Be affectionate

The next morning, Gu Xi drove to the downstairs of Lin You's apartment with the steamed steamed buns.

Enter the house number of Lin You's room before the access control, the doorbell rang for a few seconds, Lin You could see the person in front of the access control from the display screen, and opened the access control lock without saying anything.

This is the place where Gu Xi lived in Lin You for the first time after returning to China.

In addition to delivering breakfast to Lin You, she came here today with a little selfishness.

The door of Lin You's house was ajar, Gu Xi knocked twice and pushed it open, but he didn't see anyone at first glance.

Slippers were already placed at the entrance, Gu Xi changed into them and walked into the room.

Lin You, who had just finished exercising, was arranging the yoga mat with her back facing her.

Lin You only wore a sports vest on her upper body, and she could see her healthy skin and tight waist and back.

There is no trace of fat on the waist, not particularly slender, but graceful and full of strength.

The tight abdominal muscles loomed with her movements when she turned sideways, and the sweatpants on her lower body also outlined her perfect buttocks and sexy legs.

Gu Xi stared blankly for a moment.

In her impression, Lin You's body was still that of a young girl, white and tender, and the flesh on her belly and arms was soft and easy to pinch.

Under the catalysis of time, Gu Xi truly realized that Lin You is a thoroughly mature woman now.

Lin You shook her hair, stuffed the yoga mat into the cabinet, took out ice cubes from the refrigerator beside her, poured them into a cup, and turned to pick up the coffee from the coffee machine.

Feeling Gu Xi's scorching gaze, Lin You's heart was still a little dark, but his face was pretending to be calm.

"Not for breakfast?"

Gu Xi immediately regained consciousness, said "Oh", and took out the packed steamed buns and soybean milk and set them up.

At the same time, she is paying attention to the decoration style and furnishings of the apartment where Lin You lives, which should be Lin You's preference.

Gu Xi secretly remembered it in his heart.

Xiaolongbao is the one that Lin You loves to eat since he was a child. Gu Xi, like Aunt Lin, bought a lot and kept them in the refrigerator. Lin You can take them out and steam them whenever he wants to eat.

The soy milk is freshly ground this morning, with some pumpkin added, the color is orange, which makes people look very appetizing.

In the previous morning, Lin You always had a cup of coffee with a wholemeal tortilla, even if he had had breakfast, and he might have some salad or chicken breast to eat with it when he was resting on weekends.

Like this kind of pure Chinese breakfast, Lin You will have a bite when he returns to Lin's house, and he has never bothered in the days when he lives.

She finds it troublesome.

Gu Xi added some milk to the soy milk, which was fragrant and smooth in the mouth, and it was a perfect match with the sweet steamed buns.

When the morning light came in, Lin You suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time she had had breakfast with someone in this apartment.

It was still the person she had liked for many years and could never forget.

Lin You's mood is somewhat complicated.

From that day on, Gu Xi drove Lin You to and from get off work almost every day, including Lin You's breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea.

Except for the afternoon of the first day when Gu Xi made an excuse to invite colleagues together, after that Gu Xi would ask Lin You alone on WeChat.

[Want to have raw coconut latte or caramel macchiato today? 】

The questions also contain specific options, so that Lin You can choose immediately, and don't give her the opportunity to easily find an excuse to refuse.

Along with the drinks, there must be snacks made by Gu Xi himself.

Sometimes it is cookies, sometimes it is cake rolls, and occasionally there are Chinese desserts such as butterfly cakes or some egg yolk cakes.

Lin You couldn't help but start worrying about what time Gu Xi would get up every day, and what time would he go to bed in order to prepare the food.

She originally only wanted to participate in the case of the bipolar group, so as not to take advantage of Gu Xi, but as the days went by, she participated more and more.

Before he knew it, he seemed to be pushed and pulled by Gu Xi again, and walked forward at the rhythm of taking care of Xi for an unknown distance.

It's another Friday.

Lin You and Gu Xi went to the parking lot after signing the contract with the Bipolar Group.

The car that Gu Xi bought has already been picked up, and now Lin You's car has been staying in the parking lot downstairs of the apartment building, and she takes Gu Xi's car to and from get off work every day.

After getting into the car, Lin You said to Gu Xi, "Don't cook for the next few days, I'm going to City A on a business trip tomorrow."

"City A?"

Gu Xi didn't hear Lin You mention the business trip, nor did he hear it from the planning department.

And she just confirmed with Lin You that she will go back to see grandpa together tomorrow.

How can you go on a business trip so well?

Gu Xi was a little nervous, wondering if he was too proactive, putting pressure on Lin You and trying to avoid her.

Lin You said: "I just received an invitation letter from a company in City A, and they invited me to attend their company's anniversary celebration."

This company is still the contract that Lin You negotiated the week before, in order to paralyze her work.

The small company has just started, but Lin You's publicity plan was so effective that it brought three times the order volume within a week of advertising.The boss is very grateful to Lin You, and made her honor this anniversary.

Normally, Lin You would decline this kind of invitation, but at this moment, she felt that she needed some time and space to think about the relationship between her and Gu Xi.

Lin You had no special reaction to Gu Xi's confession in the office that day, but he was still deeply touched in his heart.

Of course she knew Gu Xi's past sufferings, and also knew Gu Xi's nervousness and care and the burdens he was carrying.

Now Gu Xi is willing to open his heart to let Lin You take a good look at it. Lin You understands Gu Xi's determination.

At the moment when Gu Xi held her hand affectionately and confessed, she even had the urge to agree immediately.

But it wasn't just the elders of the Lin family who stood in front of her and Gu Xi.

Lin You couldn't be sure whether Gu Xi really liked her, or if he was kind to her because of gratitude.

During these days, Gu Xi really cared for her in every possible way, even things that Lin You didn't think of, Gu Xi would take care of them for her one by one.

But it was just this little bit of uncertainty that made Lin You unable to make up his mind.

So this invitation came at a very good time, Lin You felt that the relationship between her and Gu Xi needed to cool down for a while.

"Then I'll take you to the airport tomorrow." Gu Xi guessed that Lin You's business trip must have other meanings, so Gu Xi didn't ask.

Lin You is so smart, she must have her own thoughts and plans, Gu Xi fastened her seat belt and looked at her: "What time is the plane?"

Lin You: "Ten o'clock."

Gu Xi nodded: "It's time to have breakfast. Although City A is not far away, it's better to eat something easy to digest when flying. Is it okay to eat noodles?"

She knew that Lin You didn't like noodles when she was a child, so she used a discussing tone.

"It's all right, I still like eating noodles now."

Lin You thought back in high school, the first time she felt that noodles seemed to be delicious, that was the bowl of beef ramen that Gu Xi ate a few mouthfuls of.

Later, after Gu Xi left, when she was studying in Hong Kong City, she would go to a beef noodle shop every week to order a bowl.

It's a pity that when the ramen in the northwest reaches the south, it is a bit like orange in the south and orange in the north, and the texture and taste of the noodles are always a little bit worse.

After she came back, she went back to Ruize's cafeteria and asked a student to buy a beef noodle for her.

It soothes the wrinkles in my heart as I sit down to eat.

Perhaps because of eating noodles everywhere in Hong Kong City in those years, Lin You actually likes noodles now.

Especially a noodle shop in city B, where she would go to eat occasionally when she was hungry.

Gu Xi found that Lin You seemed to have really changed a lot.

Taste habits, as well as temper and character.

In the past, Lin You would definitely say what she had, and never liked to hide her thoughts and feelings.

The power of time is really powerful.

She was trying to learn to be honest, but Lin You began to become restrained.

The next morning, Gu Xi bought some fresh vegetables and meat at the morning market, and went directly to the apartment to cook breakfast for Lin You.

After breakfast, Gu Xi drove Lin You to the airport. Before getting off the car, Lin You said to Gu Xi: "No need to send it, I will go in by myself."

Seeing that her luggage was indeed only a small carry-on case, Gu Xi nodded and said, "Then you should pay attention to safety on the road, and give me a call when you arrive, I will not turn off the phone."

Lin You was silent for a while, and Gu Xi quietly sat in the car with her.

Watching the planes take off into the sky in the distance, make a huge roar, go straight to the sky, and disappear into the dazzling blue.

More than 40 minutes later, Lin You's flight took off on time.

Gu Xi was still sitting in the car, still staring ahead, watching the plane carrying the person she liked lift off and gradually disappear from her sight.

Lin You, who was sitting in the cabin, looked down through the glass window, and the city buildings became miniature landscapes in just a few seconds. She could no longer see the lane outside the airport clearly, and she didn't know if Gu Xi was still there. Watch her there.

The two of them simultaneously remembered the conversation before parting.

After the long silence was over, Lin You looked at Gu Xi and asked, "Gu Xi, have you ever thought about whether you really like me, or are you grateful for my kindness to you?"

Gu Xi didn't answer immediately, but lowered his eyes.

Lin You's heart couldn't help but sink for a second, the word "forget it" stuck in his throat, and when he was about to say it, Gu Xi held her hand, smiling firmly and warmly.

"We really have a tacit understanding. I have thought about the question you asked me before. I know that sometimes love and gratitude are very similar, but they are not contradictory. No one likes a person who treats himself badly, right? It may not be so absolute, but I like you, no matter what the cause is, but it turned into love. Love is a chemical reaction, but it cannot be purely just a momentary passion.

"Love is born in an instant, but it also slowly matures and becomes firm in the superposition of several moments.

"Lin You, I'm sure I like you. Since seven years ago, this liking has never stopped, and it will not change in the future. This is my truest mood now."

One month later, it is officially entering the late autumn season.

The last autumn rain fell last night, and almost swept away most of the leaves on the branches. Occasionally, a few struggled to spin in the bleak wind in the morning, refusing to fall.

Gu Xi was talking to Qin Yi with the phone between her shoulders and ears, while looking through her bag for the car keys.

"Little Xi, the taro cake you made last time was so delicious that grandpa couldn't count it once he ate it. I asked my aunt to control the amount for him, but he was fine. He sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to find something to eat. Auntie I got up in the middle of the night and thought there was a thief in the house, so scared the whole family that I almost called the police!"

Qin Yi and Gu Xi complained about Grandpa's greedy mouth, but there was a full smile in his tone.

"Then I'll make snacks for grandpa once a month, so that he won't eat too much." Gu Xi found the car keys and unlocked the car.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Lin's angry voice came from afar.

"Little Xi! Don't listen to Aunt Qin, you should bring taro cakes when you come tomorrow, otherwise Grandpa will be angry!"

Gu Xi coaxed Mr. Lin with a good temper: "Okay, okay, and taro cakes."

After Gu Xi hung up the phone with a smile, he located the supermarket and went to buy some betel nut taro. This kind of taro has a strong fragrance and is the best taro cake.

Ever since she sent Lin You on a business trip to City A, she and Lin You haven't seen each other for a whole month.

At the beginning, Lin You met the boss of A Cheng’s largest urban construction group at that company’s anniversary celebration, and the cooperation intention was confirmed at the reception. Originally, it was only a matter that could be concluded in a weekend. Because of this cooperation, Lin You was in the I stayed in City A for nearly a month.

After finishing work in City A, Lin You was supposed to come back a week ago. As a result, a company that LC worked with had a dispute with LC. The boss discussed with Lin You. City A is not far from City C. For an hour, let her go directly to City C to deal with the matter before coming back.

A full month of tossing has passed.

Gu Xi knew from Li Ximing that Lin You had arranged a plane ticket to come back tonight.

But Lin You didn't tell her, so Gu Xi pretended not to know and didn't ask.

During this month, she would send Lin You the weather forecast of the day and the delicious restaurants in City A every morning.

At noon, I will ask her if she has eaten on time, and if there is anything she needs to help with work.

Sometimes Lin You would reply to her, sometimes not.

In the middle, Gu Xi called her once, and she also talked a lot on the phone, while Lin You didn't talk much, and occasionally there was a second or two of silence.

During Lin You's absence, Gu Xi's daily life and his routine, going to and from get off work, cooking three meals a day by himself, going back to Lin's house on weekends, visiting grandpa, Qin Yi and Lin Peiming, and having dinner with the elders Meal and chat.

Grandpa would sometimes pull Gu Xi to play chess together. Gu Xi didn't know how to do it at first, but she had a good brain, just like playing games with Lin You back then. After playing a few games with grandpa, she quickly learned it.

The days are so ordinary that Gu Xi sometimes thinks that time has stood still.

If the leaves hadn't started to turn yellow, if the temperature hadn't started to drop, she really felt as if each day and week was replicating the time before.

Qin Yi did ask Gu Xi once.

"What's the situation with you and Xiaoyou now?"

Gu Xi said truthfully: "I'm chasing Xiaoyou, and the previous leaving without saying goodbye caused her a lot of harm. Now I want to make up for her. So no matter what her choice is in the end, I want to be with her I have been taking care of her by my side."

"Xiaoyou is my daughter, and I am a mother. No matter what I say, it sounds like I am speaking for her. However, because Xiaoyou is my daughter, I understand her better than anyone else, even herself. .”

Qin Yi held Gu Xi's hand and said with a smile: "She looks like she doesn't care about anything on the surface, but in fact, the more she cares about the things, the more she is afraid of losing them. Especially for things that have been lost once, she will be more cautious and careful , give her some time, she will definitely choose the answer in her heart."

Gu Xi knew that Lin You was a sign of lack of security.

And the person who shattered Lin You's sense of security was himself back then.

No matter how much time it takes Lin You to rebuild this sense of security, she is willing to wait, accompany her, and build it together.

At the supermarket, Gu Xi picked out a bag of taro, and went to the flour section to buy a bag of flour and eggs.

Because the old house was being renovated, Gu Xi rented an apartment in the apartment building opposite where Lin You lived.

After Gu Xi confirmed that he wanted to formally pursue Lin You, the first thing he did was to contact the home improvement company he had consulted before, and after inviting a designer to measure the old house, he discussed a complete decoration plan.

When I went to Lin You's apartment that time, Gu Xi carefully remembered the decoration style and color matching of Lin You's home. The shared memories of Xi and grandparents.

A car and a newly renovated old house spent most of Gu Xi's savings.

But this is Gu Xi's most basic confidence and courage to face this relationship.

Putting the flour and taro in the back seat, Gu Xi saw a WeChat message from Lin You after getting in the car.

[You don't need to pick me up on the plane tonight, just to tell you. 】

In the departure hall of City C Airport.

Lin You regretted a little after sending this message to Gu Xi.

I don't know if it's because she hasn't seen Gu Xi for a month, and now that she's going back, she feels a little timid.

Soon Gu Xi sent a reply.

【it is good】

Not a word, not even a punctuation mark.

Are you really not coming?

Lin You was a little depressed, looking at the gift she bought for Gu Xi in the gift bag at hand, the corners of her mouth were tightly drawn into a line.

Soon, that good word was withdrawn.

Gu Xi's WeChat name changed to the person typing.

The message that was quickly withdrawn turned into two sentences.

[Sorry, I just clicked send before finishing typing. 】

[It's late, I'd better pick you up, I'm afraid you won't be able to take a taxi. 】

The straight line at the corner of Lin You's mouth gradually turned into an upward arc. After reading these two sentences again, he sent two words.

【casual. 】

The plane landed at nine o'clock in the evening, and as soon as Lin You came out, he saw Gu Xi standing among the crowd.

After autumn, the weather became cooler, and Gu Xi put on a windbreaker. Her hair was much longer than when she first returned to China, and it was tied up in a small pull at the back of her head.

Still without makeup, her pale skin stands out in the poorly lit airport hall.

I haven't seen him for a month, does this person look better again?

As Lin You approached, she saw that Gu Xi's pink lips had a soft luster, as if she had applied lip balm.

She remembered that when she kissed Gu Xi before, Gu Xi's lip balm was strawberry-flavored, and she wondered if it also smelled that way today.

Pressing down on the suddenly floating mind, Lin You threw the gift bag in his hand to Gu Xi.

"When I came back, I bought some souvenirs for Grandpa and Ms. Qin. I didn't notice that I bought an extra copy, and I gave it to you."

Naturally, it is impossible to buy an extra copy. Gu Xi knew that Lin You just said that on purpose, and smiled sweetly while holding the gift bag.

"Thank you, I have something to give you too."

Lin You wanted to ask what it was, but she didn't want Gu Xi to feel that she was looking forward to it.

But Gu Xi didn't have anything to say, so he helped Lin You pull the suitcase, and the two went to the parking lot.

When they got in the car, Gu Xi still didn't say anything to Lin You, but only told her about going back to Lin's house tomorrow.

"Before your business trip, you said that you would go back to see grandpa together, but you didn't come back. Will you be together tomorrow? Or do you want to rest at home for two days?"

"casual."

Lin You's mind was full of what Gu Xi was going to give her, so she replied subconsciously.

"Then let's have breakfast together tomorrow and then go home together?"

"up to you."

Along the way, Gu Xi still didn't talk about the gift, Lin You closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, secretly angry.

Is Gu Xi trying to whet her appetite?

Sensing the speed of the car slowing down, Lin You opened her eyes and saw the entrance of the apartment's underground garage. She said coldly, "You don't need to go into the basement. I can just get off here and walk in."

The entrance of the garage is not well designed, the turn is almost at a right angle, Gu Xi stepped on the brakes, and accidentally scratched it while concentrating on it, and took the time to answer Lin You: "I'm going home too, I just happened to be on the way and get on the elevator together."

Lin You's head raised a "?"

"What do you mean you go home too?"

After Gu Xi stabilized the car, he turned his head to look at Lin You, "I'm moving here."

moved here?What's the meaning?

Lin You couldn't imagine it, and saw Gu Xi pointing to the storage compartment of the co-pilot in front of him.

"Open it and have a look, it's a gift from me."

Lin You's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she muttered, "What?"

He opened the storage compartment with his hand, and there was only a black box inside, which was as flat as a wallet.

necklace?earrings?Scarves?wallet?

In just one second, Lin You had countless guesses in his mind about what Gu Xi would give her.

"For me?"

Lin You took out the box, her heart was beating so fast that she was about to take off, but her face remained calm and even a little cold.

"Ah."

Gu Xi nodded, she was no better than Lin You, her palms were so nervous that her palms became damp.

The black box was opened, and Lin You saw a key, a passbook and a bank card inside.

Gu Xi said: "I have renovated the old house, and it is estimated that it will be completed in half a month. The passbook is the pension of my grandfather, and the bank card is the money I have saved over the years, but there is not much money in it. I bought a car and refurbished it, and the remaining money is less than 5 yuan. The next quarter’s bonus is estimated to be [-] yuan, and I will deposit it after it is issued.”

"Give me what to do with this."

Even though Lin You tried his best to control his emotions, his tone of voice was still a little nasal.

Gu Xi looked at Lin You solemnly.

"It's all about me. I want you to accept that I have a future."
