    215. What happened to He Zhizhou

    Seeing Gu Pan’s tears falling endlessly, He Zhizhou reached out his hand distressedly and wiped the tears from her face.

    The silly rabbit who was caught off guard immediately shivered from the cold.

    “Sorry…it seems like it’s hard for my fingers to warm up for a while.” He Zhizhou resisted the urge to hug this silly rabbit and retracted his hand.

    The few tears on my fingers became cold in a moment.

    Gu Pan wiped his tears. He Zhizhou who was so cautious was really unfamiliar.

    “Zhouzhou… A lot of things have happened recently. I’m really confused. I need some time…” The girl’s nose was a little stuffy and she spoke in a sullen voice, with a sense of squeamishness.

    “I will give you time.” He Zhizhou breathed a big sigh of relief, glad that he did not directly face Gu Pan’s rejection without hesitation, “Thank you… for not rejecting me directly.”

    How could I refuse?

    She sniffed, “But… Zhouzhou, why did you do this… I’m not a very good person.”

    “You are a very good person.” He Zhizhou looked at Gu Pan, his expression became serious in the blink of an eye, “At least in my eyes you are a very good person.”

    “W-what’s so good about him?” Gu Pan thought hard and couldn’t think of anything special about him.

    “You want me to count your advantages? Let me think about it, such as gentleness, kindness…”

    “No!” Gu Pan couldn’t bear to listen, and didn’t know how He Zhizhou could say these words seriously, “I mean… I don’t think I’ve attracted you in any way.”

    When He Zhizhou heard Gu Pan’s words, he smiled and at the same time his eyes finally exuded a refreshing warmth: “I feel very relaxed in front of you. Is this the biggest advantage? You know, a semi-aging person like me is not so easy to let down my guard in front of the opposite sex.”

    “…You are so old.” Gu Pan was dumbfounded by He Zhizhou’s words, “Zhouzhou, you are obviously still very young.”

    “You’re not young anymore.” He Zhizhou smiled and gently rubbed Gu Pan’s palm with his fingertips, “Will Panpan dislike me?”

    “…” Gu Pan almost blurted out the word “I don’t know”, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong and quickly swallowed it.

    Seeing Gu Pan’s happy expression when he realized that he almost made a mistake, the smile on He Zhizhou’s face became heavier: “Speaking of which, I haven’t had lunch yet. You are familiar with this area. How about recommending a restaurant?”

    The topic changed so hard that fortunately Gu Panren couldn’t hear it.

    After all, if you keep sitting here, don’t talk about yourself, silly rabbit might get sick again.

    Gu Pan’s eyes were as red as a rabbit. He knew that if he went upstairs now, Gu Chengjue would definitely find out about it. After an interrogation, he would be given a scolding, so he simply found a nearby restaurant and went in with He Zhizhou to warm up.

    The restaurant was not big, with some old colors everywhere, and there was an old-fashioned big-ass TV inside. Fortunately, the heating was turned on enough, and Gu Pan didn’t want to go back to the cold wind to find another place.

    “Speaking of… Zhouzhou, do you have any taboos?” Because it was lunch time, there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Most of them were eating with their heads down. The air was filled with the aroma of food, which made even Gu Pan, who was already full, want to take another bite.

    It was Gu Pan’s turn to recommend dishes, and Gu Pan realized that he didn’t know He Zhizhou’s taste at all.

    “No.” He Zhizhou shook his head frankly, then looked at the menu posted on the wall, “I can do it.”

    Gu Pan was actually a little surprised that He Zhizhou would accept this small restaurant.

    Because although He Zhizhou can be regarded as a person who puts taste first, the places he chooses basically pay equal attention to environment and taste.

    “I’m full…what do you want to eat?” Gu Pan has actually been to this restaurant once or twice, and has not eaten many dishes: “I remember that this curry pork chop rice is quite delicious.”

    “Okay, then I’ll take that one.” He Zhizhou said and waved to the waiter.

    “Hey, do you really want to eat pork chop rice?” Gu Pan thought for a while and felt something was wrong, “I don’t know if you will like it. The curry here is quite spicy…”

    “It’s okay, I like spicy food very much.” The man ordered the food he wanted from the waiter and then ordered a hot drink for Gu Pan, “I liked spicy food the most when I was in high school.”

    This was the first time Gu Pan heard He Zhizhou mention his past affairs.

    “But you rarely eat spicy food now.” Gu Pan held his chin, feeling a little incredible about this, “You didn’t order spicy dishes when we went out.”

    “Because I’m getting older.” He Zhizhou picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, “I was too unrestrained when I was young, and now my stomach is actually not very good. I will get stomachache after eating spicy food.”

    “Eh?” The girl in front of her opened her eyes slightly because of her words, showing an incredulous expression, “Then don’t eat this pork chop rice!”

    “Don’t worry.” He Zhizhou held the hot tea in his hand and felt the warmth in his palms. The warmth seemed to jump from his palms to his heart, making him relax involuntarily. “Generally, it is difficult for me to feel spicy. Ordinary spicy taste will not make me uncomfortable.”

    Gu Pan actually had a hard time imagining that someone like He Zhizhou could be addicted to eating spicy food.

    After all, he doesn’t look like someone who would be driven to tears while communicating…

    At this time, the food ordered was brought up. Looking at the steaming curry pork chop rice, Gu Pan was actually a little curious about whether He Zhizhou could accept such a taste.

    However, the man’s expression remained calm after taking a bite: “It’s not too spicy for me, and it tastes pretty good. I feel like I’ve found a good store.”

    “Does your family also like spicy food?” Gu Pan held up his chin and looked at He Zhizhou opposite with his big eyes shining innocently.

    “No.” The expression on He Zhizhou’s face did not change, but his eyes darkened slightly: “They don’t like food with strong pungent taste.”

    “…Then how did you like spicy food?”

    “They didn’t like it, so they didn’t allow me to like it. I didn’t eat spicy food until I entered full-time high school, and then I became addicted to it.” The man swallowed the food in his mouth and recounted his past events in a calm narrative tone, “I went a little too far during that period, and ended up with gastritis in one breath… Well… it’s completely self-inflicted.”

    Gu Pan held a hot drink in his hand and listened quietly to He Zhizhou’s plain description of his past events.

    “Then…Zhouzhou, how spicy did you eat…” Gu Pan actually had a hard time imagining what it would be like to be in a state of gastritis due to spicy food.

    He Zhizhou took another mouthful of rice and smiled as if he was remembering the scene at that time and rolled his eyes: “Abnormal spicy chicken wings, I ate more than a dozen skewers in a row.”

    At this time, Gu Pan felt that the man in front of him, who was still well-dressed, seemed to be really sitting opposite him.

    As long as she reaches out her hand, she can touch he.
