When Gu Yu returned to the real world, he was greeted by the ordinary but warm winter sunshine, and the breakfast carefully prepared by Gu Ruotong. There were as many as ten categories, which were all as good as the hotel buffet. He was really not afraid of trouble.
Gu Yu has become somewhat accustomed to the extra five million in his account. His mentality has become relatively calm, and he only regards himself as an ordinary wage earner with a monthly income of one million, but the work content is more fantasy.
Time passed slowly, and it was almost the New Year. Gu Yu was also preparing to leave for his hometown. Without the epidemic, this year would be a reunion year.
Gu Ruotong finally decided to go back to his home. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that he would face cold disregard when he went back.
But she was worried that if she rashly went to Gu Yu's house, his family, especially Gu Yu's mother, would think she was frivolous and disrespectful.
She cares more about the feelings of Gu Yu's family than those who are nominally related to her by blood.
Although no one was there, Gu Ruotong wanted to convey her feelings to Gu Yu's mother. She took Gu Yu to the mall for several days, trying to pick out a suitable gift for Ms. Xue, and insisted on paying for it herself.
"Hello, Good morning~ I will still be here to navigate for you today, fasten your seat belt and let's go now~"
The navigation prompt sounded, and the sky was not completely bright outside the car window. Gu Yu rarely got up early and was ready to set off at six o'clock.
It takes five and a half hours to return to his hometown from Jiangcheng, and Gu Yu has to send Gu Ruotong to Huangmei first. Fortunately, on the way, he should still be able to catch the lunch prepared by Ms. Xue.
Gu Yu ordered the dishes yesterday. He wanted sweet and sour pork ribs, whole chili peppers, and squid and radish soup. It had to be shredded. No vegetables. He didn't know how to move his chopsticks when frying.
We haven’t seen each other for a while, but now Ms. Xue is still full of love for her son. She fully agreed to Gu Yu’s request and bought him cherries, strawberries, and chicken heads.
Gu Yu was looking forward to the first few days at home. The motivation to go home supported him and he got up at five o'clock.
"Here, eat an egg tart first,"
The car quickly got on the second ring road and headed towards the Wu'e Expressway. Gu Ruotong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thoughtfully handed Gu Yu an egg tart.
Because he got up early, Gu Yu wasn't too hungry. Besides washing up, he also had to pack and carry New Year's goods, so he didn't have time to stay home too early.
Gu Ruotong baked a few egg tarts in the oven, boiled a few eggs, and brought washed and cut fruits to the car, ready to feed Gu Yu along the way.
Today, she felt more reluctant than happy. She was happy because she was sitting in the passenger seat. This journey was like a couple driving home during the Chinese New Year.
It's easy to understand her reluctance. She won't be able to see Gu Yu for at least two weeks. During this time, their world gave her a lot of daydreams.
"What special features do you have there? Can you let me experience it earlier? We will arrive at Huangmei at about half past eight,"
Gu Yu drove the Audi S7 with one hand, took the egg tart with the other hand, and swallowed it in one bite. I don’t know if he will get extra points.
"Breakfast? It doesn't seem to be anything special. I know there is a ramen restaurant that tastes pretty good, and there is also a restaurant that makes wontons that are also quite delicious."
Gu Ruotong thought for a moment. At her age, she didn't know much about the specialties of her hometown.
"Okay, let's go eat beef ramen. When we get to Huangmei, do you need to treat me?" Gu Yu asked with a smile.
"Hmm~ Okay, I'll take it. Their eggnog is also quite delicious." Gu Ruotong agreed with a slight smile. She liked this kind of interaction.
197 kilometers. There were not many cars on the road at the moment. Gu Yu could drive at an average speed of 110 kilometers. After getting off the highway, the speed of the car slowed down.
At about a quarter past eight, Gu Yu and the two drove to the Big Bear Ramen Restaurant recommended by Gu Ruotong.
The taste is indeed good. The most important thing is that the noodles are freshly pulled, very chewy, and have a layer of red oil, which is a bit like Xiangyang beef noodles.
Compared with alkaline noodles, ramen noodles are more similar to Gu Yu's taste. He ate the two noodles with the soup, maybe he was really hungry.
Seeing Gu Yu's good appetite, Gu Ruotong, who hadn't finished one or two noodles, stared at the soup bowl thoughtfully, and came up with the idea of learning to make ramen.
There is no banquet in the world. After breakfast, Gu Ruotong's mood became more and more depressed. Looking at the increasingly familiar streets outside the car window, she knew that it was time to say goodbye.
"Brother, goodbye, be safe on the road, send me a message when you get home, and... if you are not busy during the New Year, you can chat with me more."
When the car stopped in front of a slightly old residential building, Gu Ruotong tried his best to put on a smile, but the smile was really forced and bitter.
In the few months she had known and gotten along with Gu Yu, she felt the missing care and love from Gu Yu, who was seven years older than her, and her life became warm and meaningful.
Therefore, girls whose native families are unhappy are easier to deceive.
"early."
"?"
"It's too early to say goodbye. For your sake, I brought some gifts to your family. After I send you up and make arrangements, I can leave with peace of mind."
Looking at Gu Ruotong who looked at him with big eyes and confusion, Gu Yu chuckled and said,
The plain words went straight into Gu Ruotong's heart. The man in front of her always surprises her, always appears by her side when she needs it, carefully considers her feelings, and solves her problems like a big brother.
At this moment, she had the urge to throw herself into the other person's arms and express her feelings, but in the end she suppressed it forcefully.
It’s not the time yet, there are still many issues that need time to consider,
For their daughter's return, even if they knew about it in advance, the family was not prepared in any way. It was worse than a guest.
Seeing Gu Ruotong, who was different from the low-key and simple before, became exquisite and eye-catching, wearing famous brands, he was obviously a little confused and shocked,
Seeing the rich and handsome Gu Yu and the Moutai and Chinese smoked Longjing tea he was carrying again, Gu Ruotong's family hurriedly entertained him warmly and asked him about his welfare.
Gu Yu didn't sit there for a while, and his attitude towards Gu Ruotong's family was lukewarm. He showed his concern for Gu Ruotong and inadvertently revealed his financial resources.
When Gu Ruotong's biological father and stepmother sent Gu Yu downstairs, they looked at the Audi S7 worth millions and drove away, and they immediately had other thoughts.
"Tongtong, how do you know him? He seems to be older than you, right?"
"Is his business big? Is his family rich?"
"Tongtong, have you had breakfast? Mom went to buy you some beef noodles. Don't you like that?"
"Tongtong, are you tired from the journey? Go back to the house and have a rest. Tell grandma what you want to eat for lunch. Grandma will go to the market to buy it."
Regardless of the purpose, Gu Ruotong's family's attitude towards her has changed drastically, but these changes have made Gu Ruotong's heart even colder.
It was already half past nine when Gu Yu left Huangmei, and he was still 385 kilometers away from his hometown of Qingliu.
It was originally a journey of nearly four hours, but after Gu Yu hurriedly hurriedly arrived at Sanyuelanshan Community at one o'clock in the afternoon,
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"You still know how to come back? You said you can get home before twelve o'clock. What time is it now? The food is cold. You are so old that you still don't have a sense of time.
Came back alone? Then why are you ordering so many dishes? Do you want to tire your mother to death? "
Gu Yu, who had just stepped into the house, had a bright smile on his face.
