Chapter 146 The Caged Bird



There were still a few customers in the porridge shop, and in a corner not far away, a young couple was eating and chatting.

The boss spotted Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng immediately upon entering.

"Hey, Gu Fan? Here for a late-night snack again?"

Gu Fan smiled and nodded: "Isn't this just to support my brother?"

"Hehe, thank you very much. This young lady looks familiar. Have you been here before?" The boss smiled and turned his gaze to Jiang Yumeng.

The latter smiled shyly and said, "Yes, I came here last time. The porridge at the restaurant is quite delicious."

That sounded nice, and the owner chuckled and said, "Please find a seat. I was planning to close up shop after these customers finished eating."

Gu Fan nodded and led Jiang Yumeng to a seat.

Jiang Yumeng glanced around, her gaze lingering on the couple for a moment before she hesitated, then got up and sat down next to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yumeng whispered, "I don't like sitting too far away."

She still preferred to sit close to her senior.

Gu Fan smiled slightly, seeing through it but not saying anything.

The porridge was served quickly.

The two of them ordered one serving, mainly because Jiang Yumeng was hungry, while Gu Fan watched her drink it.

Jiang Yumeng carefully stirred the porridge until it was evenly mixed. Then she scooped up a spoonful, blew on it a few times, and then fed it to Gu Fan.

"My boyfriend will eat the first bite!"

Gu Fan smiled indulgently and did not refuse. He opened his mouth and put the porridge in his mouth, but looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

Jiang Yumeng blushed immediately under his gaze, feeling somewhat awkward: "Why are you looking at me like that? It's scary!"

"These are eyes filled with my love for you!"

Gu Fan said innocently.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I don't believe it!"

Jiang Yumeng playfully stuck out her pink tongue, looking completely disbelieving.

You bastard, you clearly have that look in your eyes that says you want to devour her.

"By the way, senior, there's something I'd like to tell you."

Jiang Yumeng, who was drinking porridge, suddenly spoke up.

Gu Fan nodded: "Go ahead."

Jiang Yumeng paused for a moment, then said, "Coco seems to have broken up with her boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan was taken aback, then asked with some suspicion, "Your best friend, Du Keke?"

Jiang Yumeng nodded: "Yes! Didn't I tell you about her before? She likes Qin Ye. Qin Ye didn't accept her for some reasons, but she didn't give up. Instead, she kept pursuing him. But one time, Keke found Qin Ye with another girl, and she was heartbroken for a long time because of it."

Gu Fan listened calmly, his mind racing.

He remembered that Qin Ye's sister was hospitalized and was in a vegetative state. In addition, Qin Ye's family relationships were quite complicated, and he basically had to pay for all of his sister's medical expenses. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have had the energy to date.

Perhaps there's some misunderstanding involved.

Seeing the girl's complicated expression, Gu Fan affectionately patted her head and comforted her, "Alright, it's between them, no one else can interfere."

Jiang Yumeng tilted her head and asked in confusion, "I feel that Coco is a great catch. Any boy would like her, right? Especially since she took the initiative to pursue him. Why isn't Qin Ye interested in her?"

Gu Fan couldn't help but smile, and then he said, "Mengmeng, good conditions don't mean they're suitable. Du Keke's conditions are very good, but Qin Ye's are the opposite. His conditions are very difficult. The gap between the two of them is too big."

Jiang Yumeng thought about it but still couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up: "Forget it! I believe Coco will get over it soon. He's just a man!"

Gu Fan's lips twitched.

Why does what I'm saying sound so strange?

Realizing something, Jiang Yumeng quickly hugged Gu Fan's arm, squeezing her softly against his arm, and said coquettishly, "Of course! I really like you, senior!"

Gu Fan smiled with satisfaction: "That's good. Don't let those toxic motivational quotes online corrupt you!"

Jiang Yumeng chuckled: "Don't worry! I'm not stupid, I'm not a fairy!"

Gu Fan couldn't help but laugh: "You even know about the Little Fairy?"

"Yeah! There are so many interesting things online. Let me tell you, there's a celebrity who's really popular lately. He wears black overalls and plays basketball, and he can also sing and dance to Rup. A lot of netizens call him 'Pigeon,' what does that mean?"

Jiang Yumeng asked innocently.

Gu Fan glanced at her in surprise, then shook his head and laughed, "You shouldn't look at those things, don't take them to heart."

Jiang Yumeng had a very good upbringing and rarely got involved in online gossip, but she encountered more of that in college.

If this continues, innocent female students will easily be led astray.

"All right."

Jiang Yumeng nodded obediently.

She then lowered her head and continued drinking her porridge.

In just over ten minutes, she finished a large bowl of porridge.

Little foodie.

"Hiccup~"

The girl let out a cute burp, then blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Gu Fan's heart melted instantly.

"Mengmeng".

"Huh?"

"Were you raised to be cute?"

Jiang Yumeng's pretty face flushed slightly: "I hate you, senior!"

Gu Fan smiled and then led her away from the porridge shop.

"Your flower shop isn't far from here, would you like to go take a look?"

Jiang Yumeng held Gu Fan's hand and asked.

Gu Fan shook his head: "They're all closed, what's there to see? Let's do it tomorrow."

Come to think of it, it's been a while since he's been to the flower shop.

A cool evening breeze blew by.
