Seven years

Chapter 16 The Good-looking Sister

After breakfast the next day, Mu Xue called the nurse to take care of Gu Yan, and said to go out for an hour.Gu Yan said that he didn't need nursing care, he could do it alone, but he couldn't hold back Mu Xue, so he had to let her go.

Mu Xue took a taxi to the nearest building, bought herself a windbreaker and a change of toiletries, and then went upstairs to the men's clothing floor.There are not many people who come to the mall at this point, and even fewer people come to this kind of luxury store.Seeing someone coming, the clerk with exquisite makeup smiled and greeted him. "Hi, is there anything I can do for you?"

Mu Xue smiled and said, "I'll just take a look."

The female clerk followed her and introduced: "These are all newly launched styles. Do you like any of them? Are you giving them to your family or your boyfriend?"

Mu Xue smiled, but didn't answer.Her fingers slid through one piece of clothing after another, and finally stopped on a gray vintage knitted sweater.

"You have a good eye, this is the most popular one this year." The clerk said.

Mu Xue took it out and examined it carefully, then found another blue shirt to match, and said, "Let's pack these two."

"Eh, good."

Mu Xue paid the money, bought some more things, and went back to the hospital.

Gu Yan saw that she came in with big bags and small bags, and asked, "Why do you buy so many?"

Mu Xue put down the bag and said, "Isn't it that I can't go home these days? I just bought a change of clothes and some daily necessities. What do you think of this windbreaker?" She compared it to herself.

The apricot-colored lace-up windbreaker is simple and stylish, "It suits you quite well," Gu Yan said.

Mu Xue was very happy to hear that, she gave him a bag, "This is yours."

"I have it too?" This was beyond his expectation, Gu Yan took it over flatteredly, took out the clothes and looked at them, and was shocked by the brand, "It's too expensive."

"It's okay, I have nothing to repay you, just keep it." Mu Xue said while sorting things out, "I chose the style according to my preference, I don't know if you like it or not?"

"It's pretty." Gu Yan replied without thinking, but he thought it was really pretty.

Mu Xue came over with another small bag, looked at him a few times, blushed again, and stammered, "There's this..."

Gu Yan took it suspiciously. It turned out to be two pairs of underwear. He also felt embarrassed and secretly happy. He was about to speak when Mu Xue beat him to the front, "Don't think about it again! I bought it because I thought you needed it." .”

Gu Yan suppressed a smile and said, "I didn't say anything."

Mu Xue pouted and turned her back to look for something to do, to relieve the momentary embarrassment.What a shame!I really want to find a crack in the ground to drill in.

On this day, the company's French investors came to inspect the headquarters. Li Binghuan and Li Yanzhen accompanied them for a whole morning, and even Li Zeyu, who hadn't shown up for a long time, accompanied them.

The French man likes golf, so he booked the golf course for half a day. Li Binghuan is good at golf, and he likes it very much.Li Yan really doesn't know how to play golf, so she sat with her father under the umbrella and watched them play.Li Zeyu looked at his handsome son on the lawn, and felt a little comforted in his heart.He asked Yan Zhen, "How are your brother and Mu Xue doing recently?"

The noon sun was dazzling, Li Yanzhen wore sunglasses, held a goblet in her hand, took a sip of red wine and said, "How do I know about them?"

Li Zeyu found out that something was wrong with the siblings returning home one after the other since last night. Although they worked together today, they didn't talk to each other, so he asked, "Did you quarrel?"

"Well, I'm not happy with him." Li Yanzhen said bluntly, with a flat expression on her face.

Li Zeyu smiled and said: "It's normal for brothers and sisters to quarrel, it will be fine in two days."

"I don't want to forgive him!" Li Yanzhen looked at her brother's back and said angrily.

"Why are you still acting like a child..." Li Zeyu shook his head, "You are not too young anymore, don't get angry at every turn, it seems that someone needs to punish you."

"Dad, I don't care if you want Sister Mu Xue to be my sister-in-law, but you don't want to interfere with my feelings." Li Yanzhen put down her wine glass, she stood up and said against the light, "I have an appointment with someone else, I have to go first gone."

As he spoke, he walked up to the Frenchman and said a few words, and the man said goodbye to her happily.After leaving the stadium, Li Yanzhen called Mu Xue.

After lunch, Mu Xue saw that the weather was fine, and pushed Gu Yan to the park behind the hospital to bask in the sun.Except for a few patients who also took a walk here, most of the rest are nearby residents. There are young couples dating here, some elderly people take their children to play in tents, and a few college students spread a tablecloth on the lawn. During a picnic, a boy next to him played the guitar and sang.Mu Xue felt that the sun was a bit strong, so she pushed Gu Yan to the shade tree.There is a family next to it, two old people, two adults, and a pair of twin boys.The old man, the woman and one of the quiet boys were sitting on the ground. In order to make the son happy, the mother made a lot of bubbles with the bubble machine in her hand, which made colorful lights in the sun, and another lively son followed Dad learns to play football.Looking at them, Gu Yan and Mu Xue looked at each other and smiled, and because of this smile, Mu Xue suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and Gu Yan also felt as if they were an old married couple.At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Mu Xue couldn't help shivering.This month in Shanghai, people always feel hot in the sun, but cold in the shade. Mu Xue squatted down next to him so that he could see her face, and said, "I forgot to take a blanket when I went out. Are you cold? How about I go back and get it?"

"I'm fine, but you should wear more, don't catch a cold." Gu Yan looked at her and said.

Mu Xue thought for a while, stood up and wanted to go back, "No, I'd better get a blanket."

Gu Yan held her back, "Don't go, it's really fine."

What did Mu Xue want to say, suddenly heard a man shouting at them: "Be careful!" Mu Xue turned her head, and saw a round unknown object flying towards Gu Yan's direction at high speed, Mu Xue had no time to think, and hugged Gu Yan Inflammation, I only felt a sharp pain in my arm, and the object was bounced away.

"Mu Xue!" What happened just now happened too quickly, and Gu Yan finally realized it. He pulled Mu Xue straight in front of him, and seeing her pressing one hand on the other arm, he grabbed her arm and rubbed it while getting angry. Said: "You don't know how to hide when you see the ball flying, are you stupid?!"

Mu Xue didn't speak, her nose was a little sore seeing him anxious.

The man who just told them to be careful ran over, followed by his son. He said very apologetically, "Did you get hurt somewhere? I'm really sorry, it's not important for children to play football..." Then he said to his son, "Quick, go with brother." Sister, say sorry!"

The boy grabbed Mu Xue's clothes and shook his head, and said with his head down, "Sister, I'm sorry..."

Mu Xue knelt down, touched the boy's head, and comforted him with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so young and so strong? Will you sign me when you become a big football star? Well, my sister is really fine, don't Take it to heart, remember not to kick others when you play football next time, not everyone is as gentle as my sister, well, let's play!"

Seeing that she was enduring the pain and joking with the children, the corners of Gu Yan's mouth also rose.

"Hmm..." The boy nodded, stared at Mu Xue with wide eyes, and said seriously, "Sister, you are so pretty!"

The boy's father couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and apologized to Mu Xue several times before leading the child away.

Seeing Mu Xue staring at the backs of his father and son going away for a long time, Gu Yan thought she might be thinking of his own childhood, so he called her name, "Come here and let me have a look."

Mu Xue rubbed her arm and said, "It's okay, it hurt a little when I was kicked, but now I don't feel much."

Gu Yan was no longer reluctant, and at this time Mu Xue's cell phone rang.

"Yanzhen... are you coming here now? All right, we are in the park next to the hospital, you just need to come here... okay, see you later."

"Old man, you clean up the house. I'll see if there's anything else to eat from the noon dishes. I'll fry two more and cook a soup, okay?" Xu Jianping just received a call from Lu Hong, saying to come and see the old man , By the way, grab a meal or something.Since Lu Hong got acquainted with Gu Yan, he often went to his house to eat, and Xu Jianping also regarded him as half of his son.

"Okay, you go cook, I'll clean." Hearing what his wife said, Gu Chengliang, who was watching TV, got up from the sofa and came over with a broom.

After about half an hour, Lu Hong knocked on the door of Gu's house with a big bag.

"Old man, open the door!" Xu Jianping put the last soup on the table and shouted at Gu Chengliang.

Gu Chengliang opened the door, only to hear Lu Hong call: "Uncle Gu!"

"Xiao Lu, it's good that people come. Why do you bring so many things? Come in!" Gu Chengliang brought him a pair of slippers.

Xu Jianping washed her hands, and came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, "Xiao Lu, Auntie just finished cooking, and you just came here!"

"Isn't that right? I came here smelling the smell of food all the way, and I'm so hungry!" Lu Hong knew how to make the elders happy, and he was not afraid of exaggeration. He handed the things he brought to Xu Jianping and said, "Auntie, this is Two days ago, when I was on a business trip, I bought Lu'an Melon Chips for my uncle. And this one. I heard you mentioned that I like this brand of skin care products. skin effect. I don’t know much about cosmetics, and I don’t know how to use them, so you can use them first.”

Xu Jianping accepted it both happily and embarrassingly, "It's costing you again. How much will it cost? Next time you come to eat at home, don't bring any gifts. Both of us old people are embarrassed."

"That's right! We are very happy when you come." Gu Chengliang also said.

Lu Hong waved his hand: "It's okay, don't you often say that I am half the son of the Gu family, it is only natural for a son to be filial to his parents."

"Okay, good son. Come, let's eat first. Today I made your favorite braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs. They won't taste good when they get cold." Xu Jianping beckoned him to sit down at the dinner table.

Lu Hong was not polite either. He took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He praised repeatedly: "Auntie's cooking is the best!"

Xu Jianping looked at his wife cheerfully, "Look at this kid's sweet mouth, if Gu Yan can talk like Xiao Lu, I won't worry about him anymore."

Lu Hong picked up another piece of braised pork, took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "Auntie, in the words of today's young people, Gu Yan and I have different styles. He is calmer than me, and he can rest assured about everything. He often tells us that the food you cook is the most delicious!"

Xu Jianping was very happy to hear that, but she did not forget to ask Lu Hong something today, "Xiao Lu, I want to ask you something."

"Well, Auntie, you ask." Lunch was late, Lu Hong ate a little more anxiously, choked, and quickly filled a bowl of soup to drink.

"Then I'll just say it directly." Xu Jianping coughed softly, "Recently... has Gu Yan gotten closer to any girl?"

Lu Hong was almost choked by the soup. He guessed that the two old people had sensed something, and they didn't know whether the current situation was good or bad for Gu Yan and Mu Xue. Afraid of spoiling their good deeds, he pretended to be stupid and said, "I'm not It's very clear that he's busy recently, and I don't have many opportunities to meet him, so I probably don't have much time to spend on that."

"Really?" Xu Jianping frowned, as if she didn't quite believe it, she muttered to herself: "But, I obviously found a woman's hair on his bed..."

"Ah?!" Lu Hong was surprised, suddenly understood something, and secretly laughed at Gu Yan in his heart, this kid can do it!But he said: "Auntie, did you make a mistake?"

"Look, I've already said it, maybe it's the hair you lost while cleaning." Gu Chengliang, who was silent for a long time, said, and then said to Lu Hong: "Xiao Lu, eat more, your aunt recently If you are suspicious, ignore her."

Xu Jianping patted the old man, and got into the horns again. The more she thought about it, the more uncertain she became. She remembered that she looked at it carefully for a long time, and it was longer than her own hair, maybe...
