“Here, scan my code!”
She handed the milk tea and grilled sausage to Gu Yanche to hold, then held out her phone toward the girl.
Fortunately, she hadn’t arrived too late. Gu Yanche hadn’t added the girl on WeChat yet!
System: [I told you not to be so greedy for food…]
Lin Zheng: [Nothing is more important than eating!]
System: […]
Is this really eating? It’s clearly a late-night snack! What a gluttonous host!
001 was practically drooling from its mouth.
Once I get a physical body, I’m going to eat, eat, and eat too!
The girl looked past Lin Zheng at Gu Yanche.
“Stall owner, is this your younger sister?”
Lin Zheng put her hands on her hips.
“Younger sister? Yes! I’m his little lover. I’m his wife!”
“We sleep in the same bed and even share each other’s saliva!”
“Little girl, do you understand now?”
She put on a fierce expression.
But with her round, fleshy face puffed up in anger, she only looked cute and squishy.
Her bun bounced messily with her movements, with two stray hairs sticking straight up from the top of her head, giving her a silly sort of cuteness.
Although she was wearing loose shorts and a T-shirt, her skin was incredibly fair!
Her exposed legs were soft, fair, and straight, almost as if they had been lit up.
The girl and her best friend stared at Lin Zheng’s legs.
Damn, those are some great legs!
The people nearby also turned to look at Lin Zheng, their gazes lingering over her face and exposed legs.
Gu Yanche’s face immediately darkened.
He pulled Lin Zheng behind him.
“We’re not adding each other. You can leave.”
The girl was dragged away by her best friend.
Once Gu Yanche stepped in front of Lin Zheng, the gazes that had been falling on her also withdrew.
With her man standing there, everyone felt embarrassed to keep staring.
Lin Zheng poked Gu Yanche in the back, furious.
“Gu Yanche! Didn’t you say you were coming out here to set up your stall? Why are you attracting all these women?”
“Is this how you set up your stall every night?”
“Do you think it’s fair to me, sitting at home alone?”
Gu Yanche looked at the milk tea and grilled sausage in his hands. Her ridiculous argument made him laugh despite himself.
“Alone?”
“Does an empty house come with milk tea and grilled sausage?”
He glanced at her legs, his eyes darkening slightly.
“Don’t you usually think shorts are too revealing?”
For some reason, he suddenly remembered her trying to seduce him while wearing a padded winter coat and three layers of thick clothing.
What, am I only worthy of seeing you dressed like a walking quilt?
Lin Zheng was even angrier than him.
“You’re out there attracting women, and you still think you’re in the right?”
“Gu Xiaoche, that’s emotional cheating within a marriage! You’re not pure anymore!”
“What’s wrong with me wearing shorts? You’re just unhappy because I’m wearing your shorts, aren’t you?”
“You belong to me, and your things belong to me too. I’ll wear whatever I want!”
Lin Zheng held her head high.
Even when she raised it as high as she could, she still couldn’t reach higher than Gu Yanche. She only came up to his chin.
But she had to put on an intimidating posture!
She had to make it convincing!
She had to make Gu Yanche hate her!
“What? Nothing to say now?”
“Gu Xiaoche, you don’t want to sleep with me because you already have someone else outside, don’t you?”
“You heartless bastard! You’re not following husbandly morals! My life is so miserable! My parents don’t love me, my brothers and sisters exclude and scheme against me, and now even my own man is cheating on me—”
Gu Yanche hurriedly covered her chattering mouth.
“Stop talking!”
Only after she reminded him did he realize that she was wearing his clothes and his shorts!
Even his ears turned red.
This woman!
System: [Host is doing great! With such a strong possessive streak, the male lead will definitely be unable to stand you!]
Lin Zheng was proud.
Of course! Once I make my move, I’ll have Gu Yanche hating me in no time!
Gu Yanche pressed Lin Zheng down onto a little stool, handed her the grilled sausage, and took the milk tea away.
Lin Zheng grabbed the hem of his clothes.
“Gu Yanche, why did you take my milk tea? Give it back!”
“You heartless bastard who doesn’t follow husbandly morals! You’re not even letting me drink milk tea now?”
Gu Yanche remained expressionless.
“Lin Zheng, if you drink iced milk tea and then complain about stomach pain again, don’t expect anyone to take care of you next time!”
Lin Zheng immediately felt guilty.
According to her memories, the original host was always secretly drinking iced milk tea, only to have Gu Yanche catch her and take it away.
She loved drinking it despite having a weak stomach, and every time her period came, she would be in excruciating pain.
Gu Yanche was always the one taking care of her—making brown sugar water, warming her stomach, warming her feet…
Come to think of it, this man wasn’t completely useless!
System: [Host, the male lead has the strongest husbandly virtues among all men!]
Lin Zheng looked at the milk tea again and cautiously suggested,
“Then let me have one last sip before you throw it away? Don’t waste it. Wasting food is shameful. Do you know how many people across the country can’t even afford to eat—”
Gu Yanche finished the remaining milk tea in one gulp.
“Not wasted.”
Lin Zheng: “!!!”
She was furious!
Damn man! Damn man!
Lin Zheng’s cheeks puffed up in anger as she turned away and refused to look at him.
Just wait! Once we get home, I’m making him perform a striptease!
I’ll humiliate him properly!
Make him lick my feet! Make him call me Daddy!
Lin Zheng’s mind went into overdrive as she plotted how to humiliate Gu Yanche thoroughly!
Until a cup of milk tea was suddenly placed in her arms.
It wasn’t cold.
It was room temperature.
Gu Yanche told her, “Don’t turn the air conditioner down too low when you get home.”
Lin Zheng stared at the milk tea in her hands.
It was exactly the same kind as the one from before.
Did he just go buy another one?
Lin Zheng handed it back to him, speaking righteously.
“I’m not taking it! You didn’t even put in a straw. Do you expect me to bite the cup and drink it?”
“Hmph!”
Gu Yanche simply looked down at her.
“Look again.”
Lin Zheng was still overflowing with resentment.
“Look at what? I’m using my eyes to look. My eyes are the measuring stick—”
Wait.
When did the straw get put in?
She had no excuse left to pick a fight!
One-star review!
The system’s childish voice was filled with pride.
System: [Host is amazing! I never would have thought of that excuse!]
Lin Zheng: Of course. That’s just how I roll!
She met Gu Yanche’s calm, dark eyes and continued making trouble blindly.
“Hmph! You emotionally cheated on me. Don’t think you can buy me off with just one cup of milk tea!”
It’s delicious.
So sweet!
And the toppings are exactly the ones she likes!
This bastard must have studied psychology!
Seeing that Lin Zheng had finally quieted down, Gu Yanche continued making scallion-pancake noodles.
The customers who came were all women, and they always arrived in groups.
They secretly looked at Gu Yanche, but unfortunately, he kept wearing his mask, so they couldn’t see his face at all.
“We can come again tomorrow night. I refuse to believe he can go forever without drinking water!”
“Okay, then we’ll come tomorrow night!”
“The class monitor said the scallion-pancake stall owner is a top-tier handsome guy and that he even has a dramatic wife. I’m really curious just how handsome he is.”
“Shh, keep your voice down! Don’t let his wife hear you!”
The girls whispered among themselves.
Their voices were too quiet for Lin Zheng to hear.
But she had a cheat code!
No matter what they said, 001 would tell her.
System: [Host, you’re amazing! They’re all saying you’re such a drama queen!]
Lin Zheng: Small potatoes, small potatoes. I haven’t even reached my full potential yet.
System: [Host is the most outstanding one 001 has ever brought!]
Lin Zheng: Aw, small potatoes, small potatoes!
There were so many female customers coming to buy scallion-pancake noodles that they quickly sold out.
Gu Yanche started up his three-wheeled cart.
Lin Zheng sat beside him, wearing a sour expression.
“So many female college students came just to see you!”
“Gu Xiaoche, are you feeling pretty proud of yourself?”
“You keep saying you’re not attracting women. I think your skin is just itching and needs to be scalded with boiling water to tighten it up!”
“I’m telling you, if I catch you randomly adding women, I’ll castrate you immediately!”
“You won’t be a man anymore!”
“You’ll be a eunuch for the rest of your life!”
“There’s no word for ‘breakup’ in Lin Zheng’s dictionary. There’s only ‘widowhood’!”
“Did you hear me clearly?”
Gu Yanche glanced at her again.
Lin Zheng glared back.
“Didn’t hear me? Do you want me to repeat it?”
“Did you leave your ears at home today? Or did you forget to take your medicine and your brain stopped working?”
Gu Yanche: “…”
Just when Lin Zheng thought he wouldn’t answer, she heard him say:
“Got it.”
Lin Zheng: “?”
What the hell?
Wasn’t he supposed to get angry?
Lin Zheng: System, system! Did I drive Gu Yanche crazy with all my insults?
I’ve been going on at him ever since he packed up his stall. What normal person could put up with this?
System: [Host is doing great! The male lead must be sick of you to death. He’s probably afraid that if he speaks, you’ll start yelling at him again, so he doesn’t dare say anything!]
Lin Zheng: True. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stand my own nagging either!
So noisy! So annoying!
What man could possibly put up with this?
Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle couldn’t!
