When Gu Nianbin returned home, it was already dark. The wrought iron gate slowly opened, and through the car glass, the huge lawn was empty. But the road surface was clean, and even the leaves in the grass were only a little bit, probably just fallen.
The car was parked firmly under the tree, and when a gust of wind passed by, palm-sized leaves fluttered and fell down, either yellow or half yellow and half green soft and not greasy, looking lifeless in the twilight, Gu Nianbin picked up the roof of the car Looking up at the tall sycamore tree, it was the first time that I felt that the falling of the leaves was really boring. The leaves of some branches had all fallen, and they stretched out in the air, like tentacles of monsters, moving back and forth in the wind. After watching silently for a while, he threw the fallen leaves on the ground and entered the house.
Fang Yaru was very happy to see him back, and said, "Dinner is about to start, but you will be in a hurry."
Gu Nianbin smiled: "Let Bai Qing go for a boring party."
Putting down the bag in his hand, Gu Nianbin went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then sat at the dining table to eat. Fang Yaru talked about asking Xia Xiaowan to come to the house while picking up vegetables for her son. "I've already agreed to come over tomorrow, so you should come back earlier. It's best to pick her up when you get off work."
Gu Guangxian smiled and said to his son: "You are a big shot now. You have assistants and secretaries to take care of your official affairs, and your mother to help you with your private affairs. Remember to pay her a salary when the time comes!"
Fang Yaru glanced at her husband, "I am willing, what's the matter? Nian Bin will marry me and give birth to a big fat grandson for me early. Don't be jealous when the time comes."
"Mom," Gu Nianbin said, "Don't be too impatient, Miss Xia and I are still too early to get there."
"What's the matter?" Fang Yaru was unhappy: "I have been here at home, and I have brought her to attend formal occasions. What else can I do? You must strike while the iron is hot. Nian Bin, you have to hurry up on this matter. Have a good time with her tomorrow." Let's talk and see if we can fix a date."
Gu Nianbin glanced at his father and sighed helplessly: "Mom, if you are like this, I will simply tell her that it is inappropriate tomorrow, so as not to delay others."
"Do you dare?" Fang Yaru stared. But Gu Nianbin just raised the corners of his lips lightly, picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth to chew slowly, and stopped talking.
Fang Yaru suddenly became discouraged. His son was no longer the obedient and obedient boy he was at the beginning. He is now the president of the Gu family. threatened. What Gu Nianbin said just now sounded like a joke, but Fang Yaru knew that he could do what he said.
"Nian Bin, Mom is in a hurry, okay, take your time, I won't interfere, okay?"
Gu Nianbin gave a absent-minded hum, and glanced at the side door intentionally or unintentionally. From entering the door until now, I haven't seen Du Xiaoxian's shadow. I don't know what the little girl is doing
After dinner, Gu Nianbin didn't go upstairs, but sat in the living room with his parents drinking tea and chatting.
Two maids were cleaning up the dishes in the dining room, making rustling noises. Gu Nianbin glanced at them, lowered his head and was about to drink tea, when suddenly he heard a maid say: "Xiaoxian, help me take this to the kitchen .”
He suddenly turned his head, and he saw Du Xiaoxian carrying a soup bowl to the kitchen. For some reason, that thin figure made his heart tremble slightly, as if he had been pricked by a needle, but it wasn't pain, but an...unexplainable feeling.
He shouted without thinking: "Du Xiaoxian!"
Du Xiaoxian had already walked to the door with the soup bowl, and returned to him: "Master, did you call me?"
"Have you finished your homework?"
"It's finished."
"Bring it to me and have a look."
"Okay," Du Xiaoxian replied, "I'll bring it to you as soon as I put it away."
Fang Yaru looked at her son and smiled: "You don't have time to worry about her."
Gu Nianbin smiled: "It's not a matter of management, just help her take a look."
Fang Yaru took the opportunity to say: "If you give birth early, you can take care of your own children now."
As soon as she mentioned this, Gu Nianbin stopped talking and just drank tea in silence.
After a while, Du Xiaoxian showed Gu Nianbin the homework, and then stood aside with a blushing face. The young master checked her homework in front of the master and his wife. Du Xiaoxian felt very embarrassed about the homework.
Nian Bin flipped through it casually, "There are a few mistakes, go to the study, and I will tell you briefly."
Du Xiaoxian said softly: "Okay." He lowered his head and followed Gu Nianbin upstairs.
Fang Yaru looked at their backs, slightly surprised, and said to Gu Guangxian, "Is Nian Bin being too enthusiastic about Du Xiaoxian?"
Gu Guangxian said disapprovingly: "Nian Bin is a responsible person. Since Xiaoxian is sent to school, she must be managed well. You have to start and finish everything!"
"But Du Xiaoxian is a girl after all." Fang Yaru said.
"Don't worry, it's ten years away, and Xiaoxian is an honest child, so he won't have any thoughts about Nian Bin."
"I'm not worried about Xiaoxian, I'm afraid of Nian Bin..."
"Then don't worry, Xia Xiaowan is the one in his heart. After so many years, who can shake it?"
Fang Yaru felt that her husband was right. She had been obsessed with it for more than ten years, but she was not just in a daze...
Du Xiaoxian was quite familiar with Gu Nianbin's study room and his habits. Before Gu Nianbin could speak, he took a bottle of water from the cabinet and put it on the table.
Gu Nianbin smiled and said, "What about your own?"
"I just drank it, so I'm not thirsty." She moved a chair over and sat next to Gu Nianbin.
Gu Nianbin smiled, rubbed her hair, opened the homework book, and pointed out the mistakes to her. In fact, it was not a big mistake. Some people wrote the wrong words carelessly. The meaning is the same, but the word order What is upside down is that the format specification is not in place. Du Xiaoxian was very annoyed every time he pointed out one point, after he had clearly checked it, why was there still something wrong? She is not a perfectionist, she just feels that she is too stupid and makes the young master worry again.
Under Gu Nianbin's guidance, Du Xiaoxian corrected all the mistakes, then packed up his homework and got up to leave. Gu Nianbin called her to stop: "Why did you come back so late today?"
At the mention of this, Du Xiaoxian seemed a little complacent, raised his face and smiled at Gu Nianbin: "Master, I made friends today."
"Really?" Gu Nianbin pulled her to sit down: "Tell me, how did you deliver it?"
Du Xiaoxian recounted the matter of having lunch with Yang Liying and the others at noon, and said: "After school, Yang Liying said that her hand hurts. I helped her on duty, so I came back late."
Although Du Xiaoxian said from beginning to end how Yang Liying and the others treated her well, Gu Nianbin still heard something else. Is it good for her to let her run errands several times in a row? Obviously just playing with her, just a few pieces of meat, she is grateful to others. What a silly girl!
But he didn't point out that in Du Xiaoxian's world, there were only a handful of people who were kind to her, and he didn't want to make her sad. Although she has suffered all kinds of hardships since she was a child, she still has the most sincere heart for the world. Moreover, he felt that since he let her go and let her be independent, and let her slowly see the dangers of society, it would be better for her to comprehend many things by herself than he said.
Du Xiaoxian observed Gu Nianbin's face after finishing speaking to see if he was happy, but she looked around, the young master just smiled gently, not very happy.
"Master," Du Xiaoxian asked hesitantly, "Do you think the friends I make are not good?"
Gu Nianbin didn't want to say yes or no, so he took off the lid of the water bottle and handed it to her: "Let's talk after drinking some water."
Now Du Xiaoxian is used to being obedient to Gu Nianbin, so he didn't think much about it. He took it and drank it. After drinking it, he scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Master, I drank your water."
"It's okay," Gu Nianbin put the water bottle cap on the side, looked Du Xiaoxian up and down: "Do these clothes still fit?"
"Well," Du Xiaoxian nodded happily: "Miss looks much taller than me, but her clothes fit me just right!"
Gu Nianbin said: "It just fits well, I still have some, I'll sort it out in two days and give it to you."
"No, no, it's enough." Du Xiaoxian quickly waved his hands: "And the young lady is not at home, it's not good for me to take so many clothes from her."
"The ones she doesn't want are all thrown in the utility room. They are meant to be given away anyway. It's better to give them to you than others. Besides, the weather is getting colder. You need to have some seasonal clothes."
Du Xiaoxian stopped talking, lowered her head and pulled the hem of her clothes. Gu Nianbin was right, she needs to change clothes for the season. It wasn't until she got to school that she couldn't wear those clothes. It wasn't because she was afraid that others would laugh at her. She was just afraid of embarrassing Gu Nianbin. The young master was a godlike figure in her heart, and she didn't allow herself to wipe a little bit of it on him. black.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Nianbin knew that she agreed. Ever since he took her to buy clothes last time, Gu Nianbin knew that Du Xiaoxian would not go there again, because in her heart, those clothes were too expensive, and she felt burdened to wear them. If he said to give it away, then Du Xiaoxian would not want it, the little girl has already made it clear: You will not be rewarded for nothing.
He thought about it for a long time, finally came up with this method, and then tried to induce Du Xiaoxian to make Du Xiaoxian think that if she went to school dressed in rustic clothes, he would feel embarrassed or something. The little girl was really fooled and accepted it. That big bag of clothes. Each piece was carefully selected by him, and the size was suitable. It fit Du Xiaoxian's body exactly, and his thin body showed a petite and exquisite taste against the background of those clothes.
After talking about the clothes, Gu Nianbin couldn't find another topic for a while, so he was silent for a while, and Du Xiaoxian quickly stood up: "Master, rest, I'm going down."
Seeing that she was approaching the door, Gu Nianbin suddenly called her again: "Xiaoxian."
Du Xiaoxian responded and turned to look at him.
Gu Nianbin said: "Well, come back early tomorrow, don't play on the road."
Du Xiaoxian said: "Okay, young master, I understand."
Gu Nianbin said again: "There is no rush to make friends. I said that you have to keep your eyes open when you make friends. You should see clearly before you make friends."
"Okay." Du Xiaoxian put his hand on the doorknob: "I will, young master."
"Well, do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, Madam gave me half of my salary in advance."
"Eat better for lunch, don't buy food to save money."
"I know, you have to eat meat to gain weight." Du Xiaoxian blinked and said, "I ate meat at noon today. I ate a lot!"
"If you have anything to do, just go to the principal directly, and he will take care of it for you."
"good."
Gu Nianbin was silent for a while, then called her again: "Xiaoxian."
"Yes, master."
"Don't say yes."
"Okay, master."
"Go down and rest early, you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, master." Du Xiaoxian nodded, opened the door and went out.
Gu Nianbin watched the door being gently closed from the outside, he let out a breath suddenly, picked up the bottle of water that Du Xiaoxian drank, filled half of it in one go, got up and went to take a bath.
