Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 2355 - 1056: Lin Baici, You Ruined My State of Mind!

Lin Baici enjoyed spending time with the counselor, feeling as if he were living in a cozy cabin in the woods on a snowy winter’s day, warming by the fireplace and enjoying hot tea and small desserts.

Holding his lover while listening to the sound of falling snow.

The crackling firewood in the hearth illuminated his wife’s ever-enchanting face, dispelling the harshness of winter.

Lin Baici’s mind settled into tranquility, like a still lake, free of any ripples.

He hoped these days would last forever.

Eating, drinking tea, and chatting a bit.

Even without speaking, just sitting on the sofa while each surfed their phones, Lin Baici didn’t feel bored. As long as he occasionally glanced at Gu Qingxiang, a sense of satisfaction would quietly rise in his heart.

Like sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, with a warehouse full of mushrooms.

"Hmm?"

Sitting in a corner of the sofa, Gu Qingxiang noticed Lin Baici’s gaze and instinctively turned her head slightly, showing an inquisitive expression.

"Haha!"

Lin Baici laughed.

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Qingxiang touched her face.

"Your expression is just like an NPC in a game, with a question mark popping up above your head!"

Lin Baici turned off his phone screen and said, "If I talk to you now, could I receive a quest?"

"Childish!"

Gu Qingxiang rolled her eyes at Lin Baici, but then quickly laughed out loud.

Since meeting Lin Baici, her life had indeed changed.

Gu Qingxiang’s recent trip to Xijing was partly to check on the Qin Palace Divine Ruins and partly to try and forget Lin Baici while touring.

In the end, she was a god, and there was no future with Lin Baici.

Even if he’s the Haijing god of forest, the youngest Nine Provinces Dragon Wing, his body still couldn’t withstand a god’s energy field.

If he stayed with her too long, he would undoubtedly be contaminated.

But now it seemed, she could no longer let go of him.

Since coming to this planet, how many years had it been... Gu Qingxiang thought she had grown accustomed to loneliness, but now it seemed...

She hadn’t!

Days passed like this, though plain, Lin Baici thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that he didn’t even go home, accompanying Gu Qingxiang to the market daily to buy groceries and fish, then collaborating on culinary experiments.

Even living in this old rundown neighborhood felt better than his large villa, as long as Gu Qingxiang was there.

...

On the day Jiang Yitong officially received the house, she called Lin Baici several times, inviting him to collect the house together, but Lin Baici refused.

This made Jiang Yitong very angry.

Then she began to doubt herself.

Was Lin Baici playing hard to get, or had he lost interest in her?

Jiang Yitong thought Lin Baici was quite cunning, so it must be the former, but internally, she was very anxious.

Because she feared Lin Baici might end their relationship, citing the gifts of a mansion and a luxury car as reasons.

"Do I really mean that little to you?"

At the school gate, picking up a parcel, Jiang Yitong was constantly questioning herself on the way back to the dorm. Even when passersby girls cast envious and jealous glances her way, or a bold boy asked for her WeChat, her confidence wasn’t restored.

"Lin Baici, you’ve shattered my ambitions!"

Jiang Yitong pouted, cursing.

When other couples establish a relationship, they want to be inseparable, especially after bonding intimately; they practically become inseparable, seeking hidden corners for affection every day.

But not them!

They had drifted apart!

"I’m not ugly, am I?"

"I don’t need to wear yoga pants. Back in high school, even in plain uniforms, those boys would secretly take pictures of me with their phones."

Cuddling the parcel, Jiang Yitong aimlessly returned to the dorm.

Though formal classes hadn’t started for over a week, many students were already back, especially seniors facing the pressures of graduation and employment, visibly anxious.

In the dorm, Jiang Yitong found a suitcase and a large bag on the floor; Kong Yulan was sitting on her bed, guzzling a bottle of mineral water.

"This weather will be the death of me with its heat!"

Chatting with Zhang Le, Kong Yulan greeted Jiang Yitong on her return: "Hey, why’s our young lady Jiang back to school so early?"

"It’s boring staying at home!"

Before, Jiang Yitong would have thought Kong Yulan was being sarcastic, but since Lin Baici donated a million to the student council, Kong Yulan had toned down her hostility.

Speaking of which, she hadn’t thanked him yet!

Truthfully, having a dorm mate scrutinizing you constantly, trying to dig up dirt, especially when you pretend to be a rich girl, was quite stressful for Jiang Yitong.

Before, she avoided the dorm, sneaking into her mom’s place, scared of questioning she couldn’t answer.

After all, what wealthy girl would choose a cramped dorm over a spacious apartment during summer break?

No need to worry about that now.

No more panic!

Who dares question me?

Why not come see my grand house in Haijing?

It’s Guanlan Mansion!

A luxury residence priced at seventy to eighty thousand per square meter, with comprehensive facilities like gyms and swimming pools!

"Why so long?"

Zhang Le complained, "I’m about to faint from hunger!"

"Blame the courier. He took ages to find my package!"

Jiang Yitong’s excuse slipped easily from her lips.

In fact, she deliberately chose the noon meal rush to collect her package. Surrounded by people, carrying an expensive package drew attention, which gave her a deep sense of superiority.
