I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Gu Shao's hand that was still on the doorknob trembled.

Gu Shao lowered his face and pushed the door open.

At this moment, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Sheng Xiuyan was helping Gu Xi with an ice pack.

There is nothing wrong with the two's actions, but they are too close, and Gu Shao's sun's acupuncture twitches violently in an intimate posture.

Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi at the other end finally noticed Gu Shao who walked into the room.

Dad, you're back. Gu Xi called out to Gu Shao, because the words were too hasty, and there was another dull pain when she pulled her sideways.

Seeing that Gu Xi seemed to be frowning because of the pain, the severity in Gu Shao's eyes softened a lot.

——When he applied ice to Gu Xi yesterday, the girl kept yelling that she was in pain. It looks much better now than it did in the morning.

Hearing that Gu Shao came back, Sheng Xiuyan also put away the ice pack in his hand, stood up and turned to face Gu Shao.

Sheng Xiuyan quickly hid the embarrassment in his eyes, pretending to call Gu Shaoyi Uncle Gu.

However, he could see the tension in the hand holding the ice pack tightly.

Not only Sheng Xiuyan, but also Gu Xi became nervous.

——It's strange, Sheng Xiuyan often came to Gu's house before, and he also came with Gu Chenyi and the others, and they had played together until now, but Gu Xilai didn't notice anything before, but now he feels guilty for no reason.

Probably the guilty conscience of a 'thief'...

Gu Xi muttered something silently in her heart, and then she tried to hide her mischievous smile at Gu Shao, pointing at Sheng Xiuyan and explaining: He came back from S city and heard that I had an operation, so he came over to have a look.

Gu Xi especially emphasized the word 'by the way'.

--Is it?

Gu Shao squinted his eyes. How did he hear that the kid asked for leave in advance and came back before the visit and study with Professor Zhou was over?

Gu Shao's gaze skipped over Gu Xi, and looked at Sheng Xiuyan.

How is your study? Gu Shao said relationship, but his cold voice did not show any concern.

Not bad, Sheng Xiuyan said, paused, and said without concealment: The content of the visit later has little relevance to my direction, so I came back early.

With Yu's explanation, Gu Shao was noncommittal, and looked at the restaurant where Sheng Xiuyan cooked the porridge for Gu Xi.

——Look by the way, even the meal is 'by the way'?

I'll clean up. Sheng Xiuyan said, ready to wash the dishes.

After eating, Gu Xi said he had a toothache, so he applied ice first.

Leave it alone. Gu Shaoshen stopped Sheng Xiuyan.

Sheng Xiuyan was taken aback.

He also heard Gu Shao say: There is no way to let customers wash the dishes.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Gu Shao bit the word 'guest' very hard, even gnashing his teeth.

Sit down. Gu Shao asked Sheng Xiuyan to sit down.

Seeing Sheng Xiuyan sitting next to Gu Xi, Gu Shao frowned.

——In the past, the two played together and participated in competitions together. There were too many times when they were in the same frame, and Gu Shao didn't care too much about it, but today, it always feels particularly glaring.

It's a pity.

Um?

Add some clothes, I'll catch a cold soon. Gu Shao said.

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched. Originally, she wanted to say that summer is not cold, and her home clothes are already thick enough. However, meeting Gu Shao's strict eyes, Gu Xi still gave Sheng Xiuyan a good luck eyes, got up and put on clothes.

At the side, Gu Shao looked at Sheng Xiuyan, and said blankly: Professor Zhou said you are good.

What Gu Shao said, word by word, seemed to be boasting and cultivating words, but there was no hint of exaggerating and cultivating words in his tone.

Sheng Xiuyan nodded without saying a word, meeting Gu Shao's gaze, he always felt an invisible coldness like a glow on his back.

In the research group, read more, ask more questions, and learn more. Don't be afraid of trouble, let alone fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. Gu Shao said.

Sheng Xiuyan nodded: I will.

Be positive and do more.

Okay. Sheng Xiuyan replied again.

But Gu Shao said again: Not yet?

Sheng Xiuyan: ? Where? Professor Zhou's research group? Now?

Gu Xi, who just came out after changing clothes, also couldn't laugh or cry.

——Dad, your rhetoric to drive away is too strong, there is no turning point.

Gu Xi silently glanced at the time: 7:30 pm.

Not to mention that Professor Zhou's entire research group has gone to S city, except for Sheng Xiuyan, the others have not come back yet. Even in normal times, at this point in time, the research team has already finished work.

After understanding what Gu Shao meant, Sheng Xiuyan got up and said goodbye even though he felt a little bit unwilling in his heart.

——

After dismissing an unsightly boy, Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi again.

What's wrong? Gu Xi felt guilty, but she replied to Gu Shao with a calm and 'ignorant' expression on her face.

After looking at Gu Xi for two seconds, Gu Shao finally sighed and said, It's fine for you and that kid from the Shen family to do events and compete together, but you should also pay attention to keeping a distance and don't get too close.

Well, why? Gu Xi asked subconsciously, and then said: Aren't we always the same? There are also Gu Chenyi, big brother and little brother.

Herein lies the problem!

Gu Shao secretly said in his heart, and said with deep guxi: Although you have grown up playing together, that boy from the Shen family is still a good boy.

It's actually different from Gu Chenyi and the others.

Gu Yanlin, Gu Yanxiao, Gu Chenyi and Gu Xi are cousins, so it's okay to be close, but Sheng Xiuyan put it bluntly.

After finishing speaking, Gu Shao glanced at the porridge made by Sheng Xiuyan over there, and the side dishes that were intentionally chopped into small pieces, a hint of danger flashed in Gu Shao's eyes.

——One man and one woman are good, and they are careful to such an extent, except for ulterior motives, that is, ulterior motives.

Gu Shao didn't say anything, but he just had a certain intuition, which originated from a father's sense of crisis.

In short, keep the distance you should have.

Hmm. Gu Xi answered vaguely.

Seeing that Gu Shao's expression seemed to have eased, Gu Xicai seemed to have no intention of asking, Dad, were you talking to Sheng Xiu about the project just now?

It is. Gu Shao simply replied: The main purpose is to send that kid away.

Sheng Xiuyan's performance in the project team is very good? Gu Xi asked again.

Zhou Chenwei is very optimistic about him. It was the truth.

Then— After a pause, Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao, then asked sideways, What about you, Dad? How do you feel about Sheng Xiuyan?

Gu Xi's words seemed casual, but in fact, there was anxiety and expectation hidden in her heart.

In the end, Gu Shao said lightly, It's not that good.

Gu Xi:?

No, you don't think he's actually quite... Okay.

Gu Xi wanted to refute Gu Shao's words.

In the middle of the conversation, Gu Shao took a look at Gu Xi, Gu Xi hesitated and stopped embarrassingly.

——

After a while, Gu Shao cleaned up the dishes, and while Gu Xi was not around, he made a phone call to Zhou Chenwei, who is currently the head of Sheng Xiuyan's largest research group.

The phone was connected quickly.

Professor Gu, what's your order? On the phone, Professor Zhou asked with a smile, Fang Xian was very happy to receive Gu Shao's call.

Don't dare to order, Gu Shao also said with a smile, paused, and then asked, How is Sheng Xiuyan with you?

Xiao Sheng, it's not bad, it's very good at learning, and it's quick to learn. The point is that it's still very humble, young, not bad! Speaking of Sheng Xiuyan, Professor Zhou was very satisfied.

Gu Shao responded calmly, and said: That kid is not bad, you can give him more opportunities to exercise.

Hearing Gu Shao's words, Professor Zhou at the other end immediately realized that what Gu Shao meant was to ask him to take care of Sheng Xiuyan more.

Of course no problem! Originally, Sheng Xiuyan was cultivated by him as a key seed.

Haha, don't worry, Professor Gu, I will definitely give priority to Xiao Sheng if there are good opportunities and projects. Professor Zhou said with a smile.

Gu Shao frowned slightly.

It's not just a project, you can arrange any work in your laboratory for him.

Is there any other work in my laboratory, the rest is just running errands. Professor Zhou joked.

In the end, Gu Shao responded, That's fine.

You... Professor Zhou became more and more mysterious and gradually felt uncomfortable: How could he feel that Gu Shao was either supporting Sheng Xiuyan, or simply finding something for Sheng Xiuyan to do?

Of course, if there are any other provinces or overseas projects, you can also consider letting him.

After finishing speaking, Gu Shao added another sentence in a serious manner: Young people need experience.

Professor Zhou: ... Not only do I have to find something to do, but I also want to throw it away.

What enmity between the Gu family and Sheng Xiuyan's family? Isn't it a good family friend? Is there anyone who cheats the juniors of the family?

After finishing the call with Gu Shao, Professor Zhou rubbed his chin, puzzled.

Professor, have you encountered any problems? The teacher who came to visit and study together couldn't help asking when he saw Professor Zhou's face tangled with a display board.

No. He was just thinking about why Professor Gu suddenly became a junior.

Suddenly, Professor Zhou had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, Professor Gu's daughter and Xiao Sheng are very close?

Hearing this, the teacher nodded: Yes, they often participate in competitions together.

Haha, then I understand.

What do you understand?

Professor Zhou smiled but did not answer, Gu said with emotion: Poor parents, haha.

Okay, wait a minute, Xiao Sheng can participate more in the project you have in hand, but if you need to go out, try not to arrange it.

Professor Zhou didn't explain the puzzled eyes of the noodle maker, but only secretly thought: If it really happens in the future, he will prepare a big red envelope!

——

Back at school, Sheng Xiuyan obviously felt that he had done a lot more research.

However, as a boyfriend during the 'internship period', Sheng Xiuyan still didn't miss any chance to show his presence.

You are? Seeing the person sitting next to her, Gu Xi raised her eyebrows.

Scrap class. Sheng Xiu said seriously.

If it weren't for the smile he couldn't hide at the moment, Gu Xi would almost believe what she said.

Although electronic technology and information technology are two directions, they are in the same college, and Sheng Xiuyan can be regarded as half of the college, and occasionally come to take classes.

, the classroom was no longer surprised to see Sheng Xiuyan.

Gu Xi, on the other hand, cast a thoughtful glance at Sheng Xiuyan.

Under Gu Xi's gaze, Sheng Xiu said calmly.

I must have pulled out a book of microeconomics to make up the numbers.

At that moment, the front door of the classroom was pushed open, and it was not the teacher of the subject, but Gu Shao.

Seeing Gu Shao, the students below were surprised at first, and then burst into cheers.

Professor Gu, are you here to substitute for Teacher Wang? You asked in surprise.

How famous is Gu Shao in the industry? It is no exaggeration to say that many students choose a major just for Gu Shao.

It's a pity that Gu Shao's courses in University A are very few, and they are generally not oriented to undergraduate universities. The only elective courses are also highly competitive, and they can be snatched up in less than 3 seconds after being listed.

Well, it would be a huge surprise for them to be able to attend a class taught by Professor Gu, even if it is a substitute class!

Mr. Wang is going out to study and research, and I will take the class temporarily. Gu Shaoyan explained concisely.

After all, Gu Shao glanced around the classroom, and was very keen to see the redundant existence next to his daughter in the back row.

Gu Shao's face turned cold: If you are about to start class, if you go to the wrong classroom, now it's your own classroom.

Meeting Gu Shao's meaningful and directional gaze, Sheng Xiuyan bit the bullet and did not move.

Gu Shao stared at Sheng Xiuyan and sat upright for a few minutes, but from an angle that Fang couldn't see, the hand under the desk quietly held Gu Xi's hand.

Feeling the tension under Sheng Xiuyan's pretending to be calm, Gu Xi worked hard to hold back her laughter.

The main reason is that he is afraid of being misunderstood by Gu Shao in front of him.

Gu Xi glanced at Sheng Xiuyan, then took a peek at Gu Shao in front of him: How do you feel, the way Gu Shao looks at Sheng Xiuyan is more uh... stricter than before?

...

A class finally ended in a 'tense and serious' atmosphere.

After class, after leaving the classroom, Gu Shao looked at Sheng Xiuyan and said, You don't seem to have any classes.

Sheng Xiuyan paused, and explained: Our teacher said that the research on the content of the course is helpful. I suggest you to listen to it.

In the distance, Professor Zhou, who was working conscientiously in his office, sneezed: He never said what he said, and he won't take the blame!

Really? Gu Shao raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing Sheng Xiuyan's words at all.

Then let's report to your teacher about your class intentions. After finishing speaking, Gu Shao prepared to leave with Gu Xi, and before leaving, he gave Sheng Xiuyan a warning look.

Sheng Xiuyan understood, and said to father and daughter, Goodbye.

At that moment, Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao walked over not far away, as if they had just finished class and were about to go home.

The two came over, first called Gu Shaoyi, then looked at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.

Are you pitying their class again? Gu Chenyi asked.

The word 'again' successfully made Gu Shao's face black.

However, Gu Chenyi pulled Sheng Xiuyan closer as if he didn't notice, and said: You don't have class later, come on, come to our house for dinner.

Gu Yanxiao also echoed at the side: It just so happens that Grandpa Shen and Grandpa are fishing together today, and they will probably be at our house soon.

Gu Shao glanced at his eldest nephew, with a sullen face, took Gu Xi and left, leaving behind three with different expressions.

Gu Chenyi: Why do I feel a little cold? Has the weather changed?

Gu Yanxiao: It's a little...

——

In the evening, Sheng Xiuyan invited Gu's family to have a meal at the warm invitation of Gu Yanxiao and Mr. Gu on the phone.

Since there was no winner in the fishing during the day, after dinner, the two fathers argued again, and finally decided to have a showdown in chess.

Bring me my chess, I'm so tall that I'm convinced today! Mr. Gu said with a face of dissatisfaction, then glanced at Mr. Shen contemptuously, and said: You can beat you at Go for me, wrong, I still beat you at chess.

If there is no dispute, the two of them will not stop. After these years, Gu Xi has already gotten to know each other very deeply.

, Hearing his father's words, Gu Xi stood up without the slightest hesitation: I'll take it.

Sheng Xiuyan also stood up behind Gu Xi: I'll help.

Hearing the words, Mr. Gu nodded without paying attention, and said again: The chessboard is on the top shelf in the middle of the storage room. It's a bit high. Be careful when you hold it.

——

The storage room of the Gu family is not small, but, over the years, it has been filled without knowing it.

Fortunately, the position of chess is conspicuous enough.

Gu Xi quickly found the chess equipment on a pile of things on the shelf, Gu Xi walked by, ready to pick it up on tiptoe, but before Gu Xi could get it, Sheng Xiuyan had already taken it off.

Is there anything else? Sheng Xiuyan asked.

Gu Xi shook the contents of the box in Sheng Xiuyan's hand, and said, It should be all inside. It should be chess pieces.

Let's go. Gu Xi turned around, but met Sheng Xiuyan's eyes.

Liangdu Fang's eyes caught a moment of embarrassment.

Sensing Sheng Xiuyan's approach, Gu Xi's breathing was slightly stagnant.

However, in the next second, Gu Xi couldn't help breaking her skills and chuckled.

Aren't we like the ones who secretly sneaked about their puppy love in junior high school? Gu Xi asked with a little amusement.

Then I regret it.

Um?

If I had reacted earlier at that time, I could have done a lot of things secretly.

At least not so nervous now. Sheng Xiuyan silently added in his heart.

Don't you want to say that you... fell in love with it when you were in junior high school?

It's possible. Sheng Xiuyan's voice was a little deep.

Immediately, Sheng Xiuyan lowered his head and kissed Gu Xi lightly.

For a moment, both of them were taken aback.

When you're in love with someone, you can't hide your nervousness.

Even though Sheng Xiuyan tried his best to appear calm, Gu Xi could still feel Fang's nervousness.

Due to being too close, Gu Xi could even clearly hear Fang Ji's irregular heartbeat. And my own.

——Fortunately, when she came in, Gu Xi thought she was going out soon, so she didn't turn on the light.

Otherwise, his face is flushed now, and he is ashamed to death.

Gu Xi thought to herself.

Coincidentally, Sheng Xiuyan thought so too.

The ghost knows how nervous he is now: the palms of his clenched hands are covered with sweat.

Originally it was just a light kiss, but both of them were reluctant to part.

Just then, the half-open door was pushed open.

Have you got it? No, Grandpa doesn't want chess anymore. He wants to pk with Grandpa Shen...

Fuck, you——!
