Gu Wancheng tapped Bo Yi's arm.
"What's wrong?" Bo Yizhou asked in a low voice.
Gu Wancheng paused for a moment, then said, "We've forgotten about Chaochao."
Then, Gu Wan didn't hear any sound from behind. After a while, the horse under her turned around and ran back in the direction it had come from.
As Chaochao and the others gradually came into focus, Gu Wancheng looked down and met Chaochao's fiery eyes.
The horse stopped beside Chaochao, and the next second they heard Chaochao's voice, "So you guys finally decided to come back!"
Her voice was so loud that Gu Wancheng felt incredibly guilty. "I'm sorry, Daddy was wrong. Can you forgive me, baby?"
No, are you happy now?
"Cough cough cough." Gu Wancheng's lips twitched, almost ruining her composure, but thankfully she didn't burst out laughing.
"Come on, let your father take you to play." Gu Wancheng quickly changed the subject.
Chaochao raised her head and said loudly, "Hmph, why wasn't it you who took me?"
"Because I'm afraid we won't be able to come back later." Gu Wancheng didn't say this aloud as they went to the hospital together.
Chaochao looked at him with a mischievous grin, Gu Wancheng looked back at him with sincere eyes.
"Alright." In the end, Chaochao's desire to ride a horse made her decide not to break off the friendship for the time being.
After Gu Wancheng dismounted, she lifted Chaochao onto the horse. As soon as Chaochao sat down with her feet off the ground, Chaochao eyes lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Run, run!"
Bo Yizhou gave a soft "hmm," then pulled the reins. With a strong push, Chaochao leaned back instinctively, excitedly wiggled her legs, opened her mouth to let the wind in, and made "ah ah" sounds.
Gu Wancheng crossed her arms and looked at the father and son with a smile. Chaochao's excited cries echoed across the grassland, changing from a clear, babyish voice to a rough, babyish voice.
Bo Yizhou said, "Shut your mouth, don't you want to lose your voice?"
After hearing this, Chaochao shut her mouth, but her face was full of dissatisfaction.
After Bo Yizhou ran two laps with him, they returned to the starting point. Gu Wancheng was about to pick him up when Chaochao pulled his hand back. Gu Wancheng was taken aback. "Aren't you going to get down?"
Chaochao shook her head, "No, I want to ride a horse."
Gu Wancheng and Bo Yizhou exchanged a glance, and finally Gu Wancheng gestured for Bo Yizhou to take him out to play some more.
After Chaochao was finally satisfied, Gu Wancheng picked her up, and she fell to the ground with a thud as soon as she landed.
Gu Wancheng chuckled, then quickly covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter.
Squatting on the ground, looking at the pool of Chaochao in front of him, his exposed ears were so red they were practically dripping blood.
Gu Wancheng reached out and gently pinched his ear; it was very hot. "Aren't you getting up? Hmm?"
Chaochao didn't move for a while, Gu Wancheng gestured to Bo Yizhou to pick him up. Then, Chaochao was lifted off the ground by Bo Yizhou like a soulless doll.
To protect Chaochao's self-esteem, Bo Yizhou even covered his face to prevent the camera from capturing it.
Gu Wancheng also stood up and blocked the camera, "Okay, we've blocked it, no one will see."
Chaochao stirred her head, which was buried in Bo Yizhou's arms, and cautiously tilted her head slightly to look at him. "Really?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Chaochao then revealed her face, her cheeks still flushed, and whispered, "Can we go back to sleep? I'm sleepy."
As he spoke, he deliberately yawned to make his point more convincing.
Gu Wancheng glanced at the time and decided it was about time to go back, so she nodded.
Then she said to Tubu, "Brother Tubu, I'm sorry, Chaochao is sleepy, we'll go back to sleep first."
Tubu immediately said, "It's alright, the child can go back if he's sleepy. Be sure to come to the bonfire party tonight, since you'll be leaving soon."
Gu Wancheng nodded quickly, "Of course we won't miss it."
Just as they were about to leave, Xu Xiashi happened to see them and said, "Hey, Wancheng, aren't you guys playing anymore?"
" Chaochao is sleepy, let's go back first."
"Oh, okay? Then let's go back together."
" Sister Xiashi, aren't you guys going to continue playing?"
Xu Xiashi shook her head. "No, the novelty has worn off."
Finally, they went back together, with Xu Yuan also Xu Yuan with them.
As soon as she got into bed, Chaochao, who had only been talking about it, was immediately overcome with sleepiness and became drowsy.
Gu Wancheng nudged him, " Chaochao, are you sleepy?"
"Um."
Gu Wancheng pulled him up forcefully, "Get up, wash your feet before you go to sleep."
Chaochao was forced to sit up in bed, half-closing his eyes as he reached out to take off his socks; he had already kicked off his shoes.
After washing and drying my feet in a daze, I lay back and fell asleep immediately.
Gu Wancheng tucked him into the blanket and even pinched his cheek.
What do you plan to do when you get back?
Bo Yizhou's sudden remark startled Gu Wancheng.
He frowned. "Hmm... I'll go back, eat my fill, sleep, and then eat again. I don't have any dreams."
"Are you drawing?"
Gu Wancheng paused for a moment. For him, painting was a way of life, not a dream, though he might like it a little.
"It's alright," he finally gave an ambiguous answer.
Bo Yizhou nodded, "You like to eat it."
"Yes, I want to travel around the world and eat my way through all the world's cuisines."
The next sentence is the key point.
Gu Wancheng gave an awkward smile. Traveling around the world was a lie; the real purpose was to eat her way around the world.
I'll take you there then.
Gu Wancheng turned her head in shock, and Bo Yizhou laughed, "It's okay, the company can let Dad temporarily take over, he's pretty free anyway."
Gu Wancheng was even more shocked. "Does your dad know what you're thinking?"
Bo Yizhou gestured for him to be quiet; they would see.
Gu Wancheng nodded, a little worried.
Bo Yizhou gave him a reassuring look, assuring him that he would handle the company's affairs well and things wouldn't fall apart.
Gu Wancheng suddenly realized that he had planned this all along. While feeling expectant, she also felt sorry for her clueless father.
"Go to sleep." Bo Yizhou patted his shoulder.
Gu Wancheng had only closed her eyes for a short while when she was woken up by Chaochao next to her.
He opened his eyes, staring blankly at the patterns above his head. The next second, a hand slapped his face. Gu Wancheng turned his head to look, and Chaochao patted his chest guiltily.
"I didn't mean to."
Suppressing her rising irritation, Gu Wancheng asked, "Why did you only sleep this little today?"
Chaochao lay on the bed, "Hmm... I can't sleep."
Gu Wancheng turned over, not wanting to talk anymore. "If you can't sleep, go out and play."
Chaochao leaned her face close to his and looked at him for a moment, then turned around and got out of bed, accidentally stepping on his foot in the process.
Gu Wancheng lay exhausted on the bed when a small white ghost emerged from her mouth.
After getting dressed and put on her shoes, Chaochao excitedly ran out.
After a while, Bo Yizhou walked in from the door and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Where did you go?" Gu Wancheng asked.
He was left alone there and almost got trampled to death.
"I went outside to prepare lunch. Didn't you not eat anything for lunch? Aren't you hungry?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gurgling sound came from under the covers.
The room fell silent for a moment, then Gu Wancheng's voice rang out, "I'm hungry."
Okay, get up and eat.
"Um..."
Bo Yizhou got up and left. After he left, Gu Wancheng got out of bed, her face still slightly flushed with shame. The blush on her face only began to fade after she got dressed.
"Hi, I'm out." As soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into Xu Xiashi. Seeing him, Xiashi smiled and nodded.
Gu Wancheng returned her a smile.
Xu Xiashi quickly said, "Let's go eat."
Gu Wancheng and she walked side by side to the dining table, where Chaochao and the others were already sitting, eagerly waiting.
Chaochao's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she patted the seat next to him, "Dad, come here quickly."
Gu Wancheng walked over and sat down.
After finishing their meal, a few hours later, the group set off for the bonfire party.
Upon arriving there, I saw some people busy at work.
Among them was Zhuoma. Upon seeing them, Zhuoma smiled and waved, "You've come! Come and sit down."
Zhao Chengyu stepped forward first. "Um, is there anything we can help you with?"
Zhuoma waved her hand, "No need, everything's almost ready, please sit down."
As she spoke, Zhuoma glanced around and then brought over a few stools.
Gu Wancheng and the others quickly took the stools from her hands.
"Thanks."
"No need, no need, you can take them yourselves."
Standing still, Zhuoma glanced around and smiled, "I'll go get a pot of milk tea."
Gu Wancheng stopped her, "No, please sit down. We can do it ourselves if needed."
Zhuoma pressed him down onto the stool. "No, you're guests."
Gu Wancheng looked completely bewildered, then incredulously reached out and looked at her hand twice.
What's this called?!
[I knew she was something special the moment I saw her; seeing how relaxed she was, I knew I was right.]
[Haha, Chengcheng is totally confused and starting to doubt herself.]
After a while, Zhuoma came over with a pot of milk tea and several disposable cups. "The milk tea is here."
Just as he was about to put it on the table next to him and start eating, Xu Xiashi appeared from the side, smiling and saying, " Zhuoma, don't bother, we can do it ourselves."
Zhuoma shook her head at her, "It's alright."
Xu Xiashi held her hand, pretending to be very sad, "You must let us do it ourselves, otherwise we'll be heartbroken."
Zhuoma paused for a moment, then put down her cup. Gu Wancheng moved the milk tea and cup to the side.
Gu Wancheng poured a cup for Zhuoma and then poured several more cups, placing them on the table. Because Chaochao didn't really like salty milk tea, Gu Wancheng didn't pour him much.
Chaochao took a sip, her face instantly scrunched up, and she stuck out her tongue. "It's salty again."
Gu Wancheng said softly, "Hmm, if you don't like it, drink less."
Xu Xiashi noticed that Zhuoma's other two brothers weren't there, so she asked curiously, "Hey, Zhuoma, where are your two younger brothers?"
"Oh, they're doing their homework at home. I've already finished mine, so I came early."
Xu Xiashi suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten they were still children in school.
Gu Wancheng asked, "When does the bonfire party start?"
Zhuoma glanced at her watch and said, "It'll be soon."
After waiting for a while, the sun completely set, and someone nearby lit a bonfire, which burst into flames.
Shining in Gu Wancheng's eyes, Bo Yizhou suddenly raised his hand and gently turned his head. Under his questioning gaze, he pressed down and gently pressed his lips to Gu Wancheng's for a moment before turning his head back.
Gu Wancheng's pupils dilated as she looked at the campfire in front of her and smiled slightly.
The group had already run to the campfire. Seeing Gu Wancheng sitting still, they waved to him, " Wancheng, come and play!"
Gu Wancheng got up and pulled Bo Yizhou over, "Come on, let's go play."
They held hands and started circling around the campfire, filling the air with laughter and joy.
Someone started singing, and in the end, everyone sang along.
On the grassland at night, only the campfire illuminated the scene. Gu Wancheng looked at everyone's genuine happiness and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
[I'm starting to feel envious again. I'm so lazy. I have all the time, but I just don't want to move. By the time I wake up, half the time has already passed. crying emoji]
[You're lazy, but I really don't have time. It's so upsetting.]
[I suggest you find a class to work in and get some reformed.]
Is it useful?
[Perhaps, tomorrow when I go to work, I won't need to overthink things; I just need to focus on going to work tomorrow.]
[Forget it then. I'd rather stay home and live a life of pleasure. I have money anyway, why should I go out and suffer and be bullied?]
Chaochao's face was flushed, and her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky. "Daddy, let's come again next time, okay? Let's bring Suisui along."
Gu Wancheng pinched his cheek, pressed her forehead against his, and whispered, "Okay."
Tubu walked over at this moment, carrying three small glasses. " Mr. Gu, let me toast you."
Gu Wancheng smiled and took the cups, placing one of them in Bo Yizhou's hand.
The three clinked glasses, Gu Wancheng finished her drink in one gulp; it wasn't a very strong drink.
Tubu patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and went to toast the others.
Finally, the group didn't prepare to go home until 11:30. During this time, Chen Liqing disappeared and didn't show up all night, staying by the assistant director's side the whole time.
When Gu Wancheng got home, she was already collapsed on the bed, drunk and feeling dizzy.
After letting Chaochao take a bath, Bo Yizhou walked to the bedside and picked up Gu Wancheng.
Gu Wancheng squinted and asked very slowly, "What are you doing?"
Bo Yizhou looked down at him and said, "Go take a shower."
These three words instantly brought Gu Wancheng to his senses. He struggled to get off the ground, like a stubborn fish.
Bo Yizhou was afraid he would fall, so he immediately put him down.
Gu Wancheng quickly replied, "I can wash myself."
Bo Yizhou frowned as he watched him stagger, "Are you sure?"
Gu Wancheng nodded vigorously, almost tripping over herself. "Absolutely certain."
Bo Yizhou frowned. "No, I can't rest easy."
Gu Wancheng thought for a moment, "Then you can wait at the door."
"Good."
Because of the alcohol, Gu Wancheng slept exceptionally well that night.
Time flew by and it was the last day. Gu Wancheng got up early and packed her luggage with Bo Yizhou.
After finishing their meal, Chen Liqing said a few routine words, Gu Wancheng and the others said goodbye to the camera before getting into the car to return home.
