Gu En chimed in, "Isn't that right? Xiao Qiu was exhausted today. When I went to find him, he was asleep on the recliner in the yard, and the door wasn't even closed properly. Luckily, I'm not a bad person. What if I had encountered a bad person? Especially a bad person like Qi Moyu from Taizhou, wouldn't Xiao Qiu be finished? He even insisted that he wasn't hungry. If he wasn't hungry, would he have just fallen asleep in the yard?"
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin looked at Gu En speechlessly.
This thought process is just like my uncle's!
Fortunately, I studied under my second uncle (father), otherwise, why would I have participated in the imperial examinations!
Gu En continued, "I was thinking that if I brought him here to eat his fill, we could have a long talk by candlelight, and then we could talk about it later! Although I finally got a day off today and have to study hard afterward, I'll have plenty of time after the provincial and imperial examinations! So, I promised Xiao Qiu that if she comes out to eat with me, I won't have a long talk with her by candlelight!"
Lu Zheng twitched his lips and asked, "Enzi, why do you like to have late-night talks with Xiao Qiu so much? What exactly do you want to talk to Xiao Qiu about? I've never seen you so close to anyone before!"
Zheng Qiu was also puzzled by this!
If it were back in Qi'an Town, Gu En could understand why she was afraid of Qiangzi's head at night, but now that they're back in the capital, with so many people in the Gu family, why does he still insist on looking for her?
Zheng Qiu really didn't understand.
Gu Xin didn't understand either. Although she could tell that Gu En was interested in Zheng Qiu, she didn't expect things to develop so quickly!
He said he wanted to have a long talk with Xiao Qiu by candlelight when he returned to the capital, but he's already here on his third night back?
The three of them looked at Gu En.
But she didn't answer immediately. She ordered the same things as Lu Zheng and Gu Xin from the shopkeeper before saying, "I haven't thought about this question either! I just want to chat with Xiao Qiu, about anything and everything. We can talk about anything, from the most mundane to the most trivial, about my time at the academy, about my travels, and about the cases Xiao Qiu has been involved in. I think we'll have a great conversation."
Zheng Qiu pursed her lips: "No, I don't think it will be good."
Gu En: "Oh, I'll try it next time I have time!"
Zheng Qiu: "Fourth Young Master Gu, don't you really think this is very, very..."
Zheng Qiu couldn't think of any adjectives for a moment.
Gu Xin chimed in, "So greasy!"
Zheng Qiu nodded in agreement, and Lu Zheng smiled.
Gu En felt uncomfortable: "Why are you saying that about me? Xiao Qiu, you're going a bit too far! You used to say that I had no other merits besides my looks. Since looks are a merit, how can you call me greasy?"
Those who are close to the Gu family's children generally know what "greasy" means.
Gu En felt hurt, but he couldn't bring himself to be angry.
He couldn't help but want to find Xiao Qiu!
Is this what greasy is?
Is it wrong for him and Xiao Qiu to want to develop a brotherhood relationship?
Third Sister and Brother Yuan are both really going too far.
Gu Xin sighed: "Sigh, Enzi, many people are good-looking, but their personalities are so greasy! Of course, you're fine when it comes to other things, but when it comes to Xiao Qiu, you're a bit like those lovelorn wives who can't have their lovers. Oh, no, not lovelorn wives, you're like a pampered young lady, and Xiao Qiu is like a poor young man. You pester him relentlessly just because he has a good temper! Isn't that greasy?"
