Chapter 69: Cross me (Chongyang Festival Ancestor Ceremony (1)...)

Chapter 69 Chongyang Festival Ancestor Ceremony (1)
The Double Ninth Festival on the Ninth and Ninth of the Lunar Calendar, also called the ancestor worship festival and the climbing festival, has been circulated since ancient times, and there has been a saying of "every time inserting cornus and one less person".
If you don’t go home to visit relatives at other times, you can still say that you are busy with work. This year's Double Ninth Festival coincides with a weekend day off.
Probably because of this, the traffic volume on the K city road has increased by 30%.
Therefore, from the villa area to Gu Yuan's house, the original half-hour drive took an hour. When Luo Xiu drove, Gu Nian sat in the co-pilot, and when he went downstairs to Gu Yuan in the warm sunshine at the end of October, the little girl in the co-pilot seat had been nodding her head in her seat belt and dozing off for a long time.
Luo Xiu stopped the car and leaned on the side with a smile while leaning on the steering wheel, earnestly looking at every breath of the little girl into his eyes, as if reluctant to let it go.
Gu, who was in the evil dragon's den, was unconscious and fell asleep more peacefully after parking.
Time flows silently.
I don't know how long it has been before, suddenly there was a vibration in the silent car. Luo Xiu frowned, took out his mobile phone in a rare move, and when he hung up the call, he turned to mute and raised his head to watch Gu Nian's reaction.
Didn't wake up.
Luo Xiu smiled helplessly, then noticed something, and glanced down at the phone screen.
A new message.
[Answer the phone]
Just looking at the series of numbers that didn't look like electricity, Luo Xiu could guess who it was. With a flick of his finger, a message flew back.
[Inconvenient, I have something to say. ]
[I'm on the way to dye, it is more inconvenient to send and receive messages]
"..."
Luo Xiu frowned and looked back at the passenger seat. Gu Nian slept peacefully and seemed to be unable to wake up for a while.
Luo Xiu took off his seat belt and silently opened the door and got out of the car.
A call was made during the process.
"What's the matter?" Luo Xiu leaned against the front cover of the car, blocking the sunlight falling on the girl's eyes.
"What else can you sacrifice to the ancestor today, when will you go home?"
"In the afternoon or evening."
"...Why don't you come back?"
"Okay."
"When the time comes, people will disappear, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"..."
Luo Xiu faded his fake smile and looked back into the car. The little girl was sleeping soundly while holding the seat belt.
Luo Zhan: "What are you doing this morning?"
Luo Xiu: "Send her home, just got downstairs."
Luo Zhan: "Why don't you just leave after delivery?"
Luo Xiu had a meal and said mildly: "I now know your father-in-law who had passed away after year-end, why every time I see you, I want to kick you away from Tang Ran."
Luo Zhan: "..."
Young Master Luo, who was poked in a rare sore spot, was a bit irritable, and laughed coldly through the phone: "I don't have this trouble. Lan Jingqian has been taken abroad by Tang Shiyu to make up his honeymoon. Ranran is now my own. Envy?"
Luo Xiu: "..."
I don't want to talk to my primary school chicken brother.
The two brothers were in a stalemate over the phone, and finally reluctantly reached an agreement: Luo Xiu must show up at Luo's house on time at 3 pm at the latest.
Luo Xiu turned around after the phone call, only to find that the girl in the car was holding the phone with the camera facing him.
Gu Nian, who was found in the sneak shot, had no consciousness of being caught. She sat in the car window, bending her eyes and smiling brilliantly.
Luo Xiu walked to the passenger seat and opened the car door: "Why don't I get down when I wake up?"
"Look at you on the phone, don't bother you." Gu Nian walked out of the car with a triumphant expression of "I'm good, right?"
"Don't bother me, just take pictures of me?"
"Well, isn't it possible for a girlfriend to take pictures?"
"..."
Luo Xiu laughed.
"Okay," he lifted his left hand and took the girl out of the car door, closed the door with his right hand, and took the opportunity to push the person to the car door and kissed him, "whatever you want."
Gu Nian wanted to hide, and while Luo Xiu retreated, she blushed and slipped out and ran: "This is outside, pay attention to your idol baggage!"
Luo Xiu smiled and turned to follow.
Upstairs in the same unit.
In the mahjong room of a certain wife.
In the background sound, the mahjong tiles were rubbed up and down, waiting for the two shifts to sit by the balcony window and chat.
Until someone accidentally caught a glimpse of something from the third floor window, he clicked on the window glass: "Hey, there is a good car parked at the door of our unit."
The other also tilted his head and looked out: "What car?"
"do not know."
"If you don't know you, it's a good car?"
"You don't understand, this is a good car, but its appearance is different."
"That's true……"
"The young man who came down is a fresh face, I haven't seen it. Do you know Lao Zhang?"
"Let me see……"
"So young, maybe whose new son-in-law is?"
These words caught the attention of the four ladies at the mahjong table who were busy building the Great Wall. Someone smiled and shook their heads: "New son-in-law? This is enviable. The disobedient one in my house was killed no matter what I said. Don’t fall in love or get married."
"So is that brat in my house."
"Sister Aiyuan, what about your Xiaonian, she is the most beautiful girl in our community."
Gu Yuan stopped touching the mahjong tiles for two seconds, and then moved to the end of the tiles. "Young people, don't worry about our age. You can't worry about it."
"Ha, Sister Yuan, didn't you say that before? What's the matter, this is?"
"..."
Before Gu Yuan spoke, Lao Zhang, who was lying by the window and peering down, suddenly patted his legs: "I know him!"
The other five people in the room were taken aback by various degrees, and the closest person smiled: "I know you know, your son-in-law is so excited?"
"Go, go, how old my daughter is, but she really met through my daughter."
"what?"
"She was silly with a mobile phone every day before, and she even made a picture of a TV star as a screensaver. If she said she was an actor, this one is downstairs!"
The rest of the people in the room became interested. Except for Gu Yuan, the other three got up and walked to the window.
"actor??"
"real or fake?"
"Let me see."
"That young man is really good-looking, can I still admit his mistake with such a face?"
Lao Zhang turned back dissatisfied by the window, Yu Guangzheng caught a glimpse of Gu Yuan grabbing mahjong and getting up, looking towards the outside of the room.
Old Zhang was stunned: "Yuan'er, you have only come down for a while? Why go?"
"I forgot that the fire of the soup at home is not turned off, go up and have a look, you guys have fun."
"Oh well, then you can take a look."
"Ok."
As soon as Gu Yuan left with her front foot, a sharp-eyed person in the sign by the window said, "Hey, a little girl in the co-pilot has come down."
"Are you familiar with it?"
"It's quite familiar."
"Isn't this a little bit from Sister Yuan's house!"
"……What?!"
Only then did the brand team react, but after looking back to find someone, Gu Yuan had already left.
five minutes later.
In the hallway of the residence, Gu Yuan took what Gu Nian was holding: "Didn't I tell you that I don't need to come back? Why did you come back?"
"Luo Xiu said that I must come back to see you on Respect for the Aged Day." Gu Nian smiled and blinked at Gu Yuan. "And I won't be tired after coming back. You don't have to worry about me."
"Who is worried about you?"
"Then why don't you let me come back?"
"It's one aspect of delaying my playing mahjong." Gu Yuan raised her head and looked at Luo Xiu who walked in the hallway, frowning and returning to her gaze. "You two, especially him, didn't pay attention at all when you came out. You are not afraid of being recognized on the road. Come out?"
Gu Nian was startled, and looked back at Luo Xiu anxiously for two seconds, then she turned back: "It's okay. Anyway, we haven't gotten off the bus during our visit today."
Gu Yuan sneered, "Didn't get out of the car? Those who are playing mahjong with me must come and question me at the latest today and tomorrow."
Gu Nian was surprised: "Is it seen?"
Gu Yuan: "What do you mean."
Gu Nian: "..."
While turning around to pick up the gift box in Luo Xiu's hand, Gu Nian whispered to Luo Xiu, "I said to be careful outside. My mother and her friends recognized you."
"It's ok."
"How can it be okay?" Gu Nian seriously denied, "You don't have a recognized masterpiece yet. If you are photographed at this time and gossip gossip, then you will be nailed to the vase label of'fame by hype scandal' in the future. It’s hard to remove it."
Luo Xiu was amused by Gu Nian's serious expression: "It's too inappropriate to be paid if you care so much. Why should you be my agent?"
Gu Nianyi moved for two seconds, then quickly shook his head: "No."
"why?"
"In case the things we were together together spread out in the future, this would be the guard who stole it."
Luo Xiu smiled and stopped, "'What if'?"
"Well, what's the matter?"
Gu Nian turned her head indifferently, and met Luo Xiu's thoughtful eyes. She was silent for a few seconds, and slowly showed a vigilant look: "We have said that before your career enters a stable period, you will not announce your relationship."
"Everyone has acquiesced in "The Golden Edition"."
Gu Nian waved his hand: "It's a variety show. It's normal to be a cp in the circle. Not many fans will take it seriously."
"..."
After the silence, Luo Xiu slowly evoked a gentle and harmless smile: "I thought we were in a relationship, but you were scrambling cp with me?"
"?"
Gu Nian smiled and blinked innocently. After being stared at by someone's increasingly evil eyes and gradually guilty, she quickly said: "I don't have it. How could it be possible? You misunderstood."
"Is it."
"It's true!"
"..."
Luo Xiu seemed to believe, smiled and nodded slightly, and took a step closer to Gu Nian.
It’s about the survival instinct cultivated in the evil dragon’s den for a long time. At a certain second, Gu Nian moved in his heart and swished back half a step.
It happened to stagger Luo Xiu's hand that blocked her retreat.
"Wow."
Gu Nian sincerely sighed for her flexibility. But she regretted it after sighing.
Gu Nian raised his eyes, met Luo Xiu's gaze, and saw that a corner of the man's eyes was lifted up in boundless tenderness, revealing a certain desire that was turned back by her escape.
Gu Nian: Oh, it's worse.
Without any hesitation, Gu Nian turned around and ran to the kitchen where Gu Yuan was in. While running, she acted in a one-man show with an eloquent voice: "Ah? Mom, call me mom? Do you ask me to help?"
"Huh? Who called you?"
"Oh, washing the vegetables, it's coming."
"..."
Luo Xiu stood on the spot, taking his breath slowly, and suppressed the ups and downs of emotions in his eyes that were provoked by Gu Nian.
When he calmed down, he lifted his eyes slightly, looking at the girl's faint figure in the kitchen helplessly and thoughtfully.
?
As a diligent and omnipotent member of the previous generation, Gu Yuan is different from the same age and has no cooking skills. From a young age, he destroyed countless pots and pans at home, leaving a lot of shadow on Gu Nian's young heart. In the kitchen for disaster, only others can't think of it. Without Gu Yuanda, it can't be achieved. It can be called a "kitchen killer."
And probably as a proof of her own daughter, Gu Nian inherited this "talent" perfectly, and even has a faint momentum to carry it forward.
In the kitchen, the two declined Luo Xiu's request for participation on the grounds that "Luo Xiu is still a guest", and tried to prepare a big meal for half an hour, but the results were very dismal.
Luo Xiu cooks the final lunch.
The mother and daughter could only sit awkwardly in the living room.
Gu Yuan asked: "Does your boyfriend cook deliciously?"
Gu Nian solemnly gave a thumbs up: "Extremely powerful."
Gu Yuan wondered: "Didn't Lin Nantian say that he is a weird heir? How can he still cook for himself?"
Gu Nian: "When he was a child, he lived abroad for a long time, and then he was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage because of careless food poisoning by the caregiver. Stomach disease was the root of the fall."
Gu Yuan coughed.
Gu Nian took care of his mother's face, and jumped over before he heard: "Later, he started to try cooking according to his own preferences. And because the people taking care of him changed batch by batch, it was difficult to adapt to the taste every time, right?"
"Listening to Lin Nantian telling me, I thought I was a pampered young master, so it sounds pitiful when I was a child."
Gu Nian nodded vigorously, and then asked curiously: "But last time you called him, he didn't cook. Did you cook the food?"
Gu Yuan sternly said: "Occasionally I can still perform well."
Gu Nian's mouth twitched: "If you say that, then I have to wonder whether he entered the hospital last week because he drank alcohol or because he ate the food you cooked."
Gu Yuan: "..."
Gu Yuan looked at the kitchen for a while, not knowing what she thought, her eyes turned back complicatedly, and she looked up and down at her precious girl.
Gu Nian was stared uncomfortably, and she shrank back: "Why do you look at me like this?"
Gu Yuan: "I set you three rules for finding a boyfriend, do you remember?"
Gu Nian tried his best to recall: "Don't be too handsome, don't be too rich, don't be too deep in the city."
Gu Yuan patted her: "I will take all three of them, so I'm good."
Gu Nian: "..."
Gu Nian was unconvinced: "Then don't blame me, blame you for choosing inappropriate conditions."
"Which is not suitable?" "Which is suitable?"
"Look, he is handsome, has money in his family, and his mind is not shallow. In case someone bullies you in the future, there is nowhere to go."
"Luo Xiu is not that kind of person," Gu Nian snorted softly, "You suspect that I look at people's eyes."
"I don't doubt you," Gu Yuan lifted her chin toward the kitchen, "I doubt him."
Gu Nian: "..."
The war spread all the way to the table.
Luo Xiu noticed that taking advantage of Gu Yuan's time to answer a phone call in the room, he asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Nian glared: "My mother said you must be a ghost to be with me. You will wake up when the ghost runs away."
Luo Xiu was startled and smiled.
Gu Nianmu raised his eyes with a face: "You are still smiling."
Luo Xiu: "So you want to ask me, why would I like you?"
Gu Nian nodded.
Luo Xiu pondered for a few seconds, lifted his eyes and looked at Gu Nian: "Like is a process. When I mention this word, I can think of many scenes, all related to you, and only related to you. I don't know the reason, but I know it won't. The result of the change."
Before this answer, Gu Nian's face was slightly hot, and after a pause, she still couldn't bear to ask in a low voice, "Then do you know a rumor about you?"
"I?"
"Well, about the identity of your Luo family."
"What rumor?"
"Hmm. They all say that the eldest master of the Luo family has no desires and desires, and is dedicated to becoming a monk." Gu Nian looked at Luo Xiu, "Is it true?"
Luo Xiu smiled and looked down, "It's true."
Gu Nian: "!"
Luo Xiu couldn't help but smiled and touched her head in the horrified eyes full of skills that had transitioned from "how could this happen" to "Are I going to be a widow?"
"Don't think about it, that was before you met you."
"...?"
Gu Nian's frozen eyes slowly warmed up.
Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled softly, "Before I met you, I didn't care about life and death, desire, hope, and the world. No one or anything can make me feel like belonging. No need and no scruples can only breed evil thoughts. So I want to become a monk. It doesn't matter whether the Buddha or Taoism, as long as it can take away the sense of emptiness or let me find an answer."
"..."
As she listened, Gu Nian held Luo Xiu's hand subconsciously, as if he would disappear in front of her in the next second.
Perceiving Gu Nian's uneasiness, Luo Xiu smiled and sighed, and then shook her hand, then interlocked his fingers: "Don't be afraid."
Gu Nian was still uneasy: "Will it not be anymore?"
"No, because I have found my answer."
"what is the answer?"
"you."
"..."
Gu Nian was startled.
Before she could reply, the man's eyes were soft and dark, and a bit of long restrained desire came up lightly. He lowered his eyelashes, half-shielded his eyes, and finally loosened the chains of the sleepy dragon.
Luo Xiu held the back of the chair behind the girl, letting him kiss Gu Nian's soft lips.
"Buddha does not cross me, you cross me... Nian Nian."
"boom."
The sound that came back suddenly in a certain second made Gu Nian wake up and take off.
She turned her head back flushed.
Gu Yuan stood in front of the restaurant with a complex expression.
Looking at each other in silence for a few seconds, Gu Yuan pointed to the room door nonchalantly: "Or, I will go down and push a table of mahjong first and then come up?"
Gu Nian: "...!"
