Chapter 42
41. Scheming
Return home.
As soon as Gu Heng closed the door with a click, he heard Li Zhongxun's voice in the living room.
"Brother, you're back!" Li Zhongxun, who was sitting on the sofa and pulling his hair while doing his homework, straightened up.
"Well," Gu Heng changed his shoes and entered the living room, "Where are aunt and uncle?"
"Oh, Mom is in the kitchen. Dad is working overtime tonight and said it will be later."
As he spoke, Li Zhongxun's eyes fell on the biscuit bag in Gu Heng's hand.
"Brother, did you just buy this?"
"No, it was a gift from a friend."
Gu Heng put the small gift from Lin Yuner on the table and casually extinguished Li Zhongxun's unspoken expectations.
"Don't think about it, I won't let you eat this before dinner. It's your own business if you want to be scolded by Aunt Jingshu, but don't take me with you."
Li Zhongxun sighed and sank back into the sofa, "Doing homework really consumes your body's energy, bro."
"Then you should eat more dinner." Gu Heng smiled, showing no intention of compromising.
Perhaps hearing the noise in the living room, He Jingshu leaned out of the kitchen and asked, "Xiao Heng is back?"
"Yes, Auntie, just came in and sat down."
"Okay, the food is ready. When your uncle comes back, we will start dinner right away."
He Jingshu wiped her hands and came to the living room, "Huh? Did you bring back food?"
"Well, my friend baked the cookies himself, would you like to try them?"
"Okay," He Jingshu took the bag from Gu Heng, took a small piece and put it in her mouth, "Well, it tastes good."
"Oh mom." Li Zhongxun said weakly.
"What do you want me to do?" He Jingshu tied the bag tightly again and looked at Li Zhongxun.
"It's okay." Looking at He Jingshu's movements, he swallowed his words silently.
The youngest in the family always has no human rights.
After having dinner.
After coming to Gu Heng's room to do his homework, Li Zhongxun finally ate the biscuit he had longed for.
Leaning on the bedside, Gu Heng flipped through the information at hand, raised his head and glanced at Li Zhongxun at the desk, and asked,
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty."
"Ah That's good."
Gu Heng took his cell phone and sent Lin Yuner a message, telling her the affirmation from the Li family, and then asked casually, "Then why did you just eat a piece?"
“Dinner was too filling”
Li Zhongxun touched his stomach, full of "resentment".
Gu Heng chuckled lightly, "Then do more homework and use up more energy before eating."
Silence returned to the room.
Gu Heng continued to flip through the information, while Li Zhongxun continued to scratch his head at the homework.
High school students in Seoul are still under a lot of academic pressure.
Especially after Lee Ji-eun gave up continuing her studies, Lee Jong-shin and his wife's expectations in this regard fell on Lee Jong-hoon.
Another hour passed.
The door to Gu Heng's room was gently pushed open, and a head poked out from the crack in the door.
"Is work over?" Gu Heng raised his head and smiled at Li Zhien, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten, I've eaten in the company canteen~"
Li Zhien opened the door and walked in, "Hmm? Zhongxun, what are you doing in my brother's room?"
"I'm so sorry. He's also my brother. I let you down."
Li Zhongxun retorted, and at the same time he quickly pushed the biscuit bag on the table behind his pile of books, trying to hide it.
Unfortunately, the action was a little late. Not only did it not escape Li Zhien's eyes, it also attracted her special attention.
"Tsk, it turns out there is something to eat, little Zhongxun."
Li Zhien walked to Li Zhongxun's side with light steps, spread out one of his palms,
"Zhongxun, you definitely don't want your sister to be charged with any violence, right?"
Li Zhongxun clenched a fist and handed over the bag of biscuits that he had just eaten two pieces with tears in his eyes.
"This is so true."
Li Zhien pinched Li Zhongxun's face gently and came to Gu Heng's side with the cookie bag.
After finding a place to lie down comfortably, she first gave another stack of paper to Gu Heng, "Here, brother."
"What's this?"
"The outline script for the MV shooting." Li Zhien said while opening the cookie bag.
"." Gu Heng silently opened the script.
"Well, this biscuit tastes pretty good. No wonder Zhong Xun hides it so well."
Li Zhien took a small bite and gave a positive evaluation.
Turning the bag back and forth, she wondered, "Which store is this from? Why is there nothing written on it?"
"My friend baked it himself and gave me some as a gift."
"Oh, that's it."
Li Zhien took another bite and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Very few boys are interested in baking, right?
"Which friend of yours is this, Oppa?" Li Zhien sounded suspicious.
Gu Heng raised his head and looked at her, paused, ".Yooner."
"Lin Yuner?!" Li Zhien suddenly felt that what he was chewing in his mouth was not biscuits, but nails.
"Um."
"You two meet again?"
Li Zhien's teeth began to grind, "Didn't I tell you not to meet idol stars in the entertainment industry in private? You see, you were photographed last time, and you haven't recognized her true face, Lin Yoona!"
Li Zhien stared at Gu Heng, his tone full of "sadness".
"Well, no," Gu Heng flipped through the script with a troubled look on his face, while answering Li Zhien, who seemed to be suffering from "brother being persecuted delusion." "Yooner said the same thing, she told me not to talk to people in the entertainment industry casually.
Idol stars meet privately."
"Well, she also said that if I go to meet any idol stars, I'd better take you with me."
Gu Heng touched Li Zhien's hair and said, "She doesn't have any ill intentions. Don't always treat her like this."
"You are asked to take me with you when you get together with others?" Li Zhien was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
This Lin Yoona obviously wants to use her to kick away other "competitors"!
"It's so... so scheming!"
Li Zhien's impression of Lin Yoona once again deteriorated to a new level.
Such a scheming woman, if she really "succeeded", wouldn't my brother have to be manipulated by her in the future?!
Li Zhien immediately sounded the red level alarm in his heart.
"Zhien, are you okay?" Gu Heng asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
Seeing the MV script in Gu Heng's hand, another thought suddenly flashed through Li Zhien's mind.
"Sister." Li Zhongxun's voice came from the other side, interrupting her thoughts.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
"Are you not going to eat that biscuit?" Li Zhongxun coughed slightly and raised his hand slightly, "Why don't you give it back to me? I..."
Li Zhien opened his eyes wide, feeling like he almost had a heart attack from anger.
"Lee Jong-hoon! You are dreaming! Go to the toilet right now and spit out what you have eaten!"
"ah?"
