Chapter 372: Yan Luoxi’s Confession Session

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Yan Luoxi’s Confession Session

A little over ten minutes later.

Gu Yizhou brought several beautiful and aromatic dishes out from the kitchen.

"Alright, go wash your hands. It’s time to eat,"

Gu Yizhou said with a smile to Yan Luoxi, who was standing at the doorway, watching him with eager eyes.

"Okay!"

Yan Luoxi nodded eagerly, like a chick pecking at grain.

A moment later,

the two of them sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the table full of mouthwatering dishes, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but say, "Everything looks so delicious!"

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She turned to Gu Yizhou and said, "Wait here a second."

With that, she got up and hurried toward the door.

"Huh?"

Before Gu Yizhou could even say anything, Yan Luoxi had opened the door and left.

’Wait, what was that all about?’

’Why did she just suddenly run off like that?’

Gu Yizhou stared after her, completely baffled.

He stood up, about to go after her and see what was wrong, when he saw her coming back.

This left Gu Yizhou even more confused.

’What the heck?’

Just then, Gu Yizhou noticed that Yan Luoxi was carrying something.

’A medium-sized oak box?’

While Gu Yizhou was still staring, dumbfounded, Yan Luoxi closed the door and came back inside.

"What’s that?"

Gu Yizhou asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"With a meal this good, how could we not have a little something to drink?"

Yan Luoxi said softly.

"Er..."

Gu Yizhou froze for a second before it dawned on him.

’Oh, it’s wine.’

’But then... another thought struck him. Where did the wine come from?’

Yan Luoxi had been gone for less than two and a half minutes.

’It couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air.’

His brow furrowed again as he was about to ask, but Yan Luoxi spoke first. "Let’s have a little drink."

Cut off, Gu Yizhou swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

He gave Yan Luoxi a long look, then slowly nodded. "Alright."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi beamed.

She sat down at the table and took the red wine, glasses, decanter, and corkscrew out of the wooden box.

’Er...’

’She’s certainly well-equipped.’

Gu Yizhou cast a meaningful glance at Yan Luoxi, who was sitting across from him.

’My girlfriend is definitely hiding something from me!’

Gu Yizhou wasn’t worried, though.

He knew Yan Luoxi would tell him eventually.

Seeing Yan Luoxi start to pour the wine, Gu Yizhou said, "Let’s eat a little first to line our stomachs. We can drink after."

"Mm-hmm."

Yan Luoxi nodded gently.

She had brought the wine over from next door specifically because she planned to come clean to Gu Yizhou soon.

So she wasn’t in any rush, either.

"Here, try my fish with pickled greens."

Gu Yizhou placed a piece of fish in Yan Luoxi’s bowl.

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded and, without waiting, eagerly picked up her chopsticks, placed the piece of fish in her mouth.

Her eyes lit up.

The fish was tender and juicy, its texture perfect. Paired with the tart spiciness of the pickled greens, it was a flavor explosion on her taste buds, leaving a delightful, lingering taste.

"Delicious!"

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but praise.

She knew Gu Yizhou could cook, but she had no idea he was this good.

’Honestly, this man...’

’If he can cook this well, why does he always order takeout?’

Yan Luoxi wondered.

Little did she know, Gu Yizhou’s cooking had only become this delicious starting today!

Previously, Gu Yizhou knew how to cook, but that was the extent of it.

His food was hardly what you’d call delicious.

"Good. If you like it, eat up."

Seeing her reaction, Gu Yizhou smiled. "Here, try the pineapple beef. It’s a good appetizer, too. I think you’ll like it."

As he spoke, he placed a piece of pineapple beef in her bowl.

"Okay, thanks."

Yan Luoxi smiled, then popped the piece of beef into her mouth.

"Mmm-hmm."

"Sweet and sour. I love it."

Yan Luoxi said, pleasantly surprised.

"I’m glad you like it."

Gu Yizhou said with a smile.

Watching Yan Luoxi eat with such gusto filled Gu Yizhou with a sense of accomplishment.

They ate in comfortable silence, the atmosphere wonderfully harmonious.

Once they were nearly finished with their meal, Yan Luoxi put down her chopsticks and began to pour the wine.

She handed one of the glasses to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou smiled and took it without a word.

CLINK.

Their glasses touched.

Then, Yan Luoxi downed the red wine in her glass in one go.

She showed no concern for the wine’s price tag of several hundred thousand a bottle.

Seeing her drink so aggressively, Gu Yizhou said with a helpless sigh, "Slow down. You’ll upset your stomach."

Yan Luoxi didn’t answer. She put her glass down, looked at Gu Yizhou with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and asked, "Aren’t you going to ask me where I got this wine?"

"I do."

Gu Yizhou nodded first, then looked at Yan Luoxi and said, "But I figured you’d tell me on your own."

Luoxi: "..."

She really didn’t know how to respond to that.

’He had her completely wrapped around his finger.’

After a long moment of silence, Yan Luoxi looked up at Gu Yizhou and said, "Guh... Yizhou, there’s something I need to tell you."

’Here it comes!’

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou put down his chopsticks. He looked at Yan Luoxi and smiled faintly. "Okay, I’m listening."

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath and said slowly, "Actually... there’s something I’ve been hiding from you."

"Oh?"

Gu Yizhou paused, looking at Yan Luoxi, not quite understanding.

Seeing his expression, Yan Luoxi continued, "I... well, the apartment next to yours is mine."

She finished by pointing to the wine and glasses on the table. "The wine... I just popped over to get it."

"..."

After hearing what Yan Luoxi said, Gu Yizhou was momentarily stunned.

"Next door... Apartment 306?"

he asked reflexively.

"Mmm."

Yan Luoxi nodded silently.

’Er...’

For a moment, Gu Yizhou didn’t know what to say.

He hadn’t expected this to be her big secret.

’Next door, Apartment 306...’

’No wonder he’d never once seen that neighbor!’

It wasn’t a big deal, but he was definitely surprised.

He thought back carefully. Since he’d met Yan Luoxi, there had certainly been a few things that struck him as odd.

Like why she had suddenly taken an interest in him, why she liked him.

’Now it was all clear. It was all part of her master plan!’

"When did you buy that apartment?"

Gu Yizhou asked.

"Huh?"

Yan Luoxi faltered.

She thought for a moment before saying, "For... for a while now."

"Oh."

Gu Yizhou nodded. Then, looking at Yan Luoxi with a faint smile, he asked, "So, your suddenly getting close to me... that was premeditated?"

"Huh?"

Hearing his words, Yan Luoxi froze.

SWOOSH.

The next second, a deep blush spread across her lovely face...
