While making dumplings, Qian Chen chatted with Yue Hongming from time to time. Knowing that he was a soldier of the Beijing Military Region, he hesitated as he did not yet have deep feelings for him enough to stay in the country for him.
Yue Hongming also had a brief understanding of Qian Chen's situation. It was impossible for her to be with a foreign girl, and her marriage report would not even be approved.
Yue Hongming got up and went outside to light a cigarette. While he was puffing away smoke, Gu Xi came out: "How is it? Do you have feelings for me?"
Yue Hongming turned to look at Gu Xi with a gossipy look on his face: "What? Am I not waiting for you to get divorced? When will you get tired of Wang Xu?"
Gu Xi rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Come on, after you came here today, you've spent more time watching other people than I do."
Yue Hongming chuckled: "Why are you jealous?"
Gu Xi crossed her arms and looked at him with such certainty: "You don't need to have any more illusions about me. Wang Xu and I will definitely grow old together. You should look more at the people around you. Isn't Qian Chen good?"
Yue Hongming took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke, which seemed to release the turbid air in his chest. "It's easy for you to think about it. She is from abroad, her grandparents are in Shanghai, and I am usually in Beijing. The distance is too far, and just based on my identity, I won't pass the political review. I also have a farther goal to go to. I can't move forward myself, and I can't let the girl keep giving. I can't bear it."
Gu Xi looked at Yue Hongming: "You have been thinking about it for so long. I just want you to have a relationship. You are still a virgin. Have you already chosen a name for your child?
Admit it, you are moved. Sometimes, if you don't take the initiative, how can you know what the other person is thinking? If you don't work hard to move forward, the result will not be presented to you by itself.
You just think more and do less all day long. Your fiancée ran away with someone else, and I'm already married.
Think about it carefully. Happiness is not easy to come by. You just had it too easy in the past twenty years."
Yue Hongming fell into deep thought after hearing what she said. After his cigarette was burned out, he came to his senses and said, "You care about me so much, does that mean there is still hope for me?"
Gu Xi curled her lips and pointed inside the house: "Your hope is in the house."
Wang Xu happened to come out of the house and leaned against the door frame: "Baby, you've been eating and sleeping too comfortably these past two days, haven't you? You even have time to chat with other men. Before I get angry..."
Gu Xi was too lazy to listen to Wang Xu's nagging, so she walked towards him, pulled down his neck, and gave him a light kiss on the mouth. Without saying anything extra, she went straight into the house and pinched his butt again.
The whole process was graceful and neat, without any unnecessary movements or words, but in Wang Xu's eyes, she was as charming as a seductive goblin.
Yue Hongming saw the whole process and couldn't help but hissed: "Can you treat me as a human being?"
Wang Xu's face was full of excitement, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He couldn't suppress it at all, and finally gave up pretending, raised his chin proudly to Yue Hongming, turned around and followed me into the house.
Yue Hongming cursed angrily: "You are a love-brained bastard, you are shameless."
He walked outside to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke and then walked into the house.
The dumplings and glutinous rice balls in the house had been prepared. Aunt Wen asked Tian Congbao and Gu Chao to go home and carry the mahjong table over and placed it in the middle of the room.
Aunt Wen, Yuan Ping, Chen Minhua and Wang Jinlin were playing mahjong at the same table.
Gu Chao was serving tea, water and cutting fruit with Tian Congbao, Wang Xu and Gu Weiguo were busy in the kitchen, and Gu Xi was chatting with Qian Chen and Qian Jing. Girls can talk about anything, from food and fun to skirts and cosmetics.
Gu Chao cut three pieces of cake and placed them in front of the three people, then made some malted milk and brought them over to each of them.
Gu Xi deliberately let Gu Chao sit aside: "I haven't been back for a long time. Tell me what fun places there are in Shanghai. We can go out for a walk tomorrow if we have nothing to do."
When Gu Chao talked about entertainment, he was also very talkative: "You can go for a walk along the Bund, Huaihai Road, and Nanjing Road. There is also the Friendship Store. But you don't need to buy imported goods when you come back from abroad.
You can go to the Great World to listen to operas and watch magic shows, or go to the cinema to watch movies, eat authentic food, or take a walk or go boating in the park. All are nice. "
Qian Chen couldn't help but secretly ask, "Are there any dance halls? I've always heard that Shanghai's dance halls are fun, I want to go and see them."
Gu Chao immediately replied in a low voice: "I've only been to the Paramount twice. Night Shanghai, the city that never sleeps is not just for nothing. I must go and see it if I have the chance."
This aroused Gu Xi's strong curiosity: "I want to go and see it too. I have never been to a dance hall in my life. Gu Chao, you actually went to such a fun place without telling me. You are not innocent anymore. You are not a blank sheet of paper anymore. You have been stained with the colors that society has given you.
Tell me the truth, did you hug the pretty girl while dancing? Did you hug her waist? "
Gu Chao was speechless for a moment: "I went with my colleagues from work to invite clients. How could I go alone? I didn't hug anyone and dance with them. Please don't ruin my reputation."
Gu Xi snorted twice: "I don't believe it, unless you take me to personally identify it. Tomorrow night, leave Wang Xu behind and we go quietly. I will say that I am going to have dinner and a movie with Qian Chen."
Qian Jing's eyes lit up as she listened: "I want to go too. I haven't seen a dance hall either."
Qian Chen patted her head and said, "Children are not allowed to go. You and Congbao will cover for us at home. We can't let the adults find out. This mission is difficult and important. If you can help me with this, I will buy you a lipstick."
Because Qian Jing is young, her family is afraid that lipstick is bad for her health and does not allow her to wear lipstick. This made her obsessed with lipstick. Now she is torn between lipstick and the dance hall.
Finally, she chose lipstick with great sadness: "I promised you that I would cover for you and you would buy me lipstick. You can't go back on your word."
Qian Chen held out his little finger: "Pink, if I lie to you, I'm a puppy."
After Qian Jing made the promise, she became happy again. After all, it was a great pleasure to have her first lipstick of her own in life and not have to secretly use someone else's.
Gu Xi smiled and said to Tian Congbao, "If you keep watch, I will give you a reward. I will give you ten math problems. Don't let your brother know."
Tian Congbao...
Others also looked at Gu Xi speechlessly, their eyes seemed to say: Are you a devil?
"What are you hiding from me?" Wang Xu's voice came from behind, startling everyone, and everyone looked guilty.
Gu Xi quickly thought: "We put coins in the dumplings to symbolize good luck and fortune. We can't let you know. Only when you eat it can it be real."
Wang Xu said "oh", obviously not believing this lame excuse, but Gu Xi didn't want to say it, and he was too lazy to ask. After all, it wouldn't be a big deal.
