At the crossroads, the four men split up at the street corner, ready to be torn apart by four horses.

The three rebellious sons returned to their dormitory, while Gu Chi went back to his love nest.

Tian Ge watched Gu Chi's slightly sorrowful back as Dong Ge cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Hey bro! I'm rooting for you! Keep it up, let's make sure the three of us can hold our big, healthy grandsons soon!"

"Get lost!" Gu Chi didn't even turn his head, waving his hand with his back to them.

A few fallen leaves were swept up by the night wind and swirled past the three of them.

Watching Gu Chi's impotent figure gradually disappear into the distance, Li Ziming sighed softly:

"Sigh, when do you guys think... Chi Zi will finally shed this innocent foolishness and become a real man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuan, who was picking his teeth with a toothpick next to him, rolled his eyes:

"Der! When a man can truly shoulder responsibilities and be accountable to a woman, that's when he's a real man!"

A night breeze swept by.

The dismemberment intersection suddenly fell silent.

Li Ziming and Tian Ge slowly turned their heads and looked Zhang Chuan up and down.

Zhang Chuan felt uneasy under their gazes and paused in his teeth-picking motion: "...? What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me?"

Li Ziming and Tian Ge exchanged a glance and said in unison:

"Who possessed you?"

……

As Gu Chi walked back alone, he kept replaying their words in his mind.

What those three unfilial sons in the dorm said actually makes a lot of sense.

"That's right..."

Gu Chi, with his hands in his pockets, slowly kicked a small pebble away from his feet.

"With Little Fish growing up like that, if we don't make a move now, what if someone else snatches him away one day?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle again.

"It can't be that bad... She's been sharing a bunk bed with me."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chi shook his head.

"No, no, bunk beds aren't protected by law. Things could get complicated if we wait too long; I need to find a way to get a permanent position as soon as possible!"

A gentle evening breeze blew by, and Gu Chi slowed his pace.

He quite liked this feeling—having a good meal and strolling around with someone he liked.

You don't have to think about anything, just walk side by side, and if your arms brush against each other occasionally, you can be happy for half a day.

It's a pity that the person I like isn't by my side right now.

As I was thinking about it, I happened to pass by a Holiland convenience store.

Gu Chi paused in his steps.

Looking through the glass window at the rows of fragrant and soft little cakes displayed in the shop window, he suddenly remembered Xiaoyuer's birthday.

That day, she sat quietly on the sofa, eating cake bite by bite with a small spoon, her eyes crinkling with delight.

She clearly loves sweets, but she still acts as arrogant as ever.

When asked if it tasted good, she insisted on answering with a straight face.

"So-so," "It's alright, I guess."

In the end, she secretly scraped off the last bit of cream from the plate and ate it all.

Thinking of that scene, Gu Chi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Buy her another one to take home. After all, what girl doesn't love desserts?"

With that, Gu Chi went inside.

"Welcome! Handsome, what would you like to order?" The shop assistant greeted him with a sweet smile.

Gu Chi stood in front of the refrigerated display case, looking at the various cakes inside, and immediately fell into a deep, straight-man-like contemplation.

Strawberry.

Chocolate.

Fruity.

Mousse.

Half-cooked cheese.

There was also a bunch of things with little signs stuck on them, whose names he couldn't even pronounce properly.

Gu Chi scratched his head: "Um...which one is the best in your family?"

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Sir, every single one of these is one of our signature dishes. See what flavor your girlfriend likes."

Gu Chi: "..."

Well, asking was pointless.

He then leaned closer to the glass cabinet and stared at it for a long time.

This strawberry one is bright red and quite pretty; that chocolate one looks good too; fruit ones seem healthier and less likely to cause weight gain? But what if Little Fish prefers the pure cream one?

Gu Chi became increasingly conflicted as he looked at the situation, and finally, he steeled himself and unleashed his ultimate move!

Which one is the most expensive?

The shop assistant was visibly taken aback: "Huh?"

Gu Chi nodded: "Let's take the most expensive one! The one with the most luxurious and beautiful packaging! No girl should be able to refuse it, right?"

The shop assistant, barely suppressing a smile, took out the shop's most expensive and exquisitely designed signature fruit cake, remarking as she packed it up:

"Sir, you're so good to your girlfriend! You're so willing to spend money on her; these days, you don't see many boyfriends as devoted as you!"

Gu Chi: "..."

Gu Chi checked his WeChat balance; it was a full thousand yuan.

The shop assistant handed over the beautifully packaged cake box with a smile: "Sir, this one was just made today, guaranteed fresh!"

Gu Chi took the cake, glanced at the price on the barcode scanner, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Wow, that's ruthless.

But the next second, he still scanned the code and paid.

Money spent on a mistress is money that should be spent! I'll give Xiaoyuer a big gift when I get my own salary.

Gu Chi scanned the QR code.

The payment success notification sounded, and the number in my WeChat balance jumped.

...Well, the wool comes from the sheep's back.

The ancients never lied to me.

What's this called?

This is called taking from fish and using it for fish.

Stepping out of the cake shop, a gentle evening breeze blew in his face. Gu Chi looked down at the cake he was carrying.

He started imagining that once he put the cake on the table, Xiaoyuer would definitely roll her eyes and say something in a mock disgust:

"He's wasting money again."

Then, while complaining verbally, he honestly started eating.

Thinking of this, Gu Chi chuckled to himself.

But after taking only a few steps, Gu Chi realized what was happening.

and many more.

Cake... that stuff doesn't fill you up, and you can't eat it as a main meal!

Gu Chi's brows slowly furrowed.

I just had a huge feast at a seafood buffet, and I'm so full I have to lean against the wall to get out.

But what about Xiaoyuer? That girl is usually cold and aloof, but she's actually quite lazy in private.

Since she doesn't cook at home, she most likely just makes do with a quick and easy instant noodle dish.

They might go even further, simply eating two slices of bread and drinking a glass of cold milk to make do!

The more Gu Chi thought about it, the more convinced she was that she was absolutely capable of doing it.

"No. Desserts are desserts, but we still need to eat a proper meal."

Gu Chi looked around and spotted a handmade dumpling shop on the street corner.

He walked over.

"Boss! One order of shrimp and three-delicacy dumplings, please! To go!"

As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and they're fun... um.

Eating something warm late at night is the best thing to do for your stomach.

.........

At this moment, inside the love nest, in the kitchen.

Ji Xianyu was holding her phone, learning to cook step by step by following a video.

She had originally planned to learn a few signature dishes so that he could have a hot meal every day when he came home.

But reality is clearly not that rosy.

The chicken in the pot either sticks to the pot or burns.

In just half an hour, several failed attempts were already lying in the trash can.

Ji Xianyu stared at the dark, unidentified object in the pot, remained silent for a long while, and finally sighed softly.

Ji Xianyu took off her pink apron with some frustration and hung it aside.

She lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen, quietly comforting herself:

"never mind……"

"Consider today a day for dieting."

After saying that, she was about to leave the kitchen when she subconsciously glanced at the time.

It's almost eight o'clock.

Ji Xianyu pursed her lips slightly.

That idiot...

Why aren't they back yet?
