Lan Yao blinked, completely surprised that Gu Zixiao would ask her such a question.
Why would you ask me such a question?
Lan Yao's evasive and digressive approach slightly annoyed Gu Zixiao.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me! My heart is aching so much right now, it hurts so much I can't breathe."
As Gu Zixiao spoke, she clutched her chest, looking as if she were in real pain.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Lan Yao and said, "It's okay. I know we haven't known each other for very long, and it's understandable that you don't believe me. But I want to tell you that I believe you. No matter what you do, I will always be on your side."
Lan Yao: ...
She was speechless; what on earth was all this?
Lan Yao held back for a moment, but couldn't help rolling her eyes at Gu Zixiao: "Should I be glad you have self-awareness!"
Gu Zixiao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes forming a small fan-like shape in the sunlight, creating a beautiful shadow.
"I know I've always been very self-aware in front of you. But it's okay, because I like you."
Lan Yao took a deep breath. She felt an itch in her fists. Her face was expressionless. "Speak properly to me. Otherwise, get out of here."
Gu Zixiao looked at her hesitantly: "Why are you so mean to me! You don't trust me, and you're being mean to me."
Lan Yao: ...
Aaaaaaah!
Ugh, so annoying!
Jade Pixiu: "Master, the handsome man's green tea nature is quite interesting."
Yu Suanpan: "Don't you think men like that are terrifying?"
Jade Pixiu: "Maybe a little. But he's pretty good in other aspects. He's also very attentive and considerate to his owner. It feels like he'd give you everything he could want."
Jade Abacus: "Pipi, what's wrong with you? How could you be bewitched by a handsome man? What if he's an abuser?"
Jade Pixiu: "He can't beat our master either."
The jade Pixiu is confused!
If we're really talking about domestic violence, even the jade Pixiu is afraid that its owner might abuse Gu Zixiao at the slightest disagreement.
The jade Pixiu's words left the jade abacus speechless, because it seemed that what the jade Pixiu said was probably true.
Lan Yao was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Zixiao anymore. She yawned and walked into the house without looking back.
Grandma Yu isn't home today. She went out for a stroll with Grandma Li and others, so she's all alone at home today.
Seeing Lan Yao walk into the house, Gu Zixiao followed closely behind and asked, "You look very tired? Have you eaten? Why don't you take a nap first, and I'll get you something to eat."
Lan Yao: "...Mainly because I've been so busy without rest, and suddenly stopping made me feel exhausted. I haven't eaten, I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat."
Gu Zixiao understood Lan Yao's earlier statement, but was displeased with Lan Yao's later statement.
"That won't do. I'll just make you something simple. I'll cook you a big meal when I get back tonight."
Since Gu Zixiao wanted to do it, Lan Yao didn't stop her: "Okay, do it if you want. But I'd like something simple, just make me a bowl of noodles."
Gu Zixiao nodded and said, "Okay."
He then remembered: "I just bought a few roast chickens and the most famous roast duck in Beijing from the state-run restaurant."
Lan Yao said "oh," waved her hand, and went inside to rest; she was indeed quite tired.
Seeing that Lan Yao was really tired, Gu Zixiao felt a little sorry for her. Then, as if remembering something, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
So at noon, in addition to making a bowl of cabbage and shredded pork noodles for Lan Yao, Gu Zixiao also made her a bowl of brown sugar and egg water.
After he finished getting everything ready, Gu Zixiao went to call Lan Yao to get up for dinner.
Lan Yao only dozed off for about twenty minutes and didn't fall into a deep sleep, so she woke up as soon as Gu Zixiao called her.
Seeing that her mental state was still not good, Gu Zixiao's suspicions about her became even clearer.
Gu Zixiao hesitated for a moment, then stammered, embarrassed, "Lan Yao, besides being too tired, is your period coming soon?"
Lan Yao was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Gu Zixiao had asked. Lan Yao actually thought about it seriously for a moment.
"It might be true."
Gu Zixiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll make you brown sugar and egg water to drink recently."
Lan Yao looked at Gu Zixiao: "You seem to care about me quite a bit."
Gu Zixiao: "Of course I care. You're the one I'm pursuing. Once you become my wife, you'll be mine. So of course I have to care about you even more. What if you don't like me? I'd be losing out."
"Actually, I'm starting to look down on you a bit now," Lan Yao said.
Gu Zixiao's eyes widened, then she said calmly, "I can tell."
You noticed?
Gu Zixiao held back for a moment, but still couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Am I stupid? You rejected me so badly. And you were indifferent to everything I did. You didn't even look at my appearance."
Gu Zixiao snorted, "You're a terrible woman. If you didn't like me in the first place, why did you kiss me? Now you're just playing hard to get, keeping me hanging on."
Lan Yao raised an eyebrow: "You're already getting impatient? It hasn't been that long. Sure enough, men are all the same."
"Hey hey hey! I didn't mean it..." Gu Zixiao realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly followed Lan Yao, saying, "I, I was just being cheeky. Actually, it's just that I feel like you're not interested in me. And I've never pursued anyone before, so of course I'm a little anxious."
Lan Yao pouted: "It's only been a few days. You can't even hold back anymore. If I really agreed to marry you, you'd probably care about me even less. After all, you've already got what you wanted."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao broke out in a cold sweat: "I won't, I promise."
“Your promises are useless to me. People are fickle. Human hearts are complicated,” Lan Yao said slowly while eating her noodles.
Gu Zixiao's expression immediately became serious: "I'm telling the truth. We Gu family members are all devoted lovers, and we will only marry one person in our lifetime."
Gu Zixiao wasn't lying; that's exactly what the Gu family did.
Lan Yao gave an "oh" and ignored him, continuing to eat.
Gu Zixiao: ...
He sighed inwardly, feeling regretful, wishing he could turn back time.
He promised he would never throw a tantrum again.
After Lan Yao finished eating, Gu Zixiao quickly cleaned up and then took a burlap sack from his room and handed it to Lan Yao.
Lan Yao glanced at it and asked expressionlessly, "What is this?"
Gu Zixiao's eyes sparkled as she said, "The jade you wanted."
Lan Yao: ...
She looked at the sack, then at Gu Zixiao!
You put the jade items in sacks?
This is terrible!
