Zheng Qiu watched as Lu Zheng fed Gu Xin two bowls of sweet fermented rice balls and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This unmarried young couple was so clingy; she felt uncomfortable standing next to them!
Finally, the noodles were served, and Gu Xin started cooking herself.
"Miss Gu, aren't you afraid of getting indigestion from eating so much?" After chatting for so long, Zheng Qiu finally had a question to ask; she couldn't help but ask.
Seriously, this little girl looks tall, but she's not fat at all. She can eat so much. She's the girl I've ever seen who can eat the most, besides herself.
"Don't worry! I'll practice a sword routine when we get back, and that'll be enough to digest this. Besides, I'm still growing, so I need to eat more." Gu Xin explained, looking up before continuing to eat.
Zheng Qiu smiled. What a genuine girl.
Zheng Qiu had already finished her two bowls of noodles. She waited for Gu Xin and Lu Zheng to finish eating before she got up to say goodbye to them.
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin walked home.
"Haha, Yuanyuan, didn't you see? He kept glancing at you, probably thinking, 'I'm staring at her so intently, how come you're not angry at all!'" Gu Xin found Zheng Qiu's awkward expression earlier amusing.
Since you're dressed as a man, I can't just expose you like this!
"You!" Lu Zheng smiled helplessly.
"Brother Yuanyuan, do you think Lord Qin will yell at me tomorrow? The Emperor said he's quite fierce, and that I even dared to curse him—the kind of person who's not afraid of being beheaded," Gu Xin asked again.
“Xin Xin is so cute, why would he yell at you? Besides, didn’t I just tell you? He’s not the kind of person who loses his temper easily. He’s genuinely fair and objective. If you don’t do anything wrong, he won’t yell at you. Of course, if you do something wrong…” Lu Zheng recalled Lord Qin’s tone of voice when he was scolding.
It's the kind of voice that's not loud, but it sounds really unpleasant and angry, and when combined with his expression, it makes him seem very fierce.
Moreover, Lord Qin never uses profanity when he curses.
“If you say something wrong, you’ll get a lot of flak, right?” Gu Xin finished speaking for Lu Zheng.
“Yes.” Lu Zheng nodded, then said, “However, when you go to the scene tomorrow, Lord Qin will definitely not go with you. He will probably send someone with you.”
"They're not going to be with me, but rather to monitor me and keep an eye on me so I don't touch anything without permission," Gu Xin said, quite self-aware.
She knew she wasn't being silly, but others certainly didn't!
Let her keep watching; she didn't go on a whim.
Upon arriving at the Gu family's gate, Lu Zheng didn't follow them inside. He patted Gu Xin's head and said, "Don't be polite when you see Lu Ni in the future. Treat her however you want. If she speaks rudely to you, you can take action if you find it too troublesome to talk. Of course, if you find even taking action too troublesome, just tell me."
"No trouble at all, not at all." Gu Xin shook her head. "I just love seeing that look on her face—she clearly wants to kill me, but she's helpless. Hehehe..."
"Okay, as long as you like it." Lu Zheng ruffled Gu Xin's hair. "Lu Ni is cunning. Don't try to reason with her, or you'll get taken advantage of."
"Yes, I know." Gu Xin nodded. "Brother Yuanyuan, you should go back now, it's getting late. I'll come find you after you finish your work tomorrow! We'll go eat sweet fermented rice balls later, and invite Young Master Zheng along!"
