The meal was very satisfying, and Lan Yao even wanted to pack a few portions to take home. Gu Zixiao asked, "Do you want to eat them yourself, or do you want to bring some for Grandma Yu?"

Is there any difference?

“Yes. If you’re buying it for Grandma Yu, I’ll go buy it for you now. If you’re buying it for yourself, I’ll cook it for you when I get home tonight,” Gu Zixiao said seriously.

Lan Yao rolled her eyes, somewhat impatiently: "I've never even eaten your cooking, how am I supposed to know if it's good or not? What if it's not good? Wouldn't that be a waste of my appetite?"

Gu Zixiao sighed, "How could you do this? You trust me so little! I'm so disappointed."

Gu Zixiao looked up at Lan Yao, "How are you going to make it up to me?"

Lan Yao: ...

She discovered that this man would make demands of her whenever he had the chance.

Lan Yao ignored him and walked past him to pack some food to take back.

However, Gu Zixiao had already gone to buy food before her.

The waitress still didn't give Gu Zixiao a friendly look, but faced with Gu Zixiao's imposing manner, she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only ask in a timid and indifferent manner, "What is it?"

Gu Zixiao: "Give me five portions of braised pork ribs, braised lion's head meatballs, and braised pork buns."

waiter:……

"...That's all. It's sold out."

Gu Zixiao raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Waiter: "...Of course. Would I lie to you?"

Gu Zixiao turned to Lan Yao and spread his hands, looking regretful: "Lan Yao, the things you wanted are sold out. It looks like you'll have to eat my cooking tonight."

Lan Yao: "...Why do I have to eat your cooking? Can't I just come back to the state-run restaurant to buy food?"

As Lan Yao spoke, she walked out of the state-run restaurant. The afternoon sun was particularly warm, and it felt very comfortable and cozy on her skin.

Gu Zixiao followed behind her, watching Lan Yao standing in the sunlight. For some reason, Gu Zixiao felt that this scene was particularly beautiful.

"Don't you feel it's too sunny?" Gu Zixiao stepped forward and raised her hand to shield Lan Yao's head.

Lan Yao naturally felt a small shadow blocking her view: "No, it's not. Speaking of which, today is a rare sunny day. The sun is shining on me, and I feel warm and comfortable."

"Oh, okay. Then when we have a chance, I'll sunbathe with you. But for now, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. I'm afraid if we go too late, everything will be gone."

"It's gone, it's gone. We can always go to the black market." Lan Yao finished speaking and looked at Gu Zixiao with a provocative expression, as if waiting for him to teach her a lesson or say something to her.

Gu Zixiao: ...

He smirked, "I've noticed that you can be a bit slow sometimes. Why would I lecture you for something like this? Come on, I go there myself all the time."

Lan Yao looked at him coldly: "Are you looking for a beating?"

Gu Zixiao sighed, "You're really something, resorting to violence when you can't win an argument."

Lan Yao: "You can use violence, but the question is, can you beat me?"

"I will not use violence. Especially not against people who are special and important to me. Only scum would lay a hand on their own family."

Lan Yao: ...

Why do I feel like I'm being subtly criticized?

Jade Pixiu: "...Master, what's wrong with you? How could you put him in the position of family? Master, wake up. You said that men only affect your speed of drawing your sword and enjoying pleasure."

Lan Yao replied expressionlessly, "Thanks for reminding me, I haven't forgotten."

Jade Pixiu: "...I think you'll forget, Master. But I can't blame you; Gu Zixiao is just too cunning."

Yu Suanpan agreed: "That's right. He changed his strategy and now uses his gentle appearance to deceive you, Master."

The two ornaments, working in perfect harmony, made Lan Yao fall into deep thought.

It seems she was deceived by Gu Zixiao.

Gu Zixiao is so cunning.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out? Did I say something too harsh? I apologize. I'm sorry."

Lan Yao glanced at him indifferently: "No need. Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

Gu Zixiao was very perceptive and instantly sensed Lan Yao's distance and wariness towards him, as well as a hint of inexplicable anger.

How could Gu Zixiao let her leave like this?

He grabbed Lan Yao in an instant, and Lan Yao retaliated with a slap.

Gu Zixiao was prepared for Lan Yao's reaction, so he caught her attack immediately.

Gu Zixiao: "If you want to take me out, can we find somewhere else? It's not good for you to be out in broad daylight."

Lan Yao smiled enigmatically: "You think I would care?"

"Yes, you don't care. But can't I care for you? And I sincerely apologize to you, I'm sorry. I will never say those two words again. But I assure you I really didn't mean anything by it! I'm not like before, I think you can feel that."

"What does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with me?" Lan Yao pulled hard, and her hand was pulled directly out of Gu Zixiao's palm.

Lan Yao felt she couldn't waste any more time here; she realized she couldn't reason with Gu Zixiao.

Without a second thought, she turned and left. Gu Zixiao followed her for two steps: "Can you not go?"

Lan Yao remained silent. Gu Zixiao took a deep breath, glanced up at the dazzling sunlight, and finally locked the car door before following her.

Jade Pixiu: "Master, Master, he doesn't want the car, he's been silently following behind you."
