That evening, Zhou Chu received a private message from his advisor.
This means your suspicion has been cleared, but you should avoid going to the silkworm grove in the future, since that's their territory.
As for the last sentence, it was actually about him persuading Gao Qinyi to apologize to the sericulture instructor.
It seems that even the counselor couldn't persuade Gao Qinyi, so they can only pin their hopes on him.
I received the message around dinnertime.
Gao Qinyi was cooking in the kitchen when he was asked to come out and peel the potatoes.
That's right, Gao Qinyi is going to make beef stew with potatoes tonight.
Gao Qinyi is cutting the thawed beef inside.
After peeling the potatoes, he washed his hands under the tap, then pulled out the cutting board to chop them into small pieces.
"You're so slow! Just cut it for me, you can go back to writing. I'll call you when it's done." Gao Qinyi pushed him out of the kitchen.
"This isn't just about chopping vegetables; more importantly, it's about gathering ingredients!" Zhou Chu grabbed her hand with a serious expression. "You know I write romance novels, right? I need plenty of material. Cooking together now will definitely provide great material!"
"Is it just for research?" Gao Qinyi raised an eyebrow, grabbed Zhou Chu's wrist, and pulled him into her arms.
"What does Sister Qin want to happen next?"
"If we just cook together, I'm afraid that's not enough of a story," Gao Qinyi said, kissing Zhou Chu before he could even react.
After a brief moment of mental blankness, Zhou Chu responded enthusiastically to the past.
But just as he was getting aroused, Gao Qinyi pushed him away.
Although they pushed each other away, a long, spider-like thing was clearly visible across their lips.
"Disgusting!" Gao Qinyi wiped her mouth, her face flushed but she made no attempt to look away. "This is just to fulfill today's quota, you know. Didn't we agree on a daily kissing quota? I don't think I've kissed you yet today..."
"So, let's just have the full amount for today." Zhou Chu said, pulling her close and about to kiss her.
But all I touched was something soft and textured.
Yes, it was her hand.
Her palm was pressed against Zhou Chu's lips, drawing a line between them: "No, only I can kiss you first, you can't kiss me first."
“That’s an unfair contract term,” Zhou Chu said, pursing his lips.
How could he possibly endure such humiliation?
If I accept it now, I'm afraid I'll only be able to passively endure it in the future.
Although he seems to be in a similar situation now...
But people always change, and he also needs to fight for enough power for himself.
“You can take the initiative once a day. Just once, but not now.” Gao Qinyi saw through his thoughts, gently patted his shoulder, and acted like a caring older sister: “I’ve already said I’d see how you perform.”
"Isn't my performance good enough?" Zhou Chu sighed.
For now, initiating a kiss is probably the most power I can fight for.
He knows Gao Qinyi very well; if he pushes her too hard, she might even take back her promise.
Anyway, there's plenty of time, and he and Gao Qinyi are going to spend a very long time together.
If we keep at it little by little, we'll eventually break through her defenses completely.
And who knows, at that time, she might be the one to let down all her defenses.
Then.
Just as Gao Qinyi had predicted, Zhou Chu cut very slowly.
Although I was very serious and my technique was almost there, I was cutting very slowly.
Gao Qinyi was almost unable to bear watching, but she really couldn't go up and tutor him.
After all, this involves using knives; if anything goes wrong, it's all over.
Even though Zhou Chu is taking his time, he's still incredibly handsome. You can easily pass the time by admiring his looks while waiting.
The potato chunks for stewed beef with potatoes should not be cut too small.
If it's too small, although it can absorb a lot of beef broth, the texture isn't good; it doesn't have that super satisfyingly soft and chewy feel when you bite into it.
This is probably due to the difference in cuisines; it's said that some places prefer small and delicate dishes.
Similarly, Gao Qinyi cut the beef into very large chunks.
Then put them all into the pressure cooker.
Many households probably don't have pressure cookers anymore, but this is how you stew beef until it's incredibly tender and delicious.
Add another spice bag and pour in enough water to just cover the ingredients.
The next task is to wait until the beef is cooked and edible.
Gao Qinyi took the apron, and the moment she picked up her phone and saw the message, her expression changed.
Zhou Chu could imagine that her advisor must have also sent her a message.
After all, they sent it to themselves, so how could they not send it to Gao Qinyi, the person involved?
Gao Qinyi only glanced at the message briefly, edited it for ten seconds, and sent it back.
Then he tossed his phone aside.
This made it difficult for Zhou Chu, who really wanted to pretend to ask who sent the message, to speak.
Fortunately, she noticed Zhou Chu's pleading gaze.
With an indifferent expression, he said, "It's nothing, it's just that my advisor asked me to explain, but I refused."
"this……"
"I'm warning you, don't give me any nonsense. I'm standing up for you, and I did the right thing, so why should I apologize?" Gao Qinyi rolled her eyes at him and turned on the TV.
Liancheng's TV channels don't have those miscellaneous channels, especially not the much-criticized Hunan TV.
The biggest reason is that the landing fee couldn't be agreed upon back then.
Fortunately, Zhou Chu was not harmed by some idiotic programs.
Even so, after turning on the TV and searching around, Gao Qinyi didn't find anything good.
After all, satellite TV channels are declining and there aren't many truly high-quality programs anymore.
Therefore, for them, television is largely a form of emotional support.
When turned on, it acts as background noise, making the room feel less lonely.
"Sister Qin, I have to say, you were really amazing today," Zhou Chu said sincerely, sitting on the sofa next to her.
This statement is absolutely from the bottom of my heart.
At the time, he felt as if she was about to rush up and teach that counselor a lesson at any moment.
He's really handsome.
"Isn't it because you're too incompetent?" Gao Qinyi rolled her eyes at him. "You shouldn't have gone! Anything should be resolved on the spot. The mulberry and silkworm farm is their home turf. You'll lose the momentum as soon as you go in!"
Zhou Chu listened, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Although what she said made a lot of sense
But if a peaceful resolution is desired, it will probably require taking another step, with one of them playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Of course, for most couples, the man plays the bad cop and stirs up trouble, while the woman plays the peacemaker.
But it's exactly the opposite for them!
