Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius-Chapter 41 - Fragrance Refining

Gu Chengan didn’t look up; whatever Tang Yun clipped, he just kept shoving it into his mouth, head bowed.

The dining table fell silent once again, but this time the atmosphere grew tense.

Aside from Gu Zhiqi, who ate as if nothing was amiss, the other three harbored their own preoccupations.

**

After eating, Gu Zhiqi continued to fuss with her herbs.

She started at eight in the morning and continued until two in the afternoon without getting it right.

Initially, Tang Yun was worried and checked in on her from time to time in the backyard.

Latterly, seeing no issues, she simply let her be.

Gu Chengcheng, watching Gu Zhiqi’s dedication, thought it was like playing house and found it amusing, so he brought over a small stool and sat obediently to watch.

Gu Chengan suspected Gu Zhiqi was up to some mischief and dragged his lame leg to sit under the eaves of the backyard, keeping a close eye on her.

“Eldest Sister Qiqi, has the medicine been boiling for so long and still not ready?” Gu Chengcheng propped his chin with both hands, eagerly asking Gu Zhiqi.

This was already the umpteenth time he asked Gu Zhiqi the same question.

As always, Gu Zhiqi just perfunctorily replied, “Almost there.”

Then, Gu Chengcheng believed her once more.

Resting his chin, he sat and waited.

And that wait lasted another two hours.

Four o’clock in the afternoon, on the dot.

The pressure cooker on the stove suddenly began to shake violently and made a loud noise.

“Eldest Sister Qiqi, it’s dancing,” Gu Chengcheng pointed at the violently shaking pressure cooker with his tender little finger.

Gu Zhiqi looked somewhat lethargic upon seeing this but remained unruffled as she stood up.

She reached out to grab Gu Chengcheng by the collar, advancing towards the shelter of the eaves at a leisurely pace.

Gu Chengan had been sitting under the eaves for so long that he started to doze off.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Chengan opened his eyes and took a glance.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi carrying Gu Chengcheng over, he thought Gu Chengcheng had caused trouble and was being scolded by Gu Zhiqi, instantly ridding him of all drowsiness.

“Gu Zhiqi, let go of Cheng…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Gu Zhiqi set down Gu Chengcheng, then crouch down at a casual pace.

Immediately after, she raised her hand to cover Gu Chengcheng’s ears.

Gu Chengan: ?

“Boom—”

Before Gu Chengan could ask what was happening, a loud explosion rang by his ear, startling him so much that he nearly jumped out of his chair.

Gu Chengan turned his head suddenly towards the source of the noise, only to see that the pressure cooker had exploded, and there was a sizable hole blown in the ground.

Curling wisps of white smoke rose, leaving a mess all around.

Gu Chengan “…” ???

He was utterly dumbfounded.

Gu Chengcheng was also puzzled, looking at the large hole and then at Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi showed no particular reaction; she just calmly instructed Gu Chengcheng, “Stand here and don’t move.”

Then, she walked towards the large hole.

Gu Chengcheng moved towards Gu Chengan and tugged at the hem of Gu Chengan’s clothes.

He was a bit scared.
