night
Gu Family Old House
Even though Gu Jueye is very busy with work, he will always make time to come back two days a week to have dinner with his parents.
As a child, he was introverted, and doctors diagnosed him with autistic tendencies. His parents were busy with work and couldn't spend much time with him.
He grew up with his grandparents since he was a child, so he naturally felt closer to them.
After dinner
Gu Jueye did not leave immediately, but sat on the sofa as usual, watching the news with the old man for a while.
Grandma Gu cut some fruit and placed it next to Gu Jueye, then sat down on the sofa opposite him.
"You look even thinner than I've seen in a few days?"
Gu Jueye was wearing a cotton and linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up to just below his elbows, revealing a section of porcelain-white skin with well-defined muscles, which looked very strong and powerful.
"I weighed myself yesterday, and my weight hasn't changed."
He casually flipped through a page of the newspaper in his hand, a knowing look flashing across his handsome face.
Although he is very busy with work, he always sets aside at least an hour to exercise every morning, and his weight has remained at the original standard, fluctuating by no more than two kilograms.
Therefore, the old lady was clearly implying something.
Grandma Gu's eyes darkened slightly as she glanced at her grandson.
"That's because you're too thin and need to gain weight. This is what happens when you don't have someone around to take care of you."
Gu Jueye smiled without saying a word; the old lady's words were the key point.
"By the way, why haven't I seen you bringing Qianmo over lately?" Old Master Gu's gaze shifted from the television.
"She's too busy with her studies."
Grandma Gu frowned: "That's true. The senior year of high school is too full of classes. Where is there any time to go out? The kids these days really have a tough time at school. Qianmo looks too thin. She needs to be properly nourished. Aye, bring Qianmo to our house sometime this weekend. I'll cook her a nourishing medicinal meal."
"I'll ask her."
After probing for a while, Grandma Gu saw that the boy was very tight-lipped and refused to say how things were going between him and Qianmo.
It made the two elderly people very anxious.
"By the way, Jingting's wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy a couple of days ago. He weighs a full seven pounds and is very cute with his fair skin and chubby cheeks."
After finishing her sentence, Madam Gu glanced at Gu Jueye and said, "Speaking of which, Jingting is the same age as our Seventh Brother. According to seniority, he should call you Seventh Uncle. Now Jingting is married and has children. I wonder when our son will let me meet his future great-grandson."
Gu Jueye remained calm, unaffected by Old Madam Gu's words.
"Don't you already have great-grandchildren?"
Madam Gu was slightly taken aback, not immediately understanding the meaning behind Gu Jueye's words.
Gu Jueye chuckled lightly: "Jingting is your great-grandson."
Grandma Gu choked on her breath and it took her a long time to swallow it back down.
He stopped beating around the bush and said, "You brat, you know exactly what I mean, but you're deliberately changing the subject. I'm talking about you. You're not getting any younger, and you don't even have a girlfriend, let alone get married and have kids."
Gu Jueye felt a sense of urgency, as if he were being forced into this situation, and helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose: "She's still young."
He had considered marriage, but his age was now becoming a problem.
He was 27, she was not yet 20, and she was still a high school student. All the conditions did not allow him to consider this issue.
Madam Gu naturally understood who the "she" Gu Jueye was referring to was, and a smile appeared on her face.
"As long as you don't reject marriage, it's fine. Qianmo will be of legal marriage age after her birthday. There are many college students getting married in the news these days. If you're willing, your grandfather and I can help take care of the child."
Grandpa Gu also showed an approving expression, and even solemnly lectured: "Young people should know how to keep up with the times."
Gu Jueye: "..."
Gu Jueye stared at the two elders for a while, his well-defined knuckles gently patting their crossed thighs, and a strange light gradually appeared in his deep eyes.
Gu Jueye hadn't taken the pressure from the two elders to get married to heart.
Until I got home and received a phone call...
My phone rang as soon as I got home.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Qingjun's handsome face remained expressionless as he pressed the answer button.
A soft female voice came from the other end: "Ah Ye, do you have time now?"
"What's up?"
Today... is my birthday.
Gu Jueye said calmly, "Happy birthday."
After a moment of silence, the woman's voice, filled with expectation, said, "Ah Ye, I want to meet you. Even if we're friends, we shouldn't be so distant."
Gu Jueye remained silent.
He thought he had made his point clear enough to Ye Qianning.
If it weren't for his uncle's incident, he might never have had any contact with Ye Qianning again.
Many men are actually contradictory, driven by curiosity and vanity when it comes to pursuing women.
He might have had this instinctive reaction driven by male hormones ten years ago, but now he knows exactly what he wants.
After a year and a half of separation from Bai Qianmo, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol on the streets of a foreign country. Because he could not find her whereabouts, he was often drunk at home and could not sleep at night. As a result, for the first six months, he lived in a quagmire of despair and woke up every day in anger and longing.
