Gu Beiyi gritted his teeth in annoyance, then grabbed Rong Sheng's waist and said, "Let's go!" In a few leaps, they arrived at the entrance of a grand courtyard.
"What's this?" Rong Sheng looked around, frowning as she asked, "Weren't you staying at an inn? Why did you bring me here?"
Gu Beiyi was stunned for a moment. He was in a hurry to cook for Rong Sheng, and his mind went blank for a moment. He hadn't thought about this issue before, so Gu Beiyi's mind was working very fast. But in the end, he still said the truth: "This courtyard is mine. You know that I am not the real Gu Sanniu. I had already purchased this property before I came to Wenhong County, but I just haven't used it yet!"
Rong Sheng: "...Since you own property, why don't you live in the county town, but instead live next door to me? Also, if you have a house in the county town, why didn't you say so when I arranged for you to stay at an inn yesterday? Are you trying to make a fool of me?"
Hearing Rong Sheng's tone, Gu Beiyi knew that Rong Sheng was really angry. He quickly hugged Rong Sheng tightly and said, "Sheng Sheng, I'm sorry. I forgot about what happened yesterday. I remembered it as soon as you left, so I checked out of the guest room and came back to stay here! The food you ate today was all made here!"
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. We're just ordinary friends. If you want to tell me, then tell me; if you don't, then forget it! In that case, let go of me, I'm going home to rest! It's too late, it's not appropriate for a young lady like me to wander around outside!" Rong Sheng pushed him away forcefully.
Actually, Rong Sheng wasn't that angry. She just wanted to test Gu Beiyi to see if he would reveal his true identity.
Instead of letting go, Gu Beiyi hugged Rong Sheng even tighter. His magnetic voice rang out, "Sheng Sheng! What nonsense are you talking about? It's so dangerous in the middle of the night, how could I let you go home to rest? Aren't you hungry? Come on, I'll make you a bowl of egg noodles. Eating something too greasy so late at night isn't good, otherwise you won't be able to eat breakfast tomorrow!"
Rong Sheng felt as if he had punched cotton, feeling utterly powerless.
But Gu Beiyi didn't give her a chance to refuse. He directly grabbed her and leaped into the courtyard, heading straight for the kitchen.
It was the middle of the night, and the kitchen was empty, quiet, and clean.
Gu Beiyi placed Rong Sheng on a bench in front of the Zhao Cave and said, "Wait for me a moment!"
Rong Sheng snorted, indicating that she was still angry, but her eyes remained fixed on Gu Beiyi.
She watched as Gu Beiyi gracefully turned around, found an apron, and tied it around his body.
He looks just like a stay-at-home husband, very gentle and domestic.
Rong Sheng's face was full of smiles, his expression softened, and his dark eyes were fixed on Gu Beiyi's every move, as if he were admiring a beautiful painting.
Rong Sheng's gaze was undisguised; how could Gu Beiyi not sense it? So he slowly poured water into the pot, then started a fire to boil the water. Then he fried two eggs in another pot and set them aside.
After the water boils, I put a little lard in the pot, then added the noodles. Once the noodles were cooked through and no longer had a white center, I took them out and put them in a bowl.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng's eyes shone even brighter. She wished time could stand still at this moment so that she could capture the beautiful scene of Gu Beiyi cooking with her pen and preserve it forever.
Gu Beiyi received Rong Sheng's intense gaze, and a wicked smile slowly appeared on his lips, a satisfied glint in his dark eyes.
But his hands didn't stop there. He put an appropriate amount of soy sauce, rice vinegar, chopped green onions, and chili sauce into the bowl, then poured in some noodle soup, and finally placed the fried egg on top of the noodles. A simple bowl of egg noodles was ready.
"Sheng Sheng, have you been waiting long? Come and have some noodles? How about trying my cooking?" Gu Beiyi asked expectantly.
Rong Sheng watched as Gu Beiyi walked towards her with a bowl of egg noodles. She blinked. Should she get angry or take the noodles and eat them?
Forget it, I'll just have to succumb to the delicious food! She was starving.
So Rong Sheng took the egg noodles that Gu Beiyi had made, stirred them slightly, and put them in her mouth.
Suddenly, Rong Sheng's eyes lit up. Gu Beiyi's cooking skills were really good. It seemed that the food this morning and at noon was indeed made by Gu Beiyi himself, and the taste was exactly the same.
The steps for making egg noodles are so simple, seemingly requiring no skill at all, so why does Gu Beiyi make them so delicious?
Rong Sheng thought this, but her mouth didn't stop. She ate in big mouthfuls, looking very satisfied.
Seeing Rong Sheng's satisfied expression filled Gu Beiyi with sweetness, especially after she finished drinking all the noodle soup, which made him even happier.
"I'm going home!" Rong Sheng put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to Gu Beiyi.
Gu Beiyi smiled and said, "After eating my cooking, you have nothing to say?"
"What are you talking about? What's there to say? Haven't you been taking care of all my meals?" Rong Sheng asked knowingly.
Gu Beiyi: "I thought you were going to compliment me!"
"Do I need praise?" Rong Sheng said, then strode out of the kitchen.
Indeed, it's unnecessary; Rong Sheng's actions have already explained everything.
So Gu Beiyi quickly caught up and took Rong Sheng home. But before going home, Rong Sheng insisted on going back to Huimin Medical Clinic to check on the surgical patients and make sure they were recovering very well before she could feel at ease.
Gu Beiyi couldn't dissuade Rong Sheng, so he had to go along with her wishes and let her go back to Huimin Medical Clinic for a look. He found that Shu Qingyan hadn't left and was sleeping in the ward, while the patients' family members were all sleeping soundly. The surgical patients were also sleeping well, and no accidents had occurred, which relieved Rong Sheng. She then went home with Gu Beiyi to rest.
Rong Sheng had already gone home, and Gu Beiyi could have left as well, but he didn't. He followed Rong Sheng into her room.
Rong Sheng: "Gu Beiyi, what are you doing coming in here? This is my room. It's getting late, you should go back and rest! Don't stay here, it wouldn't be good if my third brother found out."
Gu Beiyi raised an eyebrow: "What are you afraid of? This isn't the first time. I came to find you in the middle of the night last night and wanted to sleep with you, but you were sleeping too soundly to notice!"
Rong Sheng: "...You sneaked in to sleep with me?"
"So tonight, I'm going to sleep with you!" Gu Beiyi said domineeringly, brooking no refusal.
"How can you do that? Gu Beiyi, you have to leave!"
However, Gu Beiyi completely ignored Rong Sheng. Instead, in front of Rong Sheng, he took off his outer clothes and put them on a clothes rack, then walked towards Rong Sheng's bed.
Rong Sheng was startled. Although she enjoyed being with Gu Beiyi and wanted to develop a relationship with him, sleeping in the same bed now seemed a bit too... hasty.
