American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 219 I have always been happy to help others

The table was piled high with a variety of delicious foods: ham, fried eggs, bread, fried rice, delicate snacks, clear orange juice, and pure white milk, which looked very tempting.

Xiao Xian sat in the main seat, Hu Yifei sat to Xiao Xian's side, and Guan Gu Shenqi deliberately let Tang Youyou sit next to Xiao Xian, and then sat on Tang Youyou's other side.

Guan Gu Shenqi stared at the breakfast on the table, clearly shocked by the sight. "What day is it today, Teacher Zeng? You've made so much breakfast, and you're still making more..."

Hearing his words, Zeng Xiaoxian, who was in the kitchen, replied with a smile while making breakfast: "Isn't this to take care of the newcomer? It's Xiao Xian's first time here, so of course we have to take good care of him."

Under the table, Tang Youyou deliberately took off her shoes and stretched out her foot to touch Xiao Xian, but she accidentally bumped into Hu Yifei's foot, which was also barefoot. The two exchanged a surprised glance and revealed knowing smiles.

In the morning light, Tang Youyou gracefully took a bite of her sandwich, then looked at Guan Gu: "Guan Gu, I have an important kissing scene this afternoon. Could you practice with me this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu Shenqi's eyes darted between Xiao Xian and Tang Youyou. A thought struck him, and he smiled, saying, "I'm afraid I don't have time, Youyou. Why don't you have Xiao Xian practice with you?"

A shy blush appeared on Tang Youyou's cheeks, and she smiled lightly, "I'm willing, but I don't know if Xiao Xian would be willing." Her words were full of anticipation and undisguised joy.

When Guan Gu Shenqi saw Tang Youyou's shy appearance, his heart raced wildly, and he felt as if an electric current was running through his body. A thrilling and exciting feeling lingered in his heart.

Xiao Xian took a bite of cake, then looked at Guan Gu Shenqi and teased, "I'm fine, and I'm always happy to help others, but are you really okay? Youyou is your fiancée."

Guan Gu Shenqi immediately flashed a bright smile and said, "No problem, Youyou is a professional actress, I trust her."

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian walked over with freshly fried dough sticks in his hand and laughed, "Guan Gu, you can accept this? Are you still the King of Jealousy in East Asia? Are you sure you won't be angry with Xiao Xian and Youyou?"

Guan Gu Shenqi immediately retorted, feeling guilty and agitated: "I only agreed because I trust Youyou, and it's for her career! How could I be angry?"

After saying that, perhaps realizing he had gotten a little too excited, Guan Gu Shenqi softened his tone and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank Xiao Xian for helping Youyou with the rehearsals. After all, it took up Xiao Xian's time, right? And Xiao Xian has a girlfriend, right? It would be troublesome to explain things."

"No need to thank me, I'm always happy to help others." Xiao Xian waved his hand and said, "A couple of nights ago, at Zeng Xiaoxian's request, I also helped take care of the lonely Nuolan."

"What?! Taking care of lonely Nuolan?! Teacher Zeng, you?!" Guan Gu Shenqi looked at Teacher Zeng in shock upon hearing this, his eyes filled with a hint of envy that he himself didn't realize.

"Xiao Xian is Nuolan's cousin~ They're cousins, Guan Gu, please don't misunderstand!" Zeng Xiaoxian quickly stepped in to explain.

"I saw that Nuolan was bored, so I asked Xiao Xian to help her play cards and driving games or something."

"Oh, I see. You startled me," Guan Gu Shenqi said, somewhat disappointed.

"That's right, sometimes Yifei is there too. The three of us play cards or driving games and stuff like that," Xiao Xian nodded. "Nuolan's skills are better, but Hu Yifei has improved quite a bit these past few days. Right, Yifei?"

"That's right, that's exactly it!" Hu Yifei nodded quickly. "We absolutely didn't do anything strange! Don't get the wrong idea! We definitely don't have any inappropriate relationship!"

"??!?!" Zeng Xiaoxian leaned close to Hu Yifei and whispered, "Feifei, your lie is way too obvious! The additional details were completely unnecessary!"

"????!!" Guan Gu looked at Teacher Zeng and Hu Yifei, lost in thought. Could it be that Teacher Zeng was with Yifei while Xiao Xian was with Nuolan?

Because he was so looking forward to Tang Youyou and Xiao Xian's practice, Guan Gu Shenqi quickly finished his breakfast, then stood up and said...

"I've finished eating, I'm going to work now."

Tang Youyou nodded gently and said with a smile, "Go ahead, Guan Guan."

After Guan Gu Shenqi left, Tang Youyou quickly finished her breakfast and then said to Xiao Xian, "Let's go practice."

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Where do we practice? Your room or mine? Or the living room?"

Tang Youyou thought for a moment, then glanced at Teacher Zeng and replied, "Let's skip the living room. Miss Anmanette is still in your room, right? Why don't we practice in my room?"

Tang Youyou and Xiao Xian arrived at Tang Youyou and Guan Gu's magical bedroom. Tang Youyou gently locked the door behind her, a shy blush rising on her face. She looked at Xiao Xian sitting in the chair opposite her with a shy expression, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Xiao Xian sat in a chair, his arms wrapped around his neck, leaning back comfortably. He looked up at Tang Youyou, his eyes full of curiosity and teasing, and asked, "Youyou, how did you know Guan Gu Shenqi would refuse to film a kissing scene with you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Xian's question, Tang Youyou smiled slightly, concealing the embarrassment on her face, and replied, "I remember Guan Guan—no, Guan Gu—has class this morning."

Upon hearing her answer, Xiao Xian chuckled softly and said with amusement, "You might skip class even if you have one."

Tang Youyou gently bit her lip and said shyly, "Then I'll say that if I practice with Guan Gu, we can't act out the necessary feelings as a couple."

In room 3601, hiding behind heavy curtains, Guan Gu Shenqi began a unique observation. He cautiously peered through the crack in the window at Tang Youyou and Xiao Xian, who were chatting in the bedroom.

Tang Youyou's face flushed, and she smiled shyly at Xiao Xian, while Guan Guqi hid behind the curtains, his heart pounding with uncontrollable excitement. His hand gripped the edge of the curtain so tightly that it began to tremble slightly with overwhelming excitement.

At this moment, Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Guan Gu Shenqi behind the curtain. Seeing his trembling figure, he couldn't help but feel very strange.

So Lu Ziqiao stepped forward, gently patted Guan Gu's shoulder, and asked, "Guan Gu, what are you doing?"

As if struck by lightning, Guan Gu Shenqi immediately jumped up, quickly turned around, and saw Lu Ziqiao standing beside him. He quickly whispered to stop him, "Shh, keep your voice down!"

Seeing Guan Gu's astonished expression, Lu Ziqiao curiously followed his gaze. His eyes swept across the window and, upon seeing Tang Youyou chatting happily with Xiao Xian, he was completely shocked.

"Were you spying on your aunt chatting with another man?"

Lu Ziqiao stared wide-eyed in surprise, casting a puzzled look at Guan Gu.

Guan Gu blushed and hurriedly explained, "Actually, Youyou was practicing a kissing scene with Xiao Xian, and I was a little worried, so I'm watching from here."

"You actually agreed to let my aunt practice kissing scenes with another man, and such a handsome one at that?" Lu Ziqiao exclaimed in shock, his face full of surprise. "Guan Gu, are you still the jealous king of East Asia I know? I thought you would commit seppuku at any moment."

Guan Gu Shenqi took a deep breath and forced an explanation, "I can't help it. I have classes this morning. Besides, Youyou is a professional actress. I believe in our relationship."
