When Gu Zixiao noticed that Lan Yao had suddenly stopped talking, he looked up and saw that Lan Yao was staring at his hand as he cut the mutton.
A slight smile played on his lips: "How is it? Doesn't it look great? Aren't you mesmerized by my chopping skills?"
Lan Yao was speechless: "How can you be so tactless?"
Gu Zixiao looked disappointed: "Ah, so you weren't captivated by me after all."
Lan Yao: "I've noticed that you've changed. When we met on the train before, you were very arrogant, acting like I was an idiot."
Gu Zixiao: ...
"...Can we not bring up the past?"
Damn, it's so embarrassing to think about now, I wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Moreover, Gu Zixiao also discovered that this incident seemed to have become an obstacle to his pursuit of Lan Yao.
Damn it! If he had known this day would come, he definitely wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
Gu Zixiao thought for a moment, then looked at him with a resentful gaze: "Besides, haven't you retaliated against me a few times already?"
"Besides, you can hit me whenever you want, and I've never fought back, have I? So, apart from the first few times, you haven't suffered any losses since."
So, all things considered, we're even now.
Lan Yao: ...
Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true?
The jade Pixiu laughed incessantly: "Master, I think he's right. You did indeed take inhumane revenge against him. And he didn't even retaliate."
Later, I don't know if it was because of that that he fell in love with you. So, no matter what you did, he didn't lay a hand on you, and even his attitude became much more restrained.
Jade Abacus: "So what? Is it because he doesn't want to? No, it's just that he can't beat our master."
Another reason is that our homeowner has such strong personal charm that he chose to compromise.
Would Gu Zixiao have changed if it were someone else? I doubt it.
Jade Pixiu: "You can't say that. Gu Zixiao does have his problems, but he's not a bad person and he wouldn't beat his wife."
Yu Suanpan chuckled coldly: "Since when has beating one's wife become a standard of judgment? Isn't it the most basic thing a man should do?"
Men are naturally stronger than women, but that doesn't mean they can bully women at will.
The only reason Gu Zixiao is giving in now is because his master is stronger than him and can beat him at will.
The two trinkets started arguing in Lan Yao's mind.
Lan Yao was already used to this.
While cutting the mutton, Gu Zixiao kept an eye on Lan Yao's mood. He noticed that Lan Yao seemed to be silent, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did I make you feel guilty?"
Lan Yao glanced at him indifferently and chuckled, "I'm silent because I think what you said is wrong, and I can't be bothered to talk to you."
"...What do you mean?" Gu Zixiao had already finished cutting up the whole leg of lamb and replaced it with other vegetables. He asked as he scooped water out of the water vat.
"Of course it's because I'm stronger than you, so you've compromised for now."
Gu Zixiao sighed and said, "You're wrong. If I hadn't fallen for you and been obsessed with you, I wouldn't care who you were, and even if you were incredibly powerful, I wouldn't seek revenge."
Lan Yao raised an eyebrow: "...I didn't expect you to be so persistent?"
To be fair, Gu Zixiao is indeed quite persistent in her work.
Gu Zixiao: "Of course. If I hadn't persistently pursued you, how could I have discovered your charm? And how could I have fallen for you because of it?"
Lan Yao: ...
No, what's wrong with you? You always say this right on cue.
Something feels off.
There was no way around it; Lan Yao had never been in love in her past life, and she had witnessed far too many kinds of love that were terrifying.
She thought that if men were reliable, pigs could fly.
Gu Zixiao: "You're not answering, is it because you don't like it, or because you don't believe it?"
Lan Yao took a deep breath: "I have both. I don't have parents; I was raised by my grandfather when I was little."
Although I later had parents, their relationship was not good, and they divorced not long after.
Moreover, they weren't nice to me either.
Therefore, I don't believe in love, and I don't trust others; I trust myself more.
Gu Zixiao looked up at Lan Yao: "I understand."
Lan Yao meant that all that nonsense was useless to me.
Gu Zixiao also agreed with this.
Instead of talking so much nonsense, let's do more practical things.
It's better to do more than to talk a lot.
Of course, Gu Zixiao felt that doing more and talking more could be done at the same time.
This way, Lan Yao will know what he has done and feel his love.
Having figured this out, Gu Zixiao worked even harder.
Lan Yao was a little surprised. She thought he would say something greasy that would make her feel creeped out.
It's quite strange that this guy didn't say anything.
Lan Yao: "Do you need my help?"
Gu Zixiao: "Then help me peel some garlic."
Lan Yao nodded and offered to help with the work.
After Lan Yao finished peeling the garlic, Gu Zixiao asked Lan Yao to thin out the sesame paste.
People in northern China like to eat sesame sauce with hot pot.
Lan Yao's eyes lit up when she saw the sesame paste, and she asked in surprise, "Where did you find this?"
Gu Zixiao washed all the vegetables, chopped them casually, and then started kneading the dough and rolling out noodles.
He was worried that Lan Yao might want to eat something hot after she finished the hot pot.
