[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

When Gu Ningyuan came out of the Gu's Building, the sky was getting dark and all the street lights had been turned on.

He shouldn't have come out so late.

After arriving at the company in the morning, Gu Ningyuan asked his assistant to speed up the itinerary. After one meeting after another, there was no rush to deal with the remaining unimportant documents. He planned to go home early to celebrate the festival with Shen.

It's just that when he was about to get off work, Zhang Jin suddenly came with a few documents, and he came to hide.The Zhang family is different from other families, his father is growing strong and has no plans to abdicate for the time being.He wanted to delegate power to let Zhang Jin do things, but he was worried about his character, so he was thrown at the grassroots level to hone his character. Those things were complicated and boring.He was not allowed to rest during the rare holidays, and Zhang Jin had to stick to his post.

Zhang Jin finally found this opportunity, hid out, and stopped by to see her friend Gu Ningyuan whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Pushing open the office door, Gu Ningyuan took off his coat, only wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and was concentrating on his work at the desk.

Zhang Jin came in slowly, sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and then said calmly, "You are really not afraid of exhaustion."

Gu Ningyuan didn't raise his head, but asked, "Where's the stuff?"

Zhang Jin picked her peachy eyes, "You are too cold! You still have to ask me!"

"Really?" Gu Ningyuan put down the document in his hand, looked at him indifferently, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Jin shrugged, a little timid, "Well, I beg you, without your special call, I would never be able to escape from the company."

When the two of them were together, they rarely talked about work unless it was an emergency.The two were chatting, and the topic turned to Shen Yue again.

Originally, Zhang Jin was complaining that her two demon kings had grown up, but they were covered with a layer of human skin on the surface, and their personalities were not at all good inside.It is said that some time ago, Zhang Jin was asked to come to the school to deal with the incident because of a fight over a little girl.Zhang Jin is a good brother. He was almost scolded by the teacher at school, but he still smiled and helped his brother to hide from his parents when he returned home.

While complaining, he was envious at the same time, "It's only now that I feel that your Shen Yue has a good relationship, not to mention other personalities, I really don't bother you."

In the past, Gu Ningyuan would have praised Shen Yue a long time ago, but today he just frowned and remained silent for a while.

Zhang Jin was careful, and tentatively asked: "Could it be that there is something I don't know about recently, that something big happened to Shen Yue in your family?"

"Let me tell you one thing, don't pass it on to others, it's about Shen Yue."

Gu Ningyuan looked up at him, his eyes were deep and dark, which inexplicably made Zhang Jin nervous, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.

"We grew up together, and you know my mouth, so you won't miss a single word."

Gu Ningyuan paused, it was rare that he was not so decisive, he hesitated for a moment, and then told Zhang Jin about this matter.

After listening to the whole thing, Zhang Jin said, "..."

"That is to say, you accidentally eavesdropped on your younger brother's corner, knowing that he has a spring heart, and he has been deeply in love at a young age. I don't know which little girl you like. A secret love story of a young boy in adolescence who can't live long, Is this worthy of your attention and seriousness?"

Gu Ningyuan frowned tightly, his voice was low, and his tone was solemn, "Shen Yue is different from those children. He likes someone and takes his feelings very seriously."

This can be seen from before rebirth, it is just such a slight kindness as a child, Shen Yue can give his life for Gu Ningyuan.So what would he give to make him say such words and precious feelings?

Every time Gu Ningyuan thinks of this, he will be very restless, and he ends the next thought almost irritably.

Zhang Jin waved his hand, but didn't care, "Let him go, no matter what, it's just their children's business. Shen Yue's character will never be deceived, why are you in a hurry?"

According to Zhang Jin's understanding of Gu Ningyuan, he originally thought that he should raise children in a free-range way. What he likes, he can win and fight for himself.But later he adopted Shen Yue, which completely overturned his imagination. In the beginning, he was just a pet, like a responsibility.Later, even as he grew older, Gu Ningyuan became more and more fond of him, even taking care of such things.

This topic is over here. Zhang Jin has never won against Gu Ningyuan since she was a child. It is rare to find an opportunity to tease him, so naturally she will not let it go.

Then I added another sentence, which was half a joke and half a joke, "If you hadn't told me in advance that what you said just now was Shen Yue, your younger brother. I thought you fell in love with someone, but I accidentally overheard Until the crush falls in love with someone else."

Of course, this sentence cannot be true.

But after Zhang Jin left, Gu Ningyuan stayed alone in the office for a long time, watching the sun fall from the sky and the clouds seemed to be on fire.

He sorted out what he had done recently, and he really paid too much attention to Shen Yue, was too anxious, and even vaguely uneasy.

This is not right.

When the clouds disappeared and it was dark, Gu Ningyuan calmed down and walked out of Gu's.

Under the street lights outside, there were figures in twos and threes, mostly in pairs, laughing and playing.Some of them are still holding lanterns in bright colors.Looking at the past, there is no similar pattern. Most of them are charged bulbs, which are very bright, and the faces of people are shining brightly against the background of the lanterns.

Suddenly, Gu Ningyuan was also dazzled.

He thought of Shen Yue again.At this time, he should still be lying at home, chatting and playing with Gu Wushuang, waiting for him to go back.

Speaking of the Lantern Festival for so many years, Shen Yue has never been given a lantern.

Gu Ningyuan got into the car and told the driver in front, "Go to the nearest commercial pedestrian street."

Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are many stalls there. Besides various snacks, the most popular ones are vendors selling lanterns.

There are many styles and materials of lanterns.But Gu Ningyuan picked and picked in front of various stalls, and finally just chose a very simple style at an old man's handmade stall. It was a paper-pasted round lantern, pure white, with no decorations on it.

In the end, Gu Ningyuan brought back two identical lanterns and a few boxes of paint from outside.

The driver was a little puzzled.

Gu Ningyuan took apart the paint, tried the colors, and finally picked out a few that he liked, and carefully applied them on the translucent white lampshade with a brush.

The paper lampshade was extremely fragile. In order to hurry, Gu Ningyuan just started a little hastily, and the tip of the pen pierced the lampshade, revealing the bamboo strips inside.

This is no longer available.

Gu Ningyuan twitched his brows, but put the discarded lantern aside, calmly picked up another lantern, and drew it more carefully.

Every time he paints a stroke of color, he thinks in his heart that this is a lantern for his younger brother.

When the painting was finally finished, Gu Ningyuan signaled the driver to come and drive home, while he opened the window and held the lantern with his hand to let the cold wind dry the paint on it.

At this time, the lights in Gu's house were turned on, and Shen Yue had already reunited for the Lantern Festival, and put it aside, just waiting for Gu Ningyuan to come back.

A beam of light flickered outside, Shen Yue sat by the window, stood up to watch the movement outside.Not long after, a figure stood under the light. The light was blurred, and he could only be vaguely seen with a slender figure and a handsome face.

Mama Liu shouted joyfully from outside, "Mr. is back!"

Shen Yue tilted her head, her gaze was reluctant to move away from Gu Ningyuan's body, until he came in from the outside, closed the door, and could no longer look at him.

Before he had time to rush over, Gu Ningyuan found him in two or three steps.

Gu Ningyuan hadn't taken off his coat yet, and his whole body was still cold, with one hand behind his back.

"One thing for you," Gu Ningyuan smiled, stretched out his hand in front of Shen Yue, and handed it to Shen Yue, "Lantern Festival lantern, do you like it?"

Shen Yue was almost stunned when he saw the lantern.

It's not because of how complex and beautiful the style of this lantern is, how bright and bright the colors are, but because of the patterns on it.

He was too familiar, a sunflower bloomed on a bright red lampshade, like the first gift he ever received from Gu Ningyuan.

that balloon.

Shen Yue's voice was full of surprises, and he couldn't wait to go up and touch her.

"Well, where did you buy this lantern?"

Lanterns are different from balloons.First of all, the price is much more expensive, and there are many more patterns that can be made, so such a simple and restored lantern is really not easy to buy.

Seeing his movement, Gu Ningyuan retracted his hand, leaving Shen Yue in vain, "I can't touch it, it shouldn't be done yet."

Shen Yue looked at Gu Ningyuan suspiciously, one hand froze in place.

He explained again, "I didn't buy this one. I just painted it on the way back. Although the wind blew all the way, I still had to be careful and didn't do it."

Gu Ningyuan has never learned how to draw, but he still drew this lantern.The main reason is that the pattern is simple, and he is cautious, so the painting is almost inseparable.

"The painting is not very good," Gu Ningyuan was strict with himself and was not satisfied, "but luckily you like it."

Shen Yue's fingers retracted all of a sudden. It was already a surprise, but now a layer of surprise was added to the surprise. It was as if someone had set off fireworks in his ears, and he couldn't see or hear other words clearly. up.

He wanted this lantern very much in his heart, but he was uneasy. When Gu Ningyuan said it, it seemed that it was an extremely fragile thing that would break even if he touched it.

Looking at his appearance, Gu Ningyuan felt a little funny, so he grabbed his wrist, passed the other hand over, and stuffed the handle into his palm.

"For you, a small gift for the Lantern Festival."

Shen Yue took the lantern into his hand, lifted it up carefully, and looked at it with great care.

Probably because of the good choice of pigments, the color on the lampshade is bright and strong, but not so heavy that the light cannot be seen through, and a small light bulb in the shape of fireworks can be seen vaguely inside.Because of this thin layer of red, the whole lamp is more hazy and moving.

Shen Yue cherished it very much, fearing that the color on the lampshade would not be dry, and he was reluctant to touch it with something to try and destroy even a little bit, so he held it in his arms and refused to let it go.

Even Liu's mother couldn't help laughing at him, "Seeing that the young master has grown up, but he is still a child, and he is reluctant to let go of something he likes."

Shen Yue also smiled, blushing, but still didn't let it go.

What others say belongs to others, the lanterns belong to oneself, and Gu Ningyuan's thoughts are also his own.

Gu Ningyuan didn't make fun of him, and when it was time to eat Yuanxiao, the two of them only filled a big bowl and fed it to Shen Yue.

In the end, Gu Ningyuan said: "Do you like it so much? Let's wait until next year. I'll learn next year and make one for you."

As for this lantern, Shen Yue put it in a separate small box, and there were other things in it, such as withered purple irises, such as shriveled red balloons.

Those are Shen Yue's treasures.
