Ning Li had heard it mentioned before that the second master of the Gu family had twin sons, presumably they were the two in front of her.
She hadn't seen the two children before, but they recognized her.
"How did you recognize me?" Ning Li asked.
Gu Siqi smiled with his eyes bent.
"Sister Ari looks the same as in the photo!"
"photo?"
Ning Li was surprised.
Her picture, how did they see—
Gu Sicheng nodded:
"Yeah! Dad—"
Gu Siqi gave him a hand and picked up the conversation.
"Father said that grandma saved several photos of Sister Ali!"
Gu Sicheng coughed:
"Yep!"
Mrs. Gu
Ning Li's heart moved slightly.
Gu Siqi continued:
"It seems that brother Siyang sent it to grandma."
Ning Li understood.
It should be the last time she went to Gu Siyang's house for dinner and took a photo with their family of three.
"So it is"
Gu Sicheng asked curiously:
"Sister Ah Li, didn't you go to school in the capital? Why did you come to Haicheng?"
Ning Li smiled and explained:
"I'm here for a meeting, and I'll be back in two days."
Both boys nodded in unison, expressing their understanding.
"We are here for a study tour organized by the school, and we will return to Hong Kong City when it is over."
A voice came from behind: "Ning Li?"
Ning Li turned her head.
After several fellow seniors walked a certain distance, they realized that Ning Li hadn't followed, so they turned around and called her.
"We should go!"
"Here we come."
Ning Li responded, and looked at the two boys in front of her again.
"It's nice to see you all today, but I'm leaving, so go back too, have fun."
Both Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng were a little bit reluctant.
At this time, Shen Zhijin who was walking in front also heard something and looked back.
He saw Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng.
Gu Sicheng raised his head unintentionally, saw him too, and couldn't help but said:
"Hey, isn't that Fourth Aunt—"
He remembered something and swallowed the rest of the words.
Gu Siqi followed suit and did not speak.
At this time, their teacher seemed to be telling them to go back.
Ning Li leaned over slightly.
"Okay, it's time for you to go back, let's see you next time."
Gu Siqi and Gu Siyang agreed in unison.
"Goodbye, Sister Ari."
Ning Li nodded.
The two boys turned and left.
However, just after taking a few steps, Gu Sicheng ran back again.
"Sister Ali."
He looked at Ning Li with a hesitant look on his face, then glanced at Shen Zhijin behind him, then gently pulled Ning Li's sleeve, and whispered:
"Help me and brother, and say hello to fourth uncle."
Ning Li was taken aback.
Gu Sicheng didn't wait for her to answer, and went back after saying this.
He ran to Gu Siqi's side, two little heads together, said something, Gu Siqi nodded.
They returned to the line and soon turned into another road.
Ning Li pursed her lips and turned to follow.
Several teachers also noticed the situation here and laughed and joked.
"Ning Li, do you know those two children?"
Ning Li's gaze involuntarily swept across Shen Zhijin's face.
His expression was as calm and calm as ever.
She nodded:
"It's a kid from a friend's house."
Everyone understood, but didn't care too much, and continued to move forward.
Ning Li glanced at Shen Zhijin's back and sighed softly in her heart.
The afternoon meeting was held in Huada Institute of Physics and Technology.
The teachers and students who participated in the meeting are all outstanding representatives of the two colleges of physics.
Apart from Shen Zhijin, Ning Li is the one who attracts the most attention from Xijing University.
After a meeting, it was already past six in the afternoon.
During the two-day meeting, all board and lodging arrangements are made in a unified manner.
Ning Li and the others went to Huada's staff cafeteria together.
Several teachers recognized Shen Zhijin and came over to say hello.
After dinner, Tang Yu let Ning Li and the others go about freely.
"It's rare to come to Huada, you can go around. But don't be too late, pay attention to safety."
Ning Li thought about it, and went to buy another bottle of yogurt, drinking it quietly in the corner of the cafeteria, swiping her phone from time to time.
After a while, someone came over.
"Aren't you going back to the hotel yet?"
Ning Li looked up, and saw Shen Zhijin standing in front of her.
She looked behind him, Tang Yu and others were not there.
Shen Zhijin seemed to have guessed her question, and said quietly:
"They've gone downstairs."
Ning Li stood up.
"Teacher Shen."
Her gaze swept over Shen Zhijin's face.
"Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng asked me to say hello to you."
In the evening, Gu Siqi and his brothers returned to the hotel with the teacher leading the team.
The two of them lived in the same room, but instead of going back to their own room, they knocked on the door next door.
"Dad! Mom! We're back!"
— This study tour was organized by the school for students, and parents were not required to accompany them.
But Gu Tingchuan hadn't seen them for a long time, so he followed Yun Jingrou to accompany them.
Yun Jingrou was not in the house, but Gu Tingchuan was on the phone.
"Not one? How come there is not one!?"
"There were so many pictures at the auction before, and you couldn't buy any of them?"
"Lu Huaiyu? He bought the "Seventeenth Night" painting, right? What about the others?"
"Then go talk to Lu Huaiyu's assistant! Double! No triple!"
"What do you mean by that? Of course I know that kid from the Lu family is not short of money! What? Let me talk? If I can talk to him, what do you want!?"
"Look again! If you find it, buy it no matter what!"
Gu Tingchuan hung up the phone angrily.
I really don't know how these people do things!
"dad?"
Gu Siqi saw that he had finished beating, so he made a sound.
Gu Tingchuan turned his head, the expression on his face softened a little.
"Are you back? How was your shopping at Huada today?"
"Very good!" Gu Siqi said, "I also met Sister Ali!"
Gu Tingchuan was taken aback:
"who?"
Gu Sicheng also laughed, his eyes crooked:
"Sister A Li! It's the sister A Li in those photos saved in your mobile phone, Dad!"
Gu Tingchuan's face darkened instantly.
These two bastards saw those two photos while he was looking at his mobile phone while he was not paying attention, why are they still reading it now!
"Just remember this clearly!"
He endured it, and asked:
"What did she go to Huada for?"
"It seems to be for a meeting. There are several teachers and some classmates who should be sister Ari."
Gu Siqi said,
"She said she would return to the capital in two days."
Gu Tingchuan said "hmm".
The room fell silent.
The father and son stared at each other with wide eyes.
Gu Tingchuan frowned slowly.
"Then what?"
Gu Siqi shrugged: "Then—it's gone."
What else can there be then
Gu Sicheng's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything about meeting his fourth uncle.
Gu Tingchuan frowned even tighter:
"You didn't invite her to your house for dinner?"
