It's the weekend again. Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe had originally planned to take the children out to play, but when they woke up in the morning, Xiuxiu felt a little uncomfortable. It might be because her stomach caught a cold when she slept at night and she had diarrhea, so today's outing was canceled.
Xiuxiu, who was feeling unwell, was particularly dependent on Wen Nuan and stayed in her arms all the time, so Wen Nuan held Xiuxiu and sat on the stone bench in the front yard, watching Wang Jianshe play with his two sons.
Since the young couple was at home taking care of the children today, Mr. and Mrs. Wen called Mr. and Mrs. Wang to go for a stroll in the park together, while Xiaomei Wang made an appointment with her friends to go shopping together.
The young couple were playing with their children in the yard. Even Xiuxiu, who had just cried in the morning, was now smiling.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Wang Jianshe put his son, whom he was about to put on the pomegranate tree, to the ground and turned to open the door.
"Hello, who are you?" It was Gu Qing outside the door. He looked at the tall man who opened the door with a look of surprise.
"Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?" Wang Jianshe asked with some confusion when he saw a handsome young man outside the door.
"You, you are Xiao Nuan's boyfriend, right?" Although Wang Jianshe was not wearing a military uniform today, but only ordinary clothes bought by Wen Nuan, his upright figure and stern temperament still allowed Gu Qing to guess his identity easily.
"Yes, I am Wen Nuan's boyfriend Wang Jianshe. May I ask who you are?" When Wang Jianshe heard Gu Qing call her Xiao Nuan, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he still asked politely.
"Oh, I'm Xiao Nuan's neighbor brother Gu Qing. I grew up with Xiao Nuan. I have time today, so I came to see her and the child," Gu Qing said politely, but the content of his words made Wang Jianshe's eyes flash with a hint of coldness.
"Who is it?" Wen Nuan, who was in the yard, saw that Wang Jianshe had not come in, so she came over holding Xiuxiu.
"Xiao Nuan!"
Before Wang Jianshe could say anything, Gu Qing stretched his head to greet Xiao Nuan. Seeing Wen Nuan holding Xiu Xiu, he greeted Xiu Xiu again, "Xiu Xiu!"
“Uncle Gu!”
Xiuxiu, feeling much more comfortable, called out "Gu Qing" in a baby voice.
"Oh, Brother Gu is here, please come in," Wen Nuan said calmly, as if just an ordinary guest had come.
Wang Jianshe saw Wen Nuan's reaction and understood what was going on. A smile flashed across his eyes, "Please come in!"
Then he turned around and walked to Wen Nuan, "Let me hold Xiu Xiu. She is much heavier than before. Don't tire yourself out!"
"Oh, that's right. The little one is so heavy now. I've only been holding her for a short while and my arms are sore and painful," Wen Nuan said in a slightly coquettish tone as she handed her daughter in her arms to Wang Jianshe.
"Is your arm okay? How about I massage it for you?" After hearing what his wife said, all other thoughts were instantly thrown out of his mind, and Wang Jianshe looked at his wife nervously.
"Oh, no need, I can do it myself," Wen Nuan felt a little embarrassed because there were outsiders around.
Wang Jianshe still held his daughter in one hand and pinched Wen Nuan twice with the other hand, "Try pinching it yourself again. If you still feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately!"
"Okay, I got it!"
After the couple finished talking, they remembered that there was someone standing next to them.
After seeing the intimacy between the couple, Gu Qing's heart was instantly overwhelmed with bitterness. He already knew that Wen Nuan and his wife had a good relationship, but knowing is one thing and seeing it with his own eyes is another. Maybe he really should give up!
"Brother Gu, come and sit down. I'll get you a glass of water." Wen Nuan felt a little embarrassed to leave the guest aside.
Wang Jianshe looked calm, "Please sit here!"
Gu Qing suppressed the bitterness in his heart and smiled, "Okay, thank you Xiao Nuan!"
Wen Nuan returned to the room, poured a glass of water for Gu Qing, and then sat next to Wang Jianshe.
Wang Jianshe put Xiuxiu on his legs, held her with one arm, and put his other hand to Wen Nuan's arm and gently kneaded her.
In front of outsiders, Wen Nuan was embarrassed to be so intimate, so she gently pushed Wang Jianshe's hand, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, don't pinch it!"
Only then did Wang Jianshe take his hand back obediently.
"Brother Gu, is there anything that brought you here today?" Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qing and asked calmly.
"Oh, nothing much, I just happened to come here to do something, and I thought I hadn't come to see Teacher Wen for a long time, so I came to visit."
"Oh, my dad is not at home. Today is a rare day off, so my parents took my parents-in-law to the park!"
"Oh, in that case, I'll come visit Teacher Wen next time when I have time." Seeing Wang Jianshe suddenly today was a big shock to Gu Qing, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye, "I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, then we won't waste your time," Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe also stood up, "You should take this thing."
"It's just some fruits and cakes for the children. Leave them here!"
After saying that, Gu Qing turned around and strode towards the courtyard gate. If you look closely, you will find that his steps are a little messy. Wen Nuan did not notice this, but Wang Jianshe, who has keen investigative skills, did.
After Gu Qing left, Wen Nuan walked over and closed the gate.
"Who is this person?" Wang Jianshe asked pretending to be indifferent.
"He was a former neighbor of my grandpa's. We often played together when we were young. We haven't been in touch since something happened in my family. I met him by chance when I went out to eat with my parents some time ago. He came to see my father a few times later," Wen Nuan said simply.
While his wife was talking, Wang Jianshe carefully observed her expression and found that she really didn't take the man just now to heart, so he felt relieved.
Wen Nuan really didn't take Gu Qing to heart. She was not stupid, and she could see the burning look that Gu Qing occasionally cast on her. However, she was not Gu Qing's 'Xiao Nuan'. His 'Xiao Nuan' had left, and he was now a stranger to Wen Nuan. Would you take a stranger to heart?
The fact that Gu Qing had been here was soon forgotten by the couple as they were having fun playing with their children.
At noon, Wen's father and mother and Wang's father and mother brought back a big carp weighing more than four pounds. The family ate steamed fish happily, but because of Wen Nuan's indifference and Wang Jianshe's deliberate action, no one forgot to tell Wen's father and others about Gu Qing's visit.
