Second update

Gu Cheng helped Qin Yao home. Behind the couple, there followed Zhuo Liang with an inquiring look in his eyes. Gu Cheng was very unhappy, but his wife was so hospitable that she brought him back. She even thought he was an outstanding man.

"He is always the runner-up." Gu Cheng whispered to Qin Yao.

"Oh." Qin Yao nodded, "Then who is the first?"

"Is there any need to ask?" Gu Cheng gave her a look.

Qin Yao: "Tsk tsk."

Zhuo Liang's eyelids twitched as the couple whispered to each other. Even if the voices were very low, his keen ears could always catch a few words, probably "school" or "second child"...

Depend on! It has been so many years since graduation, he had long forgotten the past, but this guy Gu Cheng actually brought it up. A good man does not brag about his past achievements. How can he brag about things from his school days now?

"He's still an old man, over 30 years old, and he can't find a partner at such an old age." Gu Cheng complained to his wife in a low voice. He had been holding these words in for a long time and couldn't help but say them.

Gu Cheng was not afraid that Zhuo Liang could hear it, but he was afraid that he could not hear it. This guy felt good about himself and deserved to hear the "truth".

Gu Cheng originally didn't want to argue with him about these things, but since he came to his house today, don't blame him for being rude, he is a good man with a "small mind".

Qin Yao said "Oh", and she thought to herself, you two are really the same kind, Captain Gu, you were just such a hard piece of old bacon last year.

"So don't mention finding a partner to him. It will undermine his confidence." Gu Cheng showed his concern like a crocodile: "Don't listen to his nonsense either. It's all nonsense. If his words were useful, he wouldn't be single until now. It's so pitiful. He has never had a partner and can only deceive himself with Ah Q spirit."

Qin Yao: “…”

She thought to herself, Captain Gu, your personal grudges are very high, and maybe this perennial runner-up also threatened him deeply in the past.

"Hey, hey, hey!!! Gu Cheng, what are you talking to your wife about?" Zhuo Liang couldn't listen any more. Gu Cheng, the proud and unruly young boy in his impression, how did he become a middle-aged "married man" who always talks bad about people behind their backs.

He looked like a steady and respectable old commander on the warship, but what happened to him after he got off the ship?

"I am telling my wife a private conversation between husband and wife. Please keep silent, outsiders, and do not listen." Gu Cheng hugged his wife and continued to whisper. After holding it in for several months, he really wanted to talk to Qin Yao and wanted to talk for three days and three nights.

It was so boring on the boat, so boring that grass grew on my head. I had to face this stinky man every day and didn't even have the desire to talk.

In the past, no one talked after getting off the boat, so he could only keep things to himself. But now it’s different. He has a wife, and he can go home to a warm bed with his wife and children, and hug his wife and chat all night long. That is the joy of life.

If you are a human being, you should talk more. You are suffocating him to death! I've been holding it in for several months!

"Captain Gu, please be polite when entertaining guests." Qin Yao looked up at him and smiled. She had not yet told him the news that she was pregnant with twins.

"Okay." Gu Cheng nodded. They had already walked into the yard. After he left, the couple's yard was well taken care of. Qin Yao was pregnant, and her pregnancy was just showing, so it didn't affect anything. Sister Zaohua next door took good care of her. She asked Jia Jia and Gua Gua to help her water the vegetable garden, and said that if she was not convenient to cook, they could come to her house and take some away.

Qin Yao was very touched and couldn't help but like the neighborly relationship at this time. Although they occasionally quarreled on weekdays, they would help each other when their families had difficulties.

When he returned home, Gu Cheng found that it looked much more unfamiliar. There were many new things in the house, many of which were prepared for the children. The curtains and tablecloths in the house also looked different.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law knew that Qin Yao was pregnant, so they asked people to bring a lot of things over during this period, including various supplements, clothes, and various children's toys.

Gu Cheng's mother also gave him the bullet shell toy that he had played with when he was a child. Qin Yao thought it was a handicraft and placed it next to the radio as a decoration.

Gu Cheng picked up a bullet shell tank and felt that it looked familiar. Then he looked at the piece of decorative cloth next to it and twitched his mouth: "..."

This is the diaper he used as a kid!

Why do people of that fucking generation keep all the junk? How much did you bring?

"Yaoyao, this——" Gu Cheng pointed to the diaper.

Qin Yao: "I think this pattern is pretty nice. Don't you think it will make our home more cozy with this decoration?"

It’s a small, poor family. The longer they live in this small, poor family, the more belongings they have. When they first came here at the beginning of the year, there were only a few big items and the house was empty. Later, Qin Yao added a lot of small items, but it didn’t add much life atmosphere.

This time, the mother-in-law sent a lot of old things. Qin Yao picked out some things and placed them at home. She felt warm and had that little romance in life.

"The floral fabrics in the past were very beautiful." From the Republic of China period to the 1950s and 1960s, cheongsams were popular, as was bragi. Many floral fabrics were as fashionable as those of later generations and had a very international style. In contrast, the styles of things in recent years have become simpler, mainly with floral polka dots and stripes.

"It looks good, but it does..." Gu Cheng thought that he would tell Qin Yao the truth after the guests left. The next second, Gu Cheng set his eyes on a teapot and a porcelain vase, "This - you have never used this teapot, have you?"

Qin Yao shook her head: "Not yet."

"Oh." Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. This teapot used to be in his father's office. When he was a child, he sneaked into his father's office. The adults were in a meeting and he was playing alone. He felt the urge to pee but was too lazy to go out, so he peed directly in the teapot.

Somehow, the teapot, perhaps because it was warm, was mistakenly thought to contain tea that had not yet cooled down, and was brought into the conference room.

Follow-up...the follow-up is, we will go to another place for dinner in the evening.

"Don't use this. Why did my mother send this thing to me? It must have been my father." Gu Cheng wondered if his family members were crazy. They took advantage of his absence to send random things to his wife.

Gu Cheng took the teapot and the vase away.

Qin Yao asked curiously: "What are you doing? Isn't this flower arrangement okay?"

The vase was filled with water and contained two fresh blue hydrangeas.

Gu Cheng thought with a dark face, I also peed in it when I was a child and used it as a chamber pot.

Captain Gu never thought it was a big deal before, he felt that he had been a decent person since he was a child. But now that so much evidence has been presented, he is reminded one by one of the many bad things he did when he was a child.

Why did he pee in so many places?

Gu Cheng took the things upstairs, and Qin Yao followed closely behind him, continuing to ask: "Why do you want to put it away? This old thing can still be used?"

Gu Cheng whispered, "I have peed before."

Qin Yao: “…”

Forget it, there is a smell. It is better not to ask. It is necessary to check again the things sent by my parents-in-law.

Is this the belated "revenge" from the parents?

"Why don't you take this teapot to entertain him and make tea for him." Gu Cheng handed the teapot to Qin Yao and asked her to take it down to entertain Zhuo Liang.

Qin Yao squinted her eyes and said, "Stop doing immoral things, dear."

Qin Yao crossed her arms and looked at Gu Cheng. Both the little Gu she had just met and the captain Gu who later became him were obviously serious people. Why did he seem so frivolous when these things appeared?

Of course, Qin Yao did a lot of bad things when she was a child.

Qin Yao changed the teapot, made tea for Zhuo Liang, asked him to sit down, and also brought him some melon seeds, peanuts and biscuits, and set a table full of fruits and snacks to entertain the guest.

Gu Cheng walked down, took a quick shower, changed into clean casual clothes, walked out and sat next to Qin Yao.

Seeing so much evidence of his childhood, he didn't feel guilty at all. He took a sip of hot tea and calmed down.

The bad past is the past after all. Which little boy has not done bad things?

Zhuo Liang looked at the couple, curious about their relationship, "Xiao Qin, how did you get together with Gu Cheng?"

"We just got together like that."

"I pursued her for half a year." Gu Cheng put down his teacup. He had just witnessed so many dark histories of his childhood. Captain Gu was a desperate man. He had done all kinds of stupid things in the past. He himself could not remember clearly, but those old seniors and generals knew them very well. Some of them were lucky enough to drink his urine, which could not be washed away... He was not the perfect Captain Gu at the beginning.

Zhuo Liang was stunned, and Qin Yao was also stunned, because Gu Cheng didn't like to talk about these things before, and very few people knew about it.

Gu Cheng looked straight at Zhuo Liang: "If you like someone, you should seize the opportunity. I always like to attack, so I wrote love poems for her for half a year."

"Do you want to see the love poems I wrote?" After that, Gu Cheng said provocatively: "People like you probably have never written a love poem, and your level is not as good as mine."

Qin Yao: “…”

"Who said I haven't written it? I have!" Zhuo Liang was immediately irritated by Gu Cheng. After he was done with his anger, he felt subtly annoyed. Why did he have to compete with Gu Cheng in writing love poems?

Gu Cheng looked down at him and said with disdain: "You wrote it? You can't even find a wife."

Zhuo Liang was so angry that he wanted to slam the table, "That's because I didn't like it."

"One can be said to be someone else's problem, but if so many are not liked, it is probably because others don't like you."

As soon as Gu Cheng said this, the truth came out.

Zhuo Liang thinks he is excellent, but those he likes are not enthusiastic about him; and those who are enthusiastic about him, he looks down upon. Therefore, in order to save face for themselves, they set various criteria for judgment.

Zhuo Liang was so angry that his liver ached. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to Gu Cheng's house. This guy seemed cold and serious on the surface, but he was so vicious in private.

Why did he rush to Gu Cheng's house to be scolded by him?

"So what if you got a wife? You've been pursuing her for half a year. Aren't you ashamed, squad leader Gu?"

"You are so shameful. It takes you half a year to chase someone."

Gu Cheng peeled a longan and continued his attack: "I am not ashamed. I have been on a blind date with my wife. She despised me and said I was too old. She rejected me the first time, but I didn't lose heart."

"Although I am a little older, I am still younger than some people." Gu Cheng said meaningfully.

Zhuo Liang almost jumped up and down because of his words.

Qin Yao peeled a banana nearby and ate it slowly while enjoying herself.

"You're so old, but you still haven't found a wife. How pitiful." Gu Cheng pretended to be sincere while taking Qin Yao's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, Yaoyao, for accepting me and giving me a chance to pursue you. In the end, you became my lover."

"Otherwise, I would be in my thirties and still be alone."

Qin Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to herself, Captain Gu, how much older are you exaggerating when you say you're "thirty-something"?

Captain Gu knows how to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. The more a person pays attention to something, the more he cares about it. Zhuo Liang is so lonely, so what conditions can be negotiated?

Zhuo Liang was in high spirits when he came to Gu's house, but after a meal, he began to sigh while listening to the radio.

How sad! Even Gu Cheng has started to woo her humbly. What about him? Can we still negotiate terms?

"Xiao Qin, do you dislike him? Why did you pursue him for half a year before you agreed to him?"

Qin Yao: "I liked him the first time I met him."

"Yaoyao, you don't have to give me so much face."

Gu Cheng next to him chuckled and looked at Qin Yao with great tenderness. He always felt that Qin Yao had wronged herself for his face. She fell in love with him the first time they met? It must be fake.

"I'm not lying. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been pestering you."

Gu Cheng: "Aren't you here to ask me to carry your luggage for you?"

"No." Gu Cheng looked at her strangely: "Then why did you reject me on the blind date?"

Qin Yao: "I thought you disliked my fatness and wanted to teach you a lesson."

"How do I dislike you?"

"Just tell me, did you dislike me on the day we first met? I fell in love with you at first sight, and you disliked me so much!"

Gu Cheng protested: "I didn't do it."

"You have it."

…

The history of their relationship is a mess. Although a year has passed, they both feel that the other party did not like them first and they are still upset about it.

There was no outsider here before, but now there is an outsider, Zhuo Liang, who is here, and it is a good opportunity to pull him together to judge the case.

Gu Cheng asked Zhuo Liang to sit in the middle: "You have been through so much, haven't you got a sense of justice? You come and judge, between me and her, who cares more about whom."

"This woman accepted my love poems for three months without saying a word."

Zhuo Liang tilted his head to look at Qin Yao and listened to the opposing side's speech.

Qin Yao: "Why do you think those poems you wrote can attract me?"

"If I hadn't liked you from the beginning, there would have been no follow-up between us!"

Zhuo Liang looked at Gu Cheng, curious about what was going on between them.

Gu Cheng: "I was the one who threw the chalk first."

Qin Yao: "...You are just helping others."

"Yaoyao, I'm not a nosy person. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't throw it away."

"You're a big liar!"

Qin Yao still refuses to believe it. She still thinks that she was the one who liked Gu Cheng first. Gu Cheng had no good feelings towards her at all at that time. Liar, liar, liar!

"You didn't have any good feelings towards me at all!"

Gu Cheng: "Who said that? I like you very much."

Qin Yao looked into his eyes. She picked up Gu Cheng's wrist, wanting to check his favorability again, but after a moment's thought, she finally let it go.

This favorability system is so lame. It's a pity that there is no favorability electrocardiogram curve. It can't prove what Gu Cheng felt for her at that time.

And when she first met Gu Cheng, was it definitely love? She just considered him as a candidate.

——I don’t know where the love comes from, but it is deep and lasting.

The couple was arguing and getting close to each other again. Gu Cheng touched her belly and said in surprise, "It seems to be moving."

He squatted down and put his cheek on Qin Yao's belly. Qin Yao smiled and touched his head.

"I almost forgot to tell you, I'm pregnant with twins."

"Two?" Gu Cheng was stunned.

Zhuo Liang over there was more than just stunned. He was extremely jealous. As a qualified light bulb, he was tortured to death after listening to the couple's love story for most of the day.

He never knew that listening to other people talk about how to date could be so heartbreaking.

Gu Cheng picked up such a beautiful wife at the port!

Where was he going to pick one up?
