Teddy's Counterattack Guide [Rebirth]

Lu Yan stared at the last message on the chat interface, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth. He still had a good impression of this glib little uncle in his heart.He told Gu Yuanzhou to drive well again, and the rest will be discussed later.The other party returned a cheap expression, and obediently obeyed after showing off the cuteness.

The wall clock showed that the time was close to four o'clock in the afternoon. Since Papa Gu is a person who is very particular about the concept of time, it seems that Gu Yuanzhou must have been out for a while, and I am afraid that he will arrive here in a short time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan hastily sent a text message to his second brother, saying that he knew about the deletion of the news, and probably explained the reason, so that he didn't have to worry.After finishing these, Lu Yan couldn't wait to read the reply, got up and took a shower, and then opened the suitcase to choose clothes.

To be honest, Lu Yan was a little nervous, whether it was Gu Jinglin or Gu Yuanzhou, judging from the descriptions of these two people, Gu's father was the most difficult type of elder to deal with.Because of his excellence, the old man has a stubborn personality and has his own views on everything, and it is difficult to change.Lu Yan is not good at dealing with people. He used to avoid it whenever he could, but this time it was impossible to avoid it. Besides, the other party was Gu Jinglin's father. Some impressions.

Considering that he was going home for a light meal after all, and he didn’t need to dress too formally, Lu Yan chose a white shirt and beige casual trousers from the box, and after changing, he matched it with a well-regulated wool coat, trying to make himself look Like a quiet and obedient college student.

At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs, Lu Yan heard the movement, and hurried out of the bedroom.He stood by the railing of the corridor on the second floor and looked down, just in time to see Gu Jinglin walk into the living room and put two bags of things on the coffee table.

"Where did you go?" Lu Yan asked casually, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Hearing the sound, Gu Jinglin raised her head to look at Lu Yan, and said lightly: "I don't worry about Lin Lin staying in the apartment alone, and I don't know when you agree to go back to live, so I put him in the pet shop first, so someone can take care of him." .”

"You went there in person?" Lu Yan frowned, and originally wanted to say "I'm not afraid of being seen by Yuji", but I feel that mentioning such things now is too offensive, so I just said it to the point, and everyone understands it.

Gu Jinglin understood, smiled indifferently, and said, "I asked Xi Chen to meet at the apartment, and Lin Lin will be sent to the pet shop by him, don't you worry?"

Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, and felt that Gu Jinglin's tone of speaking was like being checked by his wife, which sounded obedient and helpless.He returned to the bedroom to get his cell phone, and then went down to the living room on the first floor.

Gu Jinglin took out a pack of coffee beans from the shopping bag and was grinding them into powder with a machine.He was wearing a dark shirt with decorative dark patterns, no tie, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing a small piece of sexy and beautiful fair skin——Lu Yan likes watching Gu Jinglin prepare food very much, and always feels a kind of happiness while taking a break from his busy schedule inside.

Perhaps aware of the other party's gaze, Gu Jinglin paused for a while, and then said without turning his head: "Why don't you speak?"

Lu Yan smiled with his eyes bent, walked over and put his arms around his waist from behind, rubbed his cheek on his back, and said in a low voice: "I'm too busy looking at you, I don't have time to talk."

"Does it look good?" Gu Jinglin asked.

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Of course you look good, otherwise why would so many girls like you?"

Gu Jinglin didn't speak in a hurry, put the ground coffee into the filter, put it into the coffee machine, and pressed the switch.He turned around and hugged Lu Yan, who was sticking to him and acting like a baby, into his arms, lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, and teased casually: "Anyway, no one will snatch it from you in the future, you can watch it carefully, every day, just for a few years." You will get tired of watching it in the future, and when the time comes, you won’t even watch it.”

"How is it possible?" Lu Yan shook Gu Jinglin's arms, "Am I that kind of person?"

Gu Jinglin picked up Lu Yan's chin with one hand, stared at his face, looked left and right, and finally said solemnly: "It is said that people who are good-looking and have thin lips are easy to change their minds, commonly known as pulling dicks and being ruthless."

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan didn't understand the meaning of the common name, but his intuition told him that it must not be a good word, so he gave Gu Jinglin a look and muttered, "Nonsense."

Gu Jinglin couldn't help laughing, and scratched the bridge of Lu Yan's nose with his fingers.

The coffee machine on the cooking table beeped to indicate that the coffee was ready.Gu Jinglin let go of Lu Yan, turned around to deal with the residue, Lu Yan opened the cupboard and took out two mugs, each took [-]% full coffee, and then added milk and sugar according to their preferences.

"By the way," Lu Yan sipped the milk coffee under the quilt, and said, "Yuanzhou sent me a text message, saying that he would go to your parents' place for dinner tonight. You know about this, right?"

Gu Jinglin was rinsing the filter, and didn't look up when he heard the words, but just let out a flat "hmm".

Lu Yan said: "You knew about it last night, and you also know that they will deal with the scandal, so you are not afraid of being secretly photographed by Yuji when you come here, is that so?"

"No." Gu Jinglin said in a calm voice, "I'm really not afraid of any news about us, Yanyan, what do you want to ask, just say it."

"Why didn't you tell me about going back to your house?" Lu Yan said.

Gu Jinglin said frankly: "Because I don't want to go back."

"Why?" Lu Yan was puzzled, "Yuanzhou said that your father might want to talk to me, but you didn't tell me, wouldn't that be too good, uncle will be prejudiced against me."

Gu Jinglin hung up the filter to drain the water, then picked up his cup of coffee with one hand, and Lu Yan with the other, brought him to the dining table, pulled out the chair, and signaled him to sit down.

"It's not that you don't know my dad's attitude. You can't think of what he can talk to you about?"

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat, he put down the mug, remained silent for a while, and said, "These are two things, no matter what their attitudes are, since your parents came forward to solve this problem, we are the juniors. , you still have to be polite.”

Gu Jinglin shook his head with a smile, and said, "I knew you would say that, so I didn't tell you."

After he finished speaking, Lu Yan was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again, with obvious hesitation in his voice: "I know my thoughts are a bit idealistic, but I still hope that your parents can accept me, even if They still have prejudices against same-sex unions, but I at least want them to know that I will wholeheartedly treat you and cherish their children."

Gu Jinglin lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee, and instead of looking at Lu Yan, he said calmly, "What if he asked you to leave me?"

Lu Yan was startled, Gu Jinglin raised his head, and the two eyes met, Gu Jinglin said: "Don't you think this is a more reasonable possibility?"

Lu Yan was instantly discouraged, held his forehead, and said, "I really didn't think so much..."

Gu Jinglin: "It's been so many years. If their ideas can be changed, the relationship between us will not be what it is now. Yanyan, I don't tell you because I don't want to go back, but because I think of him. I don’t think there’s a need for you to be hurt by what’s being asked of you, you don’t need to talk, you don’t even need to meet in your life.”

"There is also the matter about us on the Internet. To be honest, I really don't want them to get involved, but they still manage it. You know in your heart that blocking the news will not solve the problem. You still have to give an explanation to public opinion, but One can imagine that this explanation must depend on our attitude tonight, which is why my dad wants to talk to you."

Lu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I understand, but—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beep sounded from the entrance.

Lu Yan guessed that Gu Yuanzhou had arrived, so he didn't continue talking, got up and walked over to lift the door control, then opened the door and waited for someone.

It was raining and foggy outside.

Lu Yan saw a black SUV parked outside the gate, and a man in a dark windbreaker holding an umbrella waved at him from a distance.

The two only met once at the door of Gu Jinglin's apartment. Lu Yan was not very impressed with Gu Yuanzhou's appearance, but this man's personality was very distinctive, it could be said that he was completely different from his brother, and he had the attributes of familiarity. annoying.

Seeing that Lu Yan was waiting for him in only a shirt, Gu Yuanzhou quickly walked two steps over, put away his umbrella and walked under the porch, hugged Lu Yan very warmly, and said with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan was caught off guard by the "stranger" whom he met for the second time, his body froze, and he pushed subconsciously.Gu Yuanzhou sensed something was wrong and let go of Lu Yan.Seeing that the other party took a step back, Gu Yuanzhou was a little dazed, his brows tightened, and he said in puzzlement, "Sister-in-law, do you despise me? Don't you just hug me? I can't tell that you are quite conservative as a returnee."

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan's current social circle is much larger than before, and he will meet people of all levels, but anyone who has a good relationship knows that he has a cleanliness habit, and will not have too close physical contact. Dare to touch him.

It happened to be Gu Yuanzhou.

Lu Yan felt a headache, and felt that the other party was not an outsider after all, so his reaction was indeed a little bad.He was about to explain, but before he could open his mouth, someone grabbed his shoulders from behind and moved him into his arms very naturally.Gu Jinglin looked at Gu Yuanzhou expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Yanyan has a cleanliness habit and despises everyone except me."

Gu Yuanzhou said "oh" very clearly, looked at Lu Yan, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sister-in-law, don't mind, I won't dare next time."

"It's okay." Lu Yan was also quite embarrassed, "Come in and sit down."

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at his watch, and hurriedly said: "Don't sit down, the house is too remote for you two, it will take some time to drive back, if I'm late, I'll die."

Hearing this, Lu Yan didn't make a sound, but raised his eyes to look at Gu Jinglin.

Gu Jinglin said: "Go back and tell Dad, just say that the two elders don't need to worry about this matter, I will solve it myself, and I won't go over for dinner tonight." After speaking, she turned around and was about to enter the house.

Gu Yuanzhou quickly clasped his arms to stop him, and said, "Brother, it's not like you don't know the old man's character, if you don't go back, you'll kill him!"

Gu Jinglin squinted at him, then pulled his arm out: "Killing you doesn't count."

With a straight face, Gu Yuanzhou said solemnly: "To be reasonable, sometimes I feel that I am not your real brother."

Gu Jinglin snorted and said, "Actually, I think so too, so I always agree with the family planning policy."

Gu Yuanzhou: "..."

Lu Yan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Gu Yuanzhou was particularly hurt, and looked at Lu Yan with resentment on his face: "Sister-in-law, you didn't reject me just now, your family, you and my brother, who has the final say?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Gu Jinglin: "..."

Lu Yan chuckled and sighed, "Wait for me to get the coat."

"Yanyan," Gu Jinglin stopped him, "I told you just now, why didn't you listen?"

Lu Yan held his hand in turn, pulled him back to the living room, took off their coats from the coat rack, took the car keys, and said, "Don't make things difficult for Yuanzhou, and don't let your parents I think I'm rude. Jing Lin, they will take care of this, after all, it's for your own good, which shows that they still think about you, so they don't want to see you suffer a little bit of grievance."

Gu Jinglin was noncommittal and did not answer.

Lu Yan put on his coat, and came over to put it on for him like coaxing a child.Gu Jinglin had nothing to do with him, his attitude eased, but he still didn't speak.

"I'm mentally prepared, so don't worry." Lu Yan said, "Anyway, go there once tonight. I'll listen to the good and the bad. That's your father. I know that no matter what he does or says, it's because he loves you. , I won’t be angry at this point.”

Gu Jinglin sighed, hugged Lu Yan, and whispered in his ear: "But I can't bear it."

Lu Yanhui hugged him, and said with a smile: "Then if the conversation falls apart, remember to be nice to me in the future. After all, if my uncle and aunt don't like me, I will be under a lot of pressure—" before finishing speaking, Lu Yan Yan's eyelashes drooped, and he said in a lower voice, "I don't have parents, Jing Lin, I hope you can be happier than me."

Hearing this, Gu Jinglin's heart trembled, he hugged Lu Yan tightly, kissed his earlobe lightly, and said nothing more.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Lu Yan wanted to go back just to make it easier for him to do so.

It was almost evening, and the autumn rain was cold to the bone.

The two drove the car alone, followed Gu Yuanzhou's SUV, and drove at a low speed on the winding road winding down the mountain.

The Gu family's house is located in the east of the city, in an old urban area that is protected as a cultural heritage. It is a courtyard building with a single family.At first, Lu Yan thought it was similar to the yard that Luo Shaoze bought, but the more he drove in, the more he felt something was wrong. This place is too quiet, there are not many residents, and there are no vendors running shops.

The two cars were stopped one after another at the entrance of the alley. The guard on duty at the gate knew that there were acquaintances in the car, but they checked the relevant documents of several people according to the rules before letting them go.

The Gu family's yard has not been renovated, and there is no such thing as a garage. Gu Jinglin parked the car next to the courtyard wall, took the lead to get out of the car with an umbrella, and walked to the other side to pick up Lu Yan.Gu Yuanzhou also got out of the car in front, and while making a phone call, he walked over and opened the courtyard door.

The yard is unlocked.

Lu Yan felt a little strange.

Perhaps noticing his question, Gu Jinglin casually glanced at the other adjacent courtyard, and explained in a low voice: "This area is all family members of the military region, and there is armed police protection for 24 hours, and outsiders are not allowed in, so there are few people. , is also very safe."

"You grew up here?" Lu Yan tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Did you also like to bully Yuanzhou when you were young?"

Gu Jinglin looked at him inexplicably: "When did I bully him?"

Not far away, Gu Yuanzhou moved his ears, ran to the other side of Lu Yan, and said secretly: "Sister-in-law, you are so smart, you can tell at a glance that I live at the bottom of our family."

Lu Yan asked: "Is the top floor uncle?"

Gu Yuanzhou gave a "tsk" and said: "Obviously it's my brother! The old man has a lot of traditional concepts and dotes on his eldest son. He has already doted on my brother to heaven. Otherwise, why would he be so self-willed and fight against the family every day without being beaten to death?" ?”

"..." Gu Jinglin raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at his younger brother was a little hard, and said impatiently, "If you talk nonsense, I'm leaving."

Gu Yuanzhou gave Lu Yan a look of "Look", and obediently kept silent.

Lu Yan was caught in the middle, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

Three people entered the door. This courtyard house is not very big. There are two side rooms on the left and right sides. There are three main rooms facing the gate. Judging from the layout, there may be a backyard.There are a few ginkgo trees planted in the flowerbed in the front yard. This year, the weather was cold and early, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees were all yellow, and they fell all over the ground after being hit by the rain.

Walking to the eaves of the main room, Gu Yuanzhou put away his umbrella and stood at the door, turned to Gu Jinglin and said, "Mom should be watching the cooking in the kitchen, brother, you go to say hello to big brother, Lu Yan, I will send it in."

At the door of the house, Gu Yuanzhou didn't dare to bark. Lu Yan felt relieved a lot, but he became nervous again after being called by this name.

Gu Jinglin didn't move, and said: "You can see it in a while, so I won't go there on purpose, I'll go in with Yanyan."

"Don't!" Gu Yuanzhou said, "I'm afraid that if you two don't deal with each other, you will directly quarrel."

Gu Jinglin: "Too lazy to argue, do you think I'm still in my early twenties?"

Lu Yan didn't hear anything at first, but after thinking about Gu Jinglin's words carefully, he thought it must be six or seven years since he hadn't been home?

Realizing this, Lu Yan pulled Gu Jinglin's arm and said in a low voice, "I'd better go in by myself, the two of you go to chat with your aunt, and I'll call you after we finish talking here."

Gu Yuanzhou thought about it too, Lu Yanren is here, if Gu Jinglin can let him go and walk to the backyard, it will be really abnormal.So he didn't refuse, and opened the umbrella again, but when he walked to Gu Jinglin's side, he hesitated again, and looked back at Lu Yan: "Sister-in-law... persuade me again."

Lu Yan said: "Go quickly, drag it away, as I said, he dare not bully you."

Gu Jinglin: "..."

Gu Jinglin was convinced by these two people, and didn't know what else to say, so Lu Yan was dragged away by Gu Yuanzhou.

After they left, Lu Yan quickly adjusted his mood and knocked on the door.

The room was very quiet, making the knock on the door very clear, but no one answered for a long time.Lu Yan didn't dare to knock too often, fearing that the old man was resting, so he knocked again and patiently waited outside.

After about five or six minutes, there was movement in the room, and then someone said, "Come in."

Lu Yan pushed the door open and entered the room, only to find that there was no one in the living room, the door on the right was open, and the light was on inside.He walked over and noticed that this was a study room, with a strong smell of ink floating in the air. There was a man with his back to the door, bending over to look at a piece of writing on the desk that had not yet dried.

It turned out that he was writing. No wonder he waited for so long. Fortunately, he didn't disturb him.

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief silently, and knocked on the study door again.

Looking back, Dad heard the clue, looked back, and the moment he saw Lu Yan again, he was slightly stunned for a few seconds, and then he recovered, walked around the desk, sat down on the mahogany armchair on the other side, and said, "Come in and sit down." , don’t stand by the door.”

Gu's father is tall, with a strong physique, and his hair is mostly white, but he hardly looks old. He wears a shirt and a thin cashmere sweater, and wears a pair of eyes on the bridge of his nose. He looks gentle and gentle, although Serious, but not harsh.

Lu Yan entered the room according to the words, opened the armchair on the other side of the desk, and sat down.

"Hi Uncle, I'm Lu Yan." Lu Yan said.

"I know," Papa Gu picked up a teacup on the table, and used the lid to shake the floating leaves in the water, but instead of drinking, he asked, "Where are Jinglin and Yuanzhou?"

Lu Yan said: "Yuan Zhou said that Auntie was in the kitchen, so Jing Lin went over with him to have a look."

Hearing what he said, Papa Gu took a sip of tea and commented: "He still has a heart."

Lu Yan tactfully didn't answer, and looked down at the calligraphy on the table with a soft brush.

After drinking the tea, Papa Gu put down the teacup, saw Lu Yan reading his own handwriting, and asked again: "I heard that you came back from abroad, and you haven't lived in China for two years, do you understand this?"

"I don't understand." Lu Yan said truthfully, "I just think your writing is beautiful."

Papa Gu said: "I used to have a bad temper. I heard that practicing calligraphy can improve my temperament, so I wrote two pictures when I have nothing to do."

Lu Yan was startled, a little moved in his heart, subconsciously said: "Then let Jing Lin practice too, so as not to make you angry all the time."

Gu's father stared at Lu Yanjing for more than a minute, then suddenly smiled and said, "You child, you can be considered self-aware, not bad."

"Uncle," Lu Yan said, "I will trouble you this time with Jing Lin."

"You don't need to say such kind words." Papa Gu said, "I know who you are and what your family does. I also know that you have the ability to solve it yourself. As a parent, there are some things that you don't know when you know them." It's possible to stand by and watch, you understand?"

Lu Yan nodded slowly: "I know, so I still want to thank you."

"Lu Yan, you are a smart person and know a lot." Papa Gu looked at Lu Yan for a moment and asked, "Then can you guess what I asked you to talk about?"

Lu Yan said: "You unilaterally blocked all channels of spreading the scandal. This is only a temporary solution and cannot solve the problem. Follow-up work is needed to appease the public opinion. I think you came to talk to me about this? "

"That's right," Papa Gu said, "but this is just one of them."

"What's more..." Lu Yan clasped his fingers tightly, then relaxed after a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "Do you want me to leave Jing Lin?"

Papa Gu let out a "hmm" and took the time to say, "This is another one."
