Chapter 297 It’s a Good Deal
As soon as Gu Xizhou said this, the whole hall fell silent.
Su Nanzhi looked at the fish and vegetables in the bowl, her face turning red.
This was not the first time she heard Gu Xizhou say such words.
But every time she heard it, her heart still beat a little.
After all, Gu Xizhou's conditions are really excellent in this era, and she is also a little vain.
She couldn't help but secretly look up and glance at Gu Xizhou. After seeing Gu Xizhou's flushed cheeks, the tension in her heart suddenly disappeared a little.
The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Gu Xizhou dares to say these words, so why doesn't she dare to listen?
She not only listens, she responds.
"Captain Gu, you want a partner for just a few dishes? This deal is really a bargain." Su Nanzhi's lips curled up slightly, with a playful smile in her eyes, "I, Su Nanzhi, am not that easy to pursue."
Gu Xizhou didn't expect Su Nanzhi to react like this. He was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic.
Although they lived under the same roof these days, Su Nanzhi always refused to get close to him except for necessary contact.
This was the first time Su Nanzhi had made a joke, and it gave him hope.
"Then Nanzhi, do you think I need to cook a few dishes to be qualified?" Gu Xizhou's voice was a little tense, and he looked at Su Nanzhi like a hungry wolf seeing food.
Su Nanzhi didn't expect Gu Xizhou to follow her joke and ask her a question. She pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks, "Anyway, a few dishes are not good."
If the ears hadn't turned red again, it would have seemed like that.
Gu Xizhou chuckled and said, "I will definitely work hard."
The two of them lowered their heads and ate dinner without saying a word, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all. Instead, it was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
In such an atmosphere, the two finished their dinner quickly.
"Nanzhi, the empty room in your house needs to be rented out." Gu Xizhou spoke only after seeing Su Nanzhi put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Su Nanzhi nodded, not surprised that Gu Xizhou would say this.
When the people in Baihua Lane suggested that she and Gu Xizhou live in such a big yard, Gu Xizhou pretended to be a rogue and scared them away.
But at that time, Su Nanzhi had already thought about finding a few tenants for the house, but she and Gu Xizhou were busy these days and didn't have time to discuss it in detail.
Su Nanzhi: "Do you have anyone suitable?"
Although she is the homeowner, considering Gu Xizhou's undercover mission, Gu Xizhou's advice is also important.
Gu Xizhou shook his head, "I don't have a suitable candidate."
After hearing this, Su Nanzhi finally realized that Gu Xizhou's current identity was a gangster, and he couldn't know any decent people, and he even had to stay away from decent people.
"Okay, I'll find a suitable tenant before I go to Hongqi County."
Su Nanzhi reacted quickly and arranged what to do tomorrow, then nodded in agreement.
Gu Xizhou didn't expect Su Nanzhi to leave Zhoushan County so soon.
"Is there something wrong at school?"
Although Su Nanzhi did not tell him that she was going to take the college entrance examination, he saw the study materials that Su Nanzhi prepared for the college entrance examination and could roughly guess a little.
In addition, Su Nanzhi also moved her household registration from Hongqi County back to Zhoushan County, and she also went to Zhoushan County No. 2 Middle School today.
"No." Su Nanzhi looked up at him and said hesitantly, "Someone has offended me, and I plan to deal with them."
Gu Xizhou's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "I guessed it."
"Then their character must be bad."
There was surprise in Su Nanzhi's eyes. In fact, she said this more as a test. She wanted to see if Gu Xizhou would stop her from doing "bad things" and whether he would think she was a vicious woman.
But Gu Xizhou just accepted it calmly, and even... smiled?
Su Nanzhi couldn't help but ask, "Who are you going to deal with? How are you going to deal with it if you don't ask me?"
Gu Xizhou saw a hint of nervousness in her eyes and said seriously: "Nanzhi, I know what kind of person you are. You don't need to test me."
At this point he paused, "If others do something wrong, you won't cause trouble for them."
Su Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat and her fingers clenched unconsciously.
After her rebirth, she did a lot of things. Although she didn't think she did anything wrong, she knew that many people said behind her back that she was too extreme and did not show any mercy.
"They are the principal of Hongqi County Middle School and my junior high school teacher." Su Nanzhi didn't know why, but suddenly wanted to talk to them.
Her voice was soft but cold, "They are not good teachers and should not be in school."
Gu Xizhou listened quietly without interrupting her.
"I had a classmate in junior high school who was forced by her homeroom teacher to jump into the river and commit suicide. They all know why." Su Nanzhi raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. "Only her grandparents don't know why their granddaughter would jump into the river, but I know..."
Gu Xizhou looked at her, and suddenly reached out and gently covered her clenched fist.
"It's not your fault." He said firmly, looking at her with eyes full of concern, "You were just a child at that time."
"The ones who are wrong are your junior high school teacher and the principal who helped the evildoers."
Her words were somewhat ambiguous.
But at this moment, Gu Xizhou miraculously knew her self-blame and guilt.
Su Nanzhi took a deep breath and shook her head. "Silence means consent. I am also a bully."
Gu Xizhou was used to seeing Su Nanzhi's happy, angry, and mischievous expressions, but he didn't want to see her self-blaming and painful expression.
He held Su Nanzhi's hand with a little force.
"Su Nanzhi, listen carefully—" Gu Xizhou's voice was low and firm, "Just because you didn't stand up at the time doesn't mean you agree with them. You were just too scared, which is normal."
"Now that you've stood up, even though it's a little late, you have the ability to punish the evildoers, right?"
Su Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled, and the tears in her eyes finally fell out.
"But it's still too late."
Gu Xizhou sighed softly and wiped the tear marks on her cheek with his thumb.
"It's not too late." His voice was soft, but every word was clear. "As long as someone can be saved by this, it's never too late."
Su Nanzhi raised her tearful eyes and looked at him. Gu Xizhou's eyes were focused and gentle, like a lighthouse in the dark night.
She turned her face away in panic, wiping away the tears on her face.
"No matter what, I will make them pay the price."
There was still a hint of warmth on the tip of Gu Xizhou's hand. He watched Su Nanzhi evade and suppressed his reluctance. "No matter what decision you make, I support you."
Su Nanzhi's ears felt hot when she was looked at by Gu Xizhou. She stood up and said, "I decided that you will wash the dishes today."
After saying that, she turned and went into the bedroom.
After closing the door, Su Nanzhi leaned against it, feeling that she could only hear her own heartbeat in the quiet bedroom.
