After Fu Yuanxiu said this, he coughed twice more. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief. His slender figure was too thin, and his pale cheeks looked a little sick.
After he finished coughing, he walked to the front of the sofa and sat down: "We meet again."
Gu Peng, who was planning to wait for Xue Xi to let go of her aloofness and lower her head:???
He looked at Fu Yuanxiu in astonishment, his whole body already stunned.
Fu Yuanxiu is the son of a hermit monk. He does not belong to the rich circle, but he has a high status among them.
He also got to know such a person because he grew up with Fu Yuanxiu, but Gu Peng knew Fu Yuanxiu's character very well.
This man looks polite, gentle and polite, but he is actually very cold at heart.
But the sentence Xi said just now definitely came from the heart!
Gu Peng looked at Fu Yuanxiu and then at Xue Xi, feeling that his three views were a bit shattered. Why did the son of a hermit monk call Teacher Ye Li's daughter Sister Xi?
Could it be that Fu Yuanxiu, a bachelor who has been single for ten thousand years, has realized that he likes Xue Xi? After all, Xue Xi’s face is indeed impeccable!
Regardless of what he was thinking at the moment, Xue Xi nodded to Fu Yuanxiu and asked, "Are you still ill?"
I remember that when we were in Bincheng, this man also looked sick and coughing all the time. Why has he not been seen for more than half a year, and he is still the same?
Fu Yuanxiu smiled: "It's an old problem."
After finishing speaking, he took a sip of water to calm down, and then said: "By the way, my father heard that your family has come to Kyoto and wants to entertain you. When do you think he will come to visit?"
Gu Peng, who just sat next to Fu Yuanxiu:???
He felt like he had been slapped in the face again!
Because if Fu Yuanxiu liked Xue Xi and was so polite to her, then there was no need for Fu Yuanxiu to say that Xiangyin layman came to visit her.
So, who is this classmate Xue Xi?
Gu Peng sat up straight in an instant, and the last bit of contempt for Xue Xi disappeared.
Xue Xi thought for a while and finally said: "Let me ask my mother."
Fu Yuanxiu nodded: "Okay."
-
the other side.
Li Zixia greeted Gu Yunqing, and Gu Yunqing nodded lightly and said casually: "Happy birthday."
Li Zixia: "…………"
The Gu family has a high status. Gu Yunqing originally didn't have to come to a small birthday party like hers. It was polite of the Li family to hand over the invitation to their family, but they didn't expect Gu Yunqing to come.
She smiled and said: "It's really an honor for me that Miss Gu can come. Why don't you go upstairs and take a rest?"
Gu Yunqing has a good tutor, and her whole body is filled with the aura of a socialite. When she smiles, her smile is kind and beautiful, but it also conveys a condescension.
She nodded elegantly to Li Zixia, then stretched out her hand to hold her skirt and walked aside: "No, Miss Li is busy, I just want to take a walk."
After saying this, she ignored the gazes surrounding her that wanted to please, and looked around. When she saw something, her eyes lit up, and she walked straight towards the area where Xue Xi was resting.
Li Zixia followed her and saw the man taking two steps and suddenly stopped. The smile on his face broke for a moment: "Who is that red-haired man?"
Li Zixia turned her head, and when she saw the person sitting over there, her heart suddenly dropped.
It's over.
Why is Fu Yuanxiu there?
As we all know, Gu Yunqing likes Fu Yuanxiu. She came to this birthday party tonight because of Fu Yuanxiu. But at this moment, Fu Yuanxiu was sitting opposite Xue Xi, talking to her.
Fu Yuanxiu has always been elegant, gentle, and charming, and he is the prince charming in the hearts of many girls. However, Fu Yuanxiu has always been polite and distant to others, and no one has ever seen him smile so happily.
That's why Gu Yunqing suddenly became anxious.
Li Zixia considered the words and spoke: "That's my college classmate, and her mother is Teacher Ye Li. I guess Teacher Ye Li and Xiangyin are both outstanding Chinese painters, that's why Brother Fu Yuanxiu talked like this with Sister Xi
You have to open it.”
After finishing speaking, for fear of Gu Yunqing misunderstanding, he added: "Sister Xi already has a boyfriend, and they are very affectionate."
"..."
Li Zixia was very nervous.
She was afraid of causing trouble for Xue Xi. After all, the Xue family had just arrived in Kyoto, and even if the Gu family moved their little fingers, the Xue family would be miserable.
She stared at Gu Yunqing, but she saw a dim light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Soon she returned to her usual calm and graceful attitude, took steps and walked over there: "Oh, I heard that Ye Li, it seems that landscape painting
Very good? But she seems to be married to a nouveau riche, right?"
The word "nouveau riche" is full of malice.
Li Zixia frowned, what should she do now?
While she was thinking, Gu Yunqing had already walked over and spoke slowly: "Brother Yuan Xiu, so you are here!"
She stood in front of Gu Peng. Gu Peng paused, gave Fu Yuanxiu a begging look, stood up, and moved away. Gu Yunqing sat next to Fu Yuanxiu, and immediately looked at Xue Xi: "This
Is she Teacher Ye Li’s daughter?”
Xue Xi looked up and saw Fu Yuanxiu frowning imperceptibly, moving his legs, and keeping a distance from Gu Yunqing.
And Gu Yunqing... had a beautiful name and a beautiful person, but although this man was smiling at me, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Xue Xi nodded and leaned back slightly.
She doesn't cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of trouble.
Gu Yunqing looked at Gu Peng and said, "I heard that you bought a painting by Teacher Ye Li and gave it to Xiaoxia as a birthday gift?"
Gu Peng and Gu Yunqing are relatives.
However, Gu Yunqing's family is the direct branch of the main family and has the best development, while Gu Peng is a side branch. Together, the two of them should be cousins.
Gu Peng looked at Xue Xi, thought about his words, and then smiled: "I made a joke. This "Lone Mountain Picture" is not the original painting of Teacher Ye Li, but actually Miss Xue Xi's practice.
"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yunqing smiled: "It seems that Miss Xue's paintings are genuine, otherwise why would you have bought the wrong painting?"
After Gu Yunqing finished speaking, he glanced back.
Without her having to say anything, some of the rich and wealthy girls who wanted to please her spoke up: "I've heard of "The Solitary Mountain", but Miss Xue is only less than twenty years old this year, right? She can draw it.
What's the artistic conception in it? And I just saw that painting upstairs. The brushstrokes were smooth and it didn't look like it was painted by a novice."
She covered her mouth and smiled: "Could it be that Teacher Ye Li repainted that painting? Then he showed it to Miss Xue to make it famous."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yunqing said: "Miss Xue is definitely not the kind of person who fishes for fame."
She looked at Xue Xi and said calmly: "I believe Miss Xue will prove herself, right?"
