[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

The snow had stopped for a few days, but it was still freezing outside, and it was getting colder and colder.There are slightly fragile icicles hanging from the flying eaves of the chic little stone pavilion in Gu's house, and the path in the garden is covered with ice, and I haven't had time to shovel it.Except for the dark green evergreens, everything seems to be withered and decayed.

Because it was too cold and afraid of slippery roads, Shen Yue left early for evening self-study and came back.A few lamps were lit in the yard, and the wind was blowing from a distance, and the shadows of the trees whirled under the lights, bringing a little sweet smell.

It turned out to be a wintersweet blooming quietly in the corner.

Shen Yue deviated from the original path and walked along the scent on the bluestone slab.

The flowers bloomed very well, bright in color, dense in clusters, falling heavily on the branches, swaying in the wind, and ice condensed on the flower branches.

Shen Yue liked it very much, and couldn't help but fold a small branch from nearby and put it in his palm, wanting to show Gu Ningyuan a look.

This place is very remote, several pieces of bluestone slabs were broken, and it was bumpy, when Shen Yue turned around, he accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell down.Fortunately, he was quick to support himself with his hands, but still knocked on one knee.

Compared with usual, it was still early in the morning.As soon as Shen Yue opened the door, he unexpectedly saw that Gu Ningyuan was already sitting on the sofa, with several documents on the coffee table, and he was still holding one in his hand.

Gu Ningyuan heard the movement, raised his head slightly, and waved to Shen Yue, "I came back so early today? I planned to pick you up."

Shen Yue happily ran over, sat next to Gu Ningyuan, and took off his heavy coat with some difficulty.

When the two got closer, Gu Ningyuan saw that there was a wet spot under his knees, and asked, "What's wrong? It's all wet below, is it cold?"

Shen Yue noticed it, rubbed his nose, and was a little embarrassed, "I just saw a wintersweet tree by the garden. It's very beautiful. I'll pick it off and show you." There are a few bright yellow flowers falling, "It's a bit off, I accidentally knocked it, but it didn't fall."

Gu Ningyuan frowned, and flicked Shen Yue's forehead, "It's so big, can't you walk the road? Otherwise, you can wait until tomorrow's daytime to pick it off."

Shen Yue raised her hand and put it in front of Gu Ningyuan cherishingly, "It will be boring to wait until tomorrow day. Now the flowers are covered with a thin layer of ice, which looks better than other times."

It's just that after staying in Shen Wan's palm for a long time, that layer of ice has long since melted into water, and the wet, delicate petals are crumpled into a ball.

"It's all melted." There was a hint of loss in Shen Yue's voice.He likes to look at beautiful things very much, and thinks of others, and he also wants Gu Ningyuan to see it.

Gu Ningyuan took the flower over, "It's okay, it's still very beautiful. Besides," he paused, probably to comfort Shen Yue, and then made an inappropriate metaphor in poor language, "No matter how beautiful the flower is, it's still beautiful. It's prettier than you."

Shen Yue looked at him and smiled, with a slight blush on his face, "Only girls can compare with flowers, no man uses this kind of metaphor."

"You can't say that," Gu Ningyuan hugged Shen Yue's waist sideways, put his chin on his shoulder, and gently kissed his cheek, "I think flowers are beautiful, and you are even more beautiful, why can't you compare? "

Shen Yue's heart was as sweet and soft as if wrapped in honey.He didn't care much about how he looked, but he wanted Gu Ningyuan to like him more, no matter in which aspect.

Gu Ningyuan's face was close to the outside of the sofa, and a figure covered half of the light.When he tilted his head, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Liu Ma in front of the sofa, her face was pale, her lips were trembling, as if she was about to say something.

Gu Ningyuan's gaze sank, sharp and sharp.And that was after many years, and the excessive momentum was pressed on Mama Liu.

Liu Ma had never seen him like this before, she didn't dare to speak, but her face was even whiter, and even looked somewhat transparent under the light.

Gu Ningyuan put Shen Yue back to the original place, his movements were very gentle, and he even touched his head, but his eyes did not relax at all.It took a while to relax, only to hear Mama Liu try to suppress the vibrato and say something.

"First, sir."

When Shen Yue turned her head, Mama Liu shrank and stood not far away, as if she couldn't stand.

"I just heard the young master and my husband talk about winter plums in the kitchen," Liu Ma forced a smile, "I just thought that winter plums can also be made into pastries, so I asked whether it is better to make salty or sweet ones?"

Shen Yue said he wanted sweet ones, but Gu Ningyuan said he wanted salty ones. The two argued for a while, and finally Gu Ningyuan gave up.

Sighing, "I can't hold you back. If it's sweet, let's make it sweet. I'll make it today first, and I'll make the salty one later."

Gu Ningyuan looked at the time and said to Shen Yue on the sofa, "It's still early, otherwise I'll take you out for a stroll, and we haven't gone out for a long time."

"I also ate dinner outside, and I only have some snacks when I come back in the evening."

This was said to Liu's mother.

Shen Yue was startled, glanced at Liu Ma who was frozen in place and hadn't returned to the kitchen, and responded.

Gu Ningyuan asked him to go upstairs to change into a pair of clean trousers, and then took their thick coats along the way.

Only Liu Ma and Gu Ningyuan were left downstairs.

"Sir." Liu Ma's tone was full of disbelief, her shadow stood upside down on the sofa, alone, "You and the young master...can't be like this..."

"I just hope that both sir and master can..."

It's even all begging.

Gu Ningyuan is indifferent, he has always been very indifferent, he just never treats these people in his family.

"Needless to say," Gu Ningyuan looked at Shen Yue holding two coats and had already reached the turning of the stairs, his tone softened, "Think about it first."

Gu Ningyuan took the clothes and carefully put them on for Shen Yue, including the scarf and hat.

Liu Ma turned her back and said in a low voice: "Sir and young master, pay attention to safety and come back early."

The two went out, and before Shen Yue left, she glanced at the back, and Liu Ma was picking wintersweet flowers with a basket, her back bent.A young man followed behind, for fear that Mama Liu would fall down.

Gu Ningyuan grabbed Shen Yue tightly and pushed him into the car.

Because I came out with the idea of ​​a date, and didn't ask the driver to take it off, Gu Ningyuan drove the car by himself.

Shen Yue sat in the co-pilot's seat, he propped his chin, very casually, "Mother Liu, do you know?" Although it was a questioning sentence, it actually sounded like a statement.

Gu Ningyuan let out a "huh".Shen Yue couldn't hide the scene just now, but he didn't want Liu's mother to get angry on the spot and make Shen Yue unhappy.

It wasn't a surprise that Mama Liu found out about this.After the Chinese New Year, next spring, Shen Yue will be ready.Gu Ningyuan originally promised him that when he was an adult, he would have a fair and honest relationship, so the road ahead naturally had to be paved in advance.In Gu's house, apart from Gu Ningyuan and Shen Yue, the most important thing is Liu Ma.Gu Ningyuan thought this way, he didn't do it deliberately, he just went with the flow, and today, Liu Ma found out.

Liu Ma will always think clearly.With her acceptance, other people will gradually accept it.

"You don't have to worry," Gu Ningyuan smiled, "When you grow up, everything will be fine."

Shen Yue looked out of the window with the corners of his mouth curled up.But after a while, he pursed his lips again.

Street lamps sent them away.

On the one hand, he felt happy that Gu Ningyuan was able to protect him like this, but on the other hand, he felt a little sad.

He really wants to grow up and also wants to protect Gu Ningyuan.

The navigator on the car pointed to the square that I had been to for Christmas.

Gu Ningyuan parked the car not far away, and walked to the square with Shen Yue.

At this time of night, all kinds of lively food stalls are in full swing, people come and go, and young people are napping, picking and picking at various stalls, eating happily.

Gu Ningyuan said: "I've never eaten these, and neither have you. Let's try them?"

Shen Yue nodded.

When he was young, he stayed in the orphanage and couldn't get enough to eat, let alone have the opportunity to eat these snacks.But when they arrived at Gu's house, they were carefully raised by Gu Ningyuan, and even what they ate had to be ordered by the nutritionist. Shen Yue himself was very restrained, and never ate these things.

There are too many stalls of all kinds, and the people who look at it are dazzled. Gu Ningyuan walked from every place. He didn't know what was delicious, so he wanted to taste a little bit of each. Filled with a dozen boxes.Gu Ningyuan bought a big bag, put everything together, and took out a box to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue took a bite first, then tiptoed, and stuffed the rest into Gu Ningyuan's mouth.If Gu Ningyuan liked it, he nodded, and Shen Yue would give him more, without caring about himself.

Gu Ningyuan said, "Eat more too."

Shen Yue changed to the next one, "I didn't like that one just now, maybe I will like the next one."

That was a very intimate gesture.

Two little girls passed by the two of them, and couldn't help but put their faces together, laughing and whispering.

They only tasted a little of each, and left their stomachs to eat one thing, and finally there was a big box of spicy crayfish.

Gu Ningyuan and Shen Yue shared half of each other, peeled off the shrimp meat, and sent it to the other party's mouth.

After eating these, they walked around the square.On nights like this, there is excitement everywhere, and couples in love walk past them.

Gu Ningyuan and Shen Yue are both.

Later, as the night got darker and it became colder outside, the stalls couldn't stay any longer, and the people almost dispersed.

Gu Ningyuan drove to another place, which was the river.At this time, it was extremely cold here, except for Gu Ningyuan and Shen Yue, there was no one else.

Shen Yue took Gu Ningyuan's hand and ran to the bridge. There were no reflections of the two of them in the river, only the ice that had formed.

Gu Ningyuan bent down and kissed Shen Yuedi's forehead, "It's just a temporary thing to come out today, if I knew it earlier, I could call someone to set off fireworks in advance."

"No need," Shen Yue held Gu Ningyuan's hand, "If the fireworks are set off, the riverside will be full of people now. Now it's fine, just the two of us."

Shen Yue smiled, thinking of the Qixi Festival, "There are a lot of fireworks here on the night of Qixi Festival. In fact, I can't watch so many fireworks. I just think that it would be great if you were here."

And these days, the lack of fireworks isn't a big deal.

He was already satisfied.
