Before Gu Nianzhi could ask for more details, the automatic sprinkler system connected to the smoke alarm sprang to life.
Splash –!
Water sprayed out like a waterfall from the sprinklers installed on the roof, drenching Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu like drowned rats.
The kitchen, which had been exquisite and beautiful just a moment ago, instantly became the scene of a raining fire.
The automatic sprinkler system quickly dispersed the thick smoke in the kitchen.
The water gradually subsided, and He Zhichu protected Gu Nianzhi as they rushed out of the kitchen.
The two of them looked at each other at the kitchen door, then burst out laughing in unison.
He Zhichu's smile was still very restrained, but the corners of his lips curled up, and his cold expression softened slightly.
Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, laughed without restraint. She clutched her stomach and couldn't even stand properly.
He Zhichu couldn't take it anymore when she laughed like that.
He grabbed her arm and scolded her in a low voice, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go wash and change your clothes! Take a look at yourself! "
He Zhichu finished speaking and looked away uncomfortably.
Gu Nianzhi's laughter stopped abruptly.
She looked down and saw that the light pink silk blend cardigan she was wearing today was already soaked and stuck to her body, outlining the curves of her breasts …
She quickly covered her chest with her hands and ran to the bathroom with her head down.
He Zhichu rubbed his forehead and called out to her, "Go to the guest room opposite the master bedroom on the second floor. It's prepared for you. There are clothes for you to change into."
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks. She couldn't just wear it like that, so she turned and ran up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
The long hallway on the second floor was quiet and serene. There was a window at the end of the hallway, and a lamp hung in the hexagonal window. The paper lampshade in the shape of a full moon hung in the air, giving off a sense of isolation.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the lampshade and casually opened the door opposite the master bedroom.
The room was very large, and also a small suite. There was a small living room and living room outside, and a small entryway on the right.
A paper door blocked the other end of the entryway.
Gu Nianzhi opened the paper door and found the bedroom inside.
Thank goodness this wasn't the little pink princess room.
The decoration of the room was simple but elegant. It was mainly beige with light yellow accents.
On the bed, there was a blanket with a yellow duck embroidered on it.
The blanket didn't look big, but Gu Nianzhi found it unexpectedly familiar.
But she didn't have time to think and rushed into the bathroom in the bedroom.
The toiletries inside were also brands she was used to using, including the snow-white towel on the cabinet. It was also made of Egyptian cotton flannel, which was very soft and absorbent.
She undressed, turned on the water, and took a quick shower.
Wrapped in a towel, she came out and carefully examined the bedroom again.
The tall four-poster bed was neatly laid out with beige striped sheets. There was a big soft pillow on the bed and two light yellow pillows embroidered with little yellow ducks.
Gu Nianzhi walked over like she was possessed and touched the little yellow duck embroidered on the pillow.
This little yellow duck wasn't much different from the little yellow ducks sold in the market, but its eyes were especially big, which made it look especially lively.
She picked up the blanket with the little yellow duck embroidered on it and looked at it.
The blanket was soft to the touch and should have been woven from the finest fine cashmere. It was very difficult to embroider on this kind of blanket, and the cashmere flying silk of the blanket would be damaged if one wasn't careful.
But this little yellow duck was very skillfully embroidered. The stitches were dense, and it was obvious that it had many years of embroidery skills.
But it was a waste to use such excellent embroidery skills to embroider a simple and unassuming little yellow duck that didn't have any special features.
Gu Nianzhi cursed silently, but she couldn't help hugging the blanket and rubbing it on her face.
It was like the blanket that a child would hug when they were young.
Gu Nianzhi reluctantly put down the blanket and walked into the bedroom's closet to pick out clothes to wear.
She could tell that He Zhichu had really put a lot of thought into decorating the room here.
The four walls were filled with log wardrobes and shoe racks with clothes and shoes for spring, summer, and autumn.
There was also a long wardrobe in the middle of the closet that was half the height of a person.
Opening the drawers of the wardrobe, she saw underwear, scarves, belts, and other private clothes and accessories.
There was also a drawer with a lock that Gu Nianzhi didn't touch.
Blushing, she took out a set of underwear and went to the summer wardrobe to pick out the simplest set of black T-shirts and light blue skinny jeans.
Her legs were long, and the jeans only reached a little above her ankles.
So she picked out a pair of Isabel Marant shoes.
That was the brand she was used to. Huo Shaoheng bought her casual shoes from this brand most of the time.
When she finished packing and came down the stairs, she found that He Zhichu had already changed and was standing at the bottom of the stairs.
This was the brand she was used to. Huo Shaoheng bought her casual shoes from this brand most of the time.
There were people coming and going in the room.
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow.
When she came earlier, she didn't see anyone else here.
Hearing someone coming downstairs, He Zhichu turned around to look. His shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed slightly, but he quickly frowned and said dryly, "Is it suitable?"
"It's okay." Gu Nianzhi walked down. "It's just that the pants are a little short."
He Zhichu was speechless.
"Don't you wear this size?" He Zhichu remembered the size of Gu Nianzhi's clothes.
"… I used to, but now I've grown taller." Gu Nianzhi stretched out her long legs and kicked in the air.
He Zhichu was speechless.
"What are you so proud of?" He Zhichu looked away and crossed his arms. He said coldly, "What's the use of growing taller? Go cook if you can … "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
This was an unspeakable weight in their lives.
He Zhichu didn't know how to cook, and coincidentally, neither did Gu Nianzhi.
Their talents didn't seem to light up the skill of "cooking."
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Professor He, we're both 'incompetent cooks.' Why do we have to hurt each other? Come, it's my treat. What does Professor He want to eat? As long as it's not the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, I can afford it! "
"The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast only costs 40,000 to 50,000 RMB. You can't afford it?" He Zhichu glanced at her. "Leave your watch there. You can eat dozens of meals."
Gu Nianzhi covered her watch and shook her head. "That won't do. This is my priceless treasure. Even if I don't have food to eat, I won't pawn it."
"Are you stupid? You don't even have food to eat. What's a watch? "He Zhichu rubbed her head." You didn't blow-dry your hair? "
"It's getting hot. It'll dry in a while. I've already rubbed it until it's half-dry. " Gu Nianzhi pointed at the people coming and going between the kitchen and the living room. "Are you here to clean up the kitchen?"
"Yes, the kitchen needs to be renovated." He Zhichu said without changing his expression.
That was the scene of his failure. He needed to "destroy the evidence" and not let others see it.
Gu Nianzhi instantly understood He Zhichu's intentions. She laughed to herself and twirled the car keys in her hand. "Professor He, take my car. Let's go down the mountain to eat, okay?"
If she hadn't come today, she would bet 10 RMB that He Zhichu would have gone to bed after drinking red wine.
He Zhichu walked a few steps forward. "Then you'll drive me back?"
"Of course. I'll pay for everything. Professor He, you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor today! "Gu Nianzhi giggled as she walked to the door.
They went to the garage to get the car. Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu drove down the mountain to eat.
They didn't go far.
The West Mountain Villa District's facilities were very complete. The people who lived here were either rich or respectable. There were restaurants, shopping, fitness, and other entertainment facilities.
He Zhichu pointed the way and said, "Let's go to that Luhuitou restaurant. It's a Cantonese restaurant. The seafood is very authentic."
Gu Nianzhi, who was hungry, felt like she was about to drool when she heard this.
"Then we must try it later. Why didn't you tell us earlier that there was such a good place? Do they deliver food? Otherwise, we could order takeout … "Gu Nianzhi deliberately glanced at He Zhichu and sighed.
He Zhichu looked ahead expressionlessly and said indifferently, "… Eat your food. Stop talking so much."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She smiled as she drove the car into the parking lot and went to the entrance of the Luhuitou restaurant with He Zhichu.
There was a pair of red couplets with black characters on the door.
"There are great scholars who talk and laugh, and there are no commoners who come and go."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
This restaurant was really arrogant!
He Zhichu's expression was indifferent as he showed his membership card to the uniformed guard.
Only then did Gu Nianzhi know that this place adopted a membership system. Only members could come in and eat.
He Zhichu's membership card was the highest-end platinum card.
As soon as he showed his membership card, the restaurant manager immediately came over to personally serve him and Gu Nianzhi.
"Same old place," He Zhichu said indifferently. "Two people. Serve the dishes as soon as possible."
The manager's eyes flashed, but he didn't dare to refuse. He smiled and said, "Come with me. There are a little more people today, so please order first. Actually, Mr. He, why did you come here personally? Just give us a call and we'll send it up for you. "
He Zhichu nodded and his expression relaxed slightly. "Next time. Give us the menu and tell the kitchen to hurry up. "
He could tell that Gu Nianzhi was already very hungry.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, her eyes almost glowed when she saw the delicious dishes on the diners' tables …
The restaurant manager called the waiter over to help them order and rushed out to make a phone call. He said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, Miss Cai. There are no private rooms left today. Would you like to eat in the lobby? I'll leave you the best place in the lobby. It's by the window. I'll get someone to separate it with a screen. It's better than a private room. It's bright and you can also see the scenery outside the window. "
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little impatient. After discussing with someone for a while, she complained, "Didn't you say there were private rooms? I have something to discuss with my friend and have already walked to your restaurant's entrance. You said there were no private rooms left. Aren't you messing with me? "
"Miss Cai, I'm not messing with you. I also said that there was only one private room left. That was reserved for our platinum customers. No matter when, as long as he needs it, we have to give it to him. I thought he wouldn't come today, but unfortunately, he just brought someone here for dinner and entered the private room, so I'll have to trouble you. "
The restaurant manager said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Who didn't have a high status and wealth when they came to eat here?
Didn't they see what was written on their door?!
There are great scholars who talk and laugh, and there are no commoners who come and go!
In fact, it should be: there are great merchants who talk and laugh, and there are no commoners who come and go …
