"Thank you." Gu Ruoxue nodded slightly. She did not refuse. Instead, she took the tea, opened it, tilted her head back and took a sip.

Li Guanqi also took the drink, took a sip, and then said, "There's no more food in the refrigerator. I'll go downstairs to buy some groceries."

"No need, I'll do it myself, you guys take a rest." Su Cheng hurriedly stopped them, then changed his clothes and left in a hurry.

He felt that he should leave the two girls alone for a while, because he just realized that they seemed to have something to say, and this was a good time for him to hide.

After all, without his interference and influence, the two women might express their own opinions. And communicating alone might also help to enhance mutual understanding and improve the relationship.

His little Qiqi will definitely take action for him!

Afterwards, he could ask Guanqi about Gu Ruoxue’s attitude!

As soon as Su Cheng left, there were only two girls left in the room.

The air and space seemed to be frozen at this moment. The whole living room seemed exceptionally quiet, except for the patter of the washing machine and the noise of traffic outside...

In short, the atmosphere between the two girls with long black hair was very awkward.

Li Guanqi was interacting with Yaya. She took out some nut snacks from her bag and gave them to Yaya.

Yaya cleverly held the nut in his mouth, chewing it with enjoyment, and raised his head to look at Gu Ruoxue.

It noticed that Su Cheng was very afraid of this woman.

It was smart and had already regarded the girl as someone it could curry favor with, and decided that if Su Cheng was mean to it in the future, it would go find this girl.

So, the crow flew directly to Gu Ruoxue with a nut in its mouth, carefully placed the nut on her thigh, and rubbed its head against Gu Ruoxue in a flattering manner, trying to establish a friendly relationship with her.

"Is it for me?" Gu Ruoxue was a little surprised. She looked down at the nut on her leg and asked.

"Wow——" Yaya nodded vigorously, staring at her with a pair of big black eyes full of anticipation.

"What a smart and sensible little guy." Gu Ruoxue smiled and praised.

Then, she stretched out her slender white fingers, pinched the nut, and put it to Crow's mouth, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't like eating nuts. So, you should eat it yourself."

"Huh~?" Yaya was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp with a somewhat aggrieved look, rubbed Gu Ruoxue's fingers with her head, and walked away as if she was acting coquettishly.

"What's its name."

Seeing its adorable little appearance, Gu Ruoxue couldn't help but reach out and rub its feathers, which were soft and smooth, and asked.

"Yaya, the name given by Su Cheng."

Li Guanqi took it all in and then answered.

"Very cute." Gu Ruoxue touched Yaya's head again, then set her eyes on Yaya's torn red sweater, and suggested to Li Guanqi, "I happen to know a little needlework, so I can help mend it."

"No need to trouble you, senior. When you bought it, you can return it unconditionally. Just go to the store and exchange it for a new one."

Li Guanqi politely declined.

"Is that so? All right then."

Gu Ruoxue felt a little regretful when she heard this, but she didn't force it and had to retract her hand that was about to take off her sweater.

When Yaya saw Gu Ruoxue retract her hand, she flew back to Li Guanqi's shoulder and continued to receive feeding service from Li Guanqi.

Watching the man and the crow interacting again, Gu Ruoxue suddenly took out her cell phone and started checking the news.

But the moment Gu Ruoxue produced a cell phone out of thin air, Li Guanqi next to her stopped feeding the baby, stared blankly at her phone for a few seconds, and then silently signaled Yaya to go out for a walk.

So, Crow cleverly flew towards the balcony.

Li Guanqi discovered two problems.

1: This phone is exactly the same as Su Cheng’s.

Two: The phone was not taken out of the pocket.

She realized that this was a gift from Su Cheng to her.

This made Li Guanqi lower her head slightly. Although she had heard Su Cheng talk about it, she only saw it with her own eyes now.

She still had some resentment in her heart.

After all, this is a ring!

What does it mean when a boy gives a girl a ring?

Of course she knows.

"Very disappointed?"

Suddenly, Gu Ruoxue turned her head and stared at her for a while, then asked.

"No."

Li Guanqi shook his head subconsciously.

"is it?"

Gu Ruoxue raised her eyebrows, not smiling.

"I just didn't expect that the senior sister would use the same phone as Su Cheng. After all, the model is a bit old and not easy to find."

Li Guanqi changed the subject and said something.

"Ah."

Gu Ruoxue nodded nonchalantly, as if she didn't want to talk about it, and changed the subject: "You were quite upset just now. Do you have an opinion about me directly bringing up the conflict and forcing him to make a choice?"

Li Guanqi shook his head: "I have known you for a few days, and this is indeed in line with your usual simple style. If there is no accident, I would be happy to see it happen. But now, I am worried that he may make an irreparable mistake because of this."

Gu Ruoxue couldn't help but sighed when she heard this: "You adjusted your mentality so quickly. You're right. I really don't want to get stuck in this quagmire and hurt others and myself. If I don't do this, then everyone may face an even worse situation."

Having said this, she paused and took a deep breath: "Unfortunately, it seems that we all don't have this opportunity."

"Senior sister..."

Li Guanqi was about to speak, but finally he could only shake his head, looking at the drink on the glass coffee table, and said, "What will you do if the task is completed on Saturday?"

"Completing one does not mean there will be no follow-up. If we don't find the root of the problem, I think it will be like adding fuel to the fire and serving Qin with land."

Gu Ruoxue remained calm. Based on her impression of this gentle schoolmate in front of her, she knew that she was not a blindly optimistic person. But she said this again. If it was not unintentional, it seemed that she attached great importance to her relationship with that person.

"Since you have realized the threat this incident poses to him, I suggest you focus on it and don't do anything unnecessary."

As Gu Ruoxue spoke, she stood up and walked to the kitchen to take a look. She didn't find any tea leaves or tea sets, so she could only shake her head regretfully and prepare to go back.

At this time, Li Guanqi, who seemed to be thinking about something, hesitated for a moment, and smiled at Gu Ruoxue who was walking back:

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Senior. I also want to help everyone, but I know nothing about this matter. I'm almost an outsider."

She paused and looked at Gu Ruoxue with hope.

"Senior, can you tell me about your past and your current attitude, so that I can fully understand the whole picture and help everyone."

Gu Ruoxue looked at Li Guanqi's expression and was stunned for a moment. Then she raised her voice a little with a hint of anger:

"Don't be so clever. You're still trying to take advantage of every opportunity, right? I will definitely say what I need to say. As for the rest, it depends on whether you have the ability to think of it!"

..............................

half an hour later

When Su Cheng came back with a bunch of things, he saw the two girls huddled together and whispering. This surprised him a little, but also very curious. He decided to ask Xiao Qiqi on his phone in the evening.

When the two girls saw him coming back, they stopped talking. Gu Ruoxue asked first, "Are you really going to use a crude and crude cheating method to solve the chess game tomorrow?"

"Uh……"

Su Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Guanqi actually told Gu Ruoxue about this. However, he did not deny the plan. Instead, he nodded frankly: "If we want her to win happily, we have to resort to this clumsy cheating method."

Gu Ruoxue frowned when she heard this: "Stupid!"

Her voice was a little stern: "Don't you think she can't see it? Her five senses are already different from those of ordinary people. Not only will it not work, it will be counterproductive!"

Chapter 358: The Qi of the Taoism in the Discussion

"Then what should I do? If I play Go with him, he won't be able to win to his heart's content. And since I stood her up a few days ago, who knows what drastic action she will take!"

Su Cheng's face was full of distress.

He also thought that this cheating method was stupid, but he really had no choice. How happy he was to use the power of chess to cheat at that time, how uncomfortable he felt now.

"It's all your own fault. If it weren't for your vanity, why would you be dragged into this matter?"

Gu Ruoxue criticized him bluntly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Su Cheng's cheating behavior.

Su Cheng was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head. He just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Senior, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on him. It is mainly me. I took the initiative to intervene in the first place, so I am the culprit."

Seeing this, Li Guanqi stood up to defend Su Cheng.

Gu Ruoxue glanced at Li Guanqi and said calmly, "So, you know that this behavior is inappropriate?"

Li Guanqi was silent, lowered his head, his two little hands entangled helplessly on his knees, and pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond to Gu Ruoxue's words.

Because she understood the subtext between the words: the general meaning is that leaving Su Cheng to you will only spoil him, and you are not suitable to take care of him.

"Did you come here specifically to preach to us?"

Su Cheng threw the ingredients on the ground, looking a little unhappy, and continued, "It has already happened, and I know it was wrong. No matter how much you blame me, it won't change this."

The two girls were quite surprised at Su Cheng's rare angry state. Li Guanqi was slightly stunned. She looked at Su Cheng with complicated eyes and explained: "Actually, since you said so, there must be a way to solve this matter."

"Oh, really?"

Su Cheng was a little surprised and looked at Gu Ruoxue, only to find that Gu Ruoxue was staring at him with her beautiful eyes wide open, with accusations written all over her pretty face.

When he saw this, he felt as if struck by lightning. He was instantly petrified, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open, and his head buzzing.

She is so strong and resolute, yet she looks so weak and aggrieved!

This made Su Cheng panic, but she also understood the crux of the problem, which was that he was mean to her for Li Guanqi.

"Well, everyone has worked hard just now. Xiaoxue, I bought you some ice cream. Let's eat some ice cream to cool down."

At this moment, Su Cheng couldn't care less. He quickly squatted down, took out the panda-shaped ice cream he had just bought from the supermarket from the plastic bag and handed it to Gu Ruoxue, trying to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Hearing Xiaoxue's intimate call, Li Guanqi's eyes dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal.

Gu Ruoxue looked at the panda shape on the ice cream packaging, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her slender hand to take the ice cream.

Seeing this, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then took out an old popsicle and handed it to Li Guanqi, saying, "Eat this."

Li Guanqi was stunned. She looked at this hard old popsicle which had very low calories, probably only 35 calories.

Subconsciously, he glanced at Gu Ruoxue's sweet and soft panda-shaped ice cream next to him, and for a moment he stood there, not reaching out his hand.

Seeing Li Guanqi's reaction, Su Cheng immediately explained: "This popsicle tastes great, and the sugar content is relatively low. Try it!"

Su Cheng understands the way of balance.

You see, Gu Ruoxue has already torn open the box, gently bit the panda's ear, and closed her eyes.

It was as if as soon as she closed her eyes, all the conflicts in the world disappeared, and the only thing left in her mouth was the rich and tempting aroma of ice cream, a unique mixture of milk and chocolate, which was intoxicating.

At this time, Li Guanqi also understood why Su Cheng bought her this kind of popsicle. Because she had eaten too many sweets with Ji Qingyi and the others in the past few days.

She stretched out her hand and took the popsicle with trembling hands. It could be seen from her shaking hands that she also wanted to eat the sweet panda ice cream.

Unfortunately, Su Cheng pretended to know nothing and began to sort the items in the plastic bag.

So she looked at the popsicle, opened the package, and then took a small bite.

But it was so funny that I couldn't even bite it.

At this time, Su Cheng also took out an old popsicle and sat opposite them. He opened it and began to lick the popsicle. After taking a bite, he looked directly at the two women and found that both women were licking the top of the popsicle with their little pink tongues.

"Gulu~"

Su Cheng swallowed and quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at the two women. He secretly cursed himself for being a pervert and frantically tried to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.

"Um... Minister, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the three people seemed to have eased a lot, Su Cheng took the opportunity to ask.

Gu Ruoxue licked the remaining ice cream at the corner of her mouth and said slowly, "I suggest you play Go with her. Maybe it can achieve the desired effect."

"Go?" Su Cheng shook his head and refused. "I don't even know the rules of Go. Even if I study Go all night, it's just a last-minute effort and won't have any effect at all."

Li Guanqi next to him seemed to understand Gu Ruoxue's intention. After a moment's silence, he suddenly said, "Senior, could it be that you..."
