Xia Yueyue thought she was hallucinating and frowned, asking, "Are you sure it's ten boxes? Even pigs can't eat that much. Can you at least think before you brag? If you're going to lie, you shouldn't tell such a lame story. Can you come up with something more plausible?"
Su Ying looked at Gu Sinian with a wronged expression, pointing at Xia Yueyue as she complained, "Honey, she said you're a pig. And she complained that you eat too much."
Gu Sinian's lips twitched and his scalp tingled. He had just said those words to make Xia Yueyue back down, but he didn't expect the little girl to suddenly say something like that.
They spread rumors that he can eat ten boxes of rice, but even elephants can't eat that much. Only then would people believe it.
The rumors are detached from reality.
How can we fix this?
Only someone with her little brain could come up with that idea, but the way she tattled was actually quite cute.
The rumor has already been spread, so I have to give my wife face and keep up the act no matter what.
His wife has come begging to his door. If he doesn't take her side, what will he do if she ignores him on her social media at night?
The little girl is quite vengeful.
Without his wife by his side, he really couldn't sleep.
Gu Sinian looked at Xia Yueyue with a serious expression, and then admitted to this shameful side of himself.
“My wife is right. I can definitely eat ten boxes of stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork. If you want to send me some next time, send me this amount. I’ll eat it all and make sure there’s no waste.”
He wasn't exactly lying. His wife had a spatial ability, so even if Comrade Xia really bought ten boxes of food, he could just throw them into the spatial ability and eat them slowly later.
Just consider it as if I ate it myself.
It's not exactly lying.
You have to maintain the persona your wife has set for you, no matter what.
With his enormous appetite, he'll surely scare away that annoying Comrade Xia.
I finally had some time alone with my wife, but it was all ruined by her occasional appearances.
He was already furious, so it would be good if he scared her away, then no one would disturb his time with his young wife.
I don't know if Comrade Xia is out of his mind. He said he didn't need to repay the favor, so shouldn't he be running faster than a rabbit?
Who would have thought that being burdened by gratitude would lead to him showing up every now and then, which is quite an eyesore.
It's not like he's without anyone to take care of him. Xiaoqiang and Xiaogang are guarding outside. He can just call out if he needs anything. He's not going to starve. All he's missing is her portion of stir-fried green peppers and pork.
baffling.
Am I overthinking this?
They got way too into character.
Speechless.
Xia Yueyue looked at Gu Sinian in disbelief. Could he really eat so much?
He doesn't look like that kind of person.
How did it turn out like this?
It wasn't quite what she had imagined.
My idol turned into a glutton; I was a little taken aback.
“Brother Gu, I really didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to take care of you, after all, you became like this because you saved me.”
"It's perfectly reasonable for me to take care of you, so don't feel guilty. Don't make up such a lame lie to make me back down."
"If you don't welcome me, I'll leave immediately and definitely won't get in your way."
After saying that, she slipped away. She needed to calm down for a while; the information was too much for her to process.
"etc."
Su Ying called out to Xia Yueyue, who was walking out, and pointed to the aluminum lunchbox on the table.
"If you really want to treat my husband to dinner, then order ten boxes like this. Otherwise, take the box that's on the table away."
"This little bit of food is really not even enough to fill my husband's teeth."
Xia Yueyue glared angrily at Su Ying. Ten boxes would cost a lot of money, and she didn't have much cash on her to begin with. She turned her head away through gritted teeth.
"Okay. I'll go buy them. I want to see how you guys manage to eat eleven boxes of takeout."
Su Ying gestured for them to go ahead and buy it. "Hurry up and go buy it. We're all hungry and about to eat, otherwise there won't be anything to eat when we do."
Xia Yueyue knew that the couple were deliberately making things difficult for her. She had been keeping a close eye on Gu Sinian's ward, but she had never seen the two soldiers at the door bring in ten boxed meals.
It was just a way to make things difficult for her.
She simply wouldn't fall for it.
Then buy ten boxes of stir-fried green peppers with pork and see how they respond.
If she can't eat, she's lying. That way, she can come to the ward more often, become familiar with the patient, and win over Gu Sinian in one fell swoop.
"Okay. I'll go to the state-run restaurant right away and buy ten boxes of food. If you can't finish them, don't stop me from coming to the ward to take care of Brother Gu in the future."
"make a deal."
“It’s only interesting if there’s give and take. I can’t let you get all the benefits. If we finish eating, you have to promise to buy me meals for ten days, ten boxes each time. After ten days, our accounts will be settled, and we’ll be even.”
"Okay. Deal."
The two of them went about their business without a second thought, completely forgetting about Gu Sinian. Why didn't anyone ask for his opinion?
"I……"
Su Ying stopped him, saying, "This is a war between women. You, a grown man, shouldn't meddle."
Helpless, Gu Sinian chose to keep quiet.
Su Ying smiled broadly, her smile was incredibly sweet.
"Fool, it's just ten boxes of stir-fried green peppers and pork. She'll take as many as she wants; she has plenty of space."
Isn't it to repay a debt of gratitude?
Since she didn't want to spend money, I just ran errands for her and prepared more meals, enough to support her for a month. That was fine too.
When the time comes, we'll be even, and neither of us will owe the other anything.
She quite liked the food at the state-run restaurants.
Having food to eat and being able to store grain is a win-win situation.
"Okay. I'll go right away. Please remember your word. Don't go back on your word later."
It's a deal.
Having received a definite answer, Xia Yueyue stared intently at Gu Sinian.
