The Tang Family’s Seven Os

u An close with a person?

He glared gloomily at Tang San Yuan, then slammed the door of the guest room in anger.

Tang San Yuan didn’t notice Xu Jiang Bai’s eyes and kept looking down at Gu An, his cheeks burning inexplicably and his heart beating uncontrollably and violently a few times.

He looked at the top of Gu An’s hair and couldn’t help but ask softly: “Are you this nice to everyone?”

Gu An kept his hands moving, the corners of his mouth hooked up and his voice lowered, “No, I will only be nice to my future Omega.”

So it was because he was pretending to be his Omega that he had this benefit, Tang San Yuan suddenly envied Gu An’s future Omega.

When Xu Jiang Bai came down from the shower, Tang San Yuan and Gu An were drinking tea with Grandpa Gu, chatting from time to time in a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

A trace of jealousy flashed across his face, the three of them sitting together like this, the atmosphere was as cordial as if he couldn’t interfere in any way, as if he was just an outsider while they were like a family.

He stood at the corner of the stairs, pausing in silence for a moment before raising a smile and walking over, greeting in a relaxed tone: “Grandpa, it’s been a long time.”

Grandpa Gu’s eyes were half-open as he gave him a glance and gave a ‘en’ as a sign of agreement.

While Grandpa Gu’s attitude was cold, Xu Jiang Bai was not in the least bit discouraged, as if he had not noticed the coldness in Grandpa Gu’s expression, he smiled and said: “Grandpa, did you receive the tea leaves I gave you? Those teas are all the ones I bought with great difficulty, they are light, sweet and delicious, and should suit your taste.”

Grandpa Gu half closed his eyes and looked at him, “I had those tea leaves of yours returned, I never accepted them, naturally I don’t know what they taste like, you don’t need to buy them for me again, I don’t need your tea leaves, I prefer the tea leaves from my future grandson-in-law.”

Xu Jiang Bai naturally didn’t say anything about those tea leaves until Grandpa Gu did, and when he asked this, he just wanted to let Grandpa Gu know his intentions.

As for the ‘future grandson-in-law’ that Grandpa Gu mentioned, he didn’t know that Grandpa Gu was referring to Tang San Yuan and only thought that Grandpa Gu was evading him.
After all, he had seen Gu An’s live broadcast, and even though Tang San Yuan was different, he and Gu An had only known each other for a week, and with Gu An’s character like that, he definitely wouldn’t fall for someone so easily and so quickly.
At most, it is just a favourable impression, it is not enough for Grandpa Gu call him ‘grandson-in-law’.

But his tone obviously darkened for a moment, and his voice carried a hint of resignation as he said: “Every time I came to see you, you were always busy, and I am always worried about your health, but now that I see you so healthy, I’m relieved.”

Grandpa Gu’s voice was cold as he said: “I don’t need you to worry about me, if there’s nothing else, you should go.”

“Grandpa, don’t treat me like this……” Xu Jiang Bai murmured, looking towards Gu An for help, seemingly not wanting to leave, only calling out weakly, “An Ge……”

Gu An lifted his eyes slightly to look at him and said in a light voice, “I’ll ask the housekeeper to send you out.”

Xu Jiang Bai’s already snow-white face became even paler as if it had lost blood, he gently bit his lips once and nodded reluctantly, “Okay……then I’ll go first, I’ll see Grandpa again when there is time.”

Grandpa Gu sniffed and gave him a look, his gaze sunken, “Don’t call me Grandpa, I don’t have any relationship with you, only my grandson and future grandson-in-law, can call me Grandpa.”

Xu Jiang Bai hung his head low, his face obscure, half a day before he answered, “Yes, Grand……old Mr Gu……”

After he finished, he raised his head and looked at Gu An again before finally turning around and walking out, his hand hanging at his side clenched tightly.

Tang San Yuan looked at Grandpa Gu with some surprise, he did not expect that the loving and kind Grandpa Gu in front of him would also have such a stern and ruthless side, the current Grandpa Gu was finally somewhat similar to the tough politician with a strong hand on TV.

He looked at the frosty sharpness on Grandpa Gu’s face, and in his heart he couldn’t help but be thankful that just now Grandpa Gu didn’t use this look on him, otherwise he would have been too scared to say anything, thinking about this he couldn’t help but admire Xu Jiang Bai a little.

Gu An shore held his hand and rubbed the back of his hand as if to reassure him.

Tang San Yuan smiled at Gu An, although he was a little curious about Xu Jiang Bai’s identity, he and Gu An had only known each other for a few days and he was not qualified to pry into his family’s affairs, so he did not ask much.

After Xu Jiang Bai left, the depressing atmosphere in the house gradually dissipated and returned to the calmness that had existed before he arrived.
When it was time for lunch, Grandpa Gu became the kind and gentle Grandpa Gu again.

Many of the dishes on the table were Tang San Yuan’s favourites, while the lotus root, which he could not eat, did not appear on the table.
It seems like Gu An had greeted the kitchen since early on.

The meal was enjoyed by the guest and the hosts.
Gu An served Tang San Yuan with dishes from time to time, which did not make him feel the slightest restraint or discomfort.
Although Grandpa Gu was strict, he did not have many rules when it comes to eating.
Tang San Yuan thought he would uphold the rules of eating without talking1The full saying used is actually 食不言寝不语 (shí bù yán qǐn bù yǔ) which means to eat without talking and sleep without speaking.
It is an old Chinese saying which means that don’t talk while eating, so as not to affect digestion, and don’t communicate with people before going to bed, so as not to affect the quality of sleep..
Unexpectedly, during the meal, Grandpa Gu not only talked and laughed with them, but also occasionally said a few jokes, which made the atmosphere harmonious and interesting.

Tang San Yuan couldn’t help but think that Grandpa Gu was really an enlightened old man and it was a pleasure to spend time with him.

Grandpa Gu didn’t forget to emphasise that he was a stylish old man and took out his mobile phone to add Tang San Yuan as friends on the chat app , saying that he wanted to chat with his ‘future grandson-in-law’ when he had nothing else to do.

Tang San Yuan was already feeling a bit guilty about joining hands with Gu An to deceive Grandpa Gu, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
If he could make Grandpa Gu happier by chatting with him, that would be a good thing, and he was naturally willing to do so.

After lunch, Grandpa Gu is old after all and is physically weak, so he let Tang San Yuan and Gu An have fun and went back upstairs to rest.

After Grandpa Gu left, Gu An took Tang San Yuan’s hand and led him to a piano.
The piano was pure white, and from the style of the piano and the degree of wear on the corners of the piano’s side, it was clear that the piano had been sitting here for some years, but it was well preserved and should have been taken care of.

The sunlight from the window shone right on the piano.
Gu An stood in front of the piano and gently pressed his fingers on the keys of the piano a few times, the musical notes playing out following his fingertips.

Gu An looked at the piano, a touch of tenderness crossed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, his voice was slightly low: “This piano was left behind before my mother was born, she used to be very fond of music and playing the piano.”

Tang San Yuan reached out and touched the smooth surface of the piano, he hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but ask: “How did uncle and aunt die so young……”

“It was a car accident, they collided with Xu Jiang Bai’s family’s car, at that time Xu Jiang Bai’s parents also died, only he survived.
The Gu family and the Xu family were supposed to be family friends, but something like this happened.” Gu An replied in a low voice and said nothing more, only looking up and smiling faintly at Tang San Yuan: “I’ll play a song for you to listen to.”

Tang San Yuan thought he looked a little sad, probably missing his mother and father, so he just nodded and didn’t say anything more, silently and quietly accompanying him and watching him play the piano.

Gu An sat in front of the piano, his fair and slender fingers playing on the black and white keys, the wonderful and vivid music slowly flowing out.

The guitar-playing Gu An was wild and unrestrained, while the piano-playing Gu An looked like a reserved prince.

Tang San Yuan looked at him quietly, his heart beating with the notes.
The afternoon sun shone on his body, giving him a layer of golden light, with a warmth that made people feel at ease.

Tang San Yuan seemed to understand Gu An’s fans a little bit, such a good person shining brightly, who wouldn’t like it.
