Chapter 4 Another appointment (one)

Gu Nuanxin returned to her room, and while washing and humming a song, she was in a very happy mood.

When she went downstairs, she found that Gu Yihuai was already sitting at the dining table for breakfast.

Hearing the movement, he looked up at her, then lowered his eyes to continue reading the newspaper. His expression was very calm, and he had no embarrassment in the morning.

Are newspapers so good every day? Gu Nuan thought

As soon as she sat down, Gu's father smiled and said to her: Last night, Uncle Xu called over and said Zhisen liked you very much and wanted to meet you. Does A Nuan want to go?

Gu Nuanxin lowered her head and raised her eyebrows slightly. I'm afraid that Xu's father liked her very much. Just Xu Zhisen's attitude last night, not to mention annoying, it would give her face.

I'm going to have an appointment. I'm afraid the Xu family used some tricks to Xu Zhishen last night to force him to agree to have an appointment with her again. No wonder Xu Zhishen hated her so much after marriage in the last lifetime.

She secretly glanced at Gu Yihuai opposite him. He was still reading the newspaper expressionlessly, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two on the table.

She curled her lips, raised her smile and asked: Dad, where does Brother Xu want to make an appointment?

Xu's father was very happy to see her coming: I was on the Bund and said I wanted to invite you to the riverside to see the scenery anyway, it was a weekend, and it would be fine if you don't have class.

Gu Nuanxin picked up a piece of pickle and put it in her mouth. She looked up at Gu Yihuai who was outside the matter and smiled and said: Brother, I'll go with me.

Gu Yihuai finally moved his eyes from the newspaper to her face. The smile on her face was extremely dazzling, like the sun breaking through the clouds in winter, which made him lose his mind for a moment.

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: I still have some business to do tonight, so please let Uncle Liu take you there.

Gu Nuanxin pouted and turned to Gu's father with disappointment: Since my brother is not available, I'll better not go anymore.

Seeing this, Gu's father was a little unbearable. He had seen Xu Zhishen's child once. He remembered that he looked like a talented person, with great talent and great literary talent.

Gu's father was also very satisfied with him. Since the Xu family expressed their invitation, they were very satisfied with the warmth of the heart. It would be a pity if they lost the appointment.

Then he advised: It's the same for Uncle Liu to send you there, why bother to your brother to go with you

How can that be the same? I went out alone to meet a man with a girl's house, and I've only seen that person once, how can I feel embarrassed? Gu Nuanxin complained

She glanced at Gu Yihuai inadvertently, and then said: Don't worry too?!

This sentence made Gu’s father a little shaken. After all, he came here from the old days, and he still had some feudal ideas. He felt that this was the reason why Gu Nuanxin said.

No matter how open the society is now, men and women should be wary of it.

Then he turned to Gu Yihuai who was sitting aside and said: If there is no business in a hurry, why not put the work at hand first and go with your sister first

Gu Yihuai lowered his eyes and did not insist: I know, father

Another appointment (two)

Gu Yihuai came back to pick her up as agreed in the evening

He was wearing a dark suit, tall, and every button was tightly tied, with no extra wrinkles on his body, his face was quiet and he looked as if he was ascetic

Gu Nuanxin thought badly when she walked down the stairs: If she went down and took off his coat, would he still have this expression?

She dressed up tonight and tied her long hair that was originally shawl to one side, revealing a piece of slender and white neck, changing into a popular small dress, looking playful and cute.

A pair of exquisite brick and stone earrings hung on the earlobe, swaying along her neck with her movements, flashing from time to time under the lights, making him squint his eyes involuntarily.

Gu Nuanxin walked to him, held his arm, bent his lips and said with a smile: Let's go

A faint fragrance penetrated into his nose with the evening breeze, as if it was magnolia or jasmine... He couldn't tell it clearly, and he stopped and didn't want to move.

He didn't want to take the lovely little girl next to him out to share with others, especially the man who was most likely to become his brother-in-law.

Brother, what's wrong? She looked up at him with a confused look on her face, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly stopped

You wear this way? He asked

Yes, I heard that Brother Xu likes new styles, he should like me like this, right?

His Adam's apple rolled, turned his head and didn't say anything

Xu Zhishen made an appointment with them in a new-style cafe. Xu Zhishen had not arrived yet when the two arrived.

Gu Nuanxin took Gu Yihuai to find a seat and sat down. He waved to the waiter to order the order. She ordered a cup of bitter coffee for Gu Yihuai, but she ordered a cake.

There are many newly built British buildings by the river, all built for foreigners in the concession.

Looking from the cafe, you can see boats unloading goods at the dock by the river in the distance. Many ragged workers lined up to carry the goods from the ship.

Gu Nuanxin turned her head and looked at Gu Yihuai sitting opposite her. He just asked the waiter for a newspaper, drinking coffee while reading the newspaper.

She curled her lips: Is the newspaper a fig leaf for him? Why didn’t she noticed that he had such a hobby in his previous life?

Brother She shaves his back with her nails

He looked up at her from the back of the newspaper

Do you remember when we were young, we often came here? She pointed to the riverside and asked him to see

I will never forget his intentions

Of course he remembers

When she was a child, she liked him to accompany her for a walk here, and she was cheating on him and asked him to carry him on her back after walking halfway.

The little man hummed and directed him on his back. When he got home, he found that everyone was asleep and he was drooling.

Gu Nuanxin is now shameless, but she still can't help but be red when he sees her face and pulls her lips, and smiles awkwardly: Can you stop remembering my drooling look?

She looked so much like the shy and timid little girl in his memory. He couldn't help but curl her lips.

Sorry, I'm late. A sudden male voice broke the warmth of the room

It doesn't matter, Brother Xu, sit down quickly. Gu Nuanxin smiled on her face, but she felt very regretful. She wished that Xu Zhishen wouldn't come all night.

Xu Zhishen glanced at her, and a stunning flashed in his eyes. Why didn’t he find this girl look good yesterday?

Another appointment (three)

He sat down next to Gu Nuanxin and ordered a cup of bitter coffee. The school was delayed, so he came late. He explained that he was late.

Gu Nuanxin actually didn't care why he came late. Instead, his arrival made her even more surprised. Shouldn't he avoid it?

Actually, Xu Zhishen didn't want to come, but he thought that Xu's father would definitely be on the phone with Gu's father in the evening, and when he got home, he would be scolded again.

Why bother? Anyway, I won’t have a small piece of meat for a few days of peace of life. Xu Zhishen also thinks it’s quite cost-effective

I don't expect this girl to look much brighter today. Although she still looks childish, after dressing up, you can still see that her future color is not like the old-fashioned student appearance yesterday.

It doesn't matter. Gu Nuanxin curled her lips and put the candy jar to his hand

Xu Zhishen looked at her in surprise, thank you

He picked up a candy from the jar and put it in the cup, stirring it gently for two rounds.

Gu Nuanxin supported her chin with one hand, turned her head to look at him and smiled, like a silly girl who met her idol.

A clamor made the two of them attract their attention.

I'll go smoke a cigarette, you guys talk. Gu Yihuai put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and left the cafe.

He walked to the car, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat and turned out a box of cigars from the car, took out one and held it in his mouth, and a match was shining with a sound.

Just as I was about to get to my mouth, I suddenly remembered something, waved the match in my hand and threw the extinguished match rod outside the car

She doesn't like him smoking, especially in the car

He turned his head and looked through the side window. He could see the cafe not far away. They were sitting by the window, approaching very close. I don’t know what they were talking about. Gu Nuanxin smiled from ear to ear, looking very happy.

Gu Yihuai felt more and more upset. He got out of the car with a cigar in his mouth and slammed the door.

He leaned against the door, looked at the dark sky with his head halfway up, and lit the cigar.

He laughed at himself.

Will she care?

His eyes were pitch black in the darkness, and only the flashing light of light and darkness reflected the haze on his face from time to time...

Do you like poetry? Xu Zhishen asked

Like it. Gu Nuanxin's thoughts are almost gone. She saw him walking towards the parking spot.

He won't want to leave her and go back, right?

So which faction do you like? Xu Zhishen is very interested in this topic

...Li Bai's, Du Fu's, are all OK, she replied randomly

She saw Gu Yihuai getting in the car, but she didn't know what he was doing in the car

I mean new modern poetry. Xu Zhishen is a little unhappy.

Oh...I made a mistake. She smiled, but didn't feel embarrassed: It's all... OK, I don't know much about poetry.

This is the truth. Some people really don’t have talent in some aspects, just like her and poetry

Of course she knew that Xu Zhishen loved literature. She also worked hard in this area in her previous life, but if she had no talent, she would not have talent. If she worked hard the day after tomorrow, she would not be able to write a good poem.

Xu Zhishen's face changed a lot

Then what books do you usually read? He asked

Well...Four Books and Five Classics... She looked out the window

He smoked, and she saw the bright spot in the darkness, not knowing whether she should be happy or sad about it.

Gu Nuanxin's answer was like a fuse, igniting Xu Zhisen's anger

Are you still reading the Four Books and Five Classics? What era is it now? It's so stupid. Local buns are local buns, and they won't change because of changes in appearance! Xu Zhishen said in his heart that he was despised.

Gu Nuanxin's thoughts were finally pulled back by him. Seeing his angry face, Gu Nuanxin smiled

Yes, that's what she wants
