Adjusting her mindset, Gu Tiantian used her phone screen as a mirror to check her reflection, ensuring she looked presentable before putting the phone down and heading out.
Not long after she stepped out, Aunt Huang arrived.
"Tian Tian, you’re finally awake. You must be hungry, co on, co on. Aunt Huang made dumplings for you with cabbage and pork filling. They’re still hot."
Seeing Aunt Huang’s face full of loving kindness, Gu Tiantian’s eyes welled up again.
Her heart also felt a twinge of sourness.
Fortunately, the dim light should prevent Aunt Huang from noticing her emotions.
"Aunt Huang, thank you so much!"
If not for Aunt Huang and Uncle, she wouldn’t know where she would be staying tonight.
Although she had inquired about inns, she might not dare to stay there. Otherwise, it was either huddling near the town’s station for the night or finding an internet café to pass the ti.
Despite all the discomfort, it was bearable compared to giving up her personal freedom.
"You silly girl, it’s just so food. What’s there to thank for? Isn’t there a saying, ’At ho, rely on parents; outside, rely on friends’?"
"Even though it’s Aunt Huang’s first ti eting you today, Aunt Huang really likes you. Such a pretty girl, only a pity our Qingbo is too young. If he were four or five years older, I’d definitely have him marry you!"
Gu Tiantian: "..."
"What are you saying... talking nonsense to a young girl like that!"
The driver uncle ca out of the bathroom, carrying a wooden bucket, and was instantly displeased hearing his wife’s words.
He mainly felt that the girl was young, and his wife’s words might embarrass her.
Aunt Huang was taken aback, giving the driver uncle a look.
"You’re really sothing. I’m just chatting with Tian Tian, why are you interrupting? If you’re done, hurry and bring in those two buckets of water at the door. That’s spring water, incredibly sweet, much better than tap water!"
"I know, I know, I’m about to do that."
The driver uncle finished speaking and looked at Gu Tiantian.
"Well... Gu... Tiantian, please don’t take your aunt’s words too seriously. Just let them go in one ear and out the other."
"Hurry inside with your aunt to eat the dumplings while they’re still warm!"
After scratching his head, the driver uncle, clearly unsure how to communicate with the young girl, turned around and headed toward the gate.
Gu Tiantian softly acknowledged and smiled at Aunt Huang.
"Aunt Huang, arranged marriages are really out of fashion now. I don’t mind the age difference, but I’m afraid your son might already have soone in his heart and won’t agree!"
Aunt Huang was montarily stunned, staring at Gu Tiantian with wide eyes.
Seeing Aunt Huang’s shocked expression, Gu Tiantian smiled slightly, her eyes bending into crescents, her pair of bright black eyes shining ever more brightly in the nightti, so much so that Aunt Huang froze again.
By the ti Aunt Huang regained her senses, Gu Tiantian had already gone inside.
"This little girl is really... interesting!"
While eating dumplings, Gu Tiantian chatted with Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang had already eaten and didn’t feel the least bit hungry.
Gu Tiantian didn’t hold back after asking if it was okay, and began to eat heartily.
Aunt Huang watched and couldn’t help but sigh again inwardly.
Poor child, arguing with her parents, look how hungry she is...
But as she chatted on and off with Gu Tiantian, Aunt Huang found that, despite her petite appearance, Gu Tiantian was very open-minded and carefree.
This made Aunt Huang like Gu Tiantian even more.
She even started to consider turning her previous joke about her son Qingbo into reality.
