The Reluctant Bride

"Gu. Mayor Gu?" Chen Xinyi blushed suddenly: "Hello. Why are you here?"

Gu Xuewu did not answer her question. He looked at the sun above his head, and then at the two red clouds flying on Chen Xinyi's face. His eyebrows were slightly frowned: "What's the matter with you?"

He had just met the executives of several large companies, and when he passed by, he saw Chen Xinyi standing on the side of the road in a daze, with an embarrassing smile on his face from time to time. The car drove a long distance, but the person in the rearview mirror remained motionless.

Thinking of the relationship between Chen Xinyi and Zuo Panqing, the two are considered relatives, so he turned the car back.

Chen Xinyi smiled awkwardly, and pointed to her foot: "My heel is stuck."

Only then did Gu Xuewu understand why she stood still there. He looked at the a-line skirt she was wearing. The September sun was still very venomous, and Chen Xinyi's face was sweaty.

He suddenly squatted down and stretched out his hands to her feet without raising his head: "You took off the shoes on your feet and held my shoulders."

"Uh. Mayor Gu?" Chen Xinyi was startled by him and didn't even know how to react.

"Hurry up." Gu Xuewu looked up at her: "Or do you want to continue to be a statue?"

"Trouble you." Chen Xinyi's face was about to burn, and he took his feet out of the stiletto sandals, and Gu Xuewu pulled the shoe hard at this time.

The shoes came out, and the heel was a little worn off. Put the shoes in, stand up straight: "Okay."

"Thanks, thank you." Chen Xinyi was really embarrassed. He was half squatting, and she just held his shoulder. At this moment he stood up, and she held his shoulders, turning her head up to look at him. .

He is so tall. Are the people in their family so tall? My heart beats faster. Lowering her head, she let herself turn her attention back to her feet.

Put on your shoes quickly. She stood up straight, took a step back, her expression still uncomfortable: "Thank you Mayor Gu, for bothering you."

"It's okay." The sun is still a bit big, and the pedestrians coming and going on the road hurriedly walked past, and looked at the two people with curious eyes. Gu Xuewu's eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"Where are you going? I'll see you off."

"No need." Chen Xinyi shook his head: "Why are you embarrassed to trouble you?"

"It's okay." Gu Xuewu glanced at his car on the side of the road: "Let's go."

He got in the car first. Chen Xinyi bit her lip, and finally chose to follow behind him, got into the car, and put her bag on her leg, a little embarrassed.

Gu Xuewu didn't seem to see the uncomfortableness on her face: "Where are you going?"

Speaking of the newspaper's address, Chen Xinyi felt that the mayor was not only young, but also very approachable: "Thank you, Mayor Gu."

Gu Xuewu just started the car silently and drove. Chen Xinyi looked at his beautiful side and suddenly felt that his heart was beating a little fast.

Putting her hand on her chest, in order to hide her uncomfortableness, she tried to relax the atmosphere: "Mayor Gu, how do you drive by yourself? Don't you have a driver?"

"No." He likes to drive by himself. Occasionally, because of work needs, he will ask Secretary Chen to follow, and Secretary Chen is a little bit stubborn. He will never let himself drive when he gets in the car.

"Oh." Chen Xinyi didn't know what to say, thinking of the interview a few days ago.

"Mayor Gu, did you read the C City Morning Post interview about you yesterday?"

"Watched. Good job."

"Thank you." Chen Xinyi stuck out his tongue: "In fact, I really want to thank you. I agreed to let me interview. This allowed me to pass the customs smoothly and became a formal worker."

"Your own efforts. It has nothing to do with me." A light tone, an attitude completely irrelevant to him.

Chen Xinyi couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she turned her head and looked out the car window.

The car stopped in front of the newspaper office. Chen Xinyi got out of the car with her bag and waved to Gu Xuewu in the car: "Thank you Mayor Gu, I really troubled you too much today."

"You're welcome." Gu Xuewu didn't even look at her. Start the car directly, turn around and leave.

It's really cool and handsome. Chen Xinyi admired in her heart, and had a good fight with her cousin.

Thinking of Gu Xuewu bending over to fetch shoes for her today, Chen Xinyi's heart beats like a deer.

It's just that the heartbeat didn't last long, and Chen Xinyi thought of another thing.

How could no woman like such a good man? I'm afraid that someone already has a girlfriend.

"I told you to think about it." Chen Xinyi patted her head vigorously: "Don't dream. Let's go."

At the right time, a colleague came back from an interview and saw Chen Xinyi waved his hand: "Xinyi, are you back?"

"Ok."

Chen Xinyi laughed, and got rid of all the time he shouldn't have, and went into the newspaper with his colleagues.

……………………

Bayin Lake.

Yihu Erjian also has a music park. Free admission. Visitors can rent a boat here to tour the lake. Then enjoy the scenery in the park.

On a small road paved with bluestone, the willow trees on both sides were blown by the wind, and the branches were light and graceful.

Zuo Panqing hasn't come out to play for a long time, and he's very excited. No matter the sun is still venomous, he takes a cell phone and shoots left and right.

Gu Xuewen and Gu Xuemei didn't like taking pictures. Every time they saw her, they would avoid the camera subconsciously. It makes her feel very boring.

After walking for a while, Zuo Panqing stopped shooting, turned around and walked to the side of Gu Xuemei and followed.

"Sister. Do you know why this lake is called Bayin Lake?"

Gu Xuemei looked at Zuo Panqing as happy as a bird, with a smile on her lips: "I think about it. This eight-tone should mean that there are eight sounds that can be heard here. Right?"

"Wow. Sister, you are so smart." Zuo Panqing nodded and exclaimed: "Then do you know which octave it is?"

"I don't know." Gu Xuemei shook her head, and Zuo Panqing quit: "Guess it, it's okay to guess."

"Yeah. That's okay." Gu Xuemei glanced at the environment she was in. There were willow trees on both sides, and the rockery and flowing water built in the park on the right. The lake is on the left.

Tourists are rafting on it. Very comfortable.

"The sound of wind. The sound of bamboo. The sound of birds. The sound of water." Gu Xuemei said four in one breath, and then shook her head: "This is what I just heard. There are too many, I can't think of it anymore."

"Wow. You are really amazing." Zuo Panqing was simply amazed: "You have never been here before, and you can say four kinds. Amazing, amazing."

"So there are four tones?"

"The sound of the piano. The sound of flowers. The sound of rain." Zuo Panqing was like a commentator: "The last one is the human voice."

"It's really special." Gu Xuemei nodded her head with a clear look. Zuo Panqing looked at her face, wondering: "Are you not curious about the sound of the piano?"

"I think there should be someone playing the piano here before, right?"

"That's right." Zuo Panqing nodded: "This used to be the place where the literati and inkmen gathered every day. I don't know how many people chant poems and make the right here every day. They enjoy the flowers and the lake. So some people play the piano. When it rains, it rains. The sound is very nice. It's like singing, so the eight tones are famous."

"Your little mouth, it would be a pity not to be a tour guide." Gu Xuemei smiled and joked. He raised his head and glanced at Gu Xuewen: "Xuewen, are you right?"

"Yeah." Gu Xuewen's eyes never looked away from Zuo Panqing's face, and he was inexplicably happy as he watched the look so bright.

"Being a tour guide?" Zuo Panqing shrugged: "That's fine. The current tour guides are not good, and they don't have a basic salary. They rely on commissions. If you want to get money, you have to let tourists buy things. ."

"There are also good ones." Gu Xuemei wanted to laugh again, and found that Zuo Panqing's expression was really rich: "According to your opinion, the tour guides are all earning ugly money?"

"Of course there are good ones." Zuo Panqing does not deny: "But if you want to make more money, you have to let customers buy things. I can't do it the least."

I heard that when tourists went to other places, a screen worth 8,000 yuan sold for 30,000 yuan. She would never earn that kind of money.

"Panqing, you are really interesting." Gu Xuemei was very happy, and turned to look at Gu Xuewen: "Study, I said you should quickly transfer back to Beidu and take Panqing home with her. At home, I think my parents and grandpa will laugh often."

Gu Xuewen frowned and returned to the northern capital? Not yet working: "Let's talk about it."

"Sister, the sun is so big. Let's take a rest in the front pavilion."

"it is good."

The three people went to the lake pavilion and sat down, and the wind on the lake surface was very cool. Zuo Panqing took the phone and started taking pictures again. Stopped suddenly. Take a look at Gu Xuemei.

"Sister, sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Okay. Go ahead." Gu Xuemei watched Zuo Panqing walk out of the pavilion and walk to her right, and instinctively called her: "Panqing, where are you going? Isn't the toilet over there?"

"Huh?" Zuo Panqing realized that she had gone the other way, and smiled at Gu Xuemei: "Look at me, I feel dizzy. Then I'll go."

Gu Xuemei shook her head, this Panqing really made her wonder what to say.

Turning around, she looked at Gu Xuewen deeply, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Sister. Have you been here?" He didn't know where the bathroom was, why would Gu Xuemei know.

"No." Gu Xuemei turned her face: "Isn't there a sign when I entered the door?"

"Signpost?" Gu Xuewen nodded, "The roadside is on the right. At that time Zuo Panqing was walking on the right. How did you see the sign?"

"I—" Gu Xuemei couldn't tell.

"Your luggage was not at the airport at all, and you did not come yesterday." Gu Xuewen pointed out a fact: "You have been in C city for a long time. No, or it should be said that you have never returned to Beidu since I got married and you came here. . You have been in city c for more than a month."

So she knows the origin of Bayin Lake, so she knows where the bathroom is, because she has been there before.

With a calm tone and a serious look, Gu Xuemei was stunned, completely unsure of what to say: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"As long as I want to, make a call and the airport can call up your records immediately." Gu Xuewen squatted down and looked directly at her.

"Sister, you have been in C city."

Gu Xuemei looked a little flustered, but only for a moment, she quickly recovered her calm: "Gu Xuewen, what are you doing? Can't I be in city c? Even if I come early, what's the matter? What does it matter? Why do you have to try criminals? Interrogate me?"

Gu Xuewen was silent, and clenched his hands into fists: "Who are you with? It looks like you have a good time and look good. Then someone takes care of you? Who is that person?"

"There is no one." Gu Xuemei's hands were twisted unconsciously: "I was scolded by the director just because I made a mistake in a report before, and I don't want to see people in a bad mood."

"that is it?"

"that is it."

Gu Xuewen didn't believe it, and looked at Gu Xuemei's face as if he wanted to see the name. Zuo Panqing came back at this time, she almost ran all the way into the pavilion with a thin layer of sweat on her face. The look is very happy.

As soon as I entered, I grabbed Gu Xuewen's hand with a look of excitement: "Gu Xuewen, great. The resume I submitted has responded."

Gu Xuewen looked at her holding her hand and was taken aback for a moment, but Zuo Panqing had already let go of his hand, and turned around to hold Gu Xuemei's hand again.

"Sister, I'm going for an interview. I'm going to have a job."

"Really?" Gu Xuemei unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he rushed in just now. At this time, she also smiled: "Then, do you want to be prepared?"

"Yes." Zuo Panqing just got out of the phone and received a call, which made her happy: "There are two companies, let me go for an interview. One is tomorrow morning, the other is tomorrow afternoon. Great. Yeah. "

Gu Xuewen looked at the unbearable joy on Zuo Panqing's face, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, just: "It's just an interview, don't you need to be so excited? At least I'll be hired first."

Zuo Panqing felt the cold water poured down by him, and stuck out his tongue: "Yes, yeah. I haven't written the horoscope yet. However, it's better to have an interview than nothing. And it's two companies. Will one family want me?"

"I think you will succeed in the interview." Gu Xuemei glared at her brother without a trace. How could it be such a blow to people's enthusiasm?

"Thank you sister, you are the best." Zuo Panqing turned around and made a grimace at Gu Xuewen: "Tell you, I will definitely be admitted. You wait for me."

Look down on her? Then she will show it to him.

"Hope." Gu Xuewen didn't give her any face, and the two faint words made Zuo Panqing vomit blood.

I couldn't help but pointed at Gu Xuewen with his hands on his hips, with a very firm expression: "Gu Xuewen, I tell you, I will go back today to make preparations. I believe I will succeed in the interview tomorrow. Humph."

With that hum, he raised his chin gently, with a face of reluctance. The eyes are full of fighting spirit. Gu Xuewen's eyes flickered slightly. Walked behind Gu Xuemei.

"It's late, find a place to eat."

"Well. Or call Xuewu to see if he has time. Let's have a meal together." Otherwise, Gu Xuewen will have another task tomorrow.

"You fight." Gu Xuewen's tone was light and not very enthusiastic.

Several people got in the car, and Gu Xuemei took out her mobile phone to call Gu Xuewu, but the secretary answered that he was in a meeting.

"We had to eat it ourselves." Gu Xuemei shrugged, "I forgot. Xuewu is now the mayor."

The three of them went home after dinner, and Zuo Panqing went into the study. She found out some of her original designs that were quite satisfactory.

Prepare your resume and credentials.

Thinking of Gu Xuewen's scornful attitude towards her. She was very upset. She decided that no matter what, she must find a job.

Thinking of doing it has always been her style, sitting at the desk and started drawing. I forget the time as soon as I paint. Gu Xuewen and Gu Xuemei had gone through three rounds of chess in the living room, and found that Zuo Panqing had not come out yet.

"Study Wen." Gu Xuemei pointed to the room: "I'm tired, so I go to bed first. Go and see Panqing, I've seen her in for a long time."

"it is good."

Pushing Gu Xuemei back to the room, she came out and put away the chessboard. Gu Xuewen went back to the room to take a bath. When he came out of the shower, he found that Zuo Panqing hadn't even returned to the room. Frowning, put a bath towel around his waist and walked towards the study.

Zuo Panqing lay there and was very engaged in drawing pictures, completely unaware of people coming in. Just like last time, the trash can was full of paper balls.

Gu Xuewen walked in, took the pen from her hand and said, "Sleep."

"What are you doing." Zuo Panqing was drawing seriously, and the pen was taken away suddenly. She stood up and grabbed it.

"Stop painting." Gu Xuewen pointed to the clock on the wall: "Look at what time it is? Go to bed first."

"No."

Zuo Panqing stubbornly wanted to grab the pen: "You take it, and I will finish this drawing."

It's hard to get inspiration, how can you make inspiration run away?

"It's the same if I paint tomorrow." Gu Xuewen just didn't give it to her. Not only that, he let go of the pen. Da Heng picked up Zuo Panqing and walked out of the study.

"Gu Xuewen, you put me down." Not sure if Gu Xuemei is in the living room, Zuo Panqing's voice is extremely small: "I want to finish painting."

"Sleep first."

Gu Xuewen was strong and couldn't allow her to refuse, holding her back to the room before letting go.

Zuo Panqing will return to the study to continue painting when she touches her feet. Gu Xuewen grabbed his arm.

"You are so disgusting to say." Looking at the arm he grabbed, Zuo Panqing didn't know what he wanted to do: "I said. I will go to bed after I finish painting."

"What time will you be interviewing tomorrow?" Gu Xuewen looked at her, his arm motionless.

"Ten o'clock in the morning." Zuo Panqing was about to grab his hand: "You let me go."

"How far are you from here to that company?"

"About an hour." Zuo Panqing didn't understand what he wanted to do: "Why are you asking so much?"

"Are you sure you don't sleep now, and you won't have dark circles tomorrow? Your condition will be better?" Gu Xuewen's voice was a little low, but what he said went straight into Zuo Panqing's heart.

"Uh--"

"This kind of thing is in normal times. I don't think you will succeed."

"Gu Xuewen." After all, isn't it the same to look down upon her?

"You really want to succeed in the interview. You can rely on the pictures you drew before. The most important thing is if you let your new boss see an employee with a haggard face. Will he use you at ease?"

"I--" Zuo Panqing's momentum dropped suddenly.

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Xuewen released her hand at this moment: "Go take a bath. Then go to sleep."

Zuo Panqing pursed her lips. Although he made sense, she was very unconvinced: "Speaking of which. Don't you look down on me?"
