Chapter 49: Speechless
"Shuping is back, how many times have I told you not to be so tired, you have been going to the library for so long, and you have to come out for a walk." Liu Yingai didn't know whether to be relieved or sad, her son worked so hard.
Gong Baorou clenched her fists and felt the coldness of her fingers. She was afraid that she would hear Liu Yingai's exclamation in the next sentence, and then she would find out that the culprit was her, and she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
However, until Liu Yingai went upstairs, Gong Baorou didn't hear the voice she thought she would hear. Gong Baorou walked out of the kitchen with a little caution and some expectations.
Lin Shuping was about to go upstairs, and when he saw Gong Baorou coming out of the kitchen, he stopped, he walked to Gong Baorou in a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" โ
Gong Baorou looked at him carefully, and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing." Then, she coughed, covered her heart, and asked, "...... rice balls at noon today?"
Lin Shuping touched her head: "It's delicious." โ
Gong Baorou felt a little strange, and asked tentatively: "Have you eaten it?" โ
Lin Shuping paused, but still nodded: "Hmm." โ
He's lying to her! Gong Baorou pursed her lips and continued to ask: "I added some different ingredients today, have you eaten them?" โ
Lin Shuping thought for a while: "Sorry, no." โ
Gong Baorou sighed exaggeratedly: "It seems that my cooking skills are still not enough, work hard next time." She looked at Lin Shuping, she had lost interest in talking, and the irritability of the days made her feel very bad, she gently pushed Lin Shuping and said, "You go and rest." I'm going to cook. โ
"Okay." Lin Shuping nodded, and both of them heard footsteps coming from the stairs, so Lin Shuping smiled very lightly, this smile was even slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and then turned around and went upstairs.
It was Zhao Xiuxiu who came down, she and Lin Shuping passed by, and Lin Shuping nodded to her.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiuxiu pulled her to sit down, "Your face is so ugly?" Didn't sleep well? โ
"No, it's just a little irritable lately." Gong Baorou touched her face, "Mom, let's make dinner today, okay?" โ
"I didn't want you to do it in the first place." Zhao Xiuxiu said with a smile, "You've been busy all day today, haven't you noticed your phone?" โ
"What?" Gong Baorou looked at it, and the phone had been turned off because it was out of power, "Ah, I forgot to charge it." โ
Zhao Xiuxiu smiled helplessly and said, "There is a gentleman surnamed Zhao who came to me because he couldn't get through to your phone." โ
"Is there anything important?" Gong Baorou knew it was Zhao Pengcheng when she heard it. He hadn't looked for her in a while. What is it that would be so urgent to find her?
"It shouldn't be a very important thing, he asked you to call him tonight because of the assessment of your intermediate chef qualification certificate this time."
Isn't that a big deal? Gong Baorou was almost speechless, she hurriedly got up and returned to the room with her mobile phone. Zhao Xiuxiu said in the back: "Don't worry, don't worry, watch the road carefully, remember to come down to eat!" โ
Before the words fell, Gong Baorou had already slipped on the stairs.
With a bit of wolf bรจi, Gong Baorou hurriedly returned to the room and plugged in the mobile phone. As soon as the mobile phone was turned on, more than a dozen missed call prompts jumped out, Gong Baorou wiped the cold sweat that was not at all at all, and called back to Zhao Pengcheng.
As soon as Zhao Pengcheng answered the phone, he naturally sneered at him, and Gong Baorou flattered him. No way, who let her be wrong?
After talking for a long time, Zhao Pengcheng was satisfied, and finally got down to business: "Although the intermediate chef assessment does not require you to bring your own materials, you are also allowed to bring your own materials, so we have to prepare more things." You pack up, and I'll take you to a place in a few days, and there's a lot of good material there. โ
"Materials? Good. Gong Baorou smiled, she didn't know how many materials she had seen, although some of them she couldn't materialize now, but they were enough to use now.
"Just these few days, when I take care of the matter at hand, you bring a change of clothes for a few days, that place will be very remote."
"No problem." How could Gong Baorou refuse the kindness of others, not to mention, she also felt that she needed to go out for a walk recently.
Zhao Pengcheng quickly set the time three days later, Gong Baorou told Zhao Xiuxiu and Liu Yingai about going out, Zhao Xiuxiu was more and more relieved of her daughter, so there was nothing to worry about, but Liu Yingai was asking what to bring.
Gong Baorou didn't tell Lin Shuping about this, maybe because he was too busy.
Gong Baorou is not really a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who has never been far away, so she doesn't feel excited or nervous at all, she is well-organized
Packed up her clothes and toiletries in an orderly manner, but the night before leaving, Gong Baorou still decided to go to Lin Shuping.
Zhao Xiuxiu has already helped her ask for leave, and Zhao Pengcheng has also made an appointment to leave after eating early tomorrow morning.
Just go and see him, nothing.
Gong Baorou thought so. Although they are a couple, they always lack a little bit of atmosphere and feeling between lovers, Gong Baorou knows what kind of character Lin Shuping is, so she still needs to take the initiative.
The night was even darker because of the faint light of the street lamp, Gong Baorou walked on the side of the road, watching the pedestrians hurrying, and her steps couldn't help but speed up a little.
Gong Baorou didn't know if she should be happy, in the eyes of her classmates, she was Lin Shuping's cousin, so when she asked where Lin Shuping was, she got the address very smoothly.
"Lin Shuping, he should be in Teacher Bai's office now." A male classmate pushed his glasses and said.
"yes, thank you." Miyaho thanked him and began to turn in the direction of the office.
Teacher Bai? Bai Xia? Gong Baorou vaguely knew something, so after she knocked on the door, she was not surprised to see that it was Bai Xia who came out to open the door.
"Are you...... Oh, it's Shuping's sister, right? Bai Xia smiled lightly, "Come to find Shuping?" โ
Gong Baorou chuckled, Shuping? She didn't believe that Lin Shuping would be as close to her as she came out.
"Yes, I'm here to find Brother Shuping." Gong Baorou had no intention of entanglement with her at all.
"He's talking to my dad, so I'm going to ask." Bai Xia nodded.
Gong Baorou suddenly felt that it was a mistake to come tonight, and she might not be able to see Lin Shuping this time.
Really.
"I'm sorry, he can't get out of it now, are you in a hurry? I can tell him. Bai Xia looked at Gong Baorou with a little apology, but Gong Baorou saw hostility and wariness in her eyes.
Women are born with a certain intuition, especially when it comes to the object of their affection.
"Nothing, thank you." Gong Baorou looked at Bai Xia, this girl has a bit of gentleness unique to Chinese women, with long hair and shawls, she may be the goddess of many people's dreams, but she knows very well that Lin Shuping will not have any sparks with her at all, as long as she Gong Baorou is still in the day.
"I'll go first, I'll bother you."
"Nothing."
When she returned home, she saw Liu Yingai's eyes full of concern, and Gong Baorou smiled. That's her trump card.
"Auntie, I went to find Brother Shuping, but I couldn't see him, I'm sorry."
"What's so sorry about this." Liu Yingai waved her hand, she was very relieved of her son.
Gong Baorou smiled bitterly: "Brother Shuping is talking about a topic for a sister, don't let me disturb." โ
Liu Yingai's eyes moved, and after seeing Gong Baorou's expression, she had a guess in her heart, but this is not a bad thing, at least Liu Yingai thinks it's nothing.
"I'm going to sleep, Aunt Yingai should rest early." Gong Baorou looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock.
"Well, rest early, you have to wake up early tomorrow morning." Liu Yingai touched her face, a little distressed.
Gong Baorou nodded, and when she went out the next day, she handed over a letter she had written last night to Zhao Xiuxiu.
"Mom will help me hand it over to Brother Shuping, okay?"
"Don't worry, there's no problem."
Carrying a backpack and a suitcase, Gong Baorou got into Zhao Pengcheng's car.
