I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 433 He is the person in the story...

Li Sangsang swallowed excitedly, felt for the money in his pocket and wanted to give Wei Lan eight cents on the spot.

"Don't worry, let's wait until I buy it again!" Wei Lan quickly resisted, "This matter is really uncertain."

At the door of Gu's house, Jiang Lihua frowned and looked back at Li Sangsang, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Let's go." Li Sangsang was stunned for a moment, then waved to Jiang Lihua with a sneer on his face: "You go first, I, I still have something to tell Wei Zhiqing."

Since the two of them were not on the same road, Jiang Lihua nodded, "Okay then."

 He nodded to Wei Lan again before leaving.

 Wei Lan turned her head and looked at Li Sangsang, "What's the matter?"

"That, that..." Li Sangsang hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing with excitement, "I heard..."

Before the words were spoken, Li Sangsang took a cautious look around. Wei Lan's black and thin eyebrows were knotted, mysterious, and he couldn't understand what Li Sangsang meant.

Li Sangsang felt relieved when he saw no one around, and took a step closer to Wei Lan, "I heard that you have beautiful fabrics here, and you can also sell clothes to others. I think, I think..."

 Li Sangsang tangled his hands together and twisted his body, "If I buy fabric from you and ask you to make it... just like what you are wearing, how much and the cloth ticket will it cost?"

Wei Lan's coat is egg yellow, a very tender and bright color.

The coat is not thick, and is somewhat designed to imitate a dress. There are small pleats on the chest, and the cuffs are tightened and tied with ruffles.

 This was bought by Wei's mother. There were several more similar designs in the box Wei Lan brought back from Beijing.

After figuring out what was going on, Wei Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "I can help you do it, but the cloth is gone now. If you can get some cloth, I'll charge you two cents for the crafting fee."

 I didn’t plan to collect money, but I was afraid that more people would turn around and come over. It wouldn’t be appropriate not to collect money then, and collecting money would cause controversy, so it would be better to set a threshold from the beginning.

Fabrics are difficult to obtain. If they were easy to obtain, the nearly 2,000 feet of cloth that Gu Chao brought back from the sea market would not be so popular. They were sold out within ten days of the first year.

Li Sangsang was disappointed for a while, and then asked expectantly: "Let me give it a try... If it is old clothes, can I change them?"

"Old clothes are worn. If you want to change them, you can only change them to smaller sizes, not bigger ones." Wei Lan answered truthfully, "By the way, who did you hear the news from? That I have cloth here?"

"Huh? This... Aunt Chunxiang said it casually last time when she came to my house to help my mother borrow a sieve. I listened to it."

 Li Sangsang smiled sheepishly, fearing that Wei Lan would think too much, so he quickly raised his hands and made a vow, "Don't worry, I keep my mouth tight and will never say anything outside!"

 After saying that, he looked pleading, as if he was afraid that Wei Lan would refuse.

 The wind direction outside has begun to change. All "not allowed" have developed into "allowed", and the situation is no longer as strict as before.

"I understand." Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled kindly, "If you want, just go back and make some cloth. If I have more cloth here, I will let you know."

"Great! Thank you Wei Zhiqing!" Li Sangsang jumped three feet high and rushed to the door with a single stride. She turned around and waved to Wei Lan, with a tanned face and smiling eyes. A crack, "Then I'll go back first, Wei Zhiqing, don't forget it! If there is a cloth... you have to tell me!"

“I know, just watch your feet.”

Wei Lan kindly reminded her, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Sangsang staggering, his toes reaching the threshold of the courtyard. If he hadn't quickly held onto the door frame, he would have flown out.

Li Sangsang was embarrassed to stick out her tongue, so she emphasized it again before jumping home.

 A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old couldn't help herself because of a piece of clothing that she was about to get or might not get.

　　Just like a long, long time ago, deep in my memory, I would take a shower and wash myself clean before New Year’s Eve, just to put on the long-awaited new clothes. Is it probably the same mood?

Wei Lan shook her head in amusement, feeling envious and nostalgic for no reason.

 In fact, her parents in another time and space were not entirely unkind to her.

 It’s just that everything changed after my younger brother was born.

 Her father's eyes would never stay on her, and her mother would always say: "You are the elder sister, you have to take care of your younger brother", "My younger brother is the backbone, he will support the entire Wei family in the future, and he will also be your support..."

 There are no big contradictions, but there are constant small contradictions.

When Wei Lan was a child, she felt it was unfair. As she grew up, she gradually realized that it was a matter of education.

 But the thorns in my heart are accumulated over time, and the estrangement that has arisen cannot be healed by a few words.

Wei Lan thought it would be impossible to open this knot in her life, but after seeing Li Sangsang's reaction, she suddenly felt relieved.

The scene comes to mind when she was six or seven years old, her father carried her on his shoulders, held her small hands in his big hands and spread them out, shouting "the plane is taking off".

 It’s not that they don’t love her, they just love their brother more.

 A blush appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes heated up, forcing Wei Lan to look up at the sky.

 The fish scale clouds half of the sky.

 The azure and white intertwined, fresh and clean, but Wei Lan felt dizzy.

Did it hit your eyes?

"Well..." Wei Lan frowned slightly, closed her eyes in discomfort, and her body was swaying and unable to stand.

Suddenly someone hugged her waist from behind, her back pressed against a strong and broad chest, and she smelled a familiar cold breath. Wei Lan softened her body and leaned on the man's chest, "It's broad daylight, why don't you go to the main entrance?"

"Those who cut through the road from the fourth team will be closer to the bamboo forest." Gu Chao said in a shallow voice, put his hands on Wei Lan's shoulders, and turned him around.

 The little girl’s eyes were red and her face was pale.

 Gu Chaojian frowned, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No." Wei Lan shook her head, "I was looking at the sky just now, maybe I was dazzled? I felt dizzy."

 Gu Chao couldn't do it, and he felt in his heart that Wei Lan hadn't had a good rest due to the back and forth in the past few days.

He led Wei Lan towards the room, wanting Wei Lan to have a good rest, but he couldn't pull her along halfway.

Gu Chao turned around, Wei Lan's body fell backwards, refusing to take a step forward.

His head shook in confusion, "What's wrong?"

 “I’m not sleepy, and I don’t want to sleep.” Wei Lan pouted.

Wei Lan is really not sleepy, but she always feels groggy in her head, as if something is pulling away, and something is pressing heavily on it, invading.

　　Although his tone is always coquettish, he is not as energetic as usual.

 Gu Chao’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and a slight worry filled his heart.

Wei Lan suddenly turned her gaze towards the kitchen.

The sun is tilted, and sunlight shines into the kitchen from the door.

 Bright and dazzling, making people feel warm.

 “Brother Chao…” she shouted softly.

"Um?"

Wei Lan lowered her eyes and said in a clear voice, "If you're not busy, would you like to sit with me for a while?"

"good."

   *

"I made an agreement with Jiang Lihua and Li Sangsang. I will be responsible for catching the small fish and shrimps. You can help me make a small fish basket for catching fish. The top of the basket should be smaller, and I can tie it with bamboo sticks separately. A tapered mouth... like this." By the back door of the kitchen, the bamboo shadows were swaying, the sunlight was slanting, and a handsome young man and a beautiful girl were sitting side by side on the threshold.

Wei Lan leaned her head crookedly on Gu Chao's shoulder, her small hand socket closed in a cone shape, and her other hand imitated a small fish, "Just like this, put the bait in the basket, and the fish and shrimp can get in from here, but they can't get out." .”

"Okay." Gu Chao nodded and wrote them down one by one, "I'll go chop the bamboo in a moment."

"Yeah." Wei Lan responded, the sun shining warmly on her body.

She yawned lazily, "We also agreed to go to the foot of the mountain tomorrow to see if there are any fungi."

"This season, there are many tea tree mushrooms and straw mushrooms." Gu Chao said lightly, touching Wei Lan's white and tender hand with his big hand, looking at the swaying bamboo forest behind the courtyard wall with his sharp and deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

“I hope we can get more. By the way, have all the pigs on other mountains been sold? We need some suet, can we get it?”

After briefly telling Gu Chao what they had discussed at noon, Wei Lan leaned on Gu Chao's shoulder, eyes squinting lazily, and then opened suddenly, as if someone who was about to fall asleep suddenly woke up.

"I can get it." Gu Chao tilted his head slightly, resting his chin on the top of Wei Lan's hair, and gently rubbed the rough and slender hair on the back of her hand, "If you feel sleepy, just take a nap and leave the rest to me, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chao felt his shoulders sink, and the unconscious girl fell into a deep sleep.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and it didn't last for a moment. Before he could reach out his big hands to pick up the little girl, the girl who had just fallen asleep suddenly sat upright.

Her dark and clear peach blossom eyes widened in shock, her pupils shrunk slightly, full of astonishment. They were different from their usual agility, looking weird and ferocious.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Gu Chao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Wei Lan was having a nightmare. He put his big hand on Wei Lan's shoulders and brought him into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Gu, Gu Chao!" The girl in her arms was shaking all over, and her voice was hoarse as if she hadn't spoken for a long time. "You are Gu Chao."

"Nanny?" Gu Chao noticed something was wrong, pulled away some distance, and looked carefully, only to find that the girl in his arms was pale, with a complicated look in her ferocious eyes.

 There is disbelief, fear, relief...

Also, resentment?

"It's me, Nannan, why are you..." Gu Chao's heart tightened, and he clamped his hands on Wei Lan's shoulders. Before he could finish his sentence, the beautiful girl asked again in a sad voice: "Why don't you come to me?"

These words were unreasonable. Gu Chao still felt that Wei Lan was frightened in his dream. His brows furrowed in worry and he whispered in a low voice, "Looking for you, I have been looking for you, and I have found you... Close your eyes, and then Open your eyes and take a look?"

 “I am right in front of you.”

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, her peach blossom eyes were filled with mist. Although her eyes were blurry with tears, her pupils were still shrinking in fear and refused to close her eyes.

She held Gu Chao's arm tightly, shook her head and repeated one sentence, "Look for me, find me, be sure to find me... I'm right there, right there, I'm right at the sea..."

There was a loud "rumbling" sound, accompanied by dazzling lightning, the sun disappeared, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and fine raindrops soon fell.

 It is the first rain in early spring.

Wei Lan shivered in fright, and her voice was swallowed up by the thunder.

His eyes widened in shock stared at Gu Chao, as if he wanted to carve Gu Chao into his mind.

Just when Gu Chao asked "What?", the little girl blinked, as if she had come back to her senses, her eyes flashed with clarity, and soon her body softened, and she fell into Gu Chao's arms.

"Nanny?" Gu Chao hugged Wei Lan and pushed her gently.

Like a drunk person, Wei Lan's body was as heavy as a pile of mud.

Gu Chao's heart was heavy, and his intuition told him that this was not a good situation.

Hurryly, he picked up Wei Lan and took her back to the room. Gu Chao turned around and found Grandma Gu.

Gu Chao anxiously explained the situation just now. Grandma Gu frowned and sat on the edge of the bed, clasped Wei Lan's wrist, closed her eyes and calmed down to feel her pulse.

After a while, Grandma Gu opened her cloudy old eyes and said, "She must be sleeping."

Gu Chao stood beside the bed. The sky outside was gloomy, the lights were not turned on in the room, and it was dark. Half of the **** the bed seemed to be hidden in the shadows.

"Grandma, she, she..." Gu Chao's voice was hoarse and intermittent, "My daughter's eyes are full of death... let me find her."

 If it is a dream, what kind of dream is it?

 Will there be such a look of terror and despair?

 Inexplicably, Gu Chao thought of many puzzling words Wei Lan once said.

 “Brother Chao, I had a dream…”

 “Do you believe that the people in the story will come back to life?”

“You and Youlan will really come back to life. I saw it. You are all real.”

"If one day you can't find me, or I become less like myself..."

 …

 Why is Wei Lan so sure of knowing the news that no one else knows?

　　Why everything Wei Lan said has been verified one by one.

 The people in the story…

 If this is the case, it seems that some of them can make sense.

Grandma Gu didn't see Gu Chao's gloomy expression and gently put Wei Lan's hand back on the bed, "Let's take a look after the girl wakes up."

"Okay..." Gu Chao lowered his head, his drooping hands trembled, and the next second, he clenched them suddenly.

After Grandma Gu left, Gu Chao silently sat by the bed, staring at the **** the bed with his deep eyes, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and his voice was depressed and heavy, "Nanny..."

 “Brother Chao?”

Wei Lan's eyelids trembled slightly, she slowly opened her eyes and met the eyes of the man beside the bed.

Her dark and slender eyebrows wrinkled, and she rubbed her temples uncomfortably, "Why is it so dark?"

He turned to look out the window again, "It's already raining? I thought it wouldn't rain until tomorrow."

 The sky is fish-scale, even if it doesn’t rain, it will be windy.

Wei Lan stood up holding the quilt and looked out the window for a while. She didn't hear what happened to Gu Chao for a long time. She was a little surprised and turned around, "Brother Chao, why..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chao held him tightly in his arms.

The man's chest was broad and strong, and the tip of his nose hurt when he suddenly bumped into it.

Wei Lan gasped with a hiss, and just about to struggle, she sensed that Gu Chao was in a depressed mood. She was stunned. She put her backhand around Gu Chao's waist, pursed her lips and whispered with a smile to comfort her, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chao has basically concluded that Wei Lan knew nothing about what happened before he fainted.

 However, he has already formed a certain understanding in his heart, and it is no longer possible to treat it as unknown.

  This chapter may seem nonsensical at first glance, but it is a small foreshadowing of a turning point!

I shouldn’t have said it originally, but I was afraid that people wouldn’t understand...
