Instead of letting my mind wander here.
Huang Zhixiong brought in the menu right after I washed my face.
Someone ordered cicadas and green-headed mushrooms.
Just as Huang Zhixiong was about to say something, Gu Chenxi turned around and went to teach Zhang Dahua how to cook mushrooms.
After the first wave of customers arrived, more and more people gradually came to eat.
Huang Zhixiong found even less opportunity to speak with Gu Chenxi.
Huang Zhixiong thought he would apologize to Gu Chenxi after he finished his work at noon.
However, it's unclear whether Gu Chenxi intentionally avoided talking to Huang Zhixiong.
After finishing her lunch break, Gu Chenxi went back to her rest room to sleep.
It wasn't until the evening that Huang Zhixiong finally found an opportunity to apologize to Gu Chenxi.
There was only one table of customers left in the restaurant, and the cleaning was almost finished.
Everyone sat by the counter resting, waiting for the last table of customers to finish their meal before closing up shop.
“Chenxi, I have something to tell you,” Huang Zhixiong said, mustering his courage.
Huang Zhixiong knew that Gu Chenxi had only come today to teach Zhang Dahua how to cook mushrooms, and would definitely not come again tomorrow.
If I don't apologize today, I don't know when I'll have another chance to say it.
Gu Chenxi glanced at Aunt Dazhu and Tiedan's mother beside her. They all pretended not to hear what Huang Zhixiong said, turning their heads to the side as if looking out the door.
Gu Chenxi looked at Huang Zhixiong again, and finally nodded.
He was the first to stand up and walk towards the backyard.
With no one in the backyard at this time, it would be easier for Huang Zhixiong to say whatever he wanted.
Seeing Gu Chenxi get up, Huang Zhixiong also quickly stood up and followed her to the backyard.
"Dazhu's wife, do you think these two are about to get married?" Tiedan's mother whispered, watching the two of them walk away.
The two were busy in the backyard and had no idea what had happened during the incident that Wu Laosi had just caused.
Aunt Dazhu nodded and lowered her voice, saying, "I think Chenxi might not be willing."
The two of them kept their voices down during their conversation.
But it happened to fall right into the ears of Gu Yun Chu, who was doing the accounting.
He also looked thoughtfully towards the backyard; Huang Zhixiong was indeed a good kid.
Gu Chenxi is also very efficient at work and cooks delicious meals.
Gu Lili had mentioned to Gu Yun Chu before that she was planning to open another branch.
If the two of them really get together, wouldn't that be perfect!
Just like him and Zhang Dahua, Gu Chenxi will be the head chef in the kitchen, and Huang Zhixiong will be the manager!
Thinking this through, Gu Yun Chu immediately decided to bring it up with her sister when she got home that evening.
Gu Chenxi walked to the backyard and went straight to the pavilion in the middle to sit down.
Huang Zhixiong followed, but instead of sitting down, he stood nervously opposite Gu Chenxi.
Gu Chenxi remained silent, waiting for Huang Zhixiong to speak.
I've been thinking about apologizing to Gu Chenxi all day, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity.
But when he actually faced Gu Chenxi, Huang Zhixiong's usually eloquent mouth seemed to be tied in a knot, and he couldn't utter a word.
After pondering for a long time, Huang Zhixiong cautiously spoke, "Chenxi, I was wrong about what happened today. I was too presumptuous. I shouldn't have worried about things I didn't know. I'm really sorry!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Gu Chenxi.
Gu Chenxi's face showed no emotion, and she did not answer immediately.
Just when Huang Zhixiong thought he wouldn't get a response from Gu Chenxi, Gu Chenxi slowly spoke.
"Never mind, ignorance is no excuse. I know you meant well."
In fact, Gu Chenxi was no longer angry with Huang Zhixiong. Anyone in that situation would first think of being a peacemaker.
Moreover, when Wu Laosi was barking, Huang Zhixiong immediately came to Gu Chenxi's side to stop him.
He was afraid that Gu Chenxi would get hurt.
This shows that Huang Zhixiong is not a bad person.
Moreover, after Huang Zhixiong found out what was going on, he personally chased Wu Laosi out.
Upon hearing that Gu Chenxi had forgiven him, Huang Zhixiong's previously low spirits instantly lifted.
Huang Zhixiong laughed and said, "Chenxi, if that old bastard comes to bully you again, I'll be the first to stand up and deal with him. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on!"
As Huang Zhixiong spoke, his face unconsciously turned red.
Gu Chenxi looked up at Huang Zhixiong intently, and she saw in his eyes the same way Han Mingyue looked at Gu Lili.
That's exactly the same.
Gu Chenxi understood that it was admiration.
Remembering what Gu Lili had said to Han Mingyue that day, Gu Chenxi decided to respond to Huang Zhixiong directly.
"Zhixiong, I know you want to be good to me, but I don't need it. I'm going to serve this girl for the rest of my life, so... this is the end of it."
Hesitation will inevitably lead to chaos.
Gu Chenxi felt that someone like Huang Zhixiong should find someone better to match him.
At this moment, Gu Chenxi was completely unaware that she had become so self-conscious that she felt utterly worthless.
She felt that she had almost been sold to a brothel by Wu Laosi and was no longer worthy of anyone.
Huang Zhixiong, who had been smiling, froze when he heard Gu Chenxi say that.
She hadn't expected Gu Chenxi to guess her thoughts, and she certainly hadn't expected Gu Chenxi to reject her in public.
Now that everything was out in the open, Huang Zhixiong decided to stop hiding anything.
He looked at Gu Chenxi seriously and said, "Chenxi, I do like you, but don't reject me so decisively. I don't need you to respond to me. I will slowly make you accept me!"
He can wait until Gu Chenxi falls in love with him.
Huang Zhixiong is willing to wait however long it takes.
Gu Chenxi shook her head and said, "You don't need to do this. I have said what I needed to say today. I hope you will take care of yourself."
Gu Chenxi already has someone in her heart, and there's no way she can accept anyone else.
After Gu Chenxi finished speaking, she returned to the front hall.
Just then, the last table of guests in the front hall had finished their meal.
After tidying up, the group locked the door and headed towards Gu Village.
The mushrooms that the cicadas brought today have already sold out, so I need to go home and cook some more cicadas.
I wonder if Gu Lili went up the mountain to pick mushrooms today. If not, we'll have to ask them to pick some tomorrow.
Gu Lili also had a very exciting day.
She had anticipated that the mushrooms would sell out, so after collecting pork fat and having breakfast, Gu Lili took Chang'an and Li Ershu up the mountain.
Li Tiansheng was left behind by Gu Lili to watch over the soap-making workers with Old Mrs. Li.
Yesterday, Lin Xiyao was still insisting that she wanted to go up the mountain with Gu Lili again today.
I was probably too tired from playing yesterday, and my whole body ached, so I didn't come to Gu Lili's house.
This was a message relayed by Huang Ying when she brought her fellow embroiderers from her hometown to Gu Lili's house.
"Did Yao Yao really say that?" Gu Lili couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
