Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 428 The Beginning of Everything 19

Xie Gui shook his head, got up, ladled a bowl of mutton soup and placed it in front of Gu Yao, "Doesn't A Yao like this mutton soup? Drink more. If you want some at school, just call me and I'll have them send it to you."

Gu Yao put down the pork knuckle in his hand, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, glanced at Si Yan whose temple veins were throbbing, and still showed mercy.

"No need, if I wanted to drink, I would definitely come with Brother Xie."

Upon hearing this, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

If Qinghe really does deliver food, this restaurant should just close down.

so far so good.

His reputation was preserved.

Qinghe is still the same Qinghe who is hard to come by.

Xie Gui was also pleased by Gu Yao's words and hummed softly, "If A Yao wants to come, you can tell me anytime, and I'll have Uncle Zhang pick you up."

Gu Yao nodded obediently, but the oil spots on his face were particularly noticeable, glistening in the sunlight.

Xie Gui looked somewhat helpless and pointed to his face, "A Yao, you have oily spots on your face."

Gu Yao was taken aback. He grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped his face, but he didn't wipe the right spot. The oil stains were particularly noticeable on his fair face.

The boy, still with his eyes open, innocently leaned closer to Xie Gui and softly asked, "Are you done?"

Xie Gui stared at the suddenly enlarged face in front of him for a few seconds, then awkwardly turned his head and coughed lightly, seemingly helpless. He then reached out and pulled out a tissue, personally wiping away the oil.

Gu Yao stared blankly at the face in front of him. Xie Gui's expression was focused and gentle, as if he was doing something meticulous.

After only a few seconds, he withdrew his hand, looked Gu Yao's still somewhat immature face up and down, and after confirming that it was flawless, he nodded seriously, "Alright, it's clean."

It was as if some major project had been completed.

Gu Yao blushed slightly; who could resist such a sight?

Gu Yao, who was trying to flirt but ended up being flirted with instead, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

He stepped back to his original position and whispered his thanks to Xie Gui.

Xie Gui smiled silently.

The warmth from the boy's face lingered on his fingertips, causing him to curl his fingertips slightly.

It was as if they couldn't resist keeping that little bit of warmth in their palms.

After the meal, Xie Gui took the person back to school.

Watching Gu Yao smile and wave goodbye, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

You little brat, aren't you even a little bit sad?

Don't they even say goodbye to themselves?

Gu Yao, who had already received Xie Gui's half-hour lecture downstairs in the dormitory, was speechless. How else could he say goodbye?

But in Xie Gui's eyes, it was as if his own child hadn't even said goodbye. He wouldn't get angry at Gu Yao, so he could only sulk by himself.

With a cold expression, he instructed Gu Yao, "Be sure to call me if anything happens."

Gu Yao smiled and waved his hand more vigorously at Xie Gui, "I know."

First attempt at brainwave connection failed!

Xie Gui, who hadn't waited for his child to say goodbye, looked rather grim and got into the car with a cold expression.

Gu Yao watched the car drive away.

After the car was out of sight, Gu Yao's smile faded, he sighed softly, and turned to walk upstairs.

In the dormitory, Chen Zhao, who had eaten too much, lay on the bed that Yu Ran had already made, patting his stomach with a contented expression.

"I'm so full, it's all because the food at that restaurant was so delicious."

Yu Ran, who had just come out of the bathroom, dried his hair and looked at Chen Zhao, who was sprawled out like a pancake, and kicked his exposed foot.

"Don't just lie there, get up and pack your things. We need to pick up our military training uniforms this afternoon."

These words struck Chen Zhao like a bolt from the blue.

He sat up with a jolt, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "Yeah, we still have to do military training. I haven't prepared anything!"

Yu Ran's face darkened. He rubbed his forehead and leaned against the wardrobe. "Chen Zhao, are you an idiot? Didn't I send you a message? Didn't you see it?"

Chen Zhao smiled ingratiatingly at Yu Ran, blinked, and scratched his head. "I did remember, but you know, during the last few days of the holiday, I was busy ranking up, so... I forgot..."

As they spoke, Yu Ran's face grew increasingly dark, and Chen Zhao's tone became increasingly subdued. He shrank back, as if he were feeling somewhat guilty and lacking confidence.

Yu Ran's temples were throbbing with anger; he felt that he would be driven to his death by Chen Zhao sooner or later.

Chen Zhao was very perceptive. Before Yu Ran could get angry, he grabbed Yu Ran's hand and said, "You can't leave me alone. After we get our military training uniforms, will you come with me to the supermarket?"

Yu Ran looked at the person who was holding him back with a pitiful expression. After a brief standoff, he finally gave in, sighed softly, and nodded in compromise.

Having achieved his goal, Chen Zhao suddenly stood up, released Yu Ran's hand, and said, "Then it's settled."

As he spoke, he walked towards his bedside and finally opened his huge suitcase, only to find that something very tragic had happened.

He brought an air-conditioning blanket and a new pillow, but not pillowcases or sheets.

Chen Zhao stared at the messy suitcase in front of him, then slammed it shut.

He looked at Yu Ran with a serious expression. "Yu Ran, I don't think it's a good idea to take up your precious afternoon. Let's go to the supermarket now."

Yu Ran dried her half-dry hair, glanced at him sideways, and snorted, "Forgot something? A sheet? A blanket? Or a pillowcase? It wasn't a pillow, was it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao touched the tip of his nose, not expecting that Yu Ran had seen through his little scheme at a glance.

"I didn't bring a sheet or pillowcase."

Yu Ran said helplessly, "Chen Zhao, I remember Auntie packed everything up for you and put it in your closet, right?"

Chen Zhao felt even more guilty and clasped his hands together, "Please, please don't tell my mom. If she finds out, she'll definitely scold me."

Yu Ran put down the towel in her hand, plugged in the hair dryer, and glanced at Chen Zhao sideways. "Wait."

"Yu Ran, you're the best."

Chen Zhao knew that he had agreed, so she obediently got up and sat upright on Yu Ran's bed, like a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor.

A moment later, his straight back slumped down, and he pounced on Yu Ran's bed, burying his face in the pillow, looking incredibly content.

Seeing Gu Yao return, Chen Zhao quickly sat up and looked at Gu Yao, "Gu Yao, your brother is gone?"

Gu Yao nodded.

Seeing that Gu Yao didn't seem very interested, Chen Zhao assumed that he was having trouble adjusting to being away from home for the first time, so he stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Is this your first time boarding at home?"

Gu Yao was taken aback, then nodded.

Chen Zhao had an "I knew it" look on his face and put his hand on Gu Yao's shoulder. "It's always like this the first time. Once you get used to it, you'll find that living at school isn't so bad."

Gu Yao looked at the person smiling brightly in front of him, and only after a moment of surprise did he realize that this person was comforting him.

He was somewhat amused and exasperated, but a warm feeling washed over him. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

He was always a loner in his past life, so he should be even better off in this one.

Seeing that Gu Yao was still not in a good mood, Chen Zhao simply pulled Gu Yao aside and started chatting about all sorts of things.

Yu Ran silently turned up the airflow and temperature of the hair dryer by one level.

It wasn't the temperature he was used to, but it made his hair dry faster.

His gaze fell on the hand Chen Zhao had placed on Gu Yao's shoulder, his brows furrowed, revealing a gloomy expression.

Two minutes later, the hairdryer stopped. Yu Ran rolled up the cord, picked up his phone, stood up, turned to look at Chen Zhao, and said coldly, "Aren't you leaving?"

Chen Zhao stopped talking, looked at the somewhat impatient Yu Ran, and quickly stood up, "Go right away."

Seeing this, Yu Ran snorted and walked to the door to wait for Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao hurriedly grabbed his phone and headed for the door. After opening it, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Gu Yao, asking, "Gu Yao, we're going to the supermarket. Is there anything you need to bring?"

Gu Yao shook his head.

"Okay, ask Yu Bai later if there's anything he needs to bring. If so, send me a message."

Gu Yao nodded. "Okay."

Meanwhile, Yu Ran, who was waiting on the side, was getting impatient. "Chen Zhao, are we leaving or not?"

"Gone, gone."

The dormitory door slammed shut, and the two voices gradually faded into the distance.
