Chapter 34: Poor Gu Cheng
"Are you alright?" Jiang Xiao looked at Li Yiming's red lips, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao looked away and glared at Gu Cheng, who was leaving the table, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
The housekeeper who was sitting immediately stood up, poured another glass of water for Li Yiming, and glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of accusing him of being ignorant.
Li Yiming took the glass of water with anxiety, and the apprehension in his heart caused him to feel uncomfortable drinking water.
When Li Yiming noticed Jiang Xiao's worried look, he couldn't help but panic, and the cup in his hand shook slightly.
Immediately, Li Yiming lowered his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt the staring gaze from elsewhere, and he nodded in recognition.
"I ...... I'm fine. β
As soon as Li Yiming's words fell, Gu Cheng's eyes revealed a hint of joy, and he quietly began to continue to serve vegetables for Jiang Xiao, thus shifting his attention to Jiang Xiao's body.
Gu Cheng had a deep possessiveness in his heart, but he never said it explicitly, nor did he care about the unwillingness to give up.
Jiang Xiao helplessly ate the extra food in the bowl, and when the two people on the opposite side were not paying attention, he put the food aside and ate quietly, as if he didn't have the same worries as he did at the beginning.
"I don't know if that proposal I just made is feasible?" Feeling that there was a lot of food in his belly, Jiang Xiao didn't do more chopsticks.
Glancing at Gu Cheng obliquely, seeing that he was still smiling with a smile in his eyes, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but hold his forehead.
The two people sitting opposite were slightly stunned for a moment, especially Li Yiming, who was immersed in hard work, felt a shiver rise, especially afraid of being slapped to death by Gu Cheng, who was looking at the hot sight opposite.
Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Li Yiming raised his head and smiled dryly, looking at Jiang Xiao waiting for his reply expectantly, and he couldn't tell Gu Cheng's identity, which was really a bit of a headache.
"Can't you?" I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, this silent waiting made the expectation in Jiang Xiao's eyes gradually disappear, and the chopsticks in his hand were unconsciously placed next to the plate, showing a trace of disappointment on his face.
Li Yiming, who wanted to ignore Jiang Xiao, suddenly withered, and pouted helplessly.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Cheng, seeing that he still looked indifferent, and couldn't help but start to worry about Jiang Xiao's IQ.
"It's not that it can't, it's just, do you know what he did before?" In desperation, Li Yiming couldn't help but want to change the topic and began to ask Jiang Xiao if he knew Gu Cheng's true body.
Jiang Xiao, who had just picked up a glass of water and drank a sip, heard this, and the water in her throat was not either, nor was it down, so it was blocked in her throat, which made her frown slightly.
As if sensing something, Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and put it directly on Jiang Xiao's back, patting it gently, revealing a trace of concern in his eyes, which he didn't even notice himself.
This made Li Yiming, who was usually used to seeing Gu Cheng's cold face, slightly stunned, and didn't know what to say for an instant, so he unconsciously moved his eyes elsewhere, for fear that if he looked at Gu Cheng for a while, that look would eat him.
When she noticed that the warm hand was on her back, Jiang Xiao responded slightly in her heart, and suddenly slapped his hand in a panic.
"Actually, I'm just a classmate with him!" Jiang Xiao stood up in a panic and looked at Li Yiming and the housekeeper, explaining righteously.
However, Jiang Xiao forgot the panic in her eyes, as well as the blankness of her thoughts when lying, and her intermittent words expressed her inner unconfidence, but she had to say so.
Li Yiming turned his head and saw the distance between the two, and there was a trace of consternation in his eyes.
For a moment, Li Yiming felt as if he had discovered something terrible, which caused him to be unable to react.
"I'm going to wash my hands." Jiang Xiao walked away in a panic, not daring to look at Gu Cheng's gaze at all, nor noticing the loss in his eyes.
Looking at the road ahead, her heartbeat was beating very fast, and at this moment she wanted to escape inexplicably.
Gu Cheng, who had been silent, turned cold at the moment when he kept his distance from Jiang Xiao, and looked at her departing back until the end.
"If you don't agree, you're ready to go somewhere else!" Gu Cheng turned to look at Li Yiming, walked over there, and couldn't help but pour out a cold voice in his ear, as if saying something that was not a big deal.
His body was also exuding a coercive momentum, and his eyes revealed a strong dissatisfaction, as if he had made Jiang Xiao's actions so intense.
This couldn't help but make Li Yiming a little flustered, looking at Gu Cheng's cold face, he scratched his head very embarrassed, didn't know what to say, turned his eyes to his own father for help, but saw that the housekeeper looked helpless, he immediately nodded in recognition, lowered his head and complained in his heart that Gu Cheng was a demon.
Jiang Xiao washed his hands, wiped the water clean, and calmed down his emotions before walking back to the dining table.
"Li Yiming, what I said just now, is it really impossible?" Looking at Li Yiming, who was lowering her head, she couldn't help but ask the result again, but she didn't notice the panic in people's eyes.
Feeling the coercion of the gaze behind him, Li Yiming couldn't help but feel an uncomfortable feeling on his back, and a thin layer of sweat gradually overflowed on his forehead, and even the thoughts in his mind suddenly became confused, and he lowered his gaze in a little panic, and put the rice bowl he was holding on the table.
"Of course not, I'm sure I can help!" In order to prevent this terrifying feeling from spreading, Li Yiming hurriedly replied.
"Thank you so much, I'll serve you dinner!" Jiang Xiao walked over excitedly, and saw that there was not much rice in his bowl, so he directly picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.
Getting this special treatment was something Li Yiming didn't expect at all, and at the same time, the gaze behind him disappeared, which made him feel like he was letting himself go.
Ignoring Gu Cheng's gaze, Li Yiming raised his eyebrows proudly, and he didn't show the sense of retreat that Gu Cheng had when he suppressed him at the beginning.
"Stinky boy!" Gu Cheng watched Jiang Xiao walk towards the kitchen with great interest, his eyes revealed a trace of displeasure, and the vinegar jar in his heart was poured out because of this, his face suddenly turned black and not slippery, not looking good at all.
Gu Cheng's eyes stared at Li Yiming with a cold gaze, but at this moment, for him, there was no fluctuation in his heart, only a trace of the urge to laugh.
At this moment, Li Yiming couldn't help but smile, and Gu Cheng's face was a little darker.
The housekeeper looked at Gu Cheng's gradually darkened face, bumped Jiang Xiao who was still serving Li Yiming with his elbow, and motioned to look at Gu Cheng with his eyes.
Gu Cheng was still holding the dishes with chopsticks at the moment, but there was no rice in the bowl.
Jiang Xiao glanced at Gu Cheng and didn't understand what the housekeeper meant, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing Jiang Xiao's appearance, the housekeeper hurriedly whispered in Jiang Xiao's ear: "Young grandma, do you want to help Mr. Gu serve rice too?" β
Why do you want to give Gu Cheng a meal? Jiang Xiao didn't understand.
She is asking Li Yiming to be so good to Li Yiming, and Gu Cheng didn't help her, won't she eat by herself?
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "He's not a child, he can't serve food yet?" β
Then, Jiang Xiao put the bowl of rice in front of Li Yiming and sat down.
Gu Cheng raised his head and glanced at the housekeeper, and the look in his eyes was self-evident.
The housekeeper took a deep breath behind Jiang Xiao's back and turned his head away.
Li Yiming didn't feel the low pressure around Gu Cheng, and when he saw that the meal was coming, he put on a big smile at Jiang Xiao, and then said "thank you".
Jiang Xiao also smiled, and used chopsticks to clip a few chopsticks and green peppers to Li Yiming to stir-fry meat.
"Isn't it just a meal! What is there to thank, try this green pepper, it is particularly delicious today. β
Li Yiming took a bite and gave Jiang Xiao a thumbs up, "It's really delicious!" Jiang Xiao, you are amazing! β
"I didn't do it, what did you do to praise me?" Jiang Xiao said this, but his eyes were still full of smiles.
The two of them chatted about the dishes on the table, and they didn't notice that Gu Cheng's face was already black anymore.
Gu Cheng looked at the two of them quietly, but the movements in his hands were aggravated, and finally he poked the dishes in his bowl hard, making the butler's little heart flutter.
Hearing the movement, Jiang Xiao could see that Gu Cheng was not very happy, and smiled apologetically, but he also gave him a few chopsticks and the food on the table.
"You can also try this shredded potato, Yiming and I think it's pretty good."
Gu Cheng, who had a gloomy face, snorted coldly, his face improved, such a childish move made Jiang Xiao lower his head and secretly laugh at him.
Li Yiming looked at Gu Cheng in disbelief with a smile on the corner of his mouth, forgot to chew the food in his mouth, swallowed it directly, and choked himself at once.
"Ahem, ahemβ" Li Yiming coughed violently, attracting Jiang Xiao's attention.
Jiang Xiao subconsciously raised his hand and patted Li Yiming's back, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Soup, soup!"
Jiang Xiao listened, stood up and filled Li Yiming with an empty bowl.
After taking the bowl, Li Yiming raised his head and drank it all in one breath, until the last drop of soup was drunk, and he felt that the choked throat was much more comfortable.
"Why did you choke so well? By the way, do you still want it? Jiang Xiao continued to follow Li Yiming's back, his brows furrowed slightly.
"No need, I'm fine, I just accidentally choked on food." Li Yiming waved his hand at her, and then continued to eat.
Gu Cheng, who was in a better mood, his face sank again.
Why is there so much going on with this Li Yiming?
I want to serve rice again, and I want to drink soup again, and I want to instruct Jiang Xiao to instruct him!
It's just too much and annoying!
Unconsciously, Gu Cheng's strength in picking vegetables became heavier.
But except for the housekeeper, no one noticed Gu Cheng's little move.
