The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1380 - 1380 671 first watch

Chapter 1380: 671 first watch Chapter 1380: 671 first watch What are you two up to? One gives the other vinegar, the other gives chili oil, isn’t exchanging lanterns enough? Now you’re both gifting condiments?

Mu Qingchen always felt this scene was an eyesore, and at the same time, he somehow felt full, even though he hadn’t had dinner.

“He can’t eat spicy.” Mu Qingchen took the chili oil from Gu Jiao’s side.

Xiao Hen squinted at Gu Jiao.

Just as Gu Jiao was about to say something, Mu Qingchen’s gaze swept over, thinking of hemorrhoids again?

Gu Jiao: “…”

So this joke is never going to die, huh?

“Just, one spoonful.” Gu Jiao quickly poured half of it into her bowl before Mu Qingchen could stop her.

The dumplings tasted really good, especially after drizzling them with chili oil; it was simply divine. Gu Jiao ate with great satisfaction.

They both ate, with only Mu Qingchen sitting idle.

Mu Qingchen didn’t want to stare at the two of them, but his gaze unconsciously fell on them.

Gu Jiao ate noisily, cheeks puffed out, strangely cute.

Mu Qingchen frowned.

How could he find a grown man cute?

He must be going crazy!

He glanced again at the uninvited guest, Long Yi, whose manner of eating was not something that could be described as cute—refined and elegant, every movement exuded an air of aristocracy.

If you told Mu Qingchen these manners weren’t cultivated since childhood, he wouldn’t believe it.

But no matter how hard Mu Qingchen racked his brains, he found it difficult to connect the man before him with any of Shengdu’s noble families’ young masters.

Could it be that he’s not from Shengdu?

But that couldn’t be right; his accent was Shengdu’s, and he himself had admitted it.

While Mu Qingchen was puzzled, Mu Chuan and two others came over.

“Fourth brother! Sixth young master!”

At this call of “Sixth young master,” Gu Jiao did not look up, while Xiao Hen glanced at Mu Chuan.

Mu Qingchen frowned, that wasn’t meant for you.

“Sixth young master, why are you ignoring me when I call you?” Mu Chuan arrived at the table and said with a look of reproach.

Gu Jiao slurped a dumpling and said indifferently, “I’m busy.”

Definitely not admitting that he just hadn’t reacted.

“Are you full?” Xiao Hen asked Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao replied, “I can eat a little more.”

Everything is good in Shengdu, except for the portions of the meals, which are always so delicate.

Xiao Hen smiled softly and said, “Leave some room for the deflated ones.”

“Hmm, okay!” Gu Jiao agreed readily.

Mu Qingchen’s frown deepened—it was just that he had known Gu Jiao for so long, but he had never seen Gu Jiao be so agreeable.

Mu Chuan looked at Xiao Hen curiously and asked, “Sixth young master, who is this?”

Gu Jiao introduced, “A friend I just met, Long Yi.”

“So you are called Sixth Young Master.” Xiao Hen addressed the omission of not introducing their identities when they first met.

Gu Jiao said earnestly, “Yeah, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Sixth Young Master. They are my classmates.”

“I’m Mu Chuan.”

“Yuan Xiao.”

“Zhao Wei.”

The three took turns introducing themselves.

Mu Qingchen, from the beginning to the end, showed no intention of getting acquainted with this Long Yi, hence he didn’t introduce himself.

However, just because he didn’t say it didn’t mean Mu Chuan wouldn’t speak.

Mu Chuan said with a smile, “All three of us are Sixth Young Master’s classmates, and my fourth brother is as well; he’s also Sixth Young Master’s roommate!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hen’s expression instantly darkened.

While drinking dumpling soup, Gu Jiao felt an inexplicable chill down her spine.

What’s with this feeling that the backyard is about to catch fire again?

Gu Jiao hastily put down her soup bowl, “I haven’t stayed in the dormitory yet!”

Xiao Hen’s expression softened.

Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao skeptically.

Gu Jiao cleared his throat, stood up, and said, “Alright, I’m full! Shall we go? By the way, where’s Mentor Wu?”

She sure had a skill for changing the subject!

Mu Chuan said, “He went to watch the variety shows; we sneaked away!”

What does hanging out with a mentor at the lantern festival mean? Of course, it means time to make a quick escape.

“There’s a poetry gathering over there; let’s go take a look!” Zhao Wei suggested.

Being students from the Wenju Academy, they were quite interested in poetry gatherings. Gu Jiao, who just wanted to quickly extinguish the fire in the backyard, naturally wouldn’t object.

The group happily set off.

Xiao Hen walked on Gu Jiao’s left, Mu Qingchen on her right.

With her left and right sides occupied, Mu Chuan and the others could only follow behind them.

Zhao Wei suddenly whispered, “Hey, do any of you feel something’s weird with those three?”

“What’s weird about them?” Mu Chuan asked.

“Yeah, what’s weird about them?” Yuan Xiao also asked.

Zhao Wei looked at the three figures ahead, frowning, “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but… just that those three… seem a bit cramped.”
