Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

343 Guilt

Xiaoguo didn’t answer and asked him instead. Didn’t he say that Shao Zhan was looking for him and he would be gone for a day? He wouldn’t be back until evening at the earliest. Xiaoguo had miscalculated. If Yu Zhizhi hadn’t run away for no reason, the two of them would have come face-to-face!

“Yes, I have something on. I’m just here to get some clothes.”

Jiang Danhe gestured at the clothes in his hand.

“Why are you bringing clothes with you?”

“I have something on tonight. I’ll be back first thing in the morning.”

Jiang Danhe didn’t have much time. After informing Xiaoguo, he walked out. However, he suddenly turned back halfway and instructed her worriedly, “Keep the doors and windows shut.”

“Aiya, I know that…”

Xiaoguo nodded helplessly. This was the nth time he had said that.

Jiang Danhe smiled and left after saying the words, “Good girl.” And he left just like that. She could sense so much anxiety by just looking at his cute-looking back view.

Xiaoguo couldn’t help but laugh. He was so pressed for time, but he still spent so much time dawdling with her.

Just as Xiaoguo was coming out with the ice porridge, she bumped into Yu Zhizhi, who was all dressed up.

“Xiao… Madam, are you going out?”

Yu Zhizhi quickly tugged at the corner of Xiaoguo’s clothes. She couldn’t help but sound anxious.

“That’s right. I’m going out to deliver some food.”

Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi were still studying in the pavilion. She was planning to serve them some ice porridge to reward them for their hard work.

As the pavilion was not far away, Xiaoguo did not wrap up the porridge with a cotton cloth. However, after being intercepted by the other party, the ice porridge was starting to melt a little. Although it was still edible, she still needed to send it over as soon as possible. After all, the dessert was meant to be eaten cold so as to help them cool down.

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo broke away from her and continued walking.

Yu Zhizhi looked into the house and then at Xiaoguo’s departing figure. She was so anxious that the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn from her constant tugging. In the end, her rationality got the better of her. She stomped her foot indignantly and chased after Xiaoguo.

As she chased after her, she said, “Wait for me. Let’s go together…”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she really slowed down. If she had to wait, so be it. She suddenly remembered that she had yet to inform Yu Zhizhi of the bad news. The man she had been longing for would not be back tonight. She had cleaned up and dressed up for nothing…

Yu Zhizhi kept up with Xiaoguo’s pace without any difficulty. She even deliberately walked half a step ahead of her.

Of course, Xiaoguo had no intention of losing out to her. This was considered provocative behavior. Back then, although she was always in the kitchen, she had fought with zombies using her bare hands. How could she let a little sparrow like Yu Zhizhi subjugate her?!

Just as the other party was feeling smug, Xiaoguo quietly took a big step forward and caught Yu Zhizhi’s foot, causing her to almost trip. When Xiaoguo saw this, she immediately applied her acting skills and held on to Yu Zhizhi worriedly. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ve been too tired recently.”

Yu Zhizhi had a puzzled look on her face. Why did she suddenly trip? Did her fatigue lead to excess mental pressure?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips. She really had to get a good rest.

“You’re too tired. Go back and have a good rest.” Xiaoguo immediately tried to help her back to her accommodation.

“Oh, no need, no need!”

Yu Zhizhi panicked. After saying that, she suddenly realized that she was being too anxious. She was really worried that she would miss Brother Jiang if Xiaoguog sent her back. If that was the case, she would have dressed up for nothing. She couldn’t go back now!

Her big eyes flickered anxiously as she racked her brains. In the end, she locked her gaze on the contents of the bowl. Although she didn’t know what it was, she could only use it to distract Xiaoguo.

After calming down, she said considerately, “No, I’m fine. Let’s go quickly. The food in the bowl is going to melt.”

“…Alright then.” Xiaoguo pretended to think for a long time before agreeing reluctantly.

Although she said that, her actions were the exact opposite. The cold porridge in her hands was indeed melting. She must hurry!

She jogged to the pavilion and handed the desserts to the two kids without caring if Yu Zhizhi was following her. “Eat first. You can study later.”

“Thank you!!” Xiaoyi’s eyes lit up as he took the ice porridge. He scooped out a large spoonful of strawberry jam with a spoon and ate it with the cold crushed ice. Once it entered his stomach, it felt cold and wonderful.

Looking at his cute appearance, Xiaoguo’s heart was overflowing with maternal love. She was on the verge of screaming. The boy looked so cute!

When Xiaoyi was almost done eating, Zhuang Zhuang finally came back to his senses. He picked up the cold porridge on the table and said sweetly to Xiaoguo, “Thank you, Mother…”

Xiaoguo replied gently, “You’re welcome.”

“Mother, lower your head.”

Xiaoguo didn’t understand, but she lowered her head cooperatively.

At this moment, Zhuang Zhuang put down the cold porridge and took out a handkerchief from his arms. He carefully wiped her forehead and nose. “Mother, don’t rush yourself next time. You’re sweating from the heat. Zhuang Zhuang can’t bear to see you like this.”

“Alright, son. I will keep it in mind!”

Xiaoguo was basking in the tenderness of a little man. She was totally delighted.

At the side, Xiaoyi quietly put down the cold porridge and watched the two of them interact enviously. His small hand reached for his handkerchief and clutched it before putting it back. He hid his thoughts and continued eating the cold porridge happily in pretense.

Xiaoguo cooperated by looking up, lowering her head, and turning her head. Actually, the short distance she walked was not enough to make her sweat. It was just that the slight delay had caused her to stand under the sun for quite a while.

But then again, where was Yu Zhizhi?

Xiaoguo suddenly remembered that the woman was going to follow her here. Why hadn’t she reached after so long?

Just as she was looking around, Yu Zhizhi suddenly spoke behind her.

“Madam.”

Startled, Xiaoguo turned around and saw Yu Zhizhi, who was drenched in sweat.

“Why are you sweating so much?”

This time, Xiaoguo was truly impressed. She was actually sweating so much after walking such a short distance. Those who didn’t know better would think that she had run a marathon.

“Oh, it’s nothing…” A trace of guilt flashed across Yu Zhizhi’s eyes. “I’m just feeling a little hot.”

“Oh.”

Xiaoguo was not interested in her at all. She responded casually and turned her attention to the two children.

Seeing that she didn’t ask further, Yu Zhizhi heaved a sigh of relief. She secretly turned around and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief.

Along the way earlier, she saw a figure that looked especially like Brother Jiang. On impulse, she chased after him. After chasing for a long time, she realized that it was a case of mistaken identity, so she quickly ran back.

Perhaps she had a guilty conscience. When Xiaoguo asked her about it just now, she subconsciously evaded the question. Fortunately, Xiaoguo did not continue asking. That gave her a chance to catch her breath.

Yu Zhizhi was extremely anxious, but she couldn’t show it. She could only urge Xiaoguo to go back by dropping hints.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoguo was unmoved. She stayed until evening, when the sun was almost setting.

“Are we going back already?!”

Due to her excitement and the fact that she had not spoken for a long time, Yu Zhizhi’s voice was a little hoarse. However, it was not difficult to tell how happy she was.

“You haven’t left?”

Xiaoguo turned around and looked at her strangely, as if she had just noticed her. She had been so focused on the two kids that she had almost forgotten about Yu Zhizhi’s presence. In addition, the woman had not spoken a word, so she had forgotten that there was a fourth person with them.

“I thought you’d left.”

Yu Zhizhi’s smile was extremely stiff. However, in order to see Brother Jiang, she had to endure it!

Xiaoguo knew what she was thinking. Along the way, she pretended not to see the woman following behind her. When they were almost reaching her accommodation, she pretended to look back casually and said in surprise, “Zhizhi? Why aren’t you going back? It’s almost time for dinner.”

Yu Zhizhi smiled awkwardly and quickly came up with a bunch of excuses.

Xiaoguo looked at her and smiled evilly.
