Back home, Chen Cixiu went to the kitchen to cook, while Jiang Yu hurried back to her study and locked the door. Because of the good soundproofing, she felt completely relaxed after locking the door.
He took out his phone and dialed Gu Qianqian's WeChat video call from the pinned post.
When Gu Qianqian appeared on the screen, Jiang Yu glanced guiltily at the door and said, "Gu Qianqian, could you please stop appearing on my screen naked every time?"
"Sorry, but I like it. I love showing you what it means to be evenly matched." Gu Qianqian proudly pulled the covers over her head, looking fearless. Once she was fully lying down, she asked, "So, what do you want? I need to adjust my sleep schedule today. I'm going to take a beauty nap now."
Jiang Yu sat down, looking embarrassed, as if he found it difficult to speak.
After all, they've been best friends for over twenty years. Gu Qianqian could guess most of what was going on just by looking at her expression. She asked in a teasing tone, "Did Chen Cixiu do something to you? Tell me quickly, so I can be happy too."
"Why is your brain full of useless information?" Jiang Yu said irritably.
Gu Qianqian presented compelling evidence to refute her: "So what? We're all human. Humans have basic needs like food and sex. Besides, you're husband and wife. What do husband and wife talk about if not sex? Brotherhood? Please, that's a decade or more from now."
Jiang Yu was speechless. She had come to seek advice from the strategist today, and when it came to matters of love between men and women, no one around her could compare to Gu Qianqian.
She recounted her grocery shopping experience that day, and finally asked, "What do you think he meant?"
Gu Qianqian was glad she wasn't drinking water, otherwise the whole house would have been sprayed with water.
"So, he not only took the condom, but also put it in your bedside table, and then went straight to cook?" Gu Qianqian repeated, just to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Jiang Yu nodded vigorously.
"I see, this kid is planning to devour you little by little." Gu Qianqian wasn't like Jiang Yu, who had only seen pigs run; she had plenty of practical experience.
"Hmm? You mean, he likes me? And he feels our relationship is a bit awkward right now, so he's planning to take things slowly?" Jiang Yu looked thoughtful.
"So, you're at least six years older than him, do you really want to lose to a younger brother?" Gu Qianqian's words almost instantly ignited Jiang Yu's competitive spirit.
Indeed, the person who understands you best is always your best friend or brother.
"That's impossible. What do you think I should do?" Jiang Yu looked at Gu Qianqian, who stopped her just as she was about to lift the blanket: "Stop. Your method is not suitable for me."
"Look at you, so timid! I should have known better than to take you to those places. It was a waste of time." Gu Qianqian said, exasperated.
"Okay, then go flirt with him until his legs go weak. But just a friendly reminder, your husband is pretty skilled, he doesn't seem like a novice at all. Don't let your legs go weak... no, it's good that your legs go weak. The country is encouraging people to have children now, so you and Chen Cixiu should have a couple more, and I'll have one."
Jiang Yu listened to her unreliable words and hung up the phone.
Ding-dong!
Gu Qianqian sent a voice message; I clicked to listen.
"I'm serious, with your looks and Chen Cixiu's, your child would definitely be beautiful."
Jiang Yu quickly closed the chat window with her.
An image involuntarily flashed through her mind: her and Chen Cixiu running on the grass one afternoon, and everyone who passed by praising their good looks.
Knock knock knock!
The knocking brought her back to reality.
She straightened her clothes and hair, then touched her flushed face from her earlier daydreaming and took a deep breath.
"The food is ready." Chen Cixiu was still holding a spatula.
"Mmm, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yu nodded, walked to the dining table, and was attracted by the food on the table, which looked and smelled delicious.
She knew that most boys these days could cook, but she never expected that Chen Cixiu could cook such a good meal.
Seemingly noticing the confusion in her eyes, Chen Cixiu handed her chopsticks and ladled her a bowl of soup.
This soup is corn, radish, and pork rib soup. It's a quick soup; it just needs to be cooked through and doesn't need to be simmered for too long.
“When I was little, my parents were quite busy. I often went to Uncle Qin’s house for meals, which is Qin Xue’s parents. Later, Qin Xue’s parents went on a business trip to another city and gave us money to buy our own food. I didn’t think those dishes were very tasty, so I looked through my mother’s cookbook and cooked for myself,” Chen Cixiu explained.
"I didn't realize that. I thought kids born in the 2000s generally didn't know how to cook." Jiang Yu placed her chopsticks on the salmon.
Pan-fried salmon.
The moment it entered his mouth, Jiang Yu's eyes lit up; the pan-fried salmon was delicious.
The broth, in particular, was seasoned to perfection.
Moreover, the aroma lingered on her tongue after she took a bite, which made her eat a few more bites.
Chen Cixiu sat down opposite her, reached out and asked her to give him her bowl, and scooped half a bowl of rice for her, because she didn't eat much, at most only one bowl. He remembered this detail these past few days.
Upon seeing half a bowl of rice, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered Gu Qianqian's words.
Her husband, whom she met on the street and married in a flash, is really shrewd.
"Those born in the 2000s may be a bit young and lack experience, but as an older sister, she's quite capable when it comes to cooking and such."
After Chen Cixiu finished speaking, Jiang Yu's mind shifted from Gu Qianqian to the condoms on the bedside table.
But the words "flirt with him" kept lingering in my mind.
She mustered her courage and leaned forward, allowing Chen Cixiu to take in her beautiful view, which made him feel a little thirsty.
What young man, full of vigor and vitality, could resist Jiang Yu's physique?
"Really?" The nonchalant tone of the voice almost made Chen Cixiu's mind go blank.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't embarrass himself in front of his sister.
Is she flirting with him?
Isn't this too fast?
However, get better soon.
Chen Cixiu leaned forward, gazing into her eyes.
Just then, all the lights suddenly went out.
The person in the darkness suddenly frowned and muttered, "I forgot to top up my account."
Jiang Yu always topped up her electricity card with a lot of money, but because it had been so long, she forgot that there was no money left in it.
She picked up her phone and turned on the flashlight. Just as she was about to look for Chen Cixiu, he was already beside her. She couldn't help but swallow hard. "Why did you come here?"
"I'm scared."
Um?
I couldn't tell at all.
"Sister, were you flirting with me just now?" Chen Cixiu asked honestly, revealing his true feelings.
"What if that's the case?" Jiang Yu retorted, not to be outdone.
Gu Qianqian must sit at the head table when they hold their wedding.
"If that's the case, then I'll take it seriously, Yu Yu!"
boom!
Jiang Yu's mind went wild for a moment, as if a spectacular fireworks display had gone off. He called out to her, "Yu Yu?"
