Son Mom Will Back You - Chapter 73
Chapter 73 Exposure (2)
The emergence of this unexpected episode of Josie turned the originally romantic and elegant western food into a very hot pot-style dinner for six.
But different from the lively hot pot dinner, because the table is composed of very cross-circle dinner members, coupled with different reasons, the atmosphere on the table is very embarrassing and subtle, and it once entered the freezing point.
At the end of the lunch, Jiang Xiaoqing, Qin Yuanyuan and the female companion brought by Josie finally came to the end of this indigestion “torture”
The three of them looked for reasons why they didn’t care too much, and quickly disappeared.
Josie also wanted to take the opportunity to run, and smiled at Gu Nian with an awkward and polite smile: “Miss Gu, I have something to do this afternoon, so I won’t disturb you and Luo Xiu…Mr. Luo, talk slowly.”
“Mr. Joe, don’t worry,” Gu Nian opened her mouth and pressed at the end of Josie’s words, without giving him a chance to leave directly, “As you and me, I just wanted to find a rental house, and you have something to go to Europe to live in. The house is looking for the fate of the tenant. I should toast Mr. Joe a glass of wine.”
“…”
At the raised red wine glass and the girl behind the glass with a cool smile, Josie had to sit back with her upper body.
He smiled stiffly and raised his glass: “Miss Gu is polite.”
So the six-person dinner has become a tripartite meeting.
He left Josie with a polite remark, and Gu Nian circulated a few words outside without pain, and then went straight to the destination: “Since Mr. Joe has returned to China, I can’t occupy your villa. I will move out as soon as possible in two days.”
Even if Gu Nian was tentatively guessing, Josie couldn’t really let her move out. He didn’t dare to look at Luo Xiu, so he could only bite the bullet and smile: “Miss Gu, don’t worry, I’m going back this time, just because I have something to do. I have to go back. Even though Miss Gu lives in the house, I will tell Miss Gu in advance when I officially come back.”
Gu Nian seemed to believe: “Really in a hurry?”
“No hurry, no hurry.”
Gu Nian: “Thank you very much, Mr. Joe, for helping me so much.”
“Miss Gu, you are welcome, you should, you should.” Josie was so guilty that she wanted to wipe sweat.
Gu Nian had a meal, then raised his head and smiled: “Mr. Qiao and I have only been on a blind date once, how could it be?”
“…” Josie choked.
Josie almost wanted to cast a glance at Luo Xiu for help, but fortunately, the reason came back quickly, abruptly helping him to curb this silly mistake under Gu Nian’s eyelids.
Unfortunately, Gu Nian did not end the “interrogation” plan.
Putting the red wine glass back on the table, Gu Nian paused, and asked casually and harmlessly, “Do you know Mr. Joe and my boyfriend?”
Joe’s suit is silly: “Boyfriend? Miss Gu has a boyfriend?”
Gu Nian: “…”
In the past, she thought that the best acting skills were nothing more than those actresses who watched the emperor. Now she found that she was too young and superficial before.
The real acting skills are so distinct that it should be like a certain evil dragon, capable of moistening things and radiating silently and affecting his employees and friends.
Gu Nian turned around and looked at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu was tossing his piece of dessert with a knife and fork when he was out of business.
Under the lenses of the gold chain glasses, the eyes are warm, and the thin lips are smiling, calm and calm. Gu Nianshen felt that Zhuge Liang had this mentality when he played the piano and played that emptiness.
And here, Josie, who was finally able to look at Luo Xiu logically, did not let go of the opportunity, and suddenly realized: “Is Miss Gu’s boyfriend actually Mr. Luo?”
Gu Nian looked back and cooperated with him in the next stage: “Well, how did Mr. Qiao meet my boyfriend?”
Josie tried very hard to communicate with Luo Xiu, but it was a pity that the man didn’t raise his eyes at all and ignored him.
Josie could only swear nonsense on her own while scolding in her heart: “I knew Mr. Luo before, a star. I happened to like Mr. Luo’s acting and works very much. Then by chance, I was in a scene with Mr. Luo. I met once at the reception, and I met, um.”
Josie consciously made it up perfectly, and even proudly wanted to wait for Luo Xiu’s secret praise.
It’s a pity that he glanced at him proudly, and slammed into his ear with a dumb smile.
“No need to cover up with Niannian,” Luo Xiu stopped the knife and fork and raised his eyes, “I have already told her about the Luo family.”
Josie: “…”
Josie: “???”
Luo Xiu didn’t go to see Josie’s expression of “Am I betrayed like this?” He turned his side slightly, his eyes turned to Gu Nian, and he was still gentle and smiling: “Just ask me directly. . Haven’t I promised that I will never lie to you again?”
Gu Nian repeated silently several times, “Don’t be fooled by beauty”, and then squeezed her face to look at him with difficulty: “Ask you what?”
Luo Xiu: “Anything, as long as you want to know, I won’t have a word to hide.”
Gu Nian continued to strain her face: “Okay, then tell me, is the villa we live in now yours?”
Luo Xiu didn’t hesitate: “Well. I don’t worry about you living in the original place alone, please ask Josie to send a message to your friend alone, pretending to be a group, and then rent the villa to you through them.”
Gu Nian: “…”
When Luo Xiu remembered something, he added warmly: “Later on the scene of the “Broken” easter egg re-recording, I also deliberately brought my suitcase and tricked you into taking me in.”
Gu Nian: “…”
Because the “interrogated person” was too frank, he not only admitted the crime, but also explained the causes and consequences with the combined case, so Gu Nian didn’t even know how to answer the call.
On the other side of the table, Josie heard the part of the follow-up results he didn’t know, and the look in Luo Xiu’s eyes was full of a complex emotion of “how can you be such a beast” and admiration and accusation.
After a long while, Gu Nian finally recovered and sighed slowly: “I thought I was playing with you last time when I said Thirty-Six Strategies, but I still underestimated you.”
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes: “I’m sorry, Nian Nian. At that time, I just wanted to be by your side as soon as possible and have the qualifications to stand in front of you.”
Gu Nian was silent.
Luo Xiu sighed lightly: “I know you will be angry, you can punish me, anything is fine, but don’t ignore me, okay.”
“I didn’t…ignore you.” Gu Nian found that even if she knew how good Luo Xiu was at disguising his true emotions and how good at using it to make people’s minds, she still didn’t listen to his sadness the most, even if it was only hidden in her tone. A little bit low.
Gu Nian frowned slightly, lowered her head and sighed in despair at her attribute, and then she felt her hand caught by the person next to her and held it up.
Gu Nian raised her eyes and saw Luo Xiu lightly kissed the back of her finger: “Then don’t get angry. You can punish me any other way.”
Gu Nian just wanted to say something, suddenly remembered, and looked back across the table
Josie was choking on her face.
Luo Xiu noticed that Gu Nian turned away, and followed her gaze.
Josie was silent for a few seconds: “How about I go and lie under the table for a while, and I will come up again when you are better?”
Gu Nian: “…”
Gu Nian blushed, but Luo Xiu didn’t care. He smiled as usual, only his eyes faded a little after turning to Josie: “Aren’t you still doing something this afternoon?”
Josie: “Huh? What’s the matter with me?”
Luo Xiu looked at him gently and silently.
After a few seconds, Josie understood. He grinned his teeth and glared at the ignorant dog man, and stood up on the table: “Yes, I do have something to do. I won’t bother you. Miss Gu, we will see you another day.”
Luo Xiu said in a warm voice: “After all, it’s an ex-blind date. It’s better not to see your female partner so that you are not jealous.”
Josie paused as if tripped on something and turned her head back: “It’s okay, my female partner is generally not so jealous.”
Luo Xiu didn’t seem to hear it at all, and calmly turned back and continued to say something with Gu Nian.
Josie left with bitterness.
?
From the Xingyue Hotel, Luo Xiu and Gu Nian walked down the porch. The people from the concierge went to pick up the car and asked them to wait outside the lobby.
Nearly November, the weather has already cooled down, and this afternoon it has cooled down, the style is cold outside. When Luo Xiu arrived, he brought a long coat that was worn over his suit. At this time, he picked it up from his arms and put it on Gu Nian.
Gu Nian was looking at the car driving down the porch, her shoulders sank before she recovered. She raised her eyes from her shoulders: “I’m not cold, yourself…”
Without finishing the vague words through the mask, the white baseball cap she wore on top of her head was clasped by Luo Xiu’s slender knuckles and gently pressed down.
The voice above the head was suppressed, and it was gentle and soft: “Observe.”
“…”
Provoked by this voice, the little man in Gu Nian’s heart raised the small white flag in a second, and surrendered in place with red ears.
Just as Luo Xiu was about to turn around, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of some reflection from the side, and his figure stopped suddenly. A second or two later, Luo Xiu turned back.
Gu Nian was startled, and looked up blankly at the person who suddenly blocked him: “What’s wrong?”
“It’s okay,” Luo Xiu raised his hand and gently hooked the girl’s soft and long hair behind his ears, “the hair is loose.”
Gu Nian raised his hand and touched it: “Cover, it should be pushed away by the hat.”
“It doesn’t matter, go home and organize it.”
“it is good.”
The parking concierge parked the car in front of the two of them and handed the key to Luo Xiu after getting out of the driver’s seat. Without letting him intervene, Luo Xiu personally opened the door to protect Gu Nian in the car.
When the front passenger’s door was closed, the gentle smile under his eyes faded, and his eyes lifted coldly.
In the parking area where the line of sight fell, a black shadow swept behind the parked car like an illusion.
“…”
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes, walked around the body calmly, and got into the driver’s seat.
About an hour later, Luo Xiu sent Gu Nian back to the villa.
In the hallway, Gu Nian just stepped into the pair of rabbit-eared slippers, ready to tiptoe to put the bag in the hallway cabinet, when Luo Xiu asked with a smile, “Are you thinking about punishment?”
“Punishment?” When Gu Nian turned around, she remembered what Luo Xiu was talking about. She hesitated for a second or two, “Just punish you, and accompany me to the attic to see the stars tonight!”
Luo Xiu had a meal. After a while, he lowered his eyes, smiling and sighing, “You will be very bullied like this.”
Gu Nian was ready to go out, and turned back unconvinced after hearing this: “You can ask the crew of “There are demons”, how can I be bullied.”
Luo Xiu smiled lightly: “Then let me go so easily?”
Gu Nian thought for a while, nodded, her eyes were tired and playful: “Then just bully you.”
“”
Luo Xiu was startled.
Unconsciously, Gu Nian flicked the bunny ears on the slippers and went into the house cheery.
When he recovered, Luo Xiu laughed helplessly and shook his head. Putting on those gray fox-head slippers, he followed into the living room.
“I’ll go upstairs to take a shower first.” Gu Nian’s voice came back from the stairs.
“Ok.”
“…Oh, that’s right.” On the stairs with no figures, holding the handle at the corner, a head lying down shook out, “You seem to have an express delivery today? I’ll let it go. It’s on the locker in the living room. It’s not removed. It should be a box, which is quite large, but not heavy.”
Luo Xiu walked to the locker and saw the small cardboard box placed on it at a glance. His gaze eased, and his smile softened. “It’s a gift I have received.”
“gift?”
“Yes, it is also the most precious gift I have ever received.”
“…Hey, then I’m even more curious. Can I watch it after I take a shower later?”
“of course.”
“Then wait for me, I’ll finish the wash soon and take a look!”
“…”
The sound of the little girl clacking upstairs stepping on her slippers slowly faded away. Luo Xiu stood in front of the locker and looked at the box for a long time.
Then he took the box in both hands and brought it back to the middle of the living room.
Using the thinnest blade to pull the tape along the sealing box a little bit, Luo Xiu’s movements were slow and winged, as if it contained precious objects that would shatter with a single rub.
When the box was finally opened, the contents inside were exposed with a thin layer of dustproof paper.
Luo Xiu lifted the dustproof paper from the corner.
A brown, soft and serious hand-knitted long scarf, lying quietly in the box.
In the 1.0 version of “The Diary of Raising Goose on Blind Branches”, the scarf that Gu Nian mentioned took three months to learn and successfully knit.
It’s just that when he received those gifts that would be sent every month, he didn’t check any of them, so he didn’t even open the box. Fortunately, he kept it in the warehouse under the name of his former agent.
Fortunately, he was found back.
Although she wanted to wait for Gu Nian to come down and let her see it at first sight, Luo Xiu couldn’t help reaching out and picking up the scarf from the box.
The texture of the hand is as soft as he imagined. Every stitch and every thread is the result of his little girl who has carefully studied it over and over again according to the tutorial…
Luo Xiu held up the scarf, and before doing anything, a card suddenly fell from the unfolded scarf.
Luo Xiu was a little surprised, bending over to pick up the card.
It is about a scenic postcard, and the front is an evening sea.
The sun was about to fall at the end of the sea level, the sky was half dim, the sunset was about to end, and the last afterglow was reflected on the sea, shaking with sparkling light.
Luo Xiu reversed the card, and on the back of the smooth and white postcard, only a few lines of beautiful characters were written in a black signature pen.
[“Is the setting sun checkmate?”]
[“No. It is rebirth.”]
[2018.7.31]
[The setting sun will go down, thank you for being the light for the rest of my life. ]
Luo Xiu looked at that time and the two dialogues that he had experienced personally. He frowned and thought, and at a certain second, Luo Xiu’s figure froze suddenly.
The sunset and evening breeze buried deep in his memory, finally brought a memory he had forgotten, together with this long-overdue scarf, knocked on his heart this evening.
