Chapter 82 This is what you are wrong about
"Uh, nothing happened." She couldn't tell him that she saw someone who looked a lot like her brother.
In this world, her biological brother is the fat man in Zhouchang, and he might still be in jail now.
Gu Xiyue's eyes darkened, he nodded, and reminded, "Fasten your seat belts."
The car window was open, and the smell of cigarettes was much lighter. I didn't know what brand of cigarettes it was, but it wasn't bad. Zhou Nuan didn't like men who smoked, especially her father and brother, who were heavy smokers. The house was filled with the smell of cigarettes when they were around.
Later, after her brother had a little nephew, he forced himself to quit smoking. She hadn't smelled cigarettes for a long time. In addition, when she suddenly saw a stranger who looked like her brother today, she couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
However, she had never seen Gu Xiyue smoke before, so she couldn't help but wonder, "Have you always smoked?"
Gu Xiyue's body stiffened, then he turned to look at her, his eyes deep and complex.
After a long while, he finally forced a sound out of his throat, "Hmm."
Another pause of a few seconds.
"I used to smoke all the time, but then you didn't like it so I smoked less. Didn't you know that all along?"
Zhou Nuan broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ah? Have you been smoking before? I forgot..." She said embarrassedly, smiling very unnaturally.
Gu Xiyue looked at her steadily, with inquiring eyes, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhou Nuan felt uneasy when she was looked at, and thought to herself that she was Zhou Nuan now, and Zhou Nuan was her, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
She straightened her waist and said, "You didn't come back often before. Isn't it normal that I can't remember clearly?"
There was a hint of grievance in her tone. Gu Xiyue touched his nose and looked away.
"Where do you want to go?"
The danger was over, and Zhou Nuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, after hearing these words, he began to feel restless again.
I have been in Haicheng for so long and I haven’t gone out for a walk yet. “I want to go to Happy Valley.”
"Where is that?"
Huh? Is there no Happy Valley yet?
"Then, let's go to the Eye of the Earth." Zhou Nuan said cautiously.
“It’s under construction and not open yet.”
"Ah, it hasn't been built here yet..." Zhou Nuan couldn't help but mutter.
Gu Xiyue kept his hands on the steering wheel. The car didn't move, but his attention was all on the people around him.
She didn't wear a cheongsam today. She just casually wore a lotus pink long-sleeved shirt and a cotton denim skirt. Her long hair was loose. Perhaps because she was afraid of the sun, she also wore a pair of frog-eye glasses, which were now pushed up to her hair.
Although her outfit was ordinary, she looked stunningly bright and her manners were generous and open, completely different from the timid country girl she used to be.
His hands gripping the steering wheel were not strained, and his face remained calm. "He Tao and his friends are on the East Coast today. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
East Coast! One of the most famous attractions in Haicheng.
I heard that the coastline there is very long and you can see beautiful sea views.
As an inland person, Zhou Nuan has a natural fondness for the sea. She always feels that she can never go there enough. It's a pity that she can't wear a bikini and play in the sea, but it's nice to go there and enjoy the sea breeze.
“Yes!”
The two drove to the East Coast. As soon as they got off the car, Zhou Nuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Compared with the famous East Coast of Zhonghai City in the current world, the East Coast here can be described as pristine. The endless coastline, except for a few fishing boats, can't see anything else. The beach underfoot is unmaintained and full of broken shells and small crabs.
There were two fishing houses with sheds at the entrance. A small group of people were sitting on the beach of one of them. He Tao and Tian Yanjing were among them. He Tao was saying something and looked very happy.
Hearing the sound of the car, several people looked over, and after seeing the figure walking in front, they all stopped.
"Oh my god, isn't that Lao Gu? Am I seeing things right? There's a woman following him?"
"Who is that woman? The Ten Thousand Years Freezer actually brought a woman here..."
He Tao turned around upon hearing the voice, and was immediately surprised when he saw Zhou Nuan and the other person clearly, "Brother Yue! Over here!!"
He stood up and ran over, waving his hands and shouting. Tian Yanjing looked at his back, with an indescribable expression on his face, "You will never guess."
He Tao ran up to the two of them in one breath, "Sister-in-law is here too? Come on, let's go together."
Gu Xiyue nodded and walked forward. Zhou Nuan followed behind him and asked He Tao in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
"We received bonuses yesterday, and Brother Yue gave us a day off today, so we thought of coming here to eat fresh seafood. Sister-in-law, did Brother Yue bring you here to eat fresh seafood as well?"
Zhou Nuan looked at the tall figure in front of her, ".. maybe."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the fishing shed.
There were quite a few people at the table. Zhou Nuan didn't know the others except Tian Yanjing and He Tao. When they saw them coming, everyone at the table stood up and greeted them.
"Old Gu."
"Brother Yue."
Pairs of curious eyes looked back and forth between her and Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
He motioned Zhou Nuan to come forward, "This is my lover, Zhou Nuan, Zhou Nuan, these are my brothers, Old Tian, there is no need to introduce me, there are also Li Yong, Wang Youzhi, Che Gongtang..."
He pointed at them one by one, and everyone he pointed at was shocked. After they reacted, they quickly gave her an embarrassed smile.
They are all very passionate men, with personalities very different from Gu Xiyue's, and no one knows how they became brothers.
The one called Wang Youzhi was very tactful. He kicked the tactless person next to him and said, "Stand up and make room for your sister-in-law."
The man reacted, but he was not angry. He stood aside holding his bowl and said with a chuckle, "Sister-in-law, sit down, sit down."
Zhou Nuan felt a little embarrassed and tried to decline but was ignored, so she had no choice but to sit down.
Wang Youzhi glanced at Gu Xiyue and then at Zhou Nuan, and suddenly said, "I haven't heard of anyone from Old Gu's family before, but now you bring him here... Are you introducing him to the brothers?"
Zhou Nuan paused, and glanced at Gu Xiyue: She originally thought he was taking her to see the sea view, and then she thought he was taking her to eat fresh seafood, but now it seems that he is here to clear her name.
I heard that to see whether a man cares about that relationship, just look at whether he introduces his girlfriend to his friends, so Gu Xiyue is...
Perhaps her expression was too straightforward, causing everyone to give her a smirk.
"Old Gu, this is where you're wrong. You've hidden such a beautiful sister-in-law at home and didn't let us know. You're hiding a beautiful girl in your golden house."
"That's right, Brother Yue, are you afraid that we will scare you, sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, my name is Che Gongtang. Although I am ugly, I am very gentle. Don't be afraid of me just because I am ugly. Does your sister-in-law know any sisters you can introduce to us?"
Before Che Gongtang could finish his words, he was interrupted by people around him.
"Go to hell, you have a younger sister but you don't introduce her to you. Isn't Old Gu afraid that he will have a little nephew who looks like you in the future?"
