Chapter 412 Wan Qiqi is nowhere to be found
"Uncle Gousheng, Mom isn't here. Can we secretly buy a string of candied hawthorns?" She tilted her head, her bright eyes blinking as if she had crushed starlight and put it into her eye sockets.
Wu Gousheng remembered Wan Qiqi's instructions and wanted to refuse.
Meeting An'an's gaze, he couldn't bear to refuse, "Alright! You and Pingping can share one skewer, otherwise you'll eat too much..."
"It's bad for your teeth!" Pingping and An'an chimed in at the same time.
They exchanged a glance and grinned.
Siblings who are close in age often have a great understanding, and those who have grown up together from childhood are bound to have an even better one.
Wu Gousheng shook his head helplessly and led the child toward the vendor selling candied hawthorns.
Although he said he would only buy one skewer, in the end everyone got one.
Wu Choudan took out the copper coins he had hidden from his pocket and handed them to the vendor, saying, "I'd like another string."
Upon seeing this, Wu Gousheng scolded, "You stinky egg, you're not allowed to eat so much!"
"I bought this for my brother." Wu Choudan handed the candied hawthorn skewer the vendor gave him to Wu Gousheng. "Brother, you have some too, it's on you!"
I fear this kind of sudden relationship the most.
Wu Gousheng always thought of himself as an adult, but when he had a string of candied hawthorns in his hand, he felt like he was old enough to eat candied hawthorns.
In the past, Sister Qi would also eat candied hawthorn.
Moreover, as Sister Qi said, eating snacks is not unique to children; adults can be childish too.
He held the candied hawthorn in his hand, reluctant to eat it, and led his younger brother away.
Fang Luxue, having eaten too much and wanting to digest, decided to try her luck at the academy, and just then she witnessed the scene of people buying candied hawthorns.
She suddenly realized that Wu Gousheng wasn't so bad after all, and was even somewhat cute.
Most importantly, she finally caught him!
"Wu Gousheng, where have you been all day? Do you know I've been looking for you all day?"
"Huh?" Wu Gousheng was stunned.
She searched for herself all day?
Fang Luxue came against the light; the afterglow of dusk softened her features, adding a touch of gentleness.
Wu Gousheng was stunned by such gentleness and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He blankly handed over the candied hawthorn in his hand and asked, "Want some?"
Fang Luxue was about to curse, but his words silenced her. She took the candied hawthorn, took a bite, and puffed out her cheeks, saying, "What have you been doing today? I haven't seen you."
"He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and this perfectly illustrates Fang Luxue's point.
At this moment, her tone and attitude were very different from before, even carrying a hint of gentleness.
"I...I have something...I can't say." Wu Gousheng wasn't lying. Almost everything Wan Qiqi had told him couldn't be told to anyone else, including Fang Luxue.
Fang Luxue wanted to get angry; there was something she couldn't possibly know. But in the end, seeing the child there, she didn't get angry and asked, "Where's Sister Qi?"
“She’s busy and not here,” Wu Gousheng explained.
Fang Luxue rolled her eyes. Of course she knew that Wu Gousheng was just bluffing.
But upon closer reflection, I figured asking would yield the same result—I couldn't say.
Although she came to see Wan Qiqi today, Wu Gousheng could also come.
She tilted her head and said, "Wu Gousheng, although my cousin did a lot of wrong things in the past, he really wants to make up with Sister Qi now. Can you help me talk to him?"
Wu Gousheng was taken aback upon hearing this, recalling what Tang Qiwen had said when he was drunk that day, and for a moment he didn't know how to tell Fang Luxue.
He couldn't very well say that Tang Qiwen was faking it and that he actually wanted to harm Sister Qi, could he?
But if he didn't make things clear, he was afraid that Fang Luxue would be caught in the middle and put in an awkward position.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Fang Luxue frowned in dissatisfaction.
She discovered that people who spent a lot of time with Wan Qiqi would also learn Wan Qiqi's habits.
For example: talking for a while and then suddenly stopping.
Wu Gousheng smiled faintly and said, "I'll give it a try!"
Then, he looked up and asked, "How can you be so sure he's really changed?"
“He’s my cousin, how could I not know?” Fang Luxue replied quickly. “Although my cousin isn’t the best-tempered person, he’s impulsive and a bit foolish, but he’s changed a lot now!”
"Have you ever considered that his change might just be a facade, a way to gain everyone's trust, rather than something he's truly doing?" Wu Gousheng spoke cautiously, afraid that he might hurt Fang Luxue's feelings by being too harsh.
Only Sister Qi and he knew about the secret conversation. Sister Qi insisted on keeping it a secret and pretended not to know anything, making the other party think they were still anxious.
However, seeing Fang Luxue being deceived by Tang Qiwen, I felt somewhat sorry for her.
"Wu Gousheng, what do you mean? You mean my brother was faking it?" Fang Luxue had actually had this thought in her mind, but she quickly dismissed it and suppressed it.
It's not that she doesn't believe, but that she doesn't want to believe.
If my cousin really changes for the better and eases his relationship with Sister Qi, then everything will be fine.
If it's all an act, then the relationship will only get worse and worse. How will she continue to get along with Sister Qi?
Therefore, she preferred to believe that Tang Qiwen had changed for the better and genuinely wanted to reconcile.
But if he was deceiving her, she wouldn't stand idly by; she would definitely write to her uncle and ask him to come back and handle the matter.
When the child saw the two adults about to argue, he immediately came out to stop them.
"Aunt Fang, may I hold your hand?" An'an asked earnestly.
Fang Luxue was taken aback, not understanding what An'an was trying to do.
“Aunt Fang, my mother said that if I play with a pretty girl like you more, I can become just as pretty…” An’an blinked, her sincerity unwavering.
In fact, Wan Qiqi never said that; it was just something An An made up.
Fang Luxue was overjoyed to hear this and took An'an's little hand, saying, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, Auntie will take you to eat something delicious!"
