Chapter 433: The Abandoned Teacher
Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
As soon as he fetched the apple from the top, He Shigui wanted to leave, but the woman standing beside him, looked at him with her dark eyes with no intention of moving.
With no choice, he cut the apple into pieces.
As soon as he cut one piece, Jiang Qi placed it straight into her mouth and chewed on it slowly with satisfaction, “It’s sweet.”
She looked at the apple in her hand and said, “This is an Aksu Sweetheart Apple, no wonder it’s so sweet.”
He Shigui did not respond. After he cut the apple, he proceeded to cut a dragon fruit. If he didn’t have to speak, he did not want to. He simply remained silent and went about doing his own thing.
With a chuckle, Jiang Qi asked, “I heard from my sister-in-la…I mean, Sister Yu, that you’re really good at cooking. I happen to be interested in cooking, especially desserts, but I’m no good at it. Can you teach me when you have some free time?”
“I just fluke it,” He Shigui replied casually.
“It’s so good even though you fluke it. If you did it seriously, you could be a five-star chef,” Jiang Qi praised.
He Shigui’s voice continued to remain calm, “I simply cook basic dishes. If you want to learn, you should enrol for a cooking class.”
After cutting the fruit, he left behind this sentence and carried the colorful platter out.
Jiang Qi quickly followed.
But, when the two returned to the living room, Yu Gangan and Fang Zhihan were gone.
He Shigui placed the fruit platter on the coffee table and looked at Jiang Qi coldly, but he did not blame her. He simply said calmly, “I’m going back to my room.”
Jiang Qi did not want him to leave. Stretching out her phone, she asked with a smile, “Master Handsome, can you help me take some photos?”
He Shigui had no choice but to take the phone and take a few photos for her. But, his patience was wearing out.
“Master Handsome, I’ll take a few for you too. Let’s add each other on WeChat, I’ll forward them to you.”
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Qi stopped him again. This time, He Shigui’s voice was freezing cold like the winter snow outside, “I am not your teacher so stop calling me Master Handsome.”
“But, I don’t know what to call you.”
“He Shigui.”
“I’m not saying that I don’t know your name. What I’m saying is, I don’t know what to call you. If I use your full name, it sounds too foreign. If I call you Xiao Gui1, it sounds like a name you would call a turtle. Old Gui is even worse, it sounds like I’m calling an old turtle. I think Master Handsome sounds nice, it sounds young, modern and sweet.”
No matter how cold he was, the woman in front of him continued to smile.
He Shigui was a gentle-natured person, so he couldn’t maintain his coldness, “Call me whatever you want.”
Just as he turned to leave, Jiang Qi called out, “QR code, QR code…”
He Shigui had no choice but to pull out his phone and allow Jiang Qi to scan his QR code so they could be friends. He then returned to his room.
After returning to his room, He Shigui wanted to call Yu Gangan’s phone.
But, after he found her number, he hesitated.
She was no longer the clueless girl he once knew. She was grown up now. He couldn’t control her like he used to.
In his WeChat feed, her profile photo showed up, notifying him that she had an update. He Shigui opened it to have a look.
<Yu Gan: Won a huge gift in the ring toss game – a cute little pig.>
The picture attached was a stuffed pig doll.
It was clear, without a doubt, who had won it for her.
He Shigui broke into laughter as his face filled with sadness and bitterness.
