Chapter 58 Indispensable (Thanks to book friend Rong Ronghao 10000 Ocean!
The two of them walked and stopped along the street. Gu Qingcheng suddenly smiled and said, "You are right about one thing!"
"What's the matter?" Xu Siqi asked.
“I’m not as picky about my life requirements as Linglong.”
"You're more easy-going in this regard."
Gu Qingcheng was a little unsteady when she was drunk. She stretched out her hand to grab Xu Siqi's arm and said to herself: "Last autumn, I was riding a bicycle alone on the Suzhou River and happened to catch up with the fishermen.
After lunch, the smell of fried fish was so delicious, I stood on the shore and said to them, I haven’t had lunch either, can I join you?”
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "If you plan to eat for free, they will definitely refuse."
"No, Aunt Xinghua said, if you don't mind the boat being dirty, you can come down. Oh, they are a family of four, Uncle Shui Gen, Aunt Xinghua, A Bao, and A Xiu."
"It seems that you get along well with them." Xu Siqi also knew that fishermen in Suzhou River basically live on boats all year round.
"The fish fried by Aunt Xinghua is the most delicious fried fish in the world. When you have time someday, I will take you to try it..."
Halfway through the words, Gu Qingcheng's expression darkened, and he revealed that he would not be able to meet Xu Siqi again in the future, so he said: "If you go, just say you are Qingcheng's friend, and they will treat you as their friend..."
"
After a slight pause, she added: "There is a string of wind chimes tied to the mast, which is their ship. It is easy to find... remember?"
When dealing with drunk people, you can only try to comfort them with words.
Xu Siqi said perfunctorily: "I have remembered that there is a string of wind chimes tied to the mast. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely try the most delicious fried fish in the world."
"You go alone, Linglong won't go to that kind of place... Ah Zhi!"
The night wind was very cold. When Gu Qingcheng came out of the house, she only wore a white dress, which seemed a bit too thin in such weather.
Without even thinking about it, Xu Siqi immediately took off his coat and said, "Put it on quickly. Getting cold is no joke."
Wearing a coat with Xu Siqi's body temperature, Gu Qingcheng felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what it was like.
"Dang Dang, Dang Dang..."
The tram came from far to near.
"The tram is coming. Take two steps quickly or you will miss it." Xu Siqi took Gu Qingcheng's hand and walked quickly towards the tram stop.
The tram slowly stopped and the two of them stepped onto the bus.
This was the last bus, and there were very few passengers on the bus. Under the guidance of Xu Siqi, the two of them took the seats at the back of the carriage.
Gu Qingcheng's heart was pounding because she suddenly discovered something. From getting off the car to the car, Xu Siqi had been holding her hand and never let go for a moment.
Has he forgotten?
Gu Qingcheng tried to take his hand out, but Xu Siqi held it tightly.
The two looked at each other for an instant. Xu Siqi smiled slightly and whispered in Gu Qingcheng's ear: "I have thought about it carefully just now. In comparison, I still prefer the approachable little sister next door."
Gu Qingcheng was stunned at first, and then happily threw herself into Xu Siqi's arms, murmuring: "You are good or bad, you are telling me now, do you know how sad I was just now..."
Xu Siqi said: "I like you, can't you feel it?"
"I thought you liked Linglong..."
Gu Qingcheng sat up straight, frowned and thought for a while, then said uneasily: "Siqi, tell me, if we are like this... what should Linglong do?"
"Don't worry, Linglong is a good girl, she is so good, she will definitely find her own love." Xu Siqi said warmly.
Gu Qingcheng sighed faintly: "Well, I just don't know if Linglong will blame me..."
"What's your fault?"
"Asking even though you know it!"
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said: "Linglong is a sensible person, and she will not blame you for this kind of thing. Besides, the relationship between me and her has always been just an ordinary friend..."
For people with a cheerful personality, troubles are always just a breeze, and they go away as quickly as they come.
After listening to Xu Siqi's explanation, Gu Qingcheng's mood quickly improved.
Ten minutes later, the tram reached Xiafei Road. The two of them got off the bus one after another and walked slowly to the door of Gu Mansion.
There are stars in the sky, and a bright moon hangs in the sky, under the leafy sycamore trees...
Gu Qingcheng blushed, gently broke away from Xu Siqi's arms, and whispered: "It's very late, I'm going in."
"Good night."
"Good night, be careful on the road, the tram stop is just opposite."
"knew."
Gu Qingcheng waved her hand and quickly walked into Gu Mansion.
The guard's voice came from the concierge: "The eldest lady is back."
In the living room, Mrs. Gu was sitting on the imperial chair, seemingly closing her eyes to relax, while Xiao Cui was waiting on her.
Gu Qingcheng raised her index finger and made a silent gesture to Xiaocui, then tiptoed upstairs. She didn't want to alarm her mother, so it was better to sneak over quietly.
"Qingcheng, you're back." Mrs. Gu said.
Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to stop, step back from the stairs, and said, "I thought you were asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
"How could I sleep without you coming back?" Mrs. Gu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Gu Qingcheng walked over, snuggled up to her mother like a kitten, and said in a cooing voice: "Mom is the best."
Taking a look at the men's jacket on her daughter, Mrs. Gu said calmly: "On this public holiday, invite him to our house for a casual meal."
Gu Qingcheng said coyly: "I haven't even written the eight characters yet..."
"This matter is settled!" Mrs. Gu's attitude allowed no room for refutation.
…………
On the way back, Xu Siqi's mood was also very complicated. With his special status, whether it was love, marriage or work, he had to report to his superiors.
Not long after arriving in Shanghai, he didn't see any results at work. Instead, he fell in love early. Will Fang Yongyan have any thoughts about himself because of this?
There is nothing I can do about it. In the past two years or so, I have been living alone, and my desire for love is particularly strong.
When you meet someone you like, you really don’t want to miss it.
Revolutionary beliefs affect the soul, and the power of love is also indispensable. After all, people are emotional animals and cannot live by slogans and willpower alone.
There was another thing that also made Xu Siqi feel uneasy.
——In the corridor of Sakura Hotel, watching Xu Siqi and Fang Yongyan hurriedly pass by, the injured person who was shot said in Japanese: "The murderer, the murderer is Asano Hidejo..."
Before he finished speaking, his body twitched several times, his head tilted, and he died.
In front of the door of Room 7 diagonally opposite, a woman in kimono fell to the ground. She must have witnessed the murder and fainted from fright.
Xu Siqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He and Asano Hidejou were really close to each other. They met on a narrow road on Petain Road not long ago, and they almost bumped into each other again this time at the Sakura Hotel.
Obviously, Asano Hidejo's identity is by no means simple. In all likelihood, he joined the Japanese spy agency, otherwise he would not have shot the person who assassinated Liang Hongzhi.
What happened today is very strange. The deceased was a Japanese. Why did Asano Hidejo assassinate his compatriot?
