Xia Zhining rolled her eyes and continued to tease it: "Could it be possible... that you've learned to drive and come pick me up?"
Just then, a familiar, slightly stiff cough came from the other end of the phone.
Then, a deep male voice sounded, as if trying hard to hide something:
"As soon as the plane landed, it started making a lot of noise."
Gu Huaiye's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
"He even brought the carrot chew stick you gave him to me and I couldn't get rid of it."
He paused, then added in a harsh tone, "...it was too noisy, so I had to call you."
Without waiting for Xia Zhining's response, Gu Huaiye quickly followed up with a tone that brooked no room for rebuttal:
"Wait at the school gate. I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Twenty minutes later.
At the gate of Jiangcheng University.
A black nanny car with smooth lines slid silently to the side of Xia Zhining and stopped.
She just opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
A huge furry figure rushed over enthusiastically.
The wolfhound Dark Star excitedly buried his big head in her arms.
The tail banged on the leather seat and whimpered coquettishly:
[Sister Xia, if it weren’t for the zoo, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well every day!]
Xia Zhining was amused by it and laughed out loud. She steadied herself while rubbing its warm ears: "I know you miss me!"
"I've cleaned up your little nest, built a shed, and put in lots of pots."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhining noticed the man sitting on the other side.
Gu Huaiye was sitting in the spacious back seat with his long legs crossed, looking out the window with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care at all about the "reunion drama" happening around him.
Feeling uncomfortable under Xia Zhining's gaze, Gu Huaiye turned his head, took out an exquisite paper bag from his side, and stuffed it into her hand without even looking at it.
His voice was cold, "It was given to me by the VIP lounge at the airport. I don't eat anything sweet, it would be a waste to throw it away."
Xia Zhining looked down and saw that the bag contained steaming milk tea and a cute dessert from Xiaomo.
She blinked in surprise, and before she could say anything, she heard a light cough next to her.
"If you don't eat it, throw it away."
Gu Huaiye still had his face tilted to the side, his jawline was a little tight, but his ears were slightly warm.
Xia Zhining's eyes curved with a smile as she shook the bag: "Well, we can't waste food!"
"Then just 'throw' it into my stomach!"
She inserted a straw and took a big sip with satisfaction, and the rich and mellow aroma of milk tea instantly filled the air.
"Thank you, Boss Gu!"
Xia Zhining squinted her eyes happily, like a little fox whose fur was stroked, and did not forget to secretly glance at the man next to her.
Gu Huaiye still maintained his aloof sitting posture, but from an angle that she couldn't see, the corners of his mouth curled up very slightly.
An Xing turned around and pulled out a large luggage bag from the back seat of the car. He excitedly pushed it towards Xia Zhining: [Sister, sister! I brought you a lot of gifts for my trip abroad this time!]
Xia Zhining's jaw dropped as she watched: "This whole bag... is it all for me?"
Dark Star: [Yes, yes!]
It began to pick up things one by one and placed each one solemnly in front of her.
The first thing that appeared was a brand new and shiny new fruit mobile phone box.
[Sister, I saw your phone is so old, so I just picked one for you!]
Gu Huaiye held his forehead in his hand and added helplessly, "It passed by an electronics store and pressed its paw on the display unit and refused to let go. Its saliva almost covered the screen."
“I’d feel bad if I didn’t buy one.”
Then, Anxing brought out a large, beautifully packaged box of chocolate: [Look, sis, a lot of kids overseas eat this!]
Before Xia Zhining could react, it pulled out various imported snacks, a set of high-end skincare products, and even a sparkling crystal bracelet from the bag that seemed like a bottomless pit...
Xia Zhining was stunned: "These... are all for me?"
Dark Star nodded his head like pounding garlic: [Yes, yes! Do you like it, sister?]
[I see people who go abroad bring gifts for their friends and family!]
