Chapter 772: Impatience
Gu Huaiyu's return to the capital was like a stone falling into a lake, causing ripples and disturbing the hearts of many young girls in the capital.
There were a lot of girls at the banquets that Gu Huaiyu attended.
Gu Huaiyu's portrait once became a best-seller in the capital.
As soon as the stories related to Gu Huaiyu come out, they will be sold out.
Tang Li looked at the scene of Gu Huaiyu surrounded by a group of girls and felt that this scene was similar to the star chasing thousands of years later, and Gu Huaiyu was that star.
However, in terms of appearance and connotation, her second brother really deserves it.
However, although Gu Huaiyu was loved and pursued by so many girls, marriage was a big problem, which often made Mrs. Gu unable to sleep.
Tang Li felt that her second brother was more like the stars, shining brightly but out of reach.
Even so, there are still people who chase it desperately.
For example, Du Yan.
During this period, Du Yan met Gu Huaiyu several times through Tang Li's relationship and gave him a lot of things.
When Du Yan saw the sachet he had given as a gift hanging on Zhang Zhaoming, he felt a little depressed, but he did not give up.
From the princess and Zhang Zhaoming, Du Yan got to know Gu Huaiyu. He looked gentle, but was actually cold and aloof, a flower on the top of the mountain.
Of course, it is not easy to capture the flower of Gaoling.
At least I know Gu Huaiyu better than those girls. Thinking this way, I feel a little comforted.
Du Yan quickly cheered up.
Wangjiang Tower was particularly lively that day because Gu Huaiyu was playing chess with a friend there.
Outside the Wangjiang Tower, a group of girls stretched their heads to look inside, trying to catch a glimpse of the celestial figure of the jade-like young man.
But he was stopped outside the door by a man.
Although Zhang Zhaoming has a baby face, he is capable enough to be Gu Huaiyu's deputy general. He is good at fighting and has killed countless enemies. He is quite scary when he has a cold face.
"Ladies, please go back. My general doesn't like noise when he's playing chess." Zhang Zhaoming said coldly.
He stared at the girls with cold eyes, and the girls felt creepy and walked away.
The area in front of Wangjiang Tower suddenly became much quieter.
After a while, a head popped out from the corner.
Du Yan's eyes were rolling around, and Zhang Zhaoming also saw her. He immediately smiled, and his baby face looked a little honest.
"Everyone has been driven away." Zhang Zhaoming said.
Du Yan often approached Gu Huaiyu, and Gu Huaiyu's attitude towards her remained the same. She and Zhang Zhaoming became familiar with each other.
She jokingly asked Zhang Zhaoming to help her watch over the Second Master Gu and not let other girls approach him. As a result, Zhang Zhaoming really obeyed her and drove those girls away.
Du Yan was a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhang, will Second Young Master Gu blame you for this?"
"Yes, he will scold me." Zhang Zhaoming said with a bitter face.
Du Yan suddenly felt extremely guilty, her heart filled with self-blame and at a loss: "I was just joking, don't do this next time, if you get scolded by your general because of me..."
Zhang Zhaoming immediately smiled: "I was just kidding."
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't realize that the honest and simple Zhang Zhaoming would actually lie.
"Actually, the general is also fed up with them. The general won't blame me for driving them away." Zhang Zhaoming said.
"Your general is fed up with them? Did he say that?" Du Yan asked curiously.
"No, the general has a gentle temperament and would not say anything to drive anyone away. But I have followed the general for many years and I know some of his little habits. For example, when he is impatient, he will twist his fingers..." Zhang Zhaoming said.
Du Yan silently wrote down these little habits of Gu Huaiyu, and then handed a food box to Zhang Zhaoming.
Zhang Zhaoming took it and said, "After the general finishes playing chess, I'll give it to him..."
"For you." Du Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Zhaoming was stunned, his eyes widened, making his baby face look even cuter.
"For me?" Zhang Zhaoming asked in surprise.
"Didn't you say that the osmanthus cake I made was delicious? I made it especially for you." Du Yan said.
Du Yan was actually quite happy. Her cooking skills were average and it was rare for someone to praise her.
Zhang Zhaoming also remembered this incident. Du Yan gave the general the osmanthus cake she made herself, and the general gave it to himself.
Zhang Zhaoming took a bite and found it so sweet that it was sickening, but he still finished all the osmanthus cake.
When Du Yan found out that he had eaten it, she felt very sad and suddenly asked how it tasted. To comfort her, Zhang Zhaoming said it was delicious.
Zhang Zhaoming thought of the bitter-sweet taste. It was clearly a dark dish and not delicious at all, but he was still very happy.
"Thank you." Zhang Zhaoming thanked him.
Gu Huaiyu was playing chess inside, so Du Yan and Zhang Zhaoming sat under the eaves together.
Du Yan held up her chin, feeling a little bored waiting, so she turned to look at Zhang Zhaoming: "Want to try it?"
Zhang Zhaoming opened the food box and tasted a piece.
Du Yan looked at him eagerly: "How does it taste? Is there any improvement?"
Zhang Zhaoming nodded: "Yes, it tastes better."
Du Yan was also a little curious, so she picked up a piece and started eating it. After she finished eating, her little face wrinkled into a ball.
"Oh no! The sugar isn't evenly distributed," Du Yan said. Seeing Zhang Zhaoming grab another piece to eat, she quickly stopped him. "Oh, don't eat it! I'll make it for you tomorrow."
But Zhang Zhaoming dodged it unexpectedly and held the food box tightly.
"It's delicious. I just like sweet food." Zhang Zhaoming said, "When I was a child, I could only eat a piece of candy during the Chinese New Year. Eating something sweet reminds me of the Chinese New Year when I was a kid..."
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, withdrew his hand, and looked at Zhang Zhaoming with his chin in his hand, thinking that he was a man with a story.
"I'm from the deserted city," Zhang Zhaoming said. "It was very cold there, the wind was strong, and there wasn't much to eat. When we were hungry, we even ate dirt mixed with water. Only during the New Year did my mother give us a piece of candy. When I was older, my family couldn't afford to support me, so they sent me to join the army. There were several children with me, but as the years went by, the number of people dwindled until I was the only one left. Later, thankfully, I met the general, and my good days began."
A happy expression appeared on Zhang Zhaoming's baby face.
However, Du Yan couldn't be happy and felt depressed.
Behind these few words lies unspeakable danger and cruelty.
Gu Huaiyu, everyone sees his elegant appearance and glorious military achievements, but few people expect the countless dangers and life and death he experienced.
The same goes for the cheerful-looking young man in front of me.
"It would be great if we didn't have to fight." Du Yan said hesitantly.
Zhang Zhaoming thought of his deceased companions and stopped smiling. He said in a daze, "Yeah, it would be nice if we didn't have to fight."
Zhang Zhaoming suddenly looked at Du Yan, his eyes sparkling.
Du Yan covered her face: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You are so cute." Zhang Zhaoming said with a smile.
"How can I be so cute? My mom said I was so scared..."
"Other girls think that we generals are handsome when we kill enemies, but you are the only one who thinks about the dangers and pains we have experienced." Zhang Zhaoming said.
Du Yan felt a little embarrassed by what he said and ignored him.
The two of them sat under the eaves. After a long time, Gu Huaiyu came out. Standing side by side with him was an old man.
The old man was old, but he was puffing his beard and glaring, and seemed unhappy.
"I just made a wrong move, otherwise I would definitely win." The white-haired old man snorted.
Gu Huaiyu had a gentle smile on his face: "Mr. Zhan is right, come again next time, go back first."
The two walked towards the carriage.
When Gu Huaiyu saw Du Yan, he paused.
"Second Master Gu, wait a minute, I have something to give you." Du Yan said, and went to look for something, but found that it had fallen on the ground. She quickly picked it up and handed it to Gu Huaiyu, "Wear this on your wrist to protect it."
Gu Huaiyu was as gentle as ever. After accepting the things, he got into the carriage with the old man Zhan.
Du Yan looked at the carriage, but there was no joy on her face. Instead, she was stunned.
"Du Yan..." Zhang Zhaoming felt that something was wrong with her and called out.
Du Yan quickly forced a smile: "I'm fine, go get the carriage, your general is waiting for you."
As he said this, he pushed Zhang Zhaoming.
Zhang Zhaoming drove away in the carriage, and Du Yan's shoulders drooped, with a sad expression on her face.
When she was looking for something, Gu Huaiyu twisted his fingers and became impatient with her.
She was initially attracted by Gu Huaiyu's gentleness and elegance, but now she somewhat disliked his gentleness and thoughtfulness.
He shouldn't be so considerate, shouldn't care about other people's thoughts so much, and should tear off the mask of gentleness. Then, she won't be attracted and fall for him.
