Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 237 Family and Country in Dire Straits (7)

Gu Yao walked along the familiar path leading to the Yan family's residence, observing the layout of the Yan family's estate without making a sound.

A standard three-entrance, three-exit house.

I just don't know where Yan Xi's courtyard is.

It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to visit the Yan family again.

Gu Yao withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and began to ponder his next plan.

Right now, we need to deal with our own stupid system first.

I have a headache.

The system didn't help me first; I had to give my stupid system an identity first.

harm.

Relying on organizations is unlikely; the speed of information flow is really slow in this day and age.

By the time confirmed news came back, it was too late.

There's something unreliable about him.

Gu Yao got into the rickshaw and gave a greeting.

Pinghe Hotel.

"Okay."

***

Led to the door of the private room by the waiter, Gu Yao adjusted his expression, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and put on a gentle smile.

Those already waiting in the private room quickly got up when they heard the door open.

His face was also full of smiles.

“A-Yao.”

Seeing the handsome young man in a suit approaching him, Gu Yao's expression softened. "Xu Qing."

Xu Qing took the book box from the young man, placed it on the chair, pulled out the chair for him, and pressed him down into it. He joked, "It's not easy to meet our great talent. Even my old friend had to ask me three or four times to get a meal together."

"It's already a great honor that you came. I even stood up the young master today just to keep our appointment."

Gu Yao rolled her eyes at the person in front of her, her face full of disdain.

Xu Qing was taken aback upon hearing this, and patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, "Yes, yes, our great talent is so busy with his affairs. It is already an honor for me to see him. How could I dare to ask for anything more?"

Xu Qing picked up the menu from the table and handed it to Gu Yao, saying, "Then, we'll leave the decision of what to eat today to our great talent."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "They say guests should follow the host's lead, but it's the other way around here."

Although he said that, Gu Yao's actions showed no restraint whatsoever.

Xu Qing glanced at it, and the smile on her face widened.

Why is Ah Yao still so reserved and secretly passionate?

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I didn't see you holding back either. Look, you ordered all the expensive dishes. Are you trying to eat me out of house and home? My monthly salary is so low. If you don't order carefully, I'll be starving this month."

Gu Yao glanced up at Xu Qing, slammed the menu shut, and curled a mocking smile. "Oh, so our young master Xu is starving? Didn't he claim he could buy the whole school?"

Xu Qing looked away awkwardly. "A Yao, can we not mention this anymore? Everyone has a moment of youthful recklessness."

Gu Yao put down the menu and nodded solemnly, "Yes, the impetuousness of being nineteen years old, let me think, that was only three or four years ago."

“Ah Yao…”

Gu Yao feigned confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xu Qing knew from Gu Yao's smile that the fox was teasing him again, but he couldn't argue with her.

So angry.

Gu Yao didn't say anything more.

If I continue, she'll get angry and embarrassed.

Gu Yao smiled, pressed the order bell, and changed the subject, "I ordered what you like too, so don't say I'm heartless."

Xu Qing turned her head and watched Gu Yao hand the menu to the waiter, then snorted, "At least you have a conscience."

Gu Yao smiled and said nothing more.

Still so stubbornly arrogant.

Just like when I was in school, nothing has changed.

When all the dishes were served, Xu Qing realized that Gu Yao hadn't ordered too many, and many of them were his favorites.

Oh, this is to save him money.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao had already picked up a piece of Pingyao beef with his chopsticks, and when he saw Xu Qing turn around and look at him with some confusion, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

The handsome young man had something in his mouth, making his words somewhat indistinct.

Xu Qing picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the stir-fried pork. "Didn't you say you were going to rip me off? Why did you order this stuff?"

Gu Yao ignored him, picked up the bowl of noodles that had just been served, stirred it with his chopsticks, and gently blew on it to cool it down. "I'm going to teach the young master this afternoon, otherwise I would have definitely taken advantage of you. Besides..."

Gu Yao slurped up a mouthful of noodles, the rich aroma of sesame paste mixed with the fragrance of chili peppers exploding in his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face.

Xu Qing was just about to hear Gu Yao's reasons when he got stuck at the most crucial point.

Seeing the person's calm and composed expression, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Watching Gu Yao's unrestrained noodle-eating antics, I rubbed my temples with a headache.

"Ah Yao, even though we're quite familiar with each other, can you at least maintain a decent image?"

"How come you, with your refined and scholarly demeanor, are eating so...unrestrainedly?"

Xu Qing considered it for a moment and chose the most polite word.

Gu Yao didn't seem to care, picked up another mouthful of noodles, and pretended not to have heard.

If you don't eat this sesame sauce noodles quickly, they'll clump together and won't taste good.

Xu Qing was helpless.

We could only wait for someone to finish that bowl of noodles.

He observed Gu Yao's movements discreetly; although the movements were somewhat exaggerated, they exuded a unique elegance.

Every gesture he makes seems to embody a refined and dignified character.

Not pretentious, not vulgar.

Open and natural.

It's truly a feast for the eyes.

Xu Qing rested her chin on her hand as she looked at people, her gaze undisguised.

After Gu Yao finished a bowl of noodles, his stomach was satisfied, and his patience naturally improved.

He doesn't like the feeling of being hungry.

That would make him feel very insecure.

He wiped his mouth and resumed his gentle and polite demeanor.

Aloof and dignified.

Xu Qing's eyes gleamed with interest. "Has our great talent finished his meal? Then tell me, what made you give up the chance to rip me off?"

Gu Yao sat up straight, turned to look at Xu Qing, and said with a serious expression, "I want you to help me forge an identity for someone."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing also dropped his nonchalant demeanor and looked at Gu Yao seriously, saying, "Given the current situation, the investigations are very strict, and people with unclear identities can easily be arrested. Don't take any risks."

Gu Yao nodded. "I know, but I picked him up, so naturally I have to take responsibility for him."

Xu Qing frowned, wanting to persuade him again, but was stunned by the gentle yet helpless expression on Gu Yao's face.

This was the first time he had ever seen Gu Yao show such a soft and gentle expression for someone.

That person must be very important to him.

Xu Qing had already imagined a grand scene of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

A dignified and gentle gentleman and a down-on-her-luck heiress.

What a moving and tragic love story!

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll take care of it for you."

He would go to great lengths for his friend's love.

It is not impossible.

Gu Yao was surprised that Xu Qing agreed so easily.

Looking at the heroic spirit on Xu Qing's face, Gu Yao felt a pang of sadness.

He kept too many things from Xu Qing.

Gu Yao sighed, stared straight at Xu Qing, and whispered his thanks.

"Thank you."

With strict regulations in place, Xu Qing's agreement to help Xiao Jiu forge an identity naturally carries risks.

If discovered, it could very well implicate Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was taken aback when she heard the thank you, but then smiled and waved her hand, "It's nothing. It's really great that A Yao has found someone she likes."

With your passion for physics and mathematics, I thought you were going to spend your whole life with them.

When can I meet your partner?

Xu Qing tried to lighten the mood by jokingly saying to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao listened to Xu Qing's rapid-fire words and didn't even have time to interrupt him. His expression slowly turned puzzled. "What person do you like?"

Xu Qing picked up a sweet and sour meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, saying somewhat indistinctly, "Didn't you pick up a girl and bring her home?"
