Chapter 25 Take Your Time
"Madam? Let me help you take a bath." Gu Zengxing stepped forward, and Zhenhe quickly stepped back. "Ah?! This... no need, I can do it myself."
"Then why don't you change your dirty clothes and I'll wash them for you?"
Although the "washing machine" is very old, it is a double-tub type, and at least it can be used.
Gu Zengxing complained in his heart: Aren't we supposed to sleep together? Why are you so alert?
"I'll help you take it down."
Zhenhe: ...Why does this bastard always take off her clothes?
The atmosphere was a bit strange. Gu Zengxing took a step back to make room for Jianhe. "Then I'll go downstairs and get you some water. You must be thirsty, right?"
"Okay!" Zhenhe's eyes lit up. She would definitely take a bath and make the bed on the floor before this guy came back.
Gu Zengxing went downstairs and found the living room empty.
Listening to the noise outside, Song Qianye leaned against the bedroom door with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Although the two things he was most looking forward to had made progress, he was not as happy as he had imagined.
Is it because she has changed? What happened in this year?
After pouring the water, Gu Zengxing wanted to cut a fruit plate and put it on, but he didn't know that this family was really poor. There were only a few pieces of meat that was about to go bad and stir-fried vegetables in the refrigerator.
"Dongdong~"
"Madam, I'm coming in"
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Hearing the panicked voice of a female from inside, Gu Zengxing gripped the door handle tightly.
Unable to get her permission for a long time, Gu Zengxing took out the hallucinogen.
“Crack!”
"Come in!"
The woman opened the door and the fresh scent of soapberries hit her face.
She had changed her clothes and her hair was wrapped in a towel.
Gu Zengxing was stunned. "Have you finished taking a shower?"
"Yeah! Is it faster? I even made your bed! Ding ding ding ding!"
The female turned sideways, showing off her achievements.
Seeing the corner of Gu Zengxing's mouth twitch, Zhenhe thought he was dissatisfied, "You sleep on the bed, I can sleep on the floor."
She said she wanted to sleep with him, is this what she meant? Gu Zengxing held his forehead, "Madam, we are husband and wife"
"Husband and wife... don't necessarily have to sleep together." Zhi He took the water cup from his hand and said, "Let's take it slow."
The collar of her pajamas was a bit large, so Gu Zengxing could not help but see the view of her chest and the purple marks.
"Does it hurt?"
"Hmm?" Zhenhe was a little confused by the question.
"Here." Following the direction of Gu Zengxing's finger, Zhihe immediately straightened her clothes and asked, "Where are you looking?"
"Do you need to apply medicine?" The man frowned slightly, as if he really cared about her.
Zhihe felt a little uncomfortable, "No need, it will be fine in a few days."
"Also, don't call me Mistress, call me Zhihe."
"Zhenhe?" His voice was soft.
Zhenhe thought, this is the sweet girl among men. Qi Yue is also a sweet girl, but Qi Yue is fruit candy and Gu Zengxing is White Rabbit.
"Well, please choose quickly. Do you want to sleep on the bed or..."
"I sleep on the floor"
"good"
After making the beds, Gu Zengxing went into the bathroom to take a shower. Jianhe listened to the sound of water, her heart pounding.
She regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have let Song Qianye come.
But now, it seems there is no choice.
Gu Zengxing took a bath for a long time, so long that Jianhe fell asleep before he came out.
Seeing the female with her back to him, Gu Zengxing called her gently a few times.
"Asleep?"
Zhenhe, who originally wanted to respond to him, did not move after hearing this.
"Beep...beep...beep" a faint mechanical sound was heard. Gu Zengxing turned on the light brain and sent a message to CI - Old Gu, this is Shangguan Jianhe's data, thank you for your help.
After transmitting the data, Gu Zengxing stared at her for a long time.
"Snap" the lights went out, a rustling sound was heard, and then Jianhe opened his eyes.
Phew~ That was a close call, I almost thought I was discovered.
"Are you awake?"
Gu Zengxing suddenly spoke, which scared Jianhe a lot.
"Hmm~" Qianhe responded vaguely.
Gu Zengxing turned sideways and stared at her fat silhouette through the moonlight.
"Why did you choose that path today? Aren't you afraid?"
In fact, even if Jianhe didn't get first place, Gu Zengxing would find other ways to get back to her.
This game is her punishment.
"Scared? Of course I'm scared~ But there's nothing I can do."
"It would be fine if you didn't want me?"
"Don't want you? How could I not want you?" The mission has to be completed, Zhenhe thought sadly.
But Gu Zengxing misunderstood.
[Ding! Gu Zengxing's favorability has increased. Current favorability is -450.]
Huh? Qian He raised an eyebrow. Is this little white rabbit so easy to coax?
The air fell into silence again. Gu Zengxing folded his hands behind his head. The hard bed and the musty bedding were all terrible, but the effect was good.
She said, how could she not want him.
The two people upstairs were sleeping soundly, while the two people downstairs were tossing and turning.
Song Qianye kept his ears perked up to listen to the movement upstairs. As soon as Jian Hejian made a sound, he would rush up immediately. This was his quality as a bodyguard.
Qi Yue was thinking about how to find an orc with SSS+ healing ability, how to get that orc to help him, and what he could offer in exchange...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have completed the mission of spending last night with Gu Zengxing. You will be rewarded with a purifier.]
The system prompt sounded, and Zhenhe opened his eyes. The floor mat had been cleaned up.
"Where's Gu Zengxing?"
[Making breakfast downstairs]
This is too diligent. Zhenhe got up, washed, and went downstairs to find the three men sitting neatly on the chairs.
Gu Zengxing eagerly placed the pancakes he had just learned to bake in front of Jianhe and said, "Have a try!"
"You did it?"
"Yeah!" Gu Zengxing puffed out his chest. Jianhe looked at Song Qianye, and Song Qianye immediately lowered his head. Was this the technique he taught her?
Zhenhe picked up a piece and tasted it, and his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?!" Is this delicious? Or not? Gu Zengxing tilted his head.
Qi Yue had already understood Zhenhe's expression and silently put down the cake in his hand.
Seeing this, Song Qianye took a bite and said, "Pah! Gu Zengxing, what did you put in there?!"
"That's the salt and vegetables you mentioned~"
“How many spoonfuls of salt did you put in?”
"There are four of us, four spoons of flour and four spoons of salt."
Everyone was silent.
Zhenhe really wanted to tell him, "Young Master, if you can't cook, don't force yourself. Look at Qi Yue, it's a virtue for him to just eat and not get involved."
"Is it so unpalatable?" Gu Zengxing, who has always been a model student, picked up the pancake he made and took a big bite.
It was salty, so salty that his whole body was shaking. Not only was it salty, it was also dry.
He actually wanted to pretend that it was okay and swallow it, but he couldn't swallow it at all.
Zhenhe silently poured him a glass of water and said, "Go ahead and vomit."
As a nobleman with excellent dining etiquette, Gu Zengxing could not spit out what he had already eaten. He clenched his fists and swallowed it.
Qi Yue: ...
Ash: ...
Song Qianye: ...
Can such a person really manage CI?
His mouth was full of salty and bitter taste. Gu Zengxing drank a lot of water until his lower abdomen was slightly bloated, and then he felt better.
