[Gourmet food + light-hearted comedy + alluring female lead + power-up progression, mindless爽文 (satisfying read) not recommended for overthinking]. Gourmet NPC Ruan Tian transmigrated into a post-a...
Just like in a TV drama, Ruan Tian pounced directly between Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi, slightly calming down their arrogant and domineering atmosphere.
Ye Mofeng turned to look at Ruan Tian, his handsome face full of seriousness, and warned her:
"You shouldn't have come here, it's too dangerous. Stay in a safe place. Once Gu Yi and I have settled our score, you'll be safe."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian remained standing there, as if determined to stay rooted to the spot, secretly encouraging herself and deciding to act as a peacemaker.
"Isn't it better if we just get along peacefully? Why fight and kill each other?"
The feud between Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi has been established, especially since Ye Mofeng now finds Gu Yi particularly displeasing.
Gu Yi clearly saw through Ye Mofeng's deepest, suppressed desire for Ruan Tian.
"Go and stay quietly over there."
Seeing that Ruan Tian was unwilling to leave for a long time, Ye Mofeng reached out and gently pushed her away.
"Ouch! Ye Mofeng, why did you push me?! You two really shouldn't fight anymore!"
"You two have damaged several buildings around here. The Red Moon Tide is coming soon, and instead of uniting against a common enemy, you're fighting amongst yourselves. What kind of behavior is this?"
Ruan Tian makes a good point; it's definitely not the right time to start a fight, as it would bring no benefit whatsoever.
Ye Mofeng paused briefly, then Gu Yi played with the playing cards in his hand, looking at Ye Mofeng with a half-smile.
It gave the impression that if Ye Mofeng were to charge over, he wouldn't mind fighting Ye Mofeng again.
Even though Ye Mofeng has temporarily stopped, he still feels uncomfortable and is choking back a breath he can't exhale.
So... in front of so many people, he directly asked a particularly fatal, yet also classic, question.
"If Gu Yi and I both fell into the water, who would you save first?"
The moment the question was posed, the onlookers who were listening nearby were all shocked.
How on earth did Ye Mofeng come out of his mouth to ask such a cold, life-or-death question?
They never expected that Ye Mofeng would ask such a question during such a critical time.
Ye Mofeng isn't a particularly stubborn person, but he becomes very persistent when it comes to people or things he cares about, just like he is now.
He stared intently at Ruan Tian, his gaze almost tangible with determination, waiting for her to answer his question.
"Forehead……"
Ruan Tian scratched her head awkwardly, unsure of what to say. She coughed slightly, trying to bluff her way out of the situation.
“Mo Feng,” she said with a sigh, as if they were old acquaintances, and smiled, “you see, the relationship between the two of us has already…”
Unfortunately, before Ruan Tian could finish speaking, Ye Mofeng also spoke up.
"Don't try to get away with this. I'm asking you now, if I and Gu Yi both fell into the water, who would you save first?"
Even if it wasn't Ruan Tian, the other onlookers could sense Ye Mofeng's seriousness at that moment.
Ruan Tian knew that she couldn't get away with it now, and she wailed inwardly.
In a daze, Ruan Tian noticed a burning gaze, and when she turned her head slightly, she met Gu Yi's eyes.
It seems that Ye Mofeng is not the only one expecting this answer.
Gu Yi was clearly also looking forward to Ruan Tian's answer.
He was indeed very much looking forward to it, and the fact that he couldn't understand Ruan Tian's true feelings gave Gu Yi a great sense of excitement.
How will Ruan Tian answer?
A bold idea gradually formed in Gu Yi's mind: he guessed that Ruan Tian would choose him.
It wasn't that Gu Yi was too confident in himself; it was simply because Ruan Tian didn't choose him in this situation, wasn't it because she had a good relationship with Ye Mofeng?
Gu Yi has witnessed far too much of the ugliness of the dark side of human nature.
In his mind, Ruan Tian would definitely choose the safest option, one that would least offend either of them.
She said she would choose Gu Yi, but Gu Yi couldn't understand Ruan Tian's true feelings anyway.
After the farce ended, Ruan Tian went to Ye Mofeng and explained her predicament, saying that she did not choose Gu Yi on purpose, but was forced to choose Gu Yi under the circumstances at the time.
At that time, given Ye Mofeng's affection for Ruan Tian, he will surely forgive her.
Ruan Tian is perfectly able to do both without any problems.
Gu Yi's lips curled up, as if he had already seen through Ruan Tian's thoughts, and he gradually became more confident.
However, the actual result clearly disappointed Gu Yi, and even surprised him a little.
Because Ruan Tian simply...
Therefore, Gu Yi was not chosen.
After her initial embarrassment, she scratched her head and gave her answer:
"I choose Ye Mofeng."
The moment this answer was uttered, everyone around was stunned, including Ye Mofeng.
He never expected that Ruan Tian would choose him!
In Ye Mofeng's opinion, Ruan Tian needs Gu Yi right now, so why not take this opportunity to win Gu Yi's favor?
However, Ruan Tian did not do that, but instead chose Ye Mofeng directly.
"What kind of look is that?!"
Ruan Tian noticed Ye Mofeng's surprised look, chuckled helplessly, and gently patted his shoulder to comfort him:
"After all, we've known each other the longest! Am I right?"
Because we've known each other for a long time, I understand you very well. Choosing you was the right thing to do, and you've helped me a lot too.
Regarding Gu Yi's previous plan, Ruan Tian had actually thought it through in her mind when making the decision in front of so many people.
In the end, however, Ruan Tian chose Ye Mofeng. She preferred to follow her own heart rather than go with the flow of the current situation.
In addition, Ruan Tian was well aware that Ye Mofeng's inner strength was not as strong as he appeared.
If she doesn't choose Ye Mofeng today, the consequences are predictable; Ye Mofeng will definitely be heartbroken.
He treated Ruan Tian so well, so in return, Ruan Tian didn't want Ye Mofeng to be sad; it was a two-way street.
"I've already chosen you, can't you look a little happier?"
Ye Mofeng finally realized what was happening, and he smiled, a clear smile appearing on his usually emotionless face.
"Happy, very happy."
He clung to Ruan Tian like a clingy puppy, unconsciously squeezing her hand and gently shaking it twice.
This was a way of being affectionate; he liked Ruan Tian so much that the smile on his face never left when he was with her.
This sight caught Gu's eye, and he initially understood Ruan Tian's behavior.
But for some reason, seeing Ye Mofeng laughing so happily made him inexplicably unhappy.
