dinner for three

Two weeks after the school celebration, the final exam is due. There is a saying that falling in love may affect the grades. Although he is more absent-minded than before, Xu Yifan still retains the first place in the grade list with a barely passable grade at the end of the semester. s position.And there is no suspense, Gu Miao is still far ahead of No.1, the list of junior high school and senior high school are both in the same position at the school gate, but because there are four grades between the two, there is also a gap of four in the middle. Increased gilding of grade ranking tables.

But even so, Xu Yifan is still very content, because he can be on the same level as the person he likes.In the photo, Gu Miao had a reserved smile, and in the other photo, Xu Yifan had a firm expression. Judging from the two photos, I don't think they have anything in common.But Xu Yifan felt that the distance between the two of them was very different from when they had no intersection. Now that he had planned a future with Gu Miao, although he knew that with his family's ability, he could follow Gu Miao wherever he wanted. , but even so, he is still more willing to use his own efforts to narrow the distance between the two, and learning is an inevitable direction to work hard.

Of course, there are annoying things, along with the oncoming hot summer, there is also a long and boring vacation.

In Xu Yifan's mind, the arrival of summer vacation is equivalent to a long-term vacation. You can choose any latitude and longitude from the world map to enjoy the bustling city or get close to nature. You can promote your relationship with your parents you haven't seen for a long time. You can use any method you like Spending his youth with his buddies, even though he just entered junior high school, Xu Yifan has really done a lot of clubbing, dancing and having fun all night.In life, the most important thing is to have fun in time, as long as you don't ask for too much, in fact, a satisfying life is not bad.

However, this year is different. The arrival of the summer vacation only means one thing, that Gu Miao will not be seen for a while.

Because of the youthful feeling that Gu Miao can't get rid of as long as he faces Gu Miao, Gu Miao probably doesn't know who he is until now, so he can't get into the room in a high-sounding manner and find excuses to meet each other. With Xu Linfeng's somewhat awkward relationship, Xu Yifan had no choice but to think of the consequences, and could only find a way to slowly integrate into Gu Miao's world.

I have obtained the qualification to make lunch for him, but how can I go further? Because of the limited imagination, Yifan can't expand it for a while.I haven't figured out why yet, it's already summer vacation.On the first day of the holiday, Xu Yifan hadn't gotten up from the bed yet, the temperamental Mrs. Xu and the domineering Mr. Xu finally fell from the sky as if remembering that he had such a son and such a family.His mother picked up Xu Yifan's handsome face with slender fingers and gave a satisfied mouthful, telling her son to get up and pack his luggage to catch the plane.

Xu Yifan was sleepy, seeing Mrs. Xu's sky-hating high heels seemed to be stepping on something, got out of bed in a daze, took a shower and changed clothes, and when he came back, he found his report card lying listlessly on the ground. There are still Mrs. Xu's shoe prints that are full of aristocratic atmosphere. If they fall off, they don't even look at them and don't want to pick them up. No matter who makes their parents care nothing about Xu Yifan's grades.

This year's travel plan didn't even allow Xu Yifan to choose, and he wanted to refuse at first.But when he thought that even if he stayed during the long vacation, besides being able to breathe the air in the same city as Gu Miao, and having no chance to see Gu Miao at all, Xu Yifan still compromised.Flying directly to the African savannah with his father and mother, sitting in a glass car and chasing antelopes with lions for a month was very pleasant.

Xu Yifan also bought a lot of local souvenirs for the first time, as long as he thought it was something that Gu Miao might like, he wanted to buy it. go home.

When the holiday was coming to an end, Xu Yifan got a full tan, and when he finally returned home in the evening, his parents who had been with him for more than a month seemed to have evaporated, celebrating the world of two and discussing their plans to make a fortune.After distributing the presents to Aunt Zhou and Feifei, when he was about to stuff the souvenirs that symbolized his love for Gu Miao into his room, the mobile phone that was put aside suddenly rang.

The caller was Xu Linfeng. After almost a holiday of high school make-up classes, the caller still sounded energetic.

"Little ghost? Did you remember to bring me a gift?"

"Yes, you are at home, but if you want, come and get it yourself."

"It's really indifferent, hmph, it seems that you have already forgotten about your good brother."

"..."

Xu Yifan couldn't remember what he forgot, so Xu Linfeng who was opposite could only sigh helplessly.

"The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and you can't remember it every year, thanks to my being so kind to you!"

"There will be a birthday party at my house that night, remember to bring your generous gift and arrive on time!"

It turned out to be this one, Xu Yifan really doesn't remember it, he looked at the extremely careless rhinoceros-shaped key chain he brought to Xu Linfeng, and frowned in distress, as if he couldn't give it away, forget it and hurry up tomorrow buy one.

"You have so many friends I don't know, why do you have to find me, I don't like too many strangers."

"Don't make excuses, you haven't come to my birthday meeting since I was a child, and I'm 18 this year, but it's a coming-of-age ceremony."

Xu Yifan is just talking, and he will definitely go in the end.After hanging up the phone, it took a long time to clean up the room before filling the room with African handicrafts. The whole house seemed to have a wild and natural smell.Xu Yifan sat on the carved wooden chair he brought from Africa and began to worry again. If it was a coming-of-age ceremony, would he need any special gift? What special gift could he give?

However, since it is Xu Linfeng's birthday party, does that mean that Gu Miao is likely to go?

Counting the time, Gu Miao and Xu Linfeng probably weren't too familiar at this time last year. He had never seen the reserved and introverted Gu Miao at Xu Linfeng's birthday party.But this year is different. Although Gu Miao's family conditions are very poor, Xu Linfeng also has friends whose family background is quite different from his own. In this way, even if he invites Gu Miao to go, it will not cause too much damage to Gu Miao's self-esteem. .

Thinking of this, Xu Yifan became excited, wishing he could give all the things in this house to Gu Miao the day after tomorrow.

But just thinking about it, there is probably no valid reason for him to want to give something, and he can only give it to Xu Linfeng.

When his eyes fell on the small wooden antelope carefully selected by Xu Yifan in the corner, his eyes dimmed a bit, and then suddenly brightened again.This little antelope looks delicate, and its decorations are made of the finest Namibian crystals, especially the blue eyes, which are made of the most expensive rough stones. It looks watery and very similar Gu Miao.

Such a cute little thing, maybe that carefree Xu Linfeng didn't think it was suitable for him, so he just gave it to Gu Miao.

Then let Feifei Sisi wrap this gift with great care. If there is any chance that this gift will fall into Gu Miao's hands, Xu Yifan will be full of energy, wishing to wrap this little thing in a golden light .In order to leave a good impression on Gu Miao, she went to order new clothes the next day, making herself look like a three-dimensional little prince.

I was even more satisfied with looking in the mirror before going out that night. No matter from which angle I looked, I was much more handsome than Xu Linfeng.

When the butler sent Xu Yifan to the door, many people had already arrived at Xu Linfeng's mansion.Because it is a coming-of-age ceremony, the ostentation is a bit more exaggerated than in previous years.Among the people who came, apart from Xu Linfeng's good friends in school, there were also Xu Linfeng's group of young children who were born with extraordinary backgrounds, and many businessmen who had frequent contacts with Xu Linfeng's father also came to join him.But Xu Linfeng's house is big, and most of his peers are arranged on the third floor, and most irrelevant people are on the first and second floors so as not to interfere too much with young people's affairs.

After Xu Yifan greeted his uncle and aunt, he left the gift downstairs and couldn't wait to go up to the third floor.Pushing open the door, his eyes didn't linger on today's protagonist for an extra second. Even though there were many people in the room, he still found Gu Miao in the corner within a few seconds.He ate small bites of a small cake on one side of the plate, and he was still carrying the heavy-looking schoolbag on his back.

Gu Miao didn't seem to be very familiar with anyone except Xu Yifan. Although those classmates were sitting around and chatting enthusiastically with each other, it could be seen that Gu Miao obviously had no way to intervene except for a friendly smile. The topic of their wild and unconstrained style.And Xu Linfeng was caught in the pile of hair and couldn't get out, and he had no time to take care of Gu Miao who was full of anxiety about the surrounding environment.It was not easy for Xu Yifan, he was surrounded by a group of beautiful sisters when he entered the door, and he was amazed why the Xu family had such delicate faces.

That's why Xu Yifan doesn't like places where there are too many strangers, he is always easy to become the object of people's chatting and discussion.Even politely perfunctory one by one will take a long time, let alone someone directly dragged him to sit down, as if talking all night.Facing those faces that looked like flowers and jade, Xu Yifan was full of complaints about Xu Linfeng, a guy who attracts bees and butterflies.

After he finally found an excuse to go to the toilet and got away, he found that Gu Miao in the corner had disappeared.

Xu Linfeng also disappeared. I heard that Xu Linfeng was called downstairs to meet a very important guest just now.The person who spoke was Li Chang, Xu Linfeng's hair boy, who made his eyes crooked with laughter when he mentioned that guest.

"It's that Deng Xian. Did you ever call her sister before? You've been abroad all the time, and you look perfect."

"It's said to be a coming-of-age ceremony, how can Uncle Deng not make any movement, I'm afraid he wants to settle the matter between the two quickly."

"Linfeng is really lucky, there are a bunch of girls around everywhere, and now there is another top quality who is all over the world."

Xu Yifan doesn't like to hear these things, because all the things that happened to Xu Linfeng, because of the similar family, may happen to him one day.He never felt that there was any kind of luck in this. A person fell from the sky and had to be with him, no matter whether this person was as beautiful as a fairy or not, the feeling that this kind of fate had been predetermined was not good.

It's not surprising that Li Chang said that Xu Linfeng was not only unhappy when he went downstairs, but his brows were almost knotted.

After going to the bathroom, the banquet is about to officially begin.Xu Yifan was about to go to the main hall, but the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. He heard a low exclamation from a crowded place, and he guessed that this was probably created for the purpose of creating an atmosphere, because the house is special. Even when all the lights are off, the wall will emit a little bit of faint light, and he can basically see everything around him. He subconsciously supported the wall and was about to go forward, but he was caught by a person who emerged from the back room. He bumped into it rashly.The man was taller than him, and apologized as soon as he bumped into him, trying to hide the panic in his voice.

Xu Yifan was stunned when he heard his voice, because the person who bumped into him was actually Gu Miao.

Turning around nervously, she met Gu Miao's clean and warm eyes.Xu Yifan tried his best to restrain himself but couldn't hide his heartbeat that accelerated instantly. He was about to say something casually, but the other party fumbled for his hot hand in the next second.

Gu Miao's hand was cold, plus the time he touched his forehead, this was the second time he touched it.

Xu Yifan felt that a big cookie probably fell from the sky, the happiness came so suddenly that he was about to be knocked out.

Immediately afterwards, although Gu Miao was very nervous, she still rang in her ear with a comforting voice.

"It's dark here, don't be afraid, I'll take you by the hand."

Xu Yifan nodded obediently and stared at him, but unfortunately Gu Miao didn't see that he actually had quite serious night blindness.

Before Xu Linfeng went downstairs, he was worried that he would not be able to go back upstairs for a while, and seeing that Gu Miao, who was not very familiar with everyone, was obviously tired, so he took him to the lounge first.It may be that seeing the time on the marble clock was almost on time, Gu Miao was afraid that Xu Linfeng would be too busy to take care of him, so he planned to go there first, but he didn't expect that all the lights went out as soon as he reached the door.

He couldn't see clearly in the dark environment, so he bumped into Xu Yifan's side by mistake.

He could only make out the outline of the person for a few seconds after hitting him.She was a little younger than herself, so she should still be a child. Although the other party didn't speak, Gu Miao felt that the other party was in a state of extreme tension, like a string that was about to snap.Forgetting that he might be the only one who couldn't see things clearly, although he was also uneasy about the dark surroundings, he subconsciously held the boy's hand tightly.

"I will protect you." He said in a soft voice, and carefully exchanged places with the young man. He was worried that the child with an unstable temper might come out of this mansion, and he would just throw him away in disgust. hand.Unexpectedly, after a short hesitation, the young man holding Gu Miao's hand immediately backhanded tightly as if afraid of being thrown away by him, and moved his body secretly to a position closer to him.

Gu Miao let out a sigh of relief, and could only rely on the noise to continue to explore the main hall.One hand gently supported the wall, and the other hand could not be freed because he was holding the "lost boy" behind him, so he could only slowly use his outstretched leg to make sure there was no obstacle.Xu Yifan followed him for a long time in a short distance. He guessed that Gu Miao's night vision ability was extremely poor, so he dared to hold his hand and stare at him so recklessly. go down.

Seeing that Gu Miao was about to touch the decoration in the corridor, Xu Yifan gently pulled him back.Gu Miao walked a little faster, but he also tugged slightly selfishly.When he reached the door, Xu Linfeng inside had already started cutting the cake by candlelight.Because Gu Miao and Xu Yifan were not at the scene and he had to accept the forced surprise here, Xu Linfeng was still a little bit lost, and wanted to leave the best part of the five-layer cake to them. At this moment, the door opened slightly , Gu Miao was afraid of affecting everyone, so he only dared to poke his head out quietly, but because the atmosphere was too hot, only Xu Linfeng noticed him.

Just as he was about to take the child in, he didn't expect the child to let go of his hand, looking in a dilemma.Only then did Gu Miao guess that the child might be a servant's child and it was inconvenient to go in. It seemed that when he reached the stairway, the light suddenly turned on.Gu Miao subconsciously squinted her eyes to adapt to the light, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the child was missing.

While in a daze, Xu Linfeng had already walked to the door and handed the cut cake to Gu Miao with a smile, a little sorry for not being able to bring him here in time.Although it was a bit regretful to miss Xu Linfeng's candle-blowing and wishing session, Gu Miao happily took the cake.

The cake is honey-colored, and Xu Linfeng's English name is written in chocolate in smooth lines on it. It can be seen that it is a carefully selected piece.

But when they reached out to pick it up, both Xu Linfeng and Gu Miao noticed that there were a few faint fingerprints on the back of Gu Miao's white hand, as if they had just been added.Gu Miao thought of the child just now, and smiled dotingly: "Just now in the corridor, there was a child who was afraid of the dark and followed me all the way. He was so scared that he held my hand a little too hard."

Xu Linfeng didn't speak any more, he took Gu Miao in and sat down to eat cake.Gu Miao liked sweets very much, and she finished eating them in a while, and Xu Linfeng also gave him the piece that was left for Xu Yifan.

Gu Miao was a little embarrassed, but Xu Linfeng just pouted helplessly.

"Who knows where the young master went?"
