Chapter 18
Chapter 18
The days are beautiful and peaceful, and every day is full of little happiness, but a text message broke Gu Pan's current life.
Gu Pan, I am your father's friend.Are you wondering why you can't speak?Let's meet to find out why.
One shows the number of city D in province J.
When Chen Shaochen saw the message, his face darkened.
"This number called me once before, but I didn't answer it." Gu Pan explained one by one, "I didn't care at the time."
"When did this happen?"
"May." She paid a little attention because it was the number of city D.
"One phone call and one text message—" he repeated in a low voice, "this person should know your parents, and he has an unusual relationship. Have you ever thought of who it is?"
Gu Pan shook his head, "Could it be my father's business-friend?"
"Do you want to contact your parents?"
She thought for a while, "I haven't been able to speak for so many years, so what if I know the reason? What's more, I'm living a happy life now." Why worry in vain.
She vaguely felt that the truth would not be too good.
Chen Shaochen thought for a moment, "I'll check this number tomorrow, and let me know if he contacts you again."
Gu Pan nodded, as long as she was safe, she didn't want to worry about anything else.
Chen Shaochen found out the owner of that number two days later.Zhou Haohao, a native of D city.She also has another identity, Gu Pan's father's girlfriend who once talked about marriage.
He used Chen's father's connections, so naturally Chen Zhanbei also knew about it.
Xu Chenxi called, "Shao Chen, what are you doing with that person?"
Chen Shaochen didn't want to talk about this with his mother, after all it was about the privacy of his future father-in-law.He played Tai Chi with his mother, "A friend asked me to help."
Xu Chenxi was silent at the other end, "What friend? It just so happens that your friend has a close relationship with Gu Pan's father."
Chen Shaochen coughed dryly.
Xu Chenxi said angrily: "Sure enough, I have a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother. When will I bring Panpan to sit at home, and I will cook a few dishes. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Chen Shaochen smiled comfortably, "Aren't you coming to City B?"
"Come! Of course! The air tickets are booked." After a moment of silence, she added, "Your dad is coming too."
Chen Shaochen rubbed his forehead, "I'll ask her if she has time."
Well, I got Joe too.
On this day, Gu Pan was editing a drawing in a coffee shop.There was someone sitting across from her, a 50-[-]-year-old woman with a familiar face.
Gu Pan couldn't remember where he saw it for a while.
The woman pulled the corner of her mouth lightly, her smile was very weak, but when the corner of her mouth moved, the wrinkles around her eyes also appeared, which were traces of time. "Gu Pan—" The woman wore a black dress, which was a style from a few years ago, but the dress was neatly arranged.
Gu Pan was stunned.
The woman looked at her straight, as if she was looking for something on her body, and it took her a long time before she said, "You and your father have five points alike."
"Are you my father's friend?" Gu Pan asked again.
She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, "Friend? What's more? I almost became his wife once."
Zhou Haohao's eyebrows are full of sadness.
Gu Pan seemed to be punched hard by someone, she had an unbelievable expression on her face.
Zhou Hao clasped his hands together, "It seems that you don't know anything about it. Also, who wants to bring up those unhappy things?"
Gu Pan choked his throat.
"When I first knew about your existence, I also thought that after Huaicheng and I got married, I would take good care of you." Zhou Hao seemed to be recalling.
Gu Pan held the pen, his bones turned white.
Zhou Haohao just narrated the previous stories. She grew up with her father and was a childhood sweetheart. She has always liked him very much.When she mentioned her father, her expression sometimes showed the shyness of a girl, and sometimes it was full of resentment.She was a little confused, but Gu Pan still understood.
"I have been in prison for the crime of intentionally hurting others. The person I hurt was your mother. Your father is also really ruthless, whether it is to me or your mother."
Zhou Hao blinked, "You should know that your parents were once divorced."
Gu Pan bit the corner of her lip, she knew this.
This small gesture betrayed her mind.Zhou Haohao continued: "Your parents haven't been pregnant for several years because your father has been drugging your mother. And you can't speak, which is also caused by those drugs."
Gu Pan's back was sweating for a while, and his face was almost pale.
Zhou Hao picked up his water glass and took a sip of the cold boiled water, "This is a debt. God will always use other ways to get it back. Gu Pan's existence is to repay their debts."
There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures, the cycle of cause and effect, everything in the world is destined.
She can't remember many things when she was a child, and her parents probably deliberately downplayed those memories of her, so they seldom mention them, and those memories of her childhood are becoming more and more blurred.
Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "Why did you tell me this?" The handwriting was a little erratic.
Zhou Haohao looked directly into her eyes, and those familiar eyes made her feel a little dazed, "For so many years, I have lived in the same city as your father, but I have never seen him before. Your family is living a happy and harmonious life. Days, I want to see what happiness looks like."
Song Huaicheng, you are so cruel, your precious daughter doesn't know anything.Are you avoiding me, afraid that I will hurt their mother and daughter?I won't be so stupid anymore, but I won't make you happy either.
When Zhou Haohao was about to leave, she looked back at Gu Pan, who was sitting there slumped.Zhou took out his mobile phone and took a photo, opened the mailbox, edited the email and sent it out.
This is the connection between her and Song Huaicheng that has been delayed for many years.Thinking about it, it's time for her to book a flight back to City D to meet her old friends.
Gu Pan sat there until it was dark, the people around changed wave after wave, and the drawing was not repaired. She picked up the phone and found that the phone was out of battery.
The twilight outside the window has covered the entire sky.
It is said that the memory of a fish is only seven seconds. If possible, she hopes that today she is a fish and forgets all this.
When I got home, I could see the faint lights of my house downstairs.She quickened her pace and opened the door, where Chen Shaochen's shoes were placed.She was looking for him eagerly, and he sat on the sofa, with many emotions flashing through his dull eyes.
In the end, there was only one sentence, "I'm back." Three simple words.
Gu Pan hurried over, her eyes were filled with apology, and she gestured, "The phone is out of battery."
Chen Shaochen kept sending her messages, but there was no news.
Gu Pan's aura at this moment has already weakened to a negative number.
"Where's the phone?" Chen Shaochen asked.
Gu Pan quickly took it out, and Chen Shaochen went to charge it silently.Gu Pan followed behind him, um, he made another mistake.
As soon as the phone was plugged in, she quickly turned it on.
Text messages popped up one after another. She looked at him and gestured, "I met that person."
She thought she would cry, but in the end, she calmly gestured and said, "Don't be angry with me."
Chen Shaochen wasn't angry, it was just that he couldn't find her, the feeling of emptiness scratched his heart bit by bit, "Why did you forget to give me a message?"
Then, he comforted with distress: "It's all over. That man has ulterior motives."
Gu Pan frowned slightly, "I don't intend to tell my father and mother about this either."
Chen Shaochen stroked her long hair, "You can make up your mind, but you must remember to contact me in the future."
Gu Pan nodded again and again, "I know!"
Chen Shaochen smiled helplessly, "Panpan, I'm afraid! I'm afraid you'll leave without saying a word. How many three years can life last? Another three years, and I'll be thirty." He held up his finger Made a gesture.
Gu Pan sighed, like a primary school student who made a mistake, seriously reviewing it.
The next day, the two went to Chen Shaochen's apartment. His parents said they would come over and clean up the house.
The two of them worked together to clean the inside and outside. The bedding was replaced with a freshly washed four-piece suit, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of laundry detergent.
Gu Pan straightened the bed sheets, gestured, "What time does uncle and aunt fly tomorrow?"
Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "One o'clock in the afternoon."
Seeing that he didn't mention picking up the plane, Gu Pan bit the bullet and asked, "Should we pick up the plane?"
Chen Shaochen suppressed a smile, "No, it's not the first time I'm here, so I won't get lost."
Gu Pan shook her fingers, "I want to prepare some gifts." She emphasized again, "I need gifts."
Chen Shaochen walked over, "Listen to you, go shopping at night. After a busy day, you go take a shower first, and I'll go downstairs to buy food. What do you want to eat?"
Gu Pan thought for a while, "Roast duck, spicy lotus root slices, corn tortillas."
With doting eyes in his eyes, Chen Shaochen went downstairs.
Gu Pan hurried to take a shower, and after washing, he found that there was not a single towel in the bathroom.At this time, there was a sound of opening and closing the door.
She opened a crack in the door, poked her head out, and put one hand on the edge of the wooden door.When she saw the people in the room, she froze.
Xu Chenxi followed the prestige, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were still for a while.
Gu Pan felt that the heat on her body was getting higher and higher, the drops of water on her face dripped down, and the corners of her mouth opened, how should I explain it?
Xu Chenxi smiled slightly, gentle and kind, "Where are you taking a bath, did you forget your clothes?"
Gu Pan still had a trace of sanity left, she shook her head.
"Is it a towel?"
Gu Pan blushed and nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll look for it for you." Xu Chenxi walked to the balcony with a smile on his lips.
Gu Pan took the thin towel as if it weighed a thousand pounds.She did a full minute of self-comfort before she came out.
Xu Chenxi sat comfortably on the sofa, and when she saw her coming out, she greeted, "Come and sit."
Gu Pan bit the bullet and sat aside.
Xu Chenxi saw that her cheeks were flushed and the corners of her lips were pursed. It's been a long time since she saw her. The little girl looks better than before.
"You guys have kept the house pretty clean." Xu Chenxi said softly.
Gu Pan still couldn't avoid the embarrassment just now. She held a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other, and wrote, "We only came to clean this morning. I didn't know you came today."
Xu Chenxi smiled softly, ouch, these two people don't live here.In that scene just now, she, an old man, was completely delusional.
Xu Chenxi remained calm, "I'm going to clean up the house here first. I didn't expect you and Shaochen to become more and more sensible. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come earlier. Where is Shaochen?"
Gu Pan's palms were sweating, what happened three years ago made her ashamed to face the Chen family."He went shopping for dinner," she wrote.
Xu Chenxi frowned, "Eat less outside food, it's been reported on TV, it's all unhealthy food. Auntie will make it for you tomorrow, what do you want to eat?"
Gu Pan seemed to think that Chen Shaochen said that his mother's cooking skills were average, "Auntie, don't bother."
"It's okay, I'll show you guys tomorrow." Xu Chenxi was afraid that she would be nervous, so he picked some topics that could bring the two of them closer together, "Is the work settled yet?"
Gu Pan wrote: "There is no fix, just draw some cartoons."
Xu Chenxi nodded, "The last time I met your mother, I didn't have a chance to talk to her. When you go back this time, our two families should meet again."
Gu Pan kept thinking in his heart: Chen Shaochen, why haven't you come back yet?I knew I should not eat so much.
Xu Chenxi kept smiling, "Don't be so cautious. I always wanted to have a daughter before, but Shao Chen turned out to be a boy, but I also made money, and a daughter-in-law is a daughter."
Gu Pan only smirked.
When Chen Shaochen opened the door, he saw the shoes at the door, "Mom—"
"I'm back." Xu Chenxi said.
Gu Pan glanced at him, sitting there like a little secretary.Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "Auntie, I'm going to the kitchen to get the dishes."
"Go ahead, treat it as your own home and be casual." Xu Chenxi said kindly.
Gu Pan's eyes twitched.She walked into the kitchen and immediately covered her face, which was really embarrassing.
in the living room.
Chen Shaochen put all the food on the table and asked, "Mom, how long have you been here?"
Xu Chenxi drank a glass of water gracefully, "Not long ago, just came here for a while." She paused, then added slyly, "At that moment, Gu Pan had just finished taking a shower, and I happened to bring her a towel. Sorry Ah, stole your job."
Chen Shaochen finally understood the meaning in Gu Pan's eyes just now, he laughed, that thin-skinned person wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"But if your father knows, he will definitely punish you. It's not a good name." Xu Chenxi said seriously.
Chen Shaochen smiled, "You think too much."
Xu Chenxi raised her eyebrows, "I'm really thinking too much? You've been back for so long." People in their twenties, can you bear being in front of your eyes?
Chen Shaochen shrugged, "No rush."
Xu Chenxi joked, "Aren't you in a hurry? I don't know who is desperately trying to catch up with their studies."
Chen Shaochen stood up, "Mom, where is my dad—"
"There is no problem with your father at all." Xu Chenxi collected his expression, "All the problems are on you, what have we ever done? But, I'm afraid that you should show a good performance to Panpan's father. "
Chen Shaochen nodded, "I know this."
Gu Pan took the bowl and chopsticks slowly, and Chen Shaochen walked in.She gestured to him, "I'm so ashamed! I can't see your mother anymore."
With a smile on his face, he said, "What should I do, my mother is delusional—"
How to do?
Gu Pan was embarrassed.
He smiled, "I should be back soon."
Gu Pan felt that this was what he should say.
"Come back early and hand you the towel." Chen Shaochen continued.
Gu Pan was dissatisfied, she assured that she just wanted to imitate the heroine in the TV series and pat the hero's chest, that's all, but for some reason, it ended up turning into - throwing herself into her arms.
His right hand caressed her face, his eyes were bright, "If you are so proactive, then I won't refuse." He really didn't refuse, he reached out and hugged her, his breath was actually the familiar smell of body wash, a warm breath It also revealed his hidden feelings, "I really want to see my uncle and aunt soon."
There were two knocks on the door.
"You two children come out to eat soon, the porridge is cold." Xu Chenxi said at the door.
The corners of Chen Shaochen's mouth raised, and he calmed down, "Go out to eat." He then combed her hair again.
Gu Pan wanted to hit the wall, but finally bit the bullet and went out to eat.
Xu Chenxi filled three bowls of porridge and put the dishes on a plate.The lamp above the dining table glowed warm orange.
"Sit down and eat."
The three began to eat quietly.
The temperature of the porridge is just right, and with the spicy lotus root slices, the taste is just right.
Xu Chenxi picked up a duck leg and put it on the plate in front of Gu Pan, "Come on, eat more after a busy day."
Just as Gu Pan was about to draw something, Chen Shaochen said, "For this roast duck, I stood in line for half an hour."
"That's what you deserve." Xu Chenxi said, "When I was pregnant with you, your father ran halfway across the city to buy hot and sour noodles for me."
Gu Pan wanted to laugh, although Chen's father was a little serious, but he was really kind to Chen's mother.
"What is Panpan thinking?" Xu Chenxi watched her keep looking at him.
Gu Pan compared the painting: "I think uncle is very good, cold outside and hot inside."
Xu Chenxi looked at Chen Shaochen and waited for him to translate.
Chen Shaochen frowned, "Panpan thinks that old couples and young wives are good."
Xu Chenxi clapped her hands, "That's natural."
Chen Shaochen chuckled, "When we were young, our family went out, and people mistakenly thought you and I were siblings, and regarded Dad as our uncle, have you forgotten?"
Gu Pan looked at Xu Chenxi in a blink of an eye, and saw Mother Chen's expression was a little embarrassed.
"This kid doesn't follow me and his father at all, it's not romantic. Panpan, please be more tolerant." Xu Chenxi pursed the corners of her lips, "Panpan, do you have time to go back with us in a few days?"
Gu Pan blinked, and heard Chen's mother say: "Our two parents will meet formally to settle your matter."
Although she was prepared, she was still very moved when she heard Mother Chen's words.
After dinner, Chen Zhanbei came over.Gu Pan was still a little nervous to see him.
Chen Zhanbei looked at her, "I brought some fruit over here, Shaochen, go and wash it."
Gu Pan and Chen Shaochen went to the kitchen together.Under the warm light, the two stood side by side, and the water was rushing.
Chen Shaochen was washing the fruit, and Gu Pan took his washed fruit.
He tilted his head, "They came this time just to see you."
Gu Pan squeezed the blueberry with a little force on his fingertips.
"Don't worry, my father and mother like you very much." He stared at her, "What are you thinking?" He raised his hand and tapped her eyebrows, making her face wet.
"The past three years seem to have been a long dream. When I woke up, you came back to me, as if you never left." Gu Pan gestured.
Chen Shaochen's voice was soft and low, "I've always been here." He wiped the water off her face with his sleeve.
"Uncle and aunt are very loving." Gu Pan gestured.
Chen Shaochen said with a half-smile, "We will do the same in the future."
She walked in front with a fruit plate, Chen Shaochen took a step behind her, and said in a voice she could hear: "I will do well, at least better than my dad."
Gu Pan paused, looked back at him, and gave him a big smile.
The two came out with fruits, and the four of them sat on the sofa and chatted about homework, enjoying themselves happily.
After nine o'clock, Chen Shaochen sent her back.
Chen Zhanbei and Xu Chenxi were talking.
"Shaochen should feel relieved this time, right? You can get married almost next year."
"I don't know if your son is willing to wait. I think he can't wait to get married tomorrow."
Chen Zhanbei stroked his forehead, "It doesn't matter, as long as the two of you are happy."
"Are you a little disappointed, there is a gap between your imagined daughter-in-law and the reality?"
Chen Zhanbei laughed, "No. Gu Pan is a very good child, she is a good match with Shao Chen." He said firmly, "Kind and upright, excellent in every aspect. In all fairness, Mrs. Chen, when you were young, you were very good at many things. Not as good as your daughter-in-law."
"Huh! Do you regret it? Regret is not enough! There is no return!"
The next day, the sky was clear and the temperature dropped slightly by two degrees.
Gu Pan accompanied Xu Chenxi to the shopping mall, Xu Chenxi pulled her, and in the blink of an eye, both of them had ten bags in their hands.
"Panpan, I've already prepared your mother's gift, and I don't know what your mother likes." Xu Chenxi was distressed.
Gu Pan was torn, she hadn't notified her parents yet, she was really in a state of turning her elbows outward.
Xu Chenxi took her to an underwear store.
The clerk came over and recommended it.
Xu Chenxi picked out a few sets, "Panpan to try."
Surprise flashed across Gu Pan's face.
Xu Chenxi said: "This bright red set is also good. It's good to wear when you get married. It's festive."
Aunt, you are thinking too far.
The clerk smiled, "Your daughter is in good shape, she can try it."
Gu Pan wanted to bow down, but Xu Chenxi glanced at her chest, "Panpan, go try it. It's okay, I'll swipe my card today."
When Gu Pan entered the fitting room, he sent a message to Chen Shaochen: Your mother brought me to the mall to buy a lot of clothes.
Chen Shaochen: Don't be polite to her.
Not this problem!
She typed another line: Your mother brought me to buy underwear.
Chen Shaochen replied: My mother has a good vision.
Gu Pan: ...
The two returned home with a full load.Gu Pan now feels that Mother Chen's mental age is much younger than her mother's. A mother-in-law with a girlish heart seems very cute.
Xu Chenxi wasn't tired at all when she got home, she was very energetic, she muttered, "It's better to be a daughter, you can go shopping with me, and we can help each other choose clothes."
Gu Pan put the clothes he bought for Chen Shaochen into the bedroom, when he heard the conversation from outside.
Xu Chenxi: "Shao Chen, these are Panpan's clothes. A few sets of underwear, don't forget to take them when she leaves later. I can't tell, your wife is in good shape."
Gu Pan's face was on fire.
"Indeed, she cultivated both internally and externally." She heard Chen Shaochen's answer.
Gu Pan didn't want to go out anymore.
This summer, City D was as hot as ever.
Song Huaicheng was working in the study, and was reading the email from the manager, "Hey——who sent this?"
Song Huaicheng's face also became tense, he looked at the sender's name - hao hao, he was shocked instantly, it turned out to be a picture of Panpan.
"Who sent the photo?" Gu Nian's voice trembled.
"Zhou Haohao." They haven't mentioned this name for many years.
The peaceful and peaceful life was finally broken when Zhou Haohao appeared.In these years, they deliberately did not think about the past, and recalled too much unhappiness, so everyone is choosing to forget.
Song Huaicheng is, and so is Gu Nian.
Song Huaicheng said, "I'll go talk to her and see what she's going to do."
Gu Nian's left hand kept rubbing the wrist of his right hand, where there was a scar, bright white, slightly raised.
"Why did she suddenly find Panpan?" she murmured.
"I've already sent her an email, we'll talk about it when we meet." Song Huaicheng was inexplicably agitated.
Gu Nian noticed, "Don't worry too much, if there is anything, Panpan will contact us."
Song Huaicheng scratched his hair, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid she will tell Panpan about the past." It's not that he didn't dare to face it, it's that he didn't want Panpan to be hurt again, and he was willing to bear all the pain by himself.
Zhou Haohao quickly replied to Song Huaicheng, listening to each other's voices through the mobile phone, both of them felt strangely strange.
"Alright, Panpan doesn't know anything, you—don't hurt her." Song Huaicheng didn't lose his temper.
Zhou Haohao sneered, "I just took a picture of her and you are uneasy? You have been forcing me like a flood for so many years, but now you take the initiative to contact me. I am really flattered."
Song Huaicheng frowned, "Where are you?"
"City B. Do you want to come over?" Zhou Haohao's voice was like cold wind.
Song Huaicheng's nerves were tense, "Okay, let's make an appointment to talk."
Zhou Haohao squinted her eyes, at the moment she was in the square, surrounded by strange travelers.She has been in city B for more than two months, and it's time for her to go back.
"In a few days, I'll go back to City D and wait for my contact." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and stood there blankly.
A foreign boy came over, smiled and asked her to take a photo.
Zhou Haohao readily agreed, and the two finally took a photo together.
There are too many passers-by in life, the first half of her life has passed by quietly, is she going to live like this for the second half of her life?
Perhaps this knot in her heart should be untied.
After Song Huaicheng and Gu Nian contacted Gu Pan, they insinuated and found nothing unusual, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Pan told her to go back to City D next week, but he didn't dare to say that he would go home with her boyfriend.
But Song Huaicheng was uneasy, his daughter and Zhou Haohao would come back around the same time, he was afraid that Zhou Haohao would say something to Panpan.
Gu Pan now often goes to Chen Shaochen's company, the atmosphere there is full of vitality.When Chen Shaochen is busy, she paints there.
"Little Bread and Little Oranges" is also about to end.
Little Orange and Little Bread have gone through all kinds of hardships and are finally together happily. So the question is, what should be the baby born by Orange and Bread?
Little Orange?small bread?Could it be Xiao Huihui?
Gu Pan went to ask Tang Qin for his opinion, whether the child is an orange or a bread.
Tang Tan: Didn't you know that you two had one child?
Gu Pan: ...
Tang Tan: How far have you talked?It should be done according to the progress, right?How is it?
Gu Pan: ...
Tang Tan: Does it hurt?Does it feel like in the movie?
Gu Pan: Teacher Tang is a model teacher, how can you be so - wretched?
Tang Tan: Have you forgotten what Teacher Kong said?Food sex also.Oops, Senior Brother Chen's skills should be excellent, come on, tell me?
Gu Pan shut the computer with a snap, it was too much!
As soon as Chen Shaochen opened the door, he saw her like this, "Want to change the notebook?"
Gu Pan blushed and gestured, "Is the meeting over?"
Chen Shaochen sat beside her, "Why are you here?"
Gu Pan gestured, "I told my mother to go back next week. However, I didn't tell them to go back with you."
Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked straight at her, "Well, it's okay." He twisted her hair with his fingertips, and his eyes fell on her smooth forehead.
Gu Pan touched his forehead subconsciously, and asked, "Do you want to cut it back?"
The corner of Chen Shaochen's mouth raised, "No, it's like this—it's very beautiful." Although the word "beautiful" has already been used to compliment people, Gu Pan's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably when he said it.
He was silent for a while and then said, "Have you kept your bangs for three years, have you been waiting for me to come back?"
Gu Pan sighed, "No, save money! Don't you know, now the barber shop starts at 20 for a bangs cut."
Chen Shaochen chuckled, "Don't save me money like this, Mrs. Chen."
Mrs. Chen——
Has your surname been crowned so quickly?
She shifted, twisted again, something loosened from her shoulders - got up to straighten.But someone kept pulling her, "Sit with me for a while, I have a headache."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom." Gu Pan gestured sadly and angrily.
Chen Shaochen looked at her, his eyes fell on her shoulders, and he saw the tape slightly protruding from the neckline of his jacket.
Gu Pan gritted her teeth, "This is a new one, bought by my aunt." She warned herself to be calm and steady.
Chen Shaochen sighed faintly, "There is still an actual gap between visual and manual measurements."
Gu Pan's throat seemed to be choked by something, is his boyfriend also like this?
When Gu Pan went to the lounge next door to tidy up his clothes, Chen Shaochen's voice sounded outside, "Panpan, let me use your computer to send an email."
Well, Gu Pan thought of something in a trance and ran out in a hurry.Wait a moment!
Chen Shaochen was already looking at her computer, and she felt like hitting the wall.
Gu Pan never told him what the comics she is drawing now are about.She walked over step by step, and gently pulled Chen Shaochen's arm.
The computer screen was really her drawing, as well as Tang Tan's nonsense.
She leaned over and stared at the screen. She didn't expect Tang Qin to talk a lot to herself after she closed the computer:
"Brother Chen should have a good figure, right?"
"From my professional point of view, it's an inverted triangle."
"Gu Pan, you earned it."
Gu Pan's slender fingers trembled slightly, gesticulating, "She's been drinking—"
Chen Shaochen smiled slightly, "Speak the truth after drinking. However, I think you should consult me, child of oranges and bread."
Gu Pan twitched the corners of her mouth, she just wanted to stay quietly for a while now.
On the day I returned to City D, it was drizzling and the sky was gloomy.
On the plane, Gu Pan kept thinking, after returning home, how should I tell my parents about my boyfriend?Dad was very angry about what happened back then.
In the dark, the two stood under the crape myrtle tree.
He said, "I'll come back in two days."
Gu Pan nodded.
Chen Shaochen rubbed her hair, "Any other indications?"
Gu Pan looked around, stood on tiptoe just wanting to kiss his cheek, but he turned his face away, lips to lips.
Fortunately, it was raining at this time and there were not many people, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Chen Shaochen put his arms around her and whispered in her ear: "I have taken a long vacation, so I can stay in City D for a long time."
What do you mean?
Gu Pan blinked, and just about to ask him, a voice came from behind him, the voice was full of uncertainty and surprise.
"Panpan—"
Gu Pan only felt a white light flash across his brain, and he turned around stiffly.
Grandpa and grandma are five meters away in front of her. The two old people have very good eyesight. "Panpan is back!"
Gu Pan nodded and gestured, "Grandma, grandpa—" looked at Chen Shaochen, "Grandpa, grandma, this is Chen Shaochen."
Chen Shaochen greeted the two old people politely.
Mr. Gu looked at him, "Chen Shaochen, this name is very familiar."
Gu Pan waved his hand, meaning to go home.
But Mr. Gu thought of it, "Panpan searched through boxes and cabinets to find a piece of paper, and the name was written on that piece of paper. Ouch, I don't have a good memory."
Chen Shaochen glanced at Gu Pan with a twinkle in his eyes.
Gu Pan struggled to gesture, "Why don't you come in and chat?"
Chen Shaochen laughed, "Grandma, grandpa, it's a bit late today, and I'm not prepared. I'll pay a formal visit another day."
The old man replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
In the evening, the Song family's "criticism" meeting began.
Grandma told Gu Nian when she came back, "We came back from a walk and saw them kissing downstairs." Grandma smiled, "I think the boy is good, tall and handsome, just like the actors in TV dramas. Said It’s time to formally come home another day.”
Gu Nian said: "After the accident that year, he came to me and asked me to leave the recordings of Panpan talking when I was a child. I knew that these two people would not stop." She sighed, "Time is the best time." test."
Gu Pan was reading a book in the bedroom, Song Huaicheng knocked on the door and came in, his face tensed, serious, "Are you coming back for vacation? Or is it for something else?"
Gu Pan put down the book guiltily, grinned, and stretched out his hand to pull Song Huaicheng to sit down.She gestured, "Dad, you seem to have gained weight recently."
"Don't change the subject. Let me ask you, how long has Chen Shaochen been back?"
"When I graduated."
"It's been almost a month." Song Huaicheng said, "I'll look for you when I come back without making a sound. The city is too deep. Panpan, you are no match for him."
"Dad, this is not a martial arts drama. I don't need to compete with him."
"What I mean is that you can't control him, and your life will be very passive in the future." Song Huaicheng looked worried, "Marriage is a matter of a lifetime, if you make a wrong step, you will suffer for a lifetime."
"I'm not scaremongering, Chen Shaochen is not bad, he is very kind." He could remember the days when his daughter was sad and uncomfortable three years ago.He frowned and said seriously, "My son-in-law can't make my daughter feel bad."
Gu Pan sighed silently, "Dad, he is very nice. What happened three years ago was not his fault, but I insisted on it. It is my greatest blessing to meet him in this life."
Song Huaicheng choked up, "How could it be? My daughter is so good."
Gu Pan smiled, "Father, trust my vision, trust him too."
Song Huaicheng sighed, "I'll think about it again."
After the father and daughter finished talking, Gu Pan took the initiative to report the situation to her boyfriend.
Gu Pan: My father has been depressed recently.
Chen Shaochen: Don't want to see me?
Gu Pan: How about waiting for him to feel better?I coax him first.Men are sometimes naive.
Chen Shaochen: Listen to you, but I want to meet tomorrow.
Gu Pan: I agree.
The next day, Gu Pan went out wearing a blue doll collar dress.
The old man looked at her and said, "This dress is beautiful, like a doll."
Grandma also praised: "The style and color are good, and your mother's vision is getting better and better."
Gu Nian replied: "Aunt Qin, you are mistaken, I didn't buy it."
"Did you choose your boyfriend?" Grandma understood, "Young man has a good eye."
Gu Pan swallowed, "His mother bought the dress."
Her grandma changed the subject, "We look good in anything we wear. Hurry up, don't be late for the appointment."
The old man said: "Seeing Panpan, I think of the time when Niannian fell in love. It was also like this. She was dressed beautifully."
A black line appeared on Gu Pan's forehead, where is she showing off?
Chen Shaochen was waiting for her at the gate of the community.
Gu Pan got into the car, "Where are we going?"
Chen Shaochen replied: "Wedding room."
The frequency of Gu Pan's brain couldn't keep up, she gestured in a daze, "What wedding room?"
Chen Shaochen laughed, "Your and I's wedding room." She looked so cute in a daze.
"When I was studying in the United States, my mother was bored and fixed it. Let's go and have a look first. If we don't like it, we will change it." Chen Shaochen looked down at her.
Gu Pan looked at the flying scenery outside the window, unable to recover for a long time.
At first, she didn't dare to think, dare not love, but when she got to know each other, she vaguely understood the meaning of the word "Gao Pan".
In childhood memories, children of the same age said to her:
Little dumb, don't speak, only ah ah ah.
Tong Yan Wuji, she can't remember who is with whom.
On the first day of high school, when he stood on the rostrum to speak, apart from those eloquent words that could describe him, there was another word that she never told him.
That is unattainable.
But in the end she was brave once, came to T University, and never regretted it in this life.
The "marriage room" is on the eighth floor, and the pronunciation is eight homophonic, so my aunt is quite caring.
The two casually looked around, focusing on the master bedroom. Mother Chen's vision was naturally good. The decoration of the master bedroom was warm and simple yet festive.
Chen Shaochen said: "It's my first time here too. They only told me when I was in City B that I could come and have a look." He smiled, "It's next to the children's room, go and have a look."
The children's room is slightly smaller than the master bedroom, and the design is very childlike, suitable for both male and female babies.
"I'll add things later." Chen Shaochen said, "What do you think? Do you like it?"
Gu Pan compared the painting, "Very beautiful." These are her sincere words.
Chen Shaochen looked at her with her shadow in his eyes, "That's good."
After the tour of the "marriage room", Gu Pan accompanied him to tidy up the study room.Chen Shaochen's things had been moved here earlier, but they hadn't been tidied up.
His books are numerous and cover a wide range of subjects.Gu Pan read while tidying up, and turned to the book from high school, she couldn't help but read it a few more times.
Chen Shaochen turned around and saw her watching with relish, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Pan closed the book, "My high school books were full of notes, why are your books so clean?" She leaned on the bookcase and looked at him with a smile.
"Many things in science are comprehensible, and there is no need to memorize them by rote. What is emphasized in class is the efficiency of listening."
Gu Pan thought that at that time, many people in their class would memorize the teacher as soon as they said it. In fact, what the teacher said was not fully digested at that time, and it would take time to re-learn it after class. "I should have gone to you when I was a freshman in high school."
Chen Shaochen looked at her carefully, with regret on her face.
Gu Pan continued to gesture, "I can be lazy."
Chen Shaochen frowned, "Just looking for me to be lazy?" He approached her, his breath brushing her face.
Gu Pan suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, so he put his elbow on his chest and hurriedly made up for it, "I was only in the first year of high school at that time, and my thoughts were very pure."
Does this mean that he is not pure?
Chen Shaochen bit her lip, "Didn't you always covet my figure? Would you like to see if it is the inverted triangle you were expecting?"
Gu Pan's heart was pounding so nervously that he waved his hands again and again, "Wait a minute."
He couldn't help laughing, "There is evil heart but no courage. Qixi Festival is coming soon, let's go to get the certificate that day."
"Isn't that quick?"
"Hurry up?" Chen Shaochen asked back, "You don't understand that I'm living like a year."
(End of this chapter)
The days are beautiful and peaceful, and every day is full of little happiness, but a text message broke Gu Pan's current life.
Gu Pan, I am your father's friend.Are you wondering why you can't speak?Let's meet to find out why.
One shows the number of city D in province J.
When Chen Shaochen saw the message, his face darkened.
"This number called me once before, but I didn't answer it." Gu Pan explained one by one, "I didn't care at the time."
"When did this happen?"
"May." She paid a little attention because it was the number of city D.
"One phone call and one text message—" he repeated in a low voice, "this person should know your parents, and he has an unusual relationship. Have you ever thought of who it is?"
Gu Pan shook his head, "Could it be my father's business-friend?"
"Do you want to contact your parents?"
She thought for a while, "I haven't been able to speak for so many years, so what if I know the reason? What's more, I'm living a happy life now." Why worry in vain.
She vaguely felt that the truth would not be too good.
Chen Shaochen thought for a moment, "I'll check this number tomorrow, and let me know if he contacts you again."
Gu Pan nodded, as long as she was safe, she didn't want to worry about anything else.
Chen Shaochen found out the owner of that number two days later.Zhou Haohao, a native of D city.She also has another identity, Gu Pan's father's girlfriend who once talked about marriage.
He used Chen's father's connections, so naturally Chen Zhanbei also knew about it.
Xu Chenxi called, "Shao Chen, what are you doing with that person?"
Chen Shaochen didn't want to talk about this with his mother, after all it was about the privacy of his future father-in-law.He played Tai Chi with his mother, "A friend asked me to help."
Xu Chenxi was silent at the other end, "What friend? It just so happens that your friend has a close relationship with Gu Pan's father."
Chen Shaochen coughed dryly.
Xu Chenxi said angrily: "Sure enough, I have a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother. When will I bring Panpan to sit at home, and I will cook a few dishes. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Chen Shaochen smiled comfortably, "Aren't you coming to City B?"
"Come! Of course! The air tickets are booked." After a moment of silence, she added, "Your dad is coming too."
Chen Shaochen rubbed his forehead, "I'll ask her if she has time."
Well, I got Joe too.
On this day, Gu Pan was editing a drawing in a coffee shop.There was someone sitting across from her, a 50-[-]-year-old woman with a familiar face.
Gu Pan couldn't remember where he saw it for a while.
The woman pulled the corner of her mouth lightly, her smile was very weak, but when the corner of her mouth moved, the wrinkles around her eyes also appeared, which were traces of time. "Gu Pan—" The woman wore a black dress, which was a style from a few years ago, but the dress was neatly arranged.
Gu Pan was stunned.
The woman looked at her straight, as if she was looking for something on her body, and it took her a long time before she said, "You and your father have five points alike."
"Are you my father's friend?" Gu Pan asked again.
She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, "Friend? What's more? I almost became his wife once."
Zhou Haohao's eyebrows are full of sadness.
Gu Pan seemed to be punched hard by someone, she had an unbelievable expression on her face.
Zhou Hao clasped his hands together, "It seems that you don't know anything about it. Also, who wants to bring up those unhappy things?"
Gu Pan choked his throat.
"When I first knew about your existence, I also thought that after Huaicheng and I got married, I would take good care of you." Zhou Hao seemed to be recalling.
Gu Pan held the pen, his bones turned white.
Zhou Haohao just narrated the previous stories. She grew up with her father and was a childhood sweetheart. She has always liked him very much.When she mentioned her father, her expression sometimes showed the shyness of a girl, and sometimes it was full of resentment.She was a little confused, but Gu Pan still understood.
"I have been in prison for the crime of intentionally hurting others. The person I hurt was your mother. Your father is also really ruthless, whether it is to me or your mother."
Zhou Hao blinked, "You should know that your parents were once divorced."
Gu Pan bit the corner of her lip, she knew this.
This small gesture betrayed her mind.Zhou Haohao continued: "Your parents haven't been pregnant for several years because your father has been drugging your mother. And you can't speak, which is also caused by those drugs."
Gu Pan's back was sweating for a while, and his face was almost pale.
Zhou Hao picked up his water glass and took a sip of the cold boiled water, "This is a debt. God will always use other ways to get it back. Gu Pan's existence is to repay their debts."
There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures, the cycle of cause and effect, everything in the world is destined.
She can't remember many things when she was a child, and her parents probably deliberately downplayed those memories of her, so they seldom mention them, and those memories of her childhood are becoming more and more blurred.
Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "Why did you tell me this?" The handwriting was a little erratic.
Zhou Haohao looked directly into her eyes, and those familiar eyes made her feel a little dazed, "For so many years, I have lived in the same city as your father, but I have never seen him before. Your family is living a happy and harmonious life. Days, I want to see what happiness looks like."
Song Huaicheng, you are so cruel, your precious daughter doesn't know anything.Are you avoiding me, afraid that I will hurt their mother and daughter?I won't be so stupid anymore, but I won't make you happy either.
When Zhou Haohao was about to leave, she looked back at Gu Pan, who was sitting there slumped.Zhou took out his mobile phone and took a photo, opened the mailbox, edited the email and sent it out.
This is the connection between her and Song Huaicheng that has been delayed for many years.Thinking about it, it's time for her to book a flight back to City D to meet her old friends.
Gu Pan sat there until it was dark, the people around changed wave after wave, and the drawing was not repaired. She picked up the phone and found that the phone was out of battery.
The twilight outside the window has covered the entire sky.
It is said that the memory of a fish is only seven seconds. If possible, she hopes that today she is a fish and forgets all this.
When I got home, I could see the faint lights of my house downstairs.She quickened her pace and opened the door, where Chen Shaochen's shoes were placed.She was looking for him eagerly, and he sat on the sofa, with many emotions flashing through his dull eyes.
In the end, there was only one sentence, "I'm back." Three simple words.
Gu Pan hurried over, her eyes were filled with apology, and she gestured, "The phone is out of battery."
Chen Shaochen kept sending her messages, but there was no news.
Gu Pan's aura at this moment has already weakened to a negative number.
"Where's the phone?" Chen Shaochen asked.
Gu Pan quickly took it out, and Chen Shaochen went to charge it silently.Gu Pan followed behind him, um, he made another mistake.
As soon as the phone was plugged in, she quickly turned it on.
Text messages popped up one after another. She looked at him and gestured, "I met that person."
She thought she would cry, but in the end, she calmly gestured and said, "Don't be angry with me."
Chen Shaochen wasn't angry, it was just that he couldn't find her, the feeling of emptiness scratched his heart bit by bit, "Why did you forget to give me a message?"
Then, he comforted with distress: "It's all over. That man has ulterior motives."
Gu Pan frowned slightly, "I don't intend to tell my father and mother about this either."
Chen Shaochen stroked her long hair, "You can make up your mind, but you must remember to contact me in the future."
Gu Pan nodded again and again, "I know!"
Chen Shaochen smiled helplessly, "Panpan, I'm afraid! I'm afraid you'll leave without saying a word. How many three years can life last? Another three years, and I'll be thirty." He held up his finger Made a gesture.
Gu Pan sighed, like a primary school student who made a mistake, seriously reviewing it.
The next day, the two went to Chen Shaochen's apartment. His parents said they would come over and clean up the house.
The two of them worked together to clean the inside and outside. The bedding was replaced with a freshly washed four-piece suit, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of laundry detergent.
Gu Pan straightened the bed sheets, gestured, "What time does uncle and aunt fly tomorrow?"
Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows, "One o'clock in the afternoon."
Seeing that he didn't mention picking up the plane, Gu Pan bit the bullet and asked, "Should we pick up the plane?"
Chen Shaochen suppressed a smile, "No, it's not the first time I'm here, so I won't get lost."
Gu Pan shook her fingers, "I want to prepare some gifts." She emphasized again, "I need gifts."
Chen Shaochen walked over, "Listen to you, go shopping at night. After a busy day, you go take a shower first, and I'll go downstairs to buy food. What do you want to eat?"
Gu Pan thought for a while, "Roast duck, spicy lotus root slices, corn tortillas."
With doting eyes in his eyes, Chen Shaochen went downstairs.
Gu Pan hurried to take a shower, and after washing, he found that there was not a single towel in the bathroom.At this time, there was a sound of opening and closing the door.
She opened a crack in the door, poked her head out, and put one hand on the edge of the wooden door.When she saw the people in the room, she froze.
Xu Chenxi followed the prestige, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were still for a while.
Gu Pan felt that the heat on her body was getting higher and higher, the drops of water on her face dripped down, and the corners of her mouth opened, how should I explain it?
Xu Chenxi smiled slightly, gentle and kind, "Where are you taking a bath, did you forget your clothes?"
Gu Pan still had a trace of sanity left, she shook her head.
"Is it a towel?"
Gu Pan blushed and nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll look for it for you." Xu Chenxi walked to the balcony with a smile on his lips.
Gu Pan took the thin towel as if it weighed a thousand pounds.She did a full minute of self-comfort before she came out.
Xu Chenxi sat comfortably on the sofa, and when she saw her coming out, she greeted, "Come and sit."
Gu Pan bit the bullet and sat aside.
Xu Chenxi saw that her cheeks were flushed and the corners of her lips were pursed. It's been a long time since she saw her. The little girl looks better than before.
"You guys have kept the house pretty clean." Xu Chenxi said softly.
Gu Pan still couldn't avoid the embarrassment just now. She held a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other, and wrote, "We only came to clean this morning. I didn't know you came today."
Xu Chenxi smiled softly, ouch, these two people don't live here.In that scene just now, she, an old man, was completely delusional.
Xu Chenxi remained calm, "I'm going to clean up the house here first. I didn't expect you and Shaochen to become more and more sensible. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come earlier. Where is Shaochen?"
Gu Pan's palms were sweating, what happened three years ago made her ashamed to face the Chen family."He went shopping for dinner," she wrote.
Xu Chenxi frowned, "Eat less outside food, it's been reported on TV, it's all unhealthy food. Auntie will make it for you tomorrow, what do you want to eat?"
Gu Pan seemed to think that Chen Shaochen said that his mother's cooking skills were average, "Auntie, don't bother."
"It's okay, I'll show you guys tomorrow." Xu Chenxi was afraid that she would be nervous, so he picked some topics that could bring the two of them closer together, "Is the work settled yet?"
Gu Pan wrote: "There is no fix, just draw some cartoons."
Xu Chenxi nodded, "The last time I met your mother, I didn't have a chance to talk to her. When you go back this time, our two families should meet again."
Gu Pan kept thinking in his heart: Chen Shaochen, why haven't you come back yet?I knew I should not eat so much.
Xu Chenxi kept smiling, "Don't be so cautious. I always wanted to have a daughter before, but Shao Chen turned out to be a boy, but I also made money, and a daughter-in-law is a daughter."
Gu Pan only smirked.
When Chen Shaochen opened the door, he saw the shoes at the door, "Mom—"
"I'm back." Xu Chenxi said.
Gu Pan glanced at him, sitting there like a little secretary.Gu Pan wrote on the paper: "Auntie, I'm going to the kitchen to get the dishes."
"Go ahead, treat it as your own home and be casual." Xu Chenxi said kindly.
Gu Pan's eyes twitched.She walked into the kitchen and immediately covered her face, which was really embarrassing.
in the living room.
Chen Shaochen put all the food on the table and asked, "Mom, how long have you been here?"
Xu Chenxi drank a glass of water gracefully, "Not long ago, just came here for a while." She paused, then added slyly, "At that moment, Gu Pan had just finished taking a shower, and I happened to bring her a towel. Sorry Ah, stole your job."
Chen Shaochen finally understood the meaning in Gu Pan's eyes just now, he laughed, that thin-skinned person wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"But if your father knows, he will definitely punish you. It's not a good name." Xu Chenxi said seriously.
Chen Shaochen smiled, "You think too much."
Xu Chenxi raised her eyebrows, "I'm really thinking too much? You've been back for so long." People in their twenties, can you bear being in front of your eyes?
Chen Shaochen shrugged, "No rush."
Xu Chenxi joked, "Aren't you in a hurry? I don't know who is desperately trying to catch up with their studies."
Chen Shaochen stood up, "Mom, where is my dad—"
"There is no problem with your father at all." Xu Chenxi collected his expression, "All the problems are on you, what have we ever done? But, I'm afraid that you should show a good performance to Panpan's father. "
Chen Shaochen nodded, "I know this."
Gu Pan took the bowl and chopsticks slowly, and Chen Shaochen walked in.She gestured to him, "I'm so ashamed! I can't see your mother anymore."
With a smile on his face, he said, "What should I do, my mother is delusional—"
How to do?
Gu Pan was embarrassed.
He smiled, "I should be back soon."
Gu Pan felt that this was what he should say.
"Come back early and hand you the towel." Chen Shaochen continued.
Gu Pan was dissatisfied, she assured that she just wanted to imitate the heroine in the TV series and pat the hero's chest, that's all, but for some reason, it ended up turning into - throwing herself into her arms.
His right hand caressed her face, his eyes were bright, "If you are so proactive, then I won't refuse." He really didn't refuse, he reached out and hugged her, his breath was actually the familiar smell of body wash, a warm breath It also revealed his hidden feelings, "I really want to see my uncle and aunt soon."
There were two knocks on the door.
"You two children come out to eat soon, the porridge is cold." Xu Chenxi said at the door.
The corners of Chen Shaochen's mouth raised, and he calmed down, "Go out to eat." He then combed her hair again.
Gu Pan wanted to hit the wall, but finally bit the bullet and went out to eat.
Xu Chenxi filled three bowls of porridge and put the dishes on a plate.The lamp above the dining table glowed warm orange.
"Sit down and eat."
The three began to eat quietly.
The temperature of the porridge is just right, and with the spicy lotus root slices, the taste is just right.
Xu Chenxi picked up a duck leg and put it on the plate in front of Gu Pan, "Come on, eat more after a busy day."
Just as Gu Pan was about to draw something, Chen Shaochen said, "For this roast duck, I stood in line for half an hour."
"That's what you deserve." Xu Chenxi said, "When I was pregnant with you, your father ran halfway across the city to buy hot and sour noodles for me."
Gu Pan wanted to laugh, although Chen's father was a little serious, but he was really kind to Chen's mother.
"What is Panpan thinking?" Xu Chenxi watched her keep looking at him.
Gu Pan compared the painting: "I think uncle is very good, cold outside and hot inside."
Xu Chenxi looked at Chen Shaochen and waited for him to translate.
Chen Shaochen frowned, "Panpan thinks that old couples and young wives are good."
Xu Chenxi clapped her hands, "That's natural."
Chen Shaochen chuckled, "When we were young, our family went out, and people mistakenly thought you and I were siblings, and regarded Dad as our uncle, have you forgotten?"
Gu Pan looked at Xu Chenxi in a blink of an eye, and saw Mother Chen's expression was a little embarrassed.
"This kid doesn't follow me and his father at all, it's not romantic. Panpan, please be more tolerant." Xu Chenxi pursed the corners of her lips, "Panpan, do you have time to go back with us in a few days?"
Gu Pan blinked, and heard Chen's mother say: "Our two parents will meet formally to settle your matter."
Although she was prepared, she was still very moved when she heard Mother Chen's words.
After dinner, Chen Zhanbei came over.Gu Pan was still a little nervous to see him.
Chen Zhanbei looked at her, "I brought some fruit over here, Shaochen, go and wash it."
Gu Pan and Chen Shaochen went to the kitchen together.Under the warm light, the two stood side by side, and the water was rushing.
Chen Shaochen was washing the fruit, and Gu Pan took his washed fruit.
He tilted his head, "They came this time just to see you."
Gu Pan squeezed the blueberry with a little force on his fingertips.
"Don't worry, my father and mother like you very much." He stared at her, "What are you thinking?" He raised his hand and tapped her eyebrows, making her face wet.
"The past three years seem to have been a long dream. When I woke up, you came back to me, as if you never left." Gu Pan gestured.
Chen Shaochen's voice was soft and low, "I've always been here." He wiped the water off her face with his sleeve.
"Uncle and aunt are very loving." Gu Pan gestured.
Chen Shaochen said with a half-smile, "We will do the same in the future."
She walked in front with a fruit plate, Chen Shaochen took a step behind her, and said in a voice she could hear: "I will do well, at least better than my dad."
Gu Pan paused, looked back at him, and gave him a big smile.
The two came out with fruits, and the four of them sat on the sofa and chatted about homework, enjoying themselves happily.
After nine o'clock, Chen Shaochen sent her back.
Chen Zhanbei and Xu Chenxi were talking.
"Shaochen should feel relieved this time, right? You can get married almost next year."
"I don't know if your son is willing to wait. I think he can't wait to get married tomorrow."
Chen Zhanbei stroked his forehead, "It doesn't matter, as long as the two of you are happy."
"Are you a little disappointed, there is a gap between your imagined daughter-in-law and the reality?"
Chen Zhanbei laughed, "No. Gu Pan is a very good child, she is a good match with Shao Chen." He said firmly, "Kind and upright, excellent in every aspect. In all fairness, Mrs. Chen, when you were young, you were very good at many things. Not as good as your daughter-in-law."
"Huh! Do you regret it? Regret is not enough! There is no return!"
The next day, the sky was clear and the temperature dropped slightly by two degrees.
Gu Pan accompanied Xu Chenxi to the shopping mall, Xu Chenxi pulled her, and in the blink of an eye, both of them had ten bags in their hands.
"Panpan, I've already prepared your mother's gift, and I don't know what your mother likes." Xu Chenxi was distressed.
Gu Pan was torn, she hadn't notified her parents yet, she was really in a state of turning her elbows outward.
Xu Chenxi took her to an underwear store.
The clerk came over and recommended it.
Xu Chenxi picked out a few sets, "Panpan to try."
Surprise flashed across Gu Pan's face.
Xu Chenxi said: "This bright red set is also good. It's good to wear when you get married. It's festive."
Aunt, you are thinking too far.
The clerk smiled, "Your daughter is in good shape, she can try it."
Gu Pan wanted to bow down, but Xu Chenxi glanced at her chest, "Panpan, go try it. It's okay, I'll swipe my card today."
When Gu Pan entered the fitting room, he sent a message to Chen Shaochen: Your mother brought me to the mall to buy a lot of clothes.
Chen Shaochen: Don't be polite to her.
Not this problem!
She typed another line: Your mother brought me to buy underwear.
Chen Shaochen replied: My mother has a good vision.
Gu Pan: ...
The two returned home with a full load.Gu Pan now feels that Mother Chen's mental age is much younger than her mother's. A mother-in-law with a girlish heart seems very cute.
Xu Chenxi wasn't tired at all when she got home, she was very energetic, she muttered, "It's better to be a daughter, you can go shopping with me, and we can help each other choose clothes."
Gu Pan put the clothes he bought for Chen Shaochen into the bedroom, when he heard the conversation from outside.
Xu Chenxi: "Shao Chen, these are Panpan's clothes. A few sets of underwear, don't forget to take them when she leaves later. I can't tell, your wife is in good shape."
Gu Pan's face was on fire.
"Indeed, she cultivated both internally and externally." She heard Chen Shaochen's answer.
Gu Pan didn't want to go out anymore.
This summer, City D was as hot as ever.
Song Huaicheng was working in the study, and was reading the email from the manager, "Hey——who sent this?"
Song Huaicheng's face also became tense, he looked at the sender's name - hao hao, he was shocked instantly, it turned out to be a picture of Panpan.
"Who sent the photo?" Gu Nian's voice trembled.
"Zhou Haohao." They haven't mentioned this name for many years.
The peaceful and peaceful life was finally broken when Zhou Haohao appeared.In these years, they deliberately did not think about the past, and recalled too much unhappiness, so everyone is choosing to forget.
Song Huaicheng is, and so is Gu Nian.
Song Huaicheng said, "I'll go talk to her and see what she's going to do."
Gu Nian's left hand kept rubbing the wrist of his right hand, where there was a scar, bright white, slightly raised.
"Why did she suddenly find Panpan?" she murmured.
"I've already sent her an email, we'll talk about it when we meet." Song Huaicheng was inexplicably agitated.
Gu Nian noticed, "Don't worry too much, if there is anything, Panpan will contact us."
Song Huaicheng scratched his hair, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid she will tell Panpan about the past." It's not that he didn't dare to face it, it's that he didn't want Panpan to be hurt again, and he was willing to bear all the pain by himself.
Zhou Haohao quickly replied to Song Huaicheng, listening to each other's voices through the mobile phone, both of them felt strangely strange.
"Alright, Panpan doesn't know anything, you—don't hurt her." Song Huaicheng didn't lose his temper.
Zhou Haohao sneered, "I just took a picture of her and you are uneasy? You have been forcing me like a flood for so many years, but now you take the initiative to contact me. I am really flattered."
Song Huaicheng frowned, "Where are you?"
"City B. Do you want to come over?" Zhou Haohao's voice was like cold wind.
Song Huaicheng's nerves were tense, "Okay, let's make an appointment to talk."
Zhou Haohao squinted her eyes, at the moment she was in the square, surrounded by strange travelers.She has been in city B for more than two months, and it's time for her to go back.
"In a few days, I'll go back to City D and wait for my contact." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and stood there blankly.
A foreign boy came over, smiled and asked her to take a photo.
Zhou Haohao readily agreed, and the two finally took a photo together.
There are too many passers-by in life, the first half of her life has passed by quietly, is she going to live like this for the second half of her life?
Perhaps this knot in her heart should be untied.
After Song Huaicheng and Gu Nian contacted Gu Pan, they insinuated and found nothing unusual, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Pan told her to go back to City D next week, but he didn't dare to say that he would go home with her boyfriend.
But Song Huaicheng was uneasy, his daughter and Zhou Haohao would come back around the same time, he was afraid that Zhou Haohao would say something to Panpan.
Gu Pan now often goes to Chen Shaochen's company, the atmosphere there is full of vitality.When Chen Shaochen is busy, she paints there.
"Little Bread and Little Oranges" is also about to end.
Little Orange and Little Bread have gone through all kinds of hardships and are finally together happily. So the question is, what should be the baby born by Orange and Bread?
Little Orange?small bread?Could it be Xiao Huihui?
Gu Pan went to ask Tang Qin for his opinion, whether the child is an orange or a bread.
Tang Tan: Didn't you know that you two had one child?
Gu Pan: ...
Tang Tan: How far have you talked?It should be done according to the progress, right?How is it?
Gu Pan: ...
Tang Tan: Does it hurt?Does it feel like in the movie?
Gu Pan: Teacher Tang is a model teacher, how can you be so - wretched?
Tang Tan: Have you forgotten what Teacher Kong said?Food sex also.Oops, Senior Brother Chen's skills should be excellent, come on, tell me?
Gu Pan shut the computer with a snap, it was too much!
As soon as Chen Shaochen opened the door, he saw her like this, "Want to change the notebook?"
Gu Pan blushed and gestured, "Is the meeting over?"
Chen Shaochen sat beside her, "Why are you here?"
Gu Pan gestured, "I told my mother to go back next week. However, I didn't tell them to go back with you."
Chen Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked straight at her, "Well, it's okay." He twisted her hair with his fingertips, and his eyes fell on her smooth forehead.
Gu Pan touched his forehead subconsciously, and asked, "Do you want to cut it back?"
The corner of Chen Shaochen's mouth raised, "No, it's like this—it's very beautiful." Although the word "beautiful" has already been used to compliment people, Gu Pan's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably when he said it.
He was silent for a while and then said, "Have you kept your bangs for three years, have you been waiting for me to come back?"
Gu Pan sighed, "No, save money! Don't you know, now the barber shop starts at 20 for a bangs cut."
Chen Shaochen chuckled, "Don't save me money like this, Mrs. Chen."
Mrs. Chen——
Has your surname been crowned so quickly?
She shifted, twisted again, something loosened from her shoulders - got up to straighten.But someone kept pulling her, "Sit with me for a while, I have a headache."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom." Gu Pan gestured sadly and angrily.
Chen Shaochen looked at her, his eyes fell on her shoulders, and he saw the tape slightly protruding from the neckline of his jacket.
Gu Pan gritted her teeth, "This is a new one, bought by my aunt." She warned herself to be calm and steady.
Chen Shaochen sighed faintly, "There is still an actual gap between visual and manual measurements."
Gu Pan's throat seemed to be choked by something, is his boyfriend also like this?
When Gu Pan went to the lounge next door to tidy up his clothes, Chen Shaochen's voice sounded outside, "Panpan, let me use your computer to send an email."
Well, Gu Pan thought of something in a trance and ran out in a hurry.Wait a moment!
Chen Shaochen was already looking at her computer, and she felt like hitting the wall.
Gu Pan never told him what the comics she is drawing now are about.She walked over step by step, and gently pulled Chen Shaochen's arm.
The computer screen was really her drawing, as well as Tang Tan's nonsense.
She leaned over and stared at the screen. She didn't expect Tang Qin to talk a lot to herself after she closed the computer:
"Brother Chen should have a good figure, right?"
"From my professional point of view, it's an inverted triangle."
"Gu Pan, you earned it."
Gu Pan's slender fingers trembled slightly, gesticulating, "She's been drinking—"
Chen Shaochen smiled slightly, "Speak the truth after drinking. However, I think you should consult me, child of oranges and bread."
Gu Pan twitched the corners of her mouth, she just wanted to stay quietly for a while now.
On the day I returned to City D, it was drizzling and the sky was gloomy.
On the plane, Gu Pan kept thinking, after returning home, how should I tell my parents about my boyfriend?Dad was very angry about what happened back then.
In the dark, the two stood under the crape myrtle tree.
He said, "I'll come back in two days."
Gu Pan nodded.
Chen Shaochen rubbed her hair, "Any other indications?"
Gu Pan looked around, stood on tiptoe just wanting to kiss his cheek, but he turned his face away, lips to lips.
Fortunately, it was raining at this time and there were not many people, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Chen Shaochen put his arms around her and whispered in her ear: "I have taken a long vacation, so I can stay in City D for a long time."
What do you mean?
Gu Pan blinked, and just about to ask him, a voice came from behind him, the voice was full of uncertainty and surprise.
"Panpan—"
Gu Pan only felt a white light flash across his brain, and he turned around stiffly.
Grandpa and grandma are five meters away in front of her. The two old people have very good eyesight. "Panpan is back!"
Gu Pan nodded and gestured, "Grandma, grandpa—" looked at Chen Shaochen, "Grandpa, grandma, this is Chen Shaochen."
Chen Shaochen greeted the two old people politely.
Mr. Gu looked at him, "Chen Shaochen, this name is very familiar."
Gu Pan waved his hand, meaning to go home.
But Mr. Gu thought of it, "Panpan searched through boxes and cabinets to find a piece of paper, and the name was written on that piece of paper. Ouch, I don't have a good memory."
Chen Shaochen glanced at Gu Pan with a twinkle in his eyes.
Gu Pan struggled to gesture, "Why don't you come in and chat?"
Chen Shaochen laughed, "Grandma, grandpa, it's a bit late today, and I'm not prepared. I'll pay a formal visit another day."
The old man replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
In the evening, the Song family's "criticism" meeting began.
Grandma told Gu Nian when she came back, "We came back from a walk and saw them kissing downstairs." Grandma smiled, "I think the boy is good, tall and handsome, just like the actors in TV dramas. Said It’s time to formally come home another day.”
Gu Nian said: "After the accident that year, he came to me and asked me to leave the recordings of Panpan talking when I was a child. I knew that these two people would not stop." She sighed, "Time is the best time." test."
Gu Pan was reading a book in the bedroom, Song Huaicheng knocked on the door and came in, his face tensed, serious, "Are you coming back for vacation? Or is it for something else?"
Gu Pan put down the book guiltily, grinned, and stretched out his hand to pull Song Huaicheng to sit down.She gestured, "Dad, you seem to have gained weight recently."
"Don't change the subject. Let me ask you, how long has Chen Shaochen been back?"
"When I graduated."
"It's been almost a month." Song Huaicheng said, "I'll look for you when I come back without making a sound. The city is too deep. Panpan, you are no match for him."
"Dad, this is not a martial arts drama. I don't need to compete with him."
"What I mean is that you can't control him, and your life will be very passive in the future." Song Huaicheng looked worried, "Marriage is a matter of a lifetime, if you make a wrong step, you will suffer for a lifetime."
"I'm not scaremongering, Chen Shaochen is not bad, he is very kind." He could remember the days when his daughter was sad and uncomfortable three years ago.He frowned and said seriously, "My son-in-law can't make my daughter feel bad."
Gu Pan sighed silently, "Dad, he is very nice. What happened three years ago was not his fault, but I insisted on it. It is my greatest blessing to meet him in this life."
Song Huaicheng choked up, "How could it be? My daughter is so good."
Gu Pan smiled, "Father, trust my vision, trust him too."
Song Huaicheng sighed, "I'll think about it again."
After the father and daughter finished talking, Gu Pan took the initiative to report the situation to her boyfriend.
Gu Pan: My father has been depressed recently.
Chen Shaochen: Don't want to see me?
Gu Pan: How about waiting for him to feel better?I coax him first.Men are sometimes naive.
Chen Shaochen: Listen to you, but I want to meet tomorrow.
Gu Pan: I agree.
The next day, Gu Pan went out wearing a blue doll collar dress.
The old man looked at her and said, "This dress is beautiful, like a doll."
Grandma also praised: "The style and color are good, and your mother's vision is getting better and better."
Gu Nian replied: "Aunt Qin, you are mistaken, I didn't buy it."
"Did you choose your boyfriend?" Grandma understood, "Young man has a good eye."
Gu Pan swallowed, "His mother bought the dress."
Her grandma changed the subject, "We look good in anything we wear. Hurry up, don't be late for the appointment."
The old man said: "Seeing Panpan, I think of the time when Niannian fell in love. It was also like this. She was dressed beautifully."
A black line appeared on Gu Pan's forehead, where is she showing off?
Chen Shaochen was waiting for her at the gate of the community.
Gu Pan got into the car, "Where are we going?"
Chen Shaochen replied: "Wedding room."
The frequency of Gu Pan's brain couldn't keep up, she gestured in a daze, "What wedding room?"
Chen Shaochen laughed, "Your and I's wedding room." She looked so cute in a daze.
"When I was studying in the United States, my mother was bored and fixed it. Let's go and have a look first. If we don't like it, we will change it." Chen Shaochen looked down at her.
Gu Pan looked at the flying scenery outside the window, unable to recover for a long time.
At first, she didn't dare to think, dare not love, but when she got to know each other, she vaguely understood the meaning of the word "Gao Pan".
In childhood memories, children of the same age said to her:
Little dumb, don't speak, only ah ah ah.
Tong Yan Wuji, she can't remember who is with whom.
On the first day of high school, when he stood on the rostrum to speak, apart from those eloquent words that could describe him, there was another word that she never told him.
That is unattainable.
But in the end she was brave once, came to T University, and never regretted it in this life.
The "marriage room" is on the eighth floor, and the pronunciation is eight homophonic, so my aunt is quite caring.
The two casually looked around, focusing on the master bedroom. Mother Chen's vision was naturally good. The decoration of the master bedroom was warm and simple yet festive.
Chen Shaochen said: "It's my first time here too. They only told me when I was in City B that I could come and have a look." He smiled, "It's next to the children's room, go and have a look."
The children's room is slightly smaller than the master bedroom, and the design is very childlike, suitable for both male and female babies.
"I'll add things later." Chen Shaochen said, "What do you think? Do you like it?"
Gu Pan compared the painting, "Very beautiful." These are her sincere words.
Chen Shaochen looked at her with her shadow in his eyes, "That's good."
After the tour of the "marriage room", Gu Pan accompanied him to tidy up the study room.Chen Shaochen's things had been moved here earlier, but they hadn't been tidied up.
His books are numerous and cover a wide range of subjects.Gu Pan read while tidying up, and turned to the book from high school, she couldn't help but read it a few more times.
Chen Shaochen turned around and saw her watching with relish, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Pan closed the book, "My high school books were full of notes, why are your books so clean?" She leaned on the bookcase and looked at him with a smile.
"Many things in science are comprehensible, and there is no need to memorize them by rote. What is emphasized in class is the efficiency of listening."
Gu Pan thought that at that time, many people in their class would memorize the teacher as soon as they said it. In fact, what the teacher said was not fully digested at that time, and it would take time to re-learn it after class. "I should have gone to you when I was a freshman in high school."
Chen Shaochen looked at her carefully, with regret on her face.
Gu Pan continued to gesture, "I can be lazy."
Chen Shaochen frowned, "Just looking for me to be lazy?" He approached her, his breath brushing her face.
Gu Pan suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, so he put his elbow on his chest and hurriedly made up for it, "I was only in the first year of high school at that time, and my thoughts were very pure."
Does this mean that he is not pure?
Chen Shaochen bit her lip, "Didn't you always covet my figure? Would you like to see if it is the inverted triangle you were expecting?"
Gu Pan's heart was pounding so nervously that he waved his hands again and again, "Wait a minute."
He couldn't help laughing, "There is evil heart but no courage. Qixi Festival is coming soon, let's go to get the certificate that day."
"Isn't that quick?"
"Hurry up?" Chen Shaochen asked back, "You don't understand that I'm living like a year."
