Chapter 115 She seems to like me
After Gu Xu wrote the wish, he carefully tied it to the branch with a red rope.
Then he turned around, smiled at Shi Xiaohan and said: "I've finished writing, you can open your eyes."
Shi Xiaohan immediately put down his hands covering his eyes: "You write What?”
Gu Xu shrugged: “If you don’t tell me, why should I tell you?”
Shi Xiaohan snorted and stopped talking.
Accidentally, I was taken advantage of by this cunning guy.
It's a pity that the bitter fruit I sow has to be swallowed with tears in my eyes.
…………
Then the two came to the river quietly.
What catches the eye are ripples glowing with golden light, schools of playful and swimming fish, and fishermen fishing in small boats.
“It’s so beautiful.” Gu Xu sighed silently.
His life has always been in a hurry.
It is rare to have the opportunity to stop and appreciate the scenery around you like today.
At this moment, a feather shuttlecock flew from behind and landed beside them.
They both turned around and saw several children playing by the river.
"Big brother, big sister, can you return the shuttlecock to us?" One of the children pointed to the shuttlecock on the ground and said to the two of them with some restraint.
Gu Xu was about to use Zhen Yuan to pick up the shuttlecock.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaohan stepped forward, lifted one end of the shuttlecock to the instep, and using the arch of his foot, he nimbly kicked the shuttlecock up from the ground, and accurately kicked it to the children.
"Big sister is so awesome!" Seeing such a scene, the children all opened their eyes wide, obviously not expecting that there was a master hidden among the passersby.
"Of course I'm awesome!" Shi Xiaohan raised his chin proudly.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but join the children and pass the feather shuttlecock around with them.
Accompanied by her bursts of laughter like silver bells, the shuttlecock was like a bird holding her feet, dancing beside her exquisite embroidered shoes.
Gu Xu stood aside with a smile on his face, watching quietly without stepping forward to disturb.
Although it is a cold late autumn at this time.
But she seemed to be in the spring scenery, in the unique spring scenery.
…………
On this day, the two of them wandered aimlessly in the suburbs of Yishui County until the sun set.
It was not until after dinner at a street restaurant that Shi Xiaohan said goodbye to Gu Xu and returned to his home alone.
The maid Chenxi hurried over to greet him.
She first took off her lady's greasy robe and put on clean clothes.
Then he sat her down at the dressing table and removed the hairpin from her head.
"Miss looks very happy today," Chen Xi said with a smile while gently combing her long black hair that hung down to her waist, "I went with that Mr. Gu again. Did you do the mission?”
“No,” Shi Xiaohan denied, “I went to Caishi Street with Gu Xu for a barbecue, and then went for a walk by the Yi River.
” I really didn’t expect that Gu Xu, that stingy guy, would take the initiative to pay for a treat today for the first time! ”
Chen Xi smiled but did not respond immediately.
After straightening her hair, Chen Xi brought a basin of hot water and placed it next to the chair.
Shi Xiaohan immediately took off his embroidered shoes, put his white feet into the hot water, and hummed in comfort.
The girl's feet are not big, but the proportions are just right. They look slender and cute, like finely carved porcelain.
While soaking her feet, she gently stirred the water with her toes, causing ripples to appear.
And the corners of her mouth raised slightly inadvertently, revealing shallow dimples, looking like a silly child immersed in self-amusement.
"Chenxi, that guy Gu Xu is really annoying!" The girl paused for a moment, then continued, "Last night I quietly sneaked into the Lu family's haunted house without telling me in advance! With his behavior With his fragile body, if he is accidentally approached by a ghost and loses his life, there will be no one to help him collect his body!
"Humph, apart from being good-looking, being smart, and practicing cultivation! A little more talented... he's just a complete asshole! "
Hearing her words, Chen Xi finally couldn't help laughing. "Chen Xi, what are you laughing at? "Shi Xiaohan glanced at her suspiciously, "Did I just say something funny? ”
"Young lady is always like this. She never leaves Sir Gu for more than three words." Chen Xi replied with a chuckle.
"No! Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Xiaohan stamped his feet violently, and the water in the wooden basin splashed high.
At this moment, Chen Xi was very fortunate that Shi Xiaohan's father, Shi Lei, was still far away in Laizhou Mansion and did not hear his daughter's words.
Otherwise, Mr. Qianhu, who has always regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, will rush out of the house with a sword in hand to see which pig wants to take away his cabbage.
…………
late at night.
The stars in the sky dimmed and the lights on the ground went out.
Yishui County has long fallen asleep in silence.
Chen Jisheng finally finished his day's work, holding a lantern and preparing to rest in the duty room behind the Yamen.
But at this moment, under the dim light of the lantern, he saw a familiar figure, sitting alone on the steps of the Yamen, motionless like a sculpture.
"Gu Xu?" He called the man's name, "Why are you sitting here alone?"
According to Gu Xu's past habits, he should be practicing diligently at home alone in the middle of the night.
Gu Xu’s abnormal behavior today surprised Chen Jisheng.
"Master Chen, I encountered something troublesome today." Hearing his voice, Gu Xu turned his head and smiled at him.
“Are you worried?”
As Chen Jisheng spoke, he straightened his robe and sat next to Gu Xu.
He has always felt that Gu Xu's mind is very mature and does not look like a seventeen-year-old boy at all - he can always come up with various means to solve problems that stand in front of him with ease. All questions.
I didn’t expect that he would be troubled sometimes.
"Mr. Chen, you should know that my life pace has always been very fast, running forward non-stop almost every minute," Gu Xu said calmly, "Today, I earned five After a thousand meritorious deeds, I was in a good mood, so I rewarded myself with a day of relaxation - slowing down my pace a little and taking a look at the scenery around me.
"So I found that I missed a lot in the process of running hard. something.
“I have never paid attention to the beautiful scenery of Yihe River in autumn, never heard the fishermen singing loudly on the river, never indulged in barbecue on the street, never played and played shuttlecock with my peers...
< br>"The most important thing is that I never noticed..."
At this point, Gu Xu suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said the next few words:< br>
“She seems to like me. ”
Hearing this, Chen Jisheng couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
"Silly boy, you didn't realize it until now?"
Chen Jisheng often pays attention to Gu Xu's work and life, so he naturally knows who the "she" in his words refers to.
That girl Shi Xiaohan, whenever she sees Gu Xu, her apricot-like eyes will sparkle, as bright and moving as the stars on a summer night.
Gu Xu said nothing.
Logically speaking, with his mind far beyond that of his peers, he should have discovered the girl's little thoughts long ago.
It's a pity that as a virgin in two lifetimes, although he has rich theoretical knowledge in his mind, when he actually encounters this kind of thing, he is as slow as an ignorant boy.
"The key to the question now is, what do you think?" Chen Jisheng asked.
Gu Xu remained silent.
His thoughts followed his eyes, drifting past the houses in front, across the streets and alleys of Yishui, across the wide Yi River, past the distant ruins of Laoshan Mountain and Luojing City, and toward the vastness. The horizon.
The road is too long.
He couldn't see the end at all.
Finally, he sighed softly, with a bitter smile on his face:
“I don’t dare to be tempted.”
Thanks to the Xiaoyao Sect Snow Demon for the 500 dozen Reward, thank you I am Ooti not Feiti for the 100 reward!
