75 -75 The Leaf Picked Up by Big Brother
Gu Zhiqi didn’t answer Su Yunling’s knowingly asked question, but stared at the leaf in his hand instead.
Only after two leaves were tucked into his trouser pocket did Gu Zhiqi withdraw his gaze.
Hearing this, Su Yunling turned his eyes toward Yun Sen, “Hand it over.”
While his heart was defiant, his face didn’t dare delay, and he quickly took a few steps to Su Yunling, handing over his treasure to him.
“Here, take a look at whatever you want,” Su Yunling said as he took the Green Crystal Grass and presented it to Gu Zhiqi.
Yun Sen watched eagerly, fingers suspended mid-air, eyes full of longing as they fixated on the Green Crystal Grass.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t reach out to take it, but instead raised her eyes to Su Yunling, “I want to see those two leaves you had just now.”
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to raise her hand and point at Su Yunling’s trouser pocket.
Su Yunling raised his eyebrows, “What’s the matter?
You like the ones your brother has handled more?”
In his deep, mellow voice, a touch of casual teasing tinged the laughter simmering in his peach blossom eyes.
Gu Zhiqi’s ears moved slightly, and she raised her eyebrows; a playful mischief suddenly tinted her gaze as her eyes slightly curved into a smile, suddenly lazy and charming, “Yes.”
Upon seeing this, Su Yunling’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, sensing the child had more to say.
Indeed, Gu Zhiqi continued in a lazy and soft tone, “The leaves that brother has handled have his warmth, and I indeed like them more.”
In her deep, hazy eyes, there was a hint of an effortless, captivating charm, clear yet enticing, irresistibly alluring without being aware.
Su Yunling paused, his eyes darkening a shade.
After a while, he chuckled softly and fished out two withered leaves from his pocket and handed them to Gu Zhiqi.
He felt somewhat helpless.
This child, her desire to win in her words was quite strong.
After receiving the withered leaves, Gu Zhiqi bowed her head slightly, observing them closely.
And the surrounding crowd had already been dumbfounded.
Did Fourth Master just get flirted back at by the young lady?
Even Fu Xiyan, who knew Su Yunling best, couldn’t help but take another look at Gu Zhiqi.
It was his first time seeing a girl who could make Su Yunling call her ‘sister’.
It was also his first time seeing a girl who could joke with Su Yunling and then tease him back.
When Su Yunling said he met this young lady by chance on the roadside, Fu Xiyan couldn’t believe it at all.
People in the crowd had various reactions to the conversation between Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi: shock, curiosity, and as for Xiao Yixue, in addition to shock, there was intense jealousy and resentment.
She had spoken nicely and respectfully to Su Yunling, yet he had not even given her a second glance.
But with just a few words from that young girl, Su Yunling handed over the Green Crystal Grass without any hesitation.
Why should an immature young girl receive such special treatment from him!
After staring at Gu Zhiqi for a few seconds, she took several steps forward, stopped in front of Gu Zhiqi, and then spoke, “Thank you, young lady.
Fourth Master was healed thanks to you.
If anything had happened to Fourth Master, I would have also been to blame.”
Right now, the best way to salvage her damaged image was to candidly acknowledge her mistakes.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t even glance at her, simply tilting her head slightly, she raised her eyebrows toward Su Yunling, “How did you do it?”
Upon hearing her question, Su Yunling slightly lifted his eyebrows, “Want to know?”
“Call me brother, and I’ll tell you,” he said.
Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling both completely ignored Xiao Yixue.
The others also looked at the sky, the ground, and the greenery, feigning ignorance, as Xiao Yixue was thoroughly disregarded.
