"Bajin, do you know what you look like right now?" Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but laugh twice as she spoke.
Chen Bajin shook his head, looking at her with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Like what?"
After laughing again, Gu Fuqiao leaned close to her ear and said, "A speculator."
Hearing this, Chen Bajin imdiately opened his eyes wide and said, "Oh, Ah Jiao, how dare you tease ? Watch teach you a lesson!" After saying that, he threw what he was holding into Sister Bei’s arms and began chasing Gu Fuqiao, playfully wrestling with her.
Sister Bei watched this playful scene from the side, her lips involuntarily curling into a slight smile.
It had been so long since such playful fun had taken place in the housing complex... she could hardly rember.
Finally, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t keep up anymore. After all, Gu Fuqiao had always been lacking in exercise. After running for a while, she waved her hand, "Alright, I give up, I surrender!"
Although Chen Bajin had good stamina, he was also tired after playing around like this. He held his knees, took a couple of breaths, and then looked at Gu Fuqiao with a smug expression, "Okay, tell , what was your mistake?"
"I am the speculator!" Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but laugh again at Chen Bajin’s words.
"That’s more like it!" Chen Bajin was satisfied with this answer, and reached out to pull Gu Fuqiao up.
After standing up, Gu Fuqiao patted the dust off her behind, then went with Chen Bajin and Sister Bei to Chen Bajin’s house.
Chen Bajin held Sister Bei in high regard. As soon as they went upstairs, she was chirping away introducing her to the place. At the door, Chen Bajin didn’t forget to point beside it to Gu Fuqiao’s ho, saying, "That’s Captain Yan’s house. He treats Ah Jiao incredibly well at ho!"
Sister Bei raised her eyes to look at Gu Fuqiao’s house and saw that the door was slightly ajar. She then said, "Ah Jiao, is your Captain Yan back ho?"
"I don’t know, maybe." Gu Fuqiao glanced at the slightly open door, thinking to herself, it’s most likely Yan Zhen Guo who ca back since Cheng Zhang just ntioned that Yan Zhen Guo ca ho to fetch sothing.
"Let’s go in." Chen Bajin reached out for the key, about to open the door, and suddenly rembered sothing.
Her hand paused, and she looked at Gu Fuqiao and Sister Bei, saying, "I rembered, my gas cylinder is broken and it’s not suitable to burn firewood either..."
"Your house uses a gas cylinder?" Gu Fuqiao was puzzled as she heard this. Her family had always used firewood, and she thought everyone in the complex did too...
"Yes!" Chen Bajin nodded without hesitation, then looked at Gu Fuqiao, "Everyone uses gas cylinders, right? Is using gas cylinders not good..." Chen Bajin had always used firewood when she was in the countryside, only switching to gas cylinders when she ca over here.
She actually thought the sll of the gas cylinder was uncomfortable.
Gu Fuqiao finally understood — everyone uses gas here, just not Yan Zhen Guo, who hadn’t inford her!
Though this matter might not be blad on Yan Zhen Guo; given his habit of cooking noodles with cold water, he hardly has als at ho. Most als are taken care of in the cafeteria, and the original owner wasn’t concerned about these things.
Gu Fuqiao thought, never mind, I’ll change it later.
"My house uses firewood. Though it’s a bit behind the tis, how about we go to my place?" Gu Fuqiao ntioned to Sister Bei.
"Yes, let’s go to Ah Jiao’s." Chen Bajin chid in from the side.
Upon hearing this, Sister Bei hesitated a bit before saying, "But Captain Yan is at ho, and we... we’re not very familiar..."
"What’s this about being familiar or not." At that mont, a crisp and clear male voice reached Gu Fuqiao’s ears.
Gu Fuqiao raised her head and saw Yan Zhen Guo just as he pushed open the door, his clothes freshly pressed, and a matching docunt folder in his hand.
It seed he really had co back to fetch so docunts.
And Sister Bei’s face turned pale, instinctively ducking her head and leaning closer to Chen Bajin.
Yan Zhen Guo, seeing Gu Fuqiao and the others, walked over and asked, "Why aren’t you at ho, where did you go?"
"Went to the market to buy groceries, where else could I have gone?" Gu Fuqiao smiled at Yan Zhen Guo, "I learned to make buns today, I’ll make so for you tonight."
"Alright then." Yan Zhen Guo nodded, after glancing at Gu Fuqiao, his gaze suddenly lingered on Sister Bei, "And this is?"
Gu Fuqiao looked at Sister Bei, seeing her with her head down, appearing sowhat evasive, suddenly realizing that Sister Bei likely knew Yan Zhen Guo, and they might have quite the connection!
"This is Sister Bei, who runs a bun shop beside the market. Bajin and I invited her over to teach us how to make buns." Gu Fuqiao finished speaking and looked at Yan Zhen Guo, "Do you know her?"
"I don’t know." It was Sister Bei who replied, not Yan Zhen Guo.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Fuqiao, "I’m not a resident of your complex, and Captain Yan doesn’t co out often... how could I know... at most my face might be familiar."
Yan Zhen Guo, hearing Sister Bei’s words, his gaze faintly shifted away, said to Gu Fuqiao, "Rember to make buns tonight, if you can’t, I’ll teach you a lesson."
The aning of "teach you a lesson," to others hearing it, sounded malicious as if he intended to scold Gu Fuqiao, but Gu Fuqiao knew very well, the aning of those words was crystal clear, wasn’t it just to sort out in bed!
This shaless guy!
Gu Fuqiao glared at him inwardly, then lowered her head and said, "Alright, alright, go get busy, I know how to do it."
After Yan Zhen Guo left, Sister Bei lifted her head and said to Gu Fuqiao, "I really envy Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao and Captain Yan must have a great relationship."
Sister Bei’s words reminded Gu Fuqiao that these two must know each other.
Gu Fuqiao carefully observed Sister Bei’s features and found that they indeed looked a bit like... like... right! Like the girl hiding behind Yan Zhen Guo in his photo album!
Seems like they truly know each other.
"Sister Bei is joking." Gu Fuqiao, seeing that Sister Bei hadn’t recognized Yan Zhen Guo, and they likely had so entanglents, she chose not to expose or inquire about it, simply opened her door saying, "Let’s co inside and make buns!"
Both Chen Bajin and Gu Fuqiao were the clever type, in no ti, they mastered how to make buns. Chen Bajin even wanted to keep Sister Bei for dinner, but she insisted on leaving, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep her, so Gu Fuqiao decided to escort Sister Bei ho.
On the way, neither spoke much until finally nearing the destination, Sister Bei spoke up, "Ah Jiao, you’re a romantic-minded scholar, how could you fancy Captain Yan, a scientist?"
"Scholar... How to put it... This has nothing to do with profession, right? Besides, scientists are quite good, with a sense of responsibility, Gu Family." Gu Fuqiao replied to Sister Bei as she pedaled her bicycle.
