Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 331 Like a Lollipop
It was Gu Jia's first time to prepare a meal as the head chef, and it was very successful under Zhou Jing's guidance. This success made Wu Suqin feel that Gu Jia's cooking skills were really good, and Wu Suqin's impression of Gu Jia increased.

"Jiajia is such a great cook. No wonder Zhou Jing could cook not long after graduating from university. Did he learn from Jiajia?"

Wu Suqin even thought that Gu Jia taught Zhou Jing how to cook.

Gu Jia looked embarrassed and was too ashamed to admit that she had only learned to cook this year.

"A great teacher makes a great disciple."

Zhou Jing said calmly.

Gu Jia reached out and pinched the boy.

After dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took their parents shopping. Gu Jia did not drink and drive.

When they reached Second Street, Gu Jia took Wu Suqin's arm and walked around in front, while Zhou Jing and Zhou Guozhong talked slowly in the back.

Walking along Second Street, they arrived at the China World Trade Center. Gu Jia waited for Zhou Jing and said she wanted to buy clothes for her parents. Zhou Jing naturally had no objection and bought a set of clothes for each of them, including shoes.

After coming out of the mall, Zhou Jing walked to Century Plaza and wandered around the plaza for a while before going to pick up the car.

After shopping, Zhou Jing sent his parents to his residence and settled them down, then he and Gu Jia went to Gu Jia's residence.

"are you tired?"

In the car, Zhou Jing touched Gu Jia's leg and asked.

"Kind of."

Gu Jia was indeed tired today. She was busy in the kitchen all afternoon and then walked around the street for two or three hours in the evening.

"I forgot one important thing. When will the wedding photo shoot be held?"

Zhou Jing neglected the important matter of taking wedding photos. It would be fine if he didn't hold the wedding, but he had to take the wedding photos.

Otherwise it would be too perfunctory.

“Let’s shoot next year when the weather is warmer!”

When Gu Jia saw the bridal shop while shopping in the evening, she also thought of it.

"How about we go to Sanya to shoot it then?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said.

"Okay, I haven't been to Sanya yet."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

Zhou Jing kept the wedding photos in mind and decided to make time to get them taken no matter how busy he was next year.

After returning to Gu Jia's residence, Zhou Jing rested for a while and went to the study to write a novel.

Gu Jia called her mother to discuss how to prepare lunch tomorrow. The parents of both parties can be said to be in-laws. It was the first time the in-laws met, and Gu's mother took it very seriously as it concerned her daughter's major life event and no problems could be allowed.

Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin at Zhou Jing's residence have also realized this problem.

The meeting was more formal than expected.

Gu Jia made a cup of black tea and brought it to the study and placed it on the table. The boy looked very handsome when he tried hard, but it also made her feel distressed.

After writing the novel for two hours, Zhou Jing turned off the computer at almost ten o'clock.

Gu Jia was surfing the Internet in the bedroom and looked up and said, "Take a break!"

“Are you still scared after watching a horror movie?”

Zhou Jing walked behind the chair, put his hands on Gu Jia's shoulders and said.

"Being alone is scary."

When Gu Jia turned off the lights when she was alone at night, her mind would go out of control, with scenes from horror movies playing like slides. She even had to put a urinal in the bedroom at night.

"Do you still want to see it?"

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's face and said.

Gu Jia looked at the time, feeling scared but unable to resist the urge to watch, "Let's watch after we finish washing."

They each changed into pajamas and went to wash up together. Zhou Jing washed his face and brushed his teeth, then looked at Gu Jia's cosmetics and said, "You have less and less cosmetics."

In the past, Gu Jia had a lot of skin care products in large and small bottles, but now there are only facial cleansers and lotions.

"I seldom use skin care products during this period. Do you think my skin is worse than before?"

During this period, Gu Jia slowly discovered that her skin became better without using skin care products. Not only her face, but the skin all over her body became better. Perhaps this is the nourishment of love!

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's face and said, "I can't tell, your skin has always been so good."

"Really? Haven't you noticed my bare face before?" Gu Jia looked at the boy and asked with a smile.

Gu Jia herself noticed it. The most obvious change was that the acne marks on her face were no longer visible.

“It seems to be better than before.”

Of course Zhou Jing noticed it, but he wouldn't say it.

"It seems that you are a little nearsighted." Gu Jia smiled even more brightly and continued, "It's good for people to be a little nearsighted. You can't see the slightest flaws on the other person's face, and the other person will be more beautiful in your eyes."

"That makes sense. No wonder people with myopia tend to have poorer vision."

Although Zhou Jing is not nearsighted, he agrees with Gu Jia's point of view.

In Zhou Jing's eyes, there are very few beauties who can catch his eye, probably because his eyesight is too good.

After washing her face, Gu Jia moved her face closer for Zhou Jing to see.

Zhou Jing stepped back, saying that one shouldn't look too closely at a girl's face.

"You are quite conscious."

Gu Jia gently patted the boy's cheek, leaned forward slightly, and looked at her face in the mirror. She had just washed her face without applying anything, and there were almost no flaws on her face without makeup. Her skin was indeed much better.

It would be great if this state could be maintained for a few more years. Gu Jia is worried that she will age too quickly after having a baby. It's really worrying.

Zhou Jing took a foot basin, filled it with half hot water, and took it to the living room to wash his feet, and Gu Jia washed with him.

"Are the Master's feet white?"

Gu Jia took off her socks, tested the water temperature with her fingers, and placed her pair of white, slender feet on Zhou Jing's feet and stepped lightly.

"Mmm, it smells good, like a lollipop in stockings."

Zhou Jing answered the question irrelevantly. He held Gu Jia's foot, pinched her chubby little finger and said.

Gu Jia pursed her lips and tickled the boy's instep with her toes.

After washing his feet, Zhou Jing went back to the bedroom to watch a movie. He found a domestic horror film, a thriller and suspense film similar to The Werewolf in the Pen Fairy. It was also the first time Zhou Jing had watched the film.

Halfway through the film, Zhou Jing guessed that it was a Werewolf type movie. He speculated as he watched that the unnatural phenomena in the film were nothing more than hallucinations caused by taking psychedelic drugs. In this film, Zhou Jing guessed that the mushrooms eaten had a hallucinogenic effect, so the werewolf was obvious, and he must be the one picking the mushrooms.

"I guess this is the murderer."

Zhou Jing pointed at the person who seemed the most righteous and rational in the film and said.

"You mean ghosts?"

Gu Jia said without knowing why.

"I guess not."

Zhou Jing smiled.

"Then what happened to the woman who saw a figure outside the window just now?"

Gu Jia still found it hard to understand.

"You'll know after you watch it. You can probably guess it after watching a lot of domestic horror movies."

Zhou Jing didn't want to explain too much. It would be meaningless if he completely exposed Gu Jia.

Gu Jia didn't ask any more questions. As the film progressed, it was consistent with what Zhou Jing had guessed: everything was designed by the boy who picked mushrooms.

"How did you guess so clearly?"

Gu Jia suspected that the boy had seen it before.

"This kind of horror film is mostly artificial, with drugs causing hallucinations, or lipsticks given to girls with hallucinogenic drugs added. There are many mushrooms that can cause hallucinations. If you guess that it is mushrooms that cause hallucinations, you will naturally know the murderer."

"Ok."

"When I was a kid in my grandfather's hometown, around 11 or 12 years old, I was playing in the mountains with a boy who was one year older than me. After we climbed through a dense forest, the boy said he felt dizzy, then screamed and pointed ahead, saying there was a ghost. He backed away while shouting "Don't get close." I was scared in broad daylight and broke into a cold sweat. After I pinched him awake, he was fine. He must have inhaled some plant powder that can cause hallucinations."

That incident left a deep psychological trauma on Zhou Jing. In addition, three people died in car accidents in his grandfather's village within half a year. Zhou Jing really believed that there were dirty people in that village and persuaded his grandparents to move to the city.

"I always thought hallucinations were something abstract. You're strong inside, but I'd probably be scared to death if it were me."

Gu Jia felt terrified when she thought about it from Zhou Jing's perspective. If she were in Zhou Jing's shoes, she would either be scared to death or faint.

"So believe in science. What you see may not be true. It may be an illusion."

Zhou Jing said while hugging Gu Jia.

Gu Jia learned something new and suddenly felt that horror movies were not that scary.
