Chapter 675: Chapter 649 Leaving Behind Their Beloved Memories8
“You like rabbits?” Ye Yingsu asked Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded without lifting his head, continuing to play with the bunny toy in his hands.
When Gu Qingxin approached the dining table, Xiao Yi looked up at the sound of her footsteps. His big, dark eyes sparkled with unprecedented excitement as he stood up to hug her.
“Xiao Yi, long time no see,” Gu Qingxin patted his head.
She sat down across from Ye Yingsu. Xiao Yi followed suit, positioning himself next to her. He kept his eyes on her, a smile spreading across his face, signifying his excitement.
“Miss Ye, hello,” Gu Qingxin greeted Ye Yingsu awkwardly.
Ye Yingsu frowned at Gu Qingxin, crossing her arms and leaning back on the sofa, clearly troubled.
Xiao Yi tugged at Gu Qingxin’s sleeve, making a few hand signals. Gu Qingxin, smiling, held his tiny hand, saying, “I’ve missed you too!”
“You understand sign language?” Ye Yingsu looked at her, surprised.
Gu Qingxin shook her head, “No, but I understand him.”
She reached out and ruffled Xiao Yi’s hair – he was simply too adorable. No matter how she looked at him, she was fond of him.
Ye Yingsu scrutinized her, seemingly determining the veracity of her words.
If Gu Qingxin was faking affection for Xiao Yi, that would imply terrifying deceit!
“What do you want to eat, Xiao Yi? It’s my treat,” Gu Qingxin knew Ye Yingsu was watching her, questioning her sincerity towards Xiao Yi.
But none of that mattered to her. All she cared about was making Xiao Yi happy.
With a mere gesture from Xiao Yi, Gu Qingxin understood what he wanted to eat. “Sure! Let’s have burgers!” she said.
Xiao Yi seemed confused by the term ‘burger,’ and looked at her puzzled. Ye Yingsu chimed in, “Those are junk food, kids cannot eat them.”
“Why not? I’ve eaten them since childhood and I am quite healthy! As long as you don’t eat them regularly,” Gu Qingxin replied, ordering the food from a waiter.
Gu Qingxin hadn’t had a burger in a while and was somewhat nostalgic. She ordered two burgers, two iced sodas, and a plate of pasta.
Ye Yingsu ordered a steak.
As the food was served, and as Ye Yingsu began to eat her steak, her gaze fixed on the two people across from her.
Jiang Xinyu held her burger with both hands, mouth wide open, ready for a bite. Seeing her, Xiao Yi mimicked her actions. Gu Qingxin captured the moment with her eyes and took a big bite.
“Yum! This is so delicious!” Gu Qingxin exclaimed, enraptured.
Xiao Yi also took a large bite, copying her, his eyes filled with delight – he clearly loved the burger.
“Let me teach you something. Take a bite of a burger and a sip of iced soda together – it’s the best!” Gu Qingxin lowered her head and took a sip of the soda through the straw.
Xiao Yi followed suit. His dark eyes squinted, exuding a sense of intoxication.
Ye Yingsu watched, dumbfounded. In her mind, one shouldn’t talk while eating, let alone make such exaggerated movements.
This girl was really…
But seeing the rare bliss on Xiao Yi’s face, she could only bear it.
After the meal, Ye Yingsu took both of them to the playground they visited last time. After all, Gu Qingxin had promised Xiao Yi a playdate there.
Gu Qingxin and Xiao Yi took off their shoes to go and play. Xiao Yi held Gu Qingxin’s hand tightly. Turning her head towards Ye Yingsu, who was standing by the entrance with a stiff face, she asked, “Aren’t you coming in to play with us?”
