The sky darkened, and the orange-red that sprinkled the city gradually faded.
The car stopped at Fenglin Villa. Qiao Yuxian glanced at Shang Chen suspiciously and immediately got out of the car and entered the villa.
She changed her shoes at the entrance and ran into the living room.
Gu Yanjing, who was coming down from upstairs, saw her running in and looked at her with some confusion.
Qiao Yuxian went straight up the stairs and ran to Gu Yanjing's side, asking seriously: "What's wrong with Shang Chen?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian continued: "He smiled at me, that's it."
Qiao Yuxian imitated Shang Chen's smile.
She pulled a face, and a strange toothy smile suddenly appeared on her expressionless face.
"That's it." Qiao Yuxian said, "It's so scary."
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian's learned expression and her eyes flickered slightly.
Qiao Yuxian saw Shang Chen enter the living room and lowered his voice and said, "Is he being stimulated in some way?"
Gu Yanjing also glanced at Shang Chen. Shang Chen was normal now. He continued to go downstairs and said softly: "He is fine."
Qiao Yuxian followed him and went downstairs with him.
When he got downstairs, Shang Chen lowered his head and shouted: "Young Master Gu."
Gu Yanjing responded, and then Shang Chen looked at Qiao Yuxian again, paused, and smiled again.
Qiao Yuxian immediately took a step to the side and stood behind Gu Yanjing. Then he gently pulled the shirt around Gu Yanjing's waist and whispered, "Look."
Gu Yanjing lowered her eyes and glanced at her waist, then looked at Shang Chen's smile.
Qiao Yuxian had just given him a demonstration, and he thought her reaction was a bit exaggerated.
Look now, Qiao Yuxian's demonstration was too conservative.
Shang Chen noticed Gu Yanjing's disgust, coughed lightly, and retracted his teeth.
After Gu Yanjing sat on the sofa, he followed and sat on the sofa on the other side.
The single sofa was still reserved for Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian put the book and gift bag on the coffee table, and then noticed the snack box from Wufangzhai on the coffee table.
Every time she comes back, there are washed and cut fruits on the coffee table, as well as a variety of tea and snacks.
This snack box is indeed not very conspicuous when placed on top.
She glanced at the three words Wufangzhai one more time, and then looked at Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing had just poured a cup of tea, and when he noticed his gaze, he raised his eyes.
The two people's eyes met, and Qiao Yuxian pointed at the snack box with his eyes.
Gu Yanjing took a sip of tea and looked at the box of snacks. He looked at it for a while and then said: "Eat it."
Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "Thank you."
She reached out and took the snack box over, sat on the single sofa, put the snack box on her lap and opened it.
"Lotus cake." Qiao Yuxian said happily.
Shang Chen, who was sitting opposite her, bit his tongue when he heard the words "Lotus Crispy" and frowned in pain.
Soon, he tasted the taste of blood in his mouth, and his calm expression became more solemn and unbelievable.
Qiao Yuxian carefully picked one up and took a bite. It tasted very good. She took another bite and said, "It tastes the same as what I had when I was a child."
Gu Yanjing looked at her, moved her index finger slightly on her leg, and then suddenly asked: "Like it?"
I wonder if she was a little surprised when Gu Yanjing asked her "Like it?", Qiao Yuxian felt that there was something different about him at this moment.
She looked at him and found that he was no different from usual, then nodded and said: "But I prefer the coconut cake and osmanthus cake from Wufangzhai."
Gu Yanjing watched her eating in small bites.
Qiao Yuxian ate slowly while saying, "There is a branch in Yuecheng, and my grandfather often bought it for me when I was a child. Later, I picked out the two favorites among several snacks. Then, my grandparents just gave them to me.
I bought these two.”
Shang Chen also raised his eyelids and looked at her.
"Old man, I will always buy you whatever you like to eat." When Qiao Yuxian mentioned her grandparents, she always showed a warm sense of happiness inadvertently, "So, the taste of lotus cakes still remains in my childhood.
."
Gu Yanjing looked away from her and took another sip of tea.
When Qiao Yuxian approached his father in the hospital, he asked someone to check her.
Before going to college, I lived with my grandparents in Yuecheng.
After I came to Kyoto to go to university, I lived in the current Qiao family.
But I rarely go home. I spend most of my time in the dormitory and only go back occasionally. I still go back to Yuecheng during winter and summer vacations.
Her grandparents passed away when she was a sophomore in college.
The information found showed that her grandfather left because of illness, and a week after he left, her grandmother also left for unknown reasons.
Then, at the end of her sophomore semester, Qiao Yuxian took two years off from school and went to work as a volunteer in the mountains for two years.
"Here." Qiao Yuxian finished one, took another and handed it to Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes.
"Try it." Qiao Yuxian gave it to him again, "It's delicious."
Gu Yanjing looked at the piece of lotus cake. After a while, she took it and tasted a little.
"How is it? How is it? It's delicious." Qiao Yuxian's eyes were bright.
Gu Yanjing actually didn't like eating very much, but seeing the look of expectation on her face, she still said "hmm".
Qiao Yuxian laughed and took another piece from it: "I'll give one to Aunt Mei, and this one to Mr. Shang."
There was still one last piece in the box, so Qiao Yuxian handed it to Shang Chen along with the box.
Shang Chen didn't even react. When he saw her bringing the box over, he subconsciously reached out and caught it.
Qiao Yuxian went to the kitchen. He was still holding the snack box stiffly, his face drawn as usual, and he was a little unable to react.
Gu Yanjing placed the lotus cake in her hand on the dessert plate on the coffee table and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
Listening to Qiao Yuxian chatting with Aunt Mei in the kitchen.
There was just one more person, but it was even more lively than when there were dozens of people around him.
Qiao Yuxian went into the kitchen and didn't come out until dinner was ready. Then she came out and planned to take the gift bags and books on the coffee table upstairs.
Gu Yanjing watched her pick up the gift bag and go upstairs.
He just took a few steps and then stepped back.
Like a child showing off a gift, he opened the gift box and took out the earrings.
He held it in his hand and showed it to Gu Yanjing and Shang Chen: "It's beautiful, isn't it."
Tassel earrings, inlaid with small diamonds, are dazzling but not exaggerated.
Gu Yanjing and Shang Chen both looked at her with cold expressions of confusion.
Almost all the people around Gu Yanjing are men.
No matter what kind of personality a person has, he will always be strict and unsmiling in front of him, only doing things and talking less.
Therefore, he sometimes found some of Qiao Yuxian's behaviors a bit strange.
No one spoke, no one responded, and the living room was silent.
But Qiao Yuxian didn't need their response and continued: "My dad bought it from a business trip."
Shang Chen: "."
Gu Yanjing had no reaction or expression, just looked at her.
Look at her happiness.
After showing it to them, Qiao Yuxian carefully put the earrings back into the gift box. Regardless of the reactions of the two people in the living room, she took the things and went upstairs humming a little tune.
