I wish you two lifetimes

"Xiao Wen, what should I do with this fish so it doesn't smell fishy?"

"Aunt Mu, let me do it." Wen Yanzhi took the fish in her hand and started to handle it.

Soon...

"Xiao Wen, why is this vegetable not cut evenly?"

"Aunt Mu, just let me go."

"Xiao Wen, how much water is appropriate for this soup?"

……

Gu Yanran, who was washing vegetables and laying hands on the sidelines, saw this scene and thought it was a little funny. Mu Cheng, who was cooking in an apron in the kitchen, did not have the gentle, dignified and grand atmosphere that he had just met, but he was a bit more fireworks.

"Hey, when I saw you guys come, I wanted to cook you a meal, so I don't think I'm so clumsy." Mu Cheng looked helpless, and looked at Wen Yanzhi with some embarrassment.

If Gu Yanran hadn't heard what she said before, she really thought what she said now was true.

Gu Yanran lowered his head and snickered, "Aunt Mu, go and rest, I'll be here."

"Okay, okay." Mu Cheng looked at the figures of the two, and quietly retreated, leaving space for them.

"You know." Gu Yanran took out the green pepper next to him, washed it, and handed it to Wen Yanzhi. The two of them had a tacit understanding as if this was not the first time.

"I still don't understand Aunt Mu's temperament." Wen Yanzhi smiled lightly, "I haven't been here for a long time, it's strange that she lives here alone, and she always eats alone. I used to give her a good time every time I came back." Make a meal."

"Aunt Mu...does she live alone?" Gu Yanran seemed to recall that Mu Cheng had told her before that she had no children.

Wen Yanzhi nodded, with some unknown emotions suppressed in his eyes, "I only know that the day before Aunt Mu's wedding, her fiancé regretted the marriage and left with another woman."

Gu Yanran was a little surprised. She always felt that a woman like Aunt Mu who was so beautiful should be pursued by many people. How could she be abandoned? "Then what happened next?"

"She has been alone since then, and moved here from Dongcheng."

"No more..." Find another person to accompany her?
"No." Wen Yanzhi glanced out at Mu Cheng, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, his eyes were sore, "You think so, you give everything you have to one person, and you put all your eggs in one basket, but you don't want that People will make you lose so badly, would you gamble again?" Wen Yanzhi turned around and looked at Gu Yanran, his eyes were full of unpredictable meaning.

"I won't find someone who will make me lose the bet." Gu Yanran placed the washed dishes heavily in front of him, with rare firmness in his eyes.

Wen Yanzhi's eyes were soft, "Yes, I won't let you lose either." If it wasn't for his inconvenient hands, he really wanted to rub her hair.

"Wen Yanzhi, cook well, what are you thinking about in your head all day long, and all you say are weird things." Gu Yanran blushed, lowered his head and didn't look at anything, just took the bowl on the side and poured it into the sink rush.

His appearance is completely different from his previous one. He is obviously the same person as Wang Yanzhi, so how could his personality be so different.

"Gu Yanran, that's an egg." Wen Yanzhi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Gu Yanran was taken aback, looked into his hand, and was so frightened that he immediately turned off the water. The bowl in his hand was still the same bowl, but the egg was no longer the original egg, and the egg liquid was filled with water, which was a bit horrible.

"I...I..." Gu Yanran was at a loss, "I want to make custard, so... put some water."

"That shouldn't be like this." Wen Yanzhi took the bowl in her hand, put it aside, took out two more eggs from the refrigerator and handed her, "Crack me two more."

Gu Yanran held an egg in one hand, and watched Wen Yanzhi quickly handle the fish on the cutting board. He carefully sliced ​​the fish and placed them on the plate.

"What kind of fish do you want?" Gu Yanran looked at his meticulous knife skills and was amazed. He doesn't look like a pampered young master now.

"I'll do whatever you want to eat." Wen Yanzhi glanced at her leisurely.

"Didn't you slice it all up, what else can you do?"

"You don't want to eat the fish because it has bones and spines, so I'll shave it off first." Wen Yanzhi lowered his head and carefully shaved out the fish bones, not letting go of any of them.

Gu Yanran didn't expect him to say these words, and the warmth came to her heart, and she suddenly felt that her nose was a little sore, and her eye sockets were a little moist.

She has never told anyone that she doesn't eat fish because she finds fish bones bothersome. Xu Yichen knows that he has gradually gotten to know him after getting along in the past few years, but Wen Yanzhi is different. How long have they known each other? Her little habits are remembered so clearly.

"I want to eat braised fish." Gu Yanran looked at Wen Yanzhi who was shaving the fish bones, his tone softened a lot, and he sounded a little coquettish.

"No, you have to eat lightly. The wound on your face hasn't fully healed yet. Try to avoid these soy sauce and strong flavors." Of course, Wen Yanzhi could hear the difference in her tone just now, and he said softly unconsciously. Said: "I'll make you steamed fish fillets, it's also delicious, okay?"

Gu Yanran nodded, his "okay" made people never have the thought of rejection.

"Does your face still hurt?" He continued to mix the sauce with his head down.

Gu Yanran shook his head, and suddenly realized that he couldn't see at all, so he said, "It doesn't hurt, but it will itch at night."

"Fortunately, the weather is cool during this period, and it's not easy to sweat, so don't run around. It will be troublesome if the wound is stained with sweat."

"Wen Yanzhi, I'm not a three-year-old child, why run around!" Gu Yanran was a little unconvinced.

"Do you know?" Wen Yanzhi raised his head and looked at her, "When I first saw you, I felt that you were completely different from now. Now you are like the real you, with sadness and joy on your face. But In fact, I don't know why, the more I get in touch with you, the more I feel that you just can't control your temper, and you must have made a lot of trouble when you were young."

Gu Yanran blushed when he said it, it was a coincidence that he hit the mark.

What he said kept echoing in her ears, and suddenly a voice appeared in her mind, and she asked excitedly, "Do you remember?"

"What do you remember?" Wen Yanzhi knew the meaning of her words, but seeing her slightly trembling hands with excitement, he swallowed back the words he wanted to blurt out.

"No...it's nothing." Seeing him say this, Gu Yanran knew that he had misunderstood again, and the light that had just flashed in his eyes dimmed.She thought he remembered her past, remembered what she was like before.

"I'm going to cook, don't stand here, it's full of oily smoke, come in after it's done." Wen Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanran who was stunned beside him, and half pushed her out.

"Wait." Seeing that his body was empty, Gu Yanran took an apron from the side, "I'll put it on for you."

Wen Yanzhi bent his head, Gu Yanran saw this, and immediately stood on tiptoe to put the apron on for him.

Wen Yanzhi, who had his head down, suddenly stopped smiling.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yanran found that he had lowered his head and hadn't got up for a long time.

"It's nothing." He put on a smiling face again: "Okay, let's go out quickly."

When Gu Yanran walked out, the smile on Wen Yanzhi's face disappeared.

He looked at Gu Yanran who was going further and further away, and there was some doubt in his eyes, whether it was because the things she said were true, or because of the things she said, as a listener, his brain also had a memory of them and react.

Because, just now, a scene appeared in his mind.

He was sure that he had never experienced it, but the words and deeds in it were very clear, not like he imagined it.

In addition, he saw a woman in front of him, making the man in front of her bow his head. She was looking at his hair crown, and their movements were the same as those of him and Gu Yanran just now.

He couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he knew that she sweetened the man, and the man called her "Ah Chu".

Ah Chu...Liu Chupei.

Wen Yanzhi felt that he was a little confused at the moment, and he didn't know what was going on today, and strange pictures kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the current situation made him feel that he had to look into Gu Yanran's affairs.

"Why did you come out?" Mu Cheng, who was basking in the sun, opened his eyes, looked at Gu Yanran who came out, and then at the figure in the kitchen.

"He drove me out and said he would call me when it was done." Gu Yanran saw that there was a recliner beside her, so she sat on it and lay down slowly. The soreness released from her waist made her close her eyes comfortably, " It's so comfortable here."

She opened her eyes and looked at the cloudless sky, "In a few years, I will buy a small courtyard like this in a sparsely populated place. I can plant flowers and grass every day, bask in the sun, read miscellaneous books, and spend a lot of time. I know how comfortable it is."

"How young you are, you've already started thinking about retirement." Mu Cheng felt a little funny when he heard her emotion.

"Aunt Mu, this is also the pursuit of life. I have lived in the environment of the Gu family and the Xu family since I was a child. I knew at that time that I can be regarded as the person who lives at the top of the pyramid. The life I live every day is the responsibility of others. What you want to pursue after a lifetime of hard work may not be achieved by exhausting your life."

"I don't have those material things to pursue anymore, I just want to enrich my heart and make my heart more stable." Gu Yanran looked at the sky and sighed: "Ordinary people want to live the life of a pyramid. People want to live an ordinary life, this is relative, but it is all our pursuit in life.”

"Then why did you choose Wen Yanzhi?" Mu Cheng looked at her, "Is it because you think he is suitable? You are all people at the top of the pyramid. What if you are just a child of an ordinary family, or he is just a child of an ordinary family? ?”

Gu Yanran shook her head, "It's just because it's him, no matter what our identities are, I will choose to fight for him." She looked at Mu Cheng and smiled, "Aunt Mu, but the hypothesis is not valid, I'm still from the Xu family Son, he is still a member of the Wen family, and this cannot be changed."

There was a firm light in her eyes: "A hypothesis is a hypothesis because it is not true."
