Chapter 605: Chapter 605: I want to eat yours too

The old man selling popsicles smiled and said, "Young lady, if you eat too many popsicles, you might get a tummy ache. That’s not fun, you know. Buying one or two to cool off is more than enough."

Seeing the sweet, cute little girl, he was reminded of his own granddaughter. He didn’t want her to end up with a stomachache, so he kindly warned her.

Helian Qiao puffed up her cheeks and insisted, "I won’t get a stomachache!"

Her confident milky voice was strong.

Last time she had a stomachache was because it was her first time eating spicy hot pot, not because of five popsicles!

Gu Tingyun quietly coaxed, "Guibao, be good, we can only buy two. We have some at home, we can eat them when we get back."

Even if there was only a slight chance, he couldn’t let Guibao take it.

"No way! I want them all!" Helian Qiao insisted.

She wasn’t that weak!

Gu Tingyun reluctantly stepped back: "Three at most, no more."

This was his last stand!

Hearing his serious tone, Helian Qiao gave in: "Okay."

Otherwise, Mr. Bad Dragon would give her another lecture like the annoying Tang Monk in the Journey to the West.

That incessant chatter was so annoying!

"Grandpa, I want three ice cream cones!"

She hadn’t tried this new product yet, and generally the most expensive ones tasted the best!

"I’ll have a hawthorn popsicle, thank you," Gu Tingyun nonchalantly said.

He preferred the sweet and sour hawthorn flavor.

One would do, just to beat the heat. He never was greedy.

"Ok! That’s eighteen cents in total." The old man selling popsicles and soda cheerfully replied.

He opened the foam cover at the back seat of his bicycle, lifted layers of cotton quilts, and handed out three ice cream cones and a hawthorn popsicle.

Gu Tingyun took out money from his bag, counted and handed it over. He gave the ice cream to Guibao, then took his own hawthorn popsicle.

Helian Qiao immediately tore open the wrapper and took a big bite of the ice cream cone. Finding it tasty, she offered it to Gu Tingyun, saying with delight, "Gu Tingyun, this is tasty, have a taste."

Seeing her remember to share her treat, Gu Tingyun hooked his lips and took a bite without hesitation, "Hmm, it does taste good."

"So I must try yours too!" With a twinkle in her eyes, Helian Qiao requested assertively.

That way she got to eat both the ice cream cone and the hawthorn popsicle!

Gu Tingyun unwrapped his popsicle and let her take the first bite.

Helian Qiao lots a big bite, so big that her cheeks bulged out.

Then, she happily went to the candied haw vendor and mumbled, "I want candied haws too."

"Boss, two strings of candied haws."

Gu Tingyun followed, took money from his bag and paid: "Guibao, you eat one, take the other one for Siyu."

They had popsicles at home, so he opted to bring a candied haw for Gu Siyu instead.

After buying the candied haws, he led Helian Qiao to the side of the road, flagged down a taxi, and the two sat in the back seat.

Helian Qiao was engrossed in eating her ice cream cones, after finishing all of them and the candied haw, she satisfyingly licked the corners of her mouth.

Only then did she bring up the matter of the handsome older man: "Gu Tingyun, do you remember the man we met on the train? I saw him today in the examination room, he was the proctor."

Gu Tingyun gathered the wrappers from the snacks she had finished, planning to throw them away after getting out of the taxi. Hearing this, he reacted indifferently and uttered, "Hmm."
