At lunchtime, Ma Qiqi finally arrived at He Zhichu's suite in the professor's building.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door for her and smiled. "Qiqi, you came just in time. The food just arrived and it's piping hot!"
Ma Qiqi sniffed and her eyes lit up. She said intoxicatedly, "This smell is amazing! Did Professor He make it? I didn't expect Professor He to be such a good cook! "
Gu Nianzhi snickered. "Professor He's cooking skills are on par with mine. Qiqi, will you praise me?"
Ma Qiqi was speechless.
"Then who made this? Didn't you say it was pork and chicken from Professor He's organic farm? "Ma Qiqi was curious and looked at Gu Nianzhi suspiciously." You didn't really make it, did you? "
"Of course not. It's a chef from Professor He's farm." Gu Nianzhi smiled and let her in.
The two of them went to the dining room together.
They saw four simple dishes and one soup on the rectangular dining table.
There was a plate of home-style stir-fried pork with chili, a bowl of braised pork with syrup, a plate of brown and green garlic twice-cooked pork, and a plate of acorn tofu. In the middle was a large soup pot of goji berries and ginseng stewed chicken.
They looked like ordinary home-style dishes, but the aroma was surprisingly tempting.
Ma Qiqi immediately felt her taste buds swell.
She quickly sat down with Gu Nianzhi and asked curiously, "These are all vegetables and meat from Professor He's organic farm?"
He Zhichu nodded slightly. "They're all home-style dishes. Nianzhi ordered them." He glanced at Gu Nianzhi and didn't comment on her taste.
Gu Nianzhi giggled and picked up her chopsticks to say to Ma Qiqi, "Qiqi, try some. I've always believed that true culinary skills are demonstrated in home-style dishes. Everyone knows that abalone, ginseng, shark's maw is good food, so it's not surprising that it's delicious. But it's not easy to make simple home-style dishes taste like exotic delicacies. "
"Keep bragging. Even if these home-style dishes are delicious, they're just home-style dishes. " Ma Qiqi argued with Gu Nianzhi as she casually picked up a piece of stir-fried chili pork with the serving chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
When she put the stir-fried meat with a few strands of green chili peppers into her mouth, the meat aroma that made her taste buds extremely comfortable immediately made her squint her eyes. She almost meowed like a cat that had eaten a good fish.
"It's delicious, isn't it?" Gu Nianzhi smiled as she picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers with her chopsticks. "I won't lie to my beloved subject."
"Bah!" Ma Qiqi glared at Gu Nianzhi. "I've eaten all over the country, but your dishes are only ranked first! What are you showing off for?! "
"… Haha, as long as you like it." Gu Nianzhi made a face at her, and the two of them ate happily.
He Zhichu looked at the dishes and didn't have much of an appetite at first, but when he saw the two of them eating so happily, he also took a bite with his chopsticks.
He Zhichu chewed slowly and allowed his taste buds to adapt to the aroma of the food. He couldn't help but eat another bowl of rice.
After lunch, the three of them were a little lazy.
Gu Nianzhi managed to overcome her laziness and went to the kitchen to make three cups of cappuccino.
Ma Qiqi sipped the cappuccino as she chatted with Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, when I came, Brother Xiong just happened to call and asked what I was doing. I said I wanted to come to Professor He's for a free meal, but he immediately hung up. It seemed like he was very busy."
Gu Nianzhi blew on the hot cappuccino and looked down as she replied, "Oh," but didn't ask what he was busy with. She also intentionally reminded Ma Qiqi, "… Brother Xiong and his colleagues work like that. They get busy when they say they're busy. They didn't mean to hang up on you."
"Oh, I see." Ma Qiqi nodded without fully understanding and blushed. "Brother Xiong isn't usually like that. He hasn't been in contact much lately, so I thought …"
"You're thinking too much. Brother Xiong isn't that kind of person." Gu Nianzhi said seriously to reassure Ma Qiqi.
He Zhichu snickered and shook his head. He got up quietly. "You guys talk. I'll go check my email."
Gu Nianzhi also wanted to go back, so she gave Ma Qiqi a look and said to He Zhichu, "Professor He, please continue with your work. We'll go back first."
With Ma Qiqi there, He Zhichu couldn't just ask Gu Nianzhi to stay, so he could only nod. "Go back and prepare well. You can look for me if you have any difficulties."
"Oh! Thank you, Professor He! "Gu Nianzhi replied crisply and left He Zhichu's building with Ma Qiqi.
They chatted and laughed along the way. When they arrived at their own dorm, Ma Qiqi suddenly tugged on Gu Nianzhi's sleeve and whispered, "There's a man who's been following us for a long time …"
Gu Nianzhi had also noticed him since coming out of He Zhichu's building. However, unlike Ma Qiqi, Gu Nianzhi recognized the man.
He was Ye Xuan, Gu Yanran's little wolfdog.
Ye Xuan didn't say anything. He only followed them at a moderate pace, so Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything.
Anyway, it was noon, and they were walking on the campus's main road. There were students and staff coming and going, so even if Ye Xuan wanted to do something bad, he wouldn't be that stupid.
Was he tired of living to do something bad in front of so many people?
Also, Gu Nianzhi wasn't completely defenseless. She had a bottle of pepper spray, a small extendable electric baton, and a sharp knife in her bag.
If possible, she really wanted to bring a gun.
Of course, it was just a thought. The Hua Xia Empire prohibited guns, so it would be illegal for her to bring a gun with her.
She didn't expect Ye Xuan to follow them all the way to the female graduate students' dorm.
Gu Nianzhi said to Ma Qiqi, "You go up first."
"Are you okay?" Ma Qiqi looked at Gu Nianzhi worriedly, then looked at the tall man standing under the tree in front of the building.
The man had two thick black eyebrows, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He had the appearance of a typical mixed-race person, and he was a particularly handsome mixed-race person. He didn't look like a bad person, but there was something wrong with his gaze. He stared straight at Gu Nianzhi like he wanted to see through her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I know him. You go up first. "She paused, then said," If I'm not back in half an hour, call my phone. "
"Ok." Ma Qiqi agreed readily and went back to the dorm alone.
Gu Nianzhi walked to the tree in front of the dorm and looked at Ye Xuan. She said calmly, "Mr. Ye Xuan, Gu Yanran isn't here. You've come to the wrong place."
Ye Xuan stared at her with a conflicted expression on his face. With both hands in his trouser pockets, he subconsciously stomped on the ground with one foot and very stiffly called out her name, "Gu … Nianzhi?"
"Yes, you're here for me?" Gu Nianzhi's hands were also casually in her coat pockets. Her eyes flickered as she said disdainfully, "What's the meaning of sneaking around behind us?"
Ye Xuan looked down awkwardly. When he looked up again, his dark hair fell across his forehead, making his deep-set eyes look even more mesmerizing. There was an indescribable attraction in his amber eyes.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't really appreciate his hesitant way of speaking.
Birds of a feather flocked together. After spending so much time with Gu Yanran, Ye Xuan had also been infected with the same womanly habits.
In Gu Nianzhi's eyes, Ye Xuan was the same kind of person as Gu Yanran.
"Ok, if you have something to say, then say it. If not, please leave our school and stop following me. Otherwise, I'll call the police." Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and waved it. "I'm very busy. I don't have time to play riddles with you."
Ye Xuan's emotions were so complicated that he couldn't put them into words.
He didn't even know how he got through the past few days.
He was muddle-headed, just like a walking corpse.
When he thought about how he might have gotten the wrong person and not only did he not keep his promise to Uncle Gu to stay by her side for the rest of his life, take care of her, and protect her, but instead conspired with a liar to repeatedly harm her, Ye Xuan felt like his insides were burning. He wanted to stab himself a few times …
Gu Nianzhi saw that Ye Xuan still had his head down and didn't speak. She also felt annoyed and said dryly, "Ok, then I'm going up."
She turned to leave.
Ye Xuan finally reached out and grabbed her arm. He begged, "Don't go. I have something to tell you."
Gu Nianzhi looked back with a cold expression and looked at his hand holding her arm. "Let go."
Ye Xuan could only let go and said, "Gu Nianzhi, I really have something to tell you. You … You really don't remember me? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head in amusement. "Ye Xuan, is there something wrong with you? Or did Gu Yanran send you to be a lobbyist? I'm telling you, there's no need. Go back and tell her that I'm going to fight this lawsuit. I'm also going to fight for the family assets. I'll say it again. Tell her to wash her neck and wait for me to skin her! "
Ye Xuan frowned. "You're going to fight for the family assets with her. Do you know how much Uncle Gu left behind?"
"I don't know. That's why I have to fight this lawsuit. " Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "Of course, it's impossible to make her spit it out herself, so I have to go to court."
