Transmigrated into Substitute Bride Fu Lang

Chapter 25: 食材

Ingredients

Hearing Gu Lang’s words as if he was coaxing a child, Chen Xing’s face immediately turned red as he looked at him and tried to defend himself, “I, I’m not scared at all.”

 

Looking at Chen Xing’s thoroughly red face, Gu Lang slowly moved closer to his face and stared into his evasive eyes, saying with a hint of teasing, “Oh, really? Then you know that the moment the beheaded head hits the ground it bounces twice like a ball made of woven grass and vines before stopping. A large amount of bright red blood will spurt out from the broken neck and fall all over on the ground. If…”

 

Before Gu Lang could finish his sentence

Chen Xing already covered his mouth first with his hand. The previously red face had turned a little pale because he already made a mental connection or imagined it.

 

When Gu Lang saw his frightened look, the smile in his eyes had already disappeared and a bit of apology or regret even appeared. He had covered Chen Xing’s eyes just now because he didn’t want him to see those horrible scenes, but now he had taken the initiative to mention them, which was his fault.

 

Chen Xing had covered Gu Lang’s mouth when he was unable to think calmly, so the moment he came to his senses and felt the softness under his palm, he then realized that it was Gu Lang’s lips. His already pale face had now become red again.

 

Chen Xing hurriedly removed his hand from Gu Lang’s face and looked at him with a red face.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

The two apologies that rang out in unison caused the two of them who had been looking at each other to become dumbfounded for a moment.

 

It was Gu Lang who reacted first and said to Chen Xing who was still in a daze, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have scared you.”

 

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang who was apologizing to him and felt his face burning, it was his own fault yet he had made Gu Lang apologize to him.

 

Chen Xing hastily waved his hand and hurriedly said, “No, it’s not your fault. It’s my problem, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who kept on trying to put all the problems on himself and felt that if the argument continued, the problem would not end.

 

Thereupon, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with his usual gentle smile and changed the subject of their conversation, “Today is my payday so after this, I’ll treat you to a meal at a restaurant.”

 

Chen Xing who originally was still trying to apologize to Gu Lang, saw that the topic of conversation had suddenly changed to eating, at first he was a bit overwhelmed, but he still went along with his words, “That, that’s not good ba.”

 

Gu Lang looked at the confusion in Chen Xing’s eyes, the curve in his mouth gradually increased, therefore his voice became gentler and softer, as if his voice was purposely lowered with a hook that tickled people’s ears, “What is not good?”

 

The handsome face was getting closer and closer to his own. The original feverish face of Chen Xing gradually reddened again, subconsciously shifted his gaze and said somewhat uncomfortably, “Last time, we went out to eat without Qiu Jiu. This time, he didn’t come either, so I think it’s not good for us to go out to eat alone.”

 

Gu Lang who was still guessing what Chen Xing would say, laughed out loud when he heard him say this and in his tone there was a bit of doting that he didn’t even notice, “Why don’t we go back and call Qiu Jiu to let him come with us?”

 

Seeing Gu Lang repeatedly accommodating himself, Chen Xing, who was already blushing, felt more and more embarrassed. He didn’t even dare to look at Gu Lang’s eyes. His eyes fluttered as he said in a low voice, “No need, let’s go buy some ingredients and go back to make it by ourselves. I don’t think my cooking is worse than the outside ones.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who was glancing to the left and right but not looking at himself so his eyes were filled with a smile as he said in a gentle voice, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

 

Chen Xing’s heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a little, feeling that Gu Lang talking to him like this was kind of illegal.

 

The two of them decided to buy ingredients and go back to cook for dinner, so they didn’t stay here much longer. After discussing the dishes they wanted to eat in the evening, they went to the nearby grocery shop first, prepared to buy some seasonings that they had run out of.

 

When they arrived at the shop, Chen Xing was responsible for finding the spices he needed, while Gu Lang followed behind him and helped Chen Xing carry the spices that had already been packed.

 

When the two of them had finished packing up what they needed and took it to the counter to be weighed and paid, the old shopkeeper looked at Chen Xing and said cheerfully, “Your husband is a caring man. I haven’t seen such a hardworking husband for a long time. (willingly to work hard without complaining)”

 

Chen Xing looked at the old shopkeeper who was looking at him with a kind of ‘where did you find such a good husband, you have a good eye’ look. He opened his mouth, but still did not tell the shopkeeper that he and Gu Lang were just a fake husband and wife.

 

The shopkeeper was very quick, so while he was talking to Chen Xing, he had already weighed and packed all the things he had bought and calculated their prices.

 

Under the shopkeeper’s teasing gaze, Chen Xing paid the money with a red face and left the shop in a mess as he dragged Gu Lang with him.

When they went outside, only then Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang and said embarrassedly, “That…You don’t misunderstand, I didn’t clarify just now because I didn’t think it was necessary. I don’t think we need to explain so much to others about our relationship.”

 

“There’s no misunderstanding.”

 

Gu Lang’s cold and clear voice came out, causing Chen Xing to be confused for a moment. He raised his head, looked at him and bumped into the man’s gentle gaze, it was as if there were many things hidden in those black eyes that he couldn’t read.

 

Chen Xing stared at Gu Lang as he listened to him continue to say, “We are in a formally and legally married relationship.”

 

Chen Xing’s mind exploded, not knowing what Gu Lang meant when he suddenly said that. He tried to stabilize his wildly racing heart, wanting to ask Gu Lang what he really meant. If he didn’t mean the same thing as what he understood it to be, then Gu Lang shouldn’t keep saying such misleading things to him.

 

But before Chen Xing could ask that question, he saw Gu Lang’s expression, who was originally looking gentle across from him, change his face and suddenly pull him into his arms, while a ‘bang’ sounded in their ears.

 

The sudden warmth still took Chen Xing back a little, and after he realized that he was still in Gu Lang’s embrace right now, his face unconsciously blushed again.

 

Chen Xing was just about to ask Gu Lang what he was doing when he looked up and saw the look on Gu Lang’s face, because at that moment Gu Lang was staring ahead with a frosty face, his face was extraordinarily cold.

 

Chen Xing instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Not caring about the strange feelings that had just risen, he turned his head and looked in the direction Gu Lang was looking, only to see a beautiful woman holding a kitchen knife standing at the entrance of the restaurant five steps away from them. Opposite the woman was a not yet recovered from a fright madam, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

 

The woman raised the kitchen knife in her hand towards that madam and said fiercely, “If you dare to come over, I will cut you to death!”

 

Chen Xing took a look at the kitchen knife in the woman’s hand, then at the kitchen knife that had just brushed past his ear and landed not far from them at this moment. He suddenly became scared.

 

If Gu Lang hadn’t pulled him just now, then he would have been splattered with blood right now. Thinking of this, Chen Xing’s face also became unusually ugly. His gaze on that gorgeous woman also became unkind.

 

The moment Chen Xing’s face changed, the married woman who had come to her senses shook off the person holding her, stood up, looking at that woman and cursing her.

 

“You slutty fox, don’t you think that I’m afraid of you. In the past, you relied on your unclear relationship with Lai Jiu, so people didn’t dare to touch you. You just went around borrowing money and not paying it back, denying it the credit. Now that your backer has fallen, I’m telling you, if you don’t pay my money back again, I’ll smash up your shitty shop! You also don’t dare to scare me again with that stupid broken kitchen knife. I was brought up to be scared, I’m definitely not scared of this plaything!”

 

Faced with the woman’s loud and long curses, the woman’s face turned red, but she could not say any words in retort.

 

That madam looked at the woman’s red face as she did not dare to retort, seemed to feel relieved, thrust her waist towards the crowd watching and shouted,

 

“Please everyone who is present here, help me as a witness. I, Xu Xia, swear here that if this Qiao Xin doesn’t pay my money back again, I will definitely bring people over to smash her shop therefore no one will be able to persuade me. Even if this shameless disgusting plaything goes to my family that’s good for nothing, I won’t leave the matter as it is.”

 

That madam finished her harsh words, gave a provocative glance at the furious Qiao Xin and walked away with her servants behind her in arrogance and her head up.

 

Just as Chen Xing was watching the scene in front of him, sighing with feeling that both women in front of him were too tough as nails, he suddenly felt an intense gaze looking straight at him and when he looked over at that line of sight, just in time to meet with the woman’s angry stare at him.

 

Chen Xing froze for a moment, thinking that he saw it wrong (misinterpreting what he saw), after all, he didn’t know that woman, and there was no reason for her to look at him like that. But when he looked around for a few moments, he found that apart from him and Gu Lang, there was no one else here. Moreover, the woman’s angry gaze was directed at him.

 

Against reason, after glaring at Chen Xing for a few moments, the woman turned around and went back to the shop, closing the shop door with a bang.

 

Chen Xing watched this series of actions by the woman until the woman’s figure completely disappeared, then he turned his head to look at Gu Lang and said stiffly, “I don’t know that woman. Not only did she not apologize for almost cutting me just now, why is she still glaring at me like that?”

 

Gu Lang lowered his head and looked into Chen Xing’s slightly aggrieved eyes, his face, which was originally covered in ice, immediately softened, he raised his hand and gently stroked Chen Xing’s head, softly comforting him, “She just needed to vent her anger. She just happened to meet you, it’s not your fault at all.”

 

Listening to Gu Lang’s gentle reassurance and feeling the warmth of his palm falling on his head, Chen Xing only felt that his mood, which was still somehow being wronged just now, was gradually soothed. He nodded at Gu Lang, still a little unhappy and answered, “Hn.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who had regained some spirit, returned his smile, and then said in a warm voice, “Didn’t you say we are going to the market to buy a chicken? Let’s go there now, shall we?”

 

Chen Xing nodded his head. The unpleasantness just now was instantly thrown into the back of his mind as he led Gu Lang in the direction of the food market.

 

Looking at Chen Xing who had regained his spirit, Gu Lang who was walking behind him took a glance towards the door of the shop ‘that woman’ had entered before turning around and noted down in his mind the name of the shop on it ‘Qiao’s Restaurant’.

 

Gu Lang’s eyes darkened as he turned his body and caught up with Chen Xing in front of him. He must have let Qiu Jiu check it when he returned to see why this woman had so much ill will towards Chen Xing.

 

Chen Xing did not know what was in Gu Lang’s mind or plan, only then he noticed that Gu Lang had stopped and did not go, waiting in the same place. At this time, he saw Gu Lang catch up and asked him in a clear loud voice, “Is there anything else you want to eat these days? We’ll conveniently buy it and bring it back together.”
