C21 Farewell to the past
"Thank you, it's done!" The corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth curved into a big curve, and she replied magnanimously as well. With a raise of her head, she finished all the wine in the cup.
"Xiaoxiao .." When Qin Ran saw Gu Xiaoxiao like this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Xiaoxiao was a very obedient girl in the past and never drank alcohol. She thought that she had already walked out from that incident, but she never expected her to keep it in her heart.
"It's fine, of course." Looking at Qin Ran's expression, Gu Xiaoxiao could guess what she was thinking.
She was indeed in a difficult situation. If there was not the slightest bit of sadness in her heart when she was betrayed by the family she cared about and her lover, then she would be a person with a heart of stone and no human feelings!
"Let's have a good drink today. We'll drink to our heart's content. We won't leave unless we're drunk!" Saying so, he raised his head and downed another cup of wine.
Qin Ran was shocked, and immediately reached out to grab the wine in her hand, "Of course, that's not how you drink it!"
Gu Xiaoxiao nimbly twisted her arm, dodging Qin Ran's hand, "Then, can you let me be willful this once, okay?"
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed sorrow and an endless pitch-black hopelessness.
Qin Ran looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes that were filled with injuries, and her heart was inexplicably in pain. She put down her hand, and acquiesced to Gu Xiaoxiao's actions.
"Of course, do you know? I used to envy you, your frankness, your bluntness and your boldness. I never could! "I want to consider my parents, become a qualified person, strive for their honor, and not let them lose any face. I am not happy at all!"
Qin Ran heard it and it hurt in her heart, how could she not know Xiao Xiao's thoughts? Looking at her, enviously watched as Gu Anan spoiled his parents, looked at her, and enviously watched these people happily laugh out loud. She could only watch from afar.
It was because she was the Gu family's daughter, the one who was adopted. Thus, she was destined to suffer much more than ordinary people.
"Of course, it's good now. I left. Actually, I just feel a bit uncomfortable. Even if I were to raise a cat or dog, I should at least have feelings for them after so many years. They... "How can they be so heartless .." Gu Xiaoxiao's voice was choked with sobs. There were tears in her eyes that couldn't fall, but she blinked with all her might and forced them back.
I can't cry. Gu Xiaoxiao had passed through all the grievances in the past. Just like Huo Moting had said, he would just treat it as repaying them for raising him. From now on, it didn't matter anymore!
It had nothing to do with them anymore!
"Xiaoxiao, don't be like this. They aren't worth it. "It's not worth it .." Qin Ran's voice was choked with sobs as well. Looking at such a Gu Xiaoxiao made her feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"Sigh, of course, what happened to you?" Just as Gu Xiaoxiao was calming herself down, she saw that Qin Ran looked like he was about to throw away the golden beans. Hearing her slightly choked voice, Gu Xiaoxiao immediately panicked, "Of course, I'm fine, I'm just venting my frustration, I'm just saying goodbye to the past."
Seeing Qin Ran like this, he must have felt that he was hurt again. Sigh, he was the same as well. Why did he have to be so hypocritical? He clearly knew that he would be sad for his, yet he only cared about himself!
"Of course, I'm really saying goodbye to the past!"
"Farewell?" Qin Ran repeated in shock.
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao replied. In order to express her sincerity, she seriously nodded her head.
"Farewell!" Qin Ran's voice instantly rose an octave, "Gu Xiaoxiao, are you playing with me? It was nothing that hurt so much that I .. I mean it. " In the last few words, Qin Ran's voice was extremely soft, as though he was embarrassed that he was actually so stupid.
"Oh, of course. No, I'm just a little sad. " Gu Xiaoxiao quickly explained.
"Actually, on that day, Huo Moting accompanied me for a very long time, and he gave me a lot of comfort. At that time, my mood was pretty much better .."
Gu Xiaoxiao's voice became softer and softer under Qin Ran's "Then you just now" expression.
"Aren't I being a little unreasonable in front of you, my dearest friend? Yes, of course. "I won't do it in the future. I've decided to say my goodbyes to the past and start over again. In the future, I will live for myself!" Gu Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with passion and hope for the future!
Qin Ran was also shocked by Gu Xiaoxiao. He did not expect that this obedient girl, Gu Xiaoxiao, would be so domineering. She slammed the table, "Alright, Xiaoxiao. I support you! Bidding farewell to the past and starting anew! Come! Cheers! "
Qin Ran handed a cup of wine over to Gu Xiaoxiao domineeringly, and at the same time, held the cup of wine in his hands tightly onto her cup.
"Alright." Gu Xiaoxiao said bluntly, the smile on her face was so real, so bright, so attracting.
After drinking, Qin Ran looked at the hotpot and the food material on the table, and suddenly remembered, they were .. They seemed to be here to eat hotpot, right? How did it become like this? Forget it, let's just continue eating.
Qin Ran quickly threw the food material on the plate into the wok, and used his chopsticks to stir it up, saying, "Xiao Xiao, let's just eat the hotpot. This spicy pot is very spicy, let's eat it to prove our determination! "
"Sure." Gu Xiaoxiao said while laughing, and also threw her favorite food material into the pot.
They turned the hotpot to its maximum firepower, and soon, bubbles began to bubble.
It was ready to eat!
"Wow. It looks delicious. " Qin Ran hurriedly picked up a ball of meat, and didn't even have time to blow on it before it was sent straight into his mouth. In the next second, it was already scalding hot, "Ah, it's so hot."
"Slow down, no one is fighting with you. Come on, have some water. " Gu Xiaoxiao immediately gave her a cup of ice water, no longer expecting anything from her burning temper.
Qin Ran took the cup and drank the water in one gulp, then said after taking a breath, "Who said that no one would snatch it, wouldn't you know how to?"
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't fight with you anymore. You're really stingy."
"But you did!" Qin Ran looked like he was about to go back on his words, it was extremely funny.
There were so many dishes here, it would be weird if he could eat all of them. How could it be possible for someone to steal the dishes?
However, reality proved that Gu Xiaoxiao had still underestimated the two of them, or it could be said that she had underestimated their stomach, or perhaps she had underestimated the attraction the hotpot had for them. There were so many dishes, yet they actually ate them? Oh no!
Even though they were full! Therefore, the two of them walked back because they wanted to eat!
By the time they got home, it was already ten o'clock. They washed their faces and went to bed without even applying a mask.
Because they had slept rather early on the second day, Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran had naturally woken up around six o'clock.
After waking up, they didn't get up. They felt the warmth of the early summer sun shining on their bodies, so they chatted nonchalantly.
"We're resting today. Where are we going to play?" Qin Ran played with her hair in his hands while facing Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Up to you." Gu Xiaoxiao said lazily. She had no place to go.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you're so boring!" Qin Ran thought that Gu Xiaoxiao actually did not want to go out to play, but in the next moment, he shouted as if he was on stimulants, "Let's go shopping, let's go buy clothes. Xiaoxiao, you have to buy your clothes as well. "
Mm, that's true. When she left the Gu household, she only packed a few simple clothes, so she had to buy them.
However, the moment she thought of going shopping with Qin Ran, she became flustered. That really was a shopping maniac, he couldn't stop buying. However, seeing her excited expression, it seemed as though she was too heartless to refuse. Forget it, she would just treat it as risking her life to accompany this prince.
"Fine."
Just as Gu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Qin Ran's cheers rang out, those decibels nearly deafened Gu Xiaoxiao's ears. Just as he wanted to calm her down, Qin Ran rolled on the bed and stood up, "Wake up, wake up. Wake up quickly, eat dinner and go shopping. "
Hearing Qin Ran's curling words, the corner of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. She just knew it! He had no choice but to get up from the bed and wash up and cook.
Because Qin Ran really wanted to go shopping, their breakfast this morning was extremely simple. To find Qin Ran, it was "Let's go to a place to eat".
Sigh, Gu Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand the thoughts of Qin Ran and the others. It was obviously not late, it had clearly been bought many times already, what was this excitement that she was so excited about for a long time?
In any case, due to Gu Xiaoxiao's resentful thoughts, they had spent merely an hour and a half to finish washing up, putting on makeup, cooking, and eating. That is to say, when they walked out into the street, it was only half past seven! Seven thirty!
Although there were many places to open the door, it was still too early! Gu Xiaoxiao screamed in her heart. She looked calm and collected as she followed Qin Ran who seemed to have gained a large amount of blood.
In the end, they walked into the Light Market, which was the largest and most popular mall in the city. Moreover, the items inside were not all ordinary, and anything you needed could be bought here. From small furniture to embroidery needles, clothing, jewelry, household items, learning equipment, tools for work, toys for children, etc.
At the same time, this was also a class-specific shopping mall. The first floor was usually reserved for ordinary citizens, and the quality of the goods would be guaranteed. The second and third floor were places where the rich could afford to spend money. All sorts of things were expensive inside. Buying one would require many people to eat instant noodles for a month.
Moreover, at the back of the mall, there was an elevator that led directly to the second and third floors. This allowed those who thought they were noble to avoid going to the first floor. Although there were passages from the first floor to the second floor, not many people were willing to go up because they were afraid of being looked down upon. Most importantly, it would cost them at least a month's salary to go in!
Qin Ran and Gu Xiaoxiao spent the entire morning on the first floor buying a lot of daily necessities, as well as some clothes that she usually wore. They were not expensive, but the quality was still acceptable. As for why it had taken them all morning, it was because they had moved to the children's clothing section.
Qin Ran saw that those cute children's clothing could not move at all. She kept looking around, and after touching every single piece of clothing, he really did not buy a single one. Because they have no children!
In the end, under the shop assistant's gaze that was about to spew fire, Gu Xiaoxiao dragged the Qin Ran who still wanted to leave.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go to the second floor to take a look." Qin Ran said excitedly to the exhausted Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Ah!" Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
It wasn't that she didn't dare to go. She used to frequently go to the second floor to buy clothes. It was just that she was too tired. I really don't want to go!
"What about these?" Gu Xiaoxiao raised the big and small bag in his hand, and pointed at the thing in Qin Ran's hand, trying to use this to stop her thoughts. Results...
"There's a place to store things in the mall." Qin Ran had an expression on his face.
