Chapter 107 How Red Is Your Face at This Moment
Before Lu Youyou withdrew her hand, Gu Qingye had already eaten the fish.
"I've asked around. The canteen buys fresh fish and shrimp from fishermen every day. You don't need a ticket. You just give the money to the canteen to keep whatever you want."
"Really? I'll go check it out some other day."
Lu Youyou felt numbness from the tip of the chopsticks all the way to her shoulder, and her entire arm felt something was wrong.
She quickly put down her chopsticks, lowered her head, picked up a steamed bun and broke it in half, then subconsciously passed the other half to the other side.
Lu Youyou stood there with a steamed bun in his mouth, wishing he could slap his unconscious right hand. What was he doing? His reputation was ruined in an instant!
She didn't dare to raise her eyes, she only heard a soft laugh, low and restrained, which did not make people feel unhappy, but instead made people feel inexplicably at ease.
Gu Qingye said nothing and took the half steamed bun. Then a peeled shrimp appeared in Lu Youyou's bowl.
"The chef in the cafeteria said this kind of shrimp is better than other places. Try it and see if you like it."
Lu Youyou took a bite. It was delicious, but the man started to break the rules again, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.
Gu Qingye never let her embarrassment last too long, even if it was her own fault.
There is nothing imperfect about this person. This is totally challenging her willpower!
Lu Youyou was concentrating on eating her steamed bun when a shrimp appeared in her bowl. Just as she swallowed it, another one came in. She caught the rhythm just right.
Now she had to speak up: "You eat too!"
After peeling the one in his hand, Gu Qingye finally raised his head.
He didn't know when it started, but Lu Youyou would occasionally act like a spoiled child towards him unconsciously. Only he knew that his willpower was dancing on the edge of a cliff every day.
But no matter how proud or arrogant he was, he would enjoy it even if Lu Youyou played tricks on him.
After dinner, Lu Youyou took Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui for a walk, while Gu Qingye continued to clean the house.
He will be very busy after tomorrow, so he can only try to tidy things up as much as possible now so that Lu Youyou won't feel uncomfortable.
Although she always said that the scenery here was beautiful, the resources on the island were limited and it was definitely not as convenient as before. Gu Qingye didn't want Lu Youyou to suffer any grievances, so he could only decorate the room as much as possible to suit her taste.
Lu Youyou rushed out of the yard as if escaping. Just after walking a few dozen meters, everyone knew that Captain Niu Si Zhange of the team and his family had arrived. Even though it was dark at night and no one could see clearly, Lu Youyou's appearance still caused everyone to exclaim.
This is too young and too beautiful!
Wang Manzhi was already pretty enough, and now someone even prettier had come, and their corner had become a den of beauties.
Xiao Huihui had gone out to look for food a long time ago, and now only Zhuifeng was following Lu Youyou. The majestic one-eyed Kunming dog attracted a large number of little fans without any action.
The children gathered around Zhuifeng, and the adults pulled Lu Youyou aside to ask about Zhuifeng's origins.
In an era lacking in entertainment activities, Zhuifeng's heroic deeds caused quite a stir in the family compound.
More and more people gathered around, and Lu Youyou took the opportunity to ask about the living facilities near the family compound, as well as the sea-hunting that she was most interested in.
Everyone talked a lot, and Lu Youyou also made an appointment with several sisters-in-law to go fishing together the day after tomorrow, which was the 16th day of the lunar calendar.
"Comrade Xiaolu, bring a bucket and a flashlight. I'll prepare the other tools for you. Once you go there, you'll know what's going on."
"Got it, thank you sister-in-law."
"What's there to thank for? Actually, we can only catch small fish and shrimps when we go fishing. It's just that you new comrades think it's fun."
"It's good to have an additional dish. It's not so convenient to eat seafood in the inland." Lu Youyou said with a smile.
Several sisters-in-law thought that Lu Youyou must be more difficult to deal with than Wang Manzhi because of her appearance, but now they know that she is so easy-going.
Once she started talking, she couldn't stop. Several people kept talking to Lu Youyou for more than half an hour. After listening to them all, she even found out which family had beaten their child last night.
Lu Youyou went home with a lot of gossip in her mind. The first thing she did upon entering the door was to gulp down a glass of water. She obviously listened more than she spoke, and she didn't know why she was so thirsty.
"I'm back. The water is ready. I cleaned up the utility room and used it as a bathroom. You can try it out. If it's too small, I'll widen it in a couple of days."
“Cough cough cough—cough cough—”
Lu Youyou suddenly choked and started coughing heart-wrenchingly. Soon, a hand appeared on her back and gently helped her breathe.
"You, cough, you're moving too fast, cough, cough—"
Lu Youyou coughed so hard that tears came out and her eyes were red. She just looked at Gu Qingye, which made his heart beat faster.
Gu Qingye handed her a handkerchief and said, "There is a rack in the yard. I also washed it and put it in the utility room. You can put clothes and towels there."
Lu Youyou moved her lips, not knowing what to say, and finally murmured a thank you.
"No need to say thank you between us."
She looked up suddenly, and her clear eyes met the ink-black eyes. The tiny rays of light were reflected, and Gu Qingye's eyes were particularly focused.
"Hmm..." Lu Youyou clenched her handkerchief tightly, and said softly, "I'm going to take a shower."
She took her clean clothes and went to the utility room only to find out that there was no electricity in the room. There was an oil lamp on the wooden shelf. The room was not as dark and dusty as she had imagined. Perhaps Gu Qingye had cleaned it in advance. Apart from the smaller area, she did not feel any discomfort.
There is even a newly dug sewer channel on the ground, which is very shallow and short, but can ensure that there is no water accumulation indoors.
She couldn't imagine how Gu Qingye managed to do so many things in such a short time.
Lu Youyou took the most complicated bath in her history. From the time she entered the bath to the time she came out, her mind could not form any clear thoughts.
She walked into the bedroom, wiping her hair, and suddenly she was in a trance for a moment.
The curtains were still the same ones she had used before, the desk was still placed in front of the window as before, the wardrobe and bed were placed in the positions she was most familiar with. Except that the room was bigger than before, everything else was almost exactly the same.
Lu Youyou subconsciously looked for the figure in her mind. After turning around, she saw Gu Qingye squatting in the kitchen, probably cleaning the dust accumulated in the stove.
The sea breeze brought a faint salty smell. This should have been a completely unfamiliar place, but now she didn't feel any strange uneasiness.
Lu Youyou sat on the bed in a daze, following Gu Qingye from the kitchen to the yard, and then to the utility room, until she heard the sound of dripping water and realized what was happening in the utility room.
Even though she couldn't see anything, her face was still smoking.
She had just felt the strength of that body of muscles through her clothes this morning, and she could fully imagine what it looked like underneath.
And now, Gu Qingye, with nothing on him, was in a small cubicle ten meters away. Perhaps the only decoration on his body was a crystal clear water droplet...
Lu Youyou quickly got under the quilt, blocking out all the light, as if this would not reveal how red her face was at the moment.
