Tao Mo stretched his neck and looked out the door: "What's wrong?"
Gu She said displeasedly: "There are distracting thoughts in my heart."
"Oh." Tao Mo quickly retracted his gaze and sat upright.
"Show me what you have practiced these days."
Tao Mo showed all kinds of fingering according to his words.
Gu She said: "It's not right here."
He reached out from behind Tao Mo, grabbed Tao Mo's hand, and plucked the string: "That's it, try again."
As he spoke, he held Tao Mo's hand again.
Tao Mo felt that when Gu She held his hand, what he dialed out was very pleasant, even if it was just a single sound, it was also pleasant to hear, so he couldn't help but looked back at Gu She and smiled.
Gu She looked at him, their faces were extremely close, so close that they were almost touching.
"I will demonstrate, you will imitate."
Both of Gu She's hands circled up, the left hand pressed the string, and Tao Mo pressed it according to the law;
Gu She smiled and said, "It's right this time."
Talking about changing various fingerings, Tao Mo learned according to the law, which was more clear and easy to learn than watching them face to face. For an hour, Tao Mo's gains unexpectedly surpassed his own gains from more than a month of practice.
"That's all for today, don't practice by yourself in the future, there is no teacher watching, fingering is easy to make mistakes. I will teach you when you come tomorrow."
The last four words were said by Gu She looking at Tao Mo, and his breath gently sprayed to the earlobe, Tao Mo's face turned red inexplicably.
"What's wrong?"
Gu She looked at him with a thoughtful expression.
"No." Tao Mo didn't dare to raise his head, "There is a brazier in the room, it might be hot."
"Then let's go."
"..." Tao Mo didn't dare to move, only then did he realize that Gu She was kneeling behind him, and the action just now... Could it be that he was in his arms
Moreover, if you get up now, you will inevitably run into Gu She. If he remembers correctly, Gu She doesn't like to have physical contact with others. After he fell asleep last time, he held him in his arms for the first time. After he woke up, he sat up like a snake and scorpion. up to this point.
Gu She seemed to have discovered this, and stood up first. Seeing that he was up, Tao Mo quickly stood up too. Unexpectedly, after kneeling for a long time, his legs and feet became numb, Gu She was about to fall over, Tao Mo hurriedly reached out to help him, Gu She's warm face and lips brushed against Tao Mo's ears and neck, and landed on Tao Mo's shoulder .
Now Tao Mo completely turned into a boiled prawn, even his ears and neck were completely red.
Hao Guozi and Gu Xiaojia ran over to support the two of them, and Hao Guozi rubbed Tao Mo's legs for a while. Gu She didn't let Gu Xiaojia wait on her, and rubbed it herself.
Reluctantly able to leave, Tao Mo hurriedly left.
Gu She looked at Tao Mo's back, and didn't look back until Tao Mo disappeared into the darkness.
"Young master."
Gu Xiaojia hesitated to speak.
Gu She didn't seem to see or hear, got up and walked out by himself.
Gu Xiaojia turned off the light in the study, followed him with a lantern, and walked for a long time.
Finally mustered up the courage to call out again: "Master."
Gu She remained silent.
When they arrived at Gu She's bedroom, Gu Xiaojia lit the lampstand, opened the vent of the brazier, and added some charcoal.
Turning around, Gu She had already taken off her cloak, shoes and socks, and was just waiting to take a bath.
He stood on the ground, endured and endured, still couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Master, even if you punish me to sleep in the kitchen for the rest of my life, I will say it too!"
Gu She said coldly: "In that case, what are you waiting for me to do?"
Gu Xiaojia said: "The eldest son is dead. The son has two families. It is time to marry a wife and have children. Mr. Yichui thinks so much about the son that he wants to marry Miss Yang to the son and pass on the mantle to the son. Miss Yang is also passionate. How about the son? Are you teasing Tao Mo in every possible way today?"
Gu She looked at Gu Xiaojia suddenly, his eyes were as cold as a knife: "How do I tease Tao Mo? When did I say I want to marry my junior sister?"
Gu Xiaojia's chest heaved and heaved: "Young master, don't deceive yourself! When you were young, you learned the piano, and the gentleman sat side by side with you; you taught Tao Mo, but you intentionally put him in your arms. You talked to Tao Mo earlier, facing forward, In the end, he pointed at his earlobe intentionally. When he got up, the young master was holding a pillar by his hand, but the young master was going to help Tao Mo! The young master's face couldn't touch Tao Mo, but he turned his face on purpose!"
Gu She was expressionless.
Gu Xiaojia didn't wait for him to speak, so he went on to say: "Young master and Miss Yang, although they haven't made it clear, who doesn't think it's a firm deal in the past two years? Young master is empathizing with Tao Mo at this moment, how can I ask Miss Yang to deal with herself?"
Gu She frowned and said, "Have I ever empathized with Tao Mo?"
Gu Xiaojia asked back: "The young master is still willing to marry Miss Yang?"
Gu She didn't answer.
Gu Xiaojia tentatively said: "If you are still willing to marry Miss Yang, you should not provoke others, especially Tao Mo."
Gu She asked, "Who are you, Tao Mo?"
Gu Xiaojia's heart broke: "Tao Mo is not me! Although I am not as smart as the young master, I can see that Tao Mo is a gentleman with sincerity and the most dedicated kind of person. The young master teased him all kinds of things today. In the future, the young master and Miss Yang After getting married, wouldn't Tao Mo break his heart?"
Gu She looked at him suddenly, his gaze was like falling snow, but it made Gu Xiaojia sweat like rain.
Gu Xiaojia's courage just now disappeared without a trace due to the freezing of this gaze, and he couldn't help regretting his frankness just now.
He thought that Gu She would ignore him, but Gu She suddenly sighed desolately: "Where is the affection that does not make people heartbroken?"
Gu Xiaojia looked up at Gu She, and saw him sitting quietly under the lamp, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, he seemed affectionate or heartless.
Gu Xiaojia couldn't bear it: "Young Master, are you thinking of Eldest Young Master again?"
Gu She was silent.
Gu Xiaojia remembered that he had finished what he wanted to say, that Gu She was definitely not going to say a word now, so he said, "I'll go get you some hot water."
After taking two steps, I heard Gu She sighing behind me.
"As long as I'm not the one who broke the heart."
Gu Xiaojia turned around in a daze, but Gu She still had the same sitting posture and expression, as if what he said just now was not from him.
In fact, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Gu She saw Tao Mo, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
When I got home and received a post from Tao Mo, looking at the childish handwriting, I seemed to see that unsophisticated but extremely sincere person.
Hearing that Tao Mo had left, out of curiosity about this person, he went straight to the county government office. A figure against the light inside the county yamen made him look closely for a long time. It is obviously a completely unfamiliar figure, where does the familiar feeling like an old friend come from when we first meet
Tao Mo's closeness to him made Gu She feel that Tao Mo was seducing him. Is this Tao Mo a broken sleeve
Gu She left immediately, and when he returned to Gu's mansion, he felt it was funny again: Even if Tao Mo was a broken sleeve, even if he was seducing him, so what? there is always a solution to a problem.
Yang Mansion, Gu She responded to Yang Liuer's interaction, and wanted to see Tao Mo's reaction. If he is jealous, then he must be dead, and the county government was indeed seducing him when they met last time.
But Tao Mo was not only not jealous, he also showed joy when he saw him interacting with Yang Liuer. But Gu She was inexplicably annoyed, he was very conceited, because he had both an amazing appearance and an astonishing talent, men and women had always flocked to him, he couldn't accept that Tao Mo had teased him for so long, but in fact he loved him. He has no intention.
In front of Yang's mansion, what Tao Mo yelled to him, such as the person in the dream, made him suspect that Tao Mo was Tao Wuwen, and it was reasonable and reasonable. And if the scene where Tao Mo met him for the first time was replaced by Tao Wuwen and Lian Jian, everything would be logical. But after returning home, he opened the portrait of Tao Wuwen that Lianjian gave him, and he denied it again: it didn't look like it at all.
Then, why did Tao Mo shed tears when he saw him, and why did he say those inexplicable things in front of the Yang Mansion? Unless Tao Mo is a broken sleeve, the first time I saw him, I was taken by his demeanor. However, this point has long been overturned...
It was night, he tossed and turned, puzzled.
But the doubt didn't last until the second night, when he heard that Tao Mo was in danger in the Lu Mansion, he couldn't help but go to rescue him. Tao Mo was very drunk, he dragged and hugged Tao Mo out of the Lu residence. In fact, it can be hugged horizontally, but for some reason, he dare not. Before Lian Jian told him about Tao Wuwen, he never thought that Lian Jian would be a broken sleeve. Since then, he has also lost confidence in himself, and he dare not get too close to any man, for fear that he will also be a broken sleeve—after all they Is a twin brother.
Tao Mo was too thin, the feeling of being held in his arms seemed to be lost at any moment. He couldn't help but think how long such an unsophisticated person could survive in a place like Danyang with such poor health? Being forced to leave is a minor thing, and it is very possible to be tortured to death by the lawyers like the former magistrate Zhang.
After rescuing Tao Mo, he looked at the carriage occupied by the sprawling Tao Mo. If he wanted to get in the car, he would definitely have further physical contact with Tao Mo, but he didn't want to have physical contact with anyone, male or female. .
He resolutely decided to walk back.
That night, he thought, when Tao Mo came to him to thank him after he sobered up, he would give him proper advice. He thought of Tao Mo's eyes looking at him, either with tears or smiles, but no matter which one was so clean. This life is full of helplessness and filth, and he has not seen such clean eyes for a long time. Tao Mo took this official as a stumbling block, but he didn't want to see Tao Mo fail, for fear that he would be hit by setbacks, and then his eyes would not be clear.
The Luan brothers were fighting for property, so he couldn't help but point him out, and couldn't help but want to get closer to protect him.
Seeing Tao Mo come back from the hall, he found that his state was completely different, so he couldn't help being stunned. The Tao Mo I met before always had a melancholy look on his face. But Tao Mo, whom he met that day, was like a spring flower, full of hope and confidence.
On the carriage, Tao Mo's two bows shocked him, and it was so comfortable to be treated so sincerely by a person. He couldn't help but want Tao Mo to treat him like this forever.
So seeing Tao Mo again in the third year of junior high school, he intends to talk to Tao Mo. Last time in the Yang Mansion, he prevented Tao Mo from coming to Taiwan, and his brothers and sisters might bully Tao Mo. He wanted to put on a posture to let them see that the new county magistrate was covered by him.
He thought this was the limit of his relationship with Tao Mo: county magistrate and counselor. He would give advice to Tao Mo from time to time to help him keep this official in peace. Tao Mo, on the other hand, would rely on him and look at him with that kind of sincere eyes.
But he didn't expect Tao Mo to reveal his loneliness in the strings!
It has been cold in high places since ancient times. At his level of talent, loneliness is inevitable, so while he was shocked, he felt that Tao Mo might be using this rule to get close, and wanted to use him and let him help him secure his official position.
But he doesn't care, he's capable, he's smart enough. A heartless person like Tao Mo couldn't have the ability to harm him, at most he could help a few Luan brothers in their property dispute case. So he followed suit and invited Tao Mo to Gu's mansion, hoping to obtain a reason to be Tao Mo's protector for a long time through the way of teaching the piano.
Unexpectedly, Tao Mo could understand the half-painted painting, he thought Tao Mo should not be able to understand it. A person like Tao Mo, in his heart, is just a nerd who only knows how to study hard and is lucky enough to be the last Jinshi. He shouldn't have such a talent. When painting this painting, he was thinking of Tao Mo in his mind, so he drew it subconsciously. It wasn't until Tao Mo made it clear that he discovered his subconscious mind: he felt that Tao Mo had no heart and no background, and that in Danyang County, where there were many litigators, he was like a bird under a storm, in danger of breaking out at any time. He wanted to cover Tao Mo like a big bird.
Later, Gu Xiaojia's response confirmed that the painting was indeed understood by Tao Mo himself, and no one had ever pointed him to it.
Could it be that this nerd is actually his bosom friend who he has been looking for for 22 years? How could he understand him better than his twin brother
During the Lantern Festival, he intends to show off in front of Tao Mo. Seeing that Tao Mo's gaze was fixed on that colorful head, he couldn't help but want to send him off, want him to be satisfied, want to see his smile, and want to surprise him. Seeing him keep approaching him, being worshiped by him is even more satisfying than being worshiped by all the talents in the world. The way he looked at him was always so sincere, as if there was only him and him left in this world. This made Gu She feel comfortable.
However, his affection for Tao Mo lasted for only a few days, and the case of the Tong Yu family's daughter dispute made him extremely annoyed. Obviously he had already pointed out "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", why did Tao Mo still award the woman Tong Yingwu admired to Yu Ming as his wife
He thought that Tao Mo had done something against him, so he would not dare to come to see him. Unexpectedly, Tao Mo would come back, and he didn't think it was a disobedience to him, but happily waited for him to teach him the piano! What a foolish thing to do! For the first time, he hated Tao Mo's lack of heart, and he did not hide his anger in front of Tao Mo.
However, when Tao Mo left, he was moved by the wish that "if there is a lover, they should get married". Thinking of my parents, who used to be lovers, but in the end my mother was disappointed in my father and died in depression; I thought of my twin brother Lian Jian, who was obsessed with that boy named Tao Wuwen and lost his life for him. Love, what is it
In such a conflicted mood, he met Tao Mo who was running around in the streets and alleys to prevent fires. He was angry and deliberately tossed Tao Mo to make him go so far to buy siu mai. When Mu Chun was complaining, he even felt that Tao Mo and Mu Chun had left, which was a relief for him, Gu She.
However, Mu Chun's heart softened, and he actually asked Tao Mo to come with him. As soon as Tao Mo came, the topic naturally turned to fire prevention, and Tao Mo naturally asked for advice. I don't know what kind of considerations, he actually wanted to avoid it, he was afraid that he would be obsessed with his sincere gaze and was unwilling to break free.
But it was useless, Tao Mo looked over, and he couldn't bear to refuse at all.
For Tao Mo, he stayed up all night writing and drawing. He didn't know how long he hadn't stayed up all night.
What made him even more unexpected was that he could actually fall asleep with Tao Mo on his back! He had never trusted anyone like this before, he would lock the door at night when he slept, and even Gu Xiaojia couldn't enter, let alone who he was leaning on to fall asleep.
What's going on here? The son of Xianzhi, who has always been keen to help people solve puzzles, was confused for the first time.
But there was something else that puzzled him even more. Sitting with Mu Chun, Mu Chun showed intimacy with Tao Mo everywhere, and he felt annoyed!
Of course, when it comes to fire prevention, no matter how smart and knowledgeable Gu She is, Tao Mo is always the leader. Without Tao Mo, no matter how powerful Gu She was, he would not be able to use the power of the entire county to change the planning of the entire county. It was Tao Mo who proposed to do this, it was Tao Mo who asked him to help, it was Tao Mo who brought him, Mu Chun, Master Jin...all these people together. Of course, at the banquet, Tao Mo was the absolute master. The guest who is closer to the host is of course hated by other guests. He admits that no matter how smart he is, he is still a human being, and he also has shortcomings.
That's why when his aunt asked him what Mu Chun didn't get along with him, he suddenly realized: it turned out that Mu Chun was more intimate in front of Tao Mo.
Although he has more influence on Tao Mo, Tao Mo obviously trusts Mu Chun more, and Tao Mo doesn't seem to care more about Mu Chun's feelings towards him, but this just means: there is no need for these polite words to strengthen the relationship between them.
He didn't know that in Tao Mo's mind, since Mu Chun was Lian Jian's uncle and also his relative, he only thought that Tao Mo and Mu Chun hit it off at first sight.
Every time he wants to overwhelm Mu Chun in front of Tao Mo, he has no choice but to act like a teacher.
But he didn't want to be like this. He likes to chat with Tao Mo lightly. Tao Mo is always so sincere to people. Every time he talks, he will look at him without taking his eyes off him, as if he is just listening to him without doing anything. Talking by himself, as if his whole life was only himself.
In terms of friendship, he can't compare to Mu Chun, this is something that frustrates him. He felt that Mu Chun was confronting him tit for tat, but in the final analysis, it was Mu Chun and Tao Mo who showed a more intimate and trusting feeling than he and Tao Mo.
Mu Chun, the majestic leader of the Demon Cult, can actually be Tao Mo's housekeeper, can have an exclusive room in the county government office, can hug Tao Mo whenever he wants, and the two of them whisper with their foreheads against their foreheads.
What kind of feeling can rival such a feeling
In this world, the only thing that is closer and stronger than friendship is the love of a lover.
And Tao Mo obviously didn't have such feelings for him. He was intimate with Yang Liuer, and Tao Mo was happy for him; when he fell asleep, Tao Mo held him in his arms without any suspicion.
And he himself has always planned to marry Yang Liuer as his wife. Although he also has many dissatisfaction with Yang Liuer, since he doesn't plan to return to the capital, Yang Liuer is undoubtedly the most outstanding woman in Danyang. Regardless of appearance, talent, or even character, they are all the best.
Then, just sit and watch Tao Mo think, is he ranked after Mu Chun
On a deserted spring moon night, Gu She stood alone for a good night. In the end, I just want to understand one thing: no matter whether Tao Mo has intentions for him or not, he cannot tolerate being passive in his relationship, so it is safest to take the initiative to make Tao Mo fall in love with him. As for who he would choose in the future, Yang Liuer or Tao Mo? It doesn't matter anymore. There is always someone who will be sad, but it will never be him who cares about himself. My aunt said it well, people still have to be selfish.
That's why Gu Xiaojia called "all kinds of teasing", which is why it's hard for him to fall asleep now.
Will the teasing tonight be effective
