Gu Shao's hand on the doorknob trembled.
Gu Shao lowered his face and pushed the door in.
At this time, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Sheng Xiuyan was helping Gu Xi with an ice pack.
There was nothing wrong with the actions of the two, but they were so close together that Gu Shao's temples throbbed violently.
Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi on the other end finally noticed Gu Shao who entered the room.
"Dad, you're back." Gu Xi called out to Gu Shao, because he spoke too hastily, and the side of his face caused another dull pain.
Seeing that Gu Xi seemed to frown because of the pain, the sternness in Gu Shao's eyes eased a lot.
- When he helped Gu Xibing to apply it yesterday, the girl kept screaming about pain. It looks much better now than it did in the morning.
Hearing that Gu Shao was back, Sheng Xiuyan also put away the ice pack in his hand, got up and turned to face Gu Shao.
Sheng Xiuyan quickly hid the embarrassment in his eyes and called Gu Shao "Uncle Gu."
However, from the hand he held tightly to the ice pack, he could see how nervous this man was at this time.
Not only Sheng Xiuyan, but Gu Xi also became nervous.
- Strange, Sheng Xiuyan often came to Gu's house before, and he also followed Gu Chenyi and the others here. Originally, the few of them were considered to be playing together. Gu Xi never felt anything before, but now he is inexplicably guilty.
This is probably a guilty conscience of being a 'thief'...
Gu Xi murmured silently in her heart, and then she smiled at Gu Shao, pointing at Sheng Xiuyan and explained, "He came back from S City and heard that I had an operation, so stop by to have a look."
Gu Xi particularly emphasized the word 'by the way'.
-Is it
Gu Shao narrowed his eyes. How did he hear that Professor Zhou's visit and study was not over yet, and this kid asked for leave early and ran back
Gu Shao glanced past Gu Xi and looked at Sheng Xiuyan.
"How is your study?" Gu Shao 'concerned', but his stern voice didn't mean the slightest bit of concern.
"Not bad," Sheng Xiuyan said, paused, and said without concealing: "The content of the visit later has little to do with my direction, so I came back early."
Gu Shao was noncommittal about someone's explanation, and his eyes moved to the restaurant, where Sheng Xiuyan cooked the porridge for Gu Xi.
- By the way, you even have meals 'by the way'
"I'm going to clean up." Sheng Xiu said, preparing to wash the dishes.
Gu Xi had eaten and said that her teeth hurt, so he gave her an ice pack first.
"Let it go." Gu Shao stopped Sheng Xiuyan in a deep voice.
Sheng Xiuyan was stunned.
He heard Gu Shao say again, "There's no reason to let guests wash the dishes."
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Gu Shao bit the word 'guest' very hard, and even had a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"Sit down." Gu Shao asked Sheng Xiuyan to sit down.
Seeing Sheng Xiuyan sitting next to Gu Xi, Gu Shao frowned.
- Before the two played together and participated in the competition together, there were too many times in the same frame, and Gu Shao would not care too much, but today, it always feels particularly dazzling.
"Xi Xi."
"Ok?"
"Go and add some clothes, I'll catch a cold in a while." Gu Shao said.
Hearing this, Gu Xi's mouth twitched. She originally wanted to say that it was not cold in the summer, and her home clothes were thick enough. However, when she met Gu Shao's rare strict eyes, Gu Xi still gave Sheng Xiuyan a 'seek for more' Fu' eyes, got up to add clothes.
Here, Gu Shao looked at Sheng Xiuyan, and said blankly, "Professor Zhou said you're good."
Gu Shao's words sounded like he was praising Sheng Xiuyan word by word, but he couldn't hear the slightest meaning of praising Sheng Xiuyan from his tone.
Sheng Xiuyan nodded, but did not speak. When he met Gu Shao's gaze, he always felt an invisible coldness, like a light on his back.
"In the research group, watch more, ask more, learn more, don't be afraid of trouble, and don't fish for three days and two days for nets." Gu Shao said.
Sheng Xiuyan nodded: "I will."
"Be active and do more."
"Okay." Sheng Xiuyan replied again.
But he heard Gu Shao say again: "Aren't you going?"
Sheng Xiuyan: "?" Where are you going? Professor Zhou's research group? now
Gu Xi, who had just changed her clothes and came out, was dumbfounded.
- Dad, your words of driving people away are too blunt, there is no turning point.
Gu Xi silently glanced at the time: 7:30 pm.
Not to mention that Professor Zhou's entire research group went to City S, except Sheng Xiuyan, no one else came back. Usually, at this point in time, the research group has already finished work.
After understanding what Gu Shao meant, Sheng Xiuyan got up and said goodbye, although he was a little reluctant in his heart.
—
After sending a certain unsightly boy away, Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi again.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xi felt guilty, but returned to Gu Shao with a calm and 'ignorant' expression on her face.
After watching Gu Xi for two seconds, Gu Shao finally sighed and said, "It's fine for you and the Shen family to do projects and games together, but you should also keep your distance and don't get too close."
"Well, why?" Gu Xi asked subconsciously, and said again, "Haven't we always been like this? And Gu Chenyi, big brother and little brother."
Here is the problem!
Gu Shao thought to himself, and said to Gu Xi in a deep voice, "Although you two played together, the Shen family boy is different from Gu Chenyi and the others after all."
Gu Yanlin, Gu Yanxiao, Gu Chenyi and Gu Xi are cousins, cousins, and cousins. Of course, it's okay to have a close relationship, but Sheng Xiuyan put it bluntly and it doesn't matter.
After that, Gu Shao glanced at the porridge made by Sheng Xiuyan over there, as well as the side dishes that were intentionally chopped into pieces, and a hint of danger flashed in Gu Shao's eyes.
- A boy is good to a girl, and he is so careful, except for ulterior motives, that is, ulterior motives.
Gu Shao didn't say this, but he just had such an intuition, which stemmed from an old father's sense of crisis.
"Anyway, keep the distance you should have."
"No." Gu Xi replied vaguely.
Seeing that Gu Shao's face seemed to soften, Gu Xicai asked again, seemingly unintentionally, "Dad, were you talking to Sheng Xiu about the project?"
"That's it." Gu Shao simply replied: The main purpose is to send the kid away.
"Sheng Xiuyan's performance in the project team is very good?" Gu Xi asked again.
"Zhou Chenwei is very optimistic about him." This is the truth.
"Then—" After a pause, Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao, and then asked sideways, "How about you, Dad? What do you think of Sheng Xiuyan?"
Gu Xi's words seemed to be casual, but in fact, there was anxiety and anticipation hidden in her heart.
As a result, he heard Gu Shao indifferently throw out a sentence: "Not much."
Gu Xi:
"No, don't you think he's actually quite..." Okay.
Gu Xi wanted to refute Gu Shao's words.
In the middle of the conversation, Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi, Gu Xi felt a little cowardly, and stopped embarrassingly.
—
After a while, Gu Shao finished cleaning up the dishes, and when Gu Xi was not around, he called Zhou Chenwei, who is currently the leader of Sheng Xiuyan's largest research group.
The call was connected quickly.
"Professor Gu, what are your orders?" On the phone, Professor Zhou asked with a smile. The other party seemed very happy when he received a call from Gu Shao.
"Don't tell me," Gu Shao said with a smile. After a while, he asked, "How is Sheng Xiuyan with you?"
"Xiaosheng, it's not bad, it's very good at learning, and it's quick to learn. The point is to be humble, young people, not bad!" When it came to Sheng Xiuyan, Professor Zhou was very satisfied.
Gu Shao responded calmly and said, "That boy is not bad, you can give him more opportunities to exercise."
Hearing Gu Shao's words, Professor Zhou on the other end immediately reacted, Gu Shao's meaning should be to let him take more care of Sheng Xiuyan.
Of course that's fine! Originally, Sheng Xiuyan was trained by him as a key seed student.
"Haha, don't worry, Professor Gu, I will definitely give priority to Xiaosheng when there are good opportunities and projects." Professor Zhou said with a smile.
Gu Shao frowned slightly.
"It's not just projects, you can usually arrange any work in your research room for him."
"What other work can I do in my laboratory, and the rest are errands and errands." Professor Zhou joked.
In the end, Gu Shao responded, "Alright."
"You..." The more and more Professor Zhou listened, the more mysterious he became, and he gradually felt something was wrong: why did he think that Gu Shao was either supporting Sheng Xiuyan, or simply looking for something to do for Sheng Xiuyan
"Of course, if there are any other provinces or overseas docking projects, you can also consider letting him go."
After saying that, Gu Shao added a more serious sentence: "Young people, you need experience."
Professor Zhou: "..." Well, now not only do I have to find people to do things, but I also want to throw people far away.
"What kind of grudges do the Gu family and Sheng Xiuyan have in their family?" Didn't they say they were good friends? Is there such a filthy junior
After finishing the call with Gu Shao, Professor Zhou touched his chin, puzzled.
"Professor, have you encountered any problem?" The teacher who came to visit and study next to him couldn't help but ask when he saw Professor Zhou's tangled face in front of a display board.
"No." He was just wondering why Professor Gu was suddenly so 'careful' to a junior.
Suddenly, Professor Zhou had a flash of inspiration.
"By the way, Professor Gu's daughter and Xiao Sheng are very close?"
Hearing this, the teacher nodded: "Yes, we often participate in competitions together."
"Haha, then I understand."
"What do you understand?"
Professor Zhou smiled but did not answer, and sighed to himself: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, haha."
"By the way, when you go back, you can let Xiaosheng participate more in the project at hand, but if you need to run out, try not to arrange it."
Facing the teacher's doubtful eyes, Professor Zhou did not explain, but secretly thought: If it does happen in the future, he has to prepare a big red envelope!
—
Back at school, Sheng Xiuyan clearly felt that his research content was much more.
However, as the boyfriend of the 'internship' period, Sheng Xiuyan still did not miss any opportunity to brush his presence.
"Who are you?" Gu Xi raised her eyebrows when she saw the person sitting next to her.
"Take a class." Sheng Xiuyan said seriously.
If it weren't for the smile that he couldn't hide on his face at the moment, Gu Xi would have almost believed what this man said.
Although electronic technology and information technology are two directions, they are in the same academy, and Sheng Xiuyan is considered to be half of the academy, and occasionally comes to take classes.
Therefore, the people in the classroom were not surprised when they saw Sheng Xiuyan.
Gu Xi, on the other hand, glanced at Sheng Xiuyan thoughtfully.
Under Gu Xi's gaze, Sheng Xiuyan calmly took out a microeconomics book to make up the numbers.
At this moment, the front door of the classroom was pushed open, and the person who came was not the teacher of this class, but Gu Shao.
Seeing Gu Shao, the students below were surprised at first, and then burst into cheers.
"Professor Gu, are you here to substitute for Teacher Wang?" Someone asked in surprise.
How famous is Gu Shao in the industry? It is no exaggeration to say that many students choose this major for Gu Shao.
It's a pity that Gu Shao's courses in University A are very few, and they are generally not for undergraduate students. The only elective course is also highly competitive, and it can be sold out in less than 3 seconds.
Therefore, being able to take a class of Professor Gu at this time, even if it is a substitute class, is a huge surprise for them!
"Mr. Wang went out to study and investigate, and I will temporarily take over this class." Gu Shaoyan explained concisely.
After all, Gu Shao glanced around the classroom, and very keenly saw the redundant existence next to his daughter in the back row.
Gu Shao's face was cold: "I'm about to start the class, but if you go to the wrong classroom, you can go to your own classroom now."
Meeting Gu Shao's meaningful and directional gaze, Sheng Xiuyan bit his head and didn't move.
In Gu Shao's eyes, Sheng Xiuyan sat upright for a few minutes, but at an angle that the other party couldn't see, the hand under the desk quietly held Gu Xi's hand.
Feeling the nervousness of Sheng Xiuyan pretending to be calm, Gu Xi tried very hard to hold back her smile.
Mainly because he was afraid of being seen by Gu Shao in front of him and misunderstood.
Gu Xi glanced at Sheng Xiuyan, and then peeked at Gu Shao in front of her: How does she feel that Gu Shao's eyes when looking at Sheng Xiuyan are more er... stricter than before
…
A class finally ended in a tense and serious atmosphere.
After class, when he left the classroom, Gu Shao looked at Sheng Xiuyan and said, "You don't seem to have this class."
Sheng Xiuyan froze and explained: "Our teacher said that the content of this course is helpful for the research of the subject, and suggested that I come and listen."
In the distance, Professor Zhou, who was working diligently in his office, sneezed: He never said that, he doesn't take the blame!
"Really?" Gu Shao raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing Sheng Xiuyan's words at all.
"Then go and report to your teacher what you have learned in class." After that, Gu Shao took Gu Xi and prepared to leave, and before leaving, he gave Sheng Xiuyan a warning look.
Sheng Xiuyan understood and consciously said to the father and daughter, "Goodbye."
At this moment, Gu Chenyi and Gu Yanxiao also walked over from not far away, and it seemed that they had just finished class and were about to go home.
The two walked over, first called Gu Shao, and then looked at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.
"Are you going to Xixi's class again?" Gu Chenyi asked.
A 'again' word successfully made Gu Shao black.
However, Gu Chenyi pulled Sheng Xiuyan as if he didn't notice it, and said, "You have no class later, let's go, let's go to our house for dinner."
Gu Yanxiao also echoed next to him: "Just in time, grandpa Shen and grandpa went fishing together today, and it is estimated that they are also at our house at this time."
Gu Shao glanced at his eldest nephew, with a sullen face, took Gu Xi and left, leaving the three of them with different expressions.
Gu Chenyi: "Why do I feel a little cold? The sky has changed?"
Gu Yanxiao: "It's a bit..."
—
In the evening, Sheng Xiuyan still invited Gu Yanxiao and Mr. Gu on the phone to go to the Gu family for dinner.
Since there was no winner in the daytime fishing, after dinner, the two old men quarreled again, and finally decided to compete in chess.
"Go and bring my chess, I have to convince this old man to lose today!" Old Man Gu said with a dissatisfied face, then glanced at Old Man Shen contemptuously, and said, "You think I can beat you at Go, Wrong, I still beat you in chess."
If there is no reason to fight, these two will not stop, and Gu Xi has known this very deeply over the years.
So, hearing the old man's words, Gu Xi stood up without hesitation: "I'll go get it."
Sheng Xiuyan also stood up behind Gu Xi: "I'll go get it for her."
Hearing this, Old Man Gu nodded indifferently, and warned again: "The chessboard is on the top shelf in the middle of the storage room. It's a bit high, so be careful when you take it."
—
The storage room of the Gu family is not small, but it has been stuffed unknowingly over the years.
Fortunately, the position of chess is prominent enough.
Gu Xi quickly found the chess equipment on a pile of things on the shelf. Gu Xi walked over and was about to tiptoe to get it. Before Gu Xi could get it, Sheng Xiuyan had already taken the things down one step ahead of her.
"Is there anything else?" Sheng Xiuyan asked.
Gu Xi shook the contents of the box in Sheng Xiuyan's hand and said, "It should be all there." There should be chess pieces in it.
"Let's go." Gu Xi turned around, but met Sheng Xiuyan's eyes.
Both of them caught a momentary cramp from the other's eyes.
Sensing Sheng Xiuyan's approach, Gu Xi's breathing stagnated a little.
However, in the next second, Gu Xi couldn't help but break the skill and laughed lightly.
"Aren't we like junior high school students secretly falling in love?" Gu Xi asked amusingly.
"Then I regret it."
"Ok?"
"If I had reacted earlier at that time, I could have done a lot of things secretly."
At least not so nervous now. Sheng Xiuyan silently added a sentence in his heart.
"Don't you want to say that when you were in junior high school..." You fell in love with her
"It's possible." Sheng Xiuyan's voice was a little low.
Immediately, Sheng Xiu Yanxin lowered his head and kissed Gu Xi gently.
At this moment, both of them were stunned.
When facing someone you like, you can't hide your nervousness.
Even though Sheng Xiuyan tried his best to show his composure, he could still feel the other party's nervousness.
Due to being too close, Gu Xi could even clearly hear the very irregular heartbeat of the other party. And her own.
- Fortunately, when she came in, Gu Xi thought that she was going to go out soon, so she didn't turn on the light.
Otherwise, her face is flushed, and she will die of shame.
Gu Xi thought to himself.
Coincidentally, Sheng Xiuyan thought so too.
The ghost knows how nervous he is now: the clasped palms are all sweaty.
Originally it was just a shallow kiss, but the two of them were reluctant to part.
Just then, the half-closed door was pushed open.
"Have you got it? Grandpa doesn't want to play chess anymore, he wants to play with Grandpa Shen..."
"Fuck, you guys!"
