Because of this little episode, Ye Qingtao finished his breakfast in a hurry.
I was scolded early in the morning. Although I fought back, it still affected my mood.
After only eating half of the food on the table, Ye Qingtao couldn't help but grumble a few words.
"It's a bit wasteful to order too much. Don't order so much next time."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gu Jingming said this in a good-tempered manner, as if the fierce man who had just scared Lu Yunchuan away was not him.
"Gu Jingming, can you change your expression?"
"What's the meaning?"
Gu Jingming obviously didn't react, so Ye Qingtao lowered her voice.
"Weren't you quite fierce just now? Why are you so gentle now?"
"That depends on who you are dealing with."
Gu Jingming asked himself, he was indeed very fierce to others, but he never showed mercy to the soldiers under him when training them.
But Ye Qingtao was small and soft, and he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her, so how could he be fierce?
Every time I see the wound on her forehead that is still healing, I feel a little pity in my heart.
Ye Qingtao's face turned slightly red and she quickly stood up and left the snack stand.
Gu Jingming chased after her and said to her with a smile.
"Shall we go to the movies?"
“Is the cinema open in the morning?”
Ye Qingtao asked doubtfully, and Gu Jingming scratched his head to indicate that he didn't know either.
"I don't know. I haven't seen it either."
"Then let's go shopping first and go to the cinema later."
"That's fine."
Although they said they were going for a walk, Gu Jingming took Ye Qingtao to the snack street.
Gu Jingming spent most of his adult life in the army.
He has no private space of his own and rarely goes out shopping.
During his years in the army, it was common for him to suffer from hunger and cold while performing missions, so the thing he cared most about was food.
"This sweet-scented osmanthus cake looks delicious. Come and try it."
Gu Jingming bought the freshly made osmanthus cake and handed it over.
"This fragrant tofu is also pretty good. It smells good and tastes even better."
Gu Jingming bought another portion of tofu. Seeing that there were sugar figures being made, he brought Ye Qingtao to the stall.
"You turn the pattern."
Ye Qingtao seriously suspected that Gu Jingming was treating her like a child.
But she loved sugar figures when she was a child, and couldn't help but turn them around.
The pointer slowly turned and finally stopped at the position of the dragon.
The children surrounding the stall exclaimed in envy.
Even the owner of the sugar figurine stall was a little surprised, considering that the positions of the dragon and phoenix on the turntable were deliberately set very narrow.
Most people can only get some simple cat and dog patterns.
The dragon is very large, and the patterns on its body are very complicated. It takes half a pot of sugar to make a dragon, and the cost is very high.
The boss was somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't stand so many eyes watching him.
There was not much sugar left in the pot, so he melted a new pot of sugar, scooped up a spoonful of sugar with a shake of the spoon, and began to draw the dragon with skillful movements.
The children watching all opened their eyes wide, looking at the dragon pattern gradually taking shape under the boss's drawing in amazement.
Ye Qingtao was also very happy. She had lived two lives and had turned into countless sugar figures, but this was the first time she had turned into a dragon.
After more than ten minutes, a vivid little dragon was made.
The boss fixed it with a bamboo stick and handed it to her after it hardened.
"Little girl, you are so lucky."
The boss was a little reluctant when he handed it to her, but Ye Qingtao took it happily, with smiles in her eyes and eyebrows.
Gu Jingming bought her a lot of delicious food, among which this dragon was the most satisfying.
Ye Qingtao took a bite of the dragon, and the sweet taste filled her mouth.
A group of children looked up at her eagerly, their eyes full of desire.
In a short while, the sugar figurine stall business became very popular.
When Ye Qingtao squeezed out of the crowd, she could still hear voices of pleading.
"Mom, I want to turn into a sugar man too!"
"Mom, that dragon is so big and uses so much candy. I want to spin a dragon too!"
“Mom, Mom…”
Ye Qingtao had already walked a long way away, but she still heard the voice of "Mom, Mom".
"Why do children like to call mom?"
Ye Qingtao asked doubtfully, and Gu Jingming shook his head.
"I don't really understand it either. Maybe there is only one good mother in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure."
"Well, I think so."
Ye Qingtao suddenly missed her dead mother.
It’s a pity that she can’t go back, even if she does, her mother is no longer there.
The two of them strolled around for a while, and Gu Jingming bought a lot of preserved fruits and sugar-roasted chestnuts.
"We can't even finish this, why are you buying so much?"
"Save it for later when we watch the movie."
Gu Jingming smiled gently, his hands full of various snacks. Although he didn't know how to say sweet words to make girls happy, he was really willing to spend money.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the cinema opened. Gu Jingming led the way and took her to the cinema.
Ye Qingtao bit a half-eaten candy man and followed Gu Jingming slowly.
From time to time, she looked up at his back. The man in front of her was tall and handsome. It was a pity that fate was unfair and such a good man died in the end.
The two came to the cinema, and Gu Jingming found a table to put down his things.
"Wait here for a moment. I'm going to the bathroom first."
"You go ahead, I'll continue eating the candy man."
A big dragon has been almost eaten, and now only the head is left.
Ye Qingtao felt that the dragon head was very lifelike, and the whiskers made the whole dragon head look more lively.
Ye Qingtao ate too much candy and her little face turned into that of a big cat without even noticing.
Although she is a doctor of medicine, she is still young and still has a childlike heart.
Ye Qingtao licked the dragon's beard, and it tasted sweet and very good.
"Sister Qingtao, are the candy men delicious? Hey! Brother Yunchuan usually takes me out for a big meal, but she's afraid that eating candy will be bad for my teeth, so she refuses to let me eat the candy men."
Ye Qingtao was eating with gusto when a sudden voice sounded in her ears.
And the voice sounded very familiar. When he looked up, he saw Lu Yunchuan's white moonlight Wei Xueyan following him again.
Was she trying to show off to her by saying these few words?
"Do you never use a trash can at home?"
Ye Qingtao looked at her puzzledly and asked. Wei Xueyan didn't react immediately and couldn't help but ask back.
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, you're such a good container, and you've already taken out all the garbage. It's a waste to have a trash can at home."
"Sister Qingtao, I just wanted to say hello to you, why did you suddenly scold me?"
"What did I scold you for?"
"You scold me for pretending."
Wei Xueyan looked at her with red eyes and looked aggrieved. Ye Qingtao nodded and asked in agreement.
"Isn't it?"
"Sister Qingtao, how can you say that about others?"
Wei Xueyan seemed to be made of water. After just a few words, tears started to flow in front of her.
Lu Yunchuan just came back after buying the ticket and saw Wei Xueyan standing in front of Ye Qingtao crying sadly.
His face turned cold in an instant, and then he looked at her with disappointment.
"Ye Qingtao, do you really dislike Xueyan?"
