Chapter 605 I Want to Eat Yours Too

The old man selling popsicles smiled and said, "Little girl, eating too many popsicles will upset your stomach, and an upset stomach is no fun. Just buy one or two to cool off."

Seeing such a well-behaved and adorable little girl, he couldn't help but think of his own granddaughter at home. Not wanting her to suffer from an upset stomach, he kindly reminded her.

Helian Jiao puffed out her cheeks and said, "I won't have an upset stomach!"

The little girl's voice was surprisingly strong and clear.

She had an upset stomach that time because it was her first time eating spicy hot pot, not because of five popsicles!

Gu Tingyun gently coaxed, "Sweetie, be good. We can only buy two. We have some at home, so we'll eat them when we get back."

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, he couldn't let his precious child try it.

"No! I want them all!" Helian Jiao insisted.

She's not that weak!

Gu Tingyun reluctantly conceded, "Buy three, no more than that."

This was his absolute limit!

Helian Jiao could tell that his tone was becoming serious, so she compromised and said, "Alright then."

Otherwise, the big bad dragon would lecture her a bunch of high-sounding principles, just like that annoying Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West.

She's so annoying with all her nagging!

"Grandpa, I'd like three egg rolls!"

She hasn't tried this new one yet, and usually the most expensive ones are the best!

"I'd like a hawthorn popsicle, please," Gu Tingyun said casually.

He prefers the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.

One is enough to cool him down; he never eats too much.

"Alright! That'll be 18 cents in total," the old man selling popsicles and soda replied cheerfully.

He opened the foam cover on the back of the bicycle, lifted the layers of cotton blankets, and took out three egg rolls and a hawthorn popsicle, handing them to the two of them.

Gu Tingyun took the money out of her schoolbag, counted it, and handed it to the old man. She gave the egg roll to Guaibao before taking her own red fruit popsicle.

Helian Jiao immediately tore open the packaging and took a big bite of the egg roll. Finding it delicious, she held it to Gu Tingyun's mouth and said happily, "Gu Tingyun, this is delicious, you should try it too."

Seeing that she remembered her when she found something delicious, Gu Tingyun smiled and took a bite without hesitation: "Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

“Then I want to eat yours too!” Helian Jiao’s eyes darted around as she demanded confidently.

So she ate both egg rolls and hawthorn popsicles!

Gu Tingyun opened the packaging and let her take the first bite.

Helian Jiao opened her big, rosy lips and took a huge bite, making her cheeks bulge out.

Then, beaming with delight, he ran up to the vendor selling candied hawthorns and mumbled, "I want to eat candied hawthorns."

"Boss, two skewers of candied hawthorn, please."

Gu Tingyun followed over, taking money out of her bag to pay as she spoke: "Sweetie, have one skewer, and get one for Siyu too."

Since he had popsicles at home, he chose to bring Gu Siyu a candied hawthorn instead.

After buying the candied hawthorns, he took Helian Jiao's hand and walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and sat together in the back seat.

Helian Jiao focused intently on eating the egg rolls in her hand, finishing all three in one go. She then devoured the candied hawthorns and finally licked her lips with satisfaction.

Then the topic of the handsome older man came up: "Gu Tingyun, do you remember the older man we met on the train? I saw him in the exam hall today; he was the proctor."

Gu Tingyun collected the trash she had finished eating, intending to throw it away after getting off the bus. Upon hearing this, he simply gave a nonchalant "hmm".
