Chapter 76 Gu Beibei's Question
Zuo Li returned home in a daze and ran into Gu Yuanzheng, who was holding a cup of warm water.
The water wet the clothes on his chest, which made Zuo Li come to his senses.
"Ah, I'm sorry Yuan Zheng, I didn't see you. I... Happy New Year, Yuan Zheng, why haven't you been sleeping yet? It's already very late now."
Zuo Li was really in a low mood. She should have smiled and said Happy New Year to Gu Yuanzheng, but she was really not interested now.
In Gu Yuanzheng's eyes, Zuo Li was now forcing her to smile.
He and Zuo Li sat on the sofa, and Gu Yuan was signaling her to wipe the water from her body with a towel.
Zuo Li did it silently, but found that Gu Yuan was staring at her. He was wearing a white sweater with a high-neck collar, his hair was a little messy, and he looked like a fake porcelain man. The emotions in those eyes were also hidden, making people unable to see what he meant.
But Zuo Li knew that Gu Yuanzheng meant that he was very curious, but what did Zuo Li say about this?
Not to mention the matter between the couple, it is best not to tell outsiders that this couple's relationship is definitely a disadvantage.
Moreover, Gu Yuanzheng's identity is even more sensitive. There is no need to have a heart-to-heart talk between his stepson and his stepmother.
"Is it related to my dad?"
Zuo Li didn't deny this, but he just said, "It's just that today is the first day of the New Year. Your dad is on a business trip. I always feel that the family always has to stay together this day."
Gu Yuanzheng heard Zuo Li's words and nodded. From his expression, he couldn't tell whether he believed what Zuo Li said.
He said, "My dad used to be busy, but he would try to stay at home during the New Year. He left overnight today and didn't come back to pack his luggage. There should be something urgent. Have you met anyone?"
Zuo Li: "I met a man named Ye Tong."
When Gu Yuanzheng heard the name Ye Tong, he raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Li. This was the first time Zuo Li saw such a rich expression on Gu Yuanzheng's face, as if he was excited, and as if he had other emotions.
"Is it Sister Ye? That should be related to my former comrade-in-arms. Aunt Zuo, I'll go up first."
Gu Yuanzheng said this and went upstairs without waiting for Zuo Li to say anything.
"Sister Ye..." A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed through Zuo Li's heart.
Ye Tong does not look old, probably a few years older than her. But she is considered to be a peer to Gu Feichen and her. The title Gu Yuanzheng said to Ye Tong is really intriguing.
Before Zuo Li could think deeply, Gu Suiyang took a cup downstairs in a sleepwalking manner. Looking at the sleepy look, he knew that the man had already had a sleep.
"Are you thirsty?" Zuo Li asked, but who knew that this sentence made Gu Suiyang tremble all over and scream in a hurry.
When he saw Zuo Li, he rolled his eyes: "Little stepmom, you almost scared me to death. It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Oh, I know, have you and the old man come back only now? Tell me, what did you do tonight?"
Gu Suiyang poured a glass of water and came to Zuo Li's side, looking gossipy.
Zuo Li couldn't help but rude his messy hair: "Don't worry about adults, kids."
Gu Suiyang looked unhappy: "Little stepmom, calculate the time according to our side. I am already sixteen years old. Even if I am Xu Sui, I can say that I am seventeen. This is not a small matter at all."
"Your birthday is more than three months away, and we are not considered a vain year here. Or are you so curious about the date between your dad and me, do you want to fall in love early?"
Gu Suiyang immediately widened his eyes and said, "Little stepmother, is your association really powerful? Is basketball not fun, or is it not troublesome for girls? Why do I want to fall in love?"
Gu Suiyang really looked disgusted, and it was obvious that he had never thought about falling in love.
Zuo Li nodded secretly. It was really not good for this child to have an early love in high school. She didn't want her mentor Hu to deal with such things. It was not good for her stepmother to deal with the early love in stepson.
But Zuo Li remembered that girls will be more precious in the future. High school may be the age when many boys are most likely to be loved by girls.
Thinking of this, Zuo Li couldn't help but look at Gu Suiyang with some sympathy. Now that he doesn't cherish such green years, he can only be a bachelor in the future.
Gu Suiyang's scalp was numb by Zuo Li's gaze, and his body had goose bumps: "Little stepmom, what expression do you have? Why do you think something is wrong with me?"
Zuo Li patted her shoulder and said in a loving tone: "It's okay, I just think you have such a good idea. I just hope you won't regret it in the future."
"Repent? Why do I regret it, little stepmother, what about the old man?"
When Zuo Li heard this question, she felt a headache and thought she shouldn't stay here, but should go back to the room. Otherwise, she was afraid that Gu Jixing and Gu Beibei would appear here, so she asked Gu Feichen where he went.
Although she felt that Gu Jixing and Gu Beibei were unlikely to care about her because of her disgust.
"Your dad has something to go on a business trip. Okay, you can go back to bed first. I'm going back to the room." In order to prevent Gu Suiyang from saying what he shouldn't say, she said again, "I have to go back, otherwise I won't be able to cook for you tomorrow morning."
Gu Suiyang's eyes lit up, and then he made a move to zip his mouth and went upstairs.
"Oh." Zuo Li sighed, then encouraged himself again, "You must be happy in the new year, especially Beibei has arrived, and it will be considered a family reunion in the future."
Thinking of Gu Beibei, Zuo Li couldn't help but sigh again. Well, there will be more challenges in this life in the future.
Zuo Li didn't sleep well all night. It was probably because she hadn't slept so late for a long time. Perhaps it was because she had no one around her who had been asleep.
Because he couldn't sleep well, Zuo Li simply woke up early and prepared to make his first breakfast for the New Year, which was also the first meal for the New Year.
Zuo Li is still wearing red clothes, so she naturally needs to be in a good mood in the New Year.
As for the food, the preparation was naturally more grand than the day of the winter solstice. Steamed crispy pork, scallops and steamed fish were added. Zuo Li also made more so that the servants who were still at home could eat it.
Zuo Li did not forget to prepare New Year's clothes for the children. They were long clothes and trousers like Tang suits. The boy was blue, and the Gu Beibei's was red.
In order to let them all wear them, Zuo Li didn't tell them that he designed it and asked someone to make it for them. If Gu Fei was still alive, he would have a set.
When the children came down to have dinner, Zuo Li saw that each of them was wearing the new clothes.
Gu Yuanzheng's skin is white, and under this Tang suit, he looks more like the banished immortal in the sky. When he looked closer, he had all his facial features and his curly eyelashes made people wonder if they were fake.
Gu Jixing smiled on his face, which made people see it as if they were bathed in spring breeze. When his slender fingers were placed on the buckle on his chest, it was like a contact between jade and sapphire. He felt that he could only see from a distance and not play with it.
Gu Suiyang was not dressed so neatly, with only two of the three buckles on his chest, and the remaining one was simply a breakdown of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. But I have to say that this is Gu Suiyang's style, with a handsome look. Zuo Li thought that boys like this were definitely the favorite among girls when they were students.
As for Gu Beibei's size, Zuo Li asked Gu Feichen. But it was obvious that Gu Beibei's figure was even slimmer, so that this red Tang suit was a little bigger when worn on Gu Beibei. Of course, this did not affect Gu Beibei's beauty. The white appearance on the collar made her look like a fairy child under Guanyin's seat, extremely cute and beautiful.
Although the few people didn't know in advance that the clothes were prepared by Zuo Li, they naturally guessed when they saw everyone's clothes.
Gu Suiyang was the first to come to Zuo Li and pointed at the clothes between the two: "Is this the legendary mother-son outfit?"
Zuo Li was amused by his words and nodded, saying, "I designed it for you specifically, I don't know if you like it."
Gu Suiyang nodded first, "I like it, of course I like it! I'm really handsome in this dress."
Gu Yuanzheng also nodded: "I like it very much, thank you Aunt Zuo."
As for Gu Jixing and Gu Beibei, neither of them spoke, but they did not immediately run back to the room to put down the clothes.
Zuo Li breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately these villains were still giving face to the first day of the New Year.
Zuo Li asked everyone to eat: "These are all made before the Winter Solstice, but they added new dishes. Beibei, do you try Zuo's skills? Do you like it?"
Gu Beibei bit the chopsticks, looked at the table in front of him that was delicious, and swallowed his saliva frantically.
However, Zuo Li noticed that in the end, Gu Beibei only ate a dumpling and a small steamed bun.
Do you don’t like to eat it? But it tastes very good, and she doesn’t look like she doesn’t like to eat it.
I still hate her so much that I don’t even want to eat what she cooks.
Zuo Li didn't ask a question, but Gu Jixing's words caught her attention.
"You're already very thin, so you should eat more food."
Zuo Li didn't hear what Gu Beibei said clearly, but she didn't see her eating more.
After dinner, Zuo Li went to ask Aunt Liu, "Did Beibei be very fat before?"
Aunt Liu was surprised: "Madam, do you know too? That's right, the fourth lady used to be about 150 kilograms. Unexpectedly, after not seeing it for two years, she turned into a slim beauty. She always felt that the fourth lady seemed to be too thin. She was actually very beautiful before and was lucky."
Gu Beibei is only 1.5 meters tall now, but before, he was only 1.5 meters tall, but that 150 kilograms are indeed very fat.
Zuo Li's expression became serious, because she didn't want to be fat anymore, so was she going on a diet?
