Looking forward to returning home

There is a whole south-facing window in the living room of Gu's family. There is a layer of gauze curtains in front of it, and the thicker blackout curtains are tied to the side. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

I don't know who didn't close the window tightly when they went out, and accidentally left a small gap, only one or two centimeters wide. The temperature dropped a little at night, and there was a lot of wind outside, which made the wind outside the house blow inward. There was a whining sound when it was scraped in.

Gu Yanxiao pulled up the outer gauze curtain, looked at the slit, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is it this voice?"

"Seems to be......"

An Lin also stared at the seam and became thoughtful.

So what was that bang?

Gu Yanxiao looked left and right, and his gaze was fixed on the curtain hanging ball that tied the curtain not far away. Two knots were trapped in one place, and there was a large tassel pendant attached to the bottom.

It was probably the sound of this thing being blown up by the wind, falling down and hitting the wall.

Because the living room is too empty and quiet, the movement is amplified all at once, and it is particularly obvious to the ears of children.

The two people, one big and one small, just stood in front of the window and remained silent for a while.

Gu Yanxiao sighed, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just the wind. Let's go eat first."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to push the window shut, only to hear a click, and the lock was automatically locked, and the whining sound disappeared.

An Lin didn't know what the person on the other side of the screen was thinking, whether it really didn't matter, or was he forced to smile.

She wanted to share some of the pressure for Gu Yanxiao, but it was obviously beyond her current ability, otherwise why would she choose to come out.

An Lin lowered her eyes slightly to hide the self-blame and powerlessness in them, blinked her eyelashes twice, smiled again, and said softly: "Okay."

Gu Yanxiao chose not to tell, so she didn't ask.

"Are you going to the company later?" An Lin looked at the tiredness between her brows, and then remembered how she frowned just now, and asked.

If it's nothing serious, Gu Yanxiao usually won't get up until after eight o'clock, but now it's only a little after seven o'clock.

"At nine o'clock, I made a conference call with President Chen of Shengda. It was originally arranged last night, but it was postponed until today because I had to go back to the old house." Gu Yanxiao said.

A trace of displeasure flashed in An Lin's eyes, but he didn't express it in his tone, but continued to ask: "What about after that?"

"There are still some contract documents that have not been processed last night..." After Gu Yanxiao finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

An Lin frowned: "Did you go to the company to work overtime after you came back from the old house?"

"..." Gu Yanxiao knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he had no choice but to hide it. He nodded and admitted, "Because there are two contracts that I need urgently, and I have to send them over early this morning, so there should be no delay."

When talking to An Lin, she didn't have to be as tense as she usually is in the company, so she probably didn't think about some words, and just said them out of her mouth.

"Sister Mu Shu is with you?"

"No, myself."

"Yourself?" An Lin's eyes widened a little, "Did you drive back by yourself? When did you get home?"

This person usually arrives home at twelve o'clock at the latest, and the car picks up and drops off. Why did she seem to be in a mess as soon as she came out.

"..." Gu Yanxiao showed some reluctance on his face.

"Don't hide it from me." An Lin's voice became a little deeper, but she gained some momentum.

"Early morning." Gu Yanxiao spat out two words.

"What time." An Lin saw that she wanted to exploit the loopholes in the text, and didn't even give her a chance.

Gu Yanxiao shook his hand holding the phone, pursed his lips, and replied, "Around two o'clock..."

"..." An Lin laughed angrily, "Did you drive home alone at two o'clock in the morning? Don't you know how expensive your body is sitting on the YA president's seat?"

I don't know how many people are thinking about it, but she doesn't pay much attention to it, how can she let An Lin feel at ease.

Suddenly, the thoughts that she had put aside for a moment gradually came back and rushed into her mind.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Yanxiao with burning eyes, and asked, "Where are you?"

Gu Yanxiao was startled by An Lin's serious demeanor and tone just now, but then heard her talking to her in a slow and soft tone, and the question asked her wanted to make her escape again.

And after An Lin asked this question, her narrow eyes narrowed even more, and she observed Gu Yanxiao's position through the corner of the phone camera.

When Gu Yanxiao was studying for a master's degree, she began to slowly participate in the YA project, so for the convenience of going in and out, she bought an apartment between the YA building and Midtown University, basically in the center of Yangcheng City , transportation is very convenient.

And when An Lin was in high school, he went to the fifth middle school, not far away, so he moved out together.

Gu Yanxiao worried that if An Lin lived alone in the villa, Gu Sheng and Guo Miao would not have so much time to take care of her, and would not pay too much attention to her.Although she is busy with work and school, she can take care of everything. After thinking about it, she should let An Lin come and live with her. Even if she is too busy, she can ask Jiang Mushu to take care of her.

An Lin didn't live in the house that Gu Shiyong bought for An Lin in Xiangjiang Mansion for a long time, and she slowly moved her things into it after the college entrance examination.

At that time, Gu Yanxiao was so dizzy with a new cooperation project that he didn't notice An Lin's abnormality for a while.

An Lin is very familiar with Gu Yanxiao's bedroom, even more so than her own, so she can tell that the place where Gu Yanxiao is now is not the bedroom in Gu Yanxiao's own apartment.

Both the decoration style and the bedside accessories are very different.

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

Because of the pajamas that Gu Yanxiao was wearing.

It was a set of light gray pajamas, with a lot of white stripes falling from the hem of the short sleeves on the upper body, and a waist design. Even if you can only see the position above Gu Yanxiao's shoulders, the lower part is not there. Appearing in the screen shot, even though Gu Yanxiao only wore it once or twice, An Lin still remembered how well-proportioned and beautiful it made her figure when it was worn by Gu Yanxiao.

Because it was bought by An Lin for Gu Yanxiao, together with several other sets of pajamas, it has been kept in the bedroom prepared for Gu Yanxiao in Xiangjiang Mansion, and she will change it every time she comes to live here, but now , it was actually worn by Gu Yanxiao...

Gu Yanxiao didn't notice these details by herself, or she was stared at by An Lin's too hot eyes and had no time to think about them.

"You are in Xiangjiang Mansion, right?"

Even if it was an answer that An Lin had already affirmed in her heart, she still couldn't wait to ask, hoping to get Gu Yanxiao's affirmative reply.

Gu Yanxiao only felt that she could feel the enthusiasm and anticipation in An Lin's eyes through the screen, like a Samoyed who only seeks praise, her thick black eyelashes fluttering subconsciously.

She bit her lower lip lightly, but didn't answer right away.

"Yan Xiao."

An Lin called her name in a soft but strong voice.

Gu Yanxiao's ears became hot again.

Obviously, there are countless people who call her like this from childhood to adulthood, why does it feel so different to her when it comes from An Lin's mouth.

It was as if the whole heartstrings were being plucked by her.

After the sentence, both of them remained silent and did not speak again.

An Lin didn't speak anymore, she was waiting for Gu Yanxiao's reply to her.

Faintly, they could only hear each other's slight breathing.

In the end, Gu Yanxiao was still defeated, didn't open his mouth, just exhaled softly from his nose, and snorted as a response.

An Lin immediately smiled, narrowed her eyes, and showed her little tiger teeth.

And Gu Yanxiao obviously seemed to have been exposed, and there was nothing he could do.

The thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain the situation, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he struggled for a long time without uttering a word.

An Lin had given Gu Yanxiao the key to the apartment in Jiangfu, Gu Yanxiao's hometown earlier, but Gu Yanxiao never took the initiative to go there, and always went with An Lin.

She didn't expect Gu Yanxiao to go to Xiangjiang Mansion at this time.

Also stayed one night.

And...where she sleeps...is her bed.

Gu Yanxiao wanted to escape this predicament: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early, and I have to go to the company."

An Lin seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and naturally didn't want to let it go, so she followed her words and asked, "Why did you go?"

Gu Yanxiao paused for a moment, tightened his fingers holding the phone, stared at the thin quilt covering his body, hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice, "It's too deserted there."

Because An Lin moved all her belongings from Gu Yanxiao's apartment to Xiangjiang Mansion, and there was nothing left.

Back there, what greeted me was no longer a happy smiling face, but a dark room and cold air.

There was only her, Gu Yanxiao, alone.

It was better when An Lin hadn't left Yangcheng, at least they were in the same city, and they could see each other whenever they wanted.

But now everything seems to have changed.

Now that An Lin has nothing to do with the Gu family, she feels that she has no reason to meet An Lin.

It was as if a piece of the heart had been ripped out, and something important had been lost.

She always felt that she didn't have any great ideals and ambitions, and that all her progress was in accordance with the requirements of the Gu family, and she was properly arranged and implemented smoothly.

At such an age, the only person who can cause her mood swings is that one person.

Like... a big tree with her as its core.

Now, when her heart is far away, she feels confused.

I wanted to hide in a place where she smelled and seek some comfort when no one knew about it, but I never wanted to be noticed by her.

Hearing Gu Yanxiao's whisper, An Lin's heart tightened, and the sourness gradually overflowed, flooding his chest.

She gritted her teeth, controlled her emotional changes, and said with red eyes: "Yan Xiao, what should I do...I miss you, but I can't hug you."
