Gu Chong suddenly became much more talkative.
Gu Fei said with a troubled expression, "My sister looks a bit thinner."
Gu Chong immediately frowned: "You've lost weight?"
He hasn't gone over there on his own initiative these past few days; he's been dealing with those trivial matters.
He planned to go see her after he had dealt with these matters, so she wouldn't worry.
Gu Fei nodded, and said dejectedly, "I asked my sister to come over for dinner, but she didn't agree."
Gu Chong pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and gave a soft "hmm." He then walked to the cupboard and washed the rice bowl he used to bring Xue Fu breakfast again.
After putting down his schoolbag inside, Gu Fei leaned over to his brother and whispered, "If I run into my sister tomorrow, I'll invite her again."
Gu Fei thought that since his sister was so kind, he would definitely soften his heart if he asked her a couple more times.
Gu Fei wants her to be his sister-in-law, so besides his brother having to work hard, he also needs to work hard! He can't hold his brother back!
Gu Fei was, of course, aware of all the gossip.
When he was in school, his classmates would come over and ask him if he was going to have another educated youth sister-in-law, saying they really envied him for having a beautiful sister-in-law from the city.
If it were a classmate saying this in the past, Gu Fei would have felt happy and honored.
But it was precisely these words that bothered Xue Fu, making her feel embarrassed to eat at his house. Gu Fei couldn't be happy at all when he heard this.
Gu Fei, with a dark face as indifferent as his brother's, told the students to shut up.
Gu Fei also knew that his brother had been suffering these past few days.
The two brothers are very silent at the dinner table every day.
Gu Fei noticed that her brother's gaze kept drifting towards the doorway, and there was a third bowl and a third pair of chopsticks on their dining table.
You could tell at a glance who he was waiting for.
At first, Gu Fei tried to say a few words to liven up the atmosphere, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that he wasn't very interested. In the end, he just moved his lips twice, had nothing to say, and gave up.
After Xue Fu finished washing her hair, she was drying it in the room while applying face cream to her arms as body lotion when Zheng Peipei walked in from outside with a subtle expression and went straight to her bedside, saying, "Xue Fu, someone is looking for you outside."
Xue Fu asked in confusion, "Huh? Who is it?"
Zheng Peipei gave her a strange look, and the next second, Xue Fu suddenly realized who she was talking about and who the person was.
Xue Fu muttered to herself, "Why is he here?"
What did Gu Chong want from her?
But Xue Fu immediately put down the face cream in her hand and got out of bed. Before leaving, she glanced down at the pajamas she had changed into after her shower, pursed her lips, and finally rummaged through her suitcase to find a dress to change into.
Xue Fu has long, thick hair. She naturally has a lot of hair, so it dries slowly. At this moment, the ends of her hair are still a little damp.
But she couldn't care less about that now. Xue Fu primped herself and styled her hair in a bun. She checked herself in the red plastic mirror in the dorm room several times, making sure she looked pretty and there were no problems, before finally stepping out the door.
As she approached the main gate, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Gu Chong rarely contacts her this late at night for anything.
Moreover, this is a period recently when they have been avoiding each other.
Gu Chong stood on the open ground a few meters away from the gate of the educated youth settlement, his back straight and his head slightly bowed.
Because of the darkness, Xue Fu couldn't see his expression clearly even from several meters away; she could only see that he was holding a rice bowl that she recognized very well.
A look of surprise flashed across Xue Fu's eyes.
She thought for a moment, then walked over and asked softly, "Gu Chong, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Her gaze involuntarily fell on the rice bowl in his hand, and a thought popped into her head. She blurted out, "You brought me food?"
She said, "But I've already eaten."
Gu Chong lowered his head slightly and hummed in agreement.
He hadn't seen her for a few days, so he couldn't control his gaze.
Even under the cover of night, his tangible gaze made Xue Fu instinctively look away.
Feeling awkward being stared at like that, Xue Fu turned her face away and asked, "So... what do you want from me?"
"Xiao Fei said she ran into you this afternoon." Gu Chong found an excuse to chat with her a bit more. "Xiao Fei said you've lost weight."
Even in front of Gu Fei, Xue Fu could still calmly raise her hand to touch her face and ask him if it was true.
But in front of Gu Chong, Xue Fu didn't want him to think that his life at the educated youth settlement was miserable, or that he had become haggard and thin in just a few days.
The difference in food quality is indeed significant.
She pouted and said, "It's alright."
"I'll bring you food secretly, without them seeing, okay?" Gu Chong found a good reason for himself. "It's only the beginning of the month, don't you want your food allowance?"
Xue Fu had forgotten about this matter.
She was deeply shaken.
Seeing the wavering in her eyes, Gu Chong simply said, "I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow, and no one will see."
After saying that, he forcefully shoved the jar he was holding into her arms, giving her no time to refuse, and turned to leave, as if someone were chasing after him.
Xue Fu was about to call out to him when he had already run far away, until he disappeared into the shade of the trees.
Xue Fu: ...
Is she scary?
Xue Fu lowered her eyes and felt that the rice jar he had just stuffed into her arms was still warm.
With a twitch of her nose, Xue Fu was able to smell what kind of dish was inside.
It's Gu Chong's specialty, stir-fried pork.
Xue Fu licked her lips, remembering the clear sweet potato porridge and stir-fried bok choy she had at the educated youth settlement that evening.
Gu Chong's food still smells the best.
As she smelled the aroma, she actually started to feel hungry.
So she glanced around furtively, then squatted down by the door without any manners, opened the lid, and started eating!
Waaah... I miss you!
It smells so good!
After Xue Fu finished eating, she quietly went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and brushed her teeth again.
Even so, when she entered the room, Zheng Peipei still smelled the scent.
"Have you eaten again? It smells delicious," Zheng Peipei exclaimed, then realized, "He came to bring you food?"
Zheng Peipei's gaze was intense, and Xue Fu blushed and nodded, "Mm."
Cheng Pei-pei found it hard to believe they weren't dating. She couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of doubt, "Are you two really dating?"
Xue Fu smiled awkwardly.
"not yet."
Zheng Peipei keenly grasped the key word: "still?" Then she smiled knowingly and gave Xue Fu a thumbs up: "Good."
