I Have Decided to Go Look for My Real Father

Finding My Father - CH 097

Chapter 97 - Lin Anxin wanted to expose Gu Xi's infamous past in front of her new schoolmates. (1)

That night, after Gu Xi had settled in and was just about to start studying, a message popped up on her phone.

It was from Gu Chenyi with just four words: [Come to your door.] He even added a you-know­-whatemoji at the end of it.

Gu Xi was baffled but she still walked over to the door with her cellphone on hand.

"What is it?" asked Gu Xi with her brows raised as she looked at Gu Chenyi who looked like he had just returned from the outside.

"Take you to good food." Gu Chenyi dragged Gu Xi downstairs with him when he was done talking.

Gu Chenyi retrieved bags of snacks that he had stored at the front desk and handed them all over to Gu Xi.

"I heard that this shop was all the raved so I went," said Gu Chenyi. This shop was all the raved and he had to stand in line for almost an hour.

Gu Xi looked down at them. There were roasted cheese, roasted marsh mellows, milk tea, all sorts of sweets. All in all, everything that one could think of.

"This much?"

"I worry that you didn't have enough to eat at night."

Gu Chenyi noticed that Gu Xi didn't seem to have eaten a lot over dinner. Worried that she'd be hungry, he went to the raved shop and bought one of every one of their items.

– As his Second Uncle had provided him with budgets, he couldn't possibly let Xixi go hungry.

Luckily Gu Xi couldn't read Gu Chenyi's mind. She would otherwise have asked him: Boy, you don't have a very good idea of a girl's appetite.

Gu Xi ate quite a bit over dinner.

Regardless, the food that Gu Chenyi had bought looked quite delectable. She could smell the sweet milky aroma even through the paper bag.

In a corner of the hotel, two silhouettes squatted behind a couch and ate stealthily.

Looking at Gu Xi, who said she wasn't hungry just a second ago, devouring the food, Gu Chenyi patted her on her should suddenly.

"Take advantage of your two free days to enjoy the yummy food," said Gu Chenyi.

Gu Xi gave him a speechless look. "Why do you say that?"

"Why do you think. Second, um, I mean your parents must not let you eat these at home."

With his understanding of his second uncle, most definitely not. About 90% of yummy food were but junk food in the eyes of his second uncle. He had well experienced that at the dinner table at the Gu's.

– Aren't you worried that my parents will want to have a talk with you?

Gu Xi gave Gu Chenyi a silent look.

"Don't worry. I will make arrangements for you for the next couple of days." Gu Chenyi had already started planning what tasty food to bring Gu Xi the next day.

"This one is yummy!" Having said that, Gu Chenyi handed over the cheese stick that he had taken a bite out of over to Gu Xi. "Here, try this."

Gu Xi, "......"

Seeing that Gu Xi didn't react to that, Gu Chenyi thought she didn't believe him and said again, "Really. I am not kidding you. This marsh mellow with liquid filling was amazing."

"Try it for yourself. You can give it back to me if you don't like it. I don't mind."

The corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched. "......" But I do.

"You enjoy it." Gu Xi paused for a little, then said, "I'm already full."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then give me the rest."

Gu Chenyi took the remaining food and woofed them all down.

Looking at the boy who looked like he could go "another round", Gu Xi couldn't help but thought to herself: Are you sure it wasn't you who wanted to snack and just dragged me here with you?

The two get ready to go back when they were done eating.

They were just about to walk inside of an elevator when they saw two girls walking out, holding hands.

"I heard there's a very good place nearby that was quite the rave."

"Do you think they are still open?"

"I checked their time. They should still be open and it is just a few hundred meters from here......"

As the two talked about the small shop, they stopped abruptly the second they saw Gu Xi. Their eyes widened and they looked incredulous.

Apparently, the two of them recognized Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't know them but she recognized Liming's emblem on their clothes.
