My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After the impulse, the clothes were scattered on the bed and the floor. Gu Li leaned on Chang An's chest, breathing slightly, while Chang An stroked her back to help her breathe.

After taking a short rest, Gu Li suddenly felt discomfort in his throat again. He quickly pulled up the quilt, sat up, turned his head to the side, and started coughing.

Chang An also sat up after seeing this, and while continuing to help her breathe, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Gu Li coughed and shook her head. After coughing a few times, she finally stopped coughing, and Chang An helped her lie back on the bed to rest for a while.

"Mother Gu, please take a rest for a while and relax." Chang An said gently, and kissed Gu Li on the lips again.

But at this moment, Gu Li put his arms around Chang An's neck, blushed, and asked in a low voice:

"Chang Lang...do I look good today..."

"Mother Gu...she's the most beautiful..." Chang An was trapped by Gu Li and was a little dazed.

"Then Chang Lang..."

Gu Li leaned close to Chang An's ear and whispered something. Chang An raised his eyebrows, suddenly broke free from her arms, and got into the quilt again...

……

Gu Li snuggled in Chang An's arms and sobbed, with two shallow tear marks on her face. Chang An held her with one hand, and gently comforted her with the other hand, wiping away the small tears on her face.

When Gu Li's breathing became somewhat stable, Chang An helped her sit up from the bed, and he also got out of bed to put on his clothes. When he was dressed, he looked towards the bed again:

Gu Li had just put on her inner shirt and slowly moved to the bedside. When she put on her shoes, she felt the familiar sensation on her feet again. She immediately knew what was going on, so she raised her head and looked at Chang An for help.

Chang An received Gu Li's gaze and immediately understood what she meant, so he came to the bedside. He first picked up the shirt and back that she had placed aside and helped her put them on. Then he helped her stand up and tied her skirt.

After dressing Gu Li, Chang An held her in his arms and sat her down at the low table. He then took the kettle and poured some warm water into the cup for her. He then raised his sleeves and wiped the tears off her face.

After taking a sip of water, Gu Li sniffed his slightly red nose and asked, "Chang Lang, are you going to my sister's place tonight?"

"Didn't Mother Gu say that she didn't want me to go?" Chang An poured a little more water into the cup, then used his fingertips to smear a little on the tear marks on Gu Li's face, and wiped it again with his sleeve.

"I... I just wanted to give Chang Lang a little surprise." Gu Li sniffed his nose again, "Chang Lang likes drinking, so I secretly asked Zhen Er to book a table."

"Then I wanted to dress up nicely so as not to embarrass Chang Lang."

"But when we go to Xinluan Restaurant, we can only eat simple dishes." Chang An checked Gu Li's face one last time, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no traces of tears.

"It's okay, I'm not picky about food." Gu Li finished the water in the cup and added, "Today is Chang Lang's birthday, so I have to treat you this time!"

"Okay, I'll listen to what Madam Gu says." Chang An said with a smile, "Are we just the two of us going?"

"And Du Langjun and the others." Gu Li replied.

"Did Gu Niang go to inform them?" Chang An raised his eyebrows, thinking of Zhen'er's abnormal reaction just now, and he understood a little. It must be said that Gu Li's acting skills are getting better and better, and even he can't see it.

"Just now when Zhen'er and Huaiqin went out," Gu Li nodded, "Will Chang Lang think I'm acting on my own?"

Chang An kissed Gu Li on the cheek and said lovingly, "Of course not... Why is Gu Niang's face so salty? It's not sweet anymore."

Upon hearing this, Gu Li's face immediately turned red again, and he said in a mosquito-like voice: "It's all because of Chang Lang..."

"I heard it!" Chang An had excellent hearing, so of course he heard Gu Li's mosquito humming.

"what!"

Seeing that Chang An had heard his mumbling, Gu Li felt a little embarrassed and screamed. Then he broke free from Chang An's arms, sat next to him, and turned away from Chang An.

Chang An smiled, then playfully moved behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, startling her so much that she quickly raised her sleeves to cover her face...

When the time came, Gu Li had already dressed up according to the morning standard, and then took out some silver ingots from his money box and put them in his small purse. Then he patted his purse with satisfaction and said to Chang An in a flattering way:

"Look, Chang Lang! I've brought enough silver!"

Chang An smiled and patted her head. At this time, Huaiqin and Zhen'er also knocked on the door. Chang An replied, "Come in."

Huaiqin and Zhener came in and said:

"Master, Sanniang, the gentlemen have all been notified, so we can set off now."

"it is good."

Gu Li nodded, looked at himself in the bronze mirror one last time, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he took Chang An's hand and walked outside.

Around the hour of You, not only did Gu Li bring Chang An to the Xinluan Restaurant, but even Su Meng, who usually arrived the latest, was standing at the door waiting with a pipa in her arms.

"Sister!" Gu Li saw Su Meng and stretched out his hand to greet her.

"Li'er." Su Meng's eyebrows curved immediately when she saw Gu Li, "You said you would bring Chang'an here today. As soon as I received the news from your maid, I started to dress up."

"Thank you for giving me this honor, sister. Are all the other gentlemen here?"

"Of course, I guess he came here as soon as he heard that Chang An had a birthday party today." Su Meng said with a smile, "Let's not stand here and talk. The protagonist today is Chang An. Let's take him in first."

"it is good."

Su Meng turned around and led the two into the restaurant. At this time, the restaurant was full of guests as usual, and there was already a Hu Ji dancing on the stage in the center.

After skipping the guests who greeted them along the way, the three of them went straight to their old seats on the second floor and took their seats one after another. At this time, Chang An saw the people present. In addition to the four old-timers Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao, even Gao Shi and Wang Wei had come.

After seeing Gu Li, Du, Cui, Zhang and Zhao were all stunned for a moment - it's not that they haven't seen Gu Li's beauty before, but when they saw her again today, they didn't know whether it was because of her careful dressing, but now Gu Li had a different temperament.

"Brother Yonghe, Madam Gu."

All six of them greeted Chang An, and Chang An and Gu Li responded one by one.

"Today at the Imperial College, we were a little disappointed when we heard that Brother Yonghe was not planning to hold a banquet. However, we never expected that it was Madam Gu who was planning to hold it." Du Chengming spoke first.

"What do you know? This is called an unexpected gift!" Cui Hujin said with a smile.

"Of course, look at Brother Yonghe, he is so happy, he must be very happy."

"I think..."

"Brother Chang, happy birthday." Compared to the joking comments of Du, Cui, Zhang and Zhao, Gao Shi was the first to congratulate him seriously.

"Brother Yonghe, may you have this day every year." Wang Wei also smiled and bowed to congratulate Chang'an.

"Thank you, Brother Gao and Brother Mojie." Chang An returned the greeting.

At this time, as before, several maids came up with wine pots and tea and placed them in front of everyone. Zhao Guanzhong also said at this time: "Brother Yonghe, today is your birthday, you must drink more!"

"Whether you can drink too much or not, I have to listen to my wife." Chang An smiled and pointed at Gu Li and said.

At this time, Du Chengming also asked Gu Li: "Madam Gu, today is Brother Yonghe's birthday, it should be okay for him to drink more, right?"

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm afraid this won't work," Gu Li shook his head resolutely and said, "Chang Lang has a bad habit of going to high places after getting drunk. I'm afraid something might happen to him."

Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao looked at each other and gave up. Du Chengming said, "In that case, we can't let Brother Yonghe drink too much, but we still have to follow the basic process."

"Of course." Gu Li nodded.

Then, Su Meng picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for everyone present, and also poured some tea into the cups of Gu Li and Wang Wei.

After pouring the wine, Wang Wei, who was closest to him, raised his teacup and said to Chang An:

"Brother Yonghe, you have been so kind to me, so I dare to toast you with this first cup."

Chang An also raised his glass, and they both drank it. Then Du Chengming raised his glass and said to Chang An:

"You and I have known each other the longest. We are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. I'll drink this cup!"

After the round, each gentleman toasted Chang An with a glass of wine. Then it was Su Meng's turn. Su Meng raised her glass, smiled faintly, and said, "There's no need to say anything more between us. You said everything you needed to say that night."

"We are both wanderers in this world, let's drink." Chang An naturally knew what she meant, and they raised their glasses and drank together.

After Su Meng, it was Gu Li's turn. The two simply looked at each other, then smiled at each other and raised their glasses to drink together.

At this time, Su Meng said: "I have learned a new piece of music recently. Today, on Chang An's birthday, I will play it for you."

"Okay! Madam Su Meng, please!"

Su Meng nodded slightly, nodded to everyone, then sat down in front of the window and began to play. In this melodious tune, there is a lingering emotion, like a calm lake being blown by the breeze, rippling layers of water.

Every note is filled with endless tenderness, like the flickering light on a filament, faint but warm.

Not only Chang An and others were immersed in it, but even the guests sitting at several tables nearby shifted their gazes and attention to Su Meng.

When the song ended, the entire Xinluan Restaurant burst into applause.

"This piece of music is really wonderful, with a lingering and tender feeling. I just don't know the name of this pipa piece." said Wang Wei, who was the most proficient in music theory among the few people.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wang. The name of this song is "Xunyang Night Moon"."
