Chapter 17: Have You Heard of a Supor Rice Cooker? (Part 2)

The car over there had already started, carrying a carload of people, and had already driven away.

Standing by the side of the road, Su Poyang watched the BMW that had already sped off into the distance, shaking his head with a touch of amusement, then took a spare canister of gasoline out of the trunk.

Some towing company, that was all fake...

He had merely been testing the waters when he made that call to Gu Liyan, wanting to probe his attitude; he hadn't expected him to actually come.

Gu Liyan, oh Gu Liyan, you always used to say that it was because you didn't like her that you ended up hurting this Zhou Xiaoru...

I wonder if you have truly set your heart on this young lady now...

At this moment, inside the BMW, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, simply because the handsome Gu was under too much low pressure!

No one spoke; everyone seemed very tired, and the three people in the back seat were already "asleep" in a disheveled heap.

Zhou Xiaoru, sitting in the passenger seat, kept her eyes on the scenery passing by outside the window, her mind locked in a battle between heaven and man!

Looking at how things were just now, these two comrades seemed to still be in a cold war.

Should she or should she not tell Gu Liyan that his partner was eating from the communal pot and had one foot in two boats!

Although this guy used to be quite a scumbag, he had now encountered a scumbag himself; does this count as the cycle of the Dao, and who has the heavens ever spared!

Unconsciously, she swallowed hard again; she had eaten too much grilled fish earlier, and now her throat was almost parched to the point of smoking.

For the first time, Zhou Xiaoru felt that sitting in a car was as uncomfortable as sitting on nails.

Her head had been tilted to one side the whole time, and by now it was aching terribly, but if she turned it, wouldn't she have to see that face next to her again...

Forget it, better to let it ache!

But this atmosphere was just too awkward!

Damn it, is that guy Su Poyang brainless? To actually let his lover send his former girlfriend home?

He really is generous!

Perhaps because the current atmosphere was indeed a bit too stifling, Gu Liyan thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak.

"How does it feel to be working these past few days? Are you getting used to it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoru blinked her eyes. Was he talking to her?

She had originally wanted to pretend she didn't hear, but on second thought, they could be considered old acquaintances; chatting with an old acquaintance wasn't such a big deal.

Thinking this, she felt relieved...

But this question...

Asking her how it feels?

How she feels—doesn't he know that in his own heart!

She had been living in deep water and scorching fire every single day these past few days! And he has the nerve to ask if she's used to it! Used to your head!

Although she was indignant and her resentment was hard to dispel, she followed his lead and replied with two words.

"It's okay."

She even took this opportunity to slowly move her stiff neck.

The man gripping the steering wheel, hearing this answer, couldn't help but curl the corners of his handsome mouth.

He had long since seen that teeth-gritting expression in the rearview mirror.

It seemed that Su Poyang's affairs had already pushed her to the point of jumping with rage.

He then asked, "After graduation, do you have any plans?"

This time, Zhou Xiaoru kept her guard up; she didn't directly state her wish to stay at Tengyuan for long-term development, but instead changed her phrasing.

She said nonchalantly, "What plans could I have? Find a job, find a place to live; I have to support myself first, right?"

Is this big CEO trying to understand the plight of the people! Asking this and that.

Gu Liyan's mouth remained curved; it was clear he was in a very good mood.

Zhou Xiaoru inadvertently caught a glimpse of that guy, his eyes full of smiles.

Smiling?! What is he happy about? He's been cheated on, and he can still smile?

I really don't know what he's thinking!

Her mind spun in a circle and returned to the original question!

Should she or should she not tell this person what she saw tonight...

And this question, Zhou Xiaoru held back until they reached the school gate, without ever saying it out loud...

By this time, the car had come to a steady stop, and the three people in the back seat, who had been "fast asleep" since getting into the car, all tumbled out with a rumble.

Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but despise these people in her heart once again!

They were actually all faking sleep?! It made her so angry that her eyebrows twitched twice...

Not in a hurry to get out of the car, she intended to chat with Gu Liyan for a few more moments.

She rolled down the window, poked her head out, and said to the three people outside the car.

"You guys go back to the Dormitory first, I still have things to do."

Upon hearing this, the three of them all gasped, and Jiang Bufan even came up and cupped her head, which was exposed outside the car window.

"Baby! You are the Chinese cabbage that our Dormitory has carefully cultivated for four years; how can you be cheapened by a pig just like that!"

As soon as these words were out, not only were there three black lines on Zhou Xiaoru's face, but the man inside the car looked even darker than the sky.

"Stop talking nonsense and get back to the Dormitory right now!!"

Xiao Lan also had a look of "heartbroken grief," and just as she was about to say something, she was dragged away by Yao Xiang, who couldn't bear to watch anymore...

Yao Xiang, suffering unspeakably, dragged one Oscar winner after another; it was a real pity these two didn't go study acting!

Not until she watched them enter the school gate did Zhou Xiaoru let out a sigh; day after day, her heart really couldn't take it.

She coughed twice to ease the awkwardness...

The man on the side had been watching her movements in the rearview mirror the whole time...

Now, every time he sees her, it gives him a different feeling...

During the year they were dating, he really understood too little, far too little, about her.

He took the initiative to speak, "If you have something to say, just say it; I saw you struggling with it the whole way here."

Although they hadn't said much on the way, his peripheral vision had been keeping an eye on her the entire time.

Zhou Xiaoru sighed heavily again, turning her body to look at the peerless, handsome, scumbag man in the driver's seat, who, despite wearing casual gray clothing, still looked exceptionally elegant and dashing.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she said something completely irrelevant...

"Do you... have you ever heard of a brand of Dianfan Guo called Supor?"

The man frowned slightly upon hearing this, seriously pondering the statement; he first shook his head, then nodded.

"I think I've heard of it, why?"

This girl's train of thought is truly unique! Every time she speaks, it leaves people stunned.

Seeing that he knew it, Zhou Xiaoru's eyes lit up instantly, and she pressed on.

"Then do you know, besides cooking rice, what else a Dianfan Guo can do?"

The more he heard, the deeper his frown became; Gu Liyan stared at the person whose eyes were shining, and began to think seriously again.

"Isn't a Dianfan Guo only for cooking rice? What else could it do!"

Although he wasn't very good at cooking, he knew the basic common sense; why was she suddenly discussing the functions of a Dianfan Guo with him for no reason?

This girl must have a hidden meaning in her words!

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoru said with some exasperation, "You're so dense! A Dianfan Guo can not only cook rice, but also porridge; the one in our dormitory can also make soup, cook vegetables, boil noodles, make hot pot... If I put it this way, do you... understand!"

She had made it so obvious, just wanting to tell him that Su Poyang's Dianfan Guo cooks men and women in one pot, accepting all comers in one stew!

Gu Liyan became more confused the more he heard, so he simply leaned a little closer to the girl,

"Xiaoru... what exactly are you trying to tell me?"

Such a gentle voice made our Miss Zhou's face go numb, her little heart started thumping, and she almost couldn't control her drool.

She stammered, "Th... that... are you in a cold war with... President Su?"

As the words fell, the man's expression changed, and before Zhou Xiaoru could shrink back, she had already been pulled over by the person in front of her.

The man's breath sprayed onto her face as he spoke, word by word.

"I'll say it again! I don't have that kind of relationship with Su Poyang! My sexual orientation is very normal! If you don't believe me... I'll kiss you right now!"

".........." Zhou Xiaoru was so scared she covered her mouth; she really didn't want to live anymore!

To think she would show off her skills before an expert, and make a fool of herself!

She shouldn't bring this kind of thing up in front of him again in the future; wasn't this just digging her own grave and burying herself...

But how was she supposed to tell him that Su Poyang was cheating on him behind his back!

Looking at those clear, black-and-white eyes filled with terror, Gu Liyan couldn't help but soften inside; he had finally balanced the relationship between them, he couldn't scare her away again.

It was just that perhaps even he hadn't realized that if it weren't a woman he cared about, if she ran, she ran; why would he care so much?

He loosened his grip slightly and asked again, pretending to be very serious.

"Do you dare to talk nonsense again in the future?"

The person covering her mouth shook her head vigorously...

If she didn't say it in front of him, saying it to Su Poyang would be fine, right!

The man's expression gradually relaxed, and after letting go, he lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoru couldn't help but frown; she remembered that this person didn't smoke before...

Then, she felt a shiver run through her entire body!

Whether he smokes or not, what the hell does it have to do with her! She should just pray for her own luck and go back to chant some scriptures.

She pulled the car door open, preparing to retreat quickly!

"That... thank you for driving us back; it's getting late, you should go home quickly too, stay safe on the road."

This was the most polite thing she had ever said...

Just as she was about to get out, her butt had only lifted halfway when her wrist was grabbed again by the man in the driver's seat!

Panicked, she opened her eyes wide, looking at the passing classmates who were occasionally glancing into the car.

Her face flushed for no reason, and her body stiffened, not daring to move! She asked with her back turned to him.

"Wh... wh... what are you doing!"

She stammered so much she almost bit her own tongue!

At this time, the Big Boss behind her let go of her wrist, leaned over, and opened the drawer in front of the passenger seat.

He took out a bottle of water from inside and handed it to Zhou Xiaoru...

All the way here, he had noticed this girl kept swallowing, and shaking the thing she hadn't taken yet, he said.

"I guess you must be thirsty, here for you..."

Zhou Xiaoru stared at the object in front of her, thinking in her mind, how did he know she was thirsty!

Too late to think too much, she took the water bottle, said two words, "Many thanks!" and got out of the car again.

The man in the car watched the person running into the school gate as if escaping from prison, and his eyebrows curved into a smile once more...

Zhou Xiaoru hugged the bottle of water and walked on the road, feeling anxious; her brain had already turned into a mess!

What kind of path are Gu Liyan and Su Poyang taking! Why is she getting more and more confused!

One is desperately denying the relationship, the other is desperately maintaining it!

Are they playing house!

She really doesn't understand their adult world...

It's just that, perhaps she is the only one who doesn't understand...
