Chapter 60
What was placed on the dining table was what Gu's father had said before was the so-called better-than-usual meal. Except for the pickles that were not usually available for breakfast, the rest of the items were the same and there was no difference.
Father Gu felt that he had been slapped in the face for a moment, and he awkwardly said to Gu Mo Ran: "It's better to eat something light in the morning."
Gu Cheng interrupted: "It's quite good, but there's a lack of meat and seafood in this mouth..."
Feeling Gu's father staring at him, Gu Cheng immediately became so quiet that he didn't dare to say anything even before he finished speaking.
The person Gu Cheng usually fears most at home is Gu's father. If it weren't for the fact that today was New Year's Eve, he wouldn't dare to interrupt.
There was nothing to do in the morning. After breakfast, Gu Moran went back to the bedroom to put on makeup. She had been putting on makeup for almost half an hour when she suddenly heard Gu Cheng calling her name in the yard.
In order to pretend that it was her first time putting on makeup, Gu Mo Ran deliberately put on very light makeup. She slicked her lipstick hastily, then opened the door and went out of the bedroom, walked to the yard and asked doubtfully: "Why are you calling me?"
This was the first time Gu Cheng saw Gu Moran with makeup on, and his eyes were a little straight. He didn't expect that his own sister would be so beautiful with makeup. She was still the ordinary to a bit ugly girl half a year ago.
Gu Cheng stared blankly for a few seconds before coming back to his senses and said, "Brother Lu Lin asked us to go to his house to help him."
Gu Moran pretended to be calm and said, on the way to Lu Lin's house, she learned from Gu Cheng what help she would need later.
Lu's father works far away and rarely goes home. He took the subway in the middle of the night on holiday just before New Year's Eve. By now, Lu's mother had already picked him up at the subway station.
Mother Lu told Lu Lin to post the couplets before they returned home. Lu Lin went directly to call Gu Cheng for help. Of course, he also told Gu Cheng to call Gu Mo Ran.
As soon as he walked to the door of Lu Lin's house, Gu Moran saw the tall figure standing in the yard. He was also wearing a coat today. Coincidentally, except for the different colors, the styles were almost the same. Lu Lin also wore a wide-legged coat on his lower body.
pants.
The whole outfit is very similar to hers.
"Brother Lu Lin, we are here to help."
Lu Lin turned around after hearing Gu Cheng's voice and shifted his gaze to Gu Moran. The moment it fell completely on her face, Lu Lin's pupils dilated obviously.
But he quickly looked away.
Lu Lin brought over the arranged Spring Festival couplets and Gu Cheng took them.
Then Lu Lin tilted his head and asked her: "Um, aren't you cold if you wear so little?"
Gu Moran responded: "Fortunately, you are also wearing very little."
Lu Lin hummed, then changed the subject: "I just need to post the two Spring Festival couplets on the door, and I'll treat you to candies later."
"No problem, we'll cover it." At this age, Gu Cheng still loves snacks. He strode to the door happily and began to compare how to stick it properly.
Gu Moran went over to help. She was short, so she only needed to help tear off the tape and hold the lower part of the Spring Festival couplets.
Within two minutes, Gu Moran noticed Lu Lin coming out carrying two red lanterns. He first put the lanterns on the ground, then walked to the utility room in the yard and carried the ladder out.
This was Lu Lin's first time hanging a lantern, and his whole behavior was very unfamiliar and clumsy.
Lu Lin lifted the ladder with one hand and climbed up, then raised his arm and hung the lantern to the upper right corner of the eaves. He hung it for half a minute. After making sure it was stable, he came down. He moved the ladder to the other side and hung it up smoothly.
.
By the time Lu Lin moved the ladder back to the yard, they had already posted the two Spring Festival couplets.
Gu Cheng was very shameless when he entered Lu Lin's house and followed him to ask for candy.
Lu Lin grabbed two handfuls of candies from the living room and gave them to Gu Cheng after leaving the yard. Then he walked to the door of the house and gave them to her, "I'll give you a reward."
Gu Moran looked at the slender hand in front of her. There were several different types of candies in Lu Lin's hand. She stretched out her hands to take them, and then put all the candies into her pocket.
The second lantern that Lu Lin hung was not very stable and had already fallen down. It happened to fall behind Lu Lin, missing his head by just a few centimeters.
Gu Chenggang stuffed a gummy candy into his mouth, and after seeing this situation, he walked towards the utility room, "I'm going to move the ladder."
Lu Lin didn't know that the lantern was so close to him. He turned around and just started to walk, when he almost tripped and fell to the ground.
Gu Moran's heart trembled slightly and he was stunned. How could this scene be so similar to the one that happened before?
Lu Lin had already knelt down to lift the lantern on the ground. After Gu Cheng brought the ladder, the two of them worked together to hang the lantern up again.
Gu Moran spent the entire process in a daze.
"Brother Lu Lin, my sister and I are going home first. We'll see you at the fireworks show in the evening."
"Okay, see you tonight."
It wasn't until Gu Cheng and Lu Lin started to say goodbye that Gu Moran came back to her senses. She stared at Lu Lin with a complicated expression. For a second or two, Gu Moran was almost impulsive and wanted to ask him personally if it was true.
Gu Chengdu was about to leave, only to find that Gu Moran was still standing there, not understanding, and staring at Lu Lin unblinkingly.
Gu Cheng was secretly amused in his heart, and asked deliberately: "Sister, why are you staring at Brother Lu Lin like this? Could it be that you like him?"
Gu Mo Ran put away his eyes and did not respond to what Gu Cheng asked just now. Instead, he turned around and fled quickly.
Gu Cheng looked at Lu Lin in confusion and asked gossiping: "What's going on? Could it be that my sister really likes you?"
A smile flashed in Lu Lin's eyes. He shrugged his shoulders and asked back, "Didn't you tell me before that your sister likes Pei Chengyuan?"
"That's my guess. Today I guessed that the person my sister likes is actually you."
The sky at night was full of fireworks. Gu Mo Ran was sitting on the balcony drinking tea and watching. The cold wind had already made her shiver a little, but it still couldn't wake her up from her love mind.
Gu Moran's mind was filled with the coincidences during the day.
The world in the book is still very old. She returned to the bedroom and turned on the computer. As soon as she logged in to the social software, she received several New Year blessings.
Gu Moran responded politely, only to realize that Lu Lin had already told him Happy New Year, and he said it at midnight.
Su Li should have met Gu Anze today...
At this time, not only were Gu Anze's parents present, but also Cheng Luoluo's family.
During dinner in the evening, Gu Anze, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Uncle and aunt, I have actually wanted to tell you something for a long time. Taking this opportunity today, I would like to explain my current relationship with Cheng Luoluo."
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother seemed to have already guessed it, and looked at him with natural expressions.
Gu Anze continued: "I have a girl I like. If it weren't for the marriage contract that tied me, I might have confessed to her a long time ago. Cheng Luoluo and I are just friends. Now, Cheng Luoluo and I are just friends.
Ordinary classmates, I don’t want to miss the person I love because of this fruitless engagement, so please cancel our engagement?”
Gu Anze was very sincere and serious when he said these words, which made Cheng's father a little shaken. In fact, Cheng's father didn't really want to build a relationship with the Gu family, and he didn't really want to change from being friends to being in-laws.
What's more, Cheng's father has long since noticed that Gu Anze is no longer interested in his daughter. His family is no worse than the Gu family, so there is no need to flatter her.
But Cheng's father is a strict wife, and he can't resist anything Cheng's mother decides.
Cheng Luoluo was ready to face all this. After hearing Gu Anze's words, she was still sad, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
When Cheng's mother saw her daughter looking so sad, she angrily shouted back: "So what if you have someone you like now? You still have a long way to go in life. I guarantee you will fall in love with my family in the future. No matter how much you express your love, it will be enough."
Together, does the girl you like really like you?"
Gu Anze put down his chopsticks heavily and became a little out of control, "I can feel that she likes me. No matter now or in the future, the only person I like can only be her, and it can never be anyone else."
Gu Anze knew that the engagement would not be canceled so easily. Today he just gave them a vaccination. After saying this, he stood up and left.
Mother Cheng was so angry that her head began to hurt.
Seeing this, Han Yue hurriedly smoothed things over: "He is still young and not sensible. He is a bit rebellious in adolescence and will not listen to our arrangements. He will gradually understand this when he becomes an adult."
Cheng Luoluo stood up and followed.
Gu Anze went outside the villa to get some fresh air. He didn't notice Su Li who was planning to surprise him not far away.
Gu Anze came back late today because he had something to do. He didn't meet Su Li, so he agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Cheng Luoluo trotted up to Gu Anze, her eyes still slightly red, "If you really want to cancel the engagement, I can find a way to persuade my mother."
Gu Anze said with a dark face: "There is no need to pretend to be hypocritical here. Do you think I will trust you again?"
Cheng Luoluo was so anxious that she cried, her nasal voice was extremely heavy, "What I told you this time is the truth. I don't want to get engaged to you. I just want you to stop ignoring me and stop hating me so much."
Gu Anze frowned in disgust.
Su Li was standing behind the tree. She couldn't hear what Gu Anze was specifically saying to Cheng Luoluo. She only saw the two of them talking, and then Cheng Luoluo hugged Gu Anze's arm.
Although he broke away quickly, Su Li still thought too much. She knew that Cheng Luoluo hadn't given up on Gu Anze yet.
But why did Gu Anze choose to be friends with Cheng Luoluo even though he already knew the truth? Even during the Chinese New Year, Cheng Luoluo still went to Gu Anze's house? Could it be that they were set up by their parents?
Su Li didn't know that Gu Anze already knew the truth and took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
She thought they were still friends.
Su Li lowered her head, looked at the thing in her hand, clenched it tightly, then turned and left. In order to see Gu Anze, she took out almost all her pocket money tonight.
Su Li took the bus when she came here, but now there are no buses, so she had to spend more money to take a taxi home.
Gu Anze rejected all of Cheng Luoluo's requests because he would never believe a word of her again.
