Chapter 57: If I'm Not Good to You, Who Would I Be Good To?
"Zihan, don't be in such a hurry, they might have something to discuss."
Liuli said in a low voice.
"That man is Chu Feng, do you know Chu Feng? Siyun is his daughter, you are now a member of the Gu family, they might do something to you, it's better to leave."
Zihan also said in a low voice.
But Liuli still wanted to take another look at Chu Feng. She didn't know why, but she always felt that when he looked at her, she had an urge to cry.
"Zihan, don't worry, I just invited Liuli to have a meal."
Ze Yan explained.
"Do you think I believe that?"
Zihan asked in return.
"Child, I just heard from Ze Yan that she looks a bit like Siyun, so I wanted to come and see her. For so many years, I've never heard Ze Yan say anyone looked like Siyun..."
In Chu Feng's eyes, there was an unconcealable sorrow.
Zihan couldn't bring herself to be heartless anymore, but did Liuli look like Siyun?
Liuli saw the sorrow in the man's eyes, and her own heart felt blocked, inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Then just this once."
Zihan said, and only then did she pull Liuli to sit down. With so many people coming and going, they wouldn't do anything so blatantly.
"How old are you this year?"
Chu Feng asked, his eyes looking at Liuli with kindness.
"I'm twenty."
Chu Feng immediately thought that if Siyun were still here, she would be about the same age.
Chu Feng saw that Liuli's light black eyes were like Siyun's mother's.
"Did you grow up in Luohai City?"
"Yes."
The more Chu Feng looked, the more he felt her eyes were too much like Siyun's.
Chu Feng realized that she also had the surname Chu.
When Siyun was lost, she was already six years old; she would definitely remember her own name. And Siyun had been smart since she was little; even if she were abandoned, she would have found a way home. But she never returned home, which was why they thought Siyun was long gone, and searching for her was just for comfort.
Liuli having the surname Chu might just be a coincidence. Chu Feng didn't believe that Siyun wouldn't recognize him at all if she saw him now.
Maybe Liuli was just like Ze Yan said, like Siyun, but not Siyun.
But being like Siyun was fine too, so at least he wouldn't be unable to see even a shadow of Siyun.
"Child, come to the Chu family to play when you have time."
"Mm."
"Ze Yan, you guys eat, I won't disturb you."
"Alright, uncle, take care."
"Shen Zeyan, eating is eating, why call Mr. Chu over? It's quite scary."
As soon as Chu Feng left, Zihan spoke up.
"Don't worry, Liuli is my friend, I won't hurt her."
"That's good, remember what you said today."
"Alright, Zihan."
"The barbecue is here!"
Abo brought the barbecue over with a smile.
"Thank you, Abo!"
Liuli said.
"You guys eat quickly! Call me when you're done!"
"Alright, Abo worked hard."
Zihan said.
"Shen Zeyan, why do you think Liuli looks like Siyun?" Zihan couldn't help but ask, "You wouldn't have approached Liuli just because of this, would you?"
Liuli also wanted to hear Ze Yan's answer. Did he approach her because she looked like Siyun?
"She and Siyun are indeed a bit alike, but I approached her because she is Chu Liuli, not because of Siyun."
Ze Yan answered.
Liuli smiled; because she was Chu Liuli, he became friends with her.
"Is there still no news of Siyun?"
Zihan asked again.
"No."
The light in Ze Yan's eyes vanished instantly.
"Brother Ze Yan, try this, it's quite delicious."
Liuli handed him a skewer of enoki mushrooms and looked at Zihan, signaling her not to talk about these unhappy things anymore.
"Thank you."
"We must not let cousin find out about us meeting Ze Yan today."
After returning to the Gu family, Zihan instructed Liuli.
"I know, but I don't want to hide it from him either. When he's in a better mood, I'll tell him."
"That's fine, just don't argue again."
"The way you say it, it's like he and I argue every day."
"You two make up fast, but you also argue fast, who knows!"
"Then you should find someone who doesn't argue with you in the future, like Cheng Li."
Liuli teased.
"Don't mention Cheng Li."
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't want to think of him until you mentioned him, now that you mentioned him, I miss him even more."
"Ugh—"
Liuli was about to be nauseated by Zihan. She thought something had happened between Cheng Li and Zihan again, but hearing what Zihan said, she was speechless.
"Back so late?"
As soon as she entered the room, Gu Die asked.
"I just..."
Liuli hesitated whether to tell Gu Die she went to eat with Ze Yan.
"Brother Ze Yan invited me out to eat just now."
She said it after all; she didn't want to hide it from him.
"He invited you and you went?"
"Mm."
"Chu Liuli, do you have no brain? I've told you many times not to get close to him."
This was the first time Gu Die spoke to her in this tone, and she was scared stiff.
"Don't you know he hates me? It's dangerous for you to be with him."
Liuli hugged him; it turned out he was just worried about her safety.
"Ze Yan, he's my friend, he's very good to me, he won't do anything to me."
She just couldn't refuse Ze Yan; she always felt Ze Yan was very strange yet very familiar.
"Then next time you go out with him, tell me, okay?"
Gu Die stroked her hair and asked.
"Alright."
She didn't expect Gu Die to agree to her treating Ze Yan as a friend.
"Go wash up, it's not early."
"Alright."
The next day, Ze Yan sent her a message again, inviting her out.
She saw Gu Die wasn't in bed, only hearing sounds coming from the bathroom.
"Awake?"
Gu Die asked when he saw she had gotten up; he was still brushing his teeth.
"Mm."
"Brother Ze Yan has something and invited me out, can I go?"
Liuli asked.
"Since you trust him, then go."
"Alright, Gu Die, you're really good to me."
Liuli kissed his lips, getting a bit of toothpaste foam.
"If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"
Gu Die stroked her hair.
"Liuli!"
Zihan shouted as soon as she saw Liuli come downstairs.
Liuli was puzzled; why did she get up so early today?
"Are you in such a good mood today?"
Liuli asked; Zihan had been smiling like a fool since early morning.
"Yeah! I'm in such a good mood! Do you want to know why?"
"No."
Liuli just sat down to eat.
"I'll tell you the truth! Cheng Li invited me out!"
"Really?"
Liuli was half-believing; Cheng Li wasn't the type to take initiative.
"Of course it's true? Would I lie to you? See for yourself!"
It really was Cheng Li who sent it.
"You guys added each other on WeChat? What stage have you developed to now?"
Liuli's curiosity was successfully piqued.
"Now? Hard to say, isn't this because of my charm!"
Zihan said narcissistically. Liuli was speechless; she was floating in the clouds, as if she wasn't the one who got drunk for Cheng Li before.
"Anyway, I can't accompany you today, cousin, Liuli is handed over to you today!"
Gu Die gave her a cold look.
"What? Isn't it good to have time alone for you two? Then I'll just stay home and be a third wheel."
"It's that I have something to do and need to go out today."
Liuli explained.
"Oh, I see! Where are you going?"
"Just worry about yourself, have a pleasant date!"
"Alright, then I'm off!"
"Hey, come back! Are you going on a date wearing this?"
Liuli saw Zihan was only wearing pajamas.
"Good thing you reminded me, I'll go change clothes now."
Zihan was so happy she didn't even know she hadn't changed clothes; she really was a love-struck fool.
Liuli was worried, so she went to see what clothes Zihan would change into.
"Liuli, look, do I look good in this?"
"No."
Liuli refused flatly. Cheng Li wouldn't like such a revealing style. It looked good, showing off her figure, but to wear this on a first date, she didn't know what Zihan was thinking.
"Then help me pick one? You know what Cheng Li likes."
"You have to see for yourself, you don't expect me to pick for you every time you go on a date, do you?"
"Then I'll just wear anything."
Zihan went to change into a sky-blue floral short skirt.
"This is not bad, pretty!"
Liuli gave her a thumbs up.
"Then I'll wear this one!"
Liuli saw there were more men's clothes inside.
"Liuli, see, those are all couple outfits!"
"Who bought them?"
"Cousin, of course. Every time he sees me wearing the same as you, he's been envious and jealous!"
"He really is."
"It's okay, if you don't want to wear them with him, I can reluctantly wear them with you!"
"You're reluctant?! I don't want to wear them with you! I only wear them with my Gu Die!"
"Your Gu Die? Chu Liuli, you friend-forgetting person!"
"Why so much talk! Are you going on your date or not? Cheng Li doesn't like waiting!"
"Time's almost up! I'm leaving!"
Zihan checked the time and ran out hurriedly.
"Slow down!"
"Chen Bo, take me!"
"Yes, miss."
Liuli watched Zihan leave, then considered what she should wear. Since Gu Die had already bought couple outfits, she would wear one. She had promised him she would wear them with him next time.
"Gu Die!"
Liuli shouted, and Gu Die came over in a moment.
"Look, does it look good?"
She wore a green short-sleeve with a white short skirt.
"Pretty."
"Then do you want to wear it?"
Liuli signaled that these were couple outfits.
"Of course I do, from now on we'll always wear couple outfits."
"Alright, go change quickly."
"Mm."
"Very handsome!"
As soon as Gu Die came out changed, Liuli praised him.
"Why is your mouth so sweet?"
He pulled her into his arms.
"It became sweet when I met you, so annoying!"
"Really? Let me taste."
A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he lightly bit her lips.
"Really sweet."
"Hateful..."
She said he was hateful while enjoying his passionate kiss.
"I'm going out, wait for me to come back."
"What for when you come back?"
Gu Die said in a teasing tone.
"Guess."
"I can't guess."
"Wait for me to come back, and you'll know."
"Then I'll wait obediently, waiting for you to give me a surprise..."
"Alright, I'm really leaving." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
