Gu Shi was very satisfied with the results of the filming. He could already imagine the surprised expression on Chu Ya's face when he finished editing and sent it to her.

Chu Ya walked down the study and came to Gu Shi with a smile.

Gu Shi asked her gently, "Are you tired?" If Chu Ya was tired, he would ask someone to drive over to pick them up.

Chu Ya was still excited and shook her head without hesitation: "Not tired."

Gu Shi looked at his watch. It was time for lunch. "Let's go eat."

Eat? Chu Ya was stunned for a moment. Oh, yes, we still have to eat.

She was used to seeing modern skyscrapers, and when she saw such quaint ancient buildings, she felt like she was walking into a scenic spot.

She unconsciously felt a sense of disconnection in her heart. She couldn't imagine that there were people living here, and naturally she couldn't imagine that they would eat here.

Chu Ya followed Gu Shi to Shiyu Pavilion, looking around curiously. Where could they cook in such a big garden?

When Chu Ya thought about someone cooking here, she suddenly felt that the beautiful and ancient building also added a touch of homely air.

Chu Ya was thinking wildly, wondering whether she would meet Gu Shi’s family during dinner later.

She thought of her guess in the morning and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

His family members might not give her a good look during the meal, which would make her give up and stay away from Gu Shi consciously.

Chu Ya lowered her head. If she was really treated like this, she would just be thick-skinned and bear it.

What will happen next? Will she never see Gu Shi again?

Seeing that she looked a little nervous, Gu Shi told her in advance: "My father's sister may come over when we eat later. Her last name is Chen, so you can just call her Miss Chen."

Chu Ya nodded: "Remember."

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a homely meal."

Chu Ya exhaled: "Okay."

After all, it was her first time visiting Gu Shi's house, so she had to be careful about her words and actions and leave a good impression on their family.

Gu Shi and she walked to the main hall of Shiyu Pavilion.

Because Gu Shi had said in advance that he would come back for lunch, lunch was already served when they walked into the main hall.

Three young girls came out of the main hall carrying wooden trays.

Chu Ya took a look and felt confused. They all looked quite young. Which one was the Miss Chen that Gu Shi mentioned?

A fair, gentle, and elegant woman walked out of the main hall and greeted them with a smile: "Xiao Shi, you are back."

Gu Shi glanced at Chu Ya and said, "Miss Chen, this is the Bo Chu Ya I told you about."

Chu Ya quickly said, "Hello, Miss Chen."

Chen Yuanzhi glanced at her and said with a smile: "The little girl is pretty and has a nice name."

Chuya was instantly happy.

She looked at Chen Yuanzhi twice more and felt that she was so young, probably only in her thirties. However, Gu Shi said that Chen Yuanzhi was of the same generation as his father, so she should be in her forties.

Seeing her standing there, still a little reserved, Chen Yuanzhi smiled and pointed at a chair: "Come and eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."

Chu Ya nodded and sat down on the chair as Chen Yuanzhi said.

Only then did she realize that there were two tables on the table with various kinds of food on them, but there were only two servings.

Chu Ya was stunned: "Auntie, don't you want to eat?"

Chen Yuanzhi sat down at the table and felt like her friend, without any airs of an elder.

Chen Yuanzhi smiled and said, "I've already eaten at Beiyuan, and Gu Shi hasn't been back for a long time, so I came over to greet you."

"Is that so?" Chu Ya looked at the food in front of her and exclaimed, "It's so rich. It looks delicious."

She praised the food but didn't pick up her chopsticks.

Chu Ya thought, after all, this was Gu Shi's house, and as a guest she should not start eating first. It would be better to wait for Gu Shi to come back and eat together.

Where did Gu Shi go? She looked outside.

Chen Yuanzhi saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "You eat first, no need to wait for him, the old man asked him to call back."

Chuya found it a bit amusing. Is this the trouble of living in a house that is too big? If the house is not big, people can hear her by just shouting twice, but if the house is too big, she still needs to make phone calls to communicate.

Gu Shi stood outside the main hall: "Uncle Chen, are you looking for me?"

Chen Qian: "You've been quite busy this morning. You didn't even reply to the message the old man sent you."

Gu Shi then took out his cell phone to check the messages. He had indeed been very busy this morning, helping Chu Ya take photos and videos.

He called directly and said, "Grandpa, yes, we have finished the filming at the Book Pavilion. You can bring your friends over this afternoon."

Uncle Chen wanted to laugh. In the morning, the old man was receiving guests. He wanted to take the guests to the library to chat and drink tea, but Gu Shi stopped him from going, wanting Chu Ya to finish the photo shoot first.

What else can the old man do? He can only let the young man take the photo first.

Gu Shi held up his phone and said, "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied. The photo turned out really well. Why didn't I think that building was so beautiful before? Today, it's so good."

Then I thought: No, it’s because the person is good-looking that makes the surrounding scenery more attractive.

-

Chu Ya looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her, most of which she had never eaten before, and felt like she had no idea where to start.

This is too much preparation.

Chen Yuanzhi looked at her and took the initiative to introduce it to Chuya. She opened the lotus leaf on the steamer, revealing the tender chicken. She smiled and said, "This is lotus leaf chicken. It uses pine nut chicken raised in the back mountain. The meat is tender. Do you want to try it?"

Chu Ya picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. In addition to the fragrance of lotus leaves, it also had a sweet and sour taste, as it was marinated with some kind of sauce.

With its unique taste, Chuya couldn't help but take another bite.

Chen Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Gu Shi said you like sweet and sour food, so I improved the recipe a bit, and you really like it."

Chu Ya was stunned. It turned out that it was specially made for her. It was so thoughtful. "Thank you, ma'am. It's really delicious."

If she likes something, she will keep eating it. She will leave the other dishes on the table alone and only eat the lotus leaf chicken.

How can this little girl be so cute?

Chen Yuanzhi smiled and said, "If you like them, I can pack two for you to take home."

Really? Chu Ya looked at Chen Yuanzhi, a sincere smile flashing in her eyes.

Chu Ya was very happy in her heart, and responded with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face: "Thank you, Miss Chen."

Chen Yuanzhi then introduced it to her: "This is steamed sea bass."

She looked at Chuya eagerly, wanting her to have a taste.

Chu Ya also felt that she couldn’t just eat one dish, after all, the other party had prepared so much with great care.

She picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up immediately: "It's delicious. The meat is tender and the taste is smooth. It's so delicious."
