Xu Xu said "hmm" and was about to go out.
When Gu Lin saw this, he didn't care about anything else. When he saw a maid coming out, he gave the things in his hand to the maid and shamelessly followed Xu Xu out.
Xu Xu frowned and glanced sideways at him, "Follow me, what are you doing?"
Gu Lin coughed slightly and made an excuse for himself rather bluntly, "I don't trust you."
Xu Xu lowered her eyes. Although she knew that he just wanted to find an excuse to follow her, she did not expose him.
The two of them walked quietly on the street, and there was still snow falling in the sky. Probably because it was New Year's Eve, and the streets were full of lanterns and colorful lights.
However, the street was quite deserted at the moment, the wind was rustling, and no one was seen.
Gu Lin looked at Xu Xu standing beside him, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Xu Xu, are you cold?"
Xu Xu still said calmly: "It's not cold."
Gu Lin was disappointed and had no choice but to say nothing.
But it was a coincidence that when Xu Xu was buying red candles, he happened to run into Li Yu. He also came to buy things. Xu Xu stepped forward and said hello to him.
Gu Lin was watching beside him at that time. He looked at Xu Xu, who had been cold and indifferent to him just now, but now he was talking and laughing with another man. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. .
Gu Lin's brows furrowed more and more. After he paid the bill, he took the initiative to walk up to Xu Xu and said, "Xuxu, the purchase is done, let's go home."
With such a tone, he clearly regarded himself as Xu Xu's husband, but he still wanted to tell Li Yu.
After Li Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Gu Lin, and said with a smile, "Xuxu, is this Xiao Lanbao's father?"
Gu Lin frowned. He really didn't have much confidence. He was not sure whether Xu Xu, who hated him so much, would give him face in front of outsiders...
But what he didn't expect was that the next moment, Xu Xu softly said "hmm".
In front of Li Yu, he admitted his identity.
Gu Lin was no longer as dissatisfied as before, his face became a little brighter, and his eyes looking at Li Yu softened a lot.
After Li Yu and Xu Xu exchanged New Year greetings, they said goodbye and left. However, Xu Xu noticed something strange that what Li Yu came to buy didn't seem to be a red candle...
Just when she was confused, the shopkeeper sighed and said: "Your friend came to buy a white candle..."
Buying white candles during the Chinese New Year is probably not a good thing even the store owner can tell.
When Xu Xu heard this, he was also slightly stunned.
I didn't expect that what Li Yu said before was really something, and it probably wouldn't be a good thing...
But Li Yu didn't tell her what it was, probably because he didn't want her to know. Therefore, even though Xu Xu felt quite uncomfortable, she didn't really chase after Li Yu.
She respects Li Yu, and she won't force him to tell him things he doesn't want her to know.
After finishing shopping, Xu Xu went to buy something else with Gu Lin. Gu Lin always took the initiative to help her carry things and wouldn't let her take anything.
On the way back, Xu Xu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Gu Lin's cuffs, which seemed to be scratched by something. Xu Xu didn't even think about it, so he subconsciously grabbed his cuffs and whispered: "This place... is broken."
