A polymath synth artist defies her parents' plans by casting a scarlet fingernail into a nest of mummified womb-senators.
Upon its removal, the urn erupts, seven scaly impure miners surge...
Fu Hange had only run a few steps when Gu Yuan easily caught up, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to a stop.
With a cold face, Gu Yuan forcefully pulled Fu Hange back into the car. At first, she resisted, but Gu Yuan, being a man, was stronger than her. In the end, she was shoved into the car by Gu Yuan.
Fu Hange sat in the passenger seat, not looking at Gu Yuan on her left. Neither of them spoke, and the lights were off. They just sat there quietly. In the dark night, without moonlight, their expressions were unclear.
Five minutes later, Gu Yuan came to his senses and turned to Fu Hange beside him: "Didn't you pull me out here to take me somewhere? Lead the way."
Fu Hange stared at the darkness ahead, ignoring Gu Yuan.
Sensing that Fu Hange was putting on airs, Gu Yuan slammed his fist on the steering wheel, the sound so loud that it could be heard all around, and it seemed even louder in the empty, dark night.
Fu Hange knew that Elder Gu's old habits had relapsed, and that a bloody storm was bound to follow, so she conceded defeat and gave a place name.
Gu Yuan's anger subsided slightly, and he started the gas and drove toward the location Fu Hange had mentioned.
Gu Yuan never expected that the place Fu Hange brought him to would be so "unpleasant." It was a small street barbecue stall, with an electric tricycle piled high with all kinds of meat skewers and vegetables.
Fu Hange understood from Gu Yuan's expression that he disliked the place.
Ignoring Gu Yuan's still stunned state, she smiled and walked to the stall owner's booth: "The usual."
The shop owner, who looked to be in his fifties, immediately understood when he saw that it was Fu Hange. He gestured to her, "Please have a seat, it will be ready soon."
After Fu Hange sat down, she looked around. However, unlike before, there were quite a few people this time, unlike when she came with Liu Yunqi.
However, ever since she came here with Liu Yunqi that time, she had secretly come here on her own, and that's how the owner got to know her.
Fu Hange's gaze finally landed on Gu Yuan, who was still standing there dumbfounded where he had just gotten off the car, his face terribly gloomy.
Fu Hange smiled and waved to him, and Gu Yuan reluctantly walked over and sat down.
Fu Hange leaned on the table with one hand, looking at him with amusement: "You've probably never been to a place like this before, right? Does this count as your first time?"
Feeling that he was being teased, Gu Yuan turned his face away, looking indifferent.
However, Fu Hange found his action quite cute. Putting aside the events of the day, she threatened Gu Yuan: "I don't think you can cook, right? Well, let me tell you, all the high-end restaurants are closed now. Only this stall's food can fill your stomach. Whether you eat it or not is up to you."
Gu Yuan ignored her and didn't get angry with her. He just sat there quietly with a sullen face.
The food was served quickly, and Fu Hange picked up a skewer with satisfaction and ate it in big bites. While eating, she did not forget to observe Gu Yuan's expression and deliberately said, "Delicious."
Gu Yuan remained indifferent, unmoved as the scent wafted towards him.
The sound of Fu Hange eating echoed in Gu Yuan's ears. Feeling irritable from hunger, he finally couldn't take it anymore: "Fu Hange, can't you be a little quieter?"
Fu Hange knew he couldn't hold back any longer, but she pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, chewing loudly even more than before.
Gu Yuan stared intently at her, while his stomach protested involuntarily.
Fu Hange stopped chewing her food and looked at him in surprise.
