Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 115 The Scorching Sun (14 pages)

The taro buns are made by an elderly couple, and their skill in making taro buns has been passed down from generation to generation.

I don't know what the secret is, but Gu Yao always felt that the taro buns at this shop were the best.

The old woman, who had just lifted the lid, looked at the two people who had come hand in hand through the misty steam. The skin at the corners of her eyes wrinkled, revealing a hint of a smile.

She wiped her hands and greeted the two of them, "Xiao Xi brought Xiao Yao for breakfast again? Is it the same as usual today?"

When the two approached, she looked at their clasped hands with a puzzled expression, but didn't think much of it.

She just watched Gu Yao tease, "Xiao Yao is so big now, why does Xiao Xi still have to hold his hand? Are you afraid he'll get lost?"

The mother-in-law was just saying it casually. She wiped her hands and turned around to clear the table for the two of them.

Gu Xi, on the contrary, was startled by this glance and reacted abnormally, making a move to pull her hand away.

Sensing that Gu Xi seemed about to let go of his hand, Gu Yao did not comply.

Instead, she forcefully inserted her hand between his fingers, changing the clasped hand gesture to a tightly interlocked finger position.

He didn't care at all about the stares of others.

The boy, who usually had a gentle demeanor, seemed to have grown up overnight. He was able to handle others with ease while also providing Gu Xi with a strong sense of security.

Gu Yao raised their intertwined hands and smiled, "Yes, I'm already so old, but he still worries about my safety crossing the street alone and insists on holding my hand."

Gu Xi stared wide-eyed in surprise, and Gu Yao also turned to look at Gu Xi.

The boy's deep brown eyes gleamed in the sunlight filtering through the dappled leaves.

He stared intently into Gu Yao's smiling eyes. His slightly immature face was completely undisguised, and his clear eyes were full of honesty.

The two boys' intertwined hands gleamed in the morning light streaming into the breakfast shop.

The wrinkles on the mother-in-law's face deepened. She gave the two of them three taro buns, and then served them two bowls of soy milk and a fried egg.

"It's rare to see people who are so old but still have such a good relationship, still sticking together every day."

My two grandsons are always causing trouble; they can't stand the sight of each other.

Although she complained, you could still see the tenderness in her eyes, full of love for her grandson.

Gu Yao picked up a taro bun and started chatting with her mother-in-law, "They are both very filial. Last weekend, they even came to bring you a coat because they were worried you would get cold."

The mother-in-law smiled and waved her hand, "No way, those two are always making me worry. Only you, Xiao Yao, have a sweet tongue."

The mother-in-law wanted to chat with Gu Yao a little longer, but customers were already coming to buy breakfast in front of the shop, so she had to go back to the stove.

Looking at her mother-in-law's happy smile, Gu Yao's eyes revealed a hint of envy.

Ordinary happiness is already a luxury for most people.

That is also true for him now.

Feeling the noise all around.

There were girls talking about the latest hit dramas, teenagers rushing to get to work early with steamed buns in their mouths, and elderly men jogging by nearby...

The myriad aspects of human life can be seen in this small breakfast shop.

Gu Yao's spot is in the corner of the small shop; the square table is placed against the corner, just right for two people to sit down.

Amidst the rising steam, the warmth of human life unfolds.

Gu Yao and Gu Xi held hands tightly under the table, unwilling to let go even though their palms were sweaty.

The boy's hazy love was both timid and grand.

Amidst the bustling crowd, she carefully concealed her surging love, yet inadvertently revealed her true feelings.

It's a mixture of sweetness and bitterness.

Gu Yao's behavior today was completely unexpected; his audacity was unlike anything he usually does.

He really wanted to let go of Gu Yao's hand just now; it was still a bit strange that there were two boys.

He didn't want Gu Yao to be looked at strangely by others.

I don't want Gu Yao to suffer because of him.

He wanted his youth to be forever proud and passionate.

Like the sun on the horizon, it deserves to be looked up to by everyone.

Feeling Gu Xi's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Yao shifted his gaze from his mother-in-law's busy figure and looked at Gu Xi, tightening his grip on her hand even more.

"what happened?"

Gu Xi felt the strength in her hand, took a deep breath, looked at the youthful face in front of her, and returned the grip on Gu Yao's hand.

Gu Yao is so open and honest, so what is he afraid of?

He looked directly into those eyes brimming with affection, and a smile spread across his face. "Eat quickly, or we'll be late at eight o'clock."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao became somewhat dejected, and his tone lowered, "I understand."

Gu Xi could almost see Gu Yao's ears drooping. He smiled and pushed the plate of taro buns toward Gu Yao, his tone coaxing, "Don't be upset, the last taro bun is for you."

Gu Yao picked it up angrily and took another big bite.

"This was originally mine."

His tone was so matter-of-fact.

Looking at the childish Gu Yao, Gu Xi was happy to indulge him, and agreed verbally, "Yes, yes, it's all yours."

Gu Yao snorted and took another bite of the taro bun.

Both of them ate with one hand in tacit agreement, their hands clasped tightly together at the corner table, neither willing to let go.

The veil that had been covering his eyes was completely lifted.

The boy's hazy feelings of love gradually became clear.

A single spark can ignite a prairie fire of love.

The two finished their breakfast quietly, paid the bill silently, and left.

They got up from the table. The street, which had been deserted when they arrived, was now bustling with activity. The two of them tacitly let go of each other's hands.

The thin layer of sweat on my palms brought a cool breeze in the morning air.

The two walked side by side under the shade of the trees. The sunlight overhead was broken up by the layers of leaves and scattered on the bluestone slabs, becoming dappled spots of light.

In late spring, the azaleas in the green flower beds bloom brilliantly, with red, pink, and white flowers vying for attention.

Gu Xi watched Gu Yao's figure walk up the steps of the School of Finance until he was out of sight, and then left reluctantly.

As she walked down the street, familiar classmates greeted Gu Xi. Gu Xi smiled and responded, but her fingertips were caressing her palms, as if the warmth of the boy still lingered there.

It's so captivating that you don't want to leave.

Gu Xi's head was still spinning, and her feet felt like they were walking on cotton; everything felt so unreal.

Those who knew Gu Xi well saw her grinning foolishly while holding a pen and leaned over with gossipy expressions, "Gu Xi, what good thing happened to you?"

Gu Xi snapped out of her daze, looked at the gossipy face in front of her, and at the subtle attention around her, and waved her hand.

"nothing."

Seeing that Gu Xi was unwilling to talk, the man did not press for details.

However, judging from her keen intuition, they were probably plucked by someone else.

The way he looked so in love, tsk tsk.

Love, oh love, it really makes you dizzy.

I wonder who will be able to crack this tough nut?
