"Gu Xia, you should also be here to say goodbye to Grandma Qin, right? Stop nagging here, it's almost over over there, hurry up!"
At the critical moment, Jiang Xiaoping had to rely on her own mother. Jiang Xiaoping saved Jiang He from fire and water with just two words.
"Oh, I'll go over first, see you later!"
Jiang Xiaoping waved goodbye generously, while Jiang He nodded casually, just like the kowtowing bug.
As she listened to Gu Xia running away, she patted her chest with lingering fear, but when she looked up, she saw Gu Xia turning back and waving to her.
The sun happened to pass through the dense and dense sycamore leaves above the head, and the mottled light and shadow fell on Gu Xia's body like pieces of gold foil. Jiang He felt in a daze that he was in some youth idol drama.
As for the sadness and anger that were still filling my heart just now, they had long since been squeezed out by the sudden throbbing.
It wasn't until Gu Xia was completely out of sight that Jiang He finally looked away, but when he turned his head, he met her mother's playful gaze.
"'Everyone has a love for beauty.' I can't help but look at it twice, right?" Jiang He immediately performed a live performance of "There is no 300 taels of silver here."
"Oh." Jiang Xiaoping blew a smoke ring into the sky with an innocent face, saying "silence is better than sound at this time".
"I'm so sorry, Xiaoxia. He'er was temporarily busy and went out again, making your trip in vain."
Liang Xiujing began to apologize as soon as she saw Gu Xia. She felt that she was really bad at being an "insider" and she was unworthy of the expectations of an "idol".
"What's the point? I just thought I was here to see you! Did you watch my rerun two days ago?" Of course Gu Xia felt uncomfortable, but she still had a smile on her face.
"I must have watched it. I also asked my old sisters to watch it together to support you."
Liang Xiujing was immediately diverted by Gu Xia, and the two chatted animatedly. When it was time for dinner, Gu Xia turned her grief and anger into appetite and cooked half a pot of stewed vegetables in one go. The food tastes so delicious!”
Gu Xia didn't leave in a hurry after eating, and chatted with Liang Xiujing until almost 10 o'clock. The old lady started to yawn, and then she got up and left.
However, Gu Xia did not go home. Instead, he rode his skateboard and waited at the gate of the community for more than an hour.
He waited until after 11 o'clock and still didn't see Jiang He's shadow.
Gu Xiate wanted to send another message to Jiang He to ask, but he knew very well in his heart that he was not qualified to interfere with others. He was depressed when his phone suddenly rang. He happened to be doing tip flips, and he almost fell headfirst. Planted on the ground.
He staggered several steps before he managed to stand still. He quickly took out his cell phone, but it was Li Mingchu who was looking for him.
Gu Xia turned on the phone with a frown, and Li Mingchu's angry voice began to torment him like a curse.
"The factory called me and said you want to adjust the design of the sofa again? What's wrong with that sofa? You've been changing it over and over again, and you've made seventeen or eight versions. If you don't finalize it, you'll definitely miss the press conference!"
"I urge you, I urge you all the time! What's there to urge? If the draft can be finalized, will I be undecided?"
Gu Xia yelled at the phone, focusing on "incompetent rage".
But after yelling, his anger subsided, and the message he sent back to Li Mingchu became normal.
"Senior brother, please give me some more time. I want to do better... Time will always be squeezed. I believe you, senior brother. It will be fine. Please leave it to the factory."
As expected, Li Mingchu responded with a wildly cursing expression. Gu Xia raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then opened Jiang He's dialog box.
During dinner at 6:[-], he sent Jiang He a group photo of the food. He selected the angle, added filters, and adjusted the parameters for a long time to make the pot of stewed vegetables look extremely tempting.
Ten minutes later, Jiang He replied with a text message.
"Save some braised vegetables for me, especially braised lotus roots and dried seeds." followed by five exclamation points.
Gu Xia naturally responded instantly.
"No problem. I'm here to give you the warehouse lease contract. You need to sign this quickly. The fire department is anxious to get it. When will you be back?"
This contract for fire protection is indeed "urgent", but it is not that "urgent".
"I'm not sure, I'm still in a meeting. Otherwise, just leave it there. I'll sign it and I'll take the time to send it to you tomorrow, okay?"
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Gu Xia stared at the sentence she sent to Jiang He two hours ago. The words were followed by a starry-eyed expression.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the expression seemed too flattering, and he couldn't help but think of the words Li Mingchu taught him some time ago.
"Gu Xia, I've been thinking about it recently and I feel that the tone of your pursuit of Jiang He is fundamentally wrong. Do you know what's wrong with you? It's because you're too licking!" Li Mingchu put his hands in his pockets and talked eloquently. His expression and stance made him look like a love mentor who had "read everything", completely ignoring the fact that he didn't even have a serious girlfriend.
"You can't rush into a business, let alone chasing someone. Only if you stay away from each other and play hard to get can the other party come... No, you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing? Are you Gu Xia? What about those skills you had when you were in school? ? Why can't you use a single move in front of Jiang He? Are you afraid that someone will take your body away from you?"
"I do, it's glorious to lick me!" Gu Xia suddenly muttered to himself loudly, which frightened a Samoyed puppy that happened to pass by him and barked several times.
Just as he was about to apologize, the owner, who was wearing pajamas, picked up the Samoyed and ran away, looking back as he ran, lest he catch up and think he was a mentally disturbed guy.
Gu Xia sighed angrily. He stepped on the skateboard, held it in his hand, sat down on the curb, stretched out his two long legs in front of him, and decided to wait until the end.
He didn't wait for a while before he noticed that the branches of the shrubs not far away were shaking unnaturally.
Gu Xia immediately took out a cat strip from his bulging side pocket, tore it open and squeezed a little bit onto the paper that had been prepared, and then carefully placed the paper two meters away from him.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard a rustling noise, followed closely by the familiar cat's meow.
Before Gu Xia could identify the specific direction of the cat's meow, the ginger kitten had already emerged from the bushes with extraordinary dexterity.
It didn't eat the cat strips right away. Instead, it looked at Gu Xia with a wary expression, as if it was considering whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"Ginger Kitty, you don't recognize me again?"
Gu Xia smiled helplessly at Jiang He's "wild girl" with a poor memory. He pointed at the small piece of paper with the finger holding the cat strip, "Come and try it, this is an imported product that your uncle bought for you at a big price." Cat strips smell so good!"
In order to build a good relationship with the ginger kitten, every time he came back here, he would bring canned cats or cat strips and feed the ginger kitten like crazy regardless of the cost.
It's a pity that Jiang Mao Mao is very principled and determined to "eat people without being soft-spoken".
As soon as it heard Gu Xia speak, it breathed at him fiercely.
Gu Xia quickly raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and followed Jiang He's previous reminder, trying to keep her voice down, "Why are you so fierce? I'm just treating you to cat strips."
As expected, Jiang Mao Mao loved the "clip sound" the most, and he obviously relaxed a lot. Gu Xia immediately sat up straight and stopped looking at it, but the cat strip in his hand deliberately stretched out in the direction of Jiang Mao Mao.
In the end, Jiang Xiaomao couldn't resist the extreme temptation of the cat strip. He quickly licked the spot on the paper clean, and then slowly moved closer to the one Gu Xia held in his hand.
Gu Xia's main strategy was to "lure the enemy deeper". He took back the hand holding the cat strip little by little, and the greedy ginger kitten also caught up little by little.
After half of the cat strip was eaten, the whole ginger cat was already lying on Gu Xia's lap.
Gu Xia tentatively touched Jiang Mao Mao's head with his index finger. Jiang Mao Mao did not catch or hide this time, but rested comfortably on his lap, purring like a small tractor. The sound of purring is obviously delicious.
It was the first time that Gu Xia was so close to Jiang Mao Mao, and he was completely flattered. His body was stiff, but his heart was soft, and the corners of his mouth were rising higher and higher.
Suddenly a very bright high-beam light came over, and Gu Xia quickly helped Jiang Xiaomao block the light.
But the next second, the high beam lights were turned off. When Gu Xia saw clearly that the oncoming car was a white Bentley Continental, the corners of her mouth immediately dropped.
Between the electric light and grabbed the skateboard, picked up the little ginger cat, and hid behind the green belt beside him. He somehow didn't want Yu Hao, who was sending Jiang He back, to see him waiting here.
"Mr. Yu, thank you for sending me back. Bye."
Jiang He bowed and waved goodbye to Yu Hao in the cab, but as soon as she closed the car door, Yu Hao also got out of the car.
When Gu Xia saw this, he immediately lowered his body lower. Jiang Mao was squeezed by him and whimpered softly. Gu Xia immediately scratched Jiang Mao's chin to comfort him, "Shh, kitten, please keep your voice down." , there are bad people.”
"Jiang He, do you really not want to consider my proposal?"
Yu Hao stood in front of Jiang He, and even Gu Xia could hear the anxiety in his tone.
"Jieping Yuyu does have certain development prospects, I admit this. But for you, this is not a platform enough to display your abilities and talents. Machix is really short of people now. Are you sure you don't want to come and help me? Really? I can give you the title of 'partner'."
"...Only a ghost can believe you!" Gu Xia couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Your credit with Jiang He has been ruined for a long time, don't you know something about it?"
Yu Huan's next words proved that he still had some points.
"I know that my promise may not have much credibility with you anymore. All the conditions can be written into the contract. You can rest assured."
