Seeing him like this, Su Mingyu tightened her fists. It took her quite a while to suppress the anger surging inside her. Then she picked up some clothes from the hanger beside and started to put them on Gu Ruobai.
Gu Ruobai was quite obedient. When Su Mingyu was dressing him, he didn't make any other movements but just stood there straight.
The fact that he didn't take the opportunity to tease her made Su Mingyu heave a sigh of relief inwardly.
But perhaps it was because of the great shock just now or something else, when Su Mingyu was dressing Gu Ruobai, she always unconsciously touched the inner garment on his body.
Each touch made Su Mingyu tremble with nervousness. As a result, the more careful she was, the more she would touch.
Finally, when she felt her face was about to explode from blushing, Su Mingyu managed to dress Gu Ruobai.
Looking down at the clothes that were dressed crookedly, Gu Ruobai curved his lips into a smile and said, "It turns out that there are things you can't do. I thought there was nothing in this world that could stump you."
Su Mingyu turned her face to the side and murmured in a low voice, "Who can't dress themselves? I can dress others too, but the problem is dressing you..."
She didn't know if it was because of Gu Ruobai's overwhelming height or his overly charming gaze. Anyway, Su Mingyu felt that she could hardly breathe while standing in this room.
Just as Su Mingyu was about to say that she wanted to go out for some fresh air, the servants brought up the roast duck she had sent before. So Su Mingyu quickly changed the topic and said, "Um... I specially roasted a duck today. I thought I'd bring it here for you to have a taste. Try it."
Saying that, Su Mingyu took the duck from the maid's hand and offered it to Gu Ruobai obsequiously.
Gu Ruobai looked down at her and asked, "You roasted it yourself?"
Su Mingyu nodded, but then shook her head after thinking for a while. "Not entirely. I just provided the method and mixed the seasonings."
"Really?" Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "I only knew that you were good at your handicraft and had a smart mind. I didn't know that you were also so good at cooking."
Saying that, Gu Ruobai sat down and then motioned with his eyes for Su Mingyu to put down the duck. "Pour me some wine."
Su Mingyu nodded. "Okay."
After saying that, she quickly put down the plate in her hand and then sat down to pour two glasses of wine. After handing one glass to Gu Ruobai, Su Mingyu suddenly realized that she had just done something that only a maid would do.
Moreover, she had done it so smoothly. She was simply the most obsequious of all!
While Su Mingyu was feeling annoyed, Gu Ruobai had already taken the wine glass.
However, Gu Ruobai didn't drink the wine immediately after taking it. Instead, he took a bite of the duck first.
After closing his eyes and savoring it carefully, Gu Ruobai looked at Su Mingyu with an appreciative look in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to have such skills. You're really a wonderful woman who can be presentable in the hall and also good at cooking in the kitchen."
Su Mingyu twitched the corner of her mouth. "I just learned it because I used to like eating it."
Seeing that she was not in a very high mood, Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows and smiled. "What's wrong? Miss Su, are you regretting giving me this?"
"Not really." Su Mingyu listlessly drank up the wine in her glass in one gulp.
She was just annoyed at why she always lost control of herself every time she faced Gu Ruobai.
"If you're not angry, then why don't you eat something?" Gu Ruobai had a smile on his lips. He casually picked up a piece of duck and fed it to Su Mingyu's mouth.
Su Mingyu ate the duck casually, but only then did she realize what she had just done.
If it were in the 21st century, it would be nothing to eat something from someone else's chopsticks. But in this era, Su Mingyu was a bit flustered. After all, this action was too intimate and seemed a bit abnormal.
When she turned her head nervously, sure enough, she saw Gu Ruobai smiling.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "You did it on purpose!"
Gu Ruobai stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and then said with a half - smile, "If not, how would you turn your head to look at me?"
Saying that, Gu Ruobai pointed to his empty wine glass. "Good wine and delicious food should be enjoyed with a good companion. What's the point of drinking alone in a bad mood?"
Su Mingyu pouted and poured him a glass of wine. "But why did you take a bath so early today?"
Based on her observation of Gu Ruobai during the time when she lived here before, Gu Ruobai usually washed up at the Xu hour. It was just the You hour today. Why had he already started taking a bath?
When Su Mingyu said this, Gu Ruobai remembered Su Mingyu who had been like a rabbit just now. The expression on his face softened, and a smile appeared on his lips. "I went to the training ground today. I haven't exercised for a long time, and my body has become inflexible."
Su Mingyu remembered the big man she had seen in the training ground before. There was a look of admiration in her eyes. He was really a loyal and good subordinate. "How are they training recently?"
"Do you want to see?" Gu Ruobai looked at her obliquely, his tone full of temptation.
Su Mingyu nodded involuntarily, but then she realized something was wrong. "Forget it. I'm not really that interested."
"If you want to see, just say so. Why do you have to be so indirect?" Looking at her stubborn appearance, Gu Ruobai curved his lips into a smile. "When you've settled the matter of Su Yueyue, I'll take you to have a look."
Speaking of Su Yueyue, Su Mingyu remembered the matter about Xia Mian. "The person I told you about last time who might be able to get close to the King of Yu. I don't think she's suitable, but I still want Mei Qing to take a look at the injury on her face."
Gu Ruobai nodded. "Pick a time and take Mei Qing there to have a look."
"However, I think you may have misjudged Qi Yue." Su Mingyu told Gu Ruobai all the stupid things Qi Yue had done in Si Nan's shop.
Then Su Mingyu slapped the table hard and said in frustration, "I never thought I'd meet such a naive and innocent girl."
"Naive and innocent girl?" Gu Ruobai stared at Su Mingyu intently. "Why do I feel that I sometimes can't understand the words you say?"
Su Mingyu awkwardly touched her nose. "It's normal that you don't understand. I made up this term myself."
"Naive describes a person who is very innocent and inexperienced in the world; innocent means that the person is stupid and blind; and sweet means that the person mistakes stupidity for kindness."
Hearing Su Mingyu's explanation, Gu Ruobai couldn't help frowning. "Why do I feel that it's not a nice term?"
Su Mingyu grinned. "What nice words can come out of my mouth?"
Actually, Su Mingyu was just too lazy to tell Gu Ruobai that the term "naive and innocent girl" was originally a positive term when it first became popular on the Internet. But as there were more and more cheesy and dog - blooded Mary Sue stories, it had become a derogatory term.
