The moment the elevator door opened, a tall, strong man wearing a black suit appeared in front of Gu Yian. The man frowned and stared blankly at Gu Yian in the elevator car. To be precise, he stared blankly at the air next to Gu Yian.
"Uncle, please lend me a loan," Gu Yian said impatiently, looking at the man blocking the elevator door.
The man came back to his senses, nodded to express his apology, and turned sideways to let Gu Yian go out.
The elevator closed. The man lowered his head, touched his heart, and smiled to himself: "How is that possible? I'm really insane."
Just as he was about to press the floor number button to go up, the elevator door opened again, and Gu Yizhan made a phone call: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao's mother, why are you standing there? Come here quickly."
At this time, the man pressed the floor button, and the elevator door slowly closed in front of Gu Yian's eyes.
Gu Yian looked at the two abnormal ghosts next to him and had a guess in his mind. After all, I got my reward and thought about sending Buddha to the West, so I asked tentatively: "Is that Xiaobao's father just now?"
Xiaobao pursed his lips. These days, he has understood the difference between humans and ghosts:
"It's so pitiful that my father can't see my mother and I anymore. But it's wrong to have an unresolved relationship with a ghost. It will be bad for my father's health. In the future, when he has other children to accompany him, he will forget about Xiaobao."
Xiaobao used his logic to talk in childish language, which should have been funny, but seeing how he pretended to be a man and tried not to cry, the people present really couldn't laugh.
The tree spirit rarely said goodbye to Xiao Bao. She gently patted Xiao Bao's back with her little hand and comforted her silently. She seemed to have racked her brains to think of how to say: "Can I communicate with you?"
Xiaobao glanced at the tree spirit in confusion, and the tree spirit continued: "Your disappointment may be a kind of growth, understand? Although you left your father, your father definitely hopes that you will be better than him."
Xiaobao: "..."
The tree spirit looked at Xiaobao who stopped crying and seemed to be listening attentively, and puffed up his chest confidently: "You shed tears, which proves that you have grown up and have a better understanding of life."
Gu Yian saw the tears in Xiaobao's eyes accumulating more and more, and there was a tendency for a flash flood to break out at any time. He quickly reached out to cover the tree spirit's still babbling mouth.
In order for Shuling to have a better understanding of modern society, TV programs and the Internet are the best channels Gu Yian can think of. Remembering that what Shuling and Xiaobao watched last night seemed to be Metamorphosis? What the tree spirit said just now was 'Xiaojuan's Encourage to Learn'.
Gu Yian faced the tree spirit with a confused face and a black line on his forehead, so he quickly changed the subject: "Do you want Xiaobao's father to see you again? I can help you."
Sun Yurao lowered his eyelids and said lonely: "Xiaobao's father has a lot of white hair, and he is much older than before.
In fact, he used to be like a big boy and very clingy, but now that I have matured, I can’t even recognize him.
I don't want to disturb his life anymore. I've already been a coward once and left him alone to face this world. I don't want to give him hope and then let it fail again.
We are already people from two worlds. What do you mean, Xiaobao? "
Xiaobao sniffed and nodded: "I don't want to scare dad, but he's still missing."
Looking at the two "rabbits" with red eyes, Gu Yian expressed respect for their decision and said indifferently:
"You have said goodbye to Xiaobao and Sun Yurao as humans. Now you are Xiaobao and Sun Yurao as ghosts, which can be considered a new life. Let's go, I will take you to a big meal to celebrate your "birth"."
The child's emotions came and went quickly. He jumped up happily, pulled the tree spirit around happily, and said innocently: "Then I am as old as my mother. Can my mother call me Brother Xiaobao from now on?"
Sun Yurao: "..." My dear son, please be extremely filial to me.
Gu Yian took the lead and pulled the bewildered tree spirit to the front, waved his hand and said, "Come on, Uncle Xiaobao."
The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Okay, let's go! Let's have a big dinner."
"I want to empty Sister Xiao An's wallet."
"Sister, I'm not short of money. Eat as much as you want."
"Ha ha ha ha"
…
In front of the balcony window on the sixth floor, a man in a suit held a coffee cup in his hand and stared at Gu Yian's back. Only when he couldn't see it did he painfully realize that his hand was scalded red by the poured liquid.
*****
In the private room of a famous hotpot restaurant in Yuncheng.
The waiter asked again and again in surprise: "Miss, are you sure you want 12 plates of mutton slices, 3 plates of fat beef, 3 plates of tripe, and 3 servings of ice powder?"
Two portions each of black melaleuca, white melaleuca, saury fillet, shrimp paste, yellow throat, duck blood, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, and small crispy pork.
One each of rocket squid, duck intestines, luncheon meat, tribute vegetables, yuba, wide noodles, and vegetable platter? "
After receiving a positive reply, he kindly suggested: "You and your sister really can't eat it, how about... a few smaller portions?"
"Thank you for reminding me. I have a big appetite, and I like your hot pot very much. It feels different from the ones in wet markets and supermarkets, and the variety is more complete. If I can't eat it, I will pack it and I can eat a few more meals. "
Gu Yian's face was bright and smiling, and she seemed to be a true fan of this store. No one could tell that this was the store she had searched for online and tried for the first time.
Seeing the customers who liked their hot pot, the waiter smiled more sincerely and explained with a smile:
"Our store adheres to the principle of diligence and frugality, and stipulates that customers should be given friendly reminders of order portions when ordering. This avoids the waste of ingredients and allows customers to spend the least money to enjoy the best service."
Gu Yi'an's smile remained unchanged, and he was a little more approving. He was proud that the hotel where he worked could win the favor of the guests.
"Miss, you are really discerning. Our ingredients, pot bottoms and sauces are all flown in from Sichuan Province every day, which restores the flavor of the local century-old restaurant one to one.
I will give you two pieces of Yiran sweet soy milk for you to drink first. It is also a local brand in Sichuan Province and is generally not sold in other provinces.
After exiting the private room, turn right and see the snacks and snacks area, where you can prepare snacks according to your own taste. "
Gu Yian took the soy milk and took a big sip with a straw. Unlike the mellow ones at breakfast restaurants, this milky and sweet soy milk was more suitable for hot pot after being chilled.
The tree spirit sipped the soy milk and narrowed his eyes happily: "Mom, it tastes good, as good as Coke."
Gu Yian said mischievously: "Then if Coke and soy milk fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?"
The tree spirit replied immediately before Gu Yian finished speaking: "I know the standard answer. I will save my mother."
Looking at the tree spirit who was begging for praise, Gu Yian asked strangely: "Why do you always call me mother?"
The tree spirit said matter-of-factly: "You are my mother. Without my mother, Ling'er wouldn't be able to transform into a human form."
Gu Yian understood, but still warned: "Don't call me mother in the future. After all, I am also a public figure. If you suddenly become a mother, you may be photographed. If someone sees it, What should I do if I steal you away when you are so cute? So from now on, just like Xiaobao, call me Sister Xiaoan."
The tree spirit blinked her big eyes and looked at Sun Yurao and Xiaobao for confirmation. Seeing them nodding in agreement at her, she could only say reluctantly: "I understand, mother."
Gu Yian: "..." OK, correct it slowly.
Gu Yian took a sip of soy milk and sighed silently.
Seeing Xiaobao staring eagerly at the soy milk bottle, Gu Yi'an waved his hand: "I'll get 10 more bottles of this soy milk, all of them must be iced. By the way, the bottom of the pot needs to be a spicy pot and a mandarin duck pot."
"Ah? I suggest that if you want to try both flavors, you can just have one Yuanyang pot." The waiter couldn't help but say.
This is the first time in his career that he has encountered such a strange customer. They would rather pay extra to take their children to a private room. The two people who looked like little bird stomachs ordered food for more than ten people, and the key point was that they ordered two pot bottoms. . And I always feel that the beautiful girl in front of me looks familiar. I can’t remember where I saw her before. She must be some kind of celebrity.
Gu Yian looked at the waiter with an awkward but polite smile without any unnecessary response.
The waiter immediately regained his professional attitude and said with a smile: "Okay, your order has been placed and sent to the backend. I wish you a pleasant meal."
With that said, he exited the private room.
"Huh..." Gu Yian took a deep breath. It was really tiring to take two ghosts out for dinner, mainly because of his heart.
Looking at his mother-in-law who looked innocent and blinked at him with identical round eyes, Gu Yian held his head and wondered why he had to eat hot pot because he was so stupid. Did he have to wash the vegetables from beginning to end and dip them in sauce, like a little maid? Are you going to serve these two girls the same way?
Can Gu Yian do this?
Absolutely not, anything that delays your eating must be avoided to nip it in the bud.
So Gu Yian took out two talismans from the small storage space left for him by the system and punched them into the mother and son, so that they could touch real objects and eat by themselves, but what they ate was still the same. As before, it was the 'qi' of the food itself, but the taste was no different from that of humans.
After repeatedly telling mother and son not to act strange in front of others, Gu Yian resignedly took the tree spirit to mix the ingredients.
Gu Yian wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and thought: I really didn't get that set of jewelry for nothing. Fortunately, it was the last dinner, so the nanny would be the nanny.
Xiaobao drank the soy milk secretly, feeling happy in his heart: The soy milk is so sweet, and my sister is so kind to me.
Sun Yurao quietly touched the chopsticks in front of him, feeling novel about being able to touch something again. He thought silently: I owe my benefactor so much, and I can only sincerely wish that my benefactor will get everything he wishes.
Gu Yian, who was adjusting the ingredients, didn't see it. A trace of white will came out of the private room and entered Gu Yian's body. The power of chaos in his body turned over comfortably...
The tree spirit just glanced at the white light and found that it should not be harmful to Gu Yian, so he listened intently to Gu Yian's introduction to the ingredients on the small food table, and also prepared the small ingredients himself with the help of the waiter. Gu Yian Qing Mimi tasted it, yo, not bad, confiscated it.
When Shu Ling saw that Gu Yian liked it, he mixed a few more with a smile, feeling very accomplished.
Gu Yian couldn't help but sigh, this cub was not raised in vain.
