After "escaping" from the kitchen that day, I deliberately avoided Gu Lan for several days. It's not that I hate him, on the contrary, it's because I care too much about him. His focused eyes when he wiped the corners of his mouth, the touch of his slightly cool fingertips, and the low sigh, always lingered in my mind. I was afraid that if I got closer, he would see through my thoughts that I couldn't hide. That afternoon, I was in my yard, staring at a pond of water lilies, and the maid Xiao Tao came over with a bowl of iced green bean soup: "Miss, cool down. What's wrong with you these days? You are always absent-minded. You didn't even read the new story book that Young Master Gu sent someone to send." I took the bowl and stirred the spoon absent-mindedly. "Nothing, I just feel a little bored." "If you feel bored, go and play with Young Master Gu," Xiao Tao said as a matter of course, "When did you not go to the Gu Family three or five times a day?" I didn't say anything, and drank the green bean soup silently. The sweet and cool taste slid down my throat, but it failed to suppress the inexplicable irritation in my heart. Just as I was thinking, I heard familiar footsteps at the gate of the courtyard. My heart tightened, and I subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late. Gu Lan's figure appeared at the moon cave door, still wearing the refreshing dark blue robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walked slowly towards me. "I heard that someone has been upset these days and even threw away the book I gave him?" He walked to the stone table and sat down, with a barely perceptible teasing in his tone. My cheeks were slightly hot, and I said stubbornly: "Who, who is upset? I just... I'm not interested in reading recently." He raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the bowl of mung bean paste in front of me. There were still a few unmelted rock sugar on the edge of the bowl. "Really? You only drank half a bowl of your favorite green bean soup. It seems that you are really 'not interested'." I was a little annoyed by his exposure, "What do you care about me!" He was not angry, but chuckled, opened his folding fan, and fanned slowly. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. There will be a Dragon Boat Race at Qingfeng Lake outside the city tomorrow. It's very lively. Let's go and see it?" Dragon Boat Race? My eyes lit up. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Race is a grand event in Beijing and very lively. In previous years, Gu Lan took me there. The awkwardness in my heart was immediately dispelled by the anticipation. "Go! Of course!" Seeing that I agreed readily, the smile in Gu Lan's eyes deepened. "Then it's settled. I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow. "Well! "I nodded vigorously, and the previous haze was swept away. As expected, I am happiest with Brother Lan. He looked at my excited face, and the corners of his lips were always smiling. I don’t know if it was my illusion, but the way he looked at me today seemed to be more gentle than before. He sat quietly for a while, accompanying me to look at the water lilies in the pond, occasionally saying a word or two, and most of the time he was silent. But this silence was not awkward, but a kind of... He didn’t get up to say goodbye until the sunset dyed the sky red. "Go to bed early, don't stay in bed tomorrow. "He wanted to rub my head out of habit, but stopped halfway when he stretched out his hand, and patted my shoulder gently instead. The unfinished action made my heart jump again. Did he... also notice something? After sending Gu Lan away, I returned to my room and stared at the bronze mirror in a daze. The girl in the mirror still had a blush on her cheeks and her eyes were sparkling. How could she look annoyed at all? Xiao Tao was packing up her things and muttered, "When Young Master Gu came, the lady's mood immediately turned from sunny to cloudy. If you ask me, your awkwardness these days is probably related to Young Master Gu." I felt guilty about what she said, and said angrily, "You are the one who talks too much!"
