After nestled in his fiancée's arms and staring at the computer screen for a long time, Gu Cheng took the initiative to stand up, cut up the pineapple he had bought yesterday, and slowly soaked it in warm salt water.
Eating some fruit before bed is also a good idea.
"Gu Chengyan?"
She called out tentatively, but there was still no response. The girl pursed her lips, turned on the tap, and rinsed all the pineapple juice off her fingers.
"Next, should I cut my nails or tie my hair up?"
Hearing the familiar female voice in her mind, Gu Cheng's body trembled suddenly, and a look of joy lit up her pupils.
"You're back?"
Gu Chengyan remained silent for a moment, his tone somewhat complicated.
"I woke up when you sat on Su Wanxi's lap."
She had just woken up when she was bombarded with an overwhelming amount of sweet dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). She was too tired to participate in the discussion, so she simply listened quietly from the sidelines.
"...You missed me after not seeing me for so long?"
The woman's voice was as flippant as ever, but Gu Cheng didn't shy away from it at all, delivering a serious and direct response.
"Yes, I miss you, but more than that, I'm afraid something might happen to you."
Just like when a daughter who has entered her rebellious phase suddenly quarrels with her family and runs away from home in a fit of rage, a mother's first reaction is anger, which is then quickly replaced by worry.
Although the two are of the same origin and share the same memories, they cannot share all emotions. If a certain arrogant person knew that Gu Cheng was feeling this way at this moment, he would probably explode on the spot.
I treat you like my own sister, but you want to be my mother?
"You really miss me?" Miss Gu asked, half believing it.
Gu Cheng nodded: "Of course, Su Wanwan is also very worried about you."
Su Wanxi...is worried about me?
The combination of these six words was hard for Gu Chengyan to believe. She had always felt that her relationship with Su Wanxi was neither bad nor good.
It's probably because she treated Gu Cheng well that she extended her affection to Gu Cheng as well.
Back in the living room, Gu Cheng immediately relayed the good news to Su Wanxi, who blinked and greeted her.
Good evening, Miss Gu.
"..."
"Miss Su is the same."
After speaking, Gu Chengyan relinquished control of his body. Gu Cheng staggered and sat down next to Su Wanxi. The woman, feeling the emptiness in her arms, simply pulled her onto her lap.
“Gu Chengyan said she’s still very sleepy and wants to sleep a little longer.” Gu Cheng rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up straight. “However, I asked her, and she confirmed that concept erasure can indeed bridge the gap between reality and the rift.”
In other words, Surtur was able to leave his heart in the mortal world as an anchor largely thanks to Gu Chengyan.
"What about earthquakes?" Su Wanxi asked Gu Cheng.
The girl cleared her throat, her two slender arms encircling her ample chest.
"It was also her doing, using her mental power to erase the concept of earthquake."
Strictly speaking, it erased the energy accumulated over the years from the earthquake source and geological fault zones. According to Gu Chengyan's subsequent description, her abilities were far from as invincible as Gu Cheng imagined.
"She cannot interfere with the most basic laws of physics for an extended period of time."
When her mental energy is abundant, Gu Chengyan can erase matter and energy within a certain area, but this does not mean that she has actually altered the laws of physics.
Women are simply using their abilities to create bugs.
"I see..." Gu Chengyan's situation was not beyond Su Wanxi's expectations. As a veteran A+ level awakener, she understood the structure and operation of supernatural abilities better than Gu Cheng.
If Gu Chengyan could really erase concepts at will, let alone Surtur, even if he added the black dragon Nidhogg, the former could directly give Gu Cheng an invulnerability buff, and his fiancée could still cut down everything from beginning to end.
They discussed the topic of superpowers until 11 p.m., which was about time to go to sleep. Su Wanxi enjoyed Gu Cheng feeding her pineapple while tidying up her computer.
After finishing the fruit, the two rinsed their mouths and went to bed to rest.
Just when Gu Cheng thought Su Wanxi hadn't understood her hint, two smooth and long legs suddenly wrapped around her waist.
"Are you coming?" Su Wanxi asked her.
Her daughter, Orange, has really gone astray; she even knows this. But it's just as well, she didn't really enjoy herself much on the sofa at noon anyway.
Gu Cheng blushed and gave a soft "hmm".
A moment later, a rustling sound came from the darkness, along with a woman's soft, sweet moans.
Chapter 394, Section 402: Ji Da
With less than forty days until the winter solstice, the ginkgo trees on both sides of the street have already shed their leaves, and the golden leaves have spread a shallow layer on the ground. Occasionally, a slight autumn breeze blows, stirring up clusters of intertwined and layered sea of leaves.
Gu Cheng covered her lips with her hands and breathed out. A small part of her fair wrist peeked out from the sleeve of her sweater. It was smooth and slender, with a hint of whiteness. Her fair legs, hidden under sheer stockings, swayed gently with her steps, each movement captivating the heart.
"Lotus root, winter melon, pork ribs..." The girl murmured to herself as she pushed the shopping cart. "...It seems we're out of fruit at home. Maybe we can buy some pomegranates and pears."
An Zhishui and Ling Yi have been living here for some time now, and Su Wanxi has gotten used to adding two extra sets of chopsticks and bowls to the dining table. Seeing that they can get along harmoniously, Gu Cheng is very gratified.
Ling Yi is adorable and cute. She usually stays in her bedroom drawing and is quiet and lovable. Her roommate An Zhishui is a seasoned homebody. For Miss Ekaterina, the distance from the bedroom to the living room is farther than the distance from Lanjiang to Siberia. Apart from three meals a day, Gu Cheng rarely sees her.
"Please give me a pound of pork tenderloin, thank you~" Gu Cheng politely greeted the sales clerk, stopped, and smiled as she looked at the counter.
With more people in the family, we spend more time shopping for ingredients every day. We need to consider Su Wanwan and An Zhishui's taste preferences while also ensuring a balanced diet of meat and vegetables to provide sufficient nutrition.
It was tiring, but Gu Cheng was enjoying it.
After all, who could resist the satisfied look in the eyes of their lover or friend?
"Thirty-two yuan in total."
Taking the plastic bag, the girl took out her phone and scanned the payment code, thinking to herself that recently not only rice and flour prices have gone up, but even vegetables and meat are more expensive than before.
Some people had already gotten wind of the situation and began hoarding food on a large scale, while the Chinese leadership was also trying to find ways to lower prices.
As a result, the price increases for basic necessities like rice, oil, and salt were not too significant and were barely acceptable to the general public.
After putting the bag into the shopping cart, Gu Cheng brushed her stray hairs aside and continued walking towards the vegetable section.
"Miss, please wait a moment..."
After taking only a few steps, a beautifully dressed young woman suddenly called out to Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng turned around and looked around to make sure that there was no one else besides herself.
Are you... talking to me?
Gu Cheng raised her hand and poked her dimple, making a crisp sound.
The woman hummed in agreement, her pink lips pressed tightly together. Her features were well-proportioned and three-dimensional, her skin was fair and smooth, and her long, wine-red waves cascaded down her shoulders. She wore a light brown dress that reached her knees, with a pair of exquisitely decorated loafers underneath.
Even though the two were nearly two meters apart, Gu Cheng could still smell the woman's strong perfume. Although it was a mix of rose and lavender, it was completely different from the scent Su Wanxi gave her.
"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please give me your contact information?" The man asked, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone calm.
Gu Cheng was stunned upon hearing this, her thoughts becoming somewhat confused.
What does this mean...? Looking up at the woman, Gu Cheng saw an obvious appreciation in her eyes, as well as a faint desire.
Striking up with someone? Gu Cheng had met plenty of people asking for her contact information, but this was the first time someone so direct, especially from a fellow woman, had done it.
"I don't quite understand..."
The girl tried to play dumb, her delicate hands gripping the car handrail tightly. Seeing this, the woman crossed her arms and stood with her legs straight.
Unlike the dignified and low-key Miss Su at home, the person in front of me was dressed in extremely luxurious attire. Whether it was the exquisite and luxurious Cartier watch on her left wrist or the dazzling Tiffany necklace around her neck, she was like a princess surrounded by luxury goods, making no attempt to hide her overwhelming nobility.
"This may be a bit abrupt, but I just want to make friends with you, and I hope we can get to know each other better if the opportunity arises."
If there was still a slim possibility before that Gu Cheng had misunderstood, once this sentence was uttered, even the slow-witted girl would understand the subtext.
Can I pursue you?
"Pfft... Hahaha..."
Gu Cheng heard Miss Gu's suppressed laughter echoing in her mind. She rubbed the hem of her clothes a few times, feeling somewhat uncomfortable all over.
Why does she look so lesbian?
"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to expand my social circle at the moment."
Regardless of whether you're a lesbian or not, cutting things off quickly is never a bad thing.
Gu Cheng rubbed her eyelashes, deliberately showing off the engagement ring on her left middle finger. The woman caught sight of the ring and froze in place.
They're already engaged?
It wouldn't be right for the socialite to keep pestering her, so she bit her cherry lips and sighed softly to herself.
It's rare to meet a beauty with such outstanding looks and temperament, but little did I know she was already taken.
"Sorry to bother you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman turned and left the supermarket without any hesitation. Gu Cheng watched her slightly dejected figure, her brown eyes calm as still water.
"You hurt someone's feelings~" Gu Chengyan whispered.
Gu Cheng blinked a few times and pushed the shopping cart in the original direction.
"Otherwise, do you have a better solution?"
It was fortunate that the other party didn't pester her. Gu Cheng bent down and picked through the lotus roots, finding two that looked quite appealing and putting them in the basket.
"This is because I am absolutely faithful to my wife."
The best way to avoid misunderstandings with your partner is to nip any potential problems in the bud. As long as she is determined not to leave her contact information and rejects you quickly and coldly enough, she won't be able to get jealous.
As for agreeing to be just friends, that's purely stringing people along. Gu Cheng personally feels that this kind of behavior is pretty manipulative.
"Isn't my Wanwan much better than others? She's gentle, considerate, and incredibly beautiful."
Once the topic came up, Gu Cheng couldn't stop talking. Gu Chengyan summarized it as follows:
Su Wanwan is the cutest person in the world.
Leaving the supermarket, Gu Cheng smelled the rich aroma of caramelized sugar from the roadside stall. She straightened her collar and ran to the stall, staring at the clay pot like a child.
"I'll also buy some roasted chestnuts!"
