Gu Lanshi weighed Gu Youyou’s weight and compared it with the last time he hugged her in his memory. In the end, he came to a conclusion. “You seemed to be a little heavier.”

Youyou said in a coquettish voice, “I ate well.”

Gu Lanshi said, “The teacher said that you ate too much and have to control yourself.”

Youyou said, “Grandma Lin said that eating is a blessing.”

“It’s indeed a blessing to be able to eat.” Gu Lanshi put Youyou down and placed her at the door of the cake shop. Then, he leaned over and tidied

Youyou’s coat. “But if you don’t control your diet rationally, I won’t be able to carry you in the future.”

Youyou was skeptical. “Really?”

Gu Lanshi said, “So there’s only one cake today. There’s no second one.”

Youyou gave in obediently. “All right.”

Just now, when he saw the little guy’s eyes darting around as she calculated, Gu Lanshi knew that this little guy was preparing to bargain. It should be because he wanted two cakes. This was not the first time.

Gu Lanshi freed one hand to lift the curtain of the cake shop.

The moment the curtain was lifted, Youyou slipped in.

Gu Lanshi could tell that Auntie Lin had probably brought the little guy to this cake shop a few times. Seeing how familiar she was, she pointed at the glass window and shouted coquettishly, “Boss, boss, I want this cake. Put half a grapefruit in it.”

The boss was a young girl. She had no business at this moment and was munching on melon seeds and watching a variety show live-stream.

Seeing that the little darling who loved to buy her cakes was here again, the lady boss put down the melon seeds and replied, “Little darling, there’s no more grapefruit left.”

Youyou pouted and looked at Gu Lanshi. “Brother, the boss said that there are no grapefruit today.”

Gu Lanshi said, “Then do you have any fruits you want to eat?” Youyou didn’t hesitate. “Will strawberries do?”

Gu Lanshi said to the lady boss, “Then make strawberries.”

“Uh… Okay, okay.” The lady boss stared at Gu Lanshi for a long time. She remembered that the person who had brought this little baby to buy cake seemed to be her Grandma. Today, it was actually a different person!

It was a handsome man! Although he was wearing a mask, the lady boss was sure that there must be a handsome face under the mask!

The lady boss took out the plate of melon seeds. “Sit, eat the melon seeds, watch TV, and wait. Otherwise, you’ll be bored.”

Gu Lanshi took it. “Thank you.”

The lady boss asked Youyou with a smile, “Baby, I remember that your Grandma brought you here before?

Youyou said, “Grandma Lin isn’t coming today. Brother is coming to pick me up today.”

“Brother?” The lady boss’s eyes lit up when she heard the word brother. “Are you saying that this handsome man is your brother?”

Youyou nodded. “Yes.”

The lady boss was overjoyed. She first took a washed strawberry to Youyu. “Try today’s strawberries. It’s not sour at all.” Youyou hesitated, but didn’t take it. The lady boss said, “This is free. Sister will give it to you.”

Only then did Youyou walk over and reach out to take it. “Thank you

The lady boss grinned at Youyou. The more she looked at her, the happier she became. “Good girl. Can I test you?

Youyou asked, “A test? Don’t be too complicated. Youyou knows very, very little, because Youyou is very young. But Youyou’s brother knows a lot.”

The boss asked softly, “Let me test you. What’s your brother’s WeChat number?”

Without thinking, Youyou turned to ask Gu Lanshi, who was sitting there,

“Brother, what’s your WeChat number?”

The lady boss immediately blushed and hurried back to the bakery. When

Youyou turned around, the lady boss was already gone. Youyou returned to Gu Lanshi. “Brother, what’s your WeChat number?”

Gu Lanshi pursed her lips and smiled. “Will you remember it if I say it?”

Youyou stuck to Gu Lanshi and hugged his arm. “Youyou has a good memory.

Grandma said that it must be that my parents have a good memory too. So

Youyou has a good memory.”

Gu Lanshi lowered his eyes and looked at the little guy who was sticking to him. “Youyou, what kind of mother do you think she should be?”

With that, Youyou raised her hand and pointed at the television that was playing a variety show on the wall of the cake shop. “That kind.”

When Gu Lanshi saw Youyou pointing at the person on the television screen, his heart skipped a beat.

Youyou pointed without retracting her finger. “Youyou likes that.”

Gu Lanshi asked softly, “Why?”

Youyou said, “Because the boss likes her very much and calls her Mother. I want her to be my mother too. Can Brother buy her back as my mother?” Gu Lanshi couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly girl, people can’t be bought and sold.”

Youyou frowned. “But Grandma Lin said that you can buy anything on television.”

Gu Lanshi explained, “You can buy all the advertisements on television, but not people. They all exist in reality.”

Youyou seemed to understand. “Got it.”

At this moment, the live-stream of “Mother-in-Law Joy” was playing on the screen. The lady boss should be projecting the screen. In a few scenes, the lady boss chose to watch Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou’s live-stream. It was obvious that she had been watching it for a few episodes. There was still one comment that had not been posted.

The last few times Youyou came to buy cake, the lady boss had been chasing Mother-in-Law Joy.

At that time, Li Xiwu’s identity as Mother Dragon had just been exposed. The lady boss called her Mother through the screen. That was the first time Youyou had known that she could find her mother on television.

Gu Lanshi leaned over and picked her up. She sat on his lap and tidied her bangs. “If I bring her to you, will you like her?”

Youyou replied without hesitation, “I will.”

Gu Lanshi asked, “Then do you want her to be your mother or your sister?”

This time Youyou hesitated before answering. “Mom’s better.” With that, Youyou pointed at the screen again. “He’s Dad. That way, Brother and I will have Mom and Dad.”

Gu Lanshi choked. “It’s such a serious matter to choose Mom and Dad. Why are you so casual, Youyou?

Youyou hugged Gu Lanshi’s arm and said in a low voice, “I’m not very casual. Youyou likes her very much. Youyou has already seen her many times because she’s also on the television Grandma Lin watches.”

Gu Lanshi’s eyes were focused, but they were unfocused.

Li Xiwu’s figure had already begun to appear frequently in Youyou’s world, but in Li Xiwu’s current world, Youyou had never existed.

But these were only temporary. Gu Lanshi put Youyou down and asked her seriously, “Do you want to see her?”

Youyou had more of that strawberry cake in her heart now. She hesitated a little at the question. “Can we go after the strawberry cake?”

Gu Lanshi smiled. “Of course.”

Youyou asked, “Then can I have another cake?”

Gu Lanshi said, “Huh?”

Youyou put on a serious expression. “A greeting gift.” Gu Lanshi couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, a greeting gift..”
