Chapter 28 Boiling Fish in Warm Water
"I confess, I turn myself in."
"These are the words I spoke."
"But there's absolutely nothing we can do about it."
"As the world's most handsome man, and one who will remain so for at least 82 years, don't you think it's incredibly shameful to not have a girlfriend?"
"You're not a boy, so you wouldn't understand."
"How can a man who stands tall and upright be looked down upon by elementary school students?"
"As for Aunt Zhou, that was an accident, nothing more."
"Jiang Youyu, we have a completely innocent and honest friendship."
"As a good friend, can't you understand my predicament?"
Gu Zhibei spoke with conviction.
Although the girl seemed very skeptical, she couldn't find any way to refute it.
This suspect is incredibly cunning!
Even the upright and incorruptible interrogator was bribed by him and turned a blind eye to his flawed performance.
How could she, a weak and helpless policewoman, possibly resist him...?
"He's just a kid anyway, I don't care about this kind of thing," Jiang Youyu said.
Gu Zhibei also said, "Yes, yes, it's normal for friends to help each other. There are even fake marriages."
"Hmph, people these days are really shameless," Jiang Youyu said, expressing her disagreement.
Marriage is a very sacred thing, and in her view, only two people who love each other can do such a thing.
She glanced at the boy, then quickly looked away.
I wonder what he's thinking.
Gu Zhibei's thoughts were quite simple.
Doesn't Jiang Youyu like to hide underwater and play hide-and-seek?
So he secretly heated the water.
She was cooked until she became delirious and her belly was exposed.
As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest.
Since she won't listen to reason, let's try something underhanded.
By the time Jiang Youyu got used to her "fake boyfriend" identity, even if she wanted to escape, it would be too late, her body would be limp.
While secretly making his plans, Gu Zhibei pushed the girl's wheelchair out of the bedroom.
Zhou Suisui sat at the table in the living room.
She diligently practiced drawing lines, following the instructions of her teacher, Little Fish.
Upon hearing the noise, she secretly peeked at them, her little mouth tightly shut.
As the discipline monitor of Class 4-3 at Xiaojiang Primary School, Zhou Suisui always sets an example by strictly abiding by classroom discipline and never talks casually during class.
She was a little curious.
What did the older brother and Teacher Xiaoyuer do in the room?
Did you take the "safety measures" that your mother mentioned before leaving?
"Hmm!"
"Focus on your practice." Gu Zhibei flicked her forehead.
Although the little girl was a great contributor in some ways, he always rewarded and punished her fairly.
He pushed Jiang Youyu next to Zhou Suisui.
Both of them were short.
It looks like a small radish with an even smaller radish growing next to it.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and fulfill your duties as a teacher," Gu Zhibei urged.
Jiang Youyu bit her lower lip, her cheeks slightly flushed:
"Then why are you staring at me like that...?"
"Don't you think the storyline of a beautiful female teacher and a male high school student is really exciting?"
"What...what are you saying?!"
Jiang Youyu glared at him, feeling quite embarrassed and annoyed.
If there hadn't been a little child next to her, she definitely would have given him a good scolding.
Who says things like that in front of a child! Even though she wouldn't understand anyway…
Jiang Youyu said angrily, "Go back to your room and don't come out to disturb Sui... Sui Sui's studies."
This person speaks shamelessly and recklessly; she has no intention of corrupting children.
After all, she's a teacher now...
Jiang Youyu glanced at Zhou Suisui.
She is indeed a very cute little girl, and she seems very obedient.
He's so mature for his age.
What pleased her most was that Zhou Suisui was not tall.
There will be no situation where a student is taller than a teacher.
"Hold the pen higher, raise your wrist, keep it suspended in the air, and use your arm to generate power..."
Jiang Youyu has already taken on the role of a teacher.
She planned to teach Zhou Suisui the most basic pen-holding technique first.
The brushstrokes used in painting are different from those used in calligraphy, and this is also a fundamental skill.
Her face suddenly turned cold as she looked at the boy beside her, who was lounging with his legs crossed, looking completely relaxed.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
"I am creating art." Gu Zhibei put down his pen.
Jiang Youyu then noticed that he had picked up a pen at some point and was doodling on the paper.
My curiosity was immediately piqued.
Gu Zhibei can actually draw?
The girl looked at the white paper with curiosity.
A stick figure lay there crookedly.
She paused for two seconds: "Is this a painting?"
"This is you."
Gu Zhibei pointed to the stick figure's long hair.
"This is your hair."
"..."
Jiang Youyu pursed her lips, desperately suppressing the upward curve of her lips.
"Don't cause trouble here," she said with difficulty.
"It's so hard to be a boy."
Gu Zhibei let out a sorrowful sigh.
He stood up, his eyes suddenly turning serious:
"Private Zhou Suisui, step forward!"
"Here!" The little girl immediately raised her head and straightened her chest.
"When I'm not around, make sure to protect Teacher Xiaoyuer well," the boy ordered.
"No one can hurt my brother's girlfriend before I fall!" Zhou Suisui said earnestly.
Gu Zhibei expressed his high praise: "Great! Very energetic!"
As expected of the elementary school student I approve of.
He glanced at Jiang Youyu, who was pretending to be mute and seemingly unwilling to admit it, smiled inwardly, and went into the bedroom.
...
Gu Zhibei took out his phone and clicked on a link.
It was sent by Shen Wenyu; it's information about the pet competition.
Tomorrow is Sunday, which is the day of the competition.
It appears to be the first time the organizers have held such a competition, as there is no related information online.
However, the competition events were listed in the competition information.
They were all very ordinary challenges.
It mostly involves walking on a log bridge, finding snacks, and jumping over obstacles.
Untrained pets have virtually no chance of passing the challenge.
But for Gu Zhibei, it was like participating in a baby race.
Frying fish is indeed a delightful thing.
Pets don't use human money anyway.
Moreover, he used the tabby cat form, which is fair.
As Gu Zhibei scrolled to the end, he suddenly realized that this was actually a cat contest.
The organizers apparently added a last-minute rule that only pet cats are allowed to participate.
It didn't affect him much.
All I have to do now is wait until tomorrow, and then Aunt Zhou will take me to the competition.
Just as Gu Zhibei was about to put down his phone, he suddenly received a message.
Someone sent me a message.
He turned on the screen and took a look.
It was Pei Qingning, a defeated opponent.
After winning the game she proposed, Gu Zhibei had few reservations and accepted her friend request.
...Are you trying to renege on your debt?
Gu Zhibei opened the chat window and saw that the other party had sent a very familiar link.
—Link to the pet contest.
He was stunned.
The other party quickly sent a second message.
This time it's text.
Pei Qingning: Will you come?
