Chapter 87: Public Excellence
Gong Zhili is making breakfast.
She hasn't been here recently, so there's no extra food in the refrigerator.
But there were still eggs. She fried them with one hand and checked her emails on her phone with the other.
This is a habit I have developed in recent years.
Probably because Gojo always complained that she didn't reply to his messages in time, sometimes he would keep her updated on the chat app all day long, and even a small miss would mean a huge amount of messages.
Gong Zhili looked through the messages and found that everyone had sent her messages, all of which were asking about the progress between her and Gojo.
Someone more perceptive, like Naoko, would have directly asked her if she had a "wonderful night" with Gojo. If Gojo wasn't useful, she could have found a way to get some medicine. Miya Chiri, holding the pot, replied, "What medicine?"
The more obtuse ones, like Huihara, were reporting on how they took care of the children in the village last night.
They cooked hot pot at home with their children and finished the last of the hot pot base at home. They wanted to ask her to go to Chinatown to buy some more.
Gong Zhili added this matter to his memo, and suddenly a heavy body pressed down on him.
"Good morning~" After washing up, Gojo Satoru hung on his girlfriend's back refreshed, and bent down to kiss her ear - he wanted to do this last night, no, he had thought about it a long time ago.
Gong Zhili's hand shrank for a moment, she put down the frying pan, turned off the fire, and put some distance between herself and Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Why are you staying away from me?"
Gong Zhili touched his ear and said helplessly, "It's a little itchy."
She turned around, cupped Gojo Satoru's face with her hands, and looked up at her new boyfriend.
Gojo Satoru held his breath.
The morning light shone through the window, casting a soft golden edge on Gong Zhili's profile.
Gojo Satoru looked at her and began to realize that they were too close to each other, and his refreshing scent had enveloped her.
Gong Zhili held his face, and her fingertips clearly felt the elasticity and warmth of the boy's skin. Those eyes, which seemed to hold the entire sky, now clearly reflected her figure, and there was only her in his eyes, with a concentration that was heart-wrenching.
In the past, Gong Zhili would not stare at Gojo's face out of some strange idea of "don't look at what is inappropriate", but now she had the right to admire his identity, so she used her eyes to carefully describe his high nose bridge, well-shaped lip line, and silver-white eyelashes that were almost transparent in the morning light.
He was indeed breathtakingly handsome, the kind of handsomeness that was extremely aggressive and would attract people's attention wherever he went. His usual arrogant look was restrained in front of her, and under her focused gaze, he revealed a hint of cherished satisfaction.
A pure pleasure of appreciating beautiful things, mixed with the clear affection that had sprouted from the bottom of her heart last night, deepened the smile on her lips. Without hesitation, she slightly stood on tiptoe, and Gojo Satoru lowered his head in response, and their lips touched.
This was a kiss that went beyond a morning greeting and was more certain than last night's first kiss. It carried her unique sweet scent and a hint of unconcealable pleasure.
Gojo Satoru's body tensed imperceptibly for a moment. The warm touch of her lips, the curve of her lips, stirred the suppressed plundering desire deep in his soul. The afterglow of last night's youthful confession was instantly ignited, burning his throat.
He almost immediately took the initiative, firmly grasping his girlfriend's lower back with one hand, pressing her deeper into him, lowering his head to deepen the kiss, and wrapping one arm around her shoulders, forcing her to open her arms and wrap them around his shoulders.
This kiss was no longer a test, but a clear response, with a possessiveness that would not allow her to retreat or hide once confirmed. This kiss had the aggressiveness of an adult man, and Gong Zhili could soon feel the tip of her tongue numb. She strangely felt his cherished restraint in between her gasps, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and her fingers clutched the fabric on his shoulders.
After a moment, Gong Zhili gently pushed his shoulder - the fried eggs were about to get cold, and Gojo Satoru reluctantly let go of her a little, resting his forehead against hers, with a burning sensation in the depths of his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised with satisfaction and pride.
"I like you," his voice was low and hoarse from a kiss, and his hot breath brushed her lips. "You are fascinated by me too, right?" His eyes were locked on her, greedily watching every subtle change on her face.
No one could help but feel a thrill under his gaze, especially Gong Zhili, because she knew how this person felt about her, vaguely understood his desire, and knew how... focused his gaze was at this moment.
The young people's love is too obvious.
There was no way she couldn't help being moved.
"I like it very much." She met his burning gaze and said, "Everything about you... I am very interested in it and I like it very much."
Gojo Satoru chuckled and nuzzled her nose affectionately: "I'll keep working hard."
The smugness in his tone was almost overflowing.
Gong Zhili glanced at him and said, "It's time to eat now."
She turned to serve the fried eggs, and Gojo Satoru followed closely: "Are you shy?"
Gong Zhili pointed his finger at Gojo Satoru's chest and said, "Shut up and eat."
It was not good to push his girlfriend too hard, so Gojo Satoru had to give up with regret.
Because he was in a good mood, Gojo Satoru had no objection to the plan for today proposed by Gong Zhili. Although he also suggested going to Disney for another day, Gong Zhili did not seem depressed after he refused.
Anyway, it’s good that he can follow her all the time today.
As the two of them left, he watched Gong Zhili close the door and blurted out, "Can I come stay here anytime in the future?"
Gong Zhili glanced at him: "This is your house."
Gojo Satoru reached out and took her hand: "You know that's not what I meant."
Gong Zhili's expression remained unchanged, but he shook hands back: "When you went to the village, did I ever refuse you to stay overnight?"
Gojo Satoru chuckled, "This is different from that."
Gong Zhili: "Then it's the same now."
Gojo Satoru pressed the issue further: "Can I hold your hand in the village?"
Miyajima spoke frankly, "Do you want to see other people's reactions? I think everyone except Huibara should have some guesses."
The twins and Tsu Miki should be able to guess it, after all, they are girls with sharp minds.
Now that they know it, the remaining two boys should know it too.
So Gojo might really just want to see Haibara's reaction.
Gojo Satoru snorted, "What's the point of just watching their reactions..."
He wants everyone in the village to know about this!
Gojo Satoru drove to Chinatown. Ever since he wanted to pursue Miya Chiri, he preferred to drive himself every time he picked her up.
It's a bit of a hassle to have an auxiliary supervisor sitting in the front.
Gong Zhili sat in his passenger seat, and he was very satisfied with the feeling of having a fixed seat.
Parking the car, locking it, picking up Gong Zhili's backpack, all these things made people feel comfortable.
Gong Zhili: "How does it feel to carry my small bag?"
Gojo Satoru slung the small beaded bag containing his cell phone over his shoulder without any hesitation, as if the bag was one of his fashion items.
Gong Zhili couldn't help laughing.
Gojo Satoru naturally carried the shopping. Gong Zhili looked at the large and small bags in his hands and said, "Give me half."
Gojo Satoru tilted his head slightly: "What's wrong?"
Gong Zhili shook his left hand: "Hold hands."
Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky, then stared at her face for a moment, handed her the lighter bags, and then held her hand tightly.
Gong Zhili's hands were soft and smooth. He felt them carefully with his palms and found no signs of years of labor, but he also knew that these hands could do many amazing things.
——I couldn’t help but clench my fist a little tighter.
It was already evening when they returned to the village. The main reason was that the two of them had an argument about "whether to drive back to the village" or "teleport directly home". While they were arguing in the car, they had already driven half the distance and bought more things and piled them in the car. Only then did Gong Zhili give up the idea of teleporting directly home.
Although I don’t know what Gojo Satoru is planning, if he wants to drive back, then let him do it.
So what Geto Suguru saw was his close friend getting out of the car carrying lots of bags as if he had just returned from a victory, and Miya Chiri who was carrying nothing in front of him and was still looking down at the news.
"He didn't even make it to home plate, yet he's acting so smug." Ieiri Naoko tutted and muttered softly, turning to Geto and saying, "Is that his personality? He's become twice as annoying since we started dating."
Geto Xia Yu said with a hint of meaning: "As long as Chiri can tolerate it, it's fine. If Chiri finds him annoying——"
At this time, Gojo Satoru had already put his things in the corridor. Hearing this, he said dissatisfiedly, "You haven't said a word since I came back!"
Gong Zhili put away her phone and patted his arm soothingly: "I don't find you annoying, you're very cute."
Nanami Kento would never forget Gojo-senpai's expression: shyness or pride? The look on his face was almost exhilarating, and it made Nanami Kento realize that this senior was having the best time of his life, and his successful relationship was the icing on the cake for his perfect life.
However - this has nothing to do with him as a worker in the world of spellcasting.
While other people's youth is full of splendor, he just wants to live a regular and stable life.
Haibara Yuu belatedly realized something: "Nanami, are Gojo-senpai and Chiri dating?"
Nanami Kento: "It's obvious."
Huiyuan Xiong exclaimed: "I don't even know..."
Tenriko: Haibara, you don’t know that there are many things - never mind.
The children were much calmer than the excited adults. The twins each took one of Miya Chiri's hands and led her into the house. Tsu Miki followed behind her, separating her from Gojo Satoru and turning back to say, "Gojo-nii, don't follow us. We need to talk first!"
Gong Zhili smiled helplessly and waved his hands to Gojo Satoru: "Then please pack up the things you bought first, we bought a bit too much."
Gojo Satoru crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.
Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori followed Tsumiki and closed the door.
Geto Suguru: "A family meeting at this time is equivalent to a military court. Satoru, are you ready to integrate into this family?"
Gojo Satoru squatted down to pack his things and said, "These three years haven't been wasted."
Riko suddenly realized, "So, Gojo-senpai, you've already planned this!"
Jialiu Xiaozi squatted down and picked up the hot pot base, saying, "Let's eat hot pot today. There's still a lot of meat in the refrigerator."
Several people quickly packed up their things, and the results of the discussion inside came out.
While the others were preparing the ingredients in the kitchen, Tsu Miki stood in the living room next to Gojo Satoru and read out the results of the family meeting.
"...That's all. Welcome Gojo-nii to join our family."
Tsu Miki put the "meeting record board" in her hand into his hand with a stern face.
Gojo Satoru listened carefully and asked with a smile, "I've already accomplished all the things you just mentioned in the past three years, haven't I?"
Gong Zhili smiled as she sat on the other side of the table.
Tsu Miki nodded: "So Gojo-nii, you have to keep striving for perfection!"
Gong Zhili: "It's amazing that you can use such complex vocabulary in elementary school."
Nanako: "Sister, please don't interrupt."
Gong Zhili smiled and zipped up his mouth.
Gojo Satoru noticed her little action and was overwhelmed by her cuteness again.
Gojo Satoru coughed lightly and said, "Of course I will."
So the "military court" activities came to an end, and everyone gathered at home for dinner, rest, work, and then rested as usual.
"I'll be staying at the technical high school for the time being," Ieiri Shoko said, "Although you're very strong, Chiri, but—"
There was a hint of worry in her tone: "If your identity and your relationship with Gojo are made public, it will attract those guys-"
The world of curse arts has been calm on the surface in recent years, because Gojo Satoru's reforms were so powerful that all those who stood out were defeated, causing the opposition to hide deeper and deeper, making it difficult to find them. However, they can all feel that these people have not disappeared, but have extended a more complex root system underground.
"The village can't be the target of public criticism," added Geto. "Come live with us at the high school."
Gong Zhili: "Why do you still live on campus after graduation?"
Gojo Satoru rested his chin on her shoulder and hugged her from behind: "Because the dormitory is very convenient, and the barrier of the technical high school is very useful."
Geto Xia Yu held his forehead with his hand: "Satoru, we are talking about serious things now!"
Although we have been friends for several years, you are too unsociable!
Ieiri Naoko looked at her phone: "I think it would be better if you ignored him."
Gong Zhili tilted her head slightly. She felt a little itchy in her ears, but she didn't complain about Gojo's behavior. "Then I will go to the technical high school with you."

The author has something to say: These days of preparing for the exam were truly hellish, but luckily the results were pretty good (wiping sweat). I'm going to update and save up for RP, and I hope everything goes smoothly in the future! [Panda Head]
