Chapter 71 – He Fell for It!
While eating, Mengyao suddenly noticed… something was a little off.
“Qingheng, why does your face look so upset!”
“Sister! Brother-in-law, he’s too much!”
As Mengyao asked, Gu Qingheng immediately replied with a wronged expression, his words making Mengyao even more confused, not knowing what had happened between Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng.
How did things turn out like this in just the time it took to cook.
“Mengyao, I was just worried about Qingheng. After all, a young man his age is prone to overthinking, so you have to keep a close eye on him.”
“Overthinking… I think it’s *you*, brother-in-law! Sister! My brother-in-law always talks nonsense, saying my classmates confessed to me!!! How could someone like me, a tough guy, encounter such a thing!”
After mentioning being misunderstood by Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng’s words were full of grievance.
It was fortunate that Sister Lian’er wasn’t here, otherwise, who knows what she would think of him if she found out!
Brother-in-law, ruining his reputation!
Hearing this, Mengyao felt like crying but also laughing, thinking that these two really knew how to play.
However, what Gu Yu said was also wrong, after all, Gu Qingheng was still young…
“Mengyao, I saw Qingheng with a worried look on his face with my own eyes. When I pushed the door open, he was also hiding a letter with hearts drawn on it!”
Upon hearing her younger brother-in-law complain first, Gu Yu also recounted what he had seen, which caused Gu Qingheng to not say much after hearing it, and he took out the letter from his embrace.
However, after Gu Qingheng deliberately took out the letter with hearts and placed it directly on the table, Gu Yu suddenly felt like he had been tricked.
This paper had nothing written on it.
It was a smoke bomb!
Meanwhile, Mengyao, though unaware of why Gu Qingheng took out the letter, still reached out to take it. Afterwards, she lowered her head to look at the content on the paper and couldn’t help but laugh.
Ayu, you guessed wrong this time.
Moreover, you were completely wrong.
“Mengyao, what are you laughing at?”
“Ayu, take a look at this ‘confession’ letter! It will definitely surprise you.”
Upon seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Mengyao’s face, Gu Yu had a very bad premonition. When he asked Mengyao, Mengyao didn’t say much, she just handed the letter to Gu Yu, letting him see for himself.
When Gu Yu took the letter, his mouth twitched as he looked at the content written inside.
“Brother-in-law, you’ve seen it too, right! It’s just that Zhuo Fei wants to learn martial arts from my sister. I was just hesitating on how to give it to my sister! Now it’s good, my sister has already seen it.”
“Cough, cough, you should have said something like this earlier! You made me so worried, I even thought you…”
“How could that be, it’s just that you’re overthinking, brother-in-law!”
“Zhuo Fei, with his thin and weak appearance, is probably not cut out for martial arts. He shouldn’t waste his effort.”
After knowing it was just written by Gu Qingheng’s good friend, Gu Yu felt a bit awkward and scratched his head. Then, not wanting to continue on this topic, he said that Zhuo Fei was not suitable for practicing martial arts and should not waste his effort.
Gu Yu had met Zhuo Fei a few times and remembered him as just a thin, weak little boy who didn’t seem like he was cut out for martial arts.
However, Gu Qingheng was not happy when he heard this.
“Why not! According to the training requirements my sister gave me, Zhuo Fei has completed them all, and he did them very standardly. I was greatly surprised back then, thinking Zhuo Fei might be a martial arts prodigy!”
“…”
Is there a rule that practicing martial arts requires a strong, big man!
Perhaps, after Zhuo Fei finishes training, he will also become a big man…
Thinking of that scene, Gu Qingheng suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, thinking that Zhuo Fei with his muscular body would truly be unbearable.
For a scholar, it’s better to be thin and delicate.
“No, even if he’s a martial arts prodigy, he can’t come and disturb… cough, cough, bother your sister! How many things is she dealing with every day, and she’s still taking on more at home! Does she want to work herself to death? As a scholar, you should study hard and strive for progress every day…”
Upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu immediately felt a sense of urgency… It was already bad enough with Gu Qingheng, this huge “light bulb,” at home, but he absolutely couldn’t have another one!
With two “light bulbs,” how could he have sweet, loving moments with his little wife at home from now on!
“Sister, are you going to teach Zhuo Fei?”
“If he wants to learn, I can see what his aptitude is like.”
However, Gu Qingheng at this moment smiled slightly like a little devil. He didn’t respond to Gu Yu’s words but turned to look at Mengyao, wanting to ask his sister’s opinion.
His brother-in-law was afraid of someone disturbing them, which was why he tried his best to stop it. But unfortunately… since his sister was the teacher, the decision rested with her.
Mengyao, upon hearing the words “martial arts prodigy,” became eager to see for herself. She wondered what kind of aptitude Zhuo Fei had to be praised so highly by Gu Qingheng.
However, upon seeing her little husband’s displeased expression, Mengyao thought for a moment and then set conditions.
“If Zhuo Fei’s aptitude is average, he should learn from someone else, because learning from me would be the same, I can only offer some suggestions.”
Although Mengyao’s words were subtle, Gu Qingheng understood his sister’s meaning… It was nothing more than her worrying about his brother-in-law getting angry, which was why she said that.
After all, her brother-in-law was petty and easily angered!
“Yes, Sister, you’ll be very surprised when you meet Zhuo Fei! We already agreed that he would come to our house this afternoon, and it won’t take too much time.”
“What, he’s coming this afternoon!”
After hearing Mengyao’s words and his expression easing somewhat, Gu Yu was suddenly utterly dismayed when he heard Gu Qingheng say that he would be meeting them this afternoon.
Immediately, as Gu Yu spoke, he wondered if he could tamper with Zhuo Fei’s medicine so that he couldn’t perform at his true potential.
That would be more secure!
Although it seemed despicable, Gu Yu didn’t feel so.
To achieve the final goal, these were just means.
In life, there absolutely cannot be another “light bulb”!
“Don’t worry, brother-in-law, aren’t you going to the county office this afternoon to chat with Magistrate Bai? You can go with peace of mind! By the time you get back, Zhuo Fei should have finished his assessment, and you can directly hear the results.”
“…”
However, as someone who understood Gu Yu very well, what Gu Qingheng said next completely thwarted Gu Yu’s plan.
It was truly a matter of timing, place, and people, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
As Gu Qingheng thought this in his heart, the smile on his lips was very brilliant, which made Gu Yu feel as if he had fallen into a trap.
Gu Qingheng, this kid is definitely doing this on purpose!
He fell for it!
…
(Haha, meaning, Gu Qingheng deliberately didn’t close the door!)
