At noon Sunday, Gu Mingxi cooked several dishes. At night, because there were leftovers, Gu Mingxi cooked three bowls of seafood noodles and ate them in the dormitory with Doudou and Pang Qian.

When eating noodles, Pang Qian felt that the noodles were a little light. Gu Mingxi said there was spicy sauce, so she added some. But after a few bites, she suddenly said to Gu Mingxi: "Oh, I have put too much spicy sauce, it's so spicy!"

Gu Mingxi saw that her bowl was red, put the chopsticks on her right foot, stood up and said, "Don't eat it, I'll cook another bowl for you."

Pang Qian quickly grabbed his trouser legs and said, "No need, I'm not hungry, you should eat first, your noodles will be cold in a while."

Gu Mingxi looked down at her and said, "Or, you eat my bowl? I just took two bites."

Pang Qian said with a smile: "I eat yours, then what do you eat?"

"I can eat your bowl, I can have some spicy food."

His tone was very ordinary, and Pang Qian immediately changed the two bowls of noodles to a seat. When eating Gu Mingxi's noodles, his face smiled like a flower.

Gu Mingxi took a bite of her noodles and frowned: "Why did you put so much hot sauce? It's so spicy."

Pang Qian said, "Who told your noodles to be so light?" As she said that, she put some hot sauce into the noodles, and she started to eat it with a snoring while being so spicy that she was sweating profusely.

Doudou witnessed the whole process while raising the noodles bowl. He didn't think the noodles tasted light at all. He just thought that this crab aunt was so "made" and he was so worried that Teacher Gu would be bullied by the crab aunt.

After dinner, Doudou immediately packed up the dishes. Pang Qian was embarrassed to watch the wall and watched such a young child wash dishes. She walked to the kitchen and said, "Doudou, I'll wash dishes. You go with Teacher Gu to watch TV."

Doudou looked up at her and saw that he was not much taller than the sink and had to step on a small stool when washing dishes. Seeing that he didn't move, Pang Qian simply carried him down and washed the dishes by herself.

Doudou stood aside and looked at her without walking out of the kitchen. After a while, he walked to Pang Qian and raised his face and whispered: "Aunt Crab, are you here to take Teacher Gu home?"

Pang Qian was stunned, looked at Doudou's pure eyes, and nodded: "Yes."

Doudou's head drooped again, and his little hands stomped on the sink wall and said, "Aunt Crab, will you marry Teacher Gu?"

Pang Qian was amused by his serious tone and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Doudou hesitated for a while and said, "Because, Teacher Gu has no hands. If you marry him, don't think he is troubled."

Doudou is still young, and her childish voice is clean and crisp. She says whatever she wants. After saying that, he quickly added, "Auntie Crab, don't be afraid. Teacher Gu rarely asks for help. He can do a lot of things, but sometimes it will be slower to do it. At this time, don't urge him. If you urge him, he will feel uncomfortable."

Pang Qian was moved, and all the words were in her throat. She listened quietly to Doudou to continue saying, "Teacher Gu can buy vegetables and cook. The dishes he cooks are delicious. But after he finishes the dishes, he can't bring them out. You have to help him. Teacher Gu can wash clothes, mop the floor, wash dishes, and repair computers! Teacher Ji's computer is broken, and all Teacher Gu can repair them. By the way, Teacher Gu can sew buttons! He sewed them with his feet, which is very powerful! However, Teacher Gu takes a shower slowly. Sometimes... Sometimes I will rub his back, I, I will help him untickle his stool and wipe his butt. When I was young, Teacher Gu also helped me wipe his butt..." His voice became lower and lower, "Um... But, this... this... you are a woman, what should I do!"

Doudou grabbed her scalp in embarrassment, and Pang Qian smiled "puff", but her eyes were wet.

Finally, Doudou said: "Aunt Crab, if you marry Teacher Gu, you must not divorce him, okay? After my mother and my father divorced, my father kept crying and kept crying, and if he cried, he would hit me. Teacher Gu told me that his parents also divorced, and his mother was also very sad. So, Aunt Crab, don't divorce Teacher Gu, otherwise he would be very sad."

A seven-year-old child already understood the meaning of "divorce" and solemnly entrusted Gu Mingxi to Pang Qian like a little adult. He raised his little head and said, "Teacher Gu always said, I am his two hands, Aunt Crab, will you do his two hands after you take Teacher Gu home?"

Pang Qian squatted down, regardless of the foam of dishwashing detergent on her hands, and hugged Doudou tightly and said, "I will do his hands. Doudou, don't worry."

Doudou's eyes turned red: "You have to promise me."

"I promise you that I am willing to be Gu Mingxi's hands."

"It has to be done for a lifetime."

"Yeah, do it for a lifetime."

Doudou finally smiled: "When you get married, can I go to have a wedding banquet?"

"Of course!" Pang Qian also smiled and touched his little head, "When the summer vacation is on, you are welcome to City E to play."

After washing the dishes, Pang Qian and Doudou held hands and walked out of the kitchen happily. Gu Mingxi looked at them in confusion and asked, "What did you two say in the kitchen just now?"

"Secret!" Pang Qian and Doudou shouted in unison.

On Monday, when Pang Qian came to Tongzhihua Primary School again, she found that the atmosphere of the school was completely different from the tranquility and leisurely weekends.

After class, children of all sizes were playing wildly on the playground, looking at their clothes, most of them were children from ordinary families. As soon as the class bell rang, they rushed back to the classroom. Standing on the playground, they could also hear the sound of reading from the two-story teaching building.

Pang Qian stood outside the back door of the classroom watching Gu Mingxi attend class.

The children didn't notice her. They were following Gu Mingxi with the textbook and reading English aloud. Gu Mingxi stood on the podium to lead the reading. When he raised his head, he saw Pang Qian, smiled slightly, and read the text seriously.

Pang Qian looked at him quietly with her arms in her arms, remembering the last meeting with him. Six years ago, in Shanghai, it should have been Gu Mingxi's most down-and-out period. Pang Qian would occasionally remember that when Gu Mingxi looked at her, there seemed to be a goodbye in her eyes.

Time left some traces on him. Now Gu Mingxi is in the blazing sun in Hainan, with a dark complexion and a strong and healthy body. His hair is cut very clean, his neck is shaved, and under his eyebrows covered by bangs, he is calm and restrained.

He has a brightly contoured face, very manly and heroic, but always has a gentle smile on his face. He never minds the strange gazes of others, nor does he bring others a sense of oppression. He will naturally ask for help, such as asking a taxi driver to pay from his pocket to find money, or ask a colleague to help him bring the recorder needed for English classes into the classroom.

Unlike his student days, Gu Mingxi nowadays has no clothes that are famous brands, and his feet are flip-flops all year round, but he takes care of himself every day. He spreads his English books on the podium, bent down and bows his head when turning pages, and cooperates with his lips and tongue. He teaches classes intently. Occasionally, he needs to write on the blackboard, so he holds chalk with his right foot, raises his legs high, and writes quickly and clearly on the blackboard.

This posture is very strange, but the students in the class didn't find it strange at all. When writing from left to right, Gu Mingxi's body had to move. Sometimes he would be too lazy to put down his right foot, so he simply jumped with his left leg. When he was beating, the shirt sleeves under his shoulders swayed, and Pang Qian outside the classroom also jumped hard.

Ji Xiu'er stood beside Pang Qian with her textbook in her arms, and whispered to her: "Ms. Pang."

Pang Qian turned around and Ji Xiu'er smiled at her: "Miss Pang, is Teacher Gu almost back to City E?"

Pang Qian opened her mouth and finally nodded silently.

Ji Xiu'er looked at Gu Mingxi in the classroom and said, "It's time for him to go back, do you know? I've been here for a year and have never seen Teacher Gu be as happy as these two days."

Pang Qian: “…”

"I'm probably the first reader of "My Crab Miss." Ji Xiu'er said, "While he drew and I looked at it, I asked him, is there really a Crab Miss? Teacher Gu just laughed and said, "I don't know, maybe, every boy has a Crab Miss in his heart, and every girl has a Mr. Ostrich in his memory. Sometimes, we just don't know."

She tried hard to hold back her tears and said, "I really envy you. You can find your Ostrich. I am also happy for Teacher Gu. He finally has the hardships and joys."

The bell rang, Pang Qian walked into the classroom, and a bunch of sixth-grade children gathered around Gu Mingxi to ask questions. He explained to them patiently, and finally someone noticed Pang Qian and shouted one by one: "Teacher Gu! Is this your girlfriend?"

Pang Qian helped Gu Mingxi pick up the tape recorder and textbook lesson plan. Gu Mingxi looked back at her and smiled and said to the students: "That's right, this is the teacher's girlfriend."

Several smart children rushed to shout: "Hello, Mrs. Gu!"

Pang Qian almost laughed crazy.

Pang Qian stayed in Sanya and spent the New Year with Gu Mingxi and Doudou. She stayed in school every day, and Gu Mingxi went to class, so she watched TV in his dormitory and occasionally used her laptop to handle some work remotely.

At noon, Pang Qian would follow Gu Mingxi to eat lunch boxes, which was a very simple dish, but Pang Qian didn't care at all. Gu Mingxi always gave her the meat in her lunch box, and Pang Qian didn't refuse, and ate it into her mouth in big mouthfuls. At this time, Gu Mingxi's face would show a gratifying smile.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Gu Mingxi finally got a little empty and took Pang Qian and Doudou out for two days.

They went to Wuzhizhou Island, the ends of the world, and also went to Nanshan Temple to watch Guanyin on the sea. In the evening, they returned to Gu Mingxi's home in Sanya Bay to eat seafood.

Despite the extra light bulb with an extremely large wattage, Pang Qian still felt very happy. This was her first date with Gu Mingxi in the true sense. She let herself get tired of him and hugged him from time to time with him.

The taste of love is so wonderful. Gu Mingxi's body temperature, his eyes, his smile, and his breath all fascinated Pang Qian. The beach in Sanya is a romantic love holy place. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi are walking side by side in the shallow sea water. When the emotions come, she tiptoed and raised her cheeks, and she will enjoy his affectionate kiss.

Doudou was joking around with her eyes blindfolded, shouting, "Teacher Gu is ashamed! I don't look at me, I won't look!" While he would still secretly look at the two intimate figures from his fingers.

After New Year's Day, every company entered the year-end sprint stage, and Jialai Investment was no exception. Even if Pang Qian was on vacation, the business calls were still coming one by one.

Gu Mingxi often hears Pang Qian answering the phone, sometimes with her leaders, sometimes with her colleagues, subordinates, and sometimes with customers.

Gu Mingxi didn't understand what she said about work. Sometimes, Pang Qian would communicate with customers in Europe or Hong Kong in all English. Her English is fluent and her pronunciation is very good. It is probably mixed with too many professional terms in the financial industry, and Gu Mingxi could not understand it even if she listened carefully.

Gu Mingxi discovered that although Pang Qian was usually laughing and heartless, she changed her whole body when she answered the work call. When treating customers, her voice softly, her tone was gentle and polite, and she had a slight smile on her face. When treating subordinates, she was concise, even a little harsh and cold. When treating her leader, she changed her appearance.

"Leader..." Pang Qian lay on Gu Mingxi's bed and complained to the phone, "I'm on vacation. My boyfriend and I haven't seen each other for a long time. You can't help me. After two weeks of vacation, I'll be back on January 8th... I know I'm very busy at the end of the year... OK OK, then I'll try to come back a few days earlier."
