As autumn drew to a close, the season was nearing its end, with heavy dew and frost. Last night, the temperature plummeted to below zero, causing a snowfall in the Imperial Capital, blanketing the world in white.
When Yaoyao got up, she was bundled into thick winter clothes by her mom, complete with a fuzzy cashmere hat and thick gloves. Standing in front of the mirror, Yaoyao saw her round self. The winter clothes were a festive scarlet. This made her look like a candied hawthorn ball dipped in powdered sugar, making her mouth water a little.
She clattered downstairs and happily enjoyed her breakfast before being dragged out by Seventh Brother for a snowball fight. Accompanying them were also two little nephews, who were extremely fond of snow and went wild, throwing themselves into the snow piles. However, they soon became unhappy. "Waaaaah, I don't want to play anymore! Little Auntie is bullying people!"
Gu Panpan, from Third Brother's family, finally couldn't hold back his wails after being hit by who knows how many snowballs. He cried as he ran towards the villa, but his feet slipped, and with a thump, he landed face-first in the snow.
Gu Yu almost bent over double with laughter, because this was his own doing. Who knew that this little rascal would dare to have a snowball fight with his own sister? Faced with Yaoyao, who never missed and was quick to grab snow, his cheap nephew would naturally fail, getting pelted until he doubted his life. Thus came the scene from just now.
"Whoooooo~" Gu Panpan, struggling to get up, had his little face flushed red. He angrily looked at his gloating uncle and ran even faster.
"Tsk~ that kid, can't handle it. When I was his age, his dad almost buried me in the snow, and I didn't even cry!" Gu Yu said with a chuckle. He didn't feel that bullying the small was inappropriate, even finding it enjoyable.
After making fun of him, he turned to see his sister already building a snowman. He happily walked over. Seeing his sister intently staring at the snowman, he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he cheekily squeezed next to her.
"Yaoyao, what little gift did you prepare for Dad's birthday? If you're afraid it's not suitable, give it to Seventh Brother to take a look, okay?" Calculating the time, it was almost time for the birthday banquet tomorrow, and it was a big one, so naturally it would be grand. Although the Gu family didn't care about sending extravagant gifts, there had to be some thought behind it.
"It's a secret, can't reveal it before the birthday! Seventh Brother, don't ask anymore!" Yaoyao had been focused on building the snowman. Her hand slipped when Seventh Brother interrupted,
and the carrot in her hand accidentally poked into the snowman's forehead. She frowned, quickly reaching out to pull it out and placing it where its nose should be. Seeing her masterpiece completed, Yaoyao revealed a satisfied smile.
"If you don't want to say, then don't say it. You'll find out tomorrow anyway. Let's go, Seventh Brother will take you out for some milk tea." Gu Yu wasn't annoyed by his sister's rejection. It was freezing cold, and having a warm cup of milk tea would definitely be a treat.
The main reason was that he didn't want to stay at home. Because for the birthday banquet, his troublesome brothers, whom he didn't often see at home, had all returned. Those nagging people would show off and lecture him at every turn.
He couldn't refute them either, since he really was the least successful. This made him feel annoyed. So, these days, he would take any opportunity to run outside. Going out for milk tea was a great excuse.
Of course, running outside too many times would inevitably look suspicious. At this moment, his own sister came in handy. As long as he used his sister as an excuse, those pretentious brothers would all shut their mouths and look at him with envy and jealousy.
Gu Yu felt that this made his heart much lighter. What if his sister didn't take the bait? There was absolutely no need to worry about that. Haven't you seen those eyes of his sister, shining so brightly that they could make the stars jealous?
...
At the milk tea shop, in front of the ordering counter, a small figure recited a long list of toppings as if reading a menu. "Boss, my milk tea needs boba, brown sugar pearls, Dadu meat, red bean, mochi, glutinous rice..."
Because the list was really too long, the customers ordering nearby couldn't help but look over. Their lips twitched. After ordering all that, where was she going to drink milk tea? It was completely becoming a congee!
What a strange person, they thought as they looked at the counter with skeptical eyes. However, the next moment, sounds of exclamation came from within the people.
"Wow, so cute!" "So cute, and it's so cold, what's so strange about drinking a bit of congee? It's normal!"
They saw the little milk doll in front of the ordering counter wearing a bright red down jacket, with plump cheeks and rosy peach cheeks. She was so cute that people's hands itched to pinch them. The doll's features were very beautiful, with big, sparkling grape eyes,
curled eyelashes, and skin as smooth as milk. Even her lips were a watery, pinkish red... She was more beautiful than the child stars on TV. Even heterosexual men with questionable taste were melted by this beauty.
Standing next to this doll was a tall, slender boy, whose looks, height, and sense of style complemented each other. Most of the people in the milk tea shop were girls, and now they were all attracted by this small and large combination. These two were none other than Gu Yu and Yaoyao, who had come out for milk tea.
"Seventh Brother, come sit here!" At this moment, there were quite a few orders in the shop, so they weren't up next yet. Yaoyao found an empty seat nearby and sat down.
She took out a tablet from her bag, put on her headphones, and opened a fruit-cutting game. She liked this game's experience, particularly the sound of cutting the fruit, which was very de-stressing.
"Don't wear both headphones. You won't be able to hear when they call out your number later." Gu Yu saw his sister about to take out her second headphone and stopped her with a smile. "Okay~" Yaoyao paused slightly with her outstretched hand. Between milk tea and games, she chose the former.
The milk tea shop was busy with people coming and going, somewhat noisy. Yaoyao went past thirty levels, and it was finally their turn to order. She happily received her milk tea, a "congee" with the toppings practically overflowing. Gu Yu was afraid she wouldn't be able to suck it up, but the results proved that he had thought too much. His sister had no difficulty eating it at all.
Seeing that she had her drink in hand, he and his sister were about to leave when a girl in her twenties suddenly ran over. She was wearing a long down jacket, with somewhat delicate features. She spoke with an excited tone, "Master, wow, it really is you! I almost thought I saw wrong."
"I'm a loyal fan of your live streams! I never thought I'd actually see you in person. Can... can I take a photo with you?" The girl's enthusiasm was a bit much, making Yaoyao feel a little embarrassed. She had never encountered this kind of situation, so she looked at Seventh Brother in a bit of a loss, her big eyes full of pleading.
Seeing this, Gu Yu found it quite amusing. He didn't want to put his sister on the spot, so he smiled and smoothly said, "Miss, photos are alright. But before that, I think you need to calm down first." Having been an idol, Gu Yu was used to the enthusiasm of fans offline, so he could deal with it smoothly.
"Ah, I'm sorry! I was too excited!" As expected, the girl, hearing this, had a slightly flushed face, also realizing that she had been too excited. Then she calmed down, looking at Yaoyao with bright eyes, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
However, instead of the Master's nod, she heard the Master say, "Miss, don't worry about the photo. You should go back and deal with the problems at your home first!" This reply was too unexpected, and she was instantly stunned.
