Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 956 - 459: The Sour Stench of Love!

Chapter 956: Chapter 459: The Sour Stench of Love!

The neighborhood has been around for a while, with aging residences and antiquated furniture, but Gu Qingxiang had everything arranged so neatly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

Lin Baici pinched a green vegetable and popped it into his mouth. Before he even started to chew, the explosive scent of stir-fried garlic filled his mouth, whetting his appetite immensely.

"Just the right amount of saltiness, and the vegetable flavor is rich. Your cooking skills are pretty impressive!"

Lin Baici was taken aback; he had eaten Gu Qingxiang’s cooking before, which was merely passable. But now, after more than half a month, not to mention the presentation, the flavor had improved by leaps and bounds.

"You’re just hungry!"

Gu Qingxiang replied modestly, placing a vase with two lilies in it on the dining table.

"Let me try this one!"

Lin Baici cut a large meatball into four parts with his chopsticks in an ’X’ pattern, picked up one quarter, dipped it into some broth, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Qingxiang sat across from Lin Baici, waiting for his judgement. Seeing that he didn’t speak, she became a bit anxious: "Doesn’t it taste good?"

The counselor spoke up, planning to taste a piece as well.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Baici quickly pulled the plate toward himself and even covered it with his arm: "It’s all mine!"

"..."

Gu Qingxiang was dumbfounded, and then, behind her large black-rimmed glasses, her eyes curved into crescent moons as if happiness were about to spill out.

She knew that Lin Baici wasn’t trying to hoard the food for himself, but rather, he was using this manner to compliment her exceptional cooking skills.

"Qingxiang, if you keep this up, how am I going to get used to eating at the cafeteria?"

Lin Baici pushed the plate back and casually grabbed another chopstick-full, shoveling rice into his mouth.

"You’ll have to adapt!"

Gu Qingxiang pushed the plate back to Lin Baici again.

"Can I come over for meals every day?"

Lin Baici suggested, thinking it would be even better if he could live here. He glanced at the guest room.

It was a waste not to use it, given it was a two-bedroom apartment.

"There’s a teacher and a student living here."

Gu Qingxiang shook her head slightly: "We’d be seen!"

"So what if we’re seen? A student freeloading food and drinks shows your kind heart!"

Lin Baici laughed.

"A student?"

Gu Qingxiang muttered to herself as she picked up a piece of hairtail fish fried to a golden crisp in butter.

The smile in her brows faded away.

Lin Baici had sharp ears, he naturally heard her, and seeing the counselor’s expression, he suddenly felt annoyed.

Damn!

His careless mouth had said the wrong thing.

However, for Lin Baici to make amends, he couldn’t think of anything else to say on the spot. After all, he wasn’t a heartbreaker and had very little experience dealing with such situations.

Fortunately, Gu Qingxiang didn’t dwell on it and proceeded to pick out the bones from the fish pieces before offering one to Lin Baici.

"Try it!"

"Don’t bother with me, you eat too. Otherwise, the dishes will go cold!"

Lin Baici was pleasantly surprised; she was the first woman to ever pick out fish bones for him.

Of course, both Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu would have been willing, they just hadn’t had the chance.

"Mhm!"

Gu Qingxiang picked up a small amount of rice and brought it to her mouth.

After Lin Baici finished a bowl, he just put it down when the counselor stood up, clearly intending to serve him more. Lin Baici immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn’t eat more!

Even though the food was excellent!

"I bought you a gift!"

Lin Baici hurried to open his suitcase, took out three bags, and placed them on the counselor’s lap.

Gu Qingxiang looked at the three bags, momentarily stunned.

"Open them up and have a look!"

Lin Baici urged.

"Oh!"

Gu Qingxiang responded,

opening gifts?

What an intriguing experience. Or perhaps, with Lin Baici, Gu Qingxiang had experienced several firsts.

Like the first time being held by a man, the first time cooking for a man, and the first time thinking at night before going to sleep about what that man was doing?

Is he studying or playing with his phone?

A set of cosmetics, two bags of differing styles.

"Thank you, I really like them!"

Gu Qingxiang admired them for a few moments before wrapping them up again.

"Why wrap them? Just use them!"

Gu Qingxiang usually dressed simply. In terms of cosmetics, there was just a facial cleanser and a bottle of shampoo in the bathroom.

Lin Baici, even without knowledge of cosmetics, knew they were on the cheap side, because not only Xu Daguan and Qian Jiahui but even Fang Mingyuan had a four-piece wash set.

"Oh!"

Gu Qingxiang nodded her head.

"You’ve been busy for half the day, you must be tired. Go rest, I’ll do the dishes!"

Lin Baici rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work, but Gu Qingxiang stopped him.

"Go play with your phone!"

Gu Qingxiang absolutely would not allow Lin Baici into the kitchen to do these household chores; she believed they should be women’s work.

"Together?"

Lin Baici suggested.

Gu Qingxiang shook her head, not even letting Lin Baici help carry the dishes to the kitchen.

However, Lin Baici didn’t play with his phone but leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching the counselor bustle about.

That curve of her hips as she bent over to wash dishes was so sexy!

Even the loose cotton dress couldn’t hide it.

[What’s the use of just looking? Eat her!]

[There’s no need for Okamoto since she’s not prone to pregnancy. You can save that money for tomorrow’s breakfast and add an egg!]

"Qingxiang!"

Lin Baici spoke up: "Will you be my girlfriend?"

After asking, Lin Baici regretted it immediately. Wasn’t that too casual?

There was no sense of ceremony at all!

Indeed, Gu Qingxiang, whether out of unwillingness or something else, kept her head down and continued washing the dishes without a response.

Lin Baici’s skin wasn’t thick enough yet. He gave an awkward smile and quickly fled back to the living room.

The counselor’s bedroom door was ajar. Lin Baici wanted to go in and have a look, but ultimately, he didn’t have the nerve.

[After all’s said and done, a true catch among men!]
