I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 413 [Wei Lin Song Qi] Do you like me? Do you still like me?

Gu Chao Xing looked at it for a while. The cold wind blew by outside, making his body feel a little wavy.

 He squeezed his hands to keep warm. Thinking of Grandma Gu's reaction in the afternoon, Gu Chao's heart sank. He pursed his lips and turned to look at the falling snowflakes outside the door.

 Having almost finished eating the noodles, Wei Lan pursed her lips and turned her head. She saw a broad back and a head that was slightly tilted up to look at Xue Ye.

Wei Lan couldn't see the expression on Gu Chao's face at this time, but she could feel a layer of loneliness hanging over him.

 Very lonely.

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, strolled over and sat side by side with him, looked up at the dark night sky, and asked in a soft and slow voice, "What's bothering you?"

 “Tell me about it?” Wei Lan tilted her head.

Her dark and slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and she had a bright smile on her face. The warm light shone on her body, coating her with a light halo.

 It seems to warm people's hearts.

Gu Chao was stunned.

This delicate girl can always bring a little bit of warmth and light to him when he is feeling depressed.

With a moment of relief in his heart, Gu Chao opened his coat, took out an old photo from the inner pocket and handed it to Wei Lan.

  Old photos are really old. The picture is gray and white, with two cross-shaped creases in the middle. The corners have been corroded, leaving a few pale traces like snowflakes.

 The photo shows a man and a woman.

The woman has a pretty face, her black hair is permed in period-style curls, and she is sitting on a chair wearing a long white dress. She is holding a little boy wearing a tiger head hat and a tiger head in her hands.

The man had his hair parted to the side and wore a long mandarin jacket. He stood upright behind the woman with his long and fair figure. He put his big palm on the woman's shoulder, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his lips slightly, and had an elegant and humble smile all over his face.

As if to get the little boy to look at the camera, the woman looked as gentle as water and pointed her finger in the direction of the camera, and the scene was frozen at the moment when the little boy looked at the camera.

 Gu Chao's mother went to a foreign school. The man in the photo looks very similar to Gu Chao.

Wei Lan understood in an instant. The hand holding the photo couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her eyes were full of heartache.

 She hugged one of Gu Chao's arms with her backhand and pressed her cheek against it.

Excessive fierce, too hurting people, too soft and not protecting themselves. What kind of tolerance must be below all to carry the entire home while being stronger than to carry the whole home.

If it weren't for the changes of the times, Gu Chao would have always been happy, right?

Gu Chao should also become a humble gentleman like his father, instead of being reduced to a lone wolf carrying a heavy burden under pressure.

Although Gu Chao and his father have different temperaments, they look similar. Thinking of the crackling noise in the kitchen this afternoon, it was probably not accidentally knocking something over.

Is it because the appearance and hairstyle of Gu Chao and his father are almost the same, which reminds Grandma Gu of the sad past?

　　Because I felt uncomfortable thinking about my beloved son and daughter-in-law who died young, I rested early.

is that so?

 That’s it.

"I'm sorry..." Wei Lan frowned, her eyebrows drooped, her eyes were red and she murmured in a low voice, "I...did I get into trouble again?"

 The tone is full of self-blame.

"Grandma just thought about the past." Gu Chao looked at the backyard with a thin layer of snow. He held Wei Lan's hand and intertwined their fingers. His voice was so low and soft that it almost blended into the night. "But she was happy in her heart, because I met you."

 The appearance of Wei Lan has changed the Gu family so much that Grandma Gu can see it all.

It is sad to think of the past, Grandma Gu is, and so is Gu Chao.

 But those who are alive always have to move forward.

 The past cannot be a stumbling block that restricts his steps.

"I'm very happy to meet you, too." Wei Lan leaned on his shoulder, frowning slightly, and her tone suddenly became brisk, "In this case, are you ready?"

As if worried that Gu Chao would not understand what she meant, Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled slyly, "Your future father-in-law and mother-in-law are not that easy to fool."

"Of course." Gu Chao raised his brows, showed a slight smile, kissed Wei Lan gently on the lips, and swore domineeringly, "I will let them know that there is no one more suitable for you except me."

   *

There was a "squeak" sound of the bus braking at the door. Song Qi took a dollop of alabaster and wiped it away hastily. She grabbed the army green one-shoulder bag on the sofa and ran out, "Mom, I'm out!"

"You just came back, and the stool hasn't warmed up yet. Where are you going?" Before Mother Song could finish her words, the entrance door slammed shut, and the walls of the room trembled.

Song Ma exhaled from her nose, put her hands on her hips like a kettle and said to the middle-aged man next to her: "You too, the girl just came back from the country, and you didn't ask a question. After all, is it still your seed?"

Father Song clicked his tongue, frowned and sighed, "What's the point of lecturing me here? When she got home in the early morning, you told her about Wei Lin, why didn't you think about it?"

If Wei Lin didn't tell him about meeting his daughter, he might not know what time he would sleep at home.

 “Don’t I feel sorry for the girl?”

Song's mother kept talking endlessly, Song's father plucked his ears, shook out the newspaper and turned his back.

On the other side, the bus stopped at the Temple of Heaven Park. Song Qi pressed her thunder cap on her head, jumped off the bus, and went straight to Tiandao Square.

Song Qi walked around one ancient gate after another, and when she saw the tall figure standing with his back to her on the other side of the square, Song Qi slowed down.

 After joy comes worry.

 Wei Lin, do you want to cut off the relationship with her?

 In fact, there is no need, she...

She never thought about tying him up, let alone using the matter of accompanying Wei Lan to the countryside as a bargaining chip.

 Wei Lan is his sister and her friend.

 The small square was deserted. Because it was still early and there were few people, it seemed a little deserted.

 Wei Lin stood a little cold, pacing back and forth when he saw the girl standing not far behind him, and was stunned for a moment.

The girl's skin used to be fair, but now it is wheat-colored and even a little dark, which shows that she has suffered a lot after going to the countryside.

 Wei Lin's throat rolled, but for just a moment, he raised a smile and walked towards the girl, "Comrade Song Qi!"

Song Qi had been looking at Wei Lin and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that his face looked much better than before.

 With a warm smile, in my heart

Seeing that Wei Lin was getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but take a cautious step back.

 Come, come, are you about to hear bad news?

"Long time waiting." Song Qi tried her best to smile and pretended not to care, "Long time no see, Wei Lin."

 But, it’s so difficult.

The corners of her mouth curled up for less than two seconds, then dropped quickly, and her eyes turned red.

Song Qi lowered her head and sniffed. When she raised her head again, a smile appeared on her face, "I heard from my mother that you came to me for something. What is it?"

"This, this." Wei Lin's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly. Under the warm morning sun, they appeared amber, warm and sunny.

He touched his head, turned sideways and looked at the pigeons parked on the eaves of the palace in the distance, touched his head and smiled, "It's a bit cold standing here, talk while walking?"

Song Qi nodded, "Okay."

The two of them were walking on the path of the Temple of Heaven Park. Wei Lin asked Song Qi about her life after going to the countryside.

Song Qi answered truthfully, thinking that Wei Lin wanted to know Wei Lan's situation but was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she tried her best every time and took the initiative to direct the topic to Wei Lan.

Moreover, because Song Qi and Wei Lan met less often, there wasn't much they could say. In the end, Wei Lan was no longer involved, and the relationship between the two became awkward questions and answers. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

 Fortunately, the sun is getting higher and there are gradually more and more people in the park.

Wei Lin thought for a moment and stopped to ask for advice, "There is a new snack bar in Chongwenmen. You haven't been there just now, right? Do you want to go and try it?"

 “…Okay.” Song Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.

This feeling is so irritating, even though I know what the next result will be, I still feel greedy.

Since this is the last time to live in peace, then...

Then let’s indulge once.

 The two of them went to Chongwenmen, Wangfujing, and then Tianqiao Cinema.

Song Qi took the train back to Beijing all night, packed up and went to bed. The bed was not yet warm, so she got up and started packing again to see Wei Lin.

 Basically no rest.

While watching a movie in the cinema, the surroundings were dark and I was sitting. I couldn't help it, so I leaned on the chair and fell asleep.

 Wei Lin turned his head and stared at Song Qi's side face in the darkness.

The little girl has short ear-length hair and is very cute, but she seems to have not rested well, and there is a faint cyan color under her eyes.

He stretched out his long, bamboo-like hand, but hesitated and clenched it into a fist halfway.

  Repeated this process over and over again, and finally gently raised the girl's head toward him.

 Let her lean on his shoulder, she should...

Can it be more comfortable?

 The heavier his shoulders, the better his mood.

Wei Lin retracted his hand, curved the corners of his lips, and looked back at the **** and white screen in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the moment he turned his head, the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the gaps in her eyes flashed with moisture.

Watched two movies in succession. When they came out of the cinema, it was already dark outside. The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. After that, Wei Lin took Song Qi home.

"It's only around six o'clock now. I can still catch the last bus. You can just take me to the bus. You don't have to take me home." Song Qi tightened her scarf and walked forward with her own shadow under the dim street lights. .

Her home is a bit far from the city. If Wei Lin sends her off, it will be very troublesome to come back.

"Yeah." Wei Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded with a gentle smile, "Then I'll take you to the station."

"You...are you looking for me today just to watch a movie?"

As he approached the station, Song Qi suddenly slowed down, tilted her head and looked at Wei Lin seriously.

 Wei Lin has a lot of similarities with Wei Lan, but the biggest difference is that Wei Lan is outgoing and Wei Lin is shy.

When Song Qi looked over, Wei Lin subconsciously moved his eyes away, and responded with a vague response, "Yeah."

He seemed to think that this answer was a bit dry. He laughed twice and said, "There shouldn't be a movie theater in the place where I go to the countryside, right? It's just right if I can take care of you."

Wei Lin put his hand in the pocket of his military coat, shook it and tried to take it out, but in the end he didn't.

Song Qi looked at him seriously for a while, making Wei Lin feel embarrassed. She laughed again, "Thank you, I like it very much."

 The bus turned and headed this way dozens of meters away.

"The car is coming!" Song Qi picked up her steps and trotted, "I have to go!"

 “Yeah, okay.” Wei Lin agreed, but couldn’t help but follow.

Seeing that the distance between him and Song Qi was widening, Wei Lin suddenly called out to her, "Song Qi!"

 “Huh?” Song Qi turned to look at him, with a bright smile on her face.

 The glare of the sun.

 Wei Lin couldn't help but be startled.

“It’s okay, I just want to tell you that I’m very happy to see you today on New Year’s Eve.”

"Me too." Song Qi raised her lips, waved her hand at Wei Lin, and turned around with tears in her eyes.

Time flies so fast, one day passed so quietly.

Song Qi wiped her tears, pursed her lips and smiled as she stepped on the bus, "While studying, I produced at the same time, overcoming difficulties, and the enemy was frightened. Hello comrade, buy a ticket to Xuanwumen."

 …

 Wei Lin lowered his head and took out a silk scarf from his pocket.

 Pink is the favorite style among Beijing girls.

The bus started and moved forward slowly. Wei Lin clenched his silk scarf tightly and followed suit, "Song Qi, wait a moment..."

After running for a while, Wei Lin put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily. The bus was no longer in front of him.

"I have something else to tell you..." Spreading his palms and staring at the pink silk scarf, Wei Lin frowned and drooped his eyebrows, feeling indescribably disappointed.

 The next second, the palm of my hand was empty, the scarf was taken away, and a familiar voice came from my ears, "What is it?"

Song Qi smiled brightly. She raised the scarf high and looked at it. When she spoke, she looked sideways and said, "Is it for me? I like it very much."

Wei Lin was startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pull Song Qi into his arms, his nervous voice trembling, "Then do you like me? Do you still like me?"

 …

   *

During the Spring Festival, the sound of firecrackers was loud and every family visited to pay New Year greetings. In contrast, the Gu family was much deserted.

Due to the composition problem, except for Gu Sande who came over in the morning, and Gu Yang's family, the others were still afraid of damaging Chiyu and did not come to the door.

Although the adults didn’t come over, a bunch of little carrot heads came over one after another, and they all played well with Youlan and Ji Fengyao.

Wei Lan filled a small bowl of fruit candies for Youlan, and gave you two small bean curds for each one. At the end of the day, the whole courtyard was quite lively.

Grandma Gu made several kinds of meatballs. At night, Wei Lan cooked the soup base, cut the mutton slices and radishes, washed the lotus roots and spinach and put them aside. The family gathered together and had a hearty hot pot meal.

Considering that they had to catch the car the next day, Grandma Gu sent Wei Lan and Gu Chao back to the room to clean up early after dinner. She was busy in the kitchen for half an hour and tidied everything up before going back to the room to rest.

The rattan box in Wei Lan's room is wide open, and most of the luggage has been packed early in the morning.

She sat aside and counted the money notes, which she had saved from selling goat milk rolls. Gu Chao did not let her spend money and asked her to collect them alone.

 I counted more than one hundred and forty yuan.

Wei Lan divided out one hundred yuan and stuffed it into the rattan box, and put the other forty yuan back into the drawer and locked it.

After finishing these tasks, she took out neat piles of clothes from the closet and walked to Gu Chaofa's room.
