Chapter Sixteen: Just Say It
The girl standing at the door is wearing a pair of jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Her bangs are at the level of her eyebrows. Her hair is neither long nor short, just hanging on her shoulders. She has a pair of bright eyes that seem to hide the stars. She has a white neck with a
The necklace is a little faded, it must have been old, and there is a heart-shaped pendant hanging on it.
The price won't be too high.
"I'm not disturbing you, right?" The girl smiled sweetly, but Gu Chuxue had already walked in holding her arm.
"I've told you how many times, coming to our house is just like going back to your own home, why are you so polite!" Gu Chuxue felt a little dissatisfied with Xiaoxia's attitude, "Are you still buying fruit? You're done, my mother will do it later.
I have to criticize you again!”
When Xiaoxia smiled, there were still two shallow dimples. Her bright eyes fell on Gu Yuan, a little surprised.
"Xiaoyuanzi, you are back!"
When Gu Yuan was a child, he was white and fat, like a little meatball, so he got this nickname for no reason. At first, he was called his second uncle and his second aunt. Later, Xia Youzhi found out about it, and the whole school knew about it. At that time, Gu Yuan was still
Xiao, even lost his temper with Xia Youzhi because of this, but within two days they reconciled.
The relationship between children is like this. It seems to be very fragile, but in fact, it is unbreakable. On the contrary, when they grow up, they rarely have violent conflicts, let alone fights on the grass like they did when they were children. But
Relationships will gradually drift apart, and once there are slight cracks, it is difficult to repair.
Gu Yuan glanced at Xia Youzhi and said angrily: "Big mouth."
Xia Youzhi was slightly startled, a little unhappy.
The second aunt came out of the kitchen and smiled happily when she saw Xiaoxia.
"Xiaoxia came just in time, don't leave, let's have dinner together!"
Before Xia Youzhi could refuse, the second aunt turned to look at Gu Yuan again, and said with a sneer: "Xiao Yuanzi, Xiao Xia cares about you, what a big mouth! If I hear you talking about Xiao Xia again, I will hang you up and beat you!"
Gu Yuan's face was filled with despair.
Xiao Xia was so proud that she sat next to Gu Yuan and patted his shoulder in a very manly manner.
"Xiao Yuanzi, did you hear what Auntie said? I care about you!"
"Thank you." Gu Yuan said, "Why don't you publish that bad thing about me in the newspaper?"
"Isn't there no channel?" Xia Youzhi said with a serious look on his face, blinking his eyes.
Gu Yuan's face darkened.
"By the way, Fang Yu said he would come to see you tomorrow." Xiaoxia said again.
Gu Yuan said "hmm".
Fang Yu was Gu Yuan's high school classmate and also a college classmate. Not only did they have the same major in college, they were also in the same dormitory. They were serious buddies and the three of them often hung out together.
In fact, Fang Yu's family situation is very good. Every time he eats, he pays for it. A watch on his wrist costs more than ten or two hundred thousand. However, after getting acquainted with Gu Yuan Xiaoxia, he never saw him.
I've worn that watch.
Xiaoxia smiled and said: "Fang Yu has been very anxious these past two days. He just graduated from college and his family arranged a blind date."
While he was talking, his second uncle Gu Jianshan had already opened the door with the key and came in.
Although Gu Jianshan was already over 40 years old, he looked much younger in his yamen uniform, with sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows.
"Xiao Yuanzi, are you back?!" Seeing Gu Yuan sitting on the sofa, Gu Jianshan was stunned for two seconds, and then he was overjoyed. He threw the key on the entrance cabinet, took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack behind the door.
, walked quickly to the front.
He walked with a breeze, and arrived in front of him in a few steps. He grabbed Gu Yuan's arm, pulled him up, and looked at him carefully.
"Are you okay? You didn't encounter any trouble when you were alone outside?"
"It's okay, second uncle...I'm okay." Gu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "How old am I?"
The second aunt came in with the dishes and said with a smile: "How old are you? Aren't you also a child? Okay, hurry up and get ready to eat. There is still the last dish. Lao Gu, you take the children and sit down."
"Well, okay." Gu Jianshan then noticed Xia Youzhi and said with a shy face, "Xiao Xia is here too? I'm sorry, uncle didn't see it just now."
"Uncle, it's okay, it's okay." Xia Youzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Gu Chuxue said sourly: "When Lao Gu comes back, he will see Gu Yuan. How can he see anyone else?"
Gu Jianshan frowned and said angrily: "Your brother just came back, isn't it right for me to care about him?"
"How dare you." Gu Chuxue rolled her eyes.
Gu Jianshan had nothing to do with his daughter, but his second aunt was not used to it. She stood at the door with a spatula and said domineeringly: "Gu Chuxue, don't force me to slap you in front of Xiaoxia, you are so arrogant.
, come in and serve the food!”
In this family, the second aunt is definitely at the top of the food chain. She glared, and even Gu Chuxue did not dare to be presumptuous.
Seeing Gu Yuan come back, Gu Jianshan's worried heart was relieved. With a smile on his face, he took Gu Yuan, Xia Youzhi and the others to sit down.
"It's good to come back...it's good to come back, Xiaoyuanzi. Don't turn off your phone when you go out from now on. It's really worrying."
"Well, second uncle, I won't do it again." Gu Yuan scratched his head and said immediately.
Xia Youzhi glanced at him and teased: "I'm quite surprised that Xiao Yuanzi didn't change her online name to 'June's Sorrow'."
Gu Yuan: "..."
What kind of words is this!
You have enough!
When he started to move his chopsticks, Gu Jianshan remembered something.
"Is there someone missing?"
The second aunt said angrily: "Your son."
"Oh yes... where is Xiao Lei?" Gu Jianshan frowned and said with a cold face, "What time is it already? Why isn't he back yet?"
"It's his classmate's birthday," the second aunt said, "I asked him to come back before nine o'clock."
After hearing this, the expression on the second uncle's face softened, and he began to ask Gu Yuan about the story of his journey.
At the dinner table, Gu Yuan originally wanted to tell his second uncle about his encounter with the demon soul and his transformation into a supernatural being, but considering that his second aunt Xia Youzhi and Gu Chuxue were both there, he held back. Firstly, he himself was confused at the moment.
, the second is... I don’t want too many people to worry about myself.
So he was picky and picky, only talking about some interesting things during the journey and ordinary things he saw and heard, but did not mention anything that happened in the demon realm.
At the dinner table, Gu Jianshan glanced at Gu Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, frowning slightly, but said nothing.
After they had eaten and drank enough, the second aunt asked Gu Yuan to take Xiaoxia home.
"Second Aunt, she lives in the same community as us..." Gu Yuan said helplessly.
"I'll give it to you if I ask you to. Where does all this nonsense come from? What's wrong with the same community? They're separated by several buildings!" The second aunt said rationally, "Xiaoxia is a little girl. It's not safe to go back at night."
"Auntie, no need, I'll just go back by myself." Xia Youzhi said quickly.
"Let Xiao Yuanzi see you off!" The second aunt glared at Gu Yuan, who had no choice but to get up and leave with Xiao Xia.
Gu Chuxue asked curiously: "Mom and Dad, do you want to bring Gu Yuan and Sister Xiaoxia together?"
"Call me brother!" Gu Jianshan said seriously, "Children, don't ask so many questions."
Gu Chuxue rolled her eyes, put on her slippers and went back to her room to play games.
Gu Jianshan was silent for a moment, then picked up the cigarette case on the table and lit a cigarette.
"This kid has something on his mind."
The second aunt put away the dishes and said: "When he comes back, you can ask him carefully. But if he tells you, just listen. If he doesn't tell you, don't ask too much. You are a young man, and it is normal for you to have some worries."
The second uncle just nodded and said nothing.
…
The unit building of Xia Youzhi's house is only a hundred meters away from the Gu family, and the second aunt's feelings are clearly obvious.
"Xia Youzhi, can you walk faster?" Gu Yuan urged when he saw Xia Youzhi walking slowly beside him.
"I know, I know!" He said this, but Xia Youzhi still walked in small steps with a sweet smile on his face.
She looked at Gu Yuan who was walking in front, with her little hands behind her back and humming a tune she didn't know where she heard it from.
All the way to the downstairs of the unit.
"Go up, I have to go back."
Xia Youzhi stood downstairs, watching Gu Yuan's shadow getting longer and longer by the street lights, and suddenly shouted.
"Little Yuanzi!"
Gu Yuan stopped and turned to look at her.
"Um?"
"It's okay, be happy!"
"I would be happier if you didn't report that to my second uncle and second aunt." Gu Yuan waved his hand and walked away.
The girl touched the pendant on her chest and curled her lips.
