Chapter 318 Are You Happy?

When Wang Yuanling and Gu Zhou walked side by side to the cabin.

The children saw them from a distance.

Ran out.

"Brother Zhouzhou, Sister Lingling!"

Each shout was louder than the last.

Wang Yuanling curved his eyes and touched one of the little heads: "Hello."

"Mr. Gu." A middle-aged woman with short hair and glasses and a kind look walked over.

"Dean." Gu Zhou nodded casually and responded.

Wang Yuanling recognized the other person.

The director of a poor courtyard.

When the first relief meeting was held that day, she, as the director, was always there.

However, the event was hosted by the organizers, so she didn't have much chance to speak.

When she looked at him, he also looked back with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Ling, we meet again."

Wang Yuanling smiled faintly: "Hello, Dean. I'm sorry, there were too many people that day and I didn't have the chance to communicate with you more. Please don't mind."

The dean smiled kindly: "I understand. The two elders have gone back, right?"

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, they returned that night."

The children, who were originally staring at the raw meat skewers with envy, now noisily dragged Gu Zhou away.

"Brother Zhouzhou, come and light a fire!", "I'm so hungry."...

Wang Yuanling looked in the direction of the movement.

Gu Zhou bent down to pick up the linen gloves from the table, then nimbly picked up the box full of charcoal and brought it to the open space.

"Wow, wow, wow." The children jumped up and down excitedly.

Circling around Gu Zhou.

She looked at Gu Zhou with a frown in her eyes: "They really like Mr. Gu."

The dean chuckled: "Because Mr. Gu is a very kind-hearted person."

Wang Yuanling looked back in surprise.

Very kind-hearted?

The dean noticed her surprise and explained with a smile, "Mr. Gu was the only one who, after coming to our cottage, immediately renovated the entire place. The brand new railings at the door were also because he saw the rusty iron door was crumbling, so he went to town that afternoon to replace it for us. Not only that, he also reinforced the house and fixed the leaking roof. Since then, the children have never been woken by raindrops in the middle of the night during heavy rain. Mr. Gu is very thoughtful. He discovered these problems after just one visit. Others have stepped into this place several times and never noticed, or they knew about these problems but remained indifferent. Only Mr. Gu is different."

A flash of surprise flashed across Wang Yuanling's watery eyes.

The gazes cast on the tall figure became increasingly complicated.

Although at first.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that he was a black-hearted person.

But it is undeniable.

Sometimes, he is indeed a good person...

For example, sending her medicine.

For example, when he found that her skirt was sliding up after she sat down, he used the excuse that "the rain splashed on him" to sit next to her and block the rain for her.

Suddenly, a flame shot up from the center of the pile of black carbon.

"Wow! There's a fire, we can grill!"

The children cheered. But within two seconds, her gaze drifted back to that face, which, even from a distance, still managed to maintain its sluggish expression, and she whispered, "I never thought he had this side to him."

The dean agreed with a smile: "To be honest, I was also surprised the first time. After all, Mr. Gu seemed... like the most difficult one to get along with."

Wang Yuanling was the most qualified person to speak on this. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I thought the same when I first met Mr. Gu."

They looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Next second.

The 'difficult to get along with' Gu Zhou stepped over.

His lazy eyes were fixed on her fair and beautiful face.

Wang Yuanling pursed her lips, glanced at the dean guiltily, then raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhou, smiling sweetly: "Boss Gu is really amazing, the fire is lit in an instant."

Being flattered by her, Gu Zhou twitched the corner of his lips and said, "Come and help."

Wang Yuanling eagerly said, "Okay~"

She glanced sideways at the dean and said, "Then dean, I'll go over and help first."

The dean hurriedly said, "I'll help too."

"No need." Gu Zhou stopped him.

He glanced at Wang Yuanling with his dark eyes and said in a casual voice without any meaning: "Two people are enough."

The dean's eyes wandered between them.

See Gu Zhou staring at Wang Yuanling.

After figuring out something, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Yuanling didn't notice and was only thinking about how he could help.

As the sky gradually darkened, the lights installed at the door slanted down on them, casting a long shadow on the ground.

She couldn't help herself, so she stepped lightly on his shadow and followed him.

"Boss Gu, how can I help you?"

"Help me get the ingredients and skewers."

Wang Yuanling looked at the pile of meat skewers and said cheerfully: "Okay~"

She stretched out her hand, and her fingertips were about to touch the skewers.

Gu Zhou grabbed her wrist.

There was heat in the palm of my hand.

Her eyes froze, and she looked up at him.

"Do you think your hands are working too fast?" He said in a lazy tone, stuffing two linen gloves into her palms.

At that time, let go of her wrist.

"Oh~ OK, thank you~" She tightened the gloves in her palms and lowered her eyes.

Gu Zhou stared deeply into her bright smile, pursed his lips, and forced his gaze back to the grill.

The skewers of meat were turned over and grilled on the grill, emitting a sizzling aroma.

The children became even more excited when they smelled the meat.

One or two of them are full of life.

Wang Yuanling's eyes curved even more when he saw this: "Are you so happy eating barbecue?"

The children said in unison: "Yes!"

When she coaxed the child, her voice was soft and thin: "Then wait patiently for a moment, it will be ready soon."

Another resounding reply: "Okay!"

She smiled and was about to look away.

I noticed it out of the corner of my eye.

Glancing sideways, she met his dark eyes.

Wang Yuanling paused, and just as his lips opened, he didn't have time to make a sound.

I saw a leisurely arc on the corner of his mouth: "Are you happy?"

The ending note is wrapped in the crackling sound of charcoal fire, which is inexplicably burning.

The heat waves on her face made her ears warm, and her watery eyes were filled with golden light: "Happy."

The metal clamp suddenly poked into the half-cooked meat skewer, and oil exploded on the iron mesh, creating a brilliant galaxy.

Gu Zhou sneered, his eyelashes drooping, casting a dark grey shadow under his eyes.

Her curious eyes climbed up to his upright profile, and she asked softly, "Are you happy?"

The iron clamp hung in the air, forming a silent arc, and the sauce dripped down the skewer into the charcoal, making a sound.

Gu Zhou's eyes darkened when he looked at her again, but there was a faint fire in the depths of his pupils.

He just opened his mouth.

He was interrupted by a little boy who ran over: "Brother Zhou Zhou, are you ready? I'm hungry!"

She looked away and smiled soothingly, "It's almost there, just wait a little longer."

Wait until your gaze returns to his face again.

But he didn't look at her again and concentrated on grilling the meat.

Wang Yuanling realized later that his question seemed a bit stupid...

She felt a little regretful.

He stood nervously by with the plate in his hand, not saying a word, just waiting for the meat to be served.

Waited for half a minute.

Gu Zhou picked up a skewer of meat from a bunch of skewers.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanling hurriedly brought a high plate to make it easier for him to put the food in.

The skewers of meat were hanging above the plate and were not put in.

She raised her eyes blankly.

The sharp edges of the man were blurred in the smoke, and his superior profile was immersed in the warm fire shadow, with a touch of warmth.

"Try." His voice was hoarse with smoke as he continued his interrupted answer: "Whether I'm happy or not depends on..."

His pause aroused her curiosity, and her heart was pounding nervously.
