Chapter 6 Indifference
A sweet, salty, fragrant but not greasy aroma wafts into your nose. It is the unique aroma of braised pork, which increases your appetite as soon as you smell it.
Xiuzhu picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of braised pork. The piece of meat trembled slightly at the tip of the chopsticks and was put into the mouth along with the rice. Suddenly, a rich flavor burst out in the mouth.
The sweet and salty taste dances on your tongue like a beautiful melody.
The perfect combination of the smoothness of fat and the tenderness of lean meat makes every bite full of satisfaction.
The aroma of the sauce filled their mouths, leaving Xiuzhu and Yanming with an endless aftertaste.
This is hard for the other two people who are in the same space.
Gu Yu was fine, as he had never lacked food since he was a child. However, the sight of Xiuzhu eating with satisfaction still made him salivate a little.
But after hearing Yan Ming say that the braised pork was sold out, he decided not to go to the dining car to get food.
Before he got on the bus, the leaders of Yancheng gave him some food.
He took out the backpack from the bedside, took out a big red apple with gentle movements, and chewed it slowly.
Xiuzhu's eyes involuntarily fell on the apple in the hand of the handsome man opposite her.
Eating too much braised pork will make you feel a bit greasy. It would be nice to eat an apple to relieve the greasiness.
She hadn't eaten an apple for a long time, but there was no shortage of other food at home.
Father Lin earned 245 yuan a month, and the sugar and pastry coupons were more than enough for Xiuzhu and her mother to eat. Grandpa would also often send them foreign snacks that were only available in overseas Chinese stores.
But fruit coupons were too scarce. Lin's father was a deputy division commander, but he only had 5 kilograms of fruit coupons every month. She and her mother loved eating fruit so much that they would finish it in less than 10 days.
Looking at the fruit in the other person's hand, it exudes an enticing aroma and bright colors, making one's mouth water.
She restrained her gaze and looked away, licked her pink lips gently, and made a slight swallowing sound in her throat.
It was hard for Gu Yu not to notice that little boy's appearance. He felt amused and thought, he turned out to be a little greedy cat!
Mo Ming couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful, so Gu Yu took out another apple from the bag and handed it to her: "Apples won't satisfy your hunger, how about I give you an apple in exchange for your biscuits?"
This was the first time Xiuzhu heard Gu Yu speak.
His voice was low and magnetic, and he spoke slowly but clearly. There is a slight hoarseness in the tone, which adds a bit of wildness to the calmness.
Xiuzhu was tempted. She had a lot of cake and pastry tickets, so she could buy more cookies if they were gone. But apples were not something she could buy just because she had money. Exchanging them to satisfy her craving was really a thoughtful gesture for her!
However, we must not relax our vigilance against strangers, even if he is handsome. But who can guarantee that the bad guy will not be good-looking?
Her father told her since she was a child not to ask for boys' things. Well, even though people said it was an exchange, she was also taught in her previous life not to talk to strangers casually.
Although Uncle Yan is extremely powerful, he is not very smart.
With a plan in mind, she looked away, restrained her expression, and replied in a cold and distant voice: "Sorry, it's not necessary."
Gu Yu's gentle smile faded.
He has been a child prodigy since childhood, with a prominent family background and outstanding abilities, and he has never been looked down upon by others.
He also had biscuits in his backpack, but when he saw her greedy look, he said that.
The other person doesn't care, and he doesn't have the energy to curry favor with someone who doesn't like him.
With a cold smile on his face, he said, "Okay then."
Chen Yuling looked at the two annoying people opposite her eating so happily while she could only eat sesame pancakes, and her resentment deepened.
It was considered good for ordinary people to have a big pancake, which cost 4 cents a piece.
But placed in front of Xiuzhu's various snacks, some of which are printed with foreign patterns, it looks a bit shabby.
When he heard that Gu Yu wanted to exchange apples with that woman and was rejected by her ignorantly, he sneered in his heart.
She just saw that the watch on Gu Yu's hand was a foreign product and cost more than 1,000 yuan.
Last year, when the old lady of the Yuan family was entertaining guests, she saw it in the hands of a guest’s son.
At that time, the wives of officials all tried to curry favor with the guest and even gossiped about the price of the watch behind his back, so she was deeply impressed.
Gu Yu's identity is definitely not simple. If she can get close to him, she will be very successful. She doesn't need to curry favor with her aunt or consider the faces of the Yuan family.
Besides, he is so handsome. In my entire life, I have only seen the son of that distinguished guest who can compare with him.
Thinking back to those ugly things my aunt introduced to me, I felt so disgusted that my thoughts became more firm.
"Comrade Gu, I have some sesame cakes here. They taste pretty good. I'll give you some to try. I can't finish them all by myself anyway."
Isn’t gentleness and thoughtfulness what men like most? It just so happens that there was a person who didn’t understand romance before.
"Thank you, but no thanks." Gu Yu suppressed his impatience and politely refused out of habit.
"You think my biscuits are not as delicious as Comrade Lin's."
"Then you should eat less to fill your stomach. Dinner is still a while away. What if you get hungry?" Chen Yuling failed to strike up a conversation with Gu Yu and couldn't help feeling anxious.
This trick had always worked for her before, so why didn't Gu Yu play by the rules?
No, I'm reading a book. Comrade, please don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. "Gu Yu didn't have much patience for this insignificant person.
But his eyes caught a glimpse of Xiuzhu's expression as she watched the show.
The depressed mood in my heart suddenly disappeared, and there was a sense of inexplicable happiness.
I saw her bright eyes wide open, and her tender little white ears seemed to be standing up.
What a versatile kitten.
Xiuzhu did watch the show for quite a while. There weren't many entertainment activities in those days, and it was rare for her to be able to eat melons on the train, so she was very interested in watching the show.
However, men don’t seem to like being too proactive, so she should act a little more indifferent in the future. She needs to learn and study these things.
After all, she never lived to adulthood in both of her lifetimes and had no experience in love.
Chen Yuling was extremely frustrated, but she also knew that too much is as bad as too little, so she could only look for another opportunity.
Adjust your mindset and present yourself as a gentle and considerate person.
Softly said: "Okay, then I won't disturb Comrade Gu's rest."
After eating the melon, Xiuzhu felt the air become quiet.
She lay on the bed, moving her legs contentedly, and flipping through the picture book she brought from home with her long and slender hands.
The fingers are gently bent, and every joint looks so elegant, as if they are works of art carefully carved by nature.
Boom boom boom…
Suddenly, a rapid and forceful knock on the door broke the silence in the box.
