Gu Li also showed a standard perfect smile with eight teeth, and the two of them took several photos together.
He finished the video, and Gu Li continued eating as if nothing had happened. Su Nian was holding her phone with a silly smile on her face, sending several photos to Nuo Nuo on QQ, along with a trembling leg emoji.
Gu Zi Chen's face was gloomy, and he had an urge to scold her severely.
He patted Su Nian's shoulder, gesturing for her to pick up her phone.
Su looked at him in a daze for a year, suddenly enlightened, handed over the phone, "Do you want to play? There's Greedy Snake, it's very fun, here, just lend it to you for a while, hurry up and save power."
She pouted her red lips, with an unwilling expression on her face.
Gu Zi Chen: "......"
Gu Li pursed her lips and smiled, looking charming and attractive, attracting the flash of cameras around her, with many people taking out their phones to sneak a shot.
Gu Zi Chen grabbed the phone from Su Nian's hand and pressed it against her temple, taking a photo.
"Huh?" Su Nian hadn't even reacted yet, when she saw Gu Zichen take out his phone and fiddle with it for a while, before calmly tossing the phone to her, continuing to eat peacefully.
Su Nian brought it over and took a look, speechless as she twitched the corner of her mouth.
The wallpaper on the screen had changed to a photo of her and Gu Zichen, with Gu Zichen's face looking stern and handsome, while she looked silly and confused, like a couple taking a romantic photo together.
"Hey, why did you change the wallpaper to our photo together? It's so ugly! You even enlarged my face, without whitening or smoothing it..." Su Nian complained.
Everyone's gaze towards them became even more subtle.
Gu Li smiled mysteriously and took a sip of water, casting a faint glance at Gu Zi Chen.
Gu Zi Chen raised an eyebrow, and in the instant their eyes met, it was as if a spark of electricity flashed between them, only to vanish without a trace in the next moment.

With a full wine and a full meal, everyone left the table one after another. Su Niannian also went home with Chen Yuan.
On the road, Chen Yuan carefully asked: "Nian Nian... what's your relationship with Zhi Chen?"
Although he has a good relationship with Gu Zichen and thinks Gu Zichen is very suitable for Su Niannian, but whenever he thinks that his own sister wants to fall in love with another man, he feels uncomfortable.
Su Nian: "He's okay, he's a bit annoying, but he's really not bad, helping me with my homework, working hard without complaint, and just now he even saved..." She quickly shut her mouth, afraid that Chen Yuan would worry if he knew she had fallen.
Chen Yuan asked in confusion: "What just happened?"
"It's nothing, just a slip of the tongue, brother you can drive now." Su Nian quickly changed the subject.
——
The old family home.
The banquet at noon is for others to see, and in the evening it's a birthday banquet for Gu's family.
For Gu Zichen, the Gu family never had a home-like feeling.
Ye Siyun has become clever over the years, covering up all her dislike for him with a warm and caring smile, making people who don't know better think that this is such a harmonious family.
Gu Zichen was too lazy to pretend to be enthusiastic with her, so he perfunctorily responded and left early.
Even so, when he returned home, it was already past 10 o'clock at night.
He sat in the car and habitually glanced at Su Nian's window, shining with a bright orange-yellow light, apparently not having slept yet.
Maybe she's watching her favorite cartoons, maybe she's following the eight o'clock soap operas, or maybe she's playing childish snake games, he thought to himself.
He stared blankly for a while, as if he wanted to maintain this action forever.
The city is filled with lights from every household, yet there has never been a single lamp willing to shine for him.
