wrong?
Welcome qualifications.”
... Gu Xinian could hardly stop laughing, and stared straight at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan had not calmed down yet, and when she saw the look on his face, she became increasingly unhappy and stared back without showing any signs of weakness.
Gu Xiyu was most afraid of seeing the two of them confront each other, and secretly complained in her heart.
Meng Zijun frowned secretly. Although Ye Qinglan had a sharp tongue, he had a good temper and rarely had arguments with people in person. What happened today? What made him feel even more uneasy was that Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan.
Although his eyes were full of anger, they were also strangely focused.
Meng Zijun quickly waved away his uneasiness and smoothed things over with a smile: "It's a pity that I drank too much at noon today, but I can't drink anymore at night. Otherwise, I would like to pay my respects to my cousin for a few more drinks."
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Cousin Meng will live in the capital for a long time in the future, so he will have more opportunities to drink." Hum, I have to make him look good next time!
The provocation in his words was very obvious. How could Meng Zijun not understand the truth? Although he didn't know where Gu Xinian's hostility towards him came from, he smiled without thinking: "Since cousin Gu also has this intention,
That would be perfect." Just drink, who is afraid of whom?
It was obviously a hot day, but the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees. The atmosphere was not to mention very stiff.
Not only did Gu Xinian not leave, but he walked into the house, but his steps were far less steady and powerful than before. Gu Xiyu hurriedly held his arm and whispered: "Brother, be careful." If his feet were weak, he would fall down.
It's embarrassing.
Gu Xinian hummed casually, walked to the table and sat down. He happened to be face to face with Meng Zijun. But Ye Qinglan was between the two of them, looking at no one. She simply looked at Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu,
It’s getting dark already, why don’t you stay one night and go back tomorrow.”
When Gu Xiyu heard this, her heart immediately moved. She looked at her eldest brother subconsciously. She knew that his eldest brother would definitely not agree to her staying...
Unexpectedly, Gu Xinian actually said: "Yu'er, since cousin Lan kindly invites you, you can stay here for one night. It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up and she was extremely happy: "Brother, do you really agree that I will stay and not leave? You are not lying to me!"
It's really strange. My eldest brother was so angry just now. Why is he so easy-going all of a sudden?
"When did I lie to you?" Gu Xinian quickly regained his composure, and even his smile returned to its usual calmness: "If you want to stay a few more days, that's fine."
When Gu Xiyu heard such a good thing, there was no reason to disagree. She nodded in agreement. With her mind, even if she thought about it for a day and a night, she still couldn't figure out what her eldest brother was thinking, so she simply didn't think much about it.
Meng Zijun also felt confused. However, he began to look at Gu Xinian in a different light. To be able to control his temper in such a short period of time, this man was not ordinary...
Ye Qinglan guessed Gu Xinian's intention and didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
This Gu Xinian's mind is not much bigger than the tip of a needle. If he deliberately lets Gu Xiyu stay, he will have to stay with Gu Xiyu all the time, and naturally he will have no time to talk to Meng Zijun! However, he is not worried that he will repeat his old tricks and make arrangements again. Did Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu meet in private?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Gu Xinian remind him intentionally or unintentionally: "Yu'er, a woman's reputation is the most important, you must not be confused again." He almost said clearly that you are not allowed to see Shen Changan again.
Gu Xiyu understood the pronunciation of such easy-to-understand words. After a slight hesitation, she nodded obediently.
Gu Xinian was very relieved about her, but it was completely different for Ye Qinglan: "Cousin Lan, Yu'er is going to stay here for a few days. Please take good care of her. Don't let irrelevant things disturb her."
Ye Qinglan raised her delicate eyebrows and replied with a half-smile: "If Cousin Gu is worried, why not tell Cousin Zheng and stay here for a few days?"
Gu Xinian smiled happily and said, "That's a good idea. I'll go talk to Jun Yan later."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Meng Zijun: “…”
Gu Xiyu also looked surprised: "Brother, aren't you busy every day?" Why are you suddenly free again?
Gu Xinian smiled gently and said: "I was very busy the past few days, but I have been quite free these days. It's just a good time to rest for a few days. I haven't seen my grandparents and uncles for a long time."
...Well, this reason is actually quite sufficient. She is the grandson of Zheng Guogong, and it is not a matter of just saying that she wants to stay for a few days. She is much more confident than her guest.
Ye Qinglan quickly came to her senses and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Brother-in-law, I don't know how happy he would be if he heard that you two are willing to stay."
Is Zheng Junyan the only one happy?
Gu Xinian looked at her deeply, his eyes so calm that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
Meng Zijun was caught off guard by this series of changes, and felt strangely uneasy in his heart. It seemed that there was an answer that was about to come out, but it was like being separated by layers of weft, making it elusive...
At this moment, Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning walked in together.
Both of them looked at ease, and there was no trace of any quarrel. Zheng Junyan took the lead and said with a smile: "My mother just sent someone over and asked us to have dinner together in her yard."
Gu Xinian smiled and asked pointedly: "By the way, is there another guest?"
Zheng Junyan hesitated for a moment and then responded: "He hasn't woken up yet, so don't call him for the time being. There is always someone waiting in the house, so don't worry."
Gu Xinian didn't want to see Shen Chang'an at first, so after hearing this, he got what he wanted. He smiled and said, "By the way, Yu'er wants to stay for a few days. I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time, and I also want to stay for a few days."
