Wen Ning's body trembled slightly, her hands unconsciously clinging to Gu Chixi's shoulders.

Since the death of her parents, she has no home, and she does everything by herself. She is used to being alone and being strong. This sudden warmth makes her uncomfortable. But there was an emotion in the bottom of my heart that made her itch and make her boil.

Like lemonade in the mouth, it is sour, bubbling, and the aftertaste is a little sweet.

Raindrops drifted in.

The corners of Wen Ning's eyes were a little wet. She was afraid that she would not live up to her expectations, so she quickly blinked her eyes twice, raised her neck slightly, and said, "Stop doing this."

The arms around the waist|waist tightened tighter.

Gu Chixi buried her face beside her neck, closed her eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

It seems that Lemony really forgot...

September 20th is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also her birthday. She hopes that Wen Ning can stay with her, but she is reluctant to make a request explicitly, because it may embarrass Wen Ning or be rejected directly.

In a sense, she has no native family, only Wen Ning, the only family member.

"Have enough hugs?"

Wen Ning's voice was muffled, "I'm going to take a bath."

"No," Gu Chixi pulled back his thoughts, his cheeks pressed against her ears, "Hold for a while."

"five minutes."

"ten minutes."

Gu Chixi bargained.

Wen Ning compromised: "Six minutes, no more."

"…it is good."

Gu Chixi folded her arms, rubbed the tip of her nose on her hair, the silky and soft touch was very comfortable, and she could smell a light shampoo fragrance.

Wen Ning stared at the watch and started timing.

Three minutes passed.

"Ning Ning," Gu Chixi suddenly raised his head and looked at her eagerly, "Sister wants to kiss you."

"no."

"…"

Gu Chixi was extremely lost, and lowered his head like a child who couldn't get candy.

Wen Ning was excited.

This person stole kisses a lot, took advantage of it during the day, crawled on the bed at night, hugged her, when did he ask for permission seriously? Now she suddenly made this appearance, as if she was wronged, and it didn't feel good to teach her.

After thinking about it, she changed her mouth and said, "It can only be... face."

Gu Chixi raised her head, her eyes lit up, she couldn't wait to hold Wen Ning's face, and kissed her hard, "Go take a bath."

When you're done, let go of her.

Wen Ning blushed suddenly and ran away.

After coming out of the shower, Wen Ning saw Gu Chixi standing in front of the full-length mirror, and had already changed. Everyday style, pastel colors, slim silhouette.

"Going out?" she asked.

Gu Chixi looked at her through the mirror and hummed.

"where to?"

"Something happened."

"…"

Don't tell pull down.

Wen Ning sneered.

She frowned slightly in the mirror, her lips pursed into a straight line.

Gu Chixi suddenly burst out laughing, turned around and pinched her face, "Go to have dinner with a friend and talk about something, you are at home." Coaxing the child's tone.

"What friend? Qiu Yiran?"

"no."

"Do you have any other friends?"

Gu Chixi looked embarrassed and hesitated, "A business friend."

"Oh."

Wen Ning realized that she had asked too much and closed her mouth, however, she couldn't help but ask in the next second, "When will you be back?"

"No more than ten o'clock."

"so late??"

Gu Chixi immediately changed his words: "Before nine o'clock."

"Oh."

Wen Ning didn't speak any more, she turned and sat on the sofa to wipe her hair. After Gu Chixi left for a while, she suddenly reacted...

What time will she be back?

For the past seven years, Gu Chixi has only been dead.

It doesn't matter if you come back or not.

Gu Jinxian lives in a private manor in the southernmost part of the city.

It is not close to the sea, but there are mountains and waters, and there are four buildings of different sizes in a row. Gu Chixi was here for the second time and was not familiar with it, so he entered the house under the guidance of the servant.

The "friend" she wants to meet is her half-sister.

The lights in the main hall were bright and there was no one there. There were clear and playful sounds of children from upstairs. Gu Chixi looked up, and the servant beside him immediately explained: "The chairman comes back at this time every day, and he will play with the young lady and the young master for a while. It's on the third floor now."

"However, she knows you will come, so I'll just take you up directly."

The servant was a new one. She didn't know the grievances between the children of the Gu family, but only knew that she was Gu Jinxian's younger sister, and she was respectful and polite in her words.

This is Gu Jinxian's own residence, far away from the main house of the Gu family, and there is no smell of black smoke.

The servants and servants in the main house are all human beings, one is more snobby than the other.

Gu Chixi pondered for a moment and nodded.

The two took the elevator up.

The entire third floor has been transformed into a children's game park, which is semi-open-air, with inflatable slides, a swing castle, and a VR game hall.

Gu Jinxian is playing gun battle with two children.

The little girl and boy were wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying fake rifles. They ran between the obstacles specially set up, shooting a series of rays of light. Gu Jinxian fell to the ground in response, pretended to be dead, and sat up again after a while.

Gu Chixi looked at them quietly.

About five or six years ago, Gu Jinxian underwent test-tube surgery, carefully selected the best genes, and gave birth to a pair of twins, both surnamed Gu, her little niece and little nephew.

She was in England at the time.

Maybe it's because of the mother's sake, the eldest sister who was cold-spoken when she was a child seems to have changed her **** now.

The maid came forward to inform.

Gu Jinxian's eyes swept over and stayed on Gu Chixi's face for a few seconds. The smile did not disappear. She got up and walked over, waving to the two children, "Miko, Joe, come here."

Children came running with guns.

"This is my aunt." Gu Jinxian said with a smile.

The two little ones looked at Gu Chixi curiously, and shouted obediently, "Auntie."

Gu Chixi didn't know how to respond.

She doesn't coax children.

Only to coax Wen Ning.

"Okay, let's go to dinner with Auntie." Gu Jinxian touched the heads of the two children, knowing that they were not familiar with each other, so she didn't intend to let them continue to communicate.

Gu Chixi breathed a sigh of relief.

The servant walked in front with the two children, and the little ones frequently looked back at Gu Chixi.

The restaurant is in another building, divided into several rooms with different functions. Because the two adults wanted to talk, Gu Jinxian asked the servants to take the children to the children's restaurant, and took Gu Chixi to the Round Table Hall by herself.

The dish was already served, and it was the light taste Gu Chixi preferred.

"drink wine?"

"Don't drink."

Gu Jinxian nodded, sat down, and served her vegetables.

There doesn't seem to be any rush to get to the point.

Gu Chixi didn't speak, he ate calmly, eating whatever he put on it.

Different from the past, this time she took the initiative to contact Gu Jinxian. She originally wanted to talk in the office, but the other party asked her to come to the house for dinner. She has no choice but to ask for help, she can only compromise.

Both eat slowly.

Gu Jinxian's eyes were always on Gu Chixi.

About half an hour later, she put down her chopsticks and slowly picked up the wet towel to wipe her mouth and hands, "I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to find me."

"…"

"What do I need to do?"

The prelude is long enough, and once she gets to the point, she doesn't talk nonsense at all, she smiled and looked at her sister.

Gu Chixi also said bluntly: "Find someone."

"Tell me."

She beckoned to the door, and the servant came over with red wine and poured a small half glass.

Gu Chixi vaguely explained what happened in the company recently.

The air filmed like a cream soup.

Gu Jinxian shook the cup gently and took a sip slowly, "As long as he doesn't plead guilty, there is no problem in catching people. But the consequences may be... the person behind him will take revenge."

"No difference."

"Um?"

"If the other party succeeds this time, they will be inspired. Next time, next time, they will become more and more arrogant until they get rid of all the people I can rely on." Gu Chixi said quietly.

"Can you find out exactly who that person is?"

Gu Jinxian shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate Wang Liya's ability."

"…"

"We are now on a united front."

Gu Chixi frowned and said, "I didn't agree."

"Then why did you take the initiative to contact me?" Gu Jinxian looked at her calmly.

Unexpected silence.

Gu Jinxian picked up the chopsticks again, took a piece of bluefin tuna sashimi, dipped it in wasabi sauce, and brought it to her mouth, "Try it."

Gu Chixi didn't like raw food, so she turned her face away in disgust.

Gu Jinxian laughed, took back the chopsticks, and put the fish into her mouth instead.

Chew slowly.

"It's okay, I'm not forcing you. I can help with this, but... how do you repay me?" She put down her chopsticks again and raised her eyebrows.

Gu Chixi's heart sank and curled her fingers. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

"what can you give me?"

"do not know."

This man lacks nothing.

"Next Friday for the Mid-Autumn Festival," Gu Jinxian's eyes were deep, and the corners of her lips twitched into a playful smile, "you come to me, our sisters have a good festival, and treat it as you repay me, how?"

Gu Chixi immediately rejected: "No."

"Don't worry, Ah Rao won't come."

Mentioning the name of the second sister, Gu Chixi instinctively felt fear, the shadow hit her heart, her curled fingers clenched into fists, her eyes were full of frost.

After a long time, she gave in and said, "I'll think about it."

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the temperature drops slightly.

On Wednesday, Wen Ning received a text message to adjust the schedule. After checking, she found that the tasks in the days of the Mid-Autumn Festival had been replaced. The original tight arrangement was blank, and there were five full days of vacation.

Use your toes to figure out who is behind the scenes.

Although she was a little helpless, she felt that the person was really paranoid, but her heart was warm. Someone cares about her, someone pets her, and this feeling is so addicting that she worries that she will be greedy in the future.

Once you fall in, you can't get out.

Mid-Autumn Festival is sunny.

Wen Ning got up at 7:30. Today, she was going to take her cousin back to her hometown. She started early on the highway. She washed and cleaned up in a hurry, and went downstairs, but heard movement from the kitchen.

She followed the sound and walked over.

The range hood was whirring, and Gu Chixi was standing in front of the stove cooking, with long hair casually pulled back behind his head, wearing pajamas and slippers at home, he had the smell of a wife.

"What are you cooking?" Wen Ning stood beside her.

Gu Chixi was startled and looked up at her with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Spaghetti, today's breakfast."

"...But I'm leaving."

Wen Ning likes to eat pasta very much, and looks a little greedy, but I woke up late today and I'm in a hurry, so I'm afraid it's too late to eat.

"It'll be fine right away," Gu Chixi said anxiously, "Let's go after breakfast, otherwise driving on an empty stomach will easily lead to hypoglycemia."

After speaking, he looked at her expectantly.

Today, Ning Ning returned to her hometown. She stayed here alone. She had to eat lunch and dinner alone, but there was still time for breakfast. Ning Ning could accompany her for a while.

Wen Ning stared at the pasta in the pot and said, "Okay, then I'll leave later."

She looked back, not noticing Gu Chixi's expression at all. She turned around and took out her mobile phone, and went outside to call her cousin. The departure time was delayed by half an hour.

Gu Chixi's eyes were sad, but he was still happy after all.

Breakfast time was short and passed quickly.

Two bowls of pasta, Gu Chixi didn't take a few bites, and watched Wen Ning eat it intently, as if to freeze her at this moment and dig her out of the still time.

After Wen Ning finished eating, she wiped her mouth and consciously picked up the bowl to wash.

"Let it go," Gu Chixi held her hand, "I'll wash it later."

Wen Ning was startled, looked at her watch, nodded and said, "I'll go first."

"Um."

"Pay attention to safety on the road." Gu Chixi looked at her reluctantly, and there was another sentence that came to her mouth without saying it.

- Send me a message when it arrives.

Wen Ning picked up the backpack on the sofa, answered "OK" without turning her head, and walked to the door to put on her shoes. Suddenly, she moved, as if remembering something, and turned around.

He met a deep gaze.

"You..." Her heart skipped a beat, her lips moved, "really not going home?"

Gu Chixi smiled and shook his head.

Wen Ning pursed her lips and said nothing.

Walking to the yard, she glanced back again before getting into the car.

Gu Chixi stood beside the curtain and watched the white car disappear around the corner through the glass...

The car was driving on the wide road. Wen Ning turned on the music and played "Vortex". After listening to it, she felt a little impetuous, and then changed it to "Me at That Time".

An old song from eight years ago, the tune is very light.

She first went to pick up her cousin and cousin in the community where her aunt lived, and then the three of them went out of the city and took the expressway all the way to the county seat of the next city.

The uncle is still recovering, and it is inconvenient to move. The aunt wants to stay and take care of him, so he can only let the three children go to see his grandparents instead, and he will live in his hometown tonight.

At about ten o'clock, we arrived at the county seat and entered the village.

Wen Ning rarely took the initiative to send a message to Gu Chixi: [I'm here]

The second reply over there: [Okay. ]

The house in my hometown was built ten years ago, and it looks a bit old now. My cousin and cousin are used to staying in big cities and don’t like to go back to the countryside very much.

Grandpa was lying on the bed with opera playing on the radio, while grandma sat at the door of the room, stringing dried peppers with a rope.

The elderly are naturally very happy to see their grandchildren coming, especially Wen Ning.

"Well, Ningzai has lost weight again..."

Grandma's dry bark hand touched her face and muttered.

Wen Ning chatted with her and helped her to string dried peppers together. Cousin and cousin went to clean up consciously. Grandpa turned off the radio and lay down and listened to them.

Plain but warm.

In the past, I came to visit to talk to the elderly, help to clean up the house, cook a meal, and the family sat together to eat. Since the upheaval, the family has rarely had a happy time.

At noon, Wen Ning went to cook and asked her cousin to help her.

My cousin said reluctantly, "Damn, the kitchen isn't your women's territory. What am I going to do in it?"

"Xu Mingxuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Say it again and I'll cut you—" My cousin picked up a carrot and pointed at him.

"A little bit~"

Wen Ning sounded uncomfortable, but her younger brother didn't care too much, so she stopped her cousin and said, "Forget it."

Two sisters are busy in the kitchen.

"By the way, cousin, have you asked me about the recruitment?"

"Um."

"How is it?" Xu Anruo's eyes lit up.

Wen Ning lowered her head and cut the potatoes, and said, "The leader said that there is no shortage of people for the time being, but if you want to go, you can arrange a separate interview for you. Anyway, there are not many more people."

"Ah?" The little girl opened her mouth, "Is it very strict to interview alone? So many people are staring at me..."

"I don't know, either you wait until next year, or try another airline?"

"I won't go, without my cousin, I will be bullied."

"…"

Wen Ning was dumbfounded.

She put the cut potatoes on a plate and put them aside. She raised her hand and knocked on the girl's forehead, "I'm just a driver too, I'm a part-time worker, but I can't cover you."

"What about the salary? Did you ask?"

"not tall."

"Oops, cousin, you're so anxious to kill me, so finish it all at once~" Xu Anruo stomped her feet.

Wen Ning sighed: "After passing the interview, the training costs 15,000 yuan for three months, and then the four-month internship, that is, the master will take you to fly, the basic salary is 3,200, the hourly fee is 20, and a month is calculated as 90 hours, and the newcomers are not so much. The more subsidy, the more than 5,000, which is far from what you think."

This kid thought he could earn over 10,000 a month as soon as he got on the plane.

"Five thousand? In Luocheng? Are you kidding me?" Xu Anruo felt that her dream was shattered.

Wen Ning spread her hands: "Interns are so cheap."

"However, when you fly solo, the hourly fee will go up. Officially, it should be 76 yuan, and there are other subsidies, which add up to over 10,000. The higher the level, the more money you earn, and the more you earn by flying international routes."

"How long will it take..."

The little girl's face was downcast, a little depressed.

Wen Ning didn't continue talking, and let her think for herself. If these can't get rid of her cousin's thoughts, it means that it is not a three-minute heat, so it is understandable to try.

When the meal was ready, Wen Ning went to feed grandpa first, and then sat down by herself. After eating, she took the initiative to wash the pots and dishes, and clean the kitchen.

The eldest of the grandchildren always has to bear more.

When grandma took a nap, Wen Ning went upstairs to tidy up the room, make the bed, and worked until after two o'clock. My cousin and cousin were playing games downstairs. She lay down on the bed and played with her mobile phone.

I swiped the social software one by one, and I was a little drowsy.

She finally clicked into the company's intranet forum.

On the homepage, there is a row of spectacular and eye-catching posts: [Mr. Gu Happy Birthday! ]

The post ID is called "Gu Lao Daquan Fan Support Club".

Wen Ning was stunned.

Birthday? ? ?

Today, September 20th…

Memories flooded into the brain, overlapping with the previous sense of familiarity.

She forgot.

Wen Ning was stunned, and she was completely drowsy. She bounced off the bed like a corpse, packed her backpack in a hurry, and hurried downstairs.

My cousin and cousin were playing games. She patted her cousin on the shoulder and said eagerly, "Miaomiao, I have a flight to fly. I'll go back first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

lied.

Xu Anruo and his younger brother raised their heads blankly: "Huh?"

Wen Ning didn't have much to say, and floated out like a gust of wind.

A two-hour high-speed drive.

When we arrived in Los Angeles, it was almost five o'clock, the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and the sky was splendid with golden red rays of light.

There was a bit of traffic jam in the city, Wen Ning's heart was beating wildly, as if she was racing against time. Her palms were sweating while clutching the steering wheel. She hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived at Tianhe Bay before 5:30.

She parked the car outside, scrambled to find the key, and poked it two or three times before getting it into the keyhole.

The door code was entered wrong again.

After finally opening the door, Wen Ning's shoes rushed into the house before changing, and met the man head on.

"Lemon?"

Gu Chixi stared at her blankly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Why are you back?"

"I…"

Wen Ning gasped for breath, but stopped talking.
