Chapter 480: 480 Her boyfriend is incredibly strong

Lin Zhixuan, thinking his little aunt must be tired, had no objections to being held by someone else.

He nestled quietly in Gu Yingzhou’s arms like a little milk cat.

Lin Tang asked, "I was just about to take Zhixuan to eat, how come you’re here?"

Gu Yingzhou, recalling how his brother-in-law had urged him out early in the morning to find Tangtang, rubbed his brow.

"I came to find you," he said.

Lin Tang was surprised, "Is there something you need?"

Gu Yingzhou’s gaze softened, and he played coy, "I won’t say now, I’ll tell you after we eat. It’s good news."

"...Okay then."

The trio walked toward the state-owned restaurant.

The young man was tall with long legs and handsome features, the young girl fair-skinned and beautiful, delicate in every way.

And look at that child—plump, with a bun-like face and clear eyes, endearing to anyone who saw him.

The three of them walking together turned many heads.

Especially now during mealtime, with the streets quite crowded, you can imagine the amount of attention they attracted.

Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou were obviously used to it.

Lin Zhixuan, however, was not.

The child, feeling uneasy, buried his face and peered at the people around through a small gap in his eyes, occasionally tightening his grip on Gu Yingzhou’s shirt.

Gu Yingzhou, sensing that the little one was somewhat scared, awkwardly patted his back.

His voice was tender and deep, "Don’t be afraid, those people are looking at you because you’re cute. You have me and your little aunt here. What’s there to fear? No need to be afraid..."

There was nothing he could do about passersby who curiously looked at the adorable child.

They were all well-meaning; he couldn’t very well threaten them just for glancing their way—he wasn’t so domineering.

Comforted by Gu Yingzhou, and feeling the secure embrace of his "little uncle," Zhixuan’s fear gradually faded away.

Lin Tang, noticing how gently and patiently Gu Yingzhou was acting, flickered a look of admiration.

She thought that at this moment, his boyfriend power was through the roof, reaching new levels of attractiveness.

Reaching out to touch Lin Zhixuan’s small hand, she poked the dimples on it and smiled, "Listen to your brother Gu, don’t be afraid."

"Everyone is looking at you because you’re chubby and cute. Your little aunt is right here beside you, so don’t be scared, alright?"

Lin Tang comforted verbally but decided in her heart that she needed to bring the kids from home to the county more often in the future.

Being in the village all the time made them a bit too timid.

Lin Zhixuan looked at Gu Yingzhou and then at Lin Tang and softly retorted, "It’s ’little uncle’."

Lin Tang covered her forehead, full of helplessness.

"He’s not your ’little uncle’ yet; for now, you can only call him Brother Gu." She patiently explained.

To his delight, Gu Yingzhou was pleased with Lin Zhixuan’s change in address, but he was well aware that this was not good for Tangtang.

He rubbed the little guy’s head with a large hand, his voice laced with a smile.

"Listen to your little aunt, for now, call me brother. After I give you a formal meeting gift, you can change how you address me."

Little Zhixuan, just a few years old and still clueless, didn’t understand why he had to wait to call him "little uncle."

His little face fell, and he rubbed his face against Gu Yingzhou’s shoulder, responding softly, "Okay."

If the change had to come later, then it would come later.

Lin Tang, hearing the child agree, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fine to call him whatever in private, but it would be awkward to get it wrong in front of others.

In conversation, the three of them arrived at the state-owned restaurant.

Gu Yingzhou seated Lin Tang and Lin Zhixuan and ordered three dishes at the counter, paying extra for a chef to steam a separate egg custard.

Seeing the new rack of sodas behind the counter, he said, "Bring three bottles of soda."

The server recognized Gu Yingzhou and Lin Tang, knowing that they were capable of paying, and promptly retrieved three bottles of soda.

"You ordered three dishes, totaling one yuan and twenty cents, and three bottles of soda, thirty cents..."

Gu Yingzhou paid the money, grabbed the three bottles of soda and returned to the table.

He inserted straws into the sodas and placed them in front of Lin Tang and Lin Zhixuan.

"The food will be a while yet, and it’s hot. Have some soda first."

Lin Tang smiled her thanks, "Thank you."

Lin Zhixuan promptly thanked him as well.

Gu Yingzhou was someone who got tougher in the face of strength.

But with a soft, obedient child like Lin Zhixuan, he just couldn’t manage it.

It wasn’t just keeping a straight face; even his voice would unconsciously soften.

Thinking of how adorable and sensible Tangtang would have been when she was little, his chest felt immeasurably tender.

"No need to thank me."

Lin Tang also noticed her partner’s unexpectedly patient attitude towards Zhixuan.

She didn’t relate it to herself, thinking instead that Zhixuan was just so well-behaved that everyone naturally loved him.

Midway through their sodas, their meal arrived.

Noticing the egg custard in front of Zhixuan, Lin Tang appreciated Gu Yingzhou’s thoughtfulness and raised her eyebrows slightly, "You went to some trouble."

"Don’t be so formal, it’s nothing. Let’s eat," Gu Yingzhou replied as he picked up some food with his chopsticks, adding, "We have things to do after eating."

Seeing his secretive expression, Lin Tang slightly pouted and got down to eating seriously.

Tsk, still playing coy!

After quickly finishing their meal, the trio left the restaurant.

Lin Qingshan, who had been rushing to catch the workers at the end of their shift, went looking for Tangtang at her rented place but found no one.

Thinking Tangtang might have taken Zhixuan out to eat, he stopped by the state-owned restaurant to try his luck.

He arrived just in time to see Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, Zhixuan," Lin Qingshan called out.

Seeing his dad, Lin Zhixuan ran over to him.

His voice was full of joy.

"Dad, I can learn to draw now. My little aunt found a place for me," he said, casting an affectionate look towards Lin Tang.

"You really found a place?" Lin Qingshan was surprised, "Does the Culture Palace really teach people to draw?"

Seeing his son’s happiness, he too was glad for Zhixuan.

"Thanks, little sister, I know Zhixuan’s been a bother to you."

Lin Tang glared at him as if to say his words were too distant, "What’s there to bother about? It’s too impersonal to talk like that, big brother."

Having said that, she handed him the promotional materials, registration form, and class schedule that she had picked up from the Culture Palace.

"This is the Culture Palace’s brochure, the enrollment and payment slip, and the class schedule for Zhixuan’s lessons. From now on, big brother, you’ll be responsible for picking him up."

Thankfully, there was a bicycle at home, which would save a lot of trouble.

Lin Qingshan skimmed through them and, upon seeing the amount on the payment slip, said, "I’ll pay you back for this."

Lin Tang didn’t decline, "Alright."

Siblings should settle accounts clearly, and she was not one to refuse.

Feeling relieved, Lin Qingshan’s expression relaxed.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take Zhixuan back first. You should go have some rest," he said.

Lin Tang didn’t respond to that but instead asked, "Did you eat, big brother?"

Lin Qingshan replied, "Not yet, I’ll eat something when I get back."

Just then, Gu Yingzhou, who had gone back to the restaurant, came out.

He handed over some buns.

"Brother, have a few buns to fill your stomach first!"

Lin Qingshan was startled by the address.

He wanted to say: Don’t call me brother, I’m not your brother.

Remembering this fellow was his future brother-in-law, his chest ached with irritation.

The buns handed to him were scaldingly hot.

They really were hot to the touch!

With a head full of mixed thoughts, Lin Qingshan forced a smile, "...Thanks."

Accepting sustenance from someone shortened the tongue. Having taken his buns, he couldn’t afford to be ungracious.
