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

[Increase the frequency with which he initiates invitations to go out alone with me, and is willing to stay out all night with me.]

[Increase his attention to me personally within the team, and make him enjoy the feeling of our skin touching, just like I do, thus creating a sense of dependence.]

[And also, to make me more likable to him.]...

After recounting ten thousand greedy options.

Gu Zhi belatedly realized, "Oh dear, I accidentally made too many wishes."

Su Che glanced helplessly at the sky outside and complained, "It's already dusk. You've been nagging for at least 40 minutes..."

"Haha, sorry, Brother Che, I have too many desires."

She stood up shyly and admitted her mistake.

Su Che smiled and watched as she put the futon back in its place. Then she came over, took his arm, and walked outside with him.

Suddenly, the heat from between his skin sent a shiver down his spine!

It's so hot!

Oh no, she might be getting a little carried away now. Judging from the look on her face, she seems to be deliberately holding back.

He quickly asked, "Are you alright? Are you feeling... okay?"

"Mmm, I'm just a little thirsty."

Gu Zhi is indeed a person capable of great things. Even though she is feeling very unwell now, she still plans to accompany him back to the compound to have dinner, and then wait until rest time to eat her own "exclusive midnight snack".

A strange light flashed in Su Che's eyes, and he quickened his pace.

"Let's go, Grandma should have made something delicious by now. I'll eat quickly and then I'll help you bring down your fever."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi finally smiled again.

-

Before long, the two returned to the courtyard.

The wind in the countryside is warm, and it feels wonderful on my face.

Chickens strolled around the yard, watching the sunset, while stray cats basked in the best spots on the eaves. Wisps of steam billowed from the chimneys above the houses, creating a tranquil and peaceful rural scene.

Su Che and Gu Zhi entered the house hand in hand and saw that Grandma had already set out a table of food, which was even more abundant than last time.

“Oh, you’re back from paying respects to the Buddha? Come, come, come and see my skills! Today, I won’t hide anything from you! If I were 10 years younger, I could cook you a whole rural feast and broaden your horizons, you city folks.”

Grandma Bai placed a pot of braised beef with potatoes on the table, chattering away.

At this point, there were already 6 dishes and 1 soup on the table—namely, cold pig's ear salad, farmhouse cucumber salad, Tujia-style stir-fried free-range eggs, fried yellow croaker, and stewed pork ribs with green beans and corn.

The soup is a vegetarian stew, the staple food is rice cooked on the stove, and there are also small cornbreads stuck to the pot, which are nutritious and healthy.

A large table was laden with food, steaming hot, and the aroma wafted out of the house from a great distance, making the dogs in the yard bark incessantly with envy.

"No, this is definitely not enough for three people..."

Both of them were stunned, never expecting to be treated so warmly by the old man.

"Yes, Grandma, you've made so many delicacies, Xiaozhi and I can't possibly eat them all..."

Su Che also felt that this was perhaps too grand.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Bai gestured for the two to sit down, made a "it's all standard procedure" gesture, and said with a smile:

"You two eat first. Xiao Chu will be going home later, so we can save the rest for her. Last time, I told my Chu'er to go to that temple to pray and exchange some offerings for the Buddha, to continue the incense offerings."

She listened to me and spent a long time getting ready, even making some wishes. I just don't know if they came true.

The old lady sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) leaning on her cane, her face showing a look of reminiscence.

Su Che's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with Gu Zhi. "So she was the one who cleaned up there."

Having experienced the hotel incident, Su Che had already confirmed with Bai Chu that Grandma Bai was her only relative.

And the "Xiao Chu" who came home later must be referring to her.

The thought of Bai Chu catching him and Gu Zhi on this trip made Su Che feel a little uneasy.

I still need to help Gu Zhi with some issues tonight, so I hope I won't be disturbed.

He ate his meal in silence, thinking this through.

Gu Zhi didn't know that Bai Laotai's granddaughter was Bai Chu, so she didn't react much. She just focused her attention on the cucumber dish on the table and enjoyed the pollution-free green ingredients from the countryside.

Before long, the roar of a motor engine grew louder as it approached.

The group of people turned around and saw an ultra-luxurious black sports car parked outside the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Bai narrowed her eyes, her wrinkled face full of wariness. "Is this another one from the city?"

Before they could get an answer, a car door opened, and a pretty young girl with a bag on her back stepped out. It was Bai Chu.

She turned and nodded her thanks to the man in the driver's seat. The black car didn't enter the yard; instead, it drove towards the village entrance. It's unclear whether it left or not.

After watching the black car drive away, Bai Chu quickly jogged into the courtyard.

"Grandma! Grandma! I'm back."

The child's voice was filled with joy and excitement, as if returning to the countryside from the city was a relaxing and joyful experience for her.

"Oh, Chu'er, come on over. We have guests at home, so you need to be polite."

Grandma Bai, leaning on her cane, gently reminded her to be polite to the guests.

Bai Chu didn't care about that. She had already prejudicially assumed that the two people who would be "guests" in her home were scheming bad people, so naturally she wouldn't give them a friendly look.

She mustered her courage and stormed into the room! She headed straight for the inner room on her right.

"I want to see who this devil is, daring to extend his evil claws to my grandmother's head!"

She said this as she pushed open the door...

next interest.

The two people inside the room stopped eating.

Bai Chu, standing at the door, stared wide-eyed, frozen in place after seeing the man she had "had an affair with."

The scene at this moment can be perfectly described as a staring contest.

"No, you...you you you..."

Her face flushed red. She never expected that the city swindler she had tacitly agreed with was actually Su Che, whom she had been longing for!

Gu Zhi was quite surprised. After her initial astonishment, she immediately became alert and began to worry that the event might be disrupted by her.

At this point, Su Che had to stand up and say a few words.

He put down his chopsticks, bypassed all the other unimportant questions, and asked only one:

"Chuchu, it's been a few days, I didn't expect you to have changed so much!"

He smiled veiledly: "You already have sports cars picking you up and dropping you off, right? I thought you weren't the kind of idol with a messy private life that I imagined."

These words immediately caused the atmosphere to plummet to rock bottom.

……

……

Chapter 207 Plundering Herbal Tea! Collapse! A Hellish Clash Between Two Women!

Although Bai Chu didn't think she needed to explain to him, since the two of them weren't really partners, there was no need to explain all the people around her.

Seeing his suspicion, for some reason, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, and she gritted her teeth and retorted:

"It's not what you think. The person who brought me back was my senior, and he's about the same age as your dad."

"is it?"

Su Che didn't take it seriously. He simply picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating, treating her house as if it were his own.

Although Gu Zhi didn't understand why Bai Chu would appear in the countryside, she could guess after thinking about it carefully that this was her home, and that her relationship with Su Che might have undergone some breakthrough growth that she couldn't see.

The tone she used when she spoke to him was like that of a pitiful girlfriend who had been dumped after a one-night stand.

Did Brother Che also make a move on her? Or did she make the first move on him?

With accurate judgment and a silent, non-interventionist approach, she sat with him, looking at Chuchu with icy eyes, without saying a word.

At this point, it was Grandma Bai who had to step in:

"Hey, you two seem like you've known each other for a long time, but why are you acting like a bickering young couple, talking so awkwardly? Xiao Chu, sit down and talk to them properly. Don't be so childish."

"I……"

"And look, they came all the way from the city to see me and bought so many things, and you still suspect they're bad people. You're in the wrong, why don't you admit your mistake first? If you don't admit your mistake, you're not allowed to eat."

"..."

After being lectured by the old lady, Bai Chu pitifully pursed her lips, shuffled over to Su Che's left side, lowered her head, covered her face with her bangs, and looked very aggrieved. She reached out her little hand and pinched his sleeve.

She said humbly, "I...I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Please forgive me...please?"

"..."

To be honest, Su Che is never afraid of going head-to-head with others. Anyone who tries to confront him will be ineffective and will instead provoke his violent counterattack. However, he can't handle the soft and gentle attacks of a young girl, who seems to have been bullied. He can easily be taken down by her.

As expected, Bai Chu then said:

"I promise, after that time with you, I haven't had a relationship with any other man. I promise, from now on I will only look at you, as long as you don't mind... Can we... can we go back to how we felt before...?"

Gu Zhi: "?"

[Really? She's already eaten my family? When did this happen?]

Now, everyone present was no longer sleepy.

Grandma Bai, her face radiant with a smile, said with a hearty laugh:

"Oh my, so this is what Xiao Chu meant by giving me a surprise? Congratulations! If Xiao Chu has a baby, that would be wonderful news! While I'm still able to walk, I can help you two take care of the baby!"

The old lady placed her cane against the wall and demonstrated her agile ability to stand on the ground for up to 5 seconds without any external support.
