At his words, Gu Yue smiled slyly, the corners of her eyes curving slightly, as though a little starlight had fallen into them.
"Let me take a look. Maybe I can do something~"
Hu Fangyuan: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Hu Fangyuan's eyes lit up in a flash.
Hu Fangyuan: (๑✧ω✧๑)
The very next second, he put on a fawning expression and eagerly sidled up to her.
"Gu Yue~"
Even his voice took a sugary turn, sweet enough to cloy.

How could he fail to see how curious Gu Yue was about the things he had?
