"Pfft!" Gu En spat out his food. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Third Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Xin looked at Gu En with a smile.
Zheng Qiu calmly explained, "Xin Xin, it's not that Young Master Gu was speechless because he saw me, a handsome young man, but rather that he was speechless and had no way to refute me. It's different from being speechless when seeing a beautiful girl."
Gu En quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Qiu is right."
Zheng Qiu glanced at him speechlessly.
"Oh..." Gu Xin and Lu Zheng, dressed in white, drew out their "oh" sounds. Lu Zheng said, "It's being said in the capital that the Fourth Young Master Gu has inherited the true skills of Master Gu, and his words are the most incisive, leaving others speechless and unable to refute. Xin Xin, could it be that you dressed up as a man and went out pretending to be the Fourth Young Master Gu?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Before Gu Xin could answer, Gu En rushed to answer for her, saying righteously, "Brother Yuan, Third Sister, Bai Yi Bai Er, let me tell you, I wasn't speechless or unable to refute what he said. It's just that Xiao Qiu is your friend, and he's small and weak, so I didn't want to stoop to his level. I was afraid of making him cry. Really. If he were even a little taller, I could definitely leave him speechless."
Gu Xin and the other three: "..."
You've not just inherited the true teachings of Master Gu, you've inherited them from Uncle Gu! Like father, like son.
"Hehe." Zheng Qiu looked at Gu En with a forced smile and said, "Fourth Young Master Gu, yesterday I just said you were an ordinary person, and I even praised you for being tall and handsome. What? Now you're launching a personal attack? I'm weak? Hehe, come on, let me see how you leave me speechless and make me cry. I really want to see it."
Gu En slapped his forehead, feeling a slight headache: "Hey, Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu, don't be like that! Why are you acting like a girl? Let's be more magnanimous, okay? You're my third sister's good friend, so you're my good friend too! Besides, my third sister is getting married soon, so it's not convenient for you to be good friends with her. We're both men, so being good friends is the easiest. We're the same age, don't be angry, let's be good brothers from now on, okay?"
Zheng Qiu said expressionlessly, "This is bad!"
Gu En: "Why?"
Zheng Qiu said seriously, "I look weak, and you say I'm like a woman. I get angry because of what you said, and you say I'm petty like a girl. In your eyes, Fourth Young Master Gu, are women necessarily weak and petty? Are men necessarily strong, mighty, and magnanimous? Fourth Young Master Gu, do you know that you are sexist? You come from the Gu family. Among the four daughters of the Gu family and Princess Lin who is already married, who among the five of them is weak and who is petty?"
Gu Xin interjected, "Yes, yes, yes, Enzi, you're wrong. Who says women have to be petty? In your mind, do you men have to be better than us women at everything? If that's what you think, I'll go back and tell Grandpa and Grandma, and you're finished!"
Gu En covered his head with both hands, feeling that Zheng Qiu was the most difficult man he had ever met. He thought that even when he went out alone to Jiangnan Academy and debated with the students there, he had never been as humiliated as he was today.
Where did this thing come from? Was it specifically sent to bring him bad luck? He's so pitiful! Why would they send someone to his third sister's side only to bring him misfortune?
