Spicy strips
He stopped just three steps away from him and suddenly asked, "What are you doing here?"
The person who had been peeping from the corner of the wall suddenly shuddered, stumbled half a step and fell into the flower bed. His body fell uncontrollably, his fingers got caught in the gap of a tree branch, and he let out a sharp cry of pain that shattered the silence in front of the door.
Gu Nan reacted quickly, grabbing his collar and flipping him over. Sure enough, it was Sun Qian.
Sun Qian leaned against the flower bed railing with one hand, panting heavily. When she finally managed to catch her breath, she looked up and saw who it was. Her pupils contracted and her mind went blank for a moment. She unconsciously fell backward again.
Gu Nan chuckled amusedly, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him out.
"Miss Gu... Miss Gu?" He trembled as if he had seen a ghost. Just half a minute ago, he had watched Gu Nan drive away. Now, the dust kicked up by the car was still floating in the air, and she had reappeared behind him. He was filled with horror.
It wasn't even dark yet, and I already saw a ghost.
"Hmm?" Gu Nan narrowed her eyes. "Stealing something."
"Wait a minute," Sun Qian stammered, lying.
Lu Yushi specifically instructed that Gu Nan not to know, so how could he dare to ruin his boss's plans?
"Speak clearly." Gu Nan released her hand, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and slid her scrutinizing gaze from top to bottom.
He had been secretly watching her from the moment she left, and he didn't leave even after she was gone. Sun Qian's lies were too fake.
Sun Qian belatedly realized that since Gu Nan had returned specifically to catch him from behind, she had most likely discovered him hiding in the shadows long ago. He raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat. It seemed that Lu Yushi was right; Gu Nan did indeed have some real skills, and he couldn't underestimate her.
Taking a deep breath silently to calm the embarrassment of being caught: "It's like this, the boss's clothes are with you. I originally wanted to go directly to you to get them, but I was afraid you would misunderstand."
As expected, Gu Nan's expression was complicated, and her gaze towards him changed from questioning to something indescribable.
very good.
"That outfit was custom-made by a tailor when the boss went to Milan, and the material..."
Before he could finish his rambling, Gu Nan laughed angrily: "Is Lu Yushi so desperate for a living? Is he afraid I'll hang his clothes on a salted fish?"
Sun Qian put his hands behind his back, unwilling to answer.
Being stingy is fine, it's better than letting Gu Nan know that Lu Yushi is secretly helping Ji Yuanyu. Qiu Shao hadn't understood before, but now he did. Gu Nan definitely wouldn't stand by and watch Ji Yuanyu be bullied by Master Wan, but if she wanted to help Ji Yuanyu, the best way was to go to Lu Yushi.
It's connected, completely connected.
He looked at Gu Nan, his eyes suddenly filled with pity. The boss was secretly helping her, probably hoping that Gu Nan would take the initiative to beg him. This way, he wouldn't let Master Wan bully Ji Yuanyu and upset Gu Nan, and he could also enjoy Gu Nan's "tender affection" when she asked him for help.
That's amazing, incredibly amazing.
He moved his mouth, unable to understand what had gotten into Su Wanting that made her think the boss was a good person.
He went through all the major families in Beicheng in his mind, and he couldn't even find anyone more ruthless than the boss.
"Look..."
"I'm going to find him."
"Oh, no need, it's too much trouble for you to make the trip." Sun Qian refused on the surface, but in his heart he was even more certain that his guess was correct.
"What, he doesn't have time?"
"Not really." It was just a feigned refusal; the boss might be waiting for Gu Nan to come over, ready to take the opportunity to back down.
Gu Nan: "So, he was just saying he wanted to visit my ex-boyfriend's grave?"
Sun Qian was stunned: "What? Go to whose grave? Whose grave?"
Before she could even think it through, she spoke up to praise Gu Nan, saying, "The boss has just recovered from a fever and may need to rest for a while."
His direct gaze practically screamed, "How good Lu Yushi is to you! Even when he's sick, he still insists on caring for you."
Unfortunately, the person in front of me didn't have the relevant acceptance code in their mind: "What's there to fix? I brought him some supplements."
Sun Qian's gaze shifted downwards, and he saw her pull out brightly colored spicy strips from her pocket.
I rubbed my eyes.
?
Is this appropriate?
"this……"
Are you leaving or not?
"Let's go!" he muttered to himself, thinking that those who liked Gu Nan were in trouble.
A terrible disaster is about to strike!
Back in Chenyue, as he secretly observed Lu Yu, he sighed silently, wondering how such a shrewd person could have fallen for Gu Nan's trick.
On second thought, that doesn't make sense either. Neither of them are good people, so it's perfectly normal for them to be attracted to each other.
He left immediately to make room for the boss.
With a click, the door closed.
The slight noise failed to attract their attention. Lu Yushi remained seated, his gaze sweeping over the spicy strips spread out on the table, their packaging displaying highly saturated colors.
"Supplements?" he asked, his voice low and unreadable.
Gu Nan walked over in a few steps, casually lifted her leg and sat on the corner of the table, her slender legs hanging down, her knees intentionally or unintentionally brushing against Lu Yushi's neatly pressed shirt on the outside of his arm.
Lu Yushi stared intently at her, but she seemed oblivious, continuing to swing her legs.
"Don't you know that eating spicy food makes you sweat? If you have a fever, sweating it out will make you feel better."
After speaking in an innocent and sincere tone, as if afraid Lu Yushi wouldn't believe her, she casually grabbed a spicy snack, tilted her head, and tore open the packaging with her teeth. The sweet and spicy flavor instantly exploded in her mouth. She deliberately chewed exaggeratedly, blinked her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "It tastes good, it really whets the appetite, want to try it?"
Her bright eyes were like scattered starlight, cunning and beautiful.
Lu Yushi's breathing became heavy, his gaze lingering on her lips.
Gu Nan deliberately leaned forward, a mischievous smile hidden in her eyes. Even if Lu Yushi's parents were not valued when he was young, he was still a descendant of the Lu family, and his quality of life was much higher than that of ordinary people. It was rare for him to have the opportunity to taste the snacks from the convenience store.
Such a taste could not possibly be within Lu Yushi's acceptable range. As long as Lu Yushi refuses, she can exaggerate her grievances, and the matter will be settled.
The smile on her face was impossible to hide. She took a moment to praise Sudi in her heart, thinking how wonderful the thank-you gift was!
She was confidently waiting for Lu Yu to refuse when suddenly her vision went dark as a tall figure blocked the light. She was secretly pleased; was he getting tired of the spicy snacks and about to leave?
Her cunning eyes lit up, but before she could react, her wrist was suddenly grabbed with surprising force, yet just enough not to hurt her.
He looked up in surprise, all his expressions frozen on his face.
Lu Yushi stared straight at her, his grip on her hand tightening without a break, pulling her hand upwards until the spicy snack was brought to her lips, then he looked away.
Gu Nan caught her breath and before she could catch her breath, she saw Lu Yushi lower his head slightly and lightly taste the spot where she had bitten her. He dabbed a little chili oil on his lips, held it in his mouth, and slowly wiped the oil off his lips with a tissue, as if he was savoring the taste.
Whether the lingering taste is of spicy strips or something else remains unknown.
He swallowed, his throat bobbing: "It's really good."
Their eyes met, and Gu Nan cursed in her mind at 120 per second.
"What?" Lu Yushi pretended to be confused, calmly observing Gu Nan's ever-changing face.
Gu Nan clenched her fist. If she didn't need Lu Yushi's help right now, she would have punched him. He ate it, and he dared to reminisce about it?
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "It's okay, eat more if it's delicious."
Without a word, she shoved the remaining half-pack of spicy strips into Lu Yushi's hand, shook off his hand, and casually tidied up the spicy strips spread out on the table.
What a joke! She would eat other people's leftovers?
Absolutely impossible!
Lu Yushi glanced at it, then casually placed it on the table.
Gu Nan laughed angrily, "You think I'm dirty, and you want to contaminate my spicy snacks?"
Although she doesn't really like spicy snacks, wasting food is shameful!
And it was also partly her wish.
Lu Yushi took in her reaction and glanced at the half-empty bag of spicy strips on the table. Because it was placed carelessly, the chili oil had already seeped out and stained the table.
He casually looked away and took a step as if to leave.
“Hey,” Gu Nan reached out to pull him, but Lu Yushi’s steps were very long, so he was a beat slower. In her haste, her hand fell into the crook of his arm and slid into his palm.
Both of them were stunned.
Lu Yushi suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around very slowly, and his gaze first fell on the two women's intertwined wrists. Gu Nan's wrist bones were very thin, a lean but powerful look, and the taut lines conveyed a strength he had never seen in any woman before.
After a long while, his gaze, which he had been staring at, began to drift away. He slowly lifted his eyelids, his calm gaze meeting Gu Nan's evasive eyes. His tone was calm, and he asked knowingly, "Is there anything else?"
Gu Nan felt as if she were being pricked by a needle, and tried her best to pull her hand back, but she held back tightly the moment Lu Yushi released his force.
I need to cheer myself up. I should give Lu Yu some benefits first, so that I can ask for help later with a clear conscience.
She cleared her throat, raised her voice to suppress her guilt, and said confidently, "You promised to visit my ex-boyfriend's grave, are you going back on your word?"
Lu Yushi stared at her for a few seconds, the corners of his lips unconsciously turning up. He really did find a grave for her.
Tilting his head slightly, he raised his chin towards the window and asked, "Now?"
Outside the window, dusk gradually devoured all the light on the path.
"Just in case you forget, I'm reminding you."
"Won't."
Lu Yushi smiled enigmatically, his gaze shifting back to the two overlapping wrists before slowly raising his eyes to look at Gu Nan.
The meaning is self-evident: let go.
Gu Nan awkwardly let go.
The next second, Lu Yushi lifted his leg to leave.
Gritting her teeth, Gu Nan rushed to Lu Yushi's side and grabbed his hand again. In order to stop him from leaving, she even spread her five fingers and held his ten fingers together.
I silently vowed to myself, "I'll chop off your hand sooner or later."
Lu Yushi turned around, raised his hand, knowing her purpose, but deliberately pretended to have a question in his eyes.
"Ahem, boyfriend, have you had dinner yet? Want to eat together?"
Lu Yushi: "I've already eaten."
Gu Nan gritted her teeth until her cheeks ached, and she really wanted to curse out loud. Had she never had a girlfriend before? Her girlfriend had given such an obvious hint, and even if she was about to burst from being full, she had to say she hadn't eaten.
She closed her eyes to temporarily remove Lu Yushi from her sight, silently calming herself down, and put on a "sincere" smile: "I haven't eaten yet."
Lu Yushi reached out and opened the door, instructing Sun Qian, "Take her to dinner."
"Not together?" Gu Nan deliberately shook their tightly clasped hands, but it was only her grip that was tight; Lu Yushi couldn't let go.
"I've already eaten."
Sun Qian: ...
Gu Nan: ...
Gu Nan chuckled, swallowing a curse word, and kicked the door shut, slamming Sun Qian's suppressed laughter out of her face.
Lu Yushi looked puzzled.
Gu Nan chuckled: "Suddenly I'm not hungry anymore."
Lu Yushi nodded and continued to grasp the doorknob.
Gu Nan: ?
His temper flared, and he couldn't hold back any longer: "I was fucking seducing you, can't you tell?"
