After traveling back, I became a group favorite

Chapter 200 200. Happy Birthday

Gu Jinfu is impatient, he hesitated and said:
"That...won't you open it and take a look?"

Now that he has said that... Gu Qingjiu opened the gift box with a light smile.

What caught my eye was a pair of dark blue fighting gloves.

"I asked someone to customize it..."

Although Gu Jinfu was happy, his eyes looked elsewhere uncomfortably, and he scratched his head:
"Hope you like it."

Gu Qingjiu recalled her experience of fighting against him before.

At that time, Gu Qingjiu was using the fighting gloves temporarily borrowed from the martial arts hall.

Common gloves are inevitably old.

What's more, they are all men's models. If they don't fit well, they will inevitably be a little powerless.

He must have noticed it since then.

"I like it very much, thank you."

Gu Qingjiu's bright smile hit Gu Jinfu's heart like a bullet.

"No, you're welcome..."

Gu Jinfu felt dizzy in his brain, and a warm current flowed out of his nose.

Gu Xizhi had no choice but to temporarily pull away Gu Jinfu who was still a nympho:
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I'll take him to the bathroom first."

"Well, then I'll trouble you."

After the two of them left, Gu Qingjiu noticed that the table was covered with cupcakes.

She picked up one of them and began to taste, exclaiming:
"The taste of this dessert is really good..."

Gu Mingxi had just finished working in the backstage kitchen. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he heard his mother praise his craftsmanship, and smiled modestly:

"Just regular cupcakes..."

"Ordinary people can reflect the superb skills." Gu Qingjiu turned around and saw that it was him who came, and he knew that among these few people, it should be the person with the best cooking skills who can make this kind of taste.

She hands a cake to the other party:

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's nothing." Gu Mingxi smiled calmly: "My job in the hotel is nothing more than this, it's just a different place to cook."

In fact, he was happier in his heart than he showed:
"Mother praised me, that's great..."

The uncle housekeeper led a few maids and brought up the meals prepared in advance.

Everyone sat around the dining table, and Gu Qingcheng also helped Mr. Gu walk down from the second floor.

"Grandpa, mother!"

A series of joys made today's Gu Qingjiu more lively.

Seeing grandpa and mother, she happily ran towards them and hugged her mother.

There was the familiar smell of benzoin on Gu Qingcheng's body, which made Gu Qingjiu relax.

Mr. Gu patted his granddaughter's head kindly, and looked at the group of friends behind her.

Several juniors bowed to the old man one after another:
"Grandpa Gu is good."

"Oh dear, everything is fine, everything is fine!"

Seeing that his granddaughter can make so many friends, Mr. Gu is also very pleased:

"Please take care of our little Jiu."

Everyone bowed their heads humbly:

"Where."

"It's Miss Gu who helped us a lot..."

Gu Qingcheng let go of Gu Qingjiu's embrace, and gently pushed her:
"Go ahead and have fun, your friends are still waiting for you!"

Gu Qingjiu glanced at her mother and grandfather gratefully, and nodded.

Then the elders went upstairs to rest satisfied.

A few people gathered around the dining table, and Xi Ruixue proposed to play truth or dare while eating.

"Okay!"

After everyone agreed, rock-paper-scissors began.

In the end, the winner of the first round was Gu Xizhi, and the loser was the birthday star Gu Qingjiu.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Gu Xizhi thought hard, and finally asked seriously:

"So far—is there anyone you like?"

Once such a peachy question was asked, it immediately aroused everyone's imagination.

Amidst the urging voices, Gu Qingjiu calmly smiled and said:

"Yes, I have,"

Facing everyone's probing gazes, Gu Qingjiu didn't feel that this was an embarrassing thing to say:
"My relatives, my friends, are all the people I like."

"what--"

Gu Qingjiu's answer was disappointing, but she couldn't find any faults.

Gu Xizhi drooped his eyes, and the slender eyelashes covered the light in his eyes:
"you're right."

"Come on, next question!"

Under Xi Ruixue's command, the winner of the second round was Gu Wangchu, and it was her turn to ask Shen Man.

Gu Wangchu blushed and couldn't think of any problems.

After all, in her previous life, she basically...had never participated in any entertainment like this.

In the end, they only asked about the activities that Shen Man was good at.

"Hmm... flower arrangement, beading, embroidery..." Shen Man's answer surprised Gu Anyang on the side:
"No, sister Shen, what you are good at is growing flowers?!"

"what's wrong?"

Shen Man rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

Gu Anyang remembered that every time he went to Sister Shen's office, he would see a bunch of flowers on her balcony.

It's just... By the time he went to see it next time, he had already replaced it with other kinds of flowers.

Gu Anyang told what he saw and heard:
"Can you be considered good at this?"

"You don't care about the beauty." Before Shen Man could speak first, Xi Ruixue retorted before her.

Just because she and Gu Anyang were at odds, and Gu Anyang was not happy, it was she who was happy.

Then we played a few more rounds, and after thirty years of drinking, everyone was basically drunk to some extent.

Gu Qingjiu ordered the housekeeper to arrange rooms for these guests, and then she walked to the open-air balcony on the second floor alone, trying to sober up alone.

The night wind gently blew on her reddish cheeks, bringing a little coolness.

In the ears, there is the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other.

Looking up, on the gray-blue sky, the bright moonlight is shining with the stars, its light is sometimes covered by clouds, and sometimes it reveals its true face.

Everything seemed to be wrapped in a layer of veil by the moonlight, appearing silent and peaceful.

Gu Qingjiu looked down from the second floor. The outside of Gu's house was built like a big garden. The outermost layer was a high wall, and then there were orderly trees. The trees were separated by grass. It grows thickly, more than half a person's height, and the top is neatly trimmed by the gardener.

Therefore, it looks very neat from a distance.

However, in this silent night, she could vaguely see a figure hiding behind a big tree at some point.

The shadow moved quickly from far to near, first the big tree, then the grass, and then he pushed through the grass and walked towards Gu's house step by step.

"There is a thief?!"

Gu Qingjiu only felt that the alarm bells were ringing, and most of the original drunkenness was dispelled.
And when that mysterious black figure stood on the grass, under the hazy moonlight, after Gu Qingjiu saw the person's face clearly, his eyes widened in surprise:
"Why is it him?!"
