The wealthy boss was picked up by me and brought home

At dusk, the old buildings were covered with a golden light, which made them look softer.

Many people passed by on the concrete road, most of them were people who had worked all day and small carts selling goods.

Wen Xiaoqiu carried a few bags of things and walked briskly to the entrance of the alley that he had to go home. His round and bright almond eyes reflected his eager anticipation, and he looked around.

When his eyes fixed on the familiar and tall figure of the man not far away, his fair face instantly became brighter, revealing a kind of happiness that couldn't be hidden.

It has been a long time since he saw the shadow of those people in this alley that used to scare him, and now he feels more at ease.

Gu Xiao was wearing a black hoodie with a sweater hood over his head to cover his face. He stood casually leaning against the wall, with a cigarette in his mouth, and took out a lighter from his pocket to light it. breath.

He took a breath casually, looked up and saw the young man trotting towards him.

"Let's go." Wen Xiaoqiu said shyly.

Gu Xiao hummed in a low voice, and walked home side by side in a familiar way. By the way, after taking a few quick puffs of cigarettes, he extinguished the flame and threw it into the trash can.

Wen Xiaoqiu looked at the man's actions and thought he was handsome. He used to be like other boys in the orphanage. He smoked a cigarette out of curiosity and thought it was very masculine.

"Why is it a bit late today?" Gu Xiao asked suddenly.

Wen Xiaoqiu came out of his thoughts, pursed his lips and smiled shyly, raised the bag in his hand and shook it: "I went to the vegetable market and bought meat and dumpling wrappers. The dumplings I made are delicious! You , would you like some too?"

Gu Xiao saw at a glance the cautiousness and anticipation of the person in front of him, he stared at Wen Xiaoqiu in silence for a few seconds before replying: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Wen Xiaoqiu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help looking down at the road with the corners of his mouth crooked to hide his little expression. He didn't know what happened recently. His heart would speed up with Gu Xiao's words or even a movement. He didn't experience However, I don't understand what this phenomenon means.

In the past, the two of them ate independently, their identities were not at the same level, and their hobbies were naturally different, but today, he just wanted men to try his own cooking inexplicably.

With this small expectation, Wen Xiaoqiu rushed to the kitchen to chop meat stuffing and make dumplings as soon as he got home. After a while of busy work, his hands were covered with flour and meat oil.

Gu Xiao held a cup of coffee in his hand, and entered the kitchen while drinking. When he saw that someone was ready and was about to pick up the apron that he had forgotten, he caught the needle and took it in his hand first.

"I'll help you."

After speaking, he looped his arms from the back to the person's chest, half-circling the person in his arms, and after finishing the front, he paused for a while before fastening the belt on the back.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a deliberate tease. Wen Xiaoqiu feels the man's breath spraying on the back of her head. Hearing the steady breathing, she feels a little confused.

He hastily withdrew from the man's arms, stammered and said yes, then began to work hard without thinking wildly.

The dumplings don't need to be cooked for too long, they will be ready in no time, Wen Xiaoqiu, with a rare excitement, picked up one that had cooled down and handed it to Gu Xiao's mouth without much thought.

"Come on, have a taste?"

Gu Xiao glanced at the food and at the people before opening his mouth to take it.

"How is it?" Wen Xiaoqiu asked, but he didn't know that his eyes were full of three words of praise.

Gu Xiao inexplicably felt that this little dwarf was a little cute, he was different from everyone he had met abroad, and he could be so happy for such a small thing.

In order to make people happy, he also told the truth and replied: "Very good."

Wen Xiaoqiu smirked, and continued to work a little shyly. After stirring the spoon a few times, he heard the man ask, "Why do you suddenly want to make dumplings today?"

He paused for a moment, then returned to his original state, and replied with some awkwardness and hesitation: "Today... I celebrate my birthday."

Gu Xiao didn't pretend to be surprised, but took out a six-inch small cake from the refrigerator next to it with a groan.

"This tastes very good. I suddenly wanted to eat it, so I brought one for you to try. It just so happens that since it's your birthday, I'll make it a birthday cake. Happy birthday, Xiaoqiu."

The man's voice was magnetic, deep, mellow and pleasant to listen to. When Wen Xiaoqiu heard the last few words, he was stunned. He had never had anyone to help him celebrate his birthday. The orphanage was very poor when he was a child and couldn't take care of them at all.

He sniffed his nose and deflated his mouth, with an uncontrollable tremor in his tone: "Can you, say it again?"

Of course Gu Xiao knew what he meant, so he didn't ask much, just said happy birthday again.

Wen Xiaoqiu's eyes are red and his pupils are gradually stained with mist. Perhaps other people will not understand that in this world, having someone to talk with him, cook and eat with him, and say happy birthday is the most extravagant thing for him who is lonely.

"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely taste it."

Gu Xiao's deep eyes never left the man, Wen Xiaoqiu's reaction was bigger than he expected, he slowly approached, and raised his head to caress the reddened corners of the eyes.

Feeling the smooth skin on his hands, he had a panoramic view of the fragile appearance of the person in front of him.

The sound of breathing and heartbeat of the two intertwined, Wen Xiaoqiu felt the temperature of the man's fingers in a daze, and also felt the ambiguity and charm of the atmosphere at the moment.

It took more than ten seconds like this, and the two suddenly turned their heads and closed their hands in a tacit understanding, diverging from this weird development.

Gu Xiao restrained himself and didn't say any more, his goal for today has been achieved.

In fact, he already knew about Wen Xiaoqiu's birthday. After all, he sent Qu Zhen to investigate thoroughly about this person. He didn't like cake at all, and it was prepared by Qu Zhen. It was just an excuse to enhance the relationship.

He knows best in his heart that for a person like Wen Xiaoqiu who lacks love, has low self-esteem and is sensitive, as long as others show a little kindness and gentleness to him, he will be flattered, and casual charity and care can be exchanged for his sincere treatment.

The two of them had dinner, and when Wen Xiaoqiu went to wash up, Qu Zhen came.

Gu Xiao walked out of the house with him, and he handed over the document bag in his hand: "This is what the old man asked me to give to you. It is some secrets of your Gu family, which will help you fight your second uncle, and... Gu The old man is probably going to die soon, it's only been a matter of these two weeks."

Hearing Gu Xiao's action of flipping through the documents, he stopped for a moment, and he gritted his teeth in silence, the veins on his forearm became obvious due to the emotional forbearance.

He had to see his grandfather for the last time. No matter what the price was, the death of his grandfather meant that the will would soon take effect.

His gaze slowly moved into the house, as if he could see the people inside through the door, he needed to speed up his progress.
