Chapter 44 The humble young master

Chapter 44 The humble young master

Sheng Xun always remembered the scene when he first met Gu Mengchen.

It was not long after he entered the first year of high school, and it was an afternoon in early autumn. He had just finished dinner and was walking towards the teaching building.

There were several students in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention until one of them walked to the piano on the right side of the hall on the first floor of the teaching building and sat down in front of the window.

It was the day before the school's welcome party, and someone put a piano there. The person sat down and tried the piano, playing a piece of music that Shengxun had never heard before.

Among the crowd, Sheng Xun turned his head and looked over inadvertently, his steps froze, and he did not regain consciousness for a long time.

He was wearing a white shirt, and the light was tilted on his face. His peach blossom eyes were clear, his thin lips were slightly raised, and he turned to give him a bright smile.

Later, Shengxun knew that he was not smiling at him at that time, but he would always remember his smile.

That smile on that face.

That night he tossed and turned, his warm and bright smile filling his mind. He had already made up his mind to inquire about this person, but he didn't expect to see him again at the welcome party the next day.

He was one of the hosts of the welcome party that year.

From the mouths of the two girls in the front row, he learned that his name was Gu Mengchen, that he was a sophomore in high school and was in the student union.

He chased him into the student union and found out that he loved to wear white clothes and always wore white on days when the school did not require uniforms.

He is good at classical dance, and he said he will go to the best dance academy in the future.

There was always a different aroma on him, but neither frivolous nor sweet, elegant and steady. He was addicted to this aroma, and later he learned that it was a citrus fragrance with oak bitterness as the base.

He said he liked the smell, like...

He didn't say anything, but he also liked the taste.

He fell in love with Gu Mengchen. Later, after he was rejected by Gu Mengchen, he still couldn't forget his white shirt, his classical dance, and his scent of orange moss. This became a symbol of his love for him.

What did he hear at this time?

Gu Mengchen likes to wear white shirts because the person he likes, Xi Qinghe, likes white.

The reason why Gu Mengchen dances classical dance so well is because his favorite Xi Qinghe once praised classical dance as beautiful.

Is it the same flavor he likes? He said he liked the smell, like... like Xi Qinghe?

So what does his love for so many years mean?

So what are the characteristics that he has remembered and liked for so many years?

Sheng Xun stood there soullessly, as if he had been struck by five thunders, and a certain part of the world collapsed into pieces.

It was particularly quiet at this moment.

For some reason there was no sound outside the door. The next second, the door was opened by Xi Qinghe. He looked at Su Qingyu and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Sheng Xun's loud roar.

"Gu Mengchen, do you like Xi Qinghe?! Have you liked him for ten years?"

The voice was louder than when he and Jiang Chu were arguing, and it came from red eyes.

People not far away were looking here. Hua Shuming, who had just come out of the warehouse, glanced in surprise and hurriedly pulled Xia Hongyu over.

I was startled when I saw Shengxun's appearance from close up. His face was red and white, and he looked hideous and terrifying.

Gu Mengchen glanced at Xi Qinghe and said, "Yes, I like him."

Hua Shuming didn't react. He stood behind the jar furtively and asked Xia Hongyu: "Who? Who does he like?"

Finally able to say it, Xia Hongyu looked at him with a complicated expression, "Your uncle, Gu Mengchen has liked your uncle for many years."

Hua Shuming: "...?"

Wait a minute and let him figure it out.

Before he had time to smooth things over, new news began to bombard him again.

Shengxun: "You like to wear white clothes because he likes white, you dance classical dance because he says classical dance is beautiful, and you like the taste because it tastes like him?"

Gu Mengchen didn't hide it and admitted generously: "Yes."

"..."

Hua Shuming and Xia Hongyu still remember the first time they met Jiang Chu. Jiang Chu wore a black shirt and did a pole dance. He said he hated white shirts and classical dance.

That night, they found out that Shengxun liked Gu Mengchen and regarded Jiang Chu as Gu Mengchen's substitute. Because Gu Mengchen liked to wear white shirts, he asked Jiang Chu to wear white shirts. Because Gu Mengchen danced classical dance, he asked Jiang Chu to learn classical dance and also use Gu Mengchen's commonly used perfume.

result……

Gu Mengchen likes to wear white shirts because Xi Qinghe, whom he likes, prefers white. Gu Mengchen dances classical dance because Xi Qinghe likes it. Even the perfume is because it reminds him of Xi Qinghe.

I think of Shengxun mocking pole dancing in the bar and saying how good classical dance is.

Two people: "…………"

Xia Hongyu's silence reached its extreme at this moment, and Hua Shuming was a little out of breath.

Shengxun was even more serious than him. He gasped, "I will go abroad to find you and confess to you. You said you would consider it."

Gu Mengchen: "I originally wanted to use you to forget him, but it was impossible and unfair to you, so I refused."

"………………"

Hua Shuming was already in a daze.

What is this called? Is the way of heaven good for reincarnation?

Shengxun regards Jiang Chu as a substitute. In a sense, he is also a substitute?

So, Jiang Chu likes Sheng Xun, Sheng Xun likes Gu Mengchen, and Gu Mengchen likes Xi Qinghe.

Because Gu Mengchen likes Xi Qinghe to dance classical dance in a white shirt, Shengxun likes Gu Mengchen and lets Jiang Chu wear a white shirt to dance classical dance. He thinks this is Gu Mengchen's characteristic and the way he likes it, but he doesn't know that it is all Xi Qinghe's. Preferences and Characteristics.

This is more bloody and sadistic than a bloody drama!

Even 527 didn't know what to say and was stunned.

527: [I guessed the white shirt, but I didn’t expect classical dance and perfume as well. 】

527 patted the dull bull's head and thought hard, [So, what Shengxun likes is Xi Qinghe's characteristics? Xi Qinghe who beat him up and then treated him as your unclear love rival? Seeking Shengxun’s psychological shadow area at this time]

Su Qingyu: [……]

Su Qingyu: [You are really a little logic genius. 】

527 hugged the bull head: [Hey. 】

This can be used as a talking point for him to talk to his friends when he goes back, and they will be stunned.

Sheng Xun couldn't accept it anymore, he collapsed and was ashamed and angry. Under the gaze of several people, he rushed away from Gu Mengchen in front and ran away.

Jin Wanwan noticed the movement and came over, just in time to see him running out, "Huh? What's wrong?"

She glanced at the others and said, "Did you bully him?"

"..."

I don’t know what to say at the moment, I wasn’t bullied, but it’s worse than being bullied, right?

Su Qingyu smiled and said to her: "Mom, please go home and rest."

Jin Wanwan agreed quickly, "Okay, I'll just go back and make lunch for you."

Su Qingyu sent her a message and suddenly asked her: "Mom, what do you think of Sheng Xun?"

Jin Wanwan thought about it and said, "He is a young master, he doesn't have a very good temper. However, I can't explain why, but I think he is quite nice and not annoying."

After speaking, she looked at Su Qingyu and asked, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"It's nothing." Su Qingyu said with a smile, "Mom, be careful on the road."

"Oh! Go back quickly, it's just these few steps." Jin Wanwan walked home. After a few steps, she looked back at Su Qingyu, "They each have their own good points, but none of them is as good as my son Chu Chu."

Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Every mother in this world has her own good points, and no one is as good as Ms. Jin."

"You kid, you're so glib." The person who said it first felt embarrassed and waved away.

After sending Jin Wanwan away, the four people behind him were still silent.

Xia Hongyu already knew some of the inside information and reacted before Hua Shuming. He said, "Let's go see Sheng Xun."

The "we" he said were him and Hua Shuming, but when he tried to pull Hua Shuming away, Hua Shuming refused to leave. He looked at Gu Mengchen in surprise, "Senior, you like my little uncle!"

"..."

No wonder Hua Shuming was still surprised. On the way to Xianglili, he vowed to tell Xia Hongyu that his uncle was a man who had nothing to do with love and men.

Who knew, there would be a critical attack right away.

Gu Mengchen admitted generously, "Yes, I have liked him for ten years."

After speaking, he looked at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu smiled at him.

He didn't expect that Gu Mengchen would be so helpful to his mission.

Just when he looked over, a slow but continuous reminder of the increase in repentance value began to sound in his mind.

527: [Host, repentance value +1. 】

527: [Hey, repentance value +1. 】

527: [1. 】

527: [1. 】

It is difficult for people to truly empathize with others unless they have experienced something similar.

Shengxun didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he did to Jiang Chu before, but now he should feel it.

At first, he might just not be able to accept it, but slowly, he would realize empathetically how much he had done to Jiang Chu.

At the same time, I will also regret letting Jiang Chu wear a white shirt, learn classical dance, and use those perfumes, very much.

What he made Jiang Chu become was not Gu Mengchen at all, but what Xi Qinghe liked.

And Xi Qinghe was his Bai Yueguang, and the Bai Yueguang in his heart was a little fanboy who would get red-eyed before Xi Qinghe.

527 dutifully reported each repentance value that slowly emerged. In the slightly confused dog's head, he could already imagine Sheng Xun's state at this time.

It hurts, very much.

Regret, very regret.

Gu Mengchen didn't expect that he looked at Jiang Chu so unkindly, and Jiang Chu actually smiled at him, so sincerely and friendly.

This made him feel even worse.

He realized again that Jiang Chu was really good, better than him.

What else did Hua Shuming ask, but Xia Hongyu covered his mouth, "Jiang Chu and the others still have to work, let's continue shopping. We are leaving tonight, and there are still many places to visit."

Hua Shuming opened his hand, and Xia Hongyu thought he was going to say something blankly again, but he didn't expect that he also took the sad Gu Mengchen away.

A man with bright flowers and trees can't bear to see a beautiful woman sad.

He comforted Gu Mengchen, who immediately blushed as soon as he left Xi Qinghe, "Hey, don't be sad. My uncle is just that kind of person. He is just a nerd and has no need for emotion."

Gu Mengchen choked and said, "No, you don't understand."

Hua Shuming: "..."

"Have you liked my little uncle for a long time?" He was really curious, "When did you fall in love with him and how did you know him?"

"Ten years ago, my family wanted me to enter the entertainment industry. I also had this idea, so my grandpa took me to your grandpa's house and I met him for the first time."

Gu Mengchen always remembered the first time he saw Xi Qinghe.

That day Xi Qinghe wore a white shirt and sat on a bench under a thick oak tree in the yard to take a nap, with a book covering his face.

When he passed by, he happened to pick up the book on his face, and the green oak leaves on it slipped off, and he looked over with cold eyes.

At that time, Gu Mengchen thought he was also going to be a star, or an actor.

Because he was so perfect, everything from his appearance to his temperament pierced his heart.

Later, he realized that he was shallow.

"He is different from all the second-generation rich people I have come into contact with in the circle. No one is like him."

Hua Shuming: "..."

Indeed, there is no rich second generation in their circle who does not love half of the entertainment industry, prefers to engage in academics, and lives an alternative life.

After the three people left, Su Qingyu and Xi Qinghe were silent for a few seconds.

"I……"

"he……"

They both spoke at the same time and closed their mouths at the same time.

There was another moment of silence. This time Xi Qinghe didn't speak, waiting for Su Qingyu to say.

Su Qingyu lowered his head slightly, looking at the fallen leaves at his feet and wondering what he was thinking. After a while, he looked up at Xi Qinghe, "Autumn is already halfway over, and it's time to sow platycodon."

"Yes." Xi Qinghe said: "I have contacted my classmates to prepare the seeds. The main issue is the land. Let's go to them to negotiate rent now?"

Su Qingyu said yes.

None of them said anything about what happened just now. After talking to Lao Yang, they went to talk to the villagers and the village committee without stopping.

They walked around Xiangli County yesterday afternoon and had already selected two favorite locations for the Pangolin Cultivation Normal Base. After talking with Lao Yang today, they had new ideas.

With Xianglili at the front, people in the county had great trust in both of them, and within a day the matter was advanced.

They stayed at a fellow villager's house for lunch at noon and came back for lunch in the afternoon.

At this time, several other people also came back, and except Hua Shuming, they were all ready to leave.

Sheng Xun and Xia Hongyu both have very important jobs and can only stay here on weekends.

The train back to city b is at 6:30 in the evening, and Gu Mengchen said he would also take this train back.

After saying that, he looked at Xi Qinghe without any scruples and with a faint expectation in his eyes.

Sheng Xun's face was gloomy and scary, Hua Shuming covered his eyes not to look, Su Qingyu tore into the buns and ate them expressionlessly, and only Xia Hongyu looked at them.

Xi Qinghe said to Gu Mengchen, "Go back and don't come back again."

Gu Mengchen bit her lip tightly, her shoulders trembling.

After eating, the three of them, except Hua Shuming, started to pack their things.

Jin Wanwan prepared some stinky tofu and chili sauce for them, and enthusiastically entered the room and handed it to them. Xia Hongyu and Gu Mengchen both accepted it.

When Jin Wanwan went to the storage room to give it to Sheng Xun, Sheng Xun never picked it up.

He stared at the stinky tofu in Jin Wanwan's hand with a gloomy face. It wasn't until the smile on Jin Wanwan's face froze and she retracted her hand that he said, "Thank you, auntie, no, I can't take it with you."

Jin Wanwan glanced at his suitcase and nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, I am behind the times. Now that there is express delivery, you don't have to carry it like this. If you want to eat it, just tell Chu Chu."

She tucked her hair behind her ears and was about to go out with her stinky tofu when she suddenly heard Sheng Xun say: "Auntie, when will you let Jiang Chu go back?"

Jin Wanwan turned around in surprise, "What did you say?"

Shengxun glanced at the room opposite and said, "Jiang Chu stayed in this small place because of your illness, right? I was a college classmate with him, and I know how much he wants to integrate into the big city, but now he is trapped here Isn’t it your illness that has restricted him from farming?”

Jin Wanwan shook her head, "No, no, I do want him by my side, but I won't ask him."

"But, he still stayed because of your illness." Sheng Xun frowned, his gloomy face even more frightening, "He is a student of Jin University, it is ridiculous to sell stinky tofu at home, shouldn't you support him to do something more decent and more decent? Excellent work?”

"Even if parents don't help their children, they can't be a drag, right?"

"Is Sheng Xun okay? Jiang Chu borrowed a car and came back." Xia Hongyu called out from outside.

Shengxun pulled up the suitcase and said to Jin Wanwan: "Goodbye, aunt. Please think carefully about what I say. We are all doing it for Jiang Chu's best."

When a few people came, they came in a pickup truck belonging to fellow villagers. Naturally, they couldn't do this when they left.

Xi Qinghe originally rented a car, and there were only three people going back. It could fit in one person, but it could only be done by one person. Hua Shuming also wanted to go, so Su Qingyu went to the village to borrow a car.

He asked Shengxun and Xia Hongyu to get into his car, while Hua Shuming and Gu Mengchen went to Xi Qinghe's car.

Hua Shuming opened the passenger door, closed it again for some reason, and turned to Su Qingyu's car.

Xia Hongyu: "Why are you here? How spacious is a car for three people?"

Hua Shuming said: "Give them space to talk. Oh, why does Gu Mengchen like my little uncle?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw that Sheng Xun's face was horribly dark, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Then he thought again, why should he shut up? Shengxun used Jiang Chu as a substitute. He deserved it. Bai Yueguang liked someone else, treated him as a tool, and made such a ridiculous mistake.

He added: "It's normal to like my younger uncle. What can my younger uncle say? He has a high IQ, good looks, and a good family background. He will be a reserve academician in the future. He is so outstanding, but ordinary people cannot compare with him."

After he finished speaking, he asked Su Qingyu coquettishly: "Really? Jiang Chu."

Su Qingyu smiled and turned the steering wheel, "Yes, Xi Qinghe is a very good person."

Hua Shuming glanced at Sheng Xun's gloomier face in the rearview mirror.

Su Qingyu raised his head and looked at the car in front of him.

When the sunset disappeared, rain fell from the sky, and the car in front moved forward steadily in the sparse rain.

Su Qingyu only glanced at it and concentrated on driving.

The bus station arrived in twenty minutes. The three of them could take the bus directly to the train station, so they didn't send them off any further.

One was dull, one had a gloomy face, and the other had sad eyes. There was no sound at all when the three of them got in the car. You can imagine the embarrassment in the car.

Hua Shuming rubbed his arms. Fortunately, he didn't have to accompany him this time.

He said happily: "Uncle, Jiang Chu, let's go home!"

After arriving home, Hua Shuming was a little confused. He saw Xi Qinghe coming out of the room with an umbrella and said, "Uncle, originally I wanted to move to the guest room, but then I thought about whether the guest room should be reserved for you. I will continue to sleep." Storeroom floor?”

Jin Wanwan, who had kept her head down and didn't know what she was thinking, raised her head after hearing this and said, "No, you can just sleep in the guest room. Qinghe and Chuchu have to work together at night, so it's very convenient for them to sleep in the same room."

Hua Shuming looked at Xi Qinghe, who was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

Hua Shuming: "Oh oh oh."

He felt something was wrong. When he turned around, Xi Qinghe had already gone out with an umbrella.

Jin Wanwan smiled and said, "He went to pick up Chu Chu."

Jiang Chu went to return the car, but when he came back there was no car or umbrella.

Hua Shuming muttered, "My uncle is really considerate. Why didn't I think of that?"

When Su Qingyu came back, Hua Shuming had already pulled his two suitcases to the guest room.

He saw Jin Wanwan sitting under the pergola in the yard and said to her: "Mom, you should go to bed early. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow and have an operation the day after tomorrow."

Jin Wanwan hesitated to speak, with a tangled look on her face.

Su Qingyu noticed something strange about her, squatted in front of her and looked at her face, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you nervous about having surgery?"

Jin Wanwan asked: "Chu Chu, is it necessary to have surgery now?"

"Yes, everything is ready." Su Qingyu shook her hand, "Mom, don't worry, this surgery is very mature. Trust me, it will be fine."

"I'm not afraid, I just think it's too expensive. Not only is the surgery expensive, but you also have to take anti-rejection medicine after the surgery, which costs one to two thousand a month. This..."

Su Qingyu stared at her for a few seconds and asked directly: "Mom, did someone say something to you? Is it Sheng Xun?"

Jin Wanwan didn't expect that he was so sharp, and he saw everything at once. In this case, she didn't hide it anymore. During this time, she became more and more trusting of her son. His son told the family that everything must be discussed and negotiated. She told him what Sheng Xun said tactfully.

Su Qingyu thought that without the plot of Jin Wanwan being driven away outside the company and Sheng Xun sending her to the train station, he would not have the opportunity to say those hurtful words to Jin Wanwan, which led to Jin Wanwan's death.

Unexpectedly, it still happened.

Sheng Xun is very good at picking up the key points. What Jin Wanwan fears most is dragging her son down. If she hadn't been more confident and confident now than before, her condition might have been affected again.

527: [Host, you scumbag is too much! So infuriating! 】

Through this period of contact, 527 liked Jin Wanwan very much. It told Su Qingyu that it might be a good thing that Jiang Chu was wrongly carried. He grew up under the care of a gentle and kind mother, which was no worse than that of a wealthy family.

Su Qingyu smiled softly: [This is all his debt. 】

527: [Yeah! Just wait, he will regret it. 】

Su Qingyu ignored Shengxun for the time being and focused on Jin Wanwan, "Mom, what do you think?"

Jin Wanwan had been thinking about Sheng Xun's words just now. She shook her head, "Son, I don't think it's bad for you to sell stinky tofu at home. You have made food available to so many poor people. I saw many people on the Internet praising you. You can’t just listen to him.”

"Nothing is more important than living well. Mom will perform a good operation, and then work with Chu Chu to help more people and earn more money to pay off debts."

"Mom is not a drag on you. If the chili sauce sells so well, it's mainly because of mom's recipe, right?"

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Yes, Mom, many people online like you."

Jin Wanwan blinked, "Is it because they call me mother-in-law?"

Seeing Xi Qinghe bring a pot of hot tea from the kitchen, she immediately changed her tune, "I can accept those men calling me mother-in-law."

"..."

Xi Qinghe didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Jin Wanwan hurriedly asked him to sit down. She sat across from them, took a sip of hot water, looked at them and said, "Chuchu, Qinghe, I'm so happy. I wish I could continue like this."

She looked at Xi Qinghe, "Qinghe, how long are you going to stay here?"

Xi Qinghe drank water without squinting and said, "Look at Chu Chu."

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at him, smiling without saying a word.

Jin Wanwan said happily: "Yes, that's it. Now you are here to help Chuchu. When things get better here, Chuchu will accompany you to do projects in various places. Husband... people just want to help each other."

Hua Shuming secretly lay on the window to watch, and vaguely heard their chat. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He took out his mobile phone to send a message to Xia Hongyu.

Hua Shuming: [Xia Mumu, something is wrong. ]

Hua Shuming: [As you know, my uncle has always been obsessed with academics and doesn't like to be disturbed. There is a problem. He has a strong sense of territory and doesn't like others to get close to him. ]

Hua Shuming: [You said that when I first came as a guest, there was no house to live in, so it was reasonable to live together. Now that there is a vacant room, buying a bed and sharing rooms will not affect the discussion of work. Why do they still live together? Where is the room? ]

Xia Hongyu's news came soon, "It would be strange if they still lived in the same room." ]

Xia Hongyu: [I have one more thing to tell you now. Sheng Xun and Gu Mengchen had a quarrel. They both felt that your uncle liked Jiang Chu. ]

Hua Shuming: [...? ]
