The love is so deep that Mr. Gu is crazy

Shen Li’s small shop is located on the corner of the street, next door to Xiaojing Flower Shop.

As usual, she went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers. When she brought the flowers to the store, Wushuang and other employees had already started working early.

"Good morning, sister. I bought yellow roses today. They are so beautiful."

"Morning."

Shen Li walked skillfully to the table in the corner, replaced the flowers in the vase, and trimmed the yellow roses one by one and put them in the vase.

It seemed like she repeated this action every day.

The early morning sun shone down right on her body, making her look indescribably peaceful and gentle, as if everything was going well.

Today is the weekend, it's still early at this time, and there are not many people in the store.

After changing the flowers, Shen Li lowered her head and began to fiddle with the chessboard in front of her. Wushuang happened to be holding the newly made dessert and excitedly placed it on the table in front of her.

"Sister, come and try the peach cheese that I just invented."

"Peach cheese?"

Under the eager gaze of the little girl, Shen Li put down the chess piece in his hand, took a bite, and frowned.

"What? It doesn't taste good?"

Shen Li pursed his lips, poured a glass of water and drank a few sips, with no intention of taking a second sip.

"It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's just that it's really choking!"

Wushuang took a bite in confusion, "Chuu? Just right, the inspiration for this dessert comes from first love, don't you think it fits? Isn't first love always super sweet?"

Seeing her serious look, Shen Li was confused and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up the chess piece again while talking to her.

"Whose first love is so choking? You must have put a lethal amount of sugar in it."

Wait, first love?

Shen Li's eyes lit up.

"Are you in love?"

Wu Shuang looked up at Shen Li and picked up the cake to continue studying it. He acted very calmly and said, "No, it was just a sudden thought. I'm busy making money, so I don't have time to fall in love."

Her earnest tone did not sound like she was lying, and she continued, "Brother Xiaoyu said that if this is the theme, we should not use peaches, but green plums."

"Green plum?"

Wushuang nodded, "Yes, and they specifically emphasized that it was not ripe. I went to Aunt Chungui's orchard to pick some to try. It was sour and astringent, and it was inedible. Who would buy it if it was made like this?"

"Hey sister, does Brother Xiaoyu have any special story? Tell me, he refused to tell me when I asked him."

Wushuang was very gossipy and looked at Shen Li with anticipation.

Shen Li thought carefully, "I haven't heard him mention it."

She chuckled as she thought about it. This boy was actually hiding something from her. Could he be the college classmate she had met once before?

The little girl had already put down the plate in her hand and held her chin with both hands, "So, sister, where is your first love?"

Shen Li paused and lowered his eyes, as if lost in memories. The chess piece in his hand fell onto the board with a "click", disrupting the original layout.

Wushuang saw her in a daze, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Sister?"

Shen Li came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, picked up Yunzi again and put it back to its original place.

"Or, you can try strawberry, but don't put so much sugar in it, it's so choking."

After placing the last piece, Shen Li looked at the time and stood up, "I'm leaving first, you can study it slowly."

"Strawberry?" Wushuang repeated, waving goodbye to her.

-

There is a park about ten minutes across the street.

A group of old men and women are doing morning exercises.

Among a group of old men and women, a thin figure stood out.

"It's Xiao Shen. I haven't seen you in a few days. Where have you been?"

Shen Li responded enthusiastically, "Good morning, Uncle Wang. I was out for a few days and just came back yesterday. Are you going to practice sword today?"

Uncle Wang fiddled with the sword in his hand. "It's boring to practice Tai Chi all the time. Change it up once in a while. But you, I've never seen a girl who insists on practicing Tai Chi with a bunch of old men and women like you every day."

"It's good to exercise more."

After a few greetings, the old men and women who were practicing Tai Chi had already started.

Shen Li followed behind the team, his movements were standard and he fought in good shape.

By the time she finished two rounds, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her forehead and her body was getting hot.

It was at this time that Huo Mingyu came over on a pink electric scooter, biting a bun in his mouth, speaking incoherently, and waving at her from afar.

"Shen Li, hurry up and leave. If you go too late, you won't be able to pick good ones."

"I'm here." Shen Li greeted the old men and women with a smile and waved goodbye, then trotted over and got on the electric scooter.

Under a big tree on the side of the park road, there was an ordinary black car parked.

Gu Jingcheng was silent in the back seat, his dark eyes staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Boss, are you still following?"

He looked away only after hearing the driver's question.

"No need, just book me a flight back to Kyoto."

"Good boss."

The car quickly disappeared into the street, in the opposite direction of the electric scooter.

In another car across the street, Huo Mingcheng, who was in the driver's seat, withdrew his gaze and closed the window.

He took out his cell phone, opened the dialog box of the pinned contacts on WeChat, typed a line of words, and then deleted them all.

After thinking for a long time, I finally typed [It rained in Kyoto today. Did it also rain? ] After confirming it again and again, I clicked send.

After a few minutes, I received a reply from the other party.

A photo of a peach held in the hand, taken against the blue sky.

[I bought some delicious peaches. I’m in a good mood. This one is a reward for you. Remember to check it.]

【it is good. 】

Huo Mingcheng smiled, put away his phone and drove away, rushing back to Kyoto to pick his peaches.

-

When Shen Li returned to the store with the purchased fresh fruits, there was a strawberry on the plate in front of Wushuang, and she was staring at it in a daze.

Take out the fresh peaches and put them in front of her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Wushuang's empty eyes focused on the peach in front of him.

Shen Li smiled and teased: "Try this peach, is it the taste of first love you want? I bought a lot, enough for you to study your peach first love."

"Sister, why did you all choose strawberries?"

"us?"

"Yes, a guest just came, and I asked him to try peach cheese, and I did some research on it. His answer was the same as yours, which was strawberry."

Shen Li smiled, the little girl was so innocent.

Suddenly, she saw the chessboard beside her, and the chess pieces on it had been moved.

"Did someone move the chessboard just now?"

Wushuang stretched his head to take a look, but she didn't notice.

"Oh, it should be the guest from before. He was the only one who sat in that seat before. He was the one who ordered the same strawberries as you, and he also bought a strawberry cake when he left."

Strawberry cake.

Shen Li was lost in thought, looking down at the chessboard.

The endgame above was the last game between her and Gu Zhengrong.

At that time, she was playing with black pieces and was clearly at a disadvantage. She then cheated and said that she would wait until her chess skills improved before continuing to play with him and that she would definitely beat him.

Over the past four years, her chess skills have improved a lot, but she has never won.

Now in this chess game, the black piece has the upper hand with a slight advantage.

This game is solved.
