In the afternoon, Qiao Yanzhou and Gu Zixing went out for a casual stroll, and when it was almost evening, Qiao's mother called and said that she wanted to invite Gu Zixing to eat roast duck.
Gu Zixing is not very interested in eating, especially when he was in the club and caught up with the game concentration, he basically had his last meal but never his next meal. It was hard to refuse, so he and Qiao Yanzhou walked around for a while before going to eat.
Qiao's mother was in a good mood after winning more than 20 yuan playing mahjong in the afternoon, so she put on a special make-up before going out, and she looked much younger.
Qiao Ai didn't finish class until after eight o'clock in the evening, and it was at least 8:20 to arrive at the restaurant, so Mother Qiao ordered a few dishes first on her own initiative.
Roast duck is basically the exclusive specialty of City B. Although there are many restaurants in other places, they are not as authentic as those from City B. Gu Zixing didn't eat much when he was in S city, so at the dinner table, Qiao Yanzhou taught him how to roll duck meat, green onions and noodle sauce together, how much meat should be put in the sauce to make it delicious, From the inside to the outside, it is as meticulous as serving the Empress Dowager Cixi for dinner.
Later, Gu Zixing learned it, but found that Qiao Yanzhou didn't eat much, so he asked him why he didn't eat it. After learning that Qiao Yanzhou was too troublesome to do it, Gu Zixing rolled Qiao Yanzhou several times in a row, and finally supported Qiao Yanzhou. hiccup.
"You guys eat, I'll go out and see if Xiao Ai is here." Halfway through eating, Dad Qiao suddenly stood up and smiled, pointing to the door, "Come right back."
"See if Xiao Ai is back, you just want to go out to smoke." Qiao's mother gave Qiao's father an angry look, then turned to look at Qiao Yanzhou, "Zhouzi, the drink is gone, you just happened to go out with your father Go buy another bottle."
"Oh good." Qiao Yanzhou stood up and patted Gu Zixing beside him, "You can go with me."
Gu Zixing just wanted to get up, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Qiao's mother: "Hey, how old are you, and you have to be followed to buy a bottle of drink?"
"mom… "
"Mom, go by yourself." Qiao's mother looked determined, "Leave Xiao Gu, just the two of us chatting, it's boring for me to be here alone."
"What are you talking about with him?" Qiao Yanzhou frowned, and muttered casually, but didn't continue, because he knew that he would never be able to speak up to his own mother, so he quietly watched After glancing at Gu Zixing, he turned and went out.
In a blink of an eye, there were only Gu Zixing and Mother Qiao left in the private room. I don't know if it was because of the small number of people, the atmosphere suddenly dropped several degrees.
Qiao's mother stood up and put a duck's foot with mustard on Gu Zixing's plate.
"This is a bit spicy, Xiao Gu, you can eat it with something else." Mother Qiao smiled and put down the chopsticks.
The chopsticks were all put down, and the chatting posture was pulled away as it should be. Gu Zixing didn't say anything, and quietly waited for Qiao's mother to speak.
"Xiao Gu, our Xiaozhou has been taken care of by you for a while." Qiao's mother smiled naturally, but her tone was a little different from before. He's especially immature, and it's because his dad and I didn't care much about him before. But your circle is deep and I'm afraid that Zhouzi will suffer."
Just as Gu Zixing was about to speak, his phone vibrated suddenly.
WeChat message:
Silly Baimeng: What did my mother tell you
Silly Baimeng's note was changed by Gu Zixing to Qiao Yanzhou a long time ago, but it became more and more appropriate later on, and he was reluctant to change it.
"Auntie, Yanzhou has been out by himself for so long, you have to have confidence in him." While answering Qiao's mother's words, Gu Zixing quickly replied to Qiao Yanzhou: Said that he was afraid that you would suffer.
"How confident can I be? I have been to the house he rented before, that is, to ensure that there is no leak or leak. He sat in front of that computer every day for a whole day, and his body was completely broken. So Auntie is really From the bottom of my heart, thank you for doing such a big favor to our family Zhouzi." Qiao's mother raised it and was touched by Gu Zixing. "Of course I'm happy that you two are always together, I just hope that Zhouzi won't delay you."
Gu Zixing held his wine glass in a daze for a moment. To be honest, Qiao's mother's last sentence didn't sound wrong at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really harsh.
This should be the second meal that Gu Zixing and Qiao Yanzhou's family ate, and it was the first time that Gu Zixing felt a kind of nervousness that he had never felt before.
It seems to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact it panics. This is the word that best describes Gu Zixing's state.
Silly Baimeng: Did my mother notice something
Star: I don't know
Silly Baimeng: Hold on to brother, I'll go back right away
Gu Zixing smiled at the phone screen.
"Zhouzi should be in your team..." Qiao Ma was about to say something when suddenly the door of the private room was opened, and Qiao Ai came in from the outside with her schoolbag on her back and said hello to Gu Zixing.
Seeing Qiao Ai, Qiao's mother froze for a moment, and her expression changed slightly: "Why did you come back by yourself, where is your father?"
"Smoking outside." Qiao Ai put her schoolbag on the chair behind, sat down next to Gu Zixing, and picked up a pair of unused chopsticks. The fee is worth it."
Qiao Ai's arrival obviously interrupted what Qiao's mother wanted to say to Gu Zixing alone. Qiao's mother was taken aback for a moment, but soon recovered her smile: "It's a good thing for a teacher to be responsible. Eat early and eat late It doesn't matter."
"Yeah," Qiao Ai nodded again and again, "Where's my brother?"
"I went to buy a drink, I should be back soon." Mother Qiao said.
Qiao Yanzhou came back about ten minutes later, together with Qiao's father and the others, they both smelled like cigarettes.
"Let's go to a movie tonight," Qiao Yanzhou discussed with Gu Zixing after sitting back in his seat, "Our house basically only goes shopping and eats to watch movies."
"Yeah." Gu Zixing took out his phone, "Let me take a look..."
"I'll go too, I'll go too!" Qiao Ai quickly put down her chopsticks and came over when she saw that the two were about to book movie tickets.
"Where are you going? You are going to take the school bus at six o'clock tomorrow morning." Qiao's father interrupted Qiao Ai mercilessly, "I borrowed your car from Uncle Wang. If you are late tomorrow, I will not be able to take you off."
Qiao Ai curled her lips and said nothing, but her eyes were still fixed on Gu Zixing's cell phone.
"Go, I'm stupid after studying every day." Qiao's mother frowned, and patted Qiao's father, "Xiao Ai, don't listen to your father, go, I don't worry if you go out with your brother and brother Gu If you can't catch the school bus tomorrow, take a taxi."
"Baby's mother?" Father Qiao was obviously stunned when he heard this. Looking at the terrified and surprised expression, he seemed a little bit unconvinced that this was the words of his wife who had lived with her for more than 20 years. if.
"Let your dad help you carry your schoolbag back in a while," Qiao's mother didn't care about Qiao's father's intentions at all, and looked down at the time while talking, "You can still catch the last subway."
Perhaps this is the courage of the head of the family in the legend.

It was 9:30 when I came out of the hotel. Gu Zixing and Qiao Yanzhou had booked three movie tickets for "After Lights Out" at 10:15, so it seemed that there was enough time.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother went home first, and Qiao Yanzhou took Qiao Ai and Gu Zixing to the subway station and walked towards the studio together.
Because this line leads to the commercial area, even though it is very late now, there are still many people on the bus. Qiao Yanzhou helped Qiao Ai find a seat, and he and Gu Zixing stood on the side of the carriage. in the corner.
"I think the purpose of my mother's insistence on letting Qiao Ai come here is actually to put an eyeliner on herself." Qiao Yanzhou lowered his voice and said.
Gu Zixing smiled.
"I went out to buy drinks just now, did my mother tell you something again?"
"No." Gu Zixing tilted his head, "Xiao Qiao, your mother is still so sensitive to such things at this age."
"Actually not, maybe I'm too sensitive, and I'm a bit guilty." Qiao Yanzhou shook his head and sighed, "But to be honest, I really hope that my mother can see it by herself, so that I won't have to worry about how to deal with them said."
Gu Zixing didn't say anything, he hesitated for a moment and suddenly reached out and hugged Qiao Yanzhou's waist.
"Hey!" Qiao Yanzhou was taken aback, and quickly slapped Gu Zixing's hand off, then carefully looked around to see if anyone noticed, "You lost your mind?"
"I'm sorry," Gu Zixing whispered with a smirk. "I can't hold back."
—
"After Turning Off the Lights" is a horror film produced in the United States. Qiao Yanzhou suggested to watch it, but he regretted it after booking the tickets.
He really didn't know why he, who obviously didn't even have the courage to play horror games, said he wanted to watch a horror movie with an extremely high rating, and Gu Zixing and Qiao Ai didn't raise any objections at all.
"Little Qiao, you scratched me..." This was the first sentence Gu Zixing said after the movie started, his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
However, after Gu Zixing finished saying this, Qiao Yanzhou was still holding on to Gu Zixing's arm with no intention of letting go, and he didn't even want to eat popcorn.
Gu Zixing couldn't help turning his head to look at Qiao Yanzhou, and suddenly smiled.
"why are you laughing."
Gu Zixing narrowed his eyes, grabbed a few popcorns from his bucket, stuffed them into Qiao Yanzhou's mouth, leaned into Qiao Yanzhou's ear and said, "Your sister is better than you."
"Nonsense, she's been like a tomboy since she was a child." Qiao Yanzhou pouted, "I can't, I've been following the path of a little fairy recently."
"Oh, you're dead." Gu Zixing leaned back in the chair, holding back his laughter until his shoulders shook.
"Laughing and taking off your pants again." Qiao Yanzhou felt a little uneasy.
"Little Qiao," Gu Zixing clicked his tongue.
"It's not good for you if your husband is seen by others."
