Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Early in the morning of the New Year’s Eve, Gu Zheng went out to buy vegetables. Although there were only the two of them for the New Year’s Eve dinner, Gu Zheng decided to make a good table. There is still a sense of ceremony. Just look at the menu. He thinks it will be good next time Had to eat leftovers for days.
When he woke up, Gu Zheng had already returned from the vegetable market, stepped on a stool to hang stickers on the wall, and held a clothes hanger to hang a red lantern on the balcony. Next to the lantern was a dark tie fluttering in the wind, which had just been washed. with moisture.
Shen Ci'an supported his waist and sat down on the sofa. He finally understood the advantages of being young and the disadvantages of XP monsters. The day before, he had XX many times, which was harmful to his health. A poke on XP was like a shot of adrenaline, and he didn't feel it at all. tired.
Gu Zheng sat down with the cut fruit, and Shen Ci'an stepped on Gu Zheng's face as if in stress, and said in horror: "Please stay away from me now!"
"Why is your voice hoarse?" Gu Zheng held his ankle and kissed him carefully.
Shen Ci'an: "What do you say!"
He had the illusion that his whole body was being hollowed out, even if the lively New Year songs were playing on the TV, he couldn't lift his spirits at all. When he took the mirror, he found that the fundus of his eyes was blue. The urge to turn all the ties out and throw them away.
If it wasn't for work, he could really do it.
It is said that the best way to quit a certain hobby is to keep doing it until you vomit. If things go on like this, you will have as few desires and no extra thoughts about men.
Fortunately, today is New Year's Eve. He hasn't been in China for the New Year for a long time, so he is still in a good mood. When he is bored, he also wants to help Gu Zheng, but there is a piece of paper "Shen Ci'an, do not enter" pasted on the door of the kitchen No, he can only give up.
Take the mobile phone and start sending blessing messages one by one.
Yan Yue's circle of friends shows that she is located on a foreign island, a resort, and lives in a luxurious sea view villa. Looking around is the vast ocean that connects to the sky. With her slender thighs out of the country, he sent a few idiot expressions.
Yan Yue: [disgusting. 】
At this point, the system prompts him to join a new group chat.
Lily: [Happy New Year everyone! 】
Attached is a photo with a diamond ring in his hand, and the background is a large table of meals and the A4 big red envelope that shocked whoever looked at it.
Lily: [Oh, I picked two heads of garlic today, my hands are so tired. 】
Shen Ci'an: [Oh. 】
Yan Yue: [Congratulations on the engagement!I wish a happy new year and grow old together. 】
Then two exclusive red envelopes were issued.
Lin Ziting and Lily: [Sister!You are my own sister! 】
Shen Ci'an: [? ? ?Where is my red envelope!Where did my lucky money go!My good sister, the invincible beautiful girl in the universe, the most beautiful sister in the world, I am your real brother! 】
Yan Yue has left the group chat.
There was a burst of laughter in the group, and Shen Ci'an's chat message notification was blown up by a bunch of emoticons from Lily.
Shen Ci'an: [@林医师, your wife is crazy.Please take it away. 】
Lily: [Here should be @Gu Zong. 】
He was about to say that Gu Zheng was cooking, so he probably didn't have time to reply to the message at this time.
A text message alert was sent.
[Your account ending in xx received RMB 13140]
Screenshot sent.
Not long after, Lily sent the same screenshot, with a little yellow man in sunglasses.
Then his mobile phone received a collection message again.
[Your account ending in xx received RMB 52000]
In less than half an hour, he had already received more than ten similar text messages, and there was a ding ding ding sound in the group, but no one spoke, and all they sent were screenshots.
Until Gu Zheng said in the group:
[Brother, I sent you the password of my bank card privately. 】
Suddenly the group died down.
Lily: [I think this kind of comparison mentality in the group should continue and become one of the fine traditions of our group, a must-have event every year.I announce that the winner tonight is Mr. Gu!The prize is a sweet kiss from Shen Meiren, everyone applauds! 】
Lin Ziting: [Wife and I, QAQ, I don’t have this. 】
Lily: [You don't mind about the fairies, the loser is not allowed to speak! 】
At this moment, the kitchen door opened, and the scent wafted out. Gu Zheng was wearing an apron and ran up to him holding a spatula. Shen Ci'an thought he was calling for dinner. Who knew that Gu Zheng bent down and looked at him so quietly .
"What's the matter?" Shen Ci'an asked.
Gu Zheng pointed to his face, "The prize."
Shen Ci'an remembered Lily's message in the group, burst out laughing, leaned forward, and planted a kiss on his face.
Mr. Gu doesn't need to be coaxed, but the elementary school students need to be coaxed.
The TV was full of red light, and the second the Spring Festival Gala started, Gu Zheng put the food on time.Red wine paired with delicious food. Although there are not many people around, tonight is the most fulfilling New Year he has spent in these years.
Every dish is his favorite dish, Gu Zheng secretly wrote down all the dishes he usually likes to eat, even if he doesn't like spicy food, most of them are spicy food.
He spent New Year's Eve last year holding a bowl of instant noodles. Except for sending New Year greetings to his sister, he turned off all contact methods and isolated himself.Even though the psychological counselor at the time expressed his desire to accompany him to spend this important festival for his physical and mental health, he still refused.
Far away in a foreign country, the person he most wanted to be with during the New Year was not around. At least at that time, he felt that that person would never accompany him to spend the Spring Festival.
So he never imagined that the most unlikely dream would become a reality today, the smell of the food, the mellow aroma of the red wine, the shy kiss, everything is real and visible, right beside him.
In fact, he doesn't really believe in the word "whether extremely peaceful". Life is always ups and downs, but most of the time when you fall into the bottom, you can't get up again.
He didn't want to regard the crisis of his company as a beautiful turning point in his life, but it was true. If it wasn't for the crisis at the beginning, he would never have the courage to return to China.Once a person learns to escape and enters the comfort zone, it is difficult to change.
Gu Zheng received a call from Gu Weimin, and sat alone on the balcony for a long time, but Shen Ci'an didn't remind him.When he came back, there was a circle of reddish under Gu Zheng's eyes, which was faint and couldn't be seen clearly.
The elementary school boy still lacks love, he thought for sure.
But at least not in the future.
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The good news is that Step has agreed to cooperate, and the company's development has reached a new level." Shen Ci'an said to himself.
Gu Zheng was slightly surprised, "Have you checked my email?"
"I don't have a habit of prying into your privacy! You didn't turn off the computer at all, and I accidentally saw it!" Shen Ci'an hastily argued.
Step agreed to cooperate, and Shen Ci'an was not surprised by this at all. Based on Jia Zheng's talent and the success of 'Silver Fish', he would be surprised if the other party did not agree to cooperate.
But Gu Zheng said that this is not the good news he wants to say.
He made a fool of himself and asked Shen Ci'an to go downstairs to look at the things in the mailbox cabinet.It hadn't been cleaned up for a while, and the cabinet was full of messy things. He got a mail from Gu Weimin.
When I got home and opened it, I found that it was a check with no amount filled in.
I received a text message from Gu Weimin on my mobile phone.
[How much you want, fill it in yourself. 】
"He said that members of our Gu family don't need to envy others." Gu Zheng explained while organizing the things in the mailbox cabinet for him, "Although it is very simple and rude, the old man thinks he is very sincere."
Shen Ci'an reckoned that Gu Weimin knew that he was envious of Lily's red envelope, and couldn't help thinking that the old man was quite cute.The two fathers and sons are really a virtuous person, they are too competitive, they have to fight for the first place in everything.
With a wave of his pen, he filled in 9 in the check amount, took a photo and sent it to Gu Weimin.
After a while, Gu Zheng received a message.
Gu Weimin: 【Change your wife. 】
Shen Ci'an smiled and collected the check, and sent a voice message to Gu Weimin to express his gratitude, but also said that he did not need the money.Compared with money, it's better to find a day for everyone to have a meal together, and invite my sister, which also feels like a ritual of an engagement banquet.
What he envied was not money but the engagement banquet!
He really didn't believe in the word "Fujitailai" before, but today he believes it.Everything is moving in a good direction, including Gu Zheng finding an anonymous envelope in his pile of suspected spam letters.
When I opened it, I found that it was an invitation letter from the president of the International Medical Association.
"How did you get it for me!" Shen Ci'an said in surprise.
Holding the invitation letter, he couldn't help the joy in his eyes, and naturally thought that Gu Zheng got it for him.It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to go. The opportunity was really in front of him, and he felt like he was dreaming.
Gu Zheng shook his head.
Shen Ci'an suddenly remembered the phone call he received a few days ago, saying that there was a letter from himself, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
"There is something else." Gu Zheng shook the envelope, and a diamond necklace fell out of it.
It landed on the floor with a crisp sound.
Both of them were quiet for a while.
Gu Zheng looked at him with a very strange look.
The diamonds were real, but none of them could figure out who the hell would mail something so expensive in a plain envelope.
"Could it be someone I have a crush on? Besides you and Lin Ziting, who else knows that I want to go to this reception?" Shen Ci'an said to himself.
Gu Zheng pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly.
"Who knows? After all, the rotten peach blossoms around Brother Shen have never been broken. The necklace is so beautiful, do you want me to wear it for you?"
There was a strong smell of sour vinegar in the air.
That's what Gu Zheng said, but he kept holding the necklace in his hand and looking at it, without any intention of giving it to him.In any case, this thing was definitely not given by the old man who is the chairman of the Medical Association, and the person who gave it was definitely not innocent.
Due to the high price, Shen Ci'an didn't dare to accept it, but he didn't know what to do with it.
He didn't even have a way to go back.
If he wanted to withdraw, he could only go to the reception, and maybe he would know who gave the gift.As a result, he had to go whether he wanted to or not.
"Is the little brother jealous?"
Gu Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he said stiffly: "Why am I jealous? Isn't it just a limited edition necklace, what's so great about it."
The words were full of necklaces, Shen Ci'an laughed for a long time, and finally noticed something was wrong.
"How do you know it's a limited edition?"
Gu Zheng was suddenly at a loss for words, uncontrollably flustered, and stammered: "I saw it abroad two days ago, and I wrote it down by chance."
"No, is this very important? Why don't you think about which lover gave it to you, what does it mean when he gave you a diamond necklace, why don't you just give him an engagement ring, so you can propose anonymously!" The necklace was stuffed back into the envelope, as if to throw it away.
A person who could get a handwritten invitation letter from the chairman of the Medical Association, a name suddenly appeared in Shen Ci'an's mind.
He took out his mobile phone and looked through his information list. All the New Year wishes from his friends had filled his information list, and none of them said that they gave him a necklace as a New Year gift.
Until he started looking through his e-mail and remembered a school e-mail account that he hadn't logged in for a long time.
That was the email address he registered when he was abroad, and he never checked it after returning home.
I clicked on it and found that it was empty without any unread messages.
"By the way, where is my New Year's gift?" Shen Ci'an turned his wrist and spread his hand in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked away with some guilt, "I don't give any New Year gifts..."
The hand subconsciously stretched out to the trouser bag.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ci'an jumped up suddenly.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Gu Zheng's face turned pale for a while.
In a blink of an eye, there was a diamond necklace in Shen Ci'an's hand, which was exactly the same as the one in the envelope, and it shone dazzlingly under the light.
There are only two diamond necklaces in the world, and they are all in his hands now.
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth, agitated and frustrated at the same time, squatting on the ground with his hands in his hair.After all, everyone hopes that the gift they give is unique, which is also the meaning of the limited edition, but with so many people in the world, who would have thought that such a coincidence would happen to them.
"Brother, throw it away." Gu Zheng lowered his head and sighed, "I'll order someone to order one another day."
"Why?" Shen Ci'an faced the mirror, hung the necklace around his neck, and gently played with the pendant on it with his fingers, "I think it's very beautiful and unique."
Next to the diamond pendant is a slightly longer chip pendant, which was given to him by Gu Zheng when we were together, one high and one low, not only does not appear to conflict, but even has a kind of uneven beauty, it is a unique design .
One is the past, the other is the present, the two relationships are the same two people, each of which is worth remembering.
"I like it very much, thank you." Shen Ci'an said to Gu Zheng in the mirror.
The system prompts that he has received an email.
[Ann, happy new year.In Chinese, the name of the diamond is Si Lian.I know you probably won't come back, so I decided to come to you. 】
There was a knock on the door.
