Gu Tong's stomach bulged with hunger. Moreover, she wanted to find an excuse to scold Si Yicheng so that he wouldn't be so proud of her. Thus, she didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly picked up her chopsticks to savor the dish.

One, two, three...

The more dishes they tried, the more astonished Gu Tong became.

It was truly hard for her to believe that these dishes that were comparable to those of a large hotel had come from Si Yichen's hands.

"How can you have such excellent culinary skills? "Could it be that you secretly learned how to cook abroad?"

After personally tasting Si Yicheng's cooking skills, Gu Tong immediately gave in. Just thinking about Si Yicheng's earlier smug expression, she couldn't help but tease him.

However, the following reply from Si Yichen made her immediately regret saying such words.

"I didn't deliberately study, but when I was studying abroad, I always cooked for myself."

Si Yichen expressionlessly replied to Gu Tong, his tone casual.

He didn't know why, but Gu Tong saw the pain on his face and heard it in his voice. She felt that he had just said something about rubbing salt on her wounds.

It wasn't that Gu Tong liked to think too much, but that she really didn't think this kind of thing was suitable for him with his identity as Si Yichen.

"You …"

Gu Tong wanted to make up for her loss by asking about Si Yicheng's life abroad, but the words that came out of her mouth were so close that she didn't have the courage to say them.

When he first left the country, he didn't even want to notify you. But now, you ask him why is he living abroad with a straight face? Aren't you afraid that people will say that you're nosy?

Gu Tong questioned herself in her heart, hoping that she wouldn't do something that would cause her to be humiliated if she acted on impulse.

However, after being together with Si Yicheng for so long, it seemed as if all of these reasons weren't enough to convince her. Her heart was still itching for action …

He doesn't seem to be too bad to me. He seems to be a little concerned about me.

Gu Tong's previous thoughts were no longer as firm as before, and now she had a different voice.

"Back then …"

Gu Tong had had enough of guessing by herself. She threw caution to the wind and opened her mouth to ask Si Yicheng about what had happened all those years ago. Even if she had to "die", she wanted to "die" and no longer guess at her own self-torture.

However, the heavens didn't seem to want to give her that chance. Just as she opened her mouth and said a few words, her phone, which hadn't rang for a long time, suddenly rang.

"Ding ding …" "Ding ding …"

The continuous ringing of her cell phone startled her. It also frightened her to the point that she had finally mustered the courage to run away without a trace.

She helplessly sighed, then revealed an apologetic smile towards Si Yicheng before slowly taking out her phone.

She really hated the person who had called her, and it had caused her to miss a rare opportunity.

However, this feeling of disgust didn't last for long. In just a few seconds, her emotions had turned from a hateful to a conflicted one.

Why would Dad call me? You finally found out that I was gone? Or do you want to educate me again?

Gu Tong, who couldn't decide on Yang Yi's thoughts, held her phone in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Si Yicheng raised his head and looked over, puzzled. From the sudden change in Gu Tong's expression, he felt that something was wrong.

Hearing Si Yicheng's voice, Gu Tong subconsciously turned her phone over and faced the other side of the screen.

She suddenly remembered that Si Yicheng still didn't know about the matter between her and her family.

She didn't want Si Yicheng to know about this. Although she didn't know why, she wanted to hide it from him.

In order to not let Si Yicheng know that something was wrong, Gu Tong simply adjusted her mood and slowly connected the call.

"Little Gu, where are you now? How is your body? "

As soon as the call connected, Gu Yangyi's voice filled with concern and anxiousness reached Gu Tong's ears.

Hearing that Gu Yangyi had purposely called to take care of her, Gu Tong's heart suddenly felt warm and her nose was sore.

She didn't want Si Yi Chen and Gu Yang Yi to find out that something was wrong, so after she secretly sniffed, she opened her mouth to reply, "Dad! I'm fine, I'm... At a friend's house. "

Gu Tong stealthily sized up Si Yichen and finally decided to address him as a friend.

After hearing Gu Tong's words, Si Yichen knew that Gu Tong was talking to Gu Yi, so he quietly withdrew his gaze and continued to eat his food.

In a place that Gu Tong couldn't see, Si Yicheng's eyes flashed with a trace of injury.

"Why didn't you go home after such a big thing happened?"

After Gu Yangyi heard Gu Tong's answer, he immediately asked in excitement, obviously dissatisfied with her answer.

Hearing Gu Yang Yi's words, Gu Tong didn't know how to respond, so she could only divert her attention. "Dad, do you know what you're asking?"

"How long are you going to keep me in the dark after such a big thing has happened?"

Gu Yangyi didn't hide anything and directly told her everything he had learned from his teacher.

Hearing that Gu Yangyi had called her home as soon as he found out that something had happened, Gu Tong was moved. She was so happy that her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

However, this feeling only lasted for a few seconds before she heard an extremely annoying voice on the phone.

"Brother-in-law, the teachers don't understand what's going on and are just randomly spouting nonsense. I heard my good sister say that she's Little Tong's parent. She said that this matter was caused by Little Tong's man."

Ji Su Lan's sweet voice slowly drifted into Gu Tong's ears. The more she listened, the angrier Gu Tong became.

"Ji Su Lan, what nonsense are you spouting? Did his mother tell you? "If you say it out loud, I …"

Gu Tong roared furiously at the phone. She had clearly forgotten that the person calling her was not Ji Su Lan, but Gu Yang Yi.

Gu Yangyi immediately scolded in a cold tone, "Little Tong, shut up! I'll ask your aunt! "

"Brother-in-law, don't ask me. I don't dare to say too much. I'm afraid that Little Tong will complain to her man!" All the students who started a conflict with her today have been expelled by her man under pressure from the school. "

Just as Gu Yangyi finished speaking, Ji Su Lan's slightly fearful voice immediately followed.

Hearing Ji Su Lan's words, Gu Tong once again lost her patience. "Ji Su Lan, don't sow discord here. The truth of the matter isn't …"

"Gu Tong, where are you now? Are you with a man? "

Gu Yangyi cut her off, and his tone suddenly turned serious and angry.
