Su Nianmei's feet were held in Gu Xichao's palms. His technique was skillful and his strength was just right. Su Nianmei squinted her eyes in comfort.
After the pain eased, a tingling sensation followed the position of the man's hand, drilled out from her feet, and spread to her whole body. She couldn't help shaking her legs and said, "My feet don't hurt anymore."
He pretended to pull his foot back from Gu Xichao's hand.
Gu Xichao glanced at Su Nianmei and didn't notice anything unusual about her. He thought Su Nianmei's foot was fine, so he withdrew his hand and said seriously, "Be careful when you walk next time. Luckily I was here this time. If I wasn't here, would you still be in so much pain?"
Su Nianmei's jealousy had subsided a little, but after hearing what Gu Xichao said, she became angry again and said angrily, "Even if you're gone, I still have Xiaobao. Anyway..."
Su Nianmei hadn't finished speaking yet.
Gu Xichao came in front of her, staring at her with his beautiful phoenix eyes, his pupils were dark and shiny, like a bewitching demon that could make people fall in love with him at a glance, tempting her and saying, "What?"
The hot air he exhaled hit Su Nianmei's neck, making her feel itchy.
Su Nianmei felt hot and stretched out her hand to push Gu Xichao away, but her strength was weak. She supported herself on the table with her elbows and pretended to stand up from the chair.
Gu Xichao didn't care about the little force. He pulled Su Nianmei's hand, turned around, and held Su Nianmei in his arms.
Su Nianmei's arms went limp instantly, and her head just happened to hit Gu Xichao's epaulettes. In front of her was the man's chest, and behind her was the cold desk.
There was also the sound of her heart pounding, and she couldn't tell whether it was hers or Gu Xichao's, which made her feel very nervous.
As she got closer, she could smell the man's scent all around her - a faint fragrance, but one that made her dizzy.
She was still thinking about the unhappiness in her heart and didn't want to be conquered by the man so easily, so she tried hard to keep herself sober.
Su Nianmei was stuck in the desk by the man, her back rubbed against the notebook, making a "hissing" sound as the pages turned.
She licked her lips, poked Gu Xichao's shoulder with her index finger, looked at the man with her black and white eyes, but with a hint of coquettishness, and said, "Get up, I'm going to heat up some food for you."
Gu Xichao ignored him, his eyes sparkling, his beautiful eyebrows raised, and he asked with a playful look, "What?"
Su Nianmei didn't say anything, but raised her head and pinched Gu Xichao.
Gu Xi lowered his head and saw Su Nianmei’s blushing face. He couldn’t help but want to kiss her.
Su Nianmei felt a sense of crisis when she looked at Gu Xichao. She dodged her head and his lips slid across her cheek and landed on her neck.
Numbness deep into the bones.
She stepped on Gu Xichao's foot, and Gu Xichao raised his arm in pain. Su Nianmei immediately seized the opportunity and slipped out of his arms.
She ran to the kitchen, her face still flushed, and touched the cold handle of the spoon, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still a little angry inside and felt that she couldn't compromise like this.
But she herself couldn't explain why she was angry.
He glanced at the vinegar bottle on the chopping board and added some to the rice.
The meal was heated up and brought into the living room.
There was a small light on in the living room, and the light was dim.
Gu Xichao sat in the backlight, wearing a set of home clothes. His appearance was hazy in the light and only his outline could be seen. He held a pocket watch in his hand, resting it on his chin, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Only then did she realize that the man's hair was a little longer than before and his figure was a little thinner.
Su Nianmei handed the chopsticks to the man.
The man was a little slow, took the chopsticks and said, "Thank you."
Su Nianmei felt a little awkward for a moment, but she couldn't save face, so she simply grabbed a chair and sat in the corner farthest from Gu Xichao.
Seeing that Gu Xichao didn't move. She urged again: "Why don't you eat?"
The person sitting on the chair was stunned for a moment before picking up the chopsticks and taking a bite.
At this time, there was a noise in the corridor.
Su Nianmei turned her head and saw that the light was shining on the man's head. Gu Xichao was walking towards the living room in a bathrobe. His hair was wet, with water dripping down his neck. His chest was not half open, only his collarbone was exposed, which gave off a sense of abstinence.
Su Nianmei almost spit out the water she had just drunk.
He glanced at the man sitting on the chair again.
With a click, the headlights were turned on.
The man put down his pocket watch and called out to Gu Xichao, "Brother." He then looked at Su Nianmei and called out, "Hello, sister-in-law."
The sound is light and makes people feel comfortable.
Gu Xichao sat next to Su Nianmei and naturally held Su Nianmei's hand. He introduced: "This is my younger brother, Gu Baiting. He came to Kyoto to discuss a business deal and will stay at our house for a few days."
Su Nianmei looked at Gu Xichao, then glanced at the man sitting on the chair. She was still immersed in shock and did not notice that Gu Xichao secretly held her hand.
She only knew that Gu Xichao had a younger brother, but she had never met him, and she didn't know that they looked so similar.
Now that the lights are on, you can still see the difference between the two men. Gu Xichao looks calm and steady, and just sitting there gives people a sense of security and aloofness. But maybe it's because of his long experience in the business world, but his younger brother is more peaceful and easy to get along with.
Su Nianmei asked: "Are you twins?"
Gu Xichao pulled Su Nianmei's hand, held it in his palm and squeezed it, saying, "No, Bai Ting is two years younger than me."
Gu Baiting put down his chopsticks, looked up at his sister-in-law, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Su Nianmei, saying, "A wedding gift."
Su Nianmei glanced at Gu Xichao, and the other party nodded.
I didn't hesitate and accepted it - it was a Plum watch, finely made. She said, "Thank you."
Gu Baiting continued to pick up the noodles with chopsticks. It was difficult to put down the chopsticks, so he had to eat the noodles in silence.
Gu Xichao saw that Gu Baiting had finally come, so she went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine, found some side dishes such as peanuts, then sat down and started drinking with Gu Baiting.
The two of us drank, one cup at a time, and ate a few bites of snacks from time to time.
Su Nianmei was sitting next to them and was also craving for wine. As soon as her hand touched the small cup, it was snatched away by Gu Xichao.
After the last experience of getting drunk, Gu Xichao was really worried about Su Nianmei drinking.
"Oh." Su Nianmei's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Xichao pitifully.
Gu Xichao drank the wine in the small cup and poured a small cup of water into her cup: "Just smell it to satisfy your craving, but don't drink."
Gu Baiting didn't drink much, and he started talking nonsense after a few drinks. When he heard what Gu Xichao said, he laughed and said, "My sister-in-law is not a child, why do you care so much, brother?"
After saying that, Gu Baiting was glanced at by Gu Xichao.
Gu Baiting also started to compete. He walked to Su Nianmei and put his arm around her shoulders. As soon as his paw touched her, he was slapped down by Gu Xichao.
Gu Baiting was still humming, not caring about his image, and squatted beside Su Nianmei to scold Gu Xichao, "Sister-in-law, my elder brother is getting older and older, and he is getting more and more backward. He has a nagging personality and wants to control you here and there. If you ask me, you can't have a man like this. Otherwise, you will suffer in the future."
When Su Nianmei heard this, her face turned red. She agreed with Gu Baiting but was happy in her heart.
Gu Xichao's face became colder and colder as he sat next to her, but Gu Tingbai was oblivious. He continued, "Sister-in-law, you have spoiled my eldest brother too much. Even his cooking skills have declined. The bowl of noodles I just ate was like a bottle of vinegar in your house being knocked over. It was so sour that my teeth almost fell out. Tell me, what's the point of having a man like this!"
Gu Xichao glanced at Su Nianmei, then glanced at Gu Baiting, and asked sinisterly: "Then what kind of man do you think is useful?"
Gu Baiting felt that he was in some danger, so he shrank his head, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Gu Xichao, shouting, "Drink!"
After several rounds of drinking, the night gradually deepened.
Gu Baiting sat on the ground, holding the bottle of wine tightly, and insisted on continuing to drink with Gu Xichao.
Gu Xichao asked Su Nianmei to go back to her room to sleep first, and he dragged Gu Baiting back to the room.
Not long after Su Nianmei lay down, Gu Xichao squeezed in.
The man reeked of alcohol and turned around and put his arms around Su Nianmei's waist.
Su Nianmei shuddered violently.
The man's warm breath fell on her ear and he said, "Wife."
Su Nianmei was about to kick the man away when Gu Xichao came up again, grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest, "Wife, look, it's beating, it's beating for you." Then he said in a coquettish tone, "Wife, I can't live without you."
Su Nianmei's hand was suddenly grabbed, and she heard Gu Xichao's series of cheesy love words, but she did not respond.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Xichao's Adam's apple, which rolled in the moonlight.
Gu Xichao rubbed his face against Su Nianmei's neck, and his stubble pricked her delicate skin, causing a slight itch. He said, "Wife, I miss you."
Su Nianmei's chin rested on the man's head, and she wanted to say something.
He reached out and poked the man's head, but there was no response.
She lowered her head and saw that the person next to her was sleeping soundly with steady breathing.
So, he was drunk?
She touched Gu Xichao's Adam's apple, hoping that he was telling the truth.
Early in the morning, Ji Yu'an came to Sujia Village alone. Lao Li sent him a clue a few days ago. Someone said that eighteen years ago, his sister was taken away by the mother of a soldier. The soldier was called Su Dazhuang. He retired that year and returned to his hometown, Sujia Village, after retirement.
After Ji Yuan finished the work at hand, he rushed to Sujia Village without stopping.
At six or seven in the morning, there were not many people in the village.
Ji Yu'an saw a tall and thin boy who looked like a student and was carrying a bag, so he stopped him.
Su Huailin was rushing to school when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw a man in a military uniform waving at him.
Su Huailin didn't know why, so he raised his hand and pointed at himself.
The author has something to say: It’s still two hours late!
