Gu Chu immediately made an accusation. "Feng Jia, you left me alone at home. Why did you come here to celebrate the first anniversary with them?"
"I can explain this!" Meng Lang was very lively. He immediately raised his hand and said enthusiastically, "Feng Jia was looking for Lu Shen, but Lu Shen was with us and came here, so he followed him here."
So that was it.
Gu Chu sat down at an empty seat by the Mahjong table. She didn't know if it was Lu Shen or Feng Jia's seat, but it didn't matter. She looked at the tiles and played a tile. "How do you plan to celebrate?"
Meng Lang said firmly, "We are planning to celebrate in the mountains. We want to relive our hiking experience from a year ago!"
"Boring." Gu Chu pursed her lips. "Besides, it rained last night, and the mountain road is still slippery now."
"The weather forecast says that it will be sunny today and tomorrow. We'll stay in tonight and hike tomorrow morning. The mountain road will be dry then," Meng Lang said excitedly.
Gu Chu thought about it and agreed. She still didn't know when the fish would take the bait, so she should create more opportunities.
Lu Shen sat at the last seat. It was obvious that Gu Chu's seat was Feng Jia's, and he stood behind her.
When it was Lu Shen's turn, he asked, "Why didn't you ask Lin Yin to come along?"
Gu Chu was about to say something, but Meng Lang beat him to it. "I did. Birdie wants to practice her choreography, so she can't come."
Gu Chu glanced at him. "Why did you say her nickname? Aren't you afraid that she'll beat you up? !"
"Hey, speaking of nicknames, do you guys know Chuchu's nickname?" Lu Shen interrupted.
Everyone looked at him curiously. They had known each other for so many years, but they really didn't know. Even Feng Jia looked over curiously.
At this moment, Gu Chu played a tile and shouted, "I win!"
Then, she spread her hand in front of Lu Shen. "Lu Shen, give me your courtyard!"
Lu Shen could not help but laugh. "You have such a big appetite."
She did not expect her own cousin to betray her and wanted to expose her nickname in public! She sneered. "You can't afford it, right?"
Lu Shen did not continue, "Do you have no place to live? Feng Jia, quickly take her back!"
"Your courtyard is not bad. I like it too," Feng Jia added indifferently.
Lu Shen: "..."
Feng Jia patted Meng Lang on the shoulder, motioning for him to step aside. "Let's play another round. If you lose this round, give up your courtyard."
Lu Shen immediately stood up and waved his hand. "Only a fool would want to play with the couple."
Meng Lang was very happy watching the show. He said, "How stingy. You don't live in your courtyard anyway. What's wrong with giving it to Chuchu?"
Wang Xiao was expressionless. "A bet is a bet."
Gu Chu had a look of disdain. "Can't afford to lose. Don't tell others you're my cousin."
Lu Shen: "..."
How did he suddenly get bullied by the group?
He was annoyed and amused. "I've never seen you care so much about that courtyard. Why are you so persistent today? Do you really have no place to live?"
Meng Lang was also surprised. "Even if your sister is back, you won't be kicked out, right?"
He had opened Pandora's box. Gu Chu looked at him with a fake smile. "You want to lose the suite to me?"
Lu Shen immediately stopped it. "I can't give you that courtyard of mine. I have to keep it for your future cousin-in-law. How about this? I drove that Porsche here today. Don't you like it? I'll give it to you if you win this round."
Gu Chu felt that it was not a loss, so she quickly said, "Then you can't go back on your word."
"I won't go back on my word, but I have one condition." He stood up and gave way. "Feng Jia, sit here and helped me. Chuchu, as long as you win against Feng Jia, I'll give it to you."
"You!" Gu Chu covered her mouth. "You actually want us to kill each other?! You're cruel!"
He quickly shot Feng Jia a look, hinting that he should go easy on her.
"Yes, I am." Lu Shen's attitude was calm. "Feng Jia, I know what you're capable of winning. If you deliberately go easy on her, this round doesn't count!"
Gu Chu: "Tsk!"
Her plan to cheat failed.
Feng Jia said calmly, "Let's shuffle the tiles."
In fact, they were all willing to dote on Gu Chu, so the other two went easy on her.
However, Feng Jia was the only one who refused to relent. He played so seriously and didn't seem like he would lose.
Meng Lang smiled bitterly. "Feng Jia is so smart. I've never won against him."
Gu Chu didn't expect Feng Jia to be so serious. She didn't even stand a chance of winning.
She was really angry!
Since he didn't want to let her win, Gu Chu raised her foot under the table and secretly kicked his calf.
He ignored her, and she became even angrier. She raised her leg a little higher and kicked his knee.
Feng Jia put his hand down subtly and he grabbed her ankle.
He felt the soft skin in his hand and the scene from last night began to flash in his mind. Yesterday, he held her ankle and forced her to look at herself in the mirror.
Seeing that he had fallen into her trap, Gu Chu deliberately moved forward a little and stepped on his chair.
A pair of round almond-shaped eyes looked at him, as if saying, "Will you let me win?"
Feng Jia leaned forward a little and Gu Chu did the same. The sole of her foot touched an indescribable place.
He gave her a warning look, then picked up the glass of water at the side and took a sip.
Seeing that he still did not want to let her win, she was a little annoyed, and she increased the pressure of her foot.
Feng Jia immediately tightened his fingers and fiercely grabbed her ankle. Gu Chu felt a slight pain, and she could not help but take a deep breath. Meng Lang, who was beside her, turned his head and asked curiously, "Chuchu, what's wrong?"
Gu Chu endured it and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. "Feng Jia, please let me win…"
Feng Jia looked at her.
"Ew!" Lu Shen took a deep breath. "I don't want to play anymore. You can have the car."
He felt a little awkward hearing the way his cousin called Feng Jia. Therefore, he decided to lose the money to ease the awkwardness.
Just then, the food delivery man arrived. Meng Lang pushed away the tiles. "We are done. Let's go to the backyard and have a barbecue!"
Wang Xiao stood up as well. Only Gu Chu and Feng Jia were left on the table. Lu Shen took a few steps and looked back. "Why aren't you guys coming?"
Gu Chu immediately withdrew her ankle from Feng Jia's grip. She withdrew it too quickly and the table shook. "Coming."
Feng Jia lowered his head and looked at the bulging area. He slowly finished the water in his cup.
After Gu Chu went out, she quickened her steps. Feng Jia's glance just now seemed a little scary.
Did she flirt too much?
She turned around a corridor and saw Lu Shen.
She opened her mouth to call him, but before she could say it, her waist was grabbed. Someone covered her mouth and dragged her into a room.
Gu Chu suddenly felt the world spinning. Her back was pressed against the door frame as her screams were muffled.
He looked up. It was Feng Jia?
He gave her a rough kiss. Gu Chu subconsciously wanted to push him away. Feng Jia grabbed her hands and held them on the sides.
Gu Chu let out a muffled groan. Feng Jia said in a hoarse voice, "Finish it."
"No!" Gu Chu glared at him. "We are going for the barbecue."
He said, "Use your hands! Hurry up!"
Gu Chu: "..."
Bastard!
After they were done, Feng Jia went to the backyard while Gu Chu went into the bathroom, blushing. She used hand sanitizer and rubbed her hands together several times.
It wasn't that she found it dirty, but the hot touch just now couldn't be washed away no matter how hard she tried.
Gu Chu dawdled for a while before going to the backyard. At this time, they had already roasted a plate of food. Lu Shen called out to her, "Your grilled eel is getting cold. Hurry up and eat it. Feng Jia barbecued it especially for you."
Gu Chu subconsciously glanced at Feng Jia.
This bastar looked neat. It was completely impossible to tell what they had done just now.
He was really shameless.
Gu Chu subconsciously rubbed her fingers, thinking that she was here with a plan, not to please a man.
However, the bastard's barbecuing skills were not bad. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Her appetite had not been very good these past few days. This time, it was to her liking, so she ate a few more pieces.
Meng Lang held a plate of grilled wings and handed it to her. "Chuchu, try this. I barbecued them. It's absolutely delicious."
Gu Chu looked at the charred exterior with some disgust, but under his urging, she still took a bite. The smell of charcoal filled her mouth, and she almost vomited.
Gu Chu looked at him sincerely. "You'd better give it to Wang Xiao. Only he can accept it."
Meng Lang held his injured little heart and carried the plate to Wang Xiao to seek comfort.
Lu Shen asked Feng Jian while he was grilling, "I heard from Chuchu that my uncle's family went to your grandfather's place for dinner last night?"
"Yes."
"I heard that they even mentioned changing the engagement?"
Feng Jia glanced at Gu Chu, who was bickering with Meng Lang, and asked Lu Shen, "Did Chuchu say that too?"
"I am just guessing," Lu Shen replied.
