happy event under the tree

Chapter 25 Unrequited Love

Thinking of Gu Zheng being so kind to him, Gu Xi was anxious, but this vixen was not good enough.

So he thought and thought, and finally thought of getting news from Gu Zheng's acquaintances.

Xu Xunliang was directing the unloading of goods in his wholesale store, and he was quite surprised to see Gu Xi: "Gu Xi, why are you here?"

Gu Xi said obediently: "I have something to ask Brother Xu."

Xu Xunliang asked him to wait, took off his gloves and raincoat, and explained to the staff what to do.

He poured water for Gu Xi: "I haven't looked for you all this time, I still want to apologize to you for what happened in your store last time."

"Don't, don't, brother Xu, it's my fault, I promised others not to tell, I didn't deliberately hide it from you..."

"It's okay. I'm just afraid that you might make a mistake. After much deliberation, I'll tell your brother. After all, this matter is very mysterious. It's best not to get too involved with those things."

"I also know that there is a strong relationship. The luck I have encountered is good, and I dare not mention it in front of my brother." Gu Xi thought of Mu Linyuan who had been by his side recently, and said softly, "But now it's all good. OK."

"That's good." Xu Xunliang patted him on the shoulder, "Whatever your brother says is for your own good."

"Well, I understand." Not wanting to talk too much about monsters, Gu Xi did not forget the purpose of coming today, he asked Xu Xunliang: "Brother Xu, do you have a good relationship with my brother?"

"We are in the same class in high school, and we have known each other for more than ten years now." Xu Xunliang said with a smile, "Why, what do you want to ask today?"

Gu Xi twisted his fingers awkwardly under the table a few times, and it was always embarrassing to discuss his senior's love life: "My brother, he seems to have something on his mind..."

"What's up with him?!"

"Don't worry, it should be about feelings..."

Xu Xunliang was a little surprised: "Emotionally?"

"Yes, he seems to have always had someone he likes. I just want to ask you if you know."

"Boss, it's too windy, come out and help—" the employee shouted outside the door.

"Okay——" Xu Xunliang turned his head and said to Gu Xi, "I'm busy now, why don't I go to your store to find you later, and you can talk to me about it."

"Okay, you go get busy first." Gu Xi said goodbye, and just turned a corner when he went out, with a "Hula", the umbrella was blown upside down by the strong wind.

Before he had time to curse God, an umbrella was moved over his head, as if specially waiting for it.

"It's raining too much, I'll pick you up."

It was Mu Linyuan.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up, looking at the large dark wet marks on the hem of his clothes, the warm current in his heart could not be increased: "How long have you been waiting, you are all wet..."

Mu Linyuan took out a coat and wrapped it around Gu Xi's body, and put his arm around his shoulder: "Let's go, don't get wet."

The warm body temperature made Gu Xi dizzy, and his body reacted before his brain.

Slowly, he also stretched out an arm around Mu Linyuan's waist.How can you expect such an opportunity, just treat yourself as a bear's heart and leopard courage.

It was already evening when Xu Xunliang braved the wind and rain to come to Gu Xi's shop.It was impossible to tell from the dark sky, but it happened that Gu Xi was preparing dinner.

"Brother Xu, you're here, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I want to come and figure this out soon."

Gu Xi didn't expect him to be so anxious, wiped his hands and told him what he had heard about Gu Zheng having someone he liked.

Xu Xunliang pondered for a while: "I probably don't have a clue about this, and he hasn't mentioned it to me. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Then do you know anyone who is close to my brother?"

"Gu Xi, Gu Xi, I know, I know—" the fox's loud voice came from far to near, and it jumped and ran, waving the note in its hand.

"Yeah," Gu Xi hurriedly stood up, "You're here!"

Fortunately, the fox changed back into a human form, and Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, it would be another unclear account.

Xu Xunliang said: "This is?"

Gu Xi introduced: "This is the person who knows my brother's mind by accident, and the person who wants to help my brother."

The fox flicked the water from his hair: "Yes, it's me." He turned to Gu Xi and said excitedly, "As soon as I know, I will run back and tell you, are you moved?!"

"Hurry up, show me!"

"Hey!" The fox handed the paper in his hand to Gu Xi, the paper was drenched in the rain all the way, and the handwriting on it could no longer be read clearly, and when it moved, it fell to the ground with a "crack".

"Ah!" Gu Xi immediately put on a bitter face, "What should I do?"

"Don't get in the rain, I forgot..." The fox looked at the half piece of paper left in his hand, and said, "But, I remember it!"

"Wow, you're awesome, what did you say?"

The fox cleared his throat, enjoying everyone's attention, and began to repeat the content on the paper: "That man is my classmate, I have liked him for ten years, and I will only tell you the secret that has been kept in my heart for so many years , already my wish has been fulfilled. Don't disturb his life, thank you."

In this way, he rejected the help of the fox fairy.

Gu Xi can only pin his hopes on Xu Xunliang: "This is written by my brother. He said that he was a classmate of ten years. That should be your high school classmate. Do you have any impression?"

Xu Xunliang said: "In this way, I probably have someone to choose." He said to everyone, "Let me sort out this matter, and I will give you another answer."

After speaking, he hurried back again.

Gu Xi sighed: "Brother Xu really cared about my brother, and originally wanted to keep him for dinner..."

"I'll eat, I'll eat!" The fox immediately raised his hand, and the place where he stood was wet under his feet.

"Didn't you have an umbrella, why did you get so wet?"

"I'm not in a hurry to come back and report," the fox said with a playful smile, "I turned into my original form and ran back, hurry up!"

"I'll get you a towel to wipe it off."

"It's okay, I can't wipe it off anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"He turned into his original form and got his fur wet," Mu Linyuan said, "you have to wipe all the fox fur dry."

Gu Xi said: "Then transform into the original form, I'll find a hair dryer."

The fox was shy once in a while, and turned into a little red and khaki fox with a "boom", small and wet, like a water mouse.Because the fox fur was all stuck to his body, the shape of the entire ribs was clearly visible, they were skinny, not much bigger than a rabbit.

Gu Xi was filled with sympathy, and just about to wipe him off, Mu Linyuan took the towel and hair dryer from his hand.

"Let me do it..." Gu Xi said.

"Yes, yes, Gu Xi is a good person, I want Gu Xi to blow me hair!"

Mu Linyuan was unmoved: "You are also a big guy, don't be ashamed, let me do it."

Gu Xi blinked, why does this sentence sound weird?

Different from the warmth here, on the other side, when Xu Xunliang rushed back to his shop, he was also covered in rain.However, he didn't care at all at the moment.After rubbing it carelessly, he couldn't help but began to think about what Gu Xi told him today.

After graduating, he came back and opened a restaurant by himself, and the business gradually got on track.

Suddenly one day, Gu Zheng told himself that he would also come back to Town C.

"You are a talented student, why don't you stay in a big city, but go to this small place to nest like me?"

Gu Zheng's voice sounded as gentle as his people: "I can't live in a big city, and a small place is better than a small place."

"How nice and chic the big city is," Xu Xunliang paused, and asked, "Is it because something is not going well at work, or is it emotional?"

Gu Zheng didn't speak.

Xu Xunliang didn't pursue the question any further, and changed the topic: "There's nothing good about a small place, it's hard to do business, and there's no place to eat and play, and it's even hard to find a partner."

"Then have you found it?"

"Isn't it okay, do you really want to come back and suffer like me?"

"Ah."

"Alright, we both have a caretaker."

Xu Xunliang poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it down.Gu Zheng would rather hide and bear it by himself, so why didn't he tell himself?
