Chapter 275: I’m Willing to Admit Defeat
Translator: Zayn_
Song Qingyou carried the cat into the house and was shocked by the sight of Chen Zixuan.
She stood by the coffee table and bowed solemnly to everyone.
“I’m sorry.”
After the group of people was stunned, Zhao Yingnan took the lead and helped her up.
Chen Zixuan said sincerely, “If 1 hadn’t accidentally knocked off Brother Gu’s hat, there wouldn’t have been such a big mess just now. Moreover, 1 really didn’t expect Brother Gu to be so famous in such a remote place…”
“Anyway, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
Such a sudden apology stunned everyone.
Chen Zixuan, who didn’t get a response, looked up. Her eyes were obviously sparkling.
“If you don’t want to forgive me-”
“If Teacher Gu forgives you, of course we will.”
Song Qingyou interrupted her and looked at the others. “Right?”
“Of course.” Jiang Xuyan immediately reacted.
“I’ll listen to Boss.”
“Me too.”
Song Qingyou was indeed the team’s favorite, and the other six parroted her response.
Everyone’s gaze quickly fell on Gu Xingchen.
“I’ll listen to little Qingyou too,” He said with a smile.
If the fans heard this, they might imagine a lot of things.
Song Qingyou didn’t mind.
“Sister Chen heard it too. We don’t blame you.”
“Thank you.”
Chen Zixuan thanked him seriously. “But is it okay? We clearly just made a bet, but in the end, we’re considered cheating…”
“It’s alright.”
Song Qingyou paused, and when the smug look in Chen Zixuan’s eyes became obvious, she continued, “Because whether Teacher Gu reveals his identity or not doesn’t have much of an impact on the outcome of our bet.”
“You mean…” Chen Zixuan read between the lines.
“We’ve sold out all the vegetables.” Song Qingyou smiled. “Sister Chen’s team, on the other hand, has quite a few left.”
H H
Chen Zixuan thought she could kill two birds with one stone.
Not only would she achieve her goal of creating hype with Gu Xingchen, but she would also be able to suppress Song Qingyou.
But Song Qingyou could still win like this?
She turned her head almost subconsciously and asked Zhao Yingnan for confirmation.
“Sister Qingyou and the others have sold out all their vegetables. It’s all thanks to them for helping Sister Yingnan and me pack up the remaining vegetables,” Tang Zinian understood.
Zhao Yingnan thought that Chen Zixuan found it difficult to accept this result, so she comforted her gently, “It was an accident that Teacher Gu’s identity was exposed. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were surrounded by so many people asking for autographs, we might not have lost.”
Not only did her words fail to comfort Chen Zixuan, but they also hurt her heart.
Because if it wasn’t for Gu Xingchen, she wouldn’t have a chance to win against Song Qingyou.
However, she couldn’t say what was on her mind. She had to thank Zhao Yingnan for her comfort.
“It’s good that you don’t blame me.” Chen Zixuan lowered her head. “But the bet was set by all of us. 1 didn’t expect us to lose just like that. It even caused you and Tang Zinian to…”
Shu Ling looked at Song Qingyou, and after receiving a look from her, she coughed lightly and said, “Why don’t we just forget about the bet?”
“Since Sister Chen feels that this competition is unfair…”
“I didn’t say it was unfair…” Chen Zixuan’s face turned pale.
She just didn’t want to spend money to repair that lousy road!
“Shu Ling is right.” Gu Xingchen smiled. “But 1 don’t think it’s unfair.
Sometimes,’luck’ is also a part of strength!”
“So, I’m here to fund the road repair.”
Tang Zinian and Zhao Yingnan spoke one after another, “I’m willing to accept the loss.”
“I’m fine with it too.”
“Then the three of us-”
Chen Zixuan quickly expressed her stance. “1 set the bet. 1 should be the one paying for the road!”
“Then 1 won’t get involved.” Gu Xingchen instantly changed his mind.
“Eh?” Chen Zixuan did not react.
“I mean, you and little Qingyou set the bet, so you should be responsible for the rewards and punishments, right?”
Gu Xingchen blinked and said with an understanding attitude, “Zhao Yingnan, Zinian, and I won’t get involved.”
With a few words, Zhao Yingnan and Tang Zinian were also removed.
“Since Brother Gu has already said so, of course I’m willing to accept my loss.” Chen Zixuan was forced to nod.
Did that mean that Gu Xingchen wouldn’t admit defeat if she didn’t speak?
Song Qingyou and the others knew this, but they didn’t say anything.
Gu Xingchen obviously didn’t want to continue this topic. He looked at Song Qingyou and said, “Little Qingyou, I’m hungry. What’s for lunch?”
“Why is Teacher Gu asking Sister Qingyou? What if she isn’t the one cooking today?”
Gu Xingchen said righteously, “Among you, Qingyou is the one in charge. Of course I’d ask her!”
Jiang Xuyan rubbed his chin. “That’s right.”
“If everyone agrees with me, then we’ll just have lunch. How about that?” Song Qingyou smiled.
“I’ll go cook then!” Tang Zinian raised his hand.
“No! I’ll do it! It’s my turn today!” It was rare for Zhao Yingnan to be so proactive.
Jiang Xuyan burst out laughing. “Lil Tang, Yingnan is afraid that you’ll blow up the kitchen.”
Tang Zinian took two steps back and pointed at the sign hanging by the kitchen door. He reminded, “Teacher Jiang, we’re about the same.”
Gu Xingchen looked at the words on the sign. ‘”Tang Zinian, Jiang Xuyan and dogs are not allowed to enter’?”
After he finished reading, he looked at Jiang Xuyan with a strange expression.
“Dogs, especially Jiang Haha,” Jiang Xuyan explained.
“Speaking of which, where’s Teacher Gu’s dog?”
“I had to go to the market in the morning, so I locked it in the room.”
“Then you can release him now.”
The group quickly changed the topic.
After a while, Chen Zixuan was excluded from the crowd.
She also seemed to be interested in keeping a low profile. She took the initiative to offer to help Zhao Yingnan and followed Xu Xingzhou into the kitchen.
After that, Jiang Haha and the young pupper met, and the living room became even livelier.
Tang Zinian: “Haha’s surname is Jiang. His full name is Jiang Haha. What about Teacher Gu’s dog?”
“His surname is Gu, and his name is Doggy Gu,” Shu Ling said bluntly.
Gu Xingchen was speechless.
“I keep feeling like the two of you are scolding me, but 1 don’t have any evidence.”
Jiang Xuyan smiled. “Then 1 can only express my regret. Doggy Gu’s dog name, ah, no, it’s the name of Teacher Gu’s dog. You didn’t choose it well.”
“I heard it.” Gu Xingchen raised his eyebrows. “Just now, Teacher Jiang said that my dog name…”
“Ahem.” Jiang Xuyan coughed heavily. “Teacher Gu, please have mercy!”
Gu Xingchen: “You don’t have to keep calling me Teacher Gu. I feel like I’ve aged a few decades after hearing you call me that.”
“According to age, Brother Jiang and Shu Ling are both slightly older than me. Just call me by my name.”
The few of them agreed one after another, but they did not take it to heart.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Song Qingyou, who was apologizing to her cat, turned her head and brought the topic back on track.
“Actually, the name Haha isn’t that good either.”
“Why?” Jiang Xuyan asked.
“If Brother Jiang walks the dog and happens to run into someone else’s funeral, and Brother Jiang shouts ‘Haha, Haha’ at their door…”
“Pfft. Hahaha…”
Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan burst into laughter.
“Ah?” Shu Ling exclaimed. “Could it be that Qingyou has read the Complete Collection of Jokes like Teacher Jiang?”
Another burst of laughter answered her..
