“You’re calling me Young Aunt?” Gu Qingyao laughed.
Mo Chengxu nodded hurriedly. “Yes! Young Uncle specially told me this! He said to call you Young Aunt and that you are my Young Aunt in the future. But…”
Mo Chengxu frowned, seeming to be very troubled.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “But what?”
“It’s so strange to call you aunt! You’re not old!”
“Pfft…” Gu Qingyao was thrilled. Little kids were truly fun to be with.
“Why don’t you… call me Elder Sister Gu in the future?”
Mo Chengxu immediately shook his head furiously. “No, no. Young Uncle will beat me up if he finds out about it. He is very scary when he gets angry. He said that I’m a boy and he will hit me if I’m disobedient. He will only not hit girls like Young Aunt.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
What has Mo Beihan been telling this child?
After being fed a bowl of noodles and plenty of chicken meat, Mo Chengxu rubbed his round tummy in satisfaction and said, “Young Aunt, you make delicious food.”
Gu Qingyao smiled and caressed his head. “I will cook for you frequently in the future.”
Mo Chengxu and Mo Chengrui’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you, Young Aunt!”
Once the three finished eating, Gu Qingyao took the crock and returned home.
Mo Beihan’s dormitory, Nancheng.
The door opened with a bang. Panting, a young lady in a gray-blue plaid outerwear and black pants stood at the door.
She had a doll-like face and her large eyes flickered. With her two little braids, she looked extremely pretty and adorable!
“Mo Beihan, are you really engaged?”
Ji Mingyue was furious. She had liked Mo Beihan for so long and in the time that he was here, she had never heard of him having a partner or giving special treatment to any female comrade. He only made a trip back to his home but was suddenly engaged when he returned?
There were so many girls in the city but he liked none and actually liked a village bumpkin?
Mo Beihan’s brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the girl before him. He still had some memory of this girl – she was the younger sister of one of his best friends.
Mo Beihan nodded. “Mhm! I’m indeed engaged. Do you want to eat some wedding candy?”
Ji Mingyue: …
Then, she watched Mo Beihan grab a handful of wedding candy from the still-unwrapped package and handed it to her. “Here! These are gummy candies. Eat them!”
Ji Mingyue: …
Ji Mingyue stared at the gummy candies before her and out of a sudden, she dashed into Mo Beihan’s dormitory, where she shouted furiously, “Mo Beihan, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?”
Mo Beihan frowned. Why was this girl so angry?
Wasn’t having candies to eat in this era a good thing?
Before he could think much, Ji Mingyue already began to complain, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you’re going back to get engaged? You clearly know that I’ve liked you for so long. Why did you still go back to get engaged?
“There are so many girls in the city but you do not fancy any of them. Why do you like a village bumpkin? Tell me, are you… you being forced by your family? Tell me, why did you get engaged to her?”
Mo Beihan’s expression turned cold when she called Gu Qingyao a village bumpkin in a disdainful manner.
“Whom I get engaged to has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately, female comrade. Right now!”
Ji Mingyue was shocked! Without control, she retreated a few steps and shuddered.
Why did the Mo Beihan before her feel different than before?
