Chapter 350: Chapter 264: Gu An: To Me, the Law Enforcement Hall’s Sealing Is Not a Constraint, But Protection

The noodle-sized fish was the size of a palm, but its mouth was stretched open to the size of a chair.

Such an exaggerated act would have caused an ordinary fish to burst and die from the strain.

But even for a noodle-sized fish, it was unbearably painful.

Its mouth was large, capable of swallowing the Swirling Spirit Sword or other large items without a problem.

But...

Prying it open and forcing it to eat was a bit over the top.

"Why don’t you have a pond here?" Chu Meng asked upon seeing Gu An.

Upon hearing this, Gu An politely performed a greeting and said, "Senior, I never had a pond to begin with."

"Then how do you raise your pet?" Chu Meng poured another handful of peanuts down.

"It’s kept at Heavenly Suspension Peak, where there’s a lake," Gu An replied.

The dwelling at Heavenly Suspension Peak was truly nice, the lake was large, and the noodle-sized fish liked it very much.

Initially, there weren’t many fish, shrimp, or crabs in there.

But ever since the noodle-sized fish arrived, there became plenty of them.

They were all its underlings.

"So, doesn’t that mean you hardly ever feed it?" Chu Meng nonchalantly asked.

Gu An thought for a moment and realized that indeed he didn’t feed it much.

"By the way, this is for you." As she spoke, Chu Meng threw a blue object.

Gu An subconsciously caught it, feeling its silky texture accompanied by a delicate scent.

The moment he saw the object, he was startled and felt it burning his hands, shaking it twice and nearly dropping it on the floor.

Then, with a pat, he tossed it back to Chu Meng and calmly asked, "Senior, this object?"

"You don’t like it?" Chu Meng asked with slight curiosity.

Gu An shook his head: "I never touch such things."

"Spouting nonsense, don’t the girls in the building wear them?" Chu Meng caught the item and said, "But theirs definitely aren’t as good as this one.

This material is top-notch.

But this time, its size is almost as big as mine, are you having inappropriate thoughts about me?"

Gu An was full of question marks.

How did you come to that conclusion?

"None," he firmly answered.

"No reason for stealing one almost as big as me?" Chu Meng questioned further.

Gu An remained silent.

Is there a chance that I don’t even know how big you are?

"Actually, you could have, I wouldn’t mind, after all, it’s normal for you to like me, restraining yourself isn’t doing any good.

Of course, you being so old and not seeking self-improvement, you’re definitely not worthy of me.

But thinking about it isn’t a problem," Chu Meng said seriously.

Gu An: "..."

You’re very generous, but I really have no such thoughts.

Gu An felt weak and somewhat old.

Being unliked by others, naturally, he wouldn’t like anyone else.

These people would only interfere with his logging.

Unable to log, he would have trouble becoming stronger.

With too many things to take care of in the backyard, he had no time for logging.

Now that everything was in place and a forest batch was to be approved.

It was a great time for logging, and he couldn’t let any lovey-dovey affairs affect his chance to become stronger.

In the end, Gu An sighed and said:

"I wouldn’t dare."

Saying so, he changed the subject: "Actually, it mostly has to do with the noodle-sized fish itself, though I feel it’s somewhat related to you, Senior."

Upon hearing this, Chu Meng was stunned, spread her hand, pointed at herself and said, "Your pet stealing this has nothing to do with you but with me?"

Gu An nodded: "Yes."

"Come here," Chu Meng said, patting the noodle-sized fish onto the table, then set out some dishes, "Come over, sit down, and we’ll have a good talk about how you twist black and white."

The noodle-sized fish spun its big eyes around after being patted.

But Chu Meng gave it a plate and let it eat peanuts in front of it.

The noodle-sized fish was confused and certainly didn’t like to eat.

However, with a glance from Chu Meng, it started grabbing peanuts with its fins, obediently eating them.

Gu An felt sorry for the noodle-sized fish.

Why did it have to provoke this master?

If you’re told to eat, then eat well, why be a picky eater?

In the end, it’s you who suffers.

Gu An naturally wouldn’t help.

He was subordinate to the person before him, and it would be troublesome if she decided to make things difficult for him.

Being given a hard time on assignments was a minor issue, but if she delayed in helping when things went awry, then it would be him suffering the consequences.

He could only let the noodle-sized fish suffer a bit more.

Looking at the pastries on the table, Gu An tried a piece and found it to be the original flavor, "Done by the First Maid?"

"Try the others," said Chu Meng.

Gu An tried some more.

There was a strange feeling, but he still ate them: "And the Second Maid’s?"

"Which ones taste better?" Chu Meng suddenly asked.

Gu An pondered and replied: "I don’t know."

"Don’t know?" Chu Meng slightly shook her head: "Then from now on, you’ll have the Second Maid’s."

Gu An: "..."

Your discernment is so keen, picking out the worst one at first glance.

But he remained silent.

After all, if Chu Meng’s maids heard him asking for the First or Third Maid’s dishes,

What would become of the Second Maid?

They all worked under Chu Meng, why make things difficult for each other?

Hoping she would improve her cooking so she wouldn’t always make it tough on him.

"Come on, tell me, why is it my problem if the noodle-sized fish steals such things?" Chu Meng asked while eating peanuts.

And when the noodle-sized fish heard someone calling its name, it instinctively looked up.

But seeing Chu Meng’s gaze, it got scared and looked down again.

Gu An felt that if this scare continued, the noodle-sized fish’s frequency of running away from home would undoubtedly increase.

And so would the instances of theft.

He was in danger.

Gu An took a deep breath and said, "If the noodle-sized fish gets hungry, what would it do?"

"Obviously, look for something to eat," replied Chu Meng casually.

"And if the noodle-sized fish is full, what would it do?" Gu An asked again.

"I don’t know," Chu Meng answered.

Gu An continued while eating pastries on the table:

"Yes, when it’s full, it won’t look for food, and if it’s bored, it will bring something back, even steal things occasionally."
