Xia Yangyang and Shao Tiantian were sitting together.
Now that the caras weren’t rolling, Shao Tiantian’s enthusiasm for little Xingxing had greatly diminished.
She was like a completely different person compared to how she had been at the marketplace earlier.
Xia Yangyang felt that letting Shao Tiantian be an intern guest for such an adorable child like Xingxing was completely inappropriate.
After finishing her al, Xia Yangyang packed so food to bring back to Gu Qichen.
Shao Tiantian happened to finish eating as well and was ready to leave.
But Xia Yangyang noticed that the strawberry candy Xingxing bought for her earlier had been carelessly discarded on the table.
When Shao Tiantian was about to leave, Xia Yangyang called her na and reminded her, "You forgot to take the gift Xingxing gave you."
At that ti, Xingxing had just left with Si Yushu a mont earlier.
Shao Tiantian glanced at the box of strawberry candy on the table and, with a hint of disdain at the corners of her mouth, said, "I’m on a diet. I gave up sugar a long ti ago. Sothing so sweet—I definitely can’t eat it."
Xia Yangyang frowned slightly. "But it’s a token of kindness from the child. Whether you eat it or not, you should still take it, shouldn’t you?"
Shao Tiantian crossed her arms and stepped closer to Xia Yangyang. "If you like it, go ahead and take it. I don’t want this kind of junk food. Things bought from a small stall? Who knows if they’re even safe or certified—I wouldn’t dare eat them."
After speaking, Shao Tiantian turned away arrogantly.
Not even sparing the strawberry candy box a glance as she left.
Xia Yangyang felt it was such a waste.
Little Xingxing had even thoughtfully gone out of her way to buy a gift for her.
After Shao Tiantian left, Xia Yangyang picked up the strawberry candy.
Soon, Xia Yangyang returned to Room 4.
Xia Ye was already lying in bed, fast asleep.
Gu Qichen had just finished showering and stepped out.
Xia Yangyang placed the food container on the table.
Gu Qichen erged from the bathroom, his hair still damp.
He looked quite different from his usual impeccably grood appearance when in the public eye.
His hair lay ssily, flopping gently on his head.
In an instant, he seed much younger.
The cold, aloof aura he usually carried had faded, replaced by a touch of everyday humanness.
Xia Yangyang quickly averted her gaze.
Lately, she couldn’t seem to control her growing crush on Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang secretly chastised herself.
Hurriedly, she brought up a topic. "I brought back so food. Not sure if it’s to your taste."
Gu Qichen seed a bit forlorn.
At this point, Xia Yangyang didn’t even rember what he liked to eat.
"Have you eaten already?"
"I’ve already eaten."
"Would you like to join for a bit more?"
Initially, Xia Yangyang wanted to refuse. Though she hadn’t had much appetite earlier and hadn’t eaten much,
she truly didn’t enjoy the feeling of being alone with Gu Qichen.
Especially those warm, cozy monts of sharing a al together.
"Alright."
But to her surprise, the words of agreent had already left her mouth.
After speaking, she felt a pang of regret.
It seed she was no longer able to refuse him whatsoever.
Especially when his icy deanor lted, and he spoke to her in such a casual tone.
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s expression turn from frustration to self-reproach, Gu Qichen curved his lips slightly.
The two of them sat down together.
Gu Qichen spotted the strawberry candy among the items Xia Yangyang had brought back—
the gift Xingxing had given Shao Tiantian earlier.
Gu Qichen imdiately pieced together what had happened. "Shao Tiantian obviously didn’t take this seriously, did she?"
As soon as this topic ca up, Xia Yangyang still felt indignant.
