Forgive me for a long time

Because Min Shaoqi went to bed early, he woke up early the next morning.Glancing at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was just past six in the morning.

Not going to continue to sleep, Min Shaoqi got out of bed softly, changed into home clothes after washing, and went downstairs.

The downstairs kitchen was already busy making breakfast.

Lucas was also fully dressed at this time, and was overseeing the work at the door of the kitchen downstairs.When the servants who were cleaning saw Min Shaoqi, they all politely called "Master Min", without any probing or curious eyes, as if Min Shaoqi had been in this house for a long time.

Hearing the movement, Lucas turned his head and saw Min Shaoqi walking towards this side, and then smiled politely: "Master Min, good morning."

"Good morning." Min Shaoqi nodded.

"You woke up early enough, the breakfast in the kitchen is not ready yet, please wait a while." Lucas said.At this time, the servant in the kitchen came out with a glass of honey water, Lucas took it and handed it to Min Shaoqi, saying, "Drink a glass of water first, sir, usually get up at [-]:[-]."

The "sir" in Lucas's mouth naturally refers to Gu Ao's grandfather Wang Jilun.

"Okay." He didn't know when Gu Ao would get up, it seemed that the family didn't require the younger generation to eat with the elders, otherwise Lucas would have asked him if Gu Ao had gotten up.

"What do you want for breakfast? You can ask the kitchen to prepare it for you alone." Lucas said, his words and deeds are like a very patient gentleman, it seems that he can meet all requests.

"I can do anything, just eat whatever you have." Min Shaoqi is not picky, judging from the smell emanating from the kitchen, the breakfast looks relatively bland.

"For breakfast today, I prepared goji berry porridge, soup dumplings, siu mai, bacon fried egg sandwiches and small wontons. Do you try them all?" Lucas asked.

In fact, the breakfast prepared at home is not as much as it is today. This is because Gu Ao and Min Shaoqi came, so they added a few more.Of course, the main reason was that Gu Ao and Min Shaoqi didn't ask for breakfast yesterday, so what to do was planned by the kitchen servants themselves.

"I'll just eat porridge and buns." Min Shaoqi said.If all five items are served, he will be full before he can finish them.

"Okay, you can go to the living room to rest for a while, or you can take a walk around, and I will call you when breakfast is ready." Lucas said.

Min Shaoqi nodded, but did not leave immediately, but asked, "Can I borrow the kitchen? I want to make some bread later."

"Of course." Lucas smiled and said to Min Shaoqi, "Please follow me."

Following Lucas into the small living room on one side, there is a small kitchen connected to the back of the small living room, which is about twice the size of Gu Ao's kitchen, spacious and bright.Kitchen utensils and supplies are also readily available, which has a general sense of home.

Lucas said: "You can use the kitchen here. If you need anything, you can make a list. I'll have someone deliver it to you later."

"Okay, thank you." Judging by the cleanliness of the small kitchen, almost no one would use it. Min Shaoqi guessed that the family members would come here when they wanted to do something by themselves.Indeed, it is quieter and more convenient than a large kitchen where three or four chefs stay together.

Not long after, Wang Jilun also came down from the upstairs. When he saw Min Shaoqi coming out of the small living room, he was a little surprised and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I went to bed early yesterday." Min Shaoqi smiled.He could feel that although Mr. Wang was not that close to him, he did not have any malice.

Wang Jilun nodded, took the honey water that Lucas handed over, and drank it slowly.

Then Lucas told Wang Jilun about the breakfast he prepared today, and Wang Jilun also chose porridge and steamed buns, so Lucas went to the kitchen to inform.

About 10 minutes later, breakfast was served.Neither Gu Ao nor Meng Zhang got up yet, so there were only Min Shaoqi and Wang Jilun at the table.

Wang Jilun said: "Eat more, boys need to be stronger."

"Okay." Min Shaoqi nodded and began to eat breakfast.

The dining table was very quiet. Min Shaoqi didn't know whether Mr. Wang kept the tradition of keeping his mouth shut, so he didn't take the initiative to find a topic.

Wang Jilun was also quite satisfied with Min Shaoqi's quietness. In fact, he was not a person who couldn't talk, but he didn't like the kind of person who just picked good things to say in order to find a topic to please him.

After the meal, Wang Jilun sat down for a while, and then went out accompanied by bodyguards.He said he had an appointment with an old friend for tea and would come back after lunch.

Around nine o'clock, Meng Zhang and Gu Ao also got up one after another.At this time, Min Shaoqi was already busy in the small kitchen.

Gu Ao walked in with breakfast, smiled when he saw Min Shaoqi, and said, "Why did you start doing this so early in the morning?"

Min Shaoqi smiled and said, "Suddenly I want to eat butter bread." Yesterday he suddenly wanted to eat it before going to bed, so he decided to get up early to make it, which happened to be afternoon tea.

Gu Ao put the bowl of wontons on the small coffee table by the window, then pulled out the chair and sat down, so that he could chat with Min Shaoqi while having breakfast.

"Grandpa likes to make some cinnamon sugar." Meng Zhang also followed at some time, leaning against the door and said.

"Come and sit." Gu Ao greeted Meng Zhang.When he went downstairs, Meng Zhang was just finishing his meal.

"Don't disturb the world between the two of you?" Meng Zhang smiled, his tone calm.

As for the relationship between Meng Zhang and Gu Ao, Min Shaoqi still didn't understand it, but he believed that Gu Ao was not a person who started chaotically and ended up giving up, so he should really have nothing to do with Meng Zhang.And he also wanted to know what kind of cinnamon sugar bun it was.

Gu Ao looked at Min Shaoqi.

Min Shaoqi smiled and said, "Don't bother."

In Min Shaoqi's heart, Meng Zhang is still so temperamental and outstanding.But he is not bad now, right? Before facing Meng Zhang, he did not have much confidence, but now that Gu Ao has chosen him and has always treated him well, he really has no reason not to be unconfident.Maybe he is not as good as Meng Zhang in dealing with the work that Gu Ao is involved in, but Meng Zhang is also not as good as him in cooking.

Meng Zhang smiled and sat across from Gu Ao with a cup of coffee, looked at Min Shaoqi, and said, "You look much better than before. It seems that this trip to Paris was really good."

Min Shaoqi nodded with a smile and said, "Well, traveling abroad for the first time is always full of novelty."

Meng Zhang took a sip of coffee with a smile, and then asked, "When will the bread be ready?"

Min Shaoqi replied: "In the afternoon." Then he asked: "What kind of bread are you talking about?"

Meng Zhang explained: "It's just ordinary butter bread, but some cinnamon powder and sugar are sprinkled on the surface of the bread."

"Sounds good, I'll give it a try." Min Shaoqi thinks this kind of combination should be good. Cinnamon powder is a disaster for those who can't accept it, but it's good for those who don't dislike it or like it. flavor modifiers.

Gu Ao didn't interrupt, just ate his breakfast in a leisurely manner, listening to Min Shaoqi and Meng Zhang chatting about other topics.

Min Shaoqi found that Meng Zhang was really a good talker, without the cold feeling before, he was quite easy to get along with.

After Gu Ao finished his meal, Meng Zhang also finished his coffee.The servant came to pack up the things and brought coffee to Gu Ao and Min Shaoqi.

Meng Zhang still had things to deal with, so he went upstairs first.

In the kitchen, Min Shaoqi's kneading movements were neither fast nor slow, which Gu Ao found very aesthetic.

After a while, Min Shaoqi asked, "Which floor does Assistant Meng Zhang live on?"

"Second floor. The room is next to my grandfather's." Gu Ao smiled and said, "He was still young when he first came here. My grandfather was afraid that he would not sleep well and wake up in the middle of the night because of the family accident, so he let him sleep next door. room, so that he and grandma can go to the next door to have a look when they get up at night."

Drinking coffee, Gu Ao continued: "When he came, his grandma was still there, and she loved him very much. Later, his grandma died of illness, and he was also sad for a long time. When he became an adult, his grandpa originally wanted to replace him with a bigger one. The room, but he said he was used to living in it and didn’t want to change it. Grandpa didn’t force it, but just changed him to a bigger study.”

Min Shaoqi pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Um...does Assistant Meng like you? I think he treats you like...differently..."

In fact, he also felt that he seemed a little narrow-minded in asking this way, but since he had doubts, he had to ask them out.

Gu Ao laughed loudly and said, "I'm still wondering when you will ask."

This made Min Shaoqi a little embarrassed, as if he had asked unnecessary questions.

However, Gu Ao still explained to him: "How should I put it. Meng Zhang did say that he liked me when we were 16 years old, but after we analyzed it, it didn't feel like love, it was just a kind of love that transcended blood. brotherhood."

Recalling that period of time, Gu Ao kept smiling and said, "You know, when something happened to Meng Zhang's family, he was only 12 years old. It was a time when he was very sensitive and insecure. Grandpa took him in. He, he is very grateful, but the uneasiness is not so easy to disappear. At that time, he didn't like to touch people, and I always ran to my grandfather when I was on vacation, so soon, I became his partner. The only friend in time. Because of the similar age, many thoughts are the same, we face ignorance together, we face rebellious period together, and we grow up together, so in my heart, he is the same as my younger brother. But because he doesn’t Relatives, and understand that relatives are more stable than friends, so he may have a little deviation in his thinking, thinking that he likes me. But in fact, he just wants to make me his real relatives in this way, so that There is a reason to never separate, and he can feel more secure."

"At that time, he confessed to me, but I didn't agree. I just said that I would always take care of him, and I would not ignore him because of no blood relationship. Later, we grew up and became more mature, and Meng Zhang also began to feel that he could support him. Now that I have started my own life, the need for a sense of security is not so important. In addition, my grandfather has always regarded him as his grandson, and I have not been alienated from him as before, and there has not been any estrangement, so he gradually I understand that the relationship between me and him does not need the family affection derived from the so-called love to maintain it, and I gradually see my own feelings clearly, and explain it to me. So the relationship between me and him is actually more of a family relationship. We grew up together, so we know each other well, so I feel relieved to let him be my assistant, and let him handle any personal matters."

After listening to Gu Ao, Min Shaoqi could fully understand Meng Zhang's mood at that time.When his parents left him one after another, he was already so old, and he still felt lonely, incomplete, and empty in his heart, let alone such a young Meng Zhang.Thinking about it this way, Meng Zhang is actually more difficult than him.

"I will care more about Assistant Meng in the future." Min Shaoqi said.

Gu Ao smiled and said: "Meng Zhang is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. This is related to his family's experience, so it is not easy to trust others, but after a long time, he can also see who is sincere to him. good."

"Well, I know." After learning about the relationship between Meng Zhang and Gu Ao, Min Shaoqi was actually relieved, and knew what attitude he should take towards Meng Zhang in the future.To be honest, it feels pretty good.
