83: Chapter 83: Silent Resentment_1 83: Chapter 83: Silent Resentment_1 âThisâŠâ Yang Ruxin hesitated, since accepting someoneâs hospitality could make one feel indebted, and no matter how thick-skinned she might be, she would feel uncomfortable.
âItâs just a bowl of noodles,â Gu Qingheng said with a smile.
âOkay then,â Yang Ruxin wasnât fussy; after all, she had silver now but couldnât spend it openly.
The reason she dared to go in and have some noodles was that a bowl only cost five or six coins, an amount even the poorest family could afford.
The most expensive dish in the noodle shop was shredded pork noodles, at six coins a bowl, followed by vegetable noodles at four coins, and egg noodles at five coins.
Gu Qingheng ordered three bowls of shredded pork noodles.
Truth be told, for Yang Ruxin, who was accustomed to various modern delicacies, the taste of these noodles wasnât so good, but she couldnât bear the hungerâshe hadnât eaten her first meal of the day when she arrived in town.
Although she had bought some food, she hadnât had time to eat, so now she was extremely hungry.
Moreover, the food of this era was all-natural â even something boiled in plain water had a kind of natural fragrance, so she quickly finished off the bowl of noodles.
Not a drop of soup remained.
Gu Yao looked at the giant bowl of noodles that was emptied in the blink of an eye and couldnât help but curl his lips.
Was this hunger enough to resurrect a starving ghost?
âI havenât eaten my fill like this in a long time.â Yang Ruxin ignored the disparaging look in Gu Yaoâs eyes, satisfied as she patted her stomach, âSo comfortableâŠâ
âIs that enough?â Although Gu Qingheng was blind, he still ate with elegance, clearly brought up with good manners from a young age, something intrinsic that couldnât be faked.
At the moment, he had only eaten half of his bowl of noodles.
âThatâs enough,â Yang Ruxin replied with a smile.
If she were the person from her past life, she could have had another bowl without a problem, but Yang Daniâs body couldnât handle it.
Having been starved previously, her stomach had shrunk to a point where her spirit was willing but her flesh was weak.
Gu Qingheng didnât say anything further but bent his head and slowly finished the rest of his noodles.
Then, taking out a handkerchief, he gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth, âLetâs go then.â
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but think of the phrase âa feast for the eyes.â
People around had already noticed Gu Qingheng, but with a hint of sympathy, since such a pretty person was blind, and it seemed such a wasteâŠ
Yang Ruxin frowned slightly; she didnât know why but she disliked others looking at him with pity.
She glared back at them and then pushed Gu Qingheng towards the exit.
Gu Yao furrowed his brow.
Wasnât this his job?
As soon as they left the noodle shop, they saw Guan Qingshu standing not far away.
His eyes were full of grievance as he stared at her.
Yang Ruxin felt annoyed.
What was he implying?
His look seemed like he had caught a cheating spouse, even though, as far as she was concerned, she had nothing to do with him.
Gu Yao glanced at Yang Ruxin: âHeâs looking for youâŠâ
Gu Qinghengâs brow creased slightly.
Yang Ruxin didnât want to deal with Guan Qingshu, so she turned around and walked towards the outskirts of town.
âYang Dani, are you ignoring me because of him?â Guan Qingshu quickly walked a few steps and blocked Yang Ruxinâs path, pointing matter-of-factly at Gu Yao.
âGuan Qingshu, stop talking nonsense,â Gu Yao said anxiously.
This was the woman his brother was interested in; how could he take her away?
Moreover, he didnât like the type that Yang Ruxin wasâtoo fierce for his taste; he preferred gentle and delicate women.
