Crimson remained silent.

Shen Muchan said mockingly, "I can't shut you up. Shout whatever you want, it's none of my business."

In just a few short sentences, Gu Yuqiu ate more than half of the crab roe porridge, squinted her eyes slightly, and put down her spoon with satisfaction.

Shen Muchan looked at her, her disgust no longer concealed.

Gu Yuqiu didn't take it seriously. She raised her index finger again and, facing Shen Hong's incomprehensible gaze, dipped it into the crab roe porridge that was still more than half full.

She wiggled her fingertips, somewhat disliking the sticky feeling, and left when she felt it was about right.

The congee, mixed with crab roe, slid slowly from her fingertips.

Shen Muchan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before she could back away, Gu Yuqiu's index finger landed on her lower lip, pried open her slightly stiff teeth from surprise, and gently rubbed against her tongue.

Gu Yuqiu looked at the dazed Shen Muchan, her eyes full of smiles, and said gently, "Lick it."

If it were Lin Mushi or Su Yan, hearing such words at this moment would surely make them want to bite down hard, even tearing off a piece of her flesh.

Shen Muchan is not.

She felt those strange sensations, her body trembled slightly, she stared hatefully into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, and then carefully and meticulously licked away the porridge from her index finger.

The whole process was very quiet, without any sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuqiu finally got up and left, heading towards the bathroom, leaving behind a sentence with a light laugh.

How does it taste?

Chapter 113: Chapter 111 Hearing Your Voice

Similar questions had actually been asked many times in this household, except that the person asking them was not Gu Yuqiu, but Lin Mushi, who had already left.

During that short period of cohabitation, Lin Mushi enjoyed a life she had never experienced before. She would often watch videos in the kitchen and experiment with making dishes that interested her. After she finally finished making the dish, she would ask Gu Yuqiu to taste it and then ask the same question with shining eyes.

These are all forms of enjoyment, the essence of life.

Now that Gu Yuqiu has suddenly asked this question, the meaning is certainly not pure, but the interest is even stronger.

However, Shen Muchan simply could not accept it.

She felt nauseous and couldn't help but cover her throat, as if she had eaten something unclean, and began to cough dryly while bent over.

No matter how loud the cough, it still can't vomit out the soul.

The more she coughed, the clearer the previous images became. Whether it was the subtle sensation from rubbing with her index finger or the so-called 'taste,' everything felt so real, as if it had been engraved deep in her soul, something she could never forget for the rest of her life.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Muchan slowly slid her hand away from her throat, looking as if she had lost all strength. She leaned back in the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, with fine beads of sweat seeping from her hair.

Then she heard a cat meow.

It carried a sigh.

Shen Muchan's gaze gradually sharpened, no longer so vacant. She looked at the white cat sitting upright at the dining table and said coldly, "Are you here to laugh at me?"

The white cat was speechless and meowed to indicate that it had no such intentions.

Shen Muchan said, "If you weren't holding a grudge, why would you be looking at me?"

The white cat paused slightly, thinking that it seemed so.

Seeing Shen Muchan coughing so badly, it felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but come over.

However, it forgot that Crimson was a strong-willed person who couldn't stand being around people at times like this. She needed to be alone to calm down and couldn't be comforted at all.

Not wanting to be seen as a provocation, it stopped meowing and explaining why it had come, and simply jumped away.

Shen Muchan was quite surprised, but then she vaguely guessed what the white cat was thinking. She lowered her eyelids and fell silent.

Then she heard a faint sound of water.

That was the sound of Gu Yuqiu's body colliding with the water. Because the soundproofing was so good, she couldn't hear it very clearly—unless she completely let go of her senses.

The problem is that this would inevitably alert Gu Yuqiu, and she... is not willing to make any more mistakes and suffer those extremely humiliating punishments for the time being.

She closed her eyes, listening to the faintest sounds, imagining warm water droplets sliding down Gu Yuqiu's body and then shattering into flowers, her heart filled with increasing confusion.

She still couldn't figure out who it was that made Gu Yuqiu get up early and take a shower before leaving the house.

Not long after, the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared.

Gu Yuqiu pushed open the door and went back to her room, but it didn't take long for her to appear in her sight, completely different from the solemnity she had shown before.

She looked at Gu Yuqiu.

Gu Yuqiu was also looking at her.

The two looked at each other silently.

If they are both willing, they can exchange a lot of information in that instant, much faster than speaking, it's just a matter of a thought.

Strangely, this eye contact didn't do that; instead, it was more like a standoff.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly reached out and tucked the girl's slightly disheveled hair behind her ear, smiling as she said, "It seems the taste is quite good, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Shen Muchan remained silent, staring blankly into her eyes.

"That's fine, I'm satisfied with your answer."

Gu Yuqiu's fingertips slid off her cheek, and he turned to walk towards the door, saying, "Remember to keep an eye on the house, don't let me find you wandering around."

……

……

During commuting hours, regardless of how prosperous a city is, there will always be a stretch of road that is so congested that driving becomes a tedious and unpleasant experience.

Gu Yuqiu has never lacked money, but he prefers to be alone and rarely goes out, so he doesn't own a car and therefore doesn't hire a driver.

To be precise, Lin Mushi used to be the driver, but now she has not only resigned, but is also lying in a hospital ward.

Normally, Gu Yuqiu would either take a taxi to the Special Affairs Bureau or take public transportation such as the subway.

In short, she could not use her own supernatural powers.

The reason is very clear: the Special Affairs Bureau has relevant regulations on this matter, and as an advisor to the Special Affairs Bureau, she is committing an even more serious crime by knowingly breaking the law.

Moreover, the Special Affairs Bureau has always maintained an extremely strict attitude towards supernatural powers.

Many countries have even used this as an opportunity to raise ulterior motives, emphasizing that it violates human rights, deprives people of their due freedom, and even spends a lot of money every year to buy off the media and constantly promote this message.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about this.

The reason is simple: there are few people in this world who can threaten her, so why should she care about these things?

Or rather, this rule is inherently a constraint on the powerful.

Therefore, when she thought of this rule, she took out her phone and called Lu Xiu.

The call was very brief; aside from the time Lu Xiu was surprised and silent, it actually took less than ten seconds before the matter was settled.

As a result, Lu Xiu used his power to mobilize a helicopter and send it directly to Gu Yuqiu's location, to the nearest helipad.

……

……

The day after the rain was sunny.

After leaving the helicopter and stepping onto the Special Affairs Bureau's helipad, Gu Yuqiu did not immediately return indoors, but instead walked to the edge, braving the cold wind.

The wind was biting, and when it hit my face, it caused a slight stinging sensation.

She looked into the distance, her gaze slowly moving, and soon found the overpass.

The traces of yesterday's battle are still visible. The bridge, which is usually bustling with traffic, is now completely deserted, with only a few Special Affairs Bureau agents and vehicles present.

The vast majority of people gathered in one place.

—Where the sunlight fell like a spear, there once stood two enormous waterfalls facing each other, that strangely beautiful break in the water.

"If you'd like, I can grant you permission to take a look at the scene."

Lu Xiu's voice came from behind her, sounding very tired, as if he hadn't slept for almost six days and five nights.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Do I look like a diligent person?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and said with emotion, "No matter how lazy an ordinary person is, they will at least try to hide it in front of people they don't know well. How can you be so open about it?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's because I'm more confident."

Lu Xiu walked up to her, stopped, and said, "I think it's more of a narcissism."

Gu Yuqiu said, "If you came here just to tell me this, then I admire you."

Lu Xiu was quite surprised and asked, "What do you admire?"

"The position of Director of the Special Affairs Bureau is such a busy one..."

Gu Yuqiu turned to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with a light laugh, "You still managed to find a moment to steal a moment from your busy schedule to say something like this to me. Your ability to slack off is truly remarkable."

Lu Xiu showed no embarrassment, calmly said thank you, then looked at her hands and asked, "So you're just empty-handed?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Lu Xiu frowned and asked seriously, "When visiting someone, shouldn't we bring gifts, fruit, or flowers as a custom?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Then you can prepare it for me."

Lu Xiu was completely speechless.

He originally thought his skin was thick enough after all the trials and tribulations, but now that he has met Gu Yuqiu, he finally realizes that he is nothing special after all.

Gu Yuqiu then said, "Let those people withdraw. They won't leave any trace. It's a waste of effort at a time like this. It's stupid."

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then hummed in agreement, looking at her profile and asking, "Can you tell me why?"

"Are you an idiot?"

Gu Yuqiu turned and walked towards the door to the rooftop, glancing at him casually, and said, "Does my status seem like I should know about that kind of thing?"

Lu Xiu wasn't angry, because those words had another layer of meaning to him.

—If you weren't in your current identity, you could know yesterday's secrets, and even all the changes that occurred during the battle?
