The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 149

Jie Chou truly underestimated the perseverance and determination of Gu Beihuai!

The entire afternoon, Gu Beihuai didn't drink a drop of water, and he didn't even change his posture. He stood there for four hours straight, continuously explaining problems to Nan XiangWan.

From the basic formulas to the various solutions for each question, he covered every detail!

Jie Chou fell asleep while listening at the side!

Who knows how much time had passed when Jie Chou woke up feeling the urge to urinate.

But Gu Beihuai kept on lecturing!

Nan XiangWan had a serious expression, absorbing the knowledge earnestly!

Jie Chou: "..."

Can't he just admit defeat?

When the clock struck five, Gu Beihuai finally stopped and looked at his childhood friend.

There was a smirk on his face, a mocking smile.

Challenge him?

Ha!

In reality, Nan XiangWan was also tired, but at least she was done with the lecture!

Finally, she could do something else.

At this point, Jie Chou was already numb, sitting there expressionless.

Gu Beihuai: "Let's cook."

Jie Chou: "???"

Gu Beihuai: "The ingredients are in the fridge. Make twenty dishes."

Jie Chou: "What is this about now?"

Nan XiangWan quickly asked, "Comrade, is he good at cooking?"

Gu Beihuai replied, "To be honest, he's not very good."

Nan XiangWan said, "But I still want to taste your cooking."

After saying that, she even licked her lips!

Comrade's culinary skills were truly impressive!

Jie Chou burst into laughter on the spot and said, "If he can cook, I'll chop off my head and let you use it as a ball!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beihuai stood up and walked out of the study.

He went to the kitchen!

He even grabbed Jie Chou's collar and took him along!

Gu Beihuai: "Help me wash the vegetables."

Jie Chou: "?!?!"

Nan XiangWan's eyes sparkled as she watched the two of them.

Was it what she had hoped for?

Ha ha ha!

She got what she wanted!

In the kitchen, Jie Chou looked at Gu Beihuai in astonishment as he chopped vegetables, lit the stove, and prepared the wok...

His skilled techniques and expertise, how could they belong to someone who couldn't cook?

Could he be a master chef?

...

Nan XiangWan definitely wouldn't be studying anymore. Her brain was exhausted after listening to lectures all afternoon!

She got up and strolled around the study.

The study was well organized, with a glass display case filled with thousands of small toys.

Curiously, Nan XiangWan walked to the center where the largest toy was placed and touched it.

It was so lifelike!

The three earrings even swayed!

The three knives around the waist looked so real, so cool!

Nan XiangWan's eyes gleamed, a little surprised that her comrade liked these toys.

It seemed that her comrade also had a childlike heart!

After who knows how long, Jie Chou, who had finished washing and cutting all the vegetables, came back.

He grumbled and cursed the entire way!

Gu Beihuai can cook! He had been hiding it for so many years, and it was all because of Nan XiangWan's words that he started cooking!

Jie Chou was infuriated!

In the study, Jie Chou walked in, grumbling and complaining. As soon as he entered, he saw Nan XiangWan playing with that Zoro figurine!

She was touching it and making it sway.

Jie Chou: "!!!"

Nan XiangWan glanced at him and smiled, "What's your relationship with Gu Beihuai?"

Jie Chou was taken aback and then replied, "We've known each other since childhood."

Nan XiangWan's smile grew wider. "Oh... childhood friends, huh?"

In other words, childhood sweethearts?

Bingo!

After spending the whole afternoon admiring their idols, Jie Chou was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.

However, he still stepped forward to take a photo together.

Nan XiangWan didn't refuse and they snapped several pictures, "click, click!"

They also chatted for a while.

One was a star chaser, the other was a shipper, and they had a great time talking!

At that moment, Jie Chou suddenly noticed the pair of characters on the wall.

He rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Based on Gu Beihuai's habits, he doesn't like collecting calligraphy and paintings. But this one is framed with a gold border and placed in such an obvious position. It must be valuable! I just can't understand what it says. Could it be some kind of cultivation technique?"

Nan XiangWan tilted her head. "You can't see the four characters written at the beginning? 'Shui Diao Ge Tou'?"

Jie Chou was shocked. "You're saying those scribbles are characters?"

Nan XiangWan pointed at the characters. "It's 'Shui Diao Ge Tou'! 'When Will the Bright Moon Appear? Raise the Wine Cup to the Blue Sky!'"

Jie Chou was stunned. "You can actually decipher these ghostly symbols?"

Nan XiangWan said, "They're not very well-written, it looks like someone scribbled while drunk. But it's obviously 'Shui Diao Ge Tou'!"

Jie Chou remained speechless.

Oh no, could he have some serious illness?

Why couldn't he, as a police officer, recognize a single character?

...

Forty minutes later.

Gu Beihuai pushed open the study room door. He was wearing an apron and holding a spatula.

"Time to eat!"

Without any politeness, he ordered Jie Chou, "Little Chouzi, go serve the food! Hurry up!"

Jie Chou grumbled a few words but still obediently went to the kitchen to help.

Gu Beihuai stared coldly at his childhood friend as he left, then turned his head and changed his expression in a split second.

With a smile, he said to Nan XiangWan, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Nan XiangWan nodded. "Okay."

In the kitchen, Jie Chou took out the bowls and chopsticks from the sterilizer, about to serve the food.

Bang!

Gu Beihuai forcefully closed the kitchen door!

He closed it with great force, making a loud noise.

Jie Chou was startled. "Holy ghost! What are you doing? You scared me!"

Gu Beihuai approached him and asked in a low voice, "You didn't say anything you shouldn't have to Nan XiangWan, did you?"

Jie Chou was puzzled. "What the hell? What did I say?"

Gu Beihuai narrowed his eyes. "Let me warn you, she's only 17 years old. I like her but I don't plan to tell her about it for now."

Jie Chou exclaimed, "???!!!"

Gu Beihuai continued, "Although young love isn't illegal, I still hope she won't be influenced. She's going to take the college entrance exam in just over a month. It's a critical moment. If you mess things up for me, I'll twist your head off!"

Most importantly, Gu Beihuai knew that Nan XiangWan didn't have any thoughts in that regard.

So, even the mighty Gu Beihuai felt a bit anxious!

Jie Chou was the first person to notice his intentions. If he let slip by accident, it would be over!

Gu Beihuai had a comprehensive plan, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Slowly, little by little, infiltrate Nan XiangWan's life.

And finally, make his move!

But definitely not now!

Jie Chou was utterly confused.

What did he say?

He didn't say anything, did he?

Moreover, he is a fan of Nan XiangWan and doesn't want his idol to be in a relationship!

Gu Beihuai, are you out of your mind?

The look of disdain from Jie Chou was so direct that it carried a hint of treating him like a mentally ill person.

Gu Beihuai: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jie Chou: "I disagree! I oppose it! Now, I represent the Brick Army and will keep an eye on you!"

Gu Beihuai: "Huh! The Brick Army?"

Jie Chou: "Yes! Let me tell you, don't think you're so great as a celebrity. Our Brick Army is also numerous, young, and powerful in battle! If you dare to seduce our idol, I'll be the first one to fight you!"

Gu Beihuai looked at him strangely. "Then let me ask you, when Nan XiangWan becomes an adult, as my childhood friend, wouldn't it be right for you to help me pursue the girl I like?"

Jie Chou's mind froze when he was asked that.

Then he thought about it carefully!

Huh?

It seems like it is.

As a childhood friend, seeing Gu Beihuai being single for 25 years and finally liking a girl, he definitely should help him pursue her!

Gu Beihuai continued asking, "Will you still stop me now?"

Jie Chou: "..."

Did he get tricked into this?
