Xue Fu had the best meal she had ever had since she transmigrated.

She looked at Gu Chong with starry eyes as she ate.

Gu Chong's face was expressionless, and Xue Fu couldn't tell how he felt about her performance today.

She thought to herself that she should sing her own praises again later, so that he wouldn't give up on her!

She's determined to cling to him! She's absolutely going to!

"Gu Chong, your cooking is absolutely delicious!"

"I am so lucky to be able to eat your cooking!"

"I'm so happy~"

Gu Chong glanced at her bright, fox-like eyes, and his heart warmed considerably.

Although he is a bit troublesome, he is very good at being charming and pleasing, so he is not annoying.

Gu Chong probably realized a bit of the truth: why Xue Fu was raised so pampered.

After being looked at, praised, and coaxed by her, anyone would probably want to pamper her more and treat her better.

He kept praising how delicious the food was, but his appetite was like a cat's; he couldn't finish a bowl of rice and left half of it in the bowl.

Gu Chong saw her beautiful fox-like eyes darting around before she looked over.

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I can't eat anymore."

Gu Chongmo sighed and asked, "Are you full?"

Xue Fu nodded.

Gu Chong thought, "He was indeed born with a life of wealth and honor."

Others complain that the refined rice and flour aren't enough to fill them up, but she can't finish it all.

Jiaojiao.

Gu Chong glanced at Gu Fei, who had finished eating but was still waiting for them at the table, and gestured for him to go take a shower first.

"The water's boiled, go wash up first."

Gu Fei glanced at her brother, then at Xue Fu, and nodded: "Okay."

After the child ran to the kitchen and left, Gu Chongcai reached out and shoved the remaining untouched rice into his own bowl.

Although Xue Fu didn't touch the food, she still lowered her eyelashes and trembled as she watched him eat, feeling somewhat shy.

She told herself that thrift and frugality are virtues.

After Gu Chong finished eating, he cleared the table, and Xue Fu offered to help.

However, after being glared at by Gu Chong, Xue Fu wisely stopped.

She could tell that Gu Chong was afraid now.

I dared not let her do anything.

Xue Fu obediently acted like a wooden doll.

After he finished washing the dishes, Gu Chong called her over.

"Which of these things are you taking back?" he asked, pointing to the bucket filled with items.

Xue Fu rummaged around and took out what she wanted to leave for Gu Chong.

First of all, there's the food rations she shares with her roommates.

"This shouldn't be enough for a month. I'll buy more next time I go to town and give you the rest."

She only bought seven or eight kilograms.

The next second, Gu Chong refused.

"That little bit is enough for you."

"But we'll still give you the tickets and the money, as we agreed before."

Xue Fu took out the cloth bag containing the money and began to count the money.

Food coupons and money are required.

Oh, and she also has hostages!

She counted out a stack and handed it to Gu Chong.

He didn't want it; he just watched her quietly.

Xue Fu hummed in a nasal tone, "Hmm?" She didn't understand why he wasn't answering.

She waved her hand, but he still wouldn't take it.

Finally, Xue Fu simply reached into the left breast pocket of his clothes. However, inevitably, she touched the muscles of his chest.

Gu Chong did indeed have pectoral muscles.

Gu Chong blurted out urgently, "Xue Fu!"

Xue Fu blinked innocently: "Hmm?"

Gu Chong closed his eyes and opened them again, his tone returning to normal: "It's nothing."

Xue Fu felt much more relaxed after giving him the money and coupons. With the meal tickets provided, she wouldn't have to worry about food for the month.

Xue Fu shared some more candy with Gu Fei.

However, Gu Chongquan stuffed all of these things back into her hands, refusing to take a single one.

He lowered his eyes and said, "No need, you eat."

Seeing that she was about to give him more things, Gu Chong helped her pack everything up and then urged her, "It's all packed up, I'll take you home."

Gu Chong acted as if he was afraid of taking advantage of her, and Xue Fu secretly smiled to herself as she followed him toward the educated youth settlement.

Gu Chong carried the bucket, and on the way back, Xue Fu struck up a conversation with him.

She was a little curious and asked him, "How old is your little brother? He's quite cute."

Since the Gu family only had the two brothers, Xue Fu didn't ask any further questions about anything else that might be inappropriate.

Gu Chong: "Ten years old."

Xue Fu continued, "And what about you?"

She didn't know how old Gu Chong was.

Gu Chong doesn't look very old; he's just a bit aloof, so he always gives people the impression of being mature and steady.

Gu Chong raised an eyebrow, turned his face slightly to look at her, and asked, taking the initiative, "How old are you?"

"Me?" Xue Fu subconsciously recalled her modern age, "Eighteen years old."

After saying that, Xue Fu's expression changed slightly, and she realized something was wrong.

She recalled quickly.

Fortunately, the original owner of this body was also this age.

I signed up to go to the countryside right after graduating from high school.

It won't give itself away.

Xue Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chong was puzzled. He noticed Xue Fu's sudden slip of the tongue, but she quickly returned to normal.

Gu Chong didn't press further, took a slight breath, and answered her previous question.

"Twenty-two."

After he finished speaking, he carefully observed her expression under the shade of the tree.

Unfortunately, Xue Fu, who had traveled through time, had no concept of age in this era.

She only felt that Gu Chongcai was twenty-two years old, in the prime of his youth.

In modern terms, he would be the age of a male college student.

Xue Fu lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the road on the ground, and said softly, "Oh," then added, "It's fine."

They were young and strong.

Gu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even know what he had been so anxious about.

It only took three or four minutes to walk from Gu Chong's house to the educated youth settlement, even faster than Xue Fu had imagined.

Gu Chong stopped a few meters away from the gate of the educated youth settlement. If he spoke from there, the people inside wouldn't be able to hear him clearly.

Gu Chong said, "I've already brought you breakfast tomorrow, so you don't need to come to my house."

Xue Fu was pleasantly surprised: "!"

She stared at him, her eyes wide with delight: "Such a good thing?"

Gu Chong sometimes really felt that she was too carefree.

Helpless, he added, "Tomorrow, I will talk to the team leader about you coming to my house to eat."

Openly and honestly discussing such matters can help curb gossip.

Gu Chong didn't know if she was fully aware that "cohabitation" meant more than just eating together in other people's eyes.

Gu Chong was fully aware of the situation, yet he still agreed and joined in her fooling around.

Gu Chong couldn't understand himself either.

Xue Fu suddenly remembered this and nodded happily, "I'll go with you to find the captain tomorrow too."

Gu Chong hummed in agreement, then carried the bucket to the entrance of the educated youth settlement for her, so that she wouldn't have to walk a few more steps and be unable to carry it.

"You can go in now. I'm leaving."

Xue Fu waved to him: "See you tomorrow!"

Gu Chong: "Hmm."

Seeing her carry the bucket into the door, Gu Chongcai turned and left.

When Gu Chong returned home, Gu Fei had already finished showering and was fetching water to boil again.

Gu Chong went over and took it: "I'll do it."

Gu Chong told Gu Fei to go to sleep when he was tired.

But the child was clearly not sleepy; his dark eyes shone like light bulbs as he stared intently at him, filled with curiosity.

Gu Chong immediately understood what Gu Fei wanted to ask.

Sure enough, the child blushed and was a little shy, but the question he asked was bold and straightforward.

"Brother, is that Sister Afu my future sister-in-law?"

Gu Chong was prepared to be asked, but he was still almost taken aback by the directness of the question.

He frowned slightly, lowered his head and said seriously to Gu Fei, "Don't say that in front of her."

Gu Fei immediately understood another meaning: her brother hadn't denied it!

Gu Fei couldn't contain his excitement, and Gu Chong finally realized that he had missed something in his speech.

He patted Gu Fei on the head and added, "That's not true. Kid, don't overthink things."
