Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Gu Dong Guquan of the Gu Group is middle-aged and still maintains a good figure. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes have not damaged his handsome face at all, and the heroic appearance of his youth can be vaguely seen.
No wonder Qiao Liang, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family at that time, had a crush on him, not because he didn't want to marry.
Chu Man was led into Gu's house by Gu Yao, and Wang Jia, who was sitting on the sofa and playing with a tablet, glanced over, full of gloating.
She can't control this man who is used to buying people's hearts, but Gu Quan is different, he is much stronger than her.
Gu Yao didn't plan to bring Chu Man to confront his father head-on, but his father put the newspaper in his hand on the coffee table, and his cold eyes swept over him, and said indifferently, "Don't you know how to call someone when you come back?"
The two children were not close to him, Gu Quan asked casually, but the one who was led by the eldest son called out obediently: "Hello, Uncle."
After the words fell, the living room fell into silence. Chu Man rubbed his fingertips, thinking embarrassingly, is it bad to be polite?
Gu Quan stroked the slightly wrinkled corner of his clothes, and said calmly, "Well, come and sit."
Only then did Gu Yao stop Chu Man, wondering: "Dad, Man Man just got off the plane and is too tired. I'll take him back to his room to rest, and you can talk later."
Wang Jia snorted coldly and didn't give her son any face: "I went to Sanya for a week's vacation, so it shouldn't be very relaxing to come back. Your dad comes back so rarely, so why don't you come to accompany him."
With shrewd and calculating eyes, Wang Jia looked at Gu Ye, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and said sarcastically, "It's the same for Xiao Ye, he hasn't called Dad since he came back."
Gu Quan blocked back in a nonchalant manner: "The pre-sale of Zhong Xia's new jewelry will start in 10 minutes. Go back to your room and watch over it."
When Wang Jia was reminded of this incident, he rushed upstairs with his mobile phone and tablet.
After dismissing those who like to make troubles, Gu Quan continued: "Xiao Yao, if the cooperation with PG cannot be negotiated, you need to stop the loss in time and find other ways. Xiao Ye just finished the exam, and Dad brought some new models. The handmade model is upstairs in the study, get it yourself."
In a few words, the remaining two were dismissed. Although the two brothers of the Gu family were united in a tacit understanding and stood by Chu Man's side at this moment, they did not expect that the person they were guarding would calmly let them leave obediently.
In the huge living room, only the head of the Gu family and Chu Man, the temporary guest, were left. Gu Quan spread his palms and pointed to the opposite sofa with his fingertips together, signaling him to sit down.
Chu Man sat down gracefully, thanked her, and a servant brought freshly brewed tea and soft pastries.
Gu Quan held up the celadon tea bowl and took a sip of the strong tea. His movements were very standard and gentlemanly, not like the self-cultivation that a grassroots person can acquire, but more like a habit developed after a long period of sex.
"Are you wondering why my tea-tasting action is so standard?" Gu Quan, who is known as the old fox in the shopping mall, is also top-notch in observing words and expressions. He can guess the other party's mind just by raising his eyelids and glancing at the target. idea.
Without giving the young man a chance to answer, Gu Quan said to himself: "My wife is very well-bred. Under her influence, it is not difficult to learn these things."
Hearing these words, Chu Man automatically substituted Wang Jia's image of a shrew into it. He had a strong sense of disobedience, and he had to recognize a frightening fact—the wife in Gu Quan's words, or the wife he was missing at the moment, It was the deceased Qiao Liang, Gu Ye's biological mother.
Before he had time to digest the meaning of this shocking sentence and its possible extended meaning, Gu Quan's next sentence made Chu Man's heart rise to his throat.
"Mr. Chu, you have changed a lot recently. In the past, you never took the initiative to say hello to me, and you seldom called my uncle." Gu Quan took off his gold-rimmed glasses that were stained with tea mist, and wiped them slowly, "And I Now I am very doubtful, do you still love my unworthy eldest son Gu Yao?"
Pinching his palms with his fingertips, Chu Man maintained a calm smile on his face, played Tai Chi calmly with the old fox in front of him, and even deliberately called him uncle again.
"Uncle Gu, no matter how naughty and ignorant a child is, there will be a day when he grows up. Of course, I should abide by the minimum courtesy to you."
He continued to answer Gu Quan's second question with ease: "Love is a very mysterious thing. I don't know where Uncle Gu deduced that I don't love Gu Yao. I only know that at this moment he is still our The one that is extremely important in the future plan.”
This is absolutely true, he hasn't taken revenge on Gu Yao for the original owner, and hasn't escaped from the Gu family that made the original owner feel suffocated, then Gu Yao will not be removed from his plan.
The eyes with sharp scrutiny swept across the extremely calm young man in front of him inch by inch, even though he was as cunning as Gu Yao, he didn't find the slightest flaw or abnormality.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?It is normal for young lovers to have some temper tantrums and conflicts.
But in this way, his subsequent lobbying work will not be easy to carry out.
"Mr. Chu, I am very grateful for what you have done for Xiaoyao and their mother and son in the past, and I am willing to repay you a hundred times, but I hope you can let Gu Yao take the initiative to walk out of your future plans." Gu Quan was not arrogant, but said this with great determination. sentence.
"If it's just a relationship, I've never objected to it for a long time, but the news of your engagement will undoubtedly hit Gu's hard."
He is a businessman, so he will naturally use the way of a businessman to dispel the occasional overzealous and naive thoughts of young people.For example, at this moment, Chu Man looked at Gu's recent financial statements lined up in front of him and the statistical conversion of his contributions over the years, and felt very funny.
He did laugh, too.
"Uncle Gu, are you used to exchanging your feelings so materially?" Chu Man stretched out her fingertips and touched the string of compensation amount that was enough to make many people smack their tongues, and said with a chuckle, "No wonder romance comes first Aunt Qiao didn't fall in love with you until she died."
The extremely light and inconceivable words caused Gu Quan, who had been sitting calmly on the sofa until now, to stand up suddenly, and his reddened eagle eyes firmly grasped Chu Man, like a ferocious beast whose scales had been touched.
"Chu Man, you really...make Uncle look at you with admiration."
After finishing talking with Gu Quan, Chu Man went to find Gu Ye first.
The unlocked door opened with a slight push, and Chu Man walked into the room lightly. What he saw was a young man with his back turned to him, concentrating on making a handmade model.
It is a very futuristic sci-fi penthouse, and the materials are almost all in cool colors. It should have been dismantled not long ago, but because the person who made it is very skilled, the most important base part has been completed at this time.
Chu Man stood by the door quietly admiring it for a while, and walked to the table before Gu Ye found him.
"Finished?" The young man who seldom asked anything actively put down the model materials in his hand, turned around and raised his head, staring at him very seriously for a moment.
Chu Man touched his soft and slightly curled hair, nodded and said that the talk was over, and the result was not bad.
When he said that, Gu Ye scanned every inch of his expression as if examining him. This familiar feeling of examining made Chu Man think of Gu Quan, and it really was the father and son.
But they are different, Gu Quan's scrutiny is with undisguised sharpness, while Gu Ye's scrutiny hides secret and careful concerns.
After confirming that the man was not being made things difficult by someone Gu, Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the model making in his hand.
Chu Man stayed quietly with him for a while, and before leaving, she remembered something and asked, "Xiaoye, you took a lot of pictures of Sanya's scenery, can you send me some?"
Although he had a lot of fun during the trip to Sanya, he seemed to forget to take pictures a lot of the time, thinking about using it for the next comic.
But Gu Ye should have taken a lot of photos, so you can take a look.
Gu Ye, who was concentrating on building the foundation of the wall, trembled slightly with his nimble fingertips, and almost wanted to collapse that piece. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'll find it later and send it to my brother."
Chu Man, who had no doubt about him, nodded, thinking of Gu Yao who was waiting for him in the next room, he had a headache.
He felt that Gu Yao would definitely not let him go easily, and would definitely interrogate him based on the content of the conversation.
But who would have thought that this conversation would lead Chu Man to discover such a big secret, which was not mentioned in the original book, where the real heart of the people in charge of the Gu family belonged.
After the return of Gu Quan and Wang Jia, the situation of the three members of the Gu family, which was originally peaceful and stable, showed faint signs of breaking down. Fortunately, Chu Man was invited to participate in the one-month training event held by the official comics website during that time, so he escaped. initial break-in period.
The official comic website is headquartered in Xicheng, and the one-month training is also held in Xicheng.After the training list was announced, Chu Man immediately received a WeChat message from one of his enthusiastic readers.
The avatar is still that boring abs pattern, Yan Chengyun seems to fall in love with this split chat.
[Big brother, what a coincidence, I live in Xicheng! /position/】
At that time, Chu Man, who was rushing to update, almost ruined the storyboard that he had just made, and he replied dumbfounded: [Wow, it’s really a coincidence QvQ]
[Then do you need help booking a hotel?Or live in my house?My house is very spacious, it is in this style~/photo/photo/photo/photo/photo]
Five high-definition photos piled up in front of him, and Chu Man had to admit that rich people's villas are moats.
And Mr. Yan is obviously a very tasteful rich man, with a low-key luxury and a scholarly atmosphere.
【Waiting for you to come over. 】
Another piece of news broke into the raging chat, Yan Chengyun switched back to his tuba, and extended an invitation very solemnly.
Chu Man covered his face, feeling genuinely touched while being funny.
After the plane arrived in Xicheng, the first face he saw was not the staff sent by the headquarters, but the still handsome face of Mr. Yan.
"Welcome to West City, student Chu." The man with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker was valiant. His height and long legs made him stand out from the crowd, and he stood out from the crowd.
Chu Man stepped forward a few steps, slapped him with raised palms, blinked and said with a smile, "Thank you, my dear reader friend, Mr. Yan."
During the one-month training, Yan Chengyun took him to visit the various scenic spots in Xicheng in his spare time, established a deep friendship with donkeys, and at the same time completed a very important thing for Chu Man.
Thanks to Teacher Yan, he bought a property in Xicheng at a relatively low price. Although he spent all his savings, Chu Man was still very happy.
After he leaves Nancheng, he will move here to live.
He didn't hide this matter from Yan Chengyun, and the clever teacher Yan also vaguely guessed something, and of course he supported Chu Man unconditionally.
"Next time you go to a good place like Sanya, remember to make an appointment with me." Before boarding the plane, Yan Chengyun said with a smile, "Also, I look forward to the day you move to Xicheng as soon as possible."
Chu Man let go of the suitcase, stepped forward and hugged Teacher Xia Yan loosely, and promised, "Yes, see you next time."
Returning to Gu's residence again, everything tends to be calm.
Gu Yao is busy solving the mess caused by the PG Group's refusal to cooperate with them, so there is no need for Chu Man to spend extra effort to deal with him for the time being.
Gu Ye was concentrating on his studies. Of course, Chu Man guessed that he should still be planning something with Fanqing. After all, the time when he officially rose and took control of the Gu family was getting closer and closer.
As for Wang Jia, except for her venomous mouth, she is no different from an ordinary lady at other times. Her daily routine consists of shopping, beauty care, and playing mahjong with her familiar little sisters.
When Gu Quan was around, she probably couldn't be a demon.
And what about Gu Quan?
Chu Man found that since the conversation that day, the other party's attitude towards him had become completely indifferent, no, maybe he had treated the original owner like this before.
Although the relationship between him and Gu Yao has not changed in the eyes of the outside world, and they are even closer than before, but this old Mr. Gu keeps fighting with the Yao family on his own, as if he is sure about the final outcome. .
Even though Gu Yao reiterated in front of him more than once that he would only marry Chu Man in this life.
Every time at this time, Chu Man would always think, maybe Mr. Gu has seen through him, and he is not expected to be with this formerly scumbag man.
After all, he understands better than anyone else that some injuries, even if they are temporary, will last a lifetime.
As the second semester of the second year of high school was approaching the end, Gu Ye's class teacher had to take maternity leave early because of the discomfort in the late pregnancy, and couldn't find a suitable teacher to substitute for him.
Going around, Chu Man was particularly puzzled as to why they would find him. Gu Ye explained to him solemnly: "The head teacher asked me why I made so much progress last semester, and I said it was because my brother taught well."
His clear and sincere eyes stared straight at Chu Man, as if to say that I didn't recommend my brother on purpose.
Chu Man was somewhat hesitant. Although he has a teaching qualification certificate and is relatively free recently, is it really okay to teach second-year students?Can Xiaoye and his class teacher trust him?
Gu Ye, who was sitting at the desk and writing the test paper seriously, put down his pen and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree if you find it difficult. We have finished learning all the new knowledge and are now in the review stage. It's not a big problem if we don't have a teacher to substitute for the class."
Chu Man took a sip of the watermelon juice, biting the paper straw lightly with his teeth, leaving a circle of small, cute teeth marks.
He thought how could there be no teacher to substitute for the transition period from the second year of high school to the third year of high school?What if the children's thoughts fluctuate at the end of the semester and affect the status of high school admission?
Thinking of this, Chu Man responded with an inflated sense of responsibility: "Okay, I'm fine, if your head teacher and the school don't worry about me."
Gu Ye showed a cute smile at the right time: "The class teacher said that he will come to handover with my brother this weekend, and at the same time test and test my brother. I believe my brother will be fine."
Chu Man snorted, and couldn't help poking the straight bridge of the boy's nose with the tip of his cold index finger, thinking that every time he asked for something from me, his small mouth was very sweet, and he praised his brother to the sky.
Cough, well, in fact, the number of times I called my brother in the past six months is quite frequent.
Gu Ye, who was poked on the bridge of the nose, was not annoyed at all, but asked curiously: "Watermelon juice seems to be very sweet. I can smell the sweet and greasy fragrance from my brother's fingertips. Is there any extra?"
Chu Man withdrew his index finger and sniffed it. It should have been accidentally touched while squeezing the juice, and it was a bit sweet.
"I want to drink it~" He deliberately sucked the bright red watermelon juice heavily, and his plump and soft lips were covered with a layer of bright red juice, "There is nothing extra, everything is in brother's cup, shout 'Good brother' give you a taste."
A person in Chu who is changing day by day learns to amuse the future all-powerful genius Mr. Gu without a teacher.
After all, it was hard to turn the withdrawn boy half a year ago into the obedient boy he is now, it's hard not to tease him.
Harmful, maybe this is the fun of raising cubs 【狗头】.
Gu Ye looked at him quietly, and before Chu Man felt guilty, he showed a bright smile of a good boy: "Okay, good brother."
Chu Man just wanted to take out the straw from the cup and hand it to him to drink from the cup. Unexpectedly, Gu Ye moved quickly. He leaned over and bit the straw he had gnawed badly, and took a big gulp.
Chu Man:!I was frightened!
Holding the little watermelon juice left, he completely missed the point: "Why did you drink so much in one gulp!"
Gu Ye helplessly raised his forehead, this guy, shouldn't the focus be on why he bit his straw?
The heartbroken foodie Chu wandered into the kitchen with a cup in his hand, turned his grief and anger into motivation, and squeezed another full cup for himself.
Gu Ye leaned against the kitchen door and reminded with a smile in his eyes: "Drink less, watermelon is cold, and you are not in good health."
Chu Man silently said "I want you widowed" from the bottom of my heart, then cut a slice of watermelon and stuffed it into the juicer.
Gu Ye shook his head and laughed, sometimes little friend Chu is so naive and cute.
Chu Man became famous on the first day when he took over as the head teacher of class 2 (2) in senior high school. The whole second grade knew that there was a beautiful head teacher in class [-], with super good looks and super gentle personality.
Song Chi was so excited that he felt as if he had been beaten up. He was no longer sleepy in class, he didn't sleep between classes, and he did his homework seriously. He wanted to ask Chu Man all the homework questions he had dug out from everywhere.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Song Chi, so the teachers who share the same office with Chu Man are dumbfounded to find that Teacher Chu's desk is full of people every time between classes.
Teacher Gao, who was bald on the top of his head, touched his fat but handsome face, and said with emotion: "Hey, is my old Gao not handsome enough? Why don't students come to ask me questions?"
Teacher Zhang, who was sitting opposite him, held out a mirror, and said with a piercing heart: "Old Gao, people, we still need to recognize the reality."
Teacher Gao said he was injured.
All in all, Chu Man's arrival not only brought freshness and relaxation to the students who were struggling with the end of the semester, but also to the teachers who were worried about teaching.After all, it is very pleasant to see beautiful women every day.
Of course, except for Gu Ye who is in a complicated mood.
I originally thought that encouraging my brother to take over as a substitute teacher would not only increase the time they meet and get along with each other, but also allow my brother to temporarily get rid of the repressed Gu family, but I didn't expect my brother to be so popular.
Gu Ye twirled the black pen at his fingertips, forcibly suppressing the paranoid madness in his heart.
He kept hinting to himself that he should be proud of his brother's popularity.But the more he thought about it, the redder his eyes became.
Until Chu Man came over and patted him on the shoulder, or called him to eat together, or reminded him to go home together at night, only in this way could he temporarily calm down.
Gu Ye thought he might be sick, and Chu Man might be the only medicine.
"Great, the mission is complete! We... woo woo woo, we really succeeded!"
The cheers of tears of joy came from the headset, Jiang Bei let out a sigh of relief, and leaned heavily against the dirty wall, the violent heartbeat reminded him that he was still alive.
This extremely dangerous task was finally completed, at the sacrifice of countless teammates.
The old wall was covered with mottled debris, covering Jiang Bei's body. The end of his nose was an unpleasant smell mixed with gunpowder smoke, blood and mildew, but it seemed that he could vaguely taste it from this unpleasant smell. the sweetness of life.
He survived.
The camouflage uniform on his body has been baptized by gunfire and blood for a long time, and the original color can no longer be seen. A knife wound across his chest was simply wrapped with a bandage, and at this moment there are faint cracked blood.
Jiang Bei moved his legs, and his military boots dragged across the scorched ground, leaving a whitish mark. He took out a well-preserved peace talisman from the lining pocket close to his chest amidst the counting sounds of other teammates. .
He held the clean and small peace talisman between his two fingers. No matter how carefully he kept it, those corners and corners could not avoid the bad luck of curly hair at this moment.
Jiang Bei stood up, bowed his head, endured the tearing pain of the knife wound on his chest, and placed a very light and precious kiss on the safety talisman.
No one knows what kind of encouragement and hope this peace talisman that the man secretly stuffed into his pocket brought him on the battlefield, even the person who sent it himself couldn't imagine it.
"Wait for me." The hoarse voice was full of tenderness. When the person in charge of this mission called Jiang Bei's name in the headset for the seventh time, Jiang Bei opened his mouth.
The person in charge instinctively felt that such a gentle tone should not be for those big bosses.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Mr. Jiang, the non-staff special agent of their mission, say to him: "Captain, can you help me book a ticket to Nancheng as soon as possible?"
The last final exam in the second year of high school was invigilated by Chu Man. He stood on the podium bored and scanned the entire exam room with all his heart.
This summer is very sweltering, but fortunately, it has rained intermittently in recent days, and the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees after the rain.
Chu Man pinched his forearm, which had grown a lot of flesh recently, and thought that the health regimen during this period was quite successful.
"Ms. Chu, come out." The grade teacher, Mrs. Ma, stood at the door of the classroom and waved to him.
Chu Man glanced at the kids in the classroom and made sure that every student answered the questions seriously before walking towards Director Ma.
"What's the matter, Director Ma?"
"Ah, it's like this. The principal said that a tall and big gentleman came to you and asked you to go there quickly." Director Ma rubbed his beer belly and said naively, "Go quickly, I will invigilate the exam for you."
On the way to the principal's office, Chu Man was still wondering who would come to the school to find him?Could it be Gu Yao?But hasn't he been so busy recently?
After all the candidates were eliminated one by one, the impossible name became more and more prominent. In the end, Chu Man rushed into the office almost like the wind, and faced Jiang Bei who turned around from a distance.
It was the first time the headmaster saw the always calm teacher Chu showing such a childish side, he almost cried and laughed and gave a big hug to the tall mysterious man, staring at him up and down.
The headmaster coughed lightly, and said gently, "I have to pick up my granddaughter, you guys chat here."
Chu Man blushed and thanked him repeatedly. After the principal left, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Jiang, did you suffer any serious injuries this time?"
His intuition told him that it was dangerous for Jiang Bei to go out this time, and he could even smell the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood when he hugged him.
Fortunately, he returned safely.
Jiang Bei said he was fine, and asked him about his next plan.
Chu Man blinked, as if asking him why he would ask such a question.
Jiang Bei raised his hand, rubbed the soft hair that felt like before, bent slightly and whispered in his ear: "You bought real estate in Xicheng, so what are your plans?"
Chu Man did not expect that the first thing Jiang Bei would do when he came back was to inquire about his recent situation, otherwise he would not have known about his substitute teaching at the High School Affiliated to Nancheng University so soon.
"Brother Jiang, I told you before you left that I would like to ask you for a favor." Chu Man also lowered her voice and whispered into his bent ear, "I plan to leave the Gu family, and when... the Gu family changes when."
The warm and leisurely summer vacation came as scheduled in the expectation of the students, except for the quasi-senior high school students who were suffering.
Facing the scorching sun, the sophomore students who are going to be senior three need to move books and other sundries from the sophomore teaching building to the senior three teaching building. Chu Man just wanted to reach out to help a female classmate move the books, but the other student jumped away .
The girl pushed the stack of books in the crook of her arm with her knees, and said solemnly: "Mr. Chu, I can do it. Go and rest in the shade. Do you want some water? I still have a bottle in my schoolbag." Unpacked mineral water."
The other students who passed by echoed: "Yes, Teacher Chu, the sun is very strong today, it's strange, don't run up and down with us."
The students took the initiative to take care of their precious teacher Chu. After getting along with each other for this period of time, they have already figured out the teacher's weak nature and arrogant temperament.
For example, at the flag-raising ceremony one week before the final exam, the other party stood upright, but suddenly passed out straight and straight, which frightened the teachers and students in the surrounding circle. Fortunately, the final inspection result showed that it was only heatstroke.
Such an examination is terrible. Other data given by the school doctor showed that Teacher Chu is not in good health and cannot be tired, so the sensible students who really like Teacher Chu spontaneously established the "Chu Protecting Alliance" to protect their uniqueness in the world. Teacher Chu.
It was just like this at this moment, Chu Man was moved by the cubs' thoughtfulness, but also a little dumbfounded.
How could it be that exaggerated, he was just helping to move the books, and he wouldn't get tired.
"Then the teacher will buy drinks for you. Just tell me what you want to drink. The teacher treats you today."
The students rushed to report the name of the drink, Chu Man wrote it down one by one with a smile, and finally heard a male voice say: "Mr. Chu, after you buy it, remember to ask the supermarket owner to borrow the trolley. You must not drink it by yourself. Bring it over!"
Chu Man scolded with a smile: "Teacher is so weak!"
The students laughed in good faith when they heard the words, conveying the affection of teachers and students warmly.
Chu Man bought drinks at the supermarket, after paying the bill, after thinking about it, she decided to ask the boss to borrow the trolley.
The boss said wait a moment, went to the warehouse to look for it, but couldn't find it, and said embarrassedly when he came out: "Sorry, it seems that the small cart has been taken to buy goods, why don't I help you move to the senior three teaching building. "
Only the boss was in the supermarket at this time, and Chu Man was too embarrassed to bother him, so he planned to move by himself.
As soon as he bent down, two forearms protruded from his side, and he lifted the box of drinks firmly and hugged it to his chest.
Chu Man looked sideways, and made eye contact with the sweaty young man.
Gu Ye wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, he was still out of breath after he hurried over, and his chest was still heaving violently.
A drop of sweat was about to fall into the reddened corner of the eye, Chu Man subconsciously stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and touched the red and hot corner of the boy's eye, the sudden throbbing seemed to hit his heart directly.
"You...why did you come with me, have you finished moving the books?" Chu Man picked up the remaining bottles of water in the convenience bag, and followed Gu Ye's pace, "Is it heavy, will it be easier for me to carry it? "
Gu Ye walked in front of him, stopped and waited for him when he heard the words, and said: "I'm done moving, don't worry about you, come and have a look."
He avoided the hand extended by the man, "It's not heavy, I can do it."
"Oh." Chu Man withdrew his hand a little disappointed, the corners of his mouth slightly turned down, hey, he's not that vain.
Gu Ye glanced at him, sighed in his heart, and said again: "Brother, help me wipe off my sweat, I can't move my hands."
Suddenly being needed, Chu Man's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his whole body brightened up.
After distributing the drinks, Chu Man asked the students to clean up the messy books on the floor and on the table first, and be careful not to trip over others. Everyone laughed and thanked Teacher Chu for the drinks, and quickly packed up their own things.
Chu Man sat down on the podium, unscrewed his thermos cup and took a sip of health-preserving tea.
Once before, I drank too much watermelon juice, and I had diarrhea for three days. I was extremely weak, and now I have restrained myself a lot.
The podium is the best place to observe the whole classroom, and it can be said that there are many small mountains at a glance. Chu Man was holding his cup and looking at his classmates kindly, when he saw a girl with two ponytails holding a drink and her face blushing, walking timidly. Gu Ye's side.
The melon-eating radar was quickly turned on, and Chu Man thought that indeed, Xiao Yeye, who is handsome and has made rapid academic progress, is indeed very popular.
Twin Ponytails seemed unable to unscrew the cap of the beverage bottle, so I asked classmate Gu to help me.
Although this excuse is very old-fashioned, but it is really young and innocent, Chu Man held his face and began to reminisce about his youthful years.
Gu Ye raised his head from between the books, and secretly glanced at the man on the balcony. The man on the balcony looked mysterious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the girl, and said, "Do you just need to twist the bottle cap?"
The girl with two ponytails turned pale. It didn't feel good to have her heart punctured, but maybe she should be thankful that this always indifferent student Gu didn't say anything outrageous in front of the whole class.
"Well, you just need to twist the bottle cap." She lowered her head, suppressing the moisture welling up in her eyes, and put an end to her unrequited crush.
Gu Ye took the drink in her hand and unscrewed the bottle cap, and said softly when handing it back: "Thank you, but I already have someone I like."
The girl with two ponytails didn't hold back at all. Although she cried and returned to her seat, a big rock in her heart was completely let go.
Rather than being angry and sad, she was more grateful for the other party's decisive refusal, and the secret thoughts that had entangled her entire sophomore year finally came to an end.No matter what the result is, she has no regrets.
Chu Man, who watched this scene silently, praised the brave girl with two ponytails in her heart. Unfortunately, the person Xiao Yeye would like was the protagonist Shou who met on the university campus a year later.
"Mr. Chu, I don't understand a few questions, so I want to ask."
He was just about to relive the beautiful campus love suffered by the protagonist in the original book, when one of the parties came over holding an exercise book.
Chu Man trembled in fright, feeling inexplicably guilty of being caught.
Gu Ye lowered his voice very keenly and asked: "What is brother thinking so preoccupied?"
Chu Man waved his hands, and said righteously: "The teacher is thinking about your education problems! Come on, let the teacher see what problems you have."
Gu Ye restrained the urge to snore someone's hair, suppressed a smile and handed out his homework.
Sometimes he really wanted to get into his brother's mind and see what weird things he was thinking.
Day after day, time flies, and with Jiang Bei's professional guidance and help, Chu Man's plan to escape is becoming more and more perfect.
During this period, many big and small things happened around him.
For example, Mrs. Gu got into big trouble.Since the cooperation with PG broke down, because they couldn't find another suitable partner, a project they invested heavily in before was terminated. All the previous efforts for this were in vain, and it also damaged the foundation of Gu's Group.
Although the damage was not serious enough to shake the foundations, it was a frightening foreshadowing.
The following Gu family not only ran into obstacles everywhere in the field they were trying to open up, but even their old line of business - the people's livelihood business was also hit hard.
A series of unfavorable reports such as unqualified product quality inspections, frequent user accidents, scandals in the top management, etc. put Gu's into a situation where the enemy was on the front and back, and almost wanted to eat up this male lion in his prime.
Gu Yao not only had to deal with the panicked shareholders and appease the masses demanding compensation, but also deal with inspections and inquiries from the corresponding departments.
Chu Man once stood at the door of the room one night, watching Gu Yao in the study irritably making phone calls one after another, trying to seize even the slightest chance of finding help.
This scene is very similar to the description in the original book that Gu Yao was cornered by Gu Ye and asked for help but was helpless. In fact, Chu Man suspected that he had already waited for this scene—a lot earlier than the original book.
He pressed the door frame, and after Gu Yao threw away the phone angrily, he said softly, "Gu Yao, is there anything I can do for you?"
Gu Yao, who was in a fit of anger, was just about to swear a few words, but when he realized whose voice it was, he froze instantly.
He walked to Chu Man's side dejectedly, bent down and hugged the gentle man in his arms, his words could not hide his exhaustion and fragility: "Manman, I'm so tired, you let me hug you, charging is the biggest thing. help."
His manman doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't need to understand anything, as long as he does what he likes and draws what he likes, that's enough.
Chu Man hesitated to put his hand on the man's back, and gave her a hug back. It seemed to be full of warmth, but her eyes were cold.
"Gu Yao, when you have nothing, you might as well look at what else is around you. Smart people are good at making use of everything to make a comeback."
He repeated to Gu Yao verbatim what Xu Zhien said in the original book, touching the confusion in his eyes, Chu Man reminded: "You still have Xu Zhien as a friend."
Gu Yao heard him mention the name, and smiled bitterly: "Old Xu is very principled, he won't help me this time."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Chu Man murmured in his ear.
Yes, of course Xu Zhi'en would not help Gu Yao, he knew this better than Gu Yao, but this did not prevent him from responding to these two people.
It made Gu Yao feel the pain of being abandoned by his close friends in a desperate situation, and made Xu Zhien feel the dilemma of choosing principles and integrity or friendship.
Can this make the original owner a little happier?
But it's not enough.
Chu Man hugged Gu Yao's head buried in his chest, combed the slightly messy hair of the other party again and again, and whispered: "I will always be by your side, I will help you, you still have I."
Bai Yuanhao and his buddies went out to have fun all night, but in the cold autumn and rain, he caught a cold and developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
He is the only one who lives in the bachelor apartment he rented. His parents have gone abroad on business and have not come back yet.The hunk was vulnerable, facing a long list of address books, he didn't know who to call.
Bai Yuanhao hummed uncomfortably, his throat was very dry and swollen, his head hurt, and his eyes hurt, probably swollen into walnuts.
He squinted his eyes and flipped through the address book, saw a familiar number, and dialed it straight away.
After the call was dialed, a gentle male voice rang simultaneously: "Hello, Bai Yuanhao, what's the matter?"
