If you were nicer to Gu Nian, would it make her fall deeper and deeper?
But if I treat Gu Nian badly from now on...
However, Shi Ye clearly knew that the world was already very unfriendly to a little girl like the girl. If he were to stab her in the face again, wouldn't she be too pitiful?
What's more, she is such a good girl.
well……
Shi Ye didn't expect that he would still be so hesitant when he woke up.
It was actually the first time that he encountered something that made it difficult for him to make a choice.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ye almost didn't recognize himself when it came to Gu Nian's issue.
However, what he had to face now was to go downstairs and eat the breakfast prepared by Gu Nian.
One thing that is at least clear is that from today on, Shi Ye no longer wants to use Qin Feng as a shield and backer.
No matter how the situation between him and Gu Nian would evolve and develop, Shi Ye decided to face it calmly.
After all, Gu Nian was braver and more sincere than him.
After doing some mental preparation, Shi Ye walked out of the bedroom and heard the sound of washing coming from the kitchen.
Sure enough, it was her.
Shi Ye thought about taking the initiative to say hello to Gu Nian, and if possible, he would also add a more sincere smile of his own.
However, just when Shi Ye was facing the people in the kitchen, he was about to say:
"Good morning……"
But the person who came out of the kitchen surprised Shi Ye a little.
"Zhang...Mama Zhang?"
"How could it be you!"
"Master, good morning."
Zhang's mother, who had returned to work, had a smile she hadn't seen for a long time when she saw Shi Ye.
But compared to Zhang Ma's enthusiasm, Shi Ye's originally prepared smile for Gu Nian now froze in mid-air.
Where is Gu Nian?
Shi Ye looked into the kitchen and saw no one else except Zhang Ma.
So I turned around and looked around every corner of the villa. After checking for a long time, I found that there was no trace of Gu Nian.
Zhang's mother saw that Shi Ye looked at her with a strange expression, and was a little worried that she had taken leave for more than half a month, so Shi Ye was unhappy.
So he quickly brought out the carefully prepared breakfast from the kitchen.
"Master, I've been home for several days, and I don't know if you've eaten well. I came back early in the morning and made the milk steamed buns that you've loved to eat since you were a child. I took advantage of the heat just out of the pot. , please warm your stomach quickly."
After hearing Zhang Ma talking to him, Shi Ye calmed down for a long time.
"Oh, you put it on the table."
"Um, um, Zhang Ma, didn't you see Gu Nian this morning?"
Shi Ye asked somewhat sadly.
"Miss Gu? You saw it!" Zhang Ma replied briefly.
But Shi Ye was obviously not satisfied with Zhang Ma's reply, so he asked anxiously, "What about her?"
Shi Ye's voice was obviously full of concern about where he was going at this moment.
We haven't seen each other for only half a month, why does Shi Ye seem to care so much about Miss Gu?
Shi Ye's attitude was a bit beyond what Zhang Ma had remembered. Shi Ye had always had a cold and indifferent impression towards outsiders.
"Master, now that I'm back, Miss Gu won't have to cook for you anymore. So early in the morning, she went out to work."
"The steamed buns are almost cold. Master, you'd better eat first!" Zhang Ma urged Shi Ye.
Shi Ye said "hmm", pulled out the seat and sat down, then picked up a piece of milk steamed bun and brought it to his mouth.
Zhang's mother has been a domestic helper at home for more than 20 years. Shi Ye has grown up eating her food since he was a child. But for some reason, after half a month, Shi Ye suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Even when I saw Zhang Ma coming back early in the morning, I felt like there was suddenly an empty space in my heart.
Seeing that Shi Ye's expression was not right, Zhang Ma, who was standing by, was a little nervous. She didn't know whether it was because it was not to Shi Ye's taste or because he was not feeling well.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why do I think you don't look right?"
"Oops! What's wrong with your forehead?" Zhang's mother suddenly pointed at Shi Ye's head and exclaimed.
Shi Ye was also shocked by Zhang Ma's reaction, so he touched his forehead in the direction Zhang Ma pointed at.
"Hiss...it hurts!"
It turned out that there was a large black mark on Shi Ye's forehead.
what happened?
This part of the head seemed to have been hit by someone.
However, Shi Ye had no memory of this at all.
But, it's like a slide show.
Suddenly, a girl in tears, with a sad and disappointed expression, flashed in front of Shi Ye's eyes.
Is that Gu Nian?
Shi Ye was a little confused as to why Gu Nian was crying in his mind.
"Master, are you really okay these days? Why do you seem to have changed when I'm not home for half a month?" Zhang's mother looked at Shi Ye nervously.
Shi Ye quickly put down the hand touching his forehead, "I'm fine."
"Have Miss Gu taken good care of you? I think she has just graduated from school. I'm afraid she may not have enough life experience, and I don't know if it would be bad to ask her for help..."
Zhang's mother is old and has been the nanny who has taken care of Shi Ye for many years. In fact, she treats Shi Ye as if she were her own child, always worrying that he will not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
What's more, in Zhang Ma's eyes, Gu Nian is a young man who has just arrived and has not had much contact with him, so it is inevitable that his words will be a little confidential.
Hearing that Zhang Ma was worried that Gu Nian was not doing well enough, Shi Ye said without thinking:
"No, she's fine!"
Zhang Ma's chatterbox was immediately blocked.
Zhang Ma knew Shi Ye's temperament and rarely praised someone. Even if she just said three simple words, it was enough to show that he was really satisfied with everything Gu Nian did.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I finally didn't entrust the wrong person.
"By the way, Zhang Ma, didn't Gu Nian say anything when he left?" Shi Ye asked.
Zhang Ma looked at the expectant expression on Shi Ye's face when he asked this question.
"Well, Miss Gu didn't say anything!"
When Zhang Ma said this, the expression on Shi Ye's face suddenly turned to disappointment.
This time, Zhang Ma felt even more strange.
The young master has really become a little abnormal.
When he left home half a month ago, his relationship with Gu Nian was like two unrelated strangers. Why, after he came back, all the young master's topics this morning seemed to revolve around Gu Nian.
"Oh, by the way. I actually wanted to stay with Miss Gu to have breakfast with her this morning. I was thinking about her little girl's family. It's not good to be hungry when she goes out to work early in the morning."
"But this kid was really stubborn and just said thank you to me."
"Also, she also said that she would never want to eat at this table again, so she told me not to worry about her."
Zhang Ma recounted the brief exchange between herself and Gu Nian that morning to Shi Ye. Although she didn't know why Gu Nian suddenly said such things, she could still hear some sadness in Gu Nian's tone.
Shi Ye remained silent.
He broke off a piece of steamed bun and put it into his mouth, but after chewing a few mouthfuls, he frowned.
What does "I don't want to eat at this table anymore" mean?
Shi Ye didn't understand. He just felt that the steamed buns were drier and harder than ever before, making it difficult for him to swallow them.
***
Chandler Bakery.
Undoubtedly, Gu Nian was the first and earliest person to arrive at the store.
And, no one else has arrived yet.
Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have to force himself to hold on to his exhaustion, and he had some time to adjust his emotions.
Then the whole person seemed to be paralyzed.
On the way to work, Gu Nian was thinking about everything that happened last night.
Shi Ye's lips and teeth seemed to still be in her mouth.
And the faint scent of perfume on his body is the smell that he has smelled since he came into contact with Shi Ye, and it seems to have been wrapping him up.
Such ambiguous memories and atmosphere...
But the moment Gu Nian saw his haggard appearance through the glass of the bus, he disappeared.
All that's left is a sense of sadness.
The "you" that Shi Ye said was definitely not her Gu Nian.
But who is that?
Gu Nian wanted to know, but didn't want to understand.
Because she didn't want to continue to sink like last night.
Because she knows that if she continues to be so stubborn, what will be left for her will be eternal disaster.
call!
Gu Nian took a deep breath, several breaths to be precise.
Only then did he calm down his increasingly depressed mood.
Okay, the clerks are coming one after another.
It's time to adjust to today's work.
Because Gu Nian was given a salary increase by her boss, she didn't have to think about running around all day today.
And from now on, Gu Nian only needs to concentrate on her job in the bakery.
It can be regarded as the only place where Gu Nian can feel relieved among the many tiring things.
In the morning, the clerks came to the store one after another, and the boss also came to the store and told everyone the latest news about the bakery.
As soon as the clerks heard about the new news, they surrounded the boss.
The boss said that the location of the new store has been selected and the decoration is in full swing.
"What? Boss, are you right? We are moving next week, so soon?" the clerks exclaimed.
"Yes, you heard it right. The renovation of our new store is at the end, and the store area is three times the size of the current store."
And the boss also emphasized that the reason why Chandler Bakery expanded so quickly was because he met a generous investor.
Therefore, the related store update work is actually what investors want.
"By the way, boss, you haven't told us where the new location of the store is yet?" the clerk asked.
This question simply touched the boss's heart.
Because the new store is located in an area that he never dared to dream of in the past.
"Ning'an Road, No. 1, First Floor."
The boss said in a measured tone.
The clerks became excited when they heard about the location of the new store.
"Wow! Boss, you are really prosperous! Ning'an Road is the CBD of Yuncheng! They are all the office buildings of Yuncheng's big consortiums, and...the special number one! Isn't this the most beautiful place in Yuncheng? Is it an expensive office building?”
When the boss heard the praises of the clerks, he couldn't help but burst out with pride and complacency.
"You are right! Moreover, I would like to remind you that the group behind this office building is not ordinary!"
The boss clasped his hands on his chest and said calmly.
The clerks were a little confused. Seeing the unfinished expression on the boss's face, they all took out their mobile phone maps and started searching.
"Holy crap! Boss, did I read that right? This...isn't this downstairs of Baichen Group!"
! ! !
What? !
