Xia Zhi sat at the door of the store, clasping her chin with her hands, looking at the people passing by in the square.
Some people are rushing to the gate of the association headquarters. Maybe they are late for the scheduled assessment.
Someone came out of a star card store and entered another star card store, probably comparing the quality and price of cards.
Someone was sitting on a small stone pier in the square, looking around, probably waiting for someone? The sun was a bit bright today, so he couldn't help but pull his collar with one hand, and fanned with a magazine in the other hand...
But what does this have to do with myself?
"Brother Gu Ci, if you don't come down, I really have to leave."
Xia Zhi pouted and thought to herself for the third time.
Next to her were two big bags containing meat, vegetables and fruits.
The green vegetable leaves were originally stained with water drops, which made them particularly fresh and looked crystal clear in the sunlight.
But now the water drops have been dried.
"Brother Gu Ci took so long to make cards..."
Xia Zhi guessed that Gu Ci was making cards, and when making cards, Gu Ci never looked at his phone.
But she still wanted to wait and see.
Let's wait ten more minutes. If Brother Gu Ci doesn't come down in ten minutes, she will...
Wait another ten minutes!
"Dong dong dong..."
Xia Zhi suddenly heard the sound of someone coming downstairs behind her, her eyes lit up and she turned her head.
"Third floor, second floor, first floor..."
The girl counted silently in her mind, and then saw the face she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Brother Gu Ci."
Xia Zhi's voice sounded sweet and happy, and her eyes were full of joy.
The vest that Brother Gu Ci is wearing, he has a good figure...
Gu Ci ran over to open the door and said with a smile: "Get up first, your pants are dirty."
"Oh, right!" Xia Zhi quickly patted her butt and stood up.
She was dressed very coolly today, with only a white short-sleeved shirt with cartoon patterns printed on it. The hem of the shirt was tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, revealing her long, fair, straight legs... No, I should say short legs.
The girl is not tall, but has a good-looking figure.
The proportions between the big and small legs are perfect, and the lines are slender and well-proportioned. She is the kind of person who cannot bear to look away after just one look at her.
Xia Zhi bent down to get the bag, but Gu Ci got there first.
"You lock the door."
"Okay!" - click!
A U-shaped lock that passes through two door handles and does not require a key when locking.
Gu Ci led the girl upstairs: "Why aren't you at home with your parents?"
Xia Zhi: "I'll accompany you, but they have something to do in the afternoon and have to go to the army, so they kicked me out too."
She was really kicked out.
Xia's mother thought that since there was no one at home and her daughter would be bored at home alone, she might as well go back to school early to play with her classmates, so she asked Driver Xia to take a special detour and send Xia Zhi to Xinglan City.
Xia Zhi doesn't mind this either. Xia's mother and driver Xia are often very busy, which is understandable.
This is how she developed her cooking skills bit by bit.
Later, the family invited an aunt, and she would still cook from time to time to cook meals for Xia's mother and Driver Xia.
…
Come to the fourth floor.
The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Gu Ci couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Brother Gu Ci, were you ready to take a bath just now?"
Xia Zhi didn't smell the scent of shower gel on Gu Ci, and her hair was dry, so it definitely hadn't been freshly washed.
Gu Ci casually put the dishes on the table: "Xingwu should be in it."
Of course he wasn't wearing a tank top and shorts just for taking a shower, but he hadn't changed them since he got up.
I didn't plan to go out originally, so I was too lazy to change because I was wearing something comfortable like this.
"It's Sister Xingwu..." Xia Zhi nodded, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Brother Gu Ci was wearing so little, as if he had just woken up, and Sister Xingwu was taking a shower again...
The girl's cheeks suddenly became hot.
Gu Ci noticed something strange about the girl: "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhi blushed and said, "No, it's okay. Brother Gu Ci, please rest for a while. I'll go cook."
After saying that, he lowered his head and quickly walked into the kitchen carrying the dishes Gu Ci had just put on the table.
So embarrassing...
Xia Zhi had actually guessed that Brother Gu Ci and Sister Xingwu might have passed each other, but she still felt so embarrassed when they actually met her. Besides, wasn't it broad daylight? Woohoo...
Gu Ci didn't know that Xia Zhi thought of something happy, so he thought the sun was too strong and the girl was too hot, so he closed the window in the living room and turned on the air conditioner.
I also went back to my room and changed into more conservative pajamas.
Xingwu spends most of his time in Cali, and he is barely the only one in the house.
In this weather, it is appropriate to wear a vest and shorts without turning on the air conditioner.
But when Xia Zhi is here, he can't let Xia Zhi wear a vest too, right?
Xingwu walked out of the bathroom, as if she knew Gu Ci had turned on the air conditioner.
The silk pajamas turned into cotton pajamas, which were still very long.
The whole body was wrapped up tightly, and even the calves could not be seen.
The clavicle cannot be seen either.
Although the person is still very beautiful, Gu Ci still wants to give this nightgown a bad review... Wait, this nightgown seems to be his?
That's okay.
Find an opportunity to come back.
"Why did you suddenly think of taking a bath?" Gu Ci asked.
When he asked this question, Xing Wu couldn't help but think of the feeling of being held just now. A blush flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "You can wash it if you want."
Gu Ci: "Oh."
Xing Wu glanced at the kitchen: "Is Xia Zhi in there?"
"Yeah." Gu Ci nodded, "I'm cooking."
Xing Wu went to say hello to Xia Zhi, and then returned to Kali to take some time to have dinner.
"How long will it take for your injury to fully recover?" Gu Ci asked.
"About a year?" Xing Wu was not sure.
The energy card is filled up every day, but the recovery speed is still the same.
She even vaguely felt that it was a little slower than when she was on the Oriental Dove.
Gu Ci: "Wait for me in Kali tonight."
Star Dancer: "??!"
Is this guy... can't bear it any longer?
Gu Ci: "Wait until I understand the principle of your ancient star card, and I will cure you in minutes!"
Star Dance: "Oh."
It turned out to be to help me heal my wounds.
Xingwu felt a little touched.
But more than anything, she wondered if this guy was looking for an excuse to get in her door.
After all, he is an old man and has to be careful.
Gu Ci went to the card-making room to clean up the table and then went to the kitchen.
He walked quietly, leaning against the door frame and watching the girl chopping vegetables.
Xia Zhi wore an apron and looked very serious.
She pressed the coriander on the chopping board with her little hands, without exposing her fingertips, and pressed the kitchen knife with her knuckles, chopping quickly.
A small bunch of coriander quickly turns into minced coriander.
The stew pot next to the girl is still smoking, and it must be stewing ribs.
Gu Ci remembered that he had noticed at a glance that there were ribs in the vegetable bag.
The minced coriander was put into a small bowl and set aside - in fact, you shouldn't chop the coriander at this time, because it will be used at the end.
It's just that Xia Zhi is still digesting the embarrassing thing just now, her mind is buzzing, and she cuts whatever she picks up.
When he turned his head, he realized that Gu Ci was standing at the door looking at him.
"Brother Gu Ci..." Xia Zhi's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Ci thought the girl was being shy, so he smiled, walked over and said, "Come, let's do it together."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Gu Ci, you can go and rest. I can be alone."
"I'm not tired, why should I rest?"
"...Are you really not tired?"
"It's not tiring." How can he, a great star card master, be tired by making some sixth-level star cards?
"Oh." Brother Gu Ci is in such good health...
"Leave the chopping to me, and you'll be in charge of the spoons."
Gu Ci casually picked up the washed potatoes in the basket and started peeling them, which seemed quite skillful.
If you look closely, you will find that the skin Gu Ci peeled off is very thin, almost like scraping.
This is what happens when you make a lot of cards, and your hands will become very flexible and have a sense of proportion.
Xia Zhi didn't notice this at all.
While washing other dishes, she secretly glanced at Gu Ci, her cheeks flushed, and she was thinking, since Brother Gu Ci is in such good health...
It will be a pleasure to cook with him!
Xia Zhi closed her eyes and shook her head, clearing her mind of all the messy things.
Wash the vegetables!
Wash vegetables carefully!
Xia Zhi finally got into the mood and soon transformed into a professional little cook.
Heat the pot, stir-fry the ingredients, remove the ribs, add water to the pot, simmer, and then wash a new pot to simmer the water spinach...
It seems that every step has been thought out in advance and done in an orderly manner.
The movements are smooth and do not appear to be fussy at all.
In addition, Gu Ci was helping to cut vegetables.
In less than an hour, tonight's dinner of four dishes and one soup was ready.
"You're really capable." Gu Ci praised.
"Brother Gu Ci is good at cutting vegetables." Xia Zhi said with a smile, her eyes were very pretty.
Businesses blow each other up.
Gu Ci helped the girl untie the apron from her waist, hung it up, and served two plates of food: "Let's go eat."
"We still need some water, I'll do it. Brother Gu Ci, go and call Sister Xingwu." Xia Zhi said.
Gu Ci: "Okay."
When I walked out of the kitchen, I realized that there was no need to shout. Xingwu was already sitting and waiting.
If she really wants to eat, she is still very active!
Although it seems like he feels like an uncle, Xingwu actually doesn't want to be an uncle.
If there wasn't enough time, she would have gone to the kitchen to cause trouble... No, she would have gone to the kitchen to help!
After a while, the food was served.
Gu Ci gave the order: "Let's move!"
Xia Zhi: "Okay!"
First he stood up and served a bowl of hoof flower soup to Xingwu.
Then he served Gu Ci a bowl, and finally himself.
The order of picking up the dishes is as above.
"Sister Xingwu, eat more and beautify yourself!"
"Well, you eat too."
Was Xingwu infected by Xia Zhi's enthusiasm, and suddenly felt that having more sisters would be good?
In this way, a dinner for three people ended in a warm atmosphere.
"It really feels like home." Gu Ci sighed.
Then Xing Wu and Xia Zhi each received a blank stare.
Although they are all gradually accepting this fact, a scumbag is still a scumbag, and a big pig's hooves is still a big pig's hooves. This will never change!
After putting away the dishes, Xia Zhi put all the remaining unused dishes in the refrigerator, preparing to cook them the next time he comes over.
"Okay, Brother Gu Ci, take me back to school."
"good."
In fact, there are two vacant rooms on the fourth floor, one is for Star Dance and the other is a guest room.
It's just that Gu Ci felt that it was a little bit uncomfortable to leave the girl overnight, so he didn't say anything.
Gu Ci went back to the room to get his coat and asked Xing Wu, "Do you want to come with me?"
Xingwu: "You didn't call me, so I won't go."
Gu Ci: "Then wait until I come back to study the star card."
Xingwu: "We'll talk about it when you get back."
She hasn't decided yet whether to let this guy in or not.
Xingkashi Plaza was some distance away from Xinglan Academy, so Gu Ci hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
Both of them sat in the back seat, quietly and not chatting.
Xia Zhi leaned her head on Gu Ci's shoulder, recalling the scene of cooking with Gu Ci in the afternoon, feeling peaceful and satisfied.
Until he accidentally thought of Gu Ci wearing a vest, and his face quietly turned red.
Brother Gu Ci has such a good figure.
My body is also in great shape, I don’t even feel tired...
Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and found that she didn't seem to have any sour feelings about this matter from beginning to end.
Maybe it’s because you know that you and Brother Gu Ci haven’t reached that point yet?
It's a bit too early... But if it's just a kiss, it shouldn't matter, right?
If possible, Xia Zhi doesn't want to fall too far behind, otherwise he will be really upset.
When we arrived at Xinglan Academy, the taxi pulled over and stopped.
Gu Ci rubbed the girl's head: "Go and get some rest early."
Xia Zhi: "Yeah, so is Brother Gu Ci."
After saying that, she opened the car door first, then put one foot outside the car, and then took a deep breath.
He turned around suddenly and pecked Gu Ci on the face.
Then get off the car quickly.
The car door closed with a bang.
Ran into the school.
The movements are crisp and neat, done in one go.
Gu Ci didn't even respond.
After being stunned for a while, he touched his face, smiled and shook his head.
The driver's uncle said expressionlessly: "Go back?"
Gu Ci nodded: "Go back."
Perhaps due to some kind of stimulation, the driver drove very fast this time, a full ten minutes faster than when he came here.
Return home.
Gu Ci first released all the maids who had been prepared.
Have conversations one by one and check your IQ.
And take the laptop to the purchasing maid.
The purchasing maid is familiar with the process and opens the browser.
Log in to the official website of the association, purchase a batch of six-level white cards, and finally enter the transaction password to pay for the order.
Gu Ci nodded with satisfaction, put away the maids, took the bath towel and went to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, it's the exciting moment.
The ancient star card was lying quietly on the pillow, in the same position as last night, and had not moved all day.
Gu Ci: "Am I coming in?"
Star Dancer: "...Should we wait any longer?"
She was still a little panicked.
If Gu Ci really wanted to be tough, she couldn't resist seriously.
What if Gu Ci is hurt?
Gu Ci expressed his understanding of Xing Wu's nervous mood.
After ten minutes, he asked again: "Can you come in now?"
Star Dance: "...wait a moment."
She didn't know whether her face was red or not, but Xing Wu could feel her heartbeat gradually speeding up.
Another ten minutes passed.
Gu Ci: "Miss Xingwu, it's just a matter of time, I'm coming in."
Xingwu: "You, please promise me first not to do anything bad!"
Gu Ci: "Don't worry, you can always trust Gu Ci."
A man's mouth is a liar, Xing Wu actually understands this truth.
No matter from which perspective, allowing Gu Ci to come in tonight means allowing Gu Ci to come in in the future.
Once and twice, Gu Ci's name was called "Excessive".
If you do it too often, something will happen.
Deliberately asking more questions is just to relieve your own tension and give yourself more courage.
Xingwu bit her lip and finally made up her mind: "Come in."
Gu Ci comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it will be over in a moment."
Gu Ci put his palm on the ancient star card and activated the star power.
