Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 123 The Scorching Sun (22 pages)

Let's get to know Qi Xuan's identity anew.

Qi Xuan looked at the grown-up boy in front of him.

It evokes the feeling of a father who feels "my son has grown up."

The boy nowadays is only slightly shorter than him when he stands up.

When they left, they were still half a head apart.

The boy in front of me was slender yet proud, with clear and bright features, and the childishness on his face had faded.

The boy in the white shirt looked as clean as the first snowflake falling in winter.

Gu Yao looked at the somewhat dazed young man in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Senior, have you been staring at me for so long that you're stunned?"

Qi Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, A Yao has changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize him. He's become more and more handsome."

Gu Yao returned the compliment, "You've become very handsome now, senior. When you went on stage just now, many girls were secretly praising you. Who wouldn't like a gentle and handsome senior?"

Qi Xuan looked at the increasingly sarcastic boy in front of him, fanned himself with his hand, and teased, "A-Yao, can you smell anything?"

Gu Yao's face stiffened. Could it be that the shampoo he bought on sale at the supermarket didn't smell good?

He washed his hair before leaving the house.

This is the greatest respect he can show.

Qi Xuan took two steps forward, leaned slightly forward, and his tone, tinged with a hint of laughter, exploded in Gu Yao's ear, "What a strong sour smell."

Gu Yao realized that Qi Xuan was teasing him, and he was a little annoyed, so he reached out and pushed Qi Xuan away.

Her eyes glared fiercely at Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan raised his hands in surrender, then reached out and ruffled Gu Yao's hair. "Okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll take you to eat."

Gu Yao nodded, her face exuding an air of noble aloofness.

"Let's go then, Senior Qi!"

Gu Yao drew out the pronunciation of the address, as if afraid Qi Xuan wouldn't hear it.

Qi Xuan shook his head as he watched Gu Yao nod and walk away, then followed Gu Yao with a sense of helplessness.

"A-Yao, wait for me."

Gu Yao stopped and turned around, raising her chin. "Hurry up, Senior Qi is only in his twenties, can't he walk properly already?"

Qi Xuan caught up with Gu Yao, grabbed the boy's hand, and said gently, "Let's go eat."

Gu Yao let him hold his hand, pretending not to see Qi Xuan's little trick of stuffing his fingers between his fingers.

The gaps between his fingers were filled with the warmth of another person, and the familiar scent made Gu Yao feel at ease.

It's like a ship that has been adrift for many years finally finding its harbor.

Qi Xuan led Gu Yao to the private room in the restaurant, pulled out a chair for him, and gestured for him to enter.

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at Qi Xuan with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Senior Qi, it seems you've been pulling out chairs for others quite a bit over the years. With such skill, you must have charmed quite a few young girls."

Hearing Gu Yao's jealous words, Qi Xuan smiled, pulled him over, and pressed him into a seat.

"Is this never going to end? You can't even get this jealous just because I pulled up a chair for A-Yao? Has A-Yao been living in a vat of vinegar all these years?"

Qi Xuan sat down next to him, rinsing the bowls and chopsticks for him while making jokes.

Gu Yao took the chopsticks and snorted.

There was a knock at the door, and Qi Xuan called out, "Come in."

Several waiters lined up to serve the dishes, placing the exquisite dishes on the table.

The lead waiter was quick to understand and led his group out.

Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and leave quickly when it's time to leave.

There were only two people left in the private room.

Facing a table of exquisite dishes.

The only thing that could attract Gu Yao's attention was the exquisitely presented taro bun.

Qi Xuan picked up the plate, moved to a different position, and placed the plate in front of Gu Yao.

"I knew you'd like it. Would you like to try some?"

Gu Yao nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and took one.

It's a familiar smell.

He turned to look at Qi Xuan, "Did your mother-in-law make this?"

Qi Xuan rested his chin on his hand and looked at the boy, his eyes shining. "A Yao's tongue is still as sharp as ever."

Gu Yao forced a smile, her eyes stinging. "It's been so long since I've had my mother-in-law's taro buns since we moved."

Those brownish eyes, glistening with moisture, were like those of an innocent fawn, her gaze towards Qi Xuan filled with affection.

It's as if those beautiful eyes only see you.

The boy's droopy eyes and misty pupils made him look exceptionally innocent.

Qi Xuan reached out and wiped away Gu Yao's tears.

"A-Yao, don't cry, be happy."

May you always be happy.

"Brother, may I see my mother-in-law?"

Qi Xuan carefully wiped away the tears on the person's face, her voice gentle.

"Of course, but you have to have dinner first."

It was that familiar tone of voice again; the way she'd supervise his meals hadn't changed in all these years.

Put a bait in front of him and then coax him to eat.

I always treated him like a child.

They are only one year apart in age.

Gu Yao turned her head away, avoiding Qi Xuan's hand that was trying to touch her hair.

"Qi Xuan, I'm not a child anymore."

Qi Xuan couldn't figure out what kids these days were thinking.

All I could do was nod, coaxing, "Alright, alright, A-Yao is an adult now, so he can't be picky about food."

As he spoke, he placed a piece of carrot into his bowl with his chopsticks.

Gu Yao stared at the lump of carrot in front of him, his expression stiffening, and his gaze towards Qi Xuan filled with resentment.

You know perfectly well that I don't like carrots, so why are you making things difficult for me?

Qi Xuan smiled mischievously, "Didn't A Yao say he's an adult? So he can't be picky about food, he has to eat carrots too."

Gu Yao looked pale and sickly.

Even though she knew Qi Xuan was doing it on purpose, she still picked up the carrot and ate it.

After all, it was given to him by Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan smiled brightly, feeling a strange sense of pleasure in persecuting A Yao.

"Ah Yao, would you like some more?"

Gu Yao shook his head vigorously, a fawning smile on his face. "No need, you eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Mature adults need to learn to feed themselves.

Qi Xuan didn't continue teasing him.

Learn to do things in moderation.

If you tease them too much, even a rabbit will jump over the wall when cornered.

Qi Xuan kept an eye on the boy, occasionally putting food into his bowl.

The boy ate at a leisurely pace, his movements elegant as he raised and lowered his chopsticks.

Although the boy is dressed plainly now, the habits and demeanor he has developed over many years of wealthy life make Gu Yao look like a fallen noble prince.

The innocent and kind-hearted Little Prince seems so easy to win over.

Qi Xuan couldn't help but nod inwardly.

They want to take the boy home right now.

“Ah Yao, I have an apartment near the school. Would you like to move in with me? I want to take care of you.”
