All these years, especially after knowing about Gu Si's origins, Gu Zi had often regretted it. If she hadn't pushed her impulsiveness above reason and pushed Qiu Yue away, how would she be right now? She may or may not have been so good, but at least she won't die at such a beautiful age.

He didn't want to find excuses for himself. Although not long after he returned from Taiwan, the Gu family had experienced a devastating catastrophe and he couldn't spare himself, he still owed Qiu Yue a debt that he would never be able to make up for.

He wasn't sure if he'd taken a fancy to her at that moment, but she'd stayed in his heart forever, and no matter what kind of feeling he had for her, they'd both given birth to a son.

He slipped off the stool and fell to the ground.

It was a bustling scene outside.

Mingxue had only taken two symbolic bites of rice. She had already eaten in the teahouse before, and with the garlic dishes on the table and her worry for Gu Zi, she was unable to eat.

Teacher Tang was delighted to see her like this. She gave her some spicy and sour potato chips and said, "Teacher Ming, eat some food." This dish was fried at the very front. Even the pot didn't have the taste of garlic.

"Thank you, I can do it myself." He did not notice the furtive stares from the crowd. The Madam was going to personally serve the dishes, so this must be his future mistress. However, this young mistress looked so young, she could even be left as a child's wife for young master …

Lu Feng was a bit braver. He dared to come and take the dish, and even tried to get close to his after he had eaten it, "Miss Ming likes to eat sweet potatoes? "I also like this dish. Ever since I was young, I loved eating potatoes, mashed potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato chips, and so on."

Ming Xue Mo hated his nonchalant attitude. When they went out together, Gu Zi asked if he could eat, but he was fine. Not only did his appetite get better, he was even in the mood to pull some strings. Humph!

"I've loved potatoes since I was a kid." Mingxue said lightly.

Lu Feng's eyebrows started to rise, and his mouth started to twitch. Seeing that he was about to start dancing again, Ming Xue Mo seized the opportunity and calmly continued: "But what I like the most are French fries and potato chips."

As if someone had pointed a acupoint at Lu Feng, Lu Feng's eyebrows and mouth suddenly stopped moving. Cold sweat dripped down his face. Did she mean that there was a generation gap between them? Was there a mistake? He was only five years older than Director Gu, only five years old!

Lu Feng did not dare to speak anymore. He resentfully put down his chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg, and started to gnaw on it … To put him in a difficult position in front of so many people, where's their war friendship? She was clearly being rather courteous to him just now … A woman's face is like a sky with three vents. It changes as soon as you say it.

Although Teacher Tang did not show any change in expression, but in her heart, she was very satisfied with Ming Xue Mo's performance. She often taught her children to treat others with courtesy and gentleness. Even if she wanted to curse your mother on the surface, she had to pay attention to her manners and smile as she cursed her mother. Moreover, she had to not shout loudly. Unfortunately, none of her three children had received her teachings, but fortunately, there was now a girl who understood the essence of her educational philosophy, and the development of Gouzi was very good.

Un, not bad, not bad …

The meal came to an end with each of them being careful.

After the meal, the Rising Sun program began. There were three people from the Gu family, four people at a table. Some were playing Landlord, some played mahjong, and some were playing mahjong. There were a variety of things that could not be understood by Mingxue.

Gu Si's eyes flickered with the desire to try. When Ah Lie symbolically asked, "Young Master, do you want to play mahjong?" And when Teacher Tang didn't show any signs of wanting to play mahjong, he immediately raised her hand and excitedly said, "Yes!" He also remembered that she was happier alone than in front of others, so she wanted to pull Ming Xue Mo along with him, "Big Sister Xue Mei, you come and play too."

Mingxue shook her head hesitantly. She didn't know how to play mahjong, but Gu Zi, who had said that he would teach her … "No need. You play by yourself."

"Oh." Gu Si tossed her over to Teacher Tang. "Grandma, help me greet big sister Xue Mo." He couldn't wait to ask A-Lie to set the table. Usually, his father wouldn't let him touch these things. Today, it was rare for him to be in a bad mood and miss his meal. He definitely couldn't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity.

He started to move, thinking: I want to win back the hundred and fifty thousand that flew away!

The table was quickly set up. A'Lie, A'Mo, A'Xin, Gu Si, the four of them sat at the table. Originally, A-Lie told Lu Feng to go up as well. However, Lu Feng had just suffered a blow and lacked the strength to fight. He said that he was going back.

Teacher Tang didn't even try to persuade him to stay for a bit. She just said, "Feng, come to my house often and play."

Lu Feng looked at Ming Xue and then looked at A'Xin, and shook his head heartbroken, "Forget it, I can't hurt you if you come too often."

Looking at the huge casino's garden, he turned around and said to Ming Xue Mo, "Teacher Ming, let's go somewhere else."

"I want to go and see Big Brother Gu." Ming Xue Mo said bluntly. She always pretended to be a well-behaved girl in front of her parents, saying whatever she wanted to say and what she wanted to say. However, in front of Gu Zi, and in front of his family, she had the courage and freedom to say whatever she wanted to.

Teacher Tang had no reason to disagree, so she said, "That's good as well. Zi Wen hasn't eaten lunch yet, so why don't you send him something to eat?" She led Mingxue back to the main hall. First, she told her mother to prepare two plates of snacks. Then she pointed upstairs and said, "The first room to the left of the stairs is his room."

Mingxue looked up at the silent second floor and said to Teacher Tang, "Auntie, can you give me a bag of balloons?"

"…" Teacher Tang was an incomparably intelligent person, so she was unable to immediately guess her intentions. However, she complied with her request and told the servant, "Go to the storehouse to see if there are any balloons."

After a long while, the servant came back with a bag of colorful balloons, handing them to Ming Xue Mo, "Teacher Ming, this is what you want."

Ming Xue Mo took it and carried the snacks and the balloon upstairs. She held the plate with her left hand and tapped twice on the door with her right.

Gu Zi, who was in the room, woke up from her grief, but she forgot to think about when the family had become so civilized that she could knock on the door when she entered.

"The door isn't closed. Come in." he said sadly.

Ming Xue Mo turned the doorknob and entered before timidly calling out, "Big Brother Gu."

Gu Zi asked and realized it was her. He was still sitting on the floor, unmoving. He said in a depressed tone, "Girl, Big Brother Gu is a bit annoyed right now, so he doesn't have the time to accompany you. Go and play with Gu Si'er, okay?"

Mingxue placed the tray in front of him and sat cross-legged beside him, saying, "I'll just quietly sit here. If I don't disturb you, you'll just have to trouble yourself."

"…" Gu Zi asked in silence. You're annoying me, why does this sound so weird?

Forget it, let her be. Where did he have the heart to care about her now?

he asked, leaning back against the stool. Ming Xue Mo was just like she said before, quietly sitting beside him. She didn't say a word, she just picked up the bag of balloons and blew them one by one, blowing them out, making a knot, throwing them on the floor, blowing the next one.

After a dozen different colored balloons were lying on the board, Gu Zi finally couldn't continue to pretend not to see anything. Puzzled, he asked, "Little girl, what are you doing?"

Ming Xue's cheeks puffed as she finished another half-blown balloon. Then, she said simply, "Breathe out."

Seeing Gu Zi's puzzled expression, he explained in detail, "Every time I'm in a bad mood, I'll blow the balloon all by myself. I'll blow out all the depression, resentment, and sadness in my heart and put them into the balloon, then …" She stood up and aimed at the balloon she had just blown. She stomped on it, and when the balloon exploded, she continued, "Let it explode in the air and die with the wind."

Gu Zi looked at her in astonishment. Wasn't this the same principle as shouting loudly at the vast sea? But since she could come up with this method, it was obvious that she wasn't in a good mood.

His mood was also dark. He knew that he wasn't the only one who was in a bad mood, his mood would be better. He also accepted her technical instructions, picked up a red balloon and said, "I'll try it too."

Gouzi pulled the balloon with both hands and blew a few times. A big balloon was blown out, but due to his inexperience, he was in a fluster when he tied the knot. With a "whoosh" sound, the balloon took advantage of the situation and flew out like a rocket. He used a kind of 'it bullies people' gaze to look at Mou Ming Xue, complaining to her, "Look at it, it has flown away."

Ming Xue Mo pursed her lips and returned one to his hand, "Try it again. Don't move once you're done boasting. I'll teach you how to tie the knot."

"Alright." Gu Zi asked. The blow was soon done. He grabbed the opening of the balloon with both hands, not letting the air escape. "What do we do now?" he asked humbly.

Mingmei leaned over, placed her left hand on his right hand, and pinched the balloon. "Hold it firmly in your hand." His right hand guided his left hand to grip the balloon's mouth and pulled it back until it was long enough to tie a knot. Then, he made his left and right hands coordinate with each other and slightly adjusted the direction to spin the balloon mouth.

The previous steps had been done in an orderly manner, but at the last moment, Gu Ziwen had used too much force and broke the balloon with a bang. Because of the close proximity of her face to the balloon, the fragments from the explosion had even destroyed her forehead.

She could not help but pout in pain. Her hand subconsciously covered her forehead, protecting it from the pain.

Gu Zi asked and hurriedly pulled her hand away, pushing away her bangs. He said nervously, "Let me see." Actually, there was nothing, but he felt that the skin color was different from other places, "Ya, it's red."

Ming Xue Mo's eyes were filled with hidden bitterness, "Why are you so stupid?"

Gu Zi asked when he had admitted defeat. "It's not going to be three, let's do it again!"
