After Lan Yao saw him leave, before she could figure out what had happened, the jade Pixiu asked, "Master, what did he mean by that? What do you mean by threatening you? Why would he threaten you? If you don't do what he wants, what else can he do?"
Jade Abacus was also furious: "I thought he was a good young man, but I didn't expect him to be such a bastard, actually thinking of threatening the master, really, really..."
Lan Yao asked Yu Suanpan coolly, "Didn't you say you drugged him to prank him? But why does he seem to have no reaction at all? He's still as lively and energetic as ever?"
Jade Abacus: "...But, but, Master, I, I was wrong. I used quite a lot this time."
Jade Pixiu: "Is there a delay?"
Yu Suanpan was uncertain: "It's possible, it's possible there really will be a delay."
Jade Pixiu: "Forget it. Let's not get involved in this. Master, don't change the subject. What are you thinking?"
Lan Yao: "What else can we think? Just let nature take its course?"
Jade Pixiu: "...These things can't be left to chance. I think that with Gu Zixiao being so persistent about you, he must know what you did to Xiao Yingzi."
Lan Yao nodded: "I had my own guesses too."
Jade Pixiu: "According to Gu Zixiao's thinking, if someone as capable as you cannot be used by the country, then naturally we cannot let you go unattended."
Lan Yao nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart, Pipi."
The jade Pixiu was speechless: "Master, even at a time like this, you're still joking. What are you thinking, Master?"
Lan Yao: "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll see when the time comes."
If Gu Zixiao keeps pursuing her, she won't be able to escape quietly.
It's easy for her to be caught before she even gets out of there, or even if she does run away, given Gu Zixiao's personality, he'll chase after her.
Oh my god!
She just wanted a quiet life, not to live in hiding.
Jade Pixiu: "Seriously speaking, it's still impossible to confront the entire country."
Lan Yao hummed in agreement: "So, let's just take it one step at a time."
Compromise is out of the question.
At worst, she'll just join.
Anyway, Gu Zixiao wants her to marry him? That's impossible.
With a small weight lifted from her heart, Lan Yao felt much lighter, and she even cried a little.
She hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, and she's also been doing a lot of work during the day, so it's normal for her to be tired.
Just then, Gu Zixiao knocked on the door to tell her that the hot water was ready.
Lan Yao grabbed her change of clothes without hesitation and opened the door. Gu Zixiao raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face: "I thought you would refuse."
"Why refuse? It's foolish not to use something that's readily available."
Gu Zixiao smiled: "Yes. That's how you should think. Honey~"
Lan Yao's hair stood on end instantly. She shuddered and kicked Gu Zixiao without hesitation.
Gu Zixiao was prepared and easily dodged it.
"Honey, how could you be so violent towards her? Domestic violence is unacceptable."
Lan Yao: ...
Lan Yao realized that Gu Zixiao was taking advantage of her kindness.
“呵呵。真是没想到之前你看我鼻子不是鼻子，眼睛不是眼睛的。我不过是揍了你几次，你就爱上我了？你是不是有毛病？有毛病去医院，别来烦我，我不会看疯病。”
"How can you say you can't treat patients? Yao Xin, you're my spiritual healer, don't underestimate yourself. So, don't even think about leaving me." Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao with deep and unwavering eyes.
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you," Lan Yao turned around and looked intently at Gu Zixiao.
Gu Zixiao's eyes lit up immediately: "Ah, Yao Xin, I'm so happy! I never thought you'd be curious about me one day! I'm so glad, so what is it?"
"Why did you suddenly change your attitude towards me and want to be my wife? I'm a man, after all."
Damn it!
Tell her about this problem quickly, and she'll try to dump him in a couple of days, revert to her original gender, and scare him to death.
Lan Yao wanted to see if Gu Zixiao, who had already been turned gay, would still like women.
That would be wonderful if I didn't like women.
"Because you're funny."
That's it?
"Because of what you did in Sakurako Country, you indirectly helped me get revenge. To me, you are my savior. There's a saying that goes, 'A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body,' so naturally I will repay you with my body."
Lan Yao: "...Get lost! If that were true, anyone could marry me."
"Yao Xin, how could you do this? You can't be so greedy! Isn't having me enough for you? Besides, how could anyone else be as devoted as me? And besides, you got my body and my heart, do you want to be a scumbag and deny it?"
Lan Yao: ...
What's wrong with him? Why is he suddenly acting so stupid?
Jade Pixiu: "Master, I suddenly realize that Gu Zixiao has a good palate."
Lan Yao: "You noticed it too?"
Jade Pixiu: "Yes. So, he really looks terrifying. Master, are you just going to accept your bad luck?"
Lan Yao: "...I'll try to restore his gender then, and see what he says."
Jade Pixiu: "...I reckon he'll be ecstatic!"
Lan Yao: ...
"...Don't you dare scare me."
Jade Pixiu: "Master, can't you sense his madness? Tell me, what normal man would be so fearless as to say he wants to marry a man and become someone's wife? No normal man would do that."
Lan Yao remained silent.
Seeing Lan Yao suddenly fall silent, Gu Zixiao was surprised: "No way. No way. Yao Xin, a man as capable as you, wants to renege on your promise?"
Lan Yao ignored him and turned to wash up. Gu Zixiao, seeing that she didn't answer, kept chattering behind her.
"Oh, so you really don't want to admit it? That's fine, as long as I admit it. It's okay as long as one of us admits it. By the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I can make a lot of things, and you probably won't like the fermented mung bean juice here in Beijing."
How about I make you soy milk and fried dough sticks tomorrow? By the way, I think you were from Shanghai before? Would you like me to make you some steamed buns? Or potstickers?
Lan Yao remained silent and took the hot water to the bathroom.
Gu Zixiao took the water and poured her some: "My cooking skills are superb. They're much better than Grandma Yu's. I heard from Li Hao that you especially like Grandma Yu's braised pork. My braised pork is also very good, even better than Grandma Yu's. How about I make it for you for lunch tomorrow?"
Lan Yao ignored him, watched him fill the bathwater, and then pushed him out the door.
Gu Zixiao didn't mind being pushed away, of course, because it was Lan Yao who pushed him; if it were someone else, it would be different.
