Chapter 1422: Helping Out Means Wanting a PK

"No need, it's not that much trouble, I'm not hungry, and well, I have things to do, I'm leaving first." Lu Feifei fled as if escaping.

She ran very fast, unable to let her tears fall in front of those two people.

But she overlooked that by running so fast, she had exposed her inner feelings completely.

"Tsk tsk! This girl is head over heels for you, how can you have the heart to reject such a beautiful girl? Scumbag."

Zichen:...

He had just been full of gratitude toward Gu Yuxin, but the moment she opened her mouth, the gratitude vanished entirely.

Zichen loosened the hand that had been draped around her waist.

But Gu Yuxin was still looking at Lu Feifei's retreating figure, "tsk-tsking" incessantly: "Truly a devoted woman and a heartless man; women are just too emotional."

"Let go, stop holding on endlessly. If you don't mind the heat in this weather, I certainly do."

"Oh, I forgot."

Gu Yuxin hurriedly let go.

It was also strange; he had just finished playing ball, and the sweat in his hair hadn't even dried yet, but the scent on his body wasn't unpleasant.

She felt a bit hot, her face heating up.

"Remember, you owe me a favor; you have to pay it back later, with interest." Gu Yuxin said this and ran off.

Zichen muttered: "In your dreams. You've caused me no shortage of trouble these past few days; consider that the interest you owe me being paid back."

He had just entered the dormitory when he heard Gu Yuxin calling him from downstairs: "Sheng Zichen, come down."

Zichen pushed open the window: "What for?"

"I have something to find you for."

"If you have something to say, say it here; I'm getting ready to shower."

After playing ball, he was covered in sweat, and his clothes were sticking to him, damp and very uncomfortable.

"I heard your cooking is decent, interested in having a PK at the Cafeteria?"

"Wait for me."

Zichen rushed into the bathroom, finished rinsing off in three minutes, quickly threw on clean clothes, and sprinted downstairs.

Gu Yuxin was actually quite satisfied with his speed.

But her satisfaction remained only in her heart; she still complained out loud: "So slow? Dawdling like that, you don't look like a man."

"Right, I'm not a man, you are!" Zichen retorted.

"You..."

Gu Yuxin wanted to threaten him, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back hard.

Forget it, don't scare him off, or there would be no one left to PK with her.

Gu Yuxin was quite satisfied and confident in her own cooking skills.

She wanted to use this PK to once again dampen Sheng Zichen's arrogant spirit!

From childhood until now, no one had ever dared to treat her with this attitude or go against her for so long like Sheng Zichen had.

"Hey! Where are you taking me? This isn't the way to the Cafeteria." Zichen became alert immediately when he realized the path was different.

Although he hadn't been at Jiang University for long, he knew exactly how many cafeterias Jiang University had and where they were located.

"Of course this isn't the way to the Cafeteria; we're going to my house, let's go."

"Your house?"

Zichen stopped in his tracks and wouldn't walk forward anymore.

"Keep walking, are you scared?"

"Yeah, I don't want to go to your house."

Today was the weekend, and at this time, if nothing unexpected happened, Gu Yuxin's family would all be home.

Going to someone's house to have a cooking PK?

That wasn't very appropriate.

"Let's go, my family is very easy to talk to; they aren't tigers, they won't eat you, will they? Dawdling like that, you don't look like a man, come with me..."

Gu Yuxin didn't give him a chance to speak, grabbed Sheng Zichen's arm, and half-dragged him toward her house.

"Let go of me."

"I won't, what if you run away after I let go?"

"Do I dare run? You're like a tigress; if I ran, you'd be able to kill me."

Gu Yuxin thought that made sense, so she let go.

"As if I want to hold onto you? In such hot weather..."

Before she finished her sentence, she realized something was wrong—Sheng Zichen had run off!

"You dare lie to me? You're dead!"

She gritted her teeth, and just as she was thinking about whether to chase after him, she realized she seemed to have misunderstood him; Sheng Zichen hadn't run toward the dormitory but had turned into a convenience store nearby.

Before long, he came out carrying fruit and nutritional supplements.

"Let's go. Looking at how you were just now, you thought I ran away, didn't you? A small-minded person judging a gentleman's heart; I said I wouldn't run, so I wouldn't run."

Gu Yuxin admitted she had misunderstood him, but she wouldn't admit it out loud, so she changed the subject: "You bought these, are they for my parents or for my grandfather?"

"Is there a difference?" Zichen asked.

She replied: "There is a difference. If they're for my parents, it means you like me; giving my mom and dad gifts means you want to gain their approval..."

"Stop! Next reason."

Zichen interrupted her, not forgetting to twist the knife: "I don't like you."

"Hmph! It's good that you don't like me; being liked by you would be the worst luck in eight lifetimes, you rotten peach blossom, you scumbag."

Gu Yuxin rolled her eyes and continued, "If it's for my grandfather, then you're just buttering him up with ulterior motives."

Zichen:...

So no matter who it's for, it's never anything good, right?

He spoke the truth: "I don't have as many schemes as you, and I didn't think that much; it's just that it doesn't feel right to go to someone's house empty-handed, and that has nothing to do with who your parents or grandparents are."

"Your grandfather happens to be the Principal; if he weren't the Principal and were just an old man collecting scraps, I would still do exactly the same thing. This is upbringing, not buttering up, understand?"

Gu Yuxin:...

Fine, even though she was sharp-tongued, at this moment she couldn't think of a better reason to argue back.

"Let's go."

They arrived at Gu Yuxin's home.

The surrounding environment was very quiet and secluded, and the nearby neighbors were all world-renowned scientists and high-level intellectuals.

Walking into such an environment, anyone without a bit of substance or self-confidence would easily feel inferior.

Zichen did not.

All he had was curiosity, because he had never seen this before.

"Gu Yuxin, you asked me to come to your house for a cooking competition, does your family know?"

Gu Yuxin was furious: "What do you mean? You aren't thinking of backing out now, are you?"

"No, I mean you're always unreliable in how you do things; if you invited a boy home without telling your family... Yo! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

His foot had been stepped on hard; it was fortunate that this woman was wearing thick-heeled Spring Shoes, if they had been stilettos... Zichen shuddered, she was truly fierce, whoever married her would be unlucky.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Principal Gu was watering flowers in the yard; he was just wearing a regular undershirt, loose gray shorts, and flip-flops on his feet, looking very casual.

"Student Sheng Zichen, right? Hello, I often hear Yuxin mention you." The Principal put down the watering can, wiped his hand casually on his clothes, and came over to shake hands with Zichen.

The famous Principal Gu had a very easygoing attitude and no airs at all.

Zichen hurriedly moved the items from both hands into one, freeing up a hand to shake the Principal's: "Hello, Principal, I am Sheng Zichen, have you had dinner yet?"

After asking, he almost slapped himself twice; he was at someone's house, and he asked if they had eaten dinner?

Principal Gu didn't blame him and remained smiling: "Not yet, isn't that what we're waiting for you to cook? Today, everyone in our family is a judge, and we guarantee it will be fair and impartial. Let's go, don't talk in the yard, let's go inside."
