alternate performance

A large bunch of hydrangea was planted in the back garden, white, purple and blue clustered together, because of the natural light, it looked more vigorous than the glass greenhouse.

Xu Chenhe unconsciously slowed down in front of that field of flowers, wanting to reach out to touch it, but because he was just a guest.

Wei Fangling saw through his thoughts, and squatted down with her shawl folded: "Do you also like hydrangea?"

Awakened by the word "also", in order to avoid people misunderstanding that he hypocritically portrayed the shadow of Jiang Hua on himself, Xu Chenhe was about to deny it, but Wei Fangling said again: "I like it too, when Ah Ran's father chased me Loved to send me hydrangeas when I was young."

Unexpectedly, it was this reason, Xu Chenhe breathed a sigh of relief: "The hydrangea is crowded, it looks very lively."

"I just want it to be colorful and cute." Wei Fangling tilted her head and smiled at him, "Which color do you like?"

The white hydrangea is the closest to him, Xu Chenhe couldn't help but touch the petals with his fingertips: "I like the white one the most, but they are so beautiful that they compete for beauty, I can't be partial to any one."

"Yes, each has its own advantages. If you have to choose one, you must give up your liking for other colors." Wei Fangling straightened up and blocked her forehead. Ready to cook."

There is more than one servant in the Gu family's kitchen department, bakers, pastry chefs, cooks, and Aunt Kang is in charge of cooking.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Chenhe could smell the aroma of the dishes. A slightly fat maid went back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room, and the table was covered with a dazzling variety of dishes.

No one was seated at the dining table, and Gu Congran, who was standing at the porch waiting anxiously, saw someone coming in, and first set up a newly unpacked checked cotton mop in front of Xu Chenhe: "We've been chatting for so long, I thought you were wandering somewhere?" .”

Wei Fangling pretended to be jealous: "You should take out the shoes for me too."

Gu Congran never loses Wei Fangling's face, and while taking out her shoes, he said, "You should let my dad come out to greet you, because you hide in the back room every day and don't see any distinguished guests."

"Hey, don't—" Xu Chenhe was about to dissuade Gu Congran, and a person walked out of the hall slowly: "Who said I don't welcome guests?"

Wei Fangling calmed down the nervousness just after strolling in the garden, and the man with tough facial features and unsmiling mouth provoked him, Xu Chenhe took a step forward restrainedly: "Hello, uncle, I am Xu Chenhe."

Gu Shenli's face can intimidate people, but he is never ashamed of his name when he talks: "Welcome, don't treat yourself as an outsider."

Only Gu Cunkai, who had been warned by Gu Congran, snorted coldly in disdain, and rolled his eyes on purpose when he saw Xu Chenhe sitting opposite him before dinner.

Xu Chenhe is used to watching words and expressions, and he doesn't criticize, and smiles gently at the other party: "Your brother mentioned you to me several times, and I heard that you have good grades."

"Don't flatter your mother, he will never boast if he can hurt me, can I still not understand?" Gu Cunkai turned his face away, and felt artificial when he saw Xu Chenhe's appearance.

Gu Congran couldn't bear it anymore and slammed his fist down on the table. It's fine to talk about it normally, but today he brought it to the table to make a mockery. Who would be ashamed?Before getting angry, Xu Chenhe wrapped his fist and dragged it under the table, and said softly: "Don't get angry."

Wei Fangling was also angry, she pinched Gu Cunkai's arm hard, and said sharply: "Gu Cunkai, apologize!"

"I won't do it!" Gu Cunkai hugged his arm in pain, "Dad, help me judge!"

"You don't understand, I won't help." Gu Shenli didn't even look at his younger son, and raised his hand, "Let's serve dinner."

When Xu Chenhe was at a loss as to what to do, Gu Cunkai on the opposite side suddenly put down his chopsticks: "Why are you all facing an outsider? Brother Jiang Hua is so innocent and pitiful! If he dies, he will be taken over by others. Brother, you are really sorry for Jiang Hua Brother?" He pushed the bowl away, "Don't eat, I'm bored."

He stepped on the stairs and ran upstairs, every sound seemed to hit Xu Chenhe's heart.Gu Congran didn't feel well either, so he picked up a chopstick dish for Xu Chenhe and said, "Leave him alone."

Everyone had their own thoughts on the meal, and at the end of the meal, Xu Shenhe wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Gu Shenli summoned him to the side hall: "Xiaohe, come and have a cup of tea with me."

The floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened, and the side hall was well lit in the afternoon, and the shade from the trees outside the window made the four walls of the room stained with greenery.

The floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened, and the side hall was well lit in the afternoon, and the shade from the trees outside the window made the four walls of the room stained with greenery.Light green tea leaves swirl and fall in the clear tea, and the fragrance of tea fills the whole space.

"I apologize to you on behalf of Cunkai. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and he has no way to speak." Gu Shenli held the cup in both hands and raised it towards Xu Chenhe.

"It's okay," Xu Chenhe quickly pressed Gu Shenli's hand, "It's understandable, but it's also hard for me to trust someone I met for the first time."

"Both of my sons are not reassuring," Gu Shenli said, "Ah Ran may be irritable sometimes, so don't spoil him, just scold him when you need to."

There was a hint of helplessness in Gu Shenli's tone, Xu Chenhe couldn't help laughing when he thought of what Gu Congran complained about his father before he came here: "Uncle, you are very talkative."

"What? Someone said I'm not good at talking?" Gu Shenli asked.

Xu Chenhe didn't expose Gu Congran, but said: "People's first impressions of people always have actual deviations. I saw your face when I entered the door just now, and I thought you were a harsh and arrogant person. I was self-righteous."

From the first sight of meeting to the present, Gu Shenli finally smiled in front of Xu Chenhe, very lightly, but sincerely: "My wife is right, she said that Ah Ran is very accurate in seeing people, and she is not afraid to confess to you , inviting you here this time is to confirm her guess, she should not be disappointed."

Given the high expectations, Xu Chenhe's heart sank. He squeezed the cup and said a half-truthful sentence: "Thank you and auntie for your trust. I... will cherish the relationship with Gu Congran."

I found Gu Congran in the kitchen, who was instructing the pastry chef to make some kind of cake.Turning around and seeing Xu Chenhe by the door, he dropped the unpacked butter and walked over: "Did you finish chatting with my dad? Did you say something harsh to you?"

Dodging Gu Congran's hand that was about to put his shoulder, Xu Chenhe backed up and said, "You are in your early thirties, and you can't be so naive when thinking about things. It's not that I have a grudge against my uncle, why did he let me go?" Ruthless words?"

"Come on, Teacher Xu is educating people again." Seeing that Xu Chenhe was about to hit the dining table behind him, Gu Congran quickly reached out and grabbed his waist, "I told you not to look at the road, is it my turn to educate you now?"

With his back on the edge of the dining table, Gu Congran's hand has not yet loosened, but there is a tendency to hug him tighter and tighter.This is still in Gu's house, and there will be servants walking around at any time. Xu Chenhe was so frightened that Liu Ye's eyes almost turned into apricot eyes. What?"

"Cake," Gu Congran emphasized, "birthday cake."

"Oh." Xu Chenhe said.

"Don't play dumb," Gu Congran set the locker against the wall, "Whose birthday is today, don't you remember?"

"Happy birthday." Xu Chenhe didn't raise his eyebrows.

"That's it?" Gu Congran didn't give up, "At least you showed something..."

"I'll buy you a men's bracelet later, the kind with engraved characters inside. If you trap me with an anklet, I'll tie you up with a bracelet." Xu Chenhe made a circle with his hands, "It can't be too tight or too tight. Loose, tighten the flesh, and loosen it will become an armband.”

Mentioning the anklets, Gu Congran felt guilty, and he didn't pursue the birthday present anymore, so he pulled Xu Chenhe's arm to change the subject: "I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

"Wait," Xu Chenhe pulled back his arm, "Has your brother not eaten yet?"

"Don't worry about him," Gu Congran just went up to repair the troublesome man, and he is still angry at the moment, "He has a lot of snacks in the bedroom, he won't starve to death."

"Snacks are no match for serious cooked food," Xu Chenhe returned to the kitchen, "I'll cook him egg noodles."

Gu Congran followed in: "Are you a weirdo? He said that and you cooked noodles for him. Why didn't you cook longevity noodles for me when I was born today?"

The kitchen is big enough, and the pastry chef and Xu Chenhe have nothing to do with each other. Xu Chenhe found a piece of bread and an egg: "Didn't you eat three bowls of rice, can you still eat another bowl of noodles?"

"I can eat what you cook for me." Gu Congran took out a can of luncheon meat, "Put two slices of this, he likes it."

"Hard mouth and soft heart." Xu Chenhe glanced at him.

He picked up the oil pan and cracked the eggs, and the strong smell of eggs spread in the kitchen. Gu Congran was so envious: "If Gu Cunkai doesn't eat it, I'll make this side."

When the eggs were cooked, Xu Chenhe added water and put them into the noodles, and patted Gu Congran's hugging hands away: "Do you think I'm cooking noodles for him, I'm looking for a chance to chat with him."

"If you settle accounts with him, just kick the door in, don't be shy."

"I'm a civilized person, and I can't learn that kind of violence."

The steaming egg noodle soup was freshly out of the pot, and before serving it upstairs, Xu Chenhe asked worriedly: "Will your brother just overturn the bowl for me?"

Gu Congran pushed him up: "He doesn't have the guts yet, so he just pretends to be brave."

Gu Cunkai's room is on the second floor, facing the entertainment room of the Gu family upstairs.Gu Congran sent Xu Chenhe to the door of the bedroom, pointed to the upstairs and said, "I'll go talk to my parents, and call me down after you finish talking with Gu Cunkai."

Holding a bowl of smoked noodles and sticking there alone, Xu Chenhe began to feel a little timid towards boys who were six years younger.He pretended to be calm in front of Gu Congran, raised his chin at Gu Congran, and agreed, "Okay, you can go up."

The door behind him was suddenly opened, and Gu Cunkai stood behind him and said coldly: "My brother Qingqing and I even ran outside my room, you are very picky."

Xu Chenhe turned around, and Gu Cunkai looked at the bowl in the other's hand with a delicious face in astonishment: "Why, you still want to poison me?"

Listening to his tone of voice, he was sullen like his brother, Xu Chenhe didn't worry anymore, and unceremoniously pushed Gu Cunkai away and walked into the back room.

The things on the desk are in a mess, the computer screen stays on the online game page, and there are piles of opened puffed snacks around.

Xu Chenhe held the bowl with one hand, freed the other hand to push away the snacks, and put the big bowl on the table.

"Hey, are you going to turn your back on the customer?" Gu Cunkai yelled from behind.

After removing the clothes from the stool at the end of the bed and sitting down, Xu Chenhe smiled: "Brother, do you still know that I am a guest?"
