  Qingxi Mountain, a nationally famous five-A scenic spot, is actually located at the junction of City A and City B.
  At home, Ji Ruan prepared a week-long cross-city business trip with excited hearts and trembling hands. In fact, it was not as far as imagined. The total drive time was two hours, and it was even the first choice for many residents of City A to go out for a day trip.
  But Ji Ruan was still very happy. The day he left was early in the morning, and he set a record for getting up at the fastest speed ever.
  Cheng Zizhang drove to pick him up, and Cheng Yunxiu and his party were only three.
  When Gu Xiuyi sent him to the car, the sun was still hidden behind the clouds, the sky was faintly glowing, the clouds were pulled into a thin film, and the beam of light could break through the sky with just one kick at the door.
  But what Gu Xiuyi saw Ji Ruan’s happy back, and the hair on top of his head that was constantly swaying in the wind.
  It was only a three-day and two-night trip, so there wasn’t much luggage needed. Gu Xiuyi put Ji Ruan’s small suitcase in the trunk, and Ji Ruan carried the half-empty candy jar into the car, and handed it to Cheng Zizhang’s mother. The woman divided a few.
  Aunt Zhao followed Gu Xiuyi, holding Ji Ruan’s hand that protruded from the car window and chattered.
  “Take good care of yourself, Ruan Ruan.”
  “The temperature is low in the mountains at night, remember to wear more clothes so you don’t catch a cold.”
   “Just in case I put the cold medicine and stomach medicine in the box for you, you can see it when you open it Arriving.”
  “Remember to send a message to report your safety when you arrive, send it to me… Oh, don’t send it to me, give it to Xiao Gu, haha, I’ll know if you send it to him…”
  Ji Ruan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, Aunt Zhao’s posture, Those who didn’t know thought he was going to join the army, and he wouldn’t come back in a year or so.
  He grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Aunt Zhao’s hand, and put his chin on the window sill obediently: “I know, Aunt Zhao, don’t worry, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow, soon~”
  “Oh, Then be good…” Aunt Zhao smiled from ear to ear as she looked at the handful of bright red candies in her hand.
  This is Ji Ruan’s favorite candy, usually he is reluctant to eat it, but now giving her so much at once, doesn’t it just show how unique she is in his heart!
  A year’s worth of food is not in vain, their Ruan Ruan is really a good boy.
  “Okay, auntie, wait for you to come back, don’t get sick!” Aunt Zhao rubbed Ji Ruan’s head obediently one bite at a time, Ji Ruan didn’t resist at all, and squinted her eyes obediently to rub her head.
  Gu Xiuyi watched from the side with a bit of a taste.
  Ji Ruan would never let him rub so obediently.
  If he wanted to rub Ji Ruan, he either had to become a massage technician, or he had to find ways to make up some excuses to deceive the child.
  Now Aunt Zhao has occupied all the seats in front of the window by herself, and Gu Xiuyi can’t get in, so she has no intention of stopping yet.
  “Cough!” Gu Xiuyi covered his lips.
  Aunt Zhao babbled for a while, then remembered that there was someone beside her, and smiled coquettishly: “Hey, look at my memory, then you can say a few words about Xiao Gu… Hahaha, let’s talk…” She retreated
  to While making room, he pushed aside Ji Ruan’s love cherry candy and put it in his mouth.
  Huh! Too sore for a toothache…
  Gu Xiuyi is going to the office soon, and the suit on his body has been neatly arranged.
  Although people who wear suits all year round tend to look rigid and boring, Gu Xiuyi never gives people such a feeling.
  Ji Ruan had to admit that he was indeed very suitable for suits. The crisp and expensive fabrics could perfectly accentuate his slender figure, and his aura was calmer and more stable.
  The look in the eyes when you tilt your head slightly and look in from the car window is easy to make people’s hearts flutter.
  Gu Xiuyi didn’t speak, and rubbed Ji Ruan’s cheek with the back of his hand. This movement is very light, like gently scratching with a feather, the itching heat spreads to the nerve endings, and it also makes the heart thump.
  Ji Ruan likes to touch familiar people, especially people like Gu Xiuyi who have a high body temperature. When he is rubbed lightly, it feels like a little swan is shyly blowing its feathers in the heart. It was full of traffic.
  Ji Ruan pursed his lips, looked up at Gu Xiuyi, wondering what he would say to him.
  With a smile in his eyes, Gu Xiuyi slid his gaze from Ji Ruan’s face to the candy jar in his arms, and said slowly,
  “give me a candy?”
  “…?”
  That’s it?
  Do you only want sugar?
  Ji Ruan’s expression was blank, and then the corners of his mouth collapsed.
  Oh, sure enough a man is a man, what exactly is he expecting.
  Ji Ruan lowered his head and reluctantly counted his candy jars. After a few generous candy distributions just now, it has bottomed out now!
  His furry coat can be seen through the gap between the candy wrappers and through the bottom of the glass jar!
  Ji Ruan was really reluctant, and couldn’t bear to open the lid.
  Gu Xiuyi waited at the side, quietly looking at the candies distributed by the people around him from the corner of the eye, Cheng Zizhang’s mother and daughter looked like three or four candies each, and Aunt Zhao was holding seven or eight candies in her hand, exuding a proud king’s contempt from time to time.
  Gu Xiuyi thought about it secretly, with his weight in Ji Ruan’s heart, and the care he took for Ji Ruan these days, how could he get more than a dozen of them.
  Ji Ruan’s palm is small, and he definitely can’t hold it with one hand. When I gave it to him, would he hold it with both hands?
  Damn, so cute.
  Gu Xiuyi was so cute just thinking about it.
  He tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth. Facing Shang Jiruan’s eyes, the kid looked shy with red cheeks.
  “Then what…” Ji Ruan scratched the tip of his nose: “You still eat sweets at your age? You don’t like—”
  Before he finished speaking, Ji Ruan saw Gu Xiuyi’s outstretched hand, with five slender fingers placed in front of his eyes, as if he was extremely confident that he would receive a lot of candies.
  “——?” Ji Ruan added the last word dully.
  “Pfft—” Aunt Zhao immediately covered her mouth.
  Gu Xiuyi: “…”
  Gu Xiuyi did not expect this direction.
  He really didn’t expect that the little bastard didn’t want to give him any.
  What is his position in Ji Ruan’s heart?
  The palm in front of him was closed or not, Ji Ruan saw the corners of Gu Xiuyi’s mouth twitching, he opened and closed several times but failed to say a word.
  He stared blankly at Gu Xiuyi for a while, and felt that his body was getting hot, gradually reddened from his neck to his cheeks and then to the tips of his ears, his raised hair was about to smoke.
  “…Okay, I’ll give it to you!”
  He opened the lid and quickly stuffed it into Gu Xiuyi’s palm, then raised the car window and lowered his head without looking at Gu Xiuyi.
  Cheng Zizhang understood, started the car and drove out. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Mr. Gu’s tall and straight figure getting smaller and smaller, and joked: “You two have a good relationship.”
  Slowed down, his face was so hot that his head was a little dizzy.
   He touched his face and lowered his eyelashes: “Senior sister, stop talking…”
  Cheng Zizhang’s big laugh and subsequent gasp responded to him , she held the steering wheel with one hand and covered her cheek with the other—the candy Ji Ruan gave was so sour that her teeth almost fell out.
  Gu Xiuyi stood there for quite a while, until the SUV could no longer be seen in his field of vision, he slowly spread his hands.
  Only one.
  Ji Ruan Kou Kou So Sou only gave him one.
  The bright red candy is placed in his wide palm, which looks pitifully small.
  After a long time, Gu Xiuyi laughed dumbfoundedly: “…you little heartless.”
  Aunt Zhao went back to the house with her hands behind her back, and patted Gu Xiuyi on the shoulder when passing by, with the unique confidence of seven candy players: “Ruan Ruan doesn’t have much left. Please be considerate.”
  “…”
  Gu Xiuyi collected his emotions, put the only precious candy in his trouser pocket, and walked slowly to the garage.
  Aunt Zhao only heard him “hum” from the nasal cavity, and left a sentence:
  “You should eat less at your age, Aunt Fang of Li Suian’s family was just diagnosed with diabetes last month, and now she sheds tears all day long.”
  Aunt Zhao was shocked: “What?! Xiaofang has diabetes? Why didn’t I know? Why didn’t she tell me? Oh, this old lady must be afraid that I’m worried. If I can’t, I have to go and see…”
 Â
   It was just after ten o’clock when Ji Ruan and his party arrived at Qingxi Mountain.
  The activity point this time is in the exhibition center at the foot of the mountain, and there is an ancient town outside, where many backpackers live.
  The original intention of the organizer was that all the teachers and accompanying disciples would live in the reserved hotel, but Cheng Yunxiu didn’t like the crowded atmosphere of the hotel, so she booked a homestay by himself. It is a simple and elegant wooden structure.
  The yard is full of flowers, which is exactly the same as the yard of her own home. Teacher Cheng’s aesthetic style is quite fixed.
  Ji Ruan lived in a room facing the sun on the second floor, and when he opened the door, he could see a small balcony full of sunshine.
  He put the suitcase aside, instead of going up to the balcony, he stood there and took a casual photo of the scenery outside the window and sent it to Gu Xiuyi.
  “Buzz—”
  The phone placed on the conference table vibrated twice, and the icon of the little cherry lit up on the screen.
  [arrived safely. ]
  [Picture.jpg]
  Gu Xiuyi smiled slightly, and clicked on the picture – a picture of an ordinary balcony.
  He searched quickly out of the corner of his eye, and found that Ji Ruan himself did not show up at all, not even showing a finger, except that there seemed to be a little reflection on the half-open glass door.
  Gu Xiuyi frowned, zoomed in with two fingers to look carefully, and vaguely recognized Ji Ruan’s body outline from inside.
  ——Zoomed in again, he could barely see his white fingertips holding the phone, but the most important face was completely covered by the phone, so he couldn’t see it at all.
  Gu Xiuyi: “…”
  He seemed to have never been so embarrassed.
  [Children who need to take selfies to report safety. ]
  [One is not enough. ]
  The other side does not return.
  Gu Xiuyi waited for a while, then tapped the table with his fingertips…
  [Okay, one is also fine. ]
  But Ji Ruan still didn’t reply, as if he left his phone on the other side of the ocean after completing the task of sending the message.
  “…Alas.” Gu Xiuyi sighed.
  What a little heartless.
  “Our cooperation with Ling Zhou has stabilized this year, and their request is for the next quarter…”
  The report ahead came to an abrupt end, and the staff looked at Gu Xiuyi in fear.
  Fuck, why is the boss sighing? !
  Is my report not doing well? !
  which data is wrong? !
  Why does he have this expression? Am I going to be fired? !
  The employee trembled and lowered his head to look through his folder, trying to find out the reason, and broke out in cold sweat.
  Gu Xiuyi raised his head from the phone, turned off the screen and threw it on the table, with a cold face: “It has nothing to do with you, continue.”
  Everyone saw that the poor little girl who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster in front of the PPT loosened her shoulders and her back almost gave way, but deep down in her soul It seems that the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe rises.
 Â
  The schedule of three days and two nights was tight and the task was heavy, Ji Ruan couldn’t stay in the room for too long, so he had to hurry down to see the venue.
  After sending a message to Gu Xiuyi to report his safety, he put his phone in his pocket, packed his luggage and rushed to meet Cheng Zizhang.
  The exhibition hall at the foot of the mountain holds several auctions here every year. The auction items are either priceless or have a long history. Therefore, a special storage room is set up in the exhibition hall, and the security is extremely perfect.
  What Ji Ruan had to do was to go to the storage room with Cheng Zizhang and several other teachers, and finally check and confirm tomorrow’s exhibits and auctions.
  As soon as Ji Ruan stepped into the room, he was amazed.
  Numerous display cabinets are arranged at different heights, and inside are all kinds of gorgeous or simple embroidery. The cold and faint white light on the top cannot hide its dexterity and delicacy at all.
  In order to better store the exhibits, the indoor temperature was much lower than the outside, and Ji Ruan felt chilly with his fingers exposed outside, no wonder Cheng Zizhang reminded him to add more clothes before going out.
  Ji Ruan followed Cheng Zizhang and the teacher, looking around, there were only a few Han embroideries in the exhibits, and most of them were the four famous embroideries such as Su embroidery and Hunan embroidery.
  Some were created by contemporary masters in recent decades, and some were made in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. They are so beautiful that Ji Ruan was a little dazzled after not seeing much.
  He put on white gloves, followed the guide and the teacher to carefully check each piece of work, and after confirming that it was correct, the teacher would lock the showcase and let Cheng Zizhang make a record.
  After a group of people walked and stopped for more than a dozen frames, a long-haired girl with a blue badge came to the door and ran towards them at a low pace.
  Ji Ruan had a bit of an impression that he seemed to be a close disciple of a certain Suzhou embroidery teacher.
  The girl obviously knew Cheng Zizhang very well, so she greeted him warmly, and then looked at Ji Ruan.
  “Oh, this is the new student my mother has worked so hard to get.” Cheng Zizhang patted Ji Ruan on the back and introduced.
  The girl covered her mouth in surprise: “Ah! You are that Ji…you look so good…”
  Ji Ruan didn’t know why she seemed to know herself, and smiled modestly: “Thank you.”
  After all, there was a teacher watching beside him, so Cheng Zizhang couldn’t keep chattering, and cut to the point: “Aren’t you watching the venue from above? Why? Are you here?”
  “Oh, I came to see you because of the lack of manpower,” the girl frowned, “We just added a new VIP seat, and we are too busy, why don’t you come with me to the third floor?”
  Cheng Zizhang said: “Isn’t the VIP seat already reserved? Why can’t you be so busy?”
  “No, this is a special VIP!” The girl clenched her fists in front of her chest, as if she would be nervous even if she said it.
  Cheng Zizhang made an expression of “I have never seen the world, so don’t scare me”, then turned to look at the teacher, and asked, “Teacher, look…”
  The teacher had a cold face, but he was actually very talkative, so he nodded Said: “Go, a few of us can do it here.”
  “Okay, thank you teacher.” Cheng Zizhang didn’t delay after hearing this, handed the folder to Ji Ruan, and was trotted out by the girl.
  The two were still muttering something along the way, Ji Ruan looked at their backs with a ballpoint pen, and heard Cheng Zizhang’s surprised “Hey”, followed by a few familiar words.
  But his ears are not good, and he can’t hear clearly from a distance.
  “Ji Ruan?” The teacher reminded: “Continue to work.”
  Ji Ruan came back to his senses, took off his gloves and took over Cheng Zizhang’s work: “Good teacher, tell me.”
  “The label of cabinet 18 is defaced, please replace it with notes. “
  “Okay.”
  “There is no abnormality on the 19th.”
  Ji Ruan ticked off the form in response.
  There are too many exhibits in the storage room, and Ji Ruan and the teacher have been busy for more than two hours before finishing them. At noon, the teacher paid him out of his own pocket to invite him to a small restaurant in the ancient town to eat some special dishes, and then came back to continue working.
  After thoroughly confirming all the exhibits at three or four in the afternoon, the teacher locked the door of the storage room, and Ji Ruan was called by Cheng Yunxiu to meet with a group of masters, all of whom Ji Ruan had seen in the news.
  By the time everything was over, the sun had gradually set.
  Ji Ruan rejected Cheng Zizhang’s invitation to have dinner together, and casually packed a soup and rice back to the hotel. When walking on the road, he realized that he was extremely tired, and his waist was about to break after standing for a long time.
  He took a breath and had to stop halfway and squat for a while before he had the strength to continue walking.
  On the small stone road near the B&B, a group of people can be seen from a distance in the shape of stars holding the moon. Seven or eight staff members in uniform surrounded the two people in the middle and introduced something enthusiastically.
  In the middle, one of the two men was wearing a simple light coffee-colored windbreaker, and their backs were cold, and the other was in a complete three-piece suit. Their lips kept opening and closing, as if they were speaking for the people around them.
  It’s so obvious.
  Ji Ruan stopped in place.
  Even if they couldn’t see their faces, they could tell it was Gu Xiuyi and Song Ling at a glance.
  Gu Xiuyi seemed to have a feeling in the back of his head, and he turned his head within a second or two.
  Then Ji Ruan saw that his indifferent face was stained inch by inch under the setting sun.
  Ji Ruan was stunned for a moment, and the hand on his back unconsciously let go.
  It wasn’t until Gu Xiuyi quickly walked in front of him, and the group of chattering staff rushed up, that Ji Ruan gradually regained his senses.
  After getting in, he found that Gu Xiuyi was holding a glass jar in his hand, which was full of familiar red fruit candies.
  I don’t know why Ji Ruan’s heart suddenly became full.
  He touched his dry lips due to lack of water, and his eyes fell on the sugar bowl: “…you, why are you here?” It can’t be that they are specially here to
  deliver candies…
  Ji Ruan couldn’t believe it in her heart, but he couldn’t stop blushing, and tried his best to pretend to be calm.
  Gu Xiuyi had a panoramic view of his expression, and could almost guess every thought in his heart.  Â
  He took the takeaway, took Ji Ruan’s hand, and gently rubbed his red-stained palm from the plastic bag, with a half-
smile: “Guess why I came here?”
They all took a few steps away in unison, turned their heads and pretended to play with their mobile phones.
  Ji Ruan was a little ashamed by those movements, he pulled out his hand and raised his eyes to stare at Gu Xiuyi.
  He was tired all day, his eyes were red, and he was a little tired, which made this look harmless, but more like being
coquettish.
  Gu Xiuyi was not attached to Ji ruan’s hand, took a step closer, took out a dark green envelope from his coat pocket, and put it in When it was in Ji Ruan’s hand, he raised his eyebrows,
  “It’s for consumption.”
  “…?”
  Ji Ruan bowed his head in astonishment.
  On the ink pad on the seal of the envelope, there are a few dignified and majestic words: VIP Invitation Letter.
  Gu Xiuyi smiled at the corner of his mouth, seeing Ji Ruan’s sudden stunned look, he tried his best to resist the urge to rub his face in front of everyone.
  Seeing that Ji Ruan’s sluggishness was gradually turning into anger, his cheeks were puffed up. Before his hair exploded, Gu Xiuyi lightly rubbed his cheek: “Okay, just kidding.” He stuffed the candy jar into
  Ji Ruan’s arms , holding his shoulders and walking forward.
  After putting some distance away from the people behind, he leaned his head close to Ji Ruan’s ear and chuckled softly,
  “Can you give me some more later in the evening?”
  Ji Ruan’s ears turned red.
