My Dear Classmate Chapter 62:
Feeling the familiar aura behind him, Gu Zhiran smiled slightly, continued to move his hands, and said, "Are you back?"
"Yeah, are you making a cake?" Qiao Zhishen rubbed her neck and said.
"That's right... Now that the teacher is not around, I'm afraid I can't do it well. Let's keep it simple for dinner today. I made dumplings. No, I should just be responsible for cooking the dumplings. The dumplings are made by my aunt at home. My mother came here at noon today, brought some vegetables and put them in the refrigerator. She also brought flower maw chicken soup, saying that it is better to drink in this weather." Gu Zhiran said while pouring the cake batter into the mold.
"It's such a wonderful life to have a mother!" Qiao Zhishen couldn't help but sigh!
When Gu Zhiran heard what he said, she couldn't help but pause. She put down the things in her hands, and turned to face him: "Ah Shen, from now on, my mother will be your mother!" Her gentle eyes were full of pity .
"Huh? Are you impatient to marry me?" Qiao Zhishen raised his eyebrows, not wanting her to worry about him.
"You want to be beautiful. You didn't even ask for marriage, but you just wanted me to promise to marry you. No way!" Gu Zhiran made a face at him, turned around and continued working on her cake.
"Of course, my marriage proposal will definitely be unforgettable for you forever." An idea flashed through Qiao Zhishen's mind.
"It's best, otherwise don't blame me for rejecting you! I'm going to put the cake mold in the oven, you're ready to cook!" Gu Zhiran pointed to the pot on the gas stove.
"Then I'll go get the dumplings out now." Qiao Zhishen let go of Gu Zhiran, and went to work aside.
The oven has been preheated in advance, Gu Zhiran put on heat-insulating gloves, carefully put the mold into the oven, then closed the oven door, set the time, and then quietly waited for the cake to come out of the oven.
When she finished her work, Qiao Zhishen had brought the dumplings and soup to the restaurant, so she took off her gloves and went to the restaurant for dinner.
Auntie’s hometown is in the northeast, so the dumplings are very authentic and delicious. The flower maw soup was cooked by Zhang Siqing herself. After four hours of cooking, the soup was thick and sweet enough. The two of them chatted while eating, and when they got rid of the food, the oven made a "ding" to indicate that it was finished baking.
Gu Zhiran couldn't wait to run into the kitchen to check her finished product, Qiao Zhishen followed her and shouted: "Don't worry, remember to wear gloves, don't burn it!"
As soon as Gu Zhiran turned on the oven, he was greeted with a strong smell of cake. She put on gloves, carefully took out the cake, and waited for the cake to cool before unmolding.
The cake was soft and fragrant, exuding the fragrance of milk and eggs. Gu Zhiran lightly cut a bit from the bottom of the cake, and put it in Qiao Zhishen's mouth: "How about the taste?"
Qiao Zhishen opened his mouth and took her finger in his mouth, and even licked it with his tongue, which made Gu Zhiran's body tremble slightly.
"Nothing serious." Gu Zhiran quickly took his finger out of his mouth.
"It tastes so good!" Qiao Zhishen completely ignored Gu Zhiran's accusation, and gave her a thumbs up.
"Really? I hope my aunt will like it. I'll get up early tomorrow and then cream and decorate the cake." Gu Zhiran smiled and put the cake embryo into a cake box, and then stuffed it into the refrigerator.
"That's fine, my mother likes such simple cakes." Qiao Zhishen walked to Gu Zhiran's side, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and looked at her dotingly.
Gu Zhiran nodded, and replied: "Okay!"
Considering that they will get up early tomorrow, the two of them packed up the dishes and went back to the bedroom to take a shower and sleep. Gu Zhiran was a bit full tonight, so she wanted to take it easy, let Qiao Zhishen wash first, and wash herself later.
When she came out of the shower, she found Qiao Zhishen sitting against the head of the bed, holding a box in his hand and staring at it. Seeing her come out, he waved to her: "Of course, come here!"
Gu Zhiran walked over as he said, and sat down beside him. He hugged her from behind and put his chin on her shoulder. He opened the box in his hand and said, "Of course, this is my mother. The platinum bracelet that was left behind." After speaking, he took the bracelet out of the box.
Looking at the style of the bracelet, in some years, it is not very gorgeous and complicated, but simple and crisp. It was well maintained by Qiao Zhishen, and the lights in the bedroom shone brightly on it.
"The bracelet is very beautiful, I was so stupid back then, the one that Lin Tianlan imitated couldn't be compared with it, but I believed it was real." Thinking of his own stupidity six years ago, Gu Zhiran said mockingly.
"Of course, I don't allow you to say that about yourself, it's all my fault." Qiao Zhishen hugged her tightly and said guiltily.
"Well, it's all over anyway, so let's take it as the test of time for our relationship, and we'll just do well in the future!" Gu Zhiran moved back, letting himself get closer to him.
Qiao Zhishen took the bracelet out of the box, then moved his body so that he was facing Gu Zhiran. His eyes locked on her tightly, and he said sincerely: "Of course, would you like to wear this bracelet and show it to my mother tomorrow?"
How could she refuse his affection? She nodded without hesitation, then stretched out her right hand and said, "Hurry up and help me put it on!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Qiao Zhishen's face, a little immature, like a kid, but so sincere. He swiftly opened the clasp of the bracelet, then circled her wrist, and buckled it, as if he had finally clasped this person.
"Are you happy?" Gu Zhiran couldn't help laughing when he saw Qiao Zhishen's childlike smile!
"Of course, since you know the meaning of this bracelet, if you accept it now, it means that you have agreed to be our daughter-in-law." In fact, both of them knew the meaning of wearing this bracelet, but Qiao Zhishen still endured it. He couldn't stop repeating it, as if he was afraid that Gu Zhiran would play tricks.
"I know, I know, but I still have to ask for marriage, I know...do you... have you?" After Gu Zhiran finished speaking, he tucked into the bed and went to sleep.
Qiao Zhishen turned off the light, then nestled in, hugged her, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, the two got up early, finished their breakfast, took the cake, bought a bouquet of platycodon flowers at a nearby flower shop, and then set off to the cemetery.
After Qiao's mother passed away, the neighbors felt sorry for Qiao Zhishen, so they discussed raising money to take care of her aftermath.
When Qiao Zhishen looked at the man in front of him, maybe blood was thicker than water, or maybe he was somewhat similar to himself, he didn't need to ask, he knew that this man was his father.
The moment Qiao Zheng saw him, his eyes were full of guilt and pity, but Qiao Zhishen only had resentment towards him. It was this man who failed his mother, and it was this man who indirectly killed his mother. How could he not hate him.
As for Qiao Zheng's plan to take Qiao's mother and himself back to City A, Qiao Zhishen unexpectedly cooperated. For nothing else, he knew that it was Mother Qiao's good intentions. Before he grew up, he was willing to live under Father Qiao's wing, so that Mother Qiao could feel at ease. In addition, the neighbors in city c are all good people, but their families are in financial difficulties, Qiao Zhishen is reluctant to cause them any more trouble.
Looking at Qiao's mother's photo, Gu Zhiran couldn't help admiring: "Ah Shen, Auntie is really beautiful!" She had a calm smile, gentle and graceful.
"My mother must be very happy to hear you say that! But this is a photo of her in college. Later, for life and to take care of me, she has long since lost her beauty. However, no matter what my mother becomes, she It is still beautiful in my heart!" How could the brilliance of being a mother not be beautiful!
Gu Zhiran tightened his hand with him, and said to Qiao's mother's tombstone, "Auntie, my name is Gu Zhiran, and I am Ah Shen's girlfriend. But..." Gu Zhiran paused, and held them tightly Raising her hands, the bracelet on her hand was shining under the sunlight at this moment, "Ah Shen has already given me the bracelet you left behind, hehehe... Don't worry, I will take good care of him in the future."
Qiao Zhishen turned his head and looked at Gu Zhiran, who had a serious but shy face, making a promise to his mother. He felt warm in his heart, and his eyes became more and more gentle as he watched her.
Feeling the scorching gaze from his side, Gu Zhiran turned his head to look back at him, with an unconcealable love in his eyes.
Gu Zhiran shook their clasped hands and said, "Hurry up and open the cake I made for my aunt."
"Okay!" Qiao Zhishen let go of her hand, opened the cake and placed it in front of the tombstone: "Mom, this is the cake that Ranran made for you. It's your favorite Qifeng, just a simple cake embryo."
"Auntie, I hope you like the cake I made. This flower was specially chosen by Ah Shen to give you, bellflower flower, your favorite." Gu Zhiran also squatted down and placed the flower beside the cake.
The two stood in front of Qiao's mother's tombstone, holding hands tightly, talking to Qiao's mother about every detail of their lives. They quarreled occasionally, and she occasionally complained about Qiao Zhishen in front of Qiao's mother. Qiao Zhishen promised in front of Qiao's mother that he would marry Gu Zhiran home as soon as possible, and then he would bring his wife and grandson over here.
It was not until the sky started to rain lightly that the two left holding hands.
The two of them had just walked to the parking lot when a man in his fifties approached him. The moment he saw him, Gu Zhiran obviously felt that Qiao Zhishen was holding his hand tightly again.
When the man approached, Gu Zhiran found that his facial features were very similar to Qiao Zhishen's. She didn't need to ask now, she already knew that the man in front of him who was not young but still handsome was Qiao Zhishen's father. politics.
Gu Zhiran knew Qiao Zhishen's resentment towards him, and was hesitating whether to say hello to him, but Qiao Zhishen had already led her past him, treating him like a stranger, without even looking at him.
"Ah Shen..." Qiao Zheng still stopped Qiao Zhishen.
Qiao Zhishen kept his footsteps, leading Gu Zhiran to continue forward, but a few words still popped out of his mouth: "You have no right to call me, especially today!" Gritting teeth.
