Chapter 57 57 Did someone say something in front of you?

This was the first time Ji Qingzhi saw Gu Jingsi's handwriting. Although she didn't know why she was so sure that the handwriting was his, she only had one thought in her mind at this moment: did he go to the flower shop?

She had broken up yesterday's flowers and put them in a vase. She used well water in the vase, so they were still blooming today. She glanced down at the bouquet in her hand and wondered if she should buy some more vases. Flowers are always a delight, especially when received early in the morning.

Today is the day when Ji Qingzhi is cooking again. A note was made on Da Yanzai’s account last night, so many of her acquaintances have made reservations today, such as Qiu Tian and Qian Wan.

When she saw the two of them, she couldn't help but tease Qiu Tian, ​​"Why don't you just ask Qian Wan to cook whatever you want at home? Isn't it good to just be alone together?"

"No, that won't work. I still prefer what you cook." Qiu Tian's words were not false. She had come to eat when Ji Yuanfu was the chef before, but she still thought that Ji Qingzhi's dishes were the best.

"Then enjoy it, and bring some vegetables back from the backyard later." Ji Qingzhi said with a smile in his tone.

"Wow, thank you Sister Ji, I have a new topic for this video." Qian Wan looked happier than Qiu Tian.

"You're welcome." She was very grateful for Qian Wan's care during the filming.

The next table of guests would arrive at a certain time, and Ji Qingzhi quickly went to the kitchen to continue her busy work. Every time she unlocked a recipe, she heard the news that points were credited to her account. Perhaps now that she no longer had the sense of urgency to earn points, she felt that the sound of points being credited to her account was no longer as crisp as before.

Gu Jingsi felt a headache when listening to Bai Hongkai talking about his work schedule for the next two days. Finally, he said, "Try to compress those things as much as possible and leave time for me after five o'clock tomorrow night."

Including today, he hasn't appeared in front of Ji Qingzhi for two days. He is not a qualified suitor.

"Okay, Director Gu." Knowing that he always kept his word, Bai Hongkai could only agree with a bitter face.

Gu Jingsi saw the receipt message from the flower shop after he finished his work. He clicked it and then exited. Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind: would Ji Qingzhi feel that she was wasting money if she had a bouquet of flowers every day? He opened the dialog box with the flower shop and asked: [Can you make vegetable bouquets here? 】

He thought that if he gave Ji Qingzhi a bouquet of vegetables, she could use them as food ingredients, so she should like it, right? He glanced down at the message from the florist, asking about the standards for his vegetables.

Gu Jingsi thought about it and decided that if there was a standard, there was only one: only fresh vegetables.

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when she finished her work, so when she heard Li Yuanyuan say that Xu Yu'an was waiting for her, surprise flashed across her eyes. Thinking of the chance encounter that night, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Could he be here to resign from the operations job?

Xu Yu'an hasn't opened the Ji Family Restaurant for some time. In addition to video editing, he has a lot more things to do at school. In addition, after easing his relationship with his family, he also has some more things to do. Today, he finally has some free time, so he came here directly.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming so that I could prepare two dishes for you." Ji Qingzhi sat down opposite him while speaking.

"It was also a last-minute decision for me." Xu Yu'an said as he scratched his hair. He decided to come here only after he finished his work and saw that there was still early.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Ji Qingzhi was a little curious.

Xu Yu'an glanced at her, and after a long while he spoke, "Sister Ji, are you really in love with my brother?"

"To correct, it's not love, it's trying to get in touch." Ji Qingzhi explained.

"So what do you think of him?" After returning home that night, although he felt that Gu Jingsi was not worthy of her, he changed his mind and thought, if they were together, wouldn't Sister Ji be his sister-in-law? Thinking of this, he felt a lot happier?

"Aren't they in contact now? You came to me just for this?" Ji Qingzhi was relieved to know that he was not going to quit the operations.

"Not entirely, actually. My brother is a good guy except that he doesn't talk very well. Besides, he has never been in a relationship before. Sister Ji, you really can give it a try with him." Xu Yu'an's attitude seemed sincere, as if he was an old man in the corner of a blind date park who strongly recommended his family.

Ji Qingzhi was amused by him and deliberately said with a look of horror: "He is so old and still hasn't fallen in love. Is there something wrong with him?"

"Of course not. My brother has another advantage, and that is he keeps himself clean. Before, there was a girl who took advantage of the fact that her mother and my aunt were best friends and used my aunt to get in touch with my brother. When my brother found out, he blocked her directly. He has his own principles when it comes to matters between men and women." This is what Xu Yu'an admires most about Gu Jingsi. If it were someone else, they might tolerate it a few times for the sake of their mother.

"So your aunt has a daughter-in-law in mind?" Ji Qingzhi quickly grasped the point. If that was the case, she would end their contact early. She didn't like trouble, whether it was people or things.

"Of course not, that's just Jiang Wen's wishful thinking." Xu Yu'an quickly shook his head.

"Yeah." Ji Qingzhi nodded and didn't continue with the matter. She thought that she would figure this matter out. She wanted to return to her ordinary life, so she avoided all possible troubles.

"My brother actually has quite a few good qualities," Xu Yu'an spent the rest of the time talking about Gu Jingsi's strengths.

Ji Qingzhi didn't interrupt him, and even added tea to his cup at the right time. When he finished, he smiled and asked, "So you came here today just to tell me about Gu Jingsi's strengths? Did he ask you to come?"

"Of course not, I just think it would be great if you were my sister-in-law." If it were someone else, Xu Yu'an would not be the assist.

"Okay, I understand. I will think about it carefully." A smile flashed in Ji Qingzhi's eyes.

After seeing Xu Yu'an off, she received a message from Gu Jingsi on her mobile phone, asking her to have dinner together the next night. Ji Qingzhi did not refuse, as some things are better said face to face.

Seeing her reply, Gu Jingsi raised the corners of his lips. As expected, love makes people feel that they have endless energy. Thinking of this, the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious. He used to sneer at this sentence, but fortunately it is not too late to understand the value of this sentence now.

Old Ji came back at almost night, and along with him came not only fishing gear but also a pitiful amount of spoils, a crucian carp. Ji Qingzhi's eyes flashed with a smile. Well, we can't dampen the enthusiasm of Comrade Old Ji, so he asked, "Should we put this in the fish pond?"

"No, I'll make soup for you later." Ji Yuanfu shook his head.

Ji Qingzhi stared at the crucian carp in the bucket, which was smaller than the palm of his hand, and hesitated, "Should I wait until it grows a little bigger, or go to the fish pond to catch some of its kind?"

"Then let's wait for it to grow up!" Ji Yuanfu made a choice quickly.

"It's great if you can catch some fish. There are still many people who come back empty-handed. Don't look so unhappy!" Ji Qingzhi comforted.

"I'm not unhappy." Ji Yuanfu retorted.

"Okay, go take a shower and change your clothes. I'll cook noodles for you." Ji Qingzhi urged.

"Okay, I'll go right away. By the way, why didn't you go out today?" Ji Yuanfu couldn't help but frowned after he said that. What does this kid Gu Jingsi mean? He fishes for three days and slacks off for two days.

"I'm busy today, you can cook tomorrow and I'll go out." Ji Qingzhi said.

"That's fine, just cook less noodles and more soup." After saying this, Ji Yuanfu returned to his room.

"I know!" Ji Qingzhi's voice came from the kitchen.

That night, both father and daughter slept soundly, so much so that the next day when they looked at the bouquet of flowers sent by the flower shop, they both rubbed their eyes. Finally, Ji Yuanfu spoke first. He looked at Ji Qingzhi and asked, "What is this?"

"Vegetable flowers, right?" Ji Qingzhi saw the familiar card while speaking, and the corners of her lips unconsciously rose. She thought, Gu Jingsi is quite capable. She was indeed worried about the problem of increasing number of flowers yesterday, but she didn't expect that he had already thought of a solution.

Glancing at the tomatoes and bell peppers in her arms, she looked up at Ji Yuanfu and said with a smile, "This will just solve a few dishes."

Ji Yuanfu stared at the flowers in her arms, and after a long while he finally laughed out loud: "You young people are still full of clever ideas."

While he was talking, Ji Qingzhi had already taken out her phone to take a photo. After taking the photo, she skillfully tore open the wrapping paper, took out the ingredients inside and stuffed them into Ji Yuanfu's arms: "Here, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Okay, this dish is quite fresh." Ji Yuanfu commented.

Every day was equally busy, but Ji Qingzhi did not feel bored. Instead, she had a feeling of peace and tranquility. At 4:50, Gu Jingsi's car appeared at the back door of the Ji family's courtyard on time.

"What are we eating today?" Ji Qingzhi asked casually after getting in the car.

"Old duck soup, this one is very famous." The weather is hot, and drinking some old duck soup is just right for cooling down.

"Sounds good." Ji Qingzhi quite likes drinking old duck soup. Thinking of this, she tilted her head to glance at the man next to her. Could it be a coincidence?

After arriving at the place, someone quickly took them to the table reserved by Gu Jingsi. Ji Qingzhi didn't want to affect her mood for dinner, so she decided to ask those questions after the meal.

Fifteen minutes later, the old duck soup, along with the pot, was served on the table. The aroma could be smelled from afar, and Ji Qingzhi felt a little greedy.

"How is it?" Seeing her take a sip, Gu Jingsi couldn't help but ask.

"It tastes delicious and very authentic." Ji Qingzhi gave his evaluation.

"Then drink more." This was a store that he had spent a lot of time to find out about.

After the meal, Ji Qingzhi did not leave in a hurry, but looked at the person opposite: "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Gu Jingsi was somewhat happy. It was a good thing that she was willing to take the initiative to understand him.

"I overlooked this before. Families like yours usually have fiancées or someone the family has chosen. Is that the case for you too?" Ji Qingzhi asked out his doubts.

"I didn't, believe me. Did someone say something in front of you?" Gu Jingsi thought, if he knew who was gossiping in front of her, he would give him two slaps in the face.
