To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Lin Qingping: ?

What does that mean?

She glanced at Gu Juncheng's face; he didn't seem to be joking...

"Lin Qingping, I'll count to three, don't make me carry you inside!" Gu Juncheng said with a stern face.

Lin Qingping's mind was completely blank...

What's wrong?

Under his intense gaze, she shuffled into the circle, still wondering if he hadn't eaten all day. "You...aren't you eating?"

Seeing that she had gone inside, he didn't say anything more, only saying, "Think carefully about your mistakes! Tell me when you've made up your mind."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen himself.

There was nothing in the kitchen.

It was hot, and in those days, refrigerators weren't common in households. Lin Qingping either ate at Gu Youlian's house or only cooked just enough to finish. Sometimes, she even ate at the restaurant. Right now, there wasn't a single leftover in the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you! There are no leftovers," she said, standing on tiptoe in the circle.

"No need!" He skillfully set up the pot and boiled half a pot of water.

"I'll make it for you!" Lin Qingping's voice was sweet and soft. "You've worked hard today. I... even if I made a mistake, it'll be enough to make up for it."

She had no idea that she had done anything wrong!

Without turning his head, he picked up a tomato and washed it under the water. "Have you figured out what I did wrong?"

God knows what she did wrong!

"No……"

"You don't even know what 'mistake' means, yet you want to make up for your mistakes with good deeds? What are you trying to make up for?" He picked up a knife and chopped the tomato into pieces.

Lin Qingping: ...

Lin Qingping watched his retreating figure and said, "Are you making tomato and gravy noodles? That's not how you make the gravy, I..."

"What do you mean 'you'? Stand properly! Are you standing straight?" He turned around, his gaze piercing. "Attention!"

She stood up straight with a snap...

It's entirely a conditioned reflex...

After I stood still, it dawned on me: Was he training troops here?

"Commander Gu! I'm not your soldier!" Lin Qingping said angrily.

"You're not one of my soldiers! If you were one of my soldiers, you wouldn't just be standing at attention!" He opened the pot, threw the tomato chunks into the boiling water, and then threw in a handful of noodles.

“We don’t even cook our pig feed like this!” Lin Qingping muttered.

Gu Juncheng paused, his gaze returning to Gu Juncheng.

Lin Qing shrank back and shut up...

Gu Juncheng added salt to the pot, stirred it, and when he felt it was about right, he ladled the whole pot of noodles, along with the soup, into a large bowl.

He sat down at the table opposite Lin Qingping, picked at the noodles, which were steaming hot, and looked up at her. "Do you want some?"

Lin Qingping turned her head away, "I won't eat pig swill..."

She wasn't saying it herself, but Gu Juncheng was genuinely hardworking. He could do all the housework and was happy to do anything in the kitchen, it's just that his cooking skills were really...

Well, only he could probably eat that much.

Despite being teased twice, Gu Juncheng remained unfazed. He devoured a bowl of noodles made only with tomatoes and salt in no time, even drinking the soup completely.

After finishing his noodles, he washed the dishes himself. When he came out, he stood in front of her and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Lin Qingping snorted and ignored him.

"Okay, then keep thinking about it. Come find me whenever you've made up your mind." He moved upstairs.

"So what if I haven't decided yet?" Lin Qingping asked defiantly as he walked away.

"Then just stand there!"

Lin Qingping: ...

"What did I do?" Lin Qingping stamped her foot. "Give me a heads-up!"

Gu Juncheng ignored her and went into his room. A little while later, he came out of the room with clothes in his hand and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Upstairs in the bathroom, the sound of running water filled the air. Lin Qingping heard it and felt both resentful and anxious.

Why!

Why should she be in the entertainment industry just because he wants her to?

Does she really think she should reflect on her mistakes?

When did she ever "do" anything?

With a quick glance, she jumped out of the circle and dashed upstairs.

As I passed the upstairs bathroom, the sound of water was still audible.

Lin Qingping slowed her pace, listening to the sounds inside. For some reason, the image of Gu Juncheng's well-proportioned muscles rushing underwater appeared in her mind. Especially when she thought of his pert buttocks, her heart pounded wildly, and she had an urge to pinch them.

Just do it!

Lin Qingping gently pushed open the bathroom door, and the sound of water grew louder. Coupled with her pounding heartbeat, she suddenly felt her ears burning.

Gu Juncheng is such a shrewd person, how could he not know that she was here?

"Who?" A low shout pierced the sound of water.

Lin Qingping felt like a pervert at that moment, opening and closing the door before jumping inside. "Who else could it be but me?"

Gu Juncheng didn't even need to turn around; he already knew it was her, but he still asked in a stern tone, "Have you thought it through?"

No matter how authoritative someone is, can they still maintain their authority in such an environment?

Lin Qingping stared at the pert buttocks she had just imagined, her eyes shining. They looked even better to pinch than she had imagined!

"I...I've thought it through..." She couldn't help but swallow, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed it.

However, she didn't feel the soft, bouncy texture she had imagined; Gu Juncheng grabbed her wrist from behind.

Lin Qingping was displeased, pressing her forehead against his broad back and complaining, "Gu Juncheng! Do you have eyes in the back of your head?"

"If I let you succeed, I don't know how many times I'd die!" Gu Juncheng turned off the water, turned around, and found that her forehead, face, and hair were all wet. His face darkened even more. "Who let you in? Have you thought it through?"

Lin Qingping didn't answer him, she just pursed her lips and made a swift and precise move!

"You caught them this time, didn't you?" Lin Qingping smiled smugly.

Gu Juncheng groaned, looking down at the small, fair hand that was now gripping tightly...

Gu Juncheng laughed in exasperation, "I told you to reflect on your actions, what have you been thinking about all day long?"

“Thinking about this…” Lin Qingping looked up at him, gazing at his deep and cold features, then stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.

"Gu Juncheng..." She leaned against him, her body soft and hot, her voice becoming sweet and sticky, "I don't know what I did wrong, I'll make up for it with good deeds..."

This time, making amends won't involve cooking for him...

Gu Juncheng grasped her restless hand, gritting his teeth, "Lin Qingping, you'll regret this!"

Her cheeks were flushed a rosy pink, her eyes brimming with passion. She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed herself against him. "I don't regret it at all. I've been craving this for so long..."

Gu Juncheng: ...

Gu Juncheng was truly at a loss for words, "Lin Qingping, are you not going to change this habit of not being reserved!"

"Why do we need to change it?" Lin Qingping clung to him. "Don't you like it?"
