Chapter 44
On Friday afternoon, the day before Gu Anze's birthday, he had invited several close friends today, except Su Li and Gu Moran.
On his birthday last year, he was in school and Gu Anze received a gift from Su Li. He was very surprised at that time.
But I don't know if Su Li still remembers that during the last class, Gu Anze organized the textbooks in advance. As soon as the teacher left, he got up and walked towards Class 5, with Pei Chengyuan following behind.
Gu Moran stuffed a pile of test papers, homework books, and books into his schoolbag, then turned his head to look at Su Li next to him, and asked casually: "Lili, do you have any plans for the weekend?"
"No, I might stay at home."
"I should be too."
Before she said a few words, Gu Moran's eyes fell on Gu Anze and Pei Chengyuan standing at the window. She frowned in confusion, not understanding what they were here for.
After Pei Chengyuan felt Gu Moran's gaze, he raised his hand to straighten his bangs and collar, and stuffed his hand into his trouser pocket in a cool way.
Su Li zipped up, picked up his schoolbag and stood up, saying, "I've packed it, let's go."
Gu Mo Ran came back to her senses and hummed a few times. She stood up and followed Su Li out of the classroom without saying much.
Gu Anze and Pei Chengyuan saw them walking towards the front door of the classroom and strode over.
Su Li looked at Gu Anze who suddenly appeared at the door in surprise. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Anze raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and responded with a stiff expression: "Tomorrow is my birthday."
Of course Su Li knew that tomorrow was his birthday. She had remembered it since junior high school, and it had been five years now. Su Li had also bought a birthday gift in advance, but she was too embarrassed to give it to him in advance. She was still thinking about it today, otherwise she would have to wait until next Monday.
I'll give it to you if you meet me by chance.
Pei Chengyuan took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them over: "Anze wants to hold a simple birthday party tomorrow at his house. This is the address. You must come."
Gu Moran and Su Li both took the piece of paper. In fact, even if Pei Chengyuan didn't give it, Su Li knew the address, and Gu Moran roughly knew which street it was on. After all, it was written very clearly in the original book.
From the moment he stopped at the door of the classroom to talk, Gu Anze's eyes never left Su Li.
Gu Moran felt that Gu Anze's eyes were a little drawn, and for those who didn't know, he thought they were lovers.
Su Li put the piece of paper into his pocket and lowered his eyelids shyly: "I will definitely go tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Anze realized something, and he hurriedly added "we."
Because that pause easily made people think too much, the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward. Pei Chengyuan, a chatterbox, directly broke the atmosphere and said jokingly: "If we don't leave, we will block the students who are leaving the classroom behind."
They all walked towards the corridor. Gu Mo Ran could only think about the birthday party. The original book did not mention that Gu Anze was going to hold it at home. It must have something to do with Han Yue and Cheng Luoluo. It seemed that he would definitely cause trouble for Su Li tomorrow.
Gu Moran took a deep breath, already a little annoyed. She was busy doing homework and losing weight recently. Especially when she thought about how much homework she had on Saturdays and Sundays, she really didn't want to deal with the emotional line of the original book.
At first, Gu Moran was walking quite close to them, but when they approached the stairs, they started to distance themselves by more than ten steps.
Pei Chengyuan turned around and looked at Gu Moran, who was walking at the back. He slowed down his pace, waiting for her to walk over slowly, and then walked side by side. Originally, Pei Chengyuan wanted to put his arm on Gu Moran's shoulder, but his arm
As soon as I lifted it, I put it down.
Ever since he wanted to express his feelings to Gu Moran, Pei Chengyuan felt a little uncomfortable talking to her.
Pei Chengyuan hesitated for two seconds before asking with concern: "Why don't you say anything?"
She came back to her senses and said, "I just don't know what to say."
Pei Chengyuan continued to stuff his hands into his trouser pockets and changed the subject: "Then do you know the way? Do you need me to pick you up tomorrow? Don't get lost and don't come."
Pei Chengyuan looked at Gu Moran with a sullen face, as if he was not happy, and seemed to be thinking about something. He was indeed a little worried that Gu Moran would not go, after all, the friendship between the four of them was not balanced.
Even though they were all friends, Gu Moran actually didn't have much contact with Gu Anze. If Pei Chengyuan and Su Li were not present, Gu Moran would hardly talk to Gu Anze, acting as if he was not familiar with them.
The main reason is that she originally had social fears. In the past, except for Pei Chengyuan, she did not dare to talk to the opposite sex.
"No need to pick him up, I can go by myself. Didn't you just give me the address? It's not like I can't read."
Pei Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was already looking forward to meeting Gu Moran tomorrow.
Since she had to waste almost a day to attend the birthday party tomorrow, Gu Moran worked on her homework until midnight. Except for the test papers and exercises, she finished all the homework that needed to be copied.
Gu Moran weighed herself again before going to bed, and she lost another two pounds. She lay down on the bed contentedly, closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Gu Moran waited until Gu's father and Gu's mother went to work before getting up. She didn't want to explain too much, fearing that the more she explained, the more confusion she would get, so she didn't mention it.
If I go today, I'll do it secretly. Anyway, Gu's mother gets home first after five o'clock. As long as she can get home at four o'clock, that's fine.
Gu Moran didn't pay much attention to the clothes she wore to the birthday party. She casually wore ordinary casual pants and a down jacket, with only a thick black sweater underneath.
When she was about to go out, Gu Moran stood in front of the full-length mirror at home. She took a closer look at her original image and felt that she looked much more elegant than she had more than a month ago.
Especially that face, it doesn't look too ugly anymore.
Gu Moran went out in a good mood. As soon as she turned the corner, she suddenly saw Lu Lin's back. She was so panicked that she didn't dare to breathe. In addition to not wanting her father and mother to know about attending the birthday party, Gu Moran also
I don't want Lu Lin to know.
She didn't want Lu Lin to know how close she was to Pei Chengyuan.
Gu Moran didn't dare to take a detour, fearing that she would get lost like last time, so she hid in the corner and waited for a few minutes to make sure that Lu Lin had finished taking out the garbage and disappeared into the street before she dared to come out.
Gu Moran walked quickly to the alley where Lu Lin's house was, and then rushed to the bus stop.
The living room of Gu Anze's house is now decorated with colorful ribbons and balloons. Pei Chengyuan was the closest and was the first to arrive. He, Gu Anze and the nanny made these together.
It was already ten o'clock when Gu Moran arrived by bus, holding in her hand a cheap gift bought at a nearby supermarket.
As soon as she entered the villa, Gu Moran felt hot all over. The floor heating in Gu Anze's house was quite hot. She glanced at the two stranger boys who were playing games in the living room, and finally her eyes fell on Pei Chengyuan.
Pei Chengyuan wore a gray suit jacket and pants made of suit fabric. The shoes were slightly mismatched, but they did not affect his temperament at all. Pei Chengyuan also had a very trendy hair style, which made him look much more handsome and mature.
Pei Chengyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Moran at the door, raised the corners of his lips, put down his phone, and walked over quickly with his long legs: "It's not too late."
Gu Moran pretended to be her original self, she clenched the gift box in her hand tightly, and sighed reluctantly.
Pei Chengyuan thought that she was a criminal in society, so he said with a smile: "Just treat it as if you are at your own home, don't be so formal."
Gu Moran hummed again.
Worried that she would not adapt to the atmosphere of the banquet, Pei Chengyuan took Gu Moran to the balcony on the second floor and talked to her about the types of green plants and their flowering periods.
Gu Moran knew that the original person was influenced by Gu's mother and usually liked flowers and plants. The original person must have talked to Pei Chengyuan about this before, but she was not interested at all and responded to Pei Chengyuan in a perfunctory manner.
Within a few minutes, Gu Moran suddenly saw Cheng Luoluo walking over. She was wearing a pink dress today. She looked very noble and beautiful. Her face was pink and she had long wavy hair that she had just done yesterday.
When the time comes, he will definitely outshine Su Li.
Gu Moran could imagine that Cheng Luoluo would definitely act like a monster at the banquet later, and Han Yue might come back suddenly.
There were too many important protagonists at the banquet, and Gu Moran was not easy to stretch out, and some did not dare to reveal her true nature in order to stop them. It took a lot of effort for her to disguise herself until now.
Gu Moran interrupted Pei Chengyuan and asked, "Does Cheng Luoluo plan to live here forever?"
He responded: "Of course not. It seems that I have to wait until Aunt Cheng and Uncle Cheng come back from their trip."
Gu Moran hummed absentmindedly. She always felt that Cheng Luoluo planned to stay until the winter vacation. Now that he was studying, Cheng Luoluo didn't have much contact with Gu Anze at home. When the vacation was complete, wouldn't it be twenty-five days a day?
For four hours, we will definitely meet frequently, just like living together.
In many of the plots of ancient novels, the male and female protagonists live together in a confused way, and then develop the spark of love.
Pei Chengyuan suddenly said, "Should we go downstairs and take a look? Maybe Su Li is already here."
Gu Moran raised his hand to push the frame and replied "Okay."
After they went downstairs, they found that someone else had come, but it was not Su Li. Until almost twelve o'clock at noon, Su Li still didn't come.
Gu Anze suddenly became a little irritable and restless. He originally planned to blow out the candles on his birthday on the hour, but now Gu Anze's mind was filled with Su Li.
Of course Cheng Luoluo knew what Gu Anze was thinking, so she deliberately said: "It's almost time, do you want to prepare the cake now?"
Gu Anze's junior high school friend also knew Su Li, and of course he also knew about Gu Anze's friendship with her. He followed suit and said, "It's almost time, don't wait for Su Li."
Gu Anze remained silent. He raised his eyes and looked at the time. He had chatted with Su Li online last night, and she clearly said that she would definitely arrive before twelve o'clock.
Gu Moran was unsure. She couldn't guess why Su Li would be late, but according to Su Li's character, he would definitely come.
