very fond of you gl
Chapter 66
I have never smoked before, but now I just feel a little uncomfortable. The misty white smoke did not enter her mouth, but lingered and dissipated around her lips. The taste became weaker and weaker. Maybe it was a psychological effect. Xu Nian smelled it more. The familiar scent of perfume on Gu Rong's body.
Gu Rong was very close to her, staying within a short distance, and could touch each other with a slight movement. The breath was warm, hot, and captivating. The soft breath brushed against the lips, warm and crisp. Itchy.
Blown by the wind, the smoke burned quickly, and the sparks were particularly bright in the dark night. Gu Rong took Xu Nian's hand, pulled him into his arms, bowed his head, and let the other party taste it clearly.
The taste of the smoke is not pleasant, but it is warm and sweet inside.
Xu Nian was stunned, letting the other party move, only knowing to accept.Not long after, Gu Rong let her go, took half a step back, took two more puffs of cigarettes, finally extinguished the cigarette and threw it away, exhaled the smoke, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't touch cigarettes in the future, it's not good for your health."
Her movements are very skillful, crisp and neat. At first glance, she used to be a smoker. Xu Nian had seen this person smoking many times, but at that time he was not familiar with him, and he didn't know much about him. He didn't know when this person stopped smoking. Yes, I have personally seen and experienced it once, and I am inexplicably uncomfortable.
Smoking is not a good habit, once you become addicted to it, it is very difficult to quit, after this experience, Xu Nian is no longer curious about this thing, Gu Rongrang will definitely not touch it if he does not touch it, and she has no intention of touching it.
"I know," she nodded and said softly, and walked over to Gu Rong, "I won't."
There is no moon in the sky and there are many stars, and the thin snow reflects the light. Looking around, you can vaguely see the vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, but after all, the night is more intense, and you can't see the situation that is too far away.Xu Nian tightened his collar, suddenly thought of something, and was about to say something, but was wrapped around his waist. Before he could react, the figure next to him approached, and there was a warm touch on his lips.
This w was first tasted lightly, and then gradually deepened, lingering, lingering, Xu Nian's mouth was stained with the smell of smoke, and he couldn't tell what it felt like, a bit astringent, not very pleasant smell, but very comfortable.
Gu Rong is really possessive in some aspects, such as now, it is not possible for her to shrink back.
The two stayed on the balcony for a long time. When they re-entered the room, Xu Nian was cold. Gu Rong turned on the air conditioner. They could leave at eight o'clock, but they stayed here for another half an hour. During the hours, Gu Rong held her close to her several times and was almost bumped into by an employee who came to hand in the documents once.
The two of them left only a few minutes earlier than the security guards. Due to the snow on the road, Gu Rong drove very slowly. During Chinese New Year, the houses along the way were all lit up.
Spending at home tonight, tomorrow New Year's Eve, I will stay at Gu's house for more than a week, and I can only return to Kuanbei Lane after the seventh day of the lunar new year. This is what Shen's mother requested, so that Gu Rongduo can stay at home with the two old people.Gu Rong didn't refuse. On the one hand, he followed her sister's wishes, and on the other hand, she wanted Xu Nian to get along with those people in the family. After all, after the new year, the relationship between the two of them will be announced to everyone. Let's get along first. Adapt to adapt.
Xu Nian was still a little nervous about going to Gu's house for the New Year, and had already prepared a lot of things.
She was supposed to sleep at night after sex, but she couldn't sleep no matter what, she leaned against Gu Rong's ear and whispered: "I'm a little worried..."
At that time, Gu Rong was still asleep, so he hugged the man comfortingly, turned his body sideways, half-closed his eyes and asked lazily: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried about what my uncles and aunts will think and what to say when the time comes," Xu Nian muffled, "If they don't agree..."
She stopped and didn't go any further.
These worries are not overthinking. Based on reality, they are all problems that may be encountered. Although neither of them cares much, it does not mean that they will not encounter them. Mother Gu's attitude is still the same as before, let alone Stubborn Mr. Gu, the bigger the family, the more important they are to these things. A good match has been the standard for testing whether two people are compatible since ancient times.
Gu Rong closed his eyes, suppressed the foolish thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about these things, go to bed early, and wake up at six or seven tomorrow."
Xu Nian hummed, her mind was in a mess, she took a light breath, it seemed that she still couldn't do anything about it.Gu Rong stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said, "Not sleepy?"
"I can't sleep." Xu Nian said truthfully.
After she finished speaking, she heard the other party chuckle, and before she could figure out what she was laughing at, she felt a lightness on her body, and the quilt bucked up.
……
This is the third New Year since grandma left. I was alone before, but this year is completely different. When I woke up early in the morning, there was a joyful and lively atmosphere everywhere. Xu Nian pulled Gu Ronglai to the bed, Wen. Minutes, until Comrade Ba Jin from the next room came to knock the door. When I got up, it was still dark, and every house in Kuanbei Lane was lit. Compared with the usual desertedness, today is different.
Shouts from other houses could be heard from far away.
Xu Nian put on bright red custom-made clothes for Ba Jin, washed up, took his things into the car, and the two of them drove towards the new district together.
Not only Kuanbei Lane is full of New Year flavor, but the whole G City is still in the midst of festivities. The trees on both sides of the road are hung with red lanterns, and the fronts of various shops are also brightly red, everywhere is red.
Red is booming, this is people's greatest and most sincere expectation for the new year. Red represents prosperity, success and auspiciousness. This has nothing to do with superstition, but a kind of cultural accumulation.
The new area was also full of joy, and the lights here were even brighter, as bright as day. At this time, the sky was still dark, and when they drove slowly to Gu's house, the sky finally became bright.
The humidity was heavy, and I felt the biting wind as soon as I got out of the car. Bajin was excited when he saw the snow, and he just rolled on the spot. The silly dog's fur is so thick, it seems that he can't feel the cold.Xu Nian was funny and annoyed, his clean clothes became dirty after not wearing them for a long time, and he whispered, "Get up, don't mess around, it's time to go in."
Bajin only understood the word "get up", stood still immediately, raised his head and wagged his tail, without the slightest consciousness of making a mistake, and barked twice.Xu Nian tightened the rope and patted its stupid dog's head. The stupid dog grinned happily, thinking it was a compliment.
Gu Rong watched from the side, hooked her lips involuntarily, went to help Xu Nian smooth his collar, and before the Gu family came out, she tilted her head and touched this person's lips.
Xu Nian's face suddenly became hot.
Now it's at the gate of the Gu family...
They came earlier than the three members of the Shen family, and Shen Wan and the others arrived almost 10 minutes later. The whole family were all dressed in red and red. In contrast, the two of them looked very simple and elegant, and they didn't have a single red thing on their bodies.
Xu Nian first went upstairs with Gu Rong to put things away, and she was placed in the room to the left of Gu Rong, which contained everything, such as toothpaste and toothbrush. The aunt at home said to her: "Miss Xu still has Just tell us what you need, don't be restrained."
Aunt knows her.
Xu Nian hurriedly responded, a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, "Happy New Year, Auntie."
Auntie smiled immediately and was in a good mood.
After putting away the things, all the old and young members of the Gu family gathered, and everyone ate glutinous rice balls together.
During the period, someone who was not very familiar with Xu Nian asked her euphemistically. Before Xu Nian opened his mouth, Gu's mother who was sitting in the seat replied, "Your little aunt's friend."
The two people involved were startled.
The one who asked was the son of the eldest brother of the Gu family, who had stayed in the United States for a long time, so he was not impressed with Xu Nian. big brother.
The arrival of Xu Nian did not bring much influence and change to the Gu family. After asking a few questions, everyone paid less attention to it. On the contrary, Gu Rong received more attention. Retirement is a big event, and everyone else is very concerned about her future. Trends, such as Mr. Gu.
After the meal, Mr. Gu chatted with Gu Rong for a long time, but this time there was no quarrel, and both sides were amicable.
Xu Nian was bored, when they came out of the study when they went upstairs, Mr. Gu asked casually: "I remember that Miss Xu seems to be in the same school as that girl Wanwan, in the same class?"
"Yes," Xu Nian nodded, "One of the class."
Mr. Gu probably doesn't know about the two of them yet, so he stopped asking more questions and said a few polite words. His body is not as strong as before, and he is already on crutches. Gu Rong helped him go downstairs and walk Going, Xu Nian followed, Mr. Gu was happy, his usually cold face had a smile on his face, and even his tone became gentler.
It is still the same sentence, when people get old, the principles will change. We only want to live in harmony at home so that we can enjoy family happiness.
The theme of New Year's Eve for rich and poor families is similar, family reunion.
In the afternoon, Mother Gu and the others went out shopping, Xu Nian and Shen Wan took Bajin out for a walk, and later on they played cards together, after Gu Rong played two or three rounds, she asked Xu Nian to watch the cards for herself on the pretext of something.
On the mahjong table, there are Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, and the eldest brother of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu's luck is not very good, and she loses one after another.After playing two rounds, Xu Nian played a card: "Yaoji—"
Mother Gu smiled on her usual cold face, pushed down the card, pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense."
So far, Mother Gu's fortunes have turned around, and she has won several times. As for Xu Nian, she has lost and won again and again. The elder brother of the Gu family has lost quite badly, and has never won again.
When Gu's mother looked at Xu Nian again, she became more and more pleasing to her eyes.
Gu Rong watched from a distance, and after a while, he formed a table with Shen's mother and the others to play cards. Bajin followed her obediently, got under the table, and lay lazily on the ground.
After the game was over, the family sat around and chatted after eating, and they didn't go upstairs to rest until midnight.
After Xu Nian settled down, he pretended to go back to his room and lay down for half an hour. When there was no movement outside, he secretly went to the next room. The lights were not turned off on New Year's Eve, and the room was brightly lit. Hair, while saying: "Win or lose this afternoon?"
"I won a little bit," Xu Nian said, and went to help her, "What about you?"
Gu Rong whispered: "I also won."
Both of them are good at poker, Xu Nian deliberately gave way to Gu's mother, otherwise she would definitely win more, she hugged Gu Rong from behind, put her chin on the other's shoulder, behaved obediently and intimately.
Gu Rong was a little helpless, but let her hold her.
This room is larger than the two rooms in the red brick house. The floor-to-ceiling windows are on the right side. The curtains are not drawn. You can vaguely see the lights in the distance. The room is very bright. The soft white light hits the body, quiet and warm , Xu Nian's heart moved, and he leaned over, Gu Rong turned around slowly, and the two hugged each other.
When lying on the bed, the dazzling headlight was replaced by a small bedside lamp, and the light changed from soft white to dim yellow.
The two of them stuck together chatting with each other, talking a lot about what to do next year, some plans for the future, and what they should do tomorrow. Both of their voices were very low, and the sound insulation effect of the house was particularly good. Well, occasionally people pass by outside, but no one will notice.
The winter night is cold, but the room is warm, and the quilt is even warmer, the bed is very wide, Xu Nian has to squeeze into Gu Rong's place, hugging him and refuse to let it go, he definitely can't mess around at a time like this, the two of them don't have that plan , Gu Rong was a little helpless by the fuss of these two fools, and finally stretched out his hand to wrap her waist, and hugged her in his arms.
Xu Nian raised the corners of his mouth secretly, calm down.
As the night deepened little by little, time gradually passed, and when Misty was about to fall asleep, Xu Nian called out in a low voice: "Auntie..."
After a while, he hummed.
"Happy New Year," she said.
Gu Rong suddenly reached her neck and held it for a long time before softly replying: "Happy New Year——"
Suitable for two people to sleep in winter, warm.
Rested well and woke up early, Xu Nian hugged Gu Rong for 2 minutes after waking up, and then quietly went back to sleep in his room, the first day of the Lunar New Year continued to light snow, the world was white, at 07:30, everyone woke up spontaneously without calling Wash up and go downstairs to have breakfast together.
Afterwards, they wished each other blessings and New Year greetings, and finally received red envelopes.
The elders of the Gu family regarded Xu Nian and Shen Wan as peers, and they all prepared red envelopes for her. The Gu family didn't give much in this regard, as long as they meant it, Xu Nian felt at ease receiving it, and it was a drop in the bucket for the elders. , but enough for her tuition and fees for one year.
The Yueyuehong that Gu Rong gave to the juniors was rounded off and there was no money, so she also gave one to Xu Nian.
After rounding up, Xu Nian still felt at ease.
The custom in G city is not to cook on the first day of the new year, and you have to eat for [-] days, which means that there is more than enough every year. In previous years, I went back to my hometown, but this year is an exception. The whole family is here, and there is no need to go to the grave. Chatting after breakfast, and after lunch Continue to play mahjong, and still play mahjong at night.
Xu Nian still takes good care of Mother Gu.
Mother Gu didn't say anything, she was obviously happy in her heart, who doesn't like to win at the poker table.
As for Ba Jin, it was still the same as yesterday, curled up at Gu Rong's feet and dozing off.
This mahjong was played until the seventh day of the lunar new year. During this time, relatives from the Gu family's hometown came to visit, and guests came and went.
In the beginning of spring on the seventh day of the lunar new year, the snow had stopped early and the snow had melted. In the afternoon, the two of them returned to Kuanbei Lane with a dog.
At the beginning of the new year, there is a new atmosphere everywhere. As soon as the food street opened, the originally quiet old town became noisy and noisy. When the money came, troubles followed. On the eighth day of the eighth day, there were two incidents between merchants and residents Gu Rong was busy with work in the studio, Xu Nian stayed at home to study, and took care of Ba Jin by the way.
She is not affected by the external environment, and her mind is only on books. When the dazzling golden sunset appeared in the sky, she went out to walk the dog to buy groceries. When she walked to the north alley, she found that the alley was being renovated, and a no-passing sign was erected. So I had to go back home.
Gu Rong arrived before her, probably tired all day, and was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, when he heard a noise from outside, he took off the blanket and got up, and said: "I just wanted to call you, today the studio is busy. Busy, come back late."
Xu Nian put the things first, and untied the rope for Bajin: "I went out to buy vegetables, and the North Alley is under renovation."
Ba Jin ran towards Gu Rong with his tongue out, put his head on the sofa, wagged his tail and twisted his body coquettishly, it has now fully adapted to the environment at home, and is no longer as cautious as when it first arrived, Gu Rong stroked its head , sat for two or three minutes, and went into the kitchen to help.
"Report on the 12th?" She rolled up her sleeves, picked and washed vegetables, the water was rushing, and the water just released was warm, not particularly cold.
"Well, you can spend the Lantern Festival at home." Xu Nian replied.
The 11th is the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. The school is thoughtful, so that everyone can study at home after the festival.
Gu Rong had other plans for this day. After washing the dishes, she said, "I told my sister about the Lantern Festival, and we will spend it at her place."
Xu Nian didn't realize it for a while, and stayed there for a long time before the other party continued: "You go too, let's go together."
It was definitely this time to meet the parents after the year before, and we couldn't delay it any longer, and school would start after any delay.
When Xu Nian heard that she was going to have a formal showdown with Shen's mother, Xu Nian was stunned for a moment. Even though she was prepared in her heart, she would inevitably feel nervous when she really had to face her. She curled her ears and nodded solemnly.
See you sooner or later.
From the eighth day to the fourteenth day of the lunar new year, it was nothing unusual. If I had to point out some differences, it would be that the North Alley had been refurbished, and guiding steles had been erected at both the North and South Alleys.
As soon as the stele was erected, Kuanbei Lane seemed to have an old but full of historical and cultural charm. More and more pedestrians passing by the alley to the food street every day began to notice the red brick houses and began to look towards the alley. Walk in and pay attention to this dilapidated place that can bear the imprint of human affection and time, with bricks and tiles, plants and flowers.
The green leaves of bougainvillea on the courtyard wall are stretched out, full of vitality, and after a while, the flowers will be in full bloom again.
Fifteen, the weather is fine, the sun is warm and the spring breeze is blowing.
Last night, Xu's mother called and said she wanted to come and have a look, but Xu Nian refused. At the end of the call, Xu's mother was asked to live her own life.Just woke up early in the morning, grandma and aunt Xu sent a video, Xu Nian chatted with everyone for a while, and then grandma Xu said she wanted to see Gu Rong.
Everything is fine and moving in a smooth direction.
After nine o'clock, Gu Rong drove her and Bajin to Shen's house, and Mother Shen prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
Mother Gu and the others are traveling abroad, so I won't look back at home today.
Shen Wan seemed to know why the two of them came here, so she took Bajin out for a walk after dinner, Bajin was very obedient, and followed along without making a fuss.
Shen's mother took them to go shopping. It was a festival, and the streets were full of joy and excitement.Shen's mother likes shopping, so she scanned three big-name stores in a row, and the two of them followed behind to carry things. When they were tired from walking, they went to a coffee shop to rest.
Gu Rong chatted with her, and slowly brought the topic to a more serious matter. Seeing that the timing was right, he paused and said calmly, "Sister, let me introduce someone to you."
Shen's mother was stunned for a while, confused, and asked, "What?"
"My girlfriend," Gu Rong said, completely unhurried, "A Nian."
Xu Nian suddenly clenched his hands tightly, his palms dripping with sweat, watching every move of the opposite party.
Unexpectedly, Shen's mother was not surprised at all, she took a sip of coffee, "I know."
Xu Nian was surprised, but didn't speak.
Shen's mother smiled, and said: "I saw it early in the morning. During the Chinese New Year, the family was talking about it, but you two didn't hear it. Dad and elder brother both knew it. They kept it hidden from the beginning of the night. Two days ago your brother-in-law asked her, but she refused to say anything, obviously something happened."
During the few days of the Chinese New Year, anyone with a discerning eye could see the undercurrent between the two, but everyone saw through it and left space for the two of them.
Mr. Gu didn't say anything against it, let alone others. As for the attitude of Mr. Gu, everyone didn't know.
Shen's mother is very good at handling things. After finishing speaking, she easily changed the topic and talked about other things.
Xu Nian was so nervous that seeing the parents just passed by, it was not easy at all.Of course, Xu Nian was still a little confused. After shopping and returning to Shen's house for dinner, when she was alone with Shen's mother, she asked the reason euphemistically. Shen's mother smiled, and then said with some emotion: "I don't like Wanwan You will ask too much, and it’s the same for Ah Jiu, you have choices, you can do what you like, love the people you like, and you don’t have to live by the rules.”
These words contained too much meaning, Xu Nian paused immediately.
Shen's mother said again: "When I was your age, there were so many things I wanted to do, but unfortunately most of them didn't get done. Now it's too late to think about it."
Born in Gu's family, although the starting point is high, she cannot be absolutely free. She lived half her life according to the expectation of taking care of the old man and Gu's mother. Rong, like himself, goes well, but rarely has the opportunity to do what he really wants to do.
It was her expectation to be unrestrained.
Xu Nian muttered for a long time, and said, "Thank you...sister..."
Mother Shen smiled knowingly.
After ten o'clock, the two returned to Kuanbei Lane with eight catties.
The weather after the Lantern Festival lasted for many days, and the study tasks in the second semester of the junior year were very intense. This is a particularly important half-term. It is also the time when undergraduates are most likely to win various valuable awards. The school’s training focus has always been on juniors. Tang Minzhi will come to mobilize almost every month, calling on everyone to study hard and participate in competitions. She is a responsible good teacher.
The relationship between Tang Minzhi and Sister Wan ended without a problem. They each went through a difficult period, and then they broke up peacefully. The wedding was held as scheduled, and Sister Wan went to attend.
Xu Nian can't quite understand the direction of this kind of relationship. If she and Gu Rong have conflicts, she will definitely not let it develop. Love is no match for choice. To put it bluntly, the relationship is not deep enough. Although she only has one or two points of ability now, but Will use eight or nine points to love people.
If it is full, it will overflow, so it cannot be ten.
After getting the scholarship, she spent the money on her girlfriend and dog, and gave gifts in a mysterious way. At that time, Gu Rong was watching TV. She hugged the other party's neck from behind and leaned on Gu Rong. On the neck, the hair is frizzy, a little dishonest.
Gu Rong thought this was what he was going to do, so he didn't move, but the person behind him was too presumptuous, raised his slender neck, and grabbed this artificial person, but he was caught instead, and between his fingers, he touched A cool thing.
Gu Rong was very close to her, staying within a short distance, and could touch each other with a slight movement. The breath was warm, hot, and captivating. The soft breath brushed against the lips, warm and crisp. Itchy.
Blown by the wind, the smoke burned quickly, and the sparks were particularly bright in the dark night. Gu Rong took Xu Nian's hand, pulled him into his arms, bowed his head, and let the other party taste it clearly.
The taste of the smoke is not pleasant, but it is warm and sweet inside.
Xu Nian was stunned, letting the other party move, only knowing to accept.Not long after, Gu Rong let her go, took half a step back, took two more puffs of cigarettes, finally extinguished the cigarette and threw it away, exhaled the smoke, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't touch cigarettes in the future, it's not good for your health."
Her movements are very skillful, crisp and neat. At first glance, she used to be a smoker. Xu Nian had seen this person smoking many times, but at that time he was not familiar with him, and he didn't know much about him. He didn't know when this person stopped smoking. Yes, I have personally seen and experienced it once, and I am inexplicably uncomfortable.
Smoking is not a good habit, once you become addicted to it, it is very difficult to quit, after this experience, Xu Nian is no longer curious about this thing, Gu Rongrang will definitely not touch it if he does not touch it, and she has no intention of touching it.
"I know," she nodded and said softly, and walked over to Gu Rong, "I won't."
There is no moon in the sky and there are many stars, and the thin snow reflects the light. Looking around, you can vaguely see the vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, but after all, the night is more intense, and you can't see the situation that is too far away.Xu Nian tightened his collar, suddenly thought of something, and was about to say something, but was wrapped around his waist. Before he could react, the figure next to him approached, and there was a warm touch on his lips.
This w was first tasted lightly, and then gradually deepened, lingering, lingering, Xu Nian's mouth was stained with the smell of smoke, and he couldn't tell what it felt like, a bit astringent, not very pleasant smell, but very comfortable.
Gu Rong is really possessive in some aspects, such as now, it is not possible for her to shrink back.

They could leave at eight o'clock, but they stayed here for another half an hour.

The two of them left only a few minutes earlier than the security guards. Due to the snow on the road, Gu Rong drove very slowly. During Chinese New Year, the houses along the way were all lit up.
Spending at home tonight, tomorrow New Year's Eve, I will stay at Gu's house for more than a week, and I can only return to Kuanbei Lane after the seventh day of the lunar new year. This is what Shen's mother requested, so that Gu Rongduo can stay at home with the two old people.Gu Rong didn't refuse. On the one hand, he followed her sister's wishes, and on the other hand, she wanted Xu Nian to get along with those people in the family. After all, after the new year, the relationship between the two of them will be announced to everyone. Let's get along first. Adapt to adapt.
Xu Nian was still a little nervous about going to Gu's house for the New Year, and had already prepared a lot of things.
She was supposed to sleep at night after sex, but she couldn't sleep no matter what, she leaned against Gu Rong's ear and whispered: "I'm a little worried..."
At that time, Gu Rong was still asleep, so he hugged the man comfortingly, turned his body sideways, half-closed his eyes and asked lazily: "What are you worried about?"

Gu Rong closed his eyes, suppressed the foolish thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about these things, go to bed early, and wake up at six or seven tomorrow."
Xu Nian hummed, her mind was in a mess, she took a light breath, it seemed that she still couldn't do anything about it.Gu Rong stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said, "Not sleepy?"
"I can't sleep." Xu Nian said truthfully.
After she finished speaking, she heard the other party chuckle, and before she could figure out what she was laughing at, she felt a lightness on her body, and the quilt bucked up.
……
This is the third New Year since grandma left. I was alone before, but this year is completely different. When I woke up early in the morning, there was a joyful and lively atmosphere everywhere. Xu Nian pulled Gu Ronglai to the bed, Wen. Minutes, until Comrade Ba Jin from the next room came to knock the door. When I got up, it was still dark, and every house in Kuanbei Lane was lit.

The silly dog's fur is so thick, it seems that he can't feel the cold.Xu Nian was funny and annoyed, his clean clothes became dirty after not wearing them for a long time, and he whispered, "Get up, don't mess around, it's time to go in."
Bajin only understood the word "get up", stood still immediately, raised his head and wagged his tail, without the slightest consciousness of making a mistake, and barked twice.Xu Nian tightened the rope and patted its stupid dog's head. The stupid dog grinned happily, thinking it was a compliment.
Gu Rong watched from the side, hooked her lips involuntarily, went to help Xu Nian smooth his collar, and before the Gu family came out, she tilted her head and touched this person's lips.

Xu Nian was bored, when they came out of the study when they went upstairs, Mr. Gu asked casually: "I remember that Miss Xu seems to be in the same school as that girl Wanwan, in the same class?"
"Yes," Xu Nian nodded, "One of the class."
Mr. Gu probably doesn't know about the two of them yet, so he stopped asking more questions and said a few polite words. His body is not as strong as before, and he is already on crutches. Gu Rong helped him go downstairs and walk Going, Xu Nian followed, Mr. Gu was happy, his usually cold face had a smile on his face, and even his tone became gentler.
It is still the same sentence, when people get old, the principles will change. We only want to live in harmony at home so that we can enjoy family happiness.
The theme of New Year's Eve for rich and poor families is similar, family reunion.
In the afternoon, Mother Gu and the others went out shopping, Xu Nian and Shen Wan took Bajin out for a walk, and later on they played cards together, after Gu Rong played two or three rounds, she asked Xu Nian to watch the cards for herself on the pretext of something.
On the mahjong table, there are Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, and the eldest brother of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu's luck is not very good, and she loses one after another.After playing two rounds, Xu Nian played a card: "Yaoji—"
Mother Gu smiled on her usual cold face, pushed down the card, pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense."
So far, Mother Gu's fortunes have turned around, and she has won several times. As for Xu Nian, she has lost and won again and again. The elder brother of the Gu family has lost quite badly, and has never won again.
When Gu's mother looked at Xu Nian again, she became more and more pleasing to her eyes.
Gu Rong watched from a distance, and after a while, he formed a table with Shen's mother and the others to play cards. Bajin followed her obediently, got under the table, and lay lazily on the ground.
After the game was over, the family sat around and chatted after eating, and they didn't go upstairs to rest until midnight.
After Xu Nian settled down, he pretended to go back to his room and lay down for half an hour. When there was no movement outside, he secretly went to the next room. The lights were not turned off on New Year's Eve, and the room was brightly lit. Hair, while saying: "Win or lose this afternoon?"
"I won a little bit," Xu Nian said, and went to help her, "What about you?"
Gu Rong whispered: "I also won."
Both of them are good at poker, Xu Nian deliberately gave way to Gu's mother, otherwise she would definitely win more, she hugged Gu Rong from behind, put her chin on the other's shoulder, behaved obediently and intimately.
Gu Rong was a little helpless, but let her hold her.
This room is larger than the two rooms in the red brick house. The floor-to-ceiling windows are on the right side. The curtains are not drawn. You can vaguely see the lights in the distance. The room is very bright. The soft white light hits the body, quiet and warm , Xu Nian's heart moved, and he leaned over, Gu Rong turned around slowly, and the two hugged each other.
When lying on the bed, the dazzling headlight was replaced by a small bedside lamp, and the light changed from soft white to dim yellow.
The two of them stuck together chatting with each other, talking a lot about what to do next year, some plans for the future, and what they should do tomorrow. Both of their voices were very low, and the sound insulation effect of the house was particularly good. Well, occasionally people pass by outside, but no one will notice.
The winter night is cold, but the room is warm, and the quilt is even warmer, the bed is very wide, Xu Nian has to squeeze into Gu Rong's place, hugging him and refuse to let it go, he definitely can't mess around at a time like this, the two of them don't have that plan , Gu Rong was a little helpless by the fuss of these two fools, and finally stretched out his hand to wrap her waist, and hugged her in his arms.
Xu Nian raised the corners of his mouth secretly, calm down.
As the night deepened little by little, time gradually passed, and when Misty was about to fall asleep, Xu Nian called out in a low voice: "Auntie..."
After a while, he hummed.
"Happy New Year," she said.
Gu Rong suddenly reached her neck and held it for a long time before softly replying: "Happy New Year——"
Suitable for two people to sleep in winter, warm.
Rested well and woke up early, Xu Nian hugged Gu Rong for 2 minutes after waking up, and then quietly went back to sleep in his room, the first day of the Lunar New Year continued to light snow, the world was white, at 07:30, everyone woke up spontaneously without calling Wash up and go downstairs to have breakfast together.
Afterwards, they wished each other blessings and New Year greetings, and finally received red envelopes.
The elders of the Gu family regarded Xu Nian and Shen Wan as peers, and they all prepared red envelopes for her. The Gu family didn't give much in this regard, as long as they meant it, Xu Nian felt at ease receiving it, and it was a drop in the bucket for the elders. , but enough for her tuition and fees for one year.
The Yueyuehong that Gu Rong gave to the juniors was rounded off and there was no money, so she also gave one to Xu Nian.
After rounding up, Xu Nian still felt at ease.
The custom in G city is not to cook on the first day of the new year, and you have to eat for [-] days, which means that there is more than enough every year. In previous years, I went back to my hometown, but this year is an exception. The whole family is here, and there is no need to go to the grave. Chatting after breakfast, and after lunch Continue to play mahjong, and still play mahjong at night.
Xu Nian still takes good care of Mother Gu.
Mother Gu didn't say anything, she was obviously happy in her heart, who doesn't like to win at the poker table.
As for Ba Jin, it was still the same as yesterday, curled up at Gu Rong's feet and dozing off.
This mahjong was played until the seventh day of the lunar new year. During this time, relatives from the Gu family's hometown came to visit, and guests came and went.
In the beginning of spring on the seventh day of the lunar new year, the snow had stopped early and the snow had melted. In the afternoon, the two of them returned to Kuanbei Lane with a dog.
At the beginning of the new year, there is a new atmosphere everywhere. As soon as the food street opened, the originally quiet old town became noisy and noisy. When the money came, troubles followed. On the eighth day of the eighth day, there were two incidents between merchants and residents Gu Rong was busy with work in the studio, Xu Nian stayed at home to study, and took care of Ba Jin by the way.
She is not affected by the external environment, and her mind is only on books. When the dazzling golden sunset appeared in the sky, she went out to walk the dog to buy groceries. When she walked to the north alley, she found that the alley was being renovated, and a no-passing sign was erected. So I had to go back home.
Gu Rong arrived before her, probably tired all day, and was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, when he heard a noise from outside, he took off the blanket and got up, and said: "I just wanted to call you, today the studio is busy. Busy, come back late."
Xu Nian put the things first, and untied the rope for Bajin: "I went out to buy vegetables, and the North Alley is under renovation."
Ba Jin ran towards Gu Rong with his tongue out, put his head on the sofa, wagged his tail and twisted his body coquettishly, it has now fully adapted to the environment at home, and is no longer as cautious as when it first arrived, Gu Rong stroked its head , sat for two or three minutes, and went into the kitchen to help.
"Report on the 12th?" She rolled up her sleeves, picked and washed vegetables, the water was rushing, and the water just released was warm, not particularly cold.
"Well, you can spend the Lantern Festival at home." Xu Nian replied.
The 11th is the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. The school is thoughtful, so that everyone can study at home after the festival.
Gu Rong had other plans for this day. After washing the dishes, she said, "I told my sister about the Lantern Festival, and we will spend it at her place."
Xu Nian didn't realize it for a while, and stayed there for a long time before the other party continued: "You go too, let's go together."
It was definitely this time to meet the parents after the year before, and we couldn't delay it any longer, and school would start after any delay.
When Xu Nian heard that she was going to have a formal showdown with Shen's mother, Xu Nian was stunned for a moment. Even though she was prepared in her heart, she would inevitably feel nervous when she really had to face her. She curled her ears and nodded solemnly.
See you sooner or later.
From the eighth day to the fourteenth day of the lunar new year, it was nothing unusual. If I had to point out some differences, it would be that the North Alley had been refurbished, and guiding steles had been erected at both the North and South Alleys.
As soon as the stele was erected, Kuanbei Lane seemed to have an old but full of historical and cultural charm. More and more pedestrians passing by the alley to the food street every day began to notice the red brick houses and began to look towards the alley. Walk in and pay attention to this dilapidated place that can bear the imprint of human affection and time, with bricks and tiles, plants and flowers.
The green leaves of bougainvillea on the courtyard wall are stretched out, full of vitality, and after a while, the flowers will be in full bloom again.
Fifteen, the weather is fine, the sun is warm and the spring breeze is blowing.
Last night, Xu's mother called and said she wanted to come and have a look, but Xu Nian refused. At the end of the call, Xu's mother was asked to live her own life.Just woke up early in the morning, grandma and aunt Xu sent a video, Xu Nian chatted with everyone for a while, and then grandma Xu said she wanted to see Gu Rong.
Everything is fine and moving in a smooth direction.
After nine o'clock, Gu Rong drove her and Bajin to Shen's house, and Mother Shen prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
Mother Gu and the others are traveling abroad, so I won't look back at home today.
Shen Wan seemed to know why the two of them came here, so she took Bajin out for a walk after dinner, Bajin was very obedient, and followed along without making a fuss.
Shen's mother took them to go shopping. It was a festival, and the streets were full of joy and excitement.Shen's mother likes shopping, so she scanned three big-name stores in a row, and the two of them followed behind to carry things. When they were tired from walking, they went to a coffee shop to rest.
Gu Rong chatted with her, and slowly brought the topic to a more serious matter. Seeing that the timing was right, he paused and said calmly, "Sister, let me introduce someone to you."
Shen's mother was stunned for a while, confused, and asked, "What?"
"My girlfriend," Gu Rong said, completely unhurried, "A Nian."
Xu Nian suddenly clenched his hands tightly, his palms dripping with sweat, watching every move of the opposite party.
Unexpectedly, Shen's mother was not surprised at all, she took a sip of coffee, "I know."
Xu Nian was surprised, but didn't speak.
Shen's mother smiled, and said: "I saw it early in the morning. During the Chinese New Year, the family was talking about it, but you two didn't hear it. Dad and elder brother both knew it. They kept it hidden from the beginning of the night. Two days ago your brother-in-law asked her, but she refused to say anything, obviously something happened."
During the few days of the Chinese New Year, anyone with a discerning eye could see the undercurrent between the two, but everyone saw through it and left space for the two of them.
Mr. Gu didn't say anything against it, let alone others. As for the attitude of Mr. Gu, everyone didn't know.
Shen's mother is very good at handling things. After finishing speaking, she easily changed the topic and talked about other things.
Xu Nian was so nervous that seeing the parents just passed by, it was not easy at all.Of course, Xu Nian was still a little confused. After shopping and returning to Shen's house for dinner, when she was alone with Shen's mother, she asked the reason euphemistically. Shen's mother smiled, and then said with some emotion: "I don't like Wanwan You will ask too much, and it’s the same for Ah Jiu, you have choices, you can do what you like, love the people you like, and you don’t have to live by the rules.”
These words contained too much meaning, Xu Nian paused immediately.
Shen's mother said again: "When I was your age, there were so many things I wanted to do, but unfortunately most of them didn't get done. Now it's too late to think about it."
Born in Gu's family, although the starting point is high, she cannot be absolutely free. She lived half her life according to the expectation of taking care of the old man and Gu's mother. Rong, like himself, goes well, but rarely has the opportunity to do what he really wants to do.
It was her expectation to be unrestrained.
Xu Nian muttered for a long time, and said, "Thank you...sister..."
Mother Shen smiled knowingly.
After ten o'clock, the two returned to Kuanbei Lane with eight catties.
The weather after the Lantern Festival lasted for many days, and the study tasks in the second semester of the junior year were very intense. This is a particularly important half-term. It is also the time when undergraduates are most likely to win various valuable awards. The school’s training focus has always been on juniors. Tang Minzhi will come to mobilize almost every month, calling on everyone to study hard and participate in competitions. She is a responsible good teacher.
The relationship between Tang Minzhi and Sister Wan ended without a problem. They each went through a difficult period, and then they broke up peacefully. The wedding was held as scheduled, and Sister Wan went to attend.
Xu Nian can't quite understand the direction of this kind of relationship. If she and Gu Rong have conflicts, she will definitely not let it develop. Love is no match for choice. To put it bluntly, the relationship is not deep enough. Although she only has one or two points of ability now, but Will use eight or nine points to love people.
If it is full, it will overflow, so it cannot be ten.
After getting the scholarship, she spent the money on her girlfriend and dog, and gave gifts in a mysterious way. At that time, Gu Rong was watching TV. She hugged the other party's neck from behind and leaned on Gu Rong. On the neck, the hair is frizzy, a little dishonest.
Gu Rong thought this was what he was going to do, so he didn't move, but the person behind him was too presumptuous, raised his slender neck, and grabbed this artificial person, but he was caught instead, and between his fingers, he touched A cool thing.
