Chapter 407: 407 is embarrassingly strange

Gu Yingzhou did not argue, his voice gentle as he said, "It’s the thought that counts."

Once Tangtang met her grandparents, she’d know his words weren’t false.

Lin Tang nodded, "Alright, then I’ll just bring what I’ve prepared."

Yes, just take the things you prepared earlier.

"Okay." Gu Yingzhou responded.

Then he looked down at her foot and asked, "How’s your foot doing? Did you apply the medicine?"

Lin Tang had put on a pair of home slippers when she came downstairs.

These slippers were crocheted by Li Xiuli, not as pretty as the store-bought ones, but more comfortable to wear.

She moved her foot, revealing a heel with a layer of skin rubbed raw.

"The medicine’s on, it’s just a bit of broken skin, it’ll be fine after a night’s rest."

Gu Yingzhou looked down at the broken skin on Lin Tang’s foot, his brow furrowing imperceptibly.

"Don’t wear those little leather shoes tomorrow," he said with a hint of firmness.

No sooner had he spoken, worried that the young girl might react defiantly, he added another line.

"If you want to wear them, wait until your foot injury heals."

"We’ll probably be walking a lot tomorrow, better to wear something comfortable."

The expo starts tomorrow, and it’ll be a full day’s visit once we get there.

If the shoes don’t fit well, it won’t just be momentary discomfort, but all day long.

Lin Tang was not someone who couldn’t differentiate good from bad, and she laughed, "Don’t worry, I wasn’t planning to wear the little leather shoes anyway."

Little leather shoes would slow her down!

Having heard this, Gu Yingzhou felt relieved.

He satisfyingly ruffled the young girl’s hair with a pleased gesture.

His voice, low and magnetic, resonated, "...Good girl, Tangtang."

Lin Tang found herself utterly unable to withstand such a voice uttering such enticing words, her ears burning hot.

Yet she kept a straight face and changed the subject.

"...I’d like to go to the bookstore and have a look."

If she didn’t go now, there wouldn’t be time for the next few days.

She had planned to go later, but now that he had come, of course she would take him with her.

Gu Yingzhou glanced instinctively at her foot and said, "I’ll take you there."

"The bookstore isn’t far, just go in your slippers, don’t change shoes, it’s not good for a broken skin to be covered up."

Lin Tang just wanted to go to the bookstore, she didn’t care about anything else.

She quickly nodded, "Okay."

After deciding, Lin Tang put the cloth shoes back in her room and walked to the bookstore with Gu Yingzhou.

The young man with a handsome face and long legs, the young girl radiant and delicate as a begonia flower, both beautiful and charming.

They looked like a perfect match!

The two had just disappeared from the entrance of the Guest House when a figure emerged from behind a large tree.

The owner of the shadow had a twisted expression, her gaze fixed on Lin Tang was so sinister it looked like she could devour someone.

Vixen!

A vixen that seduces people.

Brother Yingzhou must have been deceived.

No, she had to catch the vixen’s tail and expose her in front of Brother Yingzhou.

With that thought, Wan Manzhu stamped her foot in anger and stealthily followed them.

Lin Tang had no idea trouble was on its way.

As they passed by a few shops, she suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance.

"...What’s that smell?" Lin Tang looked around, sniffing lightly.

Trying to locate the source of the aroma.

The young girl wore her hair in cute braids, a black-and-white striped short sleeve, and a dark blue long skirt.

The subdued colors of her clothes did not diminish her beauty, but rather highlighted her fair skin and lovely appearance.

Like a little fairy who had stepped out of a celestial gate, she was radiant and adorable.

Scrunching her nose, she was unbelievably cute.

Gu Yingzhou had no resistance to cute things to begin with.

Seeing Tangbao’s adorable expression, his heart nearly melted.

He wished he could hold her in the palm of his hand and caress her gently.

Lin Tang suddenly remembered that Sea City was Gu Yingzhou’s second hometown, and she reached out to pull on his sleeve.

"Zhouzhou, what’s this smell from?"

She usually didn’t like sweets, and it must be because her period was drawing near, making her crave something sweet.

It has to be that!

Seeing Tangtang act coquettishly with him, Gu Yingzhou felt refreshed and invigorated.

Every pore seemed to be opened up.

He extended his arm to embrace the young girl’s shoulder, leading her away from bumping into pedestrians.

Soon, he withdrew his hand.

"...Over there, follow me."

As he spoke, he led Lin Tang towards a corner.

Not far behind them, Wan Manzhu gritted her teeth, mentally slaying Lin Tang eight hundred times.

Foxy fox, crafty fox...

"Achoo!" Lin Tang sneezed.

Gu Yingzhou pulled a tissue from his pocket to wipe her nose.

"Tomorrow at noon, I’ll bring you ginger brown sugar," he declared, leaving no room for refusal.

Whether she caught a cold or not, sweating it out would be good.

Lin Tang accepted his kindness plainly, "All right then."

As they crossed the corner, the sweet aroma she had detected was finally before her eyes.

It was a small shopfront.

Inside a modest glass display case were various pastries fresh from the oven.

The pastries used flour and sugar, so they weren’t cheap, and not many people bought them.

Gu Yingzhou, familiar with Lin Tang’s tastes, selected several kinds.

After paying, he took the pastries wrapped in waxed paper.

They left the crowded area.

The two walked along the path toward the bookstore.

Gu Yingzhou took out a plum blossom-shaped cake from the waxed paper and offered it to the young girl.

"This is the store’s specialty pastry, give it a try," he said.

"Okay," Lin Tang cheerily replied.

She took a small bite and then felt deeply disappointed.

The taste didn’t live up to the aroma.

It wasn’t even as good as her own cooking.

Sickly sweet, and much too mushy!

Seeing the flash of disappointment in her eyes, Gu Yingzhou let out a soft sigh.

Food supplies were tight, and many people couldn’t even eat their fill. This pastry shop was set up especially to diversify food options.

It was good to even have them; naturally, they couldn’t be as delicious as Tangtang’s own creations.

Gu Yingzhou shook his head, reached out, and took the rest of the cake from Lin Tang’s hand.

"You don’t like things that are too sweet. One bite is enough; I’ll eat the rest for you," he said.

After speaking, he ate down the majority of the cake.

He looked natural, as if nothing was amiss.

Lin Tang was so bemused by his effortless action that her little face stiffened instantaneously.

Her incredulous expression was so obvious that Gu Yingzhou found his hand trembling under the gaze of those sparkling eyes.

"What’s the matter?" he asked in a husky voice.

Lin Tang pursed her lips slightly, whispering, "...I’ve bitten into that cake."

"So what? It’s not like I haven’t eaten your leftover fried buns," Gu Yingzhou replied casually, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"That’s not the same thing!" Lin Tang protested.

She hadn’t bitten into the leftover buns, but today’s pastry had truly been tasted.

It was embarrassing.

"Why isn’t it the same?" Gu Yingzhou asked with a light laugh, continuing to tease the young girl.

His handsome face now bore a hint of roguish charm.

Lin Tang: "..."

"...Everything’s different!" she retorted with a pout.

Gu Yingzhou couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He reached out and playfully flicked the young girl’s nose, saying, "Alright, alright, if you say it’s different, then it’s different."

"Weren’t we going to the bookstore? Let’s go, it’s just around the corner."

Despite the teasing, when it was time to get serious, Lin Tang instantly became earnest.

Her dark and glossy eyes shone with anticipation.

Her steps quickened significantly.

As they spoke, they turned a corner and were greeted by a rather grand building.

The steps were tall, as was the building as a whole.

It looked quite majestic!
