This is Gu Qiaoqiao’s best opinion of Dongfang Yu.

His cooking skills are really good.

Better than hers.

The food he makes is truly delicious.

Not only is it her first time, but even Shang Qing is also eating his food for the first time.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao is sitting at a wooden table, with ten little dishes on the round table.

There are stir-fries, cold dishes, soups, pastries, and peach jelly iced tea...

Even Gu Qiaoqiao finds it somewhat unbelievable.

This person, he really...

It’s either he doesn’t cook, or he cooks up a big feast.

It seems there’s gratitude toward her.

How good he is, does he not realize it?

He is not a fool.

Gu Qiaoqiao sits, tastes a few dishes, and can’t help but praise, "I have to say, your cooking skills are really good. Looks like Shang Qing is going to be very blessed in the future..."

Shang Qing stands next to Dongfang Yu, her cheeks turning red.

It seems the issues standing between the two have been resolved.

Actually, yes. If Dongfang Yu still has issues now, then he wouldn’t be human.

Dongfang Yu’s face is also a bit red.

It’s from shyness, and also a sign of recovery after illness.

He didn’t expect that the problem bothering him was resolved last night.

Although Shang Qing played an important role in this, ultimately he still has to thank Gu Qiaoqiao’s treasure.

Strictly speaking, his relationship with Gu Qiaoqiao is hard to define, not quite enemies, not quite friends.

In this situation, Shang Qing played a significant role.

Otherwise, he would have distanced himself from people.

Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are predetermined, this is normal. Since entering the world, he has experienced a lot and learned many lessons, so he has become more open-minded.

Especially when this accident happened, there wasn’t even time to say goodbye to Shang Qing.

Luckily, before this, he purposely distanced himself from Shang Qing because of his health, not wanting her to get involved in his affairs. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The engagement was truly too hasty.

He forgot about his health conditions.

He thought it would be years later, but who knew it would happen earlier, catching him unprepared.

His illness, Gu Qiaoqiao could treat it, Gu Junbai could too.

But he never intended to seek them out.

Yet, after all the twists and turns, he still owes a huge favor.

Probably will never be able to repay in this lifetime.

Including Shang Qing’s.

Thinking of Shang Qing, he couldn’t help but recall last night’s crucial moment of curing the cold poison, where Shang Qing helped him again.

Those soft and fragrant lips...

Thinking of it, his heart is on fire, his heart racing.

And his face is a bit red.

In all his lifetimes combined, it’s his first time being so close with a girl.

But this person is Shang Qing, whom he likes very much.

Dongfang Yu takes a deep breath, concealing the odd colors in his eyes, and performs a grand gesture of respect toward Gu Qiaoqiao.

It’s the kind of bow that goes to the ground.

Gu Qiaoqiao initially intended to stand up, thought about it, and received it, as it is what she deserved.

Of course, the main credit goes to the Snow Spirit Ball.

"They say great kindness demands no thanks, but I still want to thank Miss Gu again for her generous heart," Dongfang Yu sincerely said.

"Alright, I accept your gratitude. Can we eat the meal now?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked with a smiling face.

The sky is vast, the earth is large, and eating is paramount.

"Of course, I’ve calculated the time. If we leave now, we would drive at night. Let’s depart tomorrow, or perhaps stay a few more days here, admire the scenery, and take it as a vacation..."

After Dongfang Yu and Shang Qing sat down, Dongfang Yu gently suggested.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, having no objections.

She then tasted a piece of sweet and sour ribs, savoring the rich flavor, the perfect combination of meat and sauce, allowing her taste buds to experience the ultimate deliciousness.

"Really delicious."

"Yes, very delicious," said Shang Qing.

Just like Gu Qiaoqiao, she hurriedly tasted various dishes.

Really, each has its own flavor, leaving Gu Qiaoqiao and Shang Qing no time to discuss their opinions, only continuously stuffing food into their mouths.

After Gu Qiaoqiao tasted all the dishes, she suddenly remembered a serious matter. She blinked her eyes, looked at Dongfang Yu opposite her who hadn’t moved his chopsticks much, and tentatively asked, "Dongfang Yu, these foods..."

Dongfang Yu was stunned, was there something wrong with the food?

He quickly realized that Gu Qiaoqiao probably thought these things had been stored for twenty years. How could it be?

He bought them at the early market of Dahe Town nearby after recovering last night, and both the vegetables and peaches come from here, naturally they’re fresh, he quickly explained, "They’re all fresh, I bought them this morning from the early market outside the forest in Dahe Town..."

Hearing this, Gu Qiaoqiao was reassured, continuing to enjoy this hard-to-come-by feast.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought, this could truly be called a gourmet feast.

Following that, thinking they’d be able to eat tonight and the following morning, her accumulated gloom quickly vanished. Life is like this, some things shouldn’t be obsessed over too much, otherwise living would be exhausting.

And Gu Qiaoqiao knows that changing fate and living anew isn’t easy.

By cosmic rules, she shouldn’t exist in this world.

But she does.

And exists quite boldly.

So she needs to do more things within her capability, naturally changing some people’s fate within the predetermined fate, which generates lots of positive energy for this world.

Therefore, she doesn’t reject some events now, nor does she see herself as a savior, just choosing a win-win approach.

Such is the case with Dongfang Yu.

Another aspect is because Shang Qing loves him.

Can’t just stand by and watch him perish, especially since she has the capability.

Though she doesn’t know why, it feels like the relationship between the two seems a bit different now.

She has seen them together a few times before.

Well, as Shang Qing said, Dongfang Yu indeed treats her like a child, sometimes patting her head or holding her hand, but never has he done intimate actions in front of them.

Of course, one wouldn’t do intimate actions in public.

Others may think this way, but Gu Qiaoqiao doesn’t. You can see traces of intimacy between loving couples even in the open.

So Dongfang Yu and Shang Qing’s relationship seemed more like mutual respect to Gu Qiaoqiao.

But today is different, or rather, since last night it feels different.

During the eating intervals, she secretly glanced at the two in front, noting Dongfang Yu didn’t eat much, but cared for Shang Qing a lot.
