"Please stop following me, Mr. Fu, I'm begging you, okay?"
Stopping in her tracks and turning back to look at Fu Jue, this tagalong, Gu Qingqing felt both angry and helpless.
"Qingqing, you're sweating, let me wipe it for you." Fu Jue acted as if nothing was wrong, taking out a clean handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.
Oh my god!
Gu Qingqing was on the verge of a breakdown. He always looked so pitiful and innocent that no one dared to bully him.
But he was so good to her that all the anger she had been holding in for so long, which was about to explode, instantly dissipated.
Oh my god! He's practically her nemesis.
Gu Qingqing let Fu Jue wipe her sweat, and finally, having no other choice, she could only walk quickly into the house and head straight for her bedroom.
Fu Jue, that little tagalong, was still following behind him.
"Why are you following me? I need to take a shower and change my clothes." Gu Qingqing quickly closed the door before he entered the bedroom.
"I didn't mean to, Qingqing, I'm sorry." Fu Jue touched his nose. He had been too anxious and forgot that she had gone back to her room to take a shower and change clothes.
He turned and went to his room across the street. He had run so hard to catch up with her and say a few words to her that he was covered in sweat and needed to shower and change.
——
"That Fu Jue, he's really infuriating me," Gu Qingqing said as she took off her sweaty, smelly workout clothes in the bathroom. She had been running with Fu Jue for over half an hour, leaving her exhausted and smelly.
She doesn't usually run this fast in the morning; she jogs at a steady pace and doesn't sweat this much.
The sound of rushing water could be heard continuously.
After washing up, Gu Qingqing put on a light yellow dress and went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.
Seeing Fu Jue sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, still wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, he exuded a more mature, composed, and ascetic aura.
The image of Fu Jue, who was jogging and playing around earlier, is very different.
"Qingqing, you're here. Are you hungry? I'll have your kitchen bring out breakfast." The moment Fu Jue saw her, his eyes would always sparkle, as if they held a whole galaxy.
"Mm." Gu Qingqing nodded, glancing at Fu Jue.
She turned and sat down opposite him, instead of sitting next to him as usual.
Seeing her like this, Fu Jue felt very sad, but he did not stop her or force her.
However, those few extra chairs were quite an eyesore to him.
Assistant Yin, who had just brought the items into the restaurant, was immediately startled by the cold atmosphere.
"Master Fu, your order has been brought."
"Just leave it there." Fu Jue glanced at the things Assistant Yin had placed on the table; it was a gift he had prepared for her.
He didn't rush to give it to her, but instead gave Assistant Yin a look and moved the extra chair away.
Assistant Yin, who understood immediately, made an "OK" gesture.
Gu Qingqing didn't notice their little tricks for the time being; she was focused on the breakfast that the three maids brought up.
Half of the breakfast is Chinese, and the other half is Western. We eat them together.
The dozen or so breakfast options left her dazzled.
They have xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), shuijiao (dumplings), and chao mian (fried noodles).
There was also bread, pasta, and vegetable salad.
Gu Qingqing pursed her lips tightly and couldn't help but swallow.
She was starving after running with Fu Juechen for more than half an hour.
I ate barbecue skewers last night and didn't eat rice, so I got hungry very quickly.
"I'll eat first, Mr. Fu." After saying hello, taking advantage of his affection for her, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating the three-delicacy dumplings.
"Okay, you eat! Don't wait for me." Fu Jue smiled faintly, glancing out of the corner of his eye as Assistant Yin quietly moved the remaining three chairs away.
That was well done; at least she didn't notice.
Gu Qingqing was focused on eating breakfast and had no interest in observing Assistant Yin's behavior.
Fu Jue carried his chair and quietly came to her side. He gently placed it down without disturbing her.
"Qingqing, you like xiaolongbao, I'll get you some."
"Huh?" Seeing an extra small steamed bun in the bowl, Gu Qingqing thought it was a windfall.
Turning her head, she saw that Fu Jue was already sitting next to her.
Upon closer inspection, the remaining three chairs had vanished without a trace.
"What are you doing?" She had already moved away from him, but he still came closer. It was so annoying.
Didn't we agree to give her time to think things through between them?
Only two days later, he was already shamelessly pestering her.
"I'll take care of you. Eat slowly. Look how dirty your mouth is. And eating too fast will make your stomach uncomfortable."
Fu Jue could tell that she was rejecting him, but he insisted that a good woman is afraid of a persistent man.
As long as you're thick-skinned enough, there's no wife you can't marry.
Gu Qingqing: "..." She was speechless when it came to him.
Anyway, she lost this round.
But did she win any of those games?
Seeing that she neither spoke nor objected, Fu decided not to move the chair away and put her back in her original seat.
He even held a small steamed bun to her lips, and under his pressure, she had no choice but to agree.
Obediently ate the xiaolongbao in one bite.
"This jade dumpling tastes good, you should try it." Fu Jue picked up another white and green dumpling for her to eat, and his feeding habit started again.
"I'll do it myself!" Gu Qingqing said, then quickly closed her lips again, refusing to eat the food he picked up.
Could he be trying to become her zookeeper?
She's not a small animal, nor is she without hands or feet, lazy and unwilling to do anything, so why should he take such meticulous and humble care of her?
"Qingqing, you're hungry, you need to fill your stomach quickly. If you don't like jade dumplings, then have some fried noodles." Fu Jue put down the dumpling and fork, picked up his chopsticks, rolled up the fried noodles in the bowl like he was eating spaghetti, and fed them to her.
Who just said that you shouldn't eat too fast, because it will affect your stomach and intestines if you eat for too long?
