Chapter 8
The next moment, Aunt Xu's voice confirmed her guess.
"Qingyue is back, look who's here?"
Gu Qingyue put on her slippers and walked into the living room.
Su Yanli was also there. Gu Hengsheng was dressed casually in a black crew-neck sweater and blue jeans. Su Yanli said with a smile, "Qingyue, your third uncle is here."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue looked at the man sitting on the single sofa and greeted him as she was told.
Gu Hengsheng asked, "Just finished class?"
"Yes." Gu Qingyue nodded and said to Su Yanli, "Uncle Su, I'll go upstairs and put my things down first."
Su Yanli nodded twice: "Go."
When Gu Qingyue went upstairs, she heard the conversation between Su Yanli and Gu Hengsheng behind her.
"Have you found a place to stay?"
"I've asked my assistant to find him. He's staying in a hotel for now."
"If you don't mind, you can stay here for two days."
......
Gu Qingyue didn't hear what was said afterwards. She walked up the stairs holding on to the room, still wondering whether he had accepted Uncle Su's invitation.
Until I went downstairs, I finally got the answer I wanted.
He hadn't agreed to stay at the Su family, but he would come tomorrow for Gu's mother's birthday. Gu Qingyue was a little excited, but she didn't think about the reason for her joy.
Su Xi raised her hand and bumped her arm. Gu Qingyue went to look at her. Su Xi leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Everyone in your Gu family has a good face, and this Gu Hengsheng is the best."
Gu Qingyue propped up her chin and praised her: "You have a good eye, I think so too."
Su Xi laughed: "Why, you look so proud of it?"
Gu Qingyue felt a little guilty: "Didn't you praise the Gu family for having such a good face? It seems that I am one of them. Isn't it worth being happy?"
Su Xi reached out and pinched her face lightly: "Yes, you are right."
Gu Qingyue smiled and turned around to see Gu Hengsheng getting ready to get up. Su Yanli said, "Qingyue, go see your uncle off."
Gu Qingyue and Gu Hengsheng walked out the door. Gu Hengsheng was holding the car keys when the little girl behind him suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to wait for my mother to come back?"
Gu Hengsheng said, "I have something urgent to deal with. Please tell your mother for me."
"Okay." Gu Qingyue nodded, "Drive carefully."
Gu Hengsheng held the car door and said, "Go in, see you the day after tomorrow."
In the evening, Gu's mother came to Gu Qingyue's room and gave her a glass of milk.
Whenever Gu Qingyue stayed at home, her mother would ask her to drink a glass of milk before going to bed every night. This seemed to have become a habit. Even when Gu Qingyue lived in the dormitory, she needed to drink a glass of milk every night before she could fall asleep.
Mother Gu sat by the bed and said, "Did your third uncle come over this afternoon?"
"Hmm." Gu Qingyue took a sip of milk. "Uncle San came to Huai City. Is there something you want to take care of?"
"Your third uncle will probably stay in Huai City for the next two years," said Gu's mother.
"Oh, why?"
"It is said that he accepted an invitation from the city's Academy of Sciences. The Academy sent people to contact him in the early years, but he eventually returned."
"What's your major, Uncle San?"
"Environmental biology." Mother Gu frowned slightly. "I'm not very clear about your third uncle's field, but your Uncle Su knows more about it. If you're interested, you can ask him."
Gu Qingyue hummed, as if remembering something. She reached out and opened the drawer beside the bed, and took out a dark blue gift box with a silver satin bow on the box. "Happy birthday, Mom."
Mother Gu smiled with relief. Every year on her birthday, she was always the first to wish her happy birthday, no matter how many days in advance. Once, she even said it a whole week early, which made Mother Gu laugh and cry.
Mother Gu took away her empty cup and reminded her, "Go to bed early. Don't hide in the bed and play with your phone until two in the morning."
"knew."
After Gu's mother left, Gu Qingyue lay in the quilt for a while. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly realized that she had not washed her face. She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Su Xi was particularly particular about personal care, always saying that a woman's appearance was no longer presentable after the age of 25. Gu Qingyue, hearing her nagging, also took it a little more seriously.
After washing her face, she applied the skincare products that Su Xi had bought for her. By the time she was done, it had been almost twenty minutes.
Gu Qingyue turned off the bathroom light and lay down on the bed. After all this, the sleepiness she had originally felt was completely gone, so she had no choice but to reach for her cell phone to pass the time.
The next day, I naturally slept late.
When Shu Miaomiao called, she was still sleeping soundly with her quilt in her arms. She heard the phone ringing in a daze and raised her hand to fumble around. She opened her eyes, pressed the answer button, and closed her eyes again: "Hello"
"Oh my god, you finally answered the phone." It was Shu Miaomiao's voice on the other end. "No way, Gu Qingyue, don't tell me you haven't woken up yet?"
The sound of Shu Miaomiao gritting her teeth on the other end finally reminded Gu Qingyue that she had a date with Shu Miaomiao today. Before leaving school last night, she had agreed with Shu Miaomiao to accompany her to the movies today.
Gu Qingyue climbed out of the quilt, feeling somewhat guilty: "I'll be right there, Miaomiao, wait for me for a moment."
"Okay, see you in an hour."
"must."
Because time was short, she hurriedly washed her face and changed out of her pajamas. She didn't have time to put on makeup, so she took a lipstick and dabbed it on the corners of her lips, which made her face look a little more fresh.
When we arrived at the cinema, Shu Miaomiao was sitting on a round sofa with a bucket of popcorn in her hand and two bottles of Coke beside her.
Gu Qingyue approached: "Sorry, Miaomiao."
Shu Miaomiao deliberately put on a cold face and ignored her.
Gu Qingyue grabbed a handful of popcorn from her hand, brought it to Shu Miaomiao, and said flatteringly, "Then please eat some popcorn to make amends, okay?"
Shu Miaomiao was so angry that she laughed and said unhappily, "Miss Gu, I paid for this popcorn."
"Then after the movie, I'll treat you to a big meal?"
"Deal." Shu Miaomiao relaxed the corners of her mouth.
The two took the tickets, passed through the ticket gate, showed the movie tickets to the service staff, and then handed them two pairs of 3D glasses.
At this hour, the large theater wasn't crowded; the last two rows were empty. Shu Miaomiao was going to see a foreign film, "The Longest Ride," a romance film featuring a male protagonist who had a unique profession: a professional bull rider, or what's commonly known as a cowboy.
It's two hours long, at the end.
Shu Miaomiao sighed: "Qingyue, do you know what my biggest feeling is after watching this movie?"
"What?"
"I hope I can be as lucky as Luke and get a collection worth hundreds of millions of dollars by spending only 600 US dollars!" Shu Miaomiao said with a wink.
When the two of them came out of the theater, Gu Qingyue asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Japanese food, how is it?"
"Yes, there is a good one nearby. Su Xi took me there several times."
Shu Miaomiao said: "Your sister recommended it, it must be good."
The Japanese restaurant was located in an alley, a rather winding path. Surrounded by low, old-fashioned buildings, the two of them reached a sheltered area. The entrance was a stone gate, with a white curtain inscribed in Japanese beneath. Outside, bamboo groves lined either side, and deep, verdant moss grew between the cracks in the bluestone slabs, creating a tranquil and tranquil atmosphere.
Shu Miaomiao praised: "This place is nice."
The two of them lifted the lowered curtain and walked in.
Gu Qingyue has a membership card of this Japanese restaurant. Su Xi applied for it for her when she brought her here, but unfortunately, she didn't have it with her today.
Led by a waiter, the two men walked through a long corridor and stopped in front of a small private room. The waiter opened the door and invited the two men in.
Gu Qingyue handed the menu to Shu Miaomiao and said, "The foie gras sushi here is good. Let's have one."
"good."
In addition to foie gras sushi, the two also ordered salmon sashimi, sukiyaki, and charcoal-grilled salmon. Gu Qingyue wanted to order a few more dishes, but Shu Miaomiao said, "That's enough, that's enough, Miss Gu. I'm still losing weight. I can't help but suspect that you are deliberately interrupting my weight loss plan."
Shu Miaomiao is not actually fat, at most she has a well-proportioned figure, but she has always pursued the beauty of skinny figure, so every few days she would clamor to lose weight.
Gu Qingyue smiled.
The two drank sake and talked about school.
Shu Miaomiao said, "He Qing's birthday is next Friday. She said we'd have dinner together then, and her boyfriend's roommate would also be there."
Gu Qingyue was absent-minded: "Oh, really."
"It is said that one of his boyfriend's roommates is very pretty. Xinhui saw her once."
Jiang Xinhui is another roommate.
Gu Qingyue nodded and said, "What's his boyfriend's major?"
"physics."
Gu Qingyue suddenly smiled. What a coincidence, Song Xiaoshu was also a physics major.
Shu Miaomiao noticed that she looked strange: "What's wrong?"
"No." Gu Qingyue said, "I suddenly remembered that when I was in Yanjiang, I met someone who also majored in physics."
"Oh." Shu Miaomiao licked her chopsticks, not very interested.
During this time, Gu Qingyue went out to the bathroom. When she came back, the door of the next room was opened and a person came out.
Gu Qingyue stopped walking until the man smiled and called her, "Qingyue."
Gu Qingyue took a few steps forward and said, "Third Uncle, why are you here?"
"I came here to eat with some colleagues from the Academy of Sciences." Gu Hengsheng asked, "How about you, are you here with your family?"
"No, with friends."
Gu Hengsheng nodded twice. Gu Qingyue could smell a faint scent of cigarettes on him, but she didn't know if it was his own or if he had picked it up from someone else's cigarette.
I never saw him smoke during the few days I was in Yanjiang.
She was lost in thought when suddenly the door of the box behind her opened.
Someone called him, "Hengsheng."
Gu Qingyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man with a pair of peach blossom eyes, not unlike those of today's energetic young men. The man was wearing a black shirt and had his hand on the door. He glanced at Gu Qingyue, his eyes revealing an inexplicable meaning. "Who is this?"
"Xiangyang." Gu Hengsheng introduced her in a gentle voice, "My niece, Qingyue."
The man raised his eyebrow and sneered faintly: "When did you have a niece this old and I didn't even know it?"
Gu Qingyue understood what the man meant and probably thought that she was some secret lover of Gu Hengsheng.
"Don't joke, Xiangyang, she is still a child." Gu Hengsheng said.
