Chapter 170 Idol Plot
I couldn't help but mutter to myself
"Why is Changning here at Ruhai Academy too?"
Gu Ziying then got out of the car and, hearing Li Shuchen muttering to himself, asked a question.
"What is Shu Chen saying?"
"Ziying, look."
Gu Ziying looked in the direction Li Shuchen was pointing.
"Changning, what is she doing here?"
Li Shuchen asked
"Does Changning have any brothers or other relatives at Ruhai Academy?"
Gu Ziying thought for a moment and replied
"Never heard of it"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen watched the departing carriage without speaking, thinking he would ask Changning about it in a few days.
I walked a few steps to the gate of Ruhai Academy and knocked on the door.
The servant who opened the door saw Li Shuchen and said
"Oh, it's Miss Li, here to bring Young Master Li some writing brush and ink again."
"Yes, could you please call him for me? I bought quite a lot of things, and he can't carry them all by himself. Could you ask him to call Young Master Xiao to help him carry them?"
The doorman patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Don't worry, Miss Li, I will definitely inform Young Master Li."
"Thank you, brother."
Li Shuchen stood outside waiting. The autumn wind was bleak, and fallen leaves blew into her hair. She gently brushed them away.
After a while
Li Lingxiao ran out laughing.
"Sister, sister, I'm here!"
Li Shuchen ignored Li Lingxiao and instead looked behind Li Lingxiao.
What's going on? Why is no one here? Didn't Young Master Xiao come along?
Li Shuchen glanced back at Gu Ziying.
Gu Ziying's expression was already somewhat disappointed.
Li Shuchen angrily turned to look at Li Lingxiao, thinking to himself...
Is her brother an idiot? He didn't even invite Young Master Xiao to come along. Didn't she already make it clear? Or was her hint not obvious enough?
Li Lingxiao, feeling confused by Li Shuchen's gaze, touched her face and said...
"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
What are you looking at? What are you looking at? You idiot!
"Didn't I tell you that there's too much stuff for you to carry by yourself, and that you should ask Young Master Xiao to help you carry it?"
Li Lingxiao said with a proud look on her face upon hearing this.
"Xiao'er knows. My elder sister feels sorry for Xiao'er and doesn't want Xiao'er to carry too much stuff by herself. But Xiao'er has grown taller and stronger recently, so she can carry it all by herself. That's why she came by herself."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen sighed repeatedly.
Foolish egg, foolish egg, such a fool!
Li Shuchen grabbed Li Lingxiao and pulled him aside, earnestly instructing him...
"When I come to deliver these writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones to you again, you absolutely, positively must invite Young Master Xiao along."
Li Lingxiao looked puzzled.
"Sister, why is that?"
Li Shuchen smacked Li Lingxiao on the head in exasperation.
"Idiot, can't you see that your Sister Gu and your Brother Xiao are of the same mind?"
Li Lingxiao's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this; her older sister was indeed intelligent.
"Sister, you know about this too? I didn't dare tell you when Brother Xiao expressed his feelings to Sister Gu. I've been so pent up these past few days!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen smacked Li Lingxiao on the head again.
"You know they are in love, so why not invite Young Master Xiao over so they can meet and ease their longing for each other?"
Li Lingxiao lowered his eyebrows and said very sincerely.
"Xiao'er didn't mean it that way, I'm sorry, elder sister."
Seeing that he admitted his mistake so quickly, Li Shuchen didn't want to scold him anymore, so he said...
"Alright, alright, remember next time. No matter what I give you, you must invite Young Master Xiao along."
"Sister, Xiao'er understands."
After Li Shuchen finished speaking about Li Lingxiao, he turned around.
Then, Young Master Xiao gently removed the fallen leaves from Ziying's hair.
Young Master Xiao was earnest and devout.
Ziying smiled shyly.
Oh my god, what kind of idol drama is this?
Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper!
Quickly pull Li Lingxiao back.
Li Lingxiao thought his older sister had something else to tell him, so he said...
"Sister, is there anything else you want to tell Xiao'er? Xiao'er will definitely keep it in mind."
"Is everything alright?"
"what?"
"What 'ah'? Just stay here for now."
Li Lingxiao didn't know why, but he knew he had to listen to his older sister, so he just stood there dumbfounded.
Until I heard Brother Xiao say
"Take care, Mr. Gu."
Li Lingxiao tugged at her older sister's sleeve and said
"Sister, Sister Gu is leaving."
Li Shuchen wasn't deaf; she heard it too. She pulled Li Lingxiao around, looking surprised.
"Oh, Young Master Xiao is here too."
Xiao Xiuyuan bowed to Li Shuchen and said
"Let me help Brother Li with his things."
Li Shuchen smiled.
"Young Master Xiao is truly kind-hearted. Xiao'er will remember to invite Young Master Xiao for tea."
"Understood, elder sister."
Xiao Xiuyuan said upon hearing this
"As the elder brother, I should invite Brother Li for tea."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen inwardly gave Xiao Xiuyuan a thumbs up. He was sensible; he knew she was making time for them to spend together, so he wanted to invite Xiao'er for tea to express his gratitude. Not bad, this young man is quite good.
Li Shuchen unloaded the items he bought from the Ink Bamboo Pavilion.
"Xiao'er, I'm back."
"Sister, take care."
Li Shuchen boarded the carriage and looked at Gu Ziying, who was smiling sweetly.
"Has it eased some of your longing?"
Gu Ziying said coquettishly
"Shu Chen, you're being cheeky again. How about I invite you to dine at Xiangchi Tower the day after tomorrow?"
Li Shuchen happily agreed
"Great! I've been wanting to try so many of their dishes."
……
On the day Gu Ziying invited Li Shuchen to dinner
Li Shuchen dressed and tidied herself up early and went to the banquet.
Private room on the second floor of Xiangchi Tower
Li Shuchen picked up the menu and started looking at the dishes. This time, she could read.
"Ziying, I want to eat."
Qin Sang Low Green Branches (Shredded Beef with Green Peppers);
Shady summer trees turn into orioles (shrimp and scrambled eggs);
May we be a pair of lovebirds in heaven (a pair of roasted pigeons);
The Yellow Crane has flown away and will never return (Ham and Lotus Seed Chicken Soup);
I've ordered, you order two dishes too.
"it is good"
Gu Ziying took the menu and looked at it.
"Phoenixes roam on Phoenix Terrace (Five-spice roasted chicken)"
Yancao Rubisi (Stir-fried Three Shredded Vegetables (Seaweed Sprout Shreds + Green Pepper Shreds + Shiitake Mushroom Shreds)).
Okay, waiter, bring these over first.
The shopkeeper replied with a grin, "Yes, Lord Gu."
Li Shuchen watched the waiter leave, resting his chin on his hand, and sighed.
"The names of the dishes at Xiangchi Tower are too elegant and poetic. In contrast, the names of the dishes on my inn's menu are just the cooking method plus the name of the food. This will not make our guests want to explore further."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ziying smiled and poured Li Shuchen a glass of grape wine.
"Shu Chen, please don't belittle yourself. I think the names you came up with for the dishes are excellent. They are simple and clear, and you can tell at a glance what they are made of. This way, the guests won't order food they don't want to eat, and they won't lose their enjoyment of the meal."
Li Shuchen was comforted by Gu Ziying's words and drank the grape wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Ziying is right, the name I chose is excellent, excellent."
The food is here.
The waiter served the dishes one by one.
Li Shuchen's eyes lit up.
"The dishes are all served. Mr. Gu and Miss Li, please enjoy your meal."
Li Shuchen quickly placed a few bites of food on Gu Ziying's plate and said...
"Quickly, Ziying, let's eat."
After saying that, he put one dish after another into his mouth.
Delicious, tasty, and comforting.
After three rounds of meals and three rounds of drinks
Li Shuchen was slightly tipsy, and he stared at Gu Ziying with a silly grin.
