Chapter 722: Chapter 719: Where is there someone like her

He sat down on the stone bench, tracing the patterns etched into it. "Tingyun, how about a game of chess with grandpa?"

"I’ll get the pieces."

Gu Tingyun nodded, fetched the chess set from their pet hamster’s room as he usually did, and took the seat across from his grandfather.

The two of them chose their black and white pieces and began the game.

Helian Qiao and Gu Siyu individually watched from both sides, but Little Princess was rarely still.

She extended her soft, chubby finger, marking a place on the board, and said with a crisp voice, "Grandpa Gu, make your move here."

Grandpa Gu placed his white piece where she indicated, which was also where he had planned to move.

Helian Qiao then instructed Gu Tingyun, "Gu Tingyun, make your move here!"

"Alright." Gu Tingyun also placed his black piece where she pointed out.

The grandfather and grandson were both following Little Princess’s orders without feeling interrupted.

The little one was probably just interested for a few minutes. Let her have some fun.

However, Gu Siyu was staring at Helian Qiao with a clear look of displeasure on her face. The saying goes, "A gentleman silently watches a chess game," but she knew no such manner!

She was about to say this, but remembered she had unilaterally decided to stop speaking to Guibao, so she had to hold her words in, trying hard to suppress her dissatisfaction.

Luckily, Helian Qiao really had no patience at all. She left to watch the adults cook in the kitchen, not even three minutes later.

Only then did the grandfather and grandson dedicate their full attention to their serious game.

Helian Qiao approached Aunt Wu excitedly asking, "What are we having for lunch?"

Aunt Wu responded joyfully, "Everything that Guibao likes to eat: braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried lamb, and sweet fermented rice dumplings."

Helian Qiao immediately got excited when she heard this and declared, "Then I will also help!"

Lu Xiaofen took a bag of peanuts and a clean dish from the counter and handed it to her, "You can peel these peanuts in the yard. We’ll fry them later for a snack."

"Okay!"

Helian Qiao walked out of the kitchen with her things. Seeing Gu Siyu sitting alone looking bored, she said, "Gu Siyu, come over and help me peel peanuts."

"Why should I?!" Gu Siyu finally couldn’t help but ask.

I’m not someone who can be bullied!

Helian Qiao replied as if it were obvious, "These peanuts are for us all to snack on later!"

Gu Siyu: ...

She wanted to say she wouldn’t eat any, but thought that even if she didn’t eat them, her parents, grandparents, and brother would.

So, with great reluctance, she went to start peeling peanuts.

Helian Qiao had already peeled a peanut, she tossed it up, opened her mouth and caught the peanut. Her glossy lips moved as she chewed and swallowed. Pair, munch. Repeat.

Seeing her peel and eat at the same time, Gu Siyu straightforwardly confiscated all the peanuts to peel them herself.

Otherwise, the whole dish would be devoured by her.

Helian Qiao didn’t get upset; she patiently waited for Gu Siyu to finish peeling the peanuts. Then, she dashed back into the kitchen, fetched two cloves of garlic, and handed them to Gu Siyu, "Since you like peeling things so much, you can peel these too."

Gu Siyu, flustered, retorted, "Who said I like peeling things?!"

Helian Qiao blinked innocently, "But didn’t you just snatch to peel the peanuts?"

Gu Siyu was lost for words, she huffed, "I was just afraid you’d eat all the peanuts before we had a chance to! Then what would the rest of us eat?!"

"Fine, I’ll take them back."

Without getting upset, Helian Qiao turned to place the garlic back.

She doesn’t like peeling garlic either - it stings her nose too much!

But Gu Siyu stopped her, "Don’t take them away, I’ll do it! But I’ll only peel these two cloves of garlic and no more!"

Since they were handed to her, and she does help with these household chores at home, she decided to peel the garlic.
