Gu Qingzhou was slightly puzzled.

Simu's recent performance, plus what he said before, seemed to imply that he likes her a little.

That's magic.

A person is used to seeing Wei Qingjia's beauty, how can he like a young girl like Gu Qingzhou?

Except for Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei's taste has always been abnormal.

Besides, Si Xingpei didn't like Gu Qingzhou because of her appearance, but because she saved his life for the first time, and he treated her differently from then on.

Why is that Simu?

Because Gu Qingzhou cured him?

This is even more incredible.

"Talk to him tomorrow." Gu Qingzhou thought.

If you misunderstand, it will be a little embarrassing; if there is no misunderstanding, you will take the opportunity to blackmail Mrs. Si with Gu Qingzhou, and tell Si Mu if she promises that she will quit her relatives this winter.

There is no need for him to be emotionally involved, and sooner or later he will retire.

It has become a must for Gu Qingzhou to go out to socialize on weekends.

"...The commander-in-chief may not be willing to help. I want to see the old lady. Can I persuade the old lady to intercede?" Gu Qingzhou said to Gu Guizhang.

Therefore, Gu Guizhang would not stop her from going in and out.

After breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock. Gu Qingzhou called the driver, Lao Li, and asked him to drive him to the company's office.

There is a pear tree at the entrance of the company's mansion, with sloping branches resting beside it.

Gu Qingzhou knocked on the door.

The old lady is in a good mood these two days. She is playing mahjong with her daughter-in-law and granddaughters. She is even more happy to see Gu Qingzhou coming.

"Two magpies landed on the window lattice this morning, and I said there was something good. It turned out that Qingzhou was coming!" The old lady was happy and asked Gu Qingzhou to sit next to her and help her look at the cards.

When Gu Qingzhou saw this, the old lady didn't know that Gu Qingzhou was coming.

What invitation was made by Simu. He wanted to bring Gu Qingzhou to see the old lady.

Gu Qingzhou must talk to him.

If he continues like this, it is not good for himself and Gu Qingzhou, and even annoys Si Xingpei.

After about five minutes, Simu arrived.

The weather is sunny today, Gu Qingzhou changed into a moon-white mid-sleeve slanted cardigan and an emerald green skirt, just like a thin spring dress, and Simu also took off his cloak.

He was wearing a gray vest, striped trousers of the same color, and a snow-colored shirt with rolled up sleeves, revealing strong arms, and the obsidian buttons on the cuffs glowed warmly.

His temples are neat, his eyes are deep, and he walked in against the sun, with a bright warm golden color on his body.

Si Mu and Si Xingpei are different. Si Mu, whether in temperament or appearance, has a bit of pampering and bright, unlike Si Xingpei, who is beautiful and luxurious on the outside, but dark and complicated on the inside.

"Mu'er is here too, the two of you must have an appointment!" The old lady was even happier.

Simu said: "Yes, I haven't come to see my grandmother for a long time."

He looked like a matter of course, there was no embarrassment that the lie was exposed, and he didn't want to explain.

"I know you are all filial children." The old lady smiled, "You sit down too."

The second wife had already got up and gave up her seat to Gu Qingzhou. She went down and ordered lunch.

Simu sat at the corner of the table between the old lady and Gu Qingzhou, looking at the old lady's card from time to time, and then at Gu Qingzhou's card.

Gu Qingzhou's poor math skills does not mean that she is not good at mental arithmetic. On the contrary, she is very good at mental arithmetic and memory, and she remembers everything she has played at the poker table.

Every time the old lady lacks a card, Gu Qingzhou will let it go.

Simu couldn't help but smile.

It made the old lady happier.

After lunch, the old lady was a little tired and wanted to go to sleep for a while.

"You two go to the movies first, then come back for dinner, then go back after dinner." The old lady yawned.

Gu Qingzhou and Simudao are.

The two of them left the company's mansion, their shadows were shortened by the noon sun, and their bodies were warm.

Gu Qingzhou said, "Let's find a secluded coffee shop and talk to us, okay?"

Simu nodded: "Yes."

He never objected to anything.

He drove, and Gu Qingzhou sat in the back seat.

Simu didn't plan to chat with her halfway through. Compared with Gu Qingzhou, Simu was a little reserved. He had something to talk to Gu Qingzhou and made a draft in his mind.

He chose a secluded corner of the coffee shop to sit down, Gu Qingzhou's seat was by the window, the sun was shining warmly in, and a white rose on the table was open and fragrant. The water in the transparent glass bottle was penetrated by the sunlight, and a small faint rainbow fell on the table.

Si Mu held the bone china coffee cup, and his slender fingers rubbed back and forth along the pattern of the golden peony on the coffee cup, without opening his mouth or looking after Qingzhou.

"Young commander, I have something to ask you." Gu Qingzhou said her question straight to the point.

She broke the silence, which was a little easier for Sim.

He said, "You ask."

He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Do you like me a little?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Simu's sip of coffee immediately stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down. A little mellow, but also a little sweet, with a little bit of coffee bitterness.

A mix of flavors, complex infiltrates his taste buds.

Sim seemed to be trying very hard to swallow the coffee, and there was a mellow fragrance between his lips and teeth.

"Why do you ask that?" Simu asked her back.

Gu Qingzhou explained his understanding to him one by one.

She sat down with her back to the window. In the backlit place, her face was a little dim. Instead, her long hair had a light ink-colored brilliance, which set off her eyes, and her eyes were extraordinarily clear.

"...If you don't like me a little, or you don't have any plans." Gu Qingzhou said, "I can actually pretend to be stupid and accept your kindness to me, but it's unfair to you, I want to ask clearly ."

Simu heard a signal from her words.

She wanted to reject him.

If he said he liked her, she would definitely refuse. So she doesn't pretend to be stupid and doesn't accept his pursuit.

Simu admired her so neat and tidy. Gu Qingzhou doesn't play with him, she is a responsible girl, she has the wisdom and heart of a man.

"You misunderstood." Simu said.

He denied it, not wanting to block the road.

He and Gu Qingzhou are the dolls who have been married since childhood. They are obviously a pair favored by God. It is impossible to end up with resignation. He needs to leave a way out.

He didn't want to hear her refusal.

"...My mother doesn't hesitate to frame us. She wants me to have more contact with you. I thought that you wouldn't hate having multiple friends, but I didn't expect it to cause trouble for you." Si Mu said.

Gu Qingzhou's cheeks were slightly red.

When she was embarrassed, her throat tightened, and she was really self-indulgent.

It's better to ask clearly than to be confused. Gu Qingzhou's answer to Sim was relieved.

"I'm sorry, it's shameful for me to have such a misunderstanding." Gu Qingzhou laughed at himself.

"No, I didn't make it clear." Si Mu said.

Gu Qingzhou buried his head in drinking coffee.

After the cup of coffee was finished, she didn't say a word again.

Simu put down the coffee cup, pondered for a long time and asked her, "If I would like to understand and try to like you, would you be willing to respond?"

When he said this, the top of his heart trembled slightly, but he couldn't see the slightest on his face.

"I won't!" Gu Qingzhou said, "I hope my husband has only loved me from beginning to end."

Sim felt a spoonful of cold water and poured it down.

She was very concerned about his past with Wei Qingjia.

He once fell in love with Wei Qingjia, and everyone in Yuecheng remembered it. He couldn't simply say that he would forget it and make Gu Qingzhou forget it too.

What can't be forgotten, even when they are in their seventies and eighties, someone will mention it.

Wei Qingjia is too eye-catching, and Simu is the son of a powerful person. A romantic story is the talk of everyone after dinner.

"...Besides, when I arrived in Yuecheng, I asked Mrs. to admit my identity. It was conditional. I promised her that I would retire from my relatives in two years. Even in this winter month, I will not make a blunder. "Gu Qingzhou said.

She wanted to explain that it wasn't that she didn't like Simu, but that she didn't deserve him.

But this hypocritical comfort is of no use.

In Simu's view, she was the one who talked about his ex-girlfriend and rejected his favor.

Any comforting words from Gu Qingzhou are meaningless to Simu.

"So that's the case." Si Muliang spoke for a long time, his voice as cold as ice.

He started, Gu Qingzhou refused, and Simu's heart closed.

He only has a very ignorant affection for Gu Qingzhou, but it has not developed to the point of love. He thought they would get married, so he tried to nurture.

Besides, he met Wei Qingjia and found that his former love had long since been far away. He was a little lonely in his heart and wanted the comfort of another love, so he had a slight affection for Gu Qingzhou.

This kind of goodwill is very weak and will soon dissipate.

He was very grateful to Gu Qingzhou for breaking things down and making it clear.

Although he is not happy.

When returning to the company's mansion, Simu left early on the pretext that the military government had something to do.

Gu Qingzhou smiled, the old lady naturally didn't know what happened to them, she just thought that Simu was really busy.

After having dinner at the company's mansion, Gu Qingzhou took the car home.

When passing by the entrance of a movie theater, I found that the spotlight almost illuminated the entire night sky.

"Who is this filming?" Gu Qingzhou wondered, "The reporters are so hard?"

Before she could see clearly, the car drove away.

Gu Qingzhou was a little curious, looked back a few times, and vaguely saw a figure of Pingting walking slowly on the red carpet. Gu Qingzhou didn't know who it was.

"Maybe it's a female movie star?" Gu Qingzhou thought.

After chatting with Simu, Gu Qingzhou never saw Simu again for a long time.

It's almost the end of March.

In the quiz in March, Gu Qingzhou's grades were very good. She was eleventh in the class, and she was in the middle class in arithmetic. It should not be a problem for her to graduate. Gu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

These days were not in vain.

The end of the quiz is on Thursday, and the school has a day off. Together with the weekend, it is three days off.

"I'll take you to Nanjing to play, my new house is about to be ready, I'll take you to see it!" Yan Luoshui said happily.

Gu Qingzhou and Huo Zuojing couldn't bear to brush off her kindness and agreed.

When they walked out, someone suddenly called Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Gu Qingzhou?"

The voice was very unfamiliar, and Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised.

She turned back and saw a face that was both unfamiliar and slightly familiar.
