Chapter 39

Gu Yanshu’s hand was injured, so the burden of cooking naturally fell onto Shen Jue.

This was the first time Jiang Tan had seen Shen Jue cook. She couldn’t help but squeal, “Little Shushu, Teacher Shen is so handsome when he cooks!”

Was he handsome?

Gu Yanshu looked up at the kitchen and happened to see Shen Jue’s side profile.

Yes, he was handsome.

The sleeves on his white shirt were folded to just the right length, revealing the man’s slender yet strong forearms and a pair of well-maintained hands. He seemed leisurely, noble, and carefree as he stood before the stove. He was indeed handsome.

Jiang Tan clicked her tongue. “Whoever marries Teacher Shen in the future will definitely be very happy. He’s so handsome, manly, and he’s also rich!”

Sheng Ping watched the commotion and decided to stir the pot as he asked with a smile, “Isn’t Gu Yanshu your ideal type?”

“So, this kind of question is meaningless. Anyway, even if I were to choose them, they wouldn’t choose me.” Jie Shuang put down the teacup and ended the topic coolly.

Xu Fangfang gave her a thumbs up. Sister Shuang is right. Such men should be produced and given away on their own. As for them, they didn’t need love, they simply needed to watch other people’s love. 

However, Jiang Tan made a decision decisively. “I choose Gu Yanshu.”

“Why?”

“There’s no other reason but the fact that he’s good-looking. Anyway, good looks are justice.” Jiang Tan said righteously.

In the kitchen, Shen Jue had already smashed the cucumbers into pieces.

He was wondering if he should pick a day to take Gu Yanshu to the tanning salon, or feed him till he became a little fatty.

Why was this person so good-looking for no reason? He was so attractive to others.

Thinking of Gu Yanshu’s charming appearance on the stage that day, Shen Jue planned to increase the breaking of the chains. 

Gu Yanshu was so good-looking, so he should lock him up and admire him alone.

Thinking of this, Shen Jue poured another half bottle of vinegar into the dish fiercely.

Meanwhile, in the living room, the three ladies were excessively bragging about Gu Yanshu’s looks.

Jiang Tan sighed and lay on the sofa. “Ah, Xiao Shu is so good-looking that I don’t even want to shoot the two person cover with him. If it happens, and a dignified female idol like me is inferior to him in terms of looks, how will I survive?”

Two-person cover?

Hearing these three words, Gu Yanshu and Shen Jue both perked up.

Shen Jue put down the things in his hand, took out his phone, and quickly sent a message to Ye Leng. “What’s going on? Haven’t we already contacted them about the two person cover? Why do I hear that Jiang Tan seems to be willing to do it?”

Ye Leng replied, “Yes, we’ve contacted them, and we’ve already added you to the backup list, but whether your precious baby chooses you or not depends on your own ability. After all, we’re upright people. We don’t encourage the use of privileges.”

Shen Jue: “…”

There was a hint of gloating in his words. He was indeed his real brother.

On the other hand, Gu Yanshu was also a little unclear about the situation. “Are you talking about the two person cover for ‘FAS’? The candidate has already been decided?”

“Not yet. My manager said that they’re still in the midst of negotiations. I think the editorial department gave the plan to you and asked you to choose. Haven’t you received the news yet?” Jiang Tan said as she looked at Gu Yanshu pitifully. “Xiao Shushu, you won’t not choose me, right? We’re the QingShu couple after all.”

Gu Yanshu really didn’t know about this. He had just returned from the mountains in the morning and Fang Yuan hadn’t spoken to him yet.

As he was thinking, his phone vibrated.

Fang Yuan: “Xiaoshu, FAS has sent over their backup plan. You should make your choice today. The filming is next week, so the scheduling is tight. Don’t delay it further.” 

Annex 1: Candidate: Jiang Tan

Annex 2: Candidate: Bei Cheng

Annex 3: Candidate: Shen Jue

…

Shen Jue.

Gu Yanshu knocked on these two words with his fingertips.

This person had long taken solo covers on the most popular magazines, and even claimed that he would never take group cover shots, because it was beneath him to do so. So why did he suddenly think of accepting this two person cover now? 

There must be something wrong with him for him to act this abnormally. He definitely didn’t have any good intentions.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan pressed “Annex 3” and deleted it indifferently.

Big liar.

He was hiding something from him, but still wanted to shoot a two man cover with him? 

Dream on.

As soon as he deleted it, Jiang Tan, who was next to her, blinked pitifully again. “Xiaoshu, you won’t not choose me, right?”

Gu Yanshu put away his phone and said calmly, “The decision in this matter isn’t with me. I’ll listen to my manager.”

“I see…” A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Tan’s eyes, but it was only for a fleeting moment, so no one noticed it. Then, she immediately covered it with a loud laugh, “Then I think I’m definitely fine. Why don’t we take a selfie to warm up first…”

Bang!

Before Gu Yanshu could think of a polite way to reject her, Shen Jue slammed a plate of smashed cucumber salad on the table and said in an unfriendly tone, “Time to eat.”

Xu Fangfang quickly squeezed between Jiang Tan and Gu Yanshu and held Jiang Tan’s hand as she walked to the dining table with a smile. “Come, let’s eat first. After dinner, we’ll take a family photo together.”

Jie Shuang also took the opportunity to say, “Come, this seat is closest to the food. You should sit here.”

After saying that, the two of them sat down on either side of Jiang Tan, successfully cutting off the possibility of her touching Gu Yanshu.

Sheng Ping sat down on the other side with Xia Qingqiao, leaving two seats for Shen Jue and Gu Yanshu, side by side.

After everyone sat down, they were stunned when they saw the dishes on the table.

Shen Jue raised his eyebrows. “Is there a problem?”

What do you think the problem is?

Pickled cucumbers, pickled cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, sour beef with soup, and lemon fish.

Why was he acting so sour? 

Sheng Ping was silent for a while, then said slowly, “I just want to ask, is there still vinegar at home?”

“It’s all gone.”

“I just bought a big bottle and it’s all been used up?!”

“Mm.” Shen Jue picked up a piece of pickled cucumber casually. “I used too much vinegar today.”

“…”

As the saying went, a fire at the city gate had affected the fishes in the water. 

You can be jealous for all you want, but what did we do wrong? 

And Shen Jue didn’t seem to realise his problem at all. He just tilted his head and looked at Gu Yanshu. “I heard that the candidate for the two person cover hasn’t been decided yet?”

“Mm.” Gu Yanshu ate a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs calmly.

“Did you receive the backup list?”

Gu Yanshu was still calm. “Yes, what’s the matter?”

What’s the matter? You should know what the matter was. 

You received the name list and saw that I was on it. Why didn’t you choose me? You even let your manager choose. Are you so capable now? 

Shen Jue put down his chopsticks.

“Gu Yanshu, come with me for a while.”
