Chaochao forced herself to look away from the lollipop, her clear almond-shaped eyes fixed on Pei Yushen with a serious and focused expression. "This candy just fell to the ground and rolled around. Inside... inside it might have cracked..."
The little dumpling analyzed earnestly, but couldn't help secretly swallowing her saliva. When her wandering gaze fell on the candy, she was momentarily lost in a delicious reverie before snapping out of it and quickly raising her head, pretending to look at the birds in the sky: "This bird is thinner than Gray Gray..."
They probably won't hear this and then go to Grey to complain, right?
The forest is so big, I... I don't think you know anyone here...
In short, she definitely wasn't after the candy she gave to Yu Shen! Once it's given away, there's no reason to take it back.
—But the recipient can return the gift.
The system tactfully picked up on what the little dumpling hadn't finished saying.
Once interrupted, Chaochao herself almost believed her perfect explanation.
Pei Yushen nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's possible, but it's okay. It's still edible even if it's broken. I won't let you down."
The last sentence was spoken in a gentle tone by the usually cold and melancholic young man.
Chaochao: "…………"
Shouldn't it be that Brother Yu Shen didn't want to eat it anymore, and then she could naturally pick it up again?
She racked her brains and managed to say something against her will: "But... it won't taste good if it's broken..."
Pei Yushen: "I don't think it has any impact. In fact, the size is more suitable if it breaks apart."
Chaochao: "…………"
She could almost see Little Orange flapping its wings to say goodbye to her.
Seeing the weariness of sacrificing for others' happiness appear on Chaochao's innocent face, Pei Yushen finally stopped teasing her.
He returned the lollipop, saying calmly, "But I don't want orange flavor today. Give me another flavor later."
Just as Chaochao was about to finish mentally preparing herself, a sigh of regret suddenly caught in her throat. She turned her head with a bright look in her eyes and said, "Then, then I'll give my brother the mango flavor when I get home."
Just as she was about to take Xiao Cheng back, Chao Chao hesitated as she reached out her little hand. She looked down at the second candy lying in the boy's palm, her voice filled with confusion: "Brother Yu Shen... don't you like peach flavor today either?"
She remembered that she hadn't given this candy either.
...Could this be something that Little Orange differentiated herself from?!
Chaochao Xiaolian expressed her shock.
"This is a return gift."
Pei Yushen stuffed both candies into Chaochao's pocket.
Long ago, Pei Yushen developed the habit of putting a piece of candy in his pocket before going out.
He doesn't like snacks, but there's always candy in his cupboard.
This puzzled Pei's parents for quite a while.
It wasn't always the case that Ah Shen loved sweets.
It wasn't until later that Shu Han saw the candy in Pei Yushen's room appear in Chaochao's cheeks, who had been grieving for the past few days.
Upon hearing this, Chaochao immediately raised her bright eyes. This time, it was her turn to be the little girl who gets red envelopes from all her aunts and uncles during holidays. She waved her hand shyly and said, "Oh, Brother Yushen, you're too kind..."
Meanwhile, her little hand secretly slipped the candy into the back of her pocket.
Pei Yushen paused for a second on the little dumpling's radiant face, then looked away as if nothing had happened. "President Huo said you could only eat three candies a day, right?"
At this moment, Chaochao had already quickly unwrapped the lollipop and put it in her mouth. Surrounded by the refreshing orange scent, the happy smile that had just appeared on her face froze: "…………"
This must be the fourth or fifth one she secretly ate today.
"It's not a problem... as long as you don't say anything... Daddy won't cut me..." Chaochao mumbled, "Brother, just pretend you didn't see anything..."
She leaned closer to Pei Yushen, raised her short, chubby finger, and gently shushed him.
Here, only heaven, earth, you, and I know; oh, and even the birds that just flew by know.
Pei Yu's deep eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the driver who had been standing by the car for a long time, watching the commotion with a knowing smile.
The Huo family driver, who had been completely absorbed in admiring his young mistress's cuteness, suddenly noticed the Pei family young master's gaze. He paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed "Oh!" before solemnly flicking a finger in response: "Shh—"
Don't worry, he knows everything!
Pei Yushen: "...Aren't you driving?"
Driver: ...Huh? Is that what you mean?
Wang Jie looked away: "..."
Sorry, this is her teammate.
Although she almost shushed herself just now, cough cough...
...
Yingchuan Middle School.
Yu Ning, who wanted to ask the teacher a few more questions, left the teaching building quite late. Having avoided the peak dismissal time, there were far fewer people lingering at the school gate, making it feel rather empty and spacious.
Yu Ning was pondering whether she could work part-time at the store that evening and also study how to survive over the next ten years when her peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the roadside... and then slowly moved back.
She looked at the familiar, expensive Bentley.
It's a car belonging to the Huo family.
She had seen it parked downstairs at her house that night.
Yu Ning's steps, which had been clearly directed, slowly came to a stop. She subconsciously reached into her pocket, but when she couldn't find the object she could touch, she realized that the little pink pig had already been given to Chaochao.
I reckon Chaochao is in the car right now.
Most of them were there to pick up Yu Ci from school.
Yu Ci... what exactly is his relationship with the little dumpling...?
According to the novel's plot, Yu Ci and the Huo family shouldn't have any connection... Strange...
Yu Ning frowned, shook her head, and lifted her foot to walk back in the original direction.
Anyway, they probably didn't come looking for her.
And they had just spoken on the phone yesterday.
but--
Yu Ning's shoe tip turned 30 degrees with an extremely smooth motion.
The fingers hidden in the loose cuffs curled up, as if tickled by a foxtail grass.
Although the words have been spoken, the past is now behind us. It would be too much of a waste not to gently pinch that soft, bouncy baby fat.
However, just as Yu Ning was only five steps away from the Bentley, a tall, dark figure suddenly entered the lower left corner of her field of vision.
After leaving Songda Affiliated High School, Chaochao saw that it was close to the time and immediately suggested that they come to Yingchuan again to pick up Jingcheng after school and take him home.
Pei Yushen had no objection to this, but quietly nodded his chin in agreement. The slight upturn of his lips was fleeting and went unnoticed by anyone.
