Gu Tong could only keep a serious face for three seconds, her eyes blinking with a bit of expectation.
"???" What on earth...
Gu Tong was almost coughing up blood, can’t the big iceberg say something nice? She just confessed with deep affection...
"Your intention is good! But it’s full of loopholes."
Li Yan lazily leaned on the pillow and said calmly, "First, you’re a special talent. If you want to stay at the Special Student Pavilion Academy, you don’t need to go through special training; you could directly file a talent report, wouldn’t that solve it!"
"Uh..." In theory, that seems right...
"Second, in this special training, you received an A-level score, and thanks to your strategic planning, the team also got high marks, so you are very likely to receive a double A rating."
"..." She had a bad feeling.
"Third, Lan Siming has expressed interest in you several times. He really appreciates you and said you are a promising talent. Based on your various qualifications, you can only become a special trainee, not a Royal Doctor."
"..." Gu Tong just felt like her brain had been kicked by a donkey, was she brain-dead?
She was only thinking about staying at the Special Student Pavilion Academy but forgot about negotiating back at Royal Hospital. She could have filed a special talent report, so she wouldn’t need to spend so much effort and could rightfully stay around with Li Yan.
"And the last point, the most mistaken one! I am your husband. When you have such thoughts, you should discuss with me first, not make decisions on your own; this is not just your business!"
Facing her Earl’s compelling logic, Gu Tong was defeated...
Why did she feel whatever she did was wrong? She almost wanted to cry but had no tears.
"However, the fighting spirit is commendable, so I commend you!"
Isn’t this what’s called a slap on the wrist followed by a sweet treat? Does Li Yan think Gu Tong will buy that?
Gu Tong’s crestfallen face suddenly changed, her lips twisting into a smile almost reaching behind her ears, "Thank you, Earl, for the praise~"
Is this the legendary face-changing trick...
Li Yan lay leisurely on the bed, the smile on his lips not diminishing. He lazily said, "I’m hungry, peel me an apple."
"Okay, my lord~" Gu Tong responded fawningly, trotting off to peel an apple.
However, as she turned around, she suddenly realized something was off, "Isn’t your arm able to move?"
Though Li Yan had a cast, both arms were actually good.
"With the cast on, I’m not convenient to move!" Li Yan openly found an excuse; he just wanted to eat the apple peeled by his lady.
"Uh..." You are the lord, you have a point...
Gu Tong couldn’t be bothered to continue bickering with him and obediently walked to the table. She picked an apple from the fruit bowl, filled with fresh fruits brought by visiting friends.
The fruit knife was neatly placed on the tray. Gu Tong picked it up calmly, her movements delicate and pleasant, yet also particularly heartwarming.
Perhaps this was the most ordinary way for couples to get along, revealing true feelings in the mundane, not simply encompassed by mundane daily necessities.
After a short while, Gu Tong finally finished peeling the apple and carefully cut it into small pieces.
She glanced at Li Yan, not feeling at all that her lord wanted to do it himself. She picked up a piece of apple and brought it to Li Yan’s mouth.
Li Yan opened his mouth, leisurely taking a bite, "Very sweet."
Whether it was the apple or the apple peeled by Gu Tong that was sweet, Earl Li was extremely satisfied, his eyes filled with warm praise.
