Song Qingyou carried the cat into the house and was shocked by the sight of Chen Zixuan.
She stood by the coffee table and bowed solemnly to everyone.
âIâm sorry.â
After the group of people was stunned, Zhao Yingnan took the lead and helped her up.
Chen Zixuan said sincerely, âIf 1 hadnât accidentally knocked off Brother Guâs hat, there wouldnât have been such a big mess just now. Moreover, 1 really didnât expect Brother Gu to be so famous in such a remote placeâ¦â
âAnyway, itâs all my fault. Iâm sorry.â
Such a sudden apology stunned everyone.
Chen Zixuan, who didnât get a response, looked up. Her eyes were obviously sparkling.
âIf you donât want to forgive me-â
âIf Teacher Gu forgives you, of course we will.â
Song Qingyou interrupted her and looked at the others. âRight?â
âOf course.â Jiang Xuyan immediately reacted.
âIâll listen to Boss.â
âMe too.â
Song Qingyou was indeed the teamâs favorite, and the other six parroted her response.
Everyoneâs gaze quickly fell on Gu Xingchen.
âIâll listen to little Qingyou too,â He said with a smile.
If the fans heard this, they might imagine a lot of things.
Song Qingyou didnât mind.
âSister Chen heard it too. We donât blame you.â
âThank you.â
Chen Zixuan thanked him seriously. âBut is it okay? We clearly just made a bet, but in the end, weâre considered cheatingâ¦â
âItâs alright.â
Song Qingyou paused, and when the smug look in Chen Zixuanâs eyes became obvious, she continued, âBecause whether Teacher Gu reveals his identity or not doesnât have much of an impact on the outcome of our bet.â
âYou meanâ¦â Chen Zixuan read between the lines.
âWeâve sold out all the vegetables.â Song Qingyou smiled. âSister Chenâs team, on the other hand, has quite a few left.â
H H
Chen Zixuan thought she could kill two birds with one stone.
Not only would she achieve her goal of creating hype with Gu Xingchen, but she would also be able to suppress Song Qingyou.
But Song Qingyou could still win like this?
She turned her head almost subconsciously and asked Zhao Yingnan for confirmation.
âSister Qingyou and the others have sold out all their vegetables. Itâs all thanks to them for helping Sister Yingnan and me pack up the remaining vegetables,â Tang Zinian understood.
Zhao Yingnan thought that Chen Zixuan found it difficult to accept this result, so she comforted her gently, âIt was an accident that Teacher Guâs identity was exposed. If it wasnât for the fact that we were surrounded by so many people asking for autographs, we might not have lost.â
Not only did her words fail to comfort Chen Zixuan, but they also hurt her heart.
Because if it wasnât for Gu Xingchen, she wouldnât have a chance to win against Song Qingyou.
However, she couldnât say what was on her mind. She had to thank Zhao Yingnan for her comfort.
âItâs good that you donât blame me.â Chen Zixuan lowered her head. âBut the bet was set by all of us. 1 didnât expect us to lose just like that. It even caused you and Tang Zinian toâ¦â
Shu Ling looked at Song Qingyou, and after receiving a look from her, she coughed lightly and said, âWhy donât we just forget about the bet?â
âSince Sister Chen feels that this competition is unfairâ¦â
âI didnât say it was unfairâ¦â Chen Zixuanâs face turned pale.
She just didnât want to spend money to repair that lousy road!
âShu Ling is right.â Gu Xingchen smiled. âBut 1 donât think itâs unfair.
Sometimes,âluckâ is also a part of strength!â
âSo, Iâm here to fund the road repair.â
Tang Zinian and Zhao Yingnan spoke one after another, âIâm willing to accept the loss.â
âIâm fine with it too.â
âThen the three of us-â
Chen Zixuan quickly expressed her stance. â1 set the bet. 1 should be the one paying for the road!â
âThen 1 wonât get involved.â Gu Xingchen instantly changed his mind.
âEh?â Chen Zixuan did not react.
âI mean, you and little Qingyou set the bet, so you should be responsible for the rewards and punishments, right?â
Gu Xingchen blinked and said with an understanding attitude, âZhao Yingnan, Zinian, and I wonât get involved.â
With a few words, Zhao Yingnan and Tang Zinian were also removed.
âSince Brother Gu has already said so, of course Iâm willing to accept my loss.â Chen Zixuan was forced to nod.
Did that mean that Gu Xingchen wouldnât admit defeat if she didnât speak?
Song Qingyou and the others knew this, but they didnât say anything.
Gu Xingchen obviously didnât want to continue this topic. He looked at Song Qingyou and said, âLittle Qingyou, Iâm hungry. Whatâs for lunch?â
âWhy is Teacher Gu asking Sister Qingyou? What if she isnât the one cooking today?â
Gu Xingchen said righteously, âAmong you, Qingyou is the one in charge. Of course Iâd ask her!â
Jiang Xuyan rubbed his chin. âThatâs right.â
âIf everyone agrees with me, then weâll just have lunch. How about that?â Song Qingyou smiled.
âIâll go cook then!â Tang Zinian raised his hand.
âNo! Iâll do it! Itâs my turn today!â It was rare for Zhao Yingnan to be so proactive.
Jiang Xuyan burst out laughing. âLil Tang, Yingnan is afraid that youâll blow up the kitchen.â
Tang Zinian took two steps back and pointed at the sign hanging by the kitchen door. He reminded, âTeacher Jiang, weâre about the same.â
Gu Xingchen looked at the words on the sign. ââTang Zinian, Jiang Xuyan and dogs are not allowed to enterâ?â
After he finished reading, he looked at Jiang Xuyan with a strange expression.
âDogs, especially Jiang Haha,â Jiang Xuyan explained.
âSpeaking of which, whereâs Teacher Guâs dog?â
âI had to go to the market in the morning, so I locked it in the room.â
âThen you can release him now.â
The group quickly changed the topic.
After a while, Chen Zixuan was excluded from the crowd.
She also seemed to be interested in keeping a low profile. She took the initiative to offer to help Zhao Yingnan and followed Xu Xingzhou into the kitchen.
After that, Jiang Haha and the young pupper met, and the living room became even livelier.
Tang Zinian: âHahaâs surname is Jiang. His full name is Jiang Haha. What about Teacher Guâs dog?â
âHis surname is Gu, and his name is Doggy Gu,â Shu Ling said bluntly.
Gu Xingchen was speechless.
âI keep feeling like the two of you are scolding me, but 1 donât have any evidence.â
Jiang Xuyan smiled. âThen 1 can only express my regret. Doggy Guâs dog name, ah, no, itâs the name of Teacher Guâs dog. You didnât choose it well.â
âI heard it.â Gu Xingchen raised his eyebrows. âJust now, Teacher Jiang said that my dog nameâ¦â
âAhem.â Jiang Xuyan coughed heavily. âTeacher Gu, please have mercy!â
Gu Xingchen: âYou donât have to keep calling me Teacher Gu. I feel like Iâve aged a few decades after hearing you call me that.â
âAccording to age, Brother Jiang and Shu Ling are both slightly older than me. Just call me by my name.â
The few of them agreed one after another, but they did not take it to heart.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Song Qingyou, who was apologizing to her cat, turned her head and brought the topic back on track.
âActually, the name Haha isnât that good either.â
âWhy?â Jiang Xuyan asked.
âIf Brother Jiang walks the dog and happens to run into someone elseâs funeral, and Brother Jiang shouts âHaha, Hahaâ at their doorâ¦â
âPfft. Hahahaâ¦â
Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan burst into laughter.
âAh?â Shu Ling exclaimed. âCould it be that Qingyou has read the Complete Collection of Jokes like Teacher Jiang?â
Another burst of laughter answered her..
