Chapter 38 Not eating? Then go hungry.
"Crackling."
The red flames, accompanied by sparks, floated in the air along with the white smoke until they went out.
Two campfires were lit in the dark forest.
The intervals are similar, no more than ten meters apart.
On one side was the campfire where the masters were encamped, and on the other side was the campfire where the subordinates were camped.
However, a master was mixed in with the Xie family's guards.
I sat quietly by the fire, warming myself by the fire.
The guards around her secretly glanced at the woman.
I didn't understand, but I didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Chunxia also sat down next to Qiao Wanwan.
Looking back at the campfire behind them, they saw that they had already started roasting pheasants.
It smelled delicious and was incredibly tasty.
Chunxia was skeptical of the young lady's decision.
Is it worth doing this, or not?
"Miss, shall we sit over there?"
"Why should I sit over there? They don't welcome me. Humph!"
Qiao Wanwan is still angry.
She bought the naan bread herself at the post station.
Now it's fine,
The male protagonist sent them all away.
Instead, they insulted me, calling me selfish!
How could she not be angry?
She would never get close to the male lead again, otherwise she would be doomed.
Qiao Wanwan looked at the foxtail grass swaying in the wind before her eyes.
She saw that the wild grass was just like the male protagonist, Gu Chaomu.
He reached out and ripped it off, then tore it into pieces in his hand.
In a fit of anger, he threw it into the fire and burned it to ashes.
Even pulling out all the weeds couldn't calm her down.
Chunxia, who was standing next to her, sighed as she watched her mistress sulking.
Yes, that's what happened this morning.
Chunxia also felt very angry.
Young Master Gu, is he really this kind of person?
To destroy the interests of others for the sake of one's own chivalrous spirit.
That's really awful.
Sitting next to them would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Especially those who are misunderstood.
Therefore, she felt it was understandable that the young lady was angry.
...
Gu Chaomu had just finished roasting the pheasant; it was sizzling with oil and smelled wonderfully fragrant.
I shared some things with my teammates who were present.
"Xinyue, come, you and your maid have some of this."
"Thank you, Brother Gu."
Zhou Xinyue's maid accepted half a roasted chicken on her behalf.
Gu Chaomu also gave some to Xie Ze, who was warming himself by the fire and resting with his eyes closed.
"Brother Xie, this is for you."
Xie Ze was slightly taken aback when he heard Gu Chaomu's voice.
She opened her eyes, looked at the roast chicken in front of her, and smiled at Gu Chaomu.
Refusing to thank:
"No, Mr. Xie is still ill. He cannot eat greasy food."
However, I still thank Brother Gu for thinking of me.
"Okay then, I'll eat it myself."
Gu Chaomu returned to her seat and looked at the half roasted chicken.
It seems like I've forgotten something?
Suddenly, another person came to mind: Qiao Wanwan.
His gaze drifted toward the fire next door.
All that could be seen was a woman's beautiful profile.
She propped her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the fire in front of her.
Gu Chaomu still had to coax Qiao Wanwan back, so he picked up the half roast chicken.
He walked straight to Qiao Wanwan's side.
The Xie family guards, who were standing by the campfire, realized that the Xie family had something to talk about and it was not appropriate for them to stay.
He then gave a knowing look.
With a "whoosh".
Everyone suddenly disappeared.
"?"
Qiao Wanwan blinked, and everyone around her disappeared.
She was very curious.
Chunxia, the maid beside him, saw Gu Chaomu walking over.
He quickly reminded the lady next to him.
"Miss, Young Master Gu has arrived."
"... "
Qiao Wanwan turned her head slightly and saw the annoying male lead.
I feel annoyed.
She abruptly withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at the person who had approached.
Gu Chaomu walked naturally to her side.
He handed over half a roasted chicken, twigs stuck in its shell.
"Wanwan, this is for you. Take it."
"... "
What do you mean by "this is for you"?
Is Qiao Wanwan a beggar?
Gu Chaomu doesn't reflect on her mistakes at all.
And he was even standing right next to her, looking down at her as he spoke to her?
What kind of attitude is this?!
If it weren't for him...
I can't possibly go hungry right now.
What's even more infuriating is that the other party really thinks that Qiao Wanwan absolutely needs to rely on him?
Qiao Wanwan snorted coldly and did not reach out to take it.
No bird cares about him.
"... "
When Gu Chaomu was given the cold shoulder by Qiao Wanwan, his initial desire to coax her vanished instantly.
It seems she doesn't need to be coaxed anymore.
Because she's being completely willful right now and won't listen to anything I say.
Gu Chaomu said again seriously:
"Are you going to eat or not?"
"I won't eat your food, and I won't eat it again in the future."
"Miss…"
Chunxia, who was standing next to Qiao Wanwan, was a little scared when she saw Gu Chaomu's face darken.
He reached out and tugged at the young lady's sleeve.
If you remind her that Young Master Gu is about to get angry...
Qiao Wanwan was no pushover; she pulled her sleeve back.
With a cold expression, she glared at the man.
Let him be angry.
It's fine for me to be angry, but why can't he be angry?
Does he expect her, the victim, to shamelessly fawn over him?
funny! !
"Wanwan, I know you're still angry about what happened this morning."
But you should also think about it.
Don't you think it's a happy thing to have saved so many people?
Wouldn't that make you feel better?
Qiao Wanwan found this statement particularly amusing.
They've taken all the credit for doing good deeds.
They themselves become the selfish and wicked ones who serve as foils for them, and of course they feel comfortable with that.
"Whether you feel comfortable or not is your business; I don't feel comfortable at all."
Instead, you all blame me for being selfish.
If it were you, would you be happy?
"You take my provisions and give them away to others, have you ever considered my feelings?"
The man was speechless in the face of Qiao Wanwan's question.
The woman sneered.
He continued to mock:
"Hmph! Of course you don't."
How could you possibly consider my feelings?
I know that all you care about is your own face.
As for the interests of others, that's none of your business.
"No, Wanwan, don't overthink it."
I did this out of kindness, wanting to help them.
We'll pay you for those naan breads; just consider it as selling them.
"Sell?"
"... "
"Ridiculous! Do you think I, the daughter of a martial arts alliance leader and a rich young lady, am short of such a small amount of money?"
They're arguing over here.
A swordsman resting in a nearby tree suddenly heard a young lady say that she was the daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
His scarred eyelids opened slightly.
Looking at the man and woman under the tree, their gazes were fixed on the woman.
His eyes gradually darkened.
...
Gu Chaomu's face darkened after being rebuked by the woman, but he refused to admit that it was his fault.
He felt that the woman in front of him was being unreasonable.
I don't understand what he means.
The man said in a tone of impatience and slight anger:
"Qiao Wanwan, it seems you're still not hungry. Then you don't need to eat."
The woman thought, "I can be willful all I want."
But we can't show weakness to Gu Chaomu either.
She had done nothing wrong, and she didn't need Gu Chaomu's begging.
He stubbornly said:
"Yes, even if I'm starving, I won't eat anything you give me."
You can go back to your seat, and don't come looking for me again! That's all.
"An unreasonable woman!"
"Get out of here!"
"!!"
As Gu Chaomu listened to the woman's cursing, his expression grew even more disgusted.
I thought to myself:
Don't eat?
Let her go hungry then.
Let's see if she'll cause any more trouble.
Gu Chaomu took back the half roasted chicken from his hand.
He left angrily and returned to the campfire next door.
When Zhou Xinyue saw Gu Chaomu return in a huff, she offered him a word of comfort.
“Brother Gu, Wanwan is still young and doesn’t understand how good you are to her.”
You'll gradually understand later, don't worry.
With Zhou Xinyue's comfort, the man's anger gradually subsided.
Pretend to be considerate of others.
Sighed.
"Hey."
"I hope so, that she can quickly grasp my teachings and grow up quickly."
That way, I won't have to worry so much when I take her traveling around the world.
"Most definitely."
The woman smiled warmly.
I feel so fortunate:
It seems that Brother Gu doesn't really like Qiao Wanwan very much.
She then relaxed a lot.
At least now we know that Qiao Wanwan can't compete with her for Brother Gu.
...
"Gululu~"
A familiar voice came from the woman's abdomen.
The person who just stubbornly insisted that they wouldn't eat anything from Gu Chaomu.
Now, however, they are starving.
Very uncomfortable.
