Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class Chapter 481 - I Won't Start A Harem

Chapter 481: I Won’t Start A Harem

Dao Technique Chamber, fifth floor.

Qin Chuan had been here for a few days.

Reading books all day was a little boring, but at least time pa.s.sed quickly. It was better than sleeping without anything to do.

That night, as usual, Qin Chuan was memorizing the book in his hand.

At this moment, a delicate fragrance entered his nose, disrupting his rhythm.

“This fragrance…” Qin Chuan looked towards the door, and a beautiful figure slowly walked over from between the bookshelves.

The beautiful figure arrived at the bookshelf where Qin Chuan was. It was Gu Mengyao.

“Senior Sister Gu!” Qin Chuan had long realized that this fragrance came from Gu Mengyao.

Gu Mengyao walked over quickly.

Qin Chuan put down the book in his hand and stood up. He was a little curious about Gu Mengyao’s arrival.

/

Gu Mengyao stopped in his tracks. There was only half a step between them.

“Senior Sister Gu, what brings you here so late at night?”

Qin Chuan bowed and asked.

Gu Mengyao took out a few bowls of steaming and fragrant plates from her storage ring.

“Senior Sister, this…” Staring at the delicacies on the plate, Qin Chuan was a little puzzled.

Gu Mengyao said, “Junior Brother, I made these myself. Have a taste.”

Looking at these delicacies, Qin Chuan was a little confused. Is she just delivering food?

Qin Chuan glanced at Gu Mengyao and saw antic.i.p.ation in her eyes.

Moreover, she seemed to be dressed differently from usual today. She seemed to have dressed up meticulously.

Does she want something…?

But I’m a married man.

Qin Chuan adhered to the principle of monogamy and would not start a harem.

If Gu Mengyao really had other feelings for him, he would decisively refuse.

He thought that he should not eat these dishes.

Since he would not open a harem, he didn’t want to give others any hope.

But won’t it be too hurtful if I don’t eat it?

After all, she had made it herself.

What if she doesn’t have those kinds of feelings for me. What if this is just purely a senior sister’s care and concern for a junior brother?!

After some hesitation, Qin Chuan decided to eat them!

He still had to respect the fruits of others’ labor.

Qin Chuan didn’t eat much. He only tried a few mouthfuls of each plate.

Although Gu Mengyao’s culinary skills were much better than his own, she was still far from being a master. The taste was not bad, and the appearance was pa.s.sable too.

Out of 10 points, Qin Chuan felt that this was worth 7.5 points.

When she saw Qin Chuan stop eating after a few mouthfuls, Gu Mengyao began to let her imagination run wild.

She began to look for the reason.

Is my cooking not good? Do the dishes not suit Junior Brother Zhu’s taste.

If I ask Junior Brother like this, will he answer?

But if I don’t ask, he might continue to be unsatisfied with my cooking.

Both options are no-go!

Gu Mengyao didn’t know what to do.

“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?” asked Qin Chuan, seeing Gu Mengyao’s strange expression.

Gu Mengyao snapped back to her senses and met Qin Chuan’s gaze.

Her delicate face soon flushed red like a steamed crab.

Gu Mengyao immediately looked away. Her heart was racing, and she had nowhere to put her hands. Her left hand and right hand instinctively pinched each other.

Qin Chuan paid close attention to such abnormal behavior.

Even though he had only had one relations.h.i.+p, he could tell that Gu Mengyao had other feelings for him.

In the past, she was fine while speaking to him. Clearly, there was something wrong.

To be honest, Gu Mengyao was indeed quite pretty. She was pure and s.e.xy, but there was really no need for him to start a harem.

More importantly, Qin Chuan didn’t have any feelings for her.

“Senior Sister, your food is very delicious, but my taste is a little special, so… hehe!” Qin Chuan felt that he had put it very tactfully.

Gu Mengyao’s little head was like a chick pecking at grains—taking every word seriously.

As expected, my dishes don’t suit Junior Brother’s taste.

Should I ask Junior Brother what he likes?

No! That’s too proactive.

Junior Brother is so smart. He’ll definitely be able to tell what my intentions are.

Then I’ll try various methods. There will always be one that suits him.

No… I don’t have any other thoughts about Junior Brother. We just have an ordinary senior and junior relations.h.i.+p.

Why should I care what taste Junior Brother likes?

Gu Mengyao, what are you thinking?

Gu Mengyao tried her best to calm herself down.

After cleaning up the dishes, Gu Mengyao was about to leave.

She felt that she had made a fool of herself tonight and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Just as she turned around, she suddenly recalled her purpose for coming here today.

That’s right! I still have to ask Junior Brother if he’s free to attend the fireworks festival.

But, if I were to ask under such circ.u.mstances, he might think I have other intentions?

D*mn Lu Yiping. If I had known, I wouldn’t have been stubborn.

That’s right!

Since this matter was brought up by Yiping, I might as well say that it’s her invitation. This way, Junior Brother wouldn’t misunderstand.

Haha! I’m so smart.

Seeing that Gu Mengyao was in a daze, Qin Chuan asked,

“Senior Sister, do you have something else?”

Gu Mengyao turned around and smiled.

“Yiping told me during the day that our Changping realm’s once-in-a-decade fireworks festival will be held in two months. It will be very lively then.

“She suggested that we go there to have some fun.”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he couldn’t help but frown, puzzled.

I’ve only shared a few words with Senior Sister Lu, and we aren’t close, so why would she suddenly invite me?

This is very suspicious.

Qin Chuan guessed that it was probably because Senior Sister Gu was too embarra.s.sed to ask and used her as a s.h.i.+eld.

Such tricks were common in television dramas.

Looking at Gu Mengyao’s pure and expectant gaze, Qin Chuan was certain that everything was as he had guessed.

But he didn’t point it out.

“Senior Sister, what’s this fireworks festival like?”

Qin Chuan did not reject immediately. Otherwise, it would hurt her feelings.

Gu Mengyao had only been to a few fireworks festivals herself, so her introduction wasn’t particularly attractive.

If Gu Mengyao were to become a promoter, she would probably starve.

Qin Chuan nodded his head symbolically. He didn’t listen carefully.

“It sounds pretty good, but I don’t think I’ll have a chance to go.” Qin Chuan pretended to be disappointed.

Gu Mengyao’s heart sank, and she suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

“Junior Brother, you don’t have any time?” Gu Mengyao blurted out.

Qin Chuan nodded. “I’ve been cultivating an ancient divine art and recently gained some insight.

“So, I don’t think I can go.

“Senior Sister, tell Senior Sister Lu that when I’m done cultivating the divine art, I will definitely come to apologize.”

“Oh! Alright then! I’ll let Yiping know.”

Gu Mengyao lowered her eyes, looking unhappy.

Looking at the desolate face of her Senior Sister, Qin Chuan felt helpless. He hoped that she would meet the right person.

…

After going downstairs,

Lu Yiping immediately came over to ask how it was.

Gu Mengyao had strong mental regulation abilities and was no longer that sad.

She didn’t want to show her sad side in front of Lu Yiping.

Gu Mengyao didn’t elaborate and just casually said, “Junior Brother Zhu said he doesn’t have time.”

“He’s not coming?” Lu Yiping was surprised. Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case.

Gu Mengyao said, “I told you Junior Brother Zhu definitely won’t come.

“A genius like him wouldn’t waste his time on such matters.”

Lu Yiping still couldn’t accept it. “Mengyao, tell me what happened tonight. And how did you ask?”

Gu Mengyao was getting impatient. “Junior Brother Zhu already said that he doesn’t have time, so stop asking.”

As her best friend, Lu Yiping, knew that her best friend had suffered quite a blow.

Since she had said so, she did not probe further and gave her time to recover from her emotional injuries.

That was how relations.h.i.+ps worked. You got used to it after getting hurt.
