Murong Xu narrowed his eyes and pushed his gla.s.ses. He looked at Murong Yunxi, feeling her response unexpected. He was very surprised that this cousin was so smart and keen, and such calm was very suitable for surviving in such a big family like Murong Family. The reason why he chose to study psychology and became a doctor was that, on the one hand, he really liked it, and, on the other hand, he didn"t want to partic.i.p.ate in the family compet.i.tion. Murong Family seemed to be at Murong Qingtian"s command, but there were hidden dangers and turbulence which couldn"t be seen by others. Just facing Murong Qingtian and Murong Ye, many people still had some cautions, but when facing a woman like Murong Yunxi, who seemed to be very weak and delicate, they just...
Murong Ye walked downstairs and sat down next to Murong Yunxi. He casually asked, "What are you talking about?"
Murong Yunxi looked at Murong Xu and said to Murong Ye, "Cousin is giving me a psychological examination."
Murong Xu elegantly smiled and said, "I can say for sure that Xiao Xi has no problem."
Murong Ye stuck and then chuckled. He said, "That"s good!"
In the afternoon, Murong Yunxi and Gu Yuxuan were having afternoon tea in the garden.
It had already entered the Slight Heat period, and the weather was unusually hot these days. Fortunately, the old house of Murong Family was on a hill, surrounded by green trees, so it was relatively cool in the shade of the green.
Gu Yuxuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Xiao Xi, high school cla.s.smates will have a gathering. Do you want to go?"
Murong Yunxi directly answered without thinking, "Of course not."
"But this gathering is actually specially organized for you. If you, the centre role of the party, don"t appear on it, then what"s the meaning of organizing it?"
"Oh, you know, I am always not interested in these, and my relationship with high school cla.s.smates is not so close."
"But you have been cla.s.smates for three years, anyway. That period of time is indelible. Don"t you ever miss those days?"
"Xuanxuan, just tell me the truth. Are they asking you to lobby me?"
Murong Yunxi no longer circ.u.mvented with Gu Yuxuan, and she just directly debunked Gu Yuxuan"s mind.
Gu Yuxuan was indeed appointed by high school cla.s.smates to lobby Murong Yunxi. Now that Murong Yunxi pointed out the truth, Gu Yuxuan felt even more relaxed.
Gu Yuxuan laughed and said, "Xiao Xi, our cla.s.smates had said that no matter what means I had to take, I must get you there, or they will block me."
Murong Yunxi glanced at Gu Yuxuan and said, "Are you pretending to be a superstar? Being blocked?"
"Oh, of course, I am not a superstar. You and Gong Yu are! Such a superstar, are you willing to show up at the gathering? Don"t let our cla.s.smates say that once you have a little fame, you begin to proudly act. That"s not what we are expecting."
"Proudly act? For what I would be proud of? You know, I really have something to deal with."
"Of course I know, but what I know is just a fart since other people don"t know. You have always been so low-key. But now, everyone thinks that it"s not low-key, but cold and indifferent."
"It doesn"t matter! I haven"t contacted them for a long time and I have nothing to do with them. They can think whatever they want."
"Xiao Xi, just a cla.s.smate gathering! Why so serious! You isolated yourself from others and there are only a few friends around you, you need to go out and move around. Besides, you haven"t been back to S City for four years. Just take this opportunity and go back to take a look."
Since Xiao Xi came to A City to go to college, frankly speaking, she had made few trips to S City. After his father"s death, she had gone back once, but that time she just went back and rushed to clean up the house and sold the house in S City. After having bought a small apartment in A City, she indeed never went back.
S City was where she lived for 18 years, and the city carried 18 years of her memory, as well as the memory of her mom and dad. She hadn"t seen them for a few years. Maybe it was time to go back and visit them.
Gu Yuxun looked at Murong Yunxi, who was looking at the cup in her hands. For a long time, she kept waiting but did not receive Murong Yunxi"s reply. She reached out her hand and pushed softly the arm of Murong Yunxi and inquisitively asked, "Xiao Xi, what are you thinking, so concentrated?"
Murong Yunxi suddenly returned to herself and shook her head, "I haven"t seen them for years."
Gu Yuxuan did not respond for a moment, and doubtfully asked, "Who are they?"
"My mom and dad. I haven"t seen them in these years. It"s time to get back to visit them."
"Ah? Xiao Xi, do you mean that you are willing to return to S City?"
"Yes, I want to see them."
"Then, are you going to attend the gathering party?"
"I will go. I don"t mind just going there and seeing them."
"Yes!"
Gu Yuxuan used her right arm to excitedly make a triumphant action, and it was difficult to hide the excited look on her face.
Murong Yunxi suspiciously looked at Gu Yuxuan, "Why are you so excited?"
"Oh... Xiao Xi, you don"t know that our cla.s.smates said that if I can invite you to come, everyone will give me three hundred yuan, and our Master Zhao will pay a thousand yuan. I am kind of making a lot of money!"
"What! Gu Yuxuan, I have known you for so many years, now you just sold me like this?" Murong Yunxi asked Gu Yuxuan, pretending to be angry.
Gu Yuxuan immediately smiled with some guilty conscience. She said, "Xiao Xi, you know me best! How can I sell you! Since attending the gathering will not harm you, I promised to lobby you and I do want you to leave home and take a walk. I want you to get back and gather with old acquaintances. Don"t always be alone. If it is really something selling you out, I will not sell you no matter how much they give me! Three hundred? Even they give me 30 million yuan, I will not betray you. But this time, now that they are willing to pay, I am naturally willing to accept it."
Then Gu Yuxuan smiled, grinning. Her smile was kind of heartless so that Murong Yunxi did not intend to argue anything with her. Murong Yunxi clenched her fist and hit on the shoulder of Gu Yuxuan.
Gu Yuxuan immediately appealed to Murong Yunxi"s arm, and intimately rubbed her head on Murong Yunxi" shoulder. She said, "Xiao Xi, we have agreed on this plan and you"ll really go, right?"
"Well, I will go with Gong Yu and let Gong Yu see my parents as well."
"Okay, then I am responsible for arranging the plane tickets."
Two days later.
Murong Yunxi, Gong Yu, Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu set foot on the land of S City.
Out of the airport, Murong Yunxi looked around. The changes in S City in a few years were not big. For this familiar city, Murong Yunxi was really nostalgic. She tightened the arms holding Gong Yu. It was in this city that she got the chance to know Gong Yu and now she brought him to the city for the first time.
An SUV directly stopped in front of the four people, and Murong Yunxi frowned slightly and looked into the car.
Zhao Qi came down from the driver"s seat and smiled and walked to Murong Yunxi and her friends.
"Old cla.s.smates, I haven"t seen you for a long time!"
Gu Yuxuan was the first to speak with Zhao Qi and said h.e.l.lo. She knew Zhao Qi would pick them up early, so she was not surprised, "Zhao Qi!"
However, Murong Yunxi, who did not know that, slightly shocked and then picked up a faint smile, "Long time no see, my old cla.s.smate."
Zhao Qi turned his eyes and looked at Gong Yu, and the smile on his face was stiff. Although he had already heard the news of the two people getting together from the news, seeing them standing in front of him still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhao Qi handed his right hand and said, "Gong Yu, h.e.l.lo!"
Gong Yu lightly shook hand with Zhao Qi and said, "h.e.l.lo."
Although the two men looked calm and indifferent, no one was able to detect their inner movement.
Zhao Qi then turned his head and looked at Murong Xu. He smiled and asked, "Gu Yuxuan, don"t you introduce him?"
Gu Yuxi took the arm of Murong Xu and smiled and said, "My boyfriend, Murong Xu."
Murong Xu politely nodded to Zhao Qi and greeted him.
"Well, get on the car. I have arranged everything."
Although Zhao Qi was also often in A City, his parents were in S City in most of the time, so it seemed that it was not surprising that he acted like a host, treating them.
The cla.s.s gathering was arranged on the second day, and today"s banquet should be a private one from Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi took the several to a chain hotel belonging to his family, in which he had arranged food and accommodation for them.
In the VIP room of the hotel.
A table of wine had been in place. After they were seated, Zhao Qi raised the gla.s.s and said, "Come, I will respect the two old cla.s.smates first. Both of you moved to A City. Now, in S City, I will be the one who plays as the host."
Gu Yuxuan was the first to dissatisfy. She said, "What kind of host you are? Xiao Xi and I are both growing up in S city. Even if we are not in S city now, we still belong to S City."
Zhao Yi heartily smiled and said, "Well, my fault. I said the wrong words. Then respect to our old cla.s.smates for meeting each other for the first time in the past year!"
After the words, Gu Yuxuan picked up the gla.s.s and stood up. Murong Yunxi slightly picked up a cup of white water.
Zhao Qi"s smile suddenly converges and said, "Xiao Xi, you are so... Over these years, your drinking capacity has never improved."
Murong Yunxi slightly smiled and said, "You know how much I can drink. I have no way to improve it! Forgive me."
Zhao Qi turned to look at Gong Yu and said, "Since Xiao Xi can"t drink, our big star Gong Yu should do that for her!"
Gong Yu heard Zhao Qi"s words and took a glimpse of Zhao Qi, then raised the gla.s.s in front of him, and drank it.
Zhao Qi also drank the wine from the cup, but Gu Yuxuan stood on the side felt somewhat awkward. Both men dried the wine. She had no idea whether she should finish the wine or not.
Murong Yunxi sat down and took Gu Yuxuan to sit down. After Murong Yunxi sat down, she said, "Xuanxuan, we are all cla.s.smates. We know what you mean and that"s enough."
Zhao Qi picked up the chopsticks and said to them, "Come, everyone is welcome. Enjoy yourself. If that"s not enough, we can order more."
After the polite words, Zhao Qi poured another gla.s.s of wine and turned to look at Gongyu and said, "Our big star Gong Yu, although our Xiao Xi has married to you, you can"t just go away without paying anything. We are all her old cla.s.smates, just like her family members. You have to have a drink with her family."
Zhao Qi"s face looked a little strange. Gong Yu slightly frowned and then he picked up the gla.s.s in his hand and said, "You"re not the one who decides who is Xiao Xi"s family. But I will drink this cup of wine just for thanking your treat."
Zhao Qi"s face couldn"t help but turn gloomy. He turned to look at Murong Yunxi and said, "When I met Xiao Xi, you still don"t know where she is."
"So what? Now she is my wife, and this seems to be more important."
"But I like Xiao Xi earlier than you!" Zhao Qi"s tone was getting more and more urgent, and it was hard to hide his unwillingness to accept the result.
Gong Yu"s face became more and more gloomy with his fingers tightly holding the gla.s.s. His anger was already very obvious.
