Chapter 20 Sweets (2)
"This is the best-selling item in their store. I'll treat you to it." Chu Yan smiled and called again: "Cousin."
Gu Chuan sat opposite her. He didn't remember how he walked in. He just saw her saying hello and when he came to his senses, he sat here.
He didn't know if it was because too much time had passed that he had forgotten what kind of person Chu Yan should be. At least in his perception, Chu Yan was not someone who would stay friends with her ex-boyfriend after breaking up. , but her smile now has no grudge, which actually makes him have the illusion that he is not familiar with her.
We are all adults and we should learn to look forward.
However, Gu Chuan realized that this time he saw Chu Yan, his mood was even more indescribable than the last time he saw her at the engagement party. He lowered his eyes and tasted the black forest cake. He said One voice: "Very sweet."
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up another cake box, looked at it, and said apologetically: "I took it by mistake, and gave you the one with extra sugar."
"It's okay." Gu Chuan took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "I like sweetness."
Chu Yan immediately smiled and said: "Shen Xing also likes sweets. You two are really worthy of being cousins."
Shen Xing likes desserts?
Gu Chuan still remembered that when Shen Xing was a child, he would put all the cake on other people's faces during his birthday. When asked, he didn't like such sweet and greasy things.
Gu Chuan rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers and asked, "Don't you like sweetness?"
"I don't like it, and I don't hate it either."
He added: "But you bought something that was too sweet."
"Because Shen Xing likes it, I want to try more and like the same things as him."
Gu Chuan's throat tightened, "That's it."
Something is wrong.
In the past, when he and Chu Yan walked together, the food she ordered would always have sugar added, and then she would order the same thing for him, or throw it to him if she couldn't finish it.
She obviously doesn't like sweets, so why does she order so many sweets?
Gu Chuan lowered his eyebrows and took another sip of unsweetened coffee. It was a bit bitter, but it suppressed the sweetness of the piece of cake he tasted before.
After a while, he asked her: "What do you want?"
Chu Yan was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
"Is there anything you want?" Gu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Money, jewelry, a house...or anything else, as long as I can afford it, I won't refuse."
Chu Yan asked uncertainly: "This is... do you want to prepare wedding gifts for Shen Xing and I in advance?"
Gu Chuan's lips moved slightly, "No."
She didn't know if a rich young man like Gu Chuan, who came from an old-school family, was particular about giving gifts. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, I don't need anything from you."
"It's not you." He corrected, "It's you."
Chu Yan smiled, "That's even more unnecessary. If I want something, Shen Xing will buy it for me."
Gu Chuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you love Shen Xing?"
"Yes." Chu Yan answered calmly, without any hesitation.
"You..." Gu Chuan paused and asked, "How did you get together?"
Fang Fang hurried over and said, "Yanyan!"
Then, Fang Fang looked at Gu Chuan and said with a cold face, "Why are you here?"
Fang Fang just went to the toilet. When she came out, she saw Chu Yan and Gu Chuan sitting here. She felt that the sky was about to collapse and ran over quickly.
Chu Yan said: "Fang Fang, he is Shen Xing's cousin. I saw him passing by, so I invited him to sit for a while." When Gu Chuan heard Chu Yan introduce herself, the feeling of disobedience became stronger and he raised his eyebrows. He raised his eyes and watched Chu Yan's expression more and more carefully.
Chu Yan introduced to Gu Chuan again, "This is my friend and high school classmate, Fang Fang."
The blood in Gu Chuan's body seemed to condense at this moment. He stood up and truly felt the strangeness to him in Chu Yan's eyes. Everything that was wrong seemed to be solved by an incredible answer.
Fang Fang quickly said to Chu Yan: "I heard from the boss that they will release new products in a few days. Isn't Shen Xing coming back in a few days? Why don't you order one? You can eat it when Shen Xing comes back."
"Okay." Chu Yan took a step forward with interest, then turned back and looked at Fang Fang and Gu Chuan worriedly.
Fang Fang laughed, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu and I have met several times before, just catching up on old times."
Chu Yan was a little surprised that they knew each other, but thinking that Fang Fang's husband was an elite investment banker, maybe they had met because of work, so she didn't think much about it.
Fang Fang saw Chu Yan going to the counter to talk to the boss. She looked at Gu Chuan again, her expression became much more ugly, "Stay away from her."
Gu Chuan said: "She doesn't remember me."
It's a yes, not a question.
Fang Fang knew that Gu Chuan was not stupid and would definitely find a problem. She sat on the chair and formed a confrontation situation with Gu Chuan who sat down. "It's a good thing that she forgot you. Now she is happy. You are also bound to I'm getting married soon. Gu Chuan, wouldn't it be better for you not to explore it? "
Gu Chuan asked: "Why did she lose her memory? Did Shen Xing have an inside story when he was with her?"
He has always been a perceptive person. Fang Fang felt a headache, but even more impatient, "Chu Yan's matters have nothing to do with you now. You are not qualified to ask questions. Gu Chuan, if you still have some conscience, don't mention the past. Don’t ruin her peaceful and happy life now.”
Chu Yan stood at the counter, flipping through the picture album handed over by the boss. She imagined what kind of desserts Shen Xing liked, with a smile on her face. Finally, she stretched out her finger to point to a little pig squatting on the ground. pink cake, smiled and said: "I want this, with more sugar."
In the dim yellow light, the ring on her finger shone with light.
Gu Chuan stood up, staring at the ring on her finger with a pair of black eyes.
That day, he came back late again and she was not at home. Gu Chuan rushed to Lover's Lake and saw the girl sitting on the grass in a daze.
They seemed to say something, and then after crying and shouting, she curled up and sat on the grass, trembling slightly.
He felt briefly tired, held her in his arms, and told her gently, "Yanyan, we will not break up."
The box he had prepared long ago was hidden in his pocket. The moment he took it out and opened it, the silver ring became a bright color in the dim environment.
She wiped away her tears, looked at the ring, and then looked at him blankly.
He laughed, held her face, and kissed her softly, "Marry me, and I will give you the grandest wedding."
Did that happen two years ago or three years ago?
Gu Chuan can’t remember clearly.
Chu Yan returned all the things he had given her in the past seven years, except for this ring.
He thought she had lost the ring, but it was still on her hand.
A person's memory can be changed, but habits are difficult to change.
Shen Xing doesn't like sweets.
Gu Chuan only found out today that Chu Yan didn't like sweets either.
He has always been the one with a sweet tooth.
Gu Chuan felt his throat tighten inexplicably, his mouth was dry, and the blood in his body was restless with the unbalanced beating of his heart.
Chu Yan, who has not forgotten the past, still loves him?
