Chapter 157: 157: Don’t blame anyone for tomorrow’s headache.

Recalling Gu Tong’s mysterious skills in Artifact Technique and her peculiar talents, they’re not something an ordinary young lady could master.

Gu Tong’s finger trembled slightly, yet she could keenly perceive Li Yan’s thoughts. She pretended to be calm, forked a piece of beef, and said with a smile, "Eating is just alright; I prefer cooking."

"Back in college, I always liked to look at random things. Our Academy’s library had all sorts of books, including many recipes for both Chinese and Western cuisine. I was interested in Western cuisine, so I learned a few dishes. I almost blew up the Academy’s kitchen back then."

Gu Tong recounted amusing stories from the past with a casual tone, but in reality, she was providing an explanation.

She didn’t want Li Yan to have any doubts, nor did she wish to cause any trouble. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their relationship.

In truth, she had been trying very hard to conceal her abilities, but ultimately couldn’t control the situation entirely. Moreover, Li Yan was too perceptive, able to detect the slightest clues, which was only normal.

"Then I’ll be in for a treat in the future."

Li Yan sliced the beef in an orderly manner, deliberately imitating Gu Tong’s actions.

"As long as you want to eat it, I’ll cook it for you every day..."

Feeling a bit guilty, Gu Tong laughed dryly a few times, unsure if Li Yan believed her words.

However, based on what she knew about Li Yan, she could already be certain that Li Yan didn’t entirely believe her. Perhaps it’s his innate talent—an extraordinary ability to capture the truth.

The meal was eaten in stifled silence, both of them lost in thought and falling into silence.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the phone in the room rang.

Gu Tong hurried over to answer the phone, and the polite voice of the hotel service staff gently entered her ears, "Hello, at six o’clock there will be a fireworks display on the beach. The hotel provides free drinks and snacks. If guests are interested, they can participate with their room card."

"Thank you." Gu Tong replied politely, her smile growing even brighter. Hanging up the phone, she joyfully jumped to Li Yan’s side and said, "Honey, there’s a fireworks display, shall we go watch it?"

When they initially checked into the hotel, they had many choices, but this particular one offered free fireworks tickets, which became a signature attraction, so they were drawn to stay at this hotel.

"Let’s go."

Earlier at the beach, Gu Tong hadn’t fully enjoyed herself, and Li Yan didn’t want to ruin her rare enthusiasm, so he agreed with delight.

Gu Tong’s joy was evident on her face, she looked like a child who had successfully gotten candy, her entire face brimming with happiness.

"But you’d better think about where to go tomorrow, for we’ll be returning to the Pavilion Academy the day after tomorrow."

Li Yan’s calm words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water over Gu Tong, extinguishing all her eagerness instantly.

Gu Tong pouted at this unromantic guy with displeasure and said, "Carpe diem! If you have a headache tomorrow, don’t blame anyone!" Her twisted reasoning made perfect sense to her.

Li Yan was speechless, but he didn’t continue to dampen her spirits. Their wedding holiday wasn’t long, so if Gu Tong wanted to make the most of it, she should go ahead. Moreover, these were exceptionally precious times they both cherished.

Thinking of this, he playfully tapped Gu Tong’s nose and said in a gentle voice, "If you do get a headache, you should blame me for not keeping an eye on you and letting you drink so much."

"Uh..." It actually made sense, and Gu Tong found herself unable to argue.
