Gu Zhuoyan was packing his things at home, and he didn't have much to bring. A total of one backpack was enough.
After packing up, he wrote the plan in the memo, and rested for half a day at home. Next Monday to Wednesday will be the competition time. Where is the venue from? He glanced at the announcement that the venue was the Sophie Hotel.
Gu Zhuoyan sneered and opened the four-person chat group: "Mingzi, get out."
Lian Yiming said, "Be polite."
Gu Zhuoyan said, "Is your hotel holding a competition in two days?"
"Yeah, international competition." Lian Yiming suddenly realized after finishing this sentence, "I remembered! Are you coming back to participate?!"
Gu Zhuoyan said, "The flight at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
In one sentence, Su Wang also blew up, and replied with a long list of "celebrating" expressions, without typing, showing a hint of perfunctory in the joy. Gu Zhuoyan provoked: "What's your attitude?"
Su Wang said annoyed: "It's really hard to serve, and it's inconvenient to type in the infusion."
Gu Zhuoyan asked, "Why is it so sick at this point, can I still participate in the competition?"
It's hard to say, Su Wang was stabbed a while ago, and his father almost adopted him to the tutor. Who would have thought that he had contracted the cold in the past two days, and he would lie down after infusion every day.
Among the four of them, Gu Zhuoyan and Su Wang had the best grades, followed by Lian Yiming, but they were also the ones who knew what they wanted. Only Lu Wen doesn't have four or six, and he has nothing serious to do except indulge in a band.
Gu Zhuoyan called out, "Where's the lead singer Lu, how's the concert going?"
Lu Wen finally went online: "I'm in hot preparation, see you at 6 o'clock in the evening of the National Day!"
"Chacha" is a light club, suitable for gatherings of young people. After being poor for a while, it was getting late. Gu Zhuoyan said, "That's it, I'll go back tomorrow."
"Wait for you!" Su Wang showed passion and withered quickly, "I will have an infusion tomorrow, so I won't be picking up the plane."
Lu Wen said: "I'm too tired, I can't get out of bed on weekends."
Even Yiming is not a good thing: "I have an appointment with a coach to ride a horse, but I don't want to let the horses and pigeons go."
None of them went to pick him up, but Gu Zhuoyan didn't care about that, he would definitely be picked up at home anyway. At this time, Sister Hu came out of the bedroom, more tired than cleaning the whole villa. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Sister Hu said sadly, "Help Baoyan clean up, I can't figure it out."
Gu Zhuoyan forgot about the girl, and walked to the bedroom to open the door. Good guy, the suitcase was spread out on the ground, the bed was full of flowers and skirts were so high, Gu Baoyan was talking on the phone with Bond on his head.
Just like Gu Zhuoyan chatting with his buddies, Gu Baoyan is chatting with his sisters. When he goes back tomorrow, he will have a party on what date, and he will not call that person because he didn't invite her on his birthday.
Gu Zhuoyan coughed: "Sister, are you almost done talking?"
Gu Baoyan glanced at him, and said into the phone, "Don't talk about it, my brother is here. I don't know if there is anything else to bother me, so let's say goodbye first."
"..." Gu Zhuoyan rubbed his temples, and waited for the eldest lady to hang up the phone, "Make a hole and go to bed quickly, and don't go home if you don't get up tomorrow."
Gu Baoyan got into the bed and asked, "Brother, which skirt should I bring back?"
How did Gu Zhuoyan know that it was a virtue to say what he said and what to wear, so he just stuffed two pieces into his bag, and watched Gu Baoyan open his eyes in a daze, raised his horns and covered him completely.
Gu Baoyan opened it and muttered, "I will see my parents tomorrow."
Gu Zhuoyan moved for a while. At first, he tricked the little girl into trying to hold the emperor to make the princes. As a result, Gu Baoyan's ability to adapt is stronger than his. He tucked the quilt for Gu Baoyan: "stay home for a few days, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come back."
Gu Baoyan shook his head: "I will accompany you back."
There was firmness in the child's voice, perhaps because he was afraid that his elder brother would be alone here, or perhaps because he was afraid that his grandfather would miss him, in short, Gu Zhuoyan was a little moved. Before the word "good" could be exaggerated, Gu Baoyan said shyly, "I can't bear to bear brother Xiao Zhuang."
Gu Zhuoyan is self-motivated. He didn't expect the love of elementary school students to be so lasting, but he reminded him, he coaxed: "Baoyan, don't mention Brother Xiao Zhuang to your parents when you get home, you know?"
Gu Baoyan asked, "Why? I would tell them whoever I liked before."
Gu Zhuoyan thought to himself, since the kindergarten class began to like others, whoever eats a lot, likes whoever washes his hands quickly, the children of modern times are really both fraternity and precocious. Despite this, he still patiently said: "Baby, if you like Brother Xiao Zhuang, you can tell Mom and Dad when Brother Xiao Zhuang likes you too."
Gu Baoyan was impatient: "Hey, how do you know that Brother Xiao Zhuang doesn't like me?"
Gu Zhuoyan clenched his fists: "If he doesn't admit it himself, it doesn't count."
"What do you know?" Gu Baoyan turned over, "People are shy."
This is completely playing the piano to the cow. Although Gu Zhuoyan is gay, he is afraid of childbirth at this moment. It was useless to persuade him to be good, so he simply stopped talking nonsense and said, "Whatever you want, don't let me play games for you in the future."
Gu Baoyan said immediately: "If you don't tell, don't tell!"
Therefore, coercion and inducement are still effective. After making arrangements, Gu Zhuoyan also went back to his room to rest as soon as possible. Before falling asleep, he thought to himself mockingly that he once planned to hook up with Zhuang Fan to anger his parents, but now he can't wait to cover it up to prevent his love from dying prematurely.
We will meet tomorrow, and I don't know what it will be like.
The next morning, Xue Maochen personally escorted the two brothers and sisters to the airport. It was better not to be together at ordinary times. After two months of life, their feelings had warmed up. Gu Zhuoyan wanted Xue Maochen to go back with them for a few days.
But the old man refused, and when he went back, he would definitely be invited by Gu Zhuoyan's grandfather.
Gu Zhuoyan laughed: "Then you don't want my mother?"
"It's alright, I can see that her recent photos are pretty, so I'm relieved." Xue Maochen pinched Gu Baoyan's face, "Okay, I have to help Xiaozhuang collect newspapers, you guys hurry up and go to the security check!"
Gu Zhuoyan dragged Gu Baoyan through the security check, and when the plane took off, Rongcheng became smaller and smaller outside the window, gradually turning into a pile of color blocks. When I came here, everything was unfamiliar, and it was unpleasant to look at it, but now I am a little nostalgic.
"Brother." Gu Baoyan asked, "When you get home, will you still quarrel with your father?"
This is a good question, Gu Zhuoyan said: "It depends on our mood."
Gu Baoyan said sadly: "Then don't fight... That time Dad was going to slap you, I was so scared."
Gu Zhuoyan said: "Don't be afraid, didn't you get hit in the end?" He took out a book for entertainment, "Dad is in his forties, he can't beat me, and I can't catch up even if I hide from him?"
Gu Baoyan was a little relieved: "That's right, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves."
The brothers and sisters arranged Gu Shibo all the way. Anyway, they didn't say anything good. It was nine o'clock in the blink of an eye. Zhuang Fanxin left at this time yesterday, so he should have arrived in Los Angeles. Long-distance flights are always tiring, and there are still some things to do after arrival, so Gu Zhuoyan is not going to disturb the other party.
At eleven o'clock, the plane landed and taxied, and the greenery of the southern country outside the window was replaced by the golden autumn scenery of the northern country. Passengers got off the plane one after another, and there were too many people. Gu Zhuoyan kept tightly on the strap of Gu Baoyan's schoolbag.
There were also many people picking up the plane. Among them, a golden sign was the most conspicuous, big and flashing, and it read: Welcome Gu Zhuoyan home!
"Fuck me." Gu Zhuoyan strode over to see which idiot was holding a sign behind him. Sure enough, the sign showed Lu Wen's face.
"Surprise!" Lu Wen excitedly said, "The last time I welcomed so much was the 19th National Congress!"
Gu Zhuoyan broke the foam brand into several pieces, wishing to hold it in his arms, and asked, "Why don't you hold a bunch of flowers anymore? Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't pick up the plane?"
Lu Wen replied: "It may be because I miss you, I woke up before eight o'clock."
As he was talking, Lian Yiming came running from not far away, gave Gu Zhuoyan a hug, and panted, "I thought about it... Brothers are more important than horses..."
As soon as the voice fell, another person appeared in the direction of the beverage machine. Su Wang held a tissue in one hand and hot water in the other, and walked slowly like an old, weak, sick or disabled. The first two were at least physically strong, and Gu Zhuoyan said speechlessly, "Why are you still doing this?"
Su Wang said: "I thought that no one would come to pick me up. It would be very dishonest. I would have never come if I knew they were coming. I haven't had an infusion today."
The four of them walked out of the airport lobby talking. There was a man in a suit and leather shoes standing on the side of the road. It was Gu Shibo's driver, Lao Xu. Lao Xu came to pick up the bags of the brothers and sisters. The door of the car on the road opened and Xue Manzi got out of the car.
"Mom!" Gu Baoyan ran away.
Gu Zhuoyan took two steps forward and was surrounded by Lian Yiming and the others. When they got to the car, the three called out "Auntie" in unison. While Gu Baoyan and Xue Manzi were hot, the three gathered around Gu Zhuoyan and whispered, Lu Wen said, "If you want to go home, why don't you go to my house first?"
Su Wang said: "My family is fine too, let's talk about the total competition."
While whispering, Lian Yiming touched the two and said hesitantly, "If I read correctly, is there still a person sitting in the car?"
They looked over together, and vaguely saw a silhouette in the back row, but Gu Shibo also came. Lu Wen and Su Wang immediately pushed Gu Zhuoyan outward, and changed their words: "Don't go to my house, what if your father suspects that you have an affair with us?"
Loyalty is such a thing, if it is scattered, it will be scattered. Gu Zhuoyan glanced at the glass in the back row, then pretended not to see anything, opened the door and got into the passenger car.
Xue Manzi sighed secretly and took Gu Baoyan into the car. As soon as the rear door opened, Gu Baoyan shouted, "Dad! Why are you still hiding!"
Gu Shibo opened his hand: "Get in the car, do you want Dad?"
The whole family is together, the driver drives silently, and the two big ones coax a small one. Gu Zhuoyan plugged in his headphones to listen to the song, closed his eyes, and returned home half-dead.
The car drove into the gate of Gu's house, the lawn beside the road was still green, the fountain was still spraying, and nothing changed. In front of the main building, Gu Zhuoyan got out of the car, and Gu Shibo also got out of the car. The father and son ignored each other and finally met each other.
Gu Shibo didn't say a word, waiting for Gu Zhuoyan to call "Dad" first, and they have been living together peacefully for the past few days, regardless of the previous unhappiness. Gu Zhuoyan hooked the earphone cord, moved his lips, but hummed a lyric. He was very clear in his heart, shouting was equivalent to subduing, so he didn't scream. Anyway, the relationship between father and son is printed on the household registration book, and a little shouting can't change this fact.
The atmosphere was a little stiff, Xue Manzi said in time: "It's twelve o'clock, let's have lunch first."
Unexpectedly, after the family sat at the same table, the atmosphere was even more rigid than before.
Gu Baoyan looked at his father and then at his brother, too frightened to move his chopsticks. Suddenly remembering the words on the plane, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad, you can't beat your brother anyway, so don't be angry."
"I can't beat it?" Gu Shibo said, "I taught him all that, and he still wants to beat me?"
Gu Baoyan explained: "Because my brother said you are old."
Gu Shibo looked stern: "Then tell him, you can try it."
Gu Zhuoyan has not spoken, Gu Zhuoyan said at this moment: "No time."
The atmosphere during the previous call was already bad enough, and when we met, it was even more undercurrent, as if the contradiction would be turned up in the next second. After eating a few chopsticks, Gu Zhuoyan used the exam tomorrow as an excuse to walk out of the main building.
He looked at his mobile phone as he walked, and when he passed the building, he swiped on the circle of friends that Zhuang Fanxin had just posted. In the photo, Zhuang Fanxin was holding an old man on the left and an old lady on the right, with a very bright smile.
Gu Zhuoyan sat down beside the fountain and gave a compliment.
Zhuang Fanxin's message immediately came: "I'm in Los Angeles!"
Gu Zhuoyan replied, "I'm home too."
Zhuang Fan was full of energy: "I saw my grandparents!"
Gu Zhuoyan said deadly, "I saw my parents and my mother."
"Aren't you quarreling?" Zhuang Fanxin asked, and he couldn't help worrying about it on the other side of the ocean, "Haha, definitely not, I know you are very reliable."
Gu Zhuoyan felt a little guilty, got up and paced, and walked back into the building for some reason. Zhuang Fanxin sent another sentence: "Your parents must miss you very much, you don't need to say anything, they will be happy when you call them."
He met Gu Shibo at the door of the coffee shop, and the eye contact was staggered again. When he was about to pass by, Gu Zhuoyan, like Zhuang Fanxin's marionette, suddenly called out "Dad".
Gu Shibo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted for a long time: "...Drink coffee."
Gu Zhuoyan bit his head: "Come on, let's have a cup."
