Chapter 21: Movie King vs. CEO (21)
His eyes rolled around and a good idea came to his mind.
Next, he quickly picked up all the ingredients for him and Gu Liangchen and ran into the house.
"Hey, you're back?"
The director sat on the sofa, looked at him and greeted him.
"Um."
Xu Jinxiao said perfunctorily and quickened his pace as he walked into the kitchen. He was almost exhausted by such a large pile of ingredients.
Gu Liangchen walked in and looked at the ingredients all over the floor. He pursed his lips.
Thinking about the meal Xu Jinxiao cooked last night and how he didn’t even wash the dishes, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I'll cook tonight."
Hearing his words, Xu Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, looked up, and didn't expect that Gu Liangchen could actually cook.
Gu Liangchen was standing with the light behind him, and the shadows were cast on the side of his face. One could clearly see the floating dust in the air and the fine hairs on his face, giving a sense of chaos as if time and space were stagnating.
He looked at her for a few seconds, secretly admiring her beauty, and finally shook his head, saying worriedly:
"Let me do it. It would be bad if I burn you."
"It's okay. I can do it."
Gu Liangchen insisted.
Xu Jinxiao hesitated for a moment. The wife he had finally found must be pampered.
Then he thought again that Gu Liangchen might find cooking difficult and the environment bad, so he gave up, and then he could naturally take over.
"Oh well."
He seemed to agree.
On the other side, the male and female protagonists walked into the house and closed the door. Fan Siling looked worried and panicked.
"What should I do? It seems that Patriarch Gu has new thoughts about me?"
Lu Yuquan looked at her pale face distressedly and held her hand firmly, "Lingling, don't panic, I will definitely protect you."
Fan Siling was deeply moved and looked back at him with emotion, "Yu Quan, you are so kind."
Lu Yuquan gently stroked her little hand twice and comforted her softly, "Lingling, don't worry too much. He doesn't necessarily have feelings for you. He might just be giving us water out of courtesy."
Fan Siling gritted her teeth and frowned slightly, "Well, I hope so. I hope he really didn't mean it."
Lu Yuquan nodded and touched the back of her hand soothingly, dispelling her panic and bringing peace.
[I have to say, they really do look like a pair of star-crossed lovers on the run...]
[However, they were really overthinking it. Now that Patriarch Gu had secured his permission to cook tonight, and he looked so affectionate, it seemed that his action was indeed unintentional.]
[Yes, I was wondering how the Gu family master could possibly have two relationships at once!]
Who said that Mr. Xu couldn't win over Patriarch Gu? That was slapped in the face, right? Hilarious!
[Our actor Xu is so awesome, okay? The kind that even the three Gu family heads could have won~]
At this time, on the other side, Xu Jinxiao and the other person were staring at each other with eyes wide open. Xu Jinxiao felt... there seemed to be a hint of awkwardness in the air.
Looking at the sunset behind Gu Liangchen, he suddenly realized that his idea had not yet been implemented!
He stood up suddenly. He didn't realize that he had been squatting for too long and didn't notice that his legs were numb. The blood supply to his brain was also a little insufficient. His vision blurred for a moment, and his body became unstable and he fell to one side.
At the critical moment, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and supported his body that was about to fall.
Xu Jinxiao put his hand on the man's shoulder and leaned half of his body on Gu Liangchen.
At this moment, the distance between the two was very close, their noses almost touched, and their breaths were intertwined.
There was still panic in Xu Jinxiao's eyes. She stared at Gu Liangchen with her eyes wide open, stunned and standing there for a long time.
Gu Liangchen's fresh breath kept coming into his nose, and he reacted with a start.
His face immediately turned red, his handsome face was covered with blush, even his ears were dyed pink, and he was almost steaming out of his head.
He quickly distanced himself from Gu Liangchen, his hands unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes. He was too shy to look at the man, but he kept thanking him.
"Well, Patriarch Gu, thank you."
After saying that, he ran out quickly without waiting for Gu Liangchen to reply.
Gu Liangchen wasn't in much better shape either, his face flushed like the setting sun outside the window, but a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
[Exciting! They just hugged each other!!!]
[Tomorrow's headlines are here again! ]
[Aaaaaaaa! I really love their intimate interactions.]
[metoo, I hope the production team will show me more, don’t be ungrateful! ]
The director saw Xu Jinxiao running out with his hands covering his face. He suddenly opened the door and then slammed it shut.
He was completely bewildered and his eyes were full of doubt.
I haven't watched the live broadcast for a while, how come it turned out like this?
After thinking about it, his eyes gradually became serious. He had to keep an eye on his guests, otherwise if something happened, he would not know about it, which would be too bad.
His men took action and called up the live broadcast just now.
After reading...
He had a smile on his face that looked like an auntie's and couldn't stop.
Soon the others came back one after another, and the director greeted them one by one.
As a director, I have to have a good relationship with the guests.
Xu Jinxiao sat in the house. The heat on his face had dissipated and his mind gradually recovered.
Looking at the little sunset left outside the window, he slapped his forehead in frustration. He had originally wanted to drag Gu Liangchen to watch the sunset, but it seems he can only go tomorrow.
But as long as I can watch it with my wife, it’s sweet no matter when!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile sweetly, his expectant eyes sparkling in the sunset.
He opened the door and walked out, ready to see if his wife had given up so that he could take over and continue cooking.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into the kitchen, the aroma of food wafted into his nose. The aroma was so strong and refreshing that it aroused his appetite.
Following the aroma of food, I came to the kitchen door and looked inside. Gu Liangchen was putting a pot of fried vegetables on a plate, and there were two plates of vegetables placed next to it.
Xu Jinxiao opened his eyes wide and looked at it, exclaiming in his heart and the system:
[I blanch! My wife really knows how to cook, and it smells so good, slurp]
[Hmm~ I saw it. The wives assigned to our quick-wear group are pretty good, aren't they?]
【It’s really good. I’m very satisfied! 】
【Hehehe】
[Ah! Yesterday's cooking skills were wasted, my points! Aaaaaa!]
【……】
The director saw Xu Jinxiao leaning against the wall looking at the kitchen like a thief, and asked in confusion, "Teacher Xu, what are you doing there? Come and sit down."
Xu Jinxiao was startled and immediately stood up. He turned around pretending to be calm and walked towards the table.
"Just take a look, here I come."
"Do you have any more peaches?"
"eat!"
Xu Jinxiao sat down and picked up a peach and started to bite it, making a "crunching" sound to cover up the embarrassment just now.
The director didn't pay any attention to his strange behavior and just drank his tea and read the book in his hand.
"Director, what book are you reading?"
Xu Jinxiao's eyes naturally fell on the book in his hand. He stretched his neck and leaned forward to see the title clearly.
"You don't understand, eat your peach."
The director showed him the title of the book and then continued reading it himself.
Xu Jinxiao saw the title of the book clearly and found that he could not understand it. It was the "Book of Changes". It was normal that he could not understand it, right?
Looking around, I saw Han Miao and Zhao Yawei still sitting on the sofa. They still hadn't cooked and were eating the fast food they bought.
He frowned and said worriedly, "Teacher Zhao, Teacher Han, try to eat less of these. You can try to cook for yourself."
The two people who were eating cold rice paused, looked at each other, and saw bitterness in each other's eyes.
"Forget it, the two of us really can't cook."
Zhao Yawei waved her hand, signaling him to stop talking.
Xu Jinxiao didn't say anything. She turned to the director and asked, "Director, can you help them cook?"
The director was silent for a few seconds, then finally relaxed and sighed helplessly, "If you want to help, then help."
"good!"
Xu Jinxiao turned to look at the two of them, narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.
"Teacher Zhao and Teacher Han, you can go buy groceries tomorrow. Both Patriarch Gu and I can cook, so I can help you cook~"
Both of them looked at him with touched expressions and nodded repeatedly.
It's not just about being able to eat, there is another reason.
That is Xu Jinxiao’s cooking skills. They had seen it yesterday and were almost drooling. Now they can actually eat it tomorrow. They are so happy.
The two couldn't contain their excitement and clapped their hands together.
My heart was already taking off and I was cheering for joy.
Xu Jinxiao laughed. She didn't expect that just cooking a meal could make them so happy.
After a while, Gu Liangchen came to him with two plates of dishes, and Xu Jinxiao quickly took them.
