There was a little sweat in the palms, the air conditioner was not turned on in the room, and the two hands became very hot after pressing together. Xu Nian pressed his thin lips tightly, struggling for a long time, but he didn't move his hands, and he just kept pressing .

Gu Rong wasn't used to it, so he glanced at it, his eyes changed, but he didn't make any other moves after all.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the water vapor dissipated quickly. When the sun gradually slanted in front of the two of them, Xu Nian straightened up and moved his hands away as if nothing had happened. Due to holding back for too long, her arms were a little stiff and sore. She secretly I moved a little bit a little bit, and then pretended to drink water.

The sun was a bit dazzling, she closed her eyes, raised her hands to cover them, and asked, "Do you want to take a bath now?"

After exercising, I was sweating all over my body, so I had to take a shower and change clothes.

"You wash first, and I'll rest for a while." Gu Rong said.

Xu Nian hummed, but didn't get up immediately, but sat with her for more than ten minutes, returned to the room and stayed for a long time before getting a change of clothes and going to the bathroom.

Gu Rong was still resting on the yoga mat. She turned her head to look at the bathroom, and only heard the sound of the shower. The sun rose quickly in the morning. In less than half an hour, the sunlight that fell in front of her earlier Having moved slowly to the window, she stood up holding the water glass, put the yoga mat back in place, packed up the hall, and went downstairs.

The weather forecast showed that today’s temperature could reach as high as 38°C. After taking a shower, it cooled off for a while, and then it gradually became hot and dry. Xu Nian opened the windows upstairs to ventilate, and suddenly found four more swallows in the nest. The little guy, with pitifully short hair, is ugly and cute, with his head raised and chirping, adding a lot of life to the silent yard.

Xu Nian told Gu Rong about this, and was a little surprised: "I don't know when the eggs were laid, they should have hatched today, and there was no movement yesterday."

She was very happy. After all, it is rare to see swallows building nests and hatching eggs nowadays. She found it very novel and a little excited.Gu Rong smiled and said: "I have seen Yanzidan before, and it has been more than ten days."

"I read in the book that swallows are hatched by male and female birds, and the young birds hatch in about half a month."

Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she would know this. This person seems to like that nest of chicks very much. Maybe it's because adults are born with pity and love for cubs. Thinking of her attitude, he pretended to ask casually: "Do you like children?"

This time it was Xu Nian's turn to be dazed, he didn't turn the corner for a while, struggled for a while, touched his lips, and said hesitantly: "I like...girls..."

The implication is that there will be no children in the future.

Gu Rong paused for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and said solemnly: "Now that technology is so advanced, you can give birth to yourself, or else you can adopt. I have friends who are adopted children. As long as the conditions of the husband and wife are sufficient, it is actually not difficult to adopt. .”

That's true, nowadays same-sex marriages are allowed, and the society is vigorously advocating that if same-sex couples want children, they can adopt the method of adoption as much as possible.

Xu Nian thought for a while, and replied, "I haven't thought about this, and I haven't prepared for it."

After finishing speaking, he said seriously: "Raising children is a kind of responsibility. I don't have the ability to take responsibility yet."

Her expression is dignified, and every word and every word is the most sincere thought, which may be related to her own experience. In terms of family and future, she is very cautious. This surprised Gu Rong slightly, and at the same time, there was a feeling A different feeling.

The longer we get along, the more we can discover the shining points of each other. At the same age of 20, Xu Nian has more responsibility than many of his peers.

Responsible people are always reassuring.

Gu Rong looked at her without saying a word, with complicated thoughts.

On the contrary, Xu Nian was thinking too much, his heart tightened, and he turned his eyes away to cover up.

After a few days of high temperature, it finally rained on Children's Day on June 6. Although the rain was not too heavy, the cool breeze was blowing and it was comfortable.This day, the male students in the class specially prepared extra small gifts for the two female students - everyone has snacks to eat, Xu Nian and Shen Wan want an extra can of fruit candy, the ratio of male to female in the machine is really exaggerated, the girls are all precious.

The two of them bought some snacks to give back to the boys in the class, and a group of adults spent Children's Day happier than the elementary school students.Xu Nian returned home with the candy jar in his arms, but Gu Rong was not there. When he came back at night, he saw a large glass jar filled with candy on the table, so he asked, "Did you buy it?"

Xu Nian said truthfully: "Today is Children's Day, I bought it in class."

Gu Rong was dumbfounded.

Xu Nian grabbed the candy and handed it over: "Candy?"

Gu Rong refused: "Don't eat."

Xu Nian didn't care how she answered, and just stuffed the candy into the man's hand.Probably because she had grasped Gu Rong's temper, she became a little presumptuous, and dared to do things that she didn't dare to do before.

Gu Rong accepted the candy, she really didn't want to eat it, and finally put it in the drawer of the bedside table.

It was cloudy and rainy at night, and it was still raining the next day. Gu Rong went back home in the morning. Xu Nian had classes and experiments today, and she didn't get home until after nine o'clock in the evening. She was a little hungry, so she opened the refrigerator to get something to eat. There are two cheesecakes on the top shelf of the freezer.There was no cake in the refrigerator yesterday, Gu Rong must have bought it today, the name of the cake shop is printed on the box of the cake, it is located in the West District, there is no branch, the only one in the city, Xu Nian often sees this shop when he goes to tutor, but there is no Went in to buy something.

She was startled, and took out the little cake, and that was the end of the dinner.

At about ten o'clock, Gu Rong called to inform her that she would not come back tonight. The Gu family had something to do. She didn't mention the cake in the refrigerator, as if she was sure that Xu Nian would find out. The phone call didn't take more than 2 minutes. Someone was calling over there, and she Hang up the phone hastily.

For Xu Nian, a birthday is a sumptuous meal, but for Gu Rong, it is not. Catching relatives and friends is secondary. Even if she doesn't like to engage in socializing from the beginning, Mr. Gu insists.

On the 6rd and 5th, Gu Rong only came back one night. Xu Nian knew she was busy, so he didn't bother her. In the blink of an eye, it was June [-]th. The day was cloudy and breezy, and the phone showed that there was a thunderstorm at night.

The day was gloomy and scary, fearing that it would rain suddenly, Xu Nian specially brought an umbrella before going out to tutor.

The tutoring ends at [-] o'clock, the weather is as usual, and it looks like heavy rain will come at any time, Xu Nian walks out of the community, considering whether to take a taxi or take the bus, the taxi costs more than ten yuan, and the bus takes more than half an hour, there is still time, after thinking about it, he decides take a taxi.

The next moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and Gu Rong called.She was puzzled, and when she connected, the other party spoke first: "Where is it?"

She got stuck in her head for a moment and let out an ah.

Gu Rong said, "I'll pick you up."

Xu Nian immediately reported the address, and wanted to say something more, but the other party had already hung up the phone. Two or three minutes later, a white Mercedes-Benz appeared. She had told Gu Rong that she was tutoring on this street, and the other party should remember, but he didn't know the details. the address of.

After getting into the car, she felt a little embarrassed, and hummed, "I know the way, so I can go there by myself."

Gu Rong started the car, held the steering wheel and said, "Come back and get something, just in time for this."

Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, but said nothing.

There was a section of road from the west district to the new district that was particularly congested, and it took more than 20 minutes to pass through. During this period, Gu Rong's mobile phone kept ringing. She only picked it up to check it, and then cut it off. When it rang for the second time, she turned it on directly. silent mode.

Seeing it, Xu Nian could roughly guess the identity of the caller. It was nothing more than Gu Rong's brothers and sisters. After hesitating for a moment, he considered, "Is it busy today?"

While turning the steering wheel, Gu Rong said calmly, "Fortunately, these are all irrelevant things, and it's not my turn to do them."

Xu Nian wasn't sure if the words were true or not, and felt that it was better not to continue talking about them, so he diverted the conversation away.After passing the traffic jam, the rest went very smoothly. After a while, she arrived at the door of Gu's house. Before getting out of the car, she asked again: "Are you going back at night?"

Asked this a few days ago.

Gu Rong nodded: "I'll call you before I leave."

Xu Nian subconsciously touched the pocket of his shorts, struggled for a while, and finally resisted the urge to give the gift out now.

When they got out of the car, Gu Rong's sister, Shen Wan's mother, Gu Qiu, came over. She first greeted Xu Nian politely, then called Shen Wan, and took Gu Rong away, berating her in a low voice: "Dad looked for you everywhere, and left without saying a word. If the elder brother didn't stop him, he would definitely make trouble again."

Gu Rong was taciturn, walking in a calm manner, and seemed not to want to participate in the social banquet of the Gu family.

Xu Nian couldn't help but stare at them until Shen Wan came over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Just now I was talking about you to Aunt Ning and the others, thinking that you should be taught at home, and I wanted to pick you up, but my aunt said that she had left something behind and wanted to pick it up, so I asked her to pick you up along the way."

Xu Nian hummed, and the two walked inside.

The big living room of the Gu family was full of guests, and there were many people in the back garden. Everyone was dressed more formally. Even Ning Zhouyi and the others wore skirts and high heels. Xu Nian suddenly felt cramped and a bit out of place. Fortunately, Shen Wan also wore them. Casual, barely that awkward.

Ning Zhouyi took the initiative to call her, Ji Yawan and the others greeted her one after another, everyone took good care of Xu Nian, and brought the two little girls with them in everything they did.

Xu Nian followed Shen Wan from the beginning to the end, besides eating, she listened to everyone chatting, and she would walk away when others were talking about business.

Later, she met Gu's mother.

Gu's mother is not the kind of harsh and straight-faced person, on the contrary, she speaks kindly, handles things generously and decently, and even asks a few questions when she sees Xu Nian.

Xu Nian felt that she was like a noble wife in a Hong Kong drama, she was well-mannered and knew how to deal with others.

Shen Wan put her arms around Gu's mother's arm and acted like a baby, shouting sweetly and intimately to her grandma, coaxing Gu's mother to smile and be very happy. In the end, she took the two of them to meet her old sisters.

Gu's mother is quite old-fashioned in thinking and doesn't study much. In her view, college students are intellectuals, and intellectuals are good. They are worthy of pride and respect, so she specially introduced Xu Nian to her old sisters cheerfully: " My Wanwan friend, Xu Nian, is a student of G University, this kid is very good at reading."

Because of this, Xu Nian spent the whole night thinking about the matter between Gu's mother and Gu Rong, and why the relationship between the mother and daughter became so rigid.

Gu Rong drank a lot of alcohol and couldn't drive. Around midnight, she called Xu Nian and told her to wait at the door of Gu's house.

Mr. Gu's secretary sent the two of them back to Kuanbei Lane.

As soon as I entered the house, it began to rain lightly and rustled.
