Ye Xin's Chapter: Pounce
"You've misunderstood, he's not my husband."
A child's subconscious explanation.
Customer: "Oh, I see, it's my boyfriend."
"Haha, you two look like a perfect match!"
childlike innocence:……
She glanced subconsciously at Gu Ye, who was busy at work, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't react.
"that."
She said to Gu Ye, "Everyone was just saying it casually, don't mind it."
Gu Ye: "Mm."
Business was so good that breakfast sold out in less than an hour.
So when Gu Qi, that little glutton, arrived, he hadn't bought anything.
Tong Xin was surprised that he would come even though he didn't have school on the weekend, so she didn't leave any for him.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Gu Qi didn't have time to feel disappointed.
At that moment, he glanced at the old man in front of the food cart, then at Tong Xin sitting on the stool next to him, and blinked.
Were you helping Sister Tongxin sell things just now?
"Wow, Uncle, you're so kind!"
But in Gu Qi's memory, her uncle wasn't such a warm-hearted person.
Although Gu Qi was only 3 years old, she was still very smart and after thinking for a while, she vaguely understood what was going on.
"Uncle, do you like Sister Tongxin...? Hmm!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Ye strode over, picked him up, pulled him into his arms, and forcibly muted his microphone.
He looked calmly at Tong Xin with his dark eyes: "If you're not feeling well, go back as soon as possible. I'm leaving."
"Oh well."
Tong Xin sincerely said, "Thank you for today. When are you free to treat me to a meal?"
Gu Ye: "No..."
"Okay, okay!"
Forced to be held in his arms and muted, Gu Qi used his little tail to pry his uncle's hands away, turned his head and blurted out, "My uncle has weekends off every week, he's always free!"
"Sister, if you're going to treat Uncle to a meal, can you take me with you? I want to go too!" he asked, raising his little hand expectantly.
Tong Xin chuckled, "Of course!"
"Yay!" Little Gu Qi said happily, "Can I eat the food you cook, sister?"
"this……"
Tong Xin looked at Gu Ye and asked, "Then next week on this day, I'll personally cook for you to eat, okay?"
She added, "Don't worry, I'm a great cook, I won't treat you badly!"
Gu Qi looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "Uncle~"
Gu Ye: ……
Did you give him a chance to refuse?
So the meal was agreed upon.
"I feel so sorry for Sister Tongxin, she comes to set up her stall so early every day."
A moment later, Gu Qi watched Tong Xin's departing figure and sighed.
He tilted his head to look at Gu Ye: "Uncle, if you had married Sister Tongxin sooner, she wouldn't have had to work so hard!"
He blinked his big, bright eyes, the implication being all too clear.
"Period."
Gu Ye rubbed his little head and said, "My relationship with her isn't what you think."
"ah?"
Gu Qi asked in confusion, "Then, Uncle, don't you like Sister Tongxin?"
But he felt that the two of them were a perfect match.
In my mother's words, our magnetic fields are super compatible; we're the kind that attract each other!
"like?"
Gu Ye lowered his eyes and said softly, "I just think she is a sincere person."
To put it bluntly, he's just naturally naive and a bit silly.
She didn't even know how to seduce someone on their first meeting.
She clearly loathed the cutthroat world of fame and fortune, practically rolling her eyes to the heavens, yet she forced herself to act like a seductive vixen to seduce him.
Unfortunately, his acting skills are terrible, and he's too lazy to put in any effort to improve them.
They never hold their anger in, and will scold you regardless of your status. They don't hold grudges when they're happy, and they know how to repay kindness.
A girl with no guile or guile.
Gu Ye has always been tolerant of such innocent and naive people and is willing to befriend them, even if... she is a succubus.
"I see~"
Gu Qi lowered his head and pondered, then grasped the key point.
So that means you have feelings for them?
After all, my uncle has always been cold-hearted, and many people don't even have the right to have their names remembered by him, let alone gain his favor.
Therefore, feeling that Sister Tongxin is sincere means having a good impression of her!
Yes, that's right, that must be it!
If he puts in a little more effort to bring them together, I believe that in the near future, my uncle will have a wife!
"Yay~" Gu Qi wagged her little tail, extremely happy.
Gu Ye had no idea what he was thinking, so he casually rubbed his cute little tail and then carried him into the car.
For the next week, Tongxin continued to set up her stall without fail.
Because of his excellent skills, the time he spent setting up his stall each day was reduced from about two hours at the beginning to less than half an hour at the end, when he would sell out.
The food they make is in high demand and short supply.
Even so, she would still make a point of saving a few portions for Gu Ye and his nephew every day.
In these fulfilling and satisfying days, the day soon arrived for the dinner invitation to Uncle Gu Ye and his nephew.
So after finishing her stall today, Tongxin went straight to the vegetable market to buy groceries, and then went to the supermarket to pick out some drinks and snacks.
After a busy period, it was 7 p.m.
"Knock knock~"
Just as the knocking sounded, Tongxin's last dish was ready.
She went to open the door wearing only an apron.
"elder sister!"
As soon as the door opened, Gu Qi, who was being held in Gu Ye's arms, greeted her warmly.
"Welcome!"
With a childlike smile, she welcomed the two into the living room.
"Please sit here for a while, I'll go bring the dishes up and then we can eat."
As if remembering something, she smiled apologetically at Gu Ye, "I'm sorry, the rented room is a bit basic, I hope you don't mind."
Gu Ye: "It's nothing."
But as he spoke, he silently surveyed the environment of the rented room.
As she said, it was indeed very rudimentary.
The entire house was extremely small, with only one bedroom and one living room, and the ceiling was particularly low.
Standing at 191 cm tall, he was only about 20 centimeters short of touching the roof, making him look extremely cramped.
Fortunately, although the house was in poor condition, it was kept very clean by the owner and decorated very warmly.
There was even a faint fragrance floating in the air.
Watching her busy figure in the kitchen, Gu Ye didn't say anything and silently went over to help.
But the kitchen door is only about 1.8 meters high, so he has to duck when he goes in.
Tong Xin found it somewhat amusing, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Go sit down, I'll do it."
But before she could finish speaking, Gu Ye walked in and took the groceries from her hands.
"fine"
After saying that, he carried it to the dining table.
As Tong Xin watched his handsome back, her affection for him grew even stronger.
He's definitely a man who's proactive and attentive to his work.
She chuckled softly, then turned to the cupboard to get a bowl.
However, one very bad thing about this rental apartment is that the cabinets are positioned very high, right up to the ceiling.
So even though Tongxin is 165cm tall, it is very difficult for her to pick things up, and she has to stand on tiptoe every time.
The same goes for this time.
As usual, she tiptoed to get the bowl she needed for eating.
But the tall shadow fell down just as he was halfway through the movement.
"I'll do it."
A magnetic voice descended from above, causing Tong Xin to pause, instinctively tilting her head back.
Then the man reached out and easily selected the bowls and chopsticks he needed from the cupboard.
This angle is amazing.
Although it was unintentional, the close proximity gave one the feeling of being embraced.
Tong Xin could even clearly smell the cool, light scent of male hormones on him.
The height difference was on full display at this moment.
Involuntarily, Tong Xin's cheeks flushed slightly.
"alright."
Gu Ye didn't see Tong Xin's reaction. He took down the bowl he was going to use and went over to add more rice.
Tong Xin reached out and touched her face to cool it down, then very tactfully went to get her food.
"Hehe, what a happy family~"
In the living room, Xiao Gu sighed, silently taking a picture of the heartwarming scene in the kitchen with her phone, and sent it to her grandmother with a voice message: "Grandma, aren't they a perfect match?"
The moment the message was sent, his grandmother called him via video call.
Gu Qi blinked and stretched out her little paw to poke through.
"Period!"
An Qingyao's excited voice came through: "Where are you and your uncle now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ye and Tong Xin came over with bowls and chopsticks.
"Qiqi, it's time to eat." Tongxin thoughtfully handed Gu Qi a pair of chopsticks.
A sweet female voice came through the microphone to An Qingyao.
Then, the next second, she heard her eldest son's cold voice: "Don't play on your phone while eating."
"oh."
Gu Qi was very obedient and immediately waved to An Qingyao on the other end of the phone: "Grandma, I'm going to eat now. I'll talk to you later, bye-bye~"
After he finished speaking, he pouted his little mouth and gave his grandma a sweet, adorable kiss before hanging up the phone.
An Qingyao, who was completely captivated, thought: ...
To entertain the uncle and nephew, Tong Xin specially prepared a lot of dishes.
However, she failed to consider that her desk was too small.
The food was so small that it had to be squeezed together to fit, and Gu Ye's long legs also had nowhere to go, making it difficult to pick up food.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Tong Xin took the initiative to pick up the serving chopsticks and put food on his plate.
Gu Ye paused for a moment when the food was placed in his bowl.
"Um~"
Tong Xin, afraid he would misunderstand, quickly explained, "I was worried it would be difficult for you to pick up the food from there, so..."
"Thanks."
Gu Ye: "You can catch it."
Tongxin: "Oh, that's good."
After she finished speaking, she proactively put some food on Xiao Guqi's plate: "Here, Qiqi, try this~"
It was almost an hour later when the meal ended.
Gu Ye, a well-mannered and polite man who is also very capable, went to the kitchen with Tong Xin to clean up the dishes out of gentlemanly courtesy.
The meal was harmonious and pleasant.
But in Gu Qi's view, it was perhaps a little too harmonious.
Throughout the entire process, Tongxin was focused on feeding him, while the cold-hearted uncle was focused on eating dry rice, and the two barely interacted.
How can I possibly find love and get married like this?
Gu Qi was determined to bring her uncle and Tong Xin together.
After all, my uncle is so handsome and gentle. It would be too tragic if he became an old man that no girl wanted!
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel troubled.
So, how do we bring them together?
Without realizing it, Gu Qi thought of her beautiful mother.
Oh right, wasn't it Mom who pursued Dad the first time?
Grandma said that Dad was really arrogant back then and very hard to win over. Many girls pursued him but he couldn't get them, but in the end, Mom won him over.
So your mother must have a lot of experience in dating, so you can't go wrong asking her!
Thinking of this, Gu Qi glanced at the kitchen, then pretended to have a stomachache and ran to the bathroom to secretly call her mother for advice.
So he took a little longer to get to the restroom this time.
Finally, Gu Ye, still worried, knocked on the door: "Qiqi, what's wrong? Do you have diarrhea?"
Tongxin's meal included special ingredients from a succubus.
So, just like humans, they can eat their fill, but if they don't eat well, they will also get diarrhea.
At this point, Xiao Guqi had successfully learned the ropes from his mother.
Upon hearing his uncle's voice, he thought for a moment and immediately began to perform, following his mother's instructions.
"Uncle~"
He deliberately spoke in a tearful voice, "I accidentally peed in my pants, boohoo~"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye did not hesitate and immediately opened the door and walked in.
Then, upon closer inspection, sure enough, my little nephew's pants were indeed wet.
Gu Qi looked at him pitifully: "Uncle, I'm dirty, I want to take a bath."
This was absolutely true; Gu Qi really, really, really wanted to take a shower right now, and couldn't wait even a second longer.
After all, if you're going to act, you have to go all the way, and my uncle is so smart, so the urine on his pants was real.
He sacrificed so much, sob sob~
Gu Ye found it amusing and, without the slightest disgust, picked up the little guy. "Then your uncle will take you back to wash."
"don't want!"
Gu Qi shook her head frantically, "I want to wash now, I'm so dirty!"
Gu Ye frowned slightly, "Qiqi, it might be inconvenient to wash now..."
"OK."
Just then, Tongxin walked over.
She looked at Xiao Guqi's wet pants and said, "I can take a shower here, and there are clean towels too."
"It won't be comfortable for Qiqi to go back wet like this. Let's wash him now, and then we can wrap him in a towel and change his clothes when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qi stretched out its tail and wrapped it around Gu Ye's wrist, urging pitifully, "Uncle, I want to take a bath, I'm dirty~"
Helpless, Gu Ye had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
With his plan succeeding, Gu Qi was strutting around with pride.
Mom said he could get Uncle wet while taking a bath; he just had to find a way to keep Uncle with Sister Tongxin.
Even if you can't stay all night, it's good to give them an extra hour or two to develop their relationship.
Everything went smoothly from then on.
Gu Qi did indeed shake his fur like a puppy, successfully getting his uncle wet, but...
"Waaah~"
Halfway through her bath, Gu Qi finally couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears.
Why didn't anyone tell him why taking a bath was such a torturous experience for his uncle?
They splashed water into his eyes, then his ears and mouth, and almost scrubbed his skin raw. It hurt him so much.
"Don't cry."
Seeing the little guy crying in distress, Gu Ye was at a loss to comfort him, "I'm sorry, it's because your uncle is too stupid."
When Tongxin heard the noise and rushed over to check, this was what she saw.
The man, who was always invincible in the business world, was now soaking wet, disheveled, and utterly helpless.
The naked little cub in front of him was the same, even its little tail drooping down in grievance.
Upon seeing her arrive, the uncle and nephew turned their heads simultaneously. The elder brother's expression seemed indifferent, but a faint blush of embarrassment appeared on his cheeks.
The little girl looked aggrieved, on the verge of tears, and all her unspoken words were condensed into two: "Sister~"
childlike innocence:……
She chuckled, then shook her head helplessly: "Never mind, I'll wash it."
After she finished speaking, she prepared to walk in and take over.
But the bathroom was a mess, with slippery foam all over the floor.
And then the next second...
"ah!"
Tong Xin slipped on the foam and fell forward with a sudden thud.
"Bang!"
"Hmm~"
The sounds of wrestling and groans mingled together.
By the time Gu Qi realized what was happening, her uncle had already been tackled to the ground by the girl, their chests pressed together and their cheeks touching.
Gu Qi blinked, then silently hugged her knees and squatted down into the simple plastic basin "bathtub".
Forget about feeling wronged, it just wagged its little tail happily and let out a sigh like someone watching a melon.
Wow~
childlike innocence:……
Gu Ye: ……
