Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Gu Fangyan's voice was low and cold, and his tone revealed traces of helplessness, as well as other fleeting and indescribable emotions.
But the content of the words is always moving.
Xie Fei's fingers left the button that was about to be pressed on the screen, and she raised her head with surprise and disbelief on her face: "You mean, take in Xiao Xihua and me together?"
"You feed the cat." Gu Fangyan lowered his eyes, raised his jaw slightly, and pointed to the cat bag on Xie Fei's back.
"Respect is worse than obedience, thank you Brother Gu!" Xie Fei put her schoolbag on her shoulders, folded her hands together, and bowed to Gu Fangyan.
It wasn't the first time he stayed at Gu Fangyan's house. Xie Fei didn't have any psychological burden. Besides, the last time he was drunk, Gu Fangyan didn't do anything to him, which was enough to prove that this person was a god who came down to earth and had no selfish desires.
Then, Xie Fei said, "Then the cat will sleep with me that night? I guarantee it won't disturb you."
"It sleeps in the living room by itself." Gu Fangyan said, his tone was as cold and indifferent as before, and after speaking, he stepped forward and walked in the direction of the community.
"You are so strict." Xie Fei murmured with a smile, and followed quickly.
The afterglow of the setting sun has faded, and the twilight and night are intertwined on the horizon, and the lights along the street are just beginning to come on.
The kitten in the cat bag kept meowing, with a trembling voice, revealing deep anxiety.Xie Fei was afraid that Gu Fangyan would be impatient, so she explained that cats are like this, usually roaming around and having fun, but once you put them in your bag and take them out, it's like killing them.
Gu Fangyan said "Mmm" flatly.
The cat bag Xie Fei chose is a space capsule model, with a transparent cover protruding outwards in the middle, and the milk beaver flower makes the neck climb up, but it is too short and small, barely revealing the tips of the ears.Gu Fangyan glimpsed it from the corner of his eye, and deliberately slowed down his pace. After staring at it for a few seconds, he raised his hand and tapped on the transparent cover.
The cat's ears were frightened and immediately retracted, curled up in the corner of the cat's bag, only a few hairs protruding from the ventilation hole could prove its existence.
"What did you do?" Xie Fei turned her head sharply.
"A leaf fell from it." Gu Fangyan put down his hand calmly, stepped forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Fei, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Xie Fei said "Oh" first, and then replied: "No."
"What do you want to eat?" Gu Fangyan asked.
Xie Fei thought for a while, and it happened to be the season for eating crabs recently, so she chanted the name of a series of dishes: "Curry crab, spicy crab, egg yolk crab..."
Gu Fangyan's face was paralyzed: "You will eat up the whole pond."
"After all, I've been thinking about it for a long time. If I catch crabs from a river, let alone a pond, I can finish them." Xie Fei dragged on, opened the app on his mobile phone, and entered the shop he often eats, " I'll have some dinner, do you want to eat?"
"It's up to you." Gu Fangyan carried the cat litter that Xie Feiti had slipped in his hand to make it easier for him to operate.
The positions of the two changed again, Xie Fei followed Gu Fangyan, lowered his head to pick and choose from the menu, and occasionally asked if you would like to eat this, without looking at the road, as if it was his tail.
After entering the community and going upstairs, Xie Fei, who had difficulty choosing, finally ordered dinner.
The next step is to choose a site for the milk beaver flower's nest and cat litter box.The cat litter box is placed near the bathroom for easy maintenance, while the cat litter...
Xie Fei looked around at the decoration and layout of Gu Fangyan's suite. It was cold and airy, the furniture was cold, and the metal and glass had a strong texture.The sunflower cat litter he held in his hand seemed inappropriate to be placed anywhere.
"Brother Gu." Standing under the bright light of the ceiling lamp, Xie Fei called Gu Fangyan in a daze.
The response came from the kitchen, and along with the sound of the electric kettle running, Gu Fangyan gave Xie Fei a "hmm" with a slightly rising end.
Xie Fei looked at the kitchen: "Where is the best place to put the nest for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Gu Fangyan: "Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Its name was just chosen." Xie Fei smiled, "It fits the occasion, doesn't it?"
But Gu Fangyan didn't comment on the name, and his words were neither salty nor weak: "If you arrange a nest for it, will it fall asleep?"
... This is simply soul torture.
Xie Fei stood there in a daze. According to his previous experience of raising cats, cats would regard any place as their own nest, except the one assigned to it.
If this was Xie Fei's house, he would definitely have slept in Ren Zhongqiu casually, but this is Gu Fangyan's house.
Xie Fei was very embarrassed, but at this time, Gu Fangyan's voice came again: "It can be placed next to the French window on the balcony."
"Then don't step on it when you go in and out!" Xie Fei naturally obeyed the arrangement.
Mid-Autumn Festival is very sticky to Xie Fei.Even though he couldn't walk steadily, he wanted to stumble and follow him, slipping on the floor from time to time, which made Xie Fei laugh.
Xie Fei put the sunflower cat litter under the sofa bed by the floor-to-ceiling windows, then picked up the kitten who had thrown herself all over the place, stuffed it into the nest, and said to it in a low voice: "You will sleep in this nest from now on. Come here consciously when the time comes, do you hear me?"
Then pointing to the kitchen: "That person is your temporary landlord, don't mess with him, you know?"
Little Lihua opened her emerald green eyes, meowed, and went to eat the salted fish toy in the nest.
Xie Fei patted its head, stood up and stretched itself.
The last time he was taken in by Gu Fangyan, he had no self-awareness at night, and was in a hurry to go to school in the morning, so he didn't have time to look carefully at this place.
This suite, two bedrooms and one living room with an outside balcony, is very spacious, even if it is lived alone, it will look deserted.The orientation of the balcony is quite good. Standing inside and looking out, you can see most of the business district.
It's night now, regardless of high-rise buildings or flat ground, all kinds of lights are turned on, and the lights are colorful, intertwined and converged into a piece, making people dazzled.But it keeps a distance from the business district, so the hustle and bustle of the downtown can't disturb here, and because of the greening of the community, there is even less traffic noise.
Xie Fei lay on the railing of the balcony, looking at the sea of lights under the night sky, and watching the pedestrians going back and forth, feeling as if she had passed away.
buzz-
Suddenly, the phone started vibrating continuously. Xie Fei picked it up and saw that it was Pei Xingyuan calling.
"Hello." Xie Fei picked it up.
"Where are you, I'll pick you up?" Pei Xingyuan's laughing voice came through the receiver. The background sound from his side was a bit noisy, and it sounded like there was some activity going on.
"Where are you?" Xie Fei asked.
Pei Xingyuan said that he was in their school. After Xie Fei calculated the distance, she couldn't help complaining: "I'm near the school. You drive from the university town to No. [-] Middle School to pick me up, and then drive home. This has nothing to do with traveling around the city." What's the difference?"
"To be precise, it's a high-speed tour in the inner ring." Pei Xingyuan corrected him.
"...Come on, I'm not interested." Xie Fei's eyes twitched.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you so unwilling to be reunited with your brother and me?" Pei Xingyuan asked on the phone, then changed his tone of assurance, and said, "Don't worry, I won't make you late tomorrow morning, I will wake you up at 6 o'clock. "
"Get up at 6 o'clock, what's the difference between you wanting me to die?" Xie Fei rolled her eyes, "Goodbye, friend!"
Pei Xingyuan was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little low: "You really don't want to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with me?"
"No, you can play at school by yourself." Xie Fei refused.
"alright."
After this topic was revealed, the two talked about something else, talking and laughing, about 10 minutes later, Xie Fei hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Gu Fangyan leaning on the French window, looking at him with heavy eyes.
Gu Fangyan's pigmentation is light, and his eyes are light amber. When the light shines in, they will look extraordinarily clear.
But at this moment, he was standing on the line where light and dark intersect, his whole body was fringed by the light cast from the living room, and half a step forward was the night filled with the world and mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
He looked at Xie Fei, his facial features and facial contours were hidden in the darkness, his eyes were deep and dark, and the light flickering inside was very faint.
At the turn of summer and autumn, the wind swirls up from the ground, carrying a kind of dampness and stuffiness unique to Linjiang City.There is no air conditioner on the balcony, Xie Fei stayed here for a while, although he didn't sweat, but it was still a little hot, but Gu Fangyan saw that his back was a little cold.
"What's wrong?" Xie Fei put away her phone, took two steps forward, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that something happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"No, dinner is here, come over to eat." Gu Fangyan lowered his eyes, and after finishing speaking, he returned to the bright living room and went to the dining table.The coolness and depth disappeared with his turning around, and the whole process was so fast that Xie Fei almost thought it was an illusion.
Xie Fei stood on the spot and pondered for a while, and attributed this to the fact that Alpha has retained the nature of enclosing territory from ancient times to the present, but now the territory is invaded by a strange cat.
He then sat down at the dining table.
Most of the table is aquatic products, including shrimps, crabs and fish. The unfamiliar cat Mid-Autumn Festival is attracted by the scent, but because it is too young, it cannot bounce up and can't even get on the chair, let alone serve it on the table.
Xie Fei bent down, intending to put it on her lap, but Gu Fangyan took the first step, lifted the nape of her neck and threw it to the cat bowl.
"Since you want to keep it as a pet cat, you should make it a good habit." Gu Fangyan returned to the table and said to Xie Fei expressionlessly.
"You're really strict." Xie Fei made a curry crab into her bowl and muttered slowly, "You're still so young."
"It is to be cultivated from an early age."
"..."
With different ideas, Xie Fei didn't want to talk to Gu Fangyan, and lowered his head to deal with the food.
Shrimp and crab are not troublesome to eat.Xie Fei alone, with two hands, not only has to deal with three crabs of different flavors, but also has friendly exchanges with the crayfish, which is not an ordinary job.
Sitting opposite him, Gu Fangyan spent about a quarter of an hour peeling off all the crayfish and pushing them over.
"Are you a snail girl, Brother Gu!" Xie Fei looked up in shock.
"Eat yours." Gu Fangyan said lightly.
Xie Fei felt a little guilty, and poured the soup from the bottom of the crayfish basin onto the shrimp meat: "You can't give it all to me, we each have half."
Gu Fangyan said "Yes", took off the disposable gloves, and slowly poured two bowls of soup.
But what Xie Fei didn't expect was that Gu Fangyan's snail girl character didn't last long, and soon collapsed.
He was much more interested in crabs than shrimps. He had just finished eating two, and when he was about to make a move on the third, a hand suddenly stretched out and was snatched away.
This obviously didn't mean peeling for him, because Gu Fangyan directly put the plate to the side.
"Miss Tianluo, you have changed!" Xie Fei looked up in disbelief.
"Crabs are cold in nature, your stomach is not good, and your stomach hurts if you eat too much." The tone of a certain snail girl surnamed Gu was flat.
Xie Fei stretched out her hand, compared it to six, and argued hard: "But I counted this amount in total."
Gu Fangyan leaned on the back of the chair, slightly raised his eyelids: "So?"
"Don't waste it!" Xie Fei stared at the person opposite and said seriously.
"Well, it's shameful to waste it." Gu Fangyan nodded, then turned his eyes and made a suggestion: "Then watch me eat."
Xie Fei had a look of wanting to punch someone.
"Tomorrow." Gu Fangyan smiled lightly, making some concessions.
"It won't be delicious tomorrow." Xie Fei retorted.But as soon as the words fell, Gu Fangyan restrained his smile and cast a cool glance.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads.Xie Fei leaned back and said with nothing to love: "...All right."
The dining table is full of shrimp shells and crab shells, piled up like a mountain.Can't continue to eat, these are very sad to see, Xie Fei sighed and started to clear the table.
Throw what should be thrown away, throw what should be thrown away, out of sight, he entrusts this task to Gu Fangyan, and goes to the kitchen to wash the dishes by himself.
For just two or three dishes, Xie Fei didn't use the dishwasher and washed them by hand.After Gu Fangyan came back, he stood beside Xie Fei, took the washed porcelain plate from him, dried it and put it on the shelf to dry.
The sky was dark, and a full moon hung high, shining even on the floating clouds.
Xie Fei is not a greedy person, after the attention was diverted, the resentment towards Gu Fangyan and the attachment to crab disappeared.He looked out through the window pane, thought about what day it is today, and asked softly, "Brother Gu, why don't you spend Mid-Autumn Festival with your family today?"
"Our family basically does not celebrate the New Year's Eve." Gu Fangyan replied in a low voice, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Fei.
The tea was brewed by boiling water before, and now it is just the right temperature for drinking.
After tidying up the kitchen and dining table, Xie Fei kicked her shoes back to the living room.
The little milk cat is full of food and drink, and is lying in the nest and sleeping soundly.Xie Fei squatted in front of it, and the sound of Gu Fangyan's footsteps faded away. Hearing his footsteps, Xie Fei guessed that he had gone to the bedroom, and not long after, he opened the door of the bedroom and came out.
"Are you reviewing at night?" Xie Fei turned her head and raised her face to ask Gu Fangyan who was standing on the other side of the living room.
He changed his clothes.A black shirt that Xie Fei hadn't seen him wear. It was tailored very well. The front was well supported by the texture of his chest. It was neither too stretched nor too thin. The button on the top was undone, and the collarbone could be seen faintly. shape.
Coupled with his cold white skin, he looks like a vampire walking out of a forest castle, ascetic and cold.
"No need." Gu Fangyan straightened his cuff buttons and answered Xie Fei leisurely.
Even the sound is pleasant, low and deep, and the texture is cold, like wine with ice cubes.
This damned Alpha actually releases his charm at such a time.
Xie Fei narrowed her eyes, quickly adjusted her expression, raised her mobile phone and said to Gu Fangyan, "Then do you want to watch the fireworks? There will be a fireworks show by the river at nine o'clock, we can go to Nanshan Park to watch it."
Gu Fangyan paused as he straightened his sleeves, "Yes."
"Then I'll call a taxi." Xie Fei put down her phone and clicked on the taxi interface.
"No, the driver is already waiting downstairs." Gu Fangyan said calmly.
Xie Fei said "Hey" and looked up at Gu Fangyan, feeling something was wrong, "When did you call your driver over?"
"Before dinner." Gu Fangyan raised his jaw toward the door, signaling Xie Fei to get up and go out.
"Oh——" Xie Fei got up from the ground, and said in a drawn-out tone, "So you planned to go out to watch the fireworks early in the morning."
Gu Fangyan went to the porch to change his shoes, noncommittal.
Nanshan Park is a famous scenic spot in Linjiang City.Located on the hillside, you can overlook the entire night view of the river when you look down, and watch the moon, stars and fireworks without any buildings blocking your view.
Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, there are too many people and cars, and there is no parking space. The driver of the Gu family had to go to the foot of the mountain to park and wait for Gu Fangyan and Xie Fei to have fun before going up to pick them up.
The front lawn of the park is full of various food stalls and small stalls selling gadgets. On the grass, picnic cloths are spread out one by one. As far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere, and there are children running wildly on the road. run away.Both Xie Fei and Gu Fangyan didn't like the scene very much, and walked along the sidewalk to the depths of the park.
There are not many street lights on the road, and there is only one at a long distance, which shows that the full moon in the sky is extraordinarily bright.Floating clouds are like silk and fluff, hanging below the white disc, hanging very low, as if they are within reach.
Xie Fei looked up for a while, then stretched out her hand on tiptoe, and grasped it vaguely.
In exchange, the person beside him laughed and asked, "Are you a monkey?"
"You laugh so presumptuously, Brother Gu." Xie Fei stabbed Gu Fangyan's elbow, "Monkey fishing for the moon is talking about fishing for the moon in the water. I call it—"Hands can pick up the stars."
"So it's a Poetry Immortal." Gu Fangyan immediately changed his words.
This guy Xie Fei can open a dyeing workshop with some color. Hearing this, he immediately pretended to be modest: "Thank you, thank you."
He walked a few steps, saw something, ran up quickly, took advantage of his strength to jump, and went to pick a pink cherry blossom that was extremely out of season, but when he came back, he was covered with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
"Look, this is a cherry blossom, but it blooms in this season." Xie Fei held the plucked flower in front of Gu Fangyan, "I have reason to suspect that someone here is trying to cultivate immortals."
"Why don't you suspect that other people's parks are cultivating new varieties?" Gu Fangyan asked with a slumped face, "Or they bloom out of season."
"After all, I am a poetic fairy." Xie Fei said righteously, then changed the topic, and smiled with crooked eyes: "Brother Gu, the only cherry blossom in Nanshan Park is given to you. If it is a big festival, don't be serious." A face, a smile."
He has a bright moon above his head, and he is in the breeze, with a clear and smooth voice, a light pink cherry blossom is pinched on his slender fingers, and his narrow and beautiful eyes are curved into beautiful arcs, as beautiful as flowers blooming on a spring night.
Gu Fangyan looked at him for several seconds, and finally said "um", and took the flower in his hand.
The two walked along the sidewalk for a long time, and finally came across an empty gazebo, but on the lawn not far away, a group of college students were having a party, playing games noisily, and the noise echoed to the sky.
"Just here." Xie Fei sighed.
Their intention was to find a place that wasn't too noisy, but that seemed hopeless.However, Nanshan Park is built on Nanshan. Visiting it is equivalent to climbing a mountain. Along the way, you never stop climbing up and down, which is quite exhausting.After Xie Fei finished speaking, she sat down, turned on the water, and drank half of the bottle in one go.
Gu Fangyan stood beside him, looked around, and nodded slowly.
The location of this gazebo is actually quite good. There is a 711 convenience store diagonally opposite, and a short walk further is the stop of the sightseeing bus.Today is the holiday, and the park has extended the business hours of the sightseeing car. After watching the fireworks, they can go out by car.
Xie Fei rested in the gazebo for a while, and suddenly saw a candied haws seller in a 711 convenience store. His heart moved, he tugged on Gu Fangyan's sleeve, and asked, "Brother Gu, do you eat candied haws?"
"Too sweet." Gu Fangyan refused in a low voice.
"Then I'll buy a bunch and eat it myself." Xie Fei stretched, "What time is it?"
Gu Fangyan glanced at the phone, "8:53."
There were still 7 minutes before the fireworks started, so in time, Xie Fei went to 711 and bought candied haws, snowflake hawthorn, and a box of oden.
The sweet-scented osmanthus here seems to be particularly fragrant, permeating every corner of the night, sweet and greasy, making people a little drunk.Xie Fei walked up to Gu Fangyan with candied haws in her mouth, gave him the Oden box in her hand, sniffed uncomfortablely, and said:
"Do you think this smell is too strong?"
Gu Fangyan raised his head: "Another place?"
"Hey, forget it, I'm too lazy to look for it anymore." Xie Fei waved his hand and sat down on the seat just now.
During the last few minutes of waiting for the fireworks, Xie Fei's WeChat message rang, and he lowered his head to reply.The moonlight was clear and white, shining on his slender neck, under the soft and dark hair, the skin looked more and more delicate.
Gu Fangyan glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and a very familiar yet very strange feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart, making him unconsciously grasp his fingers.
The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus floating in the air is getting stronger and stronger, almost covering up the taste of the food.
Xie Fei frowned, got up and took two steps, sniffing around, and asked Gu Fangyan: "There seems to be something wrong. Osmanthus fragrans is not evening primrose, how can it become more fragrant the later it is, this is unscientific, is there someone... ..."
Just then, there was a scream from the front lawn.
Xie Fei looked up and saw that an Omega fell down, and an Alpha rushed over, trying to do something to her.This Omega's face was flushed, and it was obviously in heat.
"The smell comes from her. Her pheromone is sweet-scented osmanthus. Now it's autumn, and there are osmanthus trees everywhere in the park, so I didn't find any problem at first!" Xie Fei spoke quickly, "The case has been solved!"
There was chaos on the lawn.
They were probably running some sorority, and the people present were either Alpha or Omega.
If it is an Alpha that has been marked with an Omega, of course it will not be affected by the pheromone that overflows from other Omegas when they are in heat, but these Alphas are obviously not.
The Omegas ran away in panic, and took out the inhibitor rationally, while those Alphas, few of them could hold on, started fighting and scrambling with red eyes.
A passer-by called the police, and some married Alphas stepped forward to help.
Gu Fangyan's first reaction was to take Xie Fei and leave together. After all, Omega will influence each other, but the person standing in front of him frowned.
The moonlight was still white, but Xie Fei's complexion seemed to be paler than before, showing a bit of gloom.
"Xie Fei?" A certain premonition welled up in Gu Fangyan's heart, and Gu Fangyan raised his hand to touch Xie Fei's shoulder.
Xie Fei took a few steps back as if getting an electric shock.
A layer of water mist quickly diffused under his eyes, and something burned and exploded in his body, spreading wildly from the tailbone to all the limbs, not only the cheeks, but even the tips of the ears were burning red.
"I seem to be affected..." Xie Fei murmured, but before the end of the sound, she had softened.
Snapped--
The snowflake hawthorn was overturned, the sugar coating on the candied haws skewers was smashed into pieces, the oden soup was spilled, and the sweet and spicy and tribute balls were scattered all over the floor.
Gu Fangyan strode forward and took the stumbling Xie Fei into his arms.
