Gu Jianian didn't understand the implication of his words and just shook his head.

She was afraid that he wouldn't come.

She stopped talking and ate her ice cream in silence.

Before Gu Jianian came to Yunmo, he seldom ate ice cream or drank cold drinks. His parents said that eating cold drinks would easily make him sick, and if he got sick he would have to go to the hospital, which would affect his studies.

After coming to Yunmo, she often went to the village store to buy the milk-flavored puddings that cost one yuan each. Later, her grandmother bought a whole batch at one time and froze them in the small refrigerator at home.

My grandmother said that people are not that fragile. As long as we don’t eat too much, there are actually not so many taboos about eating ice in the summer and spicy food in the winter.

But he didn’t expect that the ice cream at the market tasted much better than the ones bought in the convenience store. Gu Jianian couldn’t stop eating one bite after another.

Seeing her eating happily, Chi Yan felt as if he had an appetite as well, so he started eating too.

He asked as he ate: "I just remembered from your grandmother's talk that when you were a child, your name seemed to be Tingting, right? Ting means graceful and elegant?"

Gu Jianian shook his head. "It's the Ting that means stop. My grandmother said that I was too noisy when I was a child, always running all over the mountains and fields, so she named me Ting Ting, hoping that I could stop."

Chi Yan recalled and nodded: "Yes, a little bit."

"What?"

"A little crazy, you like to show off to others. And you've been..." He looked at the half-eaten ice cream on the table and said, "You're a big eater. Every weekend when I went to your grandma's house for dinner, you would look forward to my coming. Your grandma thought you liked playing with me, but in fact you just wanted me to bring you snacks from the snack bar at the school gate. One time I forgot and you ignored me for the whole weekend."

"… "

Gu Jianian couldn't remember at all, and said blushingly: "I was too young at that time and didn't know much. And I'm not a big eater now, it's just your illusion."

It’s just that I had no appetite for the past few days, and today I suddenly figured out something, so I felt more like eating.

Hearing this, Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

Looking at this, the child has really changed a lot. It is said that a child's future can be seen from the age of three. She has completely become a different person.

He couldn't help but ask her: "Are you old enough now? Why do you have to be so sensible?"

Gu Jianian asked in a muffled voice: "Wouldn't it be better to be more sensible?"

"Besides... I'm not as sensible as you think."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, suppressed her expression, ate her ice cream in silence, and stopped talking.

Chi Yan raised his eyebrows.

Why are you still emotional

It’s really hard to guess what children are thinking.

After the two of them finished eating the ice cream, Gu Jianian walked to the shop and bought another one, intending to take it home and freeze it to eat tomorrow.

She thought about it and realized that grandma couldn't eat cold food, so she only brought one for He Jitong.

After paying the bill and turning around, Chi Yan was looking at her in surprise.

His eyes slowly moved from the two ice creams in her hands to her belly.

Gu Jianian understood his eyes: "..."

"This one is for Ji Tongge," she explained, then pointed to the other one and lowered her voice, "This one is for... for Guru."

He also added: "Gulu is my grandmother's cat, and he loves ice cream."
