Chapter 144 A bed given out of kindness

Gu Jingcheng sighed silently in his heart. He then turned his head to look at Su Xiaomu who looked apologetic and shook his head gently. He looked at her with a very gentle look: "If you really like it, just hang it here. I just haven't painted for a long time. Looking at the past

…It’s quite a trance.”

He paused, then looked back at the painting.

"I just never thought you would like these things."

In my memory, although Su Xiaomu had read poems and books and had many opinions on these elegant things, she was rarely seen taking the initiative to talk about these things. Calligraphy and paintings... had never been bought back.

In the past, the small courtyard needed some decorations, and she mostly bought fresh flowers. She would rather spend some money to replace them than buy these dead things.

"I originally had no interest in these things, but when I came across your paintings that day, I found them very interesting for some reason. You seem to like flowers and bamboos very much. Among all your works, plum blossoms are the most painted.

Yes, could it be..."

Su Xiaomu talked to him and suddenly became a little interested after talking about this.

"Do you like the poem that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold?"

Su Xiaomu knew that Gu Jingcheng had suffered a lot since he was a child, so he wondered if he was using the plum blossom character as a metaphor for himself?

"No." Gu Jingcheng shook his head, "I don't like the world praising suffering, and I don't like them saying that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. In fact, the fragrance of plum blossoms is because they are inherently fragrant, and it has nothing to do with whether they have experienced the bitter cold.

Its infinite goodness is not given to it by the suffering it has experienced, but is possessed by itself."

"It's a... novel explanation."

Su Xiaomu and Zhou Lin both fell into deep thought for a while because of what he said.

Su Xiaomu now feels more and more speechless about her previous thought that Gu Jingcheng was pedantic.

How come this brother, who obviously has so many modern ideas, was so shackled and prejudiced by her?

He criticized himself in his mind, then changed the subject and asked Gu Jingcheng: "What made you think of coming here today?"

She admitted that her change of topic was a bit abrupt, but she didn't really want to discuss suffering with Gu Jingcheng today. Such an overly advanced topic should be reserved for other times.

Gu Jingcheng didn't pay attention to her changing the subject. His eyes slowly stayed on Zhou Lin, and then he slightly curved his lips: "Zhou Lin said he wanted to come and see your club. If you have nothing to do today, I will accompany him.

Take a look."

His eyes briefly stayed on Zhou Lin, and then Gu Jingcheng looked at Su Xiaomu again, his smile deeper than before: "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"You are noble...you are amazing...you come to see your wife...and you use me as an excuse!"

Zhou Lin secretly complained about Gu Jingcheng. He obviously wanted to come here, but he wanted to use him as a raft?

This is a young married couple. It's quite boring for the two of them to stand here.

Zhou Lin was silently left aside, listening to the two of them caring about each other, but not taking his "guest" seriously at all.

Finally, Su Xiaomu thought of Zhou Lin, not to say hello to him, but to think of her own fruit trees.

"What about my fruit seedlings? I wonder how Mr. Zhou is preparing."

Su Xiaomu also heard Gu Jingcheng say that the fruit wine in her yard smelled more and more mellow, and then she suddenly remembered such a thing.

Ha... Zhou Lin sneered, did you think of him? Did you think that he still had fruit trees?

"It's almost there. It should be delivered by the end of the month. You can wait for my letter then."

In his heart, he sneered at this cold-hearted couple, but on his face, he didn't forget that they were all friends~

"Thank you very much. When I get the fruit tree, I will thank you very much. Remember to come to my house for dinner. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

Su Xiaomu got an answer that satisfied her, and she suddenly felt more refreshed.

She immediately arranged to treat Zhou Lin to dinner. After all, Zhou Lin was rich, so it would be inconvenient for her to give him money if she wanted to thank him, right?

Therefore, making an appointment to have a meal is the most thoughtful and cost-effective way.

Because of the fruit trees, the three of them chatted together for a while.

After a while, Luo Yi and Chen Anning also came.

Luo Yi dealt with the matters in the club under Su Xiaomu's instructions. She met Chen Anning, who had just arrived. The two discussed for a while and decided to come to meet Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin no matter what.

After all, one is Su Xiaomu's husband, and the other is her husband's close friend.

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

Luo Yi and Chen Anning greeted Gu Jingcheng. They had met at the door last time, but it was not a formal meeting after all, so it didn't count.

In addition, at that time, because Chen Anning still admired Gu Jingcheng, it was so embarrassing that it's hard to describe.

"These are Miss Luo and Miss Chen, the other two owners of my club."

Su Xiaomu knew that Zhou Lin didn't know the secret, so he introduced the two of them to him.

"This is my husband's classmate. This time I am studying with him at Master Wan's place. Next year we will attend the Spring Festival together."

"I know, it's all about lifting people up."

Chen Anning just bowed to Zhou Lin and stood aside silently.

As for Luo Yi, who always has a lively personality, she happily said to Zhou Lin: "Such a young master is really capable. I wonder if he will be able to come back with a first-class ranking and a top-three ranking in the spring of next year. If you and Mr. Gu are both

To be on the list is to win a lot of face for Master Wan."

"Why is this first grade so easy to pass? I don't even dare to say such big words myself."

Zhou Lin didn't expect Luo Yi to praise him so highly, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "Don't you dare, Miss Luo, please don't say that."

"What's the point? It's just talk. How can Mr. Zhou demean himself like this? What if you have such ability?"

Luo Yi and Zhou Lin bickered with each other, making the remaining three of them very interesting to watch.

At night, Luo Yi and Chen Anning went home after eating. Su Xiaomu placed Zhou Lin in the side room, and she lived with Gu Jingcheng in her room, although Gu Jingcheng always slept on the soft couch.

"I'll ask someone to move a small bed next time. You always sleep on this soft bed, and it doesn't seem to be good for your waist."

She also looked at him sitting on the couch, and suddenly thought of how he had his legs stretched out at night, with nowhere to put them.

Tsk, look, doesn’t this come with the disadvantages of growing taller?

There is no place to sleep.

"Then..." Gu Jingcheng seemed not to have expected that Su Xiaomu would suddenly consider it for him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. If your poor sleep here affects your study, then it will be my fault."

Su Xiaomu actually thought that if Gu Jingcheng got sick and needed medical treatment, she would have to spend the money.

She knew very well who spent more money on a bed change or a medical treatment.

Of course, it's better not to tell Gu Jingcheng this secret thought, let him be moved for a while first.

Su Xiaomu secretly ordered, and then poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat.
