Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Indirect Kiss? Gu Yizhou: Woman, You’ve Gone Too Far! You Want Me to Eat Your Saliva?

Seeing his expression, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but pout.

But with other people around, she didn’t press the issue.

She looked away, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a delicate sip.

"Xiaogu, your bucket rice is here."

The proprietress said to the two of them, "Sorry for the wait."

"It’s no problem."

Gu Yizhou said.

She was just being polite, so of course, he and Yan Luoxi didn’t really mind.

After the proprietress left, Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and stood up as well...

He walked over to the front counter and brought back two sets of disposable chopsticks and spoons.

"President Yan, please use these."

He said, handing one of the sets to Yan Luoxi.

Although the bucket rice came with its own chopsticks and spoons, they were reusable ones that many people had used.

Gu Yizhou was afraid Yan Luoxi wouldn’t be used to them, which was why he went to get disposable ones.

Yan Luoxi stared at the disposable chopsticks and spoon in front of her, stunned for a second. Then, a warmth spread through her heart.

She gave Gu Yizhou a deep look and said softly, "Thank you."

This "thank you" was a world away from her previous cold tone.

It was soft and gentle,

Gu Yizhou practically melted...

’Wait!’

’This woman has a side like this?’

Gu Yizhou secretly glanced at Yan Luoxi, marveling inwardly.

If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, Gu Yizhou would have doubted the voice he just heard was even hers.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi noticed that damn man sneaking a glance at her.

Her unruly heart began to beat faster.

However, both of them pretended that nothing had happened, lowering their heads and eating in silence.

Yan Luoxi was very elegant when she ate.

She’d scoop up some rice with the small disposable spoon. Perhaps afraid it was too hot, she would blow on it gently. Then, she’d test the temperature with a light touch of her lips before finally putting it in her mouth and chewing slowly.

Gu Yizhou, in contrast, was a bit rougher.

He picked up the dishes from the bucket rice with his chopsticks in one hand, scooped up rice with the other, and shoved both into his mouth at the same time.

’What can I say!’

’It’s almost two o’clock.’

’I’m starving!’

Yan Luoxi glanced at him as well before looking away.

’For some reason...’

’every time she watched that damn man eat, she thought the food looked especially delicious.’

And so, the two ate with their heads down in silence. Neither spoke a word.

It was as if some taboo topic hung over the table.

The atmosphere was a little strange.

Meanwhile, the girls at the next table were chatting and eating, their occasional giggles forming a stark contrast.

...

Yan Luoxi had a small appetite. She had eaten less than a third of her bucket rice before she put down her chopsticks.

Although the bucket rice was quite good, she really couldn’t eat anymore.

In contrast, Gu Yizhou’s entire serving of bucket rice was nearly gone.

Seeing Yan Luoxi suddenly stop eating, he thought for a moment before asking, "President Yan, is the food not to your liking?"

"No, it tastes great."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi gently shook her head. "I just have a small appetite. I’m already full."

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou glanced at her bowl. She had eaten less than a third of it.

She’d barely touched the meat and vegetables.

’And she’s full???’

’Alright then!’

’I guess I’ll never understand girls’ appetites.’

Seeing him looking into her bowl, a faint blush flashed across Yan Luoxi’s pretty face.

"Do you want some?"

The words slipped out, as if she were possessed.

"?"

Gu Yizhou’s hands froze.

He looked up at Yan Luoxi, his face a mask of shock.

’No way!’

’Did I hear that right?’

’This woman actually wants me to eat her leftovers?’

’Has she gone mad?’

’I, Gu Yizhou, am not some pervert. How could I possibly agree?’

Gu Yizhou was just about to righteously refuse when Yan Luoxi had already moved a piece of meat from her bowl into his.

"Don—"

Gu Yizhou’s voice died in his throat.

He stared dumbly at the extra meat in his bowl, at a loss for words.

"Don’t worry."

"I haven’t touched these pieces."

Yan Luoxi said with a straight face.

"..."

Looking up at the still-expressionless Yan Luoxi, Gu Yizhou was now truly dumbfounded.

’Aren’t those the chopsticks you’ve been eating with?!’

’Oh, thank you so much!’

’Whatever!’

’Since you’re pretty, I guess I can force myself to eat your saliva!’

’Seriously!’

’This woman has absolutely no sense of personal boundaries!’

Gu Yizhou complained silently in his heart.

"Thanks."

Gu Yizhou said thanks with a look of resignation, then lowered his head and silently began to eat.

’Hmm...’

’I have to admit, it’s pretty tasty.’

Five minutes later.

Gu Yizhou polished off the last bite of rice.

He pulled a napkin from the dispenser, wiped his mouth, and said to Yan Luoxi, "Shall we pay and get going?"

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi nodded without a word.

"Sister Hong, how much do we owe?"

Gu Yizhou turned and asked the proprietress, who was clearing a table.

"Hey, Xiaogu, all full?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou, the proprietress said, "Was it enough rice? I can get you more if it wasn’t."

"It was plenty, plenty. I’m stuffed."

Gu Yizhou quickly waved his hands. "Sister Hong, just tell me how much it is."

"Hmm... It’s 86 yuan total. I’ll round it down. Xiaogu, just give me 80."

The proprietress, Sister Hong, said with a smile.

"Alright, you’re so generous, Sister Hong. Thank you."

Gu Yizhou said with a laugh.

After speaking, he pulled out his phone to pay.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi, who was beside him, quickly stood up and said, "I’ll get it."

Gu Yizhou paused and glanced at her.

"No need. It’s just a small amount, President Yan. I should pay."

he said, shaking his head.

Even though Yan Luoxi had said it was her treat and she was his boss, she was still a woman!

Gu Yizhou felt it would be embarrassing to let Yan Luoxi treat him to a meal.

Besides, it was such a small amount of money; he could afford it.

He then raised his phone and scanned the payment QR code on the wall.

"Oh."

Seeing Gu Yizhou insist, Yan Luoxi didn’t fight him for it.

She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then you can treat today, and I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gu Yizhou was busy entering his PIN to pay and didn’t quite catch what Yan Luoxi said, so he answered absently.

But after paying, he suddenly realized something was off.

"Wait!"

"President Yan, what did you just say?"

"We’re coming back here for lunch tomorrow?"

Gu Yizhou turned to Yan Luoxi and asked.

"Mm."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

After a thought, she added, "But we’ll go somewhere else. I’ll arrange it!"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was stunned.

’Somewhere else.’

’And she’ll arrange it?’

’What on earth is this woman up to?’

While he was still dazed, Yan Luoxi had already walked to the door.

"Aren’t you leaving?"

She glanced back at Gu Yizhou and said coolly, "It’s almost time for work to start. If you don’t get going, you’ll be late, and I’ll dock your pay."

Gu Yizhou: "... -_-||"
