Chapter 25 The Wet Whispers Under the Table, 'Appetizers'! Part One...
At the dinner table, the two people sitting next to Pei Qing remained composed, their elegant knife and fork movements showing no sign of being under the table.
Pei Qing put down her cutlery, kicked off the slowly rising foot, and then crushed it hard as it landed.
So composed? It seems it still doesn't hurt enough, so she added more force, and this time, the sound of bones cracking could even be clearly heard.
Looking at the two who still seemed completely oblivious, Pei Qing picked up her cutlery again, released her foot, and thought, "Fine, they're both ruthless enough to not make a sound even after being stomped on like this."
We can't afford to offend them. If they come after us, things will get really bad. Let's just eat.
Sitting on the right, Gu Fei shifted his legs seemingly unintentionally. His legs were perfectly free. He looked up, smiling brightly, and asked with concern, "Achen, why have you only eaten so little? Is the food not to your liking?"
Gu Zichen's face was a little pale, but he smiled and his polite manner was impeccable. "Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. I just didn't sleep well last night and my head is still spinning. Did you sleep well last night, Sister? I'm so sorry to have troubled you with that matter."
He then changed the subject back to Pei Qing, who nodded helplessly, "Ha, it's fine."
She didn't say a word more than necessary, and continued to eat with her head down. She was so gluttonous, she wanted to eat faster so she could leave quickly. She hoped her brother's dispute wouldn't involve her.
Every day is so busy, even eating a meal is a struggle.
"Really? That's good. I thought..." Gu Zichen's lips twitched down uncontrollably. Unconsciously, the fork in his hand had already turned the steak into a lump of mush.
He's still too young and too impatient. Gu Fei smiled as he peeled a shrimp for Pei Qing. He used a fork to hold the shrimp in place, then used the tip of a knife to cut and twist it, and the whole pink and white shrimp meat was placed on the plate next to him.
Pei Qing ate silently. Hmm! Without having to peel it herself, the shrimp meat seemed much fresher.
Gu Zichen lowered his head. His eyes were dry and his nose was slightly sore. He didn't dare to look up, afraid that if he did, tears would fall like beads from a broken string.
No one paid attention to his words, and he had absolutely no sovereignty. What right did he have to stay any longer?
Yu Guangzhong and the other person were very close (Pei Qing: How can someone be so blind... poor eyesight, but a strong imagination...), there was not a single space left for another person.
Staying here will only make me feel worse; it's pointless.
He quickly finished the little food left on his plate, wiped it with a handkerchief, said "I'm full, please enjoy your meal," and ran upstairs.
"She eats so little, like cat food," Pei Qing remarked casually, before continuing her quest for delicious food.
When I get back in a couple of days, I'll have to drink that awful-tasting, snotty nutritional liquid again. This kind of deliciousness is something I'll only get to enjoy once in a lifetime, so I should eat as much as I can. I guess I won't have the chance to eat it again until the rest of my life.
After the troublesome person left, Gu Fei stopped pretending. He put down his utensils, cupped his face in his hands, and smiled sweetly, "Master, you must eat more~ You must be very strong~"
As she spoke, her bright red tongue swept around her full lips with a suggestive gesture.
Pei Qing reached for food with her right hand, then reached out with her left hand to pinch Gu Fei's chin with force. With a "crack" sound, Gu Fei's chin was dislocated.
The man's smile remained unchanged, even more radiant than before, the corners of his mouth stretching almost to his temples. He calmly returned his chin to its normal position, completely unfazed by the pain. "Master, you are so cruel~ How could you do this to me..."
His deep green eyes narrowed, and a sickly blush rose on his pale cheeks, like a colorful venomous snake reaching out, only millimeters away from Pei Qing's ear.
Her tone was tender and gentle, like a lover's whisper, "But I like it so much~ This isn't enough..."
Pei Qing felt a cool sensation on her ears, and Gu Fei gave her another bite.
"Let's emphasize it again... haha~"
"Don't scratch while we're eating." Pei Qing raised her knee and kicked him between the legs without holding back, stomping mercilessly, and laughed maliciously, "Is that enough?"
The force was so great that it overturned a whole set of tableware to the ground.
Gu Fei's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, clearly indicating that he was in great pain.
After all, it was the most vulnerable part, and Pei Qian didn't believe he wasn't in pain, not to mention there was some kind of iron object on it.
But the man was stubborn; his eyelashes trembled, and his lips quivered, yet he still managed to utter, "Of course... not enough... please be a little harder—um!"
Pei Qing stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth and clapped her hands. "Finally, some peace and quiet. You talk too much nonsense. It's better to shut your mouth up."
"Ugh—" Gu Fei couldn't speak. This was a gift from his master, and even if he could move his hands, he wouldn't take it off. His ears twitched, but his master said it would be better to stuff something in them. Was he implying something?
Gu Fei pulled out a chair, squatted down, pulled back the long, heavy tablecloth, and slowly crawled into the dining table.
Pei Qian frowned. What was this pervert up to now? She nudged Gu Fei, and the person under the table handed her a pair of chopsticks. She breathed a sigh of relief; so he was just picking something up.
She ignored the commotion under the table and finished the food she hadn't eaten earlier.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Pei Qing's body stiffened abruptly. Something was moving, slippery, warm, and soft, right on her crotch!
Wait a minute, this feeling is really bad!
Pei Qian yanked the tablecloth off, and the man knelt on the ground.
The heavy tablecloth was stuffy and not breathable at all. His dark hair was soaked with sweat and lay limply on his sides.
His pale, handsome cheeks were flushed, his high, straight nose was stained with clear water droplets, and his thin, soft, triangular tongue protruded from his lips, reverently cupping...
She knew it; someone so honest must be up to something! It was for Pei □□, and her blood was rushing to her head uncontrollably.
Gu Fei's silver-rimmed glasses were askew, his eyes were unfocused, and his mind was still a bit foggy. Through his hazy vision, he noticed the obvious change and subconsciously moved closer, his soft cheek pressed against hers, his hair becoming even more disheveled.
"—!" Pei Qing cried out inwardly, "This is terrible! This is someone else's dining table! What if people come over later?! I don't want to be seen as a pervert!!!"
Gu Fei seemed to sense her hesitation, smiled, and tapped Pei Qing's thigh with her slender, pale fingers. Her Adam's apple bobbed, and her voice was soft and hoarse, "No one will come... I've already given the orders."
"Although I've arranged a beautiful scene over there, if Master wants to stay here..."
Gu Fei rested his head on her waist and abdomen, winking teasingly, "I'm looking forward to it too~"
"Get out!" Pei Qing shook her leg, trying to flick away the green-eyed, venomous snake that was spraying venom everywhere and trying to infect her, but the snake remained coiled up there without moving an inch.
“However, the appetizers weren’t delicious enough; they just made me even hungrier.” Gu Fei held one of her feet between his knees. “I’m still hoping that Master can feed me something more delicious…”
"This gift will only be truly interesting if the owner opens it themselves..."
Pei Qing couldn't help but wonder what was inside. After this ordeal, she was truly curious.
"Aren't you afraid I won't go to the appointment tonight? Are you that confident?" She suddenly felt thirsty and picked up the pomegranate juice on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
A few drops of bright red juice dribbled from the corner of his mouth, fell onto Gu Fei's face, then slid quickly past his protruding collarbone and into his collar, disappearing from sight.
"I believe my master will be eager to see this gift and will not be disappointed."
One sitting, one kneeling; one still, one moving; one bowing, one looking up.
Pei Qing suddenly smiled, and Gu Fei smiled too. She grabbed his hair, her dark eyes swirling with emotion.
"Okay, then you mustn't let me down."

Author's Note: Ugh, I've been incredibly busy in the real world these past few days, absolutely swamped in the lab! (crying)
I actually wrote some before, but I wasn't in a good state of mind. I kept deleting and revising, but I still felt it wasn't good enough, and it was still too short... I kept putting it off until today (kneeling down).
The outline still has some issues; some characters' introductions are a bit off (scratching head). I plan to revise it again. Thank you all for your patience! (bows again)
I've finally taken the time to organize the world-building and gender settings I wrote before, so please take a look, my darlings:
Regarding gender settings:
Similar to traditional ABO fiction, but with a few differences. Only the main points will be explained here. The remaining details will be elaborated upon in the text.
There are six genders, three for males and three for females, for a total of six. The ABO gender ratio tends to be balanced. On average, gender differentiation occurs at age eighteen, but there may be exceptions.
Woman A:
The biggest difference from tradition lies in the tools (they are tools, but not entirely modeled after men). When not in use (in everyday life), the tools are embedded in the body (similar to some animal designs), and are bone-in.
It extends spontaneously when in use (and also when it receives a stimulus).
Despite the elongation and variation of the fallopian tubes, the fertile egg remains the provider of the egg and the enabler of reproduction.
In terms of mental strength and physical constitution, it is easier for male A to produce extremely high levels (such as SS, SSS level).
The psychic pheromones are more stable and less likely to get out of control or be affected by genetic diseases.
Male A:
It is almost identical to the traditional one. However, due to the instability of a certain V gene, it is more susceptible to genetic diseases and radiation-related illnesses.
This leads to instability in mental strength and pheromones, resulting in corresponding illnesses. Physical and mental strength are generally average, with exceptionally high levels being rare (most are A or S grade). Reproduction is similar to traditional methods, so details are omitted. They possess glands and pheromones and have a susceptible period.
Female B:
Similar to traditional ones, they have no reproductive function, no pheromones, can smell scents but cannot sense the information they contain, and cannot be suppressed.
The average level of mental strength and physical constitution is below Grade A.
Male B:
Same as above.
Female O:
Capable of reproduction, unlike traditional Earth women
Similar to each other, they possess pheromones and glands, and can be labeled.
remember.
Because it is the primary organ, the damage it suffers after childbirth is much less compared to that of male reproductive organs.
They have high mental strength but low physical fitness, which can be improved through diet and daily exercise.
Pheromones from A and O attract each other, with corresponding matching values. Those with higher mental strength can be re-marked as A.
Male O:
They possess glands and pheromones, and are capable of reproduction. Unlike the aforementioned female O, their reproductive organs, called gestational sacs, develop later in life, and childbirth can cause harm to their bodies. Their mental strength is lower than that of female O, and their physical constitution is weaker.
The rest is similar to the above.
