When teachers and students met again after many years, they were a little reserved at first, but after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Chief Gu stood up and clinked glasses with Teacher Wen, lowering the rim of his glass on purpose. At Chief Gu's age and position, there were very few people who would allow him to lower his glass when clinking glasses.
Wen Shouren did not refuse. The old man was thin, but his deep-set eyes were still bright. However, his face was already covered with wrinkles, like a crumpled rag.
Seeing his teacher like this, Chief Gu was filled with emotion and sighed, "Teacher Wen, so many of us students are eager to take care of you in your old age, why do you have to live in this small place?"
Wen Shouren smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old and can't get used to living in a high-rise building. This small courtyard is more comfortable. If you really want to show your filial piety, take the time to visit me more often, and I'll be happy too."
Seeing that the teacher had made up his mind, Chief Gu said, "Teacher, since that's the case, I won't force you. However, if Tong'er encounters any problems in the future, just let her come to me. I can handle everything perfectly."
Madam Gu interrupted, "Yes, yes, Mr. Wen, we will all treat Tong'er as our own daughter."
She really liked Wen Tong. Mrs. Gu felt that this girl had a rare quiet and calm temperament, which was different from those ladies in the Beijing circle who were vying for beauty.
Wen Tong lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Seeing Wen Tong like this, Madam Gu felt even more pity for her and couldn't help sighing, "Oh, how wonderful it would be if this were my daughter."
Gu Shaolun paused for a moment as he was picking up the food, and looked at Mrs. Gu and Wen Tong meaningfully.
This is not impossible. As long as he works hard, Wen Tong will become her daughter-in-law, and she will also become her daughter, right?
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Shaolun's mouth. He threw the food on his chopsticks into the water without even looking at it and chewed it twice casually.
Then, his expression suddenly changed.
Damn, it’s so spicy.
Gu Shaolun's tears started to flow naturally, and he realized belatedly that he had accidentally picked up a chili pepper, and it was an extremely spicy one.
After just one bite, Gu Shaolun felt half of his tongue was numb and he could no longer feel anything.
Wen Shouren was surprised and said, "Oh, he ate a chili pepper. This chili pepper is a special kind of pepper, very spicy."
Already felt it!
Gu Shaolun kept taking a deep breath. If Wen Tong hadn't been there, he would have wanted to spit out his tongue that was about to catch fire to cool it down.
Wen Tong stood up and said softly, "I have some herbal tea in my room to relieve the spiciness. I'll get it for you."
However, Wen Shouren's house was relatively small, and a group of people gathered in a narrow dining room to eat. Wen Tong happened to be sitting at the innermost part, and it was quite difficult for him to walk out.
Madam Gu pulled her hand and pushed her down: "Tong'er, please sit down and let Lun'er get it himself."
Wen Tong nodded and pointed, "It's on top of the desk in my bedroom. It's easy to see."
Gu Shaolun stood up and suddenly realized that he was about to enter Wen Tong's bedroom?!
I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that eating this chili was worth it.
Although girls nowadays are not as conservative as they were in the old days, and entering a girl's bedroom doesn't mean anything, Gu Shaolun still couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and his heart beat faster.
Gu Shaolun always felt that Wen Tong had a faint smell of milk, but he didn't expect that her bedroom also smelled fragrant.
As soon as you walk in, the air is filled with the faint, youthful and tender fragrance that belongs only to girls, which tickles the tip of your nose and even reduces the deadly spicy feeling in your mouth.
Thinking that this was Wen Tong sleeping, Gu Shaolun's heart began to beat fast and he subconsciously glanced at the bed.
The bed sheets were light blue, and the quilt was neatly folded and piled aside, with a pink plush rabbit doll placed on top.
So fucking cute.
Gu Shaolun felt his throat tighten, and the image of Wen Tong sleeping with her eyes closed while holding the bunny doll appeared involuntarily in front of him.
...Damn it, I can’t even think about this scene, it’ll really make me lose my temper.
Gu Shaolun felt an inexplicable heat all over his body. He didn't know if it was because of the chili pepper or because he had some inappropriate thoughts.
In order to hide his inner panic, Gu Shaolun grabbed the herbal tea on the table, unscrewed the bottle cap and took two big gulps. The sweet fruity flavor filled his mouth, diluting the spicy and tingling sensation of the chili pepper.
Gu Shaolun took several more gulps in a very unrestrained posture. The light yellow drink flowed down his sharp jaw and a few drops fell to the ground.
Gu Shaolun frowned, raised his hand to throw the empty drink bottle into the trash can, and wanted to take a tissue to wipe away the falling water droplets.
Under the tissue box was a thick, square notebook, which looked like a graffiti notebook. Gu Shaolun didn't have the habit of rummaging through other people's things, but the cover of the graffiti notebook made him pause.
Gu Shaolun hesitated for a moment and pulled out the graffiti book.
The cover of the book features a young boy wearing a clean sky blue school uniform, with sharp eyes and a bit of a lazy and ruffian air. With just a few strokes, the boy's demeanor is brought to life.
The facial features are also very clear, and they belong to him.
He looks very young, probably in junior high school.
Gu Shaolun felt his fingertips trembling slightly. He seemed to be vaguely aware of something and almost stopped breathing.
With trembling hands, he finished flipping through the thick book of graffiti. At that moment, Gu Shaolun couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.
