25

After a long silence, He Zhang spoke first.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the underground garage?" He Zhang walked over first, stood beside Gu Changji, looked at Xiao Xurong, "Who is this?"

Xiao Xurong: "..."

He acted so clearly that he didn't want to know Xiao Xurong, Gu Changji wouldn't be so stupid as to introduce him again.

"I've already said what needs to be said." Gu Changji said to Xiao Xurong, "You should think about it yourself when you go back."

He Zhang pulled his arm: "Let's go."

Gu Changji just followed him away.

He didn't look back, because he was afraid of seeing Xiao Xurong's sad eyes.

But it was precisely because he didn't look back that he also missed Xiao Xurong's panic.

When He Zhang and the others were far away, he unwillingly kicked the bench.

"Oh, I don't see that you are still a double-faced person."

Xiao Xurong looked back vigilantly, and saw another man with curly hair leaning against the wall, squinting at him like a fox.

Xiao Xurong was unhappy in his heart, now he felt that he was out of breath, he didn't look like a good person, and asked bluntly: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," the beautiful man smiled frivolously, and approached him with a soft scent of perfume, "The important thing is you, little brother, you shouldn't be looking at my brother-in-law."

Xiao Xurong straightened his back, and stepped back: "Your brother-in-law? If you really want to settle the score, you should also blame He Zhang, right? He is the one who has an affair with Brother Chang Ji."

"Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Tang Zhengyu half covered his mouth, laughed like an old witch, and poked his chest with his finger, "It doesn't feel good to be dumped, brother. Are you going for a drink?"

……

"I met him by chance," Gu Changji pulled himself out first, "You just gave me the ticket today, so it doesn't matter that I made an appointment with him in advance."

He Zhang still didn't speak.If it wasn't for the sound of He Zhang's footsteps beside him, Gu Changji would have thought that there was a cloud of air beside him.

"Speak, why are you so angry, don't look like a dead man."

"Why do I need to be angry?" He Zhang sneered and opened the co-pilot's door, "It's not me who was cheated."

"You are really strange," Gu Changji followed and sat in. "Could it be that you knew Xiao Xurong before? Otherwise, how would you know he was lying to me."

"do not know."

"Then you say he lied to me? Maybe he really just..." When Gu Changji said this, he actually felt a little complacent, "I fell in love with my handsomeness..."

He Zhang lowered his head to fasten his seat belt, completely ignoring him.

"Anyway," Gu Changji started the car and looked at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, "I've already said that, everyone understands what I mean... It's just that he seems to have misunderstood the relationship between the two of us .”

At this time He Zhangcai raised his head again: "What misunderstanding?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Young Master Gu showed a small canine tooth, "He probably thinks you are my baby boy."

He Zhang: "..."

When Gu Changji saw his expression, his heart exploded, and he asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"So he also wants to be your little boy?"

Gu Changji couldn't laugh anymore.In fact, he didn't want to think carefully about the process of Xiao Xurong's approach to him, because he was afraid that he would be more or less sad if he found out that the purpose was not pure enough.

Others' New Year's Day has passed for a while, but Young Master Gu's New Year's Day has just begun.

In order to prepare for grandpa's birthday, he had to follow Wu Yingxiu and return to Zhoushan ahead of schedule.

For this matter, his parents had a rare dispute.

Gu Shuo felt that Gu Changji finally got on the right track, so he shouldn't do other things to distract him.And Wu Yingxiu's reason is "you don't have time to celebrate my father's birthday, your son must be free".

Without any suspense, Wu Yingxiu won.

Gu Changji got half a month's vacation for nothing, but he couldn't be happy.

He doesn't like to go back to his hometown, the place is remote, there are many rules, and there are many relatives.When he was a child, he was beaten by a ruler at home. Because he was too playful to practice calligraphy, he was pulled and slapped once by his grandfather.

Just one blow broke Wu Yingxiu's heart, and he was not allowed to hit him a second time.

Just that one time made Gu Changji very unhappy. He always felt that it was not a free place, and the older he got, the less he wanted to go there.

After careful calculation, it was seven or eight years ago that he went back to live there for a long time.

He Zhang's reaction to this incident was a little too calm.Gu Changji asked him if he would be nervous, but all he got was a rhetorical question: "What are you nervous about?"

Gu Changji thought it was very unscientific.

"Your hair will definitely be talked about." Gu Changji reached out to grab his bun, but was dodged.He Zhang held the back of his head and looked at him dissatisfied.

"The fact that a man gets married is unimaginable," He Zhang said, "He is really as old-fashioned as you said, I'm afraid he won't give me a second look."

"What you said makes sense. I'm his grandson, and he hasn't even glanced at me." Speaking of this, Gu Changji felt a little sad.

Wu Yingxiu cared a lot about He Zhang's thoughts, and told him a lot about the customs and particularities of his hometown along the way, and by the way, told him about his natal family's background and arrangement.

"Our family used to be a scholarly family. It has been passed down from the ancestors to my great-grandfather's generation. Later, the fame and fame in the old society could not support it. We started doing business, and there were ups and downs for a while. When the situation stabilizes, a university will be established.

When it comes to me, there is really only one crazy girl who doesn't like reading.After playing for more than twenty years, they got married.When I went on a blind date with your father-in-law, he was still a poor boy with nothing.

Only after he made his first pot of gold did he dare to tell me about marriage.Because I am the only child in my family, my parents always hold me in their hands, and no one dares to speak harshly to me..."

While playing a stand-alone game, Gu Changji interrupted at the right time: "Who dares to speak harshly to you? If you say one word to you, you will curse ten times..."

Wu Yingxiu slashed his head with a knife.

"I'm so stupid!" Gu Changji covered his head.

"I'm not smart at all." Wu Yingxiu said mercilessly.

After hearing this, He Zhang turned his head away from looking at the mother and son, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Just such a small gesture was seen by Gu Changji, and his mood suddenly improved.

The two of them obviously didn't talk, but they seemed to have quietly passed some kind of information.

Throwing a small stone into the ancient deep pool, it quickly sank into it, and only had time to stir up a layer of faint ripples, which spread round and round.

They arrived at their hometown at dinner time.

For most of his life, the old man liked to be quiet, and he didn't like to stay in the busy metropolis when he was old, and lived in the old house at home.

This is a walking horse building that occupies a very large area.Brick-carved brackets, blue tiles and white walls, and two majestic stone lions at the door.

Entering from the big and high door frame, it is a huge and symmetrical yard, with several stone jars filled with lotus placed on both sides, but unfortunately there are no lotus flowers in sight at this moment, only a few pieces of lotus floating on the water leaf.

The structure of the front house has hardly changed, but it has been renovated on the basis of the previous one. There is an idle swallow's nest hidden on the high beams.

The old man took a few people and stood at the gate of the front room to meet them.

It was colder here than in Shanghai, Gu Changji took off his mask, the tip of his nose turned red from the cold, and he sneezed violently.

Wu Yingxiu told him to hurry into the house, Gu Changji led He Zhang past the old man, and shouted "Hello, Mr. Ga".The old man didn't look like an 80-year-old man at all, he was full of energy, and he didn't look old in the slightest.

He glanced at Gu Changji, responded slightly, and then turned his gaze to He Zhang again.

He Zhang said hello politely, and handed over his gift. The old man was not in a hurry to accept it, and asked Gu Changji with a smile, is this the boy he was looking for?

Gu Changji touched his nose, and he felt a little shy when he said that, as if it really happened.

He asked about He Zhang's age and job, and how the two met, and nodded thoughtfully.

What Gu Changji despises the most is the pretentiousness of the older generation. He has already figured it out clearly early on, so he insists on interrogating a few questions in a pretentious manner to show the majesty of his elders.

"He's a reliable kid."

After the old man gave such an evaluation, he asked his cousin to take them to the room.

There are five big rooms in this house. The front room is used for entertaining, the main room is for the old man, and the back room is left unused all the year round, basically used for guests.The room on the left is for my aunt's family, and the room on the right is usually where Gu Changji and his family live when they come back.

Gu Changji heard that grandpa and grandma quarreled in the past, and grandma was going to separate the family, so she moved to the right wing room by herself.Wu Yingxiu also prefers this place, because he can see a nice river view in the future.

This time they lived in the right wing room.

Going around from the main house, you have to go through a corridor, cross the screen wall, and then you will arrive at the small courtyard on the east.

It's really a big space. If you want to visit it from beginning to end, I'm afraid it will take half an afternoon.

He Zhang walked into the wing room, facing a small hall with tables and benches, and a picture of a lady stretched horizontally in the middle.Below the picture is a vase with a simple bunch of flowers in it.

On the right hand side is a half-open lattice window door, inside is Gu Changji's room.

There is a simple lacquered and carved bed in the huge room, and there are only cabinets left for decoration, not even a spare couch.

Although I haven't lived there many times, the layout has not changed.

Gu Changji asked his cousin: "The two of us live in this room?"

Where he used to sleep alone, now he wants to sleep with He Zhang, which always makes him feel that something is wrong, weird, as if he wants to share some of his memories with He Zhang.

"That's right," my cousin giggled, "Could it be that your newly married couple still sleep in separate rooms?"

Gu Changji couldn't argue with a hundred words, he couldn't say anything more, so he languished.

He Zhang put the box behind the cabinet and took a look.The decoration in the bedroom was also very particular, and there were paintings on the beams, but he couldn't recognize what the paintings were.

The first thing Gu Changji did was lie down on the bed, and tried to see if the mattress was soft enough.

"The bed here really hasn't been changed for ten years." Gu Changji simply kicked off his shoes, rolled up the bedding, and wrapped himself in it. "It's still comfortable to lie on."

"Are you sleeping now?"

"Don't sleep," Gu Changji said, "I'm cold."

He Zhang ignored him, turned around the room, and turned his gaze to the ear room again.This ten-square-meter space in the corner was used as a study.

The window was half opened, but there was still a little light coming in, enough to see the layout inside.

The table is dark and heavy, and there are two plain brushes hanging on the white porcelain pen holder, and there is a paperweight beside it.

The enamel scroll vat beside the table is filled with rolls of calligraphy.These are all things that Gu Changji used to use, and the word "Changji" is inlaid on the blue and white porcelain ink tank.

He Zhang could almost imagine Gu Changji being forced to write here.

There are many hollowed-out partitions on the bookcase against the wall, inside which are some small gadgets and ornaments, or a small stove for burning incense.

Looking out of the window, it is a small garden under the patio, a small gravel road is paved, and it is broken under the steps of the corridor.

This place is a good place to calm one's mind. It's hard to believe that Gu Changji, who is as unscrupulous as he is, can stay here.

Gu Changji came over at some point, yawned, moved the chair away, and sat down lazily: "What are you looking at?"

"Can I read these books?" He Zhang stood in front of the bookcase, touching the back of a book with his fingers.

It was Zhu Xiang's "Send Ni Jun Overseas". I don't know what year it was printed. The cover of the book was old and faded, and it felt like a frosted touch.

Gu Changji responded: "Yes."

But then he remembered something, got up suddenly, and snatched the book from He Zhang.
