Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 248 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (38)

"Alright, alright, both of you stop arguing!"

"I didn't even think about how to punish you. You blocked the road in the morning to save the child. I know that very well."

"I was just joking with you guys just now, please sit down and eat with me."

"There are so many delicious dishes. Do you think I can finish them all by myself? I don't have such a good appetite."

Gu Xiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, and invited them to sit down at the table.

When he suddenly heard these words, Wen Rushi thought that he was too hungry and was having some illusion during a daydream.

She looked at Jiang Qiuchen hesitantly, fearing that all this was just a prelude to Gu Xiao's teasing of them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiuchen was not afraid at all. He took her hand and walked to the table, sitting down confidently.

Wen Rushi: ???

Although she didn't know what was going on, she sat down for some unknown reason and sat with Gu Xiao, who had been rude to them in the morning, and even planned to have dinner together.

"Then thank you, Master Gu. You are really a kind person with a beautiful heart!"

"We will enjoy this meal seriously and make sure your kindness is not wasted!"

After saying that, Jiang Qiuchen picked up the empty bowl and chopsticks on the table and started eating without any hesitation.

"Wow! This lychee meat is so delicious! Rushi, try it!"

In between tasting the food, Jiang Qiuchen even had the leisure to pick up some food for Wen Rushi.

Looking at the brightly colored lychee flesh in the porcelain bowl, Wen Rushi's throat rolled and he swallowed his saliva reluctantly.

After a while, he started to eat with relish.

Never mind! Even if I have to die, I can’t die of starvation!

After Wen Rushi picked up his chopsticks, he ate much faster than Jiang Qiuchen.

Jiang Qiuchen didn't feel hungry. The only reason she picked up her chopsticks was because she was simply greedy.

But Wen Rushi was different. She didn't have much money on her now. If she left here, she didn't know when she would be able to eat such delicious food again.

So compared to Jiang Qiuchen's careful savoring, Wen Rushi's was more like a reckless sweep.

Gu Xiao was frightened by these two people, and his eyes changed from disbelief at first to confusion later.

No? What's going on? Are you all so adaptable? Are you the guest taking the lead?
From Gu Xiao's perspective, Wen Rushi started showing off his fandom directly without any transition or prelude, and was even unwilling to say any extra polite words.

Considering his current performance and previous prejudices, Gu Xiao's impression of Wen Rushi was not very good.

The words "dumb, irresponsible, lazy and gluttonous" were immediately applied to Wen Rushi.

Jiang Qiuchen, on the other hand, has become a troublemaker with unpredictable moods and the ability to bend and stretch.

But seeing that the two were eating so happily, Gu Xiao did not immediately say anything to stop them or disturb them. He just silently picked up his bowl and chopsticks and turned his body away.

I only ate the few dishes in front of me, fearing that the two pairs of sweeping chopsticks would pinch my head.

"belch--"

After eating and drinking his fill, Wen Rushi touched his round belly and leaned back on the table in a relaxed manner.

She still said nothing, but her expression was no longer as frank as at the beginning, but rather a little evasive.

With her stomach full and her spirits restored, she now knew exactly what she had just done.

Feeling a little guilty, he didn't even dare to look at Gu Xiao's eyes.

Jiang Qiuchen knew her embarrassment, and naturally straightened up to block Gu Xiao's gaze, acting as a shield again.

"Oh, you're still as warm-hearted as ever?"

“Looking at the situation, you two should be very satisfied with the meal, right?” Gu Xiao tilted his head and raised an eyebrow towards the cleared bowls and dishes.

Jiang Qiuchen lowered his eyes, took a quick glance, coughed lightly, and spoke without blushing or beating his heart.

"Yes, he is worthy of being the chef of the palace. His cooking is delicious."

"Mr. Gu is so lucky to be born into such a family and be able to enjoy these delicious dishes every day."

After eating and drinking, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed, and a hint of fatigue appeared between Gu Xiao's brows.

"Speaking of which, when I asked you to sit down and eat just now, weren't you scared?"

"What if I am a smiling tiger and I put poison in your food? If you eat it, won't you die?"

Gu Xiao was really curious about this question. Although he had only known Jiang Qiuchen for a short day, he found everything Jiang Qiuchen showed really interesting.

Looking at the other party's serious gaze, Jiang Qiuchen also replied very sincerely.

"Don't be afraid, I know you are not a bad person."

Gu Xiao supported his head with one hand, threw a grape into his mouth, and asked.

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

Looking at his unruly appearance, Jiang Qiuchen just thought he was a naughty kid.

"If you were really as dissolute as the outside world says, you would have given us two a hard time a long time ago."

"Many things don't require you, the powerful, to do anything. Just open your mouth and there will be plenty of people working for you."

"It's probably easier to teach two powerless ordinary people a lesson than to crush an ant to death."

"The reason you didn't do that is that you don't care about those despicable means at all."

"But I have to say, you look really hateful when you're outside during the day."

Gu Xiao didn't expect that Jiang Qiucheng would see through his disguise at a glance, and he touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you found this out."

"You're quite interesting and thoughtful. You've connected all these clues in just one afternoon and figured it out."

"What's your name? Tell me. We've known each other for a long time, so we should at least know each other's names."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen straightened his back, cleared his throat and spoke.

"I will not change my name, my surname is Jiang, and my given name is Qiu Cheng."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together and stretched them forward, looking quite like a man of the world.

Gu Xiao was so amused by her combination of things that he laughed continuously and found it so funny that he couldn't straighten up for a long time.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"It turned out to be little sister Jiang~"

After capturing the key words, Jiang Qiuchen became somewhat unhappy. He stretched out his fingers seriously and shook them left and right in front of Gu Xiao.

"No, I'm not Little Sister Jiang. I'm older than you. You should call me Sister Jiang."

Gu Xiao stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, and raised his voice.

"What? You! Older than me?!"

"How come? I feel like you don't look much different from me."

"I'm already seventeen. After my birthday this year, I'll be eighteen. Are you really older than me?"

Hearing Gu Xiao's questioning, Jiang Qiuchen smiled somewhat smugly.
