Acknowledge

The brothers sat down at the dinner table one after the other, and Gu Pingshao knew that Gu Xiao had died with honor, so he leaned over to greet him.

"Xiaoxi, how about the porridge, dad cooked it himself!"

"Dad, you must have forgotten to put salt, it's so bland that it doesn't even have a taste, I can only go out and look for vegetables to eat." Gu Xi raised his head with a smile, as if he wasn't the one who got angry not long ago.

Gu Pingshao doubted: "How could it be?"

Gu Xi: "But Mi is still quite soft."

Gu Pingshao: "This is the farmer's uncle."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Gu Xiao couldn't help but interject: "This shows that you still have a lot of room for improvement, right Gu Xi?"

On the other side, he smiled, lowered his head and drank the porridge, and didn't intend to participate in the topic anymore.

As if he had become the king of the cold, Gu Xiaowei pursed his lips invisibly and turned his head wildly, hoping to reduce some embarrassment.

He couldn't be hanged on a tree, even if he lost Gu Xi, Gu Xiao wouldn't be unable to survive, he still had a bunch of good buddies.Thinking of this, Gu Xiao reached into his pocket to touch the phone, got up silently and went back to the room.

Sitting on the bed staring at the number on the screen of the phone, his thumb approached and hesitantly moved away, Gu Xiao thought for a long time before gently tapping the dial.

beep...beep...beep...

The phone was connected, but there was no sound on the other side.

"Monkey, what happened today, I was wrong, I apologize to you."

"...Your punch hit my heart too."

"I'm sorry, I was not clear-headed at the time. Will I ask you to swing it back later? Just... forgive me this time." What happened to Gu Xi made him realize that if he doesn't care about some things, he will throw them away. Finding it back is very difficult.Sun Yi is his good buddy since he was a child, and he can't lose him no matter what.

"If you are willing to make this call, I will recognize you back."

Gu Xiao was moved for a while, and hurriedly said: "You can come back another day."

"Okay, is this still Gu Xiao? But... I have to ask a few questions, you and Gu Xi, don't you two hate each other deeply? Why..."

"I'll explain it to you face to face another day, I can't finish talking for a while..."

Gu Xiao hung up the phone and walked into the dining room, just as Gu Xi was about to get up.

"Dad, I'm full, I'm going back to my room to rest first."

"Well, remember to take medicine." Gu Pingshao didn't say much.

Gu Xiao stared at the empty space, feeling a little blocked, unable to tell what it was like.

For many days after that, the two brothers remained like this. Gu Xiao even served tea and water for Gu Xi, but no matter how nice he was, Gu Xi just laughed it off.A pair of parents saw in their eyes, one of the two children was carefree and silent, and the other was very docile and also tight-lipped.

At first, it was just a child's conflict, and it wouldn't take many days to resolve it, but the days went by, and seeing that the semester was about to end, Gu Xi still ignored Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao got angry when he was deflated.

On the first night of the official school holiday, the couple planned to take a short vacation and take the two brothers on a trip to ease the atmosphere.

During the meal, Gu Pingshao brought it up very confidently, but he didn't want Gu Xi to push it down with regret, saying that he would start to catch up on homework next semester, sprint for the college entrance examination, and wanted to make up for it during the holiday, so he would not go up.

Gu Xiao shook his head, and snorted disapprovingly: "I don't have that much determination to delay what I can do in just a few days. If you don't go, we will go by ourselves. It's been a long time since we went out to play. Parents, please tell me when you decide the destination. Let me say, I will do the strategy."

Zhang Hui and Gu Pingshao looked at each other, and silently canceled the plan, "Since Xiaoxi has a plan, let's find another time. In fact, it's the end of the year and there's a lot of work. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for leave, right? Hui?"

"Well, then find another time."

Later, Gu Xiao muttered about traveling for a few days, and his request became lower and lower, but he didn't get a response.Gradually, he became less attached, and started going out every day to hang out with Sun Yi and his group, and sometimes he didn't go home for lunch.

Apart from the dull atmosphere when the two of them stayed in the room at the same time, Gu Xi still liked this state quite a bit, after being completely disappointed with Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao didn't think carefully about why he didn't want to stay at home all day, but when he was woken up by Ji Jiuxia's words, he suddenly realized that he was actually afraid of something and avoiding something so early on.

Soon, the end of the new year was approaching, and the family bought a lot of new year's goods one after another. Gu Pingshao also resettled a lot of new furniture, cleaning and arranging from time to time every day.Gu Xiao and Gu Xi cannot do without cooperation, but after all, things have passed for a long time, Gu Xi's heart is much more comfortable, and he is no longer so hostile to Gu Xiao, but will take the initiative to help.

This made Gu Xiao slowly heave a sigh of relief, staring at the peaceful Gu Xi, he secretly rejoiced: This hurdle has finally passed gradually...

Of course, Gu Pingshao and Zhang Hui were very pleased to see their two sons arranging ornaments and posting red couplets together.

"Sons, New Year's Eve is only two days away, let's go shopping at the mall tonight." Zhang Hui suggested excitedly.

Gu Xi and Gu Xiao were posting the red couplets, and they glanced at each other in unison. Gu Xi's eyes were full of hesitation, but Gu Xiao was a little cautious.

After a long time, no one answered the two of them, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate. Gu Xiao couldn't help but asked, "Mom, what can we two big boys do?"

"It's because you don't like shopping that you need your mother to take it. Otherwise, where can you find new clothes?" Zhang Hui asked.

"I just want to buy clothes, and I like that kind of black coat recently." Gu Pingshao added.

Looking at Gu Xi again, Gu Xiao raised his lips vigorously: "Go, ah?"

Gu Xi's eyes were a bit complicated, and he smiled at Zhang Hui: "Then let's eat early tonight."

Undoubtedly, this was the most relaxing meal everyone had eaten these days, and Zhang Hui couldn't help but pick up food for the two little Gus.

But Gu Xi knew very well in his heart that even though he had let go of that matter now, his state of mind was completely different from before. What he can do now is to prevent the gap between himself and Gu Xiao from being too obvious in front of his parents. .

Before and after the Spring Festival, the streets are always very lively. In order to meet the occasion, there are lights and festoons everywhere.Most of the people who come and go are carrying big and small bags in their hands, as if they have saved all the things they buy all year round in one day.The young lovers took advantage of the excitement to go on a date in pairs, and the entire business district was filled with festive joy.

Every store and store is trying its best to compete for beauty, and various promotional advertisements and ingenious store activities can be seen everywhere.

The family walked through several clothing stores, and Gu Xi's attitude has always been neither salty nor dull.For the clothes that Zhang Hui gave him, he fiddled with them like a task, and tried them cooperatively, but the last comment was without exception: not bad.

Zhang Hui was very frustrated, and reflected that she did not understand his son's aesthetics more and more, "Oh, how wonderful it was when I was a child. It was easy to buy clothes for the two of you in the past. The good-looking styles are directly in duplicate. When you get home, you patronize and compare them." If you look good, who cares about whether the clothes look good or not!"

"Mom, you just said that we are young, so foolish." Gu Xiao laughed.

"Hey, do you still remember the little Tang suit that Second Aunt gave you? You like to wear it every day. At that time, it was like having two doormen dangling in front of your eyes all day long."

"...that's so stupid, I even forgot..." Gu Xiao recalled those days, and there was a trace of nostalgia and emotion in his heart.

Gu Xizheng paused for a moment with his hand picking up his clothes, but Gu Xiao's unintentional "stupid" hit his heart very clearly and viciously.

Stupid, really stupid, stupid for more than ten years...

I didn't even bother to pick any more, so I casually took out a nearby camel coat, wanting to end today's trip quickly.Gu Xi handed the coat to Zhang Hui and said, "Mom, I've chosen it."

Zhang Hui lifted it up and took a look, silently remembering his son's preferences, "Mom hasn't seen you wear this style of clothes yet, and she didn't choose this style just now."

It was only then that Gu Xi took a serious look at the overcoat. It was a knee-length woolen coat that was very roomy, and he suddenly felt sweaty. How would he wear it after buying it?But the words have been spoken, and I can't take them back...

"Well...Mom, I just forgot to check the size. Why does this dress look a little big? I'll change it!" Gu Xi took the clothes in Zhang Hui's hand and put them back in place after finishing speaking, and finally I thought hard to find something I could wear, and then went back and handed it to Zhang Hui.

"Isn't this the one just now?" Zhang Hui asked strangely.

"I find this one looks better." Gu Xi explained.

"But this style... is a bit too bad?" What kind of style does your son like?

"Buy them all if you like them. Why do you have to pick out one?" Gu Pingshao took back the coat that Gu Xi put back just now, turned around and called the shopping guide, asking her to bring Gu Xi the right size.

Gu Xi wants to cry but has no tears, Dad, why do you love me so much, at least don't be flooded with fatherly love now, I suddenly don't like it, okay?

Gu Xiao, who came out of the fitting room, also came over to look at the coat, his eyes drifted back and forth a few times, as if he teased contemptuously: "This is not the right size, this is Gu Xi's size, the clothes are so half It’s not too wide. Take a look, how about mine?”

As soon as the subject changed, the parents finally stopped hanging around Gu Xi, and both went up to Gu Xiao seriously, and Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Gu Xiao with gratitude, and after all the shopping, they finally failed to buy the one. coat.

After walking through a few more stores and successfully buying clothes, Gu Xiao took advantage of the gap between his parents' payment and leaned into Gu Xi's ear, proudly saying, "With your small mind and bad acting skills, you can only lie to your parents." , the young master will show you at a glance."

Gu Xi: "Oh, then you are great."

Although the boast was extremely careless, Gu Xiao still asked Gu Xi for credit with his nose up to the sky: "How can you thank me?"

Gu Xi: "Oh, thank you so much."

After speaking, Gu Xi quickly left. It is undeniable that Gu Xiao knew him very well and could understand many of his eyes or behaviors. Therefore, arguing in front of Gu Xiao was often like showing off poor acting skills.Similarly, he also understands Gu Xiao, which can be regarded as the result of years of open and secret struggle between the two.

However, no one has ever been able to see clearly.
