My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 277: What the hell is going on here?!
Chapter 277: What the hell is going on here?!
Gu Yingzhou assisted while Lin Tang cooked personally, and soon, the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma.
That smell was very domineering.
Carried by the night breeze, it spread far and wide, making people swallow involuntarily.
Gu Yingzhou truly hadn’t expected the young girl to possess such impressive culinary skills.
He simply thought she was used to doing household chores at her young age.
He carefully memorized each step that Lin Tang took while cooking.
He thought to himself that once they were married, he wouldn’t let the young girl enter the kitchen.
He couldn’t bear to see those tender hands develop calluses.
"You’ve worked hard," Gu Yingzhou’s voice was gentle to the extreme.
That caused Lin Tang to look at him in surprise.
"With your help, it’s not hard."
Having someone help out made things much easier.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Gu Yingzhou didn’t explain further, but just watched Lin Tang with a gentle smile.
This gentle and refined demeanour was completely different from the decisive and distant attitude he had when they first met.
Lin Tang looked up at the man and smiled.
She picked up a small piece of meat and offered it, "Want to try?"
Gu Yingzhou suddenly realized how intimate he and the young girl were, just like a newlywed couple.
The man’s ears heated up abruptly, almost drowning in her clear, water-like eyes.
He hesitated only for a moment, ultimately unable to refuse.
He bent slightly, eating the meat.
He was greeted with a burst of flavor.
As for what it tasted like? He couldn’t tell.
Because... his mind wasn’t on the food.
"Is it good?" Lin Tang looked at Gu Yingzhou and asked.
The man nodded.
His expression didn’t change, but the corners of his eyes and brows revealed a hint of joy.
"...It’s delicious," Gu Yingzhou affirmed generously, "even better than the state-run restaurants."
His countenance was cool, and he carried an aura of integrity, making his words exceptionally convincing.
Lin Tang was very pleased by his praise.
She pinched her fingers and made a slight gesture, unabashedly saying, "Better than the state-run restaurants by a bit, but there’s still room for improvement."
The smile in Gu Yingzhou’s eyes deepened as he followed his heart and stroked Lin Tang’s hair again.
"It’s already great."
Seeing the man’s smiling face, for the first time, Lin Tang felt her face getting warm.
She touched her ear and looked away.
"Why hasn’t Comrade Xing arrived yet?"
Gu Yingzhou, looking at the blush spreading across the young girl’s face, slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
Leaving behind the words, "I’ll go check," he left the kitchen.
Lin Tang glanced at the man’s departing back and carried the dishes to the table.
Just as Gu Yingzhou stepped out of the courtyard, he heard a knock on the door.
"...Here it comes."
The person outside, hearing the male voice from inside, froze like a statue.
A man?
Gu Yingzhou opened the door.
He saw that it wasn’t Xing Zhen standing before him.
But a young man he didn’t recognize.
The young man was carrying a large bag, disheveled, and his face was so greasy it shone.
He looked like he had been on the road for at least half a month.
"Who are you?" Gu Yingzhou frowned.
Lin Qingmu saw a strange man at his sister’s dwelling, and it felt like the earth was shaking, his vision going dark for a moment.
"...Who are you?" he asked, his gaze on Gu Yingzhou very unfriendly, as if he was ready to throw a punch at any moment.
Gu Yingzhou, seeing the man’s aggressive demeanor, frowned and instead of answering, he retorted, "And who are you?"
Shouldn’t he be the one getting angry when a man shows up unannounced at his woman’s door?
At that moment, her impression of Lin Qingmu plummeted.
It was too unreasonable!
Lin Qingmu chuckled out of exasperation.
He put his bag down.
And swung a fist.
It whooshed through the air, aiming straight for Gu Yingzhou’s face.
Fierce like a young wolf pup whose territory had been invaded.
Gu Yingzhou had been thrown into the Army at a young age for lethal training, so both his combat strength and reflexes were exceptional.
He quickly stepped to the side.
Reached out his hand, grabbed Lin Qingmu’s arm, and twisted it backward.
With a ’crack,’ it broke!
Realizing he had hurt someone, Gu Yingzhou froze.
This was the first time since he’d left the service that he had hurt someone as a reflex.
The man pursed his lips, his expression darkening.
Lin Qingmu’s arm throbbed with sharp pain.
Then it hung limply by his side.
Drained of all strength.
He managed to grit his teeth and not make a sound.
Sweat beaded on his forehead from the pain.
Seeing this, Gu Yingzhou stepped forward, wanting to reset his arm.
Lin Qingmu kept retreating, defensive, "...What are you trying to do?"
After glancing at his other arm, Gu Yingzhou became the embodiment of cruelty in his eyes.
Before Gu Yingzhou could respond, Lin Tang, who had just finished setting the table, came out.
Upon seeing Lin Qingmu, Lin Tang’s expression became perplexed.
"... Third Brother, why are you back?"
Wasn’t it that you wouldn’t be back for at least a month? What happened?
When Gu Yingzhou heard Lin Tang call him ’Third Brother,’ his mind went blank for an instant.
As if someone had smashed a fist into his face.
Third Brother?
The man’s pupils shrank violently.
He stepped forward, intending to help Lin Qingmu fix his arm.
However.
It’s easy to invite a deity, but hard to send one away.
Fixing a dislocated arm back into place is far more difficult than dislocating it.
Lin Qingmu pulled Lin Tang’s arm and took several steps back, eyeing Gu Yingzhou as if facing a formidable enemy.
With a look of vigilance, he said, "Tangtang, who is this savage... person?"
He meant to say ’savage man’ but couldn’t bring himself to do so.
The words that came out were ’savage person.’
Lin Tang’s face fell, and pulling on her brother’s arm, she chided, "Third Brother, what are you talking about?"
"This is Comrade Gu Yingzhou; he and another Comrade Xing Zhen did me a big favor. They came today because I wanted to invite them for a meal to say thanks."
What kind of nonsense is ’savage person’?
Lin Qingmu realized that this man was a guest invited by his sister.
Despite thinking this, his wariness didn’t lessen one bit.
He eyed Lin Tang quizzically, "To thank them, wouldn’t it suffice to treat them to a meal at a state-run restaurant? Why invite them home?"
Before she could answer, he continued, "You’re a young girl, stay away from those stinky men outside!"
Any man who wanted to take away his sister was enemy number one in his eyes.
No exceptions.
Not to mention that this savage man had also dislocated his arm.
Lin Qingshan had grown this big and had always been the one doing the beating; he’d never suffered such a loss!
Now labeled a ’stinky man,’ Gu Yingzhou said nothing.
Well, let it be stinky; wasn’t it his own guilty conscience?
Catching a glimpse of Lin Qingmu’s dangling arm, Gu Yingzhou touched his nose tip.
He no longer insisted on stepping forward.
Instead, he looked at Lin Qingmu and said, "...Let me put your arm back in place first."
While saying this, he glanced at Lin Tang, feeling slightly guilty.
He feared his brand-new affection might be kicked to the curb at a word’s notice.
Hmm?
Lin Tang looked at her brother’s arm.
Only then did she notice that his right arm was hanging by his side, apparently dislocated.
"What happened?"
