Chapter 64 Let's move towards fish and lemon porridge!
The chopsticks hovered in mid-air.
It's like the pause button has been pressed.
The boy visibly froze on the spot.
If you were in the deepest part of Antarctica right now, the world's sea level might rise by five centimeters as a result.
He resumed his movements, but for a moment forgot what he wanted to do, so he stirred the rice with his chopsticks.
"Girls can only get married at least at twenty, and boys have to wait even longer, until they are twenty-two," Gu Zhibei asked.
Without hesitation, the girl immediately replied, "I will wait for Gu Zhibei obediently for two years."
"But we're friends, aren't we?"
As the chopsticks stirred the rice unconsciously, the aroma became even stronger, causing the boy's Adam's apple to bob involuntarily.
He continued, "Doesn't the young lady want to be friends with me anymore?"
"Friends, Gu Zhibei has many."
The girl's expression visibly turned somber.
She leaned closer, her pretty, cute little face almost touching the boy's.
Pei Qingning spoke each word with utmost seriousness:
"You can only have one wife."
"I don't want to give Gu Zhibei to someone else."
"I want to become Gu Zhibei's wife."
"I want to make Gu Zhibei my Gu Zhibei."
"Gu Zhibei can only be mine."
The two looked at each other.
Neither of them retreated an inch.
In those clear, doe-like eyes, the boy could only see his own reflection.
And a possessiveness that burns like wildfire in the mountains.
Gu Zhibei didn't try to distinguish whether it was liking or simply possessiveness.
He's not that pretentious.
Liking something is inherently selfish and greedy.
When a girl lets go of all her reserve and defenses, stands before you, and says she wants to possess you, to have you all to herself...
Is there anything else to hesitate about?
Have.
Yes, there are.
There will always be someone he can't let go of.
Six months ago, Gu Zhibei might have...
There is no "maybe".
He would definitely obediently put on the young lady's collar, and might even do so voluntarily.
But right now, he still has fish food in his hands.
If Little Fish were to become the young lady's kitten, it would starve to death.
He had raised that little fish for half a year and had already developed a bond with it.
So, should we give up on her, or on her?
...
My thoughts were in disarray.
The tabby cat suddenly made a suggestion.
You can only have one wife.
You need a wife too.
Young age, but with a good appetite.
We should have some fish and lemon congee!
...
What an immoral cat!
Gu Zhibei thought to himself.
The throbbing in my chest was impossible to suppress.
Everyone has a bad side.
This has nothing to do with morality or character.
If you don't eat, you'll get hungry.
When you're hungry, you'll look for food.
This is a biological instinct.
Human instincts are far more greedy.
This is the bitter fruit of wisdom.
Once they have enough dry food to fill their stomachs, they will think about finding more delicious food.
Gu Zhibei realized this at that moment.
His greed was no less than that of the girl in front of him.
Even worse.
He liked Xiaoyuer's insincere words.
He liked the young lady's indulgence and pampering.
That's right, Gu Zhibei.
The tabby cat in the boy's heart gave him earnest advice.
A little fish.
A small lemon.
You're going to cook them all in the same pot.
You must cook them together!
otherwise.
The sharpest claws in the world will scratch and scratch, making you itchy and restless, day and night.
Gu Zhibei had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept the tabby cat's demands, since the cat's paws were already on his neck.
He looked at the serious-looking girl, his eyes flickering slightly:
"What if the young lady doesn't like me after we get married? Women change their minds after marriage, that's what everyone says online, and I don't feel safe."
"I'll be a good girl... Hmm!"
Pei Qingning was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to make him believe her.
She was about to look up and use the spy cat's information to cheat.
But the boy's large hand pinched her cheek, causing her pink lips to pout into a comical arc, rendering her unable to move.
"Then I'll test you!" he said. "Only if you pass the test can I marry you."
Heroes must defeat the Demon King before they can marry the princess with the King's permission.
Pei Qingning didn't care about any demon king or king, and she didn't want to be a foolish hero.
The girl only wanted to take her beloved kitten home; she didn't care if she gave the Holy Sword to the Demon King. She didn't care about the end of the world.
She said sullenly, "No."
"Have you been naughty?"
"Gu Zhibei, you have to behave too."
Pei Qingning said slyly.
This is a "chicken or the egg" question.
It's also a matter of who tamed whom first.
Whoever gives in first will be put in a collar by the other party.
Become the other person's obedient kitten.
Gu Zhibei did not back down as usual.
In the past, it was to repay the young lady's debts while keeping his own secret.
And now?
The young lady's secret treasure will eventually belong to her, including her people.
The latter... goes without saying.
Gu Zhibei slowly said:
"Young Miss, now you're the one pursuing me."
The girl puffed out her cheeks defiantly:
"Gu Zhibei, you're being naughty!"
"If you don't behave, do you still want to marry me?"
"I will make Gu Zhibei listen to me."
Pei Qingning said stubbornly.
On this bottom line, she would never back down.
"Let's play a game then."
Gu Zhibei offered his suggestions.
As expected, the young lady was drawn to the word "game".
"game?"
"Each person should send at least one acceptable task to the other every day."
Gu Zhibei slowly explained the rules of the game.
"You can define the task details yourself."
"But whether it will be accepted depends on whether the other party agrees."
"No pleading, no cheating, no cheating."
"If someone accepts and completes a task, you can increase their favorability by 1 point."
"Whoever raises the other's favorability to 100 points first."
"Whoever can become the master."
Pei Qingning thought for a moment.
The first task was issued:
"Gu Zhibei, marry me."
"Not acceptable at this time."
"Gu Zhibei, you are not allowed to live with your friends."
"I don't accept it."
"Gu Zhibei, help me eat."
The young lady opened her small mouth.
Her pink lips moved slightly, and occasionally you could see her cute little tiger teeth... She had a unique kind of allure.
"Mission accepted, in progress."
Gu Zhibei picked up her chopsticks.
Pick up a piece of braised pork.
He had already discovered it.
The young lady is a carnivore and prefers salty meat dishes.
"Hmm..."
Pei Qingning swallowed the food that was being fed to her.
Her cheeks puffed out, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment like a cat.
The meat that Gu Zhibei fed it seemed to taste even better...
The girl swallowed the braised pork, exhaled softly, and a strange blush rose to her cheeks.
"I want more..."
Gu Zhibei glanced at it without showing any emotion.
It bulged and rose and fell slightly.
It makes you very hungry.
He fulfilled the girl's needs.
The young lady's favorability rating has increased.
There are 99 points of favorability remaining before I can officially become Pei Qingning's master.
Of course, Gu Zhibei also put forward his own tasks.
"Ding~ Task issued: Become good friends with my roommate..."
