Chapter 157: His Surprising Calmness

After watching the snake, Guo Cheng Yu asked Wang Gu to go to the terrace garden to have a cup of tea with him.

The two people sat face to face, and Wang Gu looked at Guo Cheng Yu's body one more time.....and suddenly he revealing a rather funny laughter.

"What is it?" asked Guo Cheng Yu.

Wang Gu said: "you have gotten younger?"

"What is your obsession with height?" Guo Cheng Yu wondered. "I haven't gotten ahead yet? When you went away that year, I was 1.7 meters, and now I'm 182 meters. Why do you say I'm going backward?"

"I don't mean height. Im talking about your face."

"Face?"

Wang Gu nodded. "I remember especially asking Chi about this. Before we went to school, you were the oldest looking among us. At that time, we both took this thing easily and made fun of you ....saying that you are seventeen and look like twenty.....It's quite a turn....Now we're all about 30. You're looking like a twenty-something. Isn't it amaizing?

"This is what happened," Guo Cheng Yu said with a chuckle. "You've gotten bolder."

Wang Gu reluctantly shakes his face and sighs. "No, I haven't been growing in foreign countries all these years."

"You're not so shameless." Guo Cheng Yu laughed loudly, "that is the most happy you are, you must be short and old."

Wang Gu did not care about smiling, he put his feet on the veranda, his head leaning against a lamp post.....It is not like a human sitting. It is more like a snake twisting its body.

"You have discovered that you have been out for so many years and the Beijing life has not been reduced in taste," said Guo Cheng Yu.

Wang Gu blinked and lazily said: "I've been back for six months."

This really shocked Guo Cheng Yu.

"So, did you return on New Year?"

Wang Gu "..."

Originally, Jiang Xiao Shuai took a lie that was fabricated to Wu in order to help him against Chi and he did not want it to come true. Guo Cheng Yu could not help but sigh with emotion: "You have a really deep enough sense to hide."

"What is wrong....?" Wang Gu's voice as he said that was superficial. "I have a home in Beijing. Why wouldn't I come back?"

Guo Cheng Yu raised his mouth. "But I guessed you would be coming back soon."

Wang Gu tilted to Guo Cheng Yu. "How would you guess?"

Guo Cheng Yu smoked a cigarette and said, "While you were together for six years, then left for the horse to settle, and if you don't come back to chase it. The horse would have left the family away. Do you want to chase after the horse? So you have came back."

"I don't know!" Wang Gu stretched out his hand and said, "I really want to chase the horse.... I came more than half a year ago and I wanted to wait until now. If I tried to chase after the rope, I wouldn't even grab the rein....so I had to walk by myself"

"You like playing adventure games?"

Wang Gu said, "I am returning to my home in the next two days."

Guo Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes. "Are you going after him?"

"...."

Guo Cheng Yu picked up the cigarette but said lightly, "You can never see Chi and go away."

Wang Gu's attitude is still lazy. "How do you know?"

"I just know it."

After a long time, Wang Gu's lips overflowed with a smile.

"Guo Zi, I'm particularly annoyed by you with your cleverness. I really don't want to see anyone."

The two men talked for a while, and Wang Gu got up and said goodbye.

On the way to the door, a black poisonous snake coiled on Wang Gu.

"This snake is not bad, can you give it to me?"

"Didn't you just say you will return abroad in just two days?" Guo Cheng Yu deliberately reminded, "This snake is very poisonous. You just took it from me and couldn't bring it back...just leave it up."

Wang Gu grinds it. "It is beautiful."

Jiang Xiao Shuai just came to talk to Guo Cheng Yu. The old man would see Wang Gu and Guo Cheng Yu while he was walking inside.

"go..... home." Guo Cheng Yu pointed to Wang Gu.

Wang Gu glanced at Jiang Xiao Shuai and patted Guo Cheng Yu's shoulder.

"You're blessed, the kid's eyes are still pure."

"A kid....?" Guo Cheng Yu chuckled. " He is one year older than you."

Wang Gu could not help but sigh with piqued emotion. "You two are really a worth match..."

"Do I need to introduce the two of you?" asked Guo Cheng Yu.

Wang Gu, "Don't worry, I'm not keen on him."

After that, he quickly evacuated from Guo Cheng Yu and passed parrallel with with Jiang Xiao Shuai.

After Wang Gu left, Jiang Xiao Shuai also deliberately slicked back and looked at him. He casually asked Guo Cheng Yu, "Is he another garden watcher?"

"What did you see in the garden?" said Guo Cheng Yu. "That was my old classmate."

Jiang Xiao Shuai gave a fair evaluation, "He looks like a waiter."

"Yes," Guo Cheng Yu laughed. "He also served Chi for three years."

Jiang Xiao Shuai looks a strait as a jacket and quickly responds with a surprised look.

"Is he Wang Gu?"

Guo Cheng Yu squeezed Jiang Xiao Shuai's cheek, "Well aren't you clever."

Jiang Xiao Shuai looked like an annoyed enemy.

Guo Cheng Yu's heart was sweet and he deliberately asked, "What's the matter? Is there a sense of crisis in your heart?"

Jiang Xiao Shuai gave a cold cry, "This is your rival, I am worried for you."

Guo Cheng Yu did not understand it at first, but later he learned what Jiang Xiao Shuai meant.

Does he still dare to stay in that dead alley!

While screaming, a breeder suddenly rushed inside

"Mr. Guo, it's not good. The black snake was going crazy. It was trying to get out of the garden. When I put on protective gloves and went to catch it, it was gone."

The black snake is the snake which coiled l on Wang Gu. Guo Cheng Yu does not need to guess to know that the snake went with Wang Gu.... The snake he gazed at... did not appear to follow him.

"It's okay.... you should go back first."

The breeder looked awkward, "Mr. Guo, do you think that it will not bite someone when it gets out? The snake has a strong poison.....and you're saying I don't have to go outside and look for it?"

"Do not look for it." Guo Cheng Yu's attitude is very clear, "It will not be running around, you go be busy with your other issues."

**********

In the afternoon, Wu was filling the form at the office and his secretary came knocking.

"General Wu, Jiang brother is here."

Wu said, "Please let him come in."

Not a moment later Jiang Xiao Shuai's presence appeared in Wu's field of vision.

Wu stretched his back and sat on the couch, greeting Jiang Xiao Shuai.

Jiang Xiao Shuai's eyes were cloudy and wicked.

Wu found out that this means that Jiang Xiao Shuai had bad news... He forced him upstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've met a man in Guo Cheng Yu's snake garden today," Jiang Xiao Shuai said.

Wu carelessly asked: "Who?"

"You have to be mentally prepared for this." Jiang Xiao Shuai looked fearful.

Wu feared very much, "Who is it?"

".....Mr. Wang."

Wu took up a glass of iced watermelon and took a bite. He said to Jiang Xiao Shuai: ".....quench your thirst....then stop speaking nonsense."

The stance is to be cutting to Jiang Xiao Shuai.

Jiang Xiao Shuai held his hand and said, "I'm not joking with you."

"I know!" said Wu .

"When he comes back and he is not going to get in the way. He's not someone I don't know about....eh?"

The calmness of Wu's tone made Jiang Xiao Shuai feel very comfortable, and thought his concern was superficial. His apprentice was far more powerful in his position than he had imagined.

He ate two watermelons with pleasure, and Wu asked Jiang Xiao Shuai, "Was the Maldives fun?"

"There is nothing to do in that place, that is it has a good scenery, suitable for rest and vacation. There is no large-scale entertainment facilities. Most people go to the sun to bathe, read books, and go to bed. Oh, yes, diving, fishing and other water projects can be seen as fun. "

With a look of embarrassment Wu said, "I really want to go there!"

"You can tell Chi to accompany you. He should have a lot of free time as a civil servant.....right?" said Jiang Xiao Shuai.

Wu said with a sigh of relief. "I don't have it as free as him"

"You can find someone to manage your company for you. Such a big company can't run without you?"

"I'm afraid of someone making erroneous mistakes that person can't run my job."

Jiang Xiao Shuai was tired of being frightened by Wu. "You don't have any shortages, so why do you say that...?"

"I have to lay down a piece of my wealth for my son!" Wu blinked. "I also want my son to become a rich second generation. You see how much my life was with my father... I have to make my son look like him (probably Chi)."

Jiang Xiao Shuai laughed, "Where's your son?"

"He will be after the woman I will marry gives birth!"

"uuugh this again....."

In the evening, Chi and Wu ate fried noodles together. The noodles were hand-knotted by Wu's Ma and the sauce was cooked by Zhong Wen Yu. Chi is responsible for cooking noodles, and Wu is responsible for cutting cucumbers.

Every time Chi gave Wu noodles to eat, he looked very considerate. In fact, he did not want for Wu to secretly add spicy sauce. Wu always gets diarrhoea when he eats spicy foods....constipation added yellow color to the mouth. Then there would be no way to use the upper mouth, the real mouth or the lower mouth (the anus).

"Let me have some hot sauce."

Chi was like a father who ignored his nephew .....after he slapped him and let him go.

Wu did not move his chopsticks, and he stared at Chi and then he added a spoonful of hot sauce to his own spoon.

"Are you trying to make me plug you right now?"

Wu still did not move his chopsticks.

Chi was eating a bowl of noodles into the stomach. Wu's noodles were still hanging on he chopstick.

"My mother's deep-fried sauce .....she puts a lot of diced meat each time. If you don't eat it, you'll lose out." Chi's tone eased.

Wu's will is still stronger than the sauce. "It's not as delicious as the spicy sauce."

Another bowl of noodles was eaten, and Chi glanced across the room, and the noodles in Wu's bowl became glutinous.

Chi said: "Push the bowl."

Wu pushed the bowl to Chi.

Chi warned: "You can only have a little."

Wu nodded.

Usually, Wu can eat three big bowls and he had eaten two bowls and a half now, leaving the remaining half bowls deliberately.

Chi asked: "What happened?"

"Jiang Xiao Shuai and Guo Cheng Yu have just returned from the Maldives."

Poolside said lightly: "I asked you last time if you wanted to travel out there ...You didn't tell me."

"I don't have time," Wu said wishfully.

Chi stilled his chopsticks, looked at Wu and said: "Well, lets wait for your company to take annual leave, I will take you to Hawaii to surf."

Wu eyes lighted up. "Really?"

"Maybe if you finish your food....?"

Wu was sooo happy that the remaining half bowl of noodles soon got eaten.
