you may never have loved me

Yan Li walked down the steps, and he came to pick up Qu Lingxi.

Qu Lingxi turned her head and asked Gu Shen: "Is it okay to add one person to dinner today?"

He was referring to Yan Li, but Gu Shen didn't say anything.Qu Ling regretted that he was the default.

When Yan Li got closer, Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party, and asked, "Did you guys meet in Liangcheng?"

Qu Lingxi nodded.

Gu Shen hummed, and remained silent for a while, "That's not reliable."

Quling is in awe of tears and laughter.Gu Shen seldom commented on other people's private life, if he could say the word "unreliable", how unreliable he must be.

yes.He, Gu Shen, was originally such a person.

He once taught Yaya that a person can only love one person in a lifetime.

People like Qu Lingxi who don't love themselves and have a romantic relationship in a strange city must be looked down upon.

Qu Lingxi smiled, and didn't seem to care much about Gu Shen's evaluation, "It's okay. He treats me very well."

Hearing this, Gu Shen frowned imperceptibly, but Qu Lingxi didn't notice.

When Yan Li walked in front of him, everyone was surprised to notice that

Qu Lingxi's prospective boyfriend is a bit like their boss.If you want to say that there are some similarities, in fact there are not even three points.Yan Li's appearance may be rated as excellent in the crowd, but once he is compared with Gu Shen, the score will not be judged at all.

But those eyes are really similar.

At this moment, Su looked at Qu Lingxi with complicated eyes.If he didn't know that Qu Lingxi had known Yan Li earlier, he would definitely have mistakenly thought that Qu Lingxi couldn't ask for anything from his boss, and instead found a man with similar eyes to Gu Shen's.

Commonly known as... a double.

Yaya's watery eyes also lingered on Gu Shen and Yan Li.

Yaya, who has always been a little slow in the world, has discovered the similarities between the two, and it is impossible for Gu Shen himself not to notice.

Yan Li himself was also a little surprised, he quickly judged Gu Shen's central position among these few people, and after a friendly smile, he was the first to shake hands with him politely.

Gu Shen didn't move, his flawless but sharp profile turned towards Qu Lingxi.

"Xiao Xi." Gu Shen asked, "Can you tell me what your friend's last name is?"

Little pity?When did Gu Shen call him that?

Qu Lingxi's head seemed to be filled with a bag of paste, he couldn't guess the reason why Gu Shen called him so.

This little pity is like a poison wrapped in honey, making Qu Lingxi's throat sweet and astringent, but it is drinking poison to quench thirst.

Yan Li moved his lips, wanting to introduce himself, he showed a standard smile that is common in the workplace, "Hello, my last name is..."

Gu Shen interrupted him for no reason, and his eyes remained on Qu Lingxi.

Seeing that he didn't move, he patiently called out "Xiao Xi."

Qu Lingxi's mind was filled with the words "Xiaoxi", and she was about to explode.

He once imagined the scene where Gu Shen called him like that, and as long as he thought about it, the hairs on his arms would stand on end.Unexpectedly, reality made him more unable to calm down than imagination.

After a while, Qu Lingxi introduced to Gu Shen: "His surname is Yan."

"Mr. Yan." Gu Shen nodded, and asked a question that everyone didn't expect, "Who is Gu Xinzhi?"

Qu Lingxi didn't even hear what Gu Shen asked.

Yan Li heard it clearly, but said doubtfully: "...she is my aunt. But I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she is doing well recently. Do you know her?"

Gu Shen nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Qu Lingxi secretly asked Su, and said in a low voice, "Who is this Gu...what Zhi?"

They are all surnamed Gu, which sounds a bit tricky.

Before Su could explain, Gu Shen told Yan Li directly: "She is my mother. Others say that my eyes resemble hers. As soon as I saw Mr. Yan, I thought you might have some blood relationship with her, so I asked casually. .”

Yan Li was directly stunned by these few words.

He quickly realized that his mother had indeed mentioned to him that he had a cousin who was of mixed race and lived abroad.

Then the man in front of him must be it.

According to the Chinese tradition of emphasizing blood ties, at this moment he should come to a friendly or tearful confession.

But seeing that Gu Shen didn't intend to recognize his relatives at all, Yan Li also felt that it was embarrassing to call him "cousin" or "cousin's" rashly.He is really unfamiliar with Gu Xinzhi's relatives, and he doesn't even know whether Gu Shen is older or younger than him.

Yan Li thought for a while, and asked politely: "How is Auntie doing recently? Is your health okay?"

Gu Shen looked at him for a while, then said calmly: "She passed away three years ago. If you want to go to worship, you don't have to. She may not remember you either."

After hearing this sentence, Yan Li's good demeanor maintained by his professional habits could hardly hold back.

This Gu Shen is hostile towards him.

Although he didn't know where the hostility came from, this was the first time he saw this legendary half-blood relative, but he thought he had never offended him before.

It's just that the two families are usually estranged.

Yan Li smiled awkwardly, "Worship is still necessary. If you have been in country B for a long time, you may not know the traditional etiquette of our country C. People in our country value family affection most, not as indifferent as country B."

Gu Shen chuckled lightly, and said calmly, "Really? The friendship is so strong that you don't even know it's dead, and it's the first time I've seen you."

Yan Li was so angry that Gu Shen almost gritted his teeth.

This is not right, this is very wrong.

Although Qu Lingxi didn't know Gu Shen for long, she understood his character within a short period of time.Gu Shen is not such an impatient person, if he doesn't like a person, he will usually choose to be too lazy to communicate with him and show his impatience to him.Instead of being so verbal and vehement now, as if she was a few years old for no reason.

Gu Shen obviously felt that he was not like himself in this way, so he didn't want to entangle him any more.He passed Qu Lingxi, picked up the shopping bag in the trunk, and walked to the hotel on the stone steps.

Su and Yaya looked at each other.

It was not too late, but the hall was already full of people.Su moved out a small table and set up the hot pot in the courtyard of the hotel.Knowing that the atmosphere was not right, Su didn't provoke any moths anymore.

He ordered Yaya to wash the vegetables, while he stared at the boiling bottom of the pot while putting the dishes away.

Qu Ling said goodbye to nothing, and squatted in the kitchen to help Yaya wash the vegetables together.Yima and the proprietress went back and forth between the kitchen and the lobby countless times in order to serve the guests.

The kitchen seemed a little crowded.

Yaya gave Qu Lingxi a handful of celery and asked him to choose vegetables.Qu Lingxi had never been in the kitchen, let alone choose dishes.He thought he would be clumsy and be teased by Yaya.

Unexpectedly, he was very handy in choosing vegetables, and the finished product was perfect. He was also praised by the little teacher Yaya who had been doing housework since childhood for his talent.In addition, he cut vegetables very neatly, and the prediction that he accidentally cut his hand did not happen at all.

Qu Lingxi stared at the vegetable leaves in his hand, wondering if he had misjudged himself.He shouldn't be studying social relations. If he had known about it, he would have taken a class at New Oriental, and he might become a master of cooking.

Yima was finally free and looked at them curiously.

"What are you doing?"

Qu Lingxi said: "Coolie."

Yaya patted him on the shoulder lightly, somewhat disapproving.

Qu Lingxi changed his words and said: "Although I am a little tired, it is also very good to fight for delicious food."

Yima groaned, recalled a moment, and asked, "Then I have new pine nuts here, do you want more?"

Qu Lingxi's eyes lit up instantly.

He smiled sharply, "Where?"

After a while, Qu Lingxi brought a porcelain basin of pine nuts, and her mood improved a lot.

He started chatting with Yaya.

Yan Li sent a message saying that he would come to help him, but Qu Lingxi refused because the kitchen was too small.

After that, Yan Li's news revolved around Gu Shen.

He didn't dare to reveal his fear and disgust for Gu Shen in front of Qu Lingxi, so he had to ask a few words on the sidelines.How did you know Gu Shen? Why is he a mixed race not staying abroad, but what to do in China.

Qu Lingxi didn't really want to answer in depth, so she gave a few perfunctory sentences.

He took back his phone and asked Yaya curiously: "Is Gu Shen really a mixed race?"

Yaya blinked her big eyes, looking behind Qu Lingxi from time to time, hinting slightly.

Qu Lingxi rubbed his chin, "Which country is he from?"

As soon as he finished asking, he felt that he was simply stupid.Su has an obvious country B accent, and Gu Shen graduated from Jiafu University, which is known to be in country B.

Gu Shen's mixed race is clearly from country b.

"Country B." Gu Shen's unique voice sounded from behind him, "If you have any questions about me in the future, you can just ask me directly. Yaya doesn't understand either, you're embarrassing her."

Gu Shen?He has been standing behind?

Qu Lingxi was very glad that she only discussed Gu Shen's mixed nationality, and didn't abuse him behind his back, saying that he was as cold as an iceberg, otherwise it would be embarrassing enough.

He turned his head slowly, only to realize that the deity was close at hand.

This is the first time that Qu Lingxi is so close to Gu Shen, so close that he can count how many eyelashes he has, so close that he can hear his breathing and smell the faint smell of sweat on his body, which is not unpleasant.

He thought of the novels he loved to read, and the ABO world was his favorite recently.If Gu Shen is an alpha, then just releasing a little bit of his pheromone can fascinate him.

Only at such a close distance can Qu Lingxi realize that Gu Shen's eyes are neither black nor the light brown pupils of most Asians.

His pupils are very dark, a kind of dark blue that is almost black, as deep as a whirlpool, which can draw people into it.If it weren't for such a close observation, Qu Lingxi might never find it different.

Gu Shen has a natural sense of oppression, and once he gets close, it makes people feel nervous.

Qu Lingxi leaned back a little, keeping a comfortable distance, and politely revealed the truth: "That's unnecessary. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see each other in the future."

Let alone the chance of them meeting after this meal, in the long run, once the two people leave Liangcheng, they will basically never see each other.

Hearing this, Gu Shen wrinkled the tip of his nose lightly.

He said, "That's right."

Immediately afterwards, he raised the stuffy blue door curtain and walked straight out of the small and closed kitchen.
