Qiu Miao: General Gu! Do you know that you have missed me? (Second update)
Gu Wenye couldn't help laughing when he heard Qiu Yanping frowning and refutation his argument that "it's all fallacy". He shook his head. His Mr. Qiu always misunderstood the key points of his words.
He did not explain anything further. As he walked out side by side with Qiu Yanping, he asked, "Mr. Qiu, you must be hungry, right? I remember there is a snack street in Xingcheng that seems to be very busy. Would you like to try some local snacks, Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Yanping was still hesitating about how to respond to Gu Wenye's half sentence. He had hurriedly replied calmly before, but he hadn't responded to the first half of the confession yet. Qiu Yanping was rubbing his hands nervously, but he was also proud in his heart that General Gu, who was favored by so many people, liked him. That was really an honor. He was wondering whether he should accept or refuse, or be reserved for a while before accepting. Oh, it was really a headache.
However, Gu Wenye did not give him any room to argue and changed the subject with just one sentence, which made Qiu Yanping, who was still a little excited, feel cold all over. He blinked and looked at Gu Wenye, thinking that he might have been wrong, right?
Qiu Yanping's eyebrows were knitted even more tightly, almost twisted into small waves. He pouted, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't say anything weird just now, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Qiu Yanping slumped his shoulders, feeling an indescribable sense of loss.
"Hmm? Mr. Qiu?" After not getting a response for a long time, Gu Wenye turned his head to look at Qiu Yanping in surprise. Usually, when talking about food, Mr. Qiu always responded enthusiastically, so why did he look so uninterested now?
"What?" Qiu Yanping was a little angry and embarrassed about his mistake, and he took his anger out on Gu Wenye. He asked in a bad tone.
Gu Wenye paused, thinking that Qiu Yanping really cared about his masculine charm. He thought, maybe this problem is really serious? He looked serious and started to give Qiu Yanping psychological counseling, "Mr. Qiu is a very charming person. Maybe Mr. Qiu doesn't seem easy to get along with at first glance, but I believe that as long as you get to know Mr. Qiu more, everyone will like him."
"I don't look like someone who is easy to get along with?" Qiu Yanping frowned and looked at Gu Wenye. He repeated it with a stronger tone, "Do you think I'm hard to get along with?"
Gu Wenye didn't know how he felt that Qiu Yanping was difficult to get along with. He shook his head and said, "I was just talking about the impression Mr. Qiu gave to the outside world." He paused for a moment and said, "In my eyes, Mr. Qiu is a very gentle person and easy to get along with."
After hearing this, Qiu Yanping's expression softened a little. Although he felt that he had nothing in common with the word "gentle", since Gu Wenye thought he was gentle, then he would be gentle.
Gu Wenye saw that Qiu Yanping's complexion had improved a little, so he returned to the previous question, "Mr. Qiu, do you want to go to the specialty snack street in Xingcheng and try the local specialty dishes of Xingcheng?"
"There should be a lot of people in the Specialty Snack Street, right?" Qiu Yanping shook his head hesitantly. The Specialty Snack Street was probably as lively as the Chang'an Main Street in Chang'an City. When he thought about the many people gathering around Gu Wenye, he felt unhappy for a moment, and even the delicious food could not attract him.
Gu Wenye realized that the problem seemed to be a bit serious. His Mr. Qiu was not even interested in food! Gu Wenye was a little upset that he had not considered it carefully this time. He forgot that he had just won a victory and would arouse so much admiration and enthusiasm in Earth One. He had been stable for more than a year because of his leg disease, and his fanatical followers had also calmed down a lot. In the past year or so, he got used to the feeling of being low-key, but forgot that now was different from that time.
"Mr. Qiu, please wait for me for a moment." Gu Wenye said, pulling Qiu Yanping under a roof that was sheltered from the sun, and then left in a hurry.
Qiu Yanping was a little slow to react. He saw Gu Wenye step onto the floating boat, and in a few seconds he disappeared from his sight. He twitched his lips, not knowing what Gu Wenye was going to do.
He looked around and saw that this seemed to be an open-air cafe. He ran into the cafe, asked for a glass of water under the waiter's strange gaze, and then stood there licking the water while continuing to wait.
The bitter taste of coffee beans is a real challenge to his taste buds. Qiu Yanping sipped the water intermittently, squinting his eyes to smell the aroma in the air, feeling a little regretful that such fragrant coffee beans could make such a bitter drink.
He once accidentally drank the coffee from Gu Wenye's cup, and it was so bitter that his facial features wrinkled.
Gu Wenye came back soon. He saw Qiu Yanping holding a paper cup with the logo of the coffee shop behind him. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "I remember you said you don't drink coffee."
"So I drank water." Qiu Yanping opened the lid and showed it to Gu Wenye.
Gu Wenye laughed and went to the cafe to buy some water. Perhaps Qiu Yanping was the only customer the waiter had ever received who made such a request.
Qiu Yanping didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach, and he couldn't understand why Gu Wenye laughed. He looked at Gu Wenye and asked, "What were you doing?"
"I bought some stuff." Gu Wenye said. He opened the paper bag and took out a black duckbill cap and a black mask. After he was fully equipped, he looked at Qiu Yanping and said, "No one should recognize me this way. Shall we go to the specialty snack street?"
Gu Wenye was wearing a mask, and his voice sounded a bit buzzing.
Qiu Yanping laughed. The black hat on Gu Wenye's head directly covered the upper half of his face, and even his eyes were not clearly visible. He pulled Gu Wenye's mask down a little, revealing Gu Wenye's mouth and nose, and moved closer and smiled, "You went to buy these two things? Just to go to the snack street? General Gu is very playful."
Gu Wenye didn't expect Qiu Yanping to come so close all of a sudden. General Gu, who had good eyesight, could even see the little hairs on Qiu Yanping's face.
General Gu held his breath subconsciously and felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up and it was about to jump out!
"Don't feel embarrassed if you like to play. I understand." Qiu Yanping patted General Gu's stiff shoulders and grinned. "In that case, let's go there and take a look to satisfy the general's curiosity." As he spoke, he felt very gentle.
He walked to the floating boat that Gu Wenye had rented. Gu Wenye was still standing there and hadn't caught up. He looked back in confusion, climbed up using his hands and feet, sat down, and said, "General Gu, drive the car."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wenye hurried back, coughed lightly, kicked his long legs, and then drove away.
Qiu Yanping was about to remind Gu Wenye to drive slower, but the wind blowing in his face stopped him from saying anything.
The specialty snack street was just as Qiu Yanping had expected, with people coming and going. Gu Wenye wore a duckbill cap and a mask, but no one recognized him as General Gu. However, Gu Wenye's outfit was still very eye-catching in the crowd, attracting many people's vague glances.
After his previous reckless sweep, Qiu Yanping was already able to accept such covert observation. He heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Gu Wenye into the street food stall.
The food in Xingcheng is mainly sweet and fragrant. Just by smelling the sweet aroma in the air, Qiu Yanping felt his appetite open up.
Gu Wenye followed behind Qiu Yanping. Wherever Qiu Yanping liked to eat, he would help pay the bill and take over the food that Qiu Yanping could not hold in both hands.
Qiu Yanping felt a little embarrassed. He slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Gu Wenye, saying, "I'll pay you back when we get back to the general's mansion. Just keep a record of the money first." In the past, when he went out, there were always servants who were responsible for paying for and carrying things. All he had to do was point his fingers a few times. If the servants couldn't carry the things, the worst that could happen was that they would just give the address of the mansion and have someone deliver them directly to the mansion. Therefore, Qiu Yanping never forgot to bring some money with him when he went out.
Of course, Gu Wenye didn't have any cash on him, the funds on his computer were all interoperable, and he could pay by scanning. Qiu Yanping was rich, but he couldn't play with antiques.
Gu Wenye heard what Qiu Yanping said, smiled and nodded, and just asked, "Mr. Qiu, how do you think it tastes?"
"Pretty good." Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the string of golden roasted fish balls in Gu Wenye's hand, and suddenly wanted to eat that again.
He looked at his hands, which were full of snacks, and wanted to exchange with Gu Wenye. Seeing that it was troublesome to exchange, Gu Wenye directly put the fish ball to Qiu Yanping's mouth, "Mr. Qiu, is it more convenient to eat like this?"
Qiu Yanping opened his mouth, took a small fish ball in his mouth, swallowed it, and nodded with a "hmm". He saw that Gu Wenye didn't seem to eat anything along the way, and he took all the food for him, so he said, "General Gu, just eat whatever you want, don't be polite, I'll treat you." As he said this, he took another small fish ball, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, saying, "This string of small fish balls tastes good, the rest is for you, I'll buy two more strings."
Qiu Yanping waved his hand generously, then quickly dived into the crowd and ran to the small stall he had been standing at.
Gu Wenye shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how to pay or buy anything. He had no choice but to follow him. When he got to the stall, he saw Qiu Yanping looking around for someone.
"Mr. Qiu." He called out.
Qiu Yanping's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand quickly, saying, "They said you have to pay first before you fry the fish balls."
Gu Wenye laughed.
