Chapter 276 Where You Lived

Zhao Yuxi didn't hear any obvious hostility or kindness in Gu Tingzhou's father's words. The words sounded like a complaint or an accusation, but because his tone was so calm, she decided not to argue with him. Zhao Yuxi didn't expect the two men to help them or say many nice things to them. It was enough as long as they didn't deliberately create obstacles.

Dad said, "Just come back and visit us once in a while when you have time." Gu Tingzhou followed up his words and said, "I will have more time to come home and visit in the future."

How much time is "more time"? As long as it's more than now, as long as he goes home more than once a month, it won't count as breaking his promise. Going home once a month is easy to do, and he is willing to enjoy the feeling of keeping his promise.

"There will be more time later" may be true, but considering the attitude of this girl, will she allow her son to come home more often? Gu Tingzhou's parents are quietly prepared to accept the consequences of breaking their promise.

"Please sit in the living room for a while. I'll go get you some drinks."

Gu Tingzhou remembered that he bought two bottles of Coke when he went home last time, and he put one of them on the desk without opening it. He was not sure if his parents bought any drinks, after all, they did not have the habit of drinking. But he must have a bottle of Coke in his bedroom, so he walked straight into the bedroom.

The Coke was still there, still on the desk, unopened.

Gu Tingzhou walked out of the bedroom with a Coke: "Do you drink Coke?"

"Drink. Let's go to your bedroom and talk. I want to see where you used to sleep."

Gu Tingzhou hadn't slept here for a long time. The last time he came home, he ate a meal and left without lying down on the bed.

Zhao Yuxi wanted to see where he slept and wanted to talk to him in his room, avoiding the two people outside.

"Yeah." Gu Tingzhou led her to the bedroom. He pushed open the bedroom door, and the furnishings in the room were clearly visible.

Zhao Yuxi saw that Gu Tingzhou's desk was very unusual. There were three layers of asymmetrical hollow grids on the desk. These grids could be used as bookshelves, but they were not filled with books, but with many cups, both glass and porcelain. Moreover, there were three identical cups in the same grid. These cups looked very new and had never been used, but there was no dust on them. Could it be because his parents often came in to clean?

This doesn't seem to be in line with Gu Tingzhou's style. Does he like to buy cups? But there are not many cups in his villa. There is also his bedroom in the villa, with a desk and a bookshelf in the bedroom, but his desk and bookshelf are very simple, without gorgeous decorations and complicated carvings. It seems that in the beginning, he also deliberately pursued extravagant material conditions. However, how much can a desk cost, even if it is a little extravagant, is far less than the price of a house.

Zhao Yuxi opened the Coke, took a sip, and put it on the desk: "Gu Tingzhou, do you like beautiful cups? I'll give you a cup made of pure gold."

Gu Tingzhou picked up a purple porcelain cup and said, "I don't really like it, but I just want to fulfill my childhood dream. When I was a child, I wanted to buy a lot of cups. If one cup was broken, there would be another cup to replace it immediately. If one cup was worn out, there would be another cup to replace it immediately."

"This is a good dream. It's simple, but it can make people full of happiness. We should keep this dream going."

"No, buying more cups doesn't seem to make much difference. No matter how many cups I buy, I only use one when drinking water."

"Let me make you a new cup." Zhao Yuxi took a cup from the bookshelf. The musical notes fell on the wall of the cup. The simple and easy-to-understand flowers, plants and trees glowed with colorful light, making the forest look like clouds.

Gu Tingzhu watched the gorgeous changes intently. The cups in their hands were originally the same. When the notes fell, the cup in her hand gave people an illusion of bright lights. This illusion was very thin, as if the lights would shatter and the grass would wither with just a slight blow. When Zhao Yuxi grabbed his hand, spread his palm, and placed the cup in his palm, he still felt that the touch and weight were very fragile and unreal. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's just one note, not worth thanking for. Lend me your bed for a while."

"Okay." Gu Tingzhou put the colored cups in the middle and the purple cup on the left. Then he walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and pulled the sheets to make it look smoother.

Zhao Yuxi originally planned to lie on the quilt with her clothes on, but Gu Tingzhu lifted the quilt, which gave her a new idea. She put her coat and trousers on the bedside table and covered her body with the quilt, leaving her arms outside the quilt.

"Gu Tingzhou, I like you." Zhao Yuxi lay on her side, looking at the person standing beside the bed, her eyes full of attachment and expectation: In the near future, we will become a real couple, he will rely on me more, and I will rely on him more. Together, we will set new rules for the vast majority of people in this world.

"Well, I like you too. Do you want to have dinner at my house tonight?" Seeing that she was in a good mood, Gu Tingzhou took the opportunity to make a new request.

"Yes. If you want, I can sleep at your house tonight. Tomorrow you should get up early and leave from here to go to where I live."

"Okay." Gu Tingzhou still doesn't know where Zhao Yuxi's home is. Judging from her accent, she is probably from the south. After the modeling competition, she went to Qichuan City to take up a post. Could it be because her home is closer to Qichuan City? Maybe it's in a neighboring province. In the south or in the east? My jurisdiction is in the south, is her home there too? I haven't heard her say that. Excluding the south, there is only the east.

"Is your home in the province east of Qichuan City?"

"No. My home is very close to your jurisdiction. Do you remember our previous plan? I am on the south side of the Yellow River, you are on the north side of Dongting Lake, and Ye Lianshi is on the south side of Dongting Lake. My home is on the south side of your jurisdiction and on the east side of Ye Lianshi's jurisdiction. I also want this place, but it is not our goal this year. Ye Lianshi's city is still in his hands, and there are still some branch deans north of Dongting Lake who don't listen to our orders. These places and these people have to be put on hold."

Sure enough, when it comes to the matter of territory, Sister Zhao Yuxi has a lot to say. She doesn't want ten or twenty cities. Her ideal is too ambitious. Can I help her realize her ideal?

After Zhao Yuxi finished speaking, Gu Tingzhou remained silent for a long time and did not speak.

"You don't have to feel pressured. Expanding the territory is a simple matter. We can do it later. As long as our domain radius is much larger than theirs, they will definitely obey our orders. However, it is not enough to just make the branch deans obey our orders. There are more than 100 million people under our and their jurisdictions. It is more difficult to make these people follow the rules we set than to expand the territory."

Gu Tingzhou said: "I understand. What we want to change are mainly ordinary people, not the ancients."

"Yes. There are very few Ancients. Excluding the Ancients with empty lines and Ancients with too large asymptotic rates, there are only a few dozen Ancients who are qualified to be our opponents. If I also realize my wish, this number will be reduced by more than half. To change the Ancients and to take away their jurisdiction, it only takes a few battles to do it."

Gu Tingzhou agreed with Zhao Yuxi's goal.

"I will definitely protect you."
