Chapter 99

"What's the matter?" Gu nianbin asked.

"I'm sprained." Xia Xiaowan pointed to her feet and said, "I think it's time to go down the slope a little bit hastily. If I'm not careful..."

Gu nianbin said with a smile, "what's so urgent? I have to wait for you to come back and have dinner."

Xia Xiaowan saw him teasing himself, but he was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "please help me, I can't stand up."

Gu nianbin squatted to her and said, "come on, I'll carry you."

"It's so funny. I can still walk with one foot," Xia Xiaowan seemed embarrassed.

Gu nianbin looked back at her: "when did you become so mean?"

Xia Xiaowan then went to him and said, "thank you very much."

Gu nianbin said: "I knew you would have an accident, I should accompany you to come up."

"I don't blame you. It's my own carelessness." Xia Xiaowan said, "I want you to bear me back."

Gu nianbin didn't make a sound again, just silently picked up her and stepped on the stone steps and slowly went down the mountain. Neither of them spoke. On the quiet mountain road, only Gu nianbin could hear the rustling of fallen leaves. Although late autumn, but the roadside is mostly camphor trees, this time is still green and luxuriant, the expansion of the crown to block the noon sun outside, the road is cool. Xia Xiaowan's long hair is flying in the wind, and one of them is hanging down on Gu nianbin's face. She is busy brushing it with her hand. Her fingers glided over the man's smooth forehead. Xia Xiaowan's heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat, and then she jumped up suddenly. She struggled and said, "forget it, I'd better come down and walk. The road is a bit steep. Don't fall both of you."

It happened to be a straight down mountain stone path. The steps were built higher. As soon as she struggled, Gu nianbin put her down. At this time, several people came down from the mountain. It was the servants Gu nianbin took to the mountain to find people. As soon as they saw Xia Xiaowan like this, they knew that she had sprained her foot. They did not wait for Gu nianbin's order to help her.

When they returned to the hall, it was more than half an hour later. When Fang Yaru saw Xia Xiaowan's feet, she couldn't help criticizing Gu nianbin: "look, I said that in case of an accident, it really happened. How nice of you to be with me! Xiaowan is a guest. She sprained her foot as soon as she came back. It's really... "

"Auntie, don't blame nianbin, it's my own carelessness." Xia Xiaowan saw a maid squatting on the ground. She was taking medicine oil to rub her feet. She put her hands on it. As soon as she exerted herself, she grinned.

Fang Yaru said, "ah Ling, you should be light."

A Ling said: "madam, don't use a little force. This medicine can't be mixed in. It's useless to wipe it."

Xia Xiaowan said: "you rub hard, I can bear it."

A Ling looked at her and slowly used her strength. Xia Xiaowan bit her mouth and said nothing. Fang Yaru looked at her with a worried face: "Xiaowan, the pain will be called out, and it will not hurt to call out."

Xia Xiaowan tried to bear the pain and laughed at Fang Yaru: "it's OK. I can still bear it."

Fang Yaru looked at it for a while, went to Gu Guangxian and sat down. She said in a low voice, "you can see how sensible Xiaowan is. She is not delicate at all. If our family is Shanshan, it will be like killing a pig."

Gu Guangxian then laughs: "which has said so own daughter."

"I'm telling you the truth," Fang Yaru turned her head, saw Gu nianbin sitting on the sofa, beckoned him over, and said, "don't go anywhere in the afternoon. Just stay here with Xiaowan. She can't move her foot. You can drink tea with you and have a chat and try to be a good host."

Gu nianbin said, "Mom, don't you talk to her very well? You're with me

"You young people have a common language. Besides, I'm going to accompany your father to rest and obey your orders. She's invited by her mother. She's a mother. Please."

Gu nianbin had planned to leave after lunch, and his little girl was still alone, but now Xia Xiaowan has twisted her feet. As the host, he is really not easy to leave. You can't leave a girl with a sprained foot to her parents.

So, in the afternoon, Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian went back to their room to have a rest. Gu nianbin sat in the hall with Xia Xiaowan and chatted. Xia Xiaowan is a good chat expert. No matter who she is, she always talks with her in a proper way. However, Gu nianbin always looks like a modest gentleman. She is not too enthusiastic and will not be very indifferent. When they talk, they seem friendly and harmonious.

At this time, Xia Xiaowan saw a black and a white two glazed pots on the ancient shelf beside the wall. They were unique in shape. They were warm and bright, and they were emitting a faint light. She asked curiously, "what is that?"

Thinking bin glanced at him, he said faintly, "is it go, can you play it?"

"I don't know how to master it, but I know something about it." That tone clearly has the meaning of trying to kill a game.

Gu nianbin said: "in this case, it's better to kill time in the next set."

"Good!" Xia Xiaowan said: "you must be an expert. Let me have five sons."

"Only five sons?" Gu nianbin picked an eyebrow and said with a smile, "it seems that the chess skill is good."

Xia Xiaowan said with a smile: "it seems that I overestimated myself, let ten sons."

Gu nianbin asked someone to put the chess table in front of Xia Xiaowan. She sat down and asked her to pick it first. Xia Xiaowan held the black chess jar in her hand and said, "I like black chess. It's as beautiful as ink jade.""Isn't it because black can go first?" Gu nianbin asked.

"There's also this reason," Xia Xiaowan said. "I like to attack actively. I don't like to be passive."

"On the contrary, I like white chess, because it can defend first and attack later to lure the enemy in-depth."

Xia Xiaowan laughs, pinches a black spot to the chessboard gently a knock, sends out the extremely pleasant clear sound. Gu nianbin followed closely, pinching a white son and occupying the corner of the other side. The first few sons went down very fast. It seemed that they didn't need to think about it. But at the back, the fall became more and more slow. Gu nianbin ate less than ten sunspots, while Xia Xiaowan had already placed three or five white spots in front of Xia Xiaowan. The current victory or defeat is clear at a glance.

Gu nianbin touched his chin, took a look at Xia Xiaowan and said, "it's not that you overestimate yourself, but I underestimate you."

Xia Xiaowan laughed, cocked her head and said, "arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Who told you to let only five sons?"

The playful smile and coquettish tone make Gu nianbin seem familiar with each other. Looking at her, Gu nianbin has two seconds of trance. Then he laughed and said, "it's still early to win or lose. Let's make you proud."

Xia Xiaowan began to smile again. Her eyes seemed to moisten the water, and her smile became more gentle.

At first, Gu nianbin was absent-minded in playing chess. He thought that a girl would not have much attainments in go, so he could play with her at will. I didn't expect that Xia Xiaowan's level is not as low as he imagined. Except for the ten sons of let, now he is actually in the underdog. At this time, he took heart and began to play chess seriously.

The sun slanted in from the window bars, casting the shadow of flower windows on the ground. Innumerable tiny dust rose and tumbled in the light and dyed into golden powder. In the autumn afternoon, it is a kind of enjoyment to sit in this kind of 100 year old house to have a rest. The man sitting opposite has his sword eyebrows and bright eyes. His drooping eyes are as deep as a deep pool. His cold face and deep outline unconsciously exude charming charm. Time seems to stop here. At this moment, Xia Xiaowan feels that happiness is so close to herself.

Although Xia Xiaowan was a little inferior to Xia Xiaowan, Gu nianbin was not easy to win. Xia Xiaowan finally threw the son to surrender. Gu nianbin said, "it's a match for the match."

Xia Xiaowan clasped his fist and said with a smile, "let me accept."

They looked at each other with a smile and started the second set.

Fang Yaru came out of the room and looked at them from a distance for a while. She turned to Gu Guangxian and said, "it seems that I'm right to hope. It's hard to say whether they will succeed or not."

Gu Guangxian poured cold water on her: "isn't Nian bin already making a statement with you? He said that he and Xiaowan had nothing to do with him. "

"You go out and have a look. Are they dead?" Fang Yaru grinned at the door.

"I'm not going." Gu Guangxian said: "ask people to make tea. Remember to use the spring water from the back mountain."

Fang Yaru said hello and walked back along the corridor.

At last, the sun fell on Gu nianbin's body. It was like a light golden light edge. His cold face seemed soft. He dropped the last son, stretched out, and looked at the cloisonne clock on the wall. He was surprised and said, "it's so late."

Xia Xiaowan said with a smile, "do you think it's easy to kill time by playing go. We still play fast. If we really want to match each other, a game of chess will take half a day."

Gu nianbin said: "you are also tired. Take a rest. I'll go out for a cigarette."

"Whatever you want. Don't worry about me. I just wanted to take a nap."

Gu nianbin asked a Ling to take a blanket to cover her. He walked out of the hall and entered a wing room in the south, which was his room here. The furnishings inside were not as antique as those in the hall. All the furniture here was pure French style, and the ivory furniture was painted with thin gold rims, and the light was soft in the dark room.

Gu nianbin sat down on the leather sofa, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was no message. He threw the mobile phone to the sofa next to him. He fell down on his side and lay on the sofa. After dinner, he didn't have a rest. He was still a little tired, but he couldn't sleep.

He didn't intend to investigate the matter last time, so he went over and exposed it. But Xia Xiaowan's words made him waver. Knowing that you want to choose to trust Du Xiaoxian, his little girl is simple and kind and won't cheat him, but

Du Xiaoxian mentioned Cheng Mingchi to him, even said about sending handkerchief. When she said it, he could see that she was very frank and her eyes were honest. The little girl could not tell lies at all. But why did Xia Xiaowan say that? Do you really know? Or is there any misunderstanding?

Just looking at the ceiling, his cell phone rang. He sat up lazily and reached for his mobile phone. It was Du Xiaoxian who called and asked when he would go back?

The little girl's voice seemed a little listless. Gu nianbin temporarily suppressed her unhappiness and asked her what was wrong with her?

Du Xiaoxian sighed lightly, saying that he might be tired. Shao Baiqing also said that Shao Baiqing would take her and Zhou Ting to have a steak later, thinking he could come back in time.

Gu nianbin heard from this that she had a little regret. Instead, he was a little happy and said that he would go back as soon as possible after dinner.Du Xiaoxian said OK. He was silent for a while and called him again. Gu nianbin asked her what else she had to do? The little girl paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "may I call your name?"

Gu nianbin was stunned. He laughed and said, "yes!"

So Du Xiaoxian called him very loud in the phone: "Gu nianbin, you have to come back early!"
