When Zhou Qingyan arrived home, Gu Jiaojiao had just laid out the food. When she saw Zhou Qingyan coming back, she said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, you are back!"
Gu Jiaojiao ran to the door to help him get his slippers, and took the bag he was holding.
Zhou Qingyan was in a daze. Apart from being at home, this was the first time for someone to welcome him home in such a long time.
"Um."
Gu Jiaojiao never cared about his coldness. She stood aside and watched him change his shoes with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, your friend's employee just brought food over. You haven't eaten yet, right? Can we eat together?" "
Zhou Qingyan looked at her expectant eyes and nodded.
"Okay!" Gu Jiaojiao looked very happy, actually spinning around in circles and laughing.
Her laughter is very pleasant, light and sweet.
Gu Jiaojiao did not hide her happiness, and her voice was very excited: "I'm going to get the dishes and chopsticks. Mr. Zhou, go wash your hands quickly."
After saying that, he skipped to the kitchen.
Zhou Qingyan didn't understand that he just agreed to have a meal with her, was he so happy?
Unlike Gu Jiaojiao's excitement, Zhou Qingyan washed his hands unhurriedly.
Dinner was rice and stir-fried vegetables, three dishes: boiled okra, three-color shrimp, steamed pork ribs with taro, and morel mushroom soup.
Very light dishes and soups.
Neither of them spoke during the meal, but Zhou Qingyan could feel the pleasant atmosphere emanating from Gu Jiaojiao, and her eyes were always smiling.
Zhou Qingyan originally lost her appetite when she saw these light dishes, but seeing how happy she was eating, she ate some.
When Gu Jiaojiao stopped her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, Zhou Qingyan's curiosity finally defeated her reticence, and he asked, "Are you so happy?"
Gu Jiaojiao nodded fiercely, her charming face was extremely cute at this moment, like a kitten in a happy mood.
She clasped her hands together and said, "This is my first time eating with others~ Of course it should be worthwhile!"
Thinking of something, she lowered her head lonely, bit her lip, and lowered her voice: "This is the first time since I was a child that I have eaten at the dining table with others."
Zhou Qingyan frowned, "Where is your family?"
Gu Jiaojiao lowered her head. She shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to say it."
She suddenly raised her head, with a big smile on her face, and regained her vitality: "Today is a day worth being happy. You shouldn't think about unhappy things~ It's all over~"
Zhou Qingyan hesitated to speak, and finally said no more. He found that there were more and more mysteries in her that made people want to explore.
"I'm going to wash the dishes. Can we go for a walk later?"
"No, just leave it in the kitchen. The union will come and clean it tomorrow morning."
Gu Jiaojiao has quickly put away the takeout boxes, put them all into the garbage bag, and tied the garbage bag smoothly.
"It's just two bowls, I can wash them very quickly!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qingyan had no choice but to let her go.
Gu Jiaojiao quickly washed the dishes and came out. She picked up the garbage bag and put it down again. She seemed to remember something and said to Zhou Qingyan: "Mr. Zhou, just wait for me, it will only take two minutes~"
Zhou Qingyan nodded and followed her gaze.
Gu Jiaojiao first poured herself a glass of warm water and took out a cosmetic bag from her backpack. Zhou Qingyan thought she was going to put on makeup, but she didn't expect that she took out several medicines from it.
She took out the medicines one by one from the medicine board. There were about ten pills of different types in total. Gu Jiaojiao put them all into her mouth, frowned and drank a large amount of water before swallowing them.
Zhou Qingyan saw that her movements were so skillful that she seemed to have done them thousands of times. Thinking of her illness, he frowned.
"Why don't you eat them separately?" he asked.
Gu Jiaojiao rubbed her belly and said, "You need to drink a lot of water to eat separately~ I'm so happy tonight that I ate too much and can't drink too much water!"
She stuck out her tongue and said crisply: "Don't eat too much at night from now on, otherwise there won't be room in your stomach to take medicine~"
Zhou Qingyan suddenly asked: "Some congenital heart diseases can be cured by surgery, right?"
Gu Jiaojiao shook her head: "My body..." She paused, not wanting to say more, and simply changed the subject: "Oh, surgery is so scary. I'm fine now, I just take some medicine."
She continued energetically: "Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou, the doctor who prescribes medicine for me is very good. The medicine he prescribes for me only needs to be taken once a day~"
She looked content and happy.
Zhou Qingyan stared at Gu Jiaojiao, and there was indeed no trace of complaint or self-pity on her expression.
It's a good attitude, and I can still be so energetic.
Zhou Qingyan stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk."
"Okay, okay!" Gu Jiaojiao picked up the garbage bag and followed him.
It was evening, the street lights were already on, and there was a pink-purple sunset in the distance.
After Gu Jiaojiao threw away the trash, she took out her phone, turned on the camera, zoomed in on the scene, and took a picture.
After taking the photo, she posted the photo to her WeChat Moments with the text: [A very, very, very happy day! 】
After turning off her phone, Gu Jiaojiao said to Zhou Qingyan who was waiting at the side: "Let's go for a walk~"
This is Zhou Qingyan's first time walking here. To be honest, he has never visited this villa area. He bought the house here because it was quiet.
The two of them walked very slowly, and their steps almost overlapped. Gu Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up at Zhou Qingyan, and when she saw him looking back at her, she lowered her head with a smile.
As if infected by her joyful mood, Zhou Qingyan looked at the sunset in the distance, feeling a long-lost tranquility in his heart.
This peaceful mood lasted until the two of them lay on the bed.
Gu Jiaojiao was wearing the pajamas he just bought today, lying on the soft bed, feeling better.
She couldn't help but want to talk when she was in a good mood.
"Mr. Zhou, can we have a chat?"
Zhou Qingyan closed the book. The bed was too soft and he felt uncomfortable sitting on it. He simply lay down and asked her, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes were bright, "We can talk about anything! If you are unhappy, you can complain to me. I have a very strict mouth!"
She made a zipper motion.
Zhou Qingyan twitched the corners of his lips. Why could he be unhappy?
He was a professor at a young age, and his family owned a mine. Apart from poor sleep and being mentally stressed all the time, there seemed to be nothing to be unhappy about.
Gu Jiaojiao saw it from his expression and couldn't help but said, "It's unbalanced. It's unbalanced. How come some people are born as the proud sons of heaven, and I am the npc who sets off the young masters."
Gu Jiaojiao smiled bitterly ipg.
Zhou Qingyan looked at her face carefully and said with rare praise: "You don't look like an NPC with this face."
Gu Jiaojiao's smile froze on her face, and a dim light flashed across her lowered eyes, which quickly returned to normal.
"Really? Then I'm a little princess too?"
Although Zhou Qingyan rarely surfs the Internet, the group of graduate students he leads are young people who surf the Internet all day long, so he also knows the popular memes.
He spoke in a low voice: "Princess, please be confident."
Gu Jiaojiao covered her mouth and laughed, her body trembling, and the bed also shook.
There was a smile in Zhou Qingyan's eyes. She became happy easily, and his emotions were easily infected by her.
Xu was in a very relaxed mood today, and Zhou Qingyan actually fell asleep without realizing it.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at his handsome sleeping face and suppressed her smile.
She opened WeChat and found two unread messages, with a small red dot displayed in her circle of friends.
The like of Xiaohongdian comes from Lu Lici.
The unread messages are from Shen Jinyi and Gu Xiwen.
Gu Xiwen: [Where has Jiaojiao been so happy? 】
Shen Jinyi: [Have you traveled? 】
Gu Jiaojiao did not reply to them and changed her status to in retreat.
There is only one Jiang Jinyu left on the list, and there is no like or search for her.
