After Gu Yuan pulled down his sleeve, Chi Yu stopped showing off and said, "The village chief made a mistake."
"Huh? Made a mistake? I doubt it." The village chief leaned over to take a look.
Tutu said beside, "Brother is the brother who ca to buy the bell, Dad you know, right?"
Tutu’s dad had already turned to sneak away, but got caught by his son’s shout.
He laughed awkwardly, pretending to take a closer look and recognize him: "Yeah, he’s the one who ca that day to buy the bell, haha, I was wondering why you look so familiar..."
Actually, as soon as Chi Yu ca in, Tutu’s dad recognized him, but he hadn’t explained the matter of selling the dog bell to Tutu yet, so he just looked at Chi Yu a few more tis and didn’t dare to ntion it.
But his son ntioned it first.
The sleeve covered the bell and the village chief did not get angry in front of so many people, only saying, "Young man, let remind you, that’s a dog bell."
Chi Yu: "I know."
Village chief: "You know and you still wear it on your wrist?"
Chi Yu: "I like it."
Gu Yuan: "..."
She pinched Chi Yu’s hand quietly, and Chi Yu looked at her: "Yuanyuan."
"Say less."
Chi Yu was very obedient: "Okay."
Sheng Yi nearby thought: Good... a loyal dog!!!
She finally understood why Yuanyuan chose this man.
Not only does he have such a face, but he’s also a loyal dog, Yuanyuan should not regret it.
Chi Yu himself had nothing much to say, the people and things here were familiar to him.
But the village chief was a chatterbox, pouring two small cups of wine to entertain Chi Yu.
Aunt Cai fried a plate of peanuts and brought a plate of dried fruits.
"We can’t skip what needs to be done, it’s your first ti here," the village chief was extrely enthusiastic, happily saying, "If you ca earlier, the wine would be on the dinner table, but now it’s okay to drink a bit to enjoy, young man do you agree? We’re both easygoing."
"The village chief is right." It wasn’t the first ti.
"Then why don’t you move, take the cup, let’s clink one, just drink a little, it’s considered the village chief’s hospitality."
"...Alright."
Chi Yu picked up the cup of wine.
It was a very small cup, just a sip was enough to finish it.
Chi Yu thought to himself, the village chief approved of him, willing to drink a small cup with him.
While the village chief passionately entertained Chi Yu with drinks, Sheng Yi pulled Gu Yuan out to whisper.
The osmanthus tree not far from the door was still lush, but the gardenia leaves outside the fence were bare, it was clearly deep into winter. Tutu played with Huang in the courtyard, the countryside atmosphere was always nice.
"Yuanyuan, tell honestly, are you and that Chi Yu for real?" Although the situation was already obvious, Sheng Yi still felt the need to ask personally to be sure.
It was just too sudden.
Gu Yuan looked at Sheng Yi, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Never, I’m just too shocked." Sheng Yi sighed, "Your speed is like taking a rocket straight to the space station, next, don’t tell you’re skipping marriage and announcing you’re pregnant, I would really be scared to death."
Gu Yuan chuckled, "If things really develop as you say..."
"Hey hey hey, no, not so fast, give so buffer ti, it’s really too fast, and you’re still so young, don’t have kids so easily." Sheng Yi was scared again.
"I’m not that reckless." Gu Yuan looked at the yellow soil outside the fence, with no crops in winter, corn would be planted in the coming year, the wild grass had turned yellow, probably only to be weeded co spring.
"It’s good that you’re not." Sheng Yi hugged Gu Yuan, leaning her head on Gu Yuan’s shoulder.
If Gu Yuan were a man, Sheng Yi at this mont would be the little wife.
Such a warm mont, Sheng Yi wanted to enjoy it, but suddenly, soone grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back, Sheng Yi yelped, and Gu Yuan reached out to steady her, seeing who was behind Sheng Yi, Gu Yuan asked, "Finished talking?"
Chi Yu: "Hmm."
Gu Yuan asked, "How much did you drink?"
Chi Yu replied, "Had two small cups."
Don’t underestimate those small cups, they held a tiny bit.
But the wine was strong.
Chi Yu had never drunk such throat-burning wine, now his stomach was on fire, he didn’t know how strong the aftereffects would be.
Gu Yuan noticed the rim of Chi Yu’s eyes had turned red, she knew the village chief wouldn’t coax him to drink too much, the intention was rely to hospitality on his first visit, so the wine must have been quite potent.
Seemingly forgotten at the back, Sheng Yi felt very aggrieved.
What to do, now that Yuanyuan has a boyfriend, she’s no longer the most favored one.
Oh, what a worry.
Today’s visit to the village chief’s ho, Gu Yuan’s purpose was to reintroduce Chi Yu to them, she did not want Chi Yu to disappear without a trace this ti, she hoped at least soone would rember him, rember he was Gu Yuan’s lover.
But she wondered if it was all in vain.
Also unsure if after Chi Yu’s disappearance, he would be erased from everyone’s mory.
Would it also include her...
By the ti it was nearly five in the afternoon, Gu Yuan and her group returned to the farmhouse.
Lu Tinglou had been pacing anxiously in the courtyard all afternoon, seeing Gu Yuan return, along with that man, and Sheng Yi too.
"You’re back." Lu Tinglou walked over.
Gu Yuan nodded: "Hmm."
"President Lu, you’re here too." Sheng Yi was a bit surprised to see Lu Tinglou as soon as she ca in. She wondered why he had co along.
"New Year’s, here for a vacation." Lu Tinglou answered absentmindedly, his gaze on Gu Yuan and Chi Yu.
When they left, the two were holding hands, a sight hard to miss.
Thankfully, they were not holding hands upon return, slightly easing Lu Tinglou’s anxiety from the afternoon.
He casually asked, "Did you pick up Sheng Yi?"
"Hmm, picked up Yiyi and went to the village chief’s ho." Gu Yuan walked inside, with Chi Yu following like her shadow. He was like a quiet little wife, saying nothing, wherever Gu Yuan went, he followed.
However, as Gu Yuan stepped inside, Lu Tinglou stopped Chi Yu, asking, "Want a smoke?"
Chi Yu: "I don’t smoke."
Actually, Lu Tinglou didn’t have any cigarettes left either, he smoked rarely with no addiction, he just asked casually, already guessing that Chi Yu didn’t smoke.
"Let’s get acquainted." Lu Tinglou extended his right hand, "I’m Lu Tinglou."
"Chi Yu," but Chi Yu did not extend his hand, "I’ve never shaken hands with anyone, don’t know which hand is appropriate, sorry."
Lu Tinglou: "..."
A tough person.
That night with the hostile eyes already showed he was not easy to deal with.
Lu Tinglou withdrew his hand, putting it into his pocket, his smile undiminished: "I’ve known Gu Yuan for over a decade since junior high we were in the sa class. Back then Gu Yuan was more reserved, liked being alone, it was who persistently stayed with her, through junior high, high school, and later becoming partners in the society."
He was showing off imnsely.
