Chapter 669: So He Was Always Here
The man who was pushed away by the girl did not leave.Soon, Gu Beicheng once again appeared beside Xia Yinian, continuing the alchemy task they were working on earlier.
His skills were truly impressive, hiding his talents in plain sight; you wouldn’t be able to tell ordinarily.
He started to take it seriously, too, and once he did, he completely immersed himself in the moment.
Such an Uncle, really made Xia Yinian a bit puzzled.
Did he really come today just for the sake of alchemy?
If the incident just now hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t have any doubts about this question, but just now it was clear...
She sighed, deciding not to bother anymore.
After all, this Uncle is someone she could never truly understand in her lifetime.
Her mind returned to alchemy, and Xia Yinian soon forgot about the earlier incident.
About an hour passed, and she finally completed today’s task.
The girl picked up the bottle filled with Essential Oil, and glancing at the man beside her, felt a bit excited.
"Uncle, I’m done."
She hadn’t forgotten that Uncle had mentioned wanting to check her progress.
Moreover, in the past hour, he was busy the whole time; Xia Yinian felt it wasn’t right to have any doubts.
Seeing him serious, he seemed even more handsome than usual; when she had time, she couldn’t help but sneak a few glances.
Gu Beicheng took the bottle, gently unscrewed it and smelled it.
"Is this Essential Oil for invigorating blood circulation and clearing meridians?"
"Yes, Grandma and Grandpa, no, I mean Grandma Gu and Grandpa Feng’s legs are not very mobile, so I thought of researching some medicine for massage."
"How about it? What score would you give?" Xia Yinian looked at Gu Beicheng, all seriousness.
Getting any points from Seventh Young Master is really not an easy thing; she suddenly looked forward to him giving her some advice.
"Does Nian Nian want to take Yu Wanqing’s position?" Gu Beicheng looked at her, frowning slightly.
Xia Yinian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed before she reacted.
"A soldier who doesn’t want to become an officer isn’t a good soldier. Since I am entering the Alchemy Competition, obviously I have the hope to win, isn’t that normal?"
She bit her lip and glanced at him; after all, who wouldn’t want to be a champion? It’s a fair competition.
Besides, even if it’s not about winning the championship, aren’t there other placements? Isn’t it natural to want good results in a competition?
But Gu Beicheng just curled his lips, his voice almost melodious.
"My point isn’t about the Alchemy Competition, you want to do the massage for mom, essentially wanting to replace Yu Wanqing in her heart, aren’t you?"
"I don’t think that a family or a group can only have one person contributing."
So, the word ’replace’ does not apply.
Gu Beicheng looked at her, then suddenly smiled pleasantly: "However, I do hope that you can replace everything."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Beicheng averted his gaze, picked up a new pipette, and drew some Essential Oil from the bottle, dropping it into a small basin.
He twisted the cap tight and gently placed it on the table.
Just as Xia Yinian wanted to retort something, what caught her eye was the cautious Uncle, and she swallowed back her words.
This man, even a joke he could speak with such seriousness, it’s truly unparalleled.
Telling her she loves him, or suggesting she wants to replace Yu Wanqing in the Gu Family’s positions — What’s gotten into Uncle today?
Everyone is unique, and no one can replace another, but, she can strive to enhance her skills, work harder to do more for those in need.
That’s enough; why the need to replace anyone?
