Gu Yuqiu frowned slightly, thinking, "What other answer do you want to be satisfied?"
"Very likely..."
Su Yan said sincerely, "That person only saw his own reflection in you."
Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked, "Why don't you think I am her?"
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.
Su Yan eventually gave her reasons.
"Because after that person died, I and several others verified the result more than a million times in various ways to confirm that it was true."
Gu Yuqiu laughed, quite satisfied with the answer.
……
……
The conversation wasn't long, but Lin Mushi felt as if every second was an eternity.
Seeing that the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, she immediately turned around and ordered two cups of black coffee, speaking with a blank expression.
However, when Gu Yuqiu indicated that the conversation was over, she smiled naturally and sat back down at the round table.
Unlike before, this time she sat next to Gu Yuqiu instead of between the two of them.
Su Yan looked at her and said, "Sorry, there were more things to do than I expected, so we talked for a while."
"fine."
Lin Mushi raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said gently, "It was just playing on my phone for a bit. I didn't feel like I waited for long. Besides, what you were talking about must have been very important."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqiu glanced at her but said nothing.
Su Yan asked, "Why do you say that?"
Lin Mushi blinked, then lowered her voice.
"Because Qiu told me that you work as a natural disaster messenger, so you must be especially busy lately."
Before Su Yan could speak, she continued, "Oh right, I ordered two coffees. You haven't eaten yet, why don't you grab something to eat first?"
Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed. If it were Su Yan on a normal day, she would definitely refuse outright and leave without showing any mercy.
If she weren't that kind of person, she wouldn't have acted that way at the hot pot restaurant.
But Gu Yuqiu was different after all. She thought of the person in her memory, smiled and agreed, and then she saw the cup of black coffee.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, took a small sip, and said, "Thank you, it tastes very good."
Lin Mushi looked at her, as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "I'm sorry about that hotpot meal earlier, how about... I treat you to a meal another day?"
Are you treating yourself?
Su Yan spoke softly, then turned to look at Gu Yuqiu, feigning curiosity as she asked, "And what about her?"
"She's actually quite lazy; she doesn't even go out unless she's working."
Lin Mushi smiled and said, "She usually likes to stay at home. Unless I cook a meal and call her to eat, she just sits there reading or playing mahjong or something."
Su Yan found it amusing and said, "Then your cooking must be really good, otherwise it would be boring, right?"
Lin Mushi's smile widened, and she said modestly, "It's alright."
Su Yan looked into her eyes and said, "Then how about... I find a free day and come over for a meal?"
Lin Mushi paused, her smile suddenly becoming somewhat stiff.
Chapter 24: In a Dream
From any perspective, this is a perfectly normal suggestion, representing a willingness to develop a deeper relationship.
But for some reason, Lin Mushi was very bothered by it.
Just as she was about to blurt out, "Then you have to ask her if she agrees," she suddenly remembered that she was the one who caused this trouble and shouldn't shift the blame to others, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Gu Yuqiu remained silent, but she clearly understood what Lin Mushi was thinking and what she was hoping for at this moment.
"I think it's great."
She looked at Su Yan and suddenly said, "If you're coming over for dinner, remember to let me know in advance."
Lin Mushi was completely taken aback by those words.
In her opinion, Gu Yuqiu would never say something like that... Could it be that the two of them really have some kind of close relationship, like Su Yan's teacher?
As she pondered these things, she became a little tense. She picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then frowned at the bitterness, which looked quite adorable.
Su Yan nodded and said, "Since you all welcome me, then I should indeed come."
Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, seemingly forgetting that the white cat at home might have been scared half to death by Su Yan.
Lin Mushi forced a smile, feeling extremely regretful, and sighed inwardly.
"But it's a pity."
Su Yan looked at the cup of black coffee she had only sipped and said, "I'm officially starting work tomorrow, so I probably won't have time to eat, which is a real shame."
Gu Yuqiu simply hummed in response, as if she had anticipated this statement.
Unlike her, Lin Mushi happily took another sip of black coffee and sighed, "Oh, I see. I'm quite disappointed too. It's a real shame."
Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Why are you deliberately frowning like this? What is it that you regret?"
……
……
Before she could finish her coffee, Su Yan got up and left, leaving the two of them behind.
Lin Mushi watched her retreating figure for a while before turning her gaze away and asking, "Who is her teacher?"
"The Innocent Queen".
Gu Yuqiu spoke casually, picking up a cup of coffee and taking a small sip.
Lin Mushi happened to witness this scene, and her feelings immediately became complicated. She said in a subtle tone, "This cup is mine..."
She didn't realize what the four words she had just heard were until she was halfway through her sentence. Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked up at the window again.
Gu Yuqiu put down her cup and said, "What's so surprising?"
Lin Mushi thought to herself, how could she not be surprised?
Among the seven peak fifth-tier beings in the world today, who are almost like living gods, the reputation of the Queen of Innocence is the most flawless and sublime.
As her student, Su Yan's status was naturally extraordinary, enough to warrant serious attention.
"and many more……"
Lin Mushi suddenly remembered something and said, "You really know Su Yan's teacher?"
Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "It's more than just knowing each other."
She didn't want to answer the question, and stood up, saying, "I'm leaving."
Lin Mushi was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed and walked to her side.
"Speaking of which, I think you and Su Yan are somewhat similar, I mean in your speaking habits."
"Actually, there are some differences."
"Is this the first time you've met?"
Why do you ask that?
"I feel... you and her seem to know each other quite well."
Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment, then added, "Well, I did peek at your conversation, but I really didn't hear anything."
Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "This is the first time I've met Su Yan."
Lin Mushi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that she would actually answer. She was inexplicably happy, her eyes full of smiles.
Then, for a long time, neither of them spoke.
It wasn't until they arrived at their front door in the elevator that Lin Mushi finally spoke.
"I wonder how long this calm will last."
"It won't be long."
"Yes, the situation is so bad that even the messenger of natural disasters has come."
Why are you feeling sentimental?
Gu Yuqiu looked at her.
Lin Mushi closed the door, hung up her coat, and said softly, "Because I've discovered that I really like my life now."
Gu Yuqiu said, "Before dinner today, you told me that you had a problem with your current state, that you thought I was keeping you as a mistress, and that you were very disgusted with your current life."
When she said this, her tone was very calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Lin Mushi thought about it carefully, then laughed and looked into her eyes, saying, "I didn't say that part."
Gu Yuqiu thought that's exactly what you meant.
"and……"
Lin Mushi said earnestly, "Although you are very lazy and unwilling to do any housework, and you like to make others do chores all day long, I still think that living with you is really interesting."
Gu Yuqiu couldn't understand this sentence and asked, "What's so interesting about it?"
She was already sitting on the sofa, gently stroking the white cat that had come to her, just like usual.
Lin Mushi walked to the sofa, put her hands behind her back, leaned down slightly, stared into her eyes and said, "Because you are a very interesting person."
Gu Yuqiu looked up and met her gaze, saying, "How could someone like me be uninteresting?"
Lin Mushi smiled slightly and said frankly, "So, although you're ridiculously narcissistic, I've found that I really do like you a little."
As soon as she finished speaking, the white cat raised its head and looked at her, its azure eyes filled with terror, thinking, "What are you talking about?"
This was the first time anyone had ever said something so nonsensical to Gu Yuqiu!
