Chapter 12: Hit Someone in the Face

Because of this little incident, Ye Qingtao finished her breakfast hastily. Being scolded early in the morning, although she had fought back, still affected her mood. She only ate half of the things on the table, and Ye Qingtao couldn’t help but mutter a few words. “We ordered too much, it’s a waste. Don’t order so much next time.” “Okay, I’ll listen to you.

” Gu Jingming said good-naturedly, as if the fierce man who had scared Lu Yunchuan away just now wasn’t him. “Gu Jingming, can you change your face?” “What do you mean?” Gu Jingming clearly didn’t understand. Ye Qingtao lowered her voice. “Weren’t you quite fierce just now? Why are you so gentle now?” “It depends on who I’m with.” Gu Jingming thought to himself, he was indeed quite fierce to others. He never went easy on his soldiers during training. But Ye Qingtao was small and soft, he couldn’t bear to say a harsh word to her, how could he be fierce? Every time he saw the scar on her forehead that was still healing, he would feel a pang of pity in his heart. Ye Qingtao’s face flushed slightly, and she quickly got up and left the snack stall.

 Gu Jingming followed her, smiling and saying to her, “Let’s go watch a movie?” “Does the cinema open in the morning?” Ye Qingtao asked in confusion. Gu Jingming scratched his head, indicating that he didn’t know either. “I don’t know, I haven’t been there before.” “Then let’s go shopping first, and go to the cinema later.” “Okay.” They went shopping, but Gu Jingming took Ye Qingtao to the snack street. After Gu Jingming became an adult, he spent most of his time in the army. He didn’t have his own private space and rarely went shopping. In the years he spent in the army, it was common for him to go hungry and freeze while on missions, so he cared most about food. “This osmanthus cake looks good, try it.” Gu Jingming bought a freshly made osmanthus cake and handed it to her. “This stinky tofu is also good, it smells fragrant and tastes even better.”

Gu Jingming bought a piece of tofu again. Seeing that there was a stall making sugar figures, he took Ye Qingtao to the stall. “You spin the wheel.” Ye Qingtao seriously suspected that Gu Jingming was treating her like a child. But she had always loved sugar figures as a child, and she couldn’t help but reach out and spin the wheel. The pointer spun slowly, finally stopping at the dragon position. The children gathered around the stall let out a chorus of envious exclamations. Even the sugar figure stall owner was a little surprised. You know, the dragon and phoenix positions on the wheel were deliberately designed to be very narrow. Most people could only spin to simple cat and dog patterns. The dragon was large, with intricate patterns on its body.

 Making a dragon would use up half a pot of sugar, and the cost was very high. The owner was reluctant, but he couldn’t resist so many eyes watching. There wasn’t much sugar left in the pot, so he melted a new pot of sugar, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and began to skillfully draw the dragon. The children watching all widened their eyes, looking in awe as the dragon-shaped pattern gradually formed under the owner’s strokes.

Ye Qingtao was also very happy. She had lived two lives, spun countless sugar figures, but this was the first time she had spun a dragon. After ten minutes, a lifelike little dragon was made. The owner fixed it with a bamboo skewer, let it harden, and handed it to her.

 “Little girl, you’re really lucky.” The owner was a little reluctant to hand it over, but Ye Qingtao happily took it, her eyes and eyebrows filled with smiles. Gu Jingming bought her a lot of delicious things, and this dragon was the most satisfying. Ye Qingtao took a bite of the dragon, the sweet taste filled her mouth. A group of children looked up at her with longing in their eyes. For a while, the small business of the sugar figure stall boomed. When Ye Qingtao squeezed out of the crowd, she could still hear the sound of pleas, one after another. “Mom, I want to spin the wheel too!” “Mom, that dragon is so big, it used so much sugar, I want to spin a dragon too!”

 “Mom, Mom…” Ye Qingtao had already walked quite a distance, but she could still hear the sound of “Mom, Mom.” “Why do kids all like to call their mothers?” Ye Qingtao asked in confusion. Gu Jingming shook his head. “I don’t really understand either, maybe it’s because only mothers are good in the world, children with mothers are like treasures.” “Yeah, I think so too.” Ye Qingtao suddenly felt a little nostalgic for her deceased mother.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t go back, even if she did, her mother wouldn’t be there. They walked around for a while, and Gu Jingming bought a lot of dried fruit and sugar-fried chestnuts. “You can’t finish all this, why did you buy so much?” “Save it for when we watch the movie.” Gu Jingming smiled gently. He was carrying all kinds of snacks in his hands. Although he wasn’t good at sweet-talking girls, he was really generous with his money. At 10 am, the cinema opened. Gu Jingming led the way, taking her towards the cinema.

 Ye Qingtao bit into the half-eaten sugar figure, following slowly behind Gu Jingming. She occasionally looked up at his back. The man in front of her was tall and handsome, but unfortunately, fate was unfair, such a good man would eventually die a tragic death. They arrived at the cinema, and Gu Jingming found a table to put down their things. “Wait here for a while, I’ll go to the bathroom.” “Go ahead, I’ll continue eating my sugar figure.”

The big dragon had been eaten up, and only the head remained. Ye Qingtao thought the dragon’s head was exquisitely made, and the few whiskers made the whole head come alive.

Ye Qingtao had eaten too much sugar, her little face had turned into a big cat but she didn’t realize it. Although she was a medical doctor, she was still young and had a childlike heart. Ye Qingtao licked the dragon’s whiskers, the sweet taste was very good. “Qingtao, is the sugar figure delicious? Oh! Yunchuan usually takes me to eat big meals, she’s afraid that I’ll eat sugar and it’ll be bad for my teeth, she never lets me eat sugar figures.

” Ye Qingtao was enjoying her food, and a sudden voice rang out beside her ear. Moreover, the voice sounded familiar. She looked up and saw Wei Xueyan, Lu Yunchuan’s white moonlight, following her again. Was she showing off with these words? “Does your family never use a trash can?” Ye Qingtao looked at her in confusion and asked. Wei Xueyan didn’t understand for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask back. “What do you mean?” “I mean, you’re so good at acting, you’ve taken all the garbage, it’s a waste to have a trash can at home.” “Qingtao, I just wanted to say hello to you, why are you suddenly scolding me?” “What did I scold you for?”

 “You scolded me for being fake.” Wei Xueyan looked at her with red eyes and a pitiful expression. Ye Qingtao nodded, asking back with deep conviction. “Isn’t it true?” “Qingtao, how can you say that about me?” Wei Xueyan was like water, she just had to say a few words and her tears would flow. Lu Yunchuan had just bought his ticket and came back, just in time to see Wei Xueyan standing in front of Ye Qingtao, crying sadly. His face instantly turned cold, then he looked at her with disappointment. “Ye Qingtao, are you so jealous of Xueyan?”
