Chapter 21 Hawthorn and Crucian Carp Soup

"New?" I met her gaze directly, and she only answered it, then turned back.

She wasn't anxious about saying the wrong thing, but rather distressed.It's like suddenly taking a job that I'm not familiar with, and I don't know how to start.

I felt complicated for a while, and I was quite at a loss for the information revealed in her words.Curiosity and subtle jealousy both arise spontaneously, but I can't ask.

After a while, she said tentatively, "It's really impolite to ask like that just now, Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry."

I pursed my lips and gave a generous look: "It's okay." Then I stared at her and waited for the next article.

She considered: "Don't worry too much, I'm asking you this because Mr. Gu hasn't let anyone enter his house for a long, long time, but he asked me to take you home today without any other explanation. I'm really not sure about your position..."

"Are you his assistant?" I asked.

"Ouch, don't call me that, you can call me Mengmeng or Xiaoliang..." She interrupted me hastily, her tone of voice carried the unique cadence of Beijingers.

I haven't heard this accent for many years, and when I heard it suddenly, my heart swayed.Only then did I realize that I really returned to my hometown where I was born and grew up.

Turning to look out of the window, the trees on the side of the road are bare, unlike Haibao's greenery all the year round.The contrast that came out of the comparison finally hit my consciousness, and I was suddenly sad.

Mengmeng went on to say: "I'm his life assistant, and I've followed him since he first came into contact with the entertainment industry. When I first came, Mrs. Gu had a partner, and then separated in the second year. Until now, I haven't let him go. People went through his door."

"Oh." I asked lightly, "Are there many doors that haven't been entered?"

"Well..." She looked at me from the rearview mirror, probably having judged my position, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng, don't you still know the charm of Mr. Gu? So, what do you think?"

I nodded slightly to show my understanding.He lowered his gaze and said nothing.

Cars driving through the city are all scenery that I am not familiar with or even recognize.Facing this city, even if I have done psychological construction before, I still feel uneasy and unfamiliar at this moment, more than any other emotion.

After more than ten minutes, the car drove into a high-end residential area within the third ring road, called Yimingyuan.

Entering the main entrance of the community is a huge rockery. The man-made scenery on it is quite unique. The whole rockery stands in a pool, and the water from the mountain flows into the pool, which is full of vitality in this sluggish autumn.After the amazing gate scenery, the community also shows quite elegant taste everywhere.

It's obviously not cheap here, somewhat beyond my imagination of Gu Yu's economic conditions.

Gu Yu's home is located in a building that seems to be at the top of the price in the community. The scenery and facilities downstairs of this building are very superior, and there is a 24-hour convenience store.

Mengmeng parked the car in front of the building, took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, and even changed her words: "Brother Zheng, since you are Teacher Gu's boyfriend, if you need me in the future, just Call me."

I took the business card, glanced at it, and smiled at her: "Thank you."

The buildings in the community only have a dozen floors, and Gu Yu's home is on the ninth floor.

Mengmeng escorted me to the door, and watched me insert the key and turn the doorknob, looking relieved.Then tell me the general situation of this community and the surrounding environment.

From beginning to end, she did not enter the door.

"Can't the assistant come in?" I asked.

She shrugged: "Yes, yes, but it's best not to enter. Mr. Gu... really doesn't like others entering his house."

I heard the element of temptation again from her words, but I really didn't know that Gu Yu still had this rule, let alone the reason, and I really couldn't satisfy her curiosity.

"Thank you for your hard work, myself, cough, get acquainted with it." I looked at the house behind me and said.

She covered her mouth and giggled, nodded her head and waved her hands: "Brother Zheng, I think you are very nice. I wish you and Mr. Gu a happy relationship for a hundred years! Goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, he walked briskly... This little girl is quite cute after getting to know her well.

Gu Yu's house is big and tidy, very different from the mess when he lived in a B&B.The decoration is simple, and the functionality of each area is clear at a glance.

The living room and the balcony are very spacious, especially the living room, the sofas are close to the wall, occupying as little space as possible, and there is a complete open space in the middle, which may be convenient for him to practice dancing.

It's less like a home and more like... a place to work.

Looking around, there are only rose vines wrapped around the balcony railings, making this place look a bit lively.

This season, the roses are almost withered, only some yellow leaves are dotted on the vines.But according to the climbing area and situation, one can imagine how lush it is in summer.

The doors of all the rooms in the house are open, put the luggage in the living room, and look at each room.Master bedroom, guest room, study room, and a dedicated dance practice room.

Finally go to the kitchen.

It's a separate room, and quite spacious.As he said, the kitchen counter was covered with all kinds of cookware, the ones I used most--some still had the labels, which, needless to say, were bought for me.

Really let me play.

I stayed in the kitchen for a while, took a picture, sent it to him, and said "thank you".After a while, I received his reply.

Three voice messages, one asking me if I like it, one saying that there are still some ingredients in the refrigerator but they may not be fresh enough, and one saying that I should rest first if I am tired, and he will not come back in two or three hours.

I wrote back to him, and found that my typing hands were shaking slightly—I was a little moved and overwhelmed.

After getting acquainted with his home, I went out to find the market he had spoken of.

The market is quite big, with everything from vegetables to seafood, the latter is of poor quality, but there is a family that has very good crucian carp, so I picked one.

There is a can of dried hawthorn in his refrigerator, and I am going to make crucian carp and hawthorn soup for him.This soup is a bit time-consuming, so it should be just in time for his return.

Put the hawthorn and the horseshoe with auxiliary flavor into the pot, bring to a boil and then simmer on low heat.During the processing of crucian carp, put it into the oil pan and fry it yellow on both sides, and then add it to the soup that has been boiled for half an hour.Then there is the process of simmering slowly, which can last for more than an hour, or even longer.

Evening came gradually, and the night in the north came earlier.

Looking out from the balcony on the ninth floor, you can see the street outside the community.The lights of the city have gradually spread out, and a kind of prosperity that is different from the daytime is turned on.

This is obviously a scene quite far away from my past life, but looking at it like this, it seems that I know the secrets under it like the back of my hand.

At seven o'clock, it was almost completely dark.

Gu Yu called me and asked me to go downstairs.

I went down and saw him coming out of the car with a large bouquet of beautifully wrapped roses and wearing his daytime sunglasses.Seeing me, he took off his sunglasses, stepped over, stuffed the flowers into my arms, and pushed me into the elevator.

It's not that I confiscated the flowers, but I was a little confused about this bouquet of flowers - he is not such a person who pays attention to formalities and rituals, and he can even be considered sloppy about these.

"Did you buy it?" I asked.

"Well... no. But, I'll see you off." He said with a smile.

I sighed: "Someone gave it to you, and you stuffed it to me?"

He stared at me, and said confidently, "I chose carefully from many bundles."

I:"……"

All right.Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is also a mind.

Take the elevator to the ninth floor, open the door, and go home.He yelled "Aww" and ran to the kitchen without changing his shoes.Then I heard him lift the pot, and the aroma of the food in the house grew stronger.

"Brother Xu, you are really Big Brother Tianluo!" He shouted loudly.

I walked over and saw his smiling face, which was very nice: "Isn't that why you dragged me to Beijing?"

"One." With an honest face, he put up a finger, came over and took my hand, shaking it back and forth coquettishly, "Without you, I really can't eat well. Look, I'm thinner than before, I lost body fat as well.”

He is thinner than when he left Haibao. To be precise, he has returned to his appearance when he first arrived in Haibao. That is the standard physical condition for him to work for a long time.

"But I want you to come, mainly because I want to fall in love with you." He leaned forward and stared into my eyes, "What about you?"

"Me too." I replied without thinking.

His smile overflowed from his eyes, and he said word by word: "Then you must have a good relationship with me, if you have any other purpose, I will hate you."

Hearing this, I was shocked.For a moment, I could barely breathe.I wanted to ask him something, but he didn't give me a chance.

He leaned in and licked my lips, and we hugged, deepening the kiss.The night on the ninth floor was so quiet, the only sound in the kitchen was the soft tumbling sound of soup, which made this kiss extra free.

I pinched the back of his head, and the tip of my tongue penetrated into the depths of his mouth, thinking, there is no reason for me to come here except for loving you.

But he couldn't hear it.

When we parted, he rubbed my neck contentedly, like a cat.This is far more clingy than when he was in Haibao. I just confessed my love to him in my heart, so naturally I enjoy him so much.

The atmosphere was so charming that I couldn't bear to spoil it, so I pressed down on what I wanted to ask just now.

After being so tender for a while, I patted him and said to eat.He let me go, obediently went to get the bowl, and followed me to the restaurant.

This is the most disgusting meal I've ever had.

Everything is new—this "home," this lover, this meal at home with a lover.My heart was full of unknown emotions, and my eyes seemed unable to move away from Gu Yu. No matter what I did, there was always an inch of my eyes on him.

He knew I was looking at him like that and let me go.

He didn't talk to me until he finished eating: "Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm full." I also put it on the chopsticks.

"Really full?" He raised his eyebrows.

I smiled: "No."

He was obviously more satisfied with this answer. He looked at me with sticky eyes and desire gradually brewing.I also saw something similar to obsession in his eyes, which made me feel at ease.

As a result, the unhappiness and anxiety brought about by the information revealed by Mengmeng's words during the day suddenly became unimportant.

No matter who he had before, now, he only belongs to me.
