Chapter 183: About to Leave

Gu Feng's hand holding the chopsticks stalled, and his look at Ji Jiangci instantly changed.

No wonder Ye Xi'an still wants this male despite his age—turns out he's a top scholar; sigh, the competition pressure these days is really too high.

After the meal, Gu Feng insisted on washing the dishes.

Gu Feng was rubbing a bowl in his hand, but his eyes furtively glanced at Ji Jiangci, who was also washing dishes nearby.

But every time Ji Jiangci turned to look at him, Gu Feng would, out of self-deception, turn his head away and pretend he wasn't looking.

Ji Jiangci sighed: "Just say what you want to say directly."

Gu Feng's somewhat stiff expression softened with a hint of shyness: "May I ask how you got the top scholar title? Any recommended tutors?"

"What? You want to study? Then after learning, come chase my wife?"

Having his true intention pointed out, seeing Ji Jiangci's somewhat teasing expression, Gu Feng sensibly shut his mouth.

It's fine; he won't tell him—doesn't he know how to search online? He'll secretly study and then astonish everyone!

Gu Feng and Ye Xi'an's family have basically reconciled; at the very least, he thinks he gets along well with Ye Xi'an.

Because Ye Xi'an accepts the fruits and flowers he sends each time, and she keeps the flowers well; whenever he goes downstairs and looks up, he can see that colorful patch on the rooftop.

He feels Ye Xi'an also has some interest in him; otherwise, how could she not despise him as a defective product and still take such good care of the flowers?

Thinking this, Gu Feng lay on the living-room bed, the two-meter-tall big guy rolling around shyly, his smile impossible to hide.

"Knock knock knock."

Gu Feng stopped his action and, as if teleporting, moved to the door; besides people from Ye Xi'an's household, no one else could possibly be at his home.

He peered through the peephole and saw Ye Xi'an!

He immediately stood straight and quickly used saliva to tidy his hair and clothes.

The top three buttons of his collar were undone, revealing his full, wheat-colored chest muscles.

He opened the door, his face calm: "Is... is there something?"

"I came to bring you fruit."

After Ye Xi'an finished speaking, Bao Jing and Ji Jiangci behind her carried in bag after bag of fruit.

"Why are you sending me so much fruit?"

Ye Xi'an chuckled lightly: "I'm about to go accept a mission, so I probably won't see you for a long time, so I'm bringing you some fruit."

"After I deliver this, I'll leave." Later she still has to bring some to Qiu Yi.

"By the way, aren't you going to do a mission?"

Ye Xi'an found it strange; according to Gu Feng being a single male, if he didn't work long-term he couldn't support his living expenses, and besides, the Federation has recently been urging everyone to do more missions to boost their abilities.

Gu Feng went with the flow: "How about I join you? It would be good to look out for each other."

Lin Zhi Jing refused: "Our assigned missions are currently three-star difficulty planets; you'd definitely need to go to five-star or four-star ones."

"Oh right." Originally Ye Xi'an was happy Gu Feng could go with her, but Lin Zhi Jing's comment made it indeed so.

Her family and Gu Feng are completely on different levels; even the highest-level Lin Zhi Jing is just built up with technology.

"By the way, Gu Feng, I never asked—what's your ability level?"

Ye Xi'an asked casually, but the several males behind her all perked up their ears to listen.

Judging from the current situation, Gu Feng is likely to join the family in the future.

It's not because he's diligent in pursuing her, but because his ability level is high; coincidentally, the insect race is about to invade, and every female family is urgently recruiting high-level beastmen.

Even if Gu Feng is a defective product, many families would still think highly of him.
