Lan Yao took a bite of the blanched pickled cabbage, stuffed it into her mouth, and watched the old man and the child bickering with gentle eyes. It looked incredibly heartwarming.
Grandma Yu noticed Lan Yao's gaze and smiled, "Don't you think that boy Gu Zixiao is particularly stupid?"
Gu Zixiao: ...
He discovered that Grandma Yu, that old lady, liked to smear his image and sow discord between him and Lan Yao whenever she had the chance.
Did he provoke or offend her?
Lan Yao smiled and said, "It's not exactly true. Because what he said is quite accurate. A ghost is indeed going to appear, but the people in the story don't know it yet."
Grandma Yu: "So, he revealed the answer in advance, which really ruined the fun."
Gu Zixiao: "...I admit I was wrong, okay? Please stop nagging me. Besides, Lan Yao's story isn't finished yet, don't you want to hear it?"
"Of course I want to! This is a story Lan Yao told me. I've never heard such an interesting story before."
Besides, she's lived to such an old age and no one has ever told her a story.
Gu Zixiao: "So, you'd better not rush to criticize me. Wait until later before you start criticizing me."
Grandma Yu: "...I understand."
She looked at Lan Yao with gentle eyes; Lan Yao had already taken a bite of the frozen pear.
I suddenly remembered to make this a few days ago, and I didn't expect Gu Zixiao to bring it in.
Seriously!
A frozen pear that hasn't fully thawed is so cold it'll really chill your teeth if you take a bite.
Lan Yao put the frozen pears aside and continued talking with a smile.
The merchant surnamed Wang struggled to pull his carriage to the vicinity of the fire, and then he discovered that there was a dilapidated temple right next to the fire.
Although the temple was somewhat dilapidated, it was generally intact, with neatly laid tiles on the roof and the main gate in perfect condition. In such a blizzard, which was completely unsuitable for traveling, encountering such a place was like finding a treasure trove of good fortune.
Although the merchant surnamed Wang thought this way, he still gripped his short knife tightly and shouted to the people inside, "People inside, I am just a passerby who happened to be passing by. The blizzard outside is really too heavy. Could you let me in to take shelter from the wind and snow?"
The person inside remained silent. The merchant surnamed Wang called out again, and just when he could no longer bear it, the door finally opened from the inside with a creak. Then, the merchant surnamed Wang saw a beautiful woman wearing a white fox fur cloak appear before him.
The look of amazement in the eyes of the businessman surnamed Wang vanished in an instant, and he quickly returned to normal.
After all, everyone has a love for beauty.
Seeing such an outstanding woman, he naturally felt admiration, but he had no other thoughts.
After all, he was already married and had several sons and two well-behaved daughters.
His wife is a gentle and capable homemaker, and the couple has been married for many years and their relationship is still very good.
As Lan Yao recounted this, Grandma Yu couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that the businessman surnamed Wang would be so law-abiding and so respectful and loving towards his wife."
Gu Zixiao couldn't help but chime in, "Is that really true? I just can't believe it."
Grandma Yu: "...What do you mean?"
Gu Zixiao picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into Lan Yao's bowl: "Don't just focus on eating meat. By the way, do you want to put a few dumplings in?"
Then he answered Grandma Yu's question.
"Men are all the same. It's just that some men are good at pretending, and some men aren't. I don't believe that a man like that could resist such a beautiful woman on a snowy day like this."
Grandma Yu chuckled twice: "So, you're that kind of person too?"
Gu Zixiao: "...How can I be the same as him? He is him, and I am me. I will be a man who cherishes his wife in the future. As for other women, I will definitely keep my distance and treat them like air."
Grandma Yu: ...
Grandma Yu was speechless for a moment. She realized that Gu Zixiao was trying to use Lan Yao to curry favor with her.
Grandma Yu added sarcastically, "Lan Yao, you're still young. We can't get married so early. Some people are good at pretending, so we need to be careful."
Gu Zixiao: ...
Isn't he a classic case of shooting himself in the foot?
Gu Zixiao touched his nose, wondering why he felt inexplicably guilty.
After Lan Yao finished the vegetables Gu Zixiao had put on his plate, she said, "Then bring some dumplings over and cook them. I also want to eat glass noodles and regular noodles."
“Okay.” Since Lan Yao wanted to eat it, Gu Zixiao naturally did so without hesitation.
Gu Zixiao went straight to the kitchen to get it. Seeing his quick movements, Grandma Yu snorted, "This is the only thing that looks decent."
“That’s right. So let’s observe more.” Lan Yao agreed.
Lan Yao agreed with some of Grandma Yu's statements.
Lan Yao has lived two lives. In her previous life, during the Big Bang era, she learned a lot about what men were like through the internet.
Not to mention that after the apocalypse, women became a vulnerable group, even when they also possessed superpowers.
Women are generally weaker than men; this is an innate trait that sometimes cannot be overcome.
Therefore, in the beginning, women were one of the groups most vulnerable to being bullied, besides the elderly and children.
Later, many women awakened and, through their own ideas, inspired other women, and then the phenomenon of being oppressed basically disappeared.
Later on, women gained an overwhelming advantage.
As for why? It's very simple!
Women are needed to reproduce!
So later on, it became a situation where many men would cry, beg, and kneel before women, offering them large sums of money, all in the hope that the woman would get pregnant with their child.
Often at this point, many lesbian women will egg him on and make things difficult for him, saying that any man who can't hold on doesn't deserve to have children.
A woman's right to reproduce is firmly in her own hands; no one and nothing can force or deprive her of her right to have children.
If that woman wants to.
Grandma Yu nodded in agreement: "That's exactly how it should be."
At this moment, Gu Zixiao returned from outside. He was calm and not afraid at all of what Grandma Yu would say to Lan Yao while he was away.
In his view, as long as he is excellent, has enough sincerity, and remains consistent in his feelings for Lan Yao, he can definitely marry Lan Yao and the two of them can spend their lives together.
Gu Zixiao is the kind of person who either doesn't want something, or if he does, he will cherish it and will never mess around with it.
Because he knows that some things are easy to lose if you don't cherish them.
Once something is lost, it is hard to regain it.
Lan Yao is someone he should cherish and hold dear.
