The door opened, and several people rushed in.
"Hi, Wancheng, long time no see." Xu Xiashi's eyes were immediately fixed on Gu Wancheng as soon as she came in. There was no way she could resist; handsome guys like him were a rare sight, so she had to take a good look.
" Sister Xiashi, Xiao Jian, it's been a long time," Gu Wancheng said with a smile.
Jian Yue and Chu Yi'an locked eyes for a second before she looked away. A small pendant, a flower, peeked out from her pocket from her phone case.
Mi Tu and Zuozuo looked curiously at Suisui next to Gu Wancheng. Mi Tu tilted her head and asked, " Uncle Gu, who is this sister?"
Zuozuo Zuo immediately said, "Silly, it's brother, not sister."
Mi Tu looked blankly at her Suisui, tied-up hair.
Gu Wancheng smiled and coughed twice, "This is Suisui, a boy."
"I'm sorry," Mi Tu said obediently, apologizing to him.
"It's nothing," Suisui said.
Actually, Suisui has very delicate features, but it's not hard to tell if she's male or female. It's just that in a child's world, long hair equals a girl.
"This little darling is very pretty." Xu Xiashi finally got a good look at Suisui Sui.
Upon hearing Suisui, Gu Wancheng, as if she were blushing.
Gu Wancheng knew he wasn't actually shy. She squeezed his hand on his lap and said with a smile, "Call her Aunt Xiashi and Brother Jian."
Suisui the entire process Gu Wancheng said.
"Isn't Suisui going to play with them?" Zuozuo asked curiously when she noticed Chaochao Chao looking in their direction.
Suisui shook his head. Seeing this, Zuozuo thought he was scared, so she patted her chest and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
Suisui glanced at him, wondering which of his eyes saw that she was afraid.
After hearing Chaochao Zuozuo's words, Chao Chao looked at him in disbelief. After a moment, she angrily came over and pulled Suisui away.
Zuozuo followed, her face full of questions.
"I'll go check on the kitchen. You two can talk slowly," Zhao Chengyu said.
"Okay, just let me know if you need help." Xu Xiashi nodded.
Jian Yue sat down next to Chu Yi'an as soon as she came in, taking out her phone and occasionally fiddling with the small pendant.
Gu Wancheng noticed the pendant was a flower. He didn't recognize it. He remembered that Jian Yue's phone didn't have any pendants or even a phone case. How did these two things suddenly appear?
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, " Xiao Jian, your phone charm is really pretty. What kind of flower is it?"
Jian Yue Yi subconsciously grasped the pendant, then let go after a moment. Chu Yi'an said for him, "It's a valley iris."
Gu Wancheng raised an eyebrow. "It's quite nice. I wonder where you bought it." Although she was speaking to Jian Yue, her gaze kept glancing at Chu Yi'an.
Chu Yi'an: I think you're being a bit too open and aboveboard.
Jian Yue looked at Gu Wancheng, a slight smile playing on her lips, "What do you want to hear?"
Gu Wancheng's eyes darted around. "I just thought it looked nice, so I'm asking."
Chu Yi'an coughed twice. "You're curious? Okay, I'll tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wancheng stared intently at his... mouth, her eyes full of urging.
"I'm pursuing him." She then looked at Gu Wancheng, "Your curiosity satisfied?"
Gu Wancheng could barely suppress the smile playing on her lips, nodding repeatedly, "Satisfied, satisfied."
Jian Yue looked at Chu Yi'an and snorted, "I'm not easy to pursue."
Chu Yi'an turned her head and smiled at him, nodding. "I know, but you're willing."
Ahhh!
Gu Wancheng screamed inwardly, clenching her hands tightly—he'd really hit someone!
Xu Xiashi nudged his arm, and Gu Wancheng looked over in confusion.
" Wancheng, I know you're very excited, but please calm down first."
Gu Wancheng coughed twice, suppressing her laughter and pretending to be serious. However, she couldn't stay serious for more than a second before suddenly standing up.
The group was startled, Gu Wancheng quickly said, "I'll go see if Brother Zhao and the others need any help." She then turned around, a wide grin spreading across her face, completely unable to hide it.
Jian Yue:...
Chu Yi'an: "See, he really wants us to be together."
Instead of starting with "And then, what are you trying to say?", please use a Jian Yue approach.
"Have the irises withered?" Chu Yi'an suddenly changed the subject.
Jian Yue paused for a moment, remembering the beautifully wrapped bouquet of irises. He wouldn't treat other people's affections lightly, so he had taken good care of that bouquet.
"No, but it should be soon," Jian Yue replied.
"It can be made into a preserved flower. Is it worth keeping forever?" Chu Yi'an looked at him, even though Jian Yue her head down and didn't meet his gaze.
Jian Yue fiddled with the iris pendant without saying a word.
In the kitchen, Zhao Chengyu and Anna were taken aback when Gu Wancheng suddenly entered. Anna immediately reacted and said, " Chengcheng, why are you in? Is there no tea? Honey, go check."
Gu Wancheng waved her hand and said, "I came in to see if I need any help."
"How can we let a guest help us?" Zhao Chengyu wiped his hands clean, took a box of strawberries from the refrigerator, washed them, stuffed them into Gu Wancheng's hands, and pushed him out, saying, "Go out quickly, your sister-in-law and I are fine here."
Anna smiled and declined his help, saying, "It'll be ready soon, go eat strawberries with the children."
Finally, Gu Wancheng returned with a box of strawberries. Tongtong sniffed and looked up. "There are strawberries!"
The fruit that was previously placed on the table had long been shown off by the little ones.
Upon hearing her voice, Chaochao immediately stood up, "Where are the strawberries?"
"Here it is." Gu Wancheng placed the box in front of them, Chaochao immediately picked up a strawberry. The strawberry was very big, almost as big as half of Chaochao's hand.
" Suisui, you can have this." Chaochao handed the strawberry to Suisui, who was standing next to her.
Suisui took the strawberry and said, "Open your mouth." Chaochao subconsciously opened his mouth, and the next second, Sui Suisui the strawberry directly into his mouth.
Chaochao took out the strawberries, tilting her head in confusion. " Suisui, aren't you going to eat any?"
"I just ate." Suisui shook her head.
"Okay." After hearing this, Chaochao finished the strawberry in her hand and stopped eating.
Just then, the aroma of apples wafted from the kitchen, followed by Anna's light footsteps.
She and Zhao Chengyu each brought out a plate of apple pies, the aroma of which was very enticing.
They laid out everything on the table, including apple pie, juice, banana chocolate muffins, taro milk tea, and crème brûlée.
This table is enough to keep most kids in line; didn't you see these little rascals' eyes practically glowing red when they saw it?
The apple pie was cut into triangles, and one was placed on each of their plates. From the side, you could see the diced apples.
Chaochao tentatively poked it, her eyes lighting up. It wasn't very hot, and she immediately said to Suisui, "It's not hot, you can eat it."
Suisui, picked up his fork, speared it, and carefully took a bite.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the diced apples were baked until soft, and the sweet taste was just what I Suisui.
"How was it? Anna's apple pie, wasn't it delicious?" Zhao Chengyu said with a smile.
The little ones were especially enthusiastic, exclaiming in unison, "Delicious!"
Anna smiled happily; nothing makes you happier than having your work recognized.
