"Have you eaten?" Jiang Anxia asked when she saw that Gu Yanzhu had stopped eating.

If it were because of her, that would be a terrible mistake.

"Mm." Gu Yanzhu nodded demurely, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The little girl's thinking is a bit too unconventional; sometimes he really can't keep up.

Well, he'll try his best to keep up with the girl's thinking.

"That's good. I'll go wash the dishes. You can't refuse." Jiang Anxia quickly said, afraid that Gu Yanzhu would refuse.

Before Gu Yanzhu could react, she quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks and headed to the kitchen.

Gu Yanzhu could only smile helplessly at this series of actions.

The young girl was so afraid of being rejected by him.

However, this is really not something a young girl should do; washing dishes too often can be very damaging to the hands.

As Gu Yanzhu pondered this, she walked toward the kitchen.

Once they reached the kitchen, he placed his hands on the little girl's shoulders and carefully led her out of the kitchen. Then he went back in and closed the kitchen door behind him.

Jiang Anxia held up her hands, her eyes blank.

How did she get out here? Wasn't she just washing dishes? Why did she suddenly change locations?

When she realized what was happening, Jiang Anxia quickly turned around and immediately saw the closed door.

Instantly, Jiang Anxia laughed in exasperation. All she was doing was washing the dishes, why was she being so defensive?

Is Gu Yanzhu planning to raise her into a useless person?

That's impossible! Gu Yanzhu wouldn't treat her like that.

Shaking her head, Jiang Anxia picked up a broom and began sweeping the yard.

If you won't let her wash the dishes, then she can sweep the floor. That way, her hands won't get hurt!

She doesn't want to become a useless person who can't do anything.

After cleaning the house, the two of them moved a stool to the hallway.

They nestled together, Jiang Anxia's head resting on Gu Yanzhu's shoulder, her eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying this rare moment.

They hadn't spent time together like this in a long time since she moved to town.

Now things are fine. Starting tomorrow, Gu Yanzhu can move to town.

Jiang Anxia didn't intend to ask Gu Yanzhu why he was allowed to come to town, because she believed that with Gu Yanzhu's strength, he could go back if he wanted to.

Moreover, they've moved to the town.

It was a very small thing for him.

"Baby, are you planning to go to Kyoto?" Gu Yanzhu's sudden voice was quite noticeable in the quiet environment.

“I will go, but not now,” Jiang Anxia said softly.

She did plan to go to Kyoto, but not now in her plans.

She wanted to wait until she had saved enough money before going to Kyoto and buying two or three houses to prepare for being a "couch potato" in the future.

It's okay to be tired now; you can enjoy life when you're old.

Jiang Anxia thought to herself with delight, a smile even appearing on her lips.

Gu Yanzhu pondered upon hearing the little girl's answer.

It doesn't matter what kind of bottom he is, as long as he stays by the girl's side.

He doesn't demand so much.

After all, it will be quite difficult for him to marry a young girl in the future.

He strives to become even better so that the girl's parents and brother will feel more comfortable entrusting her to him.

Otherwise, if you yourself are not capable, no matter how much you do, it will be impossible.

Gu Yanzhu understood this better than anyone else.

If you have no skills, no matter how well-off your family is, no one will marry their daughter to you.

Of course, there is one exception.

That means the family only cares about money and doesn't care about anything else.

The daughter was just a laborer in their family, working herself to the bone. They could just find any wealthy family, regardless of the family's character.

Gu Yanzhu has seen several of them in the past few months.

Therefore, I understand everything perfectly.

Even without these things, Gu Yanzhu still plans to work hard so that he can provide the girl with the best living conditions.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jiang Anxia propped her head up and tilted her head to look at Gu Yanzhu.

I just asked her, but now she's not replying.

"I'm thinking about how to marry my darling!" Gu Yanzhu's voice was deep and alluring, making Jiang Anxia's heart itch.

Jiang Anxia pursed her lips, trying hard to control her facial expression.

No, we can't let Gu Yanzhu see anything, otherwise where will she put her face?

"Then you'd better work hard, after all, I have many older brothers." Jiang Anxia said seriously with a stern little face.

The Jiang family alone has three members, not to mention the An family's members.

If Gu Yanzhu wants to marry her, it will be extremely difficult.

"I will." Gu Yanzhu wasn't good at sweet talk; he only knew how to offer practical advice.

Nothing is better than doing; what's the use of just talking?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anxia smiled.

Even if Gu Yanzhu didn't say anything, Jiang Anxia knew what he meant.

She could tell from Gu Yanzhu's words and actions that he cared about her a lot.

Gu Yanzhu looked at the little girl's smiling face with a gentle and doting expression.

The two fell silent, simply leaning against each other.

The atmosphere between them was warm and cozy.

It's like pink bubbles floating in the air.

(Author's note: I'd like to pop this pink bubble and let you two show off your love? (???))

The leisurely white clouds drifted across the sky occasionally, sometimes lingering for a moment.

The two of them spent an entire afternoon looking at each other.

Just as Gu Yanzhu was about to return to the next room, the door opened.

The two looked up at the sound and saw An Yuxi; he had returned.

An Yuxi stared at the two of them, her eyes wide with surprise.

Could this be Xiaxia's boyfriend? He had only heard of him by name, but now he had actually met him in person.

He's quite good-looking, but his eyes seem a bit too much.

How did he manage to kidnap his precious little sister?

He hadn't had enough yet! The more An Yuxi thought about it, the more bitter she felt.

"Third Brother? Why are you back?" Jiang Anxia's eyes widened slightly as she looked at An Yuxi in disbelief.

Didn't you say you weren't coming back today? Why are you suddenly back?

“My parents thought I was in their way and sent me back.” An Yuxi’s voice trembled slightly.

The more he looked at the person, the more familiar he felt, even the name seemed increasingly familiar.

"Third brother, my father's name is Gu Xiangjin." Gu Yanzhu seemed to see An Yuxi's doubts and took the initiative to say his father's name.

In an instant, An Yuxi's eyes widened even more.

Gu Xiangjin, then he knows who it is.

Like An's father, the two had little interaction, and as a result, they were not familiar with the Gu family.

You might see it during regular meetings.

But you'll only have a general impression, and it won't leave a lasting memory.

“No wonder you look so familiar. You and your dad do look somewhat alike.” An Yuxi nodded slightly.
