At the dinner table, Leng Qingqiu held her bowl, frowning as she stared at Gu Yan's life essence.
Or rather, at the position of his mouth.
But soon, she realized how perverted her thoughts were and quickly lowered her head as if nothing had happened.
Damn it, how could she think like that? Wouldn't that make her as much of a pervert as Gu Yan?
Leng Qingqiu, Leng Qingqiu, don't think about such unrealistic things. Maybe it was just a coincidence earlier.
Gu Yan is just an ordinary person who can shatter marble, nothing more. Don't overthink it.
An ordinary person, how special could their physique be?
While denying these thoughts in her mind, Leng Qingqiu continued eating, trying to appear as normal as possible.
Of course, her clumsy acting had already caught Gu Yan's attention.
He looked at Leng Qingqiu. In just the time they had been eating, she had already glanced at him more than a dozen times.
Could it be!
Gu Yan covered his mouth, his eyes revealing that he had guessed everything. Qingqiu wants me to feed her?
But... what if I'm wrong?
No, no, Gu Yan, don't you understand? You're Gu Yan! The ultimate pure love warrior of the universe!
Even if Leng Qingqiu says no, you have to push forward shamelessly!
So, Gu Yan moved a chair and sat beside Leng Qingqiu.
The movement startled Leng Qingqiu, and she instinctively shrank back: "What are you doing?"
"Qingqiu, have you been paying attention to me since we started eating? I know you can't see, but I can see through your body that your heart seems to be... peeking... Ugh!"
Before Gu Yan could finish, Leng Qingqiu, embarrassed and angry, punched him in the chest.
He immediately bent over, clutching his chest, writhing in the dark.
"What do you mean 'through my body'! Don't say such misleading things!"
Leng Qingqiu retracted her hand, her heart racing.
Oh no, did I reveal too much? But I really am curious.
I thought Gu Yan was just an ordinary person, but now it seems there's more to him.
Oh right, wasn't Bai Lian said to have some kind of natural charm body?
Could Gu Yan also have a special physique?
The more Leng Qingqiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. As someone with the ability to infiltrate anywhere and steal information, she knew there were many naturally awakened warriors in this world.
Maybe Gu Yan is one of them, and he suddenly awakened his special physique at the banquet?
Thinking of this, Leng Qingqiu felt a bit strange. What kind of physique could aid in cultivation?
Could it be... Gu Yan awakened some strange, furnace-like physique?
The moment she thought of being a furnace, Leng Qingqiu scolded herself for being a pervert.
It's all Gu Yan's fault, making me think like this. However, testing is indeed necessary.
There were a few times before when Gu Yan used his chopsticks, and I was too embarrassed to use them after him.
But now... it's worth testing, of course, without letting Gu Yan notice anything.
So, Leng Qingqiu cleared her throat, extending her hand to comfort Gu Yan, her tone as gentle as could be: "Gu Yan, where does your chest hurt? Should I...?"
"Qingqiu, are you feeling feverish?"
Gu Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Something about Leng Qingqiu now was very different from usual.
?
Leng Qingqiu's expression stiffened. Be patient!!
"Hehe, don't talk nonsense."
Leng Qingqiu scooped up some soup with a spoon and held it to Gu Yan's mouth, trying her best to appear natural: "Here, Gu Yan."
Gu Yan looked at the spoon pressed against his mouth, then at Leng Qingqiu's forced smile.
He hesitated, cautiously asking: "Qingqiu? Are you going to feed me?"
This is weird. Could it be that Leng Qingqiu's intention all along was to feed him personally?
Ah, we're practically an old married couple, why be so shy?
If you want to feed me, just say so, why...
Bang!!
"Cough!!"
Feeling Gu Yan's inaction, Leng Qingqiu's embarrassment quickly turned to anger. She punched Gu Yan in the chest again and demanded coldly: "Drink!"
Her demeanor was like a wealthy woman forcing someone under her control.
"I'll drink! I'll drink!"
Gu Yan quickly nodded and accepted Leng Qingqiu's feeding.
Seeing Gu Yan obediently comply, Leng Qingqiu felt quite satisfied.
It seemed she had also awakened some strange fetish. With her other hand, she gently placed it on Gu Yan's head.
She stroked it lightly, her voice soft: "Drink, my dear."
?
This time, it was Gu Yan who slowly raised an eyebrow.
He shook his head to get rid of Leng Qingqiu's hand and said, "Qingqiu, what are you doing? Are you treating me like your pampered little puppy?"
Leng Qingqiu retracted her hand, snorted, and denied: "What are you talking about? I was just comforting you."
"Really?"
Gu Yan was skeptical, because...
【Pure Love Target is very satisfied with this method, points +500~】
【Pure Love Target has awakened the 'domination' fetish, points +10000, please continue to work hard and cooperate with the Pure Love Target~~】
【Pure Love Target...】
The system doesn't seem to agree.
"Yes, what did you think! Am I that kind of person!"
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't trust her, Leng Qingqiu became furious and put the spoon aside.
Then, she slightly raised her head and said with a hum: "Besides, what you said isn't entirely wrong."
"If one day you are kicked out of the Gu Family and have nowhere to go..."
Leng Qingqiu's voice carried a hint of something unspoken. She gently stroked Gu Yan's cheek, teasing his heart.
With a voice full of wisdom, she playfully smiled: "You can indeed come to me and beg me to support you."
Thump! Thump!
Gu Yan was dumbfounded. In short, she was very cute!
Leng Qingqiu also felt Gu Yan's heart racing, but even if she was embarrassed, she had to maintain a calm and composed appearance.
Yes, I must be the one in control of this relationship...
Just as she thought this.
Slap!
Gu Yan grabbed Leng Qingqiu's hand and, amidst her flustered expression, shouted loudly: "So!! After supporting me, can I do anything to you, Qingqiu?! Or you can do anything to me, and I can accept it! Otherwise, I'll leave the Gu Family right now, Qingqiu! Support me! Then! Let's do this and that!"
"Every day! Night and day..."
Leng Qingqiu blushed to the roots of her hair. She quickly shook off Gu Yan, covering her chest and shouting, "Who would do that!!"
Oh heavens, Leng Qingqiu realized she had underestimated Gu Yan's limits.
Damn it, how embarrassing, I broke down in an instant. Is this your true strength, Gu Yan?
Fine! Since that's the case, I guess I need to read some books on how to date.
Oh right, didn't I confiscate a lot of Ling'er's romance novels before? I can use them to study.
Gu Yan was quite disappointed. He had thought he could achieve everything in one go.
But it's fine. He looked at the flustered Leng Qingqiu and said with regret: "Alright, Qingqiu, if you want to support me, you can tell me anytime, and I'll get ready to come over."
"Also..."
Gu Yan gave Leng Qingqiu a thumbs up: "Even a shy Qingqiu is very cute!"
After saying that, he quickly grabbed his bowl and utensils and ran to the kitchen to clean up.
Thump! Thump!
Leaving Leng Qingqiu alone, her heart raced with embarrassment.
You bad guy...
Leng Qingqiu covered her chest, her heart pounding furiously.
I... I should be the only one allowed to make you fall for me.
This way, how am I supposed to maintain my dignity in front of my subordinates?
Leng Qingqiu was very frustrated. Why did her heart race like this... Damn it...
Gu Yan, just wait, the more you act like this, the more you'll regret it!
Leng Qingqiu quietly picked up the spoon Gu Yan had used to drink the soup.
Gu Yan, don't get too smug... If the experiment succeeds, you'll be stuck being my furnace for cultivation for the rest of your life!!
Hehehe~~~
