Gu Yuheng's face instantly darkened, and his voice turned cold: "Gu Jiu, what are you holding in your hand?"
Gu Jiu turned around, showing no embarrassment at being caught stealing food, and said with a grin, "It's mung bean and lotus flower cake made by Miss Chu Xia. It was just taken out of the refrigerator, and it's delicious."
Gu Yuheng's face darkened further, and his voice grew colder: "You gave me this bowl of watery, bean-like stuff to drink, while you ate something much better?"
Gu Jiu: "..." It's not that he doesn't want to give any to Third Master, it's just that Miss Chu Xia specifically instructed that this portion is for him and that he shouldn't share it with Third Master. Otherwise, if she finds out, he won't be able to get any more good food from Miss Chu Xia.
"Third Master..."
Gu Jiu was about to speak up to explain himself, but Gu Yuheng interrupted him in a deep voice—
"Bring it here!" The tone left no room for argument.
"But Third Master..."
I said—Give it to me!
Gu Jiu: "...Okay."
Having no other choice, Gu Jiu could only offer up the mung bean lotus cake she had only managed to eat one piece of, and she was still somewhat reluctant to leave.
Sigh, I should have known he would have hidden away and finished eating before coming out. This mung bean cake was so delicious, and he only took one bite!
Hopefully, Miss Chuxia hasn't found out about this, otherwise, he'll never get to enjoy the delicious food she makes.
While Gu Jiu was sighing with worry, Gu Yuheng was looking at the delicate pastries on the green lotus leaves in the pavilion. His expression could be described as dark clouds gathering and thunder raging.
He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. The chilled mung bean and lotus flower cake melted in his mouth, with a slight coolness. The texture was excellent and the taste was the best.
However, even so, a strange anger still welled up in his heart.
She sent food to Gu Jiu, but forgot about him?!
Gu Yuheng was so angry that he quickly finished the few pieces of pastry on the lotus leaf, but he was still very depressed: it would be strange if he didn't get angry when she made him angry every day!
...
The pastry incident happened not long ago.
One afternoon, Gu Yuheng left the pavilion to relieve himself. When he returned, he found Gu Jiu standing in his spot, helping him organize his documents.
Seeing him approach, Gu Jiu looked up and said, "Third Master, the wind blew away a few documents just now, so I weighed them down for you. By the way, Third Master, I just discovered that from this vantage point, you can actually see into Miss Chu Xia's boudoir!"
Gu Jiu's casual tone was full of surprise, but when he looked up, he found that his master's face was terribly gloomy.
"What did you see?" Gu Yuheng's voice was as cold as ice shards.
"No, no, no... nothing, I didn't see anything..." Gu Jiu denied subconsciously, stammering.
However, given his guilty tone, even he himself didn't believe that he couldn't see anything at all.
Gu Yuheng gave him a sinister look: "Tell me the truth, or I'll resort to violence."
Gu Jiu felt that his Third Master's eyes were too frightening at the moment, and he had a feeling that he wanted to kill him.
His voice trembled slightly: "Well... all I saw was Miss Chuxia doing her homework in her room, I didn't see anything else..."
Gu Yuheng glanced at the person opposite him with a stern face and found that Lin Chuxia was indeed sitting at her desk studying properly and had not made any other outrageous moves. Only then did his murderous aura towards Gu Jiu dissipate.
