"Drunken promiscuity..." Zheng Dan was speechless for a moment. Why was this guy acting so unpredictably? Other men in this situation would try their best to be gentlemen and benevolent, afraid of being the slightest bit abrupt, but this guy seemed to want others to know that he was a womanizer.
However, she reacted quickly, a smile appearing on her face: "A gentleman like my teacher is naturally different from ordinary men, not to mention that he saved my life. How could I think of my teacher like that?"
She herself felt a little nauseous at those words; no matter how you looked at him, he was nothing like a gentleman.
"Oh, so I didn't even know I had such a noble and righteous side." Zu'an touched his cheek, clearly very pleased with her words.
"I'd like to raise a glass to you, teacher, to thank you for saving my life." Zheng Dan raised her glass, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.
Zu An looked at the wine glass in front of him and hesitated. According to his sister-in-law, the Sang family and the Chu family were naturally at odds, and the Zheng family was related to the Sang family by marriage, so they were obviously on the same side as the Sang family.
The reason Zheng Dan came to find him was somewhat intriguing. Although he was somewhat narcissistic, he wasn't so narcissistic as to be foolish.
"You didn't poison this drink, did you?" Having been targeted for assassination several times since arriving in this world, he had become extremely cautious, so he simply asked directly. After all, that was how Zaun's character was, so he wasn't afraid of being abrupt.
Zheng Dan smiled and said, "Teacher, you're joking. You're a teacher at the academy and also my savior. How could I possibly poison you? If you're still worried, I'll take a sip first."
After saying that, he picked up his cup, took a small sip to show that it was not poisoned, and then returned it to him.
Seeing the faint lip print on the wine glass, Zu An narrowed his eyes. This girl was giving all sorts of intentional and unintentional hints; this was definitely a honey trap.
But what exactly is her purpose? Does she want to find out some information about the Chu family from me? Or is it because I am Chu Chuyan's husband, and she wants to gain a sense of superiority over Chu Chuyan from me?
After thinking for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that it must be because I am too handsome and dashing, and she must be lusting after my body. Yes, that must be it.
Zu An raised his glass with a smile: "Miss Zheng is joking. How could I suspect you of poisoning me? Come, come, let's drink!"
Zheng Dan rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that she didn't know who had said that, but the shamelessness of this guy was truly astonishing.
Zuan followed her lead and ate whatever she picked up, but as soon as he tasted it, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Zheng's cooking is amazing! I've never eaten anything so delicious before."
Let alone this world, even in the previous world, he had never tasted such good cooking. Although the previous world had a rich variety of delicacies, what good food could a keyboard warrior like him possibly have?
Zheng Dan couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Teacher, you are too modest. How can my skills compare to Miss Chu's?"
Even though she knew she was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between the two of them, Zu'an still snorted angrily, "Her? What kind of cooking could she possibly do?"
Even if she knew how, she would never make it for me. She always looks at me like I'm a stranger; I don't know why she married me.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zu An picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing his expression, Zheng Dan's lips curled up slightly. She didn't mind putting more pressure on Chu Chuyan. Hmph, just because she's the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, why does she always have the right to be superior to me?
"With such culinary skills, Miss Zheng, whoever marries you will be truly blessed," Zu An exclaimed sincerely.
Zheng Dan smiled and said, "If you like it, teacher, I'll cook it for you every day from now on."
Zuan was taken aback. The implication was getting clearer and clearer. This woman was a master of flirting, always able to make men's hearts flutter.
“We can’t cook like this forever, General Sang will probably get jealous later,” Zu’an replied.
Zheng Dan nodded and said, "It will indeed be inconvenient after we get married. You can come to our house often. With your knowledge, I'm sure Sang Qian will become good friends with you."
Zu An secretly marveled at her skill. Despite the woman's various hints and provocations from beginning to end, she hadn't crossed any lines. This time, by deliberately mentioning the Sang family's marriage agreement, she appeared even more like a gentle and virtuous woman, which only fueled the man's desire to conquer her.
Zheng Dan knew when to stop and didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer, so she quickly said, "By the way, teacher, there's one of those questions you made a bet with Teacher Yang that I still don't quite understand. Could you explain it to me?"
"Explain the problem to you?" Zu An's expression immediately became extremely strange. A lone man and a beautiful female student coming to a teacher's house for tutoring—it was a bit like those adult films he had watched in his past life.
"I know it's a bit abrupt, but I enjoy arithmetic, and I tend to dwell on problems I don't understand, so I can only trouble you, teacher." Zheng Dan opened her beautiful big eyes, her gaze as innocent and delicate as could be.
Is your hobby a math quiz? I'm almost embarrassed to point it out.
Despite his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), Zu'an still asked in a rather friendly manner, "Which question don't you understand?"
"It's about that red-eyed and blue-eyed question. Why did that tourist say that the five red-eyed people would commit suicide on the fifth day?" Zheng Dan asked.
Zuan explained, "You can use inductive reasoning to solve this kind of problem. Try it day by day. If there is only one red eye, that red eye will commit suicide on the first night after confirming that it is the only red eye. It's very simple."
