Chapter 62: 62 Sickly Cute
The two of them were too close; her breath fell on his ear, and he could clearly feel his earlobe burning.
“No,” he denied, not turning his head to look at her.
Gu Jiao, however, kept staring at him. His earlobe and cheek were both hot, the slender and slightly reddish neck under his black hair was filled with adolescent naivety and charm.
“I don’t care, I heard it anyway.”
With that, Gu Jiao went out, satisfied.
Xiao Liulang this time gave her a glance and noticed she had grown taller. Although her body was still slender, it had filled out in all the right places.
Where was he looking?
Xiao Liulang shamefully withdrew his gaze.
That night, Xiao Liulang had a rather peaceful sleep.
Upon waking, he glanced to see a little foot sprawled across his chest.
Little Xiaoshun was spread out in all directions, sleeping in the most presumptuous manner.
Xiao Liulang moved his little foot away, remained silent for a moment, took out the sachet given by Gu Jiao, placed it in the most eye-catching position on the pillow, and then started to study with the lamp.
Upon waking, Xiaoshun noticed the sachet on the pillow, rubbed his big eyes and asked in confusion, “Hmm? What’s this?”
Xiao Liulang casually replied while studying, “It’s a sachet.”
Xiaoshun hadn’t seen a sachet before and kept turning it over, “Who made it? It’s so pretty!”
“Your sister made it,” Xiao Liulang said.
“Is it for me?” Xiaoshun grabbed the sachet, swiftly climbed up, and excitedly bounced around the bedchamber.
Xiao Liulang looked at him without change in his expression: “You’re thinking too much, it was given to me.”
“…” Xiaoshun suddenly stopped bouncing.
Xiaoshun didn’t believe it and took the sachet to Gu Jiao, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, for confirmation.
Gu Jiao had no choice but to admit.
Xiaoshun felt wronged.
He wasn’t a greedy child, it’s just a child’s nature that he doesn’t understand why the bad brother-in-law gets one and he doesn’t!
Looking at his aggrieved expression, Gu Jiao was moved.
Gu Jiao had never raised a child, so she neglected the fact that this might cause a psychological imbalance. She main reason is that she didn’t expect Xiao Liulang to be childish enough to show off the sachet to Xiaoshun…
Gu Jiao explained to Xiaoshun the origin of the sachet. Being a sensible child, Xiaoshun was no longer unhappy after knowing its significance.
Boldly, he went back to his room and returned the sachet to Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang squinted at him, “Not angry anymore?”
Xiaoshun arched his chin and gave him a pitiful look: “So your grades are that bad! Just coming first once, and you need a reward! I always come first at the temple, I’m used to it, I don’t need a reward!”
Xiao Liulang: “…”
Today was another day of wanting to kick the annoying little monk out.
After a while, Gu Xiaoshun came home for breakfast and met the new member of the house, Xiaoshun.
Xiaoshun finally learned that there were not only two men in the house, Gu Xiaoshun was also a man of the house, he just didn’t live here.
Compared to Xiao Liulang who always set traps for Xiaoshun, Gu Xiaoshun did not pose enough threat to make Xiaoshun cautious. Xiaoshun happily became good friends with him!
After the two went to school, Gu Jiao also prepared to go to town.
The winter clothes for old lady after she came here were made by Xue Ningxiang, back then Xue Ningxiang wasn’t busy. But with the coming of spring, Xue Ningxiang had to start farming and had no time for sewing. Gu Jiao planned to buy a few sets of ready-made clothes for the old lady in town.
Xiaoshun also needed some new clothes, he was abandoned at the temple when he was half a year old and had never left the mountain since, his pack was filled with little monk robes.
Hearing that Gu Jiao was going to the town, Xiaoshun immediately had stars in his eyes: “Can I go? Can I go?”
If it were just for buying clothes, Gu Jiao would of course take him, but Gu Jiao had other things to do.
Gu Jiao rubbed his little bald head: “I’ll take you next time.”
Gu Jiao could see that Xiaoshun still wanted to go, but he did not throw a tantrum and obediently stayed.
This kid, quite a worry saver.
Gu Jiao took her small basket and went to town.
