Everyone has the tendency to gossip.
Women’s tendency to gossip is particularly prominent.
A woman's gossip heart is like sunshine and air, everywhere.
They seem to be born explorers, with strong curiosity and keen insight, and can easily capture details that ordinary people cannot detect.
In this respect, the woman is essentially the equivalent of Sherlock Holmes.
Among them, middle-aged women are the most gossipy.
Everyone has probably had a similar experience: You have only been working outside for a few years, but after finally returning home, rumors have spread in your hometown that you are absconding outside.
Usually this kind of rumor comes from the middle-aged and elderly intelligence agencies at the entrance of the village - more than 80% of its members are middle-aged women in the village.
This can be seen from this that middle-aged women are obsessed with gossip.
Not to mention wealthy and leisurely middle-aged women like Su Xiaoyan and her best friends.
These guys eat and drink well every day and don't have to work. They only party and have patties all day long and just gossip about some things - just like the women in the village.
Of course, how can the gatherings of noble ladies be the same as those of village women?
They call it a tea party, or afternoon tea.
In fact, there is essentially no difference.
They would talk about the husband's career for a while, the feelings of that family for a while, and they would be able to discuss any topic.
Among them, the most popular topic was the relationship problems between Chu Zihang and Gu Bei.
Of course, eating young grass is just a joke between the aunts, mainly because the two children are so outstanding - so outstanding that they can't think of what kind of girl can be worthy of these two boys.
Gu Bei is a bit better, because from their perspective, Gu Bei is a mature and independent child. Although he recognizes Su Xiaoyan as his adoptive mother, it is only in name. In fact, this child lives at home. They went out to rent a house in less than a year, and Su Xiaoyan and Lu Tianming didn't have to worry about anything big or small.
So when they talk about relationship issues, they rarely talk about Gu Bei - although this young man is also a hot commodity, he can solve his own affairs by himself.
The aunts were more concerned about Chu Zihang.
Although Chu Zihang is also very independent, compared to Gu Bei's maturity, he always feels that something is lacking.
And the biggest problem with Chu Zihang is the expression of emotions.
Before Chu Zihang turned sixteen, the aunts even suspected that Chu Zihang had facial paralysis. This was later clarified after examination, but the aunts were even more worried.
Because Chu Zihang is not facially paralyzed, this means that Chu Zihang's coldness is purely a personality problem.
He has little mood swings and is not good at expressing himself. Although he is good-looking and has a lot of suitors, he never makes pretentious remarks to anyone.
The aunts all agreed that Chu Zihang's emotional experience must have been rough.
Therefore, despite the fact that they have been recommending their own children to Chu Zihang, it is not just because of Chu Zihang's excellence - although there are some reasons for this, but on the other hand, it is because of the aunts' respect for Chu Zihang. Zihang’s concern.
But now, this concern seems to be no longer needed.
The girl wore a white woolen sweater and a brown coat on her upper body, and simple blue jeans on her lower body. She stood next to Chu Zihang pretty, with red lips, white teeth, curved eyebrows, and bright eyes as bright as stars.
The two of them were very close to each other and their hands were clasped together. The sharp-eyed aunt saw the rings on their hands and secretly tugged at the corner of Su Xiaoyan's clothes.
Of course Su Xiaoyan also saw it. She noticed it from the beginning. If I had to use one word to describe Su Xiaoyan's mood, it would be shock.
Very shocked!
Although Su Xiaoyan had already expected that Chu Zihang had someone he liked, Su Xiaoyan never expected that the two of them would even wear rings!
This is a successful proposal! ?
Was it Zihang who proposed or this girl proposed?
No, no, that's not the point.
The point is that my son, who is as lumpy as an elm tree, actually got better!
Not only did he get enlightened, he fell in love quietly and proposed!
What is this operation?
It's like Rabbit and Eagle Sauce are preparing for an arms race. Eagle Sauce is preparing to show off a wave of the most advanced mechanical kinetic energy weapons, but when he turns around, Rabbit's electromagnetic gun is set up.
That's pretty much it.
And not only Chu Zihang, but also Gu Bei also did the same thing.
Her long dark red hair fell into a red waterfall. The girl huddled half behind Gu Bei, looking at the aunts half nervously and half curiously.
Eri actually has a bit of social fear, but because her personality was not perfect in the past and she didn't have many contacts with strangers, she rarely showed this emotion - of course, let her be social It was not Su Xiaoyan who was afraid, but the other aunts.
During the period when Eriyi was in Tianchao, she would often come to Su Xiaoyan's house as Gu Bei to have a meal. During the meal period, the aunts like Bei would often catch her and ravage her. These aunts would sigh while doing so. : "I always feel that Xiaobei has become a lot better during this time."
This is one of the reasons why Gu Bei is not very willing to go back to live here.
When Gu Bei was away, Chu Zihang endured the ravages on his behalf.
Eryi no longer wants to think back on how she spent this time. In her eyes, except for Su Xiaoyan, the other aunts are already savage beasts.
That's why she couldn't help but shrink back from Gu Bei.
Now Eriki can easily perform this kind of behavior to express emotions. After completing the world view, Eriki's character is completely complete. Although she no longer has the demure and elegant feeling of the past, she is sometimes lively and good-tempered. Active, sometimes timid, giving people the feeling of being cute in one word.
Even the girlish hearts of Su Xiaoyan and her best friends were cute: Ah~ so cute!
It was really cute, especially when Eriyi poked her head out from behind Gu Bei, her eyes circled around the several aunts, and finally landed on Su Xiaoyan, her eyes lit up, and she shouted: "Little girl" Hello Sister Yan~”
Naturally, I learned this title from Gu Bei, especially after living here for the past few days, Eri Yi was almost used to it.
Su Xiaoyan admitted that she was captured.
"Eri Uesugi, my girlfriend, a native of Tokyo, Japan, came to our house as a guest." Gu Bei touched Eri's hair and introduced, "And this is Eri's bodyguard, Sakura Yabuki, little Sister Yan, just call her Ying."
The last sentence introduces Sakura behind him.
Ying nodded towards Su Xiaoyan: "Hello, Mrs. Su."
His words were very capable.
Xiao Eliyi shook her head, shook Gu Bei's hand off her head, then trotted to Su Xiaoyan, raised her hand and put it on her little head.
Gu Bei: ...Am I being disliked?
However, the effect of Hui Liyi's move was outstanding. Su Xiaoyan almost melted. Feeling the soft hair in her hands, she couldn't help but stroke it back and forth twice before looking at Xia Mi, the person next to Chu Zihang.
Compared to Eriyi, Xia Mi's behavior was much more generous. She didn't need Chu Zihang's introduction and stepped forward directly: "Hello, Sister Xiaoyan, my name is Xia Mi and I am Zihang's girlfriend. We should We’ve met before.”
"Xia Mi..." Su Xiaoyan looked at the energetic girl in front of her, and her sleeping memories suddenly came back to her, "Are you Chu Zihang's school girl?"
It’s not that Xia Mi had nothing to do with Chu Zihang, it’s just that for some reason the memories of all the people involved were skewed. When Xia Mi takes the initiative to evoke this memory, the originally blocked memories will also be able to be revealed. recover.
"Yes, it's me. Sister Xiaoyan still remembers me." Xia Mi happily held Su Xiaoyan's hand, "Long time no see, Sister Xiaoyan."
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Bei and Chu Zihang's mouths twitched at the same time.
It's not that there's anything wrong with Xia Mi's words, it's mainly the title.
Originally it was exclusive to Gu Bei. Because Gu Bei acted too mature, Su Xiaoyan didn't want Gu Bei to call her "or", so she got this title.
The reason why Eryi can call her that is because she followed Gu Bei in calling her that way. Otherwise, if Gu Bei calls her sister Xiaoyan and Eryi calls her aunt, it would be a generational difference.
But Xia Mi’s voice...
A girl who is several thousand years old calls a woman who is several decades old sister. This scene is so beautiful that people dare not look at it.
But there is no better title. If you call her aunt, the scene will be more interesting.
Sister Xiaoyan is just sister Xiaoyan.
"Sit down, sit down quickly..." Su Xiaoyan asked everyone to sit down, and then looked at the mess on the ground, "Aunt Tong, ask someone to come over and clean up. Also, go get some snacks."
"Okay, ma'am."
The hard-working Aunt Tong entered the back room and came out after a while carrying a fruit plate. Another aunt followed behind her, holding a snack box. Plastic sheets separated the areas in the snack box, which contained potato chips. , golden popcorn, cream puffs and chocolate chip cookies.
My wife likes desserts and snacks, so she always has these at home.
Several people came out from behind and quickly cleaned the living room, and then the aunt put down the food.
"I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't make any preparations. Next time I come to my aunt's house, she will treat you well." Su Xiaoyan sat Eriyi on the left and Xia Mi on the right. She picked up snacks and stuffed them into their hands. .
The aunts occupied the sofas on both sides, surrounded the two girls in the middle, and pushed the two male protagonists Gu Bei and Chu Zihang to the opposite side.
There were too many unknown people around, and Eliyi was not used to it. She stayed close to Su Xiaoyan, holding her little hand around Su Xiaoyan's arm.
The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the timid look made people feel pitiful, but also made people feel extremely cute.
Su Xiaoyan: I’m going to use my child as a pillow tonight!
The aunts gathered around the two girls, asking various questions as if checking their household registration.
"How old is Eri Yi this year?"
"How do you guys know each other?"
"Xia Mi and Zi Hang are from the same school?"
"When will you get married?"
"How far has it progressed?"
"Shut up, they are still children!"
"..."
Eriki was so confused by the question that she could only look at Sakura standing behind the sofa.
Sakura's eyes turned to the side: ...
She pretended not to see it!
The fighting power of the aunts was so strong, and even Sakura couldn't match the burning fire of gossip in their eyes.
Miss, please wish yourself well.
Natsumi dealt with it with ease, and occasionally found time to help Eriki out.
Su Xiaoyan didn't get involved in her best friends' questioning, and just kept stuffing snacks into Eriyi's hands. She made up her mind to settle the relationship with this little girl, and maybe there would be a pillow tonight. !
For a time, Eriyi became the group favorite.
The aunts probably also noticed that Eriki was a little afraid of strangers, so they turned their guns and rushed towards Xia Mi, asking various tricky questions, and Xia Mi resolved them one by one.
Gu Bei and Chu Zihang sat quietly eating snacks, thinking that it was actually not bad.
In the past, the two of them would definitely be the center of the conversation. A group of aunties would gather around them to ask if they had any girls they liked in college, and then they would pinch their faces and scratch their hair, etc. There would be no leisure time.
Now the two of them have finally retired.
A long-lost sense of relaxation filled their bodies, and the two of them were now officially over the Tokyo incident.
"What are your plans next?" Chu Zihang asked while eating potato chips.
Gu Bei was stuffing dried fruits into his mouth like a hamster: "Well...actually there are quite a lot of things going on, in various aspects...but there shouldn't be any big actions in a short time. Let's celebrate the New Year first."
"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded.
Su Xiaoyan, who was opposite, heard Gu Bei's words and said in surprise: "Xiao Bei, are you celebrating the New Year at home this year?"
"What if nothing happens?" Gu Bei said, but in fact it was unlikely that anything would happen.
Things in Tokyo need to be handled by the Jakihachi family themselves, and things in Cassel will have to wait until the next semester after the year, and there is still nothing they can do now.
There may be some things going on over there at Nadutong, but they are just trivial matters. There has been no movement from the Five Families for a long time. I don’t know what these guys are planning secretly.
But even if you plan something, it will have to wait until next year to be implemented.
Gu Bei didn't think that a traditional family like the Five Families would take action on a day like the Spring Festival.
From this point of view, Gu Bei can actually rest peacefully until the end of the year.
But before that, Gu Bei still had two things to solve.
First, regarding the improvement of strength.
Gu Bei's weapon body got an opportunity to upgrade during the battle with Fujin Wuni. However, due to the circumstances at the time, Gu Bei forcibly interrupted the weapon body's victory.
Now that we finally have time, the upgrade of the body should also be put on the agenda. After all, whether they are hybrids or aliens, they are all groups that respect strength and prey on the weak.
As for the other thing...
Divination.
Gu Bei was very concerned about the failure of his spiritual sense. He was very sure that something was going to happen, and he still believed so until now.
But reality did not come true.
This was the first time Gu Bei's spiritual premonition failed.
He must find out what's wrong here.
Some people died, but not completely...
