At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

This is a trick from "The Bad Water Technique," called "Double Reward."

Su Che took advantage of the cat's desires and Gu Zhi's dissatisfaction, filling the gap in his time allocation between home and outside by delaying his departure by half a day.

The house cat was heavily rewarded, and Gu Zhi also benefited, so she wasn't worried at all.

Now, An Qing is lying softly in the room, no longer feeling wronged. Her sense of security has been restored, and she will never look at him with pitiful eyes again.

The kitten, who was pretending to be asleep, witnessed something exciting and secretly wondered if it should also apply for a real-world exercise.

Although Su Che had exhausted himself, this effort resolved the problem, allowing him to focus on the afternoon's events without constantly worrying about home.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Che got dressed, said goodbye to the two little ones, and went downstairs with his bag.

He doesn't have to worry about not coming home tonight.

An Qing was satisfied and wouldn't insist that he go home, so Gu Zhi could proceed with the project step by step.

Su Che unzipped his bag and glanced at the thermos flask lying quietly inside...

The black thermos was heavy, and it seemed to be filled with water.

【very good.】

This is a spare herbal tea, already brewed and ready to drink at any time.

With this, we can ensure that Gu Zhi receives more than she expects when she needs it.

"Yeah. It's nice to have a trump card up your sleeve."

He zipped the zipper back up, deciding to drink the treasure inside only at the necessary moment.

Although the budget didn't mention rewarding Gu Zhi, if Gu Zhi behaves well, it's not entirely out of the question to consider it later.

"As for my mental state, I've taken the medication and am feeling a bit better. I should be able to drive short distances without any problems."

"But before we leave, we need to bring some things from the city for the old lady; we can't forget that."

You must never be careless about the promises you make.

The old lady had hosted so many of us for a stay and provided us with farm-style meals; this kindness must be repaid.

Su Che got into the driver's seat, sent a text message to Gu Zhi in advance, and then drove out of the underground parking lot of the community.

The two met at the entrance of the luxury shopping mall downstairs from Gu Zhi's house.

"Brother Che, you didn't stand me up today. I thought that if I didn't mention it and you didn't say anything, this matter would just be over."

Before the person arrives, their voice precedes them.

"How could that be?"

Su Che stretched out his right arm, reached for the handle on the right door, and opened the car door for her.

Today, she was dressed very attractively; it was the same knitwear she liked best when I first went to her home for a tutoring session.

A tightly fitted beige knit sweater wrapped around her full body, revealing a mysterious area hidden beneath a white shirt;

The lower body is a very typical gray super short plaid skirt, paired with combat-grade black tear-resistant tights, the thickness of which is between invisible and not visible;

As for her feet, she was wearing low-heeled, shiny black uniform shoes, designed to balance her height so that she was almost the same height as someone else.

This outfit not only increases attack speed but also improves critical hit rate.

Unlike other girls, Gu Zhi has amazing stats, but she's the type who absolutely won't flaunt her wealth unless it's a crucial occasion...

In other words, she won't dress provocatively in public places like the rehearsal room, deliberately trying to compete with her teammates or other cats; she's not that kind of person.

She knows how to conceal her talents and quietly amass wealth, secretly unleashing her trump card and daring to take big bites...

This is her habit.

Su Che immediately looked away to avoid being captivated by her outfit.

"Hmm? Aren't you going to give your comments?"

Gu Zhi curled the corners of her lips and leaned closer with a mischievous grin.

In that instant, the scent of perfume mingled with the fragrance of freshly washed hair, and even a hint of the milky aroma of shower gel, all three combined to assault the senses.

The olfactory system has been compromised, directly breaching the defenses; next come the auditory and tactile systems…

Su Che forcefully closed and opened his eyes, roused himself, and dared not turn his head, saying:

"Hmm, I can tell you really value this trip. You took a shower before leaving, right?"

"Hehe, you noticed that."

"Of course, don't you know who I am?"

"Here, take this as a reward."

Before Su Che could react to her seductive whisper, he felt someone kiss his right cheek, leaving a lipstick mark that even a blind person could see... extremely clear.

"...No, are you messing with me?"

Su Che had nowhere to hide. Looking at his reflection in the rearview mirror, he felt a headache coming on. "I'm about to get out of the car to go to the market. How am I going to face all these strangers when I go to buy the tribute fruit..."

As he spoke, he reached into his bag, trying to pull out a wet wipe to remove the marks from his face.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Zhi wouldn't let him have it and snatched the black shoulder bag off his lap!

"Don't wipe it off. If you do, I won't be friends with you anymore."

"??"

Su Che was shocked.

Unexpectedly, she, who is usually so composed, could say such childish things.

He was at his wit's end and had no choice but to go all out. "Fine, fine, I won't wipe it. I'll wipe it when we get there, okay?"

He was referring to the countryside.

"Hmm~"

Gu Zhi was slightly satisfied and nodded. Then, she looked at his bag and visually inspected the contents.

"Brother Che, what is this?"

With her keen eye, she immediately noticed the unique, high-end thermos.

Su Che's eyes twitched.

He cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing. The journey is long, shouldn't we bring our own drinks? What if we get thirsty along the way?"

He started talking nonsense.

"So you prepared water instead of buying it at a roadside convenience store or the big department store later?"

"yes……"

"What about this one?"

Gu Zhi pointed to a bottle of Ipoh mineral water next to her, a smile of discovery spreading across her face.

"One bottle isn't enough, so you need to bring two, right?"

"Ah...yes, that's right. I was just thinking of getting you a bottle too, so I took an extra one from the fridge, it was just a quick thing to do."

—A lie with completely flawed logic.

Gu Zhi touched the bottle in Ipoh. It was at room temperature, not refrigerated at all, and the water level inside had dropped, indicating that it had been opened and a sip had been taken, so it wasn't brand new.

This kind of mineral water was indeed what she wanted to drink.

But compared to that, she was more concerned about what exactly was in the thermos.

"Since it's your kindness, brother, then I won't stand on ceremony."

As she spoke, she reached for Su Che's water.

Su Che was reversing and looking for a parking spot, so he had no time to pay attention to her hand movements. Upon hearing this, he simply nodded and said:

"Okay, you can drink it. I opened the bottled water and took a sip, don't mind."

He continued talking, but did not receive a reply from Gu Zhi.

Of course, there was no sound of the mineral water bottle cap being unscrewed.

An ominous premonition began to grow in my heart.

He turned his head to look, concerned.

Something shocking happened to him—

I see,

Gu Zhi had already unscrewed the thermos he had brought from home, which contained pre-prepared drinks... and using the lid as a bowl, she pressed down the spout, quickly pouring herself a cup of "medicinal tea" just before he opened his mouth to drink.

And with a gurgling sound...

It went down my throat.

……

……

Chapter 205 Gu Zhi, a woman skilled in childbearing, goes to the countryside to visit her son.

Su Che never expected that the trump card he had carefully prepared for himself would be used against him by Gu Zhi...

This time, the sky just collapsed.

"What kind of tea is this? It tastes strange, not like black tea, not like green tea... Hmm... It tastes more like Chinese medicine, and it makes my throat feel hot after drinking it."

Gu Zhi blinked her beautiful eyes, finding the taste quite novel.

It's broken. Utterly broken.

Su Che began to feel anxious.

[Old Wang didn't say what would happen if a girl drank this stuff...]
