Chapter 157: Maybe he is crazy about holding his grandson
When they returned, Cen Wan and Gu Zhiyuan's baskets were full.
The difference is that Cen Wan's basket was carried by Shen Yixiao.
Gu Zhiyuan looked down at the basket in his hand. Although it wasn't heavy, the difference was huge!!!
She picked up a blueberry, put it in her mouth and chewed it twice. Her little face immediately wrinkled up. It was too sour.
Just like her now, sour and miserable.
She looked at Shen Yixiao and Cen Wan in front of her, then looked at Shen Xubai beside her, her dark eyes rolled around, and she slowed down her pace.
When she was a long way behind, she suddenly stumbled and said, "Ouch!"
Shen Xubai turned around: "What's wrong?"
Gu Zhiyuan squatted down, holding her ankle, and moaned softly: "I think I twisted it, it hurts..."
Shen Xubai frowned and squatted down: "Which foot?"
"Right foot."
Gu Zhiyuan was wearing a skirt today. The hem reached her knees, revealing her well-proportioned calves. The straps of her black Mary Jane leather shoes were wrapped around her fair and slender ankles, and her skin was dazzlingly white.
Shen Xubai glanced at it and saw no visible redness or swelling.
"It hurts? Can you still walk?"
Gu Zhiyuan didn't dare to exaggerate too much and said softly, "You should be able to walk, but you can't use too much force."
"It's not far from here. Should I help you? Or should I call someone for you?"
"Help me!" Gu Zhiyuan chose the first move without thinking. After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed too excited and slowed down his tone. "Just help me."
Shen Xubai reached out to take her basket and was about to help her stand up, but he saw her reaching out to pick up the fruits that had been scattered on the ground one by one.
As he picked them up, he muttered quietly, "My aunt planted these herself, and I picked them myself. They can't be wasted."
Shen Xubai was slightly startled and looked at her with lowered eyes.
"alright."
After picking up the things, Gu Zhiyuan looked up, ready to let Shen Xubai help her.
Unexpectedly, he simply stretched out his forearm, clenched his fingers into a fist, and faced his palm.
Gu Zhiyuan: “…”
Gentleman's hand?
Who on earth invented this thing?!
She reluctantly put her hand on it and said, "Well, it's better than nothing."
The forearm under the palm is strong and firm, and even through the cloth, one can still feel the scorching temperature.
She moved her fingertips slightly and squeezed it hard. It was hard!
Have muscles!!!
Gu Zhiyuan licked her dry lips and looked sideways at Shen Xubai.
He was a head taller than her, and from this angle, she could just see his sharp profile and sexy Adam's apple.
It’s a pity that the shirt buttons are buttoned tightly and the collarbone cannot be seen.
However, as his breathing rose and fell, one could just see the shirt fitting tightly against his coat, outlining a faint curve.
Based on her experience of reading countless comics, it must be quite a lot!
Well, Gu Zhiyuan glanced down unconsciously, it should be quite impressive too.
It’s a pity that I can’t see clearly.
Gu Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze regretfully, looked up, and met Shen Xubai's deep eyes.
A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Haha, it's almost here..."
Walking into the courtyard, Shen Xubai called Wang Sao: "Miss Gu twisted her foot, please help her take a look."
After saying that, he let go without lingering for a second.
Gu Zhiyuan looked at his back and cursed in her heart, "You are so heartless and ungrateful!"
When Cen Wan heard she had sprained her ankle, she rushed forward to check: "How did it sprain? Is it serious?"
Gu Zhiyuan glanced around and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I was just pretending."
A hint of surprise flashed across Cen Wan's clear eyes. Meeting her cunning expression, he couldn't help but laugh and gave her a thumbs up.
"Where are you injured, Miss Gu? I have some medicine for bruises and injuries. I've learned some knowledge about it. Can I help you take a look?" Mrs. Wang came forward to help her.
Gu Zhiyuan waved her hand: "No need, Mrs. Wang, it's not a big problem, I just need to rest for a while."
Cen Wan helped her sit aside. The servants had already set up a barbecue grill in the yard. Various fresh ingredients were neatly placed on the side, as well as countless fruits and drinks.
Shen Zhongting was not interested in these things, and was afraid that his presence would spoil the younger ones' interest, so he greeted them and went to eat his lunch.
Chen Xubai seldom ate such greasy food, but Wen Xianyun had told him not to be impolite when entertaining guests, so he had to attend.
After everything was ready, Wen Xianyun sent the servants away. She looked at Cen Wan and smiled gently, "Wan Wan, just ask Xiao Yi to grill something for you. This brat is great at cooking, even if he can't do much else."
"Zhiyuan, just sit next to Xubai. Call him if you want to eat or drink anything."
After saying that, she made a perfect exit.
Cen Wan sat under the tent and curled her lips, "Aunt, why are you making it so grand?"
Not only did they set up a barbecue grill and a canopy, but they also hung night lights all around and even put flowers on the table, creating an atmosphere of a romantic date.
Shen Yixiao took the skewers and started grilling them on the grill. He spoke lazily, "Maybe he's crazy about having a grandson."
Cen Wan: "..."
Has anyone said this about their mother?
"Baby, eat some fruit first, your husband will be ready soon."
Cen Wan: "I don't have a husband."
This self-proclaimed name is becoming more and more easy to pronounce.
Shen Yixiao turned a deaf ear to her and turned around to feed her a cherry, his voice tender: "Don't be afraid of your husband's hard work, it's all my responsibility."
Cen Wan: "???"
"Are you suffering from some kind of hysteria?"
"Or is it an auditory hallucination?"
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said seriously: "Yes, do you have medicine?"
Cen Wan: "..."
She couldn't even begin to match that level of shamelessness.
She simply turned around and looked at Gu Zhiyuan and Shen Xubai on the side.
The two sat side by side in front of the grill.
Shen Xubai took off his coat, unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a thin forearm.
He flipped the grilled meat skillfully, and Gu Zhiyuan stared at him intently: "You can cook too?"
Shen Xubai's hands didn't stop moving: "Yeah, I know a little."
In their house, if you don’t know how to cook, you will get poisoned.
Gu Zhiyuan sat on a stool, her legs dangling in the air, swaying slightly. Amidst the lingering smoke, Shen Xubai's aloof and indifferent demeanor seemed to fade.
It seems that it is not so far away.
Her straightforward and burning gaze was so strong that even if Shen Xubai tried his best to ignore it, he could still feel it clearly.
He turned his head, and Gu Zhiyuan's eyes didn't shy away from him, but instead smiled at him. Her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent, reflecting the light behind her, as if filled with tiny starlight.
A ripple appeared in Shen Xubai's deep eyes, but it quickly faded away. He picked up the barbecue beside him and put it on the plate. His voice was calm and cold: "It's cooked."
Gu Zhiyuan took the plate and looked at the sizzling barbecue. She swallowed her saliva and looked at him with a gleam in her eyes: "Chen Xubai, how come you are so amazing? You can even grill meat!"
She bit a piece of meat and squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Even if you don't become a boss, you will definitely be successful if you open a barbecue stall!"
“This is the best BBQ I've ever had!”
…
Cen Wan took the skewers that Shen Yixiao had grilled for her, and ate while laughing. Zhizhi had such a mouth that he could even bring a corpse back to life.
The emotional value is maximized.
I don’t know how Shen Xubai felt after hearing this.
Anyway, she was very happy to hear it.
She was listening intently when she suddenly felt a pulling sensation on her hand. She turned around and saw Shen Yixiao biting off the last piece of her flesh. Her eyes widened.
Shen Yixiao looked at her with dark eyes: "I'm here, where are you thinking?"
"From now on, put up a big sign at the door that says - Gu Zhiyuan and dogs are not allowed to enter."
Cen Wan was at a loss for words: "Chen Yixiao, can you please stop being jealous?"
"If Big Brother really gets together with Zhizhi in the future, do you think he will help you or her?"
Shen Yixiao snorted coldly: "We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, now, take your eyes back from them."
"Stingy."
While the two were arguing, Wen Xianyun was leaning against the glass in the tea room by the window, watching with great interest.
"It's rare to see your son choking like this. I'm glad you found someone who can help him."
"We should dampen his arrogance and make him talk nonsense."
Shen Zhongting sat at the tea table, holding the teacup with tweezers while heating it, and glanced back: "That's your son too."
Wen Xianyun snorted softly: "You won't understand even if I tell you."
She looked to the other side again. Gu Zhiyuan was eating the skewers in one hand and handing them to Shen Xubai with the other: "Try it, don't you even try what you grilled yourself?"
Wen Xianyun's lips kept curling up, and he sighed at the end: "When will Xu Bai finally come to his senses?"
Shen Zhongting was puzzled: "Let the children decide for themselves. If you keep pushing the little girl from the Gu family towards him, it will backfire."
Wen Xianyun glared at him: "What do you know?"
"Xu Bai's dull personality makes him perfect for a lively and lovely girl like Zhi Yuan. Don't you like Zhi Yuan?"
Shen Zhongting quickly explained: "That little girl knows everything about us, is sweet-mouthed and cute, it would be great if she could be our daughter-in-law. But it's not a question of whether we like her or not, it depends on your son."
Wen Xianyun crossed his arms: "I think Xu Bai will like it!"
"Okay, okay," Shen Zhongting quickly agreed, "I like it, I like it. Don't be angry."
Wen Xianyun: "Don't talk to me, I'm so annoying, you're just as dead as your son!"
Shen Zhongting, who was struck by an unexpected disaster: "..."
