Chapter 424 Sharing the Same Pants
Xiao Siyue looked at Gu Xinglan speechlessly: "Does your brother know that you're spreading rumors about him like this?"
Gu Xinglan quickly threatened guiltily, "You're not allowed to tell my brother about this, or he'll punish me."
"Don't worry, we definitely won't tell anyone." How could they dare to tell anyone about this?
The three chattered away for a long time, until a maid called them out for dinner, at which point they reluctantly ended their conversation.
After the three of them came up from the hot spring and washed up again, they went to eat.
Instead of eating in their own courtyard, they chose to go to the outer courtyard with Lu Zhijin and the others.
When they arrived at the outer courtyard, Lu Zhijin and the others were waiting outside.
When Lu Zhijin saw Xiao Siyue, he smiled and immediately came to greet her.
"Ah Yue, let's go have dinner." Mingming finally managed to find time to go out with Ah Yue, but in the end, they only spent time together on the way.
"Ah Jin."
Dinner was barbecue, and everyone pitched in. Lu Zhijin took great care of Xiao Siyue, personally grilling her favorite dishes.
Lu Zhijin handed a skewer of sizzling grilled meat to Xiao Siyue, saying, "Ayue, have this. It's freshly grilled."
Xiao Siyue accepted the food, saying, "Thank you, Ajin." She was very happy to have someone take care of her while she ate.
Gu Yunze, standing to the side, looked at the dark, charred roasted meat in his hand, then glanced at the meat in Lu Zhijin's hand.
"Zhijin, I want to eat too."
Lu Zhijin didn't even look at it and said, "Bake it yourself."
"Zhijin, just one skewer, I only want one, I don't know how to grill it well." Gu Yunze said, his mouth watering.
"No way." Lu Zhijin showed no mercy, watching Xiao Siyue finish her skewer before giving her another one.
"Zhijin, you value women over friends. You even have Siyue. Have you forgotten our friendship that we share the same pants?"
"Cough cough..." Xiao Siyue was choked and coughed violently.
"Drink some water quickly." Lu Zhijin quickly handed Xiao Siyue a glass of water and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.
Xiao Siyue's eyes welled up with tears from the chili peppers on the grilled skewers. She drank some water and it took her a while to calm down.
After Xiao Siyue recovered, she looked at Lu Zhijin with a complicated expression, and occasionally glanced at Gu Yunze. Was what Gu Yunze said just now true? Were the two of them really in cahoots?
Could it be that what Xinglan said was true? Then who between the two of them...? Xiao Siyue's thoughts gradually went astray.
Lu Zhijin noticed Xiao Siyue's gaze occasionally falling on him and felt something was wrong; well, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Yue'er, what are you looking at?"
"Huh? It's nothing, it's nothing." Xiao Siyue quickly came to her senses and continued eating the barbecue.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Siyue couldn't resist her gossipy nature and tentatively asked, "Ah Jin, are you and Third Brother Gu very close?"
"Hmm, not bad, we grew up together." Lu Zhijin didn't mind and spoke the truth.
"Oh, so they're childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little." Xiao Siyue muttered softly, but Lu Zhijin, with his sharp ears, still heard her and almost dropped the barbecue in his hand.
Is this how "two childhood sweethearts" is used?
Lu Zhijin looked at Xiao Siyue with a dangerous gaze: "A-Yue, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."
Sensing danger approaching, Xiao Siyue immediately backed down: "No, I didn't say anything."
"I heard you. You just said that Gu Yunze and I were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since we were little." Lu Zhijin finally understood what Xiao Siyue meant by the look she had given him earlier.
"Hehe, that was a slip of the tongue, Ah Jin, it was just a slip of the tongue." Xiao Siyue wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to say so much? She could have just thought about it herself, but she had to say it out loud. Looking at Lu Zhijin's dangerous eyes, Xiao Siyue felt like she was doomed.
"Heh, Yue had been secretly watching me and Gu Yunze all this time. I wonder what she was thinking. I bet she was thinking something not so good."
"No, no, Ah Jin, I'm not full yet. Can you grill some more meat for me?" Xiao Siyue quickly changed the subject, acting coquettishly.
Lu Zhijin couldn't stand Xiao Siyue acting cute with him.
"Hmm, what would you like to eat?"
However, he didn't believe Xiao Siyue's words. It was just that there were too many people around, so it wasn't convenient. He would settle the score later.
Xiao Siyue quietly patted her chest, she was so scared, she thought she was going to be in trouble, thankfully, she got through it.
After eating the barbecue, everyone played around for a long time before heading back to their respective homes.
After washing up and dismissing the maid, Xiao Siyue was about to go to sleep when she heard someone at the window. Thinking it was Gu Xinglan and Ye Mufan, she wondered why they were both looking for her so late at night. So she went to open the door.
I never expected to see such an unexpected person when I opened the door.
"Ah Jin, what are you doing here?" Xiao Siyue could hardly believe it, because in her eyes, Lu Zhijin had always been a gentleman who knew proper etiquette and manners. How could such a person come to the women's quarters so late at night?
"Ah Yue, I missed you." When Lu Zhijin saw Xiao Siyue, he immediately hugged her and closed the door behind him.
"Ah Jin, have you been drinking?" Xiao Siyue smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Lu Zhijin.
"Yeah, we had a little." After lunch, they went back and drank some alcohol.
"Sit down quickly, let me pour you some water." Xiao Siyue got out of Lu Zhijin's arms, pulled her to sit at the table, picked up a teacup and poured a glass of water.
"Thank you, Yue." Actually, he hadn't drunk much, but he was particularly pleased with Xiao Siyue's relationship with him.
After finishing his water, Lu Zhijin put down the glass and looked at Xiao Siyue, who was only wearing an inner garment and an outer coat. He then pulled her into his arms.
Xiao Siyue was startled and had already sat on Lu Zhijin's lap.
"Ah Jin."
"Ah Yue, we finally get to see each other, and I haven't even had a chance to say much to you?" Lu Zhijin's tone was very aggrieved. Hearing this, Xiao Siyue's heart softened. She thought to herself, Ah Jin is like this when he's drunk. He's all soft and limp, not at all like his usual refined self. He's just like a big boy.
"Then I'll talk to you for a while, okay?" Xiao Siyue reached out and touched his handsome face, speaking softly.
A glint flashed in Lu Zhijin's eyes, but Xiao Siyue didn't notice it.
"Ah Yue, I really want to marry you as soon as possible. After we get back, I'll come to your door to propose, okay?"
"But aren't you all very busy right now? Why don't we talk about it when you're done?" Because her father and several older brothers were also extremely busy lately.
"Yes, I am indeed very busy, but proposing marriage is more important. I want to see you every day." Lu Zhijin gently stroked Xiao Siyue's cheek, his deep eyes filled with affection.
"Alright, I have no problem with that." The two families had already tacitly agreed on their relationship; all that was missing was a formality.
