Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

The next day, Luo Xiazhi and the others returned to Shanghai amidst Liang Shaolong's unfinished thoughts and Li Ye's reluctance.

After separating from Gu Hanlin at the train station, Luo Xiazhi got into the car sent by Luo's family to pick him up, and drove to his home.

Looking at the still bustling streets of Shanghai outside the car, and smelling the air of a big city with a slight smell of coking coal, which is completely different from that of the suburbs of Suzhou, Luo Xiazhi thought of the day when Li Ye sent himself to Suzhou Railway Station in the morning. Words spoken on the road.

In order to let the two of them "talk well", Liang Shaolong gave up his beloved Ford car very rarely, and took another car with Gu Hanlin to the train station.

"Cousin, you are in big trouble."

As soon as he got into the car, Liang Shaolong clicked his tongue twice, then shook his head again and again, looking as if he didn't want to beat him.

Gu Hanlin looked at him without saying a word, to see what he was about to vomit... ivory.

"In order to help you, cousin, I stopped Xiaoxia in the corridor last night. I asked him what he thought of you, what's the matter with you hanging up and down like this. How about it--as a brother, do this step , have nothing to say?"

Gu Hanlin said "Oh?" and tilted his body slightly towards him, "How did Xia Zhi answer?"

"He said—it's none of your business."

Following Luo Xiazhi's tone, he said in a calm and somewhat indifferent tone.

After finishing speaking, Liang Shaolong pushed the "air glasses frame" that did not exist on the bridge of his nose.

Don't say it, it's quite similar.

Unable to help laughing for a while, Gu Hanlin put his fist under his nose in embarrassment and coughed twice in an attempt to cover it up.

"Then I asked him again—what do you think of me?"

Gu Hanlin was silent, and raised his fist smoothly.

"He said—I don't like you like that. Then he left."

Liang Shaolong said angrily.

Fist down.

Liang Shaolong scratched the back of his head, put his hands on Gu Hanlin's shoulders, and said thoughtfully, "Cousin, I think there is something wrong with your Xiaoxia?"

"What's the problem? What's the problem if you don't like you?"

Seeing you is the problem.

"I asked him this because I wanted to test out what kind of man he likes. You can write, I can fight. You have culture, and I have money. The two of us are so handsome, we are simply the best of men, yes wrong?"

"Well……"

It was difficult for Gu Hanlin to say "no", but if he said "right", he seemed as shameless as Liang Shaolong.

After all, he is also a dignified principal after all, and he cannot be as "shameless" as this person.

"I went back to the room and analyzed it. He doesn't even like 'boutique men' like us, so there are only two reasons——"

Liang Shaolong stretched out two fingers.

"One, he doesn't like men, you are completely useless."

Gu Hanlin's heart sank little by little.

This is what he fears the most.

He became aware of his sexuality when he was in junior high school, and after a very painful struggle, he gradually accepted himself who could not be tolerated by the world.

In this era when "carrying on the family line" is the most important life event, even if they know their sexual orientation, some people will choose to marry and have children, and choose to be a so-called "normal person".

Among the several "boyfriends" that Gu Hanlin had dated before, one suddenly disappeared one day after being with him for several years.

The next day, I saw the news that the other party was married to the daughter of a high-ranking official in the newspaper.

From then on, until he met Luo Xiazhi, he couldn't get out of that shadow for a long time.

Although he has now recognized that Luo Xiazhi is the love of his life, he must hold him in his arms.But if the other party really likes a woman...

Then he, then he...

Gu Hanlin secretly clenched his fists under the bamboo cloth robe, and tightly pursed his mouth.

He couldn't bear the heart-piercing pain a second time...

"There is another possibility—he doesn't like a handsome man like us—him! Hi! Like! Ugly!"

Liang Shaolong didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Gu Hanlin, and after he finished speaking every word, he patted his shoulder and made an indescribable expression.

Gu Hanlin raised his fist and lowered it three times, finally he couldn't hold back, and beat him violently in the back seat of the car by pressing his head.

Sure enough, a dog can't spit out ivory!

----------------

"Master, if you are free recently, you should pay more attention to Miss Xiaoxiao."

Sitting in the back seat of the Ford car, before Luo Xiazhi could apologize on behalf of Gu Hanlin and Liang Shaolong, Li Ye spoke first.

"Smile... Something's not quite right recently."

I'm ashamed to say that Luo Xiazhi is too busy, and Xiaoxiao is only at home on Sunday - there is no such thing as a weekend at this time.

And even if he's at home on Sunday, he still has a lot of things to do, or have a dinner party, or go out for a walk with Gu Hanlin...Basically, he doesn't spend much time and attention on this little girl.

As for Xiaoxiao's own father, Luo Yunze, let's not talk about it, being able to have breakfast together every morning is already his limit as the "head of the family".

"What's wrong with her? How do you know she's not right recently?"

"Actually, I have been in correspondence with Ms. Xiaoxiao. It looks like I write one every week."

Li Ye lowered his head, "She didn't ask me to tell the young master."

Luo Xiazhi knew that their relationship was good, but he didn't expect it to be this good.Is it because Li Ye often helped her with her homework before?

"Smile at her... Did something happen to you at school?"

Li Ye nodded.

"Miss has a very good friend at school, she is the eldest lady of Yangzhou Sauce Garden, surnamed Zhou."

"The family who runs a soy sauce garden actually sends their children to a girls' church school? It seems that this little Miss Zhou is quite doted on."

"That's right, Miss Zhou is loved by her father... But last month, Miss Zhou's father jumped into the Huangpu River."

"what?"

"His father was tricked by someone and lost all his wealth in a bet. He had no choice but to jump the Huangpu River. It was also published in the newspaper a few days ago..."

"It sounds like I glanced at it... I didn't expect it to happen to Xiaoxiao's classmate's house."

Shanghai is a beach, every day people come by boat and get rich overnight at the wharf of the Huangpu River.Some people either went bankrupt or were killed, and became a ray of resentment on the river.

This kind of thing is happening every day, and if you watch it too much, it is inevitable that you will not take it seriously.After all, everyone is busy with his own livelihood, how much time can he care about other people's misfortune?

"So Xiaoxiao was hit by this incident..."

After all, he is still a child at heart, and compared with adults, he is more able to understand the sorrow in it.

"After Miss Zhou's father jumped into the river, her family did not allow her to study in school and sent her back to her hometown in Yangzhou."

Li Ye lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists, "Her mother brought her younger brother to continue living in Shanghai, but sent her back...Miss Zhou was abandoned by her mother."

——Who said I like my younger brother, I hate my younger brother the most!

That day when he was holding Ah Bao, when Sixth Sister was packing his clothes, Xiaoxiao suddenly yelled at them and then ran away, so it was because of this.

Luo Xiazhi took off the glasses from the bridge of his nose and sighed long.

He always thought that Xiaoxiao would be like this when she was in the rebellious period, but it turned out that she was hit like this.

Xiaoxiao's mother, also known as his "sister-in-law", passed away shortly after giving birth to Xiaoxiao. It is said that the elder brother's attitude was quite indifferent at that time, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the sister-in-law's natal family...

It must be because of his mother, Bai Fenghuang.The eldest brother gave all his love to his mother, and the marriage with his sister-in-law was a complete commercial marriage, not to mention love or hate, but to fulfill his nominal responsibilities.

The eldest brother treats Xiaoxiao pretty well, but he is a father after all, so he can't do everything by himself like a mother. He just sent more servants to take care of her, and sent her to the best school.

Thinking about it now, Xiaoxiao was sent to a boarding school at the age of five. Firstly, it might be because she is really precocious, and secondly... maybe the eldest brother really doesn't want to see her at home.

No matter how good Qiaodi and Aunt Lin are, they can't make up for the pain of losing her mother's love, especially after witnessing how the new mother Luo Minmin loves Abao, and just happened to catch up with the unfortunate incident of Miss Zhou... …

So she hates Bao, and also hates the family members who have neglected her for a while.

A child's heart is the most sensitive and fragile. She lost her best friend at school, and she couldn't get all the attention when she returned home, so she has been "making the world" during this time...

"I see. Thank you, Xiaoye."

Luo Xiazhi reached out and touched Li Ye's head, and the latter lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Then can I continue to communicate with Miss Xiaoxiao in the future?"

"Of course. And if it doesn't involve this kind of principled issue, you don't need to tell me what you said between you."

Children have their own world, and there is no need for adults to get too involved.

Luo Xiazhi was quite at ease with the young and mature Li Ye looking at Gu Xiaoxiao.

After all, he can handle even Liang Shaolong, a "big friend".

----------------

It was another Saturday, Xiaoxiao took Qiaodi and Aunt Lin out of the school gate, and waited at the gate for the arrival of the car from Luo Mansion.

The girls who go to school in this women's church school are all rich and expensive, so at this moment, the cars at the school gate are lined up from one end of the road to the other end of the road.The girls greeted each other and promised to see each other on Monday.

Xiaoxiao carried her schoolbag, lowered her head, looked at her toes silently, and didn't even pay attention to her classmates saying goodbye to her.

"Miss, get in the car."

A Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her, and Ale happily waved to the three of them, master and servant.

"Ale? Why is Nong coming to pick up Miss today? Where's Lao Chen?"

Aunt Lin put the suitcase in the back seat and asked inexplicably.

"It was the third young master who asked me to pick up the lady. We won't go home for a while, so we will go to the department store first. The third young master told me that there is a gift for the young lady."

"Gift? What gift?"

Seeing Ale's mysterious face, Xiaoxiao and the three master and servant looked at each other suspiciously, but they didn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Okay, from now on, Miss, please tie this ribbon."

A group of people walked into the elevator, Ale took out a dark blue ribbon from his pocket, and covered Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"What kind of 'gift' is that? Today is not Xiaoxiao's birthday."

Seeing that A Le is so cautious, and thinking that his third uncle is the most pleasing, Xiao Xiao, who has been in a low mood, can't help but jump up curiously.

"I'll know right away. It's no fun talking about it now."

The elevator reached the top floor, and Ale walked slowly towards the roof with her smiling little hand.

"God..."

There was darkness in front of him, but Qiaodi and Aunt Lin were gasping for air, smiling and curiously scratching their hearts.

"Brother A Le, can you take down the ribbon? Why do I hear the sound of music? Ah, I also heard a lot of people laughing."

Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore, and before Ale could answer, she tore off the silk scarf.

"Wow!"

Lele's eyes suddenly widened.

what is this?Is this heaven?

In front of her eyes was a field of lights that were emitting splendor.A picture woven by countless small light bulbs is above her head at this moment, as if the stars in the sky are within reach.

Dozens of electric lights illuminate the entire rooftop like daytime, and men and women dressed like princes and princesses from fairy tales walk around.

"Ah—isn't that sister Xiaofeiyan?"

A "princess" in a tutu skirt held a colorful cupcake in her hand and walked towards her with a smile on her face.

"Come on, my dear little princess—the party is on!"

Xiao Feiyan took Xiaoxiao's hand and led her to the crowd.

"Cotton candy, it's colorful cotton candy!"

"Balloon, I want a balloon!"

"What is that? Ah! Someone is singing. No wonder I heard music just now."

Xiaoxiao felt that he had walked into a dreamlike world.Here is a clown who is throwing a ball, there is a monkey doing somersaults, a beautiful sister in a sailor suit is singing on the stage, and unknown men and women embrace and dance along with the singing, Shi Mai dressed as a prince and princess The salesmen shuttled among them with mellow wine and sweet snacks.

"Dear little princess, how are you?"

Hearing her name, she turned her head with a smile, only to see a big bear standing behind her, who was as tall as a real person.

That big brown bear is not scary at all, it looks naive like it stepped out of a foreign picture book, and it holds a fairy wand tied with a pink ribbon in its fat bear paw.

"Little princess, here it is for you."

"Big Bear" bent down and handed the fairy wand to Xiaoxiao's hand.

"thanks……"

Xiaoxiao took it with both hands politely, hugged it cherishingly in front of her chest, raised her head shyly and smiled at "Big Bear", but felt that the voice of "Big Bear" was so familiar.

"Little princess, who do you think I am?"

"Big Bear" took off the head of the doll, revealing the true face of Lushan behind.

Luo Xiazhi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his "bear paw", and waved his hand to the dumbfounded smile.

"Hey! Don't you know me?"

"Third Uncle! It's Third Uncle!"

Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide.

"Do you like this gift?"

"I...I like it so much!"

Xiaoxiao jumped up suddenly, Luo Xiazhi stepped back half a step, and hugged her tightly with both hands.

"Crack!"

The flash was on, recording this warm and lovely scene.

The next day, on the front page of "Shenzhen" was a photo of the third young master of the Luo family in a doll costume, hugging the young lady of the Luo family, who was smiling brightly like a flower, in a brilliant light.

"The trial operation was a success!The first rooftop playground in Shanghai was born! "

Pointing the front page of the newspaper at Gu Hanlin, Luo Xiazhi smiled triumphantly.

"As I said, I'm going to build a playground on the roof—a playground for adults and kids alike! Look, I've done it!"

"you did it."

Seeing his childlike expression, Gu Hanlin couldn't help but smile.

He walked around behind Luo Xiazhi's desk, bent down, and stretched out his right index finger to hook him.

"what?"

Luo Xiazhi put down the newspaper and moved his head suspiciously.

"Here's a reward for you..."

Suddenly, the memory of the rooftop jumped into his mind.

Want to lie to me again?

He widened his eyes, covered his forehead with his hands, and was just about to say a mocking word triumphantly, but a deep kiss greeted his slightly parted lips in the next second.

Gu Hanlin lowered his head and looked at him with his eyes wide open and his head covered.While continuing to deepen the kiss, he reached out and pulled his two arms off his head, and put them around his neck.

The hot tongue slipped into the mouth, and the lips pressed together tightly.Seeing that he did not resist, Gu Hanlin took his warm breath almost greedily, looked at his trembling eyelashes, and clamped his waist with both hands.

"Well……"

A piece of water rippled behind Luo Xiazhi's lens, and the red glow flew onto the cheeks of both of them at the same time.

Gu Hanlin secretly sighed in his heart that it was not easy for him, and it took him four years to get to where he is today!

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door of the office, breaking up the charming atmosphere in the room.

"Manager Luo, is the manager there? The supplier is here and is waiting for you to go to a meeting."

It's Yin Wen, the secretary.

The two people who were stuck together finally separated. Gu Hanlin smiled and wiped away the crystal water on Luo Xiazhi's lips with his thumb, smiling maliciously.

"Don't say it, the technology is okay."

Luo Xiazhi stared at him in embarrassment, went to the full-length mirror by the desk and straightened his clothes, then opened the door of the office and walked out.

"Secretary Yin, help me send Principal Gu out later. I'll go directly to the conference room for the meeting."

He pretended to be cold and said.

"Oh well."

Gu Hanlin walked to the door, watched him walk to the door leisurely, almost staggered, his back with weak legs and feet curled up his lips in a good mood.He didn't need to be escorted by anyone, and walked downstairs in three steps at a time.

"Damn it... whose 'reward' is it..."

Walking to the meeting room, Luo Xiazhi cursed viciously while touching his still hot lips with the back of his hand.
