Chapter 188 The Neighbor Downstairs
Chapter 188 The Neighbor Downstairs
After leaving Zhou Xian's house, Jiang Zhouzhou went home to pack her suitcase first, and then contacted Gu Nanfeng on WeChat.
[Jiang Zhouzhou: Brother Nanfeng, I'm back]
[Jiang Zhouzhou: Do you have time now? I'd like to pick up the glutinous rice balls.]
She didn't tell Gu Nanfeng about returning to Haishi early, not because she was deliberately keeping it from him, but because she was worried that Gu Nanfeng would come to pick her up like Yin Yue, and that it would be too tiring for her to travel back and forth.
Jiang Zhouzhou is not someone who likes to cause trouble for others.
vx received a reply quickly.
Gu Nanfeng: Yes, I have time now.
[Gu Nanfeng: It's on the 20th floor, come over here.]
Jiang Zhouzhou didn't react at first when she saw his reply.
Until I remembered that I lived on the 21st floor...
Without even waiting for the elevator, they hurriedly took the stairs downstairs.
At that moment, the door to room 201 opened, and Jiang Zhouzhou felt a moment of unreality upon seeing that Gu Nanfeng was indeed living there.
Taking in her reaction, Gu Nanfeng smiled with his fox-like eyes: "When I brought you back before, I wanted to tell you that I also lived here. I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I live downstairs from you."
Jiang Zhouzhou scratched her head awkwardly: "It's...it's quite a coincidence."
But what embarrassed her even more was...
Brother Nanfeng was probably cooking. Always impeccably dressed, he was wearing a black apron, his shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing half of his muscular arm, with slightly bulging veins on his pale skin.
Who would have thought that this ascetic, married manly aura would appear right in front of her like this!
Jiang Zhouzhou said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't know you were cooking. I'll leave as soon as I get the glutinous rice balls."
Gu Nanfeng's smile deepened: "It's just been made, let's eat together!"
Open the door wide, making an inviting gesture.
Perhaps it was the allure of his voice, but Jiang Zhouzhou nodded in agreement without really understanding what was going on.
He stepped into Gu Nanfeng's house with trepidation.
Compared to Zhou Xian's cold and deserted house, Gu Nanfeng's home was much more full of life.
The dishes on the table were steaming hot, emitting an enticing aroma, and each dish looked delicious.
The more you get to know Gu Nanfeng, the more you'll discover that he's a person who truly values life.
Perhaps it was because she discovered during their last video call that Gu Nanfeng could blush just like any other person, that Jiang Zhouzhou felt a significant rapport with him.
When Jiang Zhouzhou finally saw the glutinous rice balls, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to hug them and quickly suck on them.
As a result, Tangyuan gave her an indifferent look and arrogantly walked past her, its two balls under its tail swaying back and forth.
"What is this...?"
Feeling neglected, Jiang Zhouzhou was a little confused.
Gu Nanfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's probably because you said you wanted to have it spayed or neutered."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
That vengeful cat!
"By the way, how is your wound healing?"
Speaking of glutinous rice balls, we can't help but mention the wounds they caused.
Before, I could only ask a few questions on video, but now that we've met in person, I definitely want to show my concern.
Gu Nanfeng was untying the apron he was wearing with his long, slender hands, and said, "I'll show you after we finish eating."
His waist was rather thin, and when the apron straps were tied around his waist, it made his shoulders appear even wider and his waist even narrower.
Just the simple act of taking off an apron was quite...
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head, trying to shake away all the unhealthy thoughts inside.
When Gu Nanfeng came out of the kitchen, he served rice to Jiang Zhouzhou and took out new chopsticks.
"Eat first, it'll get cold soon."
I sat down next to her without much hesitation.
Jiang Zhouzhou obediently responded and picked up her chopsticks, reaching for the plate closest to her.
Take small bites of the food.
Gu Nanfeng's cooking skills are excellent, far surpassing those of her and Zhou Xian.
She couldn't help but praise, "Brother Nanfeng's cooking is really delicious."
Gu Nanfeng's eyes lit up with pleasure, his voice laced with seduction: "Then how about... coming over for dinner every day?"
Jiang Zhouzhou paused with her chopsticks, looking hesitant, and asked, "Won't this cause you trouble?"
Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm already feeling lonely eating alone. You're helping me by eating with me, not causing me any trouble."
Since he had already said that, Jiang Zhouzhou stopped being coy and refused.
After the two finished eating, Jiang Zhouzhou wanted to help clear the table and wash the dishes.
But Gu Nanfeng said, "You don't need to do it, I'll take care of it."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "But... I've been eating and drinking for free, so let me do this kind of thing!"
She felt really embarrassed to see Gu Nanfeng running around all by himself.
"Even if you don't come to freeload, this is still something I'm doing."
He acts and speaks with his own logic, and Jiang Zhouzhou is led astray by his logic.
He sat obediently on the sofa, watching Gu Nanfeng tidy everything up in perfect order.
My gaze fell on his hands. His hands, soaked in water, were even whiter, like the finest mutton fat jade. The knuckles were tinged with a faint red. As he wiped his fingers, his hands reflected a cool, luminous white under the light.
She only snapped out of her daze when a black cat's tail rubbed against her leg.
She lowered her head, looked at the little black creature, and couldn't help but smile: "You must be a lump of coal!"
As its name suggests, the cat is indeed pitch black, like a lump of coal.
I reached out to pet it.
"Snapped--"
A heavy slap landed on Jiang Zhouzhou's hand, leaving two scratch marks, from which tiny beads of blood seeped out.
Jiang Zhouzhou looked at her hand, a little confused and a little sore...
Hearing the commotion, Gu Nanfeng quickly came out of the kitchen. When he saw Jiang Zhouzhou's injured hand, his eyes darkened.
The coal ball that did the wrong thing has already disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Zhouzhou instinctively hid her hands behind her back and joked, "Brother Nanfeng, your coal ball is really amazing, it will avenge you."
Gu Nanfeng pulled her hidden hand out, somewhat helplessly: "If you're injured, you should treat it promptly. Why are you hiding it?"
I took her to the sink, found an unused bar of soap, and started cleaning the wound on her hand.
His hands, covered in white soap suds, were smooth and soft. As he kept rubbing Jiang Zhouzhou's hands, her face, like her hands, grew increasingly red.
"Brother Nanfeng, that's enough..."
She wanted to pull her hand away.
Gu Nanfeng was very close to her, his brows furrowing slightly: "You need to rinse for about 15 minutes, then I'll take you to get your injection later."
When Jiang Zhouzhou heard that she was going to get an injection, her expression showed utter despair.
Gu Nanfeng was amused by her little expression: "You were so eager to tell me to get my shot back then, but when it's your turn, you make this face."
Jiang Zhouzhou bit her lip and muttered softly, "It's different. I hate getting shots, and pet cats don't have any problems."
Gu Nanfeng tightened his grip on her hand: "Don't gamble your life on something with such a low probability of failure."
Jiang Zhouzhou looked up to meet his serious gaze, then lowered her head again, resignedly saying, "Alright then!"
I went to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine, and by the time I got back it was already very late.
Having not slept well all night and exhausted after a long day, Jiang Zhouzhou slowly fell asleep in Gu Nanfeng's car.
Gu Nanfeng glanced at her injured hand, then at her gaunt face...
I remember the first time I saw her, she was a very thin girl, with hardly any flesh on her body, and a slender waist that could be wrapped in one hand.
And even now, she's still so thin.
Let it heal slowly!
