Lin Shilang Gu

Gu Yanqiu went to the appointment on time, but Yin Lingxi still arrived earlier than her.

This time, the appointment was for a French restaurant. After Gu Yanqiu sat down, he said straight to the point: "Are you looking for me for something?"

She was also rushing home to coax Lin Yuewei.

Yin Lingxi asked her out for two consecutive days, which was a bit abnormal.

Yin Lingxi didn't answer her question directly, pushed the menu to her, and said, "Order first."

Gu Yanqiu didn't answer, Yin Lingxi tilted her head and looked at her: "Or... Are you in a hurry?"

"No." What else could Gu Yanqiu say, he had to take the menu, ordered beef stew in red wine, a thick soup, and returned the menu.

While waiting for the dishes, Yin Lingxi finally said something valuable to Gu Yanqiu.

"Are you privately investigating your mother's social connections?"

"Yes."

"Can I know why?" Yin Lingxi crossed her fingers, put the back of her hand to her chin, and looked into her eyes.

"No." Gu Yanqiu answered firmly.

"Okay." Yin Lingxi said, "If you can't be honest, why do you want me to tell the truth? It seems a little unfair."

"I can't say anything about family matters."

"Do you mean the He's mother and son in your family?"

"You investigate me?" Gu Yanqiu narrowed his eyes.

"Always have a general understanding." Yin Lingxi raised a smile, which was fleeting, as if she was not really happy, but just smiled for the sake of laughing.

"What else did you find out?"

"It's nothing. The matter of your family was very noisy in Yanning City last year. Just ask someone in the circle and you'll know."

"So what is Miss Yin going to say?" Gu Yanqiu's words were already cold.

"I don't think so." Yin Lingxi lowered his head casually and stirred the coffee cup twice with a small porcelain white spoon, "It's just that I don't like to make decisions without knowing anything. It goes against my principles."

"Then we are destined to be different and not conspiracy?" Gu Yanqiu thought thoughtfully.

"Not necessarily." Yin Lingxi tilted her head and raised her lips slightly.

Gu Yanqiu looked at her with a small smile.

Only they themselves know their private thoughts.

The waiter came up with the dishes, Yin Lingxi slowly sipped the soup and sipped it, as if he had forgotten the topic, and brought up the acquisition case mentioned last night.

Gu Yanqiu chatted with her.

Dissecting the relationship that she now seeks from the other party, the other party is also a good chat partner, with decent conversation, unique insights, and in all fairness, a friend who can try to make deep friendships.

Yin Lingxi noticed that she inadvertently turned her eyes to the mobile phone on the table, stopped the topic in time at the end of the meal, pressed the corner of her mouth with a tissue, and said jokingly, "What? The beautiful woman has an appointment?"

Gu Yanqiu nodded: "My lover is waiting for me at home."

Yin Lingxi said: "Then I did something unkind." After a pause, she said, "I will be leaving Yanning tomorrow, the business here is finished, it will probably take a while for the next visit. "

Gu Yanqiu said calmly, "It's a smooth journey."

Yin Lingxi raised her lips slightly, lifted the coat on the back of the chair, revealing the gift bag hidden inside, she put the gift bag on the table: "I learned about Miss Gu's birthday by chance, congratulations in advance. Xiao Xiao I hope you like it."

Gu Yanqiu took the gift and smiled politely: "Miss Yin has a heart."

Yin Lingxi called the waiter over to settle the bill, got up and said, "I won't disturb you and Mrs. Zun's good night, see you next time."

Gu Yanqiu also stood up with a gift: "I'll give it to you."

The two parted at the door of the restaurant.

***

When Lin Yuewei entered Gu Yanqiu's door, the first thing he saw was the gift bag in the other's hand, his eyes sharpened immediately: "What is this?"

"Gift from Yin Lingxi." Gu Yanqiu specifically did not say the word "birthday", for fear of causing Lin Yuewei's suspicion. And people have this kind of mentality. The more birthday is coming, the more they don't say these two words, and they feel more surprised.

"Why do I give you a gift so well?" Lin Yuewei took the bag from her hand and shook it, "What's inside?"

"I don't know, I haven't dismantled it yet." Gu Yanqiu sat down on the sofa, wrapping his hand around the back of his neck and pressing it gently. After working all day, and then driving out to eat, she was a little tired.

This sentence slightly pleased Lin Yuewei, she pointed to the bag: "Can I take it apart?"

"Okay, take it apart."

Lin Yuewei opened the packaging bag, and inside was a square sapphire blue velvet box. Lin Yuewei shoved the box into Gu Yanqiu's hand and said deliberately, "You come to open it, it seems to pay more attention."

Gu Yanqiu: "No no no, I don't pay attention."

Lin Yue snorted slightly and opened the box.

- Inside is a bracelet.

Gu Yanqiu's heart lifted up first, then sighed clearly. After seeing the bracelet, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not the same style, not even the same color, this one is pink gold.

Lin Yuewei bought her a bracelet and waited to give it to her on her birthday. If this gift was given in advance, it would be bad, fortunately.

Lin Yuewei looked at the bracelet in the box and clicked his tongue heavily, his eyes filled with disgust.

Gu Yanqiu thought she and Yin Lingxi bumped into a gift and was dissatisfied. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yuewei said, "Is it too embarrassing to give it away with just an ordinary bracelet?"

Gu Yanqiu frowned slightly, Lin Yuewei said this... it should be out of anger.

Lin Yuewei turned her head and asked Gu Yanqiu, "Do you like things like bracelets?" If she really liked it, she basically never saw Gu Yanqiu wearing it. She obviously likes wearing Buddha beads, but Yin Lingxi really doesn't even know how to flatter.

Gu Yanqiu actually nodded and said, "I really like it."

She lied, not exactly a lie.

Gu Yanqiu didn't like bracelets before. He had to wear a watch in his left hand and a Buddhist bead in his right hand, so there was no place to wear it. But if Lin Yuewei gave it to her, she would like it now.

This time, it was Lin Yuewei's turn to be surprised: "!!!"

Why haven't I heard her say it before?

The expression on Lin Yuewei's face changed. Gu Yanqiu felt that he didn't speak clearly enough, which might lead to misunderstanding, so he pointed to the bracelet in the box and said, "But I don't like pink gold, I prefer silver."

Lin Yuewei let out a "Oh" in a daze.

It's not what she imagined.

Lin Yuewei thought for a while, and asked Gu Yanqiu again in disbelief, "Do you really like bracelets?"

Gu Yanqiu replied, "I like it, I like silver the most."

Lin Yuewei looked a little dazed.

Lin Yuewei's performance was different from what Gu Yanqiu imagined, as if the bracelet in the drawer at home was not prepared for her. But she didn't doubt it, she just thought: Lin Yuewei is worthy of being an actor, he acts more naturally than her.

Gu Yanqiu put the bracelet from Yin Lingxi, including the gift bag, in the storage room. When passing by that room, he glanced inside inadvertently. The drawer was intact. Tomorrow she still has to get up earlier than Lin Yuewei, lest she find that Schrödinger has pulled open the drawers at home and accidentally leaked stuffing.

At night, Gu Yanqiu fell asleep early, and Lin Yuewei opened his eyes and fell asleep.

She sat up from the bed, carefully observed Gu Yanqiu for a few minutes, made sure she was asleep, then sneaked out of the bedroom door, returned after a long time, sighed silently in the dark, and fell asleep again.

Just a bracelet.

***

Qu Xuesong finally set a time for dinner with Lin Yuewei, which was a few days later than what she had said earlier, but the timing was very good. On March 11th, just in time for Gu Yanqiu's birthday.

It was Monday, Gu Yanqiu went to work, Lin Yuewei didn't even need to find an excuse, and drove out of the house at noon that day. Qu Xuesong, a big star, is recognized wherever he goes, and he lives in a private club with a secluded environment and high prices.

Lin Yuewei arrived first, Qu Xuesong stepped on it, and came in under the guidance of the waiter. When he saw Lin Yuewei, he raised his eyebrows, but his words were not so polite: "Lin Dapai, it's been a long wait."

Lin Yuewei quickly knelt down to her: "Mr. Qu, Sister Qu, please forgive me, I really know I'm wrong."

She cupped her hands, bent at ninety degrees, and bowed to the end.

Qu Xuesong snorted lightly and took his seat.

The waiter wanted to pour tea and water, Lin Yuewei stopped it and said, "I'll come."

She filled Qu Xuesong with tea and said, "The best West Lake Longjing, can you try Sister Qu?"

Qu Xuesong took a sip, returned his mouth, and said lightly, "It's okay."

Lin Yuewei squeezed her shoulders with moderate strength. Qu Xuesong squinted and enjoyed it for a while, but he was too embarrassed to hold it any longer. He cared about something with a child, and the more he lived, the more he went back.

She patted Lin Yuewei's hand on her shoulder: "Okay, don't betray me here, talk about something."

Lin Yuewei: "It's okay, I just invite you to have a meal, and if you have time in the afternoon, I will have a spa treatment."

Qu Xuesong: "No time."

Lin Yuewei: "You see you're here again?"

Qu Xuesong flicked the corner of his jacket and took a sip from the teacup: "I really don't have time. I have an interview tonight, so I have to go ahead."

Lin Yuewei immediately lowered his face: "So busy?"

Qu Xuesong smiled, pointed at her forehead, and released it with a single touch: "Otherwise? You think I'm the same as you? I really took some time out of my busy schedule to come and have a meal with you."

Lin Yuewei: "My pleasure."

Qu Xuesong: "Greasy."

Lin Yuewei: "..."

Okay, so it's not greasy.

Lin Yuewei took out the gift prepared in advance, circled it twice in front of her eyes, and dubbed it by herself: "Dangdangdangdang."

Qu Xuesong: "What is this?"

Lin Yuewei: "I gave it to you, open it and take a look?" She put the gift bag in Qu Xuesong's hand.

Qu Xuesong raised his eyebrows, opened it curiously, then took out the chain and put it on his hand, glared at the light twice, and said, "Yes, it's pretty, you have a little conscience."

The stone in Lin Yuewei's heart fell completely, and he smiled and said, "You just like it."

Qu Xuesong followed her words and evoked an intriguing smile: "I like anything?"

Lin Yuewei didn't dare to answer, and shivered.

Qu Xuesong said to himself, "What if I like you? Is it okay?"

Lin Yuewei cautiously missed a bit: "I'm afraid the person in my family will disagree." She couldn't expose Gu Yanqiu to Qu Xuesong, but she could expose things that she had a partner, and she was 100% sure that Qu Xuesong would not go out and say it. .

Qu Xuesong looked at her expression for a while, and suddenly said with interest: "Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Yuewei hesitated for a moment: "A little bit."

Qu Xuesong laughed: "Okay, I don't like children like you. How many times have I told you, don't be sentimental."

Lin Yuewei: "..."

Is this her self-love? It was obvious that Qu Xuesong always loved to tease her. It would be fine if it was someone else, but it was Qu Xuesong, the one person Gu Yanqiu "cared about" the most. She came out today without the knowledge of Gu Yanqiu, and she was still uneasy.

Qu Xuesong was shocked again, she was about to be scared out of a heart attack.

Lin Yuewei asked boldly, "Then what do you like?"

"I like it..." The figure of Ji Han appeared in Qu Xuesong's mind for the first time. He was mature, intellectual, serious and serious. Under the surface of his decision to kill, there was a gentleness unknown to outsiders. It has been many years, and Qu Xuesong still forgets She couldn't get the other party, even after the other party slandered her in front of her incumbent, the person she subconsciously remembered was her.

Like an inescapable nightmare, day and night.

Qu Xuesong's eyes dimmed for a while, the air pressure around his body decreased, and he raised his eyes to look at her coldly: "It's not like you anyway."

Lin Yuewei understood from the look on her face, she probably remembered her old friend.

Lin Yuewei wanted to ask if it was from Jihan, but her intuition told her that Qu Xuesong and Jihan might have a story, but it was inconvenient for her to speak. Asking the right question will expose people's scars, and asking the wrong question will lead to embarrassment.

Never thought that Qu Xuesong brought up this topic on his own initiative, albeit indirectly.

"Is Shao Yasi your friend?" Qu Xuesong asked casually. She reached out and took a small bowl of soup that the waiter gave her, took a sip, it was a little hot, and put it aside to dry for a while.

"yes."

"What a good friend?" Qu Xuesong took a small mouthful of winter bamboo shoots with chopsticks. The winter bamboo shoots here are very refreshing, with less oil and less salt. The taste of the ingredients themselves has been brought to the extreme. Qu Xuesong used public chopsticks to give Lin Yuewei one. Chopsticks, "You can try it too, it's delicious."

"Thank you." Lin Yuewei paused and answered her question just now, "Very good friend, we both debuted on the same show, so we should be considered best friends."

"That's it." Qu Xuesong lowered his eyes and thought.

She is not someone who likes to meddle in her own business. The last time she reminded her that she was not used to seeing Jihan and deceived the little girl again. Maybe she had some other thoughts at work. Now that she is sure that she is Lin Yuewei's friend, she can't bear to watch it. She jumped into the fire pit.

Qu Xuesong looked up at Lin Yuewei and said, "Ji Han is not someone who deserves to be entrusted for life."

Lin Yuewei was shocked and said: Sure enough.

She pretended to be at a loss and said, "Does Teacher Qu know her well?"

Qu Xuesong was expressionless: "Very familiar." He added, "Once."

Lin Yuewei took the matter to heart: "I will tell you."

Qu Xuesong added: "Don't say I said it, and just tell her, if she is obsessed, you don't have to worry about her."

Lin Yuewei nodded: "I know."

Qu Xuesong gave a light "um" and unintentionally raised the topic.

Later, we started talking about gossip.

Qu Xuesong knew a lot more than Lin Yuewei, so Lin Yuewei asked her the question that was innocently dragged on the hot search a few days ago. Qu Xuesong really knew.

"That heroine offended someone, but the person who offended was not very capable, so she could only use some painless tricks to blackmail her, and it sank in less than a day, and the official was fired subcutaneously. As for you, you're just a little shrimp that was thrown away after you used it up, and it's still you who took advantage of it and gained a wave of the heroine's popularity."

"Then I am the biggest winner?"

"You can say that." The topic became lighter, and Qu Xuesong's brows and eyes were also dyed with a gentle smile, "But you can only be considered a petty profit. When you really become popular one day, you will know what it is. winner."

"Are you the winner?" Lin Yuewei asked her suddenly. A first-line actress, the queen of ratings, the most luxurious endorsement, and won seven or eighty-eight TV drama awards. At the request of a TV drama actor, this should be it.

"no."

For some reason, Qu Xuesong's answer did not surprise Lin Yuewei.

She always felt that Qu Xuesong had a pessimistic aura, and he was not particularly interested in anything. He was a real working machine. They are usually well hidden, bright and beautiful, and they are beautiful, and they will only be revealed when they are in a place where no one is around, or when they talk about more personal topics like this.

"perhaps……"

"Maybe what?"

Lin Yuewei realized that she actually said something, she shook her head and smiled: "It's nothing, maybe when I get to your stage, I will think the same as you. People have more, they will always want to have more, and then march on. Movie time?"

Qu Xuesong smiled and was noncommittal about her remarks.

She knew that was not what she lacked.

Lin Yuewei also knew it wasn't, but she didn't say it.

The two looked at each other tacitly, but neither of them broke it. Some paths have to be made by themselves, while others need fate. Qu Xuesong's career has stabilized. It's not that she never thought of falling in love with someone again, but it's too difficult. If she can't meet her, she simply gives up hope. I couldn't help but go back to find each other.

Finally, Qu Xuesong sent an invitation to Lin Yuewei: "I plan to invest in a drama by myself and play the leading role myself, are you interested?"

"Me?" Lin Yuewei was flattered, and then said sincerely: "Thanks to Teacher Qu's love, but I still have a movie to be filmed in the middle of this year. It is estimated that I will not be free until the end of the year.

"Don't worry, I also have a show at hand, I just set you down in advance."

"How long in advance?"

"Two years." Qu Xuesong touched his chin.

Lin Yuewei: "..."

Qu Xuesong patted her on the shoulder: "You will definitely be popular in two years. When that time comes, many people will grab it. I'll keep my mouth shut first, so that I won't be able to grab it in the future."

Lin Yuewei: "Would you like to record it again?"

Qu Xuesong gestured to touch the phone: "It makes sense."

Lin Yuewei sat upright and Qu Xuesong laughed.

The guests enjoyed the meal. At 3:30 in the afternoon, Qu Xuesong's nanny car drove from the clubhouse. She went directly to the TV station from here. Lin Yuewei also left shortly after she left.

She went back to Lin's house first. Ms. Ran Qingqing couldn't stay in the house when the weather was warm. She ran out to play with her flowers and plants, and the corgi dog ran around in the yard happily.

Lin Yuewei parked the car in the yard, hurriedly called "Mom" to Ran Qingqing who was watering the flowers, and rushed into the house with his head down.

Ran Qingqing looked at her back and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Lin Yuewei was already upstairs, she took two seconds to open the bedroom window, and shouted downstairs, "Yes, hurry up to reincarnate."

Ran Qingqing raised her head: "Are you eating at home at night?"

Lin Yuewei shouted, "Don't eat it."

Ran Qingqing lowered her head and coughed, and Lin Yuewei closed the window.

Lin Yuewei looked at the time on the watch, took the things and left, and left a sentence when he went out: "Mom, I'll be back this weekend, and bring your daughter-in-law with you."

"It's the son-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law!"

"Wait a minute, what are you holding?" Ran Qingqing stopped her. Lin Yuewei, who was empty-handed, went in and came out with a black backpack in his hand.

Lin Yue slightly raised the bag in his hand: "Is this?"

Ran Qingqing: "Yes."

Lin Yue smiled slightly: "I won't tell you, see you on the weekend."

She got into the car, gave Ran Qingqing a kiss, laughed and walked away.

***

At 6:15 p.m. on March 11, the countdown to Gu Yanqiu's birthday was five hours and forty-five minutes.

Gu Yanqiu arrived home on time, and Lin Yuewei was sitting on the sofa at home with Schrodinger beside him, the same as every day before.

"I'm back." Gu Yanqiu spoke in a very low voice.

Lin Yuewei replied to her with a normal volume: "Schrodinger didn't sleep."

Gu Yanqiu was relieved and called out Schrödinger's name. Schrödinger jumped off the sofa, raised his head at her feet and begged for a hug. Gu Yanqiu bent down and picked it up, and asked Lin Yuewei, "What would you like to eat?"

Lin Yue rubbed his eyes slightly, then blinked forcefully, in a very casual tone: "Anything will do, do something simple, I'll be able to eat soon, I'm a little hungry."

"it is good."

Gu Yanqiu put the cat down and went to the refrigerator to get the ingredients. It was originally a simple stir-fry for two dishes. With Lin Yuewei's help, he quickly brought them to the table.

After dinner broke the record, it was only seven o'clock.

The countdown to Gu Yanqiu's birthday is five hours.

After resting for about ten minutes, she went out to walk the cat and went home at eight o'clock. Lin Yuewei went to take a bath first, while Gu Yanqiu hid snacks for Schrödinger downstairs as usual. She listened to the movement upstairs, and there was silence, and she pulled the drawer open. Now, the gift inside is gone.

It was still there last night, but it was taken away today.

Gu Yanqiu rolled his eyes, looked at the empty drawer, bent the corners of his mouth, and closed it again.

At 11:30 in the evening, the countdown to Gu Yanqiu's birthday was thirty minutes.

Lin Yuewei pestered Gu Yanqiu for three hours after taking a shower, and finally fell asleep exhausted.

Gu Yanqiu muted her phone and waited until the early morning with her eyes open. Several messages came in one after another. She clicked on Cheng Guiyuan first:

【Big Kite: Happy Birthday! Great autumn! 】

[Xi Gu: Don't give me nicknames randomly]

[Big Kite: Hahahaha for your birthday, there must be some preferential treatment. I will send you a birthday present to the company tomorrow. Knowing that you are going to live with your partner, I will not bother you]

[Big Kite: Oops, you two have fought hard until now, right? Speaking of the first shot at the age of 26, it is very meaningful. Yeah, you wouldn't be in the ongoing period right now [shy]]

Gu Yanqiu glanced at Lin Yuewei, who was sleeping soundly, and calmly typed back: [She is asleep, your thoughts are purer]

[Big Kite: I'm going to sleep too, I'll say it tomorrow]

【West Look: See you later】

Then Gu Feiquan——

[Gabe: At this special moment, please allow me to say to the special you: Happy Birthday! brotherloveyou! 】

【Xi Gu: Thank you】

[Gabe: Wait for me in the parking lot after get off work tomorrow, I have a gift for you]

[Xi Gu: OK]

【Gabe: Go to bed early, good night】

【Xi Gu: Good night】

Then Gu Huai——

[Baby daughter, happy birthday, the gift for you is handed over by Feiquan]

Gu Yanqiu replied: [Thank you dad]

And Ran Qingqing——

[It's Ran Qingqing not Wen Qingqing: happy birthday, mom loves you]

Gu Yanqiu's eyes suddenly soured.

【Xi Gu: Thank you】

[It's Ran Qingqing, not Wen Qingqing: go to sleep, or you'll get dark circles under your eyes]

[Xi Gu: Got it, I'll go to bed right away, good night]

[It's Ran Qingqing, not Wen Qingqing: I've also slept, and it's not easy to stay up until now, good night, dear boy]

There were also friends from abroad, some of whom actually sent messages to her in time for the jet lag, which Gu Yanqiu did not expect. She's not good at getting close to others, and she doesn't take her friends' feelings too seriously. As time and distance go by, everyone will eventually become strangers, but at least this year, everyone still remembers her.

After replying one by one, Gu Yanqiu, with a satisfied smile, snuggled into Lin Yuewei's arms and fell asleep.

On March 12th, at seven o'clock in the morning, Gu Yanqiu woke up under the urging of the alarm clock, and Lin Yuewei also snorted and woke up leisurely.

Gu Yanqiu looked at Lin Yuewei's eyes, Lin Yuewei touched the corner of his eyes with his fingertips, and wiped off the dirt: "Is there anything else?"

Gu Yanqiu: "...No more."

Does Lin Yuewei have nothing to say to her?

Lin Yuewei stretched, jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Gu Yanqiu followed.

"What do you have for breakfast?" Lin Yuewei asked.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I can. I haven't eaten noodles for a long time. Let's eat noodles."

Gu Yanqiu's eyes moved slightly, looked at her and said, "Noodles?" Is it to make longevity noodles for her?

"Hand-rolled noodles or dried noodles are fine." Lin Yuewei was unaware.

"Come on, are you coming or I'm coming?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yuewei stared at her.

Finally, the noodles made by Lin Yuewei, two bowls, with an egg lying in one bowl, does it taste good? Not bad or bad, you can take it. Gu Yanqiu ate as if it was delicious in the world. After eating, she looked at Lin Yuewei without saying a word.

Lin Yuewei said, "Look at what I'm doing, change clothes to go to work, or you'll be late."

Gu Yanqiu held back for a few seconds, before he stopped talking, and went upstairs to change his clothes.

Lin Yuewei blinked again, a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth, and turned around to clean up the dishes.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Gu Yanqiu went out, Lin Yuewei took her off. Gu Yanqiu stared at her for a long time again, and even couldn't help but spread out his palm and handed it to her. Lin Yuewei held her palm and kissed her.

"Good, go to work."

Gu Yanqiu got into the car and puffed out his cheeks where Lin Yuewei saw.

her bracelet!

***

As soon as Gu Yanqiu entered the company, he was blinded by the handsome guy at the door of the office. Lin Zhi held a large bouquet of roses in his hand and led all the employees in the office, saying in unison, "Mr. Gu, happy birthday!"

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Gu Yanqiu felt a little embarrassed when Lin Zhi brought the flowers up, but he had to accept it in his heart: "Thank you."

She pushed the door into the office, and after a while, Lin Zhi came in with coffee.

"Happy birthday," he said again.

"thanks."

Lin Zhi took out a small packaging box from his wide pocket, clasped his hands in front of him, his head a little bit, as if embarrassed: "A birthday present for you."

"You don't need to spend so much." Gu Yanqiu said that he wanted to push back.

"It doesn't cost anything, just one perfume. It doesn't cost much, and I can't afford anything else." Lin Zhi hurriedly waved his hands, both hands behind his back, for fear that she would return it to him.

"Aren't your girlfriend jealous?" Gu Yanqiu put the perfume next to the computer, which means accepting it.

Lin Zhi smiled honestly and scratched the back of his head: "I reported it to her, otherwise I wouldn't have the courage to recommend the perfume to me."

With Gu Yanqiu's consumption level, don't think about jewelry. Lin Zhi can only buy small items such as lipstick and perfume. Fortunately, such small items are available and relatively cheap, so Lin Zhi's salary is fully covered. Affordable.

"That's good."

"Then I'll go first?" Lin Zhi pointed to the door.

"Well, good work."

"Okay." Lin Zhi Xiaobu jumped back.

Gu Yanqiu opened the perfume, sprayed a little on his wrist, smelled it, the smell was okay, and put it in a satchel.

Cheng Guiyuan's gift also arrived. It was a watch. Gu Yanqiu looked at the new watch for a while, replaced the old one, put it in the box, took a photo of his wrist, and sent it to Cheng Guiyuan.

Cheng Guiyuan was full of praise.

When Gu Yanqiu called home at noon, Lin Yuewei kept sneezing and sneezing on the other end of the phone.

"Have a cold?"

"No, I choked on the pepper."

"Be careful, what did you cook for lunch?"

"Steamed pumpkin...kekeke...green pepper potato shreds, and...kekeke...vegetarian fried beef fillet."

"Are the green peppers at home that spicy?" Gu Yanqiu asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, it's just choking. Do you have anything else to do? If you're okay, hang up first. I have to go to the teacher's class in the afternoon, and it's too late." Lin Yuewei said eagerly.

"...Okay." Gu Yanqiu hung up the phone in despair. At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of ding ding clack from the other side. He wanted to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

Could it be that Lin Yuewei really doesn't remember? The morning face was just a coincidence? She didn't think it was longevity noodles at all, she just made a bowl of noodles.

No, he must be preparing a surprise for himself, the bracelet hasn't been delivered yet.

She comforted herself, so she looked forward to getting off work even more.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, there was still half an hour before she got off work. Gu Yanqiu's work at hand had been completed with her high concentration of attention, but she couldn't leave early, and she didn't want to let her do anything else. Then boredly opened the bridge client on the computer, clicked on the friend list, and Wei Cao was not online.

She matched herself with people, the game was over, and she just stepped on the dot to get off work.

The wind blows out of the office, and Lin Zhi at the door is still stunned. What is that?

Just after getting rid of the torment of working at work, another "blocker" came. Gu Yanqiu stood at the entrance of the elevator going down, looking at the caller ID of Gu Feiquan on the phone, and picked it up: "Hello."

Gu Feiquan: "There are a lot of people in the garage now. Big and small Wu and the others are off work now. If you go later, it will be bad if you are found out."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

After Lin Zhi cleaned up the table, he felt a chill all over his body and looked up, okay, Gu Yanqiu is back again.

Lin Zhi: "Mr. Gu..."

Gu Yanqiu closed the office door.

Tian Rui didn't have the habit of working overtime. Basically, he left work after half an hour. After half an hour, there were not many people left in the whole building. Gu Yanqiu finally went to the underground garage with Gu Feiquan's permission.

As if the two were secretly connected, Gu Yanqiu looked around and sat in the back seat of Gu Feiquan's Big Ben.

Gu Feiquan took out two bags: "The one on the left is mine, and the one on the right is Dad's."

Gu Yanqiu: "Well, I see, I'm leaving." She was about to get off the car when she took it, so she hurried home to see Lin Yuewei.

Gu Feiquan immediately said sadly, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

She couldn't stand Gu Feiquan's pitiful eyes, and went to open the gift. Gu Feiquan couldn't wait to remind her when her hand just touched the bag, "Open mine first, the one on the left."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Gu Feiquan looked at her expectantly: "On the left."

The one on the left was dismantled, Gu Yanqiu took out another box from the box, like a Russian nesting doll, and finally took out one... Gu Yanqiu didn't know what to call it, the base was made of crystal, and a separate golden rooster was embedded in the middle , is made of real pure gold.

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Gu Feiquan: "How is it?"

Gu Yanqiu said against his heart: "...It looks good."

Gu Feiquan: "Really? I think it's too common to send necklaces and bracelets. My golden rooster not only represents your zodiac sign, but also can be placed at home. The golden rooster announces the dawn, and the lucky stars shine brightly. The meaning is also very good. And if you look at this chicken, at first glance it means a normal golden chicken."

Gu Yanqiu: "How about a closer look?"

Gu Feiquan pointed to the inside through the glass, and said proudly: "If you look closely, it's not an ordinary chicken. The eyes are gems, have you seen it? I asked someone to make it specially."

Gu Yanqiu forced a smile: "It's good."

Gu Feiquan looked at her with piercing eyes, with the words "please praise me, praise me" all over his face.

Gu Yanqiu: "I like the gift you gave me. This chicken is the most...special gift I have ever received."

Gu Yanqiu couldn't boast anymore, so he went to dismantle Gu Huai's, Gu Feiquan pressed her wrist through the clothes: "Dad sent you home and dismantle it." Gu Feiquan's face was confident, "Anyway, it's definitely not as good as me. ."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Whatever you say is what it is.

Gu Yanqiu pushed open the car door a crack, and went out to take a look. No one on the left or right was ready to go down. Gu Feiquan said behind her, "Next time we have time to eat together, bring your wife."

Gu Yanqiu: "...Okay."

After a delay in the garage, it was already dark when Gu Yanqiu drove the car out of the parking lot. While waiting for the red light, she glanced at her phone, and since the call at noon hung up, she hadn't heard from Lin Yuewei again.

I usually send her a message after class, isn't it after class today?

The urging car horn came from behind, Gu Yanqiu frowned slightly, and put down the phone with a lot of thought.

Along the way, her mood inexplicably slowly dropped.

When I entered the community, I saw the villa without a trace of light from a distance, and the whole person fell into a trough.

She parked the car in the garage, turned off the engine, and just walked out of the garage door. The phone that had been quiet for an afternoon finally rang, and three big words jumped on the screen: dear.

Gu Yanqiu looked at the dark villa in front of him and had an ominous feeling that he didn't even want to answer the call.

She took a deep breath and picked it up.

"Baby, I was left by the teacher to eat at her house. I'll go back later."

"...Okay." Gu Yanqiu clenched his palms tightly, suppressing the trembling in his voice.

"Why don't you sound right?"

"No, the wind is a bit strong. I just got home and haven't entered the door yet."

"Okay, then wait for me at home, the teacher called me, I'm going to eat."

"Bye." Gu Yanqiu hung up the phone so quickly for the first time.

She stared fixedly at the road illuminated by the street lamps under her feet, and a little ghost slowly appeared in her sight.

It's normal not to remember. The first time we had a birthday together, Lin Yuewei didn't look like a very careful person. He blamed himself for hiding it and not telling her in advance. Maybe she remembers that she just thinks that birthdays are not important, so it's okay, even if it doesn't matter, is it difficult to say "Happy Birthday" without a gift?

She only needs one sentence, four words, and she doesn't need any gifts.

Gu Yanqiu blinked hard, but his vision became more and more blurred, and tears welled up.

She had to raise her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It doesn't matter.

She took a deep breath.

Tell her in advance next year, it really doesn't matter.

She stood in the cold wind for ten minutes, walked forward with her head down, and opened the door of her house blankly.

squeak-click-

She turned and locked the door, taking another deep breath.

Well, that's okay.

The sound of music came from the empty room. It was very light, and it was of poor quality. It was like the very old one I saw when I was a child, and it would spin and bloom.
