Chi Nuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and after the freeze, Gu Ningzi's face appeared in the center of the screen.
"… "
"… "
"Auntie Gu! It's Auntie Gu!" Xiao Wutong rubbed up excitedly, and Chi Nuan in the video window was replaced by a wide open mouth without front teeth.
"Auntie Gu, I wish you good health and all your wishes come true!" Xiao Wutong said, covering her mouth and running away with a smile.
Chi Nuan's face reappeared in the video. She smiled at Gu Ningzi, Gu Ningzi's eyes, Gu Ningzi's lips... There seemed to be claws scratching in her heart: "Hi..."
Gu Ningzi: "Hi."
Gu Ningzi's voice was a little hoarse, and Chi Nuan said nervously: "...Are you not feeling well? Or haven't you rested yet?"
Gu Ningzi: "The jet lag can't come back."
In my impression, Gu Ningzi didn't seem to be troubled by jet lag when she returned to Yuncheng last time? Chi Nuan couldn't think of a reliable method, so she said in distress, "What should I do? Will reading to you help?"
The video clocked forward one second at a time, Gu Ningzi lowered her head slightly, and when she raised it again, a faint smile had already climbed up the corners of her eyes and lips.
She didn't smile strongly, but Chi Nuan was still amazed, and her cheeks slowly turned red in her absence.
Gu Ningzi: "You can try."
Chi Nuan: "Okay..."
Soon, Gu Ningzi ended the video for work reasons, and Chi Nuan fell on the sofa, blindfolded.
Near noon the next day, Chi Nuan, who had calculated the jet lag, took the initiative to message Gu Ningzi: "Did you sleep?"
Gu Ningzi: "No."
Chi Nuan: "Do you listen to the story?"
After sending these five words, Chi Nuan stared at the screen without blinking, and Gu Ningzi's reply was to dial the voice call directly.
Chi Nuan said happily, "Which one do you want to hear?"
She read the name of the story to the catalog, and Gu Ningzi said, "Start from the beginning."
Chi Nuan finished reading "The Frog Prince" in a soft voice, the phone was silent and did not ring, Chi Nuan probed: "Gu Ningzi?"
Gu Ningzi said slowly: "Go ahead."
Chi Nuan turned a page and finished reading the second story. Before she could speak, Gu Ningzi said, "Next."
"..." Chi Nuan continued to turn back.
Xiao Wutong lay on the side and listened with relish, until the fifth story "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats" was finished, Chi Nuan pricked up his ears again to listen to the voice over the phone.
Xiao Wutong leaned into Chi Nuan's ear: "Mom, the big bad wolf is good or bad, it tricked the lamb into its stomach."
Chi Nuan pressed the other ear of the phone, and Gu Ningzi let out a chuckle.
"...Is it useless? Still can't sleep?" Chi Nuan was disappointed that she couldn't help Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi: "I haven't slept yet, I'm outside."
Chi Nuan: "…"
? ? So why let her read the story? ?
Gu Ningzi seemed to be able to guess what Chi Nuan was thinking, and if there was a seemingly non-existent laughter: "You have a nice voice."
The ears continued to heat up, and in an instant, the cheeks also burned red.
The next morning, He Zhen sent a message: "I ordered flowers for you, Happy Birthday~~"
Chi Nuan immediately said, "Thank you."
He Zhen: "Don't forget to thank BOSS, [wink]"
The florist and Chi Nuan determined the time to send the flowers. At noon, the flowers arrived. Xiao Wutong was struggling to hold the bouquet: "Mom... Mom, this is so... big!"
Chi Nuan took out the card inside and signed it "Spider".
Yingguang took a card and passed it to Gu Ningzi: "Thank you BOSS for the flower, I like it very much."
Gu Ningzi gave her a screenshot of the flight information.
! ! !
Chi Nuan looked and looked, and confirmed repeatedly that Gu Ningzi had scheduled a flight back to Yuncheng in a week.
Nothing could make her happier than Gu Ningzi's coming back. This is the birthday present she wants more than an oversized bouquet of flowers.
From the beginning of the day, Chi Nuan was counting down the countdown, but who knew that He Zhen said that the BOSS originally scheduled flight was canceled, Chi Nuan asked her if the new time was confirmed, He Zhen said: "She has a temporary private itinerary, said No, if you return to Yuncheng, you should be notified in advance."
The short winter vacation ended in a blink of an eye. On the first day of school, Chi Nuan received a call from Xiao Pan on the way to send Xiao Wutong to school.
Xiao Pan is still staying in that school for an internship this semester. For the reason of wanting to get along well with other teachers, he invites everyone to dinner.
"Sister Chi, although you don't come to work anymore, but I've been at school for so long, you've always been the one who takes care of me the most..."
Chi Nuan knew that other teachers in the office would also go to this meal, but when Xiao Pan spoke up, she couldn't refuse her.
Dinner was set at a high-end restaurant not far from the primary school. Chi Nuan took the elevator up, and Xiao Wutong's nursery teacher Zhao suddenly contacted her: "Mother Chi Zheng, did you ask a friend to pick up Chi Zheng today? "
The signal in the elevator was not very good, so Chi Nuan hurriedly said, "Is Chi Zheng still there? Mr. Zhao, I didn't ask anyone to pick up Chi Zheng for me."
As he spoke, he pressed the nearest floor button and squeezed out of the elevator.
"It's still there," Teacher Zhao said repeatedly, "I heard Chi Zheng call her Auntie Gu."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Teacher Zhao: "Wait a minute..."
After a few seconds.
"It's me." Teacher Zhao's voice in the receiver changed to Gu Ningzi.
Chi Nuan saw herself reflected on the elevator door, and she looked stupid because she was hit by a huge surprise.
"You're back..." she said.
Gu Ningzi: "Well."
"Then I'll..." Chi Nuan wanted to say that I'd go there right away, but when she looked around, she was stunned: "...there is a dinner tonight. It was the teacher from the original school who invited me to dinner."
Gu Ningzi: "Listen to Xiao Wutong. You don't need to rush over."
The mobile phone was passed to Teacher Zhao again, and Teacher Zhao said, "Mother Chi Zheng, then let your friend take Chi Zheng away?"
Chi Nuan: "Okay, trouble Teacher Zhao."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Nuan was still full of emotions and felt unreal. She entered the box reserved by Xiao Pan and saw familiar faces before she regained her composure.
Although it didn't arrive at the time that Xiao Pan and her made an appointment, because everyone else came directly after get off work, they arrived early, and a table of people was waiting for her.
"Sorry, I'm late." Chi Nuan said to Xiao Pan.
"It's not too late." Xiao Pan happily led her to the seat reserved in advance, but Wang Lili said, "Alas, our busy person has finally arrived."
This kind of joke was said by Wang Lili, and it added a bit of provocation for no reason. Chi Nuan didn't bother with her, smiled at Xiao Pan who was embarrassed, and sat down.
Wang Lili took a sip of her drink with no interest.
At the banquet, they talked about school, complained about colleagues in other groups, and asked when Xiao Pan brought her boyfriend over to show everyone... Chi Nuan was just absent-minded.
Gu Ningzi sent a small video. In the video, Xiao Wutong was digging for desserts and said vaguely: "… When my mother came to pick me up early when she had time, she often brought me to eat,… There are roasted sweet potatoes and fried chestnuts in the cold weather. It's ice cream when it's hot... It's all delicious, I like my mother the most."
Chi Nuan watched it outside the box and asked Gu Ningzi, "Is he good?"
Gu Ningzi replied, "I seem to have heard similar words somewhere."
… it was me, I told you. When I was as big as Xiao Wutong, my brother also spoiled me like this.
Gu Ningzi, during the years you were absent, my brother was gone. … Will your lost memories come back
A new message popped out, this time it was a voice, Xiao Wutong's voice: "Mom, where are you? Aunt Gu and I will pick you up later."
After dinner, the others switched to singing K. Everyone went downstairs together, Chi Nuan didn't participate, Xiao Pan said, "Sister Chi, I'm already very happy that you can come to dinner. You have to take the children, so go home quickly."
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Ningzi had already arrived. Xiao Wutong was lying on the rear window. Seeing Chi Nuan's face, she immediately raised her neck and said excitedly, "Mom! Mom, we are here!"
Chi Nuan said "goodbye" to everyone, opened the door of the co-pilot, and said to Gu Ningzi, "I'm driving here and parked in front."
Gu Ningzi looked at her sideways: "Come up."
Chi Nuan: "Okay."
The rear window glass was raised, and Xiao Wutong obediently fastened her seat belt.
Chi Nuan: "Assistant He didn't say when you'll be back. I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."
The car drove away from this area, Gu Ningzi smiled, "You really love your work."
miss you. Chi Nuan didn't speak, and Xiao Wutong asked her in the back seat, "Mom, do you know the lighthouse jellyfish?"
"My classmates told me that they don't grow old or die. Isn't it amazing?"
It was also the first time that Chi Nuan heard that, after searching on the mobile phone, he explained the principle of the immortality of the lighthouse jellyfish to Xiao Wutong.
"Auntie Gu told me the same." Xiao Wutong's voice became smaller: "If only we humans could do this..."
Chi Nuan looked over, Xiao Wutong lowered her head and pinched her trousers.
The mobile phone information beeps sounded one after another.
Wang Lili: "Seriously, are you really being fostered by Mr. Ji?"
Wang Lili: "With this capital, what else do you need to do? Spend more time trying to please Mr. Ji. Even if you can't straighten up, you can make a fortune while you are young."
Wang Lili: "How much salary can you earn when you work hard as a teacher? Being a third child also has a bad reputation, but that's okay. In today's society, isn't it all about laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes!"
Chi Nuan held the phone and took a deep breath in anger. Gu Ningzi noticed her strangeness and glanced at her.
"Wang Lili, you like to spread rumors and make trouble so much, you must be very tired." Chi Nuan entered this message, sent it, and then directly blocked Wang Lili.
There are so many things in this world that need her to spend her energy, and she can no longer waste time on a person who is full of malice towards herself.
After calming down, Chi Nuan turned back to comfort Xiao Wutong: "When mother has time, I'll take you to the aquarium to see jellyfish, okay?"
Xiao Wutong: "Mom."
Chi Nuan: "Huh?"
Xiao Wutong: "Aunt Gu also said to take me to see the jellyfish, let's go with the three of us."
Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi, the light and shadow changed, Gu Ningzi's profile driving the car completely coincided with the memory. It seems that there is no difference in the past six years, and they have not experienced hardships. Chi Nuan endured the sourness of her nose and tried her best to smile: "Okay."
