The dessert shop is located at the junction of two famous universities in C City. Even during the New Year's Day holiday, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of the shop.

The exterior design is very simple, the most eye-catching is the store name hanging high.The name of the store is two characters in pen and ink - Guan Tang, with black and white characters, which looks completely different from ordinary dessert shops.

Walking inside, the decoration style is the same as the appearance, simple and unpretentious. Facing the door is a row of glass cabinets, which are filled with various desserts. Going to the right are three small tables woven with rattan. There are two small stools of the same material next to each table for customers to eat in the store, and now there are people sitting on the three tables.

A girl in a cotton dress and ankle-length dress was returning from the dining area with a tray. When she looked up and saw them, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Tang Tang, why are you here?" The girl's voice was as sweet as an oriole.

Guan Tang smiled at her: "Sister Xiaomeng, good afternoon, we have a holiday on New Year's Day, so come and play."

Only then did Xiaomeng realize that there was a person standing behind Guantang, about a head taller than him, with a handsome face and a cold expression. Seeing her looking at him, she couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Meng quickly withdrew her eyes, her face flushed, and she said to Guan Tang embarrassedly: "Teacher Tang is behind, I'll go and talk."

After speaking, Xiaomeng hurried backstage.

Guan Tang scratched his head in doubt: "Why does Miss Meng talk so little today? When I came here before, she would chat with me for a while..."

The glass cabinet in front of him was a bit reflective, and Gu Wenxiao adjusted his clothes slightly because of this little reflection. Hearing Guan Tang's words, he frowned again: "Are you familiar with her?"

Guan Tang pulled Gu Wenxiao to the counter, pulled two wicker chairs and sat down, and explained: "She is my mother's student, and later my mother resigned to open this dessert shop, and she would come to help occasionally, so Relatively familiar."

Gu Wenxiao wanted to ask a few more questions, when he saw a person walking out from the backstage, with long hair reaching his waist, wearing a navy blue sweater on his upper body, and a long black woolen skirt, his face was somewhat similar to Guan Tang's, but It was tenderness everywhere, Gu Wenxiao guessed that this should be Guan Tang's mother.

really--

"Mom!" Guan Tang didn't come home for a long time, and now he waved to her happily when he saw her.

Seeing her son, Guan Tang's mother, Tang Jingshu, smiled even more gently on her already gentle face: "I thought you went home directly."

"Come on, Mom, let me introduce you." Guan Tang happily pulled Gu Wenxiao to stand up, "This is my teammate E God, I will bring him to celebrate New Year's Day."

Gu Wenxiao stood aside a bit cautiously. When he heard Guan Tang's introduction, he choked up and said helplessly, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Guan Tang's teammate, Gu Wenxiao."

It was the first time Tang Jingshu saw her son bring friends home, she was a little surprised, but soon smiled and said, "Hello, can I call you Xiao Gu?"

Gu Wenxiao nodded quickly.

"Mom, I'll take my teammates to play on the second floor, remember to call us when you are going back later."

There were people coming and going in the store, because a few of them were standing by the counter, which had attracted the attention of many people. Guan Tang knew that Gu Wenxiao didn't like this kind of occasion, so he made a relief.

Tang Jingshu gently reached out and stroked her son's hair, her tone was gentle: "Okay, then you go up, I will let Xiaomeng go up with some snacks later."

"Okay." Guan Tang responded, and grabbed Gu Wenxiao's hand, "God E, let's go upstairs."

Although Gu Wenxiao felt that this was a little impolite, he couldn't say anything, so he nodded apologetically to Guan Tang's mother, and followed him up.

Tang Jingshu looked at the backs of the two, and a strange thought came to her mind, when did her son have such a good friend?

There are three rooms on the second floor of the dessert shop, two lounges and a dressing room, and a toilet with a shower function. One of the lounges is for employees, and the other is for their own family members, because Guantang My father is a teacher at a nearby university, so I often come here.

Guan Tang took out the key from his bag, opened the door of the lounge and walked in.

"God E, I'm sorry, I didn't expect there to be so many people in the store today." Guan Tang said to Gu Wenxiao behind him as he walked in.

"no need to say sorry."

Gu Wenxiao saw many pieces of calligraphy and Chinese paintings hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but pause: "Is this the same person's handwriting as the name of the store?"

Guan Tang turned around, saw the calligraphy in front of Gu Wenxiao, and smiled: "Yes, it was all written by my dad, who teaches calligraphy."

Gu Wenxiao thought of the note Guan Tang wrote to himself before, no wonder Guan Tang's handwriting is so beautiful.

The small lounge is also divided into two rooms, the inner room is for people to take a lunch break, and the outer room is a huge writing desk with a few writing brushes hanging on it, and an inkstone next to it, with rice paper spread in the middle , Zhang Ruoxu's Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night is halfway through.

Although the room is small, it has a big bay window covered with a plush blanket and a small table in the middle. While sitting down, Guan Tang patted the seat opposite and greeted Gu Wenxiao: "God E, come and sit down quickly." , very comfortable."

Seeing Guan Tang taking off his shoes and crossing his legs, Gu Wenxiao walked over with some hesitation, thought for a while and sat down opposite Guan Tang.

"Take off your shoes, you have to sit cross-legged to be comfortable." Guan Tang urged.

Gu Wenxiao was a little hesitant at first, after all, this appearance seemed inelegant, and Guan Tang's mother might come up at any time... But seeing Guan Tang's bright and expectant eyes, Gu Wenxiao agreed, took off his shoes, and looked like Guan Tang Sitting cross-legged on a blanket.

Guan Tang smiled with his eyes crooked, showing his cute little tiger teeth: "Is it very comfortable?"

"Yeah." The blanket is soft and warm, which is really suitable for winter.

"God E, look outside, isn't the scenery beautiful?" Guan Tang crossed over to pat Gu Wenxiao's arm, then pointed out the window.

Facing the window is the famous plum grove of C University, but it is not an ordinary plum blossom, but wintersweet.This is the season when wintersweet is in full bloom, and the brown-gray branches are dotted with small yellow flowers. Although the window is closed, one can imagine the refreshing and unique fragrance of wintersweet.

"Well," Gu Wenxiao asked, "do you come here often?"

"Yes, my parents are both teachers of C University, so I often came here to play when I was young," Guan Tang nodded, and patched up his own words as if thinking of something, "But my mother said it three years ago. After resigning, I opened Guantang.”

The two were talking when there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

"Please come in."

The person who came in was Xiaomeng they had just met downstairs. She was holding a tray in her hand. After opening the door and coming in, she first glanced at Gu Wenxiao, then looked away and smiled at Tang: "Teacher Tang asked me to take it. came up."

Guan Tang hurriedly jumped down from the bay window, stepped on the back of his snow boots and dragged his shoes over, took the tray from Xiao Meng's hand: "Thank you, Miss Meng."

"What's there to thank for that?" Xiaomeng glanced at Gu Wenxiao calmly again, just in time when he turned his head, the two looked at each other for a second, Xiaomeng quickly lowered her head, "Cough, there is still something to do next, I go first."

Although Guan Tang is occasionally nervous, most of the time he is still very meticulous, such as Xiaomeng's eyes when she looked at Gu Wenxiao just now, such as her slightly red earlobes after she lowered her head.

He took the tray back to the bay window, and there was a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus tea and four stacks of snacks in the tray.

Guan Tang took out two small transparent teacups from the tray, poured two cups of light yellow osmanthus tea, and pushed one cup in front of Gu Wenxiao: "God E, try it."

Gu Wenxiao looked up, took the teacup, and asked, "Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Hey," Guan Tang covered his mouth and teased, "I'm laughing at how fast our E God's luck came."

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Guan Tang blinked at him slyly, with a smile in his tone: "You probably didn't pay attention just now, I saw sister Xiao Meng blushing when she looked at you, do you understand me? "

The sweet-scented osmanthus tea that Gu Wenxiao drank into his mouth lost its fragrance in an instant. He put down the tea cup and pursed his lips: "I don't understand."

"Tsk, I don't understand this. Miss Meng must be interested in you. E God, you are really incomprehensible." Guan Tang gave him a complaining look.

"..."

I don't know who is the one who is confused.

"Let me tell you, there are a lot of people chasing Sister Xiaomeng. I don't know how many love letters have been sent to the store. I have never seen Sister Xiaomeng blushing when she sees a boy..."

Listening to Guan Tang chattering about this, Gu Wenxiao was a little irritable, and blurted out: "What does that have to do with me, I have someone I like."

"...Why it has nothing to do with you, you have someone you like and... what? God E, do you have someone you like?" Guan Tang got stuck.

Now that everything has been said, Gu Wenxiao simply said it more bluntly: "Well, I have someone I like, and I have liked him for many years."

Guan Tang's eyes widened for a moment: "Many years? But God E, aren't you only 19 years old this year? Hey, are you in puppy love?"

Gu Wenxiao: "..." Guan Tang is really good at catching the wrong focus and irritating people.

Guan Tang soon realized that his focus was not right: "Then who is the person you have a crush on, God E? A former classmate?"

"No."

"Is that my childhood sweetheart?"

"No," Gu Wenxiao pursed his lips, "We met online."

Guan Tang couldn't help but gave him a thumbs up: "It's amazing, God E, you will be able to date online at a young age."

"...It's not online dating, because it's just my one side, he doesn't know." Gu Wenxiao felt his lips were a bit dry, so he took another sip of osmanthus tea.

Guan Tang became more interested: "Then how did you know each other?"

"He took me to play games," Gu Wenxiao paused, and added, "LOL."

"Wow," Guan Tang exclaimed, "Take you to play games? Then the girl you have a crush on must have a high level of games."

Gu Wenxiao looked at Guan Tang with complicated eyes: "Almost." The game was played very well, but it was not a girl.

Guan Tang propped up the little table with his elbow, rested his chin with one hand, and enviously said: "Hey, when can I have a sweet love? I have been working for three years, and I don't even have time to fall in love. It's too miserable .”

"There will be a chance." For example...with him.

The two of them didn't stay upstairs for a long time. Before they finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus tea and snacks, Tang Jingshu, Guantang's mother, came.

"Tang Tang, your dad is here, clean up and we're going home."

Gu Wenxiao walked downstairs with Guan Tang, the customers in the shop had already left, the door was closed, and only Guan Tang's parents were left downstairs.

"Dad, is your lecture over?" Guan Tang walked over cheerfully.

Guan Tang's father, Guan Canghai, was dressed in a gray knee-length coat with a refined demeanor, and turned his head with a smile: "Tang Tang is back."

"Let me introduce you," Guan Tang pulled Gu Wenxiao aside, "This is my teammate, E...er, Gu Wenxiao, I heard it, Yunxiao's Xiao."

Guan Canghai nodded: "Wen Xiao, what a good name."

Although Gu Wenxiao was very nervous in his heart, he looked very calm on the surface, nodded towards Guan Canghai, and said hello politely: "Hello, Uncle Guan."

Tang Jingshu, who had packed everything, came over with a small knitted bag: "Okay, don't introduce yourself, let's go home first."

When she said that, others would naturally not object.

The car was parked at the back door of Guantang. It was a low-key black Volkswagen.

Guan's father drives, Guan's mother sits in the passenger seat, while Guan Tang and Gu Wenxiao sit in the back seat together.

"Xiao Gu, what flavor do you like to eat? Or do you have any taboos?" Mother Guan asked.

Just as Guan Tang wanted to help Gu Wenxiao answer, he spoke up himself: "Auntie, I can eat anything, and I have no taboos."

Guan Tang: "?"

Obviously last time I heard the aunt at the base complain that Gu Wenxiao was the most picky person in the whole team, why is it that he has no taboo now?

"It's good to have no taboos, balanced nutrition, no wonder you are so tall, unlike our family Tang Tang, who is picky about this and picky about that, and he is not as tall as his father." Although Guan's mother looked gentle and gentle, she complained. It looks powerful.

Guan Tang gasped in displeasure: "Mom, I can still grow. Besides, I'm not short. There is someone in our team who is shorter than me."

Gu Wenxiao heard that he was talking about Anze, so he couldn't help laughing.

But Guan Tang glared at him, and warned in a low voice: "God E, you can't betray your teammates."

Gu Wenxiao's expression was innocent: "But Anze is also a teammate."

Guan Tang: "..." What he said made sense, but I was speechless.

"Where is Xiao Gu's house?" Dad Guan saw two people bickering in the rearview mirror, and asked cheerfully.

"I'm from City H."

"Oh, that's quite far away, no wonder you don't go home during the holidays." Mom Guan said naturally.

Gu Wenxiao restrained his expression, hesitated for a while, but still didn't speak.

Seeing Gu Wenxiao's embarrassment, Guan Tang hurriedly changed the subject: "We went to City H for this competition, it's so cold there, it feels colder than City C."

Father Guan continued: "Is that the Demacia Cup you mentioned last time? How was the game going?"

Now Guan Tang was also embarrassed, he had to find this topic, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Um, this match was not very good."

Fortunately, Guan Tang's parents have no requirements for his performance in the game. Their principle is that the son is happy, so Guan's mother comforted him: "It's okay, just work harder next time. You guys have a few days off this time." ah?"

"Three days."

"Hey, after New Year's Day, you have to wait until the New Year to come back, right?"

After all, professional players are different from ordinary office workers. Their vacation time is completely based on the arrangement of the game. There is no such thing as weekends or holidays.

Guan's father continued: "It must be a year ago, and your mother and I will be able to rest in the middle of January..."

The tone sounded a little regretful that Guan Tang couldn't come back to accompany them earlier, Guan Tang felt sore in his heart, just about to comfort him, he heard Guan's father change the subject——

"But it's better if you come back later. I signed up for a cruise for me and your mother, and it will take about half a month."

Guan Tang: "..." Bai felt sad.

Gu Wenxiao: "..." I finally know where Guan Tang's ability to piss people off without paying for his life came from, it turned out to be hereditary.

Guantang's house is located in the school district near the university town. The community is not very new, but all the internal infrastructure are readily available.

Guan's father drove the car directly to the underground garage, and then several people got out of the car together.

Guan Tang's family lives on the second floor, which is a small duplex.The downstairs is a functional area such as the living room and dining room, while the upstairs is the master bedroom, guest bedroom and study.

Because it was getting late, Guan's mother told Guan Tang where to put Xin's bedding, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Little Gu, do you know how to play Go?" Dad Guan asked Gu Wenxiao to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and asked with a smile.

Guan Tang had just made a pot of tea from the kitchen when he heard that his father was addicted to chess again, and couldn't help complaining: "Dad, forget it, you play chess with the national player Uncle Zhou from the next department every day, and your chess skills are even better You must be half a master of Chinese studies, it’s really embarrassing to bully children here..."

"Hey, you can't say that," Guan's father waved his hand in a good-tempered manner, "Go is not determined by the length of time you play, but by your talent. Otherwise, how can we find some teenage Go geniuses?"

Guan Tang walked over, one of them poured a cup of tea for them, and curled his lips: "We play games, not Go, it's normal for God E not to know Go..."

Before the words were finished, Gu Wenxiao on the side said politely: "I know a little about Go, but I'm not good at it. If Uncle Guan doesn't mind, we can play two games."

Guan Tang looked at him with some surprise: "God E, you can even go? Is there anything else you don't know?"

Gu Wenxiao glanced at him: "I learned some when I was young."

Guan's father took out the chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces from the drawer under the table, and said with a smile, "I don't mind, come on, you hold the black pieces first."

Gu Wenxiao didn't refuse, picked up a black piece from the chess box at hand and landed it on the chessboard.

Guan Tang watched Gu Wenxiao and Guan Dad get up together, one son and one son, and suddenly felt a little miraculous.

Playing League of Legends and playing Go are two completely different activities. It is clear that half a day ago, Gu Wenxiao was still playing in the base to win the MVP with fast hands, but half a day later he was playing Go with his father at his house with a calm face. The only difference The beauty is that whether it is playing games or playing Go, Gu Wenxiao's movements are so smooth and smooth, it is pleasing to watch.

Gu Wenxiao is a native of H City but likes spicy food. He is proficient in multiple languages, but he chooses to play professionally. Now that he is also good at Go, how many surprises does he have?Guan Tang became more and more curious.

Curiosity is curiosity, but for a person who can’t play Go, Go is actually a very boring activity. After watching Tang Tang for a while, he felt drowsy and couldn’t help shaking his head, remembering what Guan’s mother told him just now, Said: "You guys play chess here first, I will go upstairs to tidy up the guest room."

Hearing this, Gu Wenxiao, who had just picked up a sunspot, paused his hands, and when he heard the sound of his leaving footsteps, he dropped the sunspot on the chessboard as if nothing had happened, making a crisp "click".

There are two master bedrooms and a guest room on the upper floor. The study and the Tangtang bedroom are facing the sun, while the other master bedroom and guest room are facing the sun.

Guan Tang took out the four-piece bed set wrapped in a sealed bag from the small storage room, carried him to the guest room opposite his room, and suddenly remembered that he and Gu Wenxiao’s room was also facing each other at the base, so he couldn’t help but smile. What a fate.

Although the room will be cleaned regularly, but due to the long-term occupancy during this period, the room can't help but have a "raw" smell.

Guan Tang tore off the dust cover on the bed, first piled the four-piece suit on the bed at will, then turned and left the room, and brought a bottle of perfume from his bedroom, who did not know who sent it.

He randomly sprayed it around a few times, and the fragrance of sea salt butter wafted into the air.

Guan Tang opened the window again, the sun outside had gradually set, and the slight evening wind was blowing, and it was still a bit cool.

Guan Tang has been relatively independent since he was a child, so housework such as making the bed is not a problem, but he tidied up the messy bed in 10 minutes, and finally did not forget to sprinkle perfume on the bed twice.

When Guan Tang came down with the balled bed cover, the chess game between Guan's father and Gu Wenxiao was only halfway through, so he took a glance and went straight into the kitchen, intending to help Guan's mother.

Guan's mother was frying crispy meat. When she heard the kitchen door open, she glanced back and saw that it was Guan Tang. She immediately smiled, "Why did Tang Tang come in? Where are your father and Xiao Gu?"

Guan Tang saw that there were still unwashed vegetables beside the sink, and while rolling up his sleeves, he walked over and said, "My dad and God E are playing chess."

"E...God?"

Guan Tang scratched his head and explained: "Gu Wenxiao's game ID is Echo, so our team is used to calling him God E."

"Oh, so, what position does he play in your team?" Because of her son's professional relationship, Guan's mother, who doesn't know much about games, has also learned some information about the team and the game.

"He is a jungler, and he is dedicated to helping his teammates gain an advantage."

Mama Guan took out the fried crispy meat from the last wave with a slotted spoon and put it on a plate covered with kitchen paper towels to drain the oil, while sighing: "I didn't expect Xiao Gu to be so enthusiastic when he looked indifferent. "

……enthusiastic?

Guan Tang didn't know how to refute for a while.
