Chapter 135: Longevity Noodles
"Mom, it’s still early. How about we have breakfast first and then head to the airport?" Yiyi glanced at the time and couldn’t help suggesting.
Ding Yuejun naturally smiled and nodded, "Sure."
However, before the two could leave, there was a knock at the door.
"Huh... who could it be this early?" Ding Yuejun went to open the door with some curiosity. Upon seeing Gu Tingyu standing outside, she quickly asked, "Xiao Gu, how come you’re here?"
"Aunt Ding, you and Yiyi haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I specifically brought some breakfast for you two. Please sit down and have some." Gu Tingyu said as he lifted the thermal container in his hand.
Upon hearing Gu Tingyu’s voice, Yiyi quickly walked over and her eyes lit up as she said, "Gu Tingyu, why are you here so early?"
Seeing the young girl’s charming and lively expression, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Yiyi, happy birthday."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, and her eyes sparkled even brighter, "Thank you."
Gu Tingyu said with a smile, "No need to thank me," and then opened the thermal container. "Yiyi, I brought longevity noodles for you. Come and have a bowl. I only found out yesterday that today is your birthday, so I didn’t have time to prepare anything else and just managed to make you a bowl of longevity noodles."
This was a sudden idea he had this morning. Remembering how Yiyi had helped him greatly last time, he felt he couldn’t do nothing knowing it was her birthday. After contemplating, he decided to make longevity noodles for her.
Ding Yuejun looked at the longevity noodles inside the thermal container and gave Gu Tingyu a thoughtful look, feeling this young man was very considerate for knowing to make noodles for her daughter. Her face showed more smiles.
Gu Tingyu had made plenty, enough for both Yiyi and her mother.
After the two finished eating, Gu Tingyu packed up the thermal container.
"Xiao Gu, thank you for making the longevity noodles for Yiyi today."
Gu Tingyu quickly waved his hand, saying no thanks were needed, then looked towards Yiyi, "Mrs. Song mentioned you last time. She would definitely be pleased to know you came to Shangjing, but it’s a pity you’re leaving today."
"Next time we have the chance to come to Shangjing, let’s visit her."
Ding Yuejun asked curiously, "Which Mrs. Song?"
Yiyi didn’t elaborate on the incident, just mentioned she met when helping Gu Tingyu last time.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun didn’t inquire further.
"Aunt Ding, Yiyi, let me take you to the station."
Ding Yuejun quickly waved her hand, saying, "No need, no need, we’ll go by ourselves."
"It’s no trouble, Aunt Ding. It’s more convenient for me to drive you."
Seeing her mother still hesitating, Yiyi knew it was because her mom didn’t want to trouble others, so she quickly said, "Mom, since Gu Tingyu has a car, let’s just go with him, so we don’t have the hassle of transferring vehicles."
"Then we’ll trouble Xiao Gu."
Ding Yuejun considered that they would have to carry bags and agreed.
However, before the three could leave, there was another knock at the door.
"Strange, who could it be again?"
"Mom, it might be Teacher Yang; she mentioned yesterday she’d come to see us off."
Ding Yuejun recalled Yang Liu’s words from yesterday and hurriedly went to open the door. Seeing Yang Liu and A Cheng at the door, she smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, come on in."
"Yiyi, A Cheng and I will go back with you." Yang Liu entered with a big smile, then froze upon seeing Gu Tingyu; she hadn’t expected someone else to be there.
Fang Cheng was even more surprised to see Gu Tingyu.
"Gu Tingyu?"
Gu Tingyu nodded towards Fang Cheng, "Young Master Fang."
Seeing they knew each other, Yiyi was also a bit surprised, but considering they were both Shangjing people, it wasn’t too surprising.
"Yiyi, let’s head out now. I remember your flight is at nine thirty."
After checking the time, Yiyi also felt it was time to leave.
Ding Yuejun saw Yang Liu and her husband wanted to go back with them and quickly turned to Gu Tingyu, saying, "Xiao Gu, since Teacher Yang is leaving with us, it won’t be necessary to trouble you."
Yiyi was slightly anxious hearing this. It was rare to see Gu Tingyu, and she wanted to spend more time with him, "Mom, Teacher Yang and the others surely have plenty of luggage, so we’d better take Gu Tingyu’s car."
Ding Yuejun was surprised and looked at her daughter. Upon seeing her glance at Gu Tingyu, her thoughts became clearer, but with Yang Liu and her husband present, she said nothing, instead conforming to Yiyi’s suggestion, "Yes, let’s take Xiao Gu’s car."
Yang Liu initially wanted to say they didn’t have much luggage, but Fang Cheng spoke first, "Alright, we’ll see you at the airport then."
Seeing this, Yang Liu said nothing more. However, on the way to the airport, she couldn’t help but say to A Cheng, "We don’t really have much luggage, Ding Aunt and Yiyi could comfortably fit."
Fang Cheng chuckled, "You really didn’t notice?"
"Notice what?"
Seeing his wife genuinely didn’t notice, Fang Cheng shook his head and said, "Yiyi might have a bit of a fondness for Gu Tingyu, so we shouldn’t disrupt their chance to be together."
"What..."
Yang Liu was full of surprise, "Yiyi has a fondness for that young guy just now, but...but she’s still in school."
"Liu’er, actually, Yiyi isn’t too young. Didn’t we meet at this age too?"
Yang Liu was at a loss for words hearing this, finally asking curiously, "Then who exactly is this Gu Tingyu? Are you familiar with him?"
Speaking of Gu Tingyu, Fang Cheng simply said, "He’s a good person, but... compared to the Gu Family, we’re considered a small family, so who knows what the Gu Family thinks."
Yang Liu frowned upon hearing this.
Even though she was married to Fang Cheng, the Fang Family had yet to accept her. Thinking about how the Gu Family was an even more prestigious family than the Fang Family, she instantly thought Gu Tingyu might not be a good choice, and Yiyi would certainly face challenges, yet... she looked at Fang Cheng and didn’t say it out loud.
If asked whether she regretted, she didn’t, for Fang Cheng was truly wonderful, so maybe that Gu Tingyu was good too.
Seeing his wife’s indecisive expression, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.
"Liu’er, everything is just my speculation for now, so there’s no need to overthink."
When the couple arrived at the airport, Yiyi and her mother were already there.
"Gu Tingyu, thank you so much for today."
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. Next time you come to Shangjing, be sure to let me know in advance."
"Okay."
Yiyi said with a bright smile.
"Yiyi, we need to go."
Ding Yuejun saw her daughter happily chatting with Gu Tingyu and couldn’t help but remind her.
