Chapter 160: Overt and Covert Struggles! Yan Luoxi’s Mom Comes Knocking Again

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Overt and Covert Struggles! Yan Luoxi’s Mom Comes Knocking Again

Watching this, Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly.

While he was used to it, Su Qianqian and Fan Sisi, standing to the side, were both utterly shocked.

’It can even open and close the door by itself?’

’This... this isn’t just a little smart!’

’It’s practically a spirit!’

CLATTER~

The sound of falling chopsticks drew the gazes of both Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian.

Apparently, Fan Sisi had gotten distracted, and the piece of roast goose on her chopsticks had fallen, leaving a grease stain on her clothes.

"Oh, sorry. I’m going to go change."

Fan Sisi snapped out of it and spoke, a little embarrassed.

After saying that, she got up, went over to the living room, and opened her oversized suitcase. She took out a purple wool cardigan, then took off the baseball jacket she was wearing and put on the cardigan.

After changing, Fan Sisi returned to the dining table and sat back down.

"Brother Yizhou, does this outfit look good on me?"

She asked jokingly, as if it were a casual question.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou paused for a moment.

He first raised his head and glanced at Fan Sisi.

To be honest, after changing her jacket, Fan Sisi’s whole vibe had changed quite a bit.

She went from having the sunny, playful vibe of the girl next door to that of a young woman with a touch of mature charm.

’I have to admit, good-looking people really do look good in anything!’

Gu Yizhou nodded. "Yeah, it looks very nice."

"Hee hee... I think it looks nice too!"

"I saw this cardigan in the store and fell in love with it at first sight. It’s my favorite color, purple."

Fan Sisi winked playfully. "My friends all say purple gives off a very elegant vibe."

"..."

Su Qianqian glanced at Fan Sisi and curled her lip almost imperceptibly.

’So, "Little Sister Sisi" says purple has an elegant vibe?’

’What a green-tea girl!’

She thought with disgust, but quickly hid her expression.

As for Gu Yizhou, after hearing what Fan Sisi said, he was at a loss for how to respond. He just smiled and said, "Let’s hurry and eat. The food’s really going to get cold."

"Okay!"

Fan Sisi nodded very obediently.

...

「A dozen or so minutes later.」

The table of food that Gu Yizhou ordered had basically been wiped out by the three of them.

Well, to be fair...

Most of the food ended up in Gu Yizhou’s stomach.

There was no helping it.

Su Qianqian and Fan Sisi both had small appetites to begin with, plus they naturally had to be more reserved in front of Gu Yizhou, so they basically didn’t eat much.

So, in order not to waste food, Gu Yizhou had to "reluctantly" polish it all off.

"Phew~"

"I’m so full!"

Fan Sisi leaned back slightly in her chair, gently stroking her stomach as she said with a smile, "Brother Yizhou, is the food in Modu always this good? Even the takeout is so much better than in Hang City."

Gu Yizhou heard this and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

’This girl’s exaggerating a bit.’

But speaking of Hang City, it really was... something else.

After all, being known as a "gastronomic wasteland," there really wasn’t much good to eat there, to be honest.

"You two just relax for a bit. I’ll clean up the takeout containers."

Gu Yizhou said.

After saying that, he got up and started to clear the table.

But of course, Fan Sisi and Su Qianqian couldn’t possibly let Gu Yizhou do this all by himself.

This was the perfect time to make an impression; there was no way they were going to pass up the opportunity.

So they scrambled to their feet, both speaking at once. "Brother Yizhou, you sit down! I’ll take care of the table!" Fan Sisi insisted, her voice overlapping with Su Qianqian’s similar offer.

As she said this, Fan Sisi pushed Gu Yizhou back down into his chair, then she and Su Qianqian started cleaning up together.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.

He didn’t try to take the task back, though. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Alright, I’ll have to trouble you two lovely ladies to help clean up, then. I’ll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit as a reward."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Yizhou!"

Fan Sisi said with a grin.

Su Qianqian, beside her, also smiled at Gu Yizhou. "Then we’ll have to trouble you, Yizhou."

The scene looked incredibly harmonious.

"Not at all. It’s my honor to be of service to two beautiful ladies!"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.

With that, he got up and walked toward the kitchen...

「Once he was in the kitchen.」

Su Qianqian and Fan Sisi looked at each other, and the sweet smiles on their faces instantly vanished.

If Gu Yizhou had seen this, he would have surely sighed. ’A woman’s mood can change faster than you can flip a page in a book!’

"Little Sister Sisi, I’d advise you to stop wasting your breath. There’s no way Yizhou could like you."

Su Qianqian said in a calm tone.

"Hah."

Fan Sisi didn’t even look at her, just let out a soft snort.

Hearing this soft snort, Su Qianqian’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Sister Qianqian, if I don’t stand a chance, what makes you think you do?"

Just then, Fan Sisi stopped what she was doing and looked up at Su Qianqian. "If I remember correctly, you were classmates with Brother Yizhou for all four years of college. There’s no way he doesn’t know you like him. It’s been four years... If you ever had a chance, would you really have waited until now?"

Su Qianqian: "..."

Her face instantly darkened.

’Good.’

’Very good.’

’Talk about going straight for the jugular.’

Su Qianqian no longer wanted to waste her breath on her.

"In that case, we’ll just have to wait and see!"

she said, gritting out each word.

Seeing that her single sentence had completely shattered her opponent’s composure, Fan Sisi gently shook her head.

’A woman with no headlights is bound to be petty.’

She just smiled slightly and said calmly, "Fine by me."

Yan Luoxi did not see this scene.

Otherwise, she would have been shouting, "I’m not trying to single anyone out... I’m just saying that both of you here are trash!"

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

Just then, a sudden knock came from the door.

Gu Yizhou also heard the sound in the kitchen, but he was cutting fruit and couldn’t free his hands.

So he called out to Su Qianqian at the dining table, "Classmate Su, could you please get the door and see who it is?"

"Okay!"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Su Qianqian put down the rag in her hand and walked towards the door.

And Fan Sisi, seeing that someone had arrived, didn’t say anything more either.

She quickly finished packing up all the takeout boxes from the table.

CLICK~

The door opened.

Su Qianqian was taken aback when she saw the unfamiliar older woman standing at the door.

She’d met Gu Yizhou’s mother once before, and this wasn’t her.

Snapping out of her surprise, she asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Oh?"

Tang Wanfang was also stunned for a moment.

’Didn’t a young man open the door last time? Why is it a young woman now?’

’Could this girl be that guy’s girlfriend?’

She thought to herself.

Yes!

The person at the door was none other than Yan Luoxi’s mom, Tang Wanfang!

Because Yan Luoxi had suddenly become unreachable these past two days, she had come looking for her daughter...
